The Securities Law Firm of Klayman & Toskes Continues to File Arbitration Claims On Behalf of Investors Who Purchased Morgan Keegan and Regions Financial Corp.'s Bond Mutual Funds -- RHY, RMH, RMA, RSF

BOCA RATON, Fla., Sept. 26, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Securities Law Firm of Klayman & Toskes, P.A. announced today that it filed another arbitration claim against Morgan Keegan and Regions Financial Corp., with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's ("FINRA") Office of Dispute Resolution. The latest claim seeks damages for losses sustained in four closed end funds: RMK Multi-Sector High Income Fund , RMK High Income Fund , RMK Advantage Income Fund and RMK Strategic Income Fund . According to the Statement of Claim, the Claimants lost money in these Funds due to Morgan Keegan's false and misleading statements about the Funds' risk tolerance and asset allocation, as well as the lack of diversification. Further, the Claim alleges that Morgan Keegan violated Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as the applicable state securities act, as a result of the firm's misrepresentations and omissions in connection with its sale of the securities to the Claimants.

Klayman & Toskes continues to file arbitration claims on behalf of aggrieved investors of the Regions Morgan Keegan Funds from across the country. After the monthly dividend for the closed-end funds was cut to about $0.01 per share, Klayman & Toskes has seen the number of inquires regarding securities arbitration claims against Morgan Keegan and Regions Financial Corp. increase substantially.

Following the cut in dividend and the recent Shareholder Conference Call with Hyperion Brookfield, many Regions Morgan Keegan Bond Fund investors are left searching for answers and weighing all of their options. According to Jahan K. Manasseh, an attorney at Klayman & Toskes, "Our firm has been filing arbitration claims against Morgan Keegan and Regions Financial since the beginning of 2008, yet we feel that we have only seen the tip of the iceberg. Many investors are just now learning that they do not have to wait for class action to take its course, but instead they can file an individual arbitration claim to obtain a recovery." The arbitration claims being filed by Klayman & Toskes against Morgan Keegan and Regions Financial Corp. involve losses in the following Regions Morgan Keegan Funds:

      RMH         RMK High Income Fund
      RHY         RMK Multi-Sector High Income Fund

Klayman & Toskes reminds investors of the benefits of filing an individual arbitration claim, as opposed to participating in a class action lawsuit. By participating in a class action lawsuit, an investor will most likely recover only pennies on the dollar. However, if one has experienced losses of $50,000 or more in the Regions Morgan Keegan Funds, it may be more beneficial for them to file an individual securities arbitration claim. In 2003, Klayman & Toskes conducted a study of securities arbitration versus class action. The study concluded that investors who file a securities arbitration claim may obtain an overall higher rate of recovery as opposed to participating in a class action lawsuit.
