DOW JONES-AIG COMMODITY INDEX OUTLOOK MEDIA EVENT RECAP

London, September 20, 2005 –The Dow Jones AIG Commodity Total Return Index is up over 16% this year through September 16. A panel of leading market experts is giving an outlook on commodities this morning in London.

Prices are still expected to remain significantly above the levels of the 1990s

"Over the past few years incremental demand growth in China has been equivalent to incremental supply growth in Russia. Russia's production problems today are highlighting a more widespread problem across the non-OPEC region to meet rapidly expanding oil demand, particularly across Asia,” said Michael Lewis, Global Head of Commodities Research at Deutsche Bank. “Under-investment in productive capacity, limits to refining capacity and the potential for further extreme weather events are sustaining a bullish price outlook for energy prices into 2006. The dangers of a US recession in the near term are low. However, we expect the vigour of the US expansion to begin to slow during 2007 and this offers the best chance for oil prices to fall from current record highs. We see little chance of oil prices returning to the levels of the 1990s and envisage oil prices at USD40/barrel over the medium term, or more than twice the average level of the 1990s," Michael continued.

Continued bull run in gold in 2005 with probable high of $475 and a possible high of $500

"As gold strikes a fresh 17 year high, there seems to be little overhead technical resistance until the psychologically important $500 level," said Ross Norman, director of thebulliondesk.com. "Having recently broken some important chart points &nash; is the market unencumbered for a move towards $1,000? Ongoing geopolitical tension, the prospect of inflation, a declining US dollar &nash; and we have not even started to consider the markets fundamentals which remain equally compelling. Onwards and upwards would appear the most likely scenario."

Base metals prices should remain well above long-run averages

"We are in the middle of a huge bull market in commodities, and as long as the global economy does not nosedive, 2006 is shaping up to be another strong year for pricing. Copper is the only one of the for main base metals which we see moving into surplus in 2006, and even there, the size of the surplus does not look big enough to return inventories to "normal" levels," stated Adam Rowley, commodities analyst at Macquarie Bank Ltd.. "Zinc and aluminium should see substantial reductions in inventories, and nickel inventories are likely to remain tight. As a result, base metals prices should remain well above long-run averages, although in the case of copper, that does not mean that they will be higher than today."

Investors Continue to Consider Commodities for Portfolio Diversification

"Commodities are continuing their multi year rally with the Dow Jones – AIG Commodity Index Total Return up 16.35% Year to Date as of September 16th. Hurricane Katrina damaged key natural gas and crude oil production facilities as well as a significant percentage of US refining capacity just as winter approaches," said Daniel Raab, managing director at AIG Financial Products Corp. "The dramatic short term impact on natural gas and refined product (gasoline and heating oil) prices underlined the tightness of many commodities markets. Moreover, there are signs that higher energy prices may be filtering through to the broader economy with recent rises in both CPI and PPI. These recent events have again served to remind investors of the importance of commodities in the broader economy. In addition, they have underlined the lack of correlation between commodities and traditional financial assets as well as their long term positive returns."

The Dow Jones–AIG Commodity Index, a diversified and highly liquid benchmark for the commodities markets, is composed of futures contracts on physical commodities and was introduced in 1998. The 19 commodities currently in the DJ-AIG Commodity Index are: aluminum, cattle, coffee, copper, corn, cotton, crude oil, gold, heating oil, hogs, natural gas, nickel, silver, soybeans, soybean oil, sugar, unleaded gas, wheat and zinc. Currently, there is an estimated $15 billion invested in financial products that are tracking the DJ-AIGCI on a global basis.

DOW JONES INDEXES TO LAUNCH EURO CURRENCY INDEXES

NEW YORK (Sept. 13, 2005) –Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today launched two currency indexes—The Dow Jones Euro Currency Index and The Dow Jones Euro Currency 5 Index—that measure the value of the euro by tracking the exchange rates of currencies in countries that have significant economic relationships with the Euro zone.

The Dow Jones Euro Currency Index was created as a benchmark of the euro’s performance in the context of the global economy. The index measures changes in the value of the euro by tracking its exchange rates against 10 currencies: the U.S. dollar; the Japanese yen; the British pound; the Swiss franc; the Russian ruble; the Swedish krona; the Korean won; the Canadian dollar; the Taiwan dollar; and the Australian dollar.

The Dow Jones Euro Currency 5 Index is a subset of the Dow Jones Euro Currency Index and is designed to be the basis of financial products such as listed futures and options contracts, as well as over-the-counter swaps and structured products. The index measures the value of the euro against the five most liquid currencies: the U.S. dollar, the Japanese yen, the British pound, the Swiss franc, and the Australian dollar.

"With these innovative indexes, Dow Jones Indexes extends coverage to the currency asset class for the first time with a focus on the euro, which has become the second most heavily traded currency in the world in just five-and-a-half years of its existence,” said Michael Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes/Ventures. “The indexes can be used by international portfolio managers and traders as an effective aid in hedging currency risk in their euro-denominated investments. The investable Dow Jones Euro Currency 5 Index enhances that utility with a basket of the world’s most liquid currencies."

The Dow Jones Euro Currency Index and the Dow Jones Euro Currency 5 Index are economically weighted. They are the first indexes to select and weigh currency components with three factors: bilateral trade with the Euro zone (40%), money supply as defined by M2 (40%) and Gross Domestic Product (20%). Both the Dow Jones Euro Currency Index and the Dow Jones Euro Currency 5 Index are calculated in real time using foreign-exchange rates from Reuters.

The Dow Jones Euro Currency Index and the Dow Jones Euro Currency 5 Index are reviewed annually in March. History for both indexes is available back to Dec. 31, 1998, with a base value of 100. The components, weightings and daily closing values of the Dow Jones Euro Currency Index and the Dow Jones Euro Currency 5 Index are available on www.djindexes.com.

DOW JONES LAUNCHES NORTH PATH 15 HOURLY INDEX

Change also made to California-Oregon Border Index

NEW YORK (September 8, 2005) –Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, announced the launch of the Dow Jones North Path 15 (NP-15) Hourly Index, the latest in a series of electricity indexes that track physical transactions along various geographic points in the U.S.

The Dow Jones NP-15 Hourly Index is a volume weighted average of physical, hour-by-hour transactions that occur along delivery points in Northern California. Index participants provide Dow Jones Indexes with their itemized, bilateral transactions and volume for eligible electricity products sold in the region north of the Path 15 area. The index is published once daily on the trading day following the power flow date; transactions done on September 6 are published on September 7. The indexes are calculated 365 days a year.

The Dow Jones NP-15 Hourly Index joins five other hourly indexes and nine daily indexes that make up the Dow Jones Electricity Index family, considered the most reliable and broad-based pricing benchmarks available in the U.S. and Europe. The daily indexes average together prescheduled blocks of power for the entire power flow date.

The hourly indexes were first introduced in June 2002 to meet the demand of market participants for more pricing information. They are utilized by power producers, hedge funds, traders and utilities for pricing short- and long-term contracts and associated OTC hedging instruments, and by energy market analysts and regulators for cost assessment and market analysis.

The other hourly indexes are the Dow Jones Four Corners Index, Dow Jones California Oregon Border (COB) Index, Dow Jones Mid-Columbia (Mid-C) Index, Dow Jones Palo Verde Index and Dow Jones South Path 15 (SP-15) Index, and the daily indexes are the Dow Jones Four Corners Index, Dow Jones California-Oregon Border Index, Dow Jones Mid-Columbia Index, Dow Jones Mead Index, Dow Jones Palo Verde Index, Dow Jones South Path 15 Index, Dow Jones North Path 15 Index, Dow Jones Cinergy Index and Dow Jones Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland (PJM) Index.

In addition, effective immediately, the Nevada-Oregon border will be removed from the Dow Jones COB Index due to pricing differences between the two hubs. A daily index for the NOB region, which has been part of the COB Index since its inception in 1995, is currently under review.

Institutional Markets Team Created To Educate Financial Community About Dow Jones Wilshire Indexes

NEW YORK, September 1, 2005 –Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, announced today it is taking further steps to advance its institutional index business by establishing a team dedicated to service the financial industry about the benefits of using the Dow Jones Wilshire family of indexes as benchmarks for portfolios and portfolio analysis. Ronnee Ades who was named to senior director of institutional markets will head the new team at Dow Jones Indexes.

"We have focused on developing and rolling out indexes that are ideal for institutional investors, and that are unparalleled in the market,” said Michael A. Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes/Ventures. “Our dedicated institutional markets team will strengthen Dow Jones Indexes’ position in the institutional space and I am confident that Ms. Ades and her team will provide the necessary support to make this initiative a success for Dow Jones Indexes and our clients."

Dow Jones Indexes first emerged as a player in the institutional arena when it partnered with Wilshire Associates in 2004 to co-brand and market the Dow Jones Wilshire family of indexes. The two organizations have float adjusted the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 and have introduced a full suite of U.S. indexes based on the 5000 including mid-, small- and micro-cap indexes as well as growth and value indexes.

Complementing the Dow Jones Wilshire index family in the institutional arena are the recently introduced Dow Jones Target Date Indexes, which are maturity-date based portfolio indexes. The first indexes of their kind, Dow Jones Target Date Indexes represent a mix of stocks, bonds and cash, the proportions of which automatically adjust over time to reflect more conservative allocations as an investor’s retirement or other goal date approaches.

The changes in the Dow Jones Retail Titans 30 and the Dow Jones Japan Titans 100 indexes will be effective at the start of trading Thursday, September 1, 2005.

The new organization set-up to support this strategically important initiative includes seven business development executives and is supported by product development, index maintenance and research staff.

A recent hire for Dow Jones Indexes’ new institutional markets team is Jay Merrill Thompson, who has more than 25 years of experience in the financial-services industry. Mr. Thompson was most recently vice president and director of marketing for Opus Investment Management in Worcester, MA.

DOW JONES INDEXES AND WILSHIRE ASSOCIATES ANNOUNCE CHANGES TO THE U.S. COMPANY DEFINITION FOR THE DOW JONES WILSHIRE 5000 COMPOSITE INDEX

NEW YORK and SANTA MONICA, Calif. (Aug. 11, 2005) –Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, and Wilshire Associates Incorporated, one of the world’s leading investment consulting, investment management and investment technology firms, today announced changes to the U.S. company definition for the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index.

Beginning with the September 2005 rebalance, the U.S. company definition for inclusion in the index will change to include corporations that, for business reasons, are technically based outside of the U.S. but are considered by the investment community to be headquartered in the U.S.

"The Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Index will now include securities of firms that legally are located outside of the U.S., but for all intents and purposes are thought of by most investors as U.S. companies,” said Michael A. Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes/Ventures. “The 32 companies that currently would be added to the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 using the new definition have a full-capitalization total market value of $130 billion. Approximately 65% of that is the combined market cap of the top three, which are Tyco Intl. Ltd. (NYSE: TYC), Ace Ltd. (NYSE: ACE) and Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (Nasdaq: MRVL)."

"As has been our practice historically, we are making adjustments that we feel are appropriate to the current investment environment,” said Dennis Tito, chairman and chief executive officer of Wilshire Associates, who spearheaded the development of the index in 1972. “By including the securities of firms that have relocated outside of the U.S. or were founded in other countries but have a significant presence within our nation, we’ve ensured that the scope of the domestic market—as perceived by investors—is included in the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000."

Going forward, each company included in the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000—including multinationals—is assigned to the country of its headquarters and primary market listing, which typically also match its country of incorporation. In cases where headquarters and primary market listing don’t match, such as where there is no readily accessible home-equity market or where a company is domiciled in one country solely for tax or regulatory purposes, the company will be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

Factors that may be considered in the analysis, but are not limited to, include:

The country where the company's headquarters and management are located.
The company's legal domicile.
The stock exchange(s) it trades on, if there is no listing in its home country.
The currency in which dividends (if any) are paid, and the tax laws affecting the treatment of those dividends.
The location of its operations (production assets).

Dow Jones Wilshire indexes are available on market data vendor platforms, many in real-time format, and on the Dow Jones Indexes (www.djindexes.com) and Wilshire Associates (www.wilshire.com) Web sites. History is available back to Dec. 31,1970. Dow Jones Indexes also distributes data related to the Dow Jones Wilshire indexes to data vendors and other users. The Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index is calculated and distributed by Dow Jones Indexes pursuant to an agreement between Dow Jones & Company and Wilshire Associates Incorporated.

DOW JONES INDEXES GRANTS ITS FIRST DOW JONES U.S. TARGET DATE INDEX LICENSE

NEW YORK, July 19, 2005 – Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, has granted Arrivato Advisors LLC its first license to use the Dow Jones U.S. Target Date Indexes as the basis of mutual funds. The "Arrivato Dow Jones U.S.Target Date Funds" are the first indexed "life-cycle" funds specific to the U.S. market.

Dow Jones Target Date Indexes are designed to be used as the benchmark for balanced and multi-asset-class portfolios with risk profiles that become more conservative over time by reducing the equity component as a target date approaches.

Arrivato Advisors, an investment management firm registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, will utilize the Dow Jones U.S. Target 2010, Dow Jones U.S. Target 2015, Dow Jones U.S. Target 2020, Dow Jones U.S. Target 2030, and Dow Jones U.S. Target 2040 indexes to create products for investors who wish to take a "set-it-and-forget-it" investment approach.

"Over the long run, indexing has proven its ability to outperform active management," said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes/Ventures. "Now, investors with a preference for life-cycle products have the advantage of indexing. We are pleased that Arrivato has chosen the Dow Jones U.S. Target Date Indexes as the basis of its fund offerings."

"The target date approach is one favored by defined contribution investors, particularly for 401(k) and IRA programs," said Eric Rubin, president of Arrivato Advisors LLC. "Using the Dow Jones U.S. Target Date Index helps investors achieve their investment goals, while simplifying their allocation strategies."

Each Dow Jones U.S. Target Date Index is a blend of indexes that track three separate asset classes – stocks, bonds and cash. The weightings of the indexes representing each separate asset class are adjusted on a monthly basis to hit predefined relative risk levels. Each index in the target date family comprises six Dow Jones equity indexes and three Lehman bond indexes. The Lehman one-to-three month T-bill index serves as the cash component.

Over time, the relative risk of each Dow Jones U.S. Target Date Index declines to a more conservative 20% equity index component weighting from an aggressive 90% equity index component weighting. Once the 20% level is reached, the index's equity component weighting remains constant.

The methodology, as well as a full list of components - including weightings and index values for the Dow Jones Target Date Indexes - are available at www.djindexes.com.

MARKIT, DOW JONES INDEXES AND FTSE GROUP ANNOUNCE ICB AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION CODES FOR CREDIT MARKETS

LONDON, July 18, 2005 – Markit Group Limited ("Markit"), the leading industry source for independent markto-market pricing, asset valuations, dividend forecasting and index services, today announced it is to adopt the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB), a joint product of Dow Jones Indexes and FTSE Group (FTSE). ICB will be implemented for use within Markit's entire range of entities, across all asset classes.

The ICB sector classifications are a four-tier hierarchical industry classification structure centred on a rules-based methodology for placing entities within sectors.

Markit will work closely with ICB to provide classifications for the entire universe of around 5,000 credit default swap reference entities and bond issuing entities, which will enhance ICB's existing coverage of approximately 40,000 equities. Markit will also incorporate the ICB sectors within its equity index feeds, which will be offered on a pass-through basis to end users.

Markit's Reference Entity Database (RED) already provides the industry standard reference entity names, reference obligations and codes used throughout the credit default swap markets. This partnership will ensure that each entity is further classified under ICB guidelines, providing a four-tier classification structure.

Tom McNerney, Managing Director and Head of Analytics at Markit said, "ICB's classification process provides a comprehensive structure which will enhance our customers' ability to build diverse and more accurate credit indices and portfolios. Our input will ensure that entities within the credit markets are correctly classified from an economic perspective."

James Cemprola, Managing Director of ICB said, "We are delighted to be working with Markit, who will now enable us to apply ICB classifications for the global credit markets. Our users will have the additional comfort of knowing that all the entities in our database match the underlying RED codes."

DOW JONES INDEXES, AIG FINANCIAL PRODUCTS CORP. ANNOUNCE NEW COMMODITY INDEXES

Additional Benchmarks for Rapidly Growing Asset Class,
Non-US Dollar Denominated Indexes Created

NEW YORK and WILTON, CT, July 11, 2005 – Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, and AIG Financial Products Corp., a leader in financial derivatives products and a wholly-owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc., today announced the creation of five new commodity indexes and sub-indexes. Two of these are sub-indexes of the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index^SM (DJ-AIGCI^SM). Two of the indexes are Euro and Yen denominated versions of the existing DJ-AIGCI, and the third is a spot price version of the DJAIGCI.

The five new indexes and sub-indexes join the two indexes and seven subindexes already calculated daily by Dow Jones and AIG Financial Products Corp. The expansion of the index family responds to the rapid growth of interest in commodities as an asset class.

The five new indexes and sub-indexes are: the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index Euro^SM, the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index Yen^SM, the Dow Jones-AIG ExEnergy Sub-Index^SM, the Dow Jones-AIG Agriculture Sub-Index^SM and the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Spot Index^SM. Also available are total return versions of each of the new indexes and sub-indexes with the exception of the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Spot Index.

Dow Jones Indexes, in conjunction with AIG Financial Products Corp., is launching the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Euro and Yen Indexes in response to increased demand in Europe and Japan for non-US Dollar denominated commodity indexes. The Dow Jones-AIG ExEnergy Sub-Index will allow investors to track a diversified basket of commodity futures without exposure to energy futures prices, and currently consists of the following 15 commodity futures: Aluminum, Coffee, Copper, Corn, Cotton, Gold, Lean Hogs, Live Cattle, Nickel, Silver, Soybeans, Soybean Oil, Sugar, Wheat, and Zinc.

The Dow Jones-AIG Agriculture Sub-Index consists of the following seven commodity futures: Coffee, Corn, Cotton, Soybeans, Soybean Oil, Sugar, and Wheat.

The Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Spot Index measures the price movements of the commodities included in the DJ-AIGCI. This new spot index provides a general estimate of trends in commodity prices, ignoring the effects of rolling futures contracts and the costs of actually holding physical commodities.

"This expansion of the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index complex will enhance the ability of investors to track specific exposures within this significant asset class. We have responded quickly to investor demand for additional currencies and a wider range of segment subsets," said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes/Ventures.

"The new additions to the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index collection of indexes and sub-indexes will be important tools in today's expanding marketplace for commodities products. Interest in commodities is increasingly global in scope, with a focus on the diversification benefits of this asset class," said Joseph Cassano, president and chief executive officer of AIG Financial Product Corp. "Growing numbers of investors are taking a closer look at commodities indexes because returns have historically been negatively correlated with stock and bond returns and positively correlated with inflation measures."

The Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index, a diversified and highly liquid benchmark for the commodities markets, is composed of futures contracts on physical commodities and was introduced in 1998. The new DJ-AIGCI indexes and subindexes provide a means for investors to track non-US Dollar-denominated exposures to commodities and to tailor exposures to various commodity sectors.

Currently, there is an estimated $15 billion invested in financial products that are tracking the DJ-AIGCI on a global basis.

DOW JONES INDEXES AND BAHRAIN STOCK EXCHANGE LAUNCH DOW JONES BAHRAIN INDEX

NEW YORK and BAHRAIN, July 5, 2005 – Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, and the Bahrain Stock Exchange (BSE) today launched the Dow Jones Bahrain Index. The index is a broad benchmark index that represents all tradable stocks that are listed at the Bahrain Stock Exchange.

The index currently includes 32 components. The five biggest companies by full-market capitalization are Bahrain Telecommunications Co. (BD1,530 million), Ahli United Bank (BD803 million), Investcorp Bank S.A. (BD603 million), National Bank of Bahrain (BD567 million) and Gulf Finance House E.C. (BD506 million).

The Dow Jones Bahrain Index was developed to meet increasing demand for a transparent and competitive index whose methodology was in line with a global index family. The Dow Jones Bahrain Index will be calculated in both the Bahraini dinar and the U.S. dollar - making the performance of the Bahrain stock market easily comparable to other Dow Jones GCC market indexes, as well as to more than 40 equity markets globally. The index is investable and is designed to serve as an underlying for investment products such as mutual funds, ETFs and other investable products.

"With the launch of the Dow Jones Bahrain Index, Dow Jones Indexes becomes the first major global index provider to cover the Bahrain equities market," said Lars Hamich, managing director of STOXX Ltd., the joint venture responsible for Dow Jones Indexes' business development in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. "The cooperation with the Bahrain Stock Exchange is an important step in solidifying our role as the leading index provider in the GCC region. We are optimistic that this index will help to raise the profile of this ambitious and upcoming financial market as an investment destination for international investors."

"We are delighted with the official launch of the Dow Jones Bahrain Index, and we are also happy to be the first stock exchange in the region that has a joint index with Dow Jones as a global index provider with a sound international reputation," said Fouad Rashid, director of the Bahrain Stock Exchange. "We believe that this index will contribute to enhancing the position of the kingdom of Bahrain as an international financial center by attracting more investments."

He added, "Announcing this index will help to enlighten the opportunities available for investors from all over the world at the Bahrain Stock Exchange, which allows 100% non-Bahraini ownership in the Bahraini equities market, and enforces no tax on capital gain or on dividends. We hope that this step will encourage local, regional and international financial institutions to benefit from this index to gain more credibility and wider exposure for their products among potential international clients."

The Dow Jones Bahrain Index is a composite index of all stocks listed on the Bahrain Stock Exchange. Eligible companies must be domiciled and headquartered in Bahrain, and the company's stock must have its primary listing on the Bahrain Stock Exchange. The index is weighted based on full-market capitalization. Daily historical index values are available back to Dec. 31, 1999.

Further information about the Dow Jones Bahrain Index and the respective component list is available at www.djindexes.com.

DOW JONES INDEXES TO LAUNCH U.S. MICROCAP INDEX

Index Licensed to First Trust Advisors as Underlying for First ETF.

NEW YORK June 27, 2005 – Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today launched the Dow Jones Select MicroCap Index, which will track the performance of U.S. microcap companies listed at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), American Stock Exchange (AMEX) and Nasdaq. The index currently consists of 281 stocks.

The Dow Jones Select MicroCap Index was created to provide market participants with an accurate and reliable measure of the U.S. microcap segment. The index has been licensed to First Trust Advisors L.P. as the underlying for an upcoming exchange-traded fund (ETF). The ETF now enables investors – for the first time – to participate in the performance of microcap stocks.

"Microcap stocks perform very differently from larger stocks, and have yielded even greater rewards in recent years," said Michael A. Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes/Ventures. "The Dow Jones Select MicroCap Index follows a superior methodology, which eliminates problems usually associated with this category – such as illiquid financially instable stocks."

The initial stock selection pool is determined by ranking all NYSE stocks by full-market capitalization into 10 equal-numbered deciles, with deciles nine and 10 defining the microcap size range. Issues then are added from the AMEX and Nasdaq exchanges that fit this size range. The next step is a screening of this universe by market capitalization and trading liquidity screens, followed by applying further fundamental screens such as price/earnings ratio, price/sales ratio, profit change, operating margin and performance return screens.

The Dow Jones Select MicroCap Index is reviewed annually each September. The components, weightings and daily closing values of the Dow Jones Select MicroCap Index are available on www.djindexes.com.

COMPONENT CHANGE MADE TO DOW JONES CHINA INDEXES.

Changes Are a Result of a Regular Quarterly Review of the Index

BEIJING, June 23, 2005 – Dow Jones Indexes today announced the results of the second regular quarterly review in 2005 for Dow Jones China Indexes (Dow-China Indexes). The component changes in the Dow Jones China 88 (Dow-China 88), Dow Jones China Total Market (Dow-China Total Market), Dow Jones Shanghai (Dow- Shanghai), Dow Jones Shenzhen (Dow-Shenzhen) Index, and Dow Jones CBN China 600 Index will be effective on July 1, 2005.

Following the adjustment, three components have been replaced in the Dow-China 88, which tracks the largest and most liquid 88 stocks in China's Class-A market and reflects roughly 35.49% of the total float market capitalization of both the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets. The number of Shanghai-listed stocks in the Dow-China 88 increases from 58 to 59 components, while the number of Shenzhen-listed stocks decreases from 30 to 29 components. Shanghai-listed stocks represent 72.94% of the free float market capitalization of the Dow-China 88, compared to 27.06% for Shenzhenlisted components.

The number of components in the Dow- Shanghai Index will decrease to 708 from 709, with 11 additions and 12 deletions, while the number of components in the Dow-Shenzhen index will decrease to 445 from 454, with five additions and 14 deletions. The Dow-Shanghai index represents roughly 95% of the free float market capitalization of Shanghai market, and the Dow-Shenzhen index represents roughly 95% of the free float market capitalization of Shenzhen market. The Dow-China Total Market Index reflects roughly 95% percent of the free float market capitalization for both the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets.

Dow Jones Indexes completed the fourth regular quarterly review for the Dow Jones CBN China 600 Index, which was launched on September 6, 2004. As a result of this regular review 25 components have been replaced in the DJ-CBN 600 Index, which reflects roughly 80% of China's total free float market capitalization.

Aimed at providing investors in China and around the world with an accurate tool for tracking equity performance in China's growing stock markets, the Dow-China Indexes are constructed with the same strict standards used to develop the Dow Jones Global Indexes.

DOW JONES INDEXES AND RHB LAUNCH NEW INDEX FOR SHARI’AH COMPLIANT STOCKS

New Index Part of Global Dow Jones Islamic Market Index Family

NEW YORK and KUALA LUMPUR, June 23, 2005 – Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, and RHB Securities Sdn Bhd today announced the launch of the Dow Jones-RHB Islamic Malaysia Index. The new index was developed jointly by Dow Jones Indexes and RHB Research Institute Sdn Bhd and will replace the RHB Islamic Index that has been in use since May 1996.

The Dow Jones-RHB Islamic Malaysia Index is part of the Dow Jones Islamic Market Index series, and follows the methodology of the Sharia'h compliant index family. The index, which is based on internationally acknowledged Islamic finance standards, has been developed specifically to meet the growing demand for Shari'ah compliant equity indexes – specifically for the Malaysian market. The Dow Jones Shari'ah Supervisory Board, a group of international Shari'ah scholars, oversees the execution of the Shari'ah standards used by Dow Jones Indexes.

"The launch of the Dow Jones-RHB Islamic Malaysia Index marks another major step in our effort to provide a Shari'ah compliant index family that covers all countries that have significant Islamic-based investment criteria," said Lars Hamich, managing director of STOXX Ltd., the joint venture that is responsible for Dow Jones Indexes' business development in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. "Equally important, the index is available and accessible to institutional and eventually retail investors all over the world."

Executive Chairman of RHB Capital Bhd ("RHB Capital") Dato Sri Sulaiman Abdul Rahman Taib said that apart from catering to the needs of Malaysian investors, the new Islamic index was expected to draw new investors from the Gulf States, Europe and the United States to Malaysia and other Asian markets. "The new index will complement the KLSE Shari'ah Index," he said.

Stocks that are excluded from the Islamic index are those of companies that deal in alcohol and tobacco products, pork-related products, financial services, the defense and weaponry sector, and entertainment.

Also excluded are companies whose total debt divided by trailing 12-month average market capitalization is 33% or more; those whose cash plus interest-bearing securities divided by trailing 12-month average market capitalization is 33% or more; and those whose accounts receivables divided by trailing 12-month average market capitalization is 33% or more.

A total of 45 companies are currently included in the Dow Jones-RHB Islamic Malaysia Index.

Members of the Dow Jones Shari'ah Supervisory Board are: Shaykh Nizam Yaquby, Bahrain; Sheikh Dr. Mohd Daud Baker, Malaysia; Shaykh Justice Muhammad Taqi Usmani, Pakistan; Shaykh Dr. Mohamed A. Elgari, Saudi Arabia; Shaykh Abdul Sattar Abu Ghuddah, Syria; Shaykh Yusuf Talal DeLorenzo, U.S.

DOW JONES INDEXES GRANTED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST ISE AND OCC

New York, May 27, 2005 – Dow Jones Indexes was granted an extension of a Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO") against the International Securities Exchange ("ISE") and the Options Clearing Corporation ("OCC") by the Federal District Court of the Southern District of New York this morning. Dow Jones Indexes sought the TRO to prevent the ISE from listing and trading options on DIAMONDS, a unit investment trust that holds equity securities comprising the Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DIAMONDS"), and the OCC from clearing such options, without a license.

Dow Jones Indexes took legal action "to enjoin the ISE and OCC from engaging in this threatened unlawful act to capitalize on the intellectual property and trademark rights of Dow Jones." The ISE's trading of DIAMONDS options would also have undermined Dow Jones Indexes' exclusive licensing relationship with the Chicago Board Options Exchange ("CBOE") for this product.

Dow Jones Indexes was first granted a TRO on Tuesday that was extended after a further hearing by the Court today pending the Court's final determination on the application for a TRO.

"Dow Jones Indexes will defend its intellectual property rights vigorously. We are satisfied with the outcome of the TRO proceedings and we are optimistic that final resolution of this matter will result in the Court's recognition and defense of the intellectual property rights of index providers to require licenses for options on ETF's" said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes.

DOW JONES INDEXES TO LAUNCH INDEX-TRACKING AUSTRALIAN REAL-ESTATE MARKET

NEW YORK and SYDNEY, Australia, May 24, 2005 – Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today launched the Dow Jones Australia LPT Index, which tracks the performance of the Listed Property Trust (LPT) securities traded on the Australian Stock Exchange. The index was developed in conjunction with the Sydney Futures Exchange (SFE) and Atchison Consultants, a property asset consultancy firm.

Responding to market demand from Australian investors for a comprehensive, dedicated LPT tool based on rules and a clear methodology, SFE licensed the Dow Jones Australia LPT Index as the underlying for its LPT futures contract. The SFE Listed Property Trust Futures contract will be launched June 21, 2005.

"The Dow Jones Australia LPT Index provides investors with a transparent and objective tool to measure an investment class that has outperformed the major equity market indexes in recent years," said Lars Hamich, managing director of STOXX Ltd., the joint venture that is responsible for Dow Jones Indexes' business development in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. "The index was developed due to market demand from Australian investors for a comprehensive tool based on rules and a clear methodology."

Mr. Hamich continued, "The index is designed to underlie investment products, and will allow investors to participate in the performance of the Australian real-estate market. The Sydney Futures Exchange is providing an excellent platform to make this futures contract successful. We also expect additional market participants to issue trading and hedging tools based on the index."

"A survey of market participants indicated demand for an index providing efficient replication of the LPT sector using fewer constituent stocks, thereby minimizing transaction costs," said Ken Atchison, managing director of Atchison Consultants. "By incorporating these characteristics into the Dow Jones Australia LPT Index, Dow Jones Indexes and SFE have provided the prospect of a highly liquid futures contract."

With only 15 components at the present time, the Dow Jones Australian LPT Index represents 90% of the float-adjusted market capitalization of the Australian LPT universe. The index includes securities traded on the Australian Stock Exchange, which are classified as LPTs, according to the Industry Classification Benchmark—a global sector classification standard. This makes the Dow Jones Australia LPT Index an accurate measure of the Australian real-estate sector, while being a highly liquid and tradable underlying.

The Dow Jones Australia LPT Index is calculated both in U.S. and Australian dollars. Since its inception on Dec. 31, 2001, the index is up 14.24% (annualized total return), while the indexes float-market capitalization is US$57.5 billion (A$73.6 billion) as of April 29, 2005. It will be reviewed quarterly in March, June, September and December.

The full list of components, including weightings and values of the Dow Jones Australian LPT Index, is available on www.djindexes.com.

DOW JONES INDEXES TO LAUNCH INDEX FOR KUWAIT

NEW YORK/KUWAIT CITY, May 17, 2005 – Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today announced the launch of Dow Jones Kuwait Index, a composite equity index that will track the performance of the Kuwait stock market starting May 23, 2005. The index has been licensed to Industrial & Financial Investments Co. (IFIC)—one of the leading investment firms in Kuwait—to be used as the basis for index funds and index-related products.

The index is a full-market, capitalization-weighted index that will include 118 components. All companies included in the index are domiciled and headquartered in Kuwait—with a primary listing at the Kuwait Stock Exchange—and are available for trading. The index follows Dow Jones Indexes' transparent and rules-based index methodology.

The top five companies in the index are Public Warehousing Co. K.S.C., Mobile Telecommunications Co. (MTC) K.S.C., National Bank of Kuwait S.A.K., Kuwait Finance House K.S.C. and Gulf Bank of Kuwait K.S.C.

The index was created so that it could be used as underlying for financial products such as mutual funds, index funds, exchange-traded funds and other index-linked products that enable investors to participate in the performance of the Kuwait stock market.

"Kuwait is the first GCC market to be added to Dow Jones Indexes' suite of country indexes, and is among the largest stock markets in the GCC region—with a market capitalization of more than KD 26 billion ($89 billion)," said Lars Hamich, managing director of STOXX Ltd., the joint venture that is responsible for Dow Jones Indexes' business development in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. "With the Dow Jones Kuwait Index, we will provide an investable universe for national and international index trackers and active managers, a transparent index concept, and a methodology consistent with our rules-based global index family."

"The Kuwaiti stock market is one of the fastest-growing markets in the Middle East, and we strongly believe that emerging-markets money managers are missing a great economic opportunity by not allocating part of their portfolio to the area," said Mohammad Mohareb Al-Qahtany, assistant general manager of Industrial & Financial Investments Company. "In addition, the strong state of Kuwait's economy was reaffirmed by several ratings agencies including Fitch, which gave Kuwait a AA Country Ceiling rating. This places Kuwait on par with countries such as India, Cyprus, Hong Kong, Iceland, Slovenia and Taiwan."

The Dow Jones Kuwait Index, which is calculated in U.S. dollars (USD) and Kuwait Dinars (KD), is reviewed quarterly in March, June, September, and December. The components, weightings and daily closing values of the Dow Jones Kuwait Index are available on www.djindexes.com starting May 23, 2005.

(CBN), a leading professional financial-media company, today signed an agreement to create a series of sector blue-chip indexes based on the Dow Jones CBN China 600 Index. The launch date for these indexes is scheduled for June 2005.

The Dow Jones CBN China 600 Sector Blue-Chip indexes were created to measure the performance of the largest Chinese companies in each of the 18 Supersectors defined by the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB).

"The Dow Jones CBN China 600 Sector Blue-Chip Index will broaden and diversify our already existing index offering for China," said Lars Hamich, managing director of STOXX Ltd., the joint venture that is responsible for Dow Jones Indexes' business development in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. "The new Chinese sector Blue-Chip indexes will deepen the understanding of China as a financial market for national as well as global investors."

Mr. Hamich continued, "Dow Jones Indexes will license the Dow Jones CBN China 600 Sector Blue-Chip indexes to financial institutions as the basis for investment products which will offer investors the opportunity to participate in the performance of one of today's most dynamic markets."

"The series of Dow Jones-CBN China 600 Sector Blue-Chip indexes is another successful cooperative product between Dow Jones and China Business Network after the Dow Jones CBN China 600 Index," said Ruigang Li, chairman of CBN. "The launch of the index is a strategically significant step for CBN to enter into other industry arenas and develop derivative products."

He continued, "The cooperation marks CBN not only as a professional financial medium that provides real-time, accurate, and high-standard financial news and in-depth analysis to the global Chinese audiences, but also as a professional financial-information provider that offers the best information services."

The Dow Jones CBN China 600 Index, a co-branded index by Dow Jones Indexes and CBN, was launched in September 2004 and is based on the stock prices of the 600 largest companies listed at the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The Dow Jones CBN China 600 Index is part of the Dow Jones STOXX Global 1800/600 indexes series. The series comprises the Dow Jones STOXX 600 Index (Europe), the Dow Jones Americas 600 Index, the Dow Jones Asia/Pacific 600 Index and the Dow Jones STOXX Global 1800 Index, which is a composite of the three regional indexes.

About CBN
China Business Network (CBN), a flagship broadcaster of Shanghai Media Group (^SMG), was officially launched in August 2003, following a merge between the business channel of Shanghai TV Station and the business channel of East Radio Shanghai. The company is ready to reap the benefits of shared resources in staff, information and brand equity.

Besides strengthening its core competency, CBN also strives to consolidate its position as the first cross-regional, cross-media financial and business information provider in China. CBN established a strategic partnership with CNBC, which marked an historic breakthrough for Chinese TV entry into the world mainstream media arena. In another exclusive partnership with Dow Jones, CBN launched the Dow Jones CBN China 600 Index, which is an authoritative index covering both the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets. This further enhances CBN's reputation and position as a professional business and financial information provider with its comprehensive coverage of the Chinese stock markets.

STOXX LTD. LAUNCHES FIRST PAN-EUROPEAN SELECT DIVIDEND INDEXES

ZURICH, April 13, 2005 – STOXX Ltd., the leading European index provider, today launched the first pan-European select dividend indexes. The Dow Jones STOXX Select Dividend 30 Index—covering Europe—and the Dow Jones EURO STOXX Select Dividend 30 Index—covering the Eurozone—track the 30 highest dividend-paying stocks relative to their respective home markets.

These new indexes, which have already been licensed to Indexchange to be used as the underlying for exchange-traded funds, are based on the concept of the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index, and are integrated into the global Dow Jones Select Dividend index family.

"The Dow Jones STOXX Select Dividend 30 index and the Dow Jones EURO STOXX Select Dividend 30 index combine the main factors of the high-dividend investment concept: net dividend yield, based on a diversified pan-European universe and the leading domestic dividend-paying companies," said Lars Hamich, managing director, STOXX Ltd. "Not only are the companies selected on the basis of dividend criteria, the weighting of the companies in the index is purely based on dividends. These factors make this index family unique and innovative. The size of a company doesn't determine its importance within the index—only the dividend yield does."

The index universe is defined as all dividend-paying companies in the Dow Jones STOXX 600 for the Dow Jones STOXX Select Dividend 30 index and in the Dow Jones Euro STOXX for the Dow Jones EURO STOXX Select Dividend 30 index, respectively. In addition, these companies need to have a five-year, non-negative, dividend-per-share growth rate, and a dividend-to-earnings-per-share ration that is less than or equal to 60%.

The selection process of these new select dividend indexes is rule-based and is targeted to identify the leading domestic dividend paying companies.

Index components are weighted by their indicated annual net dividend yield. The largest dividend yielding companies have the highest weight in the index. Individual component weightings are capped at 15%.

The Dow Jones STOXX Select Dividend 30 and the Dow Jones EURO STOXX Select Dividend 30 indexes are reviewed annually in December. Index data for both indexes is distributed on a real-time basis through major market-data vendors. Historical data is available back to Dec. 31, 1998, with a base value of 1000.

The full lists of components—including weightings and values of the Dow Jones STOXX Select Dividend 30 and the Dow Jones EURO STOXX Select Dividend 30 indexes—are available at www.stoxx.com.

DOW JONES INDEXES TO LAUNCH FIRST TARGET DATE INDEX SERIES

License Granted to State Street Global Advisors for
Dow Jones Target Date Funds.

NEW YORK, March 31, 2005 – Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, announced that it will launch tomorrow, April 1, a series of indexes designed as benchmarks for balanced and multiasset-class portfolios with risk profiles that become more conservative over time. The Dow Jones Target Date Indexes and Dow Jones US Target Date Indexes each comprise 10 indexes with "target dates" set at five-year intervals out to 45 years.

The global index series has been licensed to State Street Global Advisors, the world's largest institutional fund manager, who relaunched an existing series of portfolios as target retirement date funds on March 1, 2005. The funds will use the global Dow Jones Target Date Indexes as a benchmark. The Dow Jones Target Today, Dow Jones Target 2015, Dow Jones Target 2025, Dow Jones Target 2035 and Dow Jones Target 2045 funds provide a simpler solution for employee investments with a set-it-and-forget-it investment approach that gradually grows more conservative as the target year indicated in the fund's title approaches.

With an established 10-year track record, SSgA's Target Date fund series seeks to deliver consistent, risk-adjusted returns through a multiasset-class investment strategy diversified across equities, fixed income and cash.

"Time-based investment programs, such as target-date or retirement-date mutual funds, have grown in popularity and invested assets recently," said Ridgely Walters, senior director of client development and sales at Dow Jones Indexes. "The Dow Jones Target Date Indexes are the first total portfolio indexes utilizing this investment approach—available to investors and product manufacturers to meet their need for an appropriate and authoritative benchmark."

"Until the launch of the Dow Jones Target Date Indexes, no other index provider offered a standardized and transparent target-date benchmark against which defined contribution recordkeepers, plan sponsors and investors could measure a manager's investment performance," said Michael Dalis, director of Institutional Sub-Advisory Services at State Street Global Advisors. "The SSgA Target Date funds series uniquely combines access to these well-constructed benchmarks, globally diversified portfolios and a cost structure designed to appeal to both plan sponsors and their recordkeepers."

Each Dow Jones Target Date Index allocates among stocks, bonds and cash on a monthly basis to hit predefined relative risk levels. The global index series includes nine Dow Jones equity indexes, four Lehman bond indexes, the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index, Lehman Brothers Corporate Bond Index, Lehman Brothers Mortgage Bond Index and Lehman Brothers Majors (ex U.S.) Index and the Lehman one-to-three months T-bill index as the cash component. The U.S. target index series consists of six Dow Jones equity indexes, three Lehman bond indexes and the Lehman one-to-three months T-bill index.

Over the life of each Dow Jones Target Date Index, the relative risk of the index ranges from 90% of the risk of the global equity market at its most aggressive point, to 20% of the global equity markets risk at its most conservative point—when the index reaches its target date. At this point, each index will convert into the Dow Jones Today index, with a constant 20% relative risk exposure.

The methodology, as well as a full list of components including weightings and values of the Dow Jones Target Date Indexes, will be available tomorrow, April 1, at www.djindexes.com.

EXPANSION OF MARKET COVERAGE DOW JONES REIT COMPOSITE INDEX

NEW YORK, March 24, 2005 – Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today announced that it has expanded the market coverage of the Dow Jones REIT Composite Index from its previous 95% market coverage to include the float-adjusted market capitalization of all publicly traded U.S. REITs.

The Dow Jones REIT Composite Index comprises all publicly traded companies in the Dow Jones U.S. stock universe that have elected to be taxed as REITs. The expansion is effective as of the close of trading on March 18, 2005.

The companies listed in the Dow Jones REIT Composite Index will continue to be classified according to the REIT Industry Classification hierarchy, which was introduced on December 17, 2004. This classification system is designed specifically to meet the needs of REIT analysts and investors since all REITs are classified into one of three categories: equity, mortgage or hybrid. Equity REITs own and operate income-producing real estate; Mortgage REITs lend money directly to real estate owners and/or operators or indirectly through the purchase of mortgages or mortgage-backed securities whereas companies classified as Hybrid participate in both Equity and Mortgage investing. Equity REITs are further classified by the type of properties they own, and Mortgage REITs are classified as either commercial or residential lenders.

"The expansion of the market coverage of the Dow Jones REIT Composite Index perfectly fits into Dow Jones Indexes' strategy to design its indexes in compliance with the market's requirements. REIT investors and analysts now not only profit from the sector-specific classification of the index components, but they also get an insight into the float-adjusted market capitalization of all publicly traded U.S. REITs," said John Prestbo, editor of Dow Jones Indexes.

Routine shares and float updates to the index are made after the close of trading on the third Friday of March, June, September, and December. A detailed methodology description of the index is posted on the Dow Jones Indexes website at http://www.djindexes.com.

Key index data, including price and total return performance for each REIT sector, will also be published by the Dow Jones REIT Investor newsletter beginning on March 28, 2005. The REIT Investor is published each Monday morning and is distributed by email.

COMPONENT CHANGE MADE TO DOW JONES CHINA INDEXE

Changes Are a Result of A Regular Quarterly Review of the Index

BEIJING, March 24, 2005 – Dow Jones Indexes today announced the results of the first regular quarterly review in 2005 for Dow Jones China Indexes (Dow-China Indexes).

Following the adjustment, six components have been replaced in the Dow-China 88, which tracks the largest and most liquid 88 stocks in China's Class-A market and reflects roughly 33.77% of the total float market capitalization of both the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets. The number of Shanghai-listed stocks in the Dow-China 88 remains 58 components, while the number of Shenzhen-listed stocks remains 30 components. Shanghai-listed stocks represent 70.14% of the free float market capitalization of the Dow-China 88, compared to 29.86% for Shenzhen-listed components.

On April 1, the components of the Dow-China Total Market will increase to 1163 from 1150, with 1094 A-shares and 69 B-shares. The number of components in the Dow-Shanghai Index will increase to 709 from 700, with ten additions and one deletion, while the number of components in the Dow-Shenzhen index will increase to 454 from 450, with five additions and one deletion. The Dow-Shanghai index represents roughly 95% of the free float market capitalization of Shanghai market, and the Dow-Shenzhen index represents roughly 95% of the free float market capitalization of Shenzhen market. The Dow-China Total Market Index reflects roughly 95% percent of the free float market capitalization for both the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets.

Dow Jones Indexes completed the third regular quarterly review for the Dow Jones CBN China 600 Index, which was launched on September 6, 2004. As a result of this regular review 20 components have been replaced in the DJ-CBN 600 Index, which reflects roughly 80% of China's total free float market capitalization.

Float-adjusted shares, which exclude all state-owned shares and unlisted employee shares, are used for stock selection and index calculation, in order to provide an accurate representation of the shares that are actually available to investors for trading. Dow Jones Indexes excludes block holdings of individuals, other companies or governments that exceed 5% of total market value in calculating free-float for selection of component stocks.

The Dow-China Indexes were launched May 27, 1996. Dow Jones & Company, a world-wide provider of business information, launched the Dow-China Indexes to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the world's most widely reported market indicator, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which was launched in 1896. All four indexes in the Dow-China Index series have a base value of 100 on Dec. 31, 1993.

The names in the underlying portfolio will be from Latin America, Eastern Europe/Africa and Asia. The index is equally weighted, giving 2.5% exposure to any single name, and is linked to the five-year CDS spreads of the underlying names. The new index supplements the existing Dow Jones CDX.EM index which was designed as a tradable index that replicates the EM debt market.

As in the investment grade and high yield markets, the member banks of CDS IndexCo are expected to create products based on the Dow Jones CDX.EM Diversified Index. Initially, market makers plan to offer standard tranches, thereby allowing investors to choose where on the risk-return spectrum they want to be located. This will also allow investors to isolate EM correlation as a tradable instrument and brings to the EM asset class the same innovations which drove the growth of the investment grade and high yield indexes.

Eleven firms have agreed to act as market makers for the new Dow Jones CDX.EM Diversified Index and include: ABN AMRO, Barclays, Bear Stearns, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and UBS.

DOW JONES INDEXES, MARKIT AND CDS INDEXCO SIGN AGREEMENT

London and New York, March 15, 2005 – Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, Markit Group Limited ("Markit"), the leading industry source for independent pricing and valuations, and CDS IndexCo, a consortium of sixteen investment banks, today announced that they have signed agreements governing the calculation, marketing and licensing of the Dow Jones CDX Indexes, the market-leading suite of North American and Emerging Market credit derivative indexes.

Under the terms of the separate agreements, Dow Jones Indexes has sole responsibility for branding and licensing the Dow Jones CDX Indexes, and assumes joint responsibility with CDS IndexCo for marketing the indexes. Dow Jones has approved the Dow Jones CDX Index methodology, and will continue to oversee and approve the creation of any new indexes. The Dow Jones CDX Index daily closing values will be available on both Dow Jones Indexes' website at www.djindexes.com and also on Markit's website www.markit.com.

Markit assumes sole responsibility for administering the Dow Jones CDX Indexes, which includes collecting source data, compiling, calculating and distributing the CDX daily closing values and publishing historical data on its website. Markit will act as advisor to CDS IndexCo on methodology, overseeing the index rolls, and is responsible for the day-to-day running of CDS IndexCo.

"Dow Jones Indexes brings an objective and rules-based approach to the credit derivative index business with the integrity that the market expects from a global index provider," said Kevin Pilarski, director of alternative strategies and derivatives at Dow Jones Indexes. "Since announcing the agreement, we have received tremendous interest from market participants in licensing the Dow Jones CDX Indexes to be used as underlying for investment products."

Kevin Gould, Executive Vice President of Markit said: "Markit is delighted to take on a pivotal role in the Dow Jones CDX Indexes. We bring to the table raw credit derivative knowledge, a depth of experience in data management and the skills to tackle the operational issues associated with credit index management. The role we play also dovetails nicely with the central role that our Reference Entity Database (RED) plays in ensuring the reference data in the indexes is both correct and market-standard."

The Dow Jones CDX Indexes were formed from the merger of the North American TRAC-X and iBoxx credit derivative indexes in April 2004. The creation of a single family of credit derivative indexes for North American and Emerging Market entities has enhanced the liquidity of the credit derivative market while providing a clear benchmark for credit investors.

The Dow Jones CDX family of credit derivative indexes are composed of corporate and sovereign entities domiciled in North America and Emerging Markets. Dow Jones CDX indexes include: Dow Jones CDX.NA.IG (Investment Grade), Dow Jones CDX.NA.IG.HVOL (High Volatility), Dow Jones CDX.NA.HY (High Yield), Dow Jones CDX.NA.HY.BB (High Yield, BB), Dow Jones CDX.NA.HY.B (High Yield, B), Dow Jones CDX.NA.HY Notes (High Yield Notes) and Dow Jones CDX.EM (Emerging Markets).

DOW JONES INDEXES TO LAUNCH SHARI'AH-COMPLIANT ISLAMIC INDEX FOR MALAYSIA

Dow Jones Indexes and RHB Research Institute Cooperate To Create Internationally Accepted Index That Attracts Investors From the Gulf Region.

DUBAI, March 15, 2005 – Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today announced that it will expand its Dow Jones Islamic Market Index series by adding the Dow Jones-RHB Islamic Malaysia Index. The new index, using Dow Jones Islamic Market methodology, will include Shari'ah-compliant equities traded at Bursa Malaysia. The Dow Jones-RHB Islamic Malaysia Index, which is scheduled to be launched in June 2005, will be developed jointly by Dow Jones Indexes and RHB Research Institute - an established licensed investment adviser in Malaysia with a proven track record in equities research.

"The index was developed in cooperation with RHB Research Institute to meet the growing demand for compliant equity indexes, and is based on internationally acknowledged Islamic finance standards," said Lars Hamich, managing director of STOXX Ltd., the joint venture responsible for Dow Jones Indexes' business development in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. "We are confident this Islamic index will be the bridge for Gulf, Europe and U.S. Shari'ah-compliant equity investors seeking compliant opportunities in Malaysia and the rest of Asia."

He continued, "The Dow Jones-RHB Islamic Malaysia Index will now allow investors to access a transparent, investable, Islamic-compliant universe of companies - with a rules-based index concept - and a methodology consistent with all indexes in our global and integrated Dow Jones Islamic Market family. The index concept is approved by our Shari'ah board, of which the leading Malaysian scholar - Dr. Daud Bakar - is a member."

The executive chairman of RHB Capital, Dato Sri Sulaiman Abdul Rahman Taib, said that the establishment of the new Islamic index with Dow Jones bodes well for the development of the Islamic financial and capital market. "This also marks another milestone in our efforts to enhance Islamic financial services to the investing community," he added.

RHB Research Institute is part of RHB Capital Group, a major financial-services group in Malaysia that provides both conventional and Islamic financial products and services in Malaysia as well as in Singapore, Thailand and Brunei. RHB Capital Group intends to offer new Islamic products and services based on the new Islamic index later this year.

Once it is launched, the new Islamic Index will replace the existing RHB Islamic Index - the first Malaysian Islamic index - established in May 1996. The Dow Jones-RHB Islamic Malaysia Index is designed to underlie investment products such as collective investment schemes, exchange-traded funds, structured products and derivatives targeted to Islamic investors world-wide.

The Dow Jones-RHB Islamic Malaysia Index follows a rules-based index methodology consistent with the Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes. Excluded from the indexes are stocks that represent the following lines of business: alcohol, tobacco, pork-related products, financial services, defense/weapons and entertainment. Also excluded are companies whose total debt dividend by trailing 12-month average market capitalization is greater than or equal to 33%, and those whose cash plus interest-bearing securities divided by trailing 12-month average market capitalization is greater than or equal to 33%. Additionally, companies whose accounts receivables divided by total assets is greater than or equal to 45% are excluded.

DOW JONES WILSHIRE ROLLS OUT U.S. STYLE INDEXES

Indexes Deliver Style Purity, Lower Turnover with a Transparent Methodology

NEW YORK, Mar. 14, 2005 – Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, and Wilshire Associates Incorporated, the world's leading investment consulting, investment management and investment technology firm, announced that beginning today the new Dow Jones Wilshire U.S. Style index benchmarks are available real-time. The new index series covers five investment "styles" -- large-capitalization growth, large-cap value, small-cap growth, small-cap value and micro-caps -- reflecting the make-up of the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 index.

"The new Dow Jones Wilshire Style Indexes cover the entire U.S. market, rather than just part of it" said John A. Prestbo, Editor of Dow Jones Indexes. "Moreover, this comprehensive perspective is achieved with an easily understood set of rules that defines equity investing styles simply and cleanly," he added.

"We strongly believe that the Dow Jones Wilshire Style Indexes present the best benchmark option available and are ideal as the foundation for investable products," said Dennis Tito, founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Wilshire Associates. "By including micro-caps as a fifth style, we've ensured that the entire economic space is represented as a style universe with no artificial cut-offs of the market. We expect the industry will find this approach compelling given that in the past three years micro-cap stocks have seen an annualized performance of nearly 25 percent and many institutional investors are allocating more to this asset class."

The style indexes are the second phase of the Dow Jones Wilshire family of co-branded indexes that now includes a comprehensive set of U.S. indexes (broad-market, sector, size and style). A third phase will extend the Dow Jones Wilshire methodology internationally, thus providing in addition to the unique breadth the advantages of consistent global coverage with objective and transparent rules.

The Dow Jones Wilshire indexes are broad enough to include all stocks for attribution analysis with a merged methodology that is among the most sophisticated being used by index providers. Six factors are used for style classification -- some index providers use as few as one or two factors -- and Dow Jones Wilshire classifies each stock as wholly either growth or value to eliminate overlap that can allow for undesirable "style drift" in stock portfolios.

The six equally weighted factors that are used to classify growth and value are:

Two backward looking: five-year average earnings growth and sales growth
Two current: Price/Book value ratio and dividend yield
Two forward looking: forecasts of Price/Earnings ratios and long-term earnings growth

This rollout includes the real-time calculation of the following style indexes:

Ticker	Full Name
DWL	Dow Jones Wilshire U.S. Large-Cap Index
DWS	Dow Jones Wilshire U.S. Small-Cap Index
DW25	Dow Jones Wilshire 2500 Index
DWMI	Dow Jones Wilshire U.S. Micro-Cap Index
DWLG	Dow Jones Wilshire U.S. Large-Cap Growth Index
DWLV	Dow Jones Wilshire U.S. Large-Cap Value Index
DWSG	Dow Jones Wilshire U.S. Small-Cap Growth Index
DWSV	Dow Jones Wilshire U.S. Small-Cap Value Index

The Dow Jones Wilshire Indexes are available on market data vendor platforms, many in real-time format, and on the Dow Jones Indexes (www.djindexes.com) and Wilshire Associates (www.wilshire.com) Web sites. Style history is available back to June 1978. Dow Jones Indexes also distribute data related to the Dow Jones Wilshire Indexes to data vendors and other users.

DOW JONES INDEXES TO LAUNCH FIRST SELECT DIVIDEND INDEXES FOR THE MAJOR EUROPEAN MARKETS

NEW YORK, Feb. 28, 2005 – Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today announced it will launch a series of select dividend indexes that will track the performance of companies in the major European markets based on their dividend yield.

The eight new indexes, which will complement the Dow Jones US Select Dividend Index, will cover the following countries: France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The indexes will be launched at the end of the first quarter of 2005.

"The concept of the Dow Jones US Select Dividend Index has proven popular and extremely successful. Dividends have made a resurgence as an important ingredient in an investor's choice when choosing equities," said John Prestbo, editor, Dow Jones Indexes. "As a result, we have seen extraordinary demand for this type of index from market participants outside the United States. Now, for the first time, investors will be able to track high-dividend-yielding companies for some of Europe's most important markets. We also expect a lot of interest from institutions seeking to license these indexes as the basis of financial products."

The Dow Jones US Select Dividend Index was launched in November 2003 in response to increased interest by U.S. investors in companies issuing dividends partly because of the introduction of lower U.S. tax rates on this income stream. The index, weighted by dividend yield, measures the performance of 100 stocks selected according to yield, a track record of maintaining or increasing dividends over the prior five-year period and the capability of susta
