I pointed out that, while appropriate to wait a year for new products in established asset classes, it might be helpful for plan sponsors to see all of the new products in this asset class regardless of length of track record. Batterymarch's 130/30 started 12/31/06, and has now been added to the universe. I believe eVest will loosen the 1 yr. requirement for 130/30 going forward.
