</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Market review:</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During the month of September, the Taiwan Stock Exchange Index (&#147;TAIEX&#148;) rose by 0.1% in U.S. dollar terms. Positive factors from the strong sales momentum in the
third quarter were offset by negative concerns, such as a possible economic slowdown caused by high oil prices and possible consumption slowdown in the United
States caused by rising interest rates. Local institutions were net buyers of NT$9.5&nbsp;billion, but foreign investors net sold NT$12&nbsp;billion as some foreign
investors unloaded Taiwan positions. Proprietary traders also remained net sellers and net sold NT$7.3&nbsp;billion. On the economic front, Taiwan&#146;s August leading
indicator (the latest announced figure) rebounded 0.9 to 108.2, which implied the economy may rebound in the coming months. M2 Money supply (a measure of
total money supply that includes circulating cash, savings and other time deposits) growth remained at 6.5% in August, with a year to date growth rate of 6.2%,
which is considered moderate for the equity market. Exports and imports in September grew by 8.5% and 9%, respectively, with a trade surplus of US$710&nbsp;million;
trade growth in Taiwan remained healthy. In terms of sector performance, the technology and steel sectors rose by 3.3% and 2.1%, respectively, while financial,
textile and shipping sectors declined by 1.2%, 3.3% and 3.9%, respectively.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Fund Performance Review:</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Fund outperformed its benchmark by 2.3% in September. An overweight position in the Integrated Circuit (&#147;IC&#148;) design and handset sectors contributed
positively. However, the positive contribution was partially offset by an overweight position in the TFT- LCD sector.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Investment Strategy:</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Considering the slowing demand from China and increasing supply from new capacities, cyclical sectors appear to have peaked and margins may contract and earnings
may decline in the coming few quarters. We are therefore underweight in the industrial cyclical sectors, including petrochemical, paper and textile. On the other
hand, many technology companies have demonstrated strong sales and earnings momentum in the months before the Christmas peak season. Those companies include
semiconductor foundry companies, notebook PC, IC design and handsets companies. Therefore, we expect that share prices of technology companies could perform well
in the coming two months. Assuming the good sales momentum and strong liquidity continues in the coming months, the market may have moderate upside before January
2006. We plan to remain overweight in the technology sector, especially IC design, handset and consumer electronics related shares, and to continue to be
underweight in industrial cyclical and financial shares. Our main focus will be technology stocks with good value and stable earnings growth in the fourth quarter
of 2005 and first half of 2006.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">*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.
