The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Significant events

• “The first full six months since the transformational combination of Invesco Asia Trust with Asia Dragon Trust show strong absolute and relative performance.”
• “Over the six months to 31 October 2025 NAV total return of +34.1% and share price total return of +37.2% were both significantly ahead our benchmark (MSCI AC Asia ex Japan Index) total return of +31.4%.”
• “For the six months to 31 October 2025, a total of 1,235,000 shares were bought back into Treasury at a total cost of £4,301,000, representing 0.6% of the starting number of shares in issue (excluding treasury shares). This has been accretive to NAV by 0.06%.”
• “The new three-yearly unconditional tender through which shareholders can redeem as many of their shares as they wish at a 4% discount to NAV every three years, the first opportunity being in 2028.”
• “The enhanced dividend policy, paying out approximately 1% of the Company's unaudited year-end NAV quarterly over the subsequent four quarters.”
• “Helped by being one of the largest investment trusts at £955 million of net assets, a blended management fee of 0.57% based on 31 October 2025 net asset value and a projected annual ongoing charges level of 0.72% (once the Invesco fee waiver that was part of the merger process has expired in November 2025), makes us one of the lowest cost ways of investing in Asia.”
