<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Portfolio Review</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Market overview and portfolio performance</B>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The Taiwan Stock Exchange Index (the &#147;TAIEX&#148;) gained slightly in September, it was up 1.6% month-over-month in U.S. dollar terms. In spite of concerns over
the skyrocketed oil prices, ample liquidity and seasonality were the two factors drawing investor interest in bargain hunting for large market capitalization
stocks. Foreign institutions, on the other hand, continued the consecutive fund inflows in September, in response to the positive sentiment backed by the
Morgan Stanley Capital International (&#147;MSCI&#148;) re-weighting changes to the Taiwan market. In terms of sector performance for the month of September, the two
best performing sectors were steel and textile, which gained 12% month-over-month and 11% month-over-month, respectively, followed by the financial sector,
which increased 5%. However, the lackluster technology outlook and slowdown in the end-market demand resulted in the technology sector dropping 2.6% in
September, reversing in part the 8% gain in August.
</DIV>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Market outlook and portfolio strategy</B>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Looking ahead, we anticipate that the Taiwan stock market will continue a consolidation trading range, with some potential upside before the Chinese New Year.
Our view is mainly based on the seasonal up-pick for the technology sector, healthy domestic demand and stronger-than-expected demand for the cyclical sectors.
Our portfolio strategy will be to continue to increase weighting in the domestic demand sectors and industrial cyclical shares for those stocks with stable
earnings in the coming quarters. In addition, we will continue to hold quality blue chips in downstream technology shares and continue to search for quality
small cap stocks with growth potential going forward. In the mid-term, we will reduce the weighting in cyclical growth if there is a rebound and move to more
defensive sectors.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">*Returns for the Fund are historical total returns that reflect changes in
net asset value per share during each period and assume that dividends and
capital gains, if any, were reinvested. Returns for the TAIEX are not total
returns and reflect only changes in share price but do not assume that cash
dividends, if any, were reinvested, and thus are not strictly comparable to
the Fund returns. Past performance is not indicative of future results of
the Fund. Returns are annualized, except for periods of less than one year
which are not annualized.
