HL Research - Our view on this Fund

Mark Dampier After a difficult 2008, this fund is back on form, delivering exceptional returns this year. Over 80% of the fund is invested in the Greater China region, about which Henrietta Luk is the most bullish, especially Taiwan. A large weighting in the technology sector has also been a big driver of returns, as has the exposure to car manufacturers. She has also increased the fund's holdings in South Korea, where she believes prospects are bright in the long-term.
