EPF Fund Family • As of June 2007, the company manages four investment funds in China, i.e., Quantitative Core Equity Fund, Dividend Equity Fund, New Growth Equity Fund and Money Market Fund; • The fund assets were invested in the Chinese equity and bond markets; • Denominated in RMB, the funds were distributed primarily by banks and brokerage firms to Chinese investors; • The total AuM of the four funds were RMB 6.63 billion as of May 31, 2007. 2

  4. Market Background Economy • The Chinese economy grew at a rate of around 10% in the last few years, mostly driven by infrastructure investment and domestic consumption needs; Real Estate • The government launched several austerity measures in 2005-2006 to curb the overheating real estate market especially in Beijing and Shanghai; Currency • The government adopted a more flexible foreign exchange mechanism in July 2005 which prompted the RMB to appreciate from the previous level of 8.27 to the current level of 7.65 to 1 US$. 3

  5. Recent Market Development • The most significant transformation of the Chinese stock market was the reform program of state-owned shares which began in mid 2005; • Record number of retail investors flocked to open security trading accounts, providing fresh capital which lifted the Chinese equity market to record high; • Fear of market bubble led many institutional investors to reduce equity exposure in recent weeks. 4

  6. QFII Update • The Chinese government introduced the QFII (Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors) program in 2003 in order to allow foreign capital to invest in the Chinese market in an orderly and controlled manner; • So far, there were 52 approved foreign institutions to use the QFII quota to invest in China with an approved amount of USD 10 billion; • The government recently indicated that the total QFII quota will be increased to USD 30 billion. 5

  7. QDII Update • QDII (Qualified Domestic Institutional Investors) program was launched by selected banks, insurance companies and fund management companies with government approval; • The program allows Chinese investors to invest in offshore markets, with Hong Kong as the current focus; • Investor interest to invest in US or other international markets is modest at this stage due to the hot local equity market and the concern about the appreciating RMB; • Overtime, we expect that Chinese investors will be more interested in QDII products as experience in Hong Kong and Taiwan will demonstrate. 6
