The fund invests in mainland China under the RQFII regime with RMB 900 million quota owned by Guosen Securities (Hong Kong) Financial Holdings Co., Ltd. As of 31 December 2012, the net asset value per share of the Fund was 100.44 (Class I), up 4.19% MoM and up 0.44% since launch. We have mainly invested in CBs, A-shares and money market funds since launch. The equity market in China rebounded strongly in December 2012. We liquidated most of the positions in A-shares and CBs to lock in profits at end of December 2012. Review and outlook of the Market China’s economy showed more signs of stabilization in the fourth quarter of 2012, with moderate cyclical uptrend ahead. However, we do not expect the inflation to rebound quickly because of the relatively weak demand recovery. We estimate the CPI in 2013 not higher than 3%. The PBoC has held the interest rates and RRR unchanged throughout 2H 2012. In our view, the interest rate down cycle has been over, but we still expect a moderate YoY increase of total bank loans in 2013. The pro-growth policy will remain to support the economy. Internationally, the fiscal cliff in US was avoided by the two parties in the last minute as expected, while the Euro zone debt crisis was eased recently. The stabilizing mechanisms including ESM will effectively lower the risk of disordered exit and systematic crisis. After the QE3 of Fed and OMT of ECB, the BOJ may further enlarge its balance sheet. The huge monetary easing of major currencies will provide the financial market with superfluous liquidity. The emerging markets including China will be under pressure of capital inflow again. As a whole, we expect China market to have relatively good performance in 2013. The equity market may continue to rebound and outperform the fixed income assets despite the volatility throughout the year.
