Chief Investment Officer Roger Nusbaum is a leading expert in ETF analysis and market commentary through his blog at http://randomroger.blogspot.com. Roger will work with AdvisorShares to develop a similar strategy as the one he often writes about and offers to his clients. "What's important to us when constructing portfolios is assessing whether the environment for stocks is positive or negative, assessing big, important themes that could move markets, and assessing where we are in the current stock market and economic cycles. We then take all of these current events, combined with a study of similar periods in market history, to build a forward-looking analysis of what we expect to happen in the market."

Noah Hamman, CEO and Founder of AdvisorShares said, "Many investors know noted market expert Roger Nusbaum for his Random Roger stock market blog and his frequent contribution to media outlets such as CNBC, but more importantly through his analysis of ETFs, and for the transparency he provides to reading of how he manages assets. We look forward to working with Roger and his team in creating a unique ETF solution for investors that provides both broad and targeted investments through his use of individual equities, ADRs, bonds, and ETFs."
