Press Release Body: Trump Organization USA announced plans to launch a $1 billion
hedge fund to invest in Indian real estate. Donald Trump Jr.\'s interest in the
Indian real estate market was sparked in 2007 when he visited the subcontinent for
the Cityscape real-estate conference in Mumbai.

the son of the brash American real estate tycoon and reality-TV star - appeared at
the high-profile Cityscape India 2007 real estate conference in Mumbai to give a
speech on the subcontinent\'s booming property market. Trump, the executive vice
president of development and acquisitions at New York-based Trump Organization USA
LLC, said India\'s red-hot economy has fueled demand for more residential
development, particularly luxury housing, but also hotels and resorts for the
country\'s flourishing tourism industry. Before he departed, Trump indicated his
desire to invest in India\'s real estate sector, and hinted that he wouldn\'t wait
long to do so. \"We feel it is now time to invest in Indian realty projects as the
quality has moved up and we see emergence of some high-end developers with a product
level that will support our brand,\" he said in his speech.

It appears that time is now: Trump announced in late July that he intends to set up
a hedge fund worth up to $1 billion to invest in Indian real estate. Accordingly,
the privately held fund would initially target property in Mumbai and also include
an Indian family as investors. Thirty year-old Trump did not give specific details
about the fund, such as how he plans to raise the money, or where the first
investment would be made. But in an interview with New York-based media company
Bloomberg LP, he did say that it would start conservatively and expand as the
opportunities presented themselves.\"The fund will be for acquisitions of real estate
in the high end and across the spectrum,\" Trump said. \"We\'ll start it off relatively
small and grow it as we get more familiar with the Indian market. Our entry has to
be in Mumbai, and that\'s where everything is going on right now in terms of the
high-end real estate. That\'s the place where one is going to achieve the highest
prices per square foot. It sets the tone for all of the other future
developments.\"Trump eschews investing in India\'s smaller and less-affluent cities -
he stated publicly at Cityscape India 2007 that he has no intention of entering the
middle- or low-income segment because \"the best is in the high-end sector.\" When
asked at the conference which cities Trump Organization would consider for business
deals, Trump responded, \"Certainly, the city I\'m standing on (Mumbai), Delhi,
Hyderabad and Bangalore, where the IT sector has witnessed a boom.\".........
