Lloyd Fonds Aktiengesellschaft / Forecast/Miscellaneous 15.07.2008 Release of a Adhoc News, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amid a generally weak market overall, Lloyd Fonds AG has lowered its forecast for equity placements and anticipated net income for fiscal 2008. The company now assumes that the placement volume will amount to roughly 390 million euros, with net profit for the year reaching 12 million euros. The reasons for this revised forecast are the weak trends prevailing in the overall market for financial investments, which are impacting on closed-end funds as well, and the probable earnings for the first half of 2008. Customers investment behavior is being affected a great deal more sharply by the global financial crisis and weakening economic activity than had been assumed at the beginning of the year. The Management Board has announced that it will follow the course of sales reinforcement already embarked on and will simultaneously implement savings measures within the organization. In addition, the company consistently continues to work on high-quality, innovative funds. The companys investor-friendly dividend policy is to remain in place in 2009. For the year 2009, Lloyd Funds expects a stabilization for the market as a whole as well as substantially better results for the company.
