DOW JONES INDEXES TO PUBLISH DOW 10 AND DOW 5 INDEXES

Watch Lists Will make The Dogs of the Dow Theory Transparent

NEW YORK, December 18, 2001 -
Dow Jones Indexes today introduced the Dow 10 and The Dow 5 Indexes, which are subsets of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

The Dow 10 Index measures the performance of the ten highest yielding stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, a strategy commonly referred to as the "Dogs of the Dow" and which typically consists of holding these 10 Dow stocks for one year.

The Dow 5 Index tracks the performance of the five lowest-priced stocks of the Dow 10 Index.

Michael A. Petronella, managing director, Dow Jones Indexes said, "We decided to publish official Dow 10 and Dow 5 Indexes because there is demand for investment products linked to these indexes. The index methodology and portfolios will now be consistent, clear and transparent--and comes from the same company that publishes The Dow Jones Industrial Average on which the strategy is based."

The Dow 10 and The Dow 5 Indexes are calculated using an equal-weighted methodology. A watch list for the indexes will be published monthly. The indexes will be available on both a Price Return and Total Return basis back to 12/31/1986.

The watch list will be generated at the end of each month after the top ten yielding stocks are selected for that year. In case of a component change in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the highest-ranking company on the most current watch list will be added to the Dow 10 and The Dow 5 index at the weight of the departing company.

Dow Jones Indexes will begin publishing a watch list for The Dow 10 and The Dow 5 Indexes on a daily basis beginning December 20, 2001, based on updated dividend data and closing prices from the previous trading day.

Both The Dow 10 and The Dow 5 Indexes are set at 189.60 on the base date of December 31, 1986. That number is equivalent to 10% of the Dow Jones Industrial Average as of that date.

End-of-day values of both indexes will be available through the major data vendors. The suggested ticker symbols are DOW10 and DOW5. The watch list and components will also be available on our web site: http://www.djindexes.com.

DOW JONES INDEXES AND STOXX TO IMPROVE SECTOR CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

Finer Breakout of Existing Industry and Sub-Groups to Meet Investors Needs

 


NEW YORK, November 12, 2001 - Dow Jones Indexes today announced improvements in the sector classification system of the Dow Jones Global Index family, which includes the pan-European STOXX indexes. The changes will be effective at the opening of trading on December 24, 2001.

The Dow Jones sector classification comprises four levels — economic sectors, market sectors, industry groups and sub groups. It is altered from time to time to reflect changes in sector and industry developments in the stock market as well as in investor interest. The two highest levels of the four-level classification system — economic sectors and market sectors — have a high acceptance in the investment community and will remain unchanged in this round of improvements. These sectors are widely used for index-linked investment products such as exchange-traded funds and derivatives.

The number of industry groups on the third level will be raised to 51 from 40. And the fourth level sub industry groups will increase to 89 from 70. Most of the changes will occur in the third and fourth levels of two market sectors: Industry Goods & Services and Technology. For the most part, the changes provide a finer degree of granularity, allowing investors to track specific parts of the market.

For example, the Technology market sector was split between Hardware & Equipment and Software industry groups. Now it is split into five industry groups: Technology Hardware & Equipment; Communications Technology; Semiconductors; Technology Services, and Software.

These classification changes will be effective with the 2001 fourth-quarter review of the Dow Jones and Dow Jones STOXX indexes. Because the changes primarily result in a finer breakout of existing industry and sub-groups, turnover attributable to the changes in the classification system is expected to be nominal. Quarterly review results will be announced on December 7, 2001, for U.S. components and on December 19, 2001, for Dow Jones STOXX indexes.

STOXX Ltd. and Dow Jones Indexes are fully integrated and use the same index classification system. The Dow Jones STOXX Index family represents the European region of the Dow Jones Global Index family. Index methodology, component classification, float weighting factors, rule books and transparency are identical for the entire index family.

Dow Jones Indexes is a premier global provider of investable indexes, including the Dow Jones Averages, the Dow Jones Global Titans 50, the Dow Jones Asian Titans 50, the Dow Jones Sector Titans 30, the Dow Jones Global Indexes, the Pan-European Dow Jones STOXX Indexes, the Dow Jones U.K. Titans 50, the Dow Jones Canada Titans 40, the Dow Jones Japan Titans 100, the Dow Jones Total Market Index Series, the Dow Jones REIT Indexes, the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index, the Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes, the Dow Jones Internet Indexes and the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes.

DOW JONES INDEXES LAUNCHES GROWTH AND VALUE INDEXES FOR CANADA

Investment Products Linked to the Indexes Expected to be Launched Soon

NEW YORK, November 8, 2001 - Dow Jones Indexes today launches style indexes measuring growth and value stocks in Canada.

The Dow Jones Canada Growth and Value Indexes will add to already existing Dow Jones Style Indexes from the U.S. and the Dow Jones STOXX Growth and Value indexes from Europe. The indexes are part of Dow Jones Indexes' global index family. Early next year, Dow Jones Indexes will launch style indexes for each of its European countries.

Michael Petronella, managing director of Dow Jones Indexes said, "The Dow Jones Canada Growth and Value Indexes will provide investors an additional asset allocation tool and give pension plans more precise benchmarks to measure the performance of their asset managers. The indexes are designed like their U.S. and European counterparts using two forward, two current and two historical criteria to more accurately identify value and growth companies."

Dow Jones Indexes expects to license the first exchange-traded funds based on the Dow Jones Canada Style Indexes within a few weeks.

Stocks in the Dow Jones Canada Growth and Value Indexes are categorized as either value or growth stocks according to six factors, rather than one or two as most existing style indexes use. This multi-factor methodology produces a superior measure of the Canadian market’ growth and value segments. The six fundamental factors are:

Projected Factors: 1. Projected P/E; 2. Projected Earnings Growth
Historical Factors: 1. Trailing P/E; 2. Trailing Earnings Growth
Current Factors: 1. Book Value; 2. Dividend Yield


Growth stocks tend to deliver steady and somewhat predictable revenue and earnings growth. Value stocks are out of favor but appear capable of returning to fair value.

The Dow Jones Canada Growth and Value index series is free-float market capitalization weighted and comprises twelve indexes: Large-Cap Growth, Large-Cap Value, Mid-Cap Growth, Mid-Cap Value, Small-Cap Growth and Small-Cap Value, Total Market Growth and Total Market Value, TopCap Value and TopCap Growth, and LowCap Value and LowCap Growth.

The Dow Jones Canada TopCap Growth and Value indexes are calculated and disseminated real-time through all major data vendors. The suggested ticker symbol for the TopCap growth index is DJCNTG and for the TopCap value index DJCNTV. For all other Dow Jones Growth and Value indexes end of day values are available at www.djindexes.com

The restatement of the index became necessary as result of altered pricing information from the Toronto Stock Exchange on October 2ND, the day that Canadian Pacific Ltd. split itself into five separate companies. In the restatement, Dow Jones Indexes is using prices consistent with those available to market participants.

The closing price for Pancanadian Energy Corp., which replaced Canadian Pacific Ltd. in the Dow Jones Canada 40 Titans index, is changed to 37.80 Canadian dollars for the restatement from 35.80 Canadian dollars used originally. Similarly, the closing price for Canadian Pacific Ltd. is changed to 47.85 Canadian dollars instead of 50.17 Canadian dollars.

This change will affect returns of both the index and investment products based upon it. Revised index data is available on the Dow Jones Indexes web site at http://www.djindexes.com..

"We regret the necessity of this restatement," said John Prestbo, editor of Dow Jones Indexes. "Ultimately, we are dependent upon accurate pricing information from the exchanges that trade the stocks included in our indexes. When those prices are changed ex post facto, we have no option other than to restate and accurately reflect market action. While returns of the Dow Jones Canada Titans 40 will be affected by the statement, users of the index can be assured that the index continues to offer a clear portrayal of the blue-chip segment of Canada’s stock market."
