Matthews China Dividend Balances Dividend Yield and Growth

Dividend yield and dividend growth data depicted are for all securities held in the largest account of the Matthews China Dividend Strategy. Each point represents a plotting of the portfolio company’s trailing dividend yield as of 3/31/13 and its estimated 3-year annual dividend growth rate. The 3-year annual dividend growth rate estimates were calculated as of 3/31/13 using MICM estimates and are forward looking. Color depiction represents a portfolio company’s dividend payout ratio based on company dividend policy, if available. Otherwise 5-year average payout ratio is utilized (or longest available for companies with less than 5-year history) adjusted to exclude extraordinary or temporary distributions. Estimated 3-year dividend growth was calculated as of 3/31/13 using data from FactSet and Bloomberg. There is no guarantee that future dividend growth will be achieved. There is no guarantee that the composition of the portfolio will remain unchanged or that the companies in the portfolio will achieve their forecasted dividend growth rate, maintain or grow their dividend pay-out ratio, or pay dividends. Past yields are no guarantee of future yields. Sources: FactSet Research Systems, Bloomberg, MICM.

Bubble sizes are in proportion to the portfolio weight of individual positions as of 3/31/13.

Portfolio Positioning

— Seeks companies that can deliver sustainable dividend growth through a strong competitive position, defensive business model and improving dividend policies

— Emphasizes exposure to rising domestic household income with holdings in consumer discretionary and consumer staples companies

— Portfolio currently has no direct holdings in mainland Chinese banks and residential real estate developers as the sustainability of dividends within these industries appears questionable

Looking Forward

— Equity markets may remain volatile as macroeconomic indicators continue to paint a mixed picture of China’s economy

— The potential impact on China’s financial system of informal lending or “shadow banking,” driven mostly by a trend of financial disintermediation, warrants close monitoring

— China’s universe of dividend-paying companies and the total pool of dividends should both expand following additional IPOs and improving dividend policies
