Total Return Performance (as of November 28, 2008)
Total investment returns for the Fund's NAV and its share price
reflect changes in the value per share during the period and
assume that dividends and capital gains, if any, were reinvested.
Dividends and capital gains reinvested are on a net basis, after
the deduction of applicable taxes. The returns shown below for
the TCS and the MSCI Taiwan benchmark indices are also calculated
on a net basis but the TAIEX index is measured on a gross return
basis, with the full reinvestment of all dividends received.
