Outside of the important India and Indonesia, for me AAS pips the others to the post - Why?

1. Has the smallest percentage in China, Fidelity Asia has over double the percentage.

2.The largest percentage in Vietnam.

3. I also like how AAS has 9.9% invested in Malaysia and 7.1% in Thailand.

4. How also has none of its investment is in the USA as both Fidelity Asia and Scottish Oriental have.

AASC gives the right to convert at £2.93 per AAS share up to 2025 and gives downside protection of £1

I am considering getting into AAS.

I used to own some CULS years ago for Utilico, now UIL Ltd, (UTL) but the rules were simpler than for these with what appear to be floating conversion terms.

Any cheap advice on either buying only AAS or a mix of AAS and AASC?

Aberdeen Standard Asia Focus

Share prices of smaller companies in Asia rose in June, chalking up further gains for the second-quarter. Optimism about the nascent economic rebound bolstered sentiment amid further relaxing of COVID-19 lockdowns. However, worries over the ensuing resurgence in new infections in several countries tempered the mood. Geopolitical risks also ratcheted higher.

We are cautious about the near-term outlook for global markets, given the apparent disconnect between equity prices and economic and corporate fundamentals. With the pace of recovery still uncertain, the sharp rally in equities feels a little ‘too much, too soon’. Governments are grappling with the delicate balancing act of re-opening economies while avoiding a resurgence in COVID-19 infections. What looks increasingly clear is that prolonged lockdowns are proving too costly for many emerging economies. Complicating matters further is the spike in US-China tensions, with the rift broadening out to areas other than trade. Notably, we are paying close heed to the rivalry in technology, which could disrupt smartphone supply chains and delay the rollout of 5G networks. In such a climate, it is no surprise that the outlook for corporate earnings has worsened. Many companies have lowered their profit forecasts, while dividend and capital spending are being cut where possible.

In spite of all this, Asia remains well-positioned as the powerhouse of global growth. Smaller companies in the region have also not featured as prominently as recipients of investment flows, meaning valuations remain relatively attractive. Our focus continues to be on good quality companies that are able to weather the current storm. We believe the portfolio’s defensive characteristics, with companies exhibiting balance sheet strength, visible revenue streams and healthy profit margins, will be invaluable. We also favour market-leading businesses that are hitched to structural growth drivers in Asia. This encompasses trends that have boomed during the pandemic, such as e-commerce and greater adoption of technology, alongside longer-term shifts, including rising demand for healthcare and infrastructure. Our aim will be to take advantage of market gyrations, putting capital to work in our highest-conviction ideas while exiting those with declining prospects.

The CULS pay a dividend and may be eventually converted, but they would cost £1 each and there is nothing to sell now is there?

In the papers:



Exert:

“..........City Union Bank benefited from [Indian] Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s demonetisation policy that drove consumers holding cash to place them in bank deposits instead and Tisco Financial was lifted by improving asset quality that outpaced that of the larger lenders,” the report said.

“Separately, Tisco bought Standard Chartered’s Thai retail operations, which will be integrated into the group. The move, which we view positively, is in line with its long-term strategy.”

Trust chairman Nigel Cayzer said India generally is presenting good investment opportunities for the trust, thanks to an “acceleration in economic growth”.

China, on the other hand, is less attractive “owing to concerns over corporate governance and quality of smaller companies there”.

Mr Cayzer added that the trust’s board is proposing a 12p final dividend for the year, which would take the total to 16p per share.

If approved by shareholders that would represent a 52 per cent increase on the 10.5p paid out in 2016.

The board is also proposing to pay a special dividend of 4p per share.

Cheers. So assuming they don't go bust we get 3.5p dividend per annum for each one held and for two years we can exchange them at the rate of 8.3 CULS per ordinary share regardless of the underlying share price?

It doesn't look like a good way to get into AAS to me. I had a look at the prospectus and I read it that they convert at nominal price into a premium on the ordinaries NAV. Am I right? Here's their text illustration:

"By way of illustration, had the Conversion Price been set by
reference to the unaudited NAV (including income) per Ordinary Share at 18 April 2012 of 718.56p, the
Conversion Price would have been 825p and a holder of £1,000 nominal of CULS would have been
entitled to 121 Ordinary Shares on conversion of their CULS"

AASC is a cheaper way into this at its current price of £1.29 as it can convert to AAS
at the rate of 8.3 AASC to 1 AAS.Plus there is the higher div and protection too offered by the convertibles.
