Comment

In  the  twelve  months to 31st December, 2005, the Funds Net Asset  Value  per
share  in  US  dollars  fell  6.2%  to $36.59 as  calculated  using  mid  market
valuations.  Over  the  same  period,  the Kuala  Lumpur  Stock  Exchange  Index
expressed in US dollars fell 0.3%. The reasons for this are much the same as six
months  ago  when  I  last reported to Shareholders, and have  resulted  from  a
further  de-rating of smaller capitalisation stocks compared with  their  larger
counterparts.

Malaysias  economy grew steadily in 2005, expanding 5.3%. This  is  not  a  bad
outcome  during  a  time  of slight fiscal contraction,  although  it  may  feel
unsatisfactory to Malaysians compared with the 7.1% rate of growth in  2004.  In
2005  (and indeed for the last five years) the consumer has been generating much
of  the  impetus  behind  the  expansion, helped  more  recently  by  growth  in
electronics  exports  and  the  price  of oil.  Employment  and  interest  rates
(overnight policy rate) are steady and in low single digits.

Recent  portfolio  activity  has tended to increase the  proportion  of  smaller
companies in the Fund. This is where the better value is to be found, and it  is
also  where growth is stronger. Largely beneath the radar of most outsiders,  it
is noticeable that a number of Malaysian companies are buying back shares, and a
number  are  involved in mergers, so we are not alone in perceiving value  among
certain  share prices. It is interesting in this context that one of the  Funds
holdings,  Southern Bank, has recently been the subject of the first  aggressive
takeover bid that your Manager has seen in Malaysia.
