LONDON, March 10, 2010 - MSS Fund Management, the London based alternative asset
manager, and Oxigen, the UK's leading authority on sustainable forestry
investments, announce today the launch of three Sustainable Forestry Funds
that invest in tropical rain forests and plantations in Brazil, Malaysia,
Costa Rica, and other carefully selected regions of the world.

The Sustainable Forestry Funds ("the Funds") are designed to
allow investors direct access to the returns generated by commercially
managed tropical plantations, as well as the opportunity to invest in a
sustainability focused strategy. The three underlying funds are targeted at
the Wealth Management and HNW sector, with one fund designed for
Institutional Investors seeking long-term exposure to the asset class.

The Guernsey-based regulated closed-ended funds will invest in
plantations that generate returns from commercially managed mahogany,
agarwood (aquilaria), and teak, as well as agroforestry returns from maize,
sugar cane and lemon grass.

The objectives of the Funds are to provide investors with
excellent risk-adjusted returns from sustainable forestry. The Funds will
help manage and protect the world's declining tropical forests from
de-forestation as well as working with the local communities and governments
in establishing community projects, schools, and medical centres.

Simon Hookway, CEO of MSS Fund Management, said, "I am
delighted to be launching funds that combine attractive risk/return profiles
together with low correlation to other asset classes and with strong
sustainability characteristics."

Guy Conroy, CEO of Oxigen Investments, said, "Following the
high demand from high-net-worth individuals for our products, we are
delighted to partner with MSS and allow access to sustainable forests through
an authorised and regulated fund structure."
