NEW YORK, Aug. 27, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global
index provider, today announced the launch of the Dow Jones Mexico Titans 20
Index, which measures the largest and most liquid stocks traded in Mexico.

The Dow Jones Mexico Titans 20 Index has been licensed to BBVA Bancomer, a
leading banking institution in Mexico, to serve as the basis of an
exchange-traded fund (ETF) available today at Bolsa Mexicana de Valores.

"We have recently developed a greater breadth of indexes that gauge different
asset classes and markets in Mexico. The Dow Jones Mexico Titans 20 Index
measures the performance of the country's leading blue-chip companies using an
objective and rules-based methodology. The new index also provides broad sector
diversification. With these qualities underlying the ETF by BBVA Bancomer, local
investors are being offered a neutral and transparent investment option," said
Michael A. Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes.

The selection universe for the Dow Jones Mexico Titans 20 Index is defined as
all stocks in the Dow Jones Mexico Total Stock Market Index, of which there are
32 currently. Companies are ranked first by float-adjusted market capitalization
and then by 12-month average daily trading volume. Stocks are then ordered by an
equally weighted combination of these size and liquidity rankings. The 20
top-ranked companies are selected as index components.

The top five components in the Dow Jones Mexico Titans 20 Index are America
Movil S.A.B. de C.V. Series L, Wal-Mart de Mexico S.A.B. de C.V. Series V, Cemex
S.A.B. de C.V. Series CPO, Fomento Economico Mexicano S.A.B. de C.V. and Carso
Global Telecom S.A.B. de C.V.

The index is weighted by float-adjusted market capitalization and each
component's weight is capped at 10 percent. As of August 26, 2009, the Dow Jones
Mexico Titans 20 Index is up 32.62% year to date.

The Dow Jones Mexico Titans 20 Index is reviewed annually in March, and
component weightings are rebalanced on a quarterly basis. Back-tested historical
data is available back to December 31, 1998(1). Further information can be found
at http://djindexes.com.
