INTERNET SECURITIES, INC. ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF EUROMONEY.PL, POLAND'S MOST COMPREHENSIVE ONLINE RESOURCE FOR PERSONAL FINANCE
Poland's leading supplier of on-line business information, Internet Securities Polish subsidiary aims to provide the country's leading personal finance web destination
New York, NY, June 06, 2000 - Internet Securities, Inc., the pioneering publisher of Internet-delivered emerging markets news and information, today announced the launch of Euromoney.pl, a free access, personal finance resource for internet users in Poland.
Designed to be Poland's most comprehensive source of business information for individuals and retail investors, Euromoney.pl will provide convenient access to business news and information on Poland. Complete with near time pricing from the Warsaw Stock Exchange, news from leading local sources such as the Polish Press Agency (PAP) and company financial information from Emitent and Notaria, Euromoney.pl gives unprecedented access to information previously unavailable to individual investors in Poland.
Says Internet Securities CEO Gary Mueller, "For 5 years, Internet Securities has been serving institutional subscribers in Poland and abroad with our flagship Emerging Markets Information Service. We are one of the first, possibly the largest and certainly the only profitable internet company in Poland. The market recognizes us as the premier financial intelligence resource in Poland, but until now, only financial professionals could access our rich storehouse of information. Euromoney.pl allows us to provide a wider audience in Poland with a slice of our content, and offer tools to evaluate investment opportunities and to use the web to manage and learn about personal finance."
Visitors to Euromoney.pl will have access to chat rooms and bulletin boards on companies of their choosing, as well as portfolio monitoring tools previously unavailable to individual investors. The site will be advertiser supported. Euromoney Polska S.A. will operate both the Internet Securities' premium subscriber based information service (www.securities.com) and Euromoney.pl.
Mueller adds, "The internet is taking off in Poland. As veterans in the marketplace, we are uniquely positioned to be its premier business related site developer. The launch of Euromoney.pl marks an important step in our strategy as we expand our footprint on the web in Poland. We will be leveraging our content expertise in other directions moving forward, and we are proud to be bearing the Euromoney standard into initiatives like Euromoney.pl."
