DOW JONES INDEXES ANNOUNCES CHANGE TO DOW JONES-AIG COMMODITY INDEXSM TARGET PERCENTAGE CALCULATION RULE TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN JANUARY 2007

NEW YORK (Dec. 21, 2006) – Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, announced a change to the rules for calculating the Dow Jones – AIG Commodity IndexSM (DJ–AIGCISM) Commodity Index Percentages. These changes were approved by the Dow Jones – AIG Commodity Index Oversight Committee.

A new step was added to the rules for the calculation of the Commodity Index Percentages set forth in Section 2.6 of the DJ–AIGCI Handbook. The purpose of this rule is to enhance the liquidity of the DJ–AIGCI by limiting the amount by which the final Commodity Index Percentages may exceed the weights determined using liquidity measurements alone. The details of this new rule are described in the DJ–AIGCI Handbook under Section 2.6, Step H, available for download at: http://www.djindexes.com/mdsidx/index.cfm?event=showAigRequest
The target weights to be implemented in January 2007, previously announced by Dow Jones Indexes, already satisfy the new rule. These target weights were approved by the Dow Jones–AIG Commodity Index Oversight Committee in July 2006 and are repeated below:
Natural Gas 12.546191%
Crude Oil 12.723561%
Unleaded Gas (RBOB) 3.940958%
Heating Oil 3.789289%
Live Cattle 6.141286%
Lean Hogs 3.013524%
Wheat 4.715495%
Corn 5.627129%
Soybeans 7.747790%
Soybean Oil 2.845646%
Aluminum 6.803820%
Copper 6.187758%
Zinc 2.798069%
Nickel 2.715318%
Gold 6.825901%
Silver 2.288179%
Sugar 3.122271%
Cotton 3.146094%
Coffee 3.021718%

These weights will be used to determine the Dow Jones–AIG Commodity Index Multipliers for 2007 on January 5, 2007. These multipliers, computed once a year, are factors used to express the percentage weights in U.S. dollar– Denominated terms when calculating the Index.

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 DJ–AIGCI is composed of futures contracts on 19 physical commodities. The DJ–AIGCI family of indexes includes nine sector sub–indexes, multiple forward month indexes, sub–indexes for each individual commodity in the original DJ–AIGCI, Euro–, Yen–, Swiss Franc–, and British Pound– Denominated versions of the Dow Jones–AIG Commodity Index, and the Dow Jones–AIG Commodity Spot IndexSM. Also available are total return versions of each of the excess return indexes and sub–indexes. Currently, there is an estimated $30 billion invested in financial products that track the Dow Jones–AIG Commodity Index on a global basis.

DOW JONES WILSHIRE GLOBAL exUS REAL ESTATE SECURITIES INDEXsm TO SERVE AS BASIS FOR NEW STATE STREET GLOBAL ADVISORS’ ETF

NEW YORK (Dec. 19, 2006) – Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, and Wilshire Associates Incorporated, a global leader in investment technology, investment consulting and investment management, today announced the Dow Jones Wilshire exUS Real Estate Securities Indexsm will serve as the basis for an exchangetraded fund, the streetTRACKS® DJ Wilshire International Real Estate ETF (Amex: RWX), which launched today on the American Stock Exchange. The net total return version of the index has been licensed to State Street Global Advisors ("State Street") and it is the first index in the Dow Jones Wilshire Global Real Estate Index sm suite licensed as an ETF.

The Dow Jones Wilshire Global exUS Real Estate Securities Indexes measure the performance of publicly traded global real estate securities outside the U.S. The net total return version is calculated by deducting each represented country’s local withholding tax rates on dividends. Total returns, net of taxes, also are calculated for the Dow Jones Wilshire Global Real Estate Securities Indexsm , Dow Jones Wilshire Global REIT Index sm and the Dow Jones Wilshire exUS REIT Indexsm.

"The Dow Jones Wilshire Global Real Estate Indexes provide institutional investors with broad, consistent measurement tools that accurately benchmark the returns of an investor’s real estate securities portfolio. State Street’s ETF based on the ‘net’ version–which excludes each country’s withholding tax rates in the index returns– allows investors to capture the performance of this increasingly popular asset class." said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes/Ventures.

Launched in March 2006, the Dow Jones Wilshire Global Real Estate Indexes measure the types of global real estate securities that represent the ownership and operation of commercial or residential real estate. These global indexes serve as a proxy for direct real estate investment by institutions. Because actual real estate holdings are bought and sold infrequently, indexing the "market value" of these holdings is slow and problematic, while pension plans and other institutions need a more reliable and regularly available benchmark.

The Dow Jones Wilshire Global Real Estate Indexes track real estate operating companies (REOCs) and real estate investment trusts (REITs) in 24 countries. The Dow Jones Wilshire Global REIT Index is a subset of the Dow Jones Wilshire Global Real Estate Securities Index and is comprised only of those REITs and REITlike securities in the larger index. While REITs dominate the publicly traded real estate securities market in the U.S., elsewhere in the world REOCs are in the majority. As governments worldwide seek to provide access to real estate investment, there will be more growth in the availability of REIT like vehicles.

To be included in the indexes, an operating company or REIT must be an equity owner and operator of commercial or residential real estate and must generate at least 75% of its revenue from such assets or operations. It also must meet minimum requirements for market capitalization and liquidity. Securities of certain types of companies, such as mortgage REITs, are excluded, as are companies with more than 25% of their assets in direct mortgage investments. The reason for this exclusion is that factors other than realestate supply and demand–such as interest rates–influence the market values of these companies.

About the Dow Jones Wilshire Index Family

The development of the global family of indexes in 2006 marks a new phase of the Dow JonesWilshire relationship. The affiliation began in 2004 when Dow Jones and Wilshire cobranded and marketed the Dow Jones Wilshire family of indexes. By extending the Dow Jones Wilshire methodology used in the U.S. internationally, the global indexes provide unprecedented breadth, consistent global coverage, and objective and transparent rules.

Dow Jones Wilshire indexes are available on marketdata vendor platforms – many in realtime format – and on the Dow Jones Indexes (www.djindexes.com) and Wilshire Associates (www.wilshire.com) Web sites. The Dow Jones Wilshire 5000sm Composite Index, the only true broad market index, is calculated and distributed by Dow Jones Indexes pursuant to an agreement between Dow Jones & Company and Wilshire Associates Incorporated. The Dow Jones Wilshire Global Total Market Index, the broadest measure of global equities, was launched in October 2006.

DOW JONES INDEXES ANNOUNCES ADJUSTMENT TO DOW JONES-AIG COMMODITY INDEXSM

CALCULATION RULE TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN JANUARY 2007

NEW YORK (Nov. 28, 2006) – Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider announced the following change to the calculation rules for the Dow Jones - AIG Commodity IndexSM (DJ-AIGCISM) to take effect in January 2007. This change was approved by the Dow Jones - AIG Commodity Index Oversight Committee.

In the event a market disruption event as defined in the DJ-AIGCI Handbook occurs during the "Hedge Roll Period" (the fifth through ninth DJ-AIGCI Business Days of each month) scheduled for January of each year affecting a commodity futures contract included in the Index, the rolling or rebalancing for that particular commodity futures contract will still occur over five DJ-AIGCI Business Days, but on those days on which no market disruption event occurs. The Hedge Roll Period in January, and the resulting rebalancing that is occurring, will be extended if necessary until the affected commodity futures contract finishes rolling.

Therefore, the amounts of a particular commodity future rolled or rebalanced in January will continue to be distributed over five DJ-AIGCI Business Days and will not, for example, “double-up” the day following a market disruption event.

The special calculations set forth in Appendix G to the DJ-AIGCI Handbook (that specifies the roll and/or rebalancing calculations in respect of any commodity future contract affected by a market disruption event) will continue to apply for every DJ-AIGCI Business Day following a market disruption event occurring in the January Hedge Roll Period until the extended Hedge Roll Period is complete.

This change affects only the rolling or rebalancing process in January, with no change to the rules for rolling futures contracts occurring in other monthly Hedge Roll Periods.

The target weights to be implemented in January 2007 published on July 28, 2006 are repeated below. These target weights were approved by the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index Oversight Committee in July 2006:

Natural Gas 12.546191%
Crude Oil 12.723561%
Unleaded Gas (RBOB) 3.940958%
Heating Oil 3.789289%
Live Cattle 6.141286%
Lean Hogs 3.013524%
Wheat 4.715495%
Corn 5.627129%
Soybeans 7.747790%
Soybean Oil 2.845646%
Aluminum 6.803820%
Copper 6.187758%
Zinc 2.798069%
Nickel 2.715318%
Gold 6.825901%
Silver 2.288179%
Sugar 3.122271%
Cotton 3.146094%
Coffee 3.021718%

These weights will be used to determine the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index Multipliers for 2007 on January 5, 2007. These multipliers, computed once a year, are factors used to express the percentage weights in U.S. dollar-denominated terms when calculating the index.

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 DJ-AIGCI is composed of futures contracts on 19 physical commodities. The DJ-AIGCI family of indexes includes nine sector sub-indexes, multiple forward month indexes, sub-indexes for each individual commodity in the original DJ-AIGCI, Euro-, Yen-, Swiss Franc-, and British Pound-denominated versions of the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index, and the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Spot IndexSM. Also available are total return versions of each of the excess return indexes and sub-indexes. Currently, there is an estimated $30 billion invested in financial products that track the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index on a global basis.

DOW JONES INDEXES FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST ISE TO PROTECT ITS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

NEW YORK (Nov. 15, 2006) – Dow Jones & Company, Inc., on behalf of its business unit Dow Jones Indexes (Dow Jones), has today filed a lawsuit in Illinois State Court in Cook County against the International Securities Exchange, LLC (ISE) and Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) to restrain the ISE from listing and trading options on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (ticker: DJX) without a license. Dow Jones is joined by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., on behalf of itself and its Standard & Poor’s division ("S&P") and the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Inc. (CBOE) as co-plaintiffs in the action. S&P seeks to prevent the ISE from listing and trading index options on the S&P 500 (ticker: SPX) Index without a license. Currently, both index options trade under licenses exclusively on CBOE.

In 1983, the Illinois Supreme Court, in the landmark case Board of Trade v. Dow Jones & Company, Inc. held Dow Jones and other index providers have the right to require anyone listing and trading derivatives on their proprietary indexes to obtain a license. But ISE recently has taken the position that it can list and trade options on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and presumably every other index offered by Dow Jones and other index providers, without a license. This is a direct assault on the intellectual property rights of index providers and the industry.

"Dow Jones maintains a proprietary interest in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and its other indexes that vests Dow Jones with the exclusive right to license use of those indexes for trading as the basis for financial products and the right to prevent exchanges from offering index-based financial products without its authorization, said Michael A. Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes. "Dow Jones Indexes will continue to take whatever steps are necessary to enforce its intellectual property rights in its indexes."

DOW JONES INDEXES LAUNCHES CANADIAN STYLE INDEXES TO SERVE AS DOMESTIC BENCHMARK

New growth and value indexes to underlie two exchange-traded funds

NEW YORK (Nov. 7, 2006) – Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today announced the launch of the Dow Jones Canada Select Growth Index and Dow Jones Canada Select Value Index. The new indexes have been licensed to Barclays Global Investors Canada to underlie two exchange-traded funds (ETFs) expected to start trading this Friday, November 10, 2006 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The Dow Jones Canada Select Style Indexes measure the performance of large- and mid-cap stocks listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange that exhibit either "growth" or “value” style characteristics. Unlike the existing Dow Jones Canada TopCap Growth and TopCap Value Indexes, which are available to non-Canadian investors, the new indexes are designed to serve as broad, investable benchmarks for domestic use.

"The Dow Jones Canada Select Style Indexes provide local investors with a broad benchmark of liquid stocks in the growth and value categories. BGI’s decision to license the new indexes for their ETFs makes it even easier for Canadian residents who use these investment principles to access these market segments." said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes/Ventures.

The Dow Jones Canada Select Style Indexes will include Canadian income trusts, which allow for only 49% of shares to be held by non-Canadian investors. To promote greater diversification, the weighting of each component of the Dow Jones Canada Select Growth and Select Value Indexes is capped at 10% of the respective index’s float-adjusted market capitalization.

The index universe for the Dow Jones Canada Select Growth and Dow Jones Canada Select Value indexes is defined as large- and mid-cap stocks—or stocks that reflect the top 90% of float-adjusted market capitalization-in the Dow Jones Canada Total Market Index, which seeks to capture 95% of the country’s float-adjusted market capitalization.

There are six style evaluation criteria used to determine whether a company should be classified as growth or value: projected price-to-earnings ratio (P/E), projected earnings growth, price-to-book ratio (P/B), dividend yield, trailing P/E and trailing earnings growth.

To be included in the indexes, stocks are ranked in each of the six categories and then undergo cluster analyses based on the six categories to create five clusters – strong growth, weak growth, strong value, weak value and neutral. Companies classified under the strong and weak growth categories become the components for the Dow Jones Canada Select Growth Index. Companies classified under the strong and weak value categories become the components of the Dow Jones Canada Select Value Index. Companies classified as neutral are excluded from the indexes.

As of October 31, 2006, there are 71 components in the Dow Jones Canada Select Growth Index and the top five companies by float-adjusted market capitalization are Suncor Energy (TSX: SU), Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (TSX: CNQ), Barrick Gold Corp. (TSX: ABX), Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (TSX: CM) and Canadian National Railway Co. (TSX: CNR). There are 110 stocks in the Dow Jones Canada Select Value Index and the top five companies by float-adjusted market capitalization are Royal Bank of Canada (TSX: RY), Manulife Financial Corp. (TMFC), Bank of Nova Scotia (TSX: BNS), Toronto-Dominion Bank (TSX: TD) and EnCana Corp. (TSX: ECA).

The Dow Jones Canada Select Style Indexes are available in price and total return versions and are calculated in both Canadian and U.S. dollars. The indexes are reviewed semi-an
