Abstract: Let $V_{i,j};(i,j)in{N}^2$ be a two-dimensional array of i.i.d. random variables. The limit laws of the sum of independent random products ${\displaystyle }$ Z_n=sum_{i=1}^{N_n} prod_{j=1}^{n} e^{V_{i,j}} ${\displaystyle }$ as $n,N_{n}oinfty$ have been investigated by a number of authors. Depending on the growth rate of $N_n$, the random variable $Z_n$ obeys a central limit theorem, or has limiting $alpha$-stable distribution. The latter result is true for non-lattice $V_{i,j}$ only. Our aim is to study the lattice case. We prove that although the (suitably normalized) sequence $Z_n$ fails to converge in distribution, it is relatively compact in the weak topology, and describe its cluster set. This set is a topological circle consisting of semi-stable distributions.
