Growth of Private Company Index prompts the creation of Index Fund

Chicago, IL March 17-2006 - Private Company Index continues to excel in 2006, increasing 31 points in February to 562. What's more, index member companies showed an average of 5.77% increase in revenue in February. The average monthly gain for these companies is 6.12% monthly since inception; with an average annual growth for 2006 of 22.89%.

Private Company Index companies continue to grow eight times faster than their Dow counterparts, and five times faster than their NASDAQ counterparts on average for the same period.

"Tracking this continued growth of private companies led us to license the Entrex Index Fund" says Entrex CEO Stephen Watkins. The Entrex Ensured Index Fund provides Entrex Registered Member Companies (RMC) an offer of liquidity for the company and its shareholders. Quarterly, Entrex companies and funds receive updated research and valuation providing investors knowledge about the company and fund performance. This information, distributed across the financial community, opens the door to a variety of exit vehicles for both companies and investors. Entrex Registered Member Companies are guaranteed an offer to purchase 8% of their shares. http://www.entrex.net/downloads.html

"The Entrex Index Fund is an exciting, ingenious adventure," says Randy Cohen from Ticketcity.com and a Private Company Index member. The Entrex Index Fund encourages companies to begin thinking about an exit strategy while receiving immediate liquidity - a significant advantage that every company shareholder needs. The index is an obvious solution for private company owners while providing investors a diverse basket of private equities."
