LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 2, 2001

RiskMetrics, a leading provider of risk and wealth management analytics, announced their partnership with Deutsche Bank Deutsche Bank AG (IPA: /'dɔɪ.tʃə/[1]) (ISIN: DE0005140008, NYSE: DB) (English: German Bank  to integrate their (TM) tools into maxblue, the online investment center of Deutsche Bank.

The partnership enables subscribers to the maxblue site to assess the risk on individual stocks and funds and across an entire portfolio. Traditionally, although investors have had access to specific information on returns, there has been limited information available on risk. By offering RiskMetrics' RiskGrades(TM) tools to their maxblue clients, Deutsche Bank is enabling their clients to make better informed investment decisions.

 of RiskMetrics. "In an increasingly volatile market the integration of a risk measurement tool with an online brokerage site like maxblue is becoming ever more prevalent. The two services together provide a powerful combination of information for any private investor," continued Fletcher.

The RiskGrades(TM) measure, devised by RiskMetrics, is the global standard for measuring the risk of the world's financial assets thereby enabling investors to compare risk across asset classes and countries. The concept is simple. The higher the RiskGrade(TM), the riskier the investment. RiskGrades(TM) are on a scale from 0 to 1000 plus, where 0 signifies no risk, for example a cash holding, and a RiskGrade(TM) of 1000 may signify an Internet IPO (Initial Public Offering) The first time a company offers shares of stock to the public. While not a computer term per se, many founders, employees and insiders of computer companies have found this acronym more exciting than any tech term they ever heard. . Like stock prices, RiskGrades(TM) are dynamic and change daily, accurately reflecting market conditions. In addition the RiskGrades(TM) analytics will enable maxblue subscribers to perform "What-If" analysis i.e. measuring the implications of a buy or sell transaction and calculate X-Loss(TM) - the amount an individual might lose during the worst trading days of the year.

"We wanted to continue to offer our clients a first class service, and as a private investor brokerage site, that means ensuring our subscribers have access to the most up to date information and analytical tools - enabling them to make educated financial investment decisions. We believe that the integration of RiskGrades(TM), which is fast becoming the global language of risk, will provide our customers with that capability and we look forward to offering RiskGrades across Europe", said Luca Marighetti, Executive Vice President at Deutsche Bank 24 and responsible for maxblue.
