Interim Management Statement

CHELVERTON GROWTH TRUST PLC

INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

For the quarter ended 31 May 2010

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The investment objective of the Company is to provide capital growth through
investment in companies listed on the Official List and traded on the
Alternative Investment Market (`AIM') with a market capitalisation at the time
of investment of up to £50 million, which are believed to be at a `point of
change'. Its investment objective is to increase net asset value per share at a
higher rate than other quoted smaller company trusts and the FTSE All-Share
Index.

INVESTMENT POLICY

The Company invests principally in securities of publicly quoted UK companies,
though it may invest in unquoted securities. The concentrated UK portfolio
comprises between 20 to 35 securities. The performance of the Company's
investments is compared to the FTSE All-Share Index. The Company will also
invest in unquoted investments where it is believed that there is a likelihood
of the shares becoming listed or traded on AIM or the investee company being
sold. The Company will not invest in any listed investment companies or listed
investment trusts.

It is intended from time to time, when deemed appropriate, that the Company
will borrow for investment purposes. It currently has no borrowings.

The investment objective and policy stated above are intended to distinguish
the Company from other investment vehicles which have relatively narrow
investment objectives and which are constrained in their decision making and
asset allocation. The objective and policy allow the Company to be constrained
in its investment selection only by valuation and to be pragmatic in portfolio
construction by only investing in securities which the Investment Manager
considers to be undervalued on an absolute basis.
