The Matthews China Dividend and Asia Small Companies Fund will not be rated by Morningstar until they have three-year track records.
For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.)
* To better reflect its investment strategy, the Fund’s name changed from Matthews Asia Pacific Equity Income Fund to Matthews Asia Dividend Fund on November 30, 2009.
