MORGAN STANLEY DEAN WITTER HOSTS GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY EDGE CONFERENCE AND ANNOUNCES `TECH EDGE 26' London, Sept. 26 -- Morgan Stanley Dean Witter has announced it's `Tech Edge 26' group of stocks at the conclusion of its Equity Research Global Technology Conference which was held the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in Central London on 25th and 26th September. The two day conference focussed on two key issues - `what are the technologies of the future (2000 - 2010)' and `which companies, across all sectors, are employing a technology edge to establish competitive advantage over their competitors'. The attendance of over 350 Morgan Stanley's Analysts, Strategists and Economists from around the world, to discuss the issues with over 800 delegates, helped make this conference a unique event. The keynote of the conference was the release of the `Tech Edge 26' group of stocks. This group was specially selected from Morgan Stanley's coverage universe of over 2,250 stocks, was further culled to some 200 stocks that had elements of `tech edge', and finally shortlisted to 26. The selection process included over 100 analyst sessions, as well as fundamental and quantitative screening and a review by the Firm's Strategists. The `Tech Edge 26', which were selected from across all sectors, have either succeeded in implementing technological change, are in the process of change, or are about to implement change. The list of stocks is attached to this release. Morgan Stanley Dean Witter's Head of European Equity Research, Jack Mueller, commenting on the conference, said, "The announcement of the `Tech Edge 26' and it's constituent companies highlights Morgan Stanley's commitment to providing the Firm's clients with equity research, that is not only of the highest quality, but is highly independent and creative. This is the first time that we have had all our analysts, strategists and economists in one place at one time. Our clients have found this to be a unique opportunity, not only have they been able to listen to and participate in a varied and large number of presentations, they have also been able to meet with our analysts from around the world". `Tech Edge 26' 3M Mellon - Financial America On-Line Oracle American International Group Pepsico Applied Materials Pfizer Automatic Data Processing Philips Boeing Royal Dutch Petroleum CISCO Schlumberger EMC Solectron ENRON Sony Ford Sprint PCS General Electric United Parcel Service Guidant Walgreen Lucent Wal-Mart More information: Peter Stanhope Corporate Communications Tel: +44 (20) 7425 8934 peter.stanhope@msdw.com
