To promote our burgeoning online businesses and the development of numerous information delivery services, Lehman Brothers has steadily increased its value-added content over the past decade. In recognition of our effort, Lehman Brothers' Global Fixed Income Research group has been consistently recognized as a top-ranked research department by respected industry sources.

This achievement is a strong indication of our commitment to providing outstanding service to our clients.

Lehman Brothers is also the world's leading producer of bond market indices. Since its creation in 1973, the Global Family of Indices has expanded to provide comprehensive performance and risk measurements for all major bond markets. As global investors have increasingly focused on total returns, the Firm's bond indices have grown to become essential tools for investors to gauge the performance of their portfolios and for issuers to gauge their cost of capital. Today, Lehman Brothers' indices are employed by over 90% of major institutional investors in the United States, a majority of European investors and a growing share of Asian investors.
