The managerfocuses on high-quality, cash-generative companies, which underpin ANW'ssector-leading 1.8% dividend yield. ANW's NAV performance has been strongover one year, but lagged the SET index rally, which was led by morespeculative stocks. The Thai stock market was largely unaffected by thepassing of King Bhumibol in October but a short-term softening of economicactivity is likely as the country mourns. However, an improving economicoutlook and opportunities for Thai companies to expand into the dynamicASEAN region are encouraging prospects for the medium term. ANW's share price discount to NAV (including income) has largely stayedwithin a 10% and 20% range over the last three years, averaging 15.4%.
