</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">On the back of continuous foreign net buying and domestic participation, the Taiwan Stock Exchange Index (&#147;TAIEX&#148;) rose by 7.8% in U.S. dollar terms in
December. Despite net selling of NT$ 22.0&nbsp;billion by local institutions, foreign investors net bought NT$ 239&nbsp;billion (including a NT$ 120&nbsp;billion cross trade
for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (&#147;TSMC&#148;) between Philips Taiwan and Philips Netherlands). Proprietary traders were also net buyers and net
bought NT$ 15.0&nbsp;billion. On the economic front, Taiwan&#146;s exports disappointed in November, rising at 10.7% year on year (yoy), following a 16.6% gain in
October. Seasonally-adjusted, November exports fell moderately by 0.9% month on month, after a modest 0.3% decline in October. Despite the moderate easing in
Taiwan&#146;s export growth momentum in the past two months, fundamentals remain rather supportive of Taiwan&#146;s export outlook in the coming months given the on-going
solid growth momentum in global manufacturing and business spending. In terms of sector performance, construction (&#043;19.3%), tourism (&#043;12.4%) and technology
(&#043;7.8%) were outperformers based on the high expectation of further opening on cross-strait economic exchange and the strong technology industry outlook in the
first half of 2006. On the other hand, defensive sectors such as financials (&#043;0.7%), automobile (&#043;0.7%) and steel (&#043;0.6%) were underperformers in December.
</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 3.9% in December. The overweight position in the Printed Circuit Board (&#147;PCB&#148;) sector and handset sector
contributed positively. The overweight position in Thin-Film Transistor Liquid-Crystal Display (&#147;TFT-LCD&#148;) sector had negative contributions to the performance.
</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 positive earnings growth momentum in 2006, the current market valuation of around 12 times price to earnings ratio is attractive. Despite
the slow season in December and the first quarter of each year, many companies continue to deliver stronger than expected sales momentum and have enjoyed good
visibility for their orders. Contract DRAM prices rose by 3% to 5% in early January signalizing strong market demand. Issues such as politics and the new tax
package and currency effect are considered insignificant, when technology growth momentum has been strong. After the year-end rally, we plan to remain
moderately aggressive in our investment strategy considering the good earnings growth momentum of the technology sector in 2006, especially the packaging, IC
design and handset sectors. These sectors may benefit from strong global consumer products demand for laptops, handsets, LCD TVs, MP3 players and game
consoles. However, considering the rich valuation of some stocks, we may gradually reduce some of the over-valued stocks and add positions in some laggards in
the coming weeks. We plan to remain underweight the industrial cyclical sectors, such as steel, petrochemical, paper and textile, based on the assumption of a
downtrend of these sectors in the coming year. The earnings of the industrial cyclical sectors are forecast to be negative in 2006.

    <TD>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.</TD>
