Investment Strategy
The fund focuses on equities and equity-like securities from the Asia-Pacific region excluding Japan. With a medium-to long-term investment horizon, the fund purchases equities with fundamentally favourable valuations whose dividends - based on above-average dividend yields - are expected to make a high and reliable contribution to the overall performance of the fund. With DJE - Asien High Dividend, the proven DJE dividend strategy is focused on Asia. Without reference to a benchmark, the fund uses independent research to identify high-value, frequently family-run companies which are often in a better position to cope with difficult market conditions. The fund is actively managed. This means that even high cash positions can be established with the aim of stabilising performance.

Monthly Fund Manager's Commentary
In April the Asian equity markets mainly closed in the red. Especially the Chinese and South Korean markets registered losses. Calculated in Euro the Hang Seng and the Shanghai Composite dipped 0.61 per cent respectively 3.41 per cent. Slightly better was the development of the south Korean (Kospi: 3.59 per cent). The fund price of the DJE Asia High Dividend was able to hold up well in this difficult environment. The fund price (unit class P) performed in the period under review with+ 0.72 % better than its benchmark (-0.80 %). This was supported by the pleasing development of highly weighted titles. The highest performance contributions were archived by the Singaporean telecommunication company M1 as well as from Malayan Banking. Furthermore encouraging was the performance of the Chinese supermarket and brewery holding China Resources and of the Chinese watch retailer Hengdeli. In accordance with the favorable valuation and the improving business outlooks, the fund management increased the positions of Hengdeli. Also purchased were titles of the Chinese company Sichuan Expressway and Peak Sports. Sold were titles of the Chinese IT Holding Digital China and of the Chinese jewelry retailer Luk Fook. As well reduced was the investment into the Taiwan based chip producer Taiwan Semiconductor. The investment quota of the fund was 88 per cent by month end. The risk/reward ratio of the Chinese investment region remains favorable as China ensures plenty of liquidity by increasing the money quantity (M1) nearly 12 per cent. Therefore economic growth and company profits for 2013 are well supported.
