2 Our Approach to Investing in Asia Active management We believe many of the region's widely used equity indices are backward looking and are not representative of the industries and companies that will be successful in the future. With respect to the region's debt indices, we believe they are representative of the most indebted countries as opposed to the most creditworthy. Long-term focus on Asia We believe a long-term approach is the most effective way to capitalize on Asia' s evolution. Matthews Asia has been investing in Asia since 1991 and we draw on our experience to identify investment opportunities that stand to benefit from the growth and development of markets throughout the region. Bottom-up research We employ a fundamental, bottom-up investment process. For equities, we seek to identify companies with sustainable long-term growth prospects, strong business models, quality management teams and reasonable valuations. For debt securities, we look for issuers that demonstrate strength in credit, currencies and interest rates. This research process involves more than 2,500 company meetings each year.

Credit risk is the change in the value of debt securities reflecting the ability and willingness of issuers to make principal and interest payments. Interest rate risk is the possibility that a Fund's yield will decline due to falling interest rates and the potential for bond prices to fall as interest rates rise. Currency risk is a decline in value of a foreign currency relative to the Fund's base currency which reduces the value of the foreign currency and investments denominated in that currency. The Fund may invest in the following: derivatives which can be volatile and affect Fund performance; high yield bonds (junk bonds) which can subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss; and structured investments which can change the risk or return, or replicate the risk or return of an underlying asset. The Fund is non-diversified and may invest a larger portion of its assets in a single issuer and may entail greater risk than a diversified fund. Matthews Asia Strategic Income Fund Investment Objective Seeks total return over the long term with an emphasis on income. Strategy Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its total assets, which include borrowings for investment purposes, in income-producing securities including, but not limited to, debt and debt-related instruments issued by governments, quasi-governmental entities, supranational institutions, and companies in Asia, which consists of all countries and markets in Asia, including developed, emerging, and frontier countries and markets in the Asian region. Investments may be denominated in any currency, and may represent any part of a company s capital structure from debt to equity or with features of both. Risks All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Investing in international and emerging markets may involve additional risks, such as social and political instability, market illiquidity, exchange-rate fluctuations, a high level of volatility and limited regulation.
