The new fund is subadvised by Pyrford International, a London-based investment management firm with a strong history of utilizing a benchmark-agnostic, high-quality approach to international investing.

"Broadening exposure to international markets is a strategy that many financial advisors and their clients embrace," said Frank Waltman, executive vice president, product management, at Virtus. "The addition of the Pyrford-managed fund will complement our existing product line and offer our clients greater choice for the international allocation in their portfolio."

The fund invests in 15-20 countries in both developed and emerging markets. The investment process begins with country selection, which Pyrford believes is the greatest driver of alpha and the most significant contributor to beta reduction. At the stock level, a disciplined, fundamental process is employed to identify companies that offer specific value to the portfolio, relative to their potential long-term earnings growth.

"Pyrford is very excited about this new opportunity to make our international equity strategy available to retail clients in the U.S. For more than a decade, our strategy has a proven track record of delivering excellent long-term investment returns with reduced risk," said Tony Cousins, CFA, joint chief investment officer of Pyrford International. "We look forward to working with Virtus in launching this new product and building a long-term relationship that will benefit both of our organizations and, most importantly, our mutual clients."

The fund is co-managed by Cousins; Bruce Campbell, chief executive officer and joint chief investment officer; Paul Simons, CFA, head of portfolio management, Asia Pacific; and Daniel McDonagh, CFA, head of portfolio management, Europe/UK.

ALPS Fund Family Keeps Growing With RiverFront Adoption
September 30, 2010

ALPS Advisors, Inc. (ALPS), a leading provider of advisory solutions to the investment management industry, has announced that shareholders of the RiverFront Long-Term Growth Fund have approved the reorganization of the Fund into the ALPS-sponsored Financial Investors Trust.

The ALPS fund will effectively assume the assets of the RiverFront Long-Term Growth Fund currently offered as a series of Baird Funds, Inc. following the close of business Friday, September 24. The predecessor fund has the same sub-adviser, investment objective, and investment strategy as the new ALPS offering. ALPS had previously registered five share classes, including Investor Class and L Class shares, to reflect the expected fund 'adoption'.

In August, ALPS partnered with RiverFront Investment Group on the launch of the RiverFront Global Allocation Series. The RiverFront Long-Term Growth Fund will round out the Series that currently offers:

RiverFront Moderate Growth Fund,
RiverFront Long-Term Growth & Income Fund, and
RiverFront Moderate Growth & Income Fund.

"We've been looking forward to the arrival of the RiverFront Long-Term Growth Fund to the ALPS lineup," said Corey Dillon, Senior Vice President and Director of Advisory Services for ALPS Advisors, Inc. "The marketplace has enthusiastically embraced the RiverFront investment approach, and we're eager to go forward with the full Global Allocation Series."

Richmond, Va.-based RiverFront was formed in April 2008 by a team of investment professionals from Wachovia Securities, including former chief investment officer Michael Jones, former chief investment strategist, Rod Smyth, former chief equity strategist Doug Sandler, and Pete Quinn, former president of the Private Client Group. Messrs. Jones, Smyth, and Sandler, along with Tim Anderson, RiverFront's Chief Fixed Income Officer, will serve as co-portfolio managers for the Fund.

The $55 million RiverFront Long-Term Growth Fund was launched in October 2008 with an objective of long-term capital appreciation. The portfolio is built around a strategic and tactical global allocation that allocates investments to large-, small-, and mid-cap stocks, international securities, including emerging markets, and other investments. The Fund, similar to all RiverFront-managed offerings, will rely on the firm's proprietary Price Matters™ optimization process for global security selection.

"We're a portfolio management team that's worked together for many years, and we're proud of the job RiverFront has done so far in meeting the needs of advisors and their clients," said Michael Jones, CIO of RiverFront. "We're particularly excited about this partnership with ALPS, and we look forward to success from our combined efforts."

The RiverFront Long-Term Growth Fund will be offered in multiple share classes covering institutional and retail audiences and will be available on most mutual fund platforms and through financial intermediaries.

An investment in the Fund involves risk, including loss of principal.

The performance of the Fund relative to its benchmark will depend largely on the decisions of the RiverFront Investment Group, LLC (the "Sub- Adviser" or "RiverFront") as to strategic asset allocation and tactical adjustments made to the asset allocation. At times, RiverFront's judgments as to the asset classes in which the Fund should invest may prove to be wrong, as some asset classes may perform worse than others or the equity markets generally from time to time or for extended periods of time. The performance of the Fund is related to the economic sectors that RiverFront may choose to emphasize or deemphasize from time to time, as well as to the individual securities selected by RiverFront within those sectors. The investment returns for particular economic sectors will fluctuate and may be lower than other sectors. In addition, the individual securities chosen for investment within a particular sector may underperform other securities within that same sector. Certain stocks selected for the Fund's portfolio may decline in value more than the overall stock markets. The RiverFront Global Allocation Series is not suitable for all investors. Subject to investment risks, including possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Eaton Vance Announces Launch of Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Fund
September 30, 2010

Eaton Vance Management, a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp. (NYSE: EV), announced today the launch of Eaton Vance Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Fund (Class A: EGRAX, Class C: EGRCX, Class I: EGRIX), a new mutual fund managed for total return. Designed to complement traditional asset classes, the new Fund employs a flexible strategy that provides wide-ranging exposure to global investment opportunities, including many typically unrepresented in conventional investor portfolios.

As an absolute return fund, the Fund benchmarks performance primarily against short-term cash instruments and expects to provide returns over the long term that are substantially independent of movements in the stock and bond markets. In making investment decisions on behalf of the Fund, Eaton Vance utilizes macroeconomic and political analysis to identify opportunities throughout the world in both developed and emerging markets. The Fund's investments will normally consist primarily of positions in the debt, currencies and interest rates of sovereign nations. The Fund may also invest in corporate debt and equity, municipal obligations and commodities-related investments. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 40% of its net assets in foreign investments and may have significant exposure to foreign currencies and derivative instruments.

"We're country pickers," said Michael Cirami, co-portfolio manager. "We seek to identify disconnects between a country's fundamentals and the pricing of assets in its investment markets." The Fund's flexible strategy allows for implementation of long positions in markets believed to be strong or improving, but also short positions as well. "Deteriorating markets can often represent some of the most compelling opportunities. Narrower mandates could miss them."

The Fund is managed by Eaton Vance's Global Fixed Income group, also responsible for managing the firm's Global Macro Absolute Return, Strategic Income, Emerging Markets Local Income and International Income Funds, which had combined assets under management of $11 billion as of August 31, 2010. Relative to the original Global Macro Absolute Return Fund, the new Fund differs in two principal respects: first, a reduced exposure to investments in frontier markets, thereby freeing the Fund from capacity constraints that limit growth potential of the original product; and second, the targeting of higher levels of potential return and a willingness to accept commensurately higher performance volatility.

"Our original Global Macro strategy gained wide popularity based on its consistently positive returns, low volatility and low correlation to most other asset classes," said Christopher Remington, Director of Fixed Income Product Management at Eaton Vance. "But investors have expressed significant interest in accessing a higher-return-potential fund that incorporates a similar approach to global markets."

"Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage will own larger and more concentrated positions in countries about which we have strong conviction," said Remington. "The tradeoff with larger exposures is increased potential volatility, though we expect similarly low correlation to traditional equity and fixed-income markets. From a business perspective, the new Fund allows us to build our position as a leading global macro manager."

Portfolio manager Michael Cirami discusses Eaton Vance's global macro investment philosophy and approach to risk management at boston.videolinktv.com/extranet/ev_aug27. A new micro-site, www.eatonvance.com/gfi, provides additional information about absolute return investing and the firm's global macro investment approach.

Eaton Vance is one of the oldest investment management firms in the United States, with a history dating to 1924. Eaton Vance and its affiliates managed $173.3 billion in assets as of July 31, 2010, offering individuals and institutions a broad array of investment strategies and wealth management solutions. The Company's long record of providing exemplary service and attractive returns through a variety of market conditions has made Eaton Vance the investment manager of choice for many of today's most discerning investors. For more information about Eaton Vance, visit www.eatonvance.com.

About Risk – The following is a summary of the primary risks of investing in the Fund. Investments in foreign instruments or currencies can involve greater risk and volatility than U.S. investments because of adverse market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions. In emerging countries, these risks may be more significant. Derivatives instruments can be used to take both long and short positions, be highly volatile, result in economic leverage (which can magnify losses), and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying instrument on which the derivative is based, such as counterparty and liquidity risk. Investments in income securities may be affected by changes in the real or perceived creditworthiness of their issuer and are subject to the risk of non-payment of principal and interest. An imbalance in supply and demand in the income market may result in valuation uncertainties and greater volatility, less liquidity, widening credit spreads and a lack of price transparency in the market. As interest rates rise, the value of certain income investments is likely to decline. Investments rated below investment grade (typically referred to as "junk bonds") are generally subject to greater price volatility and illiquidity than higher rated investments and typically have greater credit risk. Because investments may be concentrated in a particular geographic region or country, the value of Fund shares may fluctuate more than that of a less concentrated fund. The value of commodities investments will generally be affected by overall market movements and factors specific to a particular industry or commodity including weather, embargoes, tariffs, or health, political, international and regulatory developments. A "non-diversified" fund may be exposed to greater risk by investing it assets in a smaller number of investments than a diversified fund. No Fund is a complete investment program and you may lose money investing in a Fund. The Fund may engage in other investment practices that may involve additional risks and you should review the Fund prospectus for a complete description.

Before investing, investors should consider carefully the investment objective, risks, charges and expenses of a mutual fund. This and other important information is contained in the prospectus or summary prospectus, if available, which can be obtained from a financial advisor. Prospective investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing.

SEI Selected by Sands Capital Management to Provide Operational Outsourcing
September 30, 2010

SEI (Nasdaq: SEIC) announced today that it has been selected by Sands Capital Management to provide full-service operational outsourcing for the firm's recently created U.S. mutual fund and Dublin-based UCITS (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) offerings. SEI's ability to provide fully scalable and industry-proven solutions to support both fund structures was a key factor in the selection process for Sands Capital.

SEI's comprehensive mutual fund solution encompasses fund administration, accounting, investor servicing, and distribution services. For Sands Capital's mutual fund offering, the outsourcing services will be implemented through SEI's Advisors' Inner Circle series trust.

For Sands Capital's UCITS fund, SEI will provide Irish trustee and custodial services in addition to fund administration, accounting, and investor servicing. The UCITS directive is a "passport" system that allows managers to operate throughout European Union member nations under a uniform regulatory framework. SEI has established itself as a leader in the UCITS space as more managers utilize the structure to efficiently distribute their funds across, and even outside, Europe. For Sands Capital, the structure allows them to further capitalize on their existing global investor relationships.

"When Sands Capital decided to launch multiple fund structures in multiple markets, they wanted a single strategic outsourcing partner with the experience and solutions necessary to meet their diverse needs," said John Alshefski, Senior Vice President, SEI's Investment Manager Services division. "SEI has invested time and resources in creating a fully scalable platform that provides the integration and continuity across business models and asset classes that our clients need."

Robert C. Hancock, Managing Director, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Compliance Officer at Sands Capital Management, said, "SEI's proven platform and its expertise across fund structures gave us the single platform services we needed to quickly bring our funds to market in the U.S. and Europe without having to build out our own back office processes. Ultimately our partnership allows us to focus on managing money, not infrastructure."

Mirae Asset Global Investments Launches First Mutual Funds in the U.S.
September 29, 2010

Mirae Asset Global Investments, one of the world's largest emerging market equity investment managers, today announced the launch of its first six mutual funds in the U.S. The Mirae Asset Discovery Funds aim to take advantage of the macroeconomic effects currently redefining the world's emerging market economies.

"We are emerging market experts. It's what we do," said Jay (Hun Jun) Jang, President and CEO of Mirae Asset Global Investments (USA). "Because of our global portfolio management capabilities, we are able to offer single-country, regional and global emerging market funds. We look for companies with a sustainable competitive advantage by implementing the research-intensive, bottom-up approach used since Mirae Asset's inception in 1997."

The mutual funds, which have Class A, C and I shares, include:

Global Emerging Markets Sector Leader Fund (MALGX, MCLGX, MILGX)
Asia Sector Leader Fund (MALAX, MCLAX, MILAX)
China Sector Leader Fund (MALCX, MCLCX, MILCX)
Brazil Sector Leader Fund (MALBX, MCLBX, MILBX)
Global Emerging Markets Great Consumer Fund (MECGX, MCCGX, MICGX)
Asia Great Consumer Fund (MGCEX, MGCCX, MGCIX)

Mirae Asset's research concludes that ongoing socioeconomic changes in emerging market nations will continue to support domestic business expansion. Mirae Asset seeks to capture the beneficial impact these macroeconomic effects will have on emerging market equities through the firm's Sector Leader and Great Consumer investment approaches.

The "Sector Leader" Funds

The Sector Leader funds invest in companies that Mirae Asset believes to be capable of achieving or maintaining a dominant position within their respective industries. Mirae Asset judges a company based on the sustainability of its long-term business model and the competitive advantage of its business strategy. Informed by years of on-the-ground research, the firm weighs a stock's potential against a backdrop of the long-term macroeconomic trends in the economy where the company conducts business. The investment strategy employs portfolio construction and risk management techniques designed to broaden each Fund's exposure across a range of industries.

The "Great Consumer" Funds

Mirae Asset defines the "Great Consumer" effect as the collective market force of emerging market nations' rapidly growing middle class. As wealth increases broadly within the traditionally low per capita GDP(1) economies of the world, consumers' newfound purchasing power can help introduce attractive – and in some cases never previously available – investment opportunities. Mirae Asset believes population growth, increasing industrialization, income expansion and other macro trends will help to sustain the rapid growth of many emerging market economies as their middle classes seek to accumulate wealth and pursue a higher quality of life. In fact, a recent McKinsey & Co. report estimated that the emerging middle class currently spends $6.9 trillion annually, and this figure is expected to rise to $20 trillion over the next 10 years.(2)

The two Great Consumer funds employ a bottom-up methodology, investing in companies across a range of sectors that stand to benefit from increasing domestic consumption in the emerging markets. An attractive Great Consumer stock can be found not only among the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors, but also within any industry for which growing domestic consumption can be a catalyst for profits, either directly or indirectly.

Significant Long-Range Themes

Mirae Asset's investment strategy is consistent with the work of many global economists and researchers who have for years tracked the evolution of the world's economies and the major themes that shape them.

With numerous publications in this area, the World Bank estimates that the global middle class is likely to grow from 430 million in 2000 to 1.2 billion in 2030. According to Euromonitor International, consumer spending in emerging markets is forecast to grow by an average annual rate of 10.4% between 2010 and 2020 in U.S.-dollar terms with China, India, Brazil and Russia being the largest consumer markets in terms of total spending.(3) Similarly, the IMF reports that emerging market economies are likely to grow at least twice as fast as the U.S. in coming years, and says that the share of emerging and developing economies in world GDP is expected to overtake advanced economies by 2014.

Mirae Asset, one of the world's most experienced emerging market equity investment managers, has created an innovative opportunity for U.S. investors by designing investable products based on these themes.

Portfolio Management

Mirae Asset's investment professionals in New York, Hong Kong and Sao Paulo manage the six mutual funds. Mirae Asset has made a significant investment in state-of-the-art telecommunications equipment through which portfolio managers around the globe collaborate efficiently and seamlessly. Because the strategies are predominantly bottom-up, Mirae Asset portfolio managers conduct primary research and collaborate with analysts and researchers within the firm to make their investment decisions. As of June 30, 2010, the firm had more than 160 investment professionals worldwide.

Investments in the Funds involve risk, including the possible loss of principal. This press release is not a solicitation to buy nor offer to sell securities. An offering can only be made by prospectus, which can be obtained from Mirae Asset USA.

An investor should consider the Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. This and other important information about the investment company can be found in the Fund's prospectus. To obtain a prospectus, please contact your financial advisor or please call 1-800-335-3412. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Altegris Advisors Launches Managed Futures Strategy Fund
September 28, 2010

Altegris Advisors (www.altegrismutualfunds.com) is pleased to announce the launch of the Altegris Managed Futures Strategy Fund (Tickers: MFTAX, MFTIX). The Fund offers a simple, convenient way for individual and professional investors to participate in Managed Futures through an actively managed mutual fund. Over the last decade, US Stocks lost -17%. Over the same period, Managed Futures gained +122%*.

"Managed Futures have a sustained historical track record throughout a number of major market scenarios," said Jon Sundt, President and CEO of Altegris Advisors and a Co-Portfolio Manager of the Fund. "Until recently, the handful of Managed Futures mutual funds available to investors were primarily passive 'set-and-forget' index based products. The 'best-of-breed' investment managers were typically restricted to investors with high minimum net worth requirements. The Fund allows investors to participate in Managed Futures by investing in an actively managed mutual fund with low minimum investment requirements."

The Fund seeks to achieve positive absolute returns in rising and falling equity markets while experiencing less volatility than major equity market indices. The Managed Futures strategy is designed to capture returns related to trends in the commodities and financial futures markets by investing primarily in securities whose returns are derived from actively managed portfolios.

Key features of the Fund include:

Access to what Altegris Advisors believes are premier Managed Futures investment managers
Actively managed, dynamic portfolio – not a passive index fund
Daily liquidity
Low minimum investment
No investor pre-qualifications
1099 tax reporting
Individual (Class A) and Institutional (Class I) share classes: MFTAX, MFTIX

"The new Fund seeks to meet the growing demand for accessible and trusted alternative investments by leveraging our history in Managed Futures", said Mr. Sundt. "We look forward to continuing to deliver innovative solutions with a singular focus on alternatives."

Please contact Amiee Watts at (973) 784-0025 or amiee@jcprinc.com or Andrea Trachtenberg at (800) 828-5225 or atrachtenberg@altegris.com for more information.

The Altegris Managed Futures Strategy Fund is distributed by Northern Lights Distributors, LLC member FINRA.

MUTUAL FUNDS INVOLVE RISK INCLUDING POSSIBLE LOSS OF PRINCIPAL

The Fund's indirect and direct exposure to foreign currencies subjects the Fund to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. Dollar, or, in the case of short positions, that the U.S. Dollar will decline in value relative to the currency that the Fund is short. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates and the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the U.S. or abroad. In addition, the Fund may incur transaction costs in connection with conversions between various currencies. The Fund will invest a percentage of its assets in derivatives, such as futures and options contracts. The use of such derivatives may expose the Fund to additional risks that it would not be subject to if it invested directly in the securities and commodities underlying those derivatives. The Fund may experience losses that exceed losses experienced by funds that do not use futures contracts and options. There may be an imperfect correlation between the changes in market value of the securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures and options on futures. Although futures contracts are generally liquid instruments, under certain market conditions there may not always be a liquid secondary market for a futures contract. As a result, the Fund may be unable to close out its futures contracts at a time which is advantageous. Trading restrictions or limitations may be imposed by an exchange, and government regulations may restrict trading in futures contracts and options. Because option premiums paid or received by the Fund are small in relation to the market value of the investments underlying the options, buying and selling put and call options can be more speculative than investing directly in securities. Over-the-counter transactions are subject to little, if any, regulation and may be subject to the risk of counterparty default. A portion of the Fund's assets may be used to trade OTC commodity interest contracts, such as forward contracts, option contracts in foreign currencies and other commodities, or swaps or spot contracts. A substantial portion of the trades of the global macro programs are expected to take place on markets or exchanges outside the United States. Some foreign markets present additional risk, because they are not subject to the same degree of regulation as their U.S. counterparts. Trading on foreign exchanges is subject to the risks presented by exchange controls, expropriation, increased tax burdens and exposure to local economic declines and political instability. An adverse development with respect to any of these variables could reduce the profit or increase the loss earned on trades in the affected international markets. International trading activities are subject to foreign exchange risk. The Fund may employ leverage and may invest in leveraged instruments. The more the Fund invests in leveraged instruments, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments. Leverage will cause the value of the Fund's shares to be more volatile than if the Fund did not use leverage. The Fund may take short positions, directly and indirectly through the Subsidiary, in derivatives. If a derivative in which the Fund has a short position increases in price, the underlying Fund may have to cover its short position at a higher price than the short sale price, resulting in a loss.

BNY Mellon White Paper Calls 2010-2020 'The Most Critical Decade' for Investors
September 28, 2010

The financial crisis produced an unprecedented seismic shift in the investing and planning landscape. To achieve their goals in the coming decade, high net worth investors must abandon some conventional ideas and accept the new realities of investing and planning, according to a new white paper released today by BNY Mellon Wealth Management.

2020 Vision: The Most Critical Decade(SM), the white paper describes a landscape that has been fundamentally changed, creating "unprecedented challenges – so many, in fact, that the decade ahead will, in many ways, be the most critical ever."

"Investors today are forced to deal with a profoundly different world that presents them with extreme uncertainty in terms of investing or constructing effective wealth and estate plans," said Larry Hughes, CEO of BNY Mellon Wealth Management. "The reality is that more investors are likely to fall short of their goals than in any time in the past 50 years," he said.

In addressing what it will take to succeed moving forward, 2020 Vision: The Most Critical Decade looks at the forces and causes that are shaping the new reality and prescribes what will be required for investors to successfully navigate a dynamic period of fundamental change. The paper explores the challenges of today's landscape across three principal dimensions:

Investment innovation and rigorous discipline. Unpredictability and volatility will call for a unique prescription that combines innovative thinking with a significantly heightened sense of discipline. Among the key trends driving this are an overabundance of rapidly changing information; sweeping policy changes and unpredictable economic headwinds; and hyper-sensitized market reactions.

Dynamic, seamless planning. The dislocation of the financial crisis made many investors abruptly aware of hidden shortcomings in their existing plans. Faced with the unexpected possibility of not having enough money for the rest of their lives or to leave legacies to children and philanthropic causes, investors must take a more dynamic, comprehensive and integrated approach to wealth planning.

A different quality of client-advisor engagement. Perhaps most far-reaching of the changes to investing wrought by the financial crisis is the degree to which investors must reconsider standard notions of the client-advisor engagement. In forging this new dynamic, investors will need to bring penetrating insights to their assessment of advisors, and advisors will need to use ways to communicate and construct client strategies.

"The key to navigating this new landscape is a holistic approach to investing and wealth planning which cuts across traditional silos," Hughes said. "In order to achieve this, there will be a need for increased communication between the client and advisor in a language that is free of jargon and industry speak and the establishment of trust that will allow advisors to adapt and react to a highly volatile and unpredictable investing environment."

BNY Mellon Wealth Management is among the nation's leading wealth managers, with more than two centuries of experience in providing investment management, wealth and estate planning, and private banking services to financially successful individuals and families, their family offices and business enterprises, charitable gift programs, and endowments and foundations. It is among the top 10 U.S. wealth managers with about $150 billion in private client assets and an extensive network of offices in the U.S. and internationally.

BNY Mellon is a global financial services company focused on helping clients manage and service their financial assets, operating in 36 countries and serving more than 100 markets. BNY Mellon is a leading provider of financial services for institutions, corporations and high-net-worth individuals, providing superior asset management and wealth management, asset servicing, issuer services, clearing services and treasury services through a worldwide client-focused team. It has $21.8 trillion in assets under custody and administration and $1.0 trillion in assets under management, services $11.6 trillion in outstanding debt and processes global payments averaging $1.5 trillion per day.

Standard _ Poor's Releases Details on Selection Methodology for Its US Mutual Fund Excellence Awards
September 28, 2010

Standard & Poor's (S&P) Equity Research has released the details of the quantitative methodology employed to identify top-ranked funds for its recently announced Mutual Fund Excellence Awards, as follows:

The time period considered for is September 12, 2009 (the date S&P Equity Research introduced its new mutual fund research methodology) through August 31, 2010, except for the "New and Notable" award category.

The Fund must be open to retail investors with a minimum initial investment of $25,000 investment or less.

The Fund must have been a fund with an overall S&P ranking of five-star with positive indications for Performance Analytics, Risk Considerations and Cost Factors as of August 31, 2010. Funds that are sector (e.g. Health Care) or regional focused (Latin America) along with Target Date funds were not considered for Awards.

The awards program includes a look back at the consistency of a fund's S&P five-star overall ranking for each week since September 2009.

If multiple share classes of same mutual fund were in the running for an award, the one with greatest assets under management was selected.

Three funds with the highest consistency score in each award category are to be declared Gold, Silver and Bronze recipients of S&P Mutual Fund Excellence Awards, assuming enough eligible funds.

In case of a tie (e.g. multiple funds that have been an S&P five-star each week have a consistency score of 100), the number of individual positive indications for ranking inputs entering into the overall ranking at the end of August will be counted.

A negative indication is counted against the total. For example, if a fund had 9 out of 12 indications as positive, but 1 was negative, the positive indication count would be 8.

The "New and Notable" award category consists only of equity mutual funds with less than a 3-year track record as of November 2010. Share classes of pre-existing funds will not be considered for the award.

About the Standard & Poor's Equity Research Mutual Fund Awards

The S&P Equity Research Mutual Fund Excellence Awards is an annual awards program designed to recognize those US mutual funds that have most consistently achieved the highest overall ranking during the previous measurement year based on S&P's proprietary quantitative research methodology. Among the factors S&P's research methodology seeks to identify are consistent strong performance; high quality holdings as measured by S&P STARS research, S&P Credit Ratings and S&P Quality Ranks; and favorable cost factors.

Cohen _ Steers Closed-end Funds Declare September 2010 Distributions and Announce Level Rate Distribution Policy
September 27, 2010

The boards of directors of Cohen & Steers Closed-end Funds have adopted a level rate distribution policy for the funds and declared third quarter distributions, which reflect an increase in certain funds' regular quarterly distribution rates. Details for each fund's distributions follow. The distributions are payable on September 30, 2010 to shareholders of record on September 24, 2010. The ex-dividend date is September 22, 2010.


Fund	NYSE Symbol	June 2010 Quarterly Distribution Per Common Share	September 2010 Quarterly Distribution Per Common Share	Annualized Yield at Market(1)	Annualized Yield at NAV(1)
Cohen & Steers Closed-End Opportunity Fund, Inc.	FOF	$0.2300	$0.2600	8.2%	7.5%

Cohen & Steers Dividend Majors Fund, Inc.	DVM	$0.1250	$0.2300	8.2%	7.0%

Cohen & Steers Global Income Builder, Inc.	INB	$0.2800	$0.2800	9.7%	9.8%

Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Fund, Inc.	UTF	$0.2400	$0.3600	9.4%	8.0%

Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund, Inc.	RQI	$0.0925	$0.1800	9.6%	7.8%

Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred Income Fund, Inc.	RNP	$0.2000	$0.3000	9.5%	7.8%

Cohen & Steers Total Return Realty Fund, Inc.	RFI	$0.1250	$0.2200	7.6%	6.8%
(1) Yields at NAV and market price are calculated by dividing the annualized distribution rate (based on each fund's September 2010 distribution) by the NAV or market price, respectively, as of September 14, 2010.

Effective immediately, the funds will begin paying regular quarterly cash distributions to common shareholders at a level rate, which may be adjusted from time to time, based on the projected performance of the Fund. At times, to maintain a stable level of distributions, a fund may pay out more than its net investment income, possibly resulting in a return of capital which may be taxable as ordinary income.

The amount of quarterly distributions may vary depending on a number of factors, including changes in portfolio and market conditions. Each fund's distributions reflect net investment income, and may also include net realized capital gains and/or return of capital. Return of capital includes distributions paid by a fund in excess of its net investment income and such excess is distributed from the fund's assets. Under federal tax regulations, some or all of the return of capital distributed by a fund may be taxed as ordinary income.

In addition, distributions for funds investing in real estate investment trusts (REITs) may later be characterized as capital gains and/or a return of capital, depending on the character of the dividends reported to each fund after year-end by REITs held by a fund.

The amount and composition of each fund's distribution is disclosed quarterly at cohenandsteers.com; however, this information may change at the end of the year because the final tax characteristics of all fund distributions cannot be determined with certainty until after the end of the calendar year. Final tax characteristics of all fund distributions will be provided on Form 1099-DIV, which is mailed after the close of the calendar year.

More information is available at cohenandsteers.com.

Standard _ Poor's Releases Details on Selection Methodology for Its US Mutual Fund Excellence Awards
September 24, 2010

The time period considered for is September 12, 2009 (the date S&P Equity Research introduced its new mutual fund research methodology) through August 31, 2010, except for the "New and Notable" award category.

The Fund must be open to retail investors with a minimum initial investment of $25,000 investment or less.

The Fund must have been a fund with an overall S&P ranking of five-star with positive indications for Performance Analytics, Risk Considerations and Cost Factors as of August 31, 2010. Funds that are sector (e.g. Health Care) or regional focused (Latin America) along with Target Date funds were not considered for Awards.

The awards program includes a look back at the consistency of a fund's S&P five-star overall ranking for each week since September 2009.

If multiple share classes of same mutual fund were in the running for an award, the one with greatest assets under management was selected.

Three funds with the highest consistency score in each award category are to be declared Gold, Silver and Bronze recipients of S&P Mutual Fund Excellence Awards, assuming enough eligible funds.

In case of a tie (e.g. multiple funds that have been an S&P five-star each week have a consistency score of 100), the number of individual positive indications for ranking inputs entering into the overall ranking at the end of August will be counted.

A negative indication is counted against the total. For example, if a fund had 9 out of 12 indications as positive, but 1 was negative, the positive indication count would be 8.

The "New and Notable" award category consists only of equity mutual funds with less than a 3-year track record as of November 2010. Share classes of pre-existing funds will not be considered for the award.

ING Global Equity Dividend and Premium Opportunity Fund and ING International High Dividend Equity Income Fund Declare Monthly Distributions
September 24, 2010

ING Investments, LLC announced the monthly distributions on the common shares of two of its closed-end funds: ING Global Equity Dividend and Premium Opportunity Fund (NYSE: IGD) and ING International High Dividend Equity Income Fund (NYSE: IID) (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"). With respect to each Fund, the distribution will be paid on October 15, 2010, to shareholders of record on October 5, 2010. The ex-dividend date is October 1, 2010. The distribution per share for each Fund is as follows:


Fund	Distribution Per Share
ING Global Equity Dividend and Premium Opportunity Fund (NYSE: IGD)	$0.100
ING International High Dividend Equity Income Fund (NYSE: IID)	$0.092

Each Fund intends to make regular monthly distributions based on the past and projected performance of the Fund. The amount of monthly distributions may vary, depending on a number of factors. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions on the common shares may change. There can be no assurance that a Fund will be able to declare a distribution in each period.

The tax treatment and characterization of a Fund's distributions may vary significantly from time to time depending on the net investment income of the Fund and whether the Fund has realized gains or losses from its options strategy versus gain or loss realizations in the equity securities in the portfolio. Each Fund's distributions will normally reflect past and projected net investment income, and may include income from dividends and interest, capital gains and/or a return of capital.

The portion of each Fund's monthly distributions estimated to come from the Fund's option strategy, for tax purposes, may be treated as a combination of long-term and short-term capital gains, and/or a return of capital. The tax character of each Fund's option strategy is largely determined by movements in, and gain and loss realizations in the underlying equity portfolio. Under certain conditions, federal tax regulations may also cause some or all of the return of capital to be taxed as ordinary income. The final tax characteristics of the distributions cannot be determined with certainty until after the end of the calendar year, and will be reported to shareholders at that time.

IGD estimates that for the current fiscal year as of August 31, 2010, approximately 27% of each distribution is characterized as net investment income and 73% characterized as short-term capital gain.

IID estimates that for the current fiscal year as of August 31, 2010, approximately 23% of each distribution is characterized as net investment income and 77% characterized as short-term capital gain.

Certain statements made on behalf of the Funds in this release are forward- looking statements. The Funds actual future results may differ significantly from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including but not limited to a decline in value in equity markets in general or the Funds investments specifically. Neither the Funds nor ING undertake any responsibility to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statement.

ING Investments, LLC, the manager of the Funds, is part of ING, a global financial institution of Dutch origin offering banking, investments, life insurance and retirement services to over 75 million private, corporate and institutional clients in more than 50 countries. With a diverse workforce of about 125,000 people, ING comprises a broad spectrum of prominent companies that increasingly serve their clients under the ING brand.

LV Announces Strong Performance in First Half of 2010
September 21, 2010

LV=, the mutual insurance, retirement and investment group, has announced a strong performance in the first half of 2010, with sales and trading profits significantly up on the same period of 2009.

Life cover sales are up 40% to 63.5m pounds Sterling on an APE (Annual Premium Equivalent) basis, compared to 45.2m pounds in the first half of 2009. This includes retirement business seeing a 36% increase with an APE of 48.3 pounds (H1 2009: 35.4m pounds) while protection and savings businesses saw a 55% increase with an APE of 15.2m pounds (H1 2009: 9.8m pounds).

General insurance GWP (Gross Written Premiums) were up 37% to 546.4m pounds (H1 2009: 397.5m pounds), this includes including new business GWP up by 39% to 85.0m pounds (H1 2009: 61.3m pounds). The results also confirm that LV= is now fourth biggest private car insurer (according to FSA returns 2009).

In asset management (LVAM), investment performance shows continued strong outperformance against benchmark for the with-profits portfolio. 85% of eligible funds are ranked in the first or second quartile of their peer groups for performance in the first six months of 2010 while H1 2010 sales exceed the total for 2009 (excluding third party institutional sales).

Mike Rogers, LV= group chief executive, commented: "Although the market environment remains challenging, our focus has paid off enabling us to continue to grow profitably across the LV= Group. Our trading performance in terms of both sales and profitability was significantly up on the same period last year.

"In the life business, pensions and annuities spearheaded a strong performance, driven partly by legislation change moving the retirement age from 50 to 55. Profitability in life was also enhanced by improved cost control and by our development of new IFA accounts.

"In general insurance, both the direct and broker channels performed strongly. We have taken the opportunity in current market conditions to combine increased rates with growth in business volumes and this has driven improved profitability.

"Investment performance for our with-profits policyholders was ahead of benchmark. In addition, our development of a strong retail fund management franchise continues successfully, boosted by the significant increase in Standard & Poor's and Citywire ratings achieved for our funds and fund managers.

"Market conditions in the second half of 2010 remain challenging but we expect our market focus and cost control will continue to deliver trading profit growth in the second half."

Notes to editors:

APE = Annual Premium Equivalent

This is a measure comprising new regular premium sales plus 10 per cent of single premiums.

John Hancock Retirement Plan Services Hosts Webcasts with Fred Reish
September 16, 2010

John Hancock Retirement Plan Services (RPS) is working to help its partners -- third party administrators (TPAs), financial representatives and registered investment advisors (RIAs) -- understand their responsibilities in the recently-passed DOL disclosure requirements under section 408(b)(2), which are designed to help plan fiduciaries assess the reasonableness of the service provider's contract with the plan and any potential for conflicts of interest.

The regulation, which becomes effective on July 16, 2011, generally requires enhanced fee, compensation, and service and fiduciary disclosures from service providers. To help its partners understand and address these changes, John Hancock RPS has engaged ERISA attorney and industry expert, Fred Reish, to conduct three CE educational webinars -- one tailored to each partner audience.

"The DOL's intent is to make it easier for plan fiduciaries to compare and review plan fees and services. How this is achieved by providers will differ, given their distinct roles in the 401(k) industry," said Reish. "My goal for each webinar is to give John Hancock's partners what they need to know to ready their respective businesses."

The webcasts are the latest educational tools among John Hancock RPS's resources for intermediaries and plan sponsors. Others include a newsletter, Regulatory Update, that keeps financial representatives and TPAs informed of regulatory change and a dedicated legislative and regulatory information section on John Hancock partner and plan sponsor websites.

To further support its partners, John Hancock also commissioned Fred Reish to draft three sample service agreements and disclosure materials reflecting changes under the regulation -- one for TPAs, Broker/Dealer firms and independent insurance advisors.

"Compliance with DOL disclosure requirements under 408(b)(2) will be dependent on the industry learning about and preparing for the changes," continued Reish. "The 408(b)(2) disclosure documents provide substantial support to John Hancock RPS's partners."

"We've long considered education on matters critical to the industry a part of what we offer as a provider," said Ed Eng, Senior Vice President, Product Development, John Hancock RPS. "The DOL disclosure requirements are important to all parts of our industry and we're pleased that Fred Reish will share his considerable insight and recommendations during our webcasts."

Financial representatives, TPAs or RIAs interested in more information on the webcasts can contact the John Hancock Retirement Plan Services Sales Desk at 1-877-346-8378.

Minority-Owned Fund Captures Positive Mortgage Performance
September 15, 2010

On July 31st UCM Partners, a private, minority-owned fixed income investment boutique with approximately $1.7 billion in assets under management, marked the one year anniversary of their Opportunistic Mortgage Strategy Fund (Fund). The Fund, which exceeded its absolute return target of 12% to 15% by more than double in its first year and currently has approximately $60 million in assets under management, is designed to capitalize on undervalued debt obligations, primarily within the residential mortgage-backed securities market. UCM Partners, which was founded in 1992, launched the Fund in August 2009 after a 10+ year successful track record in dedicated mortgage-backed securities (MBS) strategies.

The Fund is managed by UCM Partner's Chief Investment Officer, Jay Menozzi, CFA and Portfolio Managers Boris Peresechensky, CFA and Vesta Marks, CFA. The Fund's performance since inception is a result of an investment process based on UCM's proprietary analytical models developed to capitalize on undervalued cash flows of securities at the top of the capital structure within the residential MBS market.

"We are excited about the performance of our flagship fund as well as our overall platform of fixed income investment management products. We are well positioned with an experienced team, a strong and distinct investment process, a broadening platform of investment products based on our MBS experience and strong strategic partnerships, and of course our outstanding roster of institutional and fund investors," says Greg Parsons, UCM's CEO since May of this year after serving as the firm's COO.

UCM's CIO attributes the Fund's initial success to a combination of an improving market for non-agency MBS jumpstarted in part during 2009 by a number of government programs, along with UCM's quantitatively-based investment process for stress testing and valuing MBS cash flows at the loan level.

About UCM Partners

Founded in 1992, UCM Partners is an MBE certified and SEC registered private, minority-owned boutique investment advisory firm and an independent provider of fixed income investment management to the institutional and wealth management investment community. Headquartered in New York City, the firm also has offices in Orlando and Philadelphia. For more information, please visit www.ucmpartners.com.

Aberdeen Global Income Fund, Inc. Announces Payment of Monthly Distribution
September 13, 2010

Aberdeen Global Income Fund, Inc. (NYSE Amex: FCO) (the "Fund"), a closed-end bond fund, today announced that it paid on September 10, 2010, a monthly distribution of US 7.0 cents per share to all shareholders of record as of August 31, 2010.

Under U.S. tax rules applicable to the Fund, the amount and character of distributable income for each fiscal year can be finally determined only as of the end of the Fund's fiscal year. However, under Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and related Rules, the Fund may be required to indicate to shareholders the source of certain distributions to shareholders.

The following table sets forth the estimated amounts of the sources of the distribution for purposes of Section 19 of the 1940 Act and the Rules adopted thereunder. The table includes estimated amounts and percentages for this distribution and for the cumulative distributions paid year to date, from the following sources: net investment income; net realized short-term capital gains; net realized long-term capital gains; and return of capital. The estimated composition of the distributions may vary from month to month because the estimated composition may be impacted by future income, expenses and realized gains and losses on securities.


	Estimated Amounts of Current Monthly Distribution per share ($)	Estimated Amounts of Current Monthly Distribution per share (%)	Estimated Amounts of Fiscal Year to Date Cumulative Distributions per share ($)	Estimated Amounts of Fiscal Year to Date Cumulative Distributions per share (%)
Net Investment Income	$0.0700	100%	$0.7000	100%
Net Realized Short- Term Capital Gains	-	-	-	-
Net Realized Long- Term Capital Gains	-	-	-	-
Return of Capital	$0.0000	0%	$0.0000	0%
Total (per common share)	$0.0700	100%	$0.7000	100%

The Fund may estimate that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with "yield," "income" or "profit."

The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The final determination of the source of all distributions in 2010 will be made after year-end. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of the fiscal year and may be subject to change based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

The following table provides information regarding the Fund's total return performance based on net asset value (NAV) over various time periods as well as the Fund's annualized and cumulative distribution rates.


Average Annual Total Return on NAV for the 5 Year Period Ending 08/31/10	6.62%
Current Fiscal Period's Annualized Distribution Rate on NAV(1)	6.87%
Fiscal Year to Date (11/01/2009 to 08/31/2010)
Cumulative Total Return on NAV	11.05%
Cumulative Distribution Rate on NAV(1)	5.73%
(1) Based on the Fund's NAV as of August 31, 2010.

While NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund's investment performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder's investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder's investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund's market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund's shares in the open market. Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of the Fund's current distributions or from the terms of the distribution policy (the "Distribution Policy"), which is to provide investors with a stable monthly distribution.

Pursuant to an exemptive order granted to the Fund by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 14, 1999, the Fund may distribute any long-term capital gains more frequently than the limits provided in Section 19(b) under the 1940 Act and Rule 19b-1 thereunder. Therefore, distributions paid by the Fund during the year may include net income, short-term capital gains, long-term capital gains and/or a return of capital. Net income dividends and short-term capital gain dividends, while generally taxable at ordinary income rates, may be eligible, to the extent of qualified dividend income earned by the Fund, to be taxed at a lower long-term capital gains rate. If the total distributions made in any calendar year exceed investment company taxable income and net capital gain, such excess distributed amount would be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits. Distributions in excess of the earnings and profits would first be a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the adjusted tax basis in the shares. After such adjusted tax basis is reduced to zero, the distribution would constitute capital gain (assuming the shares are held as capital assets).

The payment of distributions in accordance with the Distribution Policy may result in a decrease in the Fund's net assets. A decrease in the Fund's net assets may cause an increase in the Fund's annual operating expenses and a decrease in the Fund's market price per share to the extent the market price correlates closely to the Fund's net asset value per share. The Distribution Policy may also negatively affect the Fund's investment activities to the extent that the Fund is required to hold larger cash positions than it typically would hold or to the extent that the Fund must liquidate securities that it would not have sold or hold securities that it would liquidate, for the purpose of paying the distribution. The Distribution Policy may, under certain circumstances, cause the amounts of taxable distributions to exceed the levels required to be distributed under the Code (i.e., to the extent the Fund has capital losses in any taxable year, such losses may be carried forward to reduce the amount of capital gains required to be distributed in future years; if distributions in a year exceed the amount minimally required to be distributed under the tax rules, such excess will be taxable as ordinary income to the extent loss carryforwards reduce the required amount of capital gains distributions in that year). The Fund's Board of Directors has the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Distribution Policy at any time. The amendment, suspension or termination of the Distribution Policy may affect the Fund's market price per share. Investors should consult their tax advisor regarding federal, state and local tax considerations that may be applicable in their particular circumstances.

September 13, 2010

Charterhouse Group, Inc.

Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, Chamberlin Edmonds is a leading provider of government program eligibility and enrollment services to over 200 acute care facilities in 30 states.

Emdeon Inc. is a leading provider of healthcare revenue and payment cycle management solutions. The transaction will be financed through the use of unrestricted cash and borrowings under an amendment to Emdeon's existing credit facility that will be established simultaneously with the closing of the transaction. In connection with the credit facility amendment, Emdeon has entered into an incremental $100 million financing commitment with Citigroup Global Markets Inc.

Under the investors' ownership, the Company experienced rapid organic growth through the expansion of its hospital customer base and the launching of complementary service offerings.

C. Taylor Cole, Jr., Managing Director at Charterhouse, William F. Miller, III, Operating Partner at Highlander Partners, Curtis S. Lane, Senior Managing Director at MTS Health Investors and Christopher J. Garcia, Member of the Investor Group and Chairman of the Company, collectively commented, "Chamberlin Edmonds is another example of our consistent strategy of partnering with seasoned executives and providing the financial and strategic resources necessary to help companies realize accelerated, profitable growth. We would like to thank Ulrich and his team for all the hard work and dedication they exhibited in leading Chamberlin Edmonds over the past several years. We are confident that the management team will have continuing success with Emdeon."

"Chamberlin Edmonds has created a scalable technology-enabled service delivery platform that blends national reach and perspective with local delivery and knowledge," said T. Ulrich Brechbuhl, president and chief executive officer for Chamberlin Edmonds & Associates. "By joining Emdeon, we are significantly better positioned to offer the full suite of tools, technologies, services and expertise required to build an optimized eligibility process, from screening through enrollment and cash recovery, to hospitals nationwide."

For the six-months ended June 30, 2010, Chamberlin Edmonds' revenue was approximately $46.3 million. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2010. The Company was advised by Robert W. Baird & Co. and Bryan Cave LLP. Charterhouse was advised by Proskauer Rose LLP.

Huntington Economist Says U.S. Economy Vulnerable but Growth Expected to Continue Through 2011
September 9, 2010

Although the U.S. economy is still vulnerable, a "double-dip" recession is unlikely with slow-to-moderate growth continuing this year and gradually accelerating in 2011, according to a U.S. economic forecast released by George Mokrzan, senior economist for Huntington Bank (Nasdaq: HBAN; www.huntington.com).

"The economy is especially vulnerable when it comes to additional negative economic shocks, whether they come from credit markets, the geo-political environment, the policy environment or other unforeseeable areas," Mokrzan said.

Mokrzan sees the probability of a double-dip recession at 26 percent this year.

Following are highlights from the forecast:

Good News for U.S. Businesses: Corporate profits are close to achieving a new U.S. record high, with strong growth in both manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors, Mokrzan said. He added that info-tech spending in information processing equipment and software is 63 percent higher than it was at the peak of the technology boom in 2000. In addition, confidence has increased due to recent credit market improvements coming from proactive policies in Europe aimed at reducing sovereign debt risks. Exports are also on the rise. "Exports hold the greatest potential for economic growth and opportunity in the U.S. in the next decade, especially as wage levels rise in emerging markets," Mokrzan said.

Consumer Spending Still Sluggish: Although housing prices are improving and interest rates remain low, consumer spending remains sluggish because of a weak labor market and concerns about an increasingly glum U.S. government debt outlook, Mokrzan said. He added that tax cuts would help spark spending, but are challenging to implement due to the high level of government debt. "Consumers are concerned about national spending and debt as well as personal spending and debt. Ultimately, they will have to pay for both," Mokrzan said.

Deflation Not Likely: Although there is some risk of deflation, mainly from slowing money supply growth, it is not likely, Mokrzan said. He added that since the Federal Reserve knows how detrimental deflation would be, they already have tools in place to 'inflate' the economy as needed.

Visit HuntingtonFunds.com for the full forecast. It includes detailed information on key economic indicators and factors that may affect economic growth.

About George Mokrzan

For more than a decade, George Mokrzan has provided economic analysis and forecasting for Huntington Bancshares Incorporated. He has accurately forecasted many upturns and downturns in the economy since the late 1990s, including the current recovery. As far back as late 2005 and early 2006, he was one of the few economists who accurately predicted the national housing correction, and the cyclical slowdown in the economy that it fostered.

Mokrzan earned his doctorate in macroeconomics, international economics and econometrics from Duke University in 1990. He earned a master's degree in economics from Duke University and a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Rochester.

John Hancock Advisers, LLC Provides Statement on Additional Auction Rate Preferred Lawsuit and Related Matters
September 9, 2010

John Hancock Advisers, LLC announced today that on August 30, 2010, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the Superior Court of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Suffolk County, with respect to John Hancock Tax-Advantaged Dividend Income Fund (NYSE: HTD), a leveraged John Hancock closed-end fund. The complaint is substantially similar to the one that was filed by the same law firm with respect to John Hancock Preferred Income Fund III (NYSE: HPS) on August 24, 2010, and was filed against John Hancock Advisers, LLC, HTD's adviser ("JHA"), JHA's parent company Manulife Financial Corporation, and certain of the Trustees, executive officers and portfolio managers of HTD in connection with the redemption of auction preferred shares of HTD ("APS"). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the named defendants breached their fiduciary duties to HTD and its common shareholders by redeeming APS at their liquidation preference and alleges that such redemptions caused losses to HTD and its common shareholders. The plaintiffs are seeking monetary damages for the alleged losses and certain other relief.

As previously announced, John Hancock Patriot Premium Dividend Fund II (NYSE: PDT), another leveraged John Hancock closed-end fund, received a demand letter from the same law firm that filed the complaints with respect to HTD and HPS on behalf of a putative common shareholder of PDT. That demand letter similarly alleged that JHA and certain of the Trustees, executive officers and portfolio managers of PDT breached their fiduciary duties to PDT by redeeming Dutch Auction Rate Transferable Securities Preferred Stock at their liquidation preference and demands that the Board of Trustees take action to remedy those alleged breaches. No shareholder derivative complaint has been filed with respect to PDT at this time.

Chris Fasciano, Chief Investment Officer, and Tim Buckley, Senior Portfolio Manager, have primary responsibility for the Fund's day-to-day management. Mr. Fasciano and Mr. Buckley have a working relationship that spans more than a decade and both have more than 20 years of investment experience.

Needles Jr., President and CEO of American Beacon Advisors. "Coupled with our own deep industry experience and relationships, this partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to providing a wide variety of investment opportunities for the benefit of our clients."

Evercore selects securities of companies with market capitalizations of $3 billion or less, at the time of investment, that it believes are selling at a discount to their underlying value and have the potential to outperform their benchmark. It seeks securities of companies that are at the low end of their historical valuation range, have business catalysts that will cause other investors to recognize the undervaluation and are led by management teams that can execute the company's plans and realize the company's growth.

"Evercore makes high-conviction investments by applying rigorous independent thinking and in-depth research focused strictly on the fundamentals. We are very pleased to provide our approach to identifying inherent value to American Beacon's clients," said Chris Fasciano, Chief Investment Officer for Evercore's Small- and Mid-Cap Core team.

John Hancock Closed-End Funds Declare Quarterly Distributions
September 7, 2010

The four John Hancock closed-end funds listed below declared their quarterly distributions today as follows:

Declaration Date:	September 1, 2010
Ex Date:	September 9, 2010
Record Date:	September 13, 2010
Payment Date:	September 30, 2010


Ticker	Fund Name	Amount	Change From Previous Quarter	Market Price as of 08/31/2010	Annualized Current Distribution Rate at Market
HTY	Tax-Advantaged Global Shareholder Yield Fund	$0.3600	-	$12.25	11.76%
JHI	Investors Trust	$0.4985	-$0.0493	$21.40	9.32%
JHS	Income Securities Trust	$0.2916	-$0.0111	$15.06	7.75%
BTO*	Bank and Thrift Opportunity Fund	$0.2231**	-$0.0292	$13.96	6.39%

*Bank and Thrift Opportunity Fund declared its quarterly distribution pursuant to the Fund's managed distribution plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, the Fund makes quarterly distributions of an amount equal to 1.25% of the Fund's net asset value ("NAV"), based upon an annual rate of 5% as of each measuring date. The amount of each quarterly distribution is determined based on the NAV of the Fund at the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the last business day of the month ending two months prior to each quarterly declaration date.

Distributions under the Plan may consist of net investment income, net realized long-term capital gains, net realized short-term capital gains and, to the extent necessary, return of capital. However, the Plan intends to fund each distribution, to the extent possible, in a tax-advantaged manner through the realization of long-term capital gains where the distribution amount exceeds net investment income. The Fund will seek to realize capital gains for this purpose in a manner which the Adviser and Subadviser believe is consistent with prudent portfolio management and the investment objective, policies and guidelines of the Fund. The Fund may also make additional distributions (i) for purposes of avoiding federal income tax on the Fund of investment company taxable income and net capital gain, if any, not included in such regular distributions and (ii) for purposes of avoiding federal excise tax of ordinary income and capital gain net income, if any, not included in such regular quarterly distributions.

**This distribution amount is based on the Fund's NAV of $17.85 as of July 30, 2010, the Fund's third quarterly measuring date.

A portion of a Fund's current distribution may include sources other than net investment income, including a return of capital. Investors should understand that a return of capital is not a distribution from income or gains of a Fund. As required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, a notice with the estimated components of the distribution will be mailed to shareholders at the time of payment if it does not consist solely of net investment income. At this time, one or more of the Funds anticipates that the notice accompanying the current distribution will include an estimate of return of capital. Such notice will also be posted to the Funds' website at www.jhfunds.com. The notice should not be used to prepare tax returns as the estimates indicated in the notice may differ from the ultimate federal income tax characterization of distributions. After the end of each calendar year, investors will be sent a Form 1099-DIV informing them how to report distributions received during that year for federal income tax purposes.

Statements in this press release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements as defined by the United States securities laws. You should exercise caution in interpreting and relying on forward-looking statements because they are subject to uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Fund's control and could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

John Hancock Global Opportunities Fund Named Top Global Equities Fund in Annual Bloomberg Markets Ranking
September 7, 2010

The John Hancock Global Opportunities Fund (JGPAX) won the #1 spot among global equities funds as determined by Bloomberg Markets Magazine in its annual rankings, published in the October issue. With a 30.7 percent total return for the year ending June 30 and a 10.2 percent five-year total return, the Global Opportunities Fund posted the top score of 97.7 in the overall Bloomberg rankings.

MFC Global Investment Management's Christopher H. Arbuthnot, CFA, is the lead portfolio manager for the Fund.

In addition, the John Hancock Strategic Income Fund (JHFIX) placed sixth among top global bond funds, with a score of 73.2 points, in the Bloomberg rankings. Managed by MFC Global Investment Management (MFC GIM) senior portfolio managers Daniel S. Janis III and Thomas C. Goggins, the fund posted a one-year total return of 19.3 percent, 6.9 percent for three years, and 5.8 percent for five years.

"We're pleased with Bloomberg's recognition of outstanding performance by these MFC Global Investment Management sub-advised funds," said Keith F. Hartstein, President & CEO. "The Global Opportunities and Strategic Income funds are a reflection of the overall excellence of the John Hancock family of funds today. Through our partnership with MFC GIM and 11 other world-class sub-advisors, we are committed to providing access to premier institutional investment strategies which will help shareholders meet their investment goals and objectives."

Bloomberg's mutual fund rankings include only active, open-end, U.S.-domiciled funds with more than $250 million in total assets. Excluded in the rankings were institutional-class, index, sector and market-neutral funds. For the global equity and global bond rankings, the universe was limited to funds with at least one-third of their assets invested outside the U.S. The Bloomberg scoring model included five equally weighted criteria: total returns for one, three and five years, and Sharpe ratios for three and five years, all as of June 30. Sharpe ratios were added because they show how well the return of a fund compensates investors for the risk taken.

In addition to the Bloomberg rankings, the Wall Street Journal's monthly Mutual Fund Review for September 2010 ranked John Hancock Global Opportunities as a "Category King," claiming the top spot of the Global Stock category for its year to date return. The John Hancock High Yield Fund was also a "Category King," ranked among the top High Yield Taxable funds for its year to date performance.

Aberdeen Emerging Markets Telecommunications Fund, Inc. Announces Change to Name and Non-Fundamental Investment Policies
September 7, 2010

Aberdeen Emerging Markets Telecommunications Fund, Inc. (NYSE AMEX: ETF) (the "Fund") today announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has approved changes to certain non-fundamental investment policies of the Fund. As a result of these policy changes, the Fund will emphasize both emerging markets telecommunications and infrastructure equity and debt securities.

In connection with these changes in non-fundamental investment policies, the Fund will change its name to reflect its new portfolio characteristics. The new name of the Fund will be Aberdeen Emerging Markets Telecommunications and Infrastructure Fund, Inc. The Fund will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange AMEX under its current ticker symbol and there will be no change in the Fund's cusip number.

The current and amended versions of the Fund's non-fundamental investment policies that are being revised and/or added are as follows:


Current	Amended
Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, will be invested in equity securities of emerging markets telecommunications companies.	Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, will be invested in equity and debt securities of emerging markets telecommunications companies and of infrastructure companies.
--	Under normal market conditions, at least 20% (but not more than 24.9% at the time of purchase) of the Fund's net assets will be invested in equity and debt securities of companies in the infrastructure industry.

The Fund also has a fundamental investment policy to invest, under normal market conditions, at least 65% of its total assets in equity securities of telecommunications companies in emerging markets. Such fundamental investment policy is not changing and may only be changed upon shareholder approval.

Aberdeen Asset Management Investment Services Limited ("AAMISL"), the Fund's investment adviser, and the Board each believe that the changes to the Fund's non-fundamental investment policies are in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders and will permit the Fund to continue to achieve its investment objective. The approved changes will not alter the Fund's investment objective of seeking long-term capital appreciation.

The Fund is required to provide shareholders 60 days' notice of a change to its non-fundamental investment policy of investing in equity securities of emerging markets telecommunications companies. Accordingly, a notice describing the changes discussed above will be mailed to shareholders of record as of September 1, 2010. The notice will also generally describe certain risks relating to the Fund's new investment policies. Following the prescribed 60-day notice period, Aberdeen anticipates a gradual repositioning of the Fund's portfolio over time, which is expected to result in the realization of gains for tax purposes. At this time, the duration of the repositioning is not determined. No action is required by shareholders of the Fund in connection with these changes.

Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund August 2010 Distribution
September 6, 2010

Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund (NYSE: EOI) today announced important information concerning its distribution declared in August 2010. This press release is issued as required by the Fund's managed distribution plan (Plan) and an exemptive order received from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board of Trustees has approved the implementation of the Plan to make monthly cash distributions to common shareholders, stated in terms of a fixed amount per common share. This information is sent to you for informational purposes only and is an estimate of the sources of the August distribution. It is not determinative of the tax character of the Fund's distributions for the 2010 calendar year. Shareholders should note that the Fund's total regular distribution amount is subject to change as a result of market conditions or other factors.

The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this notice are estimates, are not being provided for tax reporting purposes and the distribution may later be determined to be from other sources including realized short-term gains, long-term gains, to the extent permitted by law, and return of capital. The actual amounts and sources for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

Distribution Period: August 2010

Distribution Amount per Common Share: $0.1164

The following table sets forth an estimate of the sources of the Fund's August distribution and its cumulative distributions paid this fiscal year to date. Amounts are expressed on a per common share basis and as a percentage of the distribution amount.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE: You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund's Plan. The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with 'yield' or 'income.' The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this Notice are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for accounting and/or tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

Set forth in the table below is information relating to the Fund's performance based on its net asset value (NAV) for certain periods.

Average annual total return at NAV for the 5-year period ended on July 31, 2010¹	1.81%

Huntington Rotating Markets Fund Shifts to U.S. Dow Jones Industrials From Global
September 2, 2010

Huntington Funds announced today that the Huntington Rotating Markets Fund's (HRITX) investment strategy has shifted from the global market segment to large cap, focusing specifically on the U.S. Dow Jones Industrials.

The Rotating Markets Fund rotates investments among four major market segments: large cap, mid cap, small cap and global. The fund manager identifies the most promising market sectors, keeping the fund invested in areas that offer the greatest return on investment.

Fund Manager Paul Koscik selected the Dow Jones Industrials because they are typically a more conservative equity investment option. The Industrials are comprised of 30 well known, "blue chip" stocks. With global equity markets experiencing growing volatility in the past few months, the Industrials have become an attractive investment.

"As market instability has increased, investors have been moving away from riskier investments, such as mid- and small-cap stocks, and leaning more toward conservative and less volatile large-cap 'Blue Chip' stocks like those found in the Dow Jones Industrials," Koscik said. "Investors are keenly aware that the Dow Jones Industrials outperformed not only mid- and small-cap stocks in 2008 but also the S&P 500."

Daniel B. Benhase, Huntington senior executive vice president, added, "Our fund managers at Huntington are very in tune with what's happening in the U.S. financial markets. This timely switch to large-cap stocks will provide a good opportunity for investors who are looking for both stability and a strong performance."

The Rotating Markets Fund has been focused on the global market segment since April 2009. This is the fund's sixth rotation since it launched in May 2001.
