PLANO, Texas. – June 10, 2005 -- M^cube Investment Technologies, LLC (http://www.mcubeit.com/) announced that Microsoft Corporation’s Emerging Business Team in its ‘Innovation Starts Here’ publication Vol. 4 has featured M^cube Investment Technologies and its flagship product AlphaEngine®, an innovative vertical-specific solution for investment management.

AlphaEngine®, built entirely on Microsoft technologies, is a Web-based software technology that enables all portfolio decisions using an informed and structured approach. It allows any investor or researcher (pension fund, endowment, foundations, central bank, investment bank research group, fund-of-fund or hedge fund) to evaluate a broad range of investment strategies for any asset class and use these strategies to guide ongoing portfolio decisions (e.g., tactical asset allocation, style, regional and currency allocation, manager allocations, futures across stocks, bonds, cash, currency and commodities). In addition, clients can customize analyses to their specific portfolio structure, benchmarks and policy constraints. The net impact to most funds is often higher returns, better governance and risk management, and operating cost savings.

Commenting on the recognition, Mark Barry, Director US VC and Emerging Business, said “We are pleased to include M^cube in our ‘Innovation Starts Here’ guide to innovative startups using Microsoft technology.” Commenting on the recognition, Dr. Srinivas (Benne’) Bette’ Co-Founder of M^cube Investment Technologies said, “Microsoft has helped M^cube to deliver a state-of-the-art web application that combines sophisticated financial computations with an easy-to-use interface. Microsoft .NET technologies offered us a complete platform that simplified our integration and deployment cycle by at least 30 percent.”

M^cube Investment Technologies LLC, a U.S. company headquartered in Plano, Texas, is a leading developer and provider of decision support products for institutional investment management.
