Chairman’s StatementInvestment Manager’s ReviewReview of OperationsDuring the 12 months to 30 June 2011, funds increased from US$4.0billion to US$7.3billion with the successful transfer of US$3.7billionof funds acquired from Credit Suisse <strong>Global</strong> Investors and thecreation of 11 new sub-funds to host the acquired business. Themajority of the Funds outperformed their respective benchmarksduring the period under review however the underlying fundsreduced in value largely in part to net redemptions of US$1.3 billionover the period.Fund DevelopmentsOn 24 September 2010, the Company successfully transferredover 1,450 Shareholders and US$3.7billion of funds acquired fromCredit Suisse <strong>Global</strong> Investors from their 12 sub-funds into 1 of ourexisting sub-funds and 11 newly created sub-funds. The existing fundinto which some $100m of the acquired business was transferredwas <strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong> - Sterling Aggregate Bond Fund and the11 new sub-funds which were created were Asia Fixed IncomeFund, Australian Dollar Bond Fund, Canadian Dollar Bond Fund,Convertible Europe Fund, Emerging Europe Fixed Income Fund, EuroGovernment Bond Fund, Euro High Yielding Fixed Income Fund,Multi Asset Asia Pacific Fund, Short Term Euro Bond, Short Term USDollar Bond Fund and US Dollar Bond Fund. Strong interest has beenwitnessed in Convertible Europe Fund, Sterling Bond Fund and AsiaFixed Income Fund during the period.On the distribution side, we continue to develop relationshipswith our distribution partners and secured a number of newauthorisations over the period in review. The Company continuesto have a global reach with authorisations secured in 16 territoriesworldwide.Regulatory developmentsInvestors will be aware that in general, regulatory changes haveincreased and these present challenges to be overcome in termsof adapting the Company to meet new requirements. UCITS IVintroduces key modifications in the UCITS regulatory landscapewhich presents opportunities but more importantly enhancesinvestor protection. One key change for investors is the replacementof the simplified prospectus by the Key Investor InformationDocument (“K<strong>II</strong>D”). The K<strong>II</strong>D, which will be required to be effectiveby July 2012, is a two page document with the content, form andpresentation being fully harmonised so as to facilitate its directcomparison between other UCITS.In addition, the Luxembourg government has decided not to restrictitself just to the implementation of the UCITS IV Directive, butto use the opportunity to adopt a number of other provisions toimprove the general legal framework applicable to Luxembourginvestment funds. These improvements are commonly referredto as the “Efficiency Package” which will bring cost savings to theCompany.The amendment of the Company’s articles were approved at theAGM and these changes will be reflected in the updated prospectuswhich is currently lodged with the regulator. Under the amendedlaw, annual accounts will be made available to investors via www.aberdeen-asset.com or on request which will bring significant savingsto the Company.Investment reviewOver the 12 months under review, markets have increasingly beendriven by investor sentiment rather than underlying fundamentals.With investors initially seeking ‘safe haven’ assets as the US recoverywas called in to question, yields reached record lows. The effects offurther stimulus, in the form of QE2, fed through to more positiveeconomic data and investors reacted by embracing risk assets in therun up to year end. Core government therefore sold-off, giving backtheir previous gains and yields rose significantly.Whilst volatile in the early stages of 2011, investors provedremarkably resilient to the events in North Africa and the MiddleEast, as well as to the tragic events in Japan and the growingconcerns surrounding the US debt profile. Equity marketscontinued on an upward trend and core yields rose steadily as risingcommodity prices and supply side concerns resulted in growinginflationary concerns.Despite eurozone problems still lurking in the background, andpressure on peripheral European bond yields proving relentlessthroughout 2011, events intensified towards the end of the period(particularly in Greece) which reignited contagion fears to recordlevels. This ultimately tipped the balance of investor sentimentback in to ‘risk off’ mode as they dived for cover in the form of ‘safehaven’ government assets once again. The levels of risk aversionare perhaps best observed via the record valuations of gold and theSwiss franc.Although company fundamentals remained robust, the heightenedlevels of risk aversion triggered by Greece caused credit spreads towiden.The majority of the Funds outperformed their respective benchmarksduring the period under review.Both country and security selection generally proved positive overthe year.OutlookSince the end of the reporting period, markets have becomegripped by fear and have been extremely turbulent. The US weredowngraded by S&P to AA+ and the sovereign debt crisis in Europereached a new fervour as fears of contagion spread to Italy and Spaintook hold and France’s AAA-rating came under scrutiny due to theanticipation of investors of implied liability transfers should the EFSFbe increased as many believe is necessary to ensure the stability ofthe eurozone as a whole.Risk assets fell dramatically in early August causing global stockmarket panic. The traditional safe havens of gold, the Swiss francand core government bonds (the US included as investors largelyignored the credit rating downgrade because it told them nothingnew) soared to new record levels. However, at the time of writingequity markets have bounced considerably off their lows and somesort of stability appears to be returning to markets. However,volatility could well remain for some time to come.<strong>Aberdeen</strong> Asset Managers Limited August 2011CG LittleChairman 22 August 20112 <strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong>

The US’ second quantitative easing and Japan’s¥5 trillion asset purchase programme kept financial markets awashwith liquidity, much of which found its way to emerging markets.Asian local currency government bond markets, in particular,benefited from a flight to safety that was triggered by externalfactors, including political unrest in the Middle East and north Africa,Japan’s devastating quake and Europe’s sovereign debt problems.Less supportive for government bonds was the brisk expansionin GDP, underpinned by robust domestic demand and a pickupin intra-regional trade. Along with dwindling economic slack,increases in the prices of food, energy and other commoditiesdrove up inflation. In response, central banks tightened monetarypolicy further; the People’s <strong>Bank</strong> of China hiked its policy rate fourtimes and banks’ reserve requirements by nine times. The interestrate differentials between Asia and the developed world, wheremonetary normalisation was postponed in view of sluggish economicgrowth rates, were most positive for regional currencies. Also liftingcurrencies was central banks’ increasing willingness to employforeign exchange appreciation to alleviate imported inflation.The won, Singapore and Taiwan dollars, which rose by more than10% each against the US dollar, were the best performing currencies.The won benefited from substantial equity market inflows;the Singapore dollar was helped by the Monetary Authority ofSingapore’s decision to allow faster currency gains; and the Taiwandollar was favoured for the country’s increasingly close economicties to the mainland. Meanwhile, China’s move to graduallyinternationalise its currency picked up traction with a 4.7% riseagainst the US dollar. However, the opposite was true for the euroand the yen, which strengthened against most Asian currencies.For local-currency government bonds, outperformance was mainlyconcentrated largely at the longer end of the yield curve as theshorter end was constrained by the monetary tightening cycle. Thehigher-yielding debt of Indonesia and the Philippines rallied themost over the year, with 10-year yields falling by 83bps and 137bpsrespectively, despite giving up earlier gains in the later part of 2010and early 2011. Korean yields declined 66bps after the central banksoftened its policy stance amid rising global uncertainty.Asian credit spreads tightened by 35bps and the JPMorgan AsiaCredit Index rose by 7.97%. High-yield corporates outperformed onthe back of robust risk appetite and solid corporate earnings results.In particular, Chinese property bonds were resilient despite pressurefrom the government’s real estate cooling measures. However, gainswere marred slightly by poor performance in the Chinese high-yieldindustrial sector, which was weighed down by corporate governanceconcerns in the second half of the review period. The primary marketwas robust, with activity boosted further by a slew of renminbibonds following the Chinese government’s July decision to allowyuan trading in Hong Kong.Portfolio reviewThe portfolio rose by 3.66% from 24 September 2010 to 30 June2011, compared with the benchmark’s return of 3.54%.During the period, the portfolio’s currency exposure added valuerelative to the benchmark, particularly the overweight to the wonand Singapore dollar. However, the underweight position to theappreciating Taiwan dollar in the latter part of 2010 detractedfrom relative performance, as did our short positions in the yenand the euro, which were used to diversify the funding of ourAsian currency exposure.<strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong> 9Asia Fixed Income

The period from late September 2010 tomid 2011 was characterised by two broad phases for Australianyields. First, from September 2010 to early 2011 yields rose as themarket recovered from the European sovereign crisis of mid 2010and Australian economic growth prospects were robust. The USbond market was also a significant driver of global yields during thisperiod. Treasury yields reached their lowest point since Q4 2008during October 2010, in anticipation of the Federal Reserve’s secondso-called quantitative easing program or QE2. From this point,Treasury yields rose consistently through to early 2011 as economicdata generally surprised in a positive way and global growthprospects were relatively strong. In addition, the Reserve <strong>Bank</strong> ofAustralia raised overnight cash rates in November 2010, the timingof which surprised the market.The second phase of yield moves was from February 2011 onwards,when over the following five months yields fell back towards thelow levels reached in mid 2010. The causes of this move lowerincluded: slowing growth prospects in the West and in Asia as policymakers tried to slow growth to fight inflation; the re-emergence ofthe European sovereign crisis including Greece, Ireland and Portugal;and finally the weakening in domestic demand seen in Australia,exacerbated by the adverse weather conditions from early in 2011.Late in the period under review, the European bond market beganto price in higher risks for nations such as Italy and Spain, with yieldspreads rising dramatically versus German bunds. This impactedcredit markets and financials in particular, with knock-on effects toequities and government bonds including those in Australia.Credit markets for the period under review also moved in distinctphases. The initial recovery from the mid-2010 European sovereigncrisis saw spreads narrowing and credit strongly outperforminggovernment bonds. This out-performance persisted until early 2011,from which point spreads moved broadly in a sideways fashionversus government bonds until May. From this point on, investorsbegan to sell credit assets and spreads widened more aggressively,largely in response to the growing risks coming from Europe and thedownturn in equity markets. However, the scale of the widening incredit spreads seen in mid 2011 is less severe than that of mid 2010.Corporate revenue and profit results were actually sound for most ofthe period. There is an argument that credit quality metrics are attheir best level in decades for many sectors. However, the broadershifts in market sentiment were more powerful drivers of spreadsduring the period.Portfolio reviewThe Fund underperformed the benchmark over the period.However, we were able to add value via the duration strategy untilthe end of the review period by moving between long and shortduration positions towards the extreme end of the range for yields.Throughout the period our view on the fair value levels for Australianyields was little changed. However, we did expect a rise in yieldsin the early part of 2011, correspondingly moving to a larger shortduration position. This was a negative impact on performance laterin the review period however, as yields fell despite a constructiveoutlook for the Australian economy.The slope strategy added value in late 2010 by being positioned fora flatter Australian yield curve. We neutralised this position in early2011 at attractive levels and have waited for further opportunitiesto initiate trades which benefit from a steepening yield curve (wherelonger-dated yields rise relative to shorter-dated).<strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong> 19Australian Dollar Bond


Relative value strategies largely added value by being overweightcheap individual government bond maturities versus more expensiveneighbours on the yield curve. Primarily the cheap issues were thoserecently issued by AOFM.We maintained a modest overweight to credit throughout the wholeyear, having reduced our position somewhat during the early stagesof the Greek crisis in May 2010. Selected issuers with Europeanexposure did not perform as strongly as non-European issuers.All our credit exposure in the Fund is from stronger investment gradeissuers, with no asset rated below AA-/Aa3. We also maintained ouroverweight to semi government securities (semis), primarily issuedby Victoria and Queensland (state-guaranteed). In aggregate, thecredit allocation was a modest negative for performance as swapspreads widened versus government bonds over the review period,offsetting the benefit of superior yieldcarry from non-government assets.OutlookOur view on interest rates has moderated somewhat since lastmonth as we have removed one Reserve <strong>Bank</strong> rate rise fromour profile and pushed back the timing on the expected FederalReserve tightening. Timing aside, however, our most importantchange in view is that the growth/inflation mix is changing, asthe global constraint from higher oil prices has been even greaterthan expected. In addition, we expect this to be a recurring patternwhenever global growth picks up - ie rising demand for oil forcesthe oil price up which acts as a brake on growth - meaning throughtime, growth is likely to be lower and inflation slightly higher. Thisshifting composition is largely indeterminate for nominal rates(as nominal growth remains about the same), but has importantimplications for the allocation decision between nominal andinflation-protected bonds. It is important to emphasise that thisshift is in the context of a global growth outlook which continues tolook acceptable in aggregate. This is due to ongoing accommodativefinancial conditions and in spite of the delicate balances in both theEast (between managing inflation and hard landings) and the West(between stimulus and sustainability) which make for unsteadinessaround the path. Somewhat uniquely, Australia’s rates marketremains hostage to events in other developed economies, in spiteof Australia’s ongoing realignment of growth cycles with Asia.Credit markets in recent months have lost the spread tighteningmomentum that had been in place earlier in 2011. The challengesoccupying the minds of investors stem firstly from the broad slowingof growth seen in the US, Europe and much of Asia, and secondly,from the influence of the rolling European sovereign crisis andparticularly its impact on the banking sector. On the positive side,demand for credit seems to remain strong although it has softenedsince early 2011 and in a historical context, credit spreads are fairlywide, particularly for financial issuers.Undoubtedly some of the weakness in H1 2011 growth has stemmedfrom somewhat temporary factors, such as the Japanese earthquakeand supply chain disruptions and the tax-like effects of higher oiland commodity prices. Those factors can be expected to unwindthrough H2 2011. However, there is evidence of a slowing inforward-looking indicators and it is clear that the US and Europe faceconstraints on growth that will be longer-lasting, such as ongoingprivate sector deleveraging, a reversal of fiscal stimulus generallyand an aggressive fiscal contraction in the EU periphery. Importantlyalso we are in a period of policy tightening from many central banks,with the exception, for now, of the Federal Reserve.Although the last two months have been more difficult for creditmarkets, encouragingly, there was no return to the systemicsovereign and banking sector fears of May/June 2010, despite theGreek crisis. However, the weaker global outlook compared to early2011, along with the loss of spread tightening momentum, leave usfeeling cautious. While we foresee broadly unchanged spreads over12 months, with a slight tightening in our central case, the risks arestill skewed to wider spreads in our alternate scenarios. Our currentmodest overweight to cash credit should remain for the mediumterm though we stand prepared to reduce risk further shouldmarkets deteriorate from here.20 <strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong>Australian Dollar Bond

Once themarkets recovered following the sell-off sparked by the Gulf ofMexico oil spill, ongoing political tensions in North Africa and theMiddle East, swiftly followed by the tragic earthquake in Japanled to a renewed bout of risk aversion. Concerns also began tosurface around the US debt profile which was best summarised byS&P’s downgrading of the US debt outlook to negative. Peripheraleurozone countries came under severe pressure from bond investorsconcerned over levels of indebtedness. Yields on peripheral sovereigndebt rose significantly as investors shunned the bond market. Greecewas the first peripheral nation to undergo a crisis, followed byIreland in the fourth quarter of 2010 and Portugal in the secondquarter of 2011. EU/IMF bailouts failed to calm the markets asexpected and fears about the fiscal situation in other Eurozonecountries kept yield spreads versus German bunds at recordhigh levels. Towards the end of the year under review, fears ofGreek default dominated the markets and led to the widespreadrisk aversion.Amidst all of these headwinds, Canada’s economy has beenmotoring along very nicely and, were it not for the uncertain globallandscape and US rates at near zero, an interest rate rise would havesurely been implemented by the <strong>Bank</strong> of Canada in an effort tostem inflationary pressures and stop the economy from overheating.Headline inflation is currently running at 3.7%, significantly abovethe <strong>Bank</strong> of Canada’s 1-3% target range.Whilst the July inflation figure is expected to fall due to 2010 highersales taxes dropping out of the data, the <strong>Bank</strong> of Canada’s coreinflation rate, which excludes sales taxes and volatile goods, couldsee rises over the coming months due to similar year-on-year datacomparisons. At 1.9%, the annualised core inflation figure wouldstill be below the 2% target; however, the rate of increase will be ofconcern to the <strong>Bank</strong> of Canada. Also of concern to the central bankwill be the marginal rise in inflation expectations highlighted in itsQ2 Business Outlook Survey.Portfolio reviewThe Fund outperformed its benchmark over the period under review,returning 1.14% versus the benchmark’s performance of 1.10%.Overall, government of Canada bond yields are slightly lower overthe reporting period of June 2010 through June 2011. Thirty yearbonds are about ten basis points lower and ended the period with ayield of 3.55%, ten year bonds were roughly unchanged at 3.1%, fiveyear bonds were unchanged at 2.3% and two year bonds ended theperiod about 0.2% wider at 1.6%.In terms of interest rate sensitivity, the Fund had lower durationthan the benchmark in the second half of the reporting period, thisresulted in some give-up of yield and less capital gains than thebenchmark given the overall lower yield curve. This was more thanoffset from holding a few well selected Canadian dollar denominatedcorporate bonds and Canadian provincial bonds; both of thesetypes of bonds offer a yield pick-up versus sovereign government ofCanada bonds. Furthermore holding some higher yielding off-therunCanada government bonds that also benefited from rolling downthe yield curve further benefited the Fund.OutlookWith uncertainties surrounding the pace of US growth from here,and with nothing immediately forcing the hand of the <strong>Bank</strong> ofCanada, we continue to expect them to remain in ‘wait and see’mode.

But those expectations wereto be challenged rapidly. First, the surge in oil prices followingthe political events in North Africa and the Middle East has liftedfears of a consumption slowdown. Thereafter, the natural disasterwhich affected Japan in March had a considerable negative impacton the global manufacturing sector. The third risk factor whichcontinued to exert a growing influence over the financial marketwas the European sovereign debt crisis. After the interest rates ofits sovereign debt reached unsustainable levels, Portugal became inApril the third state to demand financial support from the EuropeanUnion. In reaction to those multiple risk factors, financial marketparticipants downgraded their economic growth forecasts andall risky asset classes declined over the last two months ofthis semester.The European convertible bond market has benefited from risingequity and credit markets over the first three quarters of the period.Also, the asset class gained from a marked increase in convertiblebond valuations up until the month of March 2011. Since then,demand for the asset class from outright investors was reduceddue to the decline in equity markets, forcing convertible bonds’volatility valuations to weaken. The volume of new issuance waslow over the period, with around $21.9billion raised in Europe.Portfolio reviewThe Fund’s performance was below the benchmark overthe period.Our overweight position in terms of overall equity exposure wasbeneficial for the portfolio. However, our conservative positioning interms of credit, avoiding lower credit quality names, was detrimentalto the relative performance of the Fund, as credit spreads continuedto tighten by a larger extent in this segment. Security selection wasalso source of underperformance, the main examples being ourunderweight position in Alcatel and Bulgari which had exceptionalreturns over the period.OutlookWe have been surprised by the depth and the length of thecorrection in equities. However, we see two reasons to be positiveat present. First, it seems to us that equity markets have correctedas a result of rising risk aversion as opposed to deterioratingfundamentals. It currently makes European equities look remarkablycheap. Second, we think that European policy makers will engineera temporary solution for Greece which should help improve marketsentiment in the short run. For these reasons and considering thepotential impact of the summer seasonal effect, we would expecta rebound. We intend to maintain our slight overweight equitysensitivity.Despite the recent correction in credit spreads, we still think that it isworth trying to maintain a high level of carry in the portfolio as theoutlook for corporate cashflows remains positive.The correction in European convertible bond valuations has beenquite sharp, leaving a good entry point for new investors. Moreover,there are several large issues that are maturing in the coming weekswhich we think could push secondary market valuations higheras investors re-invest the cash. We will be looking to increaseour sensibility to higher valuation sensitive converts in thecoming weeks.<strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong> 27Convertible Europe

The period under review started well foremerging market debt, which posted robust gains thanks to slowerglobal growth data and declining US Treasury bond yields. However,mounting concerns over peripheral eurozone members, along withrising US Treasury yields, had a negative impact on the emergingEuropean assets heading into year end 2010. Rising global headwindsalso weighed on the asset class heading into 2011, cumulating in therisk aversion trend due to fear of Greek default towards the end ofthe period under review. The GBI-EM <strong>Global</strong> Diversified Europe Indexgained 0.61% (in euro terms) over the period under review.Rising inflation concerns amid heightened commodity prices, inparticular those related to food, put severe pressure on developingeconomies in late 2010, which in turn weighed on asset prices. Thiswas exacerbated somewhat by a spike in oil prices following theuprisings in North Africa and the Middle East in Q1 11, althoughpressures have eased in recent months due to increased confidencesurrounding global oil supplies. Emerging market debt recordedstrong performance as inflation pressures eased and concerns aboutJapan following the earthquake and tsunami also faded. Toward theend of the reporting period the focus shifted to weak growth figuresfrom the US and fears about a Greece default, which dampened riskappetite. Greece managed to pass the austerity bill at the end ofJune, paving the way for the next €12 billion of its EU-IMF bail-outpackage, prompting a brief rebound in risk appetite.Portfolio reviewThe Fund underperformed its benchmark over the period underreview. Overweight exposure to Poland and an underweight positionon Turkey were the main contributors to performance.OutlookHow long the Greek crisis will persist depends on several events: theEU plan on private sector involvement to extend maturities on Greekdebt coming due in 2012-14, and the willingness of the IMF/EU toagree to a further US$150bn bailout package for Greece to coverthe financing gap over the next three years. Once those hurdles arecleared, the focus will shift to implementation risk, which will remainvery high. In the meantime, some calmer waters for Greece will besupportive for emerging market debt.32 <strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong>Emerging Europe Fixed Income

Thiswas exacerbated somewhat by a spike in oil prices following theuprisings in North Africa and the Middle East in Q1 2011, althoughpressures have eased in recent months due to increased confidencesurrounding global oil supplies. Emerging market debt recordedstrong performance as inflation pressures eased and concerns aboutJapan following the earthquake and tsunami also faded. Toward theend of the reporting period the focus shifted to weak growth figuresfrom the US and fears about a Greece default, which dampened riskappetite. Greece managed to pass the austerity bill at the end ofJune, paving the way for the next €12 billion of its EU-IMF bail-outpackage, prompting a brief rebound in risk appetite.Country NewsIn Brazil, the Central <strong>Bank</strong> has been raising interest rates, whichreached 12.25% at the end of the period under review, in an effortto combat inflation which has been persistently above the official4.5% target. Meanwhile, the continued strength of the Brazilianreal and rising currency inflows (US$35bn in Q1 2011) promptedBrazil to introduce further macro prudential measures to stemappreciation pressures on the Brazilian real, extending the IOF tax(Tax on Financial Operations) of 6% to all external borrowing with amaturity of up to two years from one year previously, and increasingthe IOF tax on credit to households, which includes credit card anddirect consumer credit, to 3% from 1.5%.Mexico is another country that has not been immune to risinginflation pressures, although they are mild in comparison to the likesof Brazil and China. The other significant news was Mexico’s requestfor a larger, and longer contingent credit line from the IMF.The 2-year, US$73 billion FCL would replace the current 1-year,US$47 billion credit line that was originally taken out in 2009,during a fragile period for global financial markets. Mexico isarguably in a much stronger position today compared to 2009, withgrowth rebounding, but seeking added insurance is a prudent move,and should be supportive for the peso.Argentina has addressed one of its key outstanding issues that, ifsuccessful, will enhance an improving credit story. Discussions withthe Paris Club to work out a repayment of longstanding arrears,which are now close to US$ 8 billion, commenced in December,with Economy Minister Boudou stating the negotiations will havetwo stages. The first stage will involve the reconciliation betweenthe two parts of the exact amount Argentina owes the Paris Club.The second stage will involve the negotiation proper of a repaymentplan. Clearing of Paris Club arrears will allow government-ownedexport credit agencies to provide insurance coverage, which in turnwould help attract foreign investment from the private sector.However, no breakthrough in talks is expected before Octoberpresidential elections.Chinese growth indicators moderated with the People’s <strong>Bank</strong> ofChina embarking on a series of tightening measures which beganwith a much-awaited interest rate hike on Christmas Day. Whileinflation pressures are persisting due to rising commodity prices, therecent deceleration in monetary growth, along with slowing creditgrowth, have reduced the need for a drastic liquidity tighteningwhich should ease any concerns about the risk of a sharp slowdownof growth. China’s softening growth indicators and elevated inflationlevels prompted further hikes of reserve requirement ratio (RRR). TheRRR has been increased by a total of 600 basis points since the startof 2010. We continue to view the soft landing scenario as a highprobability, with 2011 growth likely to be closer to 8.5% than thecurrent consensus of around 9%.Portfolio reviewThe Fund outperformed its benchmark over the period under review.Within the hard currency-denominated holdings, Argentina andKazakhstan were the main contributors to performance while thePhilippines and Ivory Coast detracted from performance. Withinlocal currency-denominated bonds, exposure to Brazil, Mexico andSouth Africa added the most value. Over the year, positions inPoland and Russia detracted from performance.OutlookHow long the Greek crisis will persist depends on several events: theEU plan on private sector involvement to extend maturities on Greekdebt coming due in 2012-14, and the willingness of the IMF/EU toagree to a further US$150bn bailout package for Greece to coverthe financing gap over the next three years. Once those hurdles arecleared, the focus will shift to implementation risk, which will remainvery high. In the meantime, some calmer waters for Greece will besupportive for emerging market debt.36 <strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong>Emerging Markets Fixed Income Alpha

Euro Aggregate BondFor the year ended 30 June 2011PerformanceFor the year ended 30 June 2011, the value of Euro Aggregate Bond -Z Accumulation shares increased by 0.67% compared to a decreaseof 0.13% in the benchmark, Barclays Capital Euro Aggregate Index.Source : BNP Paribas, Total Return, EUR.Fund name changeOn 27 July 2010 the Fund changed its name from <strong>Aberdeen</strong><strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong> - Euro Bond Fund to <strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong> - Euro AggregateBond Fund.Manager’s reviewInvestors had much to digest over the year. Core government bondyields rose steadily into 2011 from their summer/autumn lowsas greater levels of risk appetite returned to the table. Significantvolatility was experienced in core government bonds early in2011 due to ongoing political tensions in North Africa and theMiddle East, the tragic earthquake in Japan, concerns over theUS debt profile and a resurfacing of concerns over the eurozonesovereign debt crisis. These factors, particularly the latter eurozonewoes, ultimately weighed on investors minds and core yields fellsignificantly towards the end of the period.Unsurprisingly, the story in peripheral markets was very different.After an initial calm within peripheral European sovereign debtmarkets in early 2011, concerns took centre stage once again -with Greece requiring a second bout of IMF/ECB-backed financialassistance. Whilst remaining elevated throughout 2011, Europeanperipheral government bond spreads widened to record levels inMay and June as the crisis intensified. Credit fundamentals wereincreasingly overlooked over the year as markets and risk sentimentwere driven by events in peripheral Europe.During the year, the ECB became increasingly hawkish and increasedrates for the first time in nearly three years in April, moving theRefi rate (refinancing rate) up to 1.25%. The eurozone as a whole isexperiencing a recovery and the aggregate inflation level is abovetarget. However, the risk remains that tighter monetary policy inresponse to inflationary concerns in the core countries could lead todouble-dip recession in some of the lower-growth countries.Portfolio reviewThe Fund significantly outperformed over the year. Country selectioncontributed to performance, in particular our underweight positionsin Spain, Portugal and Ireland added value as peripheral Europeangovernment bonds underperformed ‘core’ countries such asGermany.However, security selection detracted value as sovereign debtconcerns overshadowed credit fundamentals. Our holdings insubordinated financials and our non-government holdings inperipheral markets were the main detractors. Duration and yieldcurve positioning also had a negative impact on performance aswe held an overweight position in 5-10 year securities.Our currency positioning was also a small negative; negativecontributions from positions in the US dollar versus commoditycurrencies outweighed the positive contribution from our longSwiss franc position.OutlookThe spread tightening that has occurred will likely continue in theshort-term due to positioning and favourable supply dynamics,particularly in the likes of Spain and Italy. However, in the mediumterm,the Greek situation is not sustainable and very visible publicanger about austerity measures may make it difficult for thesemeasures to be implemented fully. As a result, we will look touse further tightening to initiate short positions.With European fiscal imbalances and talk of sovereign defaultdominating markets, credit spreads are likely to remain volatileover the coming months. High severity tail risks abound and thedirection of markets over the short to medium term is as likely tobe driven by politics and public reaction to austerity as much as bycorporate fundamentals and economic growth. Indeed, in the US,Congress is approaching the August deadline for approval of anincrease in the US debt ceiling or risk having to begin defaulting onobligations. While a low probability, failure to agree would clearlyhave significant global implications. We maintain a small overweightposition in credit, believing that strong corporate fundamentals andrecovering economies will drive spreads tighter by the end of theyear.42 <strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong>Euro Aggregate Bond

Euro Corporate BondFor the year ended 30 June 2011PerformanceFor the year ended 30 June 2011, the value of Euro Corporate Bond -Z Accumulation shares increased by 3.60% compared to an increaseof 2.68% in the benchmark, Barclays Capital European AggregateCorporate Index.Source : BNP Paribas, Total Return, EUR.Manager’s reviewInvestors had much to digest over the year. Core government bondyields rose steadily into 2011 from their summer/autumn lowsas greater levels of risk appetite returned to the table. Significantvolatility was experienced in core government bonds early in2011 due to ongoing political tensions in North Africa and theMiddle East, the tragic earthquake in Japan, concerns over theUS debt profile and a resurfacing of concerns over the eurozonesovereign debt crisis. These factors, particularly the latter eurozonewoes, ultimately weighed on investors minds and core yields fellsignificantly towards the end of the period.Unsurprisingly, the story in peripheral markets was very different.After an initial calm within peripheral European sovereign debtmarkets in early 2011, concerns took centre stage once again -with Greece requiring a second bout of IMF/ECB-backed financialassistance. Whilst remaining elevated throughout 2011, Europeanperipheral government bond spreads widened to record levels inMay and June as the crisis intensified. Credit fundamentals wereincreasingly overlooked over the year as markets and risk sentimentwere driven by events in peripheral Europe.During the year, the ECB became increasingly hawkish and increasedrates for the first time in nearly three years in April, moving theRefi rate (refinancing rate) up to 1.25%. The eurozone as a whole isexperiencing a recovery and the aggregate inflation level is abovetarget. However, the risk remains that tighter monetary policy inresponse to inflationary concerns in the core countries could lead todouble-dip recession in some of the lower-growth countries.Portfolio reviewThe Fund significantly outperformed the benchmark over the year.Our overweight positions to subordinated bank and insurance bondmade a positive contribution to this outperformance, as did ourunderweight to Portuguese issuers. Our overweight to issuers inSpain, both in financials and telecoms, contributed significantly toperformance volatility.OutlookThe spread tightening that has occurred will likely continue in theshort-term due to positioning and favourable supply dynamics,particularly in the likes of Spain and Italy. However, in the mediumterm,the Greek situation is not sustainable and very visible publicanger about austerity measures may make it difficult for thesemeasures to be implemented fully. As a result, we will look to usefurther tightening to initiate short positions.With European fiscal imbalances and talk of sovereign defaultdominating markets, credit spreads are likely to remain volatileover the coming months. High severity tail risks abound and thedirection of markets over the short to medium term is as likely tobe driven by politics and public reaction to austerity as much as bycorporate fundamentals and economic growth. Indeed, in the US,Congress is approaching the August deadline for approval of anincrease in the US debt ceiling or risk having to begin defaulting onobligations. While a low probability, failure to agree would clearlyhave significant global implications.

They proved remarkably resilient in the offace of rising oil prices, the tragic earthquake in Japan and concernsover the scale of the US debt mountain and, whilst showingintermittent signs of weakness, generally continued their upwardtrend throughout the first quarter and beyond as investors embracedrisk assets. This trend reversed sharply as sovereign debt issue beganto boil over once again as speculation re-emerged about a potentialrestructuring of Greek government debt. In the absence of a crediblesolution offered by policymakers, risk aversion caught hold and highyield markets suffered across the board.New issuance was strong throughout much of the year under review;however, more recently weakened - with market volatility seeingJune become the lightest month for new issuance in 2011.Portfolio reviewWith the high yield and low level of duration on offer, foundthrough searching for investment opportunities away from the‘traditional’ high yield market place, the conditions were optimalfor the portfolio. This isn’t always expected to be the case especiallywhen markets are trending very positively as they are apt to dooccasionally and during these periods the portfolio returns will likelylag the benchmark, but due to the on going dislocation of marketsand a generic miss pricing of liquidity, the risk adjusted returnson offer continue to be attractive for the independently mindedinvestor.OutlookWhilst taking into account the recent soft patch in European highyield markets, we remain optimistic for the asset class for the yearahead. Despite the significant economic disparity in growth profilesacross Europe and the ensuing concern with sovereign solvencyand political leadership, lead economic indicators continue to pointtowards weakened, but positive growth. An environment of lowgrowth, lower policy rates, abundant liquidity and fair valuations isan attractive one for high yield and especially so when adjusted forinflation. An environment of uncertainty is not automatically a poorone for high yield.Furthermore, corporations remain prudent with their liquiditymanagement as evidenced by the build up of cash on balancesheets, a lowering of capital expenditure to preserve cash flow anda lowering of refinance risk as firms termed out short dated debtmaturities over the course of the year. As such we are confident thatdefault risk remains low for 2011.<strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong> 61Euro High Yielding Fixed Income

<strong>Global</strong> Aggregate BondFor the year ended 30 June 2011PerformanceFor the year ended 30 June 2011, the value of the <strong>Global</strong> AggregateBond - Z Accumulation shares increased 11.53% compared toan increase of 10.51% in the benchmark, Barclays Capital <strong>Global</strong>Aggregate Bond Index.Source : BNP Paribas, Total Return, USD.Manager’s review<strong>Global</strong> bond markets were volatile throughout the year with yieldsinitially reaching record lows in most major markets as the recoveryin the US was called into question. In order to stimulate growth,the US Federal Reserve announced further quantitative easingmeasures in November through the purchase of US$600 billion inTreasury securities by June 2011. Although the labour and housingmarkets remained weak, strong economic data in other sectors andthe effects of fiscal stimulus resulted in a sharp rise in US Treasuryyields. Led by the US and Europe, yields across the spectrumincreased as the end of 2010 approached.At the start of 2011, bond yields rose further as the financial marketsbecame increasingly focused on the implications of higher inflation.These concerns centred on the effects of higher energy prices asthe escalation of political events in the Middle East and NorthAfrica prompted a further spike in oil prices. Towards the end of theperiod the global economy decelerated. An increase in petrol pricesdecreased real incomes and consumers’ spending power, especiallyin the US. This is in turn resulted in decline in demand for goods anda slowdown in global manufacturing, exacerbated by the Japaneseearthquake.For much of the period, Peripheral Eurozone countries came undersevere pressure from bond investors concerned over levels ofindebtedness. Yields on peripheral sovereign debt rose significantlyas investors shunned the bond markets. Greece was the firstperipheral nation to undergo a crisis, followed by Ireland in thefourth quarter of 2010 and Portugal in the second quarter of 2011.EU/IMF bailouts failed to calm the markets as expected and fearsabout the fiscal situation in other Eurozone countries kept yieldspreads versus German bunds at record high levels. Towards the endof the year under review, fears of a Greek default dominated themarkets and led to the widespread risk aversion.As a result, 10-year US Treasuries ended the period under review at3.16%, 23 basis points higher than a year earlier. 10-year Germanbunds increased 45 basis points to 3.03% while yields on 10-yearGreek bonds increased 591 basis points to 16.34%. The yield onPortuguese and Irish bonds increased by 520 and 620 basis pointsrespectively, reaching 10.9% and 11.7%.Within the corporate credit markets fundamentals remained robust.Financials in particular recorded a strong performance, despitefinishing the period on a weaker note. Subordinated financialsbenefited strongly from the Basel Committee’s eagerly awaitedannouncement on future capital requirements for the bankingsector, which provided a strong incentive for banks to redeem debtat the first call date. Towards the end of the period, concerns overGreece and weaker global economic data led to heightened riskaversion and a widening of credit spreads, with financials the worstaffected due to their high correlation with sovereign bonds.Overall, US securitised bonds did well over the year. Non-agencyResidential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) performedparticularly well over the period, although speculation surroundingforeclosures caused volatility.In the currency markets, US dollar underperformed most majorcurrencies. Currencies regarded as safer havens, most notably theSwiss franc, were the top performers. Euro also strengthened againstthe US dollar, benefitting from interest rates hikes introduced bythe ECB.Portfolio reviewThe Fund outperformed its benchmark over the period under review.Positive contributions from our credit and currency strategies morethan compensated for relative losses from interest rate decisions.Security selection within credit added the most value, withthe notable exception of issues linked to peripheral marketswhich suffered spread widening. In the securitized sector, strongperformance also came from the fund’s overweight allocation tonon-agency residential mortgages.Our currency strategy got off to a good start with a strong rally inthe euro benefiting our long exposure versus the US dollar and Swissfranc. Towards the end of the period, an underweight position in theEuro against the US dollar added value however, this was largelyoffset by losses from being underweight the Swiss franc.Within interest rates, in the second half of 2010 our preferencefor positioning along the yield curve favoured a flattening bias,but stronger US economic data and heavy fiscal stimulus causedthe curve to steepen negatively impacting the fund. In the secondquarter of 2011, the fund’s short duration position via the US and UKwas a disadvantage for the most part given the fall in bond yields.The relative market strategy to be overweight the Swedish marketrelative to the UK also contributed negatively as gilts rallied on weakUK data.66 <strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong><strong>Global</strong> Aggregate Bond


OutlookLooking ahead, we believe that US growth will reaccelerate in thesecond half of 2011. Business investment is likely to pick up and themanufacturing sector will benefit from easing supply side constraintswhich should boost auto production. Furthermore, consumptionshould recover on lower gasoline prices, an ongoing reduction in thehousehold debt service burden and tentative signs of improvementin the housing market. Against this backdrop we anticipate that USTreasury yields will rise in the months ahead.In the eurozone, we expect the ECB to maintain a hawkish bias.In addition, the spread tightening that has occurred will likelycontinue in the short-term due to positioning and favourable supplydynamics, particularly in the likes of Spain and Italy. However, in themedium-term, the Greek situation is not sustainable and very visiblepublic anger about austerity measures may make it difficult for thesemeasures to be implemented fully.<strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong> 67<strong>Global</strong> Aggregate Bond

<strong>Global</strong> BondFor the year ended 30 June 2011PerformanceFor the year ended 30 June 2011, the value of <strong>Global</strong> Bond -J Accumulation shares increased by 10.80% compared toan increase of 10.54% in the benchmark, Citigroup WorldGovernment Bond Index.Source : BNP Paribas, Total Return, USD.Manager’s review<strong>Global</strong> bond markets were volatile throughout the year with yieldsinitially reaching record lows in most major markets as the recoveryin the US was called into question. In order to stimulate growth,the US Federal Reserve announced further quantitative easingmeasures in November through the purchase of US$600 billion inTreasury securities by June 2011. Although the labour and housingmarkets remained weak, strong economic data in other sectors andthe effects of fiscal stimulus resulted in a sharp rise in US Treasuryyields. Led by the US and Europe, yields across the spectrumincreased as the end of 2010 approached.At the start of 2011, bond yields rose further as the financial marketsbecame increasingly focused on the implications of higher inflation.These concerns centred on the effects of higher energy prices asthe escalation of political events in the Middle East and NorthAfrica prompted a further spike in oil prices. Towards the end of theperiod the global economy decelerated. An increase in petrol pricesdecreased real incomes and consumers’ spending power, especiallyin the US. This is in turn resulted in decline in demand for goods anda slowdown in global manufacturing, exacerbated by the Japaneseearthquake.For much of the period, Peripheral Eurozone countries came undersevere pressure from bond investors concerned over levels ofindebtedness. Yields on peripheral sovereign debt rose significantlyas investors shunned the bond markets. Greece was the firstperipheral nation to undergo a crisis, followed by Ireland in thefourth quarter of 2010 and Portugal in the second quarter of 2011.EU/IMF bailouts failed to calm the markets as expected and fearsabout the fiscal situation in other Eurozone countries kept yieldspreads versus German bunds at record high levels. Towards the endof the year under review, fears of a Greek default dominated themarkets and led to the widespread risk aversion.As a result, 10-year US Treasuries ended the period under review at3.16%, 23 basis points higher than a year earlier. 10-year Germanbunds increased 45 basis points to 3.03% while yields on 10-yearGreek bonds increased 591 basis points to 16.34%. The yield onPortuguese and Irish bonds increased by 520 and 620 basis pointsrespectively, reaching 10.9% and 11.7%.Within the corporate credit markets fundamentals remained robust.Financials in particular recorded a strong performance, despitefinishing the period on a weaker note. Towards the end of theperiod, concerns over Greece and weaker global economic dataled to heightened risk aversion and a widening of credit spreads,with financials the worst affected due to their high correlation withsovereign bonds.In the currency markets, US dollar underperformed most majorcurrencies. Currencies regarded as safer havens, most notablythe Swiss franc, were the top performers. Euro also strengthenedagainst the US dollar, benefitting from interest rates hikesintroduced by the ECB.Portfolio reviewThe Fund outperformed its benchmark over the period under review.Positive contributions from our allocation to non-governmentsecurities and currency strategies more than compensated forrelative losses from interest rate decisions.Security selection within credit added the most value, with thenotable exception of issues linked to peripheral markets whichsuffered spread widening. Our currency strategy got off to a goodstart with a strong rally in the euro benefiting our long exposureversus the US dollar and Swiss franc. Towards the end of theperiod, an underweight position in the Euro against the US dollaradded value however, this was largely offset by losses from beingunderweight the Swiss franc.Within interest rates, in the second half of 2010 our preferencefor positioning along the yield curve favoured a flattening bias,but stronger US economic data and heavy fiscal stimulus causedthe curve to steepen negatively impacting the fund. In the secondquarter of 2011, the fund’s short duration position via the US and UKwas a disadvantage for the most part given the fall in bond yields.The relative market strategy to be overweight the Swedish marketrelative to the UK also contributed negatively as gilts rallied on weakUK data.OutlookLooking ahead, we believe that US growth will reaccelerate in thesecond half of 2011. Business investment is likely to pick up and themanufacturing sector will benefit from easing supply side constraintswhich should boost auto production. Furthermore, consumptionshould recover on lower gasoline prices, an ongoing reduction in thehousehold debt service burden and tentative signs of improvementin the housing market. Against this backdrop we anticipate that USTreasury yields will rise in the months ahead.<strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong> 83<strong>Global</strong> Bond


In the eurozone, we expect the ECB to maintain a hawkish bias.In addition, the spread tightening that has occurred will likelycontinue in the short-term due to positioning and favourable supplydynamics, particularly in the likes of Spain and Italy. However, in themedium-term, the Greek situation is not sustainable and very visiblepublic anger about austerity measures may make it difficult for thesemeasures to be implemented fully.Throughout the European sovereign debt crisis, gilts have continuedto be seen as a ‘safe haven’. However, there are some reasons tobe a little concerned about the sustainability of the government’sfiscal path in the UK if the British economy continues to performweakly. It seems the balance of risks is to the downside, with a weakconsumer seeing his wealth and spending power eroded, increasingloss of credibility in the <strong>Bank</strong> of England’s commitment to itsinflation target, and political risk around the government’s fiscalplans. We believe that yields are likely to rise from current levels.We expect to see a decent recovery in Japan as production andconsumer sentiment bounces back, and yields rise as Greek worriessubside and global growth shows resilience going into the secondhalf of 2011.In the credit markets, with European fiscal imbalances and talk ofsovereign default dominating markets, spreads are likely to remainvolatile over the coming months. The direction of markets overthe short to medium term is as likely to be driven by politics andpublic reaction to austerity rather than corporate fundamentals andeconomic growth. However, we believe that good fundamentalsand recovering economies will drive spreads tighter by the end ofthe year.84 <strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong><strong>Global</strong> Bond

Peripheral eurozone countries came under severepressure from bond investors concerned over levels of indebtedness.Yields on peripheral sovereign debt rose significantly as investorsshunned the bond market. Greece was the first peripheral nation toundergo a crisis, followed by Ireland in the fourth quarter of 2010and Portugal in the second quarter of 2011. EU/IMF bailouts failed tocalm the markets as expected and fears about the fiscal situation inother Eurozone countries kept yield spreads versus German bunds atrecord high levels. Towards the end of the year under review, fears ofGreek default dominated the markets and led to the widespreadrisk aversion.In the US, after much speculation, the Federal Reserve announcedfurther quantitative easing measures. It purchased US$600 billion inTreasury securities by June 2011. Some market participants believethat the Fed may introduce further asset purchases if economic datadoes not improve. At present, we do not believe that the third roundof quantitative easing will be necessary.In the UK, inflation continued to disappoint and initially led to anincreasingly hawkish stance by some members of the MonetaryPolicy Committee. However, towards the end of the period underreview, some of the members signalled that further quantitativeeasing might become necessary if demand growth remains sluggish,especially in the face of the eurozone crisis. Interest rates wereheld steady at 0.5% over the year where they have now remainedfor almost 2 years. The size of the Asset Purchase Programme alsoremained stable at £200 billion despite MPC member Adam Posenvoting for a £50 billion increase.The gilt market was volatile over the 12-month period. Gilts ralliedsignificantly in the first half of the year with yields on 10-year bondsfalling to a low of 2.83% in August. By February 2011, yields rose toa high of 3.88% on the back of the bailouts, positive UK economicdata and stubbornly high inflation. Renewed sovereign debt fears inthe second quarter of 2011 supported the gilt market and 10-yeargilts ended the period under review at 3.38%, overall just 2 basispoints higher than a year earlier. Persistently high inflation hasenabled index linked gilts to outperform conventional gilts and the10-year breakeven inflation rate increased 20 basis points to 3.1% atthe end of June 2011.Credit markets outperformed government bonds over the periodunder review. The average yield spread over gilts narrowed 5 basispoints to end the reporting period at +1.92%. The market wascharacterised by generally strong fundamentals and companies onthe whole reported results that exceeded expectations.Despite finishing the period under review on a weaker note,financials recorded an overall strong performance. Subordinatedfinancials benefited strongly from the Basel Committee’s eagerlyawaited announcement on future capital requirements for thebanking sector, which provided a strong incentive for banks toredeem debt at the first call date. Spain’s actions to acceleratethe clean up of its savings banks and peripheral banks funding incovered bond markets have helped to improve the sentiment aroundperipheral sovereign finances. However, towards the end of theperiod under review the Greek crisis and softer economic data hada negative impact on the credit markets leading to wider spreads.The high level of volatility did create many opportunities to addvalue through security selection.Portfolio reviewThe Fund underperformed its benchmark over the period underreview. Within interest rates, short duration positions in the UKmarket made a negative contribution to performance while a longduration position at the front end of the European curve addedvalue. Overweight exposure to the US bond market versus the UKmarket benefitted the portfolio while overweight exposure to theSwedish bond market versus the UK market detracted value. Securityselection within index-linked gilts made a negative contribution toperformance.OutlookThroughout the European sovereign debt crisis, gilts have continuedto be seen as a ‘safe haven’. However, there are some reasons to be alittle concerned about the sustainability of the government’s fiscal pathif the UK economy continues to perform weakly, particularly given thegovernment’s willingness to change course on a number of issues.Given all this, it seems the balance of risks is to the downside, witha weak consumer seeing his wealth and spending power eroded,increasing loss of credibility in the <strong>Bank</strong> of England’s commitment toits inflation target, and political risk around the government’s fiscalplans.

Peripheral eurozone countries came under severepressure from bond investors concerned over levels of indebtedness.Yields on peripheral sovereign debt rose significantly as investorsshunned the bond market. Greece was the first peripheral nation toundergo a crisis, followed by Ireland in the fourth quarter of 2010and Portugal in the second quarter of 2011.

Long Dated Sterling BondFor the year ended 30 June 2011PerformanceFor the year ended 30 June 2011, the value of Long Dated SterlingBond - Z Accumulation shares increased by 2.42% compared toan increase of 2.81% in the benchmark, FTSE-A British Government>15 Year Index.Source: BNP Paribas, Total Return, GBP.Manager’s review<strong>Global</strong> fixed income markets were volatile throughout the periodunder review. Peripheral eurozone countries came under severepressure from bond investors concerned over levels of indebtedness.Yields on peripheral sovereign debt rose significantly as investorsshunned the bond market. Greece was the first peripheral nation toundergo a crisis, followed by Ireland in the fourth quarter of 2010and Portugal in the second quarter of 2011. EU/IMF bailouts failed tocalm the markets as expected and fears about the fiscal situation inother Eurozone countries kept yield spreads versus Germanbunds at record high levels. Towards the end of the year underreview, fears of Greek default dominated the markets and led tothe widespread risk aversion.In the US, after much speculation, the Federal Reserve announcedfurther quantitative easing measures. It purchased US$600 billion inTreasury securities by June 2011. Some market participants believethat the Fed may introduce further asset purchases if economic datadoes not improve. At present, we do not believe that the third roundof quantitative easing will be necessary.In the UK, inflation continued to disappoint and initially led to anincreasingly hawkish stance by some members of the MonetaryPolicy Committee. However, towards the end of the period underreview, some of the members signalled that further quantitativeeasing might become necessary if demand growth remains sluggish,especially in the face of the eurozone crisis. Interest rates wereheld steady at 0.5% over the year where they have now remainedfor almost 2 years. The size of the Asset Purchase Programme alsoremained stable at £200 billion despite MPC member Adam Posenvoting for a £50 billion increase.The gilt market was volatile over the 12-month period. Gilts ralliedsignificantly in the first half of the year with yields on 10-year bondsfalling to a low of 2.83% in August. By February 2011, yields rose toa high of 3.88% on the back of the bailouts, positive UK economicdata and stubbornly high inflation. Renewed sovereign debt fears inthe second quarter of 2011 supported the gilt market and 10-yeargilts ended the period under review at 3.38%, overall just 2 basispoints higher than a year earlier.Credit markets outperformed government bonds over the periodunder review. The average long-dated yield spread over giltsnarrowed 3 basis points to end the reporting period at +1.59%.The market was characterised by generally strong fundamentalsand companies on the whole reported results that exceededexpectations.Despite finishing the period under review on a weaker note,financials recorded an overall strong performance. Subordinatedfinancials benefited strongly from the Basel Committee’s eagerlyawaited announcement on future capital requirements for thebanking sector, which provided a strong incentive for banks toredeem debt at the first call date. Spain’s actions to acceleratethe clean up of its savings banks and peripheral banks funding incovered bond markets have helped to improve the sentiment aroundperipheral sovereign finances. However, towards the end of theperiod under review the Greek crisis and softer economic data hada negative impact on the credit markets leading to wider spreads.The high level of volatility did create many opportunities to addvalue through security selection.Portfolio reviewThe Fund underperformed its benchmark over the period underreview. Within interest rates, short duration and yield curveflattening positions in the UK market made a negative contributionto performance while a long duration position at the front end ofthe European curve added value. Overweight exposure to the USbond market versus the UK market benefitted the portfolio whileoverweight exposure to the Swedish bond market versus the UKmarket detracted value. Security selection within long-dated creditadded value.OutlookThroughout the European sovereign debt crisis, gilts have continuedto be seen as a ‘safe haven’. However, there are some reasons to bea little concerned about the sustainability of the government’s fiscalpath if the UK economy continues to perform weakly, particularlygiven the government’s willingness to change courseon a number of issues.Given all this, it seems the balance of risks is to the downside, witha weak consumer seeing his wealth and spending power eroded,increasing loss of credibility in the <strong>Bank</strong> of England’s commitment toits inflation target, and political risk around the government’s fiscalplans. In essence, the recent past has been a sweet spot for the giltmarket, with final demand weak enough for the MPC to maintainhighly accommodative monetary policy but not quite the doubledip which would compromise the government’s ability to reducethe deficit in a manner which the markets will like. We believe thatyields are likely to rise from current levels.With European fiscal imbalances and talk of sovereign defaultdominating markets, credit spreads are likely to remain volatileover the coming months. Severe tail risks abound and the directionof markets over the short to medium term is as likely to bedriven by politics and public reaction to austerity as by corporatefundamentals and economic growth. Indeed, in the US, Congressis approaching the August deadline for it to approve an increase inthe US debt ceiling or risk having to begin defaulting on obligations.While a low probability, failure to agree would clearly havesignificant global implications. We believe that strong corporatefundamentals and recovering economies will drive spreads tighterby the end of the year.<strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong> 103Long Dated Sterling Bond

Long Dated Sterling CreditFor the year ended 30 June 2011PerformanceFor the year ended 30 June 2011, the value of Long Dated SterlingCredit - Z Accumulation Income shares increased by 5.01%compared to an increase of 4.62% in the benchmark, <strong>Bank</strong> ofAmerica Merrill Lynch Sterling Non-Gilts > 10 Year Index.Source: BNP Paribas, Total Return, GBP.Manager’s review<strong>Global</strong> fixed income markets were volatile throughout the periodunder review. Peripheral eurozone countries came under severepressure from bond investors concerned over levels of indebtedness.Yields on peripheral sovereign debt rose significantly as investorsshunned the bond market. Greece was the first peripheral nation toundergo a crisis, followed by Ireland in the fourth quarter of 2010and Portugal in the second quarter of 2011. EU/IMF bailouts failed tocalm the markets as expected and fears about the fiscal situation inother Eurozone countries kept yield spreads versus Germanbunds at record high levels. Towards the end of the year underreview, fears of Greek default dominated the markets and led tothe widespread risk aversion.In the US, after much speculation, the Federal Reserve announcedfurther quantitative easing measures. It purchased US$600 billion inTreasury securities by June 2011. Some market participants believethat the Fed may introduce further asset purchases if economic datadoes not improve. At present, we do not believe that the third roundof quantitative easing will be necessary.In the UK, inflation continued to disappoint and initially led to anincreasingly hawkish stance by some members of the MonetaryPolicy Committee. However, towards the end of the period underreview, some of the members signalled that further quantitativeeasing might become necessary if demand growth remains sluggish,especially in the face of the eurozone crisis. Interest rates wereheld steady at 0.5% over the year where they have now remainedfor almost 2 years. The size of the Asset Purchase Programme alsoremained stable at £200 billion despite MPC member Adam Posenvoting for a £50 billion increase.The gilt market was volatile over the 12-month period. Gilts ralliedsignificantly in the first half of the year with yields on 10-year bondsfalling to a low of 2.83% in August. By February 2011, yields rose toa high of 3.88% on the back of the bailouts, positive UK economicdata and stubbornly high inflation. Renewed sovereign debt fears inthe second quarter of 2011 supported the gilt market and 10-yeargilts ended the period under review at 3.38%, overall just 2 basispoints higher than a year earlier.Credit markets outperformed government bonds over the periodunder review. The average long-dated yield spread over giltsnarrowed 3 basis points to end the reporting period at +1.59%.The market was characterised by generally strong fundamentalsand companies on the whole reported results that exceededexpectations.Despite finishing the period under review on a weaker note,financials recorded an overall strong performance. Subordinatedfinancials benefited strongly from the Basel Committee’s eagerlyawaited announcement on future capital requirements for thebanking sector, which provided a strong incentive for banks toredeem debt at the first call date. Spain’s actions to acceleratethe clean up of its savings banks and peripheral banks funding incovered bond markets have helped to improve the sentiment aroundperipheral sovereign finances. However, towards the end of theperiod under review the Greek crisis and softer economic data hada negative impact on the credit markets leading to wider spreads.The high level of volatility did create many opportunities to addvalue through security selection.Portfolio reviewThe Fund outperformed its benchmark over the period under review.Security selection within long-dated credit added value, the fundbenefitting from overweight exposure to financials. Within interestrates, short duration and yield curve flattening positions in the UKmarket made a negative contribution to performance while a longduration position at the front end of the European curve addedvalue. Overweight exposure to the US bond market versus the UKmarket benefitted the portfolio while overweight exposure to theSwedish bond market versus the UK market detracted value.OutlookThroughout the European sovereign debt crisis, gilts have continuedto be seen as a ‘safe haven’. However, there are some reasons to be alittle concerned about the sustainability of the government’s fiscal pathif the UK economy continues to perform weakly, particularly given thegovernment’s willingness to change course on a number of issues.Given all this, it seems the balance of risks is to the downside, witha weak consumer seeing his wealth and spending power eroded,increasing loss of credibility in the <strong>Bank</strong> of England’s commitment toits inflation target, and political risk around the government’s fiscalplans. In essence, the recent past has been a sweet spot for the giltmarket, with final demand weak enough for the MPC to maintainhighly accommodative monetary policy but not quite the doubledip which would compromise the government’s ability to reducethe deficit in a manner which the markets will like. We believe thatyields are likely to rise from current levels.With European fiscal imbalances and talk of sovereign defaultdominating markets, credit spreads are likely to remain volatileover the coming months. Severe tail risks abound and the directionof markets over the short to medium term is as likely to bedriven by politics and public reaction to austerity as by corporatefundamentals and economic growth. Indeed, in the US, Congressis approaching the August deadline for it to approve an increase inthe US debt ceiling or risk having to begin defaulting on obligations.While a low probability, failure to agree would clearly havesignificant global implications. We believe that strong corporatefundamentals and recovering economies will drive spreads tighterby the end of the year.<strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong> 107Long Dated Sterling Credit

Although Japan suffered a devastating tsunamiand earthquake that threatened the global supply chain, its impacton the rest of Asia appeared limited. Along with dwindling economicslack, increases in the prices of food, energy and other commoditiesdrove up inflation. In response, central banks tightened monetarypolicy further; the People’s <strong>Bank</strong> of China hiked its policy rate fourtimes and banks’ reserve requirements nine times. Others allowedtheir currencies to appreciate to alleviate imported price pressures.This contrasted with most Western central banks, which on thewhole maintained very loose monetary conditions.The MSCI AC Asia Pacific Index rose by more than 20%, led byKorea, Thailand and Australia on expectations of better demandfor technology products and natural resources. Against this, Indiaand China underperformed on the back of inflationary fears, withIndia’s poor showing exacerbated further by corruption scandalssurrounding the issuance of 2G telecom licences.Similarly, Asian fixed income markets also posted gains, albeit smallerthan those of their equity counterparts. Local-currency bonds weredampened by the improving economic environment and monetarytightening cycle, which weighed on the short end of the yield curve,but they performed well during periods of instability that weretriggered by political unrest in the Middle East and north Africa,Japan’s devastating earthquake and Europe’s sovereign debt problems.Credit markets started the year on a positive note but gains werepared towards the period-end on concerns over corporate governancein the high-yield industrial sector. Meanwhile, Asian currencies roseagainst the US dollar, although they fell against the euro and the yen.The won, Singapore and Taiwan dollars climbed by more than 10%each against the US dollar, while China’s move to internationalisegradually its currency picked up traction with a 4.7% gain.114 <strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong>Multi Asset Asia Pacific


Portfolio reviewThe Fund rose by more than the benchmark during the period, thanksto outperformance in both the Asian equity and fixed income sleeves.Performance of the fixed income sleeve was driven by our currencyexposure, particularly the overweight to the won and Singaporedollar. However, some of these gains were negated by ourunderweight position to the appreciating Taiwan dollar in the latterpart of 2010.In contrast, our interest rate strategies detracted as yields rose inIndonesia and the Philippines in the latter part of 2010, althoughlosses were pared slightly by the exposure to Korea, particularly toinflation-protected securities. The portfolio’s credit allocations addedvalue in the first part of the period as the overweight exposure tothe region’s financials proved positive but underperformed towardsthe period-end largely because of our overweight to Chineseindustrials that bore the brunt of increased supply and increasingscrutiny on corporate governance.In the equity sleeve, stock selection was the main driver ofperformance, outweighing negative asset allocation. The nonbenchmarkexposure to the <strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> - Indian Equity Fundproved positive, while our Taiwan holdings Taiwan Mobile and TSMCfared better than the broader market. In Hong Kong, ASM PacificTechnology’s order book rebounded, reflecting good global demand;PetroChina was underpinned by the spike in oil and commodityprices; while AIA continued to gain traction in clawing back some ofits lost market share.In the longer run, domestic demand is likely to play an increasinglyimportant role in Asia’s economic growth as policymakers rebalancegrowth to lessen the dependency on exports. Strong incomegrowth should underpin private investment, while governments areencouraging foreign direct investment, particularly in Indonesia,Malaysia and the Philippines. At the same time, central banks willallow their currencies to rise to be more closely linked to economicfundamentals.We plan to maintain our equity allocation at neutral (40%) for thetime being as we believe that upside and downside risks remainbalanced. Although Asia’s fundamentals are sound, particularly withrespect to the West, its markets are still very susceptible to swingsin global risk appetite. Given good long-term growth prospects forthe region, we will likely view any weakness in markets as a resultof debt-related problems in the US and Europe as opportunities toincrease the equity weighting.OutlookThe global economic recovery appears to be losing momentum.Although this is in part due to transitory factors such as higher oilprices and Japan’s earthquake, it seems that more structural forcessuch as household deleveraging in advanced countries such as theUS and the UK may also be at work. As such, we expect economicperformance to remain subpar in the coming months, whilegovernments stand ready to support growth should economies faltermore drastically. Nevertheless, price pressures remain a concern inAsia, with core inflation rising recently as countries face domesticcapacity constraints such as labour shortages and industrialproduction bottlenecks.<strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong> 115Multi Asset Asia Pacific

Employment and growth data in thefirst quarter was better than expected although both tailed of in thesecond quarter. The more recent weak results highlight a stutteringeconomic recovery in the US, which has consequently had a negativeimpact on consumer confidence. The year has been described bymany as a soft patch in the recovery, rather than the beginning of adouble dip recession.Inflation has risen throughout 2011, with year-on-year CPI up from1.6% at the end of January to 3.6% in June. This positive trend waslargely driven by commodity price increases which have put upwardpressure on energy prices. Oil prices soared due to unrest in Libyaand the Middle East, whilst the Japanese earthquake in March hascaused supply problems for manufacturers.Quantative easing 2 was completed at the end of June after theFederal Reserve purchased a cumulative total of US$600 billion inTreasury securities throughout the program. This helped to offsetthe negative impact from the sovereign problems in the eurozoneon credit markets. Whilst it has been suggested that furtherquantitative easing may take place if data does not improve, BenBernanke the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, has played down anyprospect of quantative easing 3 taking place for now.Negotiations over extending the US debt ceiling have come to thefore more recently and are likely to result in tighter fiscal policy.Lack of agreement has resulted in both the rating agencies, Moody’sand S&P, to put the US on negative watch for potential downgrade.If the disagreement is not resolved it could cause chaos in globalfinancial markets and damage the dollar’s status as a global reservecurrency.Further concern in peripheral European sovereign debt marketscontinues to unsettle investors. Greece finally voted in favour ofausterity measures to secure its second round of joint EU-IMFfunding but anxiety still surrounds Portugal and Ireland. Morerecently Spain and Italy have dominated news flows due to fears ofcontagion and mounting debt-GDP ratios.The US bond market was volatile throughout the year with yieldsinitially reaching record lows as the economic recovery was calledinto question.. Although the labour and housing markets remainedweak, strong economic data in other sectors and the effects of fiscalstimulus resulted in a sharp rise in US Treasury yields across thespectrum as the end of 2010 approached.At the start of 2011, bond yields rose further as the financial marketsbecame increasingly focused on the implications of higher inflation.These concerns centred on the effects of higher energy prices as theescalation of political events in the Middle East and North Africaprompted a further spike in oil prices. Towards the end of the periodthe economy decelerated. An increase in petrol prices decreased realincomes and consumers’ spending power, especially in the US. Thisis in turn resulted in decline in demand for goods and a slowdown inglobal manufacturing, exacerbated by the Japanese earthquake. Asa result, 2-year US Treasuries ended the period under review around0.5%.Portfolio reviewThroughout the period we have continued to add to the Fund’sfloating rate note exposure which has provided a good source ofadditional yield. As it became more apparent that any rise in interestrates was being pushed out towards late 2012, we sold out of someshort-dated fixed and floating paper into longer-dated maturitiesfor higher yield. We have had a curve flattening position within theFund which has worked well with the fall in longer dated yields.130 <strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong>Short Term US Dollar Bond


OutlookAs the Federal Reserve continues to look at overall level growthand fuller employment, any upward move in interest rates remainsa long way off. High severity tail risks abound and the direction ofmarkets over the short to medium term is as likely to be driven bypolitics and public reaction to austerity as much as by corporatefundamentals and economic growth. Indeed, in the US, Congress isapproaching the August deadline for approval of an increase in theUS debt ceiling or risk having to begin defaulting on obligations.While a low probability, failure to agree would clearly havesignificant global implications.<strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> 131Short Term US Dollar Bond

Peripheral eurozone countries came under severepressure from bond investors concerned over levels of indebtedness.Yields on peripheral sovereign debt rose significantly as investorsshunned the bond market. Greece was the first peripheral nation toundergo a crisis, followed by Ireland in the fourth quarter of 2010and Portugal in the second quarter of 2011. EU/IMF bailouts failed tocalm the markets as expected and fears about the fiscal situation inother Eurozone countries kept yield spreads versus German bunds atrecord high levels. Towards the end of the year under review, fears ofGreek default dominated the markets and led to the widespread riskaversion.In the US, after much speculation, the Federal Reserve announcedfurther quantitative easing measures. It purchased US$600 billion inTreasury securities by June 2011. Some market participants believethat the Fed may introduce further asset purchases if economic datadoes not improve. At present, we do not believe that the third roundof quantitative easing will be necessary.In the UK, inflation continued¬ to disappoint and initially led to anincreasingly hawkish stance by some members of the MonetaryPolicy Committee. However, towards the end of the period underreview, some of the members signalled that further quantitativeeasing might become necessary if demand growth remains sluggish,especially in the face of the eurozone crisis. Interest rates wereheld steady at 0.5% over the year where they have now remainedfor almost 2 years. The size of the Asset Purchase Programme alsoremained stable at £200 billion despite MPC member Adam Posenvoting for a £50 billion increase.The gilt market was volatile over the 12-month period. Gilts ralliedsignificantly in the first half of the year with yields on 10-year bondsfalling to a low of 2.83% in August. By February 2011, yields rose toa high of 3.88% on the back of the bailouts, positive UK economicdata and stubbornly high inflation. Renewed sovereign debt fears inthe second quarter of 2011 supported the gilt market and 10-yeargilts ended the period under review at 3.38%, overall just 2 basispoints higher than a year earlier.Credit markets outperformed government bonds over the periodunder review. The average yield spread over gilts narrowed 5 basispoints to end the reporting period at +1.92%. The market wascharacterised by generally strong fundamentals and companies onthe whole reported results that exceeded expectations.Despite finishing the period under review on a weaker note,financials recorded an overall strong performance. Subordinatedfinancials benefited strongly from the Basel Committee’s eagerlyawaited announcement on future capital requirements for thebanking sector, which provided a strong incentive for banks toredeem debt at the first call date. Spain’s actions to acceleratethe clean up of its savings banks and peripheral banks funding incovered bond markets have helped to improve the sentiment aroundperipheral sovereign finances. However, towards the end of theperiod under review the Greek crisis and softer economic data had anegative impact on the credit markets leading to wider spreads. Thehigh level of volatility did create many opportunities to add valuethrough security selection.Portfolio reviewThe Fund outperformed its benchmark over the period underreview. Security selection within credit added most value, the fundbenefitting from overweight exposure to financials. Within interestrates, short duration and yield curve flattening positions in the UKmarket made a negative contribution to performance while a longduration position at the front end of the European curve addedvalue. Overweight exposure to the US bond market versus the UKmarket benefitted the portfolio while overweight exposure to theSwedish bond market versus the UK market detracted value.<strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> 137Sterling Aggregate Bond


OutlookThroughout the European sovereign debt crisis, gilts have continuedto be seen as a ‘safe haven’. However, there are some reasons to bea little concerned about the sustainability of the government’s fiscalpath if the UK economy continues to perform weakly, particularlygiven the government’s willingness to change course on a numberof issues.Given all this, it seems the balance of risks is to the downside, witha weak consumer seeing his wealth and spending power eroded,increasing loss of credibility in the <strong>Bank</strong> of England’s commitment toits inflation target, and political risk around the government’s fiscalplans. In essence, the recent past has been a sweet spot for the giltmarket, with final demand weak enough for the MPC to maintainhighly accommodative monetary policy but not quite the doubledip which would compromise the government’s ability to reducethe deficit in a manner which the markets will like. We believe thatyields are likely to rise from current levels.With European fiscal imbalances and talk of sovereign defaultdominating markets, credit spreads are likely to remain volatileover the coming months. Severe tail risks abound and the directionof markets over the short to medium term is as likely to bedriven by politics and public reaction to austerity as by corporatefundamentals and economic growth. Indeed, in the US, Congressis approaching the August deadline for it to approve an increase inthe US debt ceiling or risk having to begin defaulting on obligations.While a low probability, failure to agree would clearly havesignificant global implications. We believe that strong corporatefundamentals and recovering economies will drive spreads tighter bythe end of the year.138 <strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong>Sterling Aggregate Bond

Sterling BondFor the year ended 30 June 2011PerformanceFor the year ended 30 June 2011, the value of Sterling Bond Fund - ZAccumulation shares increased by 2.98% compared to an increase of3.45% in the benchmark, FTSE-A British Government Fixed > 5 YearIndex.Source: BNP Paribas, Total Return, GBPManager’s review<strong>Global</strong> fixed income markets were volatile throughout the periodunder review. Peripheral eurozone countries came under severepressure from bond investors concerned over levels of indebtedness.Yields on peripheral sovereign debt rose significantly as investorsshunned the bond market. Greece was the first peripheral nation toundergo a crisis, followed by Ireland in the fourth quarter of 2010and Portugal in the second quarter of 2011. EU/IMF bailouts failed tocalm the markets as expected and fears about the fiscal situation inother Eurozone countries kept yield spreads versus German bunds atrecord high levels. Towards the end of the year under review, fears ofGreek default dominated the markets and led to the widespread riskaversion.In the US, after much speculation, the Federal Reserve announcedfurther quantitative easing measures. It purchased US$600 billion inTreasury securities by June 2011. Some market participants believethat the Fed may introduce further asset purchases if economic datadoes not improve. At present, we do not believe that the third roundof quantitative easing will be necessary.In the UK, inflation continued to disappoint and initially led to anincreasingly hawkish stance by some members of the MonetaryPolicy Committee. However, towards the end of the period underreview, some of the members signalled that further quantitativeeasing might become necessary if demand growth remains sluggish,especially in the face of the eurozone crisis. Interest rates wereheld steady at 0.5% over the year where they have now remainedfor almost 2 years. The size of the Asset Purchase Programme alsoremained stable at £200 billion despite MPC member Adam Posenvoting for a £50 billion increase.The gilt market was volatile over the 12-month period. Gilts ralliedsignificantly in the first half of the year with yields on 10-year bondsfalling to a low of 2.83% in August. By February 2011, yields rose toa high of 3.88% on the back of the bailouts, positive UK economicdata and stubbornly high inflation. Renewed sovereign debt fears inthe second quarter of 2011 supported the gilt market and 10-yeargilts ended the period under review at 3.38%, overall just 2 basispoints higher than a year earlier.Credit markets outperformed government bonds over the periodunder review. The average yield spread over gilts narrowed 5 basispoints to end the reporting period at +1.92%. The market wascharacterised by generally strong fundamentals and companies onthe whole reported results that exceeded expectations.Despite finishing the period under review on a weaker note,financials recorded an overall strong performance. Subordinatedfinancials benefited strongly from the Basel Committee’s eagerlyawaited announcement on future capital requirements for thebanking sector, which provided a strong incentive for banks toredeem debt at the first call date. Spain’s actions to acceleratethe clean up of its savings banks and peripheral banks funding incovered bond markets have helped to improve the sentiment aroundperipheral sovereign finances. However, towards the end of theperiod under review the Greek crisis and softer economic data had anegative impact on the credit markets leading to wider spreads. Thehigh level of volatility did create many opportunities to add valuethrough security selection.Portfolio reviewThe Fund underperformed its benchmark over the period underreview. Within interest rates, short duration and yield curveflattening positions in the UK market made a negative contributionto performance while a long duration position at the front end ofthe European curve added value. Overweight exposure to the USbond market versus the UK market benefitted the portfolio whileoverweight exposure to the Swedish bond market versus the UKmarket detracted value. An allocation to credit added value.OutlookThroughout the European sovereign debt crisis, gilts have continuedto be seen as a ‘safe haven’. However, there are some reasons to bea little concerned about the sustainability of the government’s fiscalpath if the UK economy continues to perform weakly, particularlygiven the government’s willingness to change course on a numberof issues.Given all this, it seems the balance of risks is to the downside, witha weak consumer seeing his wealth and spending power eroded,increasing loss of credibility in the <strong>Bank</strong> of England’s commitment toits inflation target, and political risk around the government’s fiscalplans. In essence, the recent past has been a sweet spot for the giltmarket, with final demand weak enough for the MPC to maintainhighly accommodative monetary policy but not quite the doubledip which would compromise the government’s ability to reducethe deficit in a manner which the markets will like. We believe thatyields are likely to rise from current levels.With European fiscal imbalances and talk of sovereign defaultdominating markets, credit spreads are likely to remain volatileover the coming months. Severe tail risks abound and the directionof markets over the short to medium term is as likely to bedriven by politics and public reaction to austerity as by corporatefundamentals and economic growth. Indeed, in the US, Congressis approaching the August deadline for it to approve an increase inthe US debt ceiling or risk having to begin defaulting on obligations.While a low probability, failure to agree would clearly havesignificant global implications. We believe that strong corporatefundamentals and recovering economies will drive spreads tighter bythe end of the year.146 <strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong>Sterling Bond

Sterling CreditFor the year ended 30 June 2011PerformanceFor the year ended 30 June 2011, the value of Sterling Credit - ZAccumulation shares increased by 5.87% compared to an increaseof 5.26% in the benchmark, <strong>Bank</strong> of America Merrill Lynch SterlingNon-Gilts Index.Source: BNP Paribas, Total Return, GBPManager’s review<strong>Global</strong> fixed income markets were volatile throughout the periodunder review. Peripheral eurozone countries came under severepressure from bond investors concerned over levels of indebtedness.Yields on peripheral sovereign debt rose significantly as investorsshunned the bond market. Greece was the first peripheral nation toundergo a crisis, followed by Ireland in the fourth quarter of 2010and Portugal in the second quarter of 2011. EU/IMF bailouts failed tocalm the markets as expected and fears about the fiscal situation inother Eurozone countries kept yield spreads versus German bunds atrecord high levels. Towards the end of the year under review, fears ofGreek default dominated the markets and led to the widespread riskaversion.In the US, after much speculation, the Federal Reserve announcedfurther quantitative easing measures. It purchased US$600 billion inTreasury securities by June 2011. Some market participants believethat the Fed may introduce further asset purchases if economic datadoes not improve. At present, we do not believe that the third roundof quantitative easing will be necessary.In the UK, inflation continued to disappoint and initially led to anincreasingly hawkish stance by some members of the MonetaryPolicy Committee. However, towards the end of the period underreview, some of the members signalled that further quantitativeeasing might become necessary if demand growth remains sluggish,especially in the face of the eurozone crisis. Interest rates wereheld steady at 0.5% over the year where they have now remainedfor almost 2 years. The size of the Asset Purchase Programme alsoremained stable at £200 billion despite MPC member Adam Posenvoting for a £50 billion increase.The gilt market was volatile over the 12-month period. Gilts ralliedsignificantly in the first half of the year with yields on 10-year bondsfalling to a low of 2.83% in August. By February 2011, yields rose toa high of 3.88% on the back of the bailouts, positive UK economicdata and stubbornly high inflation. Renewed sovereign debt fears inthe second quarter of 2011 supported the gilt market and 10-yeargilts ended the period under review at 3.38%, overall just 2 basispoints higher than a year earlier.Credit markets outperformed government bonds over the periodunder review. The average yield spread over gilts narrowed 5 basispoints to end the reporting period at +1.92%. The market wascharacterised by generally strong fundamentals and companies onthe whole reported results that exceeded expectations.Despite finishing the period under review on a weaker note,financials recorded an overall strong performance. Subordinatedfinancials benefited strongly from the Basel Committee’s eagerlyawaited announcement on future capital requirements for thebanking sector, which provided a strong incentive for banks toredeem debt at the first call date. Spain’s actions to acceleratethe clean up of its savings banks and peripheral banks funding incovered bond markets have helped to improve the sentiment aroundperipheral sovereign finances. However, towards the end of theperiod under review the Greek crisis and softer economic data had anegative impact on the credit markets leading to wider spreads. Thehigh level of volatility did create many opportunities to add valuethrough security selection.Portfolio reviewThe Fund outperformed its benchmark over the period underreview. Security selection within credit added most value, the fundbenefitting from overweight exposure to financials. Within interestrates, short duration and yield curve flattening positions in the UKmarket made a negative contribution to performance while a longduration position at the front end of the European curve addedvalue. Overweight exposure to the US bond market versus the UKmarket benefitted the portfolio while overweight exposure to theSwedish bond market versus the UK market detracted value.OutlookThroughout the European sovereign debt crisis, gilts have continuedto be seen as a ‘safe haven’. However, there are some reasons to bea little concerned about the sustainability of the government’s fiscalpath if the UK economy continues to perform weakly, particularlygiven the government’s willingness to change course on a numberof issues.Given all this, it seems the balance of risks is to the downside, witha weak consumer seeing his wealth and spending power eroded,increasing loss of credibility in the <strong>Bank</strong> of England’s commitment toits inflation target, and political risk around the government’s fiscalplans. In essence, the recent past has been a sweet spot for the giltmarket, with final demand weak enough for the MPC to maintainhighly accommodative monetary policy but not quite the doubledip which would compromise the government’s ability to reducethe deficit in a manner which the markets will like. We believe thatyields are likely to rise from current levels.With European fiscal imbalances and talk of sovereign defaultdominating markets, credit spreads are likely to remain volatileover the coming months. Severe tail risks abound and the directionof markets over the short to medium term is as likely to bedriven by politics and public reaction to austerity as by corporatefundamentals and economic growth. Indeed, in the US, Congressis approaching the August deadline for it to approve an increase inthe US debt ceiling or risk having to begin defaulting on obligations.While a low probability, failure to agree would clearly havesignificant global implications. We believe that strong corporatefundamentals and recovering economies will drive spreads tighter bythe end of the year.150 <strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong>Sterling Credit

In order to stimulate growth, the Federal Reserveannounced further quantitative easing measures in Novemberthrough the purchase of US$600 billion in Treasury securities byJune 2011. Although the labour and housing markets remainedweak, strong economic data in other sectors and the effects of fiscalstimulus resulted in a sharp rise in US Treasury yields across thespectrum as the end of 2010 approached.At the start of 2011, bond yields rose further as the financial marketsbecame increasingly focused on the implications of higher inflation.These concerns centred on the effects of higher energy prices as theescalation of political events in the Middle East and North Africaprompted a further spike in oil prices. Towards the end of the periodthe economy decelerated. An increase in petrol prices decreased realincomes and consumers’ spending power, especially in the US. Thisis in turn resulted in decline in demand for goods and a slowdownin global manufacturing, exacerbated by the Japanese earthquake.As a result, 10-year US Treasuries ended the period under review at3.16%, 23 bps higher than a year earlier.Within the corporate credit markets fundamentals remained robust.Financials in particular recorded a strong performance, despitefinishing the period on a weaker note. Towards the end of theperiod, concerns over Greece and weaker global economic dataled to heightened risk aversion and a widening of credit spreads,with financials the worst affected due to their high correlation withsovereign bonds.Portfolio reviewThe Fund underperformed its benchmark over the period underreview. Our allocation to non-government securities was beneficialas credit spreads tightened over the period. However our positioningalong the yield curve in the second half of 2010 favoured a flatteningbias, but stronger US economic data and fiscal stimulus caused thecurve to steepen. Bond yields subsequently rose at the long end ofthe curve which meant the longer than benchmark duration of thefund detracted from its relative performance. In the second quarterof 2011, the fund’s short duration position was a disadvantage forthe most part given the fall in bond yields.OutlookAs the Federal Reserve continues to look at overall level growthand fuller employment, any upward move in interest rates remainsa long way off. High severity tail risks abound and the direction ofmarkets over the short to medium term is as likely to be driven bypolitics and public reaction to austerity as much as by corporatefundamentals and economic growth. Indeed, in the US, Congress isapproaching the August deadline for approval of an increase in theUS debt ceiling or risk having to begin defaulting on obligations.While a low probability, failure to agree would clearly havesignificant global implications.<strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> 159US Dollar Bond

US Dollar High Yield BondFor the year ended 30 June 2011PerformanceFor the year ended 30 June 2011, the value of US Dollar High YieldBond - I Accumulation shares increased by 16.39% compared to anincrease of 12.71% in the benchmark, the Credit Suisse Upper TierHigh Yield Index.Source: BNP Paribas, Total Return, USD.Fund name changeOn 27 July 2010, the Fund changed its name from <strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong><strong>II</strong> - <strong>Global</strong> High Yield Bond to <strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong> - US Dollar HighYield Bond.Portfolio reviewRecognizing some of the political and macroeconomic risks, ourstrategy is to maintain positioning within defensive industriesrepresented by companies with more stable end demandcharacteristics. Our portfolios are constructed via bottom-upsecurity selection, and we believe that these particular credits andsectors will perform better in the event of a market correction.Our basket of single-name short positions within our portfolio isconstructed to create alpha and buffer returns as the market exhibitsvolatility. We believe that our bottom-up credit selection, withheavy emphasis on asset valuation, will deliver strong risk-adjustedreturns over the credit cycle.Manager’s review<strong>Global</strong> fixed income markets were volatile throughout the 12-monthperiod under review. Initially the Gulf of Mexico oil spill leadto a sell-off especially in the energy, wireless communicationsand financials. Towards the end of 2010 the high yield marketrebounded and ended the year on a very positive tone, with spreadscompressing. At the beginning of 2011, political instability in the oilproducingregions and the devastating earthquake and the resultingnuclear accident in Japan led to a renewed bout of risk aversion.Towards the end of the period under review, deteriorating economicdata and sovereign debt default fears in the eurozone led to a sharpsell-off of risky assets.While the high yield primary market has been open to mostcorporate issuers since early 2010, the leveraged loan market hasopened up more significantly in the early part or 2011. While we areencouraged that leveraged finance issuers have generally expandedtheir avenues for capital access, we are somewhat concerned thatcredit standards, particularily in the loan market, may be relaxingtoo much as floating-rate loan funds and new collateralized loanobligations (CLOs) scramble to invest cash.We believe that the reshaping of the high yield maturity wall shouldkeep default rates well below their long-term averages for at leastthe next two years. While we are confident that default activitywill remain benign in the near term, we are keeping a close eye onoverall asset flows as market sentiment can quickly shift. Defaultactivity will undoubtly accelerate should the new-issue machine shutdown.OutlookWe believe that value in the high yield asset class can be definedas excess income (spread), net of anticipated default losses.Given our view of extremely low default rates over the next twoto-three years, we believe that investors are receiving attractivecompensation for a credit sector with solid fundamental support andminimal anticipated default losses.Considering the favourable fundamental outlook and the benigndefault environment, we believe that spreads should contractfurther; however, low U.S. Treasury yields should limit the potentialfor spread compression as high yield investors tend to be extremelyfocused on gross yield. In a scenario where Treasury rates movehigher, we expect spreads to compress tighter.

TheCompany comprises various classes of shares, each relating to a separate portfolio (a “Fund”) consisting of securities, cash and othersundry assets and liabilities.The Company was incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg on 18 February 2008.The Company is authorised as an undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities under part I of the law dated 20December 2002 in undertakings for collective investments as subsequently replaced by the law of 17 December 2010 on undetakings forcollective investments, and is what is known as a “UCITS <strong>II</strong>I” Fund.At 30 June 2011, the Company comprises twenty four separate active Funds, providing shareholders with opportunities for investment ina wide variety of markets, securities and currencies.1.2 Presentation of financial statementsThe accompanying financial statements present the assets and liabilities of the individual Funds and of the Company taken as a whole.The financial statements of each individual Fund are expressed in the currency designated in the prospectus for that particular Fund andthe financial statements of the Company are expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”). The financial statements have been prepared inaccordance with the format prescribed by the Luxembourg authorities for Luxembourg investment companies.As the financial statements are produced at a different valuation point to the NAV on 30 June 2011 and include dividend declarations,effective for the distribution year ended 30 June 2011 and certain accounting adjustments relating to the year ended 30 June 2011, theNet Asset Values (NAVs) shown throughout the report may differ from those advertised on 30 June 2011 for dealing in these Funds.2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES2.1 Accounting conventionThe financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention modified by the revaluation of investments.2.2 Assets and portfolio securities valuationThe market value of investments has been calculated using the last available prices at close of business on 30 June 2011 quoted on stockexchanges or over-the-counter market or any other organised market on which these investments are traded or admitted for trading.If such prices are not representative of their fair value, all such securities and all other permitted assets are valued at their fair value atwhich it is expected they may be resold as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Directors.Mortgage and other asset backed securities are independently priced using appropriate models (FT-IDC evaluated prices) and certaincorporate bonds are priced using indicative broker quotes.Security AcronymsEMTN Euro Medium Term Note SINK Sinking BondFRN Floating Rate Note VAR Variable Rate NoteINDX Index Linked PERP PerpetualCLN Credit Linked Note PIK Payment In Kind2.3 Income and expensesInterest is accrued on a day-to-day basis.

As a result of the uncertainties concerningthe realisability of income from PIK bonds, PIK interest income is recognised on a receipts basis.

The market value of the investments and other assets and liabilities in currenciesother than the relevant reporting currency has been converted at the rates of exchange ruling at 30 June 2011.Realised and unrealised exchange differences on the revaluation of foreign currencies are taken to the Statement of Operations.2.5 Realised gains and losses on investmentsRealised gains and losses on investments is the difference between the historical average cost of the investment and the sale proceeds.2.6 Forward currency exchange contractsUnsettled forward currency exchange contracts are valued using forward rates of exchange applicable at the balance sheet date for theremaining period until maturity. All unrealised gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Operations.2.7 Futures contractsFutures contracts are valued at the exchange quoted price at close of business. Initial margin deposits are made in cash upon enteringinto futures contracts. During the period the future contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognised as unrealisedgains and losses by marking to market on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contract at the end of each day’s trading.Variation margin payments are made or received, depending upon whether unrealised losses or gains are incurred. Variation marginpayments are recorded in the futures margin account in the Statement of Net Assets and related movements on unrealised results arerecorded in the Statement of Operations.

These are distinguished by their distribution policy or by anyother criteria stipulated by the Directors. Classes A-1, C-1, D-1, I-1, J-1, K-1 and Z-1 are Distribution shares and Classes A-2, C-2, D-2, I-2,J-2, K-2 and Z-2 are Accumulation shares.The Company issues the Share Classes to investors as detailed in the Annual Report and Accounts and the Prospectus. They are offeredfor sale at a price based on NAV adjusted to reflect any applicable dealing charges plus an initial charge.Class A, Class C, Class I, Class J, Class K and Class Z shares may also be made available in Euro, Sterling, Japanese Yen or US Dollarhedged versions, or such other currencies as may be determined by the Directors of the Company.The Investment Manager will generally undertake currency hedging with the intention that, if the Fund were invested 100% in itsBenchmark Index, the performance of the hedged Share Class will be protected from the moves in the value of other currencies relative<strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong> 173


Notes to the Financial Statements continuedto the currency of hedging. However, complete protection cannot be guaranteed. As the relevant Fund will not typically invest 100% inthe Benchmark Index in practice and also as the Investment Manager may not always achieve a complete benchmark hedge, investorsshould note that the relevant Fund is likely to retain some (limited) exposure (positive or negative) to currency fluctuations. In any eventsuch hedging will not exceed 105% of the Net Asset Value of the relevant Share Class. If due to market movements, a Share Class ismore than 105% hedged, a reduction to such exposure will be sought within an appropriate timescale, subject to market conditions andthe best interests of the shareholders of that Share Class.Hedges will be set and fixed at the beginning and end of each month or at any other time that the Investment Manager may deemappropriate. Investors should note that this may lead to an imperfect hedge over the lifetime of the hedge, i.e. the hedge may be aboveor below a perfect hedge in light of the respective currency value movements.The Investment Manager shall seek to achieve the hedging by using financial swaps, futures, forward currency exchange contracts, optionsand other similar derivative transactions deemed appropriate in its discretion but which are within the limits set down by the CSSF.3.2 A and D Share classesClass A and D Shares are available to all investors. Class A and Class D are subject to a rate of Taxe d’Abonnement of 0.05% per annum.Class D shares are expressed in British Pounds (“GBP”).3.3 C, I, J, K and Z Share classesClass C, I, J, K and Z Shares are intended for Institutional Investors (as defined in the Prospectus) with an initial minimum investmentlimit of USD 1 million and a subsequent minimum limit of USD 10,000. They are subject to a reduced rate of Taxe d’Abonnement of0.01% per annum.No C Shares were in issue at 30 June 2011.3.4 UK Distributor Status and UK Reporting Fund RegimeThe UK taxation authorities have approved the UK Distributor status application for the year 30 June 2010.Various share classes within the Company have been approved for the new UK Offshore Fund Regime which is the successor to the UKDistributor Status Regime.UK Reporting Fund status is granted prospectively by the UK taxation authorities. It is the intention of the Board of Directors tocontinue to comply with the requirements of the Reporting Fund Regime for all distributing shares.Distributions on all distributing share classes are subject to equalisation. Equalisation applies only to shares purchased during thedistribution period (Group 2 shares). It is the average amount of income included in the purchase price of Group 2 shares. Annually andwithin six months of the year end, the Manager will publish the UK Reporting Regime Report to investors for all share classes grantedreporting fund status on its website (www.aberdeen-asset.co.uk/global<strong>II</strong>UKAnnualReportableIncome).The UK Reporting Regime Report to investors for each share class can also be requested in writing by contacting <strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong>Services S.A. at the Shareholder Service Centre as detailed on the back cover of the Annual Report by 31 December each year.3.5 SwitchesShares in one Fund may be exchanged or switched into Shares of the same or a different Class in another Fund or of a different Class inthe same Fund, subject to the qualifications for investment being met, on any Dealing Day for the relevant Funds. Shares in the sameClass may be switched between Accumulation and Distribution shares within the same Class. Investors may switch either a specificnumber of Shares or Shares of a specified value. Any requests for a switch that are received by the <strong>Global</strong> Distributor, UK Distributoror the Transfer Agent before 5.00pm Luxembourg time on a Dealing Day will be redeemed at the Share Price for the relevant Fundcalculated on the next following Dealing Day, subject to any applicable charges (and subject to those shares being available to switchas is explained below). Any requests for a switch received after 5.00pm Luxembourg time will be treated as having been received on thenext following Dealing Day.Subject to the qualifications for investment being met, Class A and Class D shareholders may switch between those Classes in thesame Fund or another Fund. Class A and Class D shareholders may only switch into Class C, Class I Shares, Class J Shares, Class KShares or Class Z Shares of the same Fund or another Fund with the prior consent of the <strong>Global</strong> Distributor and provided they qualifyas Institutional Investors and they comply with the minimum investment requirements. Class C, Class I, Class J, Class K and Class Zshareholders may switch into Class A or D Shares.Subject to the qualifications for investment being met and the relevant agreement having been entered into, Class C, Class I, Class J,Class K and Class Z shareholders may switch between those Classes in the same Fund or another Fund.174 <strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong>


If a request to switch Shares would result in a shareholder owning less than the minimum holding in any one Fund or Class, <strong>Aberdeen</strong><strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong> reserves the right to switch the full shareholding in that Fund (or Class).A charge payable to the <strong>Global</strong> Distributor of up to 1% of the Net Asset Value of the shares being switched may be made.3.6 Dilution levyFrequent subscriptions and redemptions can potentially have a dilutive effect on the Funds NAV per share and be detrimental tothe long term investors as a result of the transaction costs that are incurred by the Fund in relation to the trades undertaken by theinvestment manager.As detailed in the prospectus the Board of Directors current policy through delegation to the Investment Managers Investor ProtectionCommittee (IPC) is normally to impose a dilution adjustment to the NAV of each Class of Shares, as follows: a dilution rate is appliedwhenever net subscriptions or redemptions exceed 5% of the total net asset value on a dealing day, or any other threshold determinedby the Board of Directors (having considered prevailing market conditions)The dilution adjustment will be paid into the relevant Fund and becomes part of the relevant Funds NAV.The dilution adjustment is calculated by adjusting the NAV per share on a Dealing Day by a factor determined on the basis of estimatesof any dealing charges (including commission and/or other costs) and/or any bid/offer spread that the Board of Directors believes areappropriate to take into account in respect of that Class, divided by the number of Shares of that Class then in issue or deemed to be inissue.

In light of this uncertainty and in line with current market practice, the Board intends to provide a 10% contingencyon both realised and unrealised gains if any from disposing or holding such securities. Any unclaimed provisions or over provision madeon realised or unrealised gains may later be released to form part of the relevant <strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong> funds. Any changes to the marketpractice or interpretation or clarification of PRC tax rules may impact this provision and may result in this provision being higher orlower than required, or deemed not to be required. The Board of Directors therefore reserves the right to amend its practice in thisregard and/or this policy without prior notice at any time. No such provision was required at the year end.<strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>II</strong> 187
