MEDIA RELEASE

ANZ Investments today announced it has suspended all managed fund
trading until further notice, due to the closure of various
international markets following the terrorist attacks in the United
States of America.

The decision, effective from 9.00 am today, has been made to protect
the interests of ANZ Investments' investors and is in line with steps
taken by other investment managers.

Due to the nature of their investments, ANZ's V2 PLUS, Cash Plus,
Mortgage Fund and Superannuation Savings Account will continue to
operate as normal.

ANZ Investments will continue to monitor the impact on global markets
and managed fund trading will re-commence as soon as ANZ is satisfied
that markets are trading normally,
