Tuesday, March 9, 2004 New Role for Morningstar Indexes Barclays Global Investors, N.A. licensed Morningstar, Inc.’s 16 style-based indexes and will use them as the basis for a new set of exchange traded funds.

"BGI is a market leader in creating exchange traded funds, and our interests in serving investors and financial advisors are clearly aligned. We’re delighted that BGI has selected the Morningstar Indexes as benchmarks for creating investment vehicles that will help investors build better diversified portfolios."
