 (INTECH INTECH Institute for New Technologies ) today announced the launch of an international equity capability. The new offering was developed in response to strong demand for an active, risk-managed, international equity capability to complement INTECH's broad range of U.S. and global equity strategies.

The INTECH international equity strategy uses a universe of international securities benchmarked to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI)

This firm publishes a number of well known benchmarks, such as the MSCI World Index.
 Europe, Australasia, and Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index.

The strategy will target an annualized annualized

 average gross return over the long term of between 2.75% and 3.25% above its benchmark index and will complement INTECH's global strategy that launched in early 2006.

"INTECH has concluded that the application of stochastic portfolio theory to a universe of non-U.S. securities can offer investors a product that aims to produce better upside potential Upside potential

upside potential

The potential price or gain that may be expected in a security or in a security average, generally stated as the dollar
 than the market with less relative risk," said Robert Garvy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of INTECH. "We believe the new International Equity strategy will be an attractive option to investors interested in a risk-managed international equity offering."

By capitalizing on the natural price movement of individual stocks, INTECH portfolios seek to offer better upside potential than the market with benchmark-like risk. INTECH has used this process to successfully manage money for institutional investors since 1987, reflecting one of the longest continuous records of mathematical equity investment strategies in the industry.

INTECH's proprietary investment process relies on a precise mathematical methodology rather than fundamental analysis of companies. INTECH begins by identifying stocks with high relative volatility and low correlation to each other. Within specific risk constraints, INTECH identifies target weightings of these stocks in an attempt to take advantage of the natural volatility of stock price movement. The result is a portfolio of stocks that seeks to produce an overall return greater than the benchmark index, but with less downside risk Downside Risk

An estimation of a security's potential to suffer a decline in price if the market conditions turn bad.

Notes:
You can think of this as an estimate of the amount that you could lose on a stock or other investment.
. This structured process results in virtually no style drift.

In addition to the new international equity strategy, INTECH's risk-managed active-equity disciplines include: Enhanced Index, Enhanced Plus, Large Cap Core, Large Cap Value, Large Cap Growth and Global Core.
