Notes to Portfolio of Investments (Unaudited)
Securities Valuation: Investments are stated at value. Securities for which the primary market is on an exchange are valued at the last sale price on such exchange or market on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale on such day, at the last bid price quoted on such day. Securities for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, or whose value have been affected by events occurring after the close of the securitys foreign market and before the Funds normal pricing time, are valued at the fair value in accordance with the Board of Directors approved fair valuation procedures. When determining the fair valuation of securities some of the factors influencing the valuation include the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuers financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst, media or other reports or information regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates; other analytical data; and consistency with valuation of similar securities held by other funds managed by Baring Asset Management (Asia) Limited. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a securitys most recent closing price and from the price used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
Investments in mutual funds are valued at the net asset value on the date the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.
Short-term securities which mature in more than 60 days are valued at current market quotations. Short-term securities which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost.
Market values of investments traded in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rates of exchange.
Other information regarding the Fund is available in the Funds most recent Annual and Semi-Annual Reports to Shareholders. This information is available on the Securities and Exchange Commissions website (www.sec.gov).
