Jason Mirsky of RiskMetrics Group Joins OCE Interactive Board of Advisors

NEW YORK, March 23 /PRNewswire/ -- OCE Interactive announced that Jason Mirsky, head of the U.S. banking solutions team at RiskMetrics Group, Inc. (NYSE: RISK), a leading provider of risk management and corporate governance products and services to the global financial community, has joined OCE's board of advisors.  OCE is the developer of Market Topographer™ (www.markettopographer.com), a new Web-based platform for researching, benchmarking and comparing the valuation of U.S. stocks, which the company launched earlier this year.  

Developed by OCE's team of former bulge-bracket investment bankers and Wall Street executives, Market Topographer is designed to help institutional investors and advisors, as well as more sophisticated retail investors, evaluate more clearly and objectively whether a stock is fairly priced.  Intended for investors to navigate all types of markets, including today's post-financial crisis stock market, the platform demonstrates how the market is systematically rewarding and penalizing company valuations at any point in time.    

"We are delighted to welcome Jason to our advisory board.  His expertise and thorough knowledge of the sector and operations will be invaluable as we continue to broaden awareness of Market Topographer in the financial community and move forward with our plans for company growth," said Jonathan Greenberg, CFA, OCE Interactive President and Chief Executive Officer.

Mirsky joined RiskMetrics Group in 1999, the year after it was founded, and helped launch the firm's wealth management business.  He has led development groups within specific product lines as well as product management across the firm.

"I very much look forward to working with Jonathan and his entire team at OCE," Mirsky said.  "Market Topographer is an exceptional platform intended to provide investors with a means of more objectively comparing the valuation of stocks, which is so badly needed especially in today's uncertain market."

Market Topographer combines fundamental and behavioral analysis, with a particularly strong focus on evaluation of each company's relative risk profile, trading multiple and whether or not the expectations embedded in its stock price are achievable.  Under the hood, the platform is driven by a financial model back-filled for 20 years and encompassing 12 core risk assessment characteristics – such as financial leverage, dividend payout ratio and growth expectations – which together define how the market systematically differentiates the valuation of listed stocks as of any given day.  

The platform's interactive tool sets offer users three complementary benchmarking techniques to gain a comprehensive perspective on the valuation of any particular stock.  These are comparison of the future growth expectations priced into a stock with relevant historical precedents; evaluation of the impact of market conditions on a stock's price; and direct comparison of the profile and valuation of a stock with other stocks, currently, historically, and even across time.
