Emanagers Indices
February 2012 performance of Opalesque's indices of emerging manager funds

Emanagers Total Index up 1.66% in February (+3.64% YTD)

Opalesque Ltd., a leading provider of online information services to the alternative investment industry, today announced the estimated February 2012 and year-to-date results for its series of indices tracking emerging hedge fund and managed futures fund managers.
