HIMALAYAN FUND N.V - HALF YEARLY RESULTS
Directors' Report, First Half-year 2016
The Fund
The Net Asset Value (NAV) per share of your Fund was US$52.80 on June 30th
2016, 4.3% higher than the closing NAV of $50.64
on December 31st, 2015. Over the same period the Fund's performance benchmark,
the re-named Nifty50 USD index gained 2.3%.
Thus, your Fund outperformed its benchmark by 2%. For comparison purposes,
the Transaction Price on Euronext Amsterdam for
the Fund's shares was US$52.99 at the end of the period compared to $50.45
at the beginning, a rise of 5%. Over the comparable
period, the benchmark index rose by 3.1%, including Rupee depreciation of
1.9% against the US dollar.
The number of Ordinary Shares held by third parties on December 31, 2015
was 207,748; by mid-year, this had fallen to 170,321.
The net turnover in the Fund's Ordinary Shares in the first half of this
year was 22%. Investment in emerging markets demands long-
term commitment and in the first half of 2016, India provided a modest reward
which your Fund exceeded for shareholders who
stayed the course. We commend our long-standing shareholders for their commitment
and thank them for their continuing loyalty.
The Market
The first half of 2016 began with the worst opening month's performance in
equity markets for many years. A collapse in oil prices
and in Chinese GDP growth as well as mounting concern about an economic slowdown
in the US undermined global equities. This
background drove the MSCI All Countries World Index down more than 6% and
the MSCI Pacific ex-Japan index down 7.9%. The
MSCI India Index fell by 6.9% that month, closer to the World index than
regional comparatives. This started a differentiation of its
markets from others consistent with India's emergence as the fastest growing
large economy in the world. It also prefaced a
recovery in foreign portfolio investment in India which supported its markets
through the later part of the half-year.
By the end of the half-year, the MSCI World and Pacific ex-Japan indices
had recovered to within half a percent either side of their
starting points. The Chinese economy proved to be adjusting to a sub-7% GDP
growth trajectory and the oil price recovered to the
$40-50 range. The US economy disappointed doom-mongers but failed to support
expectations of a rapid ratcheting up of policy
rates. The pace of employment creation, in particular, was highly volatile,
dampening prospects of supply-side inflation emerging as
a basis for further rate increases. At the time of writing, some forecasts
of the next Fed funds rate increase have disappeared into
2017 while sustained dollar strength may create a headwind for US exporters
and dampen the corporate earnings outlook.
Meanwhile, the Indian economy has seen GDP growth slowly rising towards 8%
as the IMF has been progressively cutting global
growth forecasts below the 3% rate. The RBI cut the repo rate by 25 basis
points in April, following a Union Budget which affirmed
the government's commitment to fiscal consolidation. The central bank's "accommodative"
stance was confirmed at the June
Monetary Policy review but emerging food price pressure discouraged it from
cutting rates any further. The central bank has also
improved liquidity conditions for banks following its stringent application
of loan-loss provisioning requirements for the fiscal year-
end on March 31st. Banks had only transmitted half of the recent 150 basis-point
relaxation of policy rates.
The return of 2.3% for the Nifty50 USD index distinguished Indian markets
in the first half-year. A recovery in foreign investor
sentiment was a key influence, supported by fiscal consolidation, consumer
demand, especially in urban areas and public sector
investment. Particularly notable has been the Modi government's attention
to clearing long-delayed infrastructure projects which had
been embroiled in obstructive administrative clearance procedures.
Your Fund's 200 basis points of outperformance was generated by pursuing
our long-term approach of selecting stocks with high
quality earnings prospects at reasonable valuations which demonstrate high
standards of governance. During the course of the
period under review, we held a total of twenty five stocks, with an average
of twenty holdings. Fifteen of our holdings outperformed
the benchmark and ten underperformed. From a top-down perspective, we have
consistently held overweight positions in Consumer
orientated and Healthcare stocks. We have been around level weight in IT
stocks and close to an index weight in Financials. In this
case, however, we have concentrated on private sector banks and progressively
eliminated stocks with riskier loan books,
concentrating eventually in just two of the highest quality banks.
The biggest contributions to performance came from Pidilite Industries (+25.5%),
VIP Industries (+12%) and Nestle India (+11.2%)
in the Consumer sector. Heidelberg Cement added 77.9%, Supreme Industries
31.8% and Indraprashtha Gas 18%. Our two
remaining banks also contributed: HDFC Bank 13.3% and Kotak Mahindra Bank
5.1%. On the downside, our Healthcare holdings
suffered from negative reports about USFDA inspections and approvals of generic
patent applications. Lupin lost 16.6% and
Torrent Pharma lost 5.2%. In Financials, ICICI Bank lost 8.8% and Magma Fincorp
18.9%.
By the end of the half-year, our portfolio was overweight in IT, Industrials,
Construction, Consumer, Healthcare and Media stocks.
Our significant underweight sectors were Energy and Financials while we held
no stocks at all in the Telecom, Metals and Transport
sectors. Prospects for future returns are now framed by the excellent sowing
season nearing completion in, so far, above average
monsoon rains. There has also been a further boost to sentiment generated
by the recent passage of the government's GST Bill,
paving the way for progress towards a single market in India as a multitude
of inter-state duties and taxes are replaced by a single
national indirect tax.
The Directors are convinced that the return prospects for foreign investors
investing in India are excellent in the medium term. We
also believe the Fund is in an excellent position to capture these returns
while benefitting from the favourable tax position it enjoys as
well as the liquidity provided by the stock exchange listings the Fund maintains.
Administration
The Fund's website provides access to all regulatory and statutory information
on the Fund, the address is:
www.himalayanfund.nl
On June 16, the AGM of the Fund was held in Amsterdam; the Annual Report
for 2015 was adopted by unanimous vote and the
Directors were discharged from their responsibilities for the year.
After completing the routine Agenda for the AGM, the Chairman gave a description
of the outlook for the Indian economy and the
investment strategy of the Fund for the benefit of the audience and answered
a number of their questions.
Conclusion
The Directors would like to thank shareholders for their continuing support
for the Fund. In compliance with regulatory requirements,
the Directors review the Synthetic Risk and Reward Indicator (SRRI) on a
regular basis. As at June 30th, the calculation puts the
Fund in Category 5, one category lower than last year. Consistent positive
monthly returns continue to drive the SRRI percentage
down; we are now at the top of Category 5. The Directors consider it unlikely
that the SRRI classification will drop to a lower category
in due course. It would not be unusual for a fund investing in emerging market
equities to have a higher risk rating and the Directors
remind shareholders of the risk statements in the Fund's Prospectus which
is available for download from the Fund's website.

Notes
1 General
Himalayan Fund N.V. ('the Fund') is an open-end investment company (in
Dutch: beleggingsmaatschappij met veranderlijk
kapitaal) incorporated under Dutch law and has its statutory seat in
Amsterdam. The Fund is listed both on NYSE Euronext
Amsterdam and on The London Stock Exchange.
This semi annual report is prepared in accordance with Part 9 Book 2
of the Dutch Civil Code and the Act on the Financial
Supervision (AFS) ("Wet op het financieel toezicht"). Since December
1991 the Fund is licensed to undertake investment
activities according to the Act on the Financial Supervision.
2. Principles of
valuation
2.1 Investments
The investments are valued based on the following principles:
- listed securities are valued at the most recent stock market price
as at the end of the accounting period which can be
considered fair
value;
- non or low marketable securities are, according to the judgement of
the Investment Committee, valued at the best effort
estimated price, taking into account the standards which the Investment
Committee thinks fit for the valuation of such
investments.
Expenses related to the purchase of investments are included in the
cost of investments.
Sales charges, if any, are deducted from gross proceeds and will be
expressed in the capital gains/losses.
2.2 Foreign currency translation
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into US
dollars at the rate of exchange as at the balance sheet date.
All exchange differences are taken to the profit and loss account. Income
and expenses in foreign currencies are translated
at the exchange rate as per transaction date.
Rates of exchange as at June 30, 2016, equivalent of 1 US dollar:
Euro 0.90013 Srilanka Rupee 145.65003
Indian Rupee 67.49503 Bangladesh Taka 78.37499
----------------------------------- ---------- --------------------- -----------
2.3 Other assets
and liabilities
Other assets and liabilities are stated at nominal value. If required,
provisions have been taken for irrecoverable receivables.
2.4 Income recognition principles
The result is determined by deducting expenses from the proceeds of
dividend, interest and other income in the period under
review. The realized revaluations of investments are determined by deducting
the purchase price from the sale proceeds.
The unrealized revaluations of investments are determined by deducting
the purchase price or the balance sheet value
at the start of the period under review from the balance sheet value
at the end of the period under review.
Brokerage fees payable on the acquisition of investments, if any, are
considered to be part of the investments costs,
and as a result, are not taken to the profit and loss account.
2.5 Cash flow statement
The Cash Flow statement has been prepared according to the indirect
method.
3. Risk Management
Investing in emerging and developing markets carries risks that are
greater than those associated with investment in
securities in developed markets. In particular, prospective investors
should consider the following:
3.1 Currency Fluctuations
The Fund invests primarily in securities denominated in local currencies
whereas the Ordinary Shares are quoted in US
dollars. The US dollar price at which the Ordinary Shares are valued
is therefore subject to fluctuations in the US dollar/ local
currency exchange
rate.
3.2 Counterparty Risk
The Fund deals principally in listed stocks traded on the BSE and the
NSE in India.
All transactions are book-entry and settlement is fully automated. In
the event of non-delivery by either side, the
transaction fails. In this case recovery can be achieved by delivery
against payment or the transaction abandoned.
3.3 Concentration Risk
The investment restrictions for the Fund in section IX INVESTMENT POLICIES
of the Prospectus, limit the possibility
for concentration of risk by stock and sector. Investors should note
that the portfolio will be concentrated in the Indian
sub-continent.
3.4 Market Volatility
Securities exchanges in emerging markets are smaller and subject to greater
volatility than those in developed markets.
The Indian market has in the past experienced significant volatility
and there is no assurance that such volatility will not
occur in the future.
3.5 Market Liquidity
A substantial proportion of market capitalization and trading value in
emerging markets can be represented by a relatively
small number of issuers. Also, there is a lower level of regulation and
monitoring of the activities of investors, brokers and
other market participants than in most developed markets. Disclosure
requirements may be less stringent and there may
be less public information available about corporate activity. As a result,
liquidity may be impaired at times of high volatility.
The Indian markets have withstood high volatility in the recent past
and recovered momentum because of excellent corporate
results. This has shown that the liquidity in the shares of the top companies
is strong, as further emphasized by demand for
those shares through Depository Receipts in overseas markets. Furthermore,
standards of governance and transparency are
improving dramatically under the impetus of the regulatory bodies. Other
contiguous markets are not necessarily the same
and the Fund only invests in them with the utmost care.
3.6 Fund Liquidity
The Fund's rules allow weekly purchases and sales of Ordinary Shares
but in order to allow orderly management of the
portfolio in the interest of continuing shareholders, the value of purchases
may be limited to 5% of the net asset value of
the Fund on any one Execution Day.
3.7 Political Economy
The Fund's portfolio may be adversely affected by changes in exchange
rates and controls, interest rates, government
policies, inflation, taxation, social and religious instability and regional
geo-political developments.
3.8 Legal and Regulatory Compliance
The Fund is responsible for ensuring that no action taken by it or by
any contracted service provider might cause a breach
of any legal or regulatory requirement. The Fund and all of its service
providers maintain adequate control procedures to
guard against any such occurrence and these procedures are subject to
regular review. Should such a breach occur
inadvertently, control procedures should detect it and institute corrective
action without delay.
3.9 Financial Crisis
Almost uniquely amongst financial markets, the Indian financial sector
was insulated against any consequences of the
recent financial crisis by the tight control exercised by the RBI. Bank
balance sheets were free of toxic assets and capital
ratios were maintained. Ratios of non-performing assets remained within
historic norms.
3.10 Credit risk
The principal credit risk is counterparty default (i.e., failure by the
counterparty to perform as specified in the contract) due to
financial impairment or for other reasons. Credit risk is generally higher
when a nonexchange-traded or foreign
exchange-traded financial instrument is involved. Credit risk is reduced
by dealing with reputable counterparties. The Fund
manages credit risk by monitoring its aggregate exposure to counterparties.
