May 3, 2005 -- Clear Asset Management LLC ("ClearAM"), a web-enabled asset management and http://www.clearassetmanagement.com/company/Press/releases/05may02.aspx [strategic investment newsletter]
firm, announced today that it has closed its Series B financing round. The Company also announced that joining the management team are Dan Nathanson as President and Chief Investment
Officer and Raymond Lang as COO and Chief Compliance Officer.
In addition to select angel investors, RPM Asset Management has made a strategic investment in the Series B round. As part of the financing agreement, Clear Asset Management has moved
into RPM's offices at 505 Park Avenue to benefit from shared infrastructure, institutional marketing and intellectual capital. Proceeds from the Series B round will be used to fund
marketing and operating expenses critical to achieve profitability.
This round follows seed capital investment from the Company's founder, Andrew Corn, and from Series A investor and Board Member, Roger Ehrenberg. Mr. Ehrenberg is Managing Director of
Geometric Group LLC, a New York City-based firm that creates, invests in and operates technology-enabled businesses. Mr. Ehrenberg is also the former CEO of DB Advisors, LLC, a Deutsche
Bank affiliate responsible for Deutsche Bank's global proprietary hedge fund activities.
"The closing of the Series B round, the addition of two key management professionals and our strategic relationship with RPM Asset Management are clearly bringing Clear Asset Management
to the next level" said CEO and founder Andrew Corn.
The seed and Series A investments were used to develop a proprietary computer-based stock picking program that has been thoroughly back-tested and running live money since September 2004.
Clear Asset Management's six stock market portfolios (Large, Mid and Small-cap Growth and Value) have, in aggregate, outperformed the S&P 500 by over 290% from September's live money
inception through March 31, 2005. The initial funds also were used to create a sophisticated, proprietary on-line publishing platform and marketing engine to track ads and optimize sell
pages.
In addition to performance, Clear Asset Management differentiates itself from mutual funds by its "clear" and transparent communications allowing it to provide http://www.clearassetmanagement.com/company/Press/releases/05may02.aspx [superior asset management].
