The Taiwan Fund is diversified and intends to continue to diversify its assets over a broad spectrum of the ROC economy.

This includes, as conditions warrant from time to time, cement, chemicals and plastics, construction, electrical/electronics, finance, banking, food, textiles, glass, rubber, pulp and paper, metal products and machinery, retailing and tourism.

In selecting industries and companies for investment, Martin Currie, Inc*, the Fund`s adviser, will consider overall growth prospects, competitive position in export markers, technology, research and development, productivity, labor costs, raw material costs and sources, profit margins, return on investment, capital resources, government regulation, management and other factors.

The Fund`s equity investments will generally be predominantly in common stocks, but investments may also be made in non-common stocks, for example preferred stocks (several of which are presently listed on the TSE) and in convertible debentures listed on the TSE.

*Effective from May 8 2010, Martin Currie, Inc. became investment adviser.
