BOSTON, May 13, 2008 -- National Financial^®, a Fidelity Investments company, today announced that it has launched the National Financial Broker & Advisor Center^SM ("Broker & Advisor Center"), a comprehensive multimedia portal designed to provide brokers and advisors working on National Financial's Streetscape^® workstation exclusive access to a broad range of business building and training resources in one central location.

Aimed at providing resources that can assist brokers and advisors in their efforts to grow their books of business and broker/dealer firms to retain successful brokers, the innovative site is the latest enhancement to the Streetscape workstation and the newest component of the National Financial Broker and Advisor Development Program^SM. As part of the Broker & Advisor Center, National Financial is making available a comprehensive communications program for broker/dealer firm clients.

The Broker & Advisor Center integrates more than 100 broker- and advisor-specific resources, including more than 30 multimedia pieces, such as on-demand education and training videos, informational podcasts and flash demos. Updated with resources that reflect timely market developments and industry trends, the portal also includes more than 40 continuing education (CE) modules¹ as well as numerous whitepapers and investor-level materials. Portions of the site are also customized, allowing brokers and advisors to see only the information and products related to their broker/dealer firm.

"We continue to make significant investments in these areas, such as the Broker & Advisor Center and its related communications program, specifically designed to help put business-building tools directly in the hands of the 85,000 brokers and advisors using the National Financial platform."
