Press Release Summary: Brentwood Group – Financial system narrowly avoids complete
meltdown.

Press Release Body: Brentwood Group is reportedly convinced that the Federal
Reserve’s bailout of US insurance giant AIG has saved the global financial system
from certain meltdown.

Sources close to Brentwood Group said the Asian-based wealth management group
believes that although the turbulence in markets is likely to subside in the coming
days, it is still urging investors to exercise caution.

The Fed has agreed to lend AIG $85 billion over 24 months in return for 80% of the
company. The unnamed Brentwood Group source said that the US banking system has cost
the US taxpayer $400 billion in the last 10 days if the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae
bailouts are included.

Brentwood Group, who advocate value-based, long-term investing, are according to
reports, acquiring distressed stocks that have been sold by institutional investors
to meet obligations in other markets.
