Congressman Charles B. Rangel recognizes 10th anniversary of Dow Jones Indexes:
“A leading authority in the global financial markets”

New York (December 17, 2007)—Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today announced that it has been recognized by the chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means for its accomplishments and contributions to the indexing industry over the past decade.

            Congressman Charles B. Rangel honored Dow Jones Indexes before the House of Representatives while in session last Friday. His remarks were entered into the Congressional Record, the official record of the proceedings and debates of the United States Congress.

            “Congressman Rangel’s speech is a special tribute to the talent, hard work and dedication of our team, without whose individual efforts we would not be in a leading position today. This is a perfect ending to what has already been a tremendous year for Dow Jones Indexes. We have had a successful 10 years of creating innovative, cutting-edge indexes and look forward to launching many more in the years to come.” said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes.

            Over the past 10 years, Dow Jones Indexes has grown to become much more than a leading provider of the world’s indexes and benchmarks.  It has become a house-hold name, synonymous with investing, innovation, and globalization, through the countless indexes launched over that period.  Through partnerships with Wilshire Associates, AIG Financial Products Corp., and STOXX Limited -- a joint venture of Dow Jones & Company, Deutsche Boerse and SWX Group -- Dow Jones Indexes has been able to provide investors with unprecedented investment access to the world’s growing markets.

Some major indexes include:

• Dow Jones Wilshire Global Index Family
• Dow Jones STOXX Indexes
• Dow Jones —AIG Commodity Indexes
• Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes
• Dow Jones and Dow Jones STOXX Select Dividend Indexes
• Dow Jones and Dow Jones STOXX Sustainability Indexes
• Dow Jones Target Date and Balanced Portfolio Indexes

On 12/14/07 in the Congressional Record, submitted by Ways and Means Committee Chairman, Congressman Charles B. Rangel:

Madame Speaker:

Today, I would like to recognize an important anniversary in the financial world and at the same time remember a valued colleague. Today is the tenth anniversary of Dow Jones Indexes, an innovation that has made the inner workings of the capital markets more understandable and more accessible to investors. Other Members will no doubt recall that our colleague Guy Vander Jagt represented the company after he left Congress and began his work with Baker & Hostetler here in Washington. Sadly, we lost our former member from Michigan to cancer earlier this year; however, we will always remember his friendship, honesty, and integrity that served his Michigan constituents---and later his clients---so well.

Guy Vander Jagt and Dow Jones were a good match. For over a century the name of the Dow Jones & Company has been linked with integrity and business investment in America. Much like other words that have entered the America lexicon in everyday use, "Dow Jones" means stocks and their value on Wall Street to virtually every American. It is remarkable that the Dow Jones Industrial Average is the oldest continuing stock market index in the world. However, over the past 10 years of serving the American people, Dow Jones Indexes has grown far beyond just the time-honored DJ Industrial Average to become a leading authority in the global financial markets, researching, launching and supporting a staggering 130,000 indexes, tracking equity markets and other asset classes around the globe.

For example, The Dow Jones Wilshire Indexes are benchmarks for the entire institutional investing community – affecting the retirement plans of Americans across the land. The Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Indexes and the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes are just two more examples of more specialized Dow Jones indexes that have changed the way the world views these markets. Through expansion and innovation in financial markets, the Dow Jones Indexes have continued to serve as a linchpin of the American financial industry. Indeed, across America, and around the world, their innovations have changed the very landscape of investing and the financial community. Today, over $2.1 trillion of assets -- from millions of investors worldwide -- are linked to indexes published by Dow Jones Indexes and STOXX, its joint venture in Europe that is co-owned with Deutsche Borse and SWX, the Swiss Exchange.

Through its growth, Dow Jones Indexes has helped to build awareness and drive the adoption of index-based products as an important investment category, a trend that is widely viewed to benefit investors by offering them diversified, transparent and low-cost investment alternatives. The indexes additionally offer investors tools with which they can appropriately evaluate their portfolio's performance, no matter what its composition.

It is with this background that we wish to recognize the Tenth Anniversary of Dow Jones Indexes and their service to the American people. I would like to recognize John A. Prestbo, one of the first recipients of the William F. Sharpe Indexing Lifetime Achievement Award, which recognizes the most accomplished innovators and practitioners in the indexing industry. He was awarded this prestigious honor for serving as the long time Editor and now Executive Director of the Indexes group within Dow Jones. Along with the stewardship of Michael Petronella, the group president and over 200 dedicated employees, they continue to innovate and grow and strengthen the vast family of Dow Jones Indexes, and with that growth they have helped to serve, enhance, and protect the dreams of millions upon millions of Americans who are planning their own financial futures

John Prestbo to be honored at 12th annual Superbowl of Indexing in December

New York (December 3, 2007)—Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today announced that John Prestbo, editor and executive director, has been named a recipient of the 2007 William F. Sharpe Indexing Lifetime Achievement Award. The award recognizes the most accomplished innovators and practitioners in the indexing industry.
The award will be presented today at the 12th annual Superbowl of Indexing in Phoenix, Ariz.

John Prestbo may be best known for his role as one of the ‘keepers of The Dow,’ but he is truly the academic brain behind the successful development and launch of thousands of indexes. He has served as a dedicated, insightful and passionate leader as well as a personal friend throughout his years at Dow Jones Indexes and has built a core leadership team of market experts. It is especially fitting that he is being honored with a lifetime achievement award on the 10th anniversary of Dow Jones Indexes as an official business unit of Dow Jones & Company,” said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes.

“I’ve known John as a colleague and friend for more than 24 years, and it comes as no surprise that he is being recognized for his many career achievements. He was brilliant as reporter, commodities editor and markets editor of The Wall Street Journal in the 1970s and 1980s. He has an almost unique ability to grasp both the quantitative and the human dynamics of the markets, and the charisma to inspire those who work with him. Not only is he one of the leading index and market experts out there, but he is also a pleasure to work with,” said Paul E. Steiger, editor at large of The Wall Street Journal and a vice president of Dow Jones & Co. He retired from his 16-year post as managing editor of The Wall Street Journal in May 2007, but remains a member of the stock selection committee of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Mr. Prestbo has been involved in Dow Jones’ Index Group since its inception in 1997. He participated in the January 1993 launch of the Dow Jones World Stock Index, which has since been renamed the Dow Jones World Index. In April 1993 he became editor of the Index. In July 1996 the World Stock Index group was renamed Dow Jones Indexes and became an official commercialized business unit of Dow Jones & Company in 1997 when cash options and futures began trading on the Dow Jones Industrial Average at the Chicago Board Options Exchange and Chicago Board of Trade, now CME Group, respectively.

In his current position as editor and executive director, Mr. Prestbo oversees client support, public relations and marketing efforts and index research. He is chairman of the Dow Jones Index Oversight Committee. Mr. Prestbo also is responsible for the benchmarking initiative at Dow Jones Indexes. Until recently, he spearheaded the development of new indexes and the maintenance and production of existing indexes.
He is a member of the stock selection committee for the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Prior to his role at Dow Jones Indexes, Mr. Prestbo had a distinguished career at The Wall Street Journal. In 1964, Mr. Prestbo first joined The Wall Street Journal as a food, agriculture and commodities reporter in the Chicago bureau. He moved to New York in 1974 as an editor/writer for the page-one staff, and in 1975 he was named commodity news editor. In 1977, he became an assistant managing editor and bureau chief for the Journal in Cleveland. He was appointed vice president and editorial director of Dow Jones Radio 2 in 1981. He returned to The Wall Street Journal as markets editor in 1983.

Mr. Prestbo has co-authored or edited several books over the past 30 years.  The most recent was “The Market’s Measure,” an Illustrated History of America Told Through the Dow Jones Industrial Average, published by Dow Jones Indexes in 1999.

New York, December 3, 2007– The Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB), the joint classification system launched by Dow Jones Indexes and FTSE Group, today announced that they will be enhancing their four-tier industry classification system. ICB is a detailed and comprehensive structure for sector and industry analysis, facilitating the comparison of companies across four levels of classification and national boundaries.

Additions will be made to the supersector, sector and subsector levels, beginning with the elevation of real estate to the supersector level. Seven new subsectors will be added under real estate to include more detailed classification of REITs.  Additionally, ICB will recognize alternative power sources by adding an alternative energy sector under the oil & gas supersector.  These changes will be effective to the ICB system on March 1, 2008.
With the integration of the above enhancements, the structure will now be based on 10 industries, 19 supersectors, 41 sectors and 114 subsectors and offers broad, global coverage of over 50,000 companies and 55,000 securities.  Prior to the revisions, the ICB Structure included 10 industries, 18 supersectors, 39 sectors and 104 subsectors.
ICB’s changes to the classification of real estate companies will reflect the increasingly-recognized differences between real estate firms and financial services firms, and will provide more precise categorizations of real estate companies, particularly real estate investment trusts (REITs).  The real estate sector will be elevated to a supersector with a new hierarchy of real estate sectors and subsectors including real estate holding & development companies, real estate services, and REITs involved in: industrial & office, retail, residential, diversified properties, specialty properties, mortgage companies, and hotels & lodging.

Expansions to oil and gas are being made to reflect the changing energy market, specifically the proliferation of companies involved in alternative energy and alternative utilities.  The oil and gas industry group and supersector will be expanded to include an alternative energy sector with renewable energy equipment and alternative fuel subsectors. The electricity sector will now be separated into conventional electricity and alternative electricity subsectors and will continue to be classified under the utilities supersector.

ICB is now in use by major stock exchanges, data distributors, index providers, buy side and sell side institutions, custodians and media organizations globally. Global financial institutions have integrated ICB into their investment workflow and financial services, including NASDAQ, NYSE/Euronext, the London Stock Exchange, the Swiss Exchange, Aegon, the International Monetary Fund and the World Economic Forum, as well as media outlets including The Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, CNBC and Dow Jones Newswires.
James Cemprola, Managing Director, ICB commented, “The rapid adoption of ICB is a testament to the product’s comprehensive global coverage, which is increasingly becoming the industry standard.  Its balanced structure makes ICB attractive to financial institutions on the buy side, sell side, independent research, custodial banks and global distributors.”

This is the first time the index, which tracks the performance of the top 100 dividend-paying companies worldwide, will underlie an ETF. The Dow Jones Global Select Dividend Index was launched in October 2007.

“Demand for the Dow Jones and Dow Jones STOXX Select Dividend Indexes by the global investment community has grown substantially since we first launched the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index in 2003. To satisfy this demand we have expanded this innovative index family to track high -yielding stocks in North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific, the latest being the Dow Jones Global Select Dividend Index. To date there are 14 ETFs globally that are based on our widely popular select dividend index series,” said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes.

To be eligible for inclusion in the Dow Jones Global Select Dividend Index, a component must have a positive dividend growth rate over the past five years and a dividend-to-earnings-per-share ratio of less than or equal to 60% for U.S. and European companies and 80% for all other countries. Each stock also must have a minimum three-month daily average trading volume of $3 million USD.

Each company's weight in the Dow Jones Global Select Dividend Index is based on its indicated annual dividend yield. The indicated annual dividend yields for all components are totaled, and each component's weight is equal to its dividend yield contribution. The weight of individual components in the index is restricted to 10% in order to prevent the index from being dominated by a single high-dividend paying stock.

The Dow Jones Global Select Dividend Index is reviewed annually in December. Price and total return indexes are calculated in U.S. dollar. Daily historical index values are available back to December 31, 1998, with a base value set at 100.

The Dow Jones and Dow Jones STOXX Select Dividend Index series consists of the Dow Jones STOXX Select Dividend 30 Index, Dow Jones EURO STOXX Select Dividend 30 Index, Dow Jones STOXX NORDIC Select Dividend 20 Index, Dow Jones STOXX EU Enlarged Select Dividend 15 Index, Dow Jones STOXX Americas Select Dividend 40 Index, Dow Jones STOXX Asia/Pacific Select Dividend 30 Index, Dow Jones STOXX Global Select Dividend 100 Index, Dow Jones Select Dividend Indexes for Asia, Asia/Pacific and EPAC regions, as well as the following countries: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the U.K., the U.S., and the Dow Jones SWX Select Dividend 20 Index (Switzerland).

DOW JONES HIGH YIELD 10 INDEX TO UNDERLIE EXCHANGE-TRADED NOTE

Index implementing the “Dogs of the Dow” investment strategy, licensed to ELEMENTS, a new exchange-traded notes platform

New York (Nov. 8, 2007) — Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider today announced the Dow Jones High Yield 10 Total Return Index, a subset of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, has been licensed to ELEMENTSSM, a new exchange-traded notes platform. The Dogs of the Dow ELEMENTS is issued by Deutsche Bank and starts trading at the NYSE Arca today.

The Dow Jones High Yield Select 10 Total Return Index (Bloomberg symbol MUTR) measures the top ten companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average based on indicated annual dividend yield, a strategy commonly referred to as the “Dogs of the Dow” and which typically consists of holding these 10 Dow stocks for one year. Dividends are reinvested into the index and contribute to its overall level.

“Dow Jones Indexes adds transparency to the widely used “Dogs of the Dow” strategy by applying a consistent index methodology and publishing monthly watch lists,” said Michael A. Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes. “Licensing this unique index as the basis for an ETN will give market participants broad and easy access to the performance of the top yielding components in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.”

The Dow Jones High Yield 10 Total Return Index is calculated using an equal-dollar weighted methodology. That means that each component stock is initially given equal weight in the index in December, after the components have been selected, and are allowed to change over the course of the year based on fluctuations in the stock prices. A watch list for the indexes is published monthly to provide an indication of what stocks may be included in the Dow Jones High Yield Select 10 Total Return Index when

it is rebalanced at the end of the year. Dividend yield for each component is calculated based on updated indicated annual dividend data and the closing prices at the last trading day of the previous month.

Component list and index methodology is available on http:\\www.djindexes.com.

New York (October 17, 2007) – Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today launched the Dow Jones Global Select Dividend Index, which measures the performance of the 100 leading dividend-paying companies worldwide.

The Dow Jones Global Select Dividend Index is designed to underlie investment products, such as exchange-traded funds, mutual funds and other investment vehicles and further complements the Dow Jones and Dow Jones STOXX Select Dividend Indexes series.

“Interest in our innovative and highly successful select dividend index series for the U.S., the Euro zone, Europe and Asia is growing consistently. Our select dividend index series already underlies 17 exchange-traded funds globally,” said Michael A. Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes. “The Dow Jones Global Select Dividend Index enables market participants to take advantage of the returns of the top dividend yielding companies globally with components being weighted according to their dividend yield, not by their market capitalization.”

The weight of individual components in the new indexes is restricted to 10% in order to prevent the index from being dominated by a single high-dividend paying stocks.

The Dow Jones Global Select Dividend Index is reviewed annually in December. Price and total return indexes are calculated in U.S. dollar. Daily historical index values are available back to December 31, 1998, with a base value set at 100.
The Dow Jones and Dow Jones STOXX Select Dividend Indexes series is based on the concept of the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index, which was launched in November 2003 in response to the increased interest of U.S. investors in companies issuing dividends after lower U.S. tax rates on dividends were introduced.

“Sweat the Details” panel brings together industry expertise

NEW YORK (Oct. 2, 2007)—Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today announced the formation of an industry-wide pension fund management best practices panel to educate plan trustees regarding index benchmarking solutions. The goal is to properly elevate the understanding and measurement of portfolio risk and return incumbent to every pension fund fiduciary. Called "Sweat the Details," the panel includes experts in all areas of the pension fund arena chosen to appeal to a local constituency.

“Sweat the Details provides the rare kind of fiduciary education on investment due diligence that will prevent ‘sweating the litigation,’” said Robert D. Klausner, Esq., a principal of Klausner & Kaufman, P.A., a Plantation, Fla.-based law firm that specializes in representation of retirement and benefit systems.

“Choosing the right benchmark is crucial to exercising best practices for pension fund management. The goal should be to use the index that accurately measures the risk and return profile of your portfolio. Sweat the Details gives fiduciaries an opportunity to learn about appropriate benchmarking solutions through open, engaging dialogue.” said Lt. James Maloney, Board Member, The Policemen's Annuity & Benefit Fund of Chicago.

Ronnee Ades, senior director of institutional markets of Dow Jones Indexes, serves as the moderator. Dow Jones Indexes creates each panel to address local and national pension- related issues affecting a particular region.

Sweat the Details is scheduled to hold panel presentations in various cities across the country. The next presentations will be held in West Palm Beach, Fla. on Tuesday, October 9, and in Springfield, Ill. on Wednesday, October 10.

Morgan Stanley first to license index to underlie an investment product

New York(Sept. 26, 2007) —Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today announced the Barron’s 400 Index will serve as the basis of a structured note issued by Morgan Stanley. This is the first time the recently launched Barron’s 400 Index has been licensed to underlie an investment product.

Launched on Sept. 4, 2007, the Barron’s 400 Index tracks the performance of highly liquid U.S. stocks, highlighting America’s most promising companies as defined by fundamentals-related rules-based criteria. The index is a joint collaboration of Dow Jones Indexes and Barron’s, which are business units of Dow Jones & Company.

“The Barron’s 400 Index is a unique barometer of some of the most liquid and dynamic U.S. companies. We have already received a good deal of attention from the investment community and expect further interest in this innovative index offering.” said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes.

Kevin Woodruff, Morgan Stanley’s Head of North America Equity Derivatives, said, “Providing access to underliers like the Barron’s 400 Index highlights Morgan Stanley’s  commitment to delivering innovative ways for our clients to enhance their portfolio returns.”

To be eligible for inclusion, stocks are rated by fundamental criteria that measure companies’ profitability, cash flow and growth and value style characteristics. Fundamental analysis and rating of stocks is conducted by MarketGrader.com Corp., a research firm based in Coral Gables, Fla.

Stocks must then pass additional rules-based screens applied by Dow Jones Indexes: Securities must have a minimum float-adjusted market capitalization of $250 million USD, and at least 100 of the index’s 400 stocks must each have market capitalization of more than $3 billion USD. Companies must have reported quarterly or annual earnings results within six months prior to semi-annual reviews, and their stocks must have traded an average of at least $2 million daily for the preceding three months.

The top 400 stocks that meet these criteria are selected as components of the Barron’s 400 Index. Components are equal weighted and industries are capped at 20% of the index to ensure diversification. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are ineligible for inclusion.

The index is reviewed semi-annually in March and September. Estimated daily back-tested history is available back to December 31, 1997. Back-tested performance information is purely hypothetical and does not represent actual performance. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Index values are published daily on the Dow Jones Indexes Web site (http://djindexes.com) and on Barron’s Online (http://www.barrons.com).

Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes. “As commodities as an asset class continue to enjoy widespread popularity among investors, it is important to deliver innovative benchmarks with which market participants can gauge their commodities exposure.“

“Dow Jones and AIG–FP have a strong track record as innovators in developing new variations of the Dow Jones – AIG Commodity Index,“ said Joseph Cassano, President, AIG Financial Products Corp. “The commodity investment marketplace continues to develop and expand, and we believe the DJ–AIGCI will continue to serve as a premier and reliable benchmark for the commodities markets.“

The new sub–indexes will provide market participants with benchmarks to track commodity investments in longer–dated commodity futures. With the expansion of commodity futures markets in recent years, trading volume in further–dated contracts has generally increased.

The new Dow Jones – AIG Commodity Forward Indexes are constructed according to the rules of the DJ–AIGCI and utilize futures contracts with maturities falling later than the futures contracts comprising the standard DJ–AIGCI. For example, in September 2007 the DJ–AIG 3–Month Forward Crude Oil Sub–Index^SM includes those commodity futures contracts that are scheduled to be included in the standard DJ–AIG Crude Oil Sub–Index^SM in December. Excess and total return versions of each of the new sub–indexes are available.

The new sub–indexes join the 48 other DJ–AIGCI related indexes and sub–indexes calculated daily by Dow Jones Indexes and AIG Financial Products Corp. The DJ–AIG Commodity Index 1 Month Forward^SM, the DJ–AIG Commodity Index 2 Month Forward^SM, and the DJ–AIG Commodity Index 3 Month Forward^SM, which are the forward versions of the Dow Jones – AIG Commodity Index^SM, were launched in July 2006.

The Dow Jones–AIG Commodity Index, a diversified and highly liquid benchmark for the commodities markets, is composed of futures contracts on 19 physical commodities and was introduced in 1998. As of June 30, 2007, there was approximately $38 billion invested in financial products tracking the DJ–AIGCI on a global basis. Index methodology and futures contracts used to calculate the index are published in the DJ–AIGCI Handbook. The handbook can be requested via www.djindexes.com or www.aigfp.com.

PARIS (September 19, 2007) – The Dow Jones–AIG Commodity Total Return Indexsm is up 8.5% for this year, as of September 17, 2007. Leading commodity analysts provided their market outlook for the remainder of 2007 and for the beginning of 2008 this morning at the first Dow Jones Indexes – AIG Commodities Outlook in Paris.

Oil prices continue to be high
“Increasing global demand, supported by the acceleration in the pace of economic development of emerging markets, and constraints in supply – both in the upstream and the downstream sectors – have pushed the oil price up every year since 2003. As efforts to expand supply capacity lag global demand growth in 2008, we expect this trend to continue. NYMEX WTI closed above US$ 80/BBl for the first time on 13 September. Looking ahead, the market balance tips largely in favor of demand growth relative to non OPEC supply growth over the next six to nine months, notably next winter, when normal temperature patterns are assumed after two consecutive very mild seasons. This leaves OPEC’s marginal barrel to fill the gap, but it may not always be enough or on time. OPEC’s decision to increase its oil supply by only 500 kb/d at its 11 September regular meeting in Vienna is a case in point. As a result, we can expect the market in 2008 to continue to live with high oil prices”, said Harry Tchilinguirian, senior oil market analyst at BNP Paribas.

Metals prices will remain high and continue to heavily depend on Chinese metals supply–demand
“The huge growth of metals consumption in China, together with the country's lack of ores, created bullish market conditions for metals prices. Metals prices should remain high over the next two years regarding the ongoing favorable Chinese driver and time lags until new plants coming on stream. Afterwards, the visibility appears quite limited, metals prices continuing to heavily depend on Chinese metals supply–demand balances altogether with Chinese metals producers rationality. On the whole, metals prices, which are characterized by cyclicality and long term deflation, should be more in line with their "fundamental level" in the mid to long term”, said Patrice Magne, senior consulting engineer for industry and sector studies at Crédit Agricole SA.

Agricultural products to stay at high prices
“Increased demand for bio–fuels is causing fundamental changes to agricultural markets that could drive up world prices for many farm products. The recent hikes in farm commodity prices are explained in large measure by temporary factors such as droughts in wheat–growing regions and low stocks. In the longer term, structural changes are underway which could well maintain relatively high nominal prices for many agricultural products over the coming decade. The key driver is the growing use of cereals, sugar, oilseed and vegetable oils to produce the fossil fuel substitutes, ethanol and bio–diesel. This is underpinning crop prices and, indirectly through higher animal feed costs, also the prices for livestock products”, said Dr. Martin von Lampe, agricultural economist at the Organisation for Economic
