underlying performances across channels and segments. TLG is thinly traded and has fallen by 11% year-to-date,but we are hopeful that the arrival earlier in the year of an American strategic investor (Nasdaq listed Newell Brands, a $7 billion company with brands such as Parker, Sharpie and Paper Mate) will help introduce new products and markets. TLG has provided compound returns of approximately 53% per annum over the last 7 years to the Fund. We own 3.9% of the stock and are in regular contact with the management of the company. Urbanizaon is another key theme and our exposure to real estate developers is approximately 18% of NAV across four porolio companies. During the month we subscribed to the rights issue in Dat Xanh Real Estate (DXG, 4.8% NAV) and trimmed our posion in Van Phu Investments (VPI, 3.3% NAV.) Within the theme of Industrializaon we are building posions in the industrial goods and services sector (the linkages in a growing domesc and export economy) to complement Saigon Cargo Services (7.9% NAV) and ABA Cooltrans (4.1% NAV), which we disclosed last month.

The Government Stascs Office announced a surprising re-calculaon of Vietnam's GDP, an increase on average of 25% from 2011 to 2017. This implies GDP is actually around USD 300 bn, and USD 3,000 per capita. Trade surplus surged in August on growing exports of mobile phones reaching USD 1.7 bn. The balance of payments remains healthy and despite the Yuan devaluaon, the Vietnam Dong has remained stable.
