                  THE FLEMING CLAVERHOUSE INVESTMENT TRUST plc



                          STOCK EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT



30th August 2002


Performance

In the six months to 30th June 2002, the Company produced a total return on net
assets of -10.4% compared with a -8.9% total return from the Company's
benchmark, the FTSE All-Share Index. This underperformance was more than
entirely due to gearing, which reduced the Company's total return by 2.4% during
the period. In contrast, the Company's asset allocation and stock selection
contributed positively to the relative return. Despite its impact on
performance, I would like to re-iterate the Board's belief that the gearing we
have in place will enhance investment returns over the long-term.

The total return to shareholders for the six months was -16.2%, with the share
price falling from 432.5p to 358.5p. As at 30th June 2002 the share price stood
at a discount to net asset value of 4.2%, down from a premium of 2.3% at the
year end.


Revenue and Dividends

Revenue after taxation for the six months to 30th June 2002 was £5,238,000,
compared with £4,684,000 for the corresponding period last year.

The Company's dividend policy remains unchanged and the Directors have already
declared two quarterly dividends of 2.30p each for the current financial year.
The first quarterly dividend was paid on 31st May 2002. The second quarterly
dividend is payable on 2nd September 2002 to shareholders on the Register at the
close of business on 2nd August 2002.  It is expected that the total dividend
for the year will be increased in line with, or above, the rate of inflation.
