The TCM Global Frontier fund limited the damage to a 1.43% decrease over the same period. This means that the relative outperformance has increased further. Since the start of the year, the ETF has decreased by 10.16%, while the fund still has a minor positive return of 0.03%. In August, we saw net inflow into the fund, which increased the number of outstanding shares by 22,204 shares to a total of 2,317,374. This is remarkable since Frontier Markets funds generally struggle with outflow in the past period. For example, the Global X Argentina Index saw 33% outflow (source: Bloomberg).The Merval Index in Argentina lost over 26% in euro in August. The benchmark has a weighting of more than 15%, while the fund has a 2.5% weight in Argentina for the first time. The underweight has contributed to the outperformance. In the past month we increased the allocation on the decline to Argentina. Meanwhile, the Argentine Central Bank has raised interest rates from 45% to 60%, to fight inflation of more than 30%.Thailand does not seem to suffer from the correction in emerging countries. The Thai Bath outperformed all other currencies in emerging markets and the Thai Stock Exchange Index showed an increase of 3.88% measured in euro. The low participation of foreign investors, the surplus on the current account and the large foreign exchange reserves are the reasons for this. One of our positions in the country, Hana Microelectronics, has recently increased considerably. In August the share price went up by more than 9%, making it the largest position within the fund. After the month's closing, we skimmed some profit and reduced the weight. The fund took up a new position in Glencore, active in the field of raw materials and agricultural products. The company derives a large part of its turnover from frontier countries in Asia and Africa and notes 8x the expected profit with a dividend yield of 5%. The fund currently holds (equally weighted) positions in 82 shares across 24 different countries. The countries with the largest weightings are Bangladesh (10.74%), Vietnam (10.71%) and Nigeria (8.27%). These markets currently have the most interesting high dividend stocks that meet the quality requirements. The fund can therefore deviate strongly from the benchmark. The fund will invest in stocks listed on the local exchanges of the Frontier Markets Universe. To set up the portfolio the fund will make a selection of countries on the basis of quantitative and qualitative screening. By using these selection criteria the fund will have a diversified portfolio invested in several countries and sectors. The equally weighted portfolio will be re-weighted and re-allocated on a periodically scale. The risk profile is high, due to investment in equities and Frontier Markets. To achieve its objective, the Fund invests 95% to 100% of its total assets through TCM Investment Funds Luxembourg in units of TCM Global Frontier High Dividend Equity (Lux). The Fund qualifies as feeder-structure. Trading: The fund is listed on Euronext, which means that the fund can be traded on trading days through any bank or broker.

    Fund Profile

    Despite increases in Vietnam and Bangladesh, sales pressures in Argentina and Nigeria caused the frontier 100 ETF toshow a decrease of 5.10% in August, based on total return in euro. The TCM Global Frontier fund limited the damage to a1.43% decrease over the same period. This means that the relative outperformance has increased further. Since the startof the year, the ETF has decreased by 10.16%, while the fund still has a minor positive return of 0.03%.
