Renewed concerns about a faltering of growth in China, and the health of its banking system also underminedsentiments.The Fund lagged the benchmark in June. Major negative contributions came from China, Taiwan and Malaysia, where rotational selling in a marketenvironment of high anxiety affected even those stocks whose earnings profiles were adjudged to be relatively steady.During June, the Fund maintained a slight underweight position in equities. Holdings in China, Taiwan, and Thailand were reduced, while that forKorea was increased. The latter was achieved partly via additional purchases of Hotel Shilla, a hotel and dutyfree shop operator which is seen asa beneficiary of increased tourism traffic from China into Korea.The risk of global bond yields rising further remains, and this is likely to maintain a level of uncertainty for stocks. Overall, markets are likely to stayfluid, as investors interpret the latest economic indicators to determine the direction of the global economy. Sentiments are also likely to bedominated by developments regarding the US Fed "tapering", as well as policy moves in China.aia.com.sg
