    Further to the Company's announcement on 2 July 2008, FRM Credit Alpha Limited has today published a prospectus in respect of the
admission of the Company's Shares to the Official List and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange together with a
Placing and Offer for Subscription of C Shares to be issued at �1 per C Sterling Share, EUR1 per C Euro Share and $1 per C Dollar Share.  

    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 and 25 specialist credit hedge funds, which utilise fundamental research, asset
allocation, security selection and activism to invest in credit securities, as opposed to investing primarily according to macro views on
interest rate movements or spreads.  Since inception on 1 April 2007, the Company has produced net returns of 17.8% (GBP) through 31 July
2008. The Company currently has a total Net Asset Value of approximately �96 million.

Paul Dunning, CEO of Financial Risk Management Limited, says: *Specialist credit hedge funds have produced positive returns through very
turbulent markets, and we*re pleased to offer investors additional capacity. Also, this new offering and the migration of the shares to a
London Stock Exchange listing should further increase liquidity for investors. The portfolio will continue to focus on credit managers who
use fundamental research skills and activism. We believe these managers are in the best position to navigate the current credit markets and
capitalise on the distressed and other significant investment opportunities arising from the credit crunch.*

    The minimum subscription amount under the placing is �50,000.  The minimum subscription amount under the offer for subscription is
�2,000.

    The expected timetable is as follows:

                                                                          2008
