INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

THIS INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) made as of the 27^th day of February, 2007, by and between Rogé Partners Funds, a Delaware business trust (the “Trust”), on behalf of the Rogé Select Opportunities Fund (hereinafter referred to as the “Fund”) and R.W. Rogé & Company, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a registered investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Trust is an open-end management investment company, registered as such under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”); and

WHEREAS, the Adviser is an investment adviser, registered as such under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), and is engaged in the business of supplying investment advice, investment management and administrative services, as an independent contractor; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and the mutual premises hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, mutually agree as follows:

1.        Appointment of Adviser.  The Trust hereby appoints the Adviser and the Adviser hereby accepts such appointment, to render investment advice and management services with respect to the assets of the Fund for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement, subject to the supervision and direction of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”).

2.        Duties of Adviser.

(a)

General Duties.  The Adviser shall perform the management and administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund that are not otherwise provided by third party service providers.  The Adviser shall, subject to the supervision of the Board, perform various services for the Fund, including but not limited to: (1) providing the Fund with office space, equipment and facilities (which may be its own) for maintaining its organization; and (2) on behalf of the Fund, supervising relations with, and monitoring the performance of, custodians, depositories, fund administrators, transfer, dividend disbursing, accounting and pricing agents, independent auditors, attorneys, underwriters, brokers and dealers, insurers and other persons in any capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable.

(b)

Investment Advisory Services.  The Adviser shall act as investment adviser to the Fund and shall manage the investments of the Fund on behalf of the Fund in accordance with the investment objectives, programs and restrictions of the Fund as provided in the Trust’s governing documents, including, without limitation, the Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws, or otherwise and such other limitations as the Board of Trustees may impose from time to time in writing to the Adviser.  In this regard, the Adviser shall regularly make decisions as to what securities and other investments to purchase and sell on behalf of the Fund, and shall effect the purchase and sale of such investments.  The Adviser shall also have discretion to vote any proxy solicited by a Fund’s portfolio company, again subject to the ultimate supervision of the Board.  In performing these services, the Adviser may hire one or more sub-advisers (the “Sub-Advisers”) for the Fund to carry out the investment program of the Fund (subject to the approval of the Board and shareholders of the Fund, except as otherwise permitted under the terms of any exemptive relief obtained by the Adviser from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), or by rule or regulation).  To the extent that the Adviser does hire any Sub-Adviser, it will thereafter continuously review, supervise and (where appropriate) administer the investment program of the Fund.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Adviser shall, or direct any Sub-Adviser to:  (i) furnish the Fund with advice and recommendations with respect to the investment of the Fund’s assets and the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the Fund, including selecting brokers and effecting transactions or taking of such other steps as may be necessary to implement such advice and recommendations; (ii) furnish the Fund with reports, statements and other data on securities, economic conditions and other pertinent subjects which the Board may reasonably request; (iii) manage the investments of the Fund, subject to the ultimate supervision and direction of the Board; (iv) vote proxies solicited by portfolio companies; (v) provide persons satisfactory to the Board to act as officers and employees of the Trust and the Fund (such officers and employees, as well as certain trustees, may be trustees, directors, officers, partners, or employees of the Adviser or its affiliates) but not including personnel to provide administrative services or distribution services to the Fund; and (vi) render to the Board such periodic and special reports with respect to the Fund’s investment activities as the Board may reasonably request.  The investment policies and all other actions of the Fund are and shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of the Fund’s Board.

(c)

Brokerage.  The Adviser or a Sub-Adviser shall place orders for the purchase and sale of securities either directly with the issuer or with a broker or dealer selected by the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser.  In placing the Fund’s securities trades, it is recognized that the Adviser or Sub-Adviser will give primary consideration to securing the most favorable price and efficient execution, so that the Fund’s total cost or proceeds in each transaction will be the most favorable under all the circumstances.  Within the framework of this policy, the Adviser may consider the financial responsibility, research and investment information, and other services provided by brokers or dealers who may effect or be a party to any such transaction or other transactions to which other clients of the Adviser or Sub-Adviser may be a party.

It is also understood that it is desirable for the Fund that the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser have access to investment and market research and securities and economic analyses provided by brokers and others.  It is also understood that brokers providing such services may execute brokerage transactions at a higher cost to the Fund than might result from the allocation of brokerage to other brokers on the basis of seeking the most favorable price and efficient execution.  Therefore, the purchase and sale of securities for the Fund may be made with brokers who provide such research and analysis, subject to review by the Board from time to time with respect to the extent and continuation of this practice to determine whether the Fund benefits, directly or indirectly, from such practice.  It is understood by both parties that the Adviser may select broker-dealers for the execution of the Fund’s portfolio transactions who provide research and analysis as the Adviser may lawfully and appropriately use in its investment management and advisory capacities, whether or not such research and analysis may also be useful to the Adviser or Sub-Adviser in connection with its services to other clients.

On occasions when the Adviser or a Sub-Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interest of the Fund as well as of other clients, the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may aggregate the securities to be so purchased or sold in order to obtain the most favorable price or lower brokerage commissions and the most efficient execution.  In such event, allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Adviser or Sub-Adviser in the manner it considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to such other clients.

The Adviser is authorized to direct, or to permit any Sub-Adviser to direct, portfolio transactions to a broker-dealer which is an affiliated person of the Adviser or the Trust in accordance with such standards and procedures as may be approved by the Board in accordance with 1940 Act Rule 17e-1, or other rules promulgated by the SEC.  Any transaction placed with an affiliated broker-dealer must (i) be placed at the best available execution, and (ii) may not be a principal transaction.

(d)

Administrative Services.  The Adviser shall oversee the administration of the Fund’s business and affairs although the provision of administrative services, to the extent not covered by subparagraphs (a) or (b) above, is not the obligation of the Adviser under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Adviser shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Fund for all or a portion of the reasonable costs and expenses, including salary, associated with the provision by Adviser of personnel to render administrative services to the Fund.

3.

Best Efforts and Judgment.  The Adviser shall use its best efforts and judgment in rendering the advice and services to the Fund as contemplated by this Agreement.

4.

Independent Contractor.  The Adviser shall, for all purposes herein, be deemed to be an independent contractor, and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided and authorized to do so, have no authority to act for or represent the Trust or the Fund in any way, or in any way be deemed an agent for the Trust or for the Fund.  It is expressly understood and agreed that the services to be rendered by the Adviser to the Fund under the provisions of this Agreement are not to be deemed exclusive, and the Adviser shall be free to render similar or different services to others so long as its ability to render the services provided for in this Agreement shall not be impaired thereby.

5.

Adviser’s Personnel.  The Adviser or its affiliates shall, at its own expense, maintain such staff and employ or retain such personnel and consult with such other persons as it shall from time to time determine to be necessary to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the staff and personnel of the Adviser shall be deemed to include persons employed or retained by the Adviser to furnish statistical information, research, and other factual information, advice regarding economic factors and trends, information with respect to technical and scientific developments, and such other information, advice and assistance as the Adviser or the Board may desire and reasonably request.

6.

Reports by Fund to Adviser.  The Fund will from time to time furnish to the Adviser detailed statements of its investments and assets, and information as to its investment objective and needs, and will make available to the Adviser such financial reports, proxy statements, legal and other information relating to the Fund’s investments as may be in its possession or available to it, together with such other information as the Adviser may reasonably request.

7.

Certain Records.     Any records required to be maintained and preserved pursuant to the provisions of Rules 31a-1, 31a-2 and 31a-3 promulgated under the 1940 Act which are prepared or maintained by the Adviser (or any sub-adviser) on behalf of the Trust are the property of the Trust and will be surrendered promptly to the Trust on request.  The Adviser further agrees to preserve for the periods prescribed in said Rules, the records required to be maintained thereunder.

8.

Expenses.

(a)

With respect to the operation of the Fund, the Adviser is responsible for (i) the compensation of any of the Trust’s trustees, officers, and employees who are affiliates of the Adviser (but not the compensation of employees performing services in connection with expenses which are the Fund’s responsibility under Subparagraph 8(b) below), and (ii) providing personnel, office space and equipment reasonably necessary to fulfill the Adviser’s duties under this Agreement.

(b)

The Fund is responsible for and has assumed the obligation for payment of all of its expenses, other than as stated in Subparagraph 8(a) above, including but not limited to: fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance, registration and transfer of its shares; brokerage and commission expenses; all expenses of transfer, receipt, safekeeping, servicing and accounting for the cash, securities and other property of the Trust for the benefit of the Fund including all fees and expenses of its custodian, fund administrator, shareholder services agent and accounting services agent; interest charges on any borrowings; costs and expenses of pricing and calculating its daily net asset value and of maintaining its books of account required under the 1940 Act; taxes, if any; expenditures in connection with meetings of the Fund’s shareholders and Board that are properly payable by the Fund; salaries and expenses of officers and fees and expenses of members of the Board or members of any advisory board or committee who are not members of, affiliated with or interested persons of the Adviser; insurance premiums on property or personnel of each Fund which inure to its benefit, including liability and fidelity bond insurance; the cost of preparing and printing reports, proxy statements, prospectuses and statements of additional information of the Fund or other communications for distribution to existing shareholders; legal, auditing and accounting fees; trade association dues; fees and expenses (including legal fees) of obtaining and maintaining any required registration or notification for its shares for sale under federal and applicable state and foreign securities laws; all expenses of maintaining and servicing shareholder accounts, including all charges for transfer, shareholder recordkeeping, dividend disbursing, redemption, and other agents for the benefit of the Fund, if any; and all other charges and costs of its operation plus any extraordinary and non-recurring expenses, except as herein otherwise prescribed.

(c)

To the extent the Adviser incurs any costs by assuming expenses which are an obligation of the Fund as set forth herein, the Fund shall promptly reimburse the Adviser for such costs and expenses, except to the extent the Adviser has otherwise agreed to bear such expenses.  To the extent the services for which the Fund is obligated to pay are performed by the Adviser, the Adviser shall be entitled to recover from the Fund to the extent of the Adviser’s actual costs for providing such services.

9.

Management Fee.

(a)

The Fund shall pay to the Adviser, and the Adviser agrees to accept, as full compensation for all administrative and investment management and advisory services furnished or provided to the Fund pursuant to this Agreement, a management fee as set forth in the Fund and Fee Schedule attached hereto as Appendix A, as may be amended in writing from time to time by the Trust and the Adviser.

(b)

The initial fee under this Agreement shall be payable on the first business day of the first month following the effective date of this Agreement and shall be prorated as set forth below.  If this Agreement is terminated before the end of any month, the fee to the Adviser shall be prorated for the portion of any month in which this Agreement is in effect which is not a complete month according to the proportion which the number of calendar days in the month during which the Agreement is in effect bears to the number of calendar days in the month, and shall be payable within ten (10) days after the date of termination.

(c)

Fee Reduction. The Adviser may, but is not required to, voluntarily or contractually reduce all or a portion of its fees and/or make payments for other expenses in order to decrease the operating expenses of the Fund.  Any such reduction or payment (a “subsidy” or collectively “subsidies”) shall be applicable only to such specific subsidy and shall not constitute an agreement to continue such subsidy in the future.  Any such subsidy will be agreed to prior to accrual of the related expense or fee and will be estimated daily and reconciled and paid on a monthly basis.  The Adviser may seek reimbursement of any subsidies made by the Adviser either voluntarily or pursuant to contract.  The reimbursement of any subsidy must be approved by the Board and must be sought no later than the end of the third fiscal year following the year to which the subsidy relates if the aggregate expenses for that period do not exceed any more restrictive limitation to which the Adviser has agreed (subsidies available for reimbursement to the Adviser are collectively referred to as the “Recoupment Balance”) and the Board approves the reimbursement. For example, subsidized operating expenses relating to the period July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004 would no longer be eligible for reimbursement after July 1, 2007. The Adviser agrees not to request or seek reimbursement of subsidized operating expenses that are no longer eligible for reimbursement.  The Adviser may not request or receive reimbursement of the Recoupment Balance before payment of the Fund’s operating expenses for the current year and cannot cause the Fund to exceed any agreed upon expense limitation for that year in making such reimbursement.

(d)

The Adviser may agree not to require payment of any portion of the compensation or reimbursement of expenses otherwise due to it pursuant to this Agreement prior to the time such compensation or reimbursement has accrued as a liability of the Fund.  Any such agreement shall be applicable only with respect to the specific items covered thereby and shall not constitute an agreement not to require payment of any future compensation or reimbursement due to the Adviser hereunder.

10.

Conflicts with Trust’s Governing Documents and Applicable Laws.  Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require the Trust or the Fund to take any action contrary to the Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust, By-Laws, or any applicable statute or regulation, or to relieve or deprive the Board of the Trust of its responsibility for and control of the conduct of the affairs of the Trust and Fund.

11.

Adviser’s Liabilities.

(a)

In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser, the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Trust or the Fund or to any shareholder of the Fund for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security by the Fund.

(b)

The Fund shall indemnify and hold harmless the Adviser, its managing member and the shareholders, directors, officers and employees of each of them (any such person, an “Indemnified Party”) against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating and defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damage or expenses and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising out of the Indemnified Party’s performance or non-performance of any duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to protect any Indemnified Party against any liability to which such Indemnified Party would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement; and provided, further, that this provision shall not be construed as a waiver or limitation of any rights which the Trust or the Fund may have under applicable federal securities laws.
