Hugh de Lusignan, CEO of SovGEM, comments:



"We are pleased that during 2007 SovGEM's share price has appreciated 34%,
reflecting the strong underlying performance of our portfolio investments.



"We remain confident that in 2008 the Chinese economy, led by ever rising
domestic demand and consumption, will continue to grow, particularly with the
country's 11th Five-Year Plan for National Economy and Social Development and
the extra economic boost that it will receive from hosting the 2008 Beijing
Olympic Games.



"A key element of SovGEM's investment strategy is investing in companies that
are in the process of undertaking a financial 'step change'.  All of our
unquoted investee companies are planning to float during 2008.



"At the end of November we reached our three-year anniversary.  During this
period we have achieved a CAGR of 36%, a track record that we are proud of and
look forward to maintaining."



The Company has also released an updated investment presentation, which can be
