Commenting on the markets, Sam Vecht and Christopher Colunga, representing the 
Investment Manager noted; 
 
 Market Commentary 
 
 The MSCI Emerging Europe 10/40 Index returned +9.2% in December in USD terms. 
 The Company underperformed the index and was up +6.5% in USD terms. 
 
 Every country in the region posted positive performance led by Russia (+12.6%), 
 Poland (+8.1%) and Hungary (+7.6%); whilst Czech Republic (+3.5%), Turkey 
 (+2.4%) and Greece (+1.5%) rose to a lesser extent in December. 
 
 Russia was the best performing country in the region in December following the 
 30 November OPEC agreement to cut oil production, which saw oil rise 20%+ and 
 the Rouble strengthen almost 6% from pre-agreement levels. Financials in Poland 
 and Hungary performed well amidst rising global reflation expectations as the 
 Federal Reserve hiked rates 25 bps and surprised the market by projecting three 
 hikes in 2017 vs the previous two it had forecast in its September dot plot. In 
 Turkey the rebound was muted as declining PMI and GDP data, coupled with a 
 dovish central bank, lead to the Lira weakening further. Following a strong 
 November, Greece took a breather in December as European creditors suspended 
 proposed debt-relief measures for Greece after the Greek government surprised 
 by announcing it would boost welfare benefits for low-income pensioners. 
 Following talks between the Greek government and the European creditors the 
 suspension appears to be temporary, and may be reinstated in January. 
 
 Focus on: Sberbank 
 
 Sberbank is Russia's largest state-owned bank with branches throughout the 
 country and a 50% share in the retail deposit market. The stock has performed 
 well over the past year on the back of the Central Bank maintaining high rates, 
 the Russian macro recovery as well as the recent OPEC production cut agreement. 
 Additionally, the bank continues to build on its restructuring strategy which 
 has driven much of its success over the past few years, improving its services 
 and customer offering, enhancing its efficiency, and investing heavily in IT to 
 both modernise the bank and prepare it for the future evolution of investment 
 services. At the recent analyst day in December the bank gave much better 
 efficiency and cost targets than we had anticipated, suggesting the bank can 
 continue to deliver positive results over the next couple of years. Coupling 
 these improvements with one of the most attractive valuations in our markets 
 explains why we continue to believe that Sberbank is well positioned to perform 
 well.
