Keepin' it REAL...

Foremost, thank you for taking an interest in the SL Capital Markets, and specifically for investigating BIG.

Investment in SL-based businesses can be a very FUN and EDUCATIONAL endeavor. The SL Economic Model has proven itself to be a realistic and resilient engine for many of us that spend considerable time here. Some are even able to derive real-world income from entrepreneurial pursuits within this fascinating environment.

Please accept the following broad caution as my personal gesture of goodwill to you - a potential friend and perhaps an investment partner;

(a) it's not easy - success here requires integrity, hard work, due diligence, and boundless determination.

(b) it's not risk-free - just like real-life, there are both winners and losers in this complex simulation.

Please, don't put at risk in your Second Life(tm) anything you can't afford to lose in your First Life (real), whether that's money, relationships, quality of life or any other RL metric.

AXIOM: (SL < RL) ALWAYS.

Regardless, I sincerely wish you good fortune in whatever compels you here.

Bogart Beck
BIG Founder

Business Overview

Beck Investment Group (BIG) is a publicly-traded Diversfied Investment Portfolio Company formed as part of an announced and formally approved Reverse-Merger of the Bo Beck Group, a company previously trading as (BBX) on the SL Capital Exchange, a virtual Stock Market simulation operating at http://www.slcapex.com

The Reverse-Merger was completed on 12/31/2007. The surviving entities, Beck Investment Group and Beck Technical Research, now trade seperately on the SL Capital Exchange as BIG & BTR respectively.

Briefly, for those unfamiliar with the Bo Beck Group (BBX), we were formerly organized as a DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO COMPANY with very disparate assets including;

an INDEX FUND (SL CapEx Stocks),
an ASSET MANAGEMENT SERVICES portfolio,
an ESCROW and TRUSTEE SERVICES portfolio,
an ART GALLERY (including the Original Artwork)
and various INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS including
an undeveloped DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT concept
and several defensible Trademark(tm) Rights.

The Reverse-Merger was specifically proposed as an opportunity to better allocate those assets in a manner that would provide potentially greater returns for our existing shareholders and two "easier to understand" companies for potential new investors. At completion of the Reverse-Merger, the (BBX) shareholders recieved one (1) share each of (BIG) and (BTR) for each share of (BBX) held. ALL (BBX) shares were then RETIRED and the Bo Beck Group was subsequently DISSOLVED.

The surviving entities are organized as follows;

Beck Investment Group (BIG) - a pure-play Financial Services Company with the following assets;
==================
the INDEX FUND (SL CapEx Stocks),
the ASSET MANAGEMENT SERVICES portfolio,
the ESCROW and TRUSTEE SERVICES portfolio.

Beck Technical Research (BTR) - a pure-play Intellectual Property Development Company, which includes;
===================
the ART GALLERY (including the Original Artwork)
the INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS including
the DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT product
and the Trademark(tm) portfolio.

The balance of THIS Prospectus will focus on the Business Strategy of Beck Investment Group (BIG).

Business Strategy

For those unfamiliar with our brief history the Bo Beck Group (BBX) was formed as a Roll-Up consolidation of the failed assets of a former entity (SLMS). The assets were seized as part of a forced liquidation on behalf of the creditors and shareholders of SLMS. NEW Assets were folded into the vacant shell via a merger in Mid-October with the surviving entity emerging as Bo Beck Group. Subsequently on 12/31/2007 Bo Beck Group completed a Reverse-Merger wherein two NEW entities were created (BIG & BTR) replacing (BBX).

The Beck Investment Group is organized as a diversified holding company consisting of four primary subsidiaries whose financial results are reported on a consolidated Income Statement and Balance Sheet. The individual Business Units have been segmented as follows;

(1)- Bo Beck Index - (A Portfolio of SL Capex Stocks). Going forward this Investment Portfolio will look and perform more like a traditional Income Fund than and Index. Our brief trading experience in the SL Capital Markets leads us to believe trading large volumes of a select few securities is generally much more profitable than holding a broad-based portfolio, albeit with marginally greater risk. We believe that risk can be substantially mitigated by engaging in more thorough Due Diligence of prospect stocks.

(2) - Beck Asset Management (BAM) - provides Fee-for-Service investment portfolio management services. At present, we're successfully managing the SL CapEx Fraud Fund, the SL CapEx Investment Fund and the JT Financial Investment Fund. BAM revenues currently represent about 7% of the Beck Investment Group monthly revenues.

(3) - Beck Escrow Services & Trustee (BEST) - provides fee-based commercial Escrow, Trustee & Dispute Resolution Services. The two primary BEST contracts represent about 33% of the Beck Investment Group monthly revenues.

(4) - Beck Commercial Properties - was recently dormanted due to SL Real Estate market conditions. Should conditions significantly improve BCP may consider re-entering the market with a primary focus on Private Estate Development.

Business Strengths

Thus far I suspect our success in the SL Capital Markets has primarily been the result of dogged determination. As an aggressive "trader" I've learned to differentiate between momentum plays and strategic investment and have tried to conservatively allocate assets based on those two fundamentally DIFFERENT strategies.

Momentum plays are primarily a short-term trade paradigm relying on market timing, a reliable network of information hounds, and, frankly, taking advantage of the fickle sentiment of "retail investors". While this strategy may sound predatory or manipulative, honestly it is the ROLE of a TRADER to generate volume in the capital markets. About 35% of the Bo Beck Index revenue stream has been derived by trading short-term positions in securities with momentum.

Strategic Investment is fundamentally a BUY and HOLD for long-term gain proposition requiring significant discipline in completing Due Diligence investigations, monitoring the performance of the securities Leadership Team, and analyzing the Financial Reports and forward Guidance provided by such leadership. The Index has derived almost 60% of its Investment revenue by leveraging these proven research methodologies and various other market analysis strategies.

Use of Capital

On an operating basis, BIG will typically re-invest the majority of its retained earnings (post Dividend). We do maintain a comparatively large CASH position (held in interest bearing accounts) to allow for the liquidity required to rapidly and effectively take advantage of market opportunities.

A very small percentage of our free cash flow is utilized for general operating expenses such as tier-payments, commissions, nominal advertising etc.

Risk Factors

Capital Investment both in real-life and Second Life(tm) is fundamentally all about MANAGING RISK and is primarily about balancing the risk versus reward scenario. In any Investment opportunity there may be SUBSTANTIAL RISKS which must be thoroughly and diligently considered.

Specific to SL CapEx-based Investment REGARDLESS of whether you consider this activity to be simply STOCK MARKET GAME PLAY, an ECONOMIC SIMULATION, a TOY ECONOMY or a bona fide investment opportunity I implore you to familiarize yourself with both the Linden Lab Terms of Service (TOS) and the
SL Capital Exchange Terms of Service (TOS) contained at the following links; (these be the basic rules)

Linden Lab TOS: http://secondlife.com/corporate/tos.php
SL CapEx TOS: http://www.slcapex.com/content/info

TO BE CRYSTAL CLEAR: YOU COULD LOSE SOME OR ALL OF YOUR SL CAPITAL INVESTMENT! ($L's)

Prior to considering any investment one must identify, analyze and mitigate risk at both a macro-level (example; governmental, regulatory, operating environment, et al) and at an enterprise or micro-level
(ie; company, competition, etc.). Additionally, the potential risks must be considered from both an internal (controllable) and external (no control) standpoint. We have diligently considered the following potential risks;

MACRO-LEVEL: There has been community discussion within the last year as to whether (or when) governmental agencies might intervene within the SL Financial community from a regulatory or legislative standpoint. This is an external risk over which we have no control.

There has also been debate and dialogue regarding Linden Lab's support and ongoing administrative control over the unit of measure commonly called $Lindens on several fronts, including;

(a) CONVERSION of $Lindens to a LEGAL TENDER CURRENCY and the potential tax consequences thereof. Here, too, we have no control or authority. Players ar encouraged to seek their own counsel regarding any potential tax consequences in their local jurisdiction.

(b) Linden Lab's ability to MAINTAIN a STABLE ECONOMY as measured by the EXCHANGE RATE of $Lindens to US Dollars, the availability and pricing of virtual Real Estate within the SL environment, and various other user experience metrics as are published from time-to-time by LL and others.

Regardless of LL's apparent unwillingness to acknowledge its role as the CENTRAL BANKING AUTHORITY and MONETARY POLICY ADMINISTRATOR within SL, they DO CONTROL the $L:$US conversion rate and thus have totalitarian authority and sphere of influence over the $Linden Unit of Measure and its trade value within the overall SL Economy.

We additionally have little direct control over the SL technical environment or the innovations and feature sets it supports. Our OPPORTUNITY is in finding unique ways to thrive and survive within and adjacent to the boundaries of the SL Metaverse.

MICRO/ENTERPRISE-LEVEL: The majority of our internal risks are directly related to our ability to articulate and execute viable business strategies, and our ability to successfully trade SL Capital Market securities at a profit.

Management

The success or failure of any venture can generally be laid at the feet of its leadership. In considering the appropriate experience level and business accumen required of this venture it was very clear early-on in the formation process that the dynamics and chemistry between myself and the incumbent Board of Directors of the former Bo Beck Group (BBX) were ideal for THIS entity as one of its two successor companies.

Travis Ristow is a known quantity with PROVEN Corporate Governance experience within the SL Financial Community, having sucessfully founded both BCX Bank (ISE:BCX) and SL RISK (ACE:RIS). He has also cultivated subject matter expertise in SL Acquisitions via the Innovative Index Fund (SL CapEx: NDX) and the art of corporate TURN-AROUND's and recovery plans via his acquisition and subsequent sale of what is now trading as the Sky Power Fund (SL CapEx: POW).

Kubi Beam is arguably one of the most successful independent investors within the SL Capital Markets, holding either substantial or controlling interests in MOST of the securities that trade on the SL Capital Exchange. Kubi currently shepherds the Tropical Temptations SIM (SL CapEx: XXX) and serves as a Board member for several companies within the community. Always a voice of reason and thoughtful contribution, Mr. beam is a quiet giant within the community and I am pleased to have him as an outside Director.

My own experiences as the incumbent CEO and interim CFO of the SL Capital Exchange itself (SLCX), as well as my role in the formation and sucessful launch of the Bo Beck Group I believe positions this entity for success in whatever forward strategies we undertake.

I wish you THE BEST in your Investment endeavors!

God Bless,

Bogart Beck
