      Unaudited Results for the half year ended                               
                   30th June,2000                                             
                                                                              

The  Fleming  American Investment  Trust  plc  today
announced  its unaudited results for the  half  year
ended 30th June 2000.

    Company outperforms benchmark index by 13.7%
    over 6 month period
     
    Share price increases by 15.6% over 6 month
    period

The net asset value per ordinary share increased  by
18.2%  over  the period to 981.5p as  at  30th  June
2000, compared with the S&P 500 Composite Index,  in
Sterling terms, which increased by 5.4%.

The  Company  performed particularly well  over  the
period  with the principal contribution coming  from
outperformance by both the large and  small  company
portfolios.  The agreed take-over of Robert  Fleming
Holdings Limited, the strength of the US dollar  and
the  beneficial effect of repurchasing 9.3m ordinary
shares for cancellation also added value.

1 Franked dividends are accounted for net of any tax
credits.   UK  dividend income has been restated  to
comply with Financial Reporting Standard 16 (FRS16).
This  is  a  change in accounting policy  which  has
replaced Statement of Standard Accounting Practice 8
(SSAP8).  Under  SSAP8,  dividends  were  recognised
inclusive  of  attributable tax credits  which  also
formed part of the tax charge. This has no effect on
Return  after  Taxation  or on  Total  Shareholders'
Funds.

With  effect  from 1st January 2000, the  management
fee  and  finance costs have been allocated  80%  to
capital  reserve - realised and 20% to  the  revenue
account,  in line with the Board's revised  expected
long  -term split of returns, in the form of capital
gains  and  income respectively, from the investment
portfolio of the Company. This represents  a  change
in  accounting policy, which was previously 100%  of
the  management fee and finance costs charged to the
revenue  account, and therefore, comparative figures
for June and December 1999 have been restated.


The  above financial information does not constitute
statutory accounts as defined in Section 240 of  the
Companies Act 1985. Statutory  accounts for the year
ended 31st December 1999 have been delivered to  the
Registrar of Companies.
