Dao Heng Fund Management Limited takes responsibility for the information
contained herein.
Dao Heng Fund Management Limited is pleased to provide a special offer
to buy units from the unitholders of the Dao Heng Malaysia & Singapore
("the Fund") so as to release their investment from the Fund. Since the
suspension of convertibility of the Malaysian Ringgit imposed in Malaysia
from 2 September 1998, almost all Malaysian funds have declared a suspension
of the determination of the Net Asset Value. This is one of the first such
offers by a Hong Kong fund manager in response to recent events in Malaysia.
To protect the interests of the Fund's unitholders, Dao Heng Fund
Management Limited has offered to buy units from unitholders in consideration
of a subscription into another Dao Heng unit trust. This would involve
a transfer of units from the unitholders to Dao Heng Fund Management Limited
and then a subscription (without the normal initial charge) into
any of the following Dao Heng unit trusts: Asia Fund, China Fund, Hong
Kong Fund, Global Equity Fund, Global Balanced Growth Fund, Fixed Income
Fund and Money Market Fund. To facilitate the transfer of units, the trustee
of the Fund ?The Bank of Bermuda (Cayman) Limited will perform a special
valuation to ascertain the price for such transfer. The securities held
by the Fund will be valued at the latest closing price and the Malaysian
portion of the Fund will be converted to the Fund's base currency at US$1=MYR4.00
(representing a 5% discount on the official rate US$1=MYR3.80). The price
at which Dao Heng Fund Management Limited will offer to purchase units
in the Fund will be based on the valuation at the transfer date while the
offer price at which units in the selected replacement fund will be acquired
will be the applicable offer price (without the normal initial charge).
This offer will be valid for two weeks from the date of this release
and will be notified in writing to each of the unitholders of the Fund.
As all units of unitholders who take up this offer will be acquired
by Dao Heng Fund Management Limited, the transaction will not involve removing
any money from the assets of the Fund and hence will not affect the operation
of the Fund. Apart from the above special valuation (for the purpose of
fixing the transfer price), the Fund will remain suspended until further
notice.

Dao Heng Fund Management Limited, 12th Floor, The Center, 99 Queen’s Road
