GRAVITY INVESTMENTS AWARDED U.S. PATENT FOR DIVERSIFICATION VISUALIZATION PRODUCT

Firm's Gsphere Portfolio Analysis Platform Provides A New Element Of Control For Investment Managers

DENVER, CO-May 22, 2009-Gravity Investments, a premier financial engineering firm servicing professional investors with diversification measurement, visualization, and optimization technologies, including the Gsphere visual asset allocation platform, has been awarded a patent for its portfolio visualization process.

Gsphere, Gravity's three-dimensional diversification platform, is an optimization and analytic suite that bridges advanced optimization with sales and marketing accents. Central to the award is the notion of what Gravity calls "holistic portfolio visualization".

"This invention represents a substantial advancement in portfolio analysis," said James Damschroder, Founder of Gravity Investments and inventor of the Gsphere process. "The three-dimensional projection of a portfolio allows any investor seeking to create a balanced portfolio to analyze the interrelationships of portfolio holdings in a way never before possible."

Typically, investment portfolio holdings, or entire portfolios, are viewed as a single dot showing its relative attributes juxtaposed against other assets or portfolios. Gsphere's three-dimensional image displays the diversification of the portfolio by transforming the notion of portfolio balance and displaying that balance as symmetry. The end result is the industry's first truly holistic portfolio representation of diversification.

Gravity's innovative approach will benefit virtually every sponsor of investment product, including insurance companies, pension plans, bank trust groups, 401(k) providers, mutual fund companies, foundations, and endowments.

"The essence of superior portfolio building is first-rate asset allocation, and the essence of asset allocation is diversification,"says Damschroder. "Our challenge is to teach people about diversification all over again and about TRUE DIVERSIFICATION™ for the very first time."

The patent represents the first of many sought by Gravity Investments. A new application creating a stir in institutional circles is based on a method to measure portfolio diversification as an independent portfolio trait.

Gravity Investments, the worldwide leader in Diversification Intelligence, is a leader in financial engineering and investment technology. A Denver-based firm, Gravity's Gsphere Portfolio Analysis Platform bridges the gap between traditional asset allocation and diversification optimization, providing clients an unparalleled ability to manage and market investments.
