FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
6 September 2012
Close Assets Funds Limited (the "Company")
Close UK Index Growth Fund 2012 (the "Fund")
The Fund's investment objective is to provide investors with
four times the growth of the FTSE 100 Index (the "Index"), up to a
maximum capital repayment of 164 per cent of the Issue Price, over
the six year period to 22 November 2012, combined with a high level
of capital security, subject to any unforeseen circumstances.
The Zero Dividend Shares will offer full capital protection
unless the Index has closed down more than 50 per cent from its
starting value (i.e. below 3080.15) during the term AND fails to
recover to its starting value of 6,160.30. In this case, the return
on the Zero Dividend Shares will be the same as the return on the
Index. If the Index subsequently recovers and rises above its
starting value, the Zero Dividend Shares will still offer four
times the growth of the Index, again up to a maximum capital
repayment of 164 per cent of the Issue Price. The Issue Price was
148.64p per Zero Dividend Share and there are 35,625,000 Zero
Dividend Shares in issue.
The official closing level of the Index as at 31 August 2012 was
5,711.48 . If the Index closed at this level on 22 November 2012
and the Index had not closed down more than 50 per cent from its
starting value during the term (i.e. below 3080.15), the redemption
price (ending share price) would be 148.64 pence .

The Company has also sold for the account of the Fund a Put
option with a notional amount of GBP52,953,000. The performance of
the Put option is linked to the performance of the Index. At an
Index value of 6,160.30 or above at the close of business on 22
November 2012, or if the Index has never closed below 3,080.15
during the calculation period from 22 November 2006 to 22 November
2012 (the "Calculation Period"), the Put option will be worth
GBPNil at maturity. If the Index has closed below 3,080.15 over the
Calculation Period and the Index is still below 6,160.30 at 22
November 2012, the Put option will be worth at maturity a
percentage of the notional value, being GBP52,953,000, 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 3,080.15 during the Calculation Period.
Capital at Risk Products ("CARPs")
The Company has been advised that the 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_products.html
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 Zero Dividend 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.
