NESTOR Investment S.A.:

Star manager Anna Ho signs exclusive deal with NESTOR

Anna Ho is continuing to manage the NESTOR Fernost fund. However, this will
in future be the only portfolio that the multi-award winning fund manager
manages for investors in Germany, Austria and Luxembourg.

Munich, 19th of August 2010 - Anna Ho will continue to manage the
successful NESTOR Fernost fund (LU0054738967). However, the multi-award
winning fund manager is to leave the DnB-NOR Group, the parent company of
Carlson Fund Management Company S.A., where she has to date managed the
Carlson Fund - Asian Small Cap. Ho plans to join a highly respected
investment house with its registered office in Hong Kong.

NESTOR Fernost will in future be the only Asian fund that the successful
manager runs in German-speaking countries. Dr Tobias Spies, member of the
Board of Directors at NESTOR Investment S.A., said: 'We want to continue
our successful cooperation with renowned fund manager Anna Ho. Continuity
is a key concern for us, particularly with a successful product like the
NESTOR Fernost fund.'

Ho has managed the NESTOR Fernost fund, launched in 1994, since 2001 and
has been awarded two gold medals by Sauren Research. The portfolio was
ranked first in its peer group in 2003, 2006 and 2009. At the end of the
first half of 2010 the fund was placed tenth out of 325 portfolios in terms
of performance, scoring around 98% on a five-year comparison. The
redemption price is still almost 20% below its record high, however.

'Based on market trends I am confident that the NESTOR Fernost fund will
reach 2007 levels before the end of this year,' says Ho. Things went
downhill very quickly following the outbreak of the financial crisis, but
Ho has already clawed back a considerable portion of the losses.
 

The manager plans to continue her successful investment strategy in future,
She focuses above all on second-line stocks and specifically targets
securities from China and India. Around 85% of the fund's assets are
currently invested in China, with the other 15% in India.

Company profile

Founded in 1993, NESTOR INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT S. A. is based in Luxembourg
with its own distributor in Munich. The company manages investment funds
open to investors in Germany, Luxembourg and Austria. Its product range is
suitable for private and institutional investors.

NESTOR Investment S. A.'s funds mainly focus on high-growth market
segments. Its managers do not track indexes, focusing instead on achieving
above-average returns through good stock-picking. NESTOR funds target
exciting regions, such as Africa, Australia, Eastern Europe and the Far
East, but all NESTOR fund managers are also on the lookout to buy equities
of companies with low market capitalisation. These securities are of lesser
interest to analysts, even in established market segments such as gold
mines or French shares, and offer active fund managers considerably more
upside than traditional blue chips.

NESTOR funds are advised by reputable, external financial experts with many
years' expertise in their field and usually their own local network to
hand. The managers of the following funds have been the recipients of many
awards in the past: NESTOR Fernost, NESTOR Gold, NESTOR Australien, NESTOR
France and NESTOR Osteuropa. These funds are often ranked at the top of
their particular category.
