The Quantitative Services Group LLC (QSG) Continues its Growth by Adding To Their T-Cost Pro(R) Trading Analysis Team.

NAPERVILLE, Ill. -- Alaric Fontenot joins QSG as a Quantitative Analyst. Alaric's addition, continues the expansion of the dedicated team responsible for QSG's fast growing T-Cost Pro(R) and T-Cost Analyst(R) trading cost analysis services. Mr. Fontenot brings 12 years of Wall Street experience with him. Alaric served at Instinet in Sales & Trading, most notably managing the Trading Research Group, and finally as a manager in the Business Development & Strategy Group. Before, Alaric was a hedge fund analyst with AIG International Asset Management Inc. He earned his BA from Claremont McKenna College.

"The world of trading has changed, but the measures of execution quality have not. QSG is at the forefront of evaluating trading techniques and cost measures through in-depth and real-world analysis. I used their services at Instinet and have always been impressed with their rigor," Said Alaric Fontenot. "I'm happy to join QSG's effort to bring world-class consulting services to the world's leading investment managers. We're not just here to improve trading costs, but to help clients identify best trading practices, as well."

QSG's T-Cost Pro is recognized as the only analytics package fully capable of analyzing the increasing number of algorithmic or automated trading techniques. The service's detailed analysis of time-stamped executions makes it the perfect tool to spot front running and assure 'best execution'. It is also the only product on the market that can identify the cumulative price impact of trading decisions. This patent-pending technique allows QSG to calculate the execution 'footprint' created by a series of executions in the same security.

QSG also offers the T-Cost Analyst service, which simplifies the comparison of transaction costs across multiple managers, trading strategies and brokers. The T-Cost Analyst's unique 'dashboard' helps pension executives and equity managers quickly identify transaction cost 'hot spots'. The dedicated analyst team leverages a number of powerful tick-based execution quality measures that are unavailable from any other provider.
