Desjardins Asset Management Deploys Eagle's Data Management Solutions

BOSTON, TORONTO and MONTREAL, May 16, 2011 - Eagle Investment Systems LLC, a leading provider of financial services
technology and a subsidiary of BNY Mellon, today announced that Desjardins
Asset Management, the investment management specialist of Desjardins Group,
the leading cooperative financial group in Canada and the sixth largest in
the world, has implemented its data management solutions on Eagle ACCESS(SM)
for its asset management business.

The key driver for deploying the Eagle platform was Eagle's commitment to
collaborate with Desjardins Asset Management to build out International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) requirements in support of Canadian and
global financial reporting standards that have taken effect. Eagle introduced
IFRS support in its V10.0 software version which was released in 2009, and it
continues to add functionality to further address client needs for
international financial reporting standards. Eagle's data management platform
was selected to provide a foundation for future integration of Desjardins
Asset Management's other applications and business needs.

"Eagle's innovative technology and continued investment in research and
development are reasons we selected Eagle. A significant aspect of this
decision was based on our collaboration with Eagle to support its build out
of IFRS," said Gregory Chrispin, chief operating officer, Desjardins Asset
Management. "Our previous technology was not current with IFRS or the
instrument coverage necessary to grow our business, so it was important for
Desjardins Asset Management to move onto a new data management platform and
investment accounting solution."

"We are seeing significant interest from firms both in Canada and
globally that are seeking systems to improve their operational efficiency and
workflow by implementing a single integrated asset management platform,
rather than working with systems that require multiple integration points and
interfaces," said Mal Cullen, Eagle's head of Canadian Operations and Eagle
ACCESS(SM).
