FUND, INC.

ANNUAL REPORT
DECEMBER 31, 2009

IF-AR-1209



LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED)

Dear Shareholder,

We present this Annual Report which covers the activities of The Indonesia Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Fund's primary objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing in Indonesian companies, with current income as a secondary objective of the Fund.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the total return to shareholders of the Fund based on the net asset value (NAV) of the Fund was 99.8% versus a 127.63% in the Fund's benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Indonesia Index. Based on market price, the Fund's shares gained 107.8% during the year, assuming reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

Share Price Performance

The Fund's share price increased 86.3% over the twelve months, from $5.10 on December 31, 2008 to $9.50 on December 31, 2009. The Fund's share price on December 31, 2009 represented a discount of 6.6% to the NAV per share of $10.17 on that date, compared with a discount of 10.2% to the NAV per share of $5.68 on December 31, 2008. As of February 17, 2010, the share price was $9.65, representing a discount of 7.5% to the NAV per share of $10.43.

Change in Legal Entity Name

Since Aberdeen Asset Management Asia Limited ("Aberdeen") now serves as investment manager of the Fund, the Board believes it is appropriate to add "Aberdeen" to the fund's name in order to identify the Fund's manager more clearly and to differentiate the funds in a competitive market with many known brands. Aberdeen is an independent global asset manager, a market leader in global emerging markets, managing approximately US$29.4 billion of assets in emerging market equities and bonds. It should be noted that the Fund's ticker, IF, will remain the same.

Market Review

Indonesian equities rose in December, outperforming the broader regional market as economic data continued to improve across most of Asia. The best-performing sectors included materials and consumer discretionary, while financials and industrials lagged.

Indonesian equities rose in the fourth quarter, closing the year on a high note, as economic data continued to improve across the region. However, confidence in emerging markets was tempered by concerns over the early withdrawal of stimulus measures and the surprising news that state-owned Dubai World would delay bond repayments for the property unit.

For the year, Indonesian stocks reversed the bulk of 2008's losses, leading the region higher as domestically driven markets were perceived to be more resilient than their export driven peers.

Following the transition of investment adviser from Credit Suisse Asset Management in May 2009, Aberdeen completed several transactions to align the Fund with Aberdeen's investment process. This included initiating a position in hardware retailer Ace Hardware Indonesia Tbk and London-exchange-listed Indonesian palm oil plantations company MP Evans Group PLC, along with additions to our position in nickel exploration and mining company International Nickel Indonesia Tbk on relative price weakness. Later in the year, we liquidated the holding in PT Bumi Resources Tbk, a coal mining and oil exploration company.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

Outlook

Looking ahead, the new government's strong mandate and the Country's upbeat growth outlook appear to suggest that Indonesia may be entering a phase of stronger and more sustainable growth. Sound fiscal policy, positive balance of payments, declining public and foreign debt ratios, should encourage investment. While inflation may edge higher, it should stay below the long-term level. As such, we expect the easy credit environment to sustain consumption which in turn should continue the economy's expansion, as well as corporate earnings. However, the political backdrop remains complicated with allegations of irregularities in the Bank Century bail-out threatening the position of well respected Finance Minister Sri Mulyani.

Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan

We invite you to participate in the Fund's Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (the "Plan"), which allows you to automatically reinvest your distributions in shares of the Fund's common stock at favorable commission rates. Distributions made under the Plan are taxable to the same extent as are cash distributions. The Plan also enables you to make additional cash investments in shares of at least $100 per transaction. To request a brochure containing more information on the Plan, together with an enrollment form, please contact the Plan Agent toll free at 1-800-647-0584 (international 1-781-575-3100).

Investor Relations Information

Aberdeen Asset Management Asia Limited may waive fees and/or reimburse expenses, but has made no determination to do so. Without such waivers and/or reimbursed expenses, performance would be lower. Waivers and/or reimbursements are subject to change and may be discontinued at any time. Returns represent past performance. Total investment return at net asset value is based on changes in the net asset value of fund shares and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions, if any. Total investment return at market value is based on changes in the market price at which the fund's shares traded on the stock exchange during the period and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions, if any, at actual prices pursuant to the fund's dividend reinvestment program. Because the fund's shares trade in the stock market based on investor demand, the fund may trade at a price higher or lower than its NAV. Therefore, returns are calculated based on share price and NAV. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the figures shown. The fund's yield, return and market price and NAV will fluctuate. Performance information current to the most recent month-end is available by calling 866-839-5205.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios are 1.57%.

THE INDONESIA FUND, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009

NOTE A. ORGANIZATION

The Indonesia Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") was incorporated in Maryland on January 8, 1990 and commenced investment operations on March 9, 1990. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company.

NOTE B. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation: The net asset value of the Fund is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. Equity investments are valued at market value, which is generally determined using the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation (the "Valuation Time"). Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading of the "Exchange" (usually 4:00 pm Eastern Time). If no sales are reported, equity investments are generally valued at the most recent bid quotation as of the Valuation Time or at the lowest ask quotation in the case of a short sale of securities. Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the price supplied by a pricing service, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless it is determined that using this method would not represent fair value. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund's closing net asset value per share on the day of valuation.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the Fund's Valuation Time, but after the close of the securities' primary market, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Directors under procedures established by the Board of Directors. The Fund may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board of Directors to fair value certain securities. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. The Fund's estimate of fair value assumes a willing buyer and a willing seller neither acting under the compulsion to buy or sell. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized on such sales could differ from the prices originally paid by the Fund or the current carrying values, and the difference could be material.

In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value


11



THE INDONESIA FUND, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2009

including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity.

Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.

•  Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

•  Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

•  Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments, information provided by the General Partner or investee companies such as publicly traded prices, financial statements, capital statements, recent transactions, and general market conditions.)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund's investments carried at value:

Short-Term Investment: The Fund sweeps available cash into a short-term time deposit available through Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., the Fund's custodian. The short-term time deposit is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and U.S. income tax purposes. Interest income is accrued as earned; dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Taxes: No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Fund's intention to continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.

Income received by the Fund from sources within Indonesia and other foreign countries may be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by such countries.

The Fund is subject to the provisions of ASC 740 Income Taxes ("ASC 740"). The Fund has reviewed its current tax positions and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior four fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Services.

Foreign Currency Translations: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

  (I)  market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the valuation date rate of exchange; and

  (II)  purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Fund does not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments in equity securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. Accordingly, realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses with respect to such securities are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investment transactions balances.


13



THE INDONESIA FUND, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2009

The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions and foreign taxes withheld on security transactions as components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such foreign currency related transactions are treated as ordinary income for U.S. income tax purposes.

Net unrealized currency gains or losses from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities at period end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation/depreciation in value of investments, and translation of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses represent foreign exchange gains and losses from transactions in foreign currencies and forward foreign currency contracts, exchange gains or losses realized between the trade date and settlement date on security transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received.

Distributions of Income and Gains: The Fund distributes at least annually to shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and net realized short-term capital gains, if any. The Fund determines annually whether to distribute any net realized long-term capital gains in excess of net realized short-term capital losses, including capital loss carryovers, if any. An additional distribution may be made to the extent necessary to avoid the payment of a 4% U.S. federal excise tax. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date.

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for U.S. income tax purposes due to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles/tax differences in the character of income and expense recognition.

Other: The Fund may invest in securities of foreign countries and governments which involve certain risks in addition to those inherent in domestic investments. Such risks generally include, among others, currency risks (fluctuations in currency exchange rates), information risk (key information may be inaccurate or unavailable) and political risk (expropriation, nationalization or the imposition of capital or currency controls or punitive taxes). Other risks of investing in foreign securities include liquidity and valuation risks.

Securities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are subject to changes in value due to fluctuations in exchange rates.

Investment in Indonesian and other foreign securities requires consideration of certain factors that are not normally involved in investments in U.S. securities. The Indonesian securities market is an emerging market characterized by a small number of company listings, high price volatility and a relatively illiquid secondary trading environment. These factors, coupled with restrictions on investment by foreigners and other factors, limit the supply of securities available for investment by the Fund. This will affect the rate at which the Fund is able to invest in Indonesian and other foreign securities, the purchase and sale prices for such securities and the timing of purchases and sales.

The limited liquidity of the Indonesian and other foreign securities markets may also affect the Fund's ability to acquire or dispose of securities at a price and time that it wishes to do so. Accordingly, in periods of rising market prices, the Fund may be unable to participate in such price increases fully to the extent that it is unable to acquire desired portfolio positions quickly; conversely the Fund's inability to dispose fully

and promptly of positions in declining markets will cause its net asset value to decline as the value of unsold positions is marked to lower prices.

NOTE D. CAPITAL STOCK

NOTE E. INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES

For the year ended December 31, 2009, purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term investments, were $59,812,368 and $57,091,421, respectively.

NOTE F. CREDIT FACILITY

Prior to May 1, 2009, the Fund, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse (collectively, the "Participating Funds"), participated in a $50 million committed, unsecured, line of credit facility ("Credit Facility") with State Street Bank and Trust Company for temporary or emergency purposes. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Participating Funds paid an aggregate commitment fee on the average unused amount of the Credit Facility, which was allocated among the Participating Funds in such manner as was determined by the governing Boards of the Participating Funds. In addition, the Participating Funds paid interest on borrowings at either the Overnight Federal Funds rate or the Overnight LIBOR rate plus a spread. This arrangement for this Fund ceased effective July 1, 2009.


15



THE INDONESIA FUND, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2009

On November 13, 2009, the Fund entered into a credit facility along with other Funds advised by Aberdeen (The Chile Fund, The Emerging Markets Telecommunications Fund, The First Israel Fund, and The Latin America Equity Fund, collectively, the "Funds"). The Funds agreed to a $10 million committed revolving credit facility with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. for temporary or emergency purposes. Under the terms of the credit facility, the Funds will pay an aggregate commitment fee on the average unused amount of the credit facility. In addition, the Funds will pay interest on borrowings at the Overnight LIBOR rate plus a spread. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund had no borrowings under the Credit Facility.

NOTE G. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

For the year ended December 31, 2009 the Fund paid $240,713 in distributions, classified as ordinary income and $9,673,186 in distributions, classified as long-term capital gains. For the year ended December 31, 2008 the Fund paid $587,006 in distributions, classified as ordinary income.

The tax basis of components of distributable earnings differ from the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by temporary book/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to losses deferred on wash sales. At December 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis, for the Fund were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income   $ 485,157    
Undistributed long-term capital gains     131,160    
Unrealized appreciation     35,293,613    
Total distributable earnings   $ 35,909,930    

 

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund utilized capital loss carry forwards of $1,323,579.

At December 31, 2009, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, as well as the gross unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost, gross unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value and the net unrealized appreciation from investments were $58,185,888, $36,382,369, $(1,092,256) and $35,290,113, respectively.

At December 31, 2009, the Fund reclassified $54,469 from undistributed net investment income to accumulated net realized gain on investments and foreign currency related transactions. These permanent differences are due to differing book/tax treatments of foreign currency transactions. Net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

NOTE H. SELF-TENDER POLICY

Self-Tender Policy: In April 2009, the Board authorized a tender offer to purchase 10% of the Fund's outstanding common shares at a price of 98% of the Fund's net asset value on the date the tender offer expires, provided the common shares of the Fund have traded at a volume weighted average discount to net asset value of greater than 10% during a 90-day measurement period. The measurement period was commenced in August 2009 through October 31, 2009. As of October 31, 2009 the volume weighted average discount to net asset value was under 10%, and therefore a tender offer was not initiated.

NOTE I. CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Fund may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against

the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

NOTE J. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Codification 105-10, "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162" ("ASC 105-10, formerly "SFAS 168"). ASC 105-10 replaces SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" and establishes the "FASB Accounting Standards Codification" ("Codification") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. On the effective date of ASC 105-10, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. ASC 105-10 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Management has evaluated this new statement and the financial statements and notes to financial statements have been updated to reflect how the Funds' reference GAAP.

NOTE K. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In accordance with the provisions set forth in ASC 855 "Subsequent Events", management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events existing in the Fund's financial statements through March 1, 2010.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND CASH PURCHASE PLAN (UNAUDITED)

The Fund offers a Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (the "Plan") to its common stockholders. The Plan offers common stockholders a prompt and simple way to reinvest net investment income dividends and capital gains and other periodic distributions in shares of the Fund's common stock. Computershare Trust Company, N.A. ("Computershare") acts as Plan Agent for stockholders in administering the Plan.

Participation in the Plan is voluntary. In order to participate in the Plan, you must be a registered holder of at least one share of stock of the Fund. If you are a beneficial owner of the Fund having your shares registered in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee, you must first make arrangements with the organization in whose name your shares are registered to have the shares transferred into your own name. Registered shareholders can join the Plan via the Internet by going to www.computershare.com, authenticating your online account, agreeing to the Terms and Conditions of online "Account Access" and completing an online Plan Enrollment Form. Alternatively, you can complete the Plan Enrollment Form and return it to Computershare at the address below.

By participating in the Plan, your dividends and distributions will be promptly paid to you in additional shares of common stock of the Fund. The number of shares to be issued to you will be determined by dividing the total amount of the distribution payable to you by the greater of (i) the net asset value per share ("NAV") of the Fund's common stock on the payment date, or (ii) 95% of the market price per share of the Fund's common stock on the payment date. If the NAV of the Fund's common stock is greater than the market price (plus estimated brokerage

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND CASH PURCHASE PLAN (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

commissions) on the payment date, then Computershare (or a broker-dealer selected by Computershare) shall endeavor to apply the amount of such distribution on your shares to purchase shares of Fund common stock in the open market.

You should be aware that all net investment income dividends and capital gain distributions are taxable to you as ordinary income and capital gain, respectively, whether received in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the Fund's common stock.

The Plan also permits participants to purchase shares of the Fund through Computershare. You may invest $100 or more monthly, with a maximum of $120,000 in any annual period. Computershare will purchase shares for you on the open market on the 25th of each month or the next trading day if the 25th is not a trading day.

There is no service fee payable by Plan participants for dividend reinvestment. For voluntary cash payments, Plan participants must pay a service fee of $5.00 per transaction. Plan participants will also be charged a pro rata share of the brokerage commissions for all open market purchases ($0.03 per share as of October 2006). Participants will also be charged a service fee of $5.00 (subject to change) for each sale and brokerage commissions of $0.03 per share.

You may terminate your participation in the Plan at any time by requesting a certificate or a sale of your shares held in the Plan. Your withdrawal will be effective immediately if your notice is received by Computershare prior to any dividend or distribution record date; otherwise, such termination will be effective only with respect to any subsequent dividend or distribution. Your dividend participation option will remain the same unless you withdraw all of your whole and fractional Plan shares, in which case your participation in the Plan will be terminated and you will receive subsequent dividends and capital gains distributions in cash instead of shares.

The Registrant’s Audit and Valuation Committee of the Board of Directors has considered whether the provision of nonaudit services that were rendered to the Registrant’s investment adviser (not including any subadviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence and has concluded that it is.

It is possible that conflicts of interest may arise in connection with the portfolio managers� management of the Registrant’s investments on the one hand and the investments of other accounts on the other. For example, the portfolio managers may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time, resources and investment opportunities among the Registrant and other accounts they advise. In addition, due to differences in the investment strategies or restrictions between the Registrant and the other accounts, the portfolio managers may take action with respect to another account that differs from the action taken with respect to the Registrant. AAMAL has adopted policies and procedures that are designed to minimize the effects of these conflicts. Additionally, portfolio managers’ personal trading is monitored to avoid further potential conflicts.

A potential conflict of interest also may arise as a result of another account managed by the same portfolio manager being compensated by Aberdeen based on the performance of the portfolio held by that account. The existence of such a performance-based fee may create additional conflicts of interest for the portfolio manager in the allocation of management time, resources and investment opportunities. There are 11 accounts (all other accounts) (with assets under management totaling approximately $3.1 million) with respect to which part of the advisory fee is based on the performance of the account. However, the investment strategies of these accounts are significantly different from those of the Registrant, so the performance fee should not create any conflict between that of the portfolio manager (and consequently, the Investment Adviser) and the interest of the Registrant.

(3)  The following is a description of the compensation structure for portfolio managers employed by Aberdeen Asset Management PLC and its subsidiaries, including the Registrant’s Investment Manager and its Investment Adviser (the “Aberdeen Group”) as of December 31, 2009.

 
 

 


The Aberdeen Group recognizes the importance of compensation in attracting and retaining talent and has structured remuneration to include an attractive base salary, a discretionary bonus that is directly linked to one’s contribution to the overall success of the Aberdeen Group and a long term incentive plan for key staff members comprised of a mixture of cash, options, and shares.  Overall compensation packages are designed to be competitive relative to investment management industry standards.

The compensation policy has been designed to deliver additional rewards through appropriate incentive schemes, both annual and long term.  These are directly linked to performance at both a corporate and an individual level.   The policy seeks to reward performance in a manner which aligns the interests of clients, shareholders and executives.

Each Aberdeen Group member recognizes that any remuneration policy must be sufficiently flexible to take into account any changes in the business environment.  In accordance with this need for flexibility, the Aberdeen Group takes into account the overall competitiveness of the total remuneration package of all senior executives including some portfolio managers.  When justified by performance, the ‘at risk’ performance elements will form the most significant element of total remuneration for executive officers and senior employees.

Base Salary.   The base salary is determined by prevailing market conditions and the compensation for similar positions across the industry.  The Aberdeen Group uses industry compensation surveys as a tool in determining each portfolio manager’s base salary.
 
Annual Bonus.    The Aberdeen Group ’s policy is to recognize corporate and individual achievements each year through an appropriate bonus scheme.  The aggregate incentive compensation pool each year is determined by the Board of the parent company, Aberdeen PLC, and is dependent on each member of the Aberdeen Group ’s overall performance and profitability. The pool is comprised of a base level plus an agreed proportion of each member of the Aberdeen Group ’s profitability.

Staff performance is reviewed formally once a year, with mid-term reviews. The review process looks at all of the ways in which an individual has contributed to the Aberdeen Group, and specifically, in the case of portfolio managers, to the relevant investment team. Discretionary bonuses are based on a combination of both the team and the individual’s performance. Overall participation in team meetings, generation of original research ideas and contribution to presenting the team externally are also evaluated. Discretionary bonuses are not formally laid down and generally range from 10% to 50% of annual salary for portfolio managers.

In the calculation of a portfolio manager’s bonus, the Aberdeen Group takes into consideration investment matters (which include the performance of funds, adherence to the company investment process, and quality of company meetings) as well as more subjective issues such as team participation and effectiveness at client presentations.  The split between the two will vary but generally around 80% of bonus will be determined by investment related matters, the remaining 20% will be more subjective in nature.  Each Fund’s performance is judged against the benchmark (for the Registrant – Morgan Stanley Capital International Indonesia Index) as established in the relevant Fund’s most recent shareholder report.   Portfolio manager performance on investment matters is judged over all of the accounts the portfolio manager contributes to and is documented in the appraisal process.  A combination of the team’s and individual’s performance is considered.

Although performance is not a substantial portion of a portfolio manager’s compensation, the Aberdeen Group also recognizes that fund performance can often be driven by factors outside one’s control, such as (irrational) markets, and as such pays attention to the effort by portfolio managers to ensure integrity of our core process by sticking to disciplines and processes set, regardless of momentum and ‘hot’ themes.  Short-term trad ing is thus discouraged and trading-oriented managers will thus find it difficult to thrive in the Aberdeen Group ’s environment.  Additionally, if any of the aforementioned undue risks were to be taken by a portfolio manager, not only would the portfolio manager be in breach of the Aberdeen Group Code of Ethics, but any such trend would be identified via Aberdeen’s dynamic compliance monitoring system.

 
 

 


Long Term Incentives. As part of an effective remuneration package, a long term incentive plan is used to structure the package so as to retain, motivate, and reward key staff members with a view to improving performance and thereby increasing the value of the Aberdeen Group for the benefit of shareholders. Long-term incentive plans can be either cash or share based and typically vest over a three year period.

The Aberdeen Group offers a meritocracy and a very flat management structure.  The culture of the company is entrepreneurial, and enthusiastic, hard-working and talented employees are given plenty of opportunity to prove themselves and obtain a high level of job satisfaction.
 
The Aberdeen Group does not “tie in” portfolio managers with long-term and restrictive contractual obligations, however.  The Aberdeen Group aims to retain key individuals primarily through the provision of competitive compensation and other benefits.  It is the policy of the Aberdeen Group to mitigate the effects of any individual leaving the company by ensuring that portfolios are managed on a team basis.
