FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

12 March 2008

Close Enhanced Commodities Fund Limited (the "Company")

The investment objective of the Company is to provide to shareholders, on the
Redemption Date in February 2010, a capital amount of 100 pence per Share and a
growth amount equal to two times any percentage increase in the End Value* of
the Commodity Portfolio relative to its Start Value.

The Commodity Portfolio is a notional portfolio of commodities comprising by
value on the Start Date, being 22 February 2005, one-third crude oil, one-third
gold and one-third industrial metals (equally weighted between aluminium, copper
and zinc).

Based on the values of the commodities as at 29 February 2008, and assuming
these values were to remain unchanged through to the end of the life of the
Company, the final capital entitlement per Share on the Redemption Date would be
317 pence. This is not a forecast nor is it a reflection of the net asset value
per Share and takes no account of any unforeseen circumstances and is provided
for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon for investment
decisions.
