    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    13 August 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 July 2008 was 5,411.90. If the Index closed at this level on 7 October 2008,
the redemption price (ending share price) would be 166 pence.

    The table below illustrates how the redemption value of the Shares might vary for different ending levels of the FTSE 100 Index.

       Capital at Risk Products (CARPs)

    The Company has been advised that Company is a CARP as defined by the Financial Services Authority (FSA). Investors should refer to the
FSA factsheet, which is available at www.moneymadeclear.fsa.gov.uk/products/investments/types/pooled/structured_produ cts.html

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.
