FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cost Benefits of Investment Recovery Programs

Investment Recovery Metric Report 2011

(TEMPE, Arizona) June 8, 2011 — CAPS Research in partnership with the Investment Recovery Association has released its Investment Recovery Metric Report for 2011. The Investment Recovery Association's membership promotes the recycling, redeployment, and reselling of surplus assets to recover hundreds of millions of dollars annually. This report provides organizational information and operational benchmarks as well as a number of financial metrics related to the overall cost benefits of investment recovery programs and best practice implementation. One key metric reported indicates that for every dollar of investment recovery operating expense, $34 is returned to the bottom line. The report also includes other benchmarks that relate information about investment recovery services and processes, the effectiveness of program-related tools and technologies, and investment recovery staffing. Fifty-six companies provided data for this report.

The Investment Recovery Metric Report 2011 is available on the CAPS Research public website www.capsresearch.org. First time visitors will be prompted to register to access the benchmarking reports.
