† Basis of calculation for Net Asset Value
Beginning in mid-January 2007, the onshore and offshore currency rates for the Thai Baht diverged following the introduction of exchange controls in Thailand on 18 December 2006. With effect from 23 March 2007, this divergence had reached a material level such that the Trust opted to calculate and publish subsequent daily net asset values using the onshore Thai Baht rate to value Baht-denominated assets. This replaces the offshore rate used historically.

May 2013
Indian equities rose in April on hopes that easing price pressures will spur policymakers to further loosen monetary policy. At the time of writing, the central bank cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 7.25%.
The current account deficit rose to a record in the December-quarter.
The local car market contracted in the year to March as high borrowing costs and fuel prices dampened demand. Manufacturers responded by cutting production and tapping the export market.
In April, we continued to build our position in cement maker ACC.
In portfolio-related news, Anglo-Dutch company Unilever made an offer to increase its stake in our holding Hindustan Unilever to 75% in a deal worth US$5.4 billion. Separately, the local subsidiary reported solid full-year sales and earnings, with all segments delivering good operating profits. Healthy domestic and Indonesian revenues bolstered Godrej Consumer Products’s final quarter, while robust loan growth boosted ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank. Tata Consultancy Services’s full-year net earnings grew 34%, whereas Infosys reported a more modest expansion of 8% as it continued to restructure its business to regain growth momentum. Meanwhile, the economic slowdown affected March quarterend sales for Hero MotoCorp, Castrol India and UltraTech Cement.
Looking ahead, the domestic manufacturing and services sectors are likely to lose momentum, as foreshadowed by their respective purchasing managers’ indices. However, any hopes of further interest rate cuts have been dashed by the Reserve Bank of India’s warning of resurgent inflationary pressures. The government’s commitment to carry through its reform drive has become an economic imperative, as much to revive faltering growth as it is to reassure investors.
