FRM Credit Alpha Limited (the 'Company')


Proposed fund raising and full listing in London


The Board of the Company announces that it is considering a move to a full
listing on the Official List of the London Stock Exchange under Chapter 15 of
the Listing Rules.


The Directors believe that a full listing on the Official List will enhance the
profile of the Company and provide further liquidity and visibility in the
trading of the Company's shares.


Furthermore, the Board intend to use this opportunity to proceed with an issue
of new shares. Details on the timing of the change of listing venue and issue of
shares will be disclosed in due course.


The Company seeks to generate significant returns over cash with low volatility
and beta to global credit markets when measured over a market cycle.  The
Company's portfolio comprises between 12 to 25 'specialist credit' hedge funds,
which utilise fundamental research, asset allocation, security selection and
activism to invest in credit securities, as opposed to investing according to
macro views on interest rate movements or spreads.  The Company has returned
13.08% from its launch on 1 April 2007 through to 31 January 2008, compared to a
decrease of 0.75% for the ML US High Yield Master II Index (GBP) for the same
period.


The investment portfolio and general deployment of assets of the Company are
managed by FRM Investment Management Limited.  Investment advice is provided by
Financial Risk Management Limited.  Both FRM Investment Management Limited and
Financial Risk Management Limited are part of the FRM Group which was founded in
1991 and has over US $14 billion in funds of hedge funds assets under management
and over 200 employees in offices in London, New York, Tokyo, Sydney and
Guernsey.
