Asia Tigers Fund Disclosure

The holdings and allocations listed are accurate as of the date shown and are subject to change without notice. Any securities discussed should not be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell and there is no guarantee that these securities will be held nor should it be assumed that they were or will be profitable. For all reporting, the adviser uses the same objective, non performance based criteria to select the twenty-five top holdings. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

The Asia Tigers Fund, Inc. is a closed-end management investment company that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in Asian equity securities. The Fund conducts semi-annual repurchase offers and is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol "GRR". Blackstone Asia Advisors L.L.C. (“Blackstone Advisors”) serves as the Investment Manager to the Fund.

Periodically updated information on the Fund can be obtained through the Fund's toll-free phone line at +1 866 800 8933. Information provided includes a recorded update including monthly portfolio manager commentary and weekly NAV calculation.

The Fund is not FDIC insured. There is no bank guarantee. The Fund may lose value.

Most of the securities markets of the Asian countries in which the Fund invests have substantially less volume than the New York Stock Exchange, and equity securities of most Asian companies are less liquid and more volatile than equity securities of U.S. companies of comparable size. Many companies traded on Asian securities markets are smaller, newer and less seasoned than companies whose securities are traded on securities markets in the United States. Investments in smaller companies involve greater risk than is customarily associated with investing in larger companies.

Many of the Asian countries in which the Fund invests may be subject to a greater degree of economic, political and social instability than is the case in the United States and Western European countries. Such social, political and economic instability could significantly disrupt the principal financial markets in which the Fund invests and adversely affect the value of the Fund's assets.

The Fund's assets will be invested in foreign securities and substantially all income will be received by the Fund in foreign currencies. The value of the assets of the Fund as measured in dollars may be affected favorably or unfavorably by fluctuations in currency rates and exchange control regulations.

Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount from their net asset values and initial offering price. This characteristic of shares of a closed-end fund is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that a fund’s net asset value will decrease. The Fund cannot predict whether its own shares will trade at, below or above net asset value.
