</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Market review:</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Taiwan Stock Exchange Index (&#147;TAIEX&#148;) rose by 1.7% in U.S. dollar terms in October.
Foreign investors were net buyers and bought NT$ 58.1&nbsp;billion. Both proprietary traders and local
institutions were net sellers and sold NT$ 645&nbsp;million and NT$ 2.7&nbsp;billion, respectively. On the
economic front, the seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate fell 0.01% to 3.84% in September. Real
regular wage rose for the second month. Taiwan export orders were US$26.6bn in September, a record
monthly high, but annual growth declined to 12%. Export orders are expected to grow in the fourth
quarter of 2006 due to: (1)&nbsp;NT dollar depreciation, which is enhancing Taiwan&#146;s export
competitiveness; (2)&nbsp;continued strong demand from China; and (3)&nbsp;the upcoming Christmas season.
Taiwan&#146;s Leading Index rebounded on improved financial indicators and stable non-financial
indicators in September. Economic signals turned positive. However, industrial production remained
weak, which weakened the Leading Index. In terms of sector performance, construction (&#043;11.1%) and
steel (&#043;6.7%) outperformed other sectors in October due to the appreciation of real estate and
healthy end demand. On the other hand, financial (&#043;0.1%) and technology (&#043;1.4%) sectors were
underperformers in October.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Fund Performance Review:</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Fund underperformed its benchmark by 1.8% in October. Overweight positions in the
solar sector and underweight positions in the financial sector contributed positively.
Overweight positions in the handset sector and Printed Circuit Board (&#147;PCB&#148;) substrate sector
negatively contributed to performance.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Investment Strategy:</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The TAIEX successfully broke through the 7,000-point mark as global stock markets continued to show
strength (for example, the Dow Jones topped 12,000 points) amid falling oil prices. Trading volume,
however, remains thin, preventing the TAIEX from moving up further. Long margin has recovered
slightly but it is still at fairly low levels, showing local money remains conservative. Sector
rotation has been so fast that it has become difficult for investors to consistently outperform the
market. Having performed strongly since September, traditional stocks (including China-concept,
steel, property, and asset-rich stocks) started to face profit-taking pressure in October as
valuations turned demanding. The infatuation with financial shares (triggered by Standard Charter&#146;s
move to acquire Hsinchu Commercial Bank at a high price) has also waned, due mainly to the
government&#146;s investigation into Chinatrust FHC. In the technology space, results for the third
quarter of 2006 and guidance for the fourth quarter of 2006 have been largely in line with or
slightly better than market expectation.
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">

 The Fund&#146;s adviser, HSBC Investments (Taiwan) Limited
(&#147;HSBC Taiwan&#148;), expects the TAIEX to consolidate in the near term due to uncertainty surrounding
the U.S. economy and a lack of new major products/applications to drive technology demand in the
fourth quarter of 2006. Also, non-technology shares have run up significantly in the past two
months. Downside, however, appears to be limited due to continuing-low valuations, stable
shareholding structure (low retail participation) and promising earnings outlook for next year.
Taiwan tops the list in Asia in terms of expected earnings growth and cash dividend yield in 2007.
Longer term, technology remains HSBC Taiwan&#146;s favorite sector due to the anticipated favorable
technology cycle in 2007-2008. HSBC Taiwan expects a more sustainable and significant pick-up in
technology shares from the fourth quarter of 2006. HSBC Taiwan is also positive on non-technology
stocks including those benefiting from falling raw material costs and/or continued strong demand
from China. In addition, HSBC Taiwan is researching certain deep-valued financial stocks that it
believes have bottomed out.
