Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

Valuation of Investments : The Fund calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio securities. The Fund normally obtains market values for its securities from independent pricing sources and broker-dealers. Independant pricing sources may use reported last sale prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized “matrix” systems that derive values based on comparable securities. Securities which are listed on U.S. and foreign stock exchanges normally are valued at last sale price on the day the securities are valued or, lacking any sales on such day, at last available bid price. Securities may be fair valued based on significant events that have occured subsequent to the close of the foreign markets and may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value securities in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation. If a security is valued at “fair value”, that value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security. In cases where securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by Baring Asset Management (Asia) Limited, the investment manager of the Fund. If a market value is not available from an independent pricing source for a particular security, that security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Fund’s board of directors (the “Board”). All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued weekly in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the time of such valuation. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Occasionally, events affecting the value of foreign investments and such exchange rates occur between the time at which they are determined and the close of the NYSE, which will not be reflected in the computation of the Fund’s net asset value. If events materially affecting the value of such securities or currency exchange rates occur during such time periods, the securities will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board.

Other information regarding the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent Annual and Semi-Annual Reports to Shareholders. This information is available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov).
