No, the Funds are not specifically managed for tax efficiency. The Funds are designed for investors with long-term horizons, and seek to invest in companies that will benefit from the long-term evolution of Asia.

The objective of the Matthews Asian Growth and Income Fund is to provide long-term capital appreciation. The Fund also seeks to provide some current income. It is designed to permit investors to participate in Asia's long-term growth with some mitigation of volatility. The Fund's portfolio typically includes a variety of fixed-income securities such as convertible bonds, corporate bonds, and high-yielding equities.

In contrast, the Matthews Asia Dividend Fund is a total return fund with an emphasis on providing current income. It seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in income-paying common stocks and other equity-related instruments.

The Matthews China Dividend Fund focuses on higher-yielding equities with more conservative business models. Compared to the Matthews China Fund and other China-specific offerings, we expect the Matthews China Dividend Fund to offer a unique risk/return profile that may be well suited for those seeking an income-focused strategy from China's deepening equity markets.
