LJL Funding, LLC poses the question: Where do we go for sound financial advice and investment strategies in today’s uncertain market? In times past, in a Bear market, investors have first moved to the sidelines and then into savings in certificates of deposit (CD’s). The experts are now recommending investments in High-Yield Bond Funds. Is Trust Deed Investments the answer to our current investment woes?

San Diego, CA (EMWNews) July 26, 2008 — According to Johann de Villiers, President of LJL Funding, LLC and manager of the LJL Funding Secured High Yield Income Fund I, “Your family is entitled to a secure investment they can understand.” Johann’s free 10 Minute Economic Update is read by thousands each week. “As an investor in our trust deed investment Fund, regulated by the California Department of Corporations, you have the security and diversity of real properties without the complexities and uncertainties of the market.” The LJL Secured High Yield Income Fund I is professionally managed and audited with monthly reporting and income checks. Investors are currently receiving yields above 10.5% annually (past performance does not guarantee future results). Wall Street financial advisors searching for risk reward alternatives are recommending the Bond Market to meet the expectations of investors wanting to feel safer. Given the state of the U.S. and world economies; compounded by troubled blue chip companies, financial institutions and municipalities, the Bond Market is proving to be a higher risk-lower yield investment.

If the Bond Market is proving to be riskier, oil prices are at an all time high and rising, Wall Street is in a state of confusion with inflation fueling up, where should you look to put your investment dollars? Investors want to diversify away from traditional markets that have become shaky and not providing acceptable returns or security. Investments in High Yield Income Funds and trust deed investments are gaining strength. Fractionalized investments are attractive, but investing through a fund can provide more benefits than an individual trust deed. These benefits include diversity (particularly relevant in a down stock market), relative liquidity, and possibly the option to compound your monthly payments.

Benefits of investing in the High Yield Income Fund (trust deed investments) include:

– Diversification – your investment risk is spread over multiple loans

– Investment Performance – anticipated high yields (10% +, but past performance does not guarantee future results)

– Fully Invested – your investment remains fully invested at all times

– Compound Interest – you have the ability to reinvest some or all of your monthly interest thus taking advantage of the benefits of compounding the return

Investor Qualifications for the High Yield Income Fund (trust deed investments):

– Investors have to be bona fide California residents or foreign nationals living abroad

– Investors must have a net worth (excluding home and automobiles) of at least $250,000 and an annual income of at least $65,000 or a net worth of $500,000 (excluding home and automobiles)
