               OPTIMAL FUND
              
               OPTIMAL FUND is a business model
                  for asset management that seeks to maximize the utility of the
                  Internet to generate higher investment returns relative to
                  traditional mutual funds and hedge funds. OPTIMAL FUND is one
                  of the two business model inventions of David R. Rivas,
                  Ph.D.  It is unrelated to and different from OFIP, his
                  other business model invention. Both of these business models
                  are based on transparent and simple concepts. However, unlike
                  OFIP, which is applicable to a broad range of financial
                  services, OPTIMAL FUND is only applicable to asset management.
                   
                 
              OPTIMAL FUND and OFIP are natural
                  and innovative applications of the Internet to the financial
                  services industry. We therefore trust that, like online
                  trading, sooner or later they will find their way into Wall
                  Street. 
              If you are a prominent
                  professional in the asset management industry and would like
                  to learn more about OPTIMAL FUND, please contact
