Masters' Select International Fund Porfolio Managers

The following table provides a description of the five investment managers and their allocation of the total portfolio, experience, and investment style. Generally, the portion of the fund assigned to each manager is fixed. These fixed allocations are allowed to drift slightly under the scrutiny of the Advisor. The timing and degree of any rebalancing is determined by the Advisor.

Investment Manager Target Manager Allocation Size of Companies Stock-Picking Style
Bill Fries 20% All Sizes Eclectic - may invest in traditional value stocks or growth stocks
David Herro 20% All sizes, but mostly large and mid-sized companies Value
Amit Wadhwaney 15% All sizes Value
Theodore Tyson & Douglas R. Allen 18% All sizes, but mostly large and mid-sized Growth
Jim Gendelman 17% All sizes, but mostly large and mid-sized companies Growth
Howard Appleby, Jean-Francois Ducrest, Jim LaTorre 10% Mostly large and mid-sized companies Growth at Reasonable Price

Northern Cross LLC was added as a sub-advisor in September 2007 and as a result the target asset allocations for the fund’s managers were adjusted. The new target allocations have been set with the goal of maintaining a similar balance across investment styles as was in place prior to the addition of Northern Cross. In addition to the new allocation for Northern Cross, the target allocation to Marsico was increased, while the target allocations to Thornburg and Mastholm have decreased correspondingly. The Advisor will seek to execute the allocation changes by directing the majority of new cash flows into the underweighted managers until such time as the target weights are reached. Another consideration in allocating new cash flows will be to maintain the fund’s current and target style balance. The target allocations listed in the table for Northern Cross and Marsico are likely to be achieved by or before 12/31/08, though this timing is not certain. Longer term it is likely that Northern Cross LLC will be raised to a higher allocation in line with other sub-advisors, with the other sub-advisors allocations dropping by a corresponding amount.
