Investment in equity and equity related securities in Russia is not expected to exceed twice the percentage weighting of Russian securities held by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the “Index”). The performance of the Sub-Fund’s portfolio of investments will be measured against the Index which is a free float-adjusted market capitalisation index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global emerging markets. The Investment Manager is, however, entitled at any time to change the Index where, for reasons outside the Investment Manager's control, the Index has been replaced by another index or where another index may reasonably be considered by the Investment Manager to have become the industry standard for the relevant exposure. A change in Index proposed by the Directors will be subject to shareholder approval and disclosure in a revised supplement for the Sub-Fund.

  • The Public's Interest in Telecom Reform
    THE PUBLIC'S INTEREST IN TELECOM REFORM: POST-REFORM PERFORMANCE OF THE MEXICAN TELECOM SECTOR DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lilia Judith Pérez Chavolla, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2002 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Susan Kline, Adviser ___________________________ Adviser Professor Rohan Samarajiva, Co-adviser School of Journalism and Communication Professor Robert Graniere ___________________________ Co-adviser School of Journalism and Communication Copyright by Lilia J. Pérez-Chavolla 2002 ABSTRACT This dissertation analyzes the public interest discourse that accompanies the implementation of telecommunication institutional reforms in developing countries. Whereas previous research has focused on interpretations of the public interest concept by policymakers, this dissertation addresses the point of view of consumers affected by such reforms. Telecom reforms are often accompanied by official discourse emphasizing benefits in price, quality of service, and access that consumers expect to receive; this dissertation analyzes the extent to which consumers consider that these expectations have been fulfilled. The importance of the consumers' interpretation of the public interest is also emphasized by the increased attention of regulatory agencies and public utility commissions worldwide to consumer protection and education in the new regulatory environment. The dissertation focuses on the case of Mexico, a country representative of the political, economic, and social challenges faced by nations with low and middle levels of telephone penetration. Using argumentation analysis, the study reconstructs the consumers' public interest argument about telecommunications reform in Mexico, based on a purposive sample of letters to the editor published in the nationally distributed Mexican newspaper El Financiero from 1991 to 2001.
