Genesis Emerging Markets Fund Ld 12 September 2002 GENESIS EMERGING MARKETS FUND LIMITED PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT The Directors of Genesis Emerging Markets Fund Limited announce results for the year ended 30th June, 2002 as follows: 2002 2001 US$ US$ Total net assets 217,855,809 209,244,372 Capital Return (Deficit) 7,716,026 (30,096,207) Revenue Return 895,411 1,689,797 Net asset value per Participating Preference Share 16.13 15.50 Total Return (Deficit) per Participating Preference Share 0.64 (2.16) Comment - As at 30th June 2002, the net asset value per Participating Share of the Fund was $16.13. This compares with $15.65 at the interim stage at 31st December 2001, and $15.50 at 30th June 2001. The Directors do not recommend payment of a dividend. Although equity markets, both developed and emerging, were affected during 2002 by broad global, political or economic considerations, Emerging Markets as a class continued to perform significantly better than the conventional markets. While the latter part of 2001 was overshadowed by political events, the health of the world economy was the underlying concern in early 2002, reflecting high levels of corporate and consumer debt, lack of demand and pricing power, and over-supply in many industries. Fundamentals for a generalised recovery in major economies seemed to be lacking, and the explosive fourth quarter 2001 rally was driven instead by highly liquid monetary conditions. The rally soon petered out in early 2002 at which point the Emerging Markets began to surge ahead, both relatively and in absolute terms. Looking forward, it is possible to find reasons for caution in the political/ economic environment. That said, there are significant reasons to be optimistic about emerging markets, including compelling valuations (both in absolute terms and relative to other major markets), fast rising returns on equity amongst better run emerging markets companies, and demographic trends.
