§ DFM is a Tier 1 Chinese SOE, majority owned by the Central Government § DFM owns 50% in joint ventures with Nissan, Honda & Peugeot in China, which account for over 90% of DFM’s earnings § In 2017, these JVs sold over 10% of all passenger vehicles sold in China § DFM also owns 12% of PSA Peugeot group and has a very cash rich balance sheet § When we combine the stake in PSA Group, net cash at the corporate level and JV level combined, we get a value in excess of the market capitalisation of the company. This implies negative value for the stakes in joint ventures § Over the last decade, DFM has grown earnings at a 14%

SLIDE 39

The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange-rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested. The fund invests in emerging and developing markets, where there is potential for a decrease in market liquidity, which may mean that it is not easy to buy or sell securities. There may also be difficulties in dealing and settlement, and custody problems could arise. The fund may use derivatives (complex instruments) in an attempt to reduce the overall risk of its investments, reduce the costs of investing and/or generate additional capital or income, although this may not be achieved. The use of such complex instruments may result in greater fluctuations of the value of the fund. The Manager, however, will ensure that the use

  • f derivatives within the fund does not materially alter the overall

risk profile of the fund.
