Press Release Summary: Martin Asset Management is offering via Separate Managed
accounts a new, more liquid way to achieve absolute returns

Press Release Body: Through its ETF strategies, Martin Asset Management is able to
replicate hedge-fund-like returns and risk factors without the heavy fees, lockups
and non-transparent holdings. \"Our approach allows investors to obtain the very same
benefits as they would with a hedge fund without the limitations usually associated
with hedge funds\", says Francisco Martin, Senior Managing Director and Founder of
Martin Asset Management.

We use a similar investment philosophy as you would with \"Global Tactical Asset
Allocation\". It is an investment strategy that attempts to exploit short-term market
inefficiencies by taking positions in various markets with a view to profiting from
relative movements across those markets. The approach focuses on general movements
in the markets rather than on performance of individual securities within them
Positions are generally taken with a relatively short-term time horizon (3 - 6
months) - hence the term Tactical Asset Allocation - and in markets across the globe
- hence the term Global.

\"Our philosophy is simple; we don't charge any management fees but participate with
a 10% performance fee and a High Water Mark. The transparency of a separate managed
account and the elimination of all hedge fund imposed barriers make our approach
much more attractive to the investor,\" says Martin.

MAM is expected to launch its new product by August of 2008.
