Press Release

Basis Point Group Granted Trademark for Unrealized Risk^®.

Creates Common Language for firms to describe Potential for Realized Risk.

June 6, 2008 — Basis Point Group (www.basispointgroup.com) announces the introduction of Unrealized Risk^®, a new, tested measure of operational process quality and risk. Applying the concept of Unrealized Risk^® allows firms to access potential for increased realised operations risk. Utilizing the stream of financial events that affect client accounts, it provides a broader and more immediately useful measure for line, middle and senior management.

Unrealized Risk^® is fundamental to Basis Point Group's (BPG's) patent pending OPERA^® Operations Performance Measurement, Attribution and Improvement approach. Developed to compliment Investment Performance Attribution, BPG has created a common language through their OPERA^® methodology to incorporate and exceed the standards all current process controls, regulatory, and risk requirements. Unrealized Risk^® provides a straightforward, quantifiable context for integrating and comparing the numerous quality and risk measures currently in use to manage business.

"Unrealized Risk^® represents both quality and processing risk represented in a single performance index," says BPG Partner Bob Fawls, "This is a major operations advance that allows firms to normalize the results of hundreds of operations and risk measurements into a coherent measurement framework."

Basis Point Group produces operations performance indexes for four major fixed income markets and publishes a number of these indexes monthly in partnership with OpRisk & Compliance magazine. The OPERA^® database currently contains over eleven years and more than two million financial operational events from which Basis Point Group produces a benchmark performance scale, used to determine where individual firms fall in established performance bands.
