Re: Results of Issue



THIS COMMUNICATION IS NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN OR INTO

THIS COMMUNICATION IS AN ADVERTISEMENT AND NOT A PROSPECTUS AND IS NOT AN OFFER

The Board of FRM Credit Alpha Limited (the 'Company'), a newly formed
closed-ended investment company listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and admitted
to trading on the International Bulletin Board of the London Stock Exchange, is
pleased to announce that subscriptions have been received pursuant to the
Placing with an aggregate value of #46 million comprising 46 million Sterling
Shares issued at #1 per Share.



The Company will seek to deliver better risk adjusted returns than those
achieved by making passive investments in corporate debt securities, when
measured over a complete market cycle.  The Company will seek to achieve its
objective by investing in a portfolio of hedge funds pursuing a variety of
different credit and credit related investment strategies.  By investing in a
combination of investee funds managed by managers who adopt research-based value
/ event-driven or long-short approaches, the Company believes that volatility
and peak-to-trough drawdowns will be lower than those typically delivered by
long-only approaches.



The investment portfolio and general deployment of assets of the Company will be
managed by FRM Investment Management Limited.  Investment advice will be
provided by Financial Risk Management Limited, which has been allocating to
Credit Strategies since 1998 and currently advises on credit strategy
allocations valued at around US $1.5 billion.  Both FRM Investment Management
Limited and Financial Risk Management Limited are part of the FRM Group which
was founded in 1991, and as at December 31, 2006 had around US $12 billion in
funds of hedge funds assets under management.  FRM has over 200 employees in
offices in London, New York, Tokyo, Sydney and Guernsey.



Paul Dunning, CEO of Financial Risk Management Limited, says: "Credit hedge
funds with a research-driven approach can offer investors diversification from
traditional investments in equities and bonds.  Credit is a growing asset class,
and there are a number of hedge funds which use sophisticated instruments,
extensive research and activism to generate attractive returns in this market.
Investing in these funds through FRM Credit Alpha brings investors the benefits
of FRM's proven track record in credit and our rigorous research and portfolio
construction capabilities."



The Company's Sterling Shares of no par value have today been admitted to
listing on the Irish Stock Exchange and to trading on the International Bulletin
Board of the London Stock Exchange with an ISIN code of GB00 B1QH6J27 and a TIDM
of FCAP.

The defined terms used in this announcement have the meanings set out in the
