BOSTON – June 23, 2011 – Currensee, (www.currensee.com), the alternative investment service that gives investors unique access to the world currency markets, today announced that $12 million has been invested by participants in its Trade Leaders™ Investment Program since its October 2010 launch, resulting in an impressive $6 billion in volume traded through the service.

Prior to the Trade Leaders Investment Program, the $4 trillion-per-day foreign currency (Forex) market was accessible only to traders who spent their time studying charts, predicting a pair’s next move and maniacally following the latest world news and economic trends. Even after all of this rigor, less than 30 percent of Forex traders actually make money from trading. This is why the Trade Leaders Investment Program provides an alternative service for investors who want to diversify from the stock market and access the world currency markets, but who may lack the experience, time or know-how. The program lets retail investors of all types automatically replicate the trades of some of the world’s most successful Forex traders, called Trade Leaders, enabling diversification into the Forex market, a truly uncorrelated asset class.

In just seven short months, the program has gained significant momentum, hitting the following milestones:

• $6 billion in volume has been traded through the program, a 50-percent increase since April 14, 2011
• $12 million in assets under management since launch
• More than 400 individual investors are actively participating in the program
• Average investor account size exceeding $25,000
• An average of 3,500 trades are executed every day, using the Currensee Intelligent Trade Replication Technology™
• Investors from more than 50 countries using the service in English, Chinese, French, Italian and Spanish
• Nearly 50 percent of the growth in assets during the last 60 days has come from investors achieving success in the program and depositing additional capital

“I have always wanted to give currency investing a go but it seemed too complicated for a non-expert like me,” said Jeffrey Morris, an investor in the Trade Leaders program. “With the Currensee Trade Leaders program, I have confidence in the Trade Leaders in my portfolio and their trading styles. And I appreciate the fact that I still have complete control over my investing decisions.”

“The Trade Leaders Investment Program has opened the world currency market to all types of investors,” said Dave Lemont, Currensee CEO. “What’s clear is that the program’s simple and transparent structure, along with consistent performance and Risk Management Risk Management One of the most common terms utilized by brokers, risk management refers to the practice of identifying potential risks in advance.
