Aberdeen American Opportunities FundInterim report to 31 March 2013

Performance reviewThe Aberdeen American Opportunities Fund rose by 10.79% in Singapore dollar terms over the six-month period ended 31 March 2013, compared with the 10.94% return of its benchmark, the MSCI North America Index.

Market reviewNorth American equities posted sharp gains during the review period, amid the release of generally positive US economic data reports and with the support of continued accommodative monetary policy. In the first half of the period, investors reacted mainly to the ebb and flow of the latest developments in the “fiscal cliff” negotiations. Congress finally reached a compromise after the New Year deadline, focusing on taxation of the wealthy and the decision to delay spending cuts for two months. However, the mandate for decreases in the federal budget under “sequestration” took effect on 1 March, triggering US$85 billion in automatic spending cuts. On the economic front, the unemployment rate improved modestly during the review period, although job gains remain below the level needed to support steady economic growth over the long term. GDP growth, while improving somewhat, generally has remained below its historical levels.

Portfolio reviewFund performance for the period was bolstered primarily by holdings in packaged foods maker Kellogg and automobile insurance claims software company Solera Holdings, as well as the lack of exposure to Apple. Kellogg’s positive results during the period were due mainly to relative strength in North America and Latin America. Solera Holdings saw healthy revenue growth for the first half of its 2013 fiscal year.

Conversely, the most notable detractors from fund performance included enterprise technology company EMC Corp and healthcare diagnostic services provider Quest Diagnostics. Shares of EMC fell after the company reported a deceleration in sales for its VMWare business segment; however we believe that weakness is likely to prove temporary and that the long-term outlook remains positive. Quest Diagnostics’ earnings declined modestly, dragged down by pricing weakness and relatively lower volumes due to the negative impact of Superstorm Sandy, which struck the northeastern US in late October 2012.

In portfolio activity, we introduced pharmaceutical firm Pfizer and discount retailer Costco Wholesale Corp. We also added to Kraft Foods Group, the now fully domestic food company, after the predecessor company Kraft Foods was divided into two companies. Conversely, we sold Mondelez International, the other company created by the Kraft Foods split, medical device manufacturer St. Jude Medical, and institutional investor services provider State Street Corp. We reduced several holdings following periods of relatively strong performance, including Kellogg, Solera Holdings, and media and cable company Comcast.

Aberdeen Asian Local Currency Short Duration Bond FundInterim report to 31 March 2013

Performance ReviewThe Aberdeen Asian Local Currency Short Duration Bond Fund rose by 2.33% in Singapore dollar terms during the period. This compares with a total return of the benchmark, the iBoxx Asia ex Japan Sovereign 1-3 Years Index, of 2.67%.

Market ReviewShort-dated bonds in most Asian markets rose over the six months under review. While the sluggish global backdrop was compounded by the US budget uncertainty and Eurozone debt crisis, this was mitigated by quantitative easing in the West and signs of improvement in the US and Chinese economies. But sentiment deteriorated towards the end of the period, as automatic US spending cuts loomed. The Eurozone recession caused a slump in Asia’s exports, while Cyprus’ banking woes added to contagion fears.

Indonesia and India outperformed the region, as their higher-yielding markets attracted foreign capital. The Thai market was supported by fundamentals, while Korean bonds also posted gains on the back of expectations of monetary policy easing, as economic conditions remained sluggish. In contrast, onshore Chinese short-dated bonds lagged as most data appeared to indicate a recovery in the economy.

Most regional currencies weakened against the dollar, led by the rupee, which lagged on the back of GDP growth concerns and a record trade deficit. However, the baht outperformed, while the Philippine peso also posted gains.

Portfolio ReviewIn interest rate strategy, the overweight and longer-than-benchmark duration positions in the Philippines contributed the most to relative return. Also boosting performance was the overweight to Thailand and Malaysia. In our currency allocation, the underweight to the onshore yuan and baht as well as overweight to the ringgit detracted from performance.

The fund continues to maintain its overweight to higher-yielding assets. In portfolio activity, we added to our Indian bond and currency exposure, in view of currency weakness and expectations of further easing. We also increased our exposure to the Philippines, which offers better returns on a hedged basis, and our short duration position and exposure to Korea, as interest rate cuts were increasingly priced into valuations. Conversely, we trimmed our exposure to Indonesia because of valuation, inflation and currency concerns. Post a sharp rally in Thai bonds in November, we took profit and cut our sizeable overweight substantially. Subsequently, we reduced our short duration position there. With respect to currency allocations, we lowered our rupiah and ringgit exposure. We also moved to a small underweight to the baht and increased our exposure to the peso and won.

Aberdeen Asian Smaller Companies FundInterim report to 31 March 2013

Performance ReviewThe Aberdeen Asian Smaller Companies Fund rose by 18.09% in Singapore dollar terms over the review period. This compares with a total return of its benchmark, the MSCI AC Asia Pacific ex Japan Small Cap Index, of 12.77%.

Market ReviewSmall-cap stocks rose in the six months under review, outperforming their larger counterparts. Ultra-loose monetary policy in Europe and the US fuelled a rebound in global financial markets that lifted Asian stockmarkets as well. Sentiment was also boosted by US president Obama’s re-election and hopes that automatic tax hikes and spending cuts, dubbed the “fiscal cliff”, could be averted by the turn of the year. This was despite a stream of lacklustre data, as macroeconomic fundamentals remained largely unchanged. In particular, Asian exports were hampered by anaemic demand from Europe, which has stayed in recession, while the US showed tentative signs of recovery. Towards the end of the period, the badly handled Cyprus bank bailout re-ignited contagion fears and briefly dragged market benchmarks to a seven-month low. Concerns over the profitability of Chinese banks in the wake of more stringent rules on investment products also pared gains.

Portfolio ReviewAt the stock level, contributors to relative performance included Petra Foods, which saw its stock price jump after it sold its cocoa ingredients unit to Switzerland-based Barry Callebaut for US$950 million earlier in the period. This sale was expected to realise significant value for Petra and allow it to grow its high-margin branded consumer business in emerging markets. Also benefiting the fund was our holding in Thailand’s Minor International, as its shares were buoyed by the rising stockmarket, a rebound in earnings after last year’s floods, and an upbeat outlook for its hotels and food businesses.

Conversely, holding ASM International proved costly as its shares fell on the back of news that it will pare its stake in ASM Pacific Technology to unlock value. However, we believe its share price does not reflect its underlying businesses fully, which management is determined to turn around. Also detracting from performance was Cabcharge Australia, which saw its share price retreat after it lost two of its bus routes in Sydney, and MP Evans, which faced lower palm oil prices amid high inventories.

In portfolio activity, we introduced three holdings. They included attractively valued SCA Property Group, a real estate investment trust that owns Woolworths Group’s retail assets. The other two new additions were Ascendas Hospitality Trust, which offers good yield, supported by both its Australian operations and growth opportunities in China; as well as leading Malaysian property developer SP Setia via a placement, given its healthy pipeline of projects and significant discount to net asset value.

Separately, Aberdeen will swap each share it holds in WBL Corp for 1.07 shares in its parent, The Straits Trading Company (STC). Separately, STC will partner the Far East Organization to streamline its hospitality business in the region.

Aberdeen China Opportunities FundInterim report to 31 March 2013

Performance ReviewThe Aberdeen China Opportunities Fund rose by 10.13% in Singapore dollar terms over the review period. This compares with a total return of its benchmark, the MSCI Zhong Hua Index, of 9.52%.

Market Review The MSCI Zhong Hua Index posted healthy gains over the six months under review, largely in line with the broader regional index. Optimism over the resilience of China’s economy lifted the stockmarket, along with Beijing’s urbanisation push. Data on the economic front pointed to signs of stabilisation. China’s fourth-quarter GDP grew by 7.9% from a year earlier, underpinned by a rebound in industrial output, retail sales and the housing sector. The manufacturing sector also returned to growth. The improvements, however, were largely a result of loose monetary policy and a ramp-up in infrastructure spending, particularly in rail and highway construction. The government maintained its GDP growth target at 7.5% for 2013 and raised its budget deficit forecast in view of tax cuts and measures to support consumption and narrow the wealth gap. But towards the end of the period, gains were pared by anxieties over increased tightening measures for the property sector in both China and Hong Kong. Concerns surrounding shadow banking and the government’s tougher stance towards it also weighed on the stockmarket. On the political front, the Chinese Communist party unveiled its new leadership headed by Xi Jinping. The transition stoked hopes of economic reforms, though it is too early to talk of substantive policy changes.

Portfolio Review At the stock level, Hongkong & Shanghai Hotels was the top contributor, boosted by increased tourist arrivals. Textile maker Texwinca Holdings’ shares gained as China’s cotton prices appeared to stabilise and sentiment towards cyclical exports improved. Jardine Strategic benefited from solid full-year results, driven by good operating performance in its core markets.

Conversely, holdings such as ASM Pacific Technology, China Resources Enterprise (CRE) and Li & Fung subtracted from relative return, owing to weak full-year results. ASM Pacific’s revenues fell amid the challenging global market backdrop. However, the company continues to be underpinned by a robust balance sheet. CRE suffered from rising costs and increasing competition in the retailer segment, while Li & Fung was affected by its restructuring efforts in the US. However, management is determined to turn around its distribution business there.

In portfolio activity, we introduced Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing via a primary share placement that was at an attractive discount to its market price. We also initiated a position in Yum Brands, the owner of global brands such as KFC and Pizza Hut. Its China business has grown rapidly, backed by good management as well as a robust operational process. Against this, we exited Sun Hung Kai Properties on corporate governance concerns and following a rebound in its share price.

Aberdeen Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond FundInterim report to 31 March 2013

Performance ReviewThe Aberdeen Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund rose by 3.47% in Singapore dollar terms during the period. This compares with a total return of its benchmark, the JP Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Index, of 5.19%.

Market ReviewEmerging market debt markets posted modest gains in the six months under review. This was despite declining risk appetite after an inconclusive Italian parliamentary election result and a bailout for Cyprus in March.

Developments in key markets included Brazil’s central bank seeking to contain inflation towards end-October despite reducing the benchmark Selic rate by 25 basis points. Subsequently, policymakers ushered in a “lower for longer” period, noting that stable monetary conditions would be the right strategy to meet its inflation target. Towards the end of the period, the finance minister indicated that the Brazilian real had stabilised at a favourable level that had maintained its external competitiveness and did not induce inflation.

Elsewhere, China’s politburo held a major conference in mid-December that set the course of the new leadership. The government committed to a proactive fiscal policy and prudent monetary policy, while continuing with property controls. Economic growth remained resilient, as the economy grew by 7.9% year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2012.

In India, the central bank cut its repo rate by 25 basis points to 7.75%, in addition to cuts to the cash reserve ratio. It lowered its fiscal year growth estimate to 5.5% year-on-year from 5.8% previously and wholesale inflation to 6.8% from 7.5%.

Portfolio ReviewAn underweight to Thailand detracted from performance, whereas a non-benchmark position in inflation-linked bonds in Uruguay and an underweight to Poland contributed positively.

In portfolio activity, we initially increased duration in South African bonds before taking profits through the new year and lifted our South African rand exposure to 2% overweight compared to the benchmark. In Mexico, we moved to the middle of the curve, while also reducing our Mexican peso exposure from 5% to 4% overweight. In Eastern Europe, we increased duration in Poland and Russia as well as lowered our Polish zloty exposure to neutral. We also reduced the fund’s underweight to Turkey by adding inflation-linked bonds. As for our currency positions, we lowered the fund’s Brazilian real exposure to neutral compared to the benchmark, and reduced our underweight to Colombia by initiating a 2% position in the peso. We also moved to a 1% underweight to the Russian rouble.

Aberdeen European Opportunities FundInterim report to 31 March 2013

Performance ReviewThe Aberdeen European Opportunities Fund rose 12.46% in Singapore dollar terms. This compares with a total return of its benchmark, the FTSE World - Europe Index, of 11.54%.

Market ReviewPan European equities rose during the six months under review as markets remained flush with liquidity stemming from European and US central banks’ ongoing efforts to revive the global economy. Sentiment was also lifted by the temporary resolution to America’s budget problems and new powers given to the European Central Bank over the financial system. However, gains were pared by the badly handled bailout for Cyprus and political stalemate in Italy, which signalled that the Continent’s debt crisis was far from resolved. Under rescue terms, Cyprus’s second-largest bank will be forced to shut while a levy will be imposed on big depositors. As for Italy, after six weeks a government had yet to be formed after recent inconclusive parliamentary elections. Disappointing fourth-quarter GDP data, underscoring a deepening Eurozone recession, also hurt confidence. The UK economy contracted as well, prompting the government to announce additional tax cuts in its new Budget to boost growth.

Portfolio reviewAt the stock level, our holdings in Schroders, Rolls-Royce and Prudential contributed the most to relative return. Asset manager Schroders reported robust full-year results as assets under management rose to a record. Engine maker Rolls-Royce continued to win new contracts. Prudential announced impressive earnings, with new business growing by 14% for the year. The insurer continued to make inroads into Asia, after entering into a long-term distribution partnership with Acleda, Cambodia’s largest retail and commercial bank.

On the flip side, our positions in Amec, Pearson and BG Group detracted. Despite good revenues in the oil and gas sector, engineering and consultancy firm Amec’s shares corrected after a solid run in the previous six months. Media company Pearson’s annual profits were hurt by tough trading conditions and structural changes in the industry. Oil and gas producer BG Group was weighed down by lower profits and project delays.

In portfolio activity, we introduced defence company Kongsberg Gruppen given the resilience of its niche products, healthy long-term prospects and attractive valuation. In addition, we added to Amec, Pearson and diversified utility GDF Suez on the back of share price weakness. Against this, we trimmed positions in several holdings, including Prudential, Rolls-Royce, food conglomerate Nestle, British American Tobacco, Associated British Foods, as well as drugmakers Roche and Novo Nordisk, following relative price strength.

Aberdeen Global Emerging Markets FundInterim report to 31 March 2013

Performance ReviewThe Aberdeen Global Emerging Markets Fund rose by 7.32% in Singapore dollar terms, outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which gained 5.13%.

Market ReviewEmerging stockmarkets rose over the six months under review. Early on, an improving global backdrop buoyed sentiment. Tension in the Eurozone eased after a landmark deal on bank supervision was reached and long-delayed aid to Greece was approved. In the US, the Federal Reserve unveiled a third round of quantitative easing and pledged to keep interest rates low at least until unemployment, now close to 8%, falls to 6.5%. Initial optimism that budget negotiations could be resolved after president Obama’s re-election provided further impetus to markets. However, the rally subsequently faltered as investors fretted over the impact of scheduled budget cuts on the economy. Decelerating growth across the developing world added to uncertainty. Continued policy tightening in China also raised fears that the economy will slow further, while Cyprus’s banking crisis and political uncertainty in Italy following an inconclusive election reignited fears over Europe’s debt woes.

Portfolio Review At the stock level, our holdings in Mexico were among the top contributors to relative return. Lender Banorte continued to outperform on the back of double-digit deposit and loan growth and FEMSA’s core Coca-Cola bottling business and convenience store subsidiary both performed well. Leading Turkish banks Akbank and Garanti rose in line with the strong local market.

Against this, a softer outlook for local consumer demand weighed on South African retailer Truworths. Hero MotoCorp lagged as the Indian motorcycle maker’s results disappointed amid increased competition, elevated costs and falling margins. Nevertheless, it achieved higher selling prices and decent sales. Lacklustre earnings and domestic economic concerns hurt Hungarian pharmaceutical firm Gedeon Richter. In portfolio activity, we initiated a position in leading Russian grocery chain Magnit given its attractive valuation and good fundamentals. Conversely, we exited Indian mobile phone operator Bharti Airtel on concerns over the increasingly competitive domestic market.

Aberdeen Global Opportunities FundInterim report to 31 March 2013

Performance ReviewThe Aberdeen Global Opportunities Fund rose by 8.71% in Singapore dollar terms, compared with its benchmark, the MSCI World Index’s total return of 11.96%.

Market ReviewGlobal equities rallied significantly during the six months under review. Following risk aversion in the second quarter of 2012, equity markets were lifted by coordinated monetary policy. This was further boosted as Japanese policymakers explicitly targeted an inflation rate of 2%. The US presidential election and China’s leadership change proceeded smoothly, further supporting risk appetite. In addition, the US taxation agreement reached at the turn of the year provided more clarity on US fiscal issues. But towards the end of the period, political gridlock resulting from an inconclusive Italian election and the bailout for Cyprus, which would entail losses for larger depositors, caused volatility to re-emerge.

Portfolio Review Top stock contributors to relative performance included Swiss drugmaker Roche and Mexican convenience store operator and beverage operator Femsa. Roche’s share price was lifted by news that it received US regulatory approval for its breast cancer therapy and colorectal cancer drug Avastin. Femsa’s core Coca-Cola bottling business and convenience store subsidiary performed well, thanks to buoyant consumer demand. Optimism that the government would be able to advance key reforms to drive future economic growth also lifted the company’s share price. The lack of exposure to Apple also benefited the fund as the US technology company’s stock fell amid increasing competitive pressures. It reported a sharp slowdown in sales and indicated that the trend may continue.

Conversely, the main stock detractors were Brazilian energy group Petrobras, Japan’s Daito Trust Construction and Canadian fertiliser producer Potash Corp. Uncertainty over government price setting weighed on Petrobras, while Daito Trust’s fourth-quarter margins suffered from higher labour costs. Potash Corp’s share price retreated after its first-quarter earnings forecast disappointed; it also reported additional output cuts.

In portfolio activity, we introduced several US companies including energy group Chevron, a well-managed integrated oil business with a solid asset base and stable growth driven by its upstream operations; industrial gas company Praxair, which enjoys strong pricing and high barriers to entry, with long-term contracts affording decent visibility; and health care equipment supplier Baxter International, which has a solid balance sheet and healthy cash flow. Against this, we divested US food manufacturer Kraft Foods as valuations appeared expensive and the outlook more lacklustre after it spun off its snack food business Mondelez.

Aberdeen Global Technology FundInterim report to 31 March 2013

Performance ReviewThe Aberdeen Global Technology Fund gained 6.53% in Singapore dollar terms, underperforming its benchmark, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Technology 100 Index, which rose by 15.56%.

Market ReviewTechnology shares rallied during the six months under review and outperformed the global stockmarkets. Collective monetary easing by major central banks and better-than-expected earnings from industry majors lifted investor sentiment. Signs of improvement in the global economy, along with the temporary resolution to the US budget negotiations, provided further impetus to markets. However, a subsequent return to risk aversion pared gains. Investors fretted over the impact of scheduled budget cuts on the US economy, while a deepening slowdown in the rest of the developed world revived global growth concerns. The banking crisis in Cyprus and political instability in Italy also served as a reminder that Europe’s debt crisis was far from over.

Portfolio Review At the stock level, our holdings in Ericsson and Adobe Systems contributed to relative return. Ericsson’s annual sales and profits grew faster than expected as robust demand from North America lifted its global sales of network equipment, software and services. Likewise, Adobe gained from better earnings and revenue growth; the company is switching from a subscription to licencing model to generate steady income. The lack of exposure to Apple, Terada Corp and Baidu.com also aided relative performance as these stocks underperformed the broader market.

On the flip side, EMC, ASM Pacific and Vodafone Group hurt the fund’s performance. Shares of EMC fell after the company reported a deceleration in sales for its VMWare business segment; however we believe that weakness is likely to prove temporary and the long-term outlook remains positive. ASM Pacific’s assembly and packaging unit saw a drop in revenue, owing to the sharp fall in the global semiconductor material and equipment markets from the third quarter of last year. But orders are recovering, and its surface-mount technology and lead frame businesses remained steady. Vodafone declined as Europe’s economic downturn weighed on its core regional market.

There was no significant portfolio activity over the period.

Aberdeen India Opportunities FundInterim report to 31 March 2013

Performance reviewThe Aberdeen India Opportunities Fund rose by 1.66% in Singapore dollar terms over the six months under review. This compares with a total return of the benchmark, the MSCI India Index, of -0.97%.

Market reviewDespite the government’s reform push, Indian equities fell during the six months under review as sentiment was weighed down by slowing GDP growth, the twin current account and fiscal deficits, and persistently high inflation. Renewed political risks, underscored by the withdrawal of support from key allies for the ruling coalition, also hurt confidence. However, losses were pared by the government’s efforts to encourage fresh investments, such as opening up the multi-brand retail, insurance, pension funds and banking sectors. Other measures included amending the Land Acquisition Bill to expedite industrial development and setting up a committee to cut through red tape in infrastructure investments. Delhi also committed to strengthening public finances by selling stakes in state-run companies and raising diesel prices. Separately, the central bank cut interest rates twice in attempts to revive growth. Portfolio review At the stock level, our holding in Tata Consultancy Services was the biggest contributor to relative return as the IT services provider’s healthy results were buttressed by its UK and American clients, which compensated for relatively soft European demand. Piramal Enterprises also aided performance as its shares rallied on the back of further acquisitions. Not holding Reliance Industries proved positive as the company’s refining and petrochemicals businesses continued to struggle.

Conversely, our holdings in Hero MotoCorp, ABB and Grasim Industries detracted. Hero’s results disappointed amid increased competition, elevated costs and falling margins. Nevertheless, the motorcycle maker achieved higher selling prices and healthy sales. Power engineering company ABB’s earnings deteriorated amid a tough operating environment. Credit quality issues in the sector have made the company more cautious about accepting new orders. Meanwhile, cement maker Grasim’s stock price corrected after a good run in the previous six months.

In portfolio activity, we introduced cement manufacturer ACC, which trades at a discount to its peers and has potential to improve productivity as it upgrades existing plants and introduces new capacity. It is owned by Swiss company Holcim, which controls ACC’s board and provides technical and managerial support.

Aberdeen Indonesia Equity FundInterim report to 31 March 2013

Performance ReviewThe Aberdeen Indonesia Equity Fund rose by 12.06% in Singapore dollar terms over the period, compared with a rise in its benchmark, the Jakarta Composite Index, of 15.94%.

Market ReviewIndonesian equities rose in the six months under review, buoyed by foreign interest that lifted local market benchmarks to new highs. Initially, record foreign direct investment inflows boosted sentiment, along with positive economic data from the US and China. However, US fiscal cliff concerns pared gains towards the year-end. Sentiment recovered at the period end, with domestic interest compensating for an ebb in foreign liquidity. The local economy grew 6.1% in the fourth quarter, supported by consumer spending, although the fiscal deficit worsened because of burgeoning fuel subsidies. Rains disrupted food production and Jakarta suffered severe flooding, but our holdings escaped direct damage. Inflation in March was at its worst since May 2011, due largely to a spike in food prices and the hike in electricity tariff but the central bank held interest rates unchanged.

Portfolio ReviewAt the stock level, our holding in Petra Foods contributed to relative performance, as its stock price jumped after it sold its cocoa ingredients unit to Switzerland-based Barry Callebaut for US$950 million. This is expected to realise significant value for Petra and allow it to grow its high-margin branded consumer business in emerging markets. Multi-Bintang also benefited the fund as the brewer did well on the back of good quarterly results that highlighted continued growth in its flagship Bintang Beer, in addition to the particularly strong growth in its non-alcoholic Bintang Zero product.

In contrast, Bank Central Asia detracted even though it did well. This was due to our underweight position to the lender, which rallied in tandem with the market’s rise that benefited large-cap stocks in general. Meanwhile, our non-benchmark exposure to Vale Indonesia also proved costly as its shares were affected by weaker commodity prices over the period.

In portfolio activity, we initiated a position in Petra Foods after the company sold its cocoa ingredients unit, which should allow it to grow its high-margin consumer business in emerging markets. We also introduced United Tractors, a subsidiary of Astra International, which is the distributor for Komatsu heavy equipment and is a leading coal-mining operator and local mine owner.

Aberdeen Japan Equity FundInterim report to 31 March 2013

Performance ReviewThe Aberdeen Japan Equity Fund rose by 17.69% in Singapore dollar terms over the review period. This compares with a total return of its benchmark, the Topix Index, of 18.65%.

Market ReviewJapan’s resurgence was driven in part by yen weakness, which lifted the export sector, as well as by expectations, triggered by the Liberal Democrats’ emphatic return to power, led by Shinzo Abe. His campaign platform of aggressive policy expansion and a commitment to lift the economy from two decades of deflation fired the imagination of foreign investors. However, it is worth noting that ultra-loose monetary policy in Europe and the US had fuelled a rebound in global financial markets that lifted stockmarkets in the Asian region as well. Sentiment was also boosted by US president Obama’s re-election and hopes that automatic tax hikes and spending cuts, dubbed the “fiscal cliff”, could be averted by the turn of the year. This was despite a stream of lacklustre data, as macro-economic fundamentals remained mostly unchanged.

Portfolio ReviewAt the stock level, Pigeon Corp was among the contributors to the fund’s performance as the baby products maker posted solid full-year earnings that were boosted by growing sales in China. Also benefiting the fund was FCC Co, where improving sales in the auto manufacturer’s two- and four-wheel divisions were driven by good US demand. Holding real estate developer Mitsubishi Estate Co aided performance as it reported better rental rates and revealed that it expected record revenue from its retail space, while focusing on better rents at its core Marunouchi office asset, instead of trying to fill vacancies.

Conversely, developer Daito Trust Construction Co cost the fund as the leasing company saw marginally weaker occupancy amid higher labour costs. Fanuc detracted after it lowered its forecast as it faced weaker results, a deteriorating product mix and anaemic demand from key customer Apple Inc. Fast-food chain McDonalds Holdings also proved costly as it reported a weaker set of results that were within our expectations, as the company overhauls its marketing strategy and re-evaluates its store portfolio.

In portfolio activity, we introduced Kansai Paint, one of the largest paint manufacturers in Asia. The company is well-positioned to benefit from growth in emerging markets, such as India, Thailand and Indonesia, where it has significant operations. We also initiated a position in bicycle component maker Shimano, which has 70% global market share. The company’s long-term prospects are positive, given its pricing power, well-established brand, production scale and expertise. Against this, we sold all our remaining Parco shares which were not accepted in J. Front Retailing’s earlier tender offer.

Aberdeen Malaysian Equity FundInterim report to 31 March 2013

Performance ReviewThe Aberdeen Malaysian Equity Fund rose by 10.43% in Singapore dollar terms in the period under review. This compares with a total return of its benchmark, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI, of 3.08%.

Market reviewMalaysian equities rose in the six months under review, as liquidity from the global easing by major central banks continued to buoy financial markets. Risk appetite was initially supported by signs of improvement in the global economy. Volatility, however, resurfaced on the back of fresh Eurozone worries and concerns over US budget cuts. Domestically, nervousness over the upcoming general elections also dented sentiment, but this failed to negate earlier gains. On the economic front, fourth-quarter GDP grew by 5.6%, despite the challenging global backdrop. During the review period, the central bank continued to keep rates unchanged at 3%, even though inflation rose on the back of higher food prices.

Portfolio reviewAt the stock level, Aeon Co, Oriental Holdings and Tasek Corp were key contributors to relative performance. Retailer Aeon Co benefited from contributions from new stores, higher rents and the re-opening of Aeon 1 Utama, although increased operating costs pared gains. Oriental Holdings did well despite muted results, as its dominant position in the motorcycle industry was reinforced by its relocation to a larger plant in Batu Kawan. Tasek, a beneficiary of the rising construction activity in the country, also outpaced the benchmark despite a competitive environment and elevated costs. The cement company declared a higher dividend for 2012.

Conversely, Star Publications and Public Bank underperformed. Media company Star Publications was weighed down by a challenging print industry and increased competition. Public bank also lagged, although the lender has maintained good asset quality and cost efficiency.

In portfolio activity, we introduced telecommunications provider Time dotCom into the portfolio, for its exposure to the growing demand for data. We also re-introduced SP Setia at attractive valuations. The developer reported higher revenue year-on-year on higher recognition from Klang Valley and Johor Bahru projects. Sales appear on track to meet its full-year target of RM5.5 billion, having chalked up RM1.2 billion in the first three months of its financial year.

Aberdeen Pacific Equity FundInterim report to 31 March 2013

Performance ReviewThe Aberdeen Pacific Equity Fund rose by 9.18% in Singapore dollar terms over the review period. This compares with a total return of its benchmark, the MSCI AC Asia Pacific ex Japan Index, of 9.36%.

Market ReviewMost Asian stockmarkets rose in the six months under review, along with the rebound in global financial markets, buoyed by ultra-loose monetary policy in Europe and the US. Sentiment was also boosted by US president Obama’s re-election and hopes that automatic tax hikes and spending cuts, dubbed the “fiscal cliff”, could be averted by the turn of the year. This was despite a stream of lacklustre data, as macro-economic fundamentals remained largely unchanged. In particular, Asian exports were hampered by anaemic demand from Europe as the Continent stayed in recession, while the US showed tentative signs of recovery. Towards the end of the period, the badly handled Cyprus bank bailout re-ignited contagion fears and dragged market benchmarks to a seven-month low. Concerns over the profitability of Chinese banks in the wake of more stringent rules on investment products also pared gains.

Portfolio ReviewAt the stock level, holding the Aberdeen Thailand Equity Fund proved beneficial as it was buoyed by rising stockmarkets. Also helping performance were our two Philippine holdings, which rose in tandem with the strong domestic market. Property developer Ayala Land posted record annual results, while the Bank of the Philippine Islands’ fourth-quarter earnings were driven by double-digit loan growth and non-interest income.

Conversely, holding the Aberdeen Global – Indian Equity Fund* detracted as the Indian market lagged the broader region because of disappointing economic growth. Our lack of exposure to Australian banks, including the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Westpac Banking Corp, proved costly as they benefitted from global search for yield. However, we prefer our existing bank holdings as they provide greater exposure to faster growing economies across the broader region.

In portfolio activity, we added to Australia’s QBE Insurance on recent price weakness. The insurer lowered its profit guidance because of higher-than-expected catastrophe claims, including those resulting from superstorm Sandy.

*The underlying fund is not authorised for public sale in Singapore.

Aberdeen Singapore Equity FundInterim report to 31 March 2013

Performance ReviewThe Aberdeen Singapore Equity fund rose by 8.99% in Singapore dollar terms. This compares with a total return of the benchmark, the FTSE Straits Times Index, of 8.81%.

Market ReviewSingapore equities rose during the six months under review, as liquidity from the global easing by major central banks continued to buoy financial markets. Risk appetite was initially supported by signs of improvement in the global economy. An eleventh-hour compromise by US lawmakers also averted a fiscal cliff, while China’s data signalled a more sustained recovery. Volatility, however, resurfaced on the back of fresh Eurozone worries and concerns over US budget cuts. The inconclusive Italian election and Cyprus’ banking woes also caused jitters towards the end of the period, but this failed to outweigh earlier gains. Meanwhile, domestic economic data remained hampered by sluggish external demand. While fourth-quarter GDP growth was upgraded to 3.3%, more recent data were less upbeat. Non-oil domestic exports fell sharply in February, as electronics and non-electronics shipments suffered double-digit declines. Inflation accelerated more than expected, driven by higher housing and transport costs. The central bank maintained its policy of allowing a modest and gradual appreciation of the local currency.

Portfolio ReviewAt the stock level, Bukit Sembawang Estates added the most, as property prices remained firm despite the government’s cooling measures. Encouragingly, the property developer also shored up its balance sheet. Raffles Medical also contributed positively on the back of steady earnings growth from its core operations.

Although the fund benefited from having Jardine Strategic as a core position as the conglomerate enjoyed robust operating performance in its core markets in the region, it did not hold Jardine Matheson and Hong Kong Land, which also outperformed. SembCorp Marine also lagged as profitability was hurt by contingency costs provisioned for a rig-tilting incident in December and its new drillship contribution. However, its order book reached a record during the period and we remain positive about the company’s outlook.

In portfolio activity, we introduced United Engineers at attractive valuations. The conservatively managed holding company has major interests in property development and leasing across the retail, hospitality, industrial and residential sectors, as well as an exposure to construction and engineering. We also added a new holding, Keppel REIT, because of its upbeat business prospects, good portfolio of commercial properties and attractive valuation.

In corporate action, Aberdeen Asset Management and another key investor completed the share swap of one WBL Corp share for 1.07 shares in The Straits Trading Company (STC). We believe STC’s enlarged position in WBL will allow it to unlock value for the benefit of all shareholders. Following STC’s offer to buy out shares it does not own in WBL, UE, along with OCBC and Great Eastern, announced a rival bid for WBL, subsequently raising its initial offer price to $4.14 per share. STC’s offer has since lapsed and the company has announced that it saw little reason to accept UE’s offer, preferring instead to work with other shareholders to unlock value in WBL.

Aberdeen Thailand Equity FundInterim report to 31 March 2013

Performance ReviewThe Aberdeen Thailand Equity Fund rose by 27.47% in Singapore dollar terms, compared with its benchmark, the SET Index’s total return, of 29.79%.

Market ReviewThe SET Index performed well in the six months under review, supported by decent economic numbers and good corporate earnings. Although the nation’s export growth missed forecasts, full-year economic growth for 2012 was 6.4%, underpinned by healthy consumption, a post-flood recovery in manufacturing and an upbeat tourism sector. Notably, tourist arrivals reached a record 22.3 million over the year, with China overtaking Malaysia as the leading source of visitors. In addition, inflation remained benign, as the strengthening baht brought down import costs and government subsidies cushioned the country from rising fuel prices. Apart from a surprise rate cut in October, policymakers held interest rates steady throughout the review period. Accommodative government policies also helped to provide a significant boost to corporate earnings. Also in the works is a seven-year, 2.2 trillion baht infrastructure overhaul. In view of the resilient economy and the more stable political environment, Fitch raised Thailand’s credit rating to BBB+, which will make it cheaper for the country to borrow abroad.

Portfolio Review During the period, most consumer and financial stocks outperformed as discretionary spending was given a boost by government stimulus. At the stock level, top contributors to performance were consumer finance company Aeon Thana Sinsap and publisher Amarin Printing. Aeon Thana’s good results were buoyed by healthy revenues and falling provisions. A beneficiary of robust domestic demand, it has also expanded into neighbouring countries such as Laos and Vietnam, which is likely to bode well for future growth. Amarin Printing enjoyed solid earnings from its printing, pocketbook and magazine divisions. Its foray into the satellite and digital television business is expected to grow advertising revenue and solidify its position as a leading content provider. The lack of exposure to energy group PTT also benefited the fund, as it was weighed down by falling oil prices.

Conversely, BEC World’s shares corrected following its strong prior performance and despite posting record annual results in February. Meanwhile, coal miner Banpu was affected by weak coal prices. Tesco Lotus Property Fund’s shares rose by more than 10% but failed to keep pace with the rise in the benchmark. Results since listing have been solid and we remain comfortable with the company.

There were no major changes to the portfolio during the review period.

Benchmark refers to MSCI North America Index.(3) The expense ratio has been computed based on the guidelines laid down by the Investment Management Association

of Singapore (“IMAS”). The calculation of the expense ratio at 31 March 2013 was based on total operating expenses of $44,164 (2012: $42,574) divided by the average net asset value of $3,066,259 (2012: $2,903,949) for the year. The total operating expenses do not include (where applicable) brokerage and other transactions costs, performance fee, interest expense, distribution paid out to unitholders, foreign exchange gains/losses, front or back end loads arising from the purchase or sale of other funds and tax deducted at source or arising out of income received. The Sub-Fund does not pay any performance fee. The average net asset value is based on the daily balances.

(4) The portfolio turnover ratio is calculated in accordance with the formula stated in the Code on Collective Investment Schemes. The calculation of the portfolio turnover ratio was based on the lower of the total value of purchases or sales of the underlying investments, being sales of $1,696,638 (2012: purchases of $613,020) divided by the average daily net asset value of $3,269,123 (2012: $2,738,871).

(5) The underlying fund’s expense ratio is based on the latest available semi-annual/annual report of Aberdeen Global - American Equity Fund.

It does not include (where applicable) brokerage and other transaction costs, interest expense, foreign exchange gains/losses, front or back end loads arising from the purchase or sale of other funds and tax deducted at source or arising out of income received.

(6) The turnover ratio is calculated as follows: - [(Purchases of securities + Sales of securities) - (Subscription of units + Redemptions of units) ] /(Average Fund Value

over 6 months) x 100 Based on the above formula, the turnover ratios were -42.96% for period 1 October 2012 to 31 March 2013 and

-102.51% for period 1 October 2011 to 31 March 2012, as the sum of total subscriptions and redemptions was less than the sum of total purchases and sales of securities. Any negative turnover figure will be reflected as zero in the report.

of Singapore (“IMAS”). The calculation of the expense ratio at 31 March 2013 was based on total operating expenses of $2,506,113 (2012: $1,796,978) divided by the average net asset value of $156,726,984 (2012: $111,341,282) for the year. The total operating expenses do not include (where applicable) brokerage and other transactions costs, performance fee, interest expense, distribution paid out to unitholders, foreign exchange gains/losses, front or back end loads arising from the purchase or sale of other funds and tax deducted at source or arising out of income received. The Sub-Fund does not pay any performance fee. The average net asset value is based on the daily balances.

(4) The portfolio turnover ratio is calculated in accordance with the formula stated in the Code on Collective Investment Schemes. The calculation of the portfolio turnover ratio was based on the lower of the total value of purchases or sales of the underlying investments, being sales of $25,286,927 (2012: sales of $9,261,966) divided by the average daily net asset value of $176,237,318 (2012: $115,441,507).

(5) The underlying fund’s expense ratio is based on the latest available semi-annual/annual report of Aberdeen Global - Asian Smaller Companies Fund.

It does not include (where applicable) brokerage and other transaction costs, interest expense, foreign exchange gains/losses, front or back end loads arising from the purchase or sale of other funds and tax deducted at source or arising out of income received.

(6) The turnover ratio is calculated as follows: - [(Purchases of securities + Sales of securities) - (Subscription of units + Redemptions of units) ] /(Average Fund Value

over 6 months) x 100 Based on the above formula, the turnover ratios were -33.88% for period 1 October 2012 to 31 March 2013 and

-49.59% for period 1 October 2011 to 31 March 2012, as the sum of total subscriptions and redemptions was less than the sum of total purchases and sales of securities. Any negative turnover figure will be reflected as zero in the report.

-23.57% for period 1 October 2011 to 31 March 2012, as the sum of total subscriptions and redemptions was less than the sum of total purchases and sales of securities. Any negative turnover figure will be reflected as zero in the report.

(1) The amount (S$) of subscriptions relate to Cash funds only and the amount (S$) of redemptions include both Cash and CPF funds.

(2) Source: Lipper, based on percentage growth, calculated on a NAV-to-NAV basis with gross income reinvested. Benchmark refers to Topix Index.

(3) The expense ratio has been computed based on the guidelines laid down by the Investment Management Association of Singapore (“IMAS”). The calculation of the expense ratio at 31 March 2013 was based on total operating expenses of $76,381 (2012: $87,815) divided by the average net asset value of $4,150,920 (2012: $4,796,184) for the year. The total operating expenses do not include (where applicable) brokerage and other transactions costs, performance fee, interest expense, distribution paid out to unitholders, foreign exchange gains/losses, front or back end loads arising from the purchase or sale of other funds and tax deducted at source or arising out of income received. The Sub-Fund does not pay any performance fee. The average net asset value is based on the daily balances.

(4) The portfolio turnover ratio is calculated in accordance with the formula stated in the Code on Collective Investment Schemes. The calculation of the portfolio turnover ratio was based on the lower of the total value of purchases or sales of the underlying investments, being sales of $1,067,606 (2012: purchases of $184,275) divided by the average daily net asset value of $4,231,680 (2012: $4,384,127).

(5) The underlying fund’s expense ratio is based on the latest available semi-annual/annual report and calculated as follows:

(Total Net Operating Expenses ÷ Management Fee Charges) X Management Fee %. It does not include (where applicable) brokerage and other transaction costs, interest expense, foreign exchange gains/

losses, front or back end loads arising from the purchase or sale of other funds and tax deducted at source or arising out of income received.

(6) The turnover ratio is calculated as follows: - [(Purchases of securities + Sales of securities) - (Subscription of units + Redemptions of units) ] /(Average Fund Value

over 6 months) x 100 Based on the above formula, the turnover ratio was -14.39% for period 1 October 2012 to 31 March 2013, as the sum

of total subscriptions and redemptions was less than the sum of total purchases and sales of securities. Any negative turnover figure will be reflected as zero in the report.

The Sub-Fund does not pay any performance fee. The average net asset value is based on the daily balances.

(4) The portfolio turnover ratio is calculated in accordance with the formula stated in the Code on Collective Investment Schemes.
