New York, July 31, 2008: Julius Finance, the leaders in model fusion for the $58 trillion dollar credit derivatives market, today announced that due to market demand it has launched an independent valuation service for a range of credit derivatives including bespoke synthetic Credit Derivative Obligations (CDOs), CDO2 (CDO squared), CDO3 (CDO cubed), CPPIs, CPDOs, CDPCs and CDSs. The valuation service makes use of Julius Finance's breakthrough research in model fusion which is uniquely able to price such securities by taking account of all market available information through a next generation unified credit model.

With billions of dollars of CDO write downs, investor demand for independent valuation of complex financial instruments has rapidly increased. Julius Finances' breakthrough comes at an opportune moment.
