Notes to Schedules of Investments (unaudited)

 

A. SECURITY VALUATION: Matthews Asia Funds’ (each a “Fund, collectively the “Funds”) exchange-traded securities are valued based on market quotations for those securities, or on their fair value determined by or under the direction of the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Market quotations are provided by pricing services that are independent of the Funds and Matthews. Foreign exchange-traded securities are valued as of the close of trading on the primary exchange on which they trade. Securities that trade in over-the-counter markets, including most debt securities (bonds), may be valued by other third-party vendors or by using indicative bid quotations from bond dealers or market makers, or other available market information, or on their fair value as determined by or under the direction of the Board. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their settlement price. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices and are determined at the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. The Funds may also utilize independent pricing services to assist them in determining a current market value for each security based on sources believed to be reliable.

 

The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions, portfolio securities, and assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated and recorded in U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate as of the close of trading on the NYSE. Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in the exchange rate during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the results of operations for the current period. The Funds do not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments in equity securities that is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities.

 

Market values for equity securities are determined based on quotations from the principal (or most advantageous) market on which the security is traded. Market quotations used by the Funds include last reported sale prices, or, if such prices are not reported or available, bid and ask prices. Securities are valued through valuations obtained from a commercial pricing service or by securities dealers in accordance with procedures established by the Board.

 

The Board has delegated the responsibility of making fair value determinations to the Funds’ Valuation Committee (the “Valuation Committee”) subject to the Funds’ Pricing Policies.  When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a Fund to calculate its Net Asset Value (“NAV”) may differ from any quoted or published prices for the same securities for that day.  All fair value determinations are made subject to the Board’s oversight.  Events affecting the value of foreign investments may occur between the time at which they are determined and when the Funds calculate their NAV, which is normally the close of trading on the NYSE. If such events render market quotations unreliable, and the impact of such events can be reasonably determined, the investments will be valued at their fair value. The fair value of a security held by the Funds may be determined using the services of third-party pricing services retained by the Funds or by the Valuation Committee, in either case subject to the Board’s oversight.

 

Foreign securities held by the Funds may be traded on days and at times when the NYSE is closed. Accordingly, the NAV of the Funds may be significantly affected on days when shareholders have no access to the Funds.

 

B. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS: In accordance with the guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), the Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments, which are as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

Level 2: Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

 

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

 

As of March 31, 2012, Level 3 securities consist primarily of equities that, as of March 31, 2012, were suspended from trading.  As described in Note A, these securities are valued based on their fair value as determined under the direction of the Board. The significant unobservable inputs, the methodology used for valuing such securities, and the characterization of such securities as Level 3 securities are not necessarily an indication of liquidity, or the risk associated with investing in these securities.  Level 2 equity securities consist primarily of securities that have been fair valued by third-party pricing services (see Note A).

 



 

The summary of inputs used to determine the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments and derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2012 is as follows:

Certain foreign securities may be fair valued by external pricing services when the Funds determine that events affecting the value of foreign securities which occur between the time at which they are determined and the close of trading on the NYSE render market quotations unreliable. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Foreign securities that are valued based on market quotations are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy (See Note A Securities Valuation).  The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers in and transfer out as of the beginning of the reporting period. At March 31, 2012, the Funds utilized third party pricing services to fair value certain markets which were different than markets which utilized third party pricing services at December 31, 2011. As a result, certain securities held by the Funds were transferred from Level 2 into Level 1 with beginning of period values as follows:

Certain foreign securities, for which market quotations are not readily available, may be fair valued and classified as either Level 2 or Level 3. When the underlying inputs include significant observable inputs obtained from sources independent of the Funds, the securities are classified as Level 2. When the underlying inputs include significant unobservable inputs and reflect assumptions of market participants, the securities are classified as Level 3. As of March 31, 2012, the Funds utilized significant observable inputs including evaluated prices from the Funds’ pricing vendors, day-on-day price changes, primary and ancillary pricing sources, and other available independent market indicators of value. As a result, certain securities held by the Funds that were previously classified as Level 3 were transferred to Level 2. As of March 31, 2012, certain equity securities that were suspended from trading were transferred into Level 3 from Level 1.

 

C. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Matthews Asia Strategic Income Fund engages in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts to economically hedge its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate risk. Losses may arise if the value of the contracts decrease due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties does not perform under the contracts. The Fund’s primary risks associated with the use of derivatives include the other party to the derivative contract may fail to fulfill its obligation, reduced liquidity, the Fund may suffer disproportionate heavy losses relative to the amount invested, and changes in the value of the derivatives may not match or fully offset changes in the value of the hedged portfolio securities, thereby failing to achieve the original purpose for using the derivative.

 

Financial Futures Contracts: Matthews Asia Strategic Income Fund may purchase financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Fund and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on settlement date. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets.

 

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: Matthews Asia Strategic Income Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). A forward foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by the Fund, help to manage the overall exposure to the currencies in which some of the investments held by the Fund are denominated. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of a forward foreign currency exchange contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies and the risk that the

 



 

counterparty to the contract does not perform its obligations under the agreement.

 

D. HOLDINGS OF 5% VOTING SHARES OF PORTFOLIO COMPANIES

 

The Investment Company Act of 1940 Act defines “affiliated companies” to include investments in portfolio companies in which a fund owns 5% or more of the outstanding voting shares. During the period ended March 31, 2012, the Funds below held 5% or more of the outstanding voting shares of the noted portfolio companies. During this period, other Funds in the Trust may also have held voting shares of the issuers at levels below 5%.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to any losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which generally expire after eight years from when they are incurred. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
