Ukraine was hit the hardest by the economic crisis in 2009. An improvement is expected for 2010. Its external position has stabilized

Macroeconomic trends in Eastern Europe: Ukraine

Political stabilization and a new IMF $15b programme are very positive for country’s fiscal situation and deficit financing ability, thus solvency

Macroeconomic trends in Eastern Europe: recovery in industrial output

The clear trend in the CIS region has been one of fundamental economic recovery since 2Q09. The very last few months demonstrated some slowdown of recovery, but no double-dip

Only in Kazakhstan, however, has industrial output reached pre-crisis levels.

Kazakhstan's growth is being driven by the oil and gas sectors and by increasing economic ties with China.

Eastern European credit markets II

CIS debt market performance YTD as represented by family of TDI* indices

High-beta markets (e.g. Ukraine and Kazakhstan) strongly outperformed amid strong investors’ risk appetite and country-specific drivers:

In Ukraine - political power consolidation and successful cooperation with IMF

In Kazakhstan, finalization of banking sector’s restructuring

May’10 has been the only month on Russian debt market with negative performance during the last 17 months

Activity on the primary market has been elevated, as Russian issuers placed almost $20bn in Eurobonds, while companies from Ukraine and Kazakhstan borrowed ca. $4bn in total

Still no representative index of Central-Eastern Europe debt markets available

NESTOR Osteuropa Bond performance

Fund’s official benchmark* significantly outperformed (7.5% vs 2.3%) in 7m10

Among peers, NESTOR Osteuropa Bond Fund has a long track-record and solid performance

The Fund has demonstrated comparable annualized return at lower volatility since inception compared to peers, justifying its benchmark-unaware style

Bank CenterCredit, Kazakhstan, Moody’s Ba3, Fitch B; maturing on 2 Feb 2011

Kazakhstan’s fourth largest bank with a wide network of 200 branches across Kazakhstan with a focus on retail and SME

The largest bank of South Korea Kookmin Bank (A1/A/A) together with IFC jointly control the bank (51.9% ownership)

The bank enjoys best asset quality among peers and no government stake, as the bank refused to accept governmental support in the time of systemic crisis

Low leveraged systemically-important bank which benefits from strong shareholders, long-term profile of its debt and overliquidity:

43% of assets in cash and government bonds!

Loans/Deposits 91%

Status of bond in fund as at 30 July 2010: YTM 6%, term of 0.49 years

18

Bank of Georgia, Georgia, Moody’s Ba3, S&P B, Fitch B+; maturing on 8 Feb 2012

Largest private bank in Georgia by far (around one third of market share); has to some extent the characteristics of a monopoly

Strong support from IFI, EBRD, IFC and OPIC through the provision of comprehensive long-term loans and subordinated loans at favourable conditions

Overcapitalized, overliquid bank with a capital ratio of 32.2% and cash of 38.7%

No significant repayments before the Eurobond issue matures

Status of bond in fund as at 30 July 2010: YTM 9.3%, term of 1.4 years

19

Azovstal, Ukraine, Moody’s B3, Fitch B-; maturing on 28 Feb 2011

One of the largest steel plants in Ukraine: key asset of vertically integrated steel holding Metinvest (part of Mr. R. Akhmetov-controlled SCM Group)

Exports over 80% of its products, partly to affiliated companies located in Western Europe

Political environment is extremely beneficial after presidential elections, as the owner Mr. Akhmetov has a strong influence in the now ruling Party of Regions

Low leverage: Debt/EBITDA constantly below 2x

Recent Metinvest bond issuance improved liquidity of the group, making it easier to redeem Azovstal bond in February

Bond repayment is a matter of Group reputation (Metinvest aims to tap global financial markets for an IPO). In addition, the new Metinvest bonds include cross-default on Azovstal debt

Status of bond in fund as at 30 July 2010: YTM 12.3%, term of 0.6 years

20

Gazprom Russia, Fitch A-; maturing on 1 Feb 2020

Gazprom is one of the world’s largest integrated oil & gas companies with operations in CIS and Europe. Besides, it owns and operates the world’s largest gas transportation, storage and processing system exceeding 159 thousand km

Gazprom is a pure quasi-sovereign issuer, as under the Gas Supply Law the state will maintain a majority ownership stake in the company going forward

Despite weak operational environment, its debt/EBITDA ratio at the end of 2009 was moderate – 1.5x

Gazprom is well recognized borrower, as it was the first CIS company able to borrow on Eurobond market following a Lehman Brothers collapse

Bond valuation in fund as at 3 July 2010: YTM 6.3%, maturity of 3.1 years

21

Structural portfolio – changesin 7 months 2010 I

In 2010-to-date, the driving themes in the portfolio have been:

Riding the cyclical recovery and booking gains when undervaluation disappeared (e.g., banking, metals and mining)

Adding positions outside CIS, which lost the clear undervaluation status during the period

Reinvest in instruments selected on a bottom-up basis to reduced the beta of the portfolio

22

Structural portfolio – changesin 7 months 2010 II

More specifically, across sectors the following changes took place:

Banking sector (our favorite at the start of 2010) has significantly decreased (from 60% to 40%) due to redemptions (Ukrsots’10, Russkiy Standart’10) and sold/reduced positions (Bank of Georgia, Halyk, Privatbank, VTB, BTA)

Metals and mining have also significantly reduced (by 9%) as we took profits in Severstal, Raspadskaya, Kazakhgold (in the former two cases excellent timing of trades)

Media (Polish TVN), transportation (Georgian Railways) and oil&gas (Alliance oil) have been increased the most in the Fund, but bottom-up factors rather than industry views have been the drivers

New sectors: utilities (Zagreb Hld.) and energy (Eesti Energia)

23

Structural portfolio – changesin 7M10 IV

In terms of countries:

Our 2010-start top-pick Russia was reduced most (8.6% to 25%), “exotic” Azerbaijan eliminated (put option used on Technikabank)

Increased/new countries – Poland (+4.7%), Estonia (+3.7%), Georgia (+3.5%)

As the attractive short-duration opportunities matured/rallied, the overall portfolio duration increased from 1.9 to 2.6 during the period

Investment process

Our investment process is completely benchmark-unaware

We seek and evaluate opportunities on a stand-alone risk/return merits

The selection process used follows a bottom-up approach. The starting point is knowledge of the local conditions coupled with internal research findings and bond-specific considerations

Internal ratings are assigned, as are fair spread levels based on market data (valuation score <1 implies undervaluation, >1 implies overvaluation)

Buy and sell signals are derived as a result

Sold out on 08.12.2009: 119.25 (valuation score 0.62x)

29

Outlook for 2010 I

We expect global deflationary environment along with further quantitative easing policies to continue and to support emerging market debt also in H2’2010

Fundamentally, credit-risk metrics are still generally favourable for emerging market debt relative to developed markets

In Eastern Europe, this is clearly the case for Russia, Kazakhstan, Poland

In Ukraine, the radical change in political environment along with the new IMF program expected to further normalize macroeconomic environment, fiscal and external balances

In the short-term, however, technicals may cause market corrections, which we think should be used to “buy on dips”:

Yields of many debt instruments are at their all-time lows

But credit spreads are still wider than before the start of the crisis

30

Outlook for 2010 II

In sum, while we see further upside to the market over medium-term, the period of “easy money” appears to be behind us

In relative terms, in Eastern European debt markets we continue to prefer Ukraine and Kazakhstan to Russia, yet in all markets security selection has become increasingly important

As usual, in Central Europe’s eurobond market bottom-up approach is the basis for investing

31

Strategy for 2010

Strategy of the Fund remains largely unchanged from the start of the year

We will continue to concentrate on bottom-up approach, i.e., careful issuer-specific fundamental analysis will remain the backbone in security selection =>

Industry and country allocations are a by-product, not a determinant

Duration depends on credit opinion about a certain issuer – for some we prefer short duration, for others long duration instruments

Strategy for 2010

However, the general trends in the Fund are expected to be:

Gradual reduction in Ukraine weighting as instruments achieve their fair levels

Further reduction of the less liquid positions (e.g., Estonia)

Overall portfolio duration (now at 2.6) expected to remain roughly unchanged

Each primary corporate debt placement will continue to be carefully assessed

CEE opportunities evaluated on a case-by-case basis, more exposure in these more stable markets may be acquired
