STOCK EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT

FINSBURY GROWTH TRUST PLC


The Directors of Finsbury Growth Trust PLC announce that a circular was posted
to shareholders on 15 June 2002 convening the Annual General Meeting ('AGM') on
9 July 2002 at 12 noon.

The Company is obliged under the Companies Act 1985 to hold an AGM in each
calendar year. The Directors believe that it is more practical in future to hold
AGMs in January each year and will therefore hold the 2002 AGM in July to
consider certain matters. The 2003 AGM will be held in January 2003, at which
time shareholders will be asked, amongst other things, to approve the Report and
Accounts and the payment of a final dividend in respect of the year ending 30
September 2002.
