Aberdeen Asset Management Asia Limited
Aberdeen Asset Management Asia Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Aberdeen Asset Management Group (the "Aberdeen Group"), was established in Singapore in May 1992, as the regional headquarters of the Aberdeen Group to oversee all of its Asia-Pacific assets, including collective investment schemes. As at 1 March 2007, the Singapore office has a staff strength of 117, including a dedicated investment management team totalling 14 in the equity division and 7 in fixed income. As at end February 2007, Aberdeen Asset Management Asia Limited had over S$53.5 billion worth of assets under its management.
The roots of the Aberdeen Group go back to 1983, when it was formed by a management buy-out. Over the years, the Aberdeen Group has undergone a series of transformations, but retained its identity as an independent asset manager. Worldwide, the Aberdeen Group managed S$229.5 billion as at January 2007 in assets for institutional and retail clients, across different mandate types - equity, fixed income, private equity and direct property. The Aberdeen Group's headquarters are in Aberdeen, Scotland, with additional offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London in the United Kingdom, Philadelphia and Fort Lauderdale in the United States, Hong Kong SAR, Sydney, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Tokyo and Singapore in the Asia-Pacific region. The Aberdeen Group was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1991. |

Investment Approach
The Manager’s and the investment managers investment philosophy is that markets are not always efficient. Superior returns are therefore attainable by identifying good securities (defined in terms of the fundamentals which the Manager believes will drive stock prices over the long term) cheaply. This is achieved primarily through first-hand research and active management of portfolios. In emphasising the primacy of corporate performance, the Manager and the investment managers tend to disregard the role of indices and the concept of relative return. Market capitalisation appears an unsound theoretical basis for a ‘neutral’ portfolio position, being an inherently historical construct, while consensus-driven demand is potentially distorting. Absolute return is held to be more important over the long term, with risks controlled primarily at the security level.
