NEW YORK -- The Credit Suisse/Tremont Hedge Fund Index was down 2.11% in March, according to Oliver Schupp, President of Credit Suisse Index Co., Inc.

"Global market indices continued to fall in March, during what proved to be one of the most volatile months in recent history. The U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates twice in just over one week in an effort to revitalize the weakening economy. The March 18th move lowered interest rates 75 basis points to 2.25 percent, resulting in the lowest U.S. rate since December of 2004. Although inflation concerns continue to rise with the possibility of further rate cuts, the U.S. Federal Reserve stated, 'the Committee expects inflation to moderate in coming quarters, reflecting a projected leveling-out of energy and other commodity prices and an easing of pressures on resource utilization.' Investors continue to watch how tightening credit conditions and continued downturns in the housing market will affect growth over the next few months. As these trends continue into the second quarter, we estimate that eight out of ten hedge fund sectors will end March on a negative note," said Mr. Schupp.

Performance for the Credit Suisse/Tremont Hedge Fund Index and its ten sub-strategies is calculated monthly. March, February and 2008 year-to-date returns for all categories are listed below and are available at www.hedgeindex.com.

* Total Return Indices

The Credit Suisse/Tremont Hedge Fund Index value is 425.10 returning 325.10% for the 171-month period since inception (January 1, 1994 through March 31, 2008).

The Credit Suisse/Tremont Hedge Fund Index is comprised of 482 funds as of March 31, 2008. The following funds are no longer reporting to the Credit Suisse/Tremont Hedge Fund Index: Balboa Fund, NewSmith UK Hedge Master Fund Ltd, AXA Futures, Thales Holdings, Ltd, and Fursa Master Global Event Driven Fund LP.

The Index is constructed using the Credit Suisse/Tremont database of more than 5,000 hedge funds. It includes both open and closed funds located in the U.S. and offshore, but does not include fund of funds. In order to qualify for inclusion in the index selection universe, a fund must have a minimum of US 50 million under management, a 12-month track record, and audited financial statements. Index funds are selected using a formula based on assets under management. That ensures the Index represents at least 85% of total assets in each of ten strategy-based sectors in the selection universe. In order to minimize survivorship bias funds are not excluded until they liquidate or fail to meet the reporting requirements. The Index is calculated as a total return index on a monthly basis, adjusted for asset in- and outflow, including a reselection according to the procedure outlined above on a quarterly basis.

1. The Hedge Fund Index (the "Broad Index"), an asset-weighted benchmark that measures hedge fund performance;

2. The AllHedge Index ("SECTAH"), an investable index comprised of all 10 Credit Suisse/Tremont Sector Invest indices weighted according to the sector weights of the Broad Index; and

3. The Blue Chip Index ("INVX"), an investable index comprised of the 60 largest funds across the ten style-based sectors in the broad index.

4. The Specialty Indices, the first of which is the LEA Index, an asset-weighted, composite index which provides insight in to three specific regions of the emerging markets hedge fund universe (Latin America, EEMEA (Emerging Europe, Middle East and Africa) and Asia).
