    BERKELEY, Calif. - A new risk management system to help investors control risk in portfolios of Japanese equities will be co-developed by BARRA Inc. and QUICK Corp., a Japanese data company.

    "It is becoming more important for trust banks, pension funds and investment management and life insurance companies to control the risk of equity investments and to disclose information to sponsors," said Andrew Rudd, chairman and chief executive officer of BARRA, the analytical software developer and consultant.

    QUICK's on-line Japanese market data platform will distribute the risk management system. The Japanese equity model developed by QUICK and BARRA to control risk will be a low-priced, on-line service for institutional money managers. The system will combine real-time market data with practical tools such as risk analysis, optimization and screening functions.

    QUICK, based in Tokyo, supplies data to clients in 20 countries.

    BARRA has 750 clients.

    More information about Quick may be obtained by contacting Toshi Matsumae at (510) 649-4562.
