Robust Technology Provides Pre-Trade Compliance, Real-Time Reporting, and Lower
Brokerage Costs for Sub-Advised Investment Platforms 
DENVER--(Business Wire)--
UAT, Inc., a Denver-based technology and consulting company, announced today the
official launch of its "Unified Compliance and Control System," or UCCS. UCCS is
the $2.7 trillion sub-advised investment industry`s first pre-trade compliance,
real-time reporting, and brokerage cost savings system.

Organizations that utilize external asset management have historically been
unable to implement real-time control over their outside money managers. In an
environment demanding increasingly strict regulatory supervision, greater cost
control, and increased operational efficiency, UCCS provides an integrated,
pre-trade compliance solution for product sponsors.

"Today`s sub-advised investment industry touches millions of Americans who
invest in mutual funds, pension plans, bank trusts, 401(k), and insurance
products," said UAT President Tom Warren. "Our turnkey system benefits both the
industry and investors by providing a level of fiduciary oversight never before
available. UCCS stops costly mistakes before they happen."

UCCS is designed to help sponsor firms address compliance and regulatory
challenges and, at the same time, significantly reduce their overall brokerage
expenses. The integration of UAT`s patent-pending proprietary HiLo Engine with
Linedata Services` LongView Trading order management system lowers trading costs
by executing certain transactions through a low-cost brokerage network.

"We estimate a sponsor firm that manages $20 billion in active equity assets
could save as much as $15 million annually using UCCS," said Warren. "It`s hard
to argue the logic of that kind of cost efficiency."

Coinciding with its product introduction, UAT today launched its website,
www.uatinc.com. The site is designed to educate asset management executives who
have fiduciary responsibility for sub-advised accounts.

In addition to a robust library of content designed to address the sub-advised
industry`s long-standing regulatory challenges, the UAT website also features an
interactive "Brokerage Savings Calculator."

The UAT Savings Calculator presents the potential annual savings in brokerage
costs that UCCS could generate based on an organization`s inputs of actual
trading volume and per-share trading costs. The tool also presents the impact
those savings could have on investment performance and corporate profits.
