The United Asia Fund was the second-best performing Asia ex-Japan equity fund in both 2001 and 2006. Since the fund was incepted in March 1992, it has outperformed its benchmark index - the MSCI AC FE ex Japan USD index – historically, up till 28 February 2007. However, the fund only performed averagely on the aspect of resiliency. During the market correction, which lasted from 5 May to 16 June 2006, the fund lost -12.5%, similar to the average of -12.6%. Nonetheless, we think that there are still certain merits to the fund. These include its strong performance during market upturns and its low expense ratio. The expense ratio of the fund was at 1.72% (as at end-December 2006) - lower than the average expense ratio of 2% of its peers. Similar to most Asia ex-Japan equity funds, this fund invests in a myriad of Asian markets and is recently skewed towards the North Asian markets. These markets include China, South Korea and Taiwan. Based on the fund’s factsheet as at 28 February 2007, these three markets form 62% of its total portfolio. Within the regional funds category, the Asia ex-Japan funds tend to exhibit greater levels of volatility vis-à-vis global, European or US funds. We think that as valuations for the Asia ex-Japan markets are still at reasonable levels and that earnings growth still remains at healthy levels, the region still exhibits good potential in the medium-to-long run

Aberdeen Pacific Equity (Risk Rating:8) (C,O)
Aberdeen Pacific Equity Fund is the most resilient fund during periods of market slumps. Out of the four periods data was available, there were three periods that it was the second most resilient fund. When the Asia ex-Japan market experienced a market downturn from 30 April 2002 to 28 December 2003, the fund lost 15%, much less than the average loss of 24.4%. Performance of this fund, however, tends to lag behind others during periods of strong market upturns. In 2006, the fund returned only 20.1%, slightly lower than the average return of 23.4% delivered by peers. However, we still like this fund because of its resilience and consistent performance. In the period from 2001 to 2006, it emerged as the second best performing Asia ex-Japan fund in 2002, 2004 and 2005. Expense ratio for the fund is 2.1% as at end December 2006, slightly higher than the average of 2% among its peers. Unlike other Asia ex-Japan equity funds, part of this fund invests into Asian single country funds managed by Aberdeen. Funds that appeared in the top ten holdings as at end February 2007 include Aberdeen Singapore Equity Fund, Aberdeen Thailand Equity and other single country funds. It is also exposed to individual Asian equities. We think that this fund is suitable for investors looking for an Asia ex-Japan equity fund that is able to weather strong market volatility in the medium to long-term.
