JPMorgan Asset Management's Intrepid Value fund strategy will now be available through Wachovia Securities' Diversified Managed Allocations account (DMA). JPMorgan's Intrepid Value mutual fund is also available on Wachovia's FundSource, CustomChoice, Asset Advisor, Pilot Plus and PIM programs.

JPMorgan Asset Management, a leader in behavioral finance investment strategies, today announced that its behaviorally-driven JPMorgan Intrepid Value strategy will be available through Wachovia Securities' Diversified Managed Allocations account (DMA), which offers separately managed portfolios to investors with a minimum investment of $150,000 or more.

"JPMorgan launched a series of behavioral strategies in the U.S. after successfully launching our investment process in the UK and Europe over a decade ago," said George Gatch, CEO JPMorgan Funds. "With a four year track record and strong performance in the Intrepid portfolios, we are experiencing increased interest in our behavioral strategies and managed accounts, and are proud to be a leader in making these strategies available to investors through Wachovia Securities."

The JPMorgan Intrepid Value mutual fund is also available on Wachovia's FundSource, CustomChoice, Asset Advisor, Pilot Plus and PIM programs.

JPMorgan manages $96b (3/31/2007) in behavioral finance strategies on a global basis. The JPMorgan Intrepid strategies are managed by Silvio Tarca, Robert Weller and Jason Alonzo.

Behavioral finance strategies seek to capitalize on market anomalies that occur as a result of predictable, irrational investor behavior, combining psychology with investing and a disciplined investment process. JPMorgan offers a suite of 8 behavioral portfolios under the JPMorgan Intrepid name. The first were launched in February 2003 -- Intrepid Growth, Value, America and Multi Cap. JPMorgan also offers International, European and Mid-Cap Intrepid strategies. For more information, see http://www.jpmorganfunds.com/.
