IN BRIEF

American Century Investments, Princeton Financial's, The Institute for International Research and Clearnet.

American Century Investments has chosen Tumbleweed Communications' Integrated Messaging Exchange (IME) as its platform for secure online communications. IME is a platform and set of applications for creating secure communications channels between a business and its customers, partners and suppliers. American Century believes that IME will allow the firm to build stronger customer relationships online in a secure and confidential fashion. Initially, the firm will use IME to distribute prospectuses online, as well as send customer service messages, account statements, trade confirmations, tax information, shareholder notices, annual reports and marketing messages to financial advisors and shareholders. The firm will also use the platform for internal communications.

The Western and Southern Life Insurance Co. and its registered investment advisor, Fort Washington Investment Advisors, have licensed Princeton Financial's PAM system for portfolio accounting and management. Both companies, based in Cincinnati, have a total of approximately $25 billion in assets under management. In addition to the core PAM functionality, they will use several of Princeton's complementary products, including the Bloomberg Portfolio Trading System for placing, settling and accounting for major trading transactions; the Custodian Trade Notification system for transmitting trade advice and settlement instructions directly to their custodian banks; the DTC TradeMatch Interface; and the Interface Module for automatically exporting PAM data to third-party systems. Previously, Western-Southern used an internally developed mainframe application.
