At the end of February Finasta New Europe TOP20 subfund had a great performance of 16.9% in 2012 but after the correction profit decreased to 6.9% year to date (YTD). On the hand, the fund performed much better than its benchmark CECE Extended that is -3.1% YTD. Most stock had a correction as rising fear of South Europe government debt was followed by controversial elections in several countries. On the other hand, the fund investments are concentrated in those Eastern Europe countries that have much lower debt level than South and Western Europe countries. Companies there are high quality, show strong results and are cheap. P/E of the fund is below 8 compared with historical market level of 12. Despite current negative sentiment, we expect stock to rebound and to have positive finish for the year. 36,179 mln. 10,478 mln.

3 Russia TOP20 subfund Finasta Russia TOP20 subfund has a concentrated portfolio of region s best investment ideas (close to minimum allowed by UCITs). Every pick comes from a thorough fundamental bottom-up analysis. Concentrated portfolio means maximum focus on each investment idea, high leverage on best picks. Higher concentration comes with the risk of higher deviation in subfund s net asset values. Aim of the subfund - to achieve maximum equity return while investing in Russia and CIS region. Recommended term of investment - more than 5 years Monthly -15,14% YTD 0,26% Since inception -22,55% Subfond Data Last Spring was rather harsh for Russian equities. European debt crises, decelerating growth in China, political tensions in Russia those factors together caused significant sell-off of stocks. The beginning year gains turned to losses and capital safety dominated any other investment argument. In three months RTS index (in euros) lost 22.6 percent, Russia TOP20 fund fell a bit less percent and its return is +1.3 percent year to date. The fund reduced further the share of resources and increased the weight of companies focused on local consumption. As a result fund volatility is lower and share of companies with high quality management has increased. One of new positions in fund is CTC Media the group of Russian TV channels that is managed by international media holding. This liquid stock stands out for cheap valuation (among peers) and allows a better diversification of fund investments (e.g. less risk). It is likely that high market volatility is there to stay in coming months. However, equities are cheap and further weakness may present good entry point for long term investors. 13,040 mln. 3,777 mln.

Despite debt restructuring, tensions over Greece s exit from the euro intensified after a struggle to form new government due the indecisive May s parliamentary elections. Indebted Spain and Italy were again under pressure as a result of European politics being slow on reaching agreement to stabilize. Disappointing macro data from US and Asia provided little help too. All this, however, might push central banks to react with the additional accommodative policy at an early date. Euro concerns hit German equities, which declined 8.7% during spring. Commodities were no exception too. ETFs linked to commodity prices tumbled 8% during 3 months. Gold, on the other hand, proved to be a profitable investment contributing a 0.6% profit since its purchase in April.
