                *Credit impulse measures the year-over-year change of credit flow (net aggregate social financing) as a percentage of nominal GDP. Rolling 12-month nominal GDP
                and credit stock are used in the calculation. **In August 2019, the PBoC started to release 1-year and 5-year loan prime rates (LPR) on a monthly basis, which are
                based on quotes from 18 large banks. LPR has become the benchmark for commercial loans and floating rate loan contracts.

                 Core CPI is defined as CPI excluding food and energy prices. The Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) deflator employs an evolving chain-weighted basket of
                 consumer expenditures instead of the fixed-weight basket used in CPI calculations.

           Returns are total returns based on MSCI indices, except the U.S., which is the S&P 500, and China A, which is the CSI 300 index in U.S. dollar terms. China return is
           based on the MSCI China index. 10-yr total (gross) return data is used to calculate annualized returns (Ann. Ret.) and annualized volatility (Ann. Vol.) and reflect the
           period 30/09/10 – 30/09/20. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current and future results.

           Earnings per share (EPS) used is next 12 months’ aggregate estimate. *Universe of stocks within the MSCI AC Asia Pacific ex-Japan index are split into three buckets
           depending on their revenue exposure to their domestic market. Over the time period examined (01/01/09 – 30/09/20), monthly adjustments are made to the buckets to
           reflect changes in a company's operations over time. Subsequently, earnings-per-share (EPS) for each bucket is calculated by summing the market-value weighted
           EPS for each company on a monthly basis over the examined period. Each EPS series is then indexed to 100 on 01/01/09. **EM Asia ex-China includes Hong Kong,
           Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. Overall exports aggregate is gross domestic product (GDP)-weighted. Past performance is not a reliable
           indicator of current and future results. For illustrative purposes only.
