CHAIRMAN OF HOUSE COMMITTEE ON WAYS AND MEANS HONORS DOW JONES INDEXES BEFORE U.S. CONGRESS

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

Dow Jones Indexes Executive Director, Editor Receives William F. Sharpe Indexing Lifetime Achievement Award

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.

ICB Enhances Classification System with Real Estate Supersector and Alternative Energy Sector

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.”

DOW JONES GLOBAL SELECT DIVIDEND INDEX TO UNDERLIE AN EXCHANGE-TRADED FUND FOR THE FIRST TIME

New York (Nov. 27, 2007)—Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today announced the Dow Jones Global Select Dividend Index has been licensed to First Trust Portfolios L.P. to serve as the basis of an exchange-traded fund (ETF). The First Trust Dow Jones Global Select Dividend Index Fund begins trading today at the American Stock Exchange.

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 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

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.

DOW JONES INDEXES LAUNCHES GLOBAL SELECT DIVIDEND INDEX

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 index universe of the Dow Jones Global Select Dividend Index is defined as all component companies of the 24 developed-market country indexes in the Dow Jones Global Indexes (DJGI) family, which cover approximately 95% of their underlying market capitalization.

To be eligible for inclusion in the Dow Jones Global Select Dividend Index, a component must have a positive, historical, five-year dividend-per-share growth rate 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. The component must also 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 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.

The series consists of the Dow Jones STOXX Select Dividend 30 Index, the Dow Jones EURO STOXX Select Dividend 30 Index, the Dow Jones STOXX NORDIC Select Dividend 20 Index, the 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, the Dow Jones STOXX Global Select Dividend 100 Index, the Dow Jones Select Dividend Indexes for Asia, Asia/Pacific, Australia, Canada, EPAC, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the U.K. and the U.S. as well as the Dow Jones SWX Select Dividend 20 Index.

Components, weightings and performance figures for the Dow Jones Select Dividend Indexes can be found at www.djindexes.com.

DOW JONES INDEXES TO APPLY FAST ENTRY RULE FOR CHINA INDEX

NEW YORK (October 8, 2007) — Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today announced that the fast entry rule will be applied to the Dow Jones China 88 Index methodology, a blue-chip index measuring the performance of the largest and most liquid stocks traded on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges.

Effective with the open of trading today, October 8, 2007, Initial Public Offerings (IPO) ranked among the top 30 by free-float market capitalization based on the most recent selection list respectively will be added to the index two days after its IPO date to replace the lowest-ranked component. The change will reflect the performance of the Chinese stock market more accurately as an increasing number of red-chips, H shares and large IPOs are being listed at the China domestic market.

The Dow Jones China 88 Index is reviewed semi-annually, in March and September. All stocks are classified based upon the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB), a four-tier hierarchy that includes ten Industry Groups, 18 Supersectors, 39 Sectors and 104 Subgroups.

The Dow Jones China Indexes are designed to provide investors globally with accurate tools for measuring equity performance in China. Float-adjusted shares, which exclude all state-owned and unlisted employee shares, are used for stock selection and index calculation, in order to accurately reflect shares available to the public. Block holdings of individuals, other companies or governments that exceed 5% of total market value are also excluded.

The Dow Jones China 88, Dow Jones Shanghai and Dow Jones Shenzhen indexes were launched on May 27, 1996 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the world’s most widely quoted stock market indicator.

The methodology, as well as a full list of components, weightings and values of the Dow Jones China Indexes, is available at http://www.djchinaindexes.com

DOW JONES INDEXES REINFORCES COMMITMENT TO TRUSTEE EDUCATION WITH FORMATION OF PENSION PLAN BEST PRACTICES PANEL

“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.

BARRON’S 400 INDEX TO SERVE AS BASIS OF STRUCTURED NOTE

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).

DOW JONES INDEXES LAUNCHES SECTOR AND SINGLE COMMODITY 3–MONTH FORWARD INDEXES

Indexes will serve as benchmarks for exchange–traded financial instruments

NEW YORK (Sept. 25, 2007) – Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today launched 3–month forward versions of the Dow Jones – AIG Commodity Sector Sub-indexes and the Dow Jones – AIG Single Commodity Sub–Indexes. Dow Jones jointly markets the Dow Jones – AIG Commodity Index^SM (DJ–AIGCI^SM) with AIG Financial Products Corp. (AIG–FP), a leader in financial derivatives products and a wholly–owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. (AIG).

The new forward indexes have been licensed to ETF Securities Limited, a London–based provider of exchange–traded commodities (ETCs).

“The new Dow Jones – AIG Forward Sector and Single Commodity Sub–Indexes are designed to provide performance measurement of longer–dated futures contracts of individual commodities or by commodity sector,“ said Michael A. 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.

DOW JONES INDEXES – AIG COMMODITIES OUTLOOK MEDIA SUMMARY

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 Co–operation and Development (OECD).

Investor interest in index–linked commodity products remains strong
"Investors continue to utilize the commodities futures markets as tools for portfolio diversification, with increasing understanding of the value of blending together different asset classes. In addition, the growing availability of products tracking commodities on a global basis has opened up this asset class to increasing numbers of investors. The Dow Jones – AIG Commodity Index continues to serve as a useful benchmark, with an estimated US$38 billion tracking the Dow Jones – AIG group of commodity indexes on a global basis as of the end of the second quarter", said Amos Benaroch, managing director at Banque AIG.

The Dow Jones–AIG Commodity Indexsm, 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 Dow Jones – AIG Commodity Indexsm 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.

The Barron’s 400 Index is a joint collaboration of Dow Jones Indexes and Barron’s, which are business units of Dow Jones & Company. Dow Jones Indexes intends to license the new index to underlie financial products such as mutual funds, exchange–traded funds and other investment vehicles. For Barron’s, the new index will provide additional subject matter for articles and analysis in the print publication and on Barron’s Online (http://www.barrons.com).

“The Barron’s 400 Index is the result of successful cooperation and teamwork between Dow Jones business units. We’ve combined our 10 years of proven expertise in building innovative, rules–based indexes with Barron’s excellent reputation as a trusted source of financial news and analysis to deliver this unique, leading–edge stock market indicator to the investment community,” said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes.
"The Barron's 400 relies on many of the barometers used by our writers in evaluating companies, and we feel that will help make it a highly successful index for market participants," said Ed Finn, president and editor of Barron's.

The index will be prominently featured at the top right of the Barron's Online homepage, along with other key market indexes. The site will also have a section, accessible from the homepage of Barron's Online, that includes more details about the index's performance and components.

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.

As of August 31, 2007, the estimated Barron’s 400 Index, based on back–tested data, is up 221.04% since its inception on December 31, 1997, while the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 is up 59.25% in the same time period.

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

DOW JONES – AIG COMMODITY INDEX TO UNDERLIE EXCHANGE–TRADED FUND

New York (August 21, 2007)—Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today announced the Dow Jones – AIG Commodity Index^SM has been licensed to INDEXCHANGE Investment AG to serve as the underlying for an exchange–traded fund (ETF). The Dow Jones – AIG Commodity SwapEX launched today on the XTF segment of Deutsche Börse.

“We have seen continued interest in our commodity indexes from market participants globally. The benefit of the Dow Jones – AIG Commodity Index is its superior methodology, diversification and commodity weighting. 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,” said Michael A. Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes. “Licensing the Dow Jones – AIG Commodity Index as the basis of an ETF allows market participants to add 19 commodity futures to their portfolios through one single measure.”

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 Dow Jones – 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.

The index is designed to minimize concentration in any one commodity or sector. No one commodity can comprise less than 2% or more than 15% of the index, and no sector can represent more than 33% of the index as of the annual re–weightings of the index.

The weightings for each commodity included in the Dow Jones – AIG Commodity Index are calculated in accordance with rules that ensure that the relative pro–portion of each of the underlying individual commodities reflects its global economic significance and market liquidity. Annual rebalancing and re–weighting ensure that diversity is maintained over time.

The Dow Jones – AIG Commodity index family includes nine sector sub–indexes, multiple forward month indexes, indexes for each individual commodity in the original index, Euro–, Yen–, Sterling–, and Swiss Franc–denominated versions of the Dow Jones–AIG Commodity Index, and the Dow Jones – AIG Commodity Spot Index. Also available are total return versions of each of the excess return indexes and sub–indexes. There is an estimated $38 billion invested in financial products that track the Dow Jones – AIG Commodity Index on a global basis.

As of August 17, 2007, the Dow Jones–AIG Commodity Index had a cumulative return of 139,69% since its introduction on July 14, 1998.

Estimated historical data for the Dow Jones – AIG Commodity Index is available back to December 31, 1990.

Further information on the Dow Jones – AIG Commodity Index can be found at www.djindexes.com.

HEALTH CARE REITS TO BE ADDED TO DOW JONES WILSHIRE GLOBAL REAL ESTATE INDEXES

New York (August 13, 2007) — Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, and Wilshire Associates, a global leader in investment technology, investment consulting and investment management, announced today that health care REITs will be added to the Dow Jones Wilshire Global Real Estate^SM and Dow Jones Wilshire Global Real Estate Securities Index^SM. The change will become effective in September and applies to the U.S. versions of the indexes as well.

To be added, a health care REIT must meet the Indexes’ minimum market capitalization requirement (US$200 million) and derive more than 75% of its revenues from the ownership of income–producing real estate.

Dow Jones Indexes and Wilshire Associates agreed to the rules change allowing health care REITs into the Indexes at this time because these REITs perform more like other equity REITs than like health care stocks. When the Dow Jones Wilshire Real Estate Indexes were being developed in 1990–91, health care REITs were greatly influenced by trends and developments in the health care industry, and were less affected by trends in the real–estate market. Therefore they were deemed ineligible for the Indexes. Today, by contrast, health care REITs are generally perceived as investors in real, somewhat specialized properties, rather than as adjuncts to the delivery of health care services and thus their performance is affected more by trends in the real–estate market than health care field.

The rules change allowing these additions will become effective at the September 2007 quarterly shares and float review. Preliminary component changes that result from the quarterly review will be pre–announced after the close of trading on Friday, September 7, and will become effective after the close of trading on Friday, September 21, 2007.

About the Dow Jones Wilshire Index Family

The Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Index^SM is the primary domestic component of the Dow Jones Wilshire Global Total Market Index^SM and a cornerstone of the Dow Jones Wilshire Global Index Family. The development of the global family of indexes in 2006 marked a new phase of the Dow Jones Wilshire relationship. The affiliation began in 2004 when Dow Jones Indexes and Wilshire co–branded 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 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. The Dow Jones Wilshire 5000^SM 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 EXPANDS RECOVERED PAPERS INDEXES

Index series to serve as leading price gauges for corrugated paper industry

NEW YORK (Aug. 9, 2007) — Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today announced the launch of seven Dow Jones Recovered Papers Indexes, one for each U.S. region that participates in physical transactions of OCC #11 grade corrugated paper. The Dow Jones Midwest OCC #11 Index, the first index in the series, was launched in February 2006.

The new indexes are the Dow Jones New England OCC #11 Index, Dow Jones Southeast OCC #11 Index, Dow Jones Mid–Atlantic OCC #11 Index, Dow Jones Southwest OCC #11 Index, Dow Jones Pacific Northwest OCC #11 Index, Dow Jones Northern California OCC #11 Index and Dow Jones Southern California OCC #11 Index.

The Dow Jones Recovered Papers Index series is designed to serve as benchmarks for market participants in the recovered paper industry to research and assess price risks and to settle contracts. OCC #11 is the most widely traded commodity in the recovered paper industry.

“The Dow Jones Recovered Papers Index series provide industry participants with the most accurate and independent pricing information available needed to make appropriate risk and price assessments. The advantage of these indexes is that they average out wholesale monthly transactions, which is a more precise reflection of market activity. The Dow Jones Midwest OCC #11 Index has gained wide industry acceptance since its February 2006 launch, and we expect the complete index suite will serve as the leading benchmarks for this important niche,” said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes. “We plan to further expand our index offerings for other paper grades in the future.”

The Dow Jones Recovered Papers Indexes are volume–weighted measures of monthly transactions of OCC #11 – a grade of recycled paper – that occur in each of eight U.S. regions. Participants provide Dow Jones Indexes with the price and volume information used to calculate the index. Both parties sign confidential disclosure agreements with audit provisions before the data is used. This process ensures the accuracy and privacy of information submitted.

The indexes were created through the consultation of the Dow Jones Recovered Papers Index Advisory Board, whose members include leaders in the paper, recycling and financial industries. The Board’s role is to ensure that the index’s methodology and calculation reflect the needs and demands of the industry.

The Dow Jones Recovered Papers Indexes joins an expanding family of transaction–based benchmarks, which currently include the Dow Jones U.S. Electricity Indexes, Dow Jones Steel Indexes and Dow Jones European Energy Indexes.

The Dow Jones Recovered Papers Indexes will be available on the 6th business day of the month on the Dow Jones Indexes (http://djindexes.com) and Dow Jones Newswires (http://dowjonesnews.com) Web sites. The indexes also will be distributed directly by Dow Jones Indexes via electronic subscription.

DOW JONES & COMPANY AND NEWS CORPORATION ENTER INTO DEFINITIVE MERGER AGREEMENT

Bancroft Family Members Holding Approximately 37% of Dow Jones' Voting Power Agree to Support the Transaction

NEW YORK (Aug. 1, 2007) — Dow Jones & Company (NYSE: DJ) and News Corporation (NYSE: NWS, NWS.A; ASX: NWS, NWSLV) announced today that they have signed a definitive merger agreement under which News Corporation will acquire Dow Jones in a transaction valued at approximately $5.6 billion.

Under the terms of the agreement, which was approved by both companies' boards of directors, Dow Jones stockholders will be entitled to receive $60 in cash for each share of common stock and Class B common stock that they own. Certain members of the Bancroft family and the trustees of trusts for their benefit who collectively own approximately 37% of Dow Jones' voting stock have agreed to vote to approve the transaction. In addition, the parties have agreed on the terms of an editorial agreement that provides for the establishment of a five-member, special committee with the objective of assuring the continued journalistic and editorial integrity and independence of Dow Jones' publications and services. The initial members of the special committee will be Louis Boccardi, Thomas Bray, Jennifer Dunn, Jack Fuller and Nicholas Negroponte.

The merger agreement provides that up to 250 holders of record and not more than 10% of the shares of Dow Jones may elect to have their shares of Dow Jones equity converted into a number of Class B units of Newco LLC, a newly formed subsidiary of News Corporation (each unit of which will be exchangeable for one share of Class A common stock of News Corporation in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Newco LLC operating agreement). The number of Class B units of Newco LLC issuable in exchange for each share of Dow Jones common stock will be based on the exchange ratio in the merger agreement, which is equal to the number of shares of News Corporation's Class A common stock with a value of $60 based on the volume weighted average trading price of a share of Class A common stock of News Corporation over the five trading days ending on the trading day prior to the closing of the merger. The transaction is expected to be tax-free to Dow Jones stockholders to the extent they receive Newco LLC Class B units for their Dow Jones shares.

The parties have also agreed that, upon closing of the merger, News Corporation will appoint a member of the Bancroft family or another mutually acceptable person to the News Corporation board of directors.

Rupert Murdoch, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of News Corporation, said, "I am deeply gratified at the level of support we have received from the Bancroft family and its trustees. Given the Bancrofts' long and distinguished history as custodians of Dow Jones, we appreciate how difficult this decision was for some family members. I want to offer the Bancrofts my thanks, and an assurance that our company and my family will be equally strong custodians."

Richard F. Zannino, Chief Executive Officer of Dow Jones, said, "News Corporation's proposal reflects the vitality and uniqueness of Dow Jones and its world-class journalism, brands, businesses and people. The transaction will deliver significant returns to our shareholders. It will also build on our recent, industry-leading earnings growth and make our company and journalism even stronger as our strengths are leveraged across News Corporation's powerful global distribution and marketing platforms for the benefit of our readers and other customers. On behalf of all of my colleagues at Dow Jones, I would like to express our deepest gratitude to the Bancroft family for their years of steadfast support for the journalistic excellence of Dow Jones. We look forward to continuing their legacy."

M. Peter McPherson, Chairman of the Board of Dow Jones, said, "Having thoroughly reviewed News Corporation's proposal, the Dow Jones Board has overwhelmingly voted to approve the definitive merger agreement. This decision has been difficult and emotional for a great many people because of the long history of this great institution. The board has concluded, with a great deal of family support, that the proposal provides outstanding financial value and provides excellent opportunities to the extraordinary Dow Jones franchise. Also, we wish to thank the Bancroft family for their years of faithful stewardship. The editorial independence agreement proposed by the Bancroft family is a strong agreement about which all can be pleased."

Mr. Murdoch added, "Dow Jones is a vibrant company and one of the world's greatest media franchises, with a portfolio of brands that has no equal in financial information and business journalism. In combination with News Corporation's assets, The Wall Street Journal and the other Dow Jones operations will be even more formidable competitors as we profitably extend their invaluable information across our print, broadcast and digital platforms around the world."

The merger, which is expected to close in the fourth calendar quarter, is subject to approval by Dow Jones stockholders, execution and delivery by the parties of the editorial agreement, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Goldman, Sachs & Co. served as financial advisor to Dow Jones, and Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP provided legal counsel to Dow Jones. Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP provided legal counsel to the non-family members of Dow Jones' board of directors. Merrill Lynch & Co. acted as financial advisor to certain trusts for the benefit of the Bancroft family. Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz provided legal counsel to the Bancroft family. JPMorgan, Allen & Company and Centerview Partners served as financial advisors to News Corporation, and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and Hogan & Hartson LLP provided legal counsel to News Corporation.

This press release and the related Agreement and Plan of Merger will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the requirements of U.S. securities laws.

To be included in the Dow Jones EPAC Select Dividend Index, stocks must have a positive, three-year dividend-per-share growth rate; a dividend payout ratio of less than or equal to 1.5 times the five-year average payout ratio of the Dow Jones country index to which it belongs; and a three-month average daily dollar trading volume of at least $3 million.

For the weighting of the stocks, the Dow Jones EPAC Select Dividend Index - calculated in U.S. dollars—uses a combination of indicated annual dividend in order to determine component weights within each country, and dividend yield in order to determine country weights within the index. The represented countries are weighted within the index based on dividend yield. Eligible stocks are ranked in descending order by indicated annual dividend yield, and the top 100 components are selected for the index. Component weightings are capped at 10% in the index.

The Dow Jones EPAC Select Dividend Index further complements the Dow Jones and Dow Jones STOXX Select Dividend Index series, which consists of the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index, the Dow Jones STOXX Global Select Dividend 100 Index, the Dow Jones STOXX and EURO STOXX Select Dividend 30 Indexes, the Dow Jones STOXX NORDIC Select Dividend 20 Index, the Dow Jones STOXX EU Enlarged Select Dividend 15 Index, the Dow Jones Select Dividend Indexes for Asia, Asia/Pacific, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, U.K. as well as the Dow Jones SWX Select Dividend 20 Index.
Since its inception on December 5, 2005, the Dow Jones EPAC Select Dividend Index has an annualized return of 31.21%.

Historical data for the Dow Jones EPAC Select Dividend Index is available back to December 31, 1998.

DOW JONES INDEXES IMPROVES TARGET DATE INDEX SERIES

New York (June 12, 2007) — Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, said it will change the emerging markets index component of its global Dow Jones Target Date Indexes, effective at the close of business June 29, 2007. The Dow Jones Wilshire Emerging Markets Large Cap Index^SM will be substituted for the existing index, which was custom-designed for the Dow Jones Target Date Index series.

The Dow Jones Wilshire Emerging Markets Large Cap Index^SM, which is part of the Dow Jones Wilshire Global Total Market Index^SM, covers the largest stocks in 33 countries, compared to 14 in the index it is replacing. The Dow Jones Wilshire Global Total Market Index was launched in October 2006.

“This change represents a substantial improvement in the emerging markets module of our Dow Jones Target Date Indexes,” said Michael A. Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes/Reprints. “We decided to include the Dow Jones Wilshire Emerging Markets Large-Cap Index because big stocks are far more liquid than small stocks. Additionally, large-cap stocks constitute the vast majority of holdings by emerging-market fund managers,” he added.

The Dow Jones Target Date Indexes were introduced in 2005 and are designed as benchmarks for balanced and multiasset-class portfolios with risk profiles that become more conservative over time. The Dow Jones Target Date Indexes each comprise 14 indexes representing the equity, fixed income and cash asset classes. The global index series includes nine Dow Jones equity indexes, four Lehman Brothers bond indexes, and the Lehman one-to-three months T-bill index as the cash component.

The existing history of Dow Jones Target Date Indexes will be restated to reflect the change of the underlying emerging markets index.

The Dow Jones Target Date Indexes are the first total portfolio benchmarks against which returns of target date funds can be measured. Target date or lifecycle funds are rapidly growing in number and assets and are being offered to investors, particularly in 401(k) plans. Investors pick a fund with the target date closest to their anticipated retirement, and its asset allocation becomes progressively more conservative as that year approaches.

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

METZLER/ PAYDEN SELECTS DOW JONES WILSHIRE EX-US REAL ESTATE INDEX AS BENCHMARK FOR NEW FUND

New York (May 22, 2007)— Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, and Wilshire Associates, a global leader in investment technology, investment consulting and investment management, today announced that the Dow Jones Wilshire ex-US Real Estate Securities Index^SM will serve as a benchmark for the Metzler Payden International Real Estate Fund.

The fund is the first real estate fund offered by Metzler/Payden, LLC, a U.S.-based investment management firm that is a 50/50 joint venture between independent partners Metzler Bank and Payden & Rygel. The new fund will be benchmarked to the Dow Jones Wilshire ex-US Real Estate Securities Index (RESI).

“Real estate as a publicly traded asset class has outperformed the broader U.S. equity market in the past few years. Whether investors continue to seek returns in the U.S. or look internationally, they require a reliable and comprehensive global real estate index family to gauge how their active portfolios compare to the overall market segment,” said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes and Reprints.

“The Dow Jones Wilshire RESI has been the U.S. standard for benchmarking both direct real estate investment and real estate securities in the U.S. for decades,” commented Dennis A. Tito, the chairman and chief executive officer of Wilshire Associates who developed the then-named Wilshire 5000 in 1974. “The Dow Jones Wilshire ex-US RESI has the same focused real-estate measurement rules that managers need to demonstrate their skill in real estate investing.”

“We believe that International Real Estate is going to be an exciting asset class in the future,” said Chris Orndorff, co-portfolio manager of the Metzler Payden International Real Estate Fund (ticker:MPREX). “As we looked to introduce a strategy to American investors that we have been managing for European clients for years, we wanted to take a thoughtful approach to selecting a benchmark for the Fund. The Dow Jones Wilshire ex-US RESI is clearly the best index available. It accurately represents the real estate universe and the service level of the Dow Jones Wilshire indexes business team is superior to the other real estate index providers.”

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^SM is a subset of the Dow Jones Wilshire Global Real Estate Securities Index^SM and comprises those REITs and REIT-like 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 real-estate supply and demand—such as interest rates—influence the market values of these companies.

As of May 21, 2007, the Dow Jones Wilshire ex-US RESI is up 9.29% for the year.

About the Dow Jones Wilshire Index Family

The development of the global family of indexes in 2006 marked a new phase of the Dow Jones Wilshire relationship. The affiliation began in 2004 when Dow Jones and Wilshire co-branded 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, objective and transparent rules.

DOW JONES INDEXES LAUNCHES INDEX TO TRACK IPOS IN HONG KONG

New York (April 25, 2007)—Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today launched the Dow Jones Hong Kong IPO Index which measures the performance of the Hong Kong IPO market.

The Dow Jones Hong Kong IPO Index includes all companies which have their initial public offering on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, including Chinese H shares, with a free-float market capitalization of more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars at the start of trading on their respective listing dates. A company does not have to be headquartered, domiciled, or have operations in Hong Kong to qualify for the Dow Jones Hong Kong IPO Index. If a company goes public simultaneously in multiple markets, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange must be its primary listing; Chinese H shares are always eligible regardless of the other markets the company’s shares trade on.

The Dow Jones Hong Kong IPO Index is designed to underlie investment products, such as exchange-traded funds, mutual funds and other investment vehicles.

“Increasingly, Initial Public Offerings are considered a separate asset class that is garnering growing investor attention“, said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes/Reprints. “The launch of the Dow Jones Hong Kong IPO Index marks another major innovative step in our effort to provide investors with measurements tools for highly dynamic equity segments and emerging market segments.”

New components have to trade for five days after their first listing dates before they are added to the Dow Jones Hong Kong IPO Index. They are then included on the first Friday following their first five days of trading. Index components are removed after the close of trading on the first Friday following the 12 calendar months after their inclusion in the index. In addition, each component’s weight in the index is capped at 15% of the index’s total free-float market capitalization.

The number of components of the Dow Jones Hong Kong IPO index is variable, but always maintains a minimum of 10 components to ensure the stability of the index.
If a pending removal of a year-old component would drop the number of components in the index below 10, the component’s exit date will be extended until a new IPO can be added.

As of March 30, 2007, the Dow Jones Hong Kong IPO Index (USD version) had an annualized total return performance over the last three years of 41.69%.

The Dow Jones Hong Kong IPO Index is calculated in both the Price and Total Return versions in Hong Kong dollars as well as U.S. dollars and is disseminated End-of-day. Daily trading history is available back to December 31, 2000 at the base value of 1000.

The Dow Jones Hong Kong IPO Index is reviewed weekly for additions and deletions. Number of shares, free float and weighting capitalization factors are reviewed quarterly in March, June, September and December. Companies in the Dow Jones Hong Kong IPO Index are also reviewed quarterly for liquidity according to the Dow Jones Global Wilshire rules.

Further information about the index is available at www.djindexes.com.

Commenting on the partnership, Essa Kazim, Chairman, Dubai Financial Market, said: “With Dubai Financial Market being the first Islamic stock exchange, it is appropriate that we should co-brand our first Islamic index with Dow Jones Indexes, the creators of the world’s first Islamic index. As the DFM evolves alongside the financial transformation taking place in the UAE, it is imperative to introduce products that have global appeal.”

“Our stated mission is to create a fair, efficient, liquid and transparent marketplace in order to serve all stakeholders and to contribute to the economic growth of the UAE and the region,” added Kazim.

"The Dow Jones DFM Index and Dow Jones DFM Titans 10 Index were developed in cooperation with Dubai Financial Market to meet the growing demand for Shari’ah compliant equity indexes, and are based on internationally acknowledged Islamic finance standards,” said Michael A. Petronella, president Dow Jones Indexes/Reprints. “The launch of the two new indexes mark another major step in our effort to expand our Islamic indexes to include an increasing number of Muslim countries.”

The Dow Jones DFM Titans 10 is a subset of the Dow Jones DFM Index and measures the performance of the 10 largest companies listed on the Dubai Financial Market. The universe of stocks consists of all eligible securities listed on the Dubai Financial Market. The stock selection process follows the transparent and objective methodology of the Dow Jones Country Titans series.

Both indexes, which are calculated in U.S. dollars and United Arab Emirates Dirhams (AED), are weighted by free-float market capitalization and are reviewed quarterly in March, June, September, and December. Further information about the index is available at www.djindexes.com.

DOW JONES INDEXES AND AMANA SECURITIES LIMITED LAUNCH FIRST ISLAMIC INDEX FOR SRI LANKA

New index responds to expanding global interest in Shari’ah-compliant investing

New York (March 26, 2007) — Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, and AMANA Securities Limited, a Trading Member of the Colombo Stock Exchange, today announced the launch of the Dow Jones Islamic Market AMANA Sri Lanka Index.

Separately, Dow Jones Indexes today launched the Dow Jones Sri Lanka Titans 20 Index, a blue-chip measure of the country’s 20 largest and most liquid stocks.

The Dow Jones Islamic Market AMANA Sri Lanka Index tracks the performance of Sri Lankan companies that comply with Shari’ah-based investment principles and is the latest offering in the Dow Jones Islamic Market (DJIM) Index family. The index is designed to underlie financial products such as mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and other investment vehicles.

“Islamic banking and finance is about $300 billion and growing at 15 percent a year - faster than conventional finance in the GCC region and parts of Asia. Shari’ah-compliant investing is an area that we expect will only grow in the years ahead. The Dow Jones Islamic Market AMANA Sri Lanka Index provides Shari’ah-compliant investors access to stocks suitable for Islamic investment as well as exposure to an untapped emerging market. It is the latest addition to the Dow Jones Islamic Market Index suite, which was originally created in 1999 and continues to serve as the premier benchmark family for Islamic-based equity portfolios.” said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes and Reprints.

“The launch of the Indexes is indeed a momentous occasion, not just for Amana but for the country as a whole.

NEW YORK (March 20, 2007) ― Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, and Wilshire Associates, a global leader in investment technology, investment consulting and investment management, announced today that the Texas-based El Paso Firemen & Policemen’s Pension Fund has adopted the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Index^sm as a supplemental benchmark for its domestic equity investment portfolio. The Fund also is relying on proprietary Dow Jones Wilshire Index Data to monitor the investment strategies being executed by its portfolio managers. The announcement comes after a successful trial period.

Robert Stanton, executive director of the El Paso Firemen and Policemen’s Pension Fund, said, "We are pleased to announce that we are supplementing our current benchmarks with the Dow Jones Wilshire family of domestic equity indexes, and the related Dow Jones Wilshire Index Data reports. As investment benchmarks, the Dow Jones Wilshire Indexes are clear, concise and comprehensive – providing our Trustees an effective tool to help us monitor our domestic portfolios. We are also using the reports available from Dow Jones Wilshire Index Data for internal portfolio studies, which allow our Trustees to more easily understand each manager’s investment process as compared to these benchmarks."

Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes/Reprints, "The El Paso Trustees’ decision to formally adopt our benchmarks and actively use our data confirms the value of the Dow Jones Wilshire Indexes as effective tools for the investor. We look forward to working with more Funds in the future, supporting their efforts to oversee a significant portion of their asset allocation."

"Plan sponsors need effective ways to continually monitor their investments," commented Dennis A. Tito, chairman and chief executive officer of Wilshire Associates who developed the then–named Wilshire 5000 in 1974. "For portfolios that reflect the entire US equities market, there is no better benchmark than the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000."

The El Paso Firemen and Policemen’s Pension Fund is comprised of over $730 million in assets, including 5 domestic equity funds.

The Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 is the primary domestic component of the Dow Jones Wilshire Global Total Market Index and a cornerstone of the Dow Jones Wilshire Global Index Family.

SYSTEM PROBLEM CAUSED LAG IN TIMELY CALCULATION OF DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE FOR 70 MINUTES YESTERDAY

New York (Feb. 28, 2007)— Dow Jones Indexes today explained that a system problem beginning at 1:50 pm yesterday amid unusually heavy volume caused the 70-minute lag in correctly calculating the value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and the subsequent downward spike in the reported index value when the problem was corrected at 3:00 pm.

Michael A. Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes, said the problem arose in the system responsible for feeding market data into the calculation system. While the DJIA was still being calculated and disseminated, the calculator was not receiving the underlying component prices of the DJIA on a timely basis. Once the slow data feed problem was recognized, Dow Jones Indexes switched to a redundant market data system. This switch-over caused prices that were received during the latency period to be processed all at once, bringing the index immediately in line with its underlying component stocks. The attached graph depicts the index as it was published and how it would have looked without the system latency.

Mr. Petronella said all Dow Jones Indexes systems are fully redundant, which enabled it to move to another system with timely pricing. Dow Jones Indexes is continuing to investigate the latency issue to correct the root cause of the problem. Dow Jones Indexes expects normal operation of the DJIA today using its redundant market data system. Dow Jones Indexes has historically experienced a high degree of system reliability and is committed to taking the necessary steps to prevent this type of problem from occurring in the future.

According to Dow Jones Indexes, a new two tier structure, consisting of both a “Supervisory Committee,” and an “Advisory Committee,” replaces the previous single Oversight Committee. The purpose of this two tier structure is to expand the breadth of input into the decision-making process, while also providing a mechanism for more rapid reaction in the event of any market disruptions or extraordinary changes in market conditions.
The three members of the DJ-AIGCI Supervisory Committee, appointed by Dow Jones Indexes and AIG Financial Products Corp., are:
Mr. John Prestbo, Editor and Executive Director, Dow Jones Indexes
Mr. Daniel Raab, Managing Director, AIG Financial Products Corp.
Mr. Christiaen van Lanschot, Managing Director, Banque AIG.

Prof. K. Geert Rouwenhorst, Yale School of Management
Mr. Timothy L. W. Teo, Director,
Government of Singapore Investment Corporation Pte Ltd.

Mr. James Walsh, Chief Investment Officer, Cornell University

According to Dow Jones Indexes, this new structure should further ensure that the DJ-AIGCI^SM remains a highly liquid benchmark for commodity investment as markets evolve and change over time. The Supervisory Committee will make all final decisions relating to the DJ-AIGCI, given any advice and recommendations of the Advisory Committee, with the main design principles of the Index continuing to be Economic Significance, Diversification, Continuity, and Liquidity.
The Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index is composed of 19 futures contracts on physical commodities and was introduced in 1998. 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-, and Yen-,denominated versions of the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index, and the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Spot Index^SM. Also available are total return versions of each of the excess return indexes and sub-indexes. Currently, there is an estimated $35 billion invested in financial products that track the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index on a global basis.

DOW JONES WILSHIRE 5000 REACHES RECORD HIGH

Widely Followed Benchmark Reflects Strongest Overall Market Since March 2000
Six of Ten Sectors Break Record Highs

NEW YORK (Feb. 20, 2007) – Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, and Wilshire Associates Inc., a global leader in investment technology, investment consulting and investment management, announced that the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000^sm, the most comprehensive measure of the U.S. stock market, today closed at a new record high. The Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 reached its previous highest close of 14751.64 on March 24, 2000, a time when crude oil was trading at $32.19/barrel, Angelina Jolie was two days away from winning an Academy Award for "Girl, Interrupted" and the dot com bubble was about to burst.

On Tuesday, February 20, 2007, the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 closed at 14,796.54, up 3.78% year-to-date and 44.9 points (0.3%) above its record March 2000 close. Six of the ten underlying Dow Jones Wilshire sector indexes also reached record highs recently, including:

• Oil and gas on December 14, 2006

• Basic materials on May 9, 2006

• Consumer goods on January 24, 2007

• Utilities on January 14, 2007

• Consumer services on January 24, 2007

• Financials on January 24, 2007

"This record high is a clear indication of overall market strength as captured by Dow Jones Wilshire 5000," says Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes. "As the market continues to grow, so too does the need for greater index transparency and methodologies that allow investors to accurately and effectively measure investment performance."

"Though small-cap stocks have led the market resurgence, the new DJ Wilshire 5000 record close confirms how broad based the recovery has been," said Dennis A. Tito, chairman and chief executive officer of Wilshire Associates who originally developed the then-named Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index in the early 1970s. "The DJ Wilshire 5000 also recently doubled from its recent low close on October 9, 2002. Although five years is a long time to wait to breakeven, the climb, as saw-toothed as it has been, has been relatively steady"

Based on the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000, the market capitalization of the U.S. stock market now stands at a record $18.5 trillion.

The Dow Jones Wilshire 5000, the broadest measure of the U.S. stock market, is composed of all U.S. equity securities with readily available prices and employs a rules-based methodology.

DOW JONES ISLAMIC MARKET TITANS 100 INDEX TO UNDERLIE ETF FOR FIRST TIME

EasyETF DJ Islamic Market Titans 100 is first Shari’ah–compliant ETF in Western Europe

NEW YORK (Jan 29, 2007) — Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today announced the Dow Jones Islamic Market (DJIM) Titans 100 Index has been licensed for the first time to serve as the basis of an exchange-traded fund (ETF). The ETF, managed by BNP Paribas Asset Management, launched today at the SWX Swiss Exchange.

The DJIM Titans 100 Index is a blue-chip index that tracks the top 100 global companies that comply with Islamic investment guidelines

"The new ETF reflects growing interest in the area of Islamic finance as well as a heightened overall demand for unique concepts and products in passive investing. The Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes are a perfect tool for combining faith-based principles and finance in order to capture the performance of the largest 100 Islamic compliant companies globally. This index family is just one example of Dow Jones Indexes’ leadership in producing advanced, innovative benchmarks-market participants may be looking at this area of finance now, but we’ve been there since the beginning," said Lars Hamich, managing director of STOXX Limited, a joint venture of Dow Jones & Company, Deutsche Boerse and SWX Group that is responsible for Dow Jones Indexes’ business development in Europe, Australia and Africa.

A six-member supervisory board of Islamic scholars also counsels Dow Jones Indexes on the Shari’ah compliance of eligible stocks for the DJIM.

The index universe for the DJIM Indexes is defined as all components in the Dow Jones World Index. To be eligible for the DJIM, stocks are screened based on industry classification and financial ratios. Companies that represent the following businesses–alcohol, pork–related products, entertainment, financial services, defense/weapons and tobacco–are excluded. Also excluded are companies whose total debt divided by trailing 12-month average market capitalization is 33% or more; cash plus interest-bearing securities divided by trailing 12-month average market capitalization is 33% or more; and those whose accounts receivables divided by 12–month average market capitalization is 33% or more.

Companies that pass these criteria are then ranked based on their float–adjusted market capitalization (weighted at 60%), sales/revenue (weighted at 20%) and net profit (weighted at 20%). These three ranks are combined to produce a final rank. The top 50 U.S. companies are included in the DJIM U.S. Titans 50 Index, the top 25 European companies are included in the DJIM Europe 25 Index and the top 25 Asian companies are included in the DJIM Asia/Pacific Titans 25 Index. Together, these three regional indexes make up the composite DJIM Islamic Market Titans 100 Index.

The DJIM Indexes are weighted by float–adjusted market capitalization with each component’s weight capped at 10% of the total free–float market capitalization. The weights are reviewed quarterly; the indexes are reviewed annually in June. More information can be found at http://djindexes.com.

WELLS LAUNCHES MUTUAL FUND BASED ON DOW JONES WILSHIRE GLOBAL REAL ESTATE SECURITIES INDEX

FUND IS FIRST LICENSED TO DOW JONES WILSHIRE GLOBAL RESI

NEW YORK (Jan. 24, 2007) -- Dow Jones Indexes, Wilshire Associates and Wells Real Estate Funds today announced the launch of Wells’ newest mutual fund, the first licensed to track the Dow Jones Wilshire Global Real Estate Securities Index.

The Wells Dow Jones Wilshire Global RESI Index Fund marks the first time the full Dow Jones Wilshire Global RESI, launched in March 2006, has been licensed for an investment product.

“As investors increasingly look toward real estate securities globally to diversify their equity portfolios, they require more sophisticated risk measurement tools to benchmark their returns. We launched the Dow Jones Wilshire Global Real Estate Indexes earlier this year to meet this demand, particularly as more institutional and individual investors seek exposure to REITs and real estate operating companies outside the U.S.” said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes/Ventures.

The Dow Jones Wilshire Global RESI includes publicly traded securities of real estate operating companies and real estate investment trusts. The Wells Dow Jones Wilshire Global RESI Index Fund (Class A shares: WDGAX, NASDAQ) will seek to provide corresponding investment results by investing in the stocks included in the index.

“We’re seeing an explosion of interest in REITs and other investment vehicles around the world,” said Leo Wells, president of Wells Real Estate Funds. “Global real estate securities now total nearly $1 trillion in equity. And two dozen countries have created, or are considering, REIT-like structures for investors. We think the time is right to bring this global opportunity to Wells investors.”

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 RESI Index tracks some 240 real estate operating companies (REOCs) and real estate investment trusts (REITs) in 24 countries. To be included, an operating company or REIT must be an equity owner and operator of commercial or residential real estate and must generate at least 75 percent of its revenue from such assets or operations. It also must meet minimum requirements for market capitalization and liquidity.

DOW JONES INDEXES/STOXX LTD. 2007 GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

LEADING ANALYSTS PREDICT SOFT LANDING OF WORLD ECONOMIES WILL SUSTAIN GROWTH OF EQUITY MARKETS IN 2007

NEW YORK (Jan. 23, 2007) – Despite concerns over global inflation, the struggling U.S. dollar and a potential bust in the commodities market, the U.S. and global stock markets should benefit from an economic ‘soft landing’ in 2007 and are poised for further growth, said leading financial experts at the fifth annual Dow Jones Indexes/ STOXX Ltd. Global Economic Outlook.

"Goldilocks" Economy Looks Promising for Global Equities

"The global stock markets have been betting on the ‘Goldilocks’ economy, while the bond markets have taken a more pessimistic view. Recent data suggest that the stock market view is closer to the mark. The ‘soft landing’ of the U.S. and global economies seems to be over and balance of risks seems to have shifted towards stronger growth," said Nariman Behravesh, Chief Economist and Executive Vice President of Global Insight. "Assuming that commodity prices do not snap back from current levels, the implications of this scenario are bullish for earnings in developed markets, but less rosy for emerging markets, which benefited from the commodities boom."

Bull Market Ahead for Emerging Markets

Michael Hartnett, Global Emerging Markets Investment Strategist at Merrill Lynch, believes that 2007 will prove to be a strong year for emerging markets, particularly in Asia. "We are unequivocally bullish on the secular outlook for emerging markets. This asset class is undercapitalized, underleveraged and under–owned and yet it is in the midst of one of the greatest bull markets. In fact, massive savings are likely to boost growth and prices for many years to come," Hartnett said. He also identified key risk factors that could harm performance in this region: global inflation, the strength of the U.S. dollar, a potential credit event and a protectionist policy with emerging market countries.

U.S. Dollar to Remain Weak as Investment Capital Outflow Continues

The U.S. dollar’s outlook in 2007 hinges largely on whether the U.S. economy will have a soft or hard landing. Ironically, a hard landing could prove the best–case scenario for the dollar, as it would likely bring a narrowing of the current account deficit and repatriation of U.S. capital invested abroad," said Rebecca Patterson, Global Currency Strategist at JPMorgan Chase. "However, we expect the dollar to stay on the defensive as long as investor appetite for risk stays positive, which in turn would lead to a widening of the deficit, and net foreign direct investment and equity continue to head overseas." Although the dollar has dropped about 25% since its 2002 peak, currencies tend to revert to fair value in the long term and the dollar will bounce back in the coming years, Patterson added.

Investors Should Avoid Complacency by Diversifying, Rebalancing Portfolios

Liz Ann Sonders, Chief Investment Strategist at Charles Schwab, expects the unprecedented levels of liquidity that drove both U.S. and international markets higher in 2006 to continue, but warns investors of decelerating economic growth in 2007: "We’ve seen an abundance of liquidity, strong corporate earnings growth, low volatility, a pause in the Fed’s raising of interest rates "all signs that indicate we will avoid a recession this year. This is good news; however, investors should keep in mind that liquidity–driven booms can be dissolved quickly by unexpected events. We also anticipate higher volatility in 2007, which gives investors an opportunity to rebalance their portfolios using a diversified, long–term investment approach." Sonders recommends investors focus on health care, technology and consumer staples stocks.

DOW JONES INDEXES ISSUES THE FOLLOWING REMINDER OF AN ANNOUNCEMENT MADE ON NOVEMBER 28, 2006 PERTAINING TO THE DOW JONES–AIG COMMODITY INDEX^SM JANUARY HEDGE ROLL PERIOD

(Note: The DJ-AIGCI Commodity Index Multiplier (CIM) Calculation Date referred to in the below announcement of November 28, 2006 was changed to January 8, 2007, according to the rules of the DJ-AIGCI Handbook, after the U.S. markets scheduled a previously unannounced closure on January 2, 2007 in honor of former U.S. President Gerald Ford.)

DOW JONES INDEXES ANNOUNCES ADJUSTMENT TO DOW JONES-AIG COMMODITY INDEX^SM

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 Index^SM (DJ-AIGCI^SM) 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 Index^SM. 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.
