    Highlights in March 2011

    SKAGEN Kon-Tiki gained 2.4 percent in EUR in March, which was 0.6 percentagepoints behind the benchmark index. For 1Q11, the fund is down 0.2 percent versus anindex decline of 3.6 percent.

    We added no new positions in March and sold out of Qingling Motors. We increasedour positions in a number of companies, notably Equinox Minerals, Vale, SabanciHolding and Hon Hai Precision Industry, while we trimmed our positions in some verystrong performers such as Seadrill, Great Wall Motor and Banrisul. We raised our

    forecasts for Great Wall Motor and downgraded for Aveng. For our 35 largest holdings,we foresee a median earnings growth of 22 percent for 2011 (in line with EM at 21percent). We did not make any changes to target prices.

    The 35 largest holdings, representing 78% of the fund, trade at a weighted P/BV of 1.2xversus 2.1x for the EM index. The weighted P/E for 2011e is 7.8x, which is also asignificant discount to the benchmark index at 11.5x.

    For the 35 largest holdings, we see a weighted upside of 40%. This would put P/BV at1.8x and P/E for 2011e at 10.6x, which would still be a significant discount to EM ingeneral.

    Why did we buy in and sell out in March?

    Qingling Motors went out of the portfolio as we grew concerned about its intellectual property

    and its margin potential amid its close ties to Isuzu Motors.

    News from our portfolio companies (1)

    Eletrobras (6.5% weight) announced its CAPEX budget for 2011 of BRL 10.2bn versus a 12m rolling CAPEX of

    BRL 7.7bn as of 3Q10, driven by large generation investments as San Antonio and Bel Monte. According to localpress, Folha, Eletrobras is also studying the possibilities of divestments of projects and minority participations inorder to reduce unwarranted risk in the portfolio with minority stakes likely to be the first target.

    Samsung Electronics (5.5% weight) has hired ex BMW design chief, Chris Bangle, as a design advisor. Mr.Bangle will reportedly be involved in handset- and TV design from day one.

    Hyundai Motor (5.0% weight) revealed March sales figures showing a 2% YoY growth (+9% YoY for 1Q10).Domestic sales rose 5%, while sales outside of Korea was up 1%. Its domestic market share continued to

    recover to 46.5%. Sistema (3.7% weight) announced the appointment of Mikhail Shamolin, currently CEO of its subsidiary MTS, as

    new CEO, replacing Leonid Melamed, who will remain an active board member. This is positive, amid recentspeculation that the son of its major shareholder, Vladimir Yevtushenkov, would take the top post.

    Sistema will sell its 63% stake in Sitronics to RTI (85% owned by Sistema) for USD 110m constituting a 20%premium to current market levels. This is neutral for Sistema as it is an intra company transaction.

    Sistema also announced that the Russian government has finally has acquired a 17.1% stake in its Indian mobileoperations, Sistema Shyam Teleservices, for USD 600m, through a capital increase. The government has a putoption to Sistema for a one year period starting five year after the acquisition at the highest of USD 777m andmarket value. Thus, this could seem like a financing deal implying a 5.3 per cent annual interest.

    Standard Chartered (2.6% weight) reported full year results with pretax profit of USD 6.1bn (+19% YoY) and

    EPS of USD 1.96 (+16% YoY), in-line with expectations. Tangible book value per share of USD 12.74 (+20%HoH) was better than expected. The groups P&L impairment charge fell to 40bp in 2H10 with 2H10 nonperforming loans at 1.9%. The consumer bank NPL declined 15bps HoH in 2H to 1.0%, while Wholesale NPL of2.6% has a 50% NPL cover. The core Tier 1 ratio of 11.8% was better than expected. CASA now supports 37%of the groups funded assets. STAN left guidance for 2011 unchanged, expecting double digit income growth in2011 and beyond, and 2011 income and cost growth to be in-line excluding USD180m in UK bank levy.

    Great Wall Motor (2.3% weight) announced impressively strong 2H10 results. Net profit was RMB 1,839mversus 859m in 1H10 and 760m in 2H09, lifted by tax credits. Pretax profit was RMB 1,891m versus 1,147m in

    1H10 and 616m in 2H10. This was 30% above consensus of RMB 1,455m and our estimate of 1,807m. Thestrong result was driven by 1) stronger than expected ASP (up HoH for all 3 categories) and good cost control.Sales rose 80% YoY in 2H10.

    Great Wall Motor also announced that February sales rose 21% YoY driven by a 29% growth in sedan sales withhigh-margin SUV sales +17%. This brings year-to-date sales to 47%. Chinese car sales had a weak month with agrowth of 3%, diluted by one less working day and early timing of the Chinese New Year versus February 2010.

    China Mobile (2.3% weight) reported good 2H10 results, with revenues up 7% YoY and 11% HoH to RMB255bn. Voice was a little weaker than expected, being up 6% HoH, while VAS were up a strong 23% HoH. 2Hoperating profit of RMB77bn was in-line, with margins of 30.3% (-160bps HoH). 2H EPS of RMB3.1 (+9% HoH)beat consensus slightly. A stabilization of ARPU of RMB72/month in 2H was a key positive together with thestatement that they didnt loose many high-end users. They are leading the 3G subscriber growth challenge with41% market share of net adds giving them 21m users (3.5% of total users). The reluctance of the company toincrease the dividend payout (43%) and a 35% increase in capex guidance to RMB132bn (+6.5% YoY) were thenegatives from these results.

    Sabanci Holding (2.2% weight) posted a net profit of TRY 477m for 4Q10 versus TRY 85m in 4Q09m and TRY278m in 3Q10. This was ahead of consensus at TRY 338m, driven higher operating results and one-off assetrevaluation gains.

    Sabanci also announced that its subsidiary, Exsa Export, will buy 5% of outstanding shares in the next year.Management commented that it is not happy with the discount to NAV, estimated at 30% pre-announcement,and will jump-start a share buy-back through a subsidiary ahead of the general share buy-back law which isexpected to be put in place from 2012. Pre-announcement, the buy-back would cost TRY 656m. Financing is notan issue amid a net cash position both in holding and Exsa Export.

    ABB (2.0% weight) received a USD 900m order from India to deliver a 1728 km transmission network to PowerGrid Corporation of India.

    Equinox Minerals (2.0% weight) reported 4Q10 results largely in-line with expectations. Adjusted EPS of USD0.15 (+7% QoQ) beat consensus of USD 0.12, but CEPS was USD 0.16 (+36% QoQ) compared to expectationsof USD0.17, due to lower grades and higher diesel costs. As previously released, they produced 34k of copper inconcentrate at a cash cost of USD1.64/lb in 4Q. They kept their 2011 production guidance of 145k copper at acash cost of USD1.45/lb. With only 9% of 2011 production hedged, they are set to benefit from the high copperprices. Construction at Jabal Sayid is now expected to commission 1H12, a slight delay from previous guidance.

    The Lumwana expansion study is expected by 2Q11 and the Lundin takeover approach are the next catalysts.

    Seadrill (1.8% weight) announced that its 75% owned subsidiary, North Atlantic Drilling, has entered into acontract with Jurong shipyard for the construction of a high-spec JU rig for an all-in cost of USD 530m to bedelivered in 3Q 2013.

    Mahindra & Mahindra (1.5% weight) reported continuous strong March sales data with auto sales up 19% YoY(+25% for FY 2010/2011) and tractor sales +23% YoY (+22% for FY 2010/2011).

    Indosat (1.5% weight) reported 4Q10 results highlights, with dull details due on March 24. Revenues of IDR4953bn (-4% QoQ, -3% YoY) were a little below expectations due to weak mobile revenues on the back ofongoing price promotions. EBITDA was in-line (-1% QoQ, +2% YoY), with margins improving by 170bp QoQ to50.4% due to cost management. Net income fell 52% QoQ, and while no details were given we believe this wasdue to FX and interest rate hedging derivatives, higher interest rate costs and depreciation expenses. A YoYimprovement in operating cash flow was a positive.

    Cosan (1.2% weight) finally announced the long awaited details of their expectations of the new JV with Shell(Raizen), with expected synergies of BRL3.4bn, or more than twice the consensus expectation of aroundBRL1.5bn. This is split into commercial synergies of BRL1.4bn (product mix/larger scale), financial synergies ofBRL400m and logistics/distribution/trading of BRL1.7bn. They expect the fuel distribution segment to deliver anEBITDA of BRL950m in FY12 and BRL1220m in FY13. This is obviously very good news, and it should have apositive impact as Cosan will now go from being a cyclical sugar stock to a diversified agriculture/energy playwith a less cyclical cash flow.

    Aveng (1.2% weight) reported weak 1H 2010/2011 results with an EPS of ZAR 1.07 or down 35% YoY, which

    was in the low end of guidance. Excluding non-recurring items, EPS declined 17% driven by FX losses withunderlying EBIT down 9% YoY impacted by two loss-making contracts in Australia which reduced contributionfrom its Australian subsidiary with 50%. Net cash declined by ZAR 2bn to 5.6bn HoH owing partly to a negativenet working capital development of ZAR 0.8m. The order book rose by ZAR 1bn HoH to 32bn. The outlook for 2H2010/2011 looks slightly more positive.

    Harbin Power Equipment (0.7% weight) reported a net profit of RMB 578m for 2H10 versus 391m for 2H09.This was well above consensus driven by strong cost control and lower material costs, which improved the grossmargin for 2010 by 1.6pp to 12.8%.

    of revenues. Nuclear orders, representing 18% of the backlog, are all domestic and approved by NDRC andtherefore not subject to risk amid the recent suspension of new project approvals following the Japan reactormelt down. Management expects the 2011 gross margin to at least track 2010 while other operating costs shouldalso decline as per cent of sales.

    JSE (0.7% weight) revealed 2010 results that were a little disappointing, with fully diluted EPS of ZAR 4.3 (-5%YoY). This was despite inline revenue growth of 9%, and EBITDA margins expanding to 39%. Thedisappointment came from an additional impairment charge (ZAR24m) on top of a higher tax rate. A veryconservative dividend coverage decrease from 2.2x to 2.1x was also disappointing (DPS of 2.1 compared to 1.9last year), given their strong cash generation and the fact that they are in a strong cash position (ZAR 1bn). Thenumber of trades in January and February is up 18% YoY, compared to 13% for the full year, with the averagevalue per trade remaining constant at ZAR126k. The recent turmoil in global markets is positive for exchanges astrading volumes tend to rise on the back of negative investor sentiment.

    Korean Reinsurance (0.6% weight) said the potential impact from earthquake in Japan: given that theiroverseas business portion is less than 20%, and the Japanese portion is less than 1% among the overallinsurance portfolio, hence we expect limited claim costs. Korean Reinsurance is also normally insured by otherglobal reinsurers to prevent large claim costs from catastrophe events. They have said that the probablemaximum loss is less than KRW 5bn due to the retrocession and the loss amount exceed 5bn will be covered byother global reinsurers. For comparison, 2011 expected net income is around KRW 220bn.

    Tullow Oil (0.6% weight) announced full year results with fully diluted EPS of USD6.1, less than expected due tohigher than expected exploration write offs (USD155m) and net finance charges. Net debt of USD1.9bn was in-line, while dividends were kept flat YoY at USD 6 per share. Focus however was on the significant upsidepotential from the aggressive development and exploration potential over the next year. According to pressreports (but not confirmed by the company), the re-elected Ugandan government has resolved a tax dispute thatshould now allow them to bring Total SA and China National Offshore Oil Company into its oil projects in the EastAfrican country.

    Tullow also said theyve encountered good quality reservoir sands in the Enyenra 2a well offshore Ghana. Theyhit two channels; an upper 21-meter net sand channel and a lower 13-meter lower sand channel, which seems tobe in communication with the reservoirs discovered in the original Owo-1 well, which de-risks this complex field.They are however keeping the fields gross resource range unchanged until further analysis is conducted.

    Tullow finally signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ugandan Government to resolve the USD400mcapital gains tax dispute. Following this, Tullow announced they have finally signed the farm down of 66% of theirLake Albert acreage to Total and CNOOC for a cash consideration of USD2.93bn (in-line with expectations), withan implied value of USD4.5/boe. Some procedural approvals are still required, like approval by the Chinese

    government. The tax dispute with the Uganda Government has been resolved (at least temporary) according topress reports, whereby Tullow will pay USD469m in tax, which includes USD313m for Heritage plus 30% of thetax bill related to the CNOOC/Total farm down.

    EFG-Hermes Holding (0.5% weight) net profit for 4Q10 was EGP 32m versus EGP 88m in 3Q10 and EGP 85min 4Q09. This was slightly lower than expected due to weak commission income both from investment banking (-45% QoQ), asset management (+60% QoQ) and brokerage (+20% QoQ), while newly acquired Credit Libanais(65% owned) reported strong results with net profit +52% for 2010, leading to a 17% RoE.

    Provida (0.5% weight) reported an EPS of USD 1.67 in 4Q10 versus USD 2.63 in 3Q10 and RoE was 24%. Thedecline is mainly related to lower return on required investments of its equity into the pension funds. With an EPSof USD 4.3 for 2H10, this bodes well for a high final dividend to be announced in April.

    DRB Hicom (0.5% weight) won the long awaited USD2.5bn contract for the design, development andmanufacturing of 257 armored vehicles from the Malaysias Government.

    DRB-Hicom has also been shortlisted together with 2 other firms to buy Khazanah Nasional Bhds 32.2% stake in

    Pos Malaysia. At current market values a potential acquisition would equal 13% of DRBs cap (MYR 600m),which is still less than their net cash position. Pos Malaysia provides postal and related services and trades on2011 P/E of 14x compared to DRB at 7.5x. It was also reported that they plan to develop their Rebak IslandResort further through an extension to the hotel, developing private beaches for guests and opening a spa.

    Enka Insaat (0.4% weight) reported a net profit of USD 2+6m for 4Q10 versus 240m in 4Q10. This was in linewith consensus. EBITDA of USD 237m was down markedly on USD 376m in 4Q09 driven by a sharp correctionin contribution from the contracting business. However, higher non-operating income limited the decline in thebottom line. Net cash increased by USD 86m to USD 1,380m sequentially (now 17% of market cap). The backlog

    improved slightly to an estimated USD 5.5bn at year-end 2010 and should now stand at USD c6.2bn after recentorder wins.

    Royal Unibrew (0.4% weight) reported a better than expected net profit for 4Q10 of DKK 68 versus DKK -37m in4Q09 and consensus of DKK 43m. The beat was mainly related to lower tax charge. FCF was strong and netdebt declined to DKK 770m versus the guided 850m. This allows for higher payback and the companyannounced a DPS of DKK 12.5 and an additional DKK 110m in share buy-back (DKK 9.8 per share) bringingtotal pay out to 90%. Unibrew guided for sales of DKK 3.4-3.55bn (down from 2010 due to deconsolidation ofPoland and the Caribbean operation) and EBIT before special items of DKK 435-485m (DKK 417m in 2010)

    which was in line with consensus. Golar LNG Energy (0.4% weight) reported weak 4Q10 results with EBITDA of USD 1m versus 3m in 3Q10. The

    company reported that it was pre-qualified for two FSRU projects in 4Q10; one in Indonesia and one in Bahrain.GOLE has 3 vessels with potential for conversion to FSRU and is also considering new-building.

    Asia Cement China (0.3% weight) reported a strong 2H10 net profit of RMB 371m versus 287m in 2H09. This

    was a strong recovery from 140m in 1H10 driven by higher cement prices. Energy efficiency focus of thegovernment, which requires a shutdown of less efficient capacity, is leading to improved pricing with currentprices in most of its regions up c20% versus 4Q10.

    Ghana Commercial Bank (0.3% weight) reported further progress in 4Q10 with a net profit of GHS 20.3mversus 3Q10 of 18.3m.

Operating incomewas up 63% YoY despite a 20% increase in operating expenses, leading to a sharp drop in the cost to incomeratio from 70% to 51%. Funding costs were down 23% for the year.

    Aberdeen Asset Management (0.2% weight) released a pre-close trading update for January and February.Inflows were better than expected, with GBP 0.2bn (GBP 1.0bn for equities), while performance took away GBP7.3bn (a little weaker than expected), leading to AuM of GBP 176.2bn (-4% since December).

    Aquarius Platinum (0.2% weight) was hit by the announcement of the requirements for the implementation ofthe Indigenisation Act for the mining sector by Zimbabwe. This requires a controlling interest of 51% of theshares in issue to be held by indigenous Zimbabweans, with the value to be based on an agreement betweenthe Minister and the businesses concerned. However, they also noted it should take into account the States

    sovereign ownership of the minerals exploited or to be exploited. Aquarius asset Mimosa is a 50:50 JV withImpala Platinum. Mimosas long life and low cost production makes it an important contributor for Aquarius. It isexpected to contribute 35% of their aggregate production until 2035, but with a higher share of EPS. It isobviously unlikely that they will achieve the fair value in a forced sale.

    Valuation of the SKAGEN Kon-Tiki portfolio

    We have raised our 2011 estimates for Great Wall Motor while we downgraded our

    forecast for Aveng. We have made no changes to any target prices this month.

    We expect our 35 largest holdings to report a median EPS growth of 22% for 2011ewhich is in line with consensus for the EM universe at 21%.

    The 35 largest positions now trade at a weighted P/E of 7.8x for 2011e. This is aconsiderable discount to Emerging Markets trading at a P/E of 11.5x for 2011e.

    The weighted trailing P/BV for the 35 largest positions is 1.2x. This is substantiallylower than the P/BV of 2.1x for the emerging markets index.

    We see a weighted average upside of 40% for our 35 largest positions. At thistarget, these positions (representing 78% of the portfolio) would trade at a 2011eP/E of 10.6x and a trailing P/BV of 1.8x. This would still be a meaningful discount tothe current emerging markets valuation.

    when it comes to global economic growth. This development is fuelled by Brazil,China, India and Indonesia. Convergence in standard of living continues with rapidincrease in real incomes in emerging markets and increased savings rates in theindustrialised countries.

    Domestic consumption and infrastructure investments will continue to be the mostimportant drivers of growth in the Asian countries.

    Earnings growth was high going into 2010 as a result of comparison effects; signs ofinflation now result in tightening policy in the emerging markets; a huge contrast tothe situation in many industrialised countries.

    The emerging markets proved in 2010 that they were more dependent on intra-EM

    trade and less dependent on demand from industrialised countries.

    Outlook for emerging markets (2)

    Earnings growth for companies in emerging markets continued at a strong pace in

    2010. Expectations for 2011 have been stable in recent months at a growth rate of17%.

    Emerging markets are now priced at a slight P/E and P/BV discount to the historicalaverage, but the valuation is considerably lower than at historical peaks. It does notreflect the higher return on equity and higher growth rates of emerging marketsequities.

    Low interest rates globally boost the hunt for good investments and yield.

    Continued globalisation provides larger flow of capital into the emerging markets;this increases both the depth and the breadth of the market place and availableinvestment options.

    Risk factors for emerging markets

    A thawing of the financial markets has not rubbed off onto borrowers and lendersin industrialised countries. A potential tightening of the capital requirements in the

    global banking sector may further amplify this.

    Inflation may rise on the back of high commodity prices (metals and agriculture).Idle capacity in industrialised countries will keep inflation down, but growthsurprises in EM may give increased fear of inflation.

    The new world order may cause increased systemic friction. Increasedprotectionism and a tendency towards regulating currency markets after a strongrise in emerging markets currencies in 2009. High unemployment in industrialisedcountries and an undervalued Chinese currency may lead to protectionismpressure and measures.

    The valuation of emerging markets becomes prohibitively high both in relative andabsolute terms, just like in the early 1990s.

    Strong EM currencies may yield negative earnings surprises in 2011 for exportoriented companies.
