Baltimore, MD - January 12, 2021 - The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) is pleased to announce that four more publishers have recently started supplying metadata that conforms to the NISO recommended practice, KBART: Knowledge Bases And Related Tools (NISO RP-9-2014).

By adopting the universally-accepted KBART metadata structure, publishers ensure a timely exchange of standardized information and updated product availability details across the whole supply
Legal Entity Identifier: 5493006R74BNJSJKCB17 The Directors of JPMorgan Asia Growth & Income plc announce the Company s results for the year ended 30th September 2020. chairman s statement Performance and the Company s Improved Rating In the year to 30th September 2020 the Company s return to shareholders was +22.3% compared with a return of +12.3% in sterling terms for the Company s benchmark index, the MSCI All Countries Asia ex Japan Index.

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
Since my statement with the last annual report, published in July, we have seen some progress in the battle against the coronavirus with the end of the first lockdown but then a setback with the second wave and, more recently, positive news in respect of vaccines which now suggests there is some light at the end of the tunnel. The pandemic has been disruptive for all businesses, but I believe the Company’s portfolio has generally weathered the storm well and many businesses have been able to adapt to the new conditions.
Unsurprisingly new investment activity fell to a reduced level in the early stages of the pandemic however, this has now recovered, and the Manager made good progress in continuing to deploy the Company’s funds later in the period.
