FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
5 November 2009
Japanese Accelerated Performance Fund Limited (the "Company")
The Company's investment objective is to provide investors with five times the
growth of the Nikkei 225 Index (the "Index"), up to a maximum capital repayment
of 200 pence, over the six year period to 17 December 2009, combined with a high
level of capital security, subject to any unforeseen circumstances.
The Shares will offer full capital protection unless the Index has closed down
more than 50 per cent from its starting value (ie below 5,046.32) during the
term AND fails to recover to its starting value of 10,092.64. 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 five times the growth of the Index, again up to a maximum capital
repayment of 200 pence. There are 30,000,000 Shares in issue.
The official closing level of the Index as at 30 October 2009 was 10,034.74+. If
the Index closed at this level on 17 December 2009, the redemption price (ending
share price) would be 100.00 + pence.

The Company has also sold a Put option with a notional amount of GBP30,000,000.
The performance of the Put option is linked to the performance of the Index. At
an Index value of 10,092.64 or above at the close of business on 17 December
2009, or if the Index has never closed below 5,046.32 during the calculation
period from 17 December 2003 to 17 December 2009 (the "Calculation Period"), the
Put option will be worth GBPNil at maturity. If the Index has closed below
10,092.64 over the Calculation Period and the Index is still below 10,092.64 at
17 December 2009, the Put option will be worth at maturity a percentage of the
notional value, being GBP30,000,000, equivalent to the percentage fall in the
level of the Index over the Calculation Period. As at the date of this
announcement the Index has not closed below 5,046.32 during the Calculation
Period.
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

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.
