When it was first used in 2001 to present Brazil, Russia, India, and China as a group of countries that could dominate the global economy by mid-century, investors were only warming up to emerging markets. But from then on, helped in large part by the media deluge, the change in perception over the growth potential in emerging countries has been remarkable. Within a few years, other countries with bright economic stories peeked out from under the glow of the BRIC group and emerging markets became one of the favored asset classes for global investors seeking higher returns and diversification. Despite other emerging markets gaining investor attention, the BRIC countries still have a dominant 44% weight in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. For almost a decade after their launch, the BRIC countries pulled their weight in terms of performance too, as the MSCI BRIC Index (net) returned 16.6% annualized for the 10-year period through December 31, However, more recently, these large markets have lagged most other emerging markets, except those in Europe that have been hurt by the ongoing fiscal turmoil and recession. For the three year period ending March 31, 2013, India, Brazil, and Russia all lost value and China barely broke even, while the MSCI EM Index annualized 3.3%. For the Thomas White Emerging Market portfolios, our Investment Committee has taken advantage of the geographical breadth of our research coverage to focus on some of the relatively smaller countries that we believe provide better growth opportunities. This strategy has allowed us to log strong relative performance, since we launched the dedicated Emerging Markets Strategy in mid Here are some highlights by region: EM LATIN AMERICA (ex-brazil, 9% of the MSCI EM Index as of March 31, 2013) Among the Latin American EM countries outside Brazil, Mexico s economic performance has been the most noteworthy in recent years. The long struggle to shield its economy from intense drug-related violence, though not yet completely successful, has started to yield positive results. The growing trend among global corporations of nearshoring, or locating manufacturing units close to major markets such as the U.S., is benefitting Mexico significantly. The increasing labor costs in Asia, and higher shipping costs from countries such as China to the U.S., have also played a major role in making Mexico an attractive manufacturing location.

2 The reform initiatives launched by President Enrique Pena Nieto have also attracted investor attention to Mexico this year. If the government s proposals are successfully implemented, key sectors of the economy such as energy and telecommunications would see increased competition. At the same time, Mexico has managed to avoid episodes of excessive inflation and currency fluctuations in recent years. Along with growing average income levels, relatively lower inflation and stable interest rates have supported domestic consumption growth and sectors such as financials and consumer staples. Grupo Financiero Banorte S.A.B. de C.V., one of the leading banks in the country, is among the businesses that have taken advantage of the increased opportunities. Unlike many of its peers, which are subsidiaries of global banks struggling to raise capital, Banorte has a capitalization ratio in excess of 15% that it has successfully leveraged to expand its loan portfolio and make acquisitions. Last year, Banorte joined hands with a government -owned pension fund to acquire the Mexican pension fund assets of Spanish bank Banco Bilbao for $1.6 billion. For the Thomas White Emerging Market portfolios, our Investment Committee has taken advantage of the geographical breadth of our research coverage to focus on some of the relatively smaller countries that we believe provide better growth opportunities. This strategy has allowed us to log strong relative performance, since we launched the dedicated Emerging Markets Strategy in mid In Chile and Peru, among the world s biggest producers and exporters of copper and other metals, our portfolio selections have tried to reduce the exposure to the volatile commodity cycle. We have emphasized sectors such as banking and consumer staples, which continue to see above average demand growth, aided by the sustained fiscal and monetary stimulus measures. EM EUROPE/AFRICA (ex-russia, 12% of the MSCI EM Index as of March 31, 2013) The emerging economies of Europe continue to bear the brunt of the region s persistent fiscal crisis that has led to appreciable demand destruction and economic recession. Producers of industrial components and chemicals feeding the large manufacturers in the developed European countries have been the worst hit, even as lower government spending has restrained domestic consumption. However, our research continues to seek value in countries such as Turkey, which have relatively large domestic markets that are shielded from external shocks. In addition, being at the border of Europe, Turkey is also in a position to take advantage of opportunities in Asia, especially in the Middle East. Turkish industrial conglomerates Haci Omer Sabanci Holding A.S. and KOC Holding A.S. have been strengthening their dominant local market positions while expanding in countries such as Iraq where global competitors are yet to become active. For instance, KOC has increased its capital investment plans to nearly $4 billion this year, investing in sectors such as energy, hospitality, and processed foods in Turkey as well as in neighboring countries.

This has benefited the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors which have seen accelerated demand growth in recent years. In addition, the South African consumer goods and pharmaceutical manufacturers as well as retailers are well placed to expand in other countries on the continent. Several countries in Africa have seen fast paced growth in recent (312) Page 2

3 years, but global corporations are hesitant to enter these countries due to the small size of these economies and lack of local operating experience. South African corporations, on the contrary, are well versed with the local environment and have the ability to make the necessary changes to their products and services to suit local consumer preferences. Our EM portfolios have maintained overweight positions in South Africa in recent years, with majority of the holdings outside the mining sector. EM ASIA (ex-china/india, 35% of the MSCI EM Index as of March 31, 2013) Korean manufacturers have gained significant global market share in sectors such as automobiles and electronic durables in recent years. Samsung Electronics has seen spectacular growth in its smartphone business, outpacing rivals to become the global market leader. Automaker Hyundai Motor and its associate Kia have proved to be more than capable of matching Japanese, European, as well as American competitors in product quality, design attractiveness, and other features. In Asia, investor attention is shifting away from the well-known growth stories of China and India to countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, and Taiwan that came to prominence earlier before fading, as well as Indonesia, which joined the growth club much after the others. Among these countries, Indonesia has seen the most consistent economic performance in recent years, expanding at an annual average of above 6%. Most forecasts, including from the International Monetary Fund, expect the country to sustain this pace over the next several years. The recent trends from Malaysia, Thailand, and Taiwan have also been positive and they are among the few countries where the International Monetary Fund expects economic growth to gain pace when compared to earlier forecasts. In addition to the export potential, most of these countries are also seeing significant expansion in domestic discretionary spending and our portfolio strategies have attempted to closely track this trend. Accordingly, our EM portfolios are currently overweight on banks in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand which are seeing significant credit demand growth, as well as consumer oriented corporations. Most of these banks have conservative balance sheets as these countries successfully rebuilt their banking industry after the Asian financial crisis in the nineties by enforcing prudent regulations. In Indonesia, Astra International has a dominant market share in the distribution and financing of automobiles and appears uniquely placed to ride the consumer demand growth in one of the most populous countries in the region. Korean manufacturers have gained significant global market share in sectors such as automobiles and electronic durables in recent years. Samsung Electronics has seen spectacular growth in its smartphone business, outpacing rivals to become the global market leader. Automaker Hyundai Motor and its associate Kia have proved to be more than capable of matching Japanese, European, as well as American competitors in product quality, design attractiveness, and other features. Though Hyundai has faced some recent setbacks including large product recalls, the company continues to strengthen its position across major markets. In addition, domestic demand growth could get a fillip if the declared intention of the new government to introduce policies that favor domestic consumers is successfully implemented.

4 After several years of intense competition that destroyed margins and drove several corporations to bankruptcy, Taiwanese semiconductor companies are now seeing a revival in fortunes. The exploding global demand for smartphones, tablet computers and other handheld devices has fueled the hunger for processors. At the same time, the industry has now consolidated around a select group of manufacturers that has the capacity, technological capability, and now, improving pricing power. Concluding Thoughts and Performance Profile The broad stock selectivity across all three EM Regions in the non- BRIC s is a reflection of the firm s expertise and knowledge built up since 1998 when we first began investing in emerging markets through our global and international portfolios. While most overseas investors were just getting their initial exposure to emerging markets back in with perhaps one or two holdings in each of the BRIC s, for example, our international portfolio held as many as issues across 8-9 countries within the emerging markets.

6 THOMAS WHITE INTERNATIONAL Capturing Value Worldwide Are You Positioned for a World of Opportunities? Our strategy is to seek smoother, more consistent returns by stressing excellent local stock selection as opposed to betting on major country and sector moves. To succeed in this approach, we have built an exceptional global research team that uses our proprietary techniques to identify the most attractive stocks in each of the major regions of the world. This in effect is our trump card. Thomas S. White, Jr., Chief Investment Officer THE THOMAS WHITE DIFFERENCE Thomas White International manages in excess of $2.1 billion in assets across multiple global, international and domestic equity mandates. The diverse client base spans public, corporate, endowment, Taft-Hartley, and separately managed account platforms. Research is the heart of our company. At Thomas White, we believe that original research is the surest path to superior portfolio performance. That is why our disciplined investment process is supported solely by our in-house research. Our investment process differs from the crowd. Our labor-intensive approach to valuing common stocks combines the patient collection of data, and the execution of thorough historical studies, with the application of fundamental securities analysis. These guidelines provide an investment framework, which is used in the process of determining a company s current business worth. Valuing global stocks in nearly 50 countries, this industry-based stock selection process employs tailor-made valuation frameworks refined and tested over the 40-year history of the Thomas White organization and its predecessors. Our veteran analysts, most with PhDs, on average have more than sixteen years of experience working together as a team. Our proprietary research is generated by our professionals, both in Chicago and in our Asia office in Bangalore, India, who have spent their entire careers at Thomas White. Our investment approach seeks to benefit from buying undervalued stocks and selling them when they return to fair value. Our analysts find that investors tend to overvalue a company against its industry peers when the intermediate business environment is favorable, producing strong earnings growth and then undervalue a company when the environment depresses its business outlook. This pattern is a reflection of human behavior - it occurs in every industry and country around the world. It is this phenomenon that explains a stock s wide price swings above and below its intrinsic value as a business.
