NORBURY FINANCIAL SYSTEMS LAUNCHES RESEARCH LINKS TO ORGANIZE RESEARCH FOR HEDGE FUND INVESTMENT PROFESSIONALS

Breakthrough productivity tool commingles internal and external research into a single repository

Boston, Mass. (April 6, 2006) – Norbury Financial Systems, the premier provider of software solutions related to the internal operations of investment managers, today announced the launch of Research Links. Research Links is the breakthrough productivity tool that automatically integrates contacts, notes, emails, models, sell-side reports, fundamentals and web research in one easy to use application.

Norbury Financial Systems, founded by a group of hedge fund managers representing over fifteen years of experience, helps investment professionals organize the research process in order to make quicker and more informed investment decisions. The founders created Research Links based on a distinct market need to centralize research, minimize knowledge loss and collaborate more effectively with other investment professionals.

“Working as a Portfolio Manager, I found that I was spending too much time trying to organize my research in order to make competitive investment decisions,” said Norbury’s co-founder and CEO, Dan Dykens. “Trying to toggle between Word, Excel and Outlook became very cumbersome – especially when trying to aggregate data into a single printable report. It was out of that personal experience that I decided to develop Research Links to help maximize the effectiveness of the research process and increase efficiency for investment professionals.”

“Research Links clients have found that having the ability to integrate contacts, notes, emails, fundamentals, sell-side reports, and web research in one place, and indexed in a systematic way, adds tremendous value by minimizing knowledge loss and bringing additional relevancy to their research,” said David Earley, President and co-founder of Norbury Financial Systems.

The benefits of using Research Links include:
Centralize emails, contacts, notes, Web research, models, external documents, fundamentals and more in one location.
Minimize knowledge loss by more effectively tracking “web of info”.
Collaborate more effectively in order to ensure that the entire research team is aware of latest research – whether working in the office or remotely.
Retain your firm’s intellectual property in the case of analyst turnover.
Easily aggregate research to present during an SEC audit or when marketing your fund.
Centralize and index research for easy retrieval and cross referencing.
• Maximize the usage of expensive third party research providers.
Access all of your firm’s research while traveling to conferences or visiting management.
