The MSCI Taiwan Index led the decline, as key export customer Apple cut product orders to manage inventories in the face of lackluster sales of its last generation iPhones. The MSCI China Index fell, as a correction in onshore stock indices on rumors of tightening liquidity paired with increased margin requirements for recently­overheated local commodity futures markets. This correction came despite continued positive surprises in economic growth indicators as well as foreign exchange reserves, indicating less pressure on the currency. The MSCI Hong Kong Index rose slightly, as better­than­expected local property sales and corporate earnings for certain bellwethers helped offset the muted backdrop from China. Market outlook (as at 30/04/16) While government tightening of certain asset markets is seemingly inevitable in China given the frequency of bubbles, we continue expect a pro­growth stance from the central bank. Together with inflecting growth data and the resulting potential for earnings upgrades for economically­sensitive sectors, China markets may continue to recover from the plunge earlier this year. We have increased our overweight in China technology stocks at the expense of Taiwanese technology and financial stocks. The Fund continues to emphasize secular growth in the region.

This document contains information concerning the performance of JF Investment Companies. It does not constitute or contain, and may not be used for the purposes of or in connection with, any offer or invitation or solicitation by or o n behalf of any of the investment companies described herein to subscribe for or to purchase securities by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such offer, invitation or solicitation is not authorised, or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer, invitation or solicitation. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. You should remember that past performance is not a guide to the future. The price of investments and the income from them may fall as well as rise and you may not get back the full amount invested. All performance assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. Total return based on share price reflects changes in market value. Total return based on net asset value reflects changes in the Fund’s net asset value during each period. Shares of the Fund may trade above or below its net asset value. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. When a subscription involves a foreign exchange transaction, it may be subject to the fluctuations of currency values. Exchange rates may also cause the value of underlying overseas investments to go up or down. Investments in emerging markets may involve a higher element of risk due political and economic instability and underdeveloped markets and systems. Investments in smaller companies may involve a higher degree of risk as markets are usually more sensitive to price movements. Concentrating investments in the greater China region subjects the Fund to more volatility and greater risk of loss than geographically diverse funds. The views expressed herein are not to be taken as advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any investment.
