2007 Annual Survey Focuses on Corporate Responsibility Performance of Major U.S. Companies PLANTATION, Fla., Feb. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TradeStation Group, Inc. (NASDAQ GS: TRAD), the parent company of online brokerage firm TradeStation Securities, Inc. (Member NASD, NYSE, SIPC & NFA), was ranked #50 in the annual survey, released yesterday by "CRO" magazine, of the "100 Best Corporate Citizens" in the United States. The closely-watched survey has gained national recognition as an indicator of best practices in the area of corporate responsibility. The 100 Best Corporate Citizens list uses data from Socrates, the online social research database created by KLD Research & Analytics in Boston, an independent research firm serving investment management professionals, to put a numerical rating on companies' service to various stakeholders. The companies considered for the list include U.S. firms in the Russell 1000, the S&P 500, and the Domini 400 Social Index, in which TradeStation Group was included this past year. These firms are ranked on service in eight stakeholder categories: shareholders, community, governance, diversity, employees, environment, human rights, and product. "The 100 Best distinguish themselves from their peers at other large public companies by embracing higher standards -- combining strong financial performance with responsible practices on environmental and social issues," said Michael Connor, Publisher and Editor of CRO magazine. "We salute the 100 Best for their leadership roles in the field of corporate responsibility." Now in its 8th year, the "100 Best Corporate Citizens" list identifies companies that excel at serving a variety of stakeholders well. The 100 Best Corporate Citizens list was developed by "Business Ethics" magazine, which was incorporated last year into The CRO (http://www.thecro.com/), a premier membership organization for Corporate Responsibility Officers. More details regarding the 100 Best Corporate Citizens list are available on the CRO web site at http://www.thecro.com/. About TradeStation Group, Inc. TradeStation Group, Inc.
