NEW YORK, Nov. 4 NY-Fund.com-Acquires

NEW YORK, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fund.com, (OTC Bulletin Board: FNDM) a growing financial services company that creates actively managed ETFs, announced today that it has purchased an equity interest in Mesa, AZ.-based Vensure Employer Services, Inc., a professional employer organization that provides benefits and payroll administration, health and workers' compensation insurance programs, employee training and development services, and retirement benefits plans, such as 401k's, for small and medium businesses. The equity is represented by $21.9 million of participating preferred stock of Vensure.

The company also announced that it had purchased 100% of the capital stock of Whyte Lyon Socratic, Inc., a developer of online education programs for investors, debtors and professionals. As part of that transaction, Whyte Lyon's president Joseph J. Bianco was named chairman of the board of Fund.com.

Fund.com said that as a result of its investment in Vensure, employees of Vensure clients will receive Whyte Lyon online educational courses in managing their personal finances and retirement goals.

Vensure CEO Tom Lindsay said, "As employers increasingly realize that their employees need help in facing the complexities of today's financial issues in resolving their investing, borrowing and retirement issues, we believe that the addition of Whyte Lyon's online educational courses will give us a significant competitive advantage in marketing our employment services. As far as I know, we will be the only company offering these services."

CEO Greg Webster of Fund.com said, "Joe Bianco's tremendous management experience and prowess in mergers and acquisitions will be critical in propelling Fund.com's continued growth. In addition, we believe that Whyte Lyon Socratic's product portfolio will contribute to Vensure's services offering and help it attract new clients."

Fund.com's Webster added that Bianco, now a private investor and chairman of Educational Investors, Inc., served from 1990 to 1996 as the CEO of New York Stock Exchange-listed Alliance Entertainment, then the world's leading independent distributor of CD music. His business experience has spanned many industries: He founded and chaired British Performance Car Imports, Inc., the exclusive U.S. distributor of Lotus Performance Cars, which he sold to General Motors, and was chairman of Cognitive Arts, Inc., a leading creator of educational software. He graduated from Yale Law School in 1975; he was an editor of the Yale Law Journal.
