The Dow Jones Hedge Fund Balanced Portfolio Indexes (DJHFBPIs) also will be suspended, according to the announcement. The decision to halt publication of the benchmarks is the result of the temporary measures taken by the investment manager of the managed account platform that supports the Dow Jones Hedge Fund Strategy Benchmarks and Dow Jones Hedge Fund Balanced Portfolio Indexes to temporarily reduce the risk profiles of some of its managers.

Index values for the Dow Jones Hedge Fund Equity Long/Short and Equity Market Neutral Strategy Benchmarks are available through October 31, 2008, the announcement said.
