AdvisorShares Announces Partnership With Cambria Investment Management to Develop a Global Tactical Asset Allocation ETF

Partnership Will Create an Actively Managed ETF That Will Take a Quantitative Approach to Global Tactical Asset Allocation ("GTAA")

BETHESDA, MD--(Marketwire - June 23, 2010) -   AdvisorShares Investments, LLC, a developer of and investment adviser to actively managed Exchange Traded Funds, announced today a partnership with Cambria Investment Management, Inc., a Los Angeles based investment manager, to create a GTAA strategy in an actively managed ETF. The proposed ETF would join AdvisorShares' growing stable of innovative actively managed ETFs which includes the Dent Tactical ETF (NYSE: DENT).

"Cambria has an excellent track record using their proprietary quantitative approach to investing," said Noah Hamman, CEO and Founder of AdvisorShares. "Cambria has done an outstanding job developing research and education related to a GTAA strategy via their popular white paper, 'A Quantitative Approach to Tactical Asset Allocation,' and their recent book, 'The Ivy Portfolio.'"

Mebane Faber, Chief Investment Officer of Cambria Investment Management said, "Buying and holding a diversified portfolio did little to protect countless investors from the global market meltdown in 2008 and 2009. In these volatile markets investors need to be more proactive in managing their risk."

Eric Richardson, Chairman and CEO of Cambria Investment Management, said, "At Cambria, our mission for our separately managed accounts and private funds has been to grow capital by seeking to produce long term absolute returns with reduced volatility and manageable risk and drawdowns."
