The Dreyfus Corporation to use index to select stocks for its first-ever global sustainability fund

NEW YORK (Dec. 18, 2008) — Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, and SAM, the sustainability investment specialist, today announced that the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index has been licensed to The Dreyfus Corporation to serve as the stock selection pool for the firm's first-ever global sustainability-themed mutual fund.

This is the first time that the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index, which tracks the performance of the world's top sustainability leaders, will serve as the selection basis for a mutual fund available in the U.S.

"Since their launch in 1999, the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes have gained recognition and acceptance by the global investment community as the established benchmarks of companies that are leaders in long-term economic, environmental and social sustainability practices. Along with SAM, as the first index providers to create global sustainability indexes, we've observed growing interest among market participants in ways to incorporate sustainability principles in their investment strategies and portfolios. Dreyfus' new mutual fund will give U.S. investors the opportunity to gain exposure to this important investment approach," said Michael A. Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes.

"The Dreyfus Global Sustainability Fund will be the first mutual fund offered in the United States that uses the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index as its investable universe," said Phil Maisano, vice chair and chief investment officer for Dreyfus and chief investment strategist for BNY Mellon Asset Management. "Dreyfus and The Bank of New York Mellon are pleased to continue our history of innovation through the development of this fund. We are committed to environmental sustainability."

Launched in 1999, the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index measures the performance of global sustainability leaders. Since then the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes (DJSI) have expanded to include European, euro zone, North American and U.S. benchmarks. The indexes are published cooperatively by Dow Jones Indexes, STOXX Limited, the leading European index provider and a joint venture of Dow Jones & Company, Deutsche Boerse and SWX Swiss Exchange AG, and SAM (Sustainable Asset Management). The DJSI serve as objective and appropriate benchmarks to measure sustainability portfolios. The indexes also are suitable to underlie financial products.

Index components are selected based on the comprehensive SAM assessment process that identifies the leading companies from each of 57 sectors based on long-term economic, environmental and social criteria. This annual assessment measures general as well as industry-specific sustainability criteria. A growing number of listed companies have defined inclusion in the DJSI as a corporate goal.

There are currently more than 70 licenses globally with more than US$7 billion tied to the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes. The DJSI licensees have created a variety of index-based financial products, including active and passive funds, structured products, warrants and futures contracts.

DOW JONES INDEXES LAUNCHES THE FIRST ISLAMIC MARKET INDEX FOR ASEAN COUNTRIES

NEW YORK (Nov. 17, 2008) — Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today launched the Dow Jones Islamic Market (DJIM) ASEAN Index.

The DJIM ASEAN Index is the first index to represent the performance of Shari’ah-compliant companies in six of the 10 member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The index currently includes Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

The DJIM ASEAN Index is designed to serve as underlying for financial products such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs), or as a benchmark for actively managed mutual funds. The index has been licensed to Malaysia-based Corston-Smith Asset Management to be used as the basis for a long-only corporate governance investment fund.

“ASEAN member countries are among the fastest emerging economies in Asia. The Dow Jones Islamic Market ASEAN Index now enables market participants to track Shari’ah-compliant stocks across the Southeast Asian region,” said Mike A. Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes. “The index further broadens the geographical coverage of the well sought after Dow Jones Islamic Market index series which follows a unique methodology and has set the standard for Islamic indexing in the past decade.”

Shireen Muhiudeen, principal fund manager, Corston-Smith Asset Management said, "With the growing demand for Shari'ah-compliant investments, it was only natural for us to offer the first ASEAN Shariah Corporate Governance Fund. By using the Dow Jones Islamic Market ASEAN Index as a basis, we ensure meeting core Shari'ah ethical principles."

The DJIM ASEAN Index is weighted by free-float market capitalization. As of November 12, 2008, the index consists of 284 components; the top five components by float-adjusted market capitalization are PTT PCL (Thailand, Oil & Gas), Sime Darby (Malaysia, Industrial Goods & Services), Singapore Airlines (Singapore, Travel & Leisure), Singapore Telecommunications (Singapore, Telecommunications) and Telekomunikasi Indonesia (Indonesia, Telecommunications).

As of November 12, 2008, the DJIM ASEAN Total Return Index dropped -10.58% from its base date of December 31, 1995.1 The DJIM ASEAN Index is calculated in U.S. dollar. It is reviewed quarterly in March, June, September and December.

Launched in 1999, the Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes seek to measure the global universe of investable equities that pass screens for Shari’ah compliance. The Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes combine Islamic investment principles with Dow Jones Indexes’ objective, transparent and rules-based methodology.

The index family includes more than 90 regional, country and industry indexes derived from the flagship Dow Jones Islamic Market World Index.

DOW JONES INDEXES LAUNCHES THE GLOBAL DOW
Wall Street Journal editors and Dow Jones Indexes experts gather in New York to reveal the world's current and future global leaders

NEW YORK (Nov. 11, 2008)   Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today announced the launch of The Global Dow, a blue-chip representation of the world's leading companies as selected by editors of Dow Jones & Company. The Wall Street Journal editors and Dow Jones Indexes experts gathered at the Dow Jones offices in midtown Manhattan today to unveil and discuss the chosen components.

The Global Dow measures the performance of 150 stocks of companies that are established global leaders as well as those poised for future global leadership.

"The turmoil of recent weeks has highlighted, among other things, how the global economy has converged and the continuing rise to prominence of emerging countries," said Robert Thomson, managing editor of The Wall Street Journal and editor-in-chief for all of Dow Jones. "The Global Dow will recognize smaller, vibrant companies in emerging markets and in promising new sectors as the new corporate forerunners alongside their more established peers."

"From a solar power company in Norway to a telecommunications enterprise in India, the objective of The Global Dow is to measure the performance of 150 blue–chip stocks worldwide. In Charles Dow's day, tracking the stock market was a domestic undertaking. Today, equity markets are global in scope and more intertwined than ever," said John A. Prestbo, editor and executive director, Dow Jones Indexes. "In the tradition of Charles Dow, selecting components of The Global Dow is entrusted to senior Dow Jones editors, who direct the world's most reputable team of financial journalists."

The index universe is defined as all publicly traded securities in markets that are open to foreign investment. Dow Jones editors use their editorial judgement and expertise in choosing components for The Global Dow. Among the criteria they considered were companies' size, reputation and importance in the global economy. They chose stocks from both developed and emerging markets and from new as well as established sectors. Thus, The Global Dow includes companies that are driving the global economy today and some that are poised to do so in the future.

Stocks in The Global Dow are equally weighted and are rebalanced annually in September. For the sake of continuity, composition changes will be rare and typically will occur following corporate acquisitions or other significant changes in a component company's core business. When one component is replaced, all of them will be reviewed. As a result, several component changes may be implemented simultaneously.

The largest three components by float-adjusted market capitalization in The Global Dow are Exxon Mobil Corp. (U.S., Oil & Gas), Procter & Gamble Co. (U.S., Consumer Goods) and General Electric Co. (U.S., Industrials). The smallest three are General Motors Corp. (U.S., Consumer Goods), Renewable Energy Corp. ASA (Norway, Oil & Gas), and Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd. ADS (China, Oil & Gas). As of the close on Monday, November 10, 2008, The Global Dow is down 44.22% year to date.

DOW JONES TO CHANGE THE COMPOSITION OF THE DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE

Kraft Foods to Replace American International Group

NEW YORK (Sept. 18, 2008) ― Kraft Foods Inc. (KFT) will replace American International Group Inc. (AIG) in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, effective with the opening of trading on September 22, Dow Jones & Company announced.

The 112-year-old stock index was previously changed on February 19, 2008, when two stocks out of 30 were replaced.

"We are refraining at this point from adding another stock in the financial industry because of the extremely unsettled conditions. We realize this decision leaves the Dow Jones Industrial Average under-weighted in financials, and we will address this situation in due course," said Robert Thomson, managing editor of The Wall Street Journal. The Journal's top news editor oversees the makeup of "The Dow," which Charles H. Dow created as a 12-stock index in May 1896 and today is the best-known stock-market barometer in the world.

"We are adding Kraft because the Dow Jones Industrial Average had no representation in food products. Kraft is one of the world's leading food companies," Mr. Thomson said.

John A. Prestbo, editor of Dow Jones Indexes, said, "There are no pre-determined criteria for a stock to be added or deleted, though we intend that all components be established U.S. companies that are leaders in their industries." For the sake of continuity, composition changes are intentionally rare, Mr. Prestbo said, "although this time change was forced by the effective nationalization of AIG and its very low stock price." AIG has been in the Industrial Average since April 1, 2004.

The changes won't cause any disruption in the level of the index. The divisor used to calculate The Dow from its components' prices on their respective home exchanges will be changed prior to the opening on September 22. This procedure prevents any distortion in The Dow's reflection of the U.S. stock market.

For more information, see the web site of Dow Jones Indexes at www.djindexes.com. The Dow Jones Transportation Average, Dow Jones Utility Average and Dow Jones Composite Average also are members of the Dow Jones Averages family.

DOW JONES INDEXES AND CHICAGO CLIMATE EXCHANGE LAUNCH GLOBAL EMISSIONS INDEX SERIES

NEW YORK AND CHICAGO (Aug. 26, 2008) ― Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, and the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), the world's first and North America's only voluntary, legally binding integrated greenhouse gas emissions reduction, registry and trading system, today announced the launch of the Dow Jones/CCX European Carbon Index and Dow Jones/CCX Certified Emissions Reductions (CER) Index, which serve as benchmarks for participants seeking exposure to the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme and Kyoto Protocol Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), respectively. The two new indexes are the first in a series of global emissions indexes to be launched jointly by Dow Jones Indexes and CCX.

Emissions trading aims to reduce pollution using a market-based approach of providing economic incentives to companies that reduce their emissions beyond their target. In this system, also referred to as cap and trade, a government or other regulatory authority sets a cap on the amount of pollutants that can be emitted and distributes allowances, or credits, that represent the right to emit a specific amount. Companies that do not meet the cap buy credits from companies that emit below their specified amounts. The group as a whole meet the set environmental goal at least cost to society.

The European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) is the largest multi-country, multi-sector emissions trading program in the world. The Clean Development Mechanism is a program under the Kyoto Protocol that allows developed nations committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to invest in projects that reduce emissions in developing nations to offset the costs of lowering emissions in their own countries.

"Reducing greenhouse gases and other pollutants has become a major worldwide initiative that has drawn the participation of industrialized and emerging economies in key regions around the globe. Emissions trading has surfaced as the most cost-efficient means of achieving this goal and the Chicago Climate Exchange is well positioned to facilitate this trading on a global basis. The Dow Jones/CCX EUA and CER Indexes provide market participants with price gauges to assess their exposure to this growing asset class. We hope to expand our offerings for emissions-themed benchmarks in the future," said Michael A. Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes.

"The launch of the Dow Jones/CCX EUA and CER Indexes highlights CCX's commitment to build a robust market so that the private sector can play its critically important role in advancing environmental and social objectives," said Dr. Richard Sandor, chairman and chief executive officer, CCX. "This suite of index products will broaden the pool of participants in the market while furthering transparency. Our alliance with such a world-renowned brand as Dow Jones is a win-win for the growing worldwide emissions market."

The Dow Jones/CCX European Carbon Index is composed of actively traded European Union Allowances (EUA) futures contracts on the European Climate Exchange. It measures the present discounted value of EUAs &sdash; the carbon credits issued in the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme, across different maturities. The Dow Jones/CCX CER Index measures the present discounted value of CERs&sdash;the carbon offset allowances issued by the United Nations under the Kyoto Protocol Clean Development Mechanism, across different maturities.

All contracts used in the indexes' calculations are the European Climate Exchange Carbon Financial Instrument Futures listed on ICE Futures.

The Euribor interest rates are used to discount maturities of the nearby contract while the Euro Interest Swap rates are used to discount the December expiry contracts for the two subsequent years.

The indexes are weighted by the percentage of open interest that each contract has among the three included contracts on the last trading day of the previous quarter. The weightings of the underlying contracts for both indexes are rebalanced quarterly in April, July, October and January.

Unlike equities that give shareholders an ownership stake in a corporation, carbon futures contracts normally specify a certain delivery date of the underlying physical carbon spot. To avoid the delivery process and maintain a long futures position, nearby contracts must be sold and contracts that have not yet reached the delivery period must be purchased. This process is known as "rolling" a futures position. The Dow Jones/CCX European Carbon and CER indexes are "rolling indexes" that roll once a year in December over a four-day period.

The Dow Jones/CCX European Carbon and CER indexes are calculated in euro and values are published end of day. Estimated daily back-tested history for the Dow Jones/CCX European Carbon Index is available back to January 2, 2008; for the Dow Jones/CCX CER Index, data is available back to April 1, 2008.

For more information please visit www.djindexes.com.

The Dow Jones/CCX European Carbon Index and Dow Jones/CCX Certified Emissions Reductions (CER) Index were first published on August 26, 2008. All estimated daily historical closing prices prior to that date are based on backtesting (i.e., calculations of how the index might have performed in the past if it had existed). Backtested performance information is purely hypothetical and is solely for informational purposes. Backtested performance does not represent actual performance, and past performance is not indicative of future results.

RUPERT MURDOCH UNVEILS PLANS FOR THE GLOBAL DOW

Editors of The Wall Street Journal Will Select Global Leaders

MUMBAI (August 04, 2008) ―Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, will launch The Global Dow, an index whose components are selected by the editors of The Wall Street Journal.

The launch of this new icon was unveiled today by Rupert Murdoch, chairman and chief executive of News Corporation in Mumbai, India. Dow Jones Indexes is a business unit of Dow Jones & Company, a News Corporation company (NYSE: NWS, NWS.A; ASX: NWS, NWSLV).

Mr. Murdoch said: "The world is changing and how we measure that change economically and financially is clearly a challenge and an opportunity. We have seen a reweighting of risk around the world, but the world itself is being economically rerated and so we need an index that allows investors to take advantage of these changes. Indian companies will obviously have a place in The Global Dow as will companies from other emerging countries where we have seen an unprecedented economic emancipation over the past two decades."

Robert Thomson, managing editor, The Wall Street Journal said, "While we must reflect the global stock market as it is, we must also recognize the rapid rise of companies in countries such as India. We have already seen great Indian companies acquiring famous brands such as Jaguar and Land Rover, but these developments are just the beginning of a long-term trend that will fundamentally change the international corporate landscape. As with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the component choices for the new index will be based on the editorial judgment of the world�s leading business journalists, that is Dow Jones journalists."

The Global Dow will track the share prices of existing and future global leaders in every industry. Vigorous companies from emerging economies will be included along with companies from emerging sectors such as alternative energy.

DOW JONES INDEXES MID-YEAR COMMODITIES OUTLOOK MEDIA SUMMARY

CHICAGO (July 29, 2008) ― The Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index is up 12.01% so far this year. Leading commodity analysts provided their market outlook for the rest of 2008 this morning at the seventh annual Dow Jones Indexes Commodity Outlook, hosted by CME Group.

Oil prices may have reached their peak for now

"Declining oil prices in recent weeks due in part to weakened U.S. demand and increased global output have provided relief to consumers after the string of record highs we've experienced in the first half of 2008. The questions on people's minds are 'has the oil bubble finally burst' and 'if so when will we see a return to double-digit prices?' We should see oil prices reach $99, heating oil at $250 and RBOB close at $220 before the end of the year," said Phil Flynn, vice president and senior market analyst, Alaron Trading Corporation, Chicago.

Global grains supply expected to rise in second half of 2008

"Soaring energy and food prices are a forgone conclusion that realistically can�t be reversed without a global recession. However, contrary to popular belief, historically high grain prices will bring on more supply than was expected in early 2008, especially as profitability stimulates productive efforts worldwide," said David C. Hightower, president and founder, The Hightower Report, Chicago.

Gold prices will continue to soar into 2009

"Gold continues to be used as a vehicle to hedge inflation and a store of value in uncertain times. In an environment with high crude oil prices, a historically weak dollar and fragile world economies, gold should trade at the high end of its recent range and make new highs into 2009," said Charles Nedoss, senior account manager, Peak Trading, Rosenthal Collins, Chicago.

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 &sdash; 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 Dow Jones — AIG Single Commodity Indexes include subindexes for the 19 commodities in the composite index, plus cocoa, platinum, lead and tin.

DOW JONES INDEXES AND BROOKFIELD ASSET MANAGEMENT LAUNCH GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE INDEXES

New indexes to serve as benchmarks for performance of infrastructure securities worldwide

NEW YORK and TORONTO, ONTARIO (July 14, 2008)—Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, and Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (NYSE: BAM, TSX: BAM.A, Euronext: BAM:A), a global asset management company focused on property, power and infrastructure assets, today announced the launch of the Dow Jones Brookfield Infrastructure Indexes, a global index series designed to serve as benchmarks of companies that are owners and operators of key infrastructure assets such as toll roads, pipelines and ports. The new index family includes a composite index and sub-indexes for four regions and eight sectors.

The Dow Jones Brookfield Infrastructure Indexes includes benchmark indexes to gauge active infrastructure portfolios as well as blue-chip indexes that can underlie financial products.

“As the global infrastructure industry—which is the backbone for the provision of essential products and services for the world economy – continues to expand in response to increasing population and demographic shifts, there is a greater demand among investment professionals for high-quality benchmarks that accurately reflect this burgeoning asset class. The Dow Jones Brookfield Infrastructure Indexes can be used by institutional investors as measurement tools to gauge the performance of their infrastructure portfolios. The indexes also can be customized to meet the needs of market participants who are interested in specific areas, such as electricity transmission or toll road companies,” said Michael A. Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with an industry expert in Dow Jones,” said Kim G. Redding, head of Brookfield’s infrastructure securities platform.

“We believe this is an exciting time in the evolution of infrastructure as an asset class. Investor interest and investment opportunities have increased dramatically in recent years, fuelled by the enormous need for infrastructure across the globe and shrinking government budgets, the traditional source of funding for these assets. From an investment perspective, infrastructure assets offer a combination of predictable and growing cash flows, inflation-linked revenue and a low correlation to traditional asset classes.”

The new index series includes the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index, Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Composite Index, which includes master limited partnerships (MLPs); regional sub-indexes for the Americas, Europe, Asia/Pacific and Global ex U.S.; eight global sector sub-indexes, and the Dow Jones Brookfield Infrastructure MLP Index, which tracks MLPs only.

To be eligible for inclusion in the Dow Jones Brookfield Infrastructure Indexes, a company must have a minimum float-adjusted market capitalization of US$500 million as well as a minimum three-month average daily trading volume of US$1 million. Securities also must be domiciled in a country with a liquid market listing. More than 70% of cash flows must be derived from the development, ownership, lease, concession or management of infrastructure assets in the following sectors; airports, toll roads, ports, communications, electricity transmission and distribution, oil and gas storage/ transportation, and water. Also eligible are diversified companies that derive at least 70 percent of their cash flow from infrastructure assets as well as investment funds with a primary focus toward infrastructure investments.

As of July 11, 2008, the 5-year performance of the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index is 15.05%.

The Dow Jones Brookfield Infrastructure Indexes are reviewed quarterly in March, June, September and December. The indexes are calculated in price and net total return, in U.S. dollars, euros, Canadian dollars and Australian dollars. The Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index is available in real time while end-of-day data is available for the other Dow Jones Brookfield Infrastructure Indexes. Estimated daily back-tested history is available back to December 31, 2002.

For more information please visit http://www.djbrookfieldinfrastructure.com.

The Dow Jones Brookfield Infrastructure Indexes were first published on July 1, 2008. All estimated daily historical closing prices prior to that date are based on back-testing (i.e., calculations of how the index might have performed in the past if it had existed).

The Dow Jones GCC Titans 40 Index is weighted by float-adjusted market capitalization. Weights of individual stocks are capped at 8% in each country, with a maximum of 15 companies per country without an additional cap on country weights.

NEWLY LAUNCHED DOW JONES AFRICA TITANS 50 INDEX TO UNDERLIE EXCHANGE-TRADED FUND

NEW YORK (July 10, 2008) – Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today launched the Dow Jones Africa Titans 50 Index, a pan-African index that measures the stock performance of 50 companies that are headquartered in or generate the majority of their revenues in Africa. Market participants have either direct or indirect exposure to the following 11 markets in Africa: Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo), Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa and Zambia.

The index has been licensed to Van Eck Global, a provider of global investment products, to serve as the basis for an exchange-traded fund. This is the first time that a pan-African index will serve as underlying for an ETF. The Market Vectors Africa Index ETF (AFK) is available on Monday, July 14 at the New York Stock Exchange.

“The methodology behind the Dow Jones Africa Titans 50 Index provides a balanced reflection of the African markets,” said Michael A. Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes. “It was important for us to develop an investable index that gives true exposure to the African region and is open to all African countries that qualify for it. This is the first pure African index to be used as underlying for an ETF.”

“One of the main advantages of the Dow Jones Africa Titans 50 Index is the fact that it also includes companies that are not headquartered or based in Africa, but generate more than 50% of their revenue there,” said Jan van Eck, principal, Van Eck Global. “The investor has the chance to invest in a pan-African portfolio while at the same time participating in the high liquidity and performance of international securities.”

The Dow Jones Africa Titans 50 Index is weighted by float-adjusted market capitalization. Each country’s weight is capped at 25% and weights of individual components are capped at 8% with a maximum of 15 companies per country. For inclusion in the index, companies must have a minimum market capitalization of US$200 million and a minimum three-month average daily trading volume of US$1 million.

The following five countries are included in the Dow Jones Africa Titans 50 Index and currently represent the investable universe: South Africa, Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria, and Morocco. Additionally, other African countries are represented in which the offshore companies generate the majority of their revenues. Among them are: Angola, DR Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, Mali and Zambia. The three biggest sectors represented in the index are Basic Resources, Banking, and Oil & Gas, according to the super sector classification breakdown.

The index is calculated in U.S. dollars (USD), and reviewed annually in June. Quarterly updates of float factors and shares are performed, in which eligible IPOs are added. These IPOs must list one month in advance of the review to be eligible for consideration at the quarterly update.

Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes. "The decision to transfer the Republic of Slovenia and the Republic of Malta to the Developed Markets subgroup is consistent with our goal of providing the most comprehensive measure of the equity markets for global economies from which institutional investors can make their asset allocation decisions," he added.

"Moving the Republic of Slovenia and the Republic of Malta to the developed market subgroup acknowledges the International Monetary Fund's findings that they have the infrastructure to deliver results in line with large, mature developed markets," noted Dennis A. Tito, chairman and chief executive officer of Wilshire Associates Incorporated and the individual credited with developing the then named Wilshire 5000 in 1974. "Adding Mauritius, Qatar, Oman and the UAE to the Dow Jones Wilshire Global Total Market index recognizes not only growing investor interest in, but also their investment in these previously sparsely covered countries."

All four new countries will be added to the Dow Jones Wilshire Emerging Markets, Dow Jones Wilshire Global exUS and Dow Jones Wilshire Middle East & Africa indexes.

As of July 1, 2008, 23 companies from Mauritius, 25 companies from Qatar, 38 companies from Oman and 28 companies from the UAE would be added to the Dow Jones Wilshire Global Total Market Index and respective regional and country indexes in October 2008.

The Dow Jones Wilshire Global Indexes are calculated in price and total return and weighted by float-adjusted market capitalization.

The decision to transfer Slovenian and Maltese stocks from the Emerging to the Developed Markets subgroup of the Dow Jones Wilshire Global Index family was triggered by the International Monetary Fund's reclassification of the Republic of Slovenia and the Republic of Malta as advanced economies.

As a result of the conversion, as it currently stands 14 Slovenian companies and 4 Maltese companies will be transferred from the Emerging to the Developed Markets subgroup in the Dow Jones Wilshire Global Total Market, Dow Jones Wilshire Europe and Dow Jones Wilshire Global exUS indexes.

DOW JONES INDEXES LAUNCHES NEW INDEXES FOR GCC REGION

DUBAI (July 1, 2008) ― Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today launched the Dow Jones GCC and the Dow Jones Islamic Market GCC indexes. The new indexes measure the performance of conventional and Shari'ah compliant stocks of five of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and United Arab Emirates. The five countries included in the index represent the investible universe of the GCC region and will be the first in a series of conventional and Shari'ah compliant GCC indexes. The Dow Jones GCC and Dow Jones Islamic Market GCC indexes represent approximately 95% of the float-adjusted market capitalization of the five countries.

"The launch of these new indexes for the GCC region acknowledges the growing global importance of one of the world's most rapidly emerging and most sought after financial markets while further solidifying Dow Jones Indexes role as the leading index provider in the Middle East," said Michael A. Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes. "The Dow Jones GCC and the Dow Jones Islamic Market GCC indexes enable an investor interested in Islamic as well as in conventional finance to participate in the performance of the region."

The Dow Jones GCC and Dow Jones Islamic Market GCC Indexes are weighted by float-adjusted market capitalization. The weights of individual stocks are capped at 15% in each country in both indexes - and at 30% for Bahrain in the Dow Jones Islamic Market GCC Index, in order to prevent the index from being dominated by certain securities. Back-tested estimated daily index history is available for both indexes back to December 31, 2003.

As of June 15, 2008, the top ten components for the Dow Jones GCC Index by free-float market capitalization are Mobile Telecommunications Co, Kuwait; Kuwait Finance House, Kuwait; National Bank of Kuwait, Kuwait; National Industries Group, Kuwait; Emaar Properties, United Arab Emirates; Dubai Financial Market, United Arab Emirates; Industries of Qatar, Qatar; Qatar National Bank, Qatar; DP World, United Arab Emirates and Public Warehousing Co, Kuwait.

The top ten components for the Dow Jones Islamic Market GCC Index by float-adjusted market capitalization are Public Warehousing, Kuwait; Mobile Telecommunications, Kuwait; Investment Dar, Kuwait; Gulf Cable & Electrical Industries, Kuwait; Boubyan Petrochemicals, Kuwait; Emaar Properties, United Arab Emirates; National Real Estate, Kuwait; Du, United Arab Emirates; Qurain Petrochemical Industries, Kuwait; Qatar Islamic Bank, Qatar and Arabtec Holding, United Arab Emirates.

As of June 15, 2008, the Dow Jones GCC Index and the Dow Jones Islamic Market GCC Index had an annualized price return of 27.55% and 26.49% respectively from its base date December 31, 2003 in a backtest.1

The Dow Jones GCC and Dow Jones Islamic Market GCC indexes are calculated in U.S. dollar (USD) and are reviewed quarterly in March, June, September and December. For more information on the Dow Jones GCC Index and the Dow Jones Islamic Market GCC Index, please visit www.djindexes.com.

 

1 The Dow Jones GCC Index and the Dow Jones Islamic Market GCC Index were first published in May 2008. All estimated daily historical closing prices prior to that date are based on back-testing, i.e. calculations of how the index might have performed in the past if it had existed. Back-tested performance information is purely hypothetical and is solely for informational purposes. It does not represent actual performance, and past performance is not indicative of future results.

DOW JONES INDEXES WINS ITS 14th AWARD FOR ITS ISLAMIC INDEX FAMILY

NEW YORK (June 24, 2008) ― Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today announced it won two awards for its Dow Jones Islamic Market Index Family. Global Finance magazine named the global index provider "Best Shari'ah-Compliant Index Provider". The award will be conferred during an awards ceremony on October 13, 2008 at the National Press Center in Washington. Furthermore, Dow Jones Indexes received the "Global Recognition for a Financial Institution Award". The award was presented at the International Islamic Finance Forum in Dubai.

"The Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes are the premier benchmarks for capturing the performance of Shari'ah-compliant stocks and bonds. As Islamic finance continues to grow in importance and in assets managed, industry participants have recognized our leadership and commitment to providing objective, comprehensive measurement tools for this market segment," said Michael A. Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes. "These awards bear testimony to Dow Jones Indexes' expertise and consistency in delivering leading-edge indexes for the Islamic finance industry."

Global Finance magazine awarded those financial institutions that contributed to the growth of Islamic Finance and successfully met their customers' needs for Shari'ah-compliant products, while creating the foundation for continued fast growth in the future. All selections were made by the editors of Global Finance, after extensive consultations with bankers, corporate finance executives and analysts throughout the world. Amid nominally objective criteria were growth in assets, profitability, geographic reach, strategic relationships, new business development and innovation in products. Subjective criteria included opinions of equity analysts, banking consultants and other involved in the industry.

The awards at the annual International Islamic Finance Forum in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, were initiated and organized by IIR Middle East. The five award categories were: Lifetime And Continuing Achievements In The Development Of Islamic Finance, Continuing Contributions In Promoting Islamic Finance, Global Recognition In Islamic Finance For A Financial Institution, Global Recognition In Islamic Finance For A Law Firm and Best IT Solution Providers In The Islamic Finance Industry. The awards are designed to promote excellence in Islamic finance and recognize significant contributions and important developments in the Islamic financial sector. A jury of high level experts and scholars from the industry discuss and decide on the winning companies. This year, the judging panel was composed of Sheikh Yusuf Talal DeLorenzo, Dr. Mohammed Daud Bakar, Michael Gassner, Tayeb Dejani and David Loundy who determined the winning institutions in the five different categories. The IIFF awards are presented since 2001.

Launched in 1999, the Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes seek to measure the global universe of investable equities that pass screens for Shari'ah compliance. The Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes combine Islamic investment principles with Dow Jones Indexes' objective, transparent and rules-based methodology.

The index family includes more than 70 regional, country and industry indexes derived from the flagship Dow Jones Islamic Market World Index. In 2006 the index family expanded to include the Dow Jones Islamic Market Sustainability Index, which combines Islamic investing principles with sustainability criteria; Dow Jones Citigroup Sukuk Index, the first index to track Islamic bonds; and Dow Jones Islamic Market BRIC Equal Weighted Index, which tracks Shari'ah-compliant stocks in Brazil, Russia, India and China. Islamic blue-chip indexes for Sri Lanka, Dubai and China and Hong Kong were launched last year.

There are currently more than 75 licensees with more than US $7 billion in assets benchmarked to the Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes.

DOW JONES INDEXES LAUNCHES ISLAMIC MARKET INDEX FOR HONG KONG LISTED CHINESE STOCKS

NEW YORK (May 9, 2008) — Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today launched the Dow Jones Islamic Market (DJIM) China Offshore Hong Kong Index.

The DJIM China Offshore Hong Kong Index represents the performance of companies that have been screened for compliance with Islamic principles and whose primary operations are in mainland China but trade on the Hong Kong stock exchange. Stocks included in the index are H-Shares and Red Chips.

The DJIM China Offshore Hong Kong Index is designed to serve as underlying for investment products such as mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other investable products.

"The Dow Jones Islamic Market China Offshore Hong Kong Index is another innovative addition to the highly successful Dow Jones Islamic Market index series following a unique and superior methodology," said John Prestbo, editor and executive director, Dow Jones Indexes. "Market participants will find in this index a way to track Shari'ah compliant mainland China stocks that are listed in the easily accessible Hong Kong market rather than in the restricted local Chinese market."

The DJIM China Offshore Hong Kong Index is weighted by free-float market capitalization and component weights are capped at 10%. As of April 30, 2008, the index consists of 40 components of which the top five components by free float-adjusted market capitalization are China Mobile Ltd., China Unicom Ltd., CITIC Pacific Ltd., CNOOC Ltd. and PetroChina Co. Ltd.

As of April 30, 2008, the DJIM China Offshore Hong Kong Price Index (US dollar) gained 152.9% from its base date, December 31, 2005 in a backtest.1

The DJIM China Offshore Hong Kong Index is calculated in both U.S. dollar and Hong Kong dollar versions. It is reviewed quarterly in March, June, September and December.

Launched in 1999, the Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes seek to measure the global universe of investable equities that pass screens for Shari'ah compliance. The Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes combine Islamic investment principles with Dow Jones Indexes' objective, transparent and rules-based methodology.

The index family includes more than 70 regional, country and industry indexes derived from the flagship Dow Jones Islamic Market World Index. In 2006 the index family expanded to include the Dow Jones Islamic Market Sustainability Index, which combines Islamic investing principles with sustainability criteria, the Dow Jones Citigroup Sukuk Index, the first index to track Islamic bonds and Dow Jones Islamic Market BRIC Equal Weighted Index, which tracks Shari'ah compliant stocks in Brazil, Russia, India and China. Islamic indexes for Sri Lanka, Dubai blue-chips, China/Hong Kong, India and Malaysian blue-chips were launched within the last year.

There are currently more than 75 licensees with more than US$7 billion in assets benchmarked to the Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes. For more information on the Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes, please visit www.djindexes.com.

Visa is being added this month in accordance with the IPO (initial public offering) inclusion rule for the Dow Jones Wilshire index family. According to the rule, any new non-component company—an IPO or new exchange listing—that meets the index inclusion standards as of the close of trading on the second Friday of the month will be added the following Friday.

Three other companies also will join the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 under this rule.  Visa shares began trading on March 19, 2008, which was past the deadline for being added in March.  The component changes will be effective as of the open of trading on Monday, April 21, 2008.

“The Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 is the broadest measure of U.S. equities available today. The IPO inclusion rule allows the Dow Jones Wilshire index family to measure the performance of newly public companies like Visa in a timely and effective manner. The methodology of the Dow Jones Wilshire Global Indexes is designed to ensure that both the U.S. and global benchmarks provide the investment community with the most up-to-date, reflective and complete equity coverage possible,” said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes.

“Since its inception, the DJ Wilshire 5000 has added companies, including IPOs, monthly,” noted Lawrence E. Davanzo, president of Wilshire Associates Incorporated and head of its asset management business.  “We never have required seasoning periods, but chose, instead, to mimic the way money managers actually invest.”

Visa also will be included in the following Dow Jones Wilshire U.S. Sub-indexes: Dow Jones Wilshire U.S. Financial Services IndexSM, Dow Jones Wilshire U.S. Large-Cap IndexSM and Dow Jones Wilshire U.S. Growth IndexSM.

As of Friday, April 11, 2008, there are 4,810 components in the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 with a float-adjusted market capitalization of $14.55 trillion. The float-adjusted market capitalization of Visa is $29.52 billion, as of Friday, April 11, 2008.
About the Dow Jones Wilshire Index Family
The Dow Jones Wilshire 5000SM 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. 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 5000SM Composite Index, the only true broad market index, is calculated and distributed by Dow Jones Indexes pursuant to an agreement between Dow Jones & Company and Wilshire Associates Incorporated.

PIMCO SELECTS DOW JONES REAL RETURN TARGET DATE INDEXES TO BENCHMARK NEW FUND

NEW YORK (April 7, 2008)— Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today announced that PIMCO has selected the Dow Jones Real Return Target Date Indexes to serve as benchmarks for the PIMCO RealRetirementSM funds.

The Dow Jones Real Return Target Date Indexes are designed to serve as benchmarks for lifecycle portfolios that start out aggressively to grow assets and end with a conservative mix of investments based on the portfolio's "target date." The indexes also can serve as the basis for financial products.

"The Dow Jones Real Return Target Date Indexes are the best-suited barometers for the growing number of active lifecycle funds that allocate to a highly diverse mix of assets and have a focus on the portfolio's 'real' return. PIMCO's decision to benchmark their new funds to these indexes affirms our continued leadership in providing comprehensive and meaningful measurement tools for the target date investment community," said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes.

"With the proliferation of target date strategies and investment products in recent years, we believe that benchmark selection is an important step in launching our own target date funds. We chose the Dow Jones Real Return Target Date Indexes because they provide an objective, well-constructed and appropriate representation of a diversified mix of assets that are suited for DC plan participants. The indexes' focus on inflation protection and use of real assets also were key criteria in our decision. Dow Jones Indexes has truly been exceptional in taking target date indexes to the next level," said Bob Greer, Real Return Product Manager of PIMCO.

Launched last month, the Dow Jones Real Return Target Date Indexes comprise 11 indexes, nine with target dates in 5–year intervals out to 2045, plus a Dow Jones Real Return 40+ Index and Dow Jones Real Return Today Index. Each index in the series represents a mix of sub–indexes representing stocks and bonds, Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS)–guaranteed by the U.S. government to pay interest above the rate of inflation—as well as commodities and real estate, which potentially counterbalance inflation.

The sub–indexes are the Dow Jones Wilshire Global Total Market IndexSM, Lehman Aggregate Bond IndexSM, Lehman U.S. TIPS IndexSM, Dow Jones-AIG Commodity IndexSM and Dow Jones Wilshire Real Estate Securities IndexSM.

The component asset classes are weighted within each Dow Jones Real Return Target Date Index to measure a targeted level of risk. Stocks and bonds are classified as nominal assets with high– and low–risk profiles, respectively. Real estate securities and commodities are considered real assets with high–risk profiles, and U.S. TIPS are considered real assets with a low-risk profile.

Over time the weights are adjusted based on predetermined formulas to adjust the risk level systematically as the index's target date approaches. For example, the Dow Jones Real Return 2045 Index includes approximately 90% component allocation to the high-risk assets (equities, real estate and commodities). When the index reaches its target date, the index composition will have changed to about 70% in the low-risk component assets (bonds, U.S. TIPS). The index will then convert into the Dow Jones Real Return Today Index, which maintains constant exposure to the conservative asset allocation.

The equity, real estate securities and bond portions of the Dow Jones Real Return Target Date Indexes are weighted by market capitalization. The indexes are reviewed on a quarterly basis. Back-tested estimated history is available back to January 2000i.

The Dow Jones Real Return Target Date Indexes are part of the Dow Jones Portfolio index family, which includes the Dow Jones Relative Risk and Dow Jones Target Date indexes. For more information on the Dow Jones Real Return Target Date Indexes, please visit www.RealReturnIndexes.com.

“We are very excited to enter into this partnership with Dow Jones Indexes. The DJSI  has become a true benchmark in terms of tracking the performance of sustainability leaders  on a global scale. It is a perfect match to CCX’s mandate of being the premier exchange in the world to bring together innovation, environmental integrity and sustainability,” said Dr. Richard L.

“Combining our long-term experience in innovative, comprehensible indexing with SAM’s experience in sustainability investing and CCX's unique expertise in integrating emissions reductions and emissions trading into new environmental products leads to an exciting new business initiative. We are starting off with the licensing of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes that enable participants in the growing environmental derivatives market to achieve a highly sought-after additional degree of transparency," said Michael A. Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes.

Created cooperatively by Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, and SAM, a pioneer in sustainability investing, the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes provide reliable and objective benchmarks to measure and manage sustainability portfolios. The index components are selected based on a comprehensive assessment process conducted by SAM that identifies the leading companies from each sector based on long-term economic, environmental and social criteria. Measuring general as well as industry-specific sustainability criteria, the annual SAM Sustainability assessment reflects the growing recognition among investors of the impact that long-term economic, environmental and social trends have on corporate financial performance.  The DJSI family captures the “best in class” companies and is used by financial institutions in 16 countries with more than USD6 billion managed against the index series.  Additionally, a growing number of listed companies have defined DJSI inclusion as a corporate goal.

DOW JONES INDEXES AND TRANSPARENT VALUE LLC LAUNCH THE DOW JONES RBP LARGE–CAP 130⁄30 INDEXES

NEW YORK (March 11, 2008)—Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, and Transparent Value LLC today announced the launch of the Dow Jones Required Business Performance (RBP) Index series. The new indexes measure the likelihood that a company can deliver the performance required to support its current stock price according to Transparent Value’s proprietary RBP methodology. The Dow Jones RBP Large–Cap 130⁄30 Indexes, the first indexes in the series, use the RBP probability metrics to create 130⁄30 investment strategy indexes based on U.S. large–cap stocks.

“The Dow Jones RBP Indexes are part of the next generation of intelligent index design. The RBP approach uses an innovative methodology that serves as a superior basis for a 130⁄30 index. Developed by Transparent Value, the RBP method applies a unique, transparent and rules-based methodology to analyze stocks that complements Dow Jones Indexes’ mission of providing the investment community with objective, rules-based indexes,” said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes.

“We are excited to partner with Dow Jones Indexes to launch the Dow Jones RBP Indexes. We embrace a rules-based approach to investing just as Dow Jones Indexes does in developing indexes,” said Julian Koski, co-founder of Transparent Value LLC. “The central idea behind the RBP methodology is to help investors objectively understand the valuation of publicly traded companies.  We believe the fundamental investment question is not whether a company is under– or overvalued, but whether the management of that company can deliver the required business performance to support its stock price.”

The Dow Jones RBP Indexes are quantitative strategy indexes developed and calculated by Dow Jones Indexes using rules-based, published analytics supplied by Transparent Value, LLC. The new indexes are designed to underlie financial products.

The index universe for the Dow Jones RBP Large–Cap 130⁄30 Index is defined as all stocks included in the Dow Jones Wilshire U.S. Large–Cap IndexSM 1. RBP probability scores are calculated by Transparent Value for each of the 750 companies in the Dow Jones Wilshire U.S. Large–Cap Index. The 30 stocks with the highest RBP probability scores become components of the Dow Jones RBP Large–Cap Leading 30 Index. The 30 stocks with the lowest RBP probability scores become components in the Dow Jones RBP Large–Cap Lagging 30 Index. Components for the Dow Jones RBP Large–Cap Leading and Lagging 30 indexes are subject to a screen that requires components to have a three-month average daily trading volume of at least $2.5 million USD. The Dow Jones RBP Large–Cap 130⁄30 Index measures the performance of the 750 stocks in the Dow Jones Wilshire U.S. Large–Cap Index as well as an additional 30% long position in the Dow Jones RBP Large–Cap Leading 30 Index and 30% inverse exposure to the Dow Jones RBP Large–Cap Lagging 30 Index.

Also available are the Dow Jones RBP Large–Cap Growth 130⁄30 Index and Dow Jones RBP Large–Cap Value130⁄30 Index, which follow the same methodology as the broader index. They are derived from the Dow Jones Wilshire U.S. Large–Cap Growth IndexSM and Dow Jones Wilshire U.S. Large–Cap Value IndexSM, respectively.

The Dow Jones RBP Large–Cap 130⁄30 Index, Dow Jones RBP Large–Cap Leading 30 Index and Dow Jones RBP Large–Cap Lagging 30 Index are rebalanced on a quarterly basis. The 750 stocks that make up the core of the index are weighted by float-adjusted market capitalization. Components in the leading⁄lagging sub–indexes are equal weighted. Back–tested estimated daily history is available back to December 31, 2004 2. For more information, please visit www.dowjonesRBP.com.

DOW JONES INDEXES AND AMMAN STOCK EXCHANGE TO LAUNCH NEW INDEX

New York, (February 14, 2008)—Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, and Amman Stock Exchange (ASE), the exchange for the trading of securities in Jordan, today launched the Dow Jones ASE 100 Index. The index is a broad benchmark index that tracks the performance of the 100 largest stocks listed at the ASE based on free-float market capitalization.

The Dow Jones ASE 100 Index was developed to meet the demand for index-based products at the Amman Stock Exchange and eventually to replace the ASE general price index. The Dow Jones ASE 100 is expected to further enhance transparency, visibility and accessibility of the performance of the Amman Stock Exchange for local, regional and international market participants by applying Dow Jones Indexes’ well known and widely used index methodology.

“The cooperation with the Amman Stock Exchange confirms once again our position as the leading index provider in the Middle East and North African regions and as the partner of choice for transparent rules-based indexes,” said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes. “We are optimistic that this index will help to raise the profile of this ambitious and upcoming financial market.”

“The Amman Stock Exchange is one of the most efficient exchanges in the region. The ASE contributed in establishing most of the regional exchanges.” said Jalil Tarif, the CEO of Amman Stock Exchange. “The ASE has its own indexes since 1980, and introduced new indexes based on free-float market capitalization. I believe that the launching of the Dow Jones ASE 100 index will enhance the ASE exposure to international investors. Foreign investors own more than 49% of the ASE market capitalization.”

The index universe for the Dow Jones ASE 100 Index is defined as all companies domiciled in Jordan, with their primary listing at the Amman Stock Exchange. Eliminated from the index universe are companies which belong to the bottom 1% by full market capitalization and companies which do not trade more than 33.33% of all trading days per quarter. The largest 100 companies remaining by full market capitalization will be included in the index. The Dow Jones ASE 100 Index is weighted by free-float market capitalization. Weights of individual stocks are capped at 10% in order to prevent the index from being dominated by individual securities.

The top five companies in the index by free float market capitalization are: Arab Bank (Banks), Housing Bank for Trading & Finance (Banks), Jordan Electric Power (Utilities), Taameer Jordan Holdings (Real Estate) and United Arab Investors (Financial Services).

The Dow Jones ASE 100 Index, which is calculated in U.S. dollar (USD) and Jordanian Dinar (JOD), is reviewed quarterly in March, June, September and December. Companies deleted in between quarterly reviews will be replaced at the next review date. As of January 31, 2007, the Dow Jones ASE 100 Index (USD) gained 269.83% back tested from its base date, December 31, 19991. Daily index history is available back to December 31, 1999. The full list of companies, including weighting and values of the Dow Jones ASE 100 Index, is available on www.djindexes.com.

DOW JONES TO CHANGE THE COMPOSITION OF THE DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE

Two Component Stocks Will Be Replaced

NEW YORK (February 11, 2008)—Bank of America Corp. and Chevron Corp. will replace Altria Group, Inc., and Honeywell International, Inc., in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, effective with the opening of trading on February 19, Dow Jones & Company announced.
These changes are the first in the 111-year-old stock index since April 8, 2004, when three stocks out of 30 were replaced.
"The catalyst for these changes is the restructuring in progress at Altria, which will result in a much smaller and more narrowly focused company," said Marcus W. Brauchli, managing editor of The Wall Street Journal. The Journal's top news editor oversees the makeup of "The Dow," which Charles H. Dow created as a 12-stock index in May 1896 and today is the best-known stock-market barometer in the world.
"As usual when we make any change we review all the stocks," Mr. Brauchli said. "In doing so, we saw that the financials industry was under-represented – notwithstanding the current turbulence – and that the oil and gas industry’s growing importance to the world economy called for another representative to join ExxonMobil Corp," he said.
John A. Prestbo, editor of Dow Jones Indexes, said, "There are no pre-determined criteria for a stock to be added or deleted, though we intend that all components be established U.S. companies that are leaders in their industries." For the sake of continuity, composition changes are intentionally rare, Mr. Prestbo said.

Altria, formerly Philip Morris Cos., has been in the industrial average since Oct. 30, 1985. It adopted its current name in 2003. Last year it spun off Kraft Foods, Inc. It has announced the spin-off next month of Philip Morris International, Inc., which will leave it as a purely domestic tobacco company.

Honeywell is being dropped because it is the smallest of the industrials in terms of revenue and earnings. Additionally, the role of industrial companies relative to the overall stock market has been shrinking in recent years, Mr. Brauchli said. AlliedSignal acquired Honeywell in late 1999 and adopted that name for the new entity. The predecessor of AlliedSignal was Allied Chemical & Dye Corp., formed in 1920 and added to The Dow on Dec. 7, 1925.
Chevron has been in the industrial average twice before. The first time, as Standard Oil Co. of California, was from February 1924 to August 1925. The company re-joined The Dow in 1930, but was replaced on Nov. 1, 1999. The Chevron name was adopted in 1984.
The changes won't cause any disruption in the level of the index. The divisor used to calculate The Dow from its components' prices on their respective home exchanges will be changed prior to the opening on February 19. This procedure prevents any distortion in The Dow's reflection of the U.S. stock market.
For more information, see the web site of Dow Jones Indexes at http://www.djindexes.com. The Dow Jones Transportation Average, Dow Jones Utility Average and Dow Jones Composite Average also are members of the Dow Jones Averages family.

###

Additions to and deletions from the Dow Jones Industrial Average do not in any way reflect an opinion on the investment merits of the companies involved.

PRESS BRIEFING
A press briefing will be held today and is open to all journalists. Mr. Prestbo will summarize the changes and be available for questions at 10:45 am.
Dial-in number for U.S.-based media: (800) 288-8974
Dial-in number outside the U.S.: (612)332-0342

DOW JONES INDEXES NAMED BEST ISLAMIC INDEX PROVIDER OF THE YEAR

Winners to be honoured at 2008 Euromoney Islamic Finance Awards Gala in London

NEW YORK (February 5, 2008)—Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today announced that it has been named best Islamic index provider of the year by Euromoney magazine. Rushdi Siddiqui, global director of business development for the Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes, will accept the award tonight at the 2008 Euromoney Islamic Finance Awards Gala at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London.

Launched in 1999, the Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes were the first indexes to measure the global universe of investable equities that pass screens for Shari’ah compliance. The Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes combine Islamic investment principles with Dow Jones Indexes’ objective, transparent and rules-based methodology.

“The Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes are the premier benchmarks for capturing the performance of Shari’ah-compliant stocks and bonds. As Islamic finance has continued to grow in recent years, industry participants have consistently recognized our leadership and commitment to providing objective, comprehensive measurement tools for this market segment,” said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes.

The Best Islamic index provider award is a new category this year. Award recipients in 19 categories were selected by a panel consisting of Euromoney’s editor, journalists who cover the region, and the head of the awards research department. Selection criteria include innovation, quantity and quality, international dimension and promotion of the Islamic finance industry of the products and services.

The Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes includes more than 70 regional, country and industry indexes derived from the flagship Dow Jones Islamic Market World Index. In 2006 the index family expanded to include the Dow Jones Islamic Market India Index, Dow Jones Islamic Market Sustainability Index, which combines Islamic investing principles with sustainability criteria; Dow Jones Citigroup Sukuk Index, the first index to track Islamic bonds; and Dow Jones Islamic Market BRIC Equal Weighted Index, which tracks Shari’ah-compliant stocks in Brazil, Russia, India and China. Islamic blue-chip indexes for Sri Lanka, Dubai and China and Hong Kong were launched last year.

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

There are currently more than 60 licensees with more than USD $5 billion in assets benchmarked to the Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes.

NEW YORK (January 16, 2008) —Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, and Wilshire Associates, a leading global investment services and consulting firm, today announced Bahrain, Kuwait and Sri Lanka will be added to the Dow Jones Wilshire Global index family. The additions will become effective as of the start of trading on March 24, 2008, after the regular quarterly review of the Dow Jones Wilshire Global Indexes.

The inclusion of these three countries to the Dow Jones Wilshire Global index family increases the total number of countries in the index suite to 61.

Bahrain and Kuwait also will join the Dow Jones Wilshire Middle East & Africa Index. Sri Lanka will join the Dow Jones Wilshire Asia-Pacific IndexSM.

Dow Jones Indexes and Dharma Investments to Launch New Faith-Based Indexes

Mumbai, Jan. 15, 2008 -- Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, and Dharma Investments, a leading private investment firm pioneering the development of faith-based investment, today announced the launch of the Dow Jones Dharma Indexes. The new indexes measure the performance of companies selected according to the value systems and principles of Dharmic religions, especially Hinduism and Buddhism.

The Dow Jones Dharma Index series includes the Dow Jones Dharma Global Index, as well as four country indexes for the U.S., the U.K., Japan and India. The indexes are designed to underlie financial products such as exchange-traded funds and other investable products that enable investors to participate in the performance of companies which are compliant with Dharmic religious traditions.

“The Dow Jones Dharma Indexes are the first faith-based indexes created to measure Dharma compliant equities. As faith-based and socially responsible investing continues to grow worldwide, our goal is to provide the investment community with the most comprehensive benchmarks that comply with these principles,” said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes. “The launch of the new Dow Jones Dharma Indexes marks a major step in our effort to further expand our range of faith-based indexes. Dow Jones Indexes pioneered this space by launching the Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes in 1999 - today the leading Islamic market indexes worldwide.”

"We are honored to be serving a demand for faith based investing" said Nitesh Gor, CEO of Dharma Investments. "India and Asia have made remarkable advances economically over the last few years and in parallel we believe that bringing our religious values onto the global stage offers sustainable solutions to the problems facing the world today. The principle of Dharma contains precepts relevant to good conduct, but also the implicit requirement of mindfulness about the sources of wealth - and therefore responsible investing,” he added. “The Dow Jones Dharma Index brings together a combination of environmental, social, governance and traditional sin sector filters. As such, the Index is unique and will not just have appeal to the religious, but to a far broader audience as well. We are also very grateful to the broad array of the most eminent spiritual leaders within the Dharma religions for their continuing involvement and blessings. Their endorsement of this Index gives us great confidence in its authority and eventual success."

The index universe for the Dow Jones Dharma Indexes is defined as the top 5,000 components of the Dow Jones Wilshire Global Total Market Index as measured by float adjusted market capitalization, and all components in the Dow Jones Wilshire India Index. To be included in the Dow Jones Dharma Indexes, stocks must pass a set of industry, environmental, corporate governance and qualitative screens for Dharmic compliance.

Industry screens include unacceptable sectors and business practices. Environmental screens take account of a company’s impact or policies with respect to emissions, climate change and carbon footprint analysis, oil and chemical spills and waste management and recycling. Corporate Governance screens comprise the handling of labor relations/disputes/discrimination allegations, human rights violations, working conditions/wages.

Excluded from the index are companies from sectors that are deemed unacceptable due to the nature of their business activities and operations. Excluded are also companies that have exposure to unacceptable business practices. Some examples of unacceptable sectors are aerospace and defense, brewers, casinos and gaming, pharmaceuticals, tobacco. Some examples for unacceptable business practices are alcohol, adult entertainment, animal testing and genetic modification of agricultural products.

To ensure the quality of the indexes and the integrity of the underlying index methodology, three boards were established to define, build and implement the screening criteria: the Dow Jones Dharma Academic Advisory Committee, the Dow Jones Dharma Supervisory Board and the Dow Jones Dharma Religious Council.

The Dow Jones Dharma Academic Advisory Committee provides guidance and establishes the principles for the methodology. Members include:

DOW JONES INDEXES ADDS OLD NEWS PRINT #8 TO ITS EXPANDING RECOVERED PAPERS INDEX SERIES

NEW YORK (January 10, 2008)—Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today announced the launch of the Dow Jones Midwest (ONP) News #8 Recovered Papers Index, the first transaction-based index that tracks physical transactions of Old News Print (ONP) #8 recovered paper.

The Dow Jones Midwest (ONP) News #8 Recovered Papers Index is part of the Dow Jones Recovered Papers Index series, which is designed to serve as benchmarks for market participants in the recovered paper industry to research and assess price risks and to settle contracts.

News #8 typically commands the highest prices of the four grades of ONP as it contains the least amount of contaminants. It also is the most widely used grade of ONP by recycled newsprint mills, the single largest end user of ONP.

“The Dow Jones Midwest (ONP) News #8 Recovered Papers Index is the latest offering in our lineup of benchmarks of monthly transactions in the recovered paper industry. This growing field requires accurate pricing and risk measurement tools to effectively gauge market activity. We expect the new index to receive wide market acceptance as the leading indicator for this important niche,” said Michael A. Petronella, president of Dow Jones Indexes.

The Dow Jones (ONP) News #8 Midwest Recovered Papers Index is a volume-weighted measure of monthly transactions of News #8 – a grade of recycled paper – that occur in the Midwest region of the U.S. 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 index was 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 belong to a growing 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 also includes the Dow Jones OCC #11 Regional Recovered Papers Indexes.

The Dow Jones Midwest (ONP) News #8 Recovered Papers Index will be available on the 5th 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.
