THE JOURNAL OF PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
TO INITIATE ANNUAL AWARDS DINNER

"Dietz Awards" to Honor Best Articles


Somerset, NJ - October 4, 2001. The Spaulding Group, Inc. announced today that they will hold their first annual Awards Dinner for The Journal of Performance Measurement® on Monday, December 3 in New York City. This dinner will celebrate the publication reaching the five-year mark.

The publication will inaugurate the annual Dietz Awards, to honor those authors whose articles have been deemed best by the journal=s advisory board. The awards are being named in honor of Peter O. Dietz, who passed away 11 years ago and whose seminal work ("Pension Funds - Measuring Investment Performance") was the basis for the Bank Administration Institute's performance reporting standards ("Measuring the Investment Performance of Pension Funds"). Mr. Dietz also developed formulas for calculating rates of return that are still widely used today.

"I had the opportunity to speak with Peter's widow, Betty, about our idea and she enthusiastically agreed to allow us to use his name" said David Spaulding, publisher of The Journal of Performance Measurement and president of The Spaulding Group.

The Spaulding Group, Inc. is a management consulting, research, publishing and training firm that serves the money management industry in the areas of computer technology, operations, performance measurement and reporting, and marketing. TSG publishes The Journal of Performance Measurement®, a quarterly publication they launched in 1996, and hosts the Performance Measurement Forum. The firm also offers a two-day introductory course on performance measurement and will soon have a course on performance attribution.
