Key activities
Investment in quoted Asian equities, active stock selection, tactical cash and gearing management, share buybacks and annual dividend distributions.
Key markets
Asia-Pacific excluding Japan, including China, Hong Kong, India, Taiwan, South Korea and South-East Asia.
Key drivers
Asian corporate earnings, semiconductor and technology cycles, Chinese economic policy, Indian growth, currencies, stock selection and the trust's discount to NAV.
Key risks
Emerging-market volatility, China political and regulatory risk, currency movements, technology concentration, geopolitical tensions and discount widening.
Recent Developments
2 June 2026: half-year results showed a NAV total return of 3.7% for the six months to 31 March, compared with 5.2% for the benchmark. Asian market leadership remains uneven, so stock selection, China policy, Indian valuations and the trust's discount are likely to remain key themes through the 2027 horizon.
Dividend notes
The trust normally pays one annual dividend, with income secondary to capital growth. The latest dividend was 13.0p per share, ex-dividend 29 December 2025 and paid on 6 February 2026; the next annual dividend is expected to be considered after the September year-end.
