BradyNet Launches Central American Prices, BradyNet Emerging Market Compensation Index, and Two New FORUMs!

Miami, FLORIDA—December 17, 1996. BradyNet Launches Central American Prices, BradyNet Emerging Market Compensation Index, and Two New FORUMs. BradyNet, Inc., a leading publisher of Emerging Market information on the Internet, announces four new features: Central American fixed income prices, the BradyNet Emerging Market Compensation Index, and two new discussion FORUMs; the BradyNet Job Market FORUM and the New Deals in the Pipeline FORUM

For the first time ever, Central American fixed income prices are available on line. This is the result of a cooperative effort between BradyNet and Latin American Financial Services (LAFISE). The endeavor helps bridge the information gap between the once isolated Central American local market and the global cybercommunity. The new listings include data on approximately 50 fixed income instruments from countries such as Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua Guatemala and El Salvador. Through affiliates in each of the Central American republics, LAFISE provides a broad range of financial services to clients requiring brokerage, foreign exchange, commercial and offshore banking solutions. BradyNet, Inc. publishes hundreds of different fixed income prices daily. "This association is ideal for BradyNet and for us. We anticipate a further awakening of the investment community to the potential of this region as a result of this electronic information distribution system. " said Roberto Zamora, president of LAFISE.

BradyNet’s focus has always been to provide innovative services to the Emerging Markets financial community. Under the headline "Help Us to Help You," BradyNet launches the BradyNet Emerging Market Compensation Index (BEMCI). The BEMCI surveys market professionals anonymously on their compensation levels taking into consideration such factors as hours worked per week, vacations, etc. The data will be analyzed based on gender, type of work, seniority, location, educational background, type of employer and so forth. Results will be calculated and published periodically.

BradyNet introduces two new entries to the FORUM format, the BradyNet Job Market FORUM and the New Deals in the Pipeline FORUM. The BradyNet Job Market FORUM is a "sounding board" that allows interested parties to obtain career advice from market professionals. The New Deals in the Pipeline FORUM gives viewers a site to communicate possible new issues in coming to the market. The popular FORUM format is devoted to global discussion of specific topics such as Brady bonds, Eurobonds, and Emerging Market Comments.
