INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

23

Top-down Approach

Value / Growth

Risk Mitigation

Cash


INVESTMENT STRATEGY

• Invest in target countries large cap and liquid stocks (core portfolio) with stock positions ranging from 2% to 5%, and mid- to small caps (satellite portfolio) with positions ranging from 1% to 3%

• Focus on free cash flow, growth potential and undervalued stocks as key drivers for returns

• Top – Down Approach

Strategic country and currency allocation

• Combination of Value and Growth

Gain exposure to domestic and structural growth by investing in companies with sound business performance and management, coupled with good expansion strategies

Company visits and research (primary and secondary) either by the fund manager or team members


INVESTMENT STRATEGY

Vinasun (Vietnam Sun Corp), Bloomberg Code: VNS VN

• Vinasun is the largest taxi operator in Vietnam with a market share of 42% in Ho Chi Minh City and a fleet size of ~4,000 taxis.

• Recently, the company has entered into new cities such as Dong Nai and Binh Duong where it is the market leader. VNS is

further expanding into new cities such as Nha Trang and Can Tho and could also be looking at smaller acquisitions to gain market share.

• Vinasun’s competitive advantage is the ease of access to its taxis through a 24 hour call centre as well as online and on

the ground presence at airports, hotels and commercial centres which reduces waiting time relative to competition. • Increasing urbanisation is a demand driver for taxi services with urban population at 32% of total population in 2012 as

compared to 26% in 2002 • Revenue and net income have grown at a CAGR of 26.8% and 22.1% respectively between 2008 and 2012 • 2012 Return on Equity at 18.4%, operating margin of 10.9% and not heavily levered with net debt of 0.6x and

EBITDA/Interest expense of 5.2x • Currently valued at a 2013 Forward P/E of 9.4x and a P/B of 1.6x. Similar peer, Indonesia based Express Transindo (TAXI IJ)

trades at 2013 Forward P/E of 23.2x and a P/B of 4.2x • With further growth in fleet size and profits we expect Vinasun to achieve comparable valuations to its regional peers

which leaves room for further upside


INVESTMENT STRATEGY – GROWTH PICK

United Motors Lanka PLC, Bloomberg Code: UML SL

• The leading auto industry distributor in Sri Lanka with a strategic network across the country • UML is the sole distributor in Sri Lanka for

• Mitsubishi passenger vehicles from Japan • Fuso commercial vehicles from Japan • TVS Motors two and three wheelers from India • Perodua compact cars from Malaysia • JMC commercial vehicles from China • Zotye compact SUV’s from China • Yokohama Tyres from Japan • Valvoline Lubricants from USA

• Revenues and net income for the company have grown at a CAGR of 16.2% and 30.7% respectively between FY2008 and FY2013

• 2013 Return on Equity at 30.5%, operating margin of 14.7% and unlevered balance sheet with minimal debt • Currently valued very attractively at 4.0x Trailing 12 Months P/E and at a P/B of 1.1x • The fund entered this stock when valuations were even more compelling with a P/E of 1.97x and P/B of 0.77x • The stock has appreciated by 68% since purchase but we believe it is still attractively valued given the growth prospects for

the Sri Lankan economy and it also offers a dividend yield of 8.7%.


INVESTMENT STRATEGY – VALUE PICK

27 CONFIDENTIAL

Country/Sector Approach In addition to AFC Frontier Fund’s core investment themes (Consumption, Infrastructure, and Financials), the fund is also targeting country-specific sectors that are poised for rapid growth Agriculture in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam Textiles in Bangladesh and Pakistan Travel & Tourism in Cambodia and Sri Lanka Power generation in Laos Energy in Iraq and Papua New Guinea Mining in Mongolia and Papua New Guinea


INVESTMENT STRATEGY


ASIAN FRONTIER THEME – CONSUMER STOCKS

AFC Asia Frontier Fund’s key sector allocation – Consumer Stocks

Why we like Consumer Stocks: • Demographics of Frontier Markets – Young Population • Increasing disposable income will shift demand for consumer goods • Attractive valuations, free cash flow generation, consistent earnings growth and dividend payout • Is not subject to political interference or heavy government regulation unlike other industries such as Utilities or Infrastructure • Professional Management as these firms compete with Multi National Companies • Not as significantly impacted by political and social issues • Asian Consumer companies could be attractive acquisition/investment targets; Heineken acquired Asia Pacific Breweries at a P/E ratio of 38.0x, KKR invested US$ 359 million into Vietnam based Masan Group at 44.0x earnings

high returns In-depth due diligence of investment opportunities Diversify across sectors and countries to reduce non systematic risk Avoid investing in countries / currencies / sectors of which we

strategically disapprove No leverage

investments when they arise (momentum / news driven)
