Business Wire, Sept 17, 2007

Market Environment - August 2007

NEW YORK -- The Taiwan Greater China Fund's net asset value (NAV) in August outperformed both its primary benchmark, the Taiwan China Strategy Index (TCS Index) as computed by MSCI, and the total return of Taiwan Stock Exchange Index (TAIEX). The Fund's share price during the month underperformed the TCS Index but outperformed the TAIEX in US$ terms. The Fund's NAV increased 0.1% while its share price decreased by 1.4%, compared to a 0.7% decline in the TCS Index and a 2.8% decline in US$ terms of the TAIEX. The Fund's discount to net asset value averaged 11.6% during August, with a low of 8.1%, a high of 14.7%, and a closing value of 12.2%. During the month, the Taiwan dollar depreciated 0.4% against the U.S. dollar.

The Taiwan Stock Exchange was not immune to the travails and volatility suffered by equity markets globally in the wake of the concerns about the US sub-prime mortgage market and subsequent fears of a potential credit crunch, The index closed July at 9,287 having already been buffeted for a few days by the beginning of the downturn. The worst of the storm was felt in the middle of month, when on August 17th, the index hit an intra-day low just below the 8,000 mark. Since then, the index climbed back over the next two weeks to close August at 8,982 albeit with continued volatility. As could be expected in an effort to marshal liquidity, foreign investors in the Taiwan markets net sold Taiwan shares, pulling a record US$6.9 billion out of the market in the four weeks prior to August 20th. However, during the last week of the month, foreign investors net bought US$600 million in securities, reversing the trend. For the year through the end of August, foreign investors have purchased a net US$2.5 billion in shares, bringing the total market capitalization of foreign ownership of the Taiwan Stock Exchange to US$215 billion or 33.1% of the total.
