Unique Sectors and Full Lines of Emerging Markets and Asia Pacific Indices Now
                                   Available



New York, March 15, 2010 - Thomson Reuters today launched 7500 new equity
sector-level indices covering a broad range of regions and sectors unique to
Thomson Reuters. These include full lines of Emerging Market and Asia Pacific
sector indices in addition to the first line of Iberian sector and NAFTA sector
indices, as well as indices for new and relevant sectors such as Water,
Renewables, and Diversified Media. The sector indices are the most recent
addition to Thomson Reuters indices which include the award-wining Thomson
Reuters Realized Volatility Index - a first-of-its-kind index that provides a
new way to forecast volatility.


The sector indices go beyond the global, country and regional indices previously
available by allowing clients to monitor market movements more deeply by sector.
Covering 44 countries and 18 regions, Thomson Reuters indices enable clients to
monitor global markets, benchmark specific countries, regions, and sectors, and
develop investment vehicles globally.


Sunand Menon, Global Managing Director of Indices at Thomson Reuters, said:
"Investment managers, quantitative analysts and other financial professionals
are continually looking for new ways to evaluate market movements at a deeper
level by analyzing the most relevant sectors, particularly in the more difficult
to reach emerging markets. The combination of our unbiased classification
system, liquidity filter and efficiency of our workflow is unique to the market.
With over 8,000 indices now available, Thomson Reuters is providing clients with
the depth and breadth of geographical and sector coverage necessary to succeed."


Each Thomson Reuters index is created using a proprietary liquidity filter that
selects stocks based on price, as opposed to volume. By only including stocks
that investors can access, the indices provide a more accurate depiction of the
investing opportunities available, particularly in emerging markets, where many
securities are not accessible to all investors.



The indices utilise the proprietary Thomson Reuters Business Classification
(TRBC) system which provides globally consistent sector standards. TRBC is the
industry's broadest classification system covering 71,000 public and 230,000
private companies worldwide.



All Thomson Reuters Indices are accessible via desktops as well as data feeds,
in products such as Reuters 3000 Xtra, Thomson Reuters Datastream, StarMine and
Thomson Reuters Portfolio Analytics.



Thomson Reuters Indices leverages the Company's 40 plus years of experience
calculating and distributing some of the best known indices and benchmarks in
today's global marketplace.
