A New Stock Market Index By the People, For the People

NASDAQ Welcomes the BetterInvesting 100 Index, based on real people's investments

BetterInvesting and The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (NASDAQ®; NASDAQ: NDAQ) have teamed up to offer investors the opportunity to leverage the success of BetterInvesting's more than 13,000 clubs for their own portfolios by creating a new index, the BetterInvesting 100 Index. The BetterInvesting Top 100, a listing of the top companies held by BetterInvesting's investment clubs, has outperformed the Dow Jones Industrial Average by more than 14 percent since March 2003.

The BetterInvesting 100 Index, is the first index based on "real people's" portfolios. These investors, members of BetterInvesting-affiliated investment clubs, use a credible long-term investing methodology and a proven tool, the BetterInvesting Stock Selection Guide, to help pick good growth companies.

We are pleased to collaborate with BetterInvesting, an organization dedicated to helping millions of average Americans make more informed investment decisions," said NASDAQ Executive Vice President John Jacobs. "As a world-class indexer, NASDAQ is uniquely qualified to calculate this new index as a service provider to BetterInvesting." The BetterInvesting 100 Index includes a diverse mix of companies from all types of industries.
