Fund OverviewThe Fund aims to generate positive returns over a three to five year period, prior to exchange rate effects, by constructing a portfolio of securities which provides exposure to the Asia (ex-Japan) region.

The Fund is managed by Value Partners using a disciplined value-oriented approach supported by intensive, on-the-ground bottom-up fundamental research resulting in a portfolio of individual holdings, which are, in the view of Value Partners, undervalued and of high quality, on either an absolute or relative basis, and which have the potential for capital appreciation.

The Fund will primarily have exposure to the equity securities of entities listed on securities exchanges across the Asia (ex-Japan) region, however, the Fund may also gain exposure to entities listed on securities outside the Asia (ex-Japan) region which have significant assets, investments, production activities, trading or other business interests in the Asia (ex-Japan) region as well as unlisted instruments with equity-like characteristics, such as participatory notes and convertible bonds.

The Fund may also invest in cash and money market instruments, depositary receipts, listed unit trusts, shares in mutual fund corporations and other collective investment schemes (including real estate investment trusts), derivatives including both exchange-traded and OTC, convertible securities, participatory notes, bonds, and foreign exchange contracts.
Manager CommentsThe Premium Asia Fund returned +3.05% in June, a difference of +0.27% compared with the Asia Pacific ex-Japan index, which rose by +2.78%. Over the past 12 months the fund has returned +46.17%, compared with the index, which returned +28.14%, for a difference of +18.03%. Since inception in December, 2009, the fund has returned +13.28% per annum, a difference of +6.27% vs the index which has returned +7.01% over the same period.

Over the past 12 months, the fund's volatility has been 7.56% compared with the index's volatility of 5.8%. Since inception the fund's volatility has been 12.73% vs the index's volatility of 10.07%.

The fund has a down-capture ratio of 3.86% since inception, and ranging between 19.08% (3 years) and -65.46% (12 months). A negative down-capture ratio indicates that, on average, the fund has risen during the market's negative months.
