All performance is in US$ with gross dividends reinvested.
Assumes reinvestment of all dividends and/or distributions before taxes. All performance quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Unusually high returns may not be sustainable.

Current performance may be lower or higher than the return figures quoted. Returns would have been lower if certain of the Funds’ fees and expenses had not been waived.

The Matthews India Fund and Matthews Asia Pacific Equity Income 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.)
Lipper Rankings as of March 31, 2008
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. rankings and fund performance do not reflect sales charges and are based on total return, including reinvestment of dividends and capital gains for the stated periods.
