^ As of April 29, 2008, the primary benchmark for the Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund was changed to the MSCI All Country Asia ex Japan Index so as to more closely match the portfolio’s blend of holdings. Prior to that date, the MSCI All Country Far East ex Japan Index served as the Fund’s primary benchmark. The MSCI All Country Asia ex Japan Index is a free float adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index of the stockmarkets of China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.



a Percentage values in data are rounded to the nearest tenth of one percent; the values may not sum to 100% due to marginal rounding errors.
b Equity market cap of issuer.
c The P/E figures represent the Harmonic Average P/E- which measures the price/earnings ratio of the Fund's entire portfolio, excluding negative earners- weighted by the size of the company's position within the portfolio.
