Note: Selection of disclosed investments is primarily based on valuation, and secondarily on capital invested.

1 Valuation of the Ecommerce portfolio (excluding Tencent) is based on a combination of (i) prevailing share prices for listed assets as at 21 June 2024; (ii) consensus sell-side analysts' estimates for unlisted assets; (iii) most recent post-money transactions valuation where analyst consensus is unavailable; and (iv) internal valuation for any remaining assets. The IRR is calculated including exited assets.

2

Swiggy's IRR not disclosed due to the ongoing IPO process.

3

Tencent includes JD.com proceeds and the value of Meituan on the day of distribution, which is then assumed as the investment cost for Meituan's IRR calculation.
