Designed to Deliver AXE: Analysis, Execution, and Evaluation

NEW YORK and LONDON, November 15, 2010 - RealTick(R) (www.realtick.com), the leading global provider of
multi-broker, multi-asset electronic trading solutions announced today it
has, in its latest release RealTick 10, delivered a platform which embeds
trading as an integral and essential part of the investment equation. Through
the redesign and unbundling of its platform, RealTick 10 now provides AXE:
analysis, execution, and evaluation - the three critical elements which make
for smarter trading decisions and which result in the opportunity for better
execution and performance.

RealTick 10 is designed to meet the seismic and rapidly changing dynamics
in global markets and trading over the last two years. Starting with the
trading cycle as its basis, it is architected to simultaneously account for
information, access to liquidity, complex orders and strategies, and the
regulatory requirements that buy-side and sell-side traders must consider as
they trade. Traders have complete control over their trades at all times,
with access to the analytics to make smarter trading decisions and the venues
for better trade performance, and the ability to assess and manage risk -
integrated into a single platform. In addition, RealTick 10 now delivers
mobile capability.

As RealTick considered its new release, it undertook a strategic review
of the current market environment, portfolio manager expectations, and trader
behavior and activity. RealTick recognized the importance of trading itself,
as part of the investment management performance equation for buy-side and
profitability for the sell-side.

The result is a platform that sees today's environment more as an
ecosystem - where traders interact with a market that is set within a
climate, with ever changing weather patterns and conditions. RealTick 10
accounts for the breadth and depth of the demands and complexity of this
environment, which consists of AXE: Analysis, eXecution and Evaluation.

For analysis, beginning with an overhaul of the ergonomic interface of
the platform, traders create their own view of the trading environment and
market, and can customize the entire platform (including more than 1,000
discrete fields) based on their strategies and styles. This suits their
preferences and demand for delivery of pre-trade and post-trade analytics
that can lead to better execution in today's hypercompetitive, multi-asset,
and multi-broker global trading environment.

If traders prefer, RealTick 10 now completely unbundles the RealTick
platform, so traders can access the complete suite of RealTick trading and
market data solutions using either the revamped RealTick front end on a
completely customized basis, or using FIX, Microsoft(R) Excel via a new
dedicated RealTick add-in, RealTick's revamped robust developer API, or any
combination of methods.

For execution, and building from this intuitive base, traders now have
more powerful access to "performing" liquidity via RealTick LiquidityScope(TM)
. LiquidityScope(TM) directs and analyzes order performance during execution
and automatically sends orders to more liquid venues.

Further trader control is delivered to execute a variety of complex order
types, including bracketed orders, and spreads & pairs trading using a new
dedicated pairs trading module. These are set by traders with the ability to
optimally organize trading and set defined conditions on execution.
Additionally, equity option traders and risk managers can now analyse and
automatically manage their risk exposure using an included option risk
management module.

For evaluation, with RealTick 10, traders can filter, analyze, and adjust
orders across asset classes and multiple benchmarks; single stock and
portfolio trade performance measurement are included.

In addition, given the demands of global trading, RealTick Mobile(TM)
allows traders to stay in touch wherever they are, offering a mobile
companion to the RealTick trading experience usable on any smartphone device
(e.g. iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, etc.). Traders can monitor outstanding
orders, position updates, and P&L in real-time, worldwide.

These capabilities are supported by advanced pre-trade risk management
monitoring and controls, which are essential in light of recent regulatory
rulings. In addition to determining a risk hierarchy for market and position
based management and control, traders have suitability analysis, exposure
alerts, order entry permission and restrictions, and "fat finger" checks.
RealTick risk management tools and comprehensive global multi-asset order
routing network have been refined over the years, and are now available via
FIX and RealTick API, in addition to the revamped RealTick front end.

Said Stuart Breslow, RealTick CEO: "Trading, risk management, and market
interactions have become ever more complex. Due to competitive pressures, it
is imperative for traders to be able to nimbly respond to market conditions
and stay in touch with their trades as they occur. We set out to unbundle and
repackage our time-tested trading technologies to provide traders with a
platform that delivers what's required to achieve trading alpha. RealTick 10
delivers on that expectation, providing capability that translates into
opportunity for improved trading performance for traders and their firms."
