Comprehensive Company & Relationship Mappings Integrated with Import/Export Data

New York, January 5, 2010 – Revere Data, LLC, an industry leader in financial information services and technology, announced today the addition of the BM&F Bovespa exchange based in São Paulo, Brazil to the Revere International Sector Classification. RISC™ organizes publicly-traded companies into the most detailed and comprehensive sector and subsector groupings available. RISC is a global extension of the Revere Hierarchy™, an unparalleled patented product-based classification system that maps companies by the products and services they sell.

Listed coverage includes 275 companies. Revere also mapped over 500 private companies in order to provide a deeper perspective on the country’s potential in cutting edge chemical, materials, and biotech sectors.

“As investors increasingly seek opportunities outside of the U.S., Revere’s goal is to provide enhanced visibility into leading emerging markets such as Brazil – with strong governance and disclosure standards but only limited research being provided to international investors,” says Kevin E. O’Brien, President & CEO of Revere Data, LLC.

RISC classifies all companies traded on the three major US exchanges, as well as the Toronto, London, Frankfurt, Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Shenzhen stock markets into approximately 1,200 industries, sectors, and subsectors. Competing systems routinely group publicly traded companies into less than 200 sectors and subsectors. Revere’s classification system is based on a time-tested research methodology that identifies the specific subsectors from which a company derives revenues. For example, traditional systems treat all semiconductor companies the same, while RISC separates and classifies semiconductor companies in up to 20 highly-specific subgroups, and highlights those companies deriving a majority of their sales from a particular subgroup.

As part of this new release, integrated geographic revenue exposure data for all BM&F Bovespa companies is available through Revere GeoRev™. Revere GeoRev allows users to quickly identify companies that derive a significant portion of their revenue from exports to specific global regions versus those that focus on their domestic markets.

Revere has also for the first time integrated shipping data into its research coverage, providing clients with the ability to monitor in near-time, shipment activity for 300 public and private U.S. and Brazilian companies importing to and exporting out of Brazilian ports. Users can now query individual bills of lading or perform normalized trend analysis by shipment volume, weight, and content.

“This unique and sophisticated offering provides investors with a new degree of insight into company and sector supply chains,” added Mr. O’Brien. “Clients armed with this data will be able to discover opportunities and manage risk in today’s increasingly complex and interconnected markets in new and innovative ways.

”BM&F Bovespa classifications are available as a stand-alone datafeeds or combined with other RISC datafeeds. They are also available through Revere’s flagship web application, Revere Research™.

Revere’s customers include some of the world’s leading global financial institutions, asset management firms, fund sponsors, corporations, and media outlets.
