The Leader in Integrated Enterprise Risk Management for Insurance Companies Earmarks Funds for Sales, Marketing and Enhancement of Product Features.

DFA Capital Management Inc. today announced that it has recently secured an additional $7.1 million in funding. The company will use the funds to expand sales and marketing and accelerate product development.

DFA Capital Management is the leader in Integrated Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) solutions that enable insurance companies to better understand and manage risk, thereby providing more transparency, compliance to government regulations, reductions in earnings volatility, and ultimately a greater return to their shareholders. Peter Roberts, a general partner at Longworth Venture Partners, has joined the company’s board of directors.

Markus Rohrbasser, Chairman and President of DFA Capital Management said, "We’ve spent the past few years focusing on research and development and have achieved a leadership position with our ADVISE™ product. Now that we have a proven, high-quality product, that offers a dramatic ROI, we will be focusing on expanding our reach as we build a world-class sales and marketing capability."

"We are delighted to have Longworth as a business partner during this next, most critical stage of our growth. Longworth’s philosophy is to take a straightforward approach to working with entrepreneurs and their businesses. The Longworth team has substantial operating and investment experience which has already proven valuable in continuing to build our business," continued Mr. Rohrbasser.

"In insurance companies, there is an exponential relationship between the completeness of risk management solutions and the level of business value derived. As we looked at the ERM space, we clearly found that DFA Capital Management had the most comprehensive, powerful and scalable offering in the industry today. During our due diligence the company’s clients enthusiastically told us about tangible significant benefits from using ADVISE," said Peter Roberts of Longworth. "We are looking forward to working with this exceptionally strong team; they have incredible domain expertise."

Peter Roberts brings 12 years of senior partner level venture capital experience to Longworth. Following seven years in commercial banking, he joined BancBoston Ventures' London office in 1989. In 1993 he joined BancBoston Ventures' early stage IT team in Boston and led its software investments for 8 years.

Mr. Rohrbasser added, "Our ability to raise this round of funding in the current economic climate provides further validation for our company and our products. The validation we are most proud of, however, is the business value we have delivered for our customers and partners. The current financing will enable us to accelerate the pace at which we market and sell our products to the world’s leading insurance institutions."
