TheMarkets.com Launches New Global Fixed Income Research Offerings

Optimized search capabilities facilitate access to fixed income research for over 2400 leading investment management companies worldwide

NEW YORK, May 12, 2010 - TheMarkets.com, the premier provider of investment research and workflow
solutions to institutional investors worldwide, today announced the launch of
an optimized search engine designed specifically for fixed income research.
Professional investors in 52 countries are now using the new search
technology to streamline access to credit, rates and structured product
research on TheMarkets.com's web-based platform.

The new search engine is built on a set of intelligent algorithms that
automatically add intelligent tags to all fixed income content provided to
TheMarkets.com by the world's leading brokers and independent research
providers. Customers at institutional investment firms can now search and
screen an extensive database of fixed income research covering high grade,
high yield, mortgages and rates, among other instruments. The new optimized
search engine improves the comprehensiveness of results and enhances the user
experience, while requiring no change in the way customers use the platform.

"Our customers rely on TheMarkets.com to improve the efficiency of their
research processes, so they can spend more of their time evaluating and
acting on investment opportunities," said Amy Kadomatsu, Chief Product
Officer of TheMarkets.com. "That means we need to deliver not only a wide
breadth of content, but also the most effective way to filter through it
quickly. Over the past two years, investors across the globe have been paying
more attention to research across all asset classes, even those outside of
their core investment strategies. With the launch of our new search engine,
searches for fixed income research are now more comprehensive than they've
ever been before, furthering our position as the premier platform clients
turn to for investment research."

Since the search engine is automated, brokers and independent research
providers do not need to make any adjustments to their publication processes,
making the transition to the new engine seamless. The new tagging engine
offers institutional investors improved access to research products through
their preferred platform.
