Comment
During the period under review, the shares of smaller companies in Malaysia did
not perform as well as those of the larger companies. The net asset value per
share of the Fund fell 2.2% after expenses from $37.89 to $37.07 while the Kuala
Lumpur Stock Exchange Index expressed in US dollars gained 3.3% over the same
period.
Economic growth in the first half was very robust, averaging 7.8% after the best
quarterly performance in almost four years in the second quarter, when the
economy expanded at an annual rate of 8%. Strong external demand was partly
responsible, driven in particular by demand for consumer electronics and
communication devices. Domestic demand also helped, as higher disposable income
and buoyant consumer confidence were converted into household consumption and
stronger private investment.
Abdullah Badawi took over as Prime Minister in November 2003, and his reform
agenda has been a pleasant surprise which, in the long term, should foster a
more productive economy. Public sector performance, public sector corruption,
fiscal restraint and education are the Prime Minister's targets, and already
there are encouraging indications in some of these areas that he is serious.
It is not only in relative but also in absolute terms that smaller companies
have not performed well so far this year. However, the price action has revealed
some excellent value among fundamentally strong companies, and the Fund has
recently increased its position in some smaller growth situations that appear
anomalously cheap. Against this background the outlook for the Fund, supported
as it appears to be by strong earnings growth, seems very positive.
