Press Release Summary: Indian analytics firm Dawnay Day AV Analytics has signed an
agreement with Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) to
provide reports on the European bond markets for its investor education campaign

Press Release Body: London, May 20: Indian analytics firm Dawnay Day AV Analytics
will provide financial research services to the Securities Industry and Financial
Markets Association (SIFMA), a global body of financial market players, to support
the latter's investor education campaign for the masses.

The company, a part of the UK-based Dawnay Day Group, will provide research reports
and commentary on the EU bond markets, enabling SIFMA to extend its coverage of
global financial markets.

Announcing this here, company executive director Shailesh Dhuri said "We are happy
to be part of this noble venture, aimed at educating the masses about investing in
diverse financial instruments available today. SIFMA is already doing its bit for
the US audience (through its website www.investinginbonds.com). It was looking for
support from member organizations to spread the good work. Our services will help it
expand the coverage to the EU audience."

Incidentally, Dawnay Day AV Analytics is the only financial research firm from India
to be a member of this prestigious world body that comprises about 650 securities
firms, banks, and asset managers from the US, Europe and Asia. The company signed an
agreement with SIFMA on April 25 to provide the research support services for an
initial period of 12 months, extendable thereafter depending on mutual consent.

The ongoing endeavour of the association and its members could be seen as part of a
global effort aimed at restoring investor's confidence and widening investor base
following the subprime crisis.

Meanwhile, Dawnay Day AV Analytics, offering high-end research and analytics
services to a global clientele, has achieved another feat of becoming the first in
its category (in India) to obtain ISO certifications for both quality (ISO 9001) and
information security (ISO 27001) under PAS 99 framework from BSI, UK. The company
entered the high-growth financial research services market in late 2005, and
achieved a remarkable growth of over 100 per cent per annum since inception.
