Inv Obj & Perf Update

Accelerated Return Fund Limited

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

11 January 2008

The Accelerated Return Fund Limited (the "Company")

The Company's investment objective is to provide investors with six times the
growth of the FTSE 100 Index, up to a maximum capital repayment of 166 pence,
over the five-and-a-half year period to 7 October 2008, combined with a high
level of capital security, subject to any unforeseen circumstances.

The Shares will offer full capital protection unless the FTSE 100 Index has
closed down more than 50 per cent from its starting value (ie below 1,967.9)
during the term AND fails to recover to its starting value. In this case, the
return on the Shares will be the same as the return on the Index. If the Index
subsequently recovers and rises above its starting value, the Shares will still
offer six times the growth of the FTSE 100 Index, again up to a maximum capital
repayment of 166 pence.

The official closing level of the FTSE 100 Index as at 31 December 2007 was
6,456.90. If the Index closed at this level on 7 October 2008, the redemption
price (ending share price) would be 166 pence.

Services Authority (FSA). Investors should refer to the FSA factsheet, which is
available at www.fsa.gov.uk/consumer/pdfs/capital_risk.pdf.

should seek professional advice. Investors may only achieve the rate of return
advertised over a set period and the return may depend on specific conditions
being met.
