Investors may get back significantly less than the original amount invested. Currency risk: The Fund invests in assets which are denominated in other currencies; changes in exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund.

Reference to the names of any company is merely to explain the investment strategy and should not be construed as investment advice or a recommendation to invest in any of those companies.

5 Commentary Market Review Asia Pacific ex-japan markets continued to rise over the quarter in sterling terms. Major Activity During the quarter we bought Infosys (India: Information Technology), a software services company based in Bangalore, India, which has an impressive culture and business franchise that is among the highest quality Indian tech companies. We sold Hong Kong & China Gas (Hong Kong: Utilities) because of risks associated with its Chinese businesses and because the valuation was expensive. We sold LG Household & Health Care (South Korea: Consumer Staples) as we prefer other investment opportunities elsewhere in South Korea. We also sold both Bukit Sembawang Estates (Singapore: Real Estate) and Cathay Pacific Airways (Hong Kong: Industrials) on valuation concerns. Comment Infosys is the second largest Indian IT services company. It was founded in 1981 and grew rapidly as a key beneficiary of the outsourcing trend. The company's recent history has been a lesson on how not to handle succession. This has resulted in the return of the founder steward to chair the board of directors. We believe this is a positive and a necessary step to restoring the confidence in the company's clients and employees. The nature of the business is to drive efficiencies throughout the economy by the application of software across many industries. Infosys is a debt-free, cash-generative franchise, earning 'hard currency' (almost all of its customer base is in the US and Europe), which is valued quite reasonably. Outlook Companies continue to look expensive and we find it difficult to find quality companies trading at reasonable valuations. As the future is inherently unpredictable, most of our time is spent analysing history. We focus on the history of key people at investee companies, assessing their approach to business risk, capital allocation and indebtedness. We believe that the best way to avoid significant risk is to back management who are conservative, honest and have built resilient businesses. However, we continue to believe that the Asian region offers an attractive prospect for the long-term investor. We would argue it is home to many high quality companies and a significant number of world class stewards. 3 STEWART INVESTORS ASIA PACIFIC FUND (UK OEIC) - QUARTERLY INVESTMENT REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2017
