Pacific Horizon Investment Trust Plc: Results for the Six Months to 31 January 2006 PR Newswire LONDON, August 9, 2012 LONDON, August 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- - In the six months to 31 January 2006, Pacific Horizon's net asset value per share rose by 11.1%. The MSCI All Country Far East ex Japan Index rose 13.5% in sterling terms for the same period. Short term gearing was introduced in November, and performance improved towards the end of the period. Earnings per share for the six months were 0.56p compared to 0.54p in the first half of the previous year. As in previous years, no interim dividend will be paid. - Global growth remains high by the standards of the last thirty years and is showing signs of being more broadly based than in the recent past. The Board believe that the immediate outlook for markets in the Asia-Pacific region is favourable. - Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. The value of an investment and any income from it is not guaranteed and may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount invested. This is because the share price is determined by the changing conditions in the relevant stockmarkets in which the Company invests and by the supply and demand for the Company's shares.
