Dear Shareholders:
The management of the Thai Capital Fund, Inc. (the "Fund")
would like to take this opportunity
to inform its shareholders about the Thai economy, the
activities of the Stock Exchange of Thailand
("SET") and the Fund's performance for the six months ended
June 30, 2005.
Thai Economic Review and Outlook
The Thai economy in the first half of 2005 has remained weak
in spite of momentum of 6.1%
Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") growth from last year.  Export
growth has been decelerating.
Declining oil prices could be a short term positive factor,
although expectations for oil consumption still
remains high, especially in China.  Thus, an uptrend in the
long term price of oil may still fit the general
economists' model.  High capacity utilization suggests that
investment will pick up, but the private sector
may be cautious about over-expansion in view of high oil
prices, higher inflation, rising interest rates and
the weakening of consumer confidence.  Our views are lowering
GDP growth from 5.0% to 4.4% for
2005 and 4.85% for 2006, while the Bank of Thailand ("BoT")
just revised the GDP range downward for
2005 from between 4.5% to 5.5% to between 3.5% to 4.5%.  In
the first quarter of 2005, GDP growth of
3.3% was lower than the market expectation range of 3.5% to
3.8%.  Mainly, the negative impact was due
to the high price of oil, increasing from $40 per barrel in
November to $50 in March.  As a result of the
higher import value of oil the trade gap is narrower.
Moreover, the impact of the tsunami on the tourist
industry caused income from the service segment to decrease
dramatically.  The drought that occurred in
early of January caused agricultural production to slightly
decrease while commodity prices increased
significantly due to excess demand.
The Thai economy should remain sluggish in the second half of
2005, due to continued concerns
about rising domestic fuel prices and trade deficits.  The El
Nino-led drought is now taking a toll on the
Thai petrochemical sector, in terms of potential water
shortage at the two reservoirs supplying water to
the petrochemical complex in the Rayong province.  We believe
that weakening demand under a cost-
push inflation scenario will eat into corporate margins in
the second half of 2005.
Second quarter 2005 GDP growth of 4.2% to 4.5% year-on-year
("YoY") is expected.  Adjusted
seasonally, GDP growth is expected to show a 1.0% to 1.4%
rise quarter-on-quarter ("QoQ") in the
second quarter of 2005.  Data for April and May indicates
that the industrial sector is supporting GDP
growth with services adding to growth slightly.  However, the
agricultural sector is pulling growth down.
Our conclusions are drawn from three indicators:  the major
crop index, the Manufacturing Production
Index ("MPI") and tourist arrivals.  The major crop index was
down 5.6% YoY, but the MPI rose 7%
YoY and tourist numbers rose 0.6% YoY.  In view of the fact
that the industrial sector contributes 39% of
GDP and the agricultural sector only 9%, we believe that the
7% rise in the MPI YoY is a strong indicator
that in the second quarter of 2005 GDP will come out stronger
than the first quarter of 2005's 3.3% YoY,
particularly in view of the strong correlation (91%) of the
MPI to GDP growth.
The stronger MPI in April and May was not followed by
stronger demand-side indicators.  The
Private Consumption Index was up only 0.2% YoY and export
volume ticked up only 0.7% YoY.  We
therefore believe that the industrial sector is piling up
inventories.  Lacking an inventory index from the
BoT, we scrutinized inventory index data compiled by the
Ministry of Industry and found that the
inventory index went up 22% YoY in April and May.  In the
first quarter of 2005, the National Economic
and Social Development Board ("NESDB") data showed that
inventory accounted for 5.9% of GDP,
much higher than the 2.1% average rate seen in each of the
first two quarters in 1998 through 2004.  The
higher inventories in April and May could slow production
figures in the second half of 2005, as
producers may prefer running down inventories to producing
more goods if demand slows.
We see a greater chance of an interest rate increase on July
20.  In the presence of higher inflation
expected in coming months (June CPI = 3.8%; first half of
2005 = 3.2%), the strong MPI figures in the
presence of a high current account deficit will have a
negative implication on the 14-day repo rate at the
Monetary Policy Committee's ("MPC") meeting on July 20, as it
will provide reason for the MPC to raise
the repo rate, by an expected 0.25% to 2.75%.  This is
following the 0.25% increase in the U.S. Fed
Funds rate to 3.25% at the end of June.
Mega projects may be delayed.  The Ministry of Commerce
expects a trade deficit of
US$8.2 billion for 2005 (five month 2005 deficit = US$6.3
billion), indicating the Ministry is expecting a
deficit of US$280 million per month on average during July
through December.  It expects a US$6 billion
surplus in the net services account (five month 2005 estimate
= +US$2.2 billion), giving a current account
deficit of US$2 billion for 2005 (five month 2005 estimate =
- -US$4.4 billion).  Meanwhile, the BoT
expects a deficit in the current account after taking into
consideration the government's mega projects of
US$3.1 billion or 1.8% of GDP in 2005, which will then rise
to US$6.7 billion or 3% of GDP on average
during 2006-2009.  This suggests that the BoT will decrease
its GDP forecast for 2005 to 3.5% to 4.5%,
and we also feel that in the end the government will have to
put off at least some of the mega projects, as
going ahead with them would put the current account deficit
beyond the government's self-imposed 2%
ceiling.

Thai Stock Market Overview & Outlook
In the first quarter of 2005, the SET Index generally
continued with its upward momentum from
the last two months of 2004, fed by investor optimism about
the national election results in early February
2005.  The positive momentum was further supported by an
influx of foreign funds.  The Index started at
668.10 and peaked on February 28, 2005 during intra-day
trading, and reached the peak at 746.10 or
about 10.76% before giving up its gains to fall below the
700-point psychological support level in mid-
March due to profit-taking.  The Index declined to end the
first quarter at 680.30 points or an increase of
2.0%.  In the second quarter of 2005, the SET Index moved
sideways in the 660 to 690 range with
moderate trading volume at Baht 19,000 million per day,
compare to Baht 16,000 million per day in the
previous quarter.  At the end of the quarter, the SET Index
ended at 675.50, down 4.8 points or 0.70%.
Mainly, the market was stagnant because of the increasing oil
prices.  Thus, investors appeared to be
waiting for the oil price impact to listed companys' bottom
lines.  However, since the Thai stock market is
dominated by the energy sector, which counts for 27% of
market capital weighting, the impact from high
oil prices could transfer to positive earnings in energy-
related stocks.  In summary, in the first half of
2005, the SET Index moved from 668.10 to 675.50 or an 1.1%
increase.
We continue to take an overall bearish view on the Thai stock
market in the near term due to a
number of negative factors, including continuing high oil
prices, rising interest rates, Thailand's
worsening trade position, weaker economic growth projections
and expectations of a continuing
slowdown in corporate earnings growth.  We believe that the
SET Index will continue to trade in range
from 640 to 750 over the next two quarters with reduced
trading volume.  Stock markets, whether in
Thailand or elsewhere, are driven by corporate earnings,
short-term earnings and long-term earnings
prospects.  Short-term earnings probably will not be either
positive or negative.  Listed companies will
have to release their second quarter results by around August
15.  We believe that, on average, most
companies' results will still show earnings growth from the
previous year, but an earnings decline from
the previous quarter.  The fact that costs are increasing
faster than selling prices as higher fuel prices are
gradually factored into the pricing chain means that there
will likely be more full-year earnings down-
grades on lower margins than earnings upgrades.  In fact,
second half corporate earnings prospects do not
look very positive, at the moment.  Longer-term earnings
prospects, at this point, are not clear.  Expansion
projects initiated over the last couple of years are going
through as planned and beginning to contribute to
sales growth, but margins and return on investment are
falling.  We are forecasting average earnings per
share ("EPS") growth this year of only 6.3%, down from 74.5%
in 2003 and 34.1% in 2004.  Due to
conservative assumptions for 2006, we are forecasting average
EPS growth next year of only 1.6%.
One of the positives that we keep reiterating is that the
Thai stock market is cheap at the current
SET Index level of 659.64, with stocks trading on an average
of 9.0 times earnings for 2005 and 8.9 times
earnings for 2006, as well as dividend yields of 4.25% and
4.43% for this year and next, respectively.
Normally, we are confident in maintaining the level of equity
of less than 10 times earnings, or the overall
market on an average of under 10 times earnings.  The
dividend yield argument is still prevalent and
should be a supporting factor for the market.  However,
dividends are paid out of earnings and if earnings
are not growing, the dividend payout will not either.  At the
same time, rising deposit interest rates make
holding stocks for the dividend yield relatively less
attractive.  Over the last month, seven banks
announced interest rate increases and we believe that
additional rate hikes of about 50 basis points within
the next six months are likely.
On another positive note, foreigners have returned to the
Thai stock market, with net purchases of
Bt16.7 billion in June and Bt6.4 billion in July (as of July
27).  This brings total net purchases for 2005
year-to-date to Bt82.3 billion.  We believe that this is due
to net buying within the Southeast Asia region.
As of July 27, South Korea's stock market was the best
performer in the region, up 22% year-to-date,
followed by Jakarta (+17.8%) and Singapore (+13%).  By
contrast, the Thai market was the worst
regional performer, down 0.4%.
Performance Evaluation
As of June 30, 2005, the Fund had net assets of US$26.5
million, representing a net asset value per
share of US$8.43.  Of this amount, Thai equity securities
accounted for 92.92%; the remainder was in
cash, bank deposits and promissory notes.
For the first half of 2005, portfolio performance was 1.11%
compared to the SET Index's 1.10%, or
in line with the market.  Generally, the portfolio structure
has a beta of around 1.0x compared to the
benchmark and the cash position ranges around 5-9% of assets.
Since our market view for the second
half of the year is sideways in a range of 640-750, our
strategy is to hold the current position and reduce
equity around the upper band of the range and switch to low
beta stocks.  The energy sector is still the
favorite among the domestic sectors.  Also, we will avoid
cyclical stocks such as the petrochemical and
commodity sectors in order to reduce portfolio volatility.
Portfolio Management
Effective January 1, 2005, Mr. Thanakorn Phanphruk replaced
Mr. Cholathee Pornrojnangkool as
the Fund's portfolio manager.  SCB Asset Management Co., Ltd.
has employed Mr. Phanphruk as an
equity fund manager since 1995.  Previously, Mr. Phanphruk
was an assistant fund manager for The
Mutual Fund Public Company Limited and an investment analyst
at Siam Commercial Bank Public
Company Limited.  He has fourteen years of investment
experience.
Finally, the Fund's management would like to express its
sincere thanks to all shareholders for
their continued support and participation.
Sincerely,
IKUO MORI
Chairman of the Board

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Thai Capital Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") was incorporated in
Maryland on March 14, 1990 and
commenced operations on May 30, 1990.  It is registered with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission as a non-diversified, closed-end management
investment company.
The Fund makes its investments in Thailand through a wholly-
owned Investment Plan pursuant to
a contract with SCB Asset Management Co., Ltd. (the
"Manager").  The accompanying financial
statements are prepared on a consolidated basis and present
the financial position and results of operations
of the Investment Plan and the Fund.
The following significant accounting policies are in
conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America for
investment companies.  Such policies are
consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its
financial statements.  The preparation of its
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements.  Actual reported results could
differ from those estimates.
Valuation of Investments-Securities listed on the Securities
Exchange of Thailand for which
market quotations are readily available are valued at the
last sales price prior to the time of determination,
or, if there were no sales on such date, at the mean between
the last current bid and ask prices.  Securities
that are traded over-the-counter, if bid and asked quotations
are available, are valued at the mean between
the current bid and asked prices.  In instances where
quotations are not readily available or where the
price determined is deemed not to represent fair market
value, fair value is determined in good faith in
such manner as the Board of Directors (the "Board") may
prescribe.  Short-term investments having a
maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost,
which approximates market value.
Tax Status-It is the Fund's intention to continue to qualify
as a regulated investment company
and distribute substantially all of its taxable income.
Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income
or excise taxes is required in the financial statements.
Remittances from the Investment Plan to the Fund are subject
to a Thai withholding tax of 10%
and such remittances are required by Thai law to be derived
only from the Investment Plan's net income
and net realized gains on the sale of securities.  The Fund
records a provision for such taxes based upon
the Investment Plan's overall net increase in net assets
resulting from operations determined by reference
to the Baht, except that there is currently no provision
required for the component of the net increase in
net assets relating to capital gains, if any, because the
Fund intends to utilize its U.S. tax loss carryforward
available to offset any such gains.  Remittances for the
payment of expenses are not subject to a Thai
withholding tax.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders-The Fund records
dividends and distributions
payable to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date.  The
amount of dividends and distributions from net
investment income and net realized capital gains are
determined in accordance with federal income tax
regulations, which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles.  These "book/tax"
differences are either considered temporary or permanent in
nature.  To the extent these differences are
permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the
capital accounts based on their federal tax-
basis treatment; temporary differences do not require
reclassification.  Dividends and distributions which
exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains
for tax purposes are reported as distributions
of paid-in-capital.
Foreign Currency Translation-The books and records of the
Fund are maintained in U.S.
dollars as follows:  (1) the foreign currency market value of
investment securities and other assets and
liabilities stated in foreign currency are translated at the
exchange rate prevailing at the end of the period;
and (2) purchases, sales, income and expenses are translated
at the rate of exchange prevailing on the
respective dates of such transactions.  The resulting
exchange gains and losses are included in the
Statement of Operations.  The Fund does not isolate the
effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates
from the effect of fluctuations in the market price of
securities.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income-Securities
transactions are recorded on the
trade date (the date upon which the order to buy or sell is
executed).  Realized and unrealized gains and
losses from security and foreign currency transactions are
calculated on the identified cost basis.
Dividend income and corporate actions are recorded on the ex-
date, except for certain dividends and
corporate actions involving foreign securities which may be
recorded after the ex-date, as soon as the
Fund acquires information regarding such dividends or
corporate actions.  Interest income is recorded on
an accrual basis.
Investment Manager and Investment Adviser
The Manager acts as the investment manager of the Investment
Plan pursuant to the Investment
Contract.  The Manager makes the investment management
decisions relating to the Fund's assets held
through the Investment Plan.  For its management services,
the Manager receives a fee, which accrues
weekly and is payable monthly in Baht, at an annual rate of
0.60% of the Investment Plan's average net
assets.  At June 30, 2005, the Fund owed the Manager $14,850.
In addition, as permitted by the
Investment Contract, the Fund reimburses the Manager for its
out-of-pocket expenses related to the Fund.
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, no such expenses
were paid to the Manager.
Under the International Investment Advisory Agreement, Daiwa
SB Investments (H.K.) Ltd.
("the Adviser") provides general and specific investment
advice to the Manager with respect to the
Fund's assets held through the Investment Plan, but the
Manager makes the ultimate decisions regarding
investments.  In addition, the Adviser manages the Fund's
assets held outside the Investment Plan.  The
Fund pays to the Adviser a fee, which accrues weekly and is
payable monthly in U.S. Dollars, at an
annual rate equal to 0.60% of the Fund's average net assets.
In addition, as permitted by the Advisory
Agreement, the Fund reimburses the Adviser for its out-of-
pocket expenses related to the Fund.  During
the six months ended June 30, 2005, no such expenses were
paid to the Adviser.  The Adviser has
voluntarily decreased its fee to 0.20% of the Fund's average
net assets for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2005.  At June 30, 2005, the Fund owed the
Adviser $4,421, net of waivers.
Administrator and Custodian and Other Related Parties
Daiwa Securities Trust Company ("DSTC"), an affiliate of the
Adviser, provides certain
administrative services to the Fund.  For such services, the
Fund pays DSTC a monthly fee at an annual
rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average weekly net assets, with a
minimum annual fee of $150,000.  DSTC
has voluntarily decreased its minimum annual administration
fee to $100,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2005.  In addition, as permitted by the
Administration Agreement, the Fund reimburses
DSTC for its out-of-pocket expenses related to the Fund.
During the six months ended June 30, 2005,
expenses of $1,838 were paid to the Administrator,
representing reimbursement to the Administrator of
costs relating to the attendance by its employees at meetings
of the Fund's Board.
DSTC also acts as custodian for the Fund's U.S. assets.  As
compensation for its services as
custodian, DSTC receives a monthly fee and reimbursement of
out-of-pocket expenses.  During the six
months ended June 30, 2005, DSTC earned $2,859, as
compensation for its custodial services to the Fund.
At June 30, 2005, the Fund owed $8,333, $1,167 and $441 to
DSTC for administration,
compliance and custodian fees, respectively.
The Fund paid or accrued $47,902 for the six months ended
June 30, 2005 for legal services in
conjunction with the Fund's ongoing operations provided by
the Fund's law firm, Clifford Chance US
LLP, of which the Fund's Assistant Secretary is a partner.
Investments in Securities and Federal Income Tax Matters
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Fund made
purchases of $9,896,330 and sales of
$10,026,463 of investment securities, excluding short-term
investments.  The aggregate cost of
investments at June 30, 2005 for federal income tax purposes
was substantially the same as the cost of
securities for financial statement purposes.  At June 30,
2005, net unrealized appreciation, excluding
short-term securities aggregated $8,576,981 of which
$10,074,561 related to appreciated securities and
$1,497,580 related to depreciated securities.
At December 31, 2004, the Fund had a remaining capital loss
carryover of $46,611,127, of which
$7,116,392 expires in the year 2005, $24,330,001 expires in
the year 2006, $6,364,433 expires in the year
2007, $5,797,861 expires in the year 2008, $2,320,539 expires
in the year 2009 and $681,901 expires in
the year 2010 available to offset future net capital gains.
Concentration of Risk
The Fund's investments in Thailand involve certain
considerations and risks not typically
associated with domestic investments as a result of, among
others, the possibility of future economic and
political developments and the level of government
supervision and regulation of securities markets.
The currency transactions of the Fund and the Investment Plan
are subject to Thai foreign
exchange control regulations.  Remittances from the Plan
require the approval of the Exchange Control
Officer of the Bank of Thailand.  There can be no assurance
that approval of remittances from the Plan
will be granted in a timely fashion or at all.
The economic difficulties experienced in Thailand have had an
impact on the banking industry.
All of the Fund's investments are held in Thailand through a
subcustodial arrangement with Bangkok
Bank Public Company Limited (the "subcustodian") and the
Fund's securities in turn are being held by
the Thailand Securities Depository Company in book-entry
form.  In the event of failure of the
subcustodian, legal counsel has informed the Fund that the
Fund would be able to recover all of its
securities held by the subcustodian.  The Fund's ability to
enter into investment transactions pertaining to
such securities may be effectively restricted for the period
of time required to resolve the Fund's claim to
recover such securities.
Capital Stock
There are 100,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common stock
authorized.  During the six
months ended June 30, 2005, 72 shares were issued as a result
of the reinvestment of dividends paid to
those shareholders electing to reinvest dividends.  Of the
3,139,500 shares outstanding at June 30, 2005,
Daiwa Securities America Inc., a lead underwriter of the Fund
and an affiliate of both the Adviser and
DSTC, owns 8,763 shares.

BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
At a Meeting of the Board of Directors of The Thai Capital
Fund, Inc. held on June 2, 2005, the
Board reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the
investment advisory services provided by
Daiwa SB Investments (HK) Ltd. (the "Investment Adviser")
under the Advisory Agreement and SCB
Asset Management Co., Ltd. (the "Investment Manager" and,
together with the Investment Adviser, the
"Advisers") under the Investment Management Agreement.  The
Board reviewed and considered the
qualifications of the portfolio manager, the senior
administrative managers and other key personnel of the
Investment Manager who provide the investment advisory
services to the Fund.  The Board determined
that the portfolio manager and key personnel of the
Investment Manager are qualified by education and/or
training and experience to perform the services in an
efficient and professional manner.  The Board also
reviewed the services provided to the Fund by the Investment
Adviser and the personnel of the
Investment Adviser who provide those services.  The Board
concluded that the nature and extent of the
advisory services provided were necessary and appropriate for
the conduct of the business and investment
activities of the Fund.  The Board also concluded that the
overall quality of the advisory services was
satisfactory.
Performance Relative to the Fund's Benchmark
The Board reviewed the Fund's performance for the last one-,
three- and five-year periods, as
well as for the last 20 quarters, as provided in the
materials distributed to the Board prior to the Meeting,
compared to the Fund's benchmark, the Stock Exchange of
Thailand Index.  The Board noted that the
Fund's performance for the last one- and three-year periods
was higher than the Fund's benchmark, and
was only slightly lower for the five-year period.  The Board
further noted that, for the last 20 quarters, the
Fund's performance varied as compared to the benchmark,
however, the Fund generally performed in line
with the benchmark.  The Board concluded that the Fund's
overall performance was competitive with that
of its benchmark.
Fees Relative to Other Funds Advised by the Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory fee paid by the Fund under
the Advisory Agreement and the
Investment Management Agreement (together, the "advisory
fee").  The Board also reviewed information
showing the advisory fees paid by other funds managed by each
of the Advisers as compared to the
advisory fee paid by the Fund.  The Board noted that while
the Investment Manager does not manage any
other U.S. registered funds, it does advise approximately 18
other closed- and open-end funds with
advisory fees with only one fund with an advisory fee lower
than the Fund.  The Board further noted that
the Investment Adviser does not advise any other closed-end
funds that would provide an appropriate
comparison to the Fund's advisory fee.  The Board concluded
that the advisory fee paid by the Fund was
appropriate as compared to other funds advised by the
Advisers.
Fees and Expenses Relative to Comparable Funds Managed by
Other Advisers
The Board considered the advisory fees paid by the other
funds in the Fund Complex, The Japan
Equity Fund, Inc. and The Singapore Fund, Inc., as compared
to the advisory fee paid to the Fund's
Advisers.  While The Japan Equity Fund, Inc. has a lower fee
rate and The Singapore Fund, Inc. has a
slightly higher fee rate than the Fund, the assets in each
fund are more than triple that of the Fund, and
thus the actual fee paid to the advisers of those funds is
significantly higher.  In addition, the Board
reviewed the fee paid to the only other U.S. registered
closed-end fund investing in Thailand, The Thai
Fund.  The Board noted that not only was the advisory fee
rate for The Thai Fund significantly higher
than for the Fund, but the assets of The Thai Fund were
approximately four times that of the Fund
resulting in an even higher fee.  In addition, the Board
examined the advisory fees paid to other closed-
end funds investing in a single country.  While the fees vary
widely, the majority of these fees paid in
connection with these country funds were in the 1.00% and
higher range, especially for those funds that
invested in countries in Asia.  The Board concluded that the
Fund's advisory fee was competitive with
these other country funds.  The Board did, however, note that
the total expense ratio of the Fund was
higher than that of the other funds in the Fund Complex, The
Thai Fund and many other country funds.
The Board attributed this higher total expense ratio to the
lower net assets of the Fund.
Breakpoints and Economies of Scale
The Board reviewed the structure of the Fund's management fee
schedule under the Advisory
Agreement and Investment Management Agreement and noted that
it does not include any breakpoints.
The Board considered that the Fund is closed-end and that the
Fund's assets are not likely to grow with
new sales.  The Board concluded that economies of scale for
this Fund were not a factor that needed to be
considered at the current asset levels.
Profitability of the Advisers
The Board considered and reviewed a profitability report for
each of the Advisers for the last year
included in the materials previously provided to the Board.
Based on their review of the information they
received, the Board concluded that the profits earned by each
Adviser were not excessive in light of the
advisory services provided to the Fund.
Advisers Financially Sound and Financially Capable of Meeting
the Fund's Needs
The Board considered whether each of the Advisers is
financially sound and has the resources
necessary to perform its obligations under the Advisory
Agreement and Investment Management
Agreement, to which it is a party.  The Board noted that each
Adviser's operations remain profitable.  The
Board concluded that each of the Advisers has the financial
resources necessary to fulfill its obligations
under the Advisory Agreement and Investment Management
Agreement, to which it is a party.
Historical Relationship Between the Fund and the Advisers
The Board also reviewed and considered the historical
relationship between the Fund and the
Advisers, including the organizational structure of each of
the Advisers, the policies and procedures
formulated and adopted by each of the Advisers for managing
the Fund's assets and the Board's
confidence in the competence and integrity of the senior
managers and key personnel of each of the
