FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

12 March 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 29 February 2008 was
5,884.30. If the Index closed at this level on 7 October 2008, the redemption
price (ending share price) would be 166 pence.

Structured Capital at Risk Products (SCARPs)

The Company has been advised that Company is a SCARP as defined by the Financial
Services Authority (FSA). Investors should refer to the FSA factsheet, which is
available at www.fsa.gov.uk/consumer/pdfs/capital_risk.pdf.

The return of capital invested at the end of the investment period is not
guaranteed and therefore the investor may get back less than was originally
invested. Investors should not enter into the transaction unless they are
prepared to lose some or all of the money they have invested.

They should satisfy themselves that the Shares are suitable for them in the
light of their circumstances and financial position, and if in any doubt they
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.

The monthly factsheet is available on the website www.closeinvestments.co.uk
