TREMONT ADVISERS IS LISTED ON NASDAQ SMALLCAP MARKET                            

Rye, NY,  February 1, 2000 - Tremont  Advisers,  Inc.  today  announced that its
Class B shares  are now listed on the Nasdaq  SmallCap  Market  under the ticker
symbol  TMAV.  Previously,  the Class B shares were  quoted on the OTC  Bulletin
Board under the ticker symbol TMAVB.                                            

Tremont Advisers,  through its subsidiaries,  is primarily engaged in three core
businesses:  consulting,  information  and  investment  products  for the global
alternative  investment industry.  Its business has grown significantly over the
past several years as both institutional and high-net-worth individual investors
increasingly seek to create  portfolios of hedge fund investments.  In addition,
the firm expanded its business last year by acquiring TASS  Investment  Research
Limited,  a  London-based  provider  of  information  and  data  on  alternative
investments, as well as by launching a family of proprietary funds.             

"The  listing on the Nasdaq  SmallCap  Market is an  important  milestone in the
development of our firm," said Sandra Manzke,  Chairman of Tremont Advisers. "It
has been our vision to build a premier firm dedicated to  alternative  investing
on a global basis.  Clearly,  our growth over the last several years is a signal
that a significant investing trend is underway."                                

Tremont is  aggressively  seeking to expand its  business  both in the U.S.  and
overseas and, most recently, by pursuing non-domestic business.  European, Asian
and other non-U.S.  investors have shown an increasing  interest in hedge funds,
says Manzke.                                                                    

According to Tremont Advisers President Robert Schulman,  "Tremont has more than
a decade of experience  creating portfolios of alternative  investments.  We are
committed to providing the thorough  quantitative  and  qualitative  research of
hedge  fund  managers  that is  necessary  to build  portfolios  of  hedge  fund
investments  that are consistent with clients' risk and return  objectives.  Our
mission  is  to  bring  the  highest  quality   products  and  services  to  the
marketplace."                                                                   

Tremont,  through  its  subsidiaries,  consults  on more  than $700  million  in
proprietary funds and has more than $100 million in insurance policies in force,
which are invested in alternative investments.  Through TASS Investment Research
Limited,  the  firm  provides  data  on  the  performance  of  more  than  2,500
alternative  investment managers and funds. Tremont's wholly owned subsidiaries,
Tremont   Partners,   Inc.  and  Tremont   Securities,   Inc.,  are  registered,
respectively,  as an  investment  adviser under the  Investment  Advisers Act of
1940,  and as a registered  broker dealer under the  Securities  Exchange Act of
1934.  Tremont is  headquartered  in Rye, New York,  and has offices in Toronto,
Bermuda and London.
