Revere Data Expands Coverage to Seven Major Latin American Exchanges
GlobeNewswire
2010-07-27

    New Coverage Provides Comprehensive Company Classification,
     Relationships and Geographic Exposure Data for the Region

NEW YORK, July 26, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Revere Data, LLC, an
industry leader in financial information services and technology,
announced today the addition of seven major Latin American stock
exchanges to the Revere International Sector Classification (RISC(TM)),
which now covers companies listed on the Mexican, Argentine, Colombian,
Chilean, Peruvian, Venezuelan and Panamanian stock exchange markets.

Specifically, with this added coverage, Revere's comprehensive
classification systems and supply chain analysis will provide investors
with strategic insights and key business relationships for 575
companies listed on the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, Mercado de Valores
de Buenos Aires, Bolsa de Valores de Colombia, Bolsa de Comercio de
Santiago, Bolsa de Valores de Lima, Bolsa de Valores de Caracas and
Bolsa de Valores de Panama.

This regional expansion follows the recent addition of the BM&F Bovespa
exchange, with 345 major Brazilian-listed companies into Revere's
coverage universe, and is a part of Revere's overall strategy of
increasing its global reach.

"As investors increasingly seek opportunities outside of the U.S.,
Revere's goal is to provide enhanced visibility into leading emerging
capital markets with strong governance and disclosure standards, such
as Latin America," said Kevin O'Brien, President & CEO of Revere. "With
the relative scarcity of research on these markets available to
investors, Revere is committed to filling that gap by providing our
comprehensive and unique way of understanding key business
interconnections within Latin America and with other regions around the
world."

RISC(TM) organizes publicly traded companies into the most detailed and
comprehensive sector and subsector groupings available. RISC(TM) is a
global extension of the Revere Hierarchy(TM), an unparalleled patented
product-based classification system that maps companies by the products
and services they sell. RISC(TM) classifies all companies within the
exchanges it covers into 1,200 industries, sectors, and subsectors.
Competing systems routinely group publicly traded companies into less
than 200 sectors and subsectors.

As part of this comprehensive mapping, Revere provides hundreds of
additional uncovered strategic relationships through Revere
Relationships(TM), which offers a 360-degree view of how a company
creates and transfers value by revealing its interconnecting
relationships of suppliers, customers, competitors and strategic
partners. Revere also provides geographic revenue exposure analysis
through Revere GeoRev(TM), which allows users to quickly identify
companies that derive a significant portion of their revenue from
exports to specific global regions and countries versus those that
focus on their domestic markets.

Revere Latin America products are available as a stand-alone datafeed
and through Revere's flagship web application, Revere Research(TM). In
addition, Revere's indexes are available for third party licensing and
provide an effective way for index providers, exchanges, and fund
sponsors to explore and build differentiated sector and thematic
index-based products.
