NEW YORK, June 24, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Securities Law Firm of Klayman &
Toskes, P.A. http://www.nasd-law.com, representing numerous investors who
sustained losses in Citigroup's (NYSE:C) Hedge Funds managed by Citi Alternative
Investments, issued an important notice to all former Smith Barney/Citi Private
Bank Financial Advisors who sold the ASTA, MAT and/or Falcon Funds to their
clients. Klayman & Toskes has filed an arbitration claim, Case No. 09-00385,
with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority on behalf of an investor who
lost money in Citigroup's Hedge Funds. The Law Firm is interested in talking
with all former Smith Barney/Citi Private Bank Financial Advisors who have
knowledge of the sales practices and representations made by Smith Barney, Citi
Private Bank and/or Citi Alternative Investments regarding the ASTA, MAT and
Falcon Funds. Many Smith Barney/Citi Private Bank Financial Advisors have
reported that they were provided with misinformation concerning the ASTA, MAT
and Falcon Funds, which in turn was passed on to their clients. As a result,
investors in the ASTA, MAT and Falcon Funds, who were seeking low risk, tax free
income, sustained significant losses.

The attorneys at Klayman & Toskes are dedicated to pursuing claims on behalf of
investors who have suffered investment losses. Klayman & Toskes, an experienced,
qualified, and nationally recognized securities litigation law firm, practices
exclusively in the field of securities arbitration and litigation. It continues

and litigation matters against major Wall Street brokerage firms.
