Comment -
As at 30th June, 2003, the net asset value per Participating Share of the Fund
was US$18.39. This compares with US$15.45 at the interim stage at 31st
December, 2002, and US$16.13 at 30th June, 2002. The Directors do not recommend
payment of a dividend.
Much of the latter part of 2002 and the first quarter of 2003 were dominated by
the steadily increasing probability that there would be a war in Iraq, which
depressed both major and emerging markets in the lead-up to hostilities in mid-
March. The emergence of the SARS virus from China in late 2002 and for a while
its rapid spread in Hong Kong and elsewhere in Asia provoked a disproportionate
reaction in the markets, concentrated heavily on service industries such as
airlines, hotels, and retail in both affected and neighbouring countries. As
evidence gathered in April that military success in Iraq would come more quickly
than expected and as the SARS outbreak came under control, the markets rebounded
strongly, and this carried through the second quarter of 2003, which turned into
one of the strongest in the life of the Fund.
The momentum of markets has been maintained since the year end and we look with
reasonable confidence to the remainder of 2003, although it would be unrealistic
to anticipate returns to continue at the pace of the second quarter.
