MacroMarkets Announces Collaboration With WisdomTree to Deliver Securities Tied
to Home Prices

MADISON, N.J., April 20, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MacroMarkets, LLC, announced
today the Company has entered into a collaboration with WisdomTree Asset
Management in which WisdomTree will assist in the introduction of the
MacroShares Major Metro Housing Up and MacroShares Major Metro Housing Down.
WisdomTree will provide educational and product support to MacroMarkets.

The MacroShares Major Metro Housing Trusts are unique exchange traded products.
The fully-collateralized trust structure is issued in pairs and represents the
upward or downward movement of the S&P/Case-Shiller Composite 10-Home Price
Index. The S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices are a widely followed barometer
of residential housing prices in the U.S and as such, MacroShares Major Metro
Housing Up and Down provide an important market-traded price discovery function
reflecting trends in home price movements.

Sam Masucci, President and CEO of MacroMarkets commented, "We are excited to
work with WisdomTree, an exchange-traded fund provider and index developer with
an impressive track record of innovation in the fund industry. We believe their
expertise will benefit us greatly as we work to educate investors about
MacroShares Major Metro Housing."

WisdomTree CEO Jonathan Steinberg added, "We are looking forward to
collaborating with the MacroMarkets team and believe the market has wanted a way
to trade housing for a long time."

Robert Shiller, co-founder and Chief Economist of MacroMarkets noted, "Housing
prices play a tremendous role influencing consumer confidence, the direction of
the U.S. economy, and the value of related financial assets generally. By
delivering greater market access, new price discovery and liquidity to this
vital asset class, I believe the MacroShares Housing Trusts represent a
remarkable innovation that will complement government efforts to better serve
individual home owners and improve financial institutions."

About the MacroShares Major Metro Housing Trusts

Like all MacroShares, the Major Metro Housing Trusts will be
fully-collateralized by short term United States Treasury Bills, overnight
repurchase agreements secured by Treasury securities and cash. In addition to
addressing issuer and counterparty credit risk concerns that continue to mount
in connection with certain other exchange-traded products, this collateral is
also anticipated to generate quarterly distributions for MacroShares investors
when interest income exceeds trust expenses.
