NEW YORK, Nov. 11, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Fund.com, Inc.,
(Pink Sheets: FNDM) announced today that its majority-owned
subsidiary, AdvisorShares Investments, LLC, an innovator of
actively managed Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), has passed
$100 million in assets under
management.
The largest ETF in the AdvisorShares family is the AdvisorShares
Mars Hill Global Relative Value ETF (NYSE: GRV), the industry's
first long/short ETF, which in four months has grown to over
$42 million in assets. The
AdvisorShares line-up consists of a few other firsts: The
AdvisorShares Dent Tactical ETF (NYSE: DENT) was the first actively
managed ETF of ETFs, and the AdvisorShares WCM/BNY Mellon Focused
Growth ADR ETF (NYSE: AADR) was the first international actively
managed ETF.
The newest ETF in the AdvisorShares family is the AdvisorShares
Cambria Global Tactical ETF (NYSE: GTAA), an ETF managed by
Mebane Faber and Eric Richardson, co-authors of the popular book,
'The Ivy Portfolio'. It raised over $40
million in assets in just two weeks of being available for

"We are pleased to be positioned with a unique line-up of
actively managed investment strategies. The financial advisor
community we serve has expressed high interest in transparency and
the need for tax efficiency for their client base, all attributes
that our product suite contains," stated Noah Hamman, CEO and Founder of
AdvisorShares.
"$100 Million in assets under
management is no small feat in today's market environment and
further validates the experienced money managers of our products
and the story of the benefits that the ETF structure can bring to
shareholders. We strive to educate the advisor community and will
continue to bring value added investment strategies and educational
approaches to the marketplace," he added.
Eric Shore, a financial advisor
with Shore Wealth Management said, "I use ETFs for my clients but
am also a believer in active management and appreciate what
AdvisorShares is doing with the ETF structure to marry the two
concepts. AdvisorShares' products allow me to better diversify not
only across asset classes, but across portfolio managers as well by
way of a ticker symbol traded on an exchange."

An investment in the Fund is subject to risk, including the
possible loss of principal amount invested. Non-diversification
exposes the Fund to greater market risk than if its assets were
diversified among a greater number of issuers and/or sectors. High
yield, lower rated bonds involve a greater degree of risk than
investment grade bonds in return for higher yield potential. As
such, securities rated below investment grade generally entail
greater credit, market, issuer and liquidity risk than investment
grade securities. Interest rate risk occurs when interest rates
rise as bond prices usually fall. This Fund may not be suitable for
all investors. Newly organized, actively managed Funds have no
trading history and there can be no assurance that active trading
markets will be developed or maintained.
