Dow Jones Indexes And UBS Announce 2010 Weights Of Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index

Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, and UBS Investment Bank announced the new target weightings for the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity IndexSM that will become effective in early January 2010. The new target weights for the commodity components, which were determined and approved by the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Supervisory Committee following consultation with the Dow Jones - UBS Commodity Index Advisory Committee, are listed below.

The target weights are determined in accordance with construction rules described in the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Handbook, which is available for download at www.djindexes.com. These rules combine liquidity and production data in a 2:1 ratio, subject to further requirements as to diversification and minimum weightings. The resulting weights will be used to determine the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Multipliers for 2010 in January 2010.

Launched in 1998, the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity index family includes nine sector sub-indexes, multiple forward month indexes, indexes for each individual commodity in the original DJ-UBSCI, Euro-, Yen-, Sterling-, and Swiss Franc-denominated versions of the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index, and the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Spot Index. Also available are total return versions of each of the excess return indexes and sub-indexes. As of the end of the first quarter of 2009, an estimated $27.5 billion tracked the DJ-UBSCI group of indexes.
