</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">The Taiwan Stock Exchange Index (&#147;TAIEX&#148;) declined by 4.8% in U.S. dollar terms
in July. Both foreign investors and local institutions were net sellers and
sold NT$ 28.9&nbsp;billion and NT$ 584&nbsp;million, respectively. Proprietary traders
became net buyers and bought NT$ 3.1&nbsp;billion. On the economic front, Taiwan&#146;s
headline Consumer Price Index (&#147;CPI&#148;) grew by 0.8% in July due to the high
comparison base. In July, Taiwan&#146;s exports grew by 21.2% to US$ 19.6&nbsp;billion,
marking the highest monthly peak ever. Imports rose by 17.5% to US$ 17.8
billion, the second highest year-to-date. The result was a trade surplus of US$
1.8&nbsp;billion. This robust export demand in the traditional slow season
highlights Taiwan&#146;s strong export momentum in terms of value and growth. In
terms of sector performance, construction (-0.3%) and technology (-3.0%)
outperformed other sectors in July due to the healthy industry outlook and the
rebound for specific technology sectors. On the other hand, steel (-11.9%) and
automobile (-8.5%) were underperformers in July due to the weak end demand.
</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 1.7% in July. The Fund&#146;s overweight
position in the Thin-Film Transistor Liquid-Crystal Display (&#147;TFT-LCD&#148;) sector
and underweight position in the foundry sector contributed positively to
performance. The Fund&#146;s overweight positions in the printed circuit board
(&#147;PCB&#148;) substrate sector and underweight position in the petrochemical sector
negatively contributed to 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">In the short term, HSBC Investment (Taiwan) Limited (&#147;HSBC Taiwan&#148; or the
&#147;Adviser&#148;) expects that the market will continue to consolidate in the coming
few weeks due to increased supply of new shares from the free employee bonus
shares and a continuing unsettled political climate in Taiwan. As the
government may permit Chinese tourists to visit Taiwan in the future, domestic
demand, including property prices, tourism, hotel, and retail sales, could be
boosted. Because of both the slowness in the personal computer (&#147;PC&#148;) sector
during the second quarter and the fact that several companies&#146; sales figures
were lower than expected, HSBC Taiwan has doubts regarding the strength of the
technology sector in the first half of the third quarter. However, HSBC Taiwan
still has a positive outlook for the technology sector for the fourth quarter
of 2006, considering the year-end seasonal demand and the abundant liquidity in
the market.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In the long-term, HSBC Taiwan believes that the marketplace is currently at the
low end of the trading range, and HSBC Taiwan expects to see better results for
the market as it moves into the fourth quarter of 2006. Reasons for improved
results may include further improvement in Taiwan-China relations and a
stronger NT dollar, and improved technology product demand as 2006 moves into
the late third quarter-early fourth quarter peak season. On the liquidity
front, we believe that foreign liquidity may continue to flow into Taiwan for
the year-end rally.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In terms of a future investment strategy, the market is trading at reasonable
levels relative to its historical trading range. The market is trading at 2.1
price to book with an estimated 16% return on equity and a 4% dividend yield.
HSBC Taiwan plans to remain moderately aggressive in its investment strategy on
behalf of the Fund anticipating good earnings growth momentum in the technology
sector in the fourth quarter of 2006. The sectors expected to have better
momentum in the fourth quarter of 2006 include handset components, networking
and consumer electronics sectors. Additionally, since domestic demand has been
picking up, HSBC Taiwan has had an overweight position in property sector. For
cyclical industrial investments, HSBC Taiwan plans to remain underweight in the
petrochemical, paper and textile sectors based on the assumption of a downward
trend in these sectors in the coming year.
