Chairman’s Statement
As at 30 June 2019, the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of Ashmore Global Opportunities Limited (the “Company” or “AGOL”) was US$19.9m compared to US$30.5m at 31 December 2018. The NAVs per share were US$4.10 and £3.76 as at 30 June 2019, down from US$5.05 and £4.73 respectively at the end of 2018. The share prices stood at US$4.04 and £3.12 as at 30 June 2019.
The main detractor to performance was a mark-down in the value of Microvast. This was off-set somewhat by a mark-up in AEI. Further details on the underlying exposures of the Company are given in the Investment Manager’s Report.
There were further realisations during the reporting period: Kulon in Russia and the final asset in Everbright in China were sold completely, and AEI paid a dividend. The Board approved a distribution to Shareholders of US$4.7m on 13 May 2019, with a payment date of 13 June 2019.
The Investment Manager is working towards the sale of the remaining assets, with a particular focus on the two largest exposures of the Company, namely Microvast and AEI. Your Board receives regular updates on the operating performance and on progress with the sales processes.

Investment Manager’s Report
Performance
As at 30 June 2019, the NAVs per share of the US$ and £ classes stood at US$4.10 and £3.76 respectively, representing returns of -18.81% and -20.51% over the last six months.
Portfolio Review
The principal detractor to performance in the first half of 2019 was the mark-down in the value of Microvast by the independent valuation agent. This mark-down was due to a 60-70% reduction in Chinese subsidies for the customers who buy the EV batteries. This change in the subsidy scheme was noted in AGOL’s last annual report but turned out to be even larger than envisaged by the market. This has depressed margins. In addition, there is currently an oversupply of EV batteries in the Chinese market and further exports have to be found.
There were full realisations of the investments in Kulon and Everbright during H1 2019, at prices marginally above book values. AEI paid another dividend from its ongoing operations. The proceeds of these sales and dividend were distributed to shareholders in April 2019.
The two largest investee company exposures, Microvast and AEI, now account for around 80% of AGOL’s NAV as at 30 June 2019.
As noted above, Microvast’s gross margins have fallen due to the lower prices under the new e-bus subsidy policy. The company made small losses in Q1 and Q2 2019 and is working on obtaining further export orders, as well as follow-up orders in China. A full exit of this asset is envisaged in 2020/2021, probably through a pre or post IPO transaction.
Sales discussions are proceeding with Numero Uno in India.
Further details on the smaller holdings in the Company are given later in this Investment Manager’s Report.
Outlook
As described above, the focus remains on realising AGOL's remaining investments in an orderly manner, and we expect to make further progress on this. The general sentiment towards Emerging Markets (EM) has been improving, in spite of some recent market volatility, thus providing a more positive backdrop to realisations. Nevertheless, realisations are very much influenced by the attraction and circumstances of each individual asset.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements
1. Basis of Preparation
a) Statement of Compliance
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and on a going concern basis, despite the managed wind-down of the Company approved by the shareholders on 13 March 2013. The Directors have examined significant areas of possible financial going concern risk and are satisfied that no material exposures exist. The Directors consider that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and believe that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis despite the managed wind-down of the Company over the next few years.
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not include as much information as the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2018. Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are relevant to understanding the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the last annual financial statements.
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on
23 August 2019.
The Directors have assessed the impact of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (“AIFMD”) on the financial statements of the Company and have concluded that the Company is exempt from following Chapter V, Section 1, Articles 103 – 111 of the European Commission’s Level 2 Delegated Regulation on the basis of the operations of the Company: it being (i) a Non-EEA AIF, and (ii) not being marketed in the European Union, as defined by the Directive.
b) Judgements and Estimates
Preparing the unaudited condensed interim financial statements requires judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant judgements made in applying the Company’s accounting policies, and the key sources of estimation uncertainty, were the same as those that applied to the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2018.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Board has concluded that at present the managed wind-down of the Company has no significant impact on the valuation of the Company’s investments.
The accounting policies applied in these unaudited condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018. As disclosed in those Annual Financial Statements, IFRS 9, ‘Financial Instruments’ was applicable for financial reporting periods starting 1 January 2018. As such, these standards have been adopted by the Company, but have not materially affected the Company. There were no other new standards, interpretations or amendments to standards issued and effective for the period which materially impacted the Company.

c) Financial instruments carried at fair value - fair value hierarchy
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
For certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, prepaid/accrued expenses and other creditors, their carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments. The Company’s investments and financial derivative instruments are carried at market value, which approximates fair value.
The Company classifies financial instruments within a fair value hierarchy that prioritises the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including:
- quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
- quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active;
- inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
- inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by an observable market.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Inputs are used in applying various valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may include price information, volatility statistics, specific and broad credit data, liquidity statistics, and other factors. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgement. The Company considers observable data to be that market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.
The categorisation of a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Company’s perceived risk of that instrument.
Investments: Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and are therefore classified within Level 1, include active listed equities, certain U.S. government and sovereign obligations, and certain money market securities. The Company does not generally adjust the quoted price for such instruments, even in situations where it holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2. These may include government and sovereign obligations, government agency securities, corporate bonds, and municipal and provincial obligations.
Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently or not at all. Level 3 instruments may include private equity investments, certain loan agreements, less-liquid corporate debt securities (including distressed debt instruments) and collateralised debt obligations. Also included in this category are government and sovereign obligations, government agency securities and corporate bonds for which independent broker prices are used and information relating to the inputs of the price models is not observable.
When observable prices are not available; e.g. if an asset does not trade regularly, the Company may rely on information provided by any person, firm or entity including any professional person whom the Directors consider to be suitably qualified to provide information in respect of the valuation of investments and who is approved by the Custodian (an “Approved Person”). Approved Persons may include certain brokers and the Pricing Methodology and Valuation Committee (“PMVC”) of the Investment Manager.
The PMVC may provide assistance to the Administrator in determining the valuation of assets where the Administrator cannot determine a valuation from another source. These assets, which are classified within Level 3, may include all asset types but are frequently ‘Special Situations’ type investments, typically incorporating distressed, illiquid or private investments.
For these hard-to-value investments, the methodology and models used to determine fair value are created in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation (“IPEV”) guidelines. Smaller investments may be valued directly by the PMVC but material investments are valued by experienced personnel at an independent third-party valuation specialist. Such valuations are subject to review, amendment if necessary, then approval by the PMVC. The valuations are ultimately approved by the Directors and the auditors to a material extent in so far as they make up part of the NAV in the financial statements.
Valuation techniques used include the market approach, the income approach or the cost approach depending on the availability of reliable information. The market approach generally consists of using; comparable transactions, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (“EBITDA”) multiples; or enterprise value (“EV”) multiples (based on comparable public company information). The use of the income approach generally consists of the net present value of estimated future cash flows, adjusted as deemed appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors.
Inputs used in estimating the value of investments may include the original transaction price, recent transactions in the same or similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalisations and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity or debt capital markets and bids received from potential buyers.
For the determination of the NAV, Level 3 investments may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability. However, any such adjustments are typically reversed in the financial statements where it is determined that this is required by the accounting standards.
The Company believes that its estimates of fair value are appropriate, however estimates and assumptions concerning the future, by definition, seldom equal the actual results and the estimated value may not be realised in a current sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. The use of different methodologies, assumptions or inputs would lead to different measurements of fair value and given the number of different factors affecting the estimate, specific sensitivity analysis cannot be reliably quantified.
Financial Derivative Instruments: Financial derivative instruments can be exchange-traded or privately negotiated over-the-counter (“OTC”). Exchange-traded derivatives, such as futures contracts and exchange-traded option contracts, are typically classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on whether or not they are deemed to be actively traded.
OTC derivatives, including forwards, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps and currency swaps, are valued by the Company using observable inputs, such as quotations received from the counterparty, dealers or brokers, whenever these are available and considered reliable. In instances where models are used, the value of an OTC derivative depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument as well as the availability and reliability of observable inputs. Such inputs include market prices for reference securities, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, prepayment rates and correlations of such inputs. Certain OTC derivatives, such as generic forwards, swaps and options, have inputs which can generally be corroborated by market data and are therefore classified within Level 2.
Those OTC derivatives that have less liquidity or for which inputs are unobservable are classified within Level 3. While the valuations of these less liquid OTC derivatives may utilise some Level 1 and/or Level 2 inputs, they also include other unobservable inputs which are considered significant to the fair value determination.
The Company recognises transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 based on the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. This policy on the timing of recognising transfers is the same for transfers into a level as for transfers out of a level. There were no transfers between the three levels during the period ended 30 June 2019 and the year ended 31 December 2018.

Level 1 assets include the Ashmore SICAV 2 Global Liquidity US$ Fund.
Level 2 assets and liabilities include forward foreign currency contracts that are calculated internally using observable market data.
Level 3 assets include all unquoted Ashmore Funds (“Funds”), limited partnerships and unquoted investments. Investments in unquoted Funds and limited partnerships are valued on the basis of the latest NAV, which represents the fair value, as provided by the administrator of the unquoted Fund at the close of business on the relevant valuation day. Unquoted Funds have been classified as Level 3 assets after consideration of their underlying investments, lock-up periods and liquidity.

Valuation technique | Significant unobservable inputs | Range of estimates for unobservable inputs | Sensitivity to changes in significant unobservable inputs | |
| Equity in a private company | 6,979,727 | Discounted Cash Flows | Liquidity discount at adjusted equity level | - ** | The estimated fair value would increase if: - the liquidity discount were lower - the EV/EBITDA multiples were higher |
| Market approach using comparable traded multiples | Listed company EV/EBITDA multiple | - ** | |||
| Investments in unlisted Funds | 13,438,211 | Unadjusted NAV | Inputs to NAV* | US$0.02 to US$37.57 | The estimated fair value would increase if the NAV was higher |
| Balance as at 31 December 2018 US$ |

| Market approach using comparable traded multiples | Listed company EV/EBITDA multiple | - ** | |||
| Investments in unlisted Funds | 23,095,937 | Unadjusted NAV | Inputs to NAV* | US$0.02 to US$44.89 | The estimated fair value would increase if the NAV was higher |
* The Company has assessed whether there are any discounts in relation to lock-in periods that are impacting liquidity. There were no discounts in relation to lock-in periods as at 30 June 2019 and 31 December 2018.
** Information has not been included as these are commercially sensitive.
Unobservable inputs are developed as follows:
The Company believes that its estimates of fair value are appropriate; however the use of different methodologies or assumptions could lead to different measurements of fair value. For fair value investments in Level 3, changing one or more of the assumptions used to alternative assumptions could result in an increase or decrease in net assets attributable to investors. Due to the numerous different factors affecting the assets, the impact cannot be reliably quantified. It is reasonably possible on the basis of existing knowledge, that outcomes within the next financial period that are different from the assumptions used could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of affected assets.

10. Segmental Reporting
Although the Company has two share classes and invests in various investment themes, it is organised and operates as one business and one geographical segment, as the principal focus is on emerging market strategies, mainly achieved via investments in funds domiciled in Europe but investing globally. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Company as one segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the Company as a whole. Additionally, the Company’s performance is evaluated on an overall basis. The Company’s management receives financial information prepared under IFRS and, as a result, the disclosure of separate segmental information is not required.
11. Ultimate Controlling Party
In the opinion of the Directors and on the basis of shareholdings advised to them, the Company has no ultimate controlling party.
12. Involvement with Unconsolidated Structured Entities
The table below describes the types of structured entities that the Company does not consolidate but in which it holds an interest.
