San Diego's LM Capital Group Receives Additional Investment from Coca-Cola Enterprises.

SAN DIEGO -- LM Capital Group, LLC, a leading San Diego-based fixed income investment manager for institutional clients, announced today that it has received an additional $11 million from Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. This latest investment increases the total assets LM Capital Group manages for Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. to approximately $105 million and raises the firm's total assets under management to over $2 billion.

"This marks the fifth institutional investment by Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. with LM Capital Group since its initial investment of $15 million in May 2002," said John Chalker, managing director of LM Capital Group. "It is always gratifying and a testament to our continued focus on seeking out the best opportunities for our clients in the global marketplace when they reward us with additional assets to manage." Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. is the world's largest marketer, distributor and producer of bottle and can liquid nonalcoholic refreshment. Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. sells approximately 80 percent of The Coca-Cola Company's bottle and can volume in North America.

Chalker said opportunistic core fixed income portfolios generally consist of 50 securities and are comprised of U.S. Treasuries, agencies, investment grade (A/A2min or better) corporate issues and mortgage-backed securities. LM Capital produces additional alpha for clients by opportunistically investing up to a maximum of 30 percent of the portfolio in the following three sectors: non-dollar denominated debt from industrialized nations, U.S. high-yield securities and U.S. dollar denominated debt of sovereign and corporate issues from developing (emerging) countries. This opportunistic approach allows LM Capital to provide clients with a portfolio which does not only enhance return, but also helps to reduce risk for their aggregate portfolio. "Given where interest rates are today and where they seem to be heading, the ability to invest opportunistically and to take advantage of our distinct competence in these areas gives clients the best chance to meet and exceed their investment goals in an increasingly difficult marketplace," added Luis Maizel, senior managing director, LM Capital Group.
