 Market Commentary 
 
 
 Market & Portfolio Performance 
 
 The MSCI Emerging Europe 10/40 Index fell by 4.1% in April 2018 (in US Dollar 
 terms), following developments in Turkey and Russia. The Company outperformed 
 the index over the period, with the NAV falling by 3.6% in US Dollar terms. 
 
 Markets in Turkey fell in April as the Turkish currency continued to weaken 
 reflecting increasingly challenging economic conditions. Politics also remain 
 an overhang with President Erdogan calling for an early presidential election, 
 which came as a surprise to the market. Russian markets sold off as Russia 
 faced new US sanctions targeting seven Russian oligarchs and 12 companies they 
 own or control, 17 senior Russian government officials, and a state-owned 
 Russian weapons trading company and its subsidiary, a Russian bank. US 
 sanctions primarily targeted Russia's commodities sector. 
 
 On the other hand, markets in Greece saw strong performance in April as the 
 Greek banks successfully passed the European Central Bank (ECB) stress test 
 without having to raise fresh capital. 
 
 The portfolio's outperformance in April is predominantly attributed to the 
 overweight to Greek financials and the short position in Turkey. 
 
 We funded additional positions in names such as a Sberbank and natural gas 
 producer Novatek by taking partial profit in one of our strong performing 
 Central European exposures Erste Bank.
