NASDAQ to Host SPA Press Event on June 11

On June 11, 2008, the NASDAQ and the Structured Products Association (SPA) will co-host a media briefing to discuss why "structured products" represent the fastest growing investment vehicle for American investors.

With nearly 7,000 structured products sold in the United States in the last year, this investment class has been resilient in turbulent markets and nimble in monetizing current market opportunities.

The Structured Product investment class outsold closed-end funds and convertible securities last year and was third behind hedge funds and exchange traded funds in new assets. Structured Products are rapidly becoming a mainstream investment instrument for millions of American investors, taking its place along side mutual funds, exchange traded funds, closed-end funds and stocks and bonds in well-diversified portfolios. This presentation is intended to provide the press with an overview of the structured products investment class and this rapidly developing industry.
