Mutual Fund Trading and

Free Mutual Fund Research From Morningstar

Added to the Direct Access Trading Software

Track Data Corporation (Nasdaq NMS: TRAC) has just released version 5.0 of its myTrack online trading software, with some major enhancements that include the ability to trade mutual funds and research mutual funds using Morningstar Quicktake(R) Reports provided by Morningstar, Inc., a leading investment information firm.

myTrack members with trading accounts will now be able to trade not only stocks and options, but also more than 6,500 mutual funds from 432 mutual fund companies. Load, no-load, and low-load funds will all be available, at a flat transaction cost of $25.

myTrack members have always been able to monitor mutual funds by simply entering the fund symbol in the myTrack portfolio page, but now members will also have access to Morningstar Quicktake(R) Reports. By right-clicking on the fund symbol, selecting 3rd Party, and then choosing Morningstar, myTrack members can view a comprehensive report that includes recent fund performance (vs. benchmark index and vs. its fund category), relative risk, top holdings, expense ratio, and the Morningstar Rating(TM).

"A lot of people assume that since myTrack is a direct access trading system for active traders, mutual fund trading is superfluous," said Barry Hertz, Track Data Chairman and CEO. "But even among active traders there are many who own some funds. By offering mutual fund trading, we give our members the opportunity to consolidate all their holdings in a myTrack account."

"There is a natural symmetry for Morningstar to provide myTrack with comprehensive mutual fund data," said Kelly Messman, manager of the Internet Business Development group for Morningstar. "Both have been working with financial institutions and individual investors for nearly 20 years to provide them with reliable information so they can make better investment decisions. When Track Data decided to expand into mutual funds, we felt that it was great fit for us to provide them with the crucial mutual fund research capabilities."
