Perhaps Mark Kucera, Chase Global Funds Services Company, 617-557-8844 could supply that info. Recent releases indicate a fair value approach to pricing underlying shares..the SWAG method.

Peter: Till Sept 1, EWM was exactly the KLSE value divided by the exchange rate: an open-ended fund. In my opinion: The exchange rate being announced by WEBS is unethical because it is fictitious; they do not know the correct rate; they may be trying to scare investors. My discussion with WEBS suggests that they want to keep the fund trading as a closed-end fund, but maintain the technical status of an open-end fund, under SEC rules, so that they do not have to make SEC filings required of closed-end funds. The premium of MF is based on NAV at the official rate of 3.8 ringgit per US$. You can call them. Please post any new information you may obtain. Rational
