Quantitative Services Group LLC (QSG) adds New Equity Markets to its International Factor Analyst® Research Service

Naperville, IL - 7 February 2007

QSG, a leading provider of systematic equity analytics for institutional investors, announced today the addition of the following equity markets/regions to its International Factor AnalystÂ® (FA) research service: Japan, the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia/New Zealand. The International FA is an extensive, proprietary web-based library of proven stock selection indicators and their performance. Designed to enhance the global stock selection process of institutional money managers by providing unique and actionable insights across international markets and regions, QSGâ€™s International FA service also includes five original research publications and dedicated analyst support.

â€œSince its launch in December 2005, the International FA research service has provided portfolio managers with the necessary tools to determine the best signals for investment strategies tilted towards the Europe, Australia and Far East (EAFE) regionâ€, stated Tim Sargent, CFA, President and founder of QSG. â€œTo satisfy the needs of our clients, many of whom focus on markets narrower than the EAFE region, or on country specific strategies, we decided to increase the depth and breadth of the International Factor AnalystÂ® Service. Clients can now view performance characteristics such as Information Coefficients, Return Spreads, Factor Turnover, and Seasonality of 250+ factors for Japan, the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia/New Zealand.

â€œEven though equity markets are becoming more integrated, our research indicates that many stock selection signals behave differently across markets; the ability to identify the most powerful signals in different markets would provide a competitive edge,â€ added Mr. Temi Oyeniyi, CFA, Senior Quantitative Analyst and Product Manager. As with our domestic equity research services, the International Factor AnalystÂ® is completely transparent; all 250+ factors are described in words and formulas right down to the specific data item. Clients can also see the theory behind each signal as we have cross-referenced every indicator to our internal academic and journal library of over 3,000 articles,â€ continued Mr. Oyeniyi.

â€œQSG is at the forefront of providing unique solution sets to the investment community and access to this service will be restricted to only 50 institutional clients,â€ added Mr. Sargent. â€œThe expansion of this product marks a new and exciting area of equity research that advances QSGâ€™s global stock selection platform.â€
