Performance

The following performance information indicates some of the risks of investing in the Fund.  The bar chart shows how the Fund’s total return has varied from year to year.  The table shows the Fund’s average annual total return over time (before and after taxes) compared with a broad-based market index.  This past performance will not necessarily continue in the future.
 
Calendar Year Total Returns*
Graph from page 4
* The Fund’s year-to-date return as of September 30, 2008 was -18.88%.
 
During the period s shown in the bar chart, the Fund’s highest quarterly return was 25.11% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, and the lowest quarterly return was -22.37% for the quarter ended September 30, 1998.

 (1)  After tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes.  Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.  In certain cases, the figure representing “Return a fter t axes on d istributions and s ale of f und s hares” may be higher than the other return figures for the same period. A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor.  
(2) The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the market for the stocks of large-sized U.S. companies.  You may not invest directly in the S&P 500 Index and, unlike the Fund, it does not incur fees and expenses.

* The redemption fee applies to those shares that you have held for 60 days or less.  The fee is payable to the Fund and is intended to benefit the remaining shareholders by reducing the costs of short-term trading.   Shareholders will be charged a fee by the Fund’s transfer agent for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders.

** Includes 0.01% of interest expense and regular Fund expenses such as administration and audit costs.  Also reflects the pro rata portion of the net operating expenses of any acquired fund (i.e., any money market fund or other fund) held by the Fund.  Shareholders indirectly bear these acquired fund fees and expenses because the net asset values of those underlying funds reflect such expenses.

*** The Advisor has contractually agreed to reimburse the management fees and/or net expenses of the Fund for an indefinite period, which would include the 1, 3, 5, and 10 year periods shown below in the Example, to ensure that the Fund’s net annual fund operating expenses (excluding any taxes, interest, brokerage commissions or extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.10% of its average daily net assets.   For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Fund’s net annual fund operating expenses were 1.10%, not including interest expense. In addition, the Advisor voluntarily reimbursed the Fund for expenses in excess of 0.99%, including interest expense .  The Advisor may request a reimbursement of any reduction in management fees or payment of expenses made by the Advisor in subsequent fiscal years if the Fund’s expenses are less than the above limit agreed to by the Fund.  Any such reimbursement is subject to review and approval by the Fund’s Board of Directors.  Currently, the Advisor has agreed not to seek reimbursement of such management fee reductions and/or expense payments.  For more information, see “Investment Advisor – Fund Expenses,” below .
 
 
Example
 
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.  The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that dividends and distributions are reinvested and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.  Please note that the figures below are based on the Fund’s net contractual expenses resulting from the fee reduction described above.  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, under the assumptions, your costs would be:

Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies

The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve a total rate of return which is comprised of capital appreciation and current income.  The Fund invests primarily in both dividend and non-dividend paying common stocks of domestic companies.  The Fund selects investment securities that are financially strong and meet specific valuation criteria using the principles of value investing based on Classic Valuation Analysis.

Classic Valuation Analysis

Classic Valuation Analysis is an investment methodology based on principles developed over 7 0 years ago by Benjamin Graham.  The underlying principle of Classic Valuation Analysis is “Buy value . . . it will out [perform]. ”  Using valuation models, statistics such as earnings growth, dividend growth, return on equity and book value are analyzed versus their historical, current and projected levels to determine a company’s “Fair Value”.  Value criteria requires companies to have a strong financial position, as measured by balance sheet data, and current low stock market valuation in comparison to investment “Fair” value as measured by historic and current earnings, dividends, return on equity and book value.

Consistent with the principles of Classic Valuation Analysis, the Fund diversifies its portfolio over a range of companies and industries.   The Fund may invest in any sector.  At times it may overweight one or more particular sectors, and/or underweight or even abstain from one or more particular sectors.   Once an equity investment has been purchased for the Fund’s portfolio, it generally is sold for one of two reasons:
 
  the security no longer represents a value, as determined by the Advisor, or
   
there has been a fundamental change in the issuer’s balance sheet or results of operations so that it no longer meets the Fund’s financial or valuation criteria.

In addition, the Fund may, in unusual circumstances, sell a security at a time when the sale is not indicated by Classic Valuation Analysis to avoid adverse tax consequences or to meet abnormally heavy redemption requests.

The Fund anticipates that it will have a low rate of portfolio turnover, which may lead to lower transaction costs and may help to improve Fund performance.

Temporary Defensive Strategies

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will stay fully invested in stocks.  The Fund, however, may temporarily depart from its principal investment strategies by investing up to 100% of its assets in cash, cash equivalents or high quality short-term money market instruments, in response to adverse market, economic or political conditions, or in other appropriate circumstances.  If this type of defensive strategy is employed, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund

The principal risks that may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) or total return are summarized above under “An Overview of the Fund.”  These risks are discussed in more detail below.

Management Risk.  Management risk means that your investment in the Fund varies with the success or failure of the Advisor’s investment strategies and the Advisor’s research, analysis and determination of portfolio securities.  If the Advisor’s investment strategies do not produce the expected results, your investment could be diminished or even lost.

Market Risk.  Market risk means that the price of the Fund’s portfolio may move up or down (sometimes rapidly and unpredictably) in response to general market and economic conditions, investor perception and anticipated events, as well as the activities of the particular issuer.  Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, section of the economy or the market as a whole.  Since the Fund invests in equity securities, its share price will change daily in response to stock market movements.

Sector Emphasis Risk. Investing a substantial portion of the Fund’s assets in related industries or sectors may have greater risks because companies in these sectors may share common characteristics and may react similarly to market developments.

Undervalued Stocks Risk.  Undervalued stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks.  Undervalued stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks.  However, these stocks can continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time and may not realize their full economic value.

Portfolio Holdings

A schedule of the Fund’s complete portfolio holdings, current as of month-end, will be available on the Fund’s website no earlier than 15 days after the end of each month.  This information will remain available on the website at least until updated for the next month or until the Fund files with the Securities and Exchange Commission its semi-annual/annual shareholder report or quarterly portfolio holdings report that includes such period.  The most recent schedule is available on the Fund’s website at http://www.matrixadvisorsvaluefund.com or by calling toll free at 1- 800-366-6223.  The Fund may terminate or modify this policy at any time without further notice to shareholders. A description of the Fund’s policies and procedures regarding disclosure of the Fund’s portfolio securities is available in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”).

Investment Advisor

Matrix Asset Advisors, Inc. is the investment advisor to the Fund.  The Advisor’s address is 747 Third Avenue, 31st Floor, New York, New York 10017.  The Advisor has provided investment advisory services to individuals, endowment, and pension accounts since 1986.  As of September 30, 2008 , the Advisor managed assets of approximately $ 1.25 billion.  The Advisor provides the Fund with advice on buying and selling securities.  The Advisor also furnishes the Fund with office space and certain administrative services and provides most of the personnel needed by the Fund.  For its services, the Fund pays the Advisor a monthly management fee based upon its average daily net assets.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 , the Advisor received advisory fees of 0.66 % of the Fund’s average daily net assets, after fee waivers.

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Directors’ approval of the investment advisory agreement with the Advisor is available in the Fund’s s emi- a nnual r eport to shareholders for the most recent fiscal period ended December 31.

Portfolio Manager

Mr. David A. Katz, President of the Fund, is primarily responsible for the management of the Fund’s portfolio.  Mr. Katz has been President and Chief Investment Officer of the Advisor and a principal shareholder of the Advisor for over twenty years.  The Fund’s SAI provides additional information about the portfolio manager’s compensation, other accounts managed by the portfolio manager and the portfolio manager’s ownership of securities of the Fund.

Fund Expenses

The Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses.  The Advisor has contractually agreed to reimburse the management fees and/or expenses of the Fund to ensure that the Fund’s net annual fund operating expenses (excluding any taxes, interest, brokerage commissions or extraordinary expenses ) will not exceed 1.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.  The Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement between the Fund and the Advisor (the “Waiver Agreement”) will remain in effect indefinitely; however, it may be terminated at any time, and without payment of any penalty, by the Board of Directors of the Fund, upon sixty days’ written notice to the Advisor.  The Waiver Agreement may not be terminated by the Advisor without the consent of the Board of Directors of the Fund.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 , the Advisor voluntarily reimbursed the Fund for expenses in excess of 0.99% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, including interest expense .  Any reduction in advisory fees or payment of expenses made by the Advisor may be reimbursed by the Fund upon request by the Advisor in subsequent fiscal years.  This reimbursement may be requested if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Fund toward operating expenses for such fiscal year (taking into account the reimbursement) does not exceed the applicable limitation on Fund expenses.  The Advisor is permitted to be reimbursed for management fee reductions and/or expense payments made in the prior three fiscal years.  Any such reimbursement will be reviewed by the Fund’s Board of Directors.  The Fund must pay its current ordinary operating expenses before the Advisor is entitled to any reimbursement of management fees and/or expenses.  Currently, the Advisor has agreed not to seek reimbursement of such management fee reductions and/or expense payments.

Investment Brokers or Dealers

You may buy, sell or exchange shares of the Fund through certain brokers (and their agents) that have made arrangements with the Fund to sell its shares.  For certain qualified brokers , when you place your order with such a broker or its authorized agent, your order is treated as if you had placed it directly with the Transfer Agent, and you will pay or receive the next share price calculated by the Fund.  The broker (or agent) generally holds your shares in an omnibus account in the broker’s (or agent’s) name, and the broker (or agent) maintains your individual ownership records.  The Advisor may pay the broker (or its agent) for maintaining these records as well as providing other shareholder services.  The broker (or its agent) may charge you a fee for handling your order.  The broker (or agent) is responsible for processing your order correctly and promptly, keeping you advised regarding the status of your individual account, confirming your transactions and ensuring that you receive copies of the Fund’s prospectus.

Retirement Plans

The Fund offers an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”) plan. You may obtain information about opening an IRA plan account by calling the Transfer Agent at 1-866-209-1965.

How to Sell Shares

You may sell (redeem) or exchange your Fund shares on any date the Fund and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) are open for business.  The Fund is intended for long-term investors.  Short-term “market-timers” who engage in frequent purchases and redemptions can disrupt the Fund’s investment program and create additional transaction costs that are borne by all shareholders.  In accordance with the Fund’s frequent trading policies and procedures (see  “Frequent Trading,” below ), the Fund assesses a 1.00% fee on redemptions or exchanges of Fund shares purchased and held for 60 days or less.  This fee is payable to the Fund and is intended to benefit the remaining shareholders by reducing the costs of short-term trading.  Although the Fund has the goal of applying this redemption fee to most such redemptions, the redemption fee may not apply in certain circumstances where it is not currently practicable for the Fund to impose the fee, such as redemptions of shares held in certain omnibus accounts,  IRA or other retirement plans that cannot implement the redemption fee.  In addition, the fee does not apply to shares purchased through reinvested Fund distributions . Furthermore, the Fund, in its discretion, after consideration of the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders, may choose not to apply the redemption fee to redemptions that do not indicate market timing strategies.  The Fund’s decision not to apply the redemption fee under circumstances where frequent trading strategies are not indicated is intended to ensure that the best interests of shareholders are promoted.  In making such a decision, however, the Fund cannot guarantee that it will be effective in detecting and preventing frequent trading in whole or in part.

You may redeem your shares by sending a written request to the Transfer Agent or by telephone as discussed below.  You should give your account number and state whether you want all or some of your shares redeemed.  The letter should be signed by all of the shareholders whose names appear on the account registration.  Corporations, executors, administrators, trustees or guardians must submit documents evidencing their authority to act.  Certain redemptions require a signature guarantee.  Call the Transfer Agent for details.  You should send your redemption request to:

Regular Mail
Matrix Advisors Value Fund, Inc.
c/o U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC
P.O. Box 701
Milwaukee, WI 53201-0701
Overnight Delivery
Matrix Advisors Value Fund, Inc.
c/o U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC
615 E. Michigan Street, 3rd Floor
Milwaukee, WI 53202-5207

Please do not send letters by overnight delivery service or express mail to the P. O . Box address.

Payment of your redemption proceeds will be made promptly, but not later than seven days after the receipt of your written request in proper form as discussed in this Prospectus. If you did not purchase your shares via wire, the Fund may delay payment of your redemption proceeds for up to 15 days from date of purchase or until your check has cleared, whichever occurs first.

The Fund may redeem the shares in your account if the value of your account is less than $1,000 as a result of redemptions you have made.  This does not apply to IRA or other retirement plans , or Uniform Gifts or Transfers to Minors Act accounts.  You will be notified that the value of your account is less than $1,000 before the Fund makes an involuntary redemption.  You will then have 30 days in which to make an additional investment to bring the value of your account up to at least $1,000 before the Fund takes any action.

The Fund has the right to pay redemption proceeds to you in whole or in part by a distribution of securities from the Fund’s portfolio.  It is not expected that the Fund would do so except in unusual circumstances.  If the Fund pays your redemption proceeds by a distribution of securities, you could incur brokerage or other charges in converting the securities to cash and will bear any market risks associated with such securities until they are converted into cash.

Shareholders may request that redemption proceeds of $1,000 or more be wired directly to a bank account.  If you did not purchase your shares via wire, the Fund may delay payment of your redemption proceeds for up to 15 days from date of purchase or until your check has cleared, whichever occurs first.

Signature Guarantee

Your signature must be guaranteed if: (a) the proceeds of any redemption exceed $50,000; (b) ownership has changed on your account; (c) redemption proceeds are sent to any person, address or bank account not on record, (d) redemptions are transmitted by federal wire transfer (if not previously authorized on the account); (e) a change of address request has been received by the Transfer Agent within the last 15 days; or (f) you establish or modify certain services on your account.  In addition to the situations described above, the Fund and/or the Transfer Agent may require a signature guarantee in other instances based on the circumstances relative to the particular situation.  Signature guarantees will generally be accepted from domestic banks, brokers, dealers, credit unions, national securities exchanges, registered securities associations, clearing agencies and savings associations as well as from participants in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP) and the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program (NYSE MSP).  A notary public is not an acceptable signature guarantee.

Additional documentation may be required for the redemption of shares held in corporate, partnership or fiduciary accounts.  In case of any questions, please contact the Fund in advance by calling 1-866-209-1965.

Telephone Transactions

When you establish any telephone privileges, you must check the appropriate box on the Account Application.  Amounts of $50,000 or less can be redeemed by telephone.  Proceeds redeemed will be mailed or wired only to an investor’s address or bank of record shown on the records of the Transfer Agent.

When you establish any telephone privileges, you are authorizing the Fund and its Transfer Agent to act upon the telephone instructions of the person or persons you have designated on your Account Application.  Before acting on instructions received by telephone, the Fund and the Transfer Agent will use reasonable procedures to confirm that the telephone instructions are genuine.  These procedures may include recording the telephone call and asking the caller for a form of personal identification.  The Fund reserves the right to refuse a telephone request if it believes that the person making the request is neither the record owner of the shares nor otherwise authorized by the shareholder to request the transaction.  If the Fund and the Transfer Agent follow these procedures, they will not be liable for any loss, expense, or cost arising out of any telephone transaction request that is reasonably believed to be genuine.  This includes any fraudulent or unauthorized request.   Once a telephone transaction is placed, it cannot be cancelled or modified.   The Fund may change, modify or terminate these privileges at any time upon at least 60 days’ notice to shareholders.
 
 
12

 
In order to arrange for the telephone redemption privilege after an account has been opened, or to change the bank account or address designated to receive redemption proceeds, a written request must be sent to the Transfer Agent.  The request must be signed by each shareholder of the account and may require signatures guaranteed.  Further documentation may be requested from corporations, executors, administrators, trustees and guardians.

Exchange Privilege

You may exchange your Fund shares in amounts of $100 or more for shares of the First American Prime Obligations Fund ( the “Prime Obligations Fund”), a money market fund affiliated with the Fund’s Custodian and Transfer Agent.  Prior to making such exchange, you should obtain and carefully read the prospectus for the Prime Obligations Fund.  An exchange generally is a taxable event.  See “Tax Consequences,” below .

You may exchange your shares by sending a written request to the Transfer Agent. You should give the name of the Fund, your name, and account number and the number of shares or dollar amount to be exchanged.  The letter should be signed by all of the persons whose names appear on the account registration.

If you complete the Exchange Privilege Authorization option on the Account Application, you may exchange all or some of your shares by calling the Transfer Agent at 1-866-209-1965 before the close of regular trading on the NYSE.  This is normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time.

The Fund reserves the right , upon notice to shareholders, to limit the number of exchanges you may make in any year to avoid excess Fund expenses.  Once an exchange request is made, either in writing or by telephone, it may not be modified or canceled.  The Fund may modify, restrict or terminate the exchange privilege at any time.

You may request telephone exchange privileges after your account is opened by calling the Transfer Agent at 1-866-209-1965 for instructions.

You may have difficulties in making a telephone exchange during periods of abnormal market activity. If this occurs, you may make your exchange request in writing.

Pricing of Fund Shares

The price of the Fund’s shares is based on the Fund’s NAV.  This is calculated by dividing the Fund’s assets, minus its liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding.  The Fund’s assets are the value of securities held in its portfolio, plus any cash and other assets.  The Fund’s liabilities are fees and expenses owed by the Fund.  The number of Fund shares outstanding is the amount of shares which have been issued to shareholders.  The price you will pay to buy Fund shares or the amount you will receive when you sell your Fund shares is based on the NAV next calculated after your order is received by the Transfer Agent with complete information and meeting all the requirements discussed in this Prospectus.  Applications for purchase of shares and requests for redemption of shares received after the close of trading on the exchange will be based upon the NAV as determined as of the close of trading on the next day the exchange is open.
 
 
13

 
The NAV of the Fund’s shares is determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time.  Fund shares will not be priced on days that the NYSE is closed for trading (including weekends and certain U.S. holidays).

Fair Value Pricing

The Fund generally values short-term fixed income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at amortized cost.  The Fund’s other investments are valued principally according to market value when market quotations are readily available.  When a market quote is not readily available, the security’s value is based on “fair value” as determined in good faith by using procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Directors.  In determining fair value, the Fund will seek to assign a value to the security which it believes represents the amount that the Fund could reasonably expect to receive upon the security’s current sale.  With respect to securities that are actively traded on U.S. exchanges, the Fund expects that market quotations will generally be available and that fair value might be used only in limited circumstances, such as when trading for a security is halted during the trading day or a security is thinly-traded.  Fair value pricing involves judgments that are inherently subjective and inexact, and it is not possible to determine with certainty when, and to what extent, an event will affect a market price.  As a result, there can be no assurance that fair value pricing will reflect actual market value and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may differ materially from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security.

The value of any shares of open-end mutual funds held by the Fund will be calculated using the NAV of such funds.  The prospectuses for any such open-end mutual funds should explain the circumstances under which the funds use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.

Frequent Trading

The Fund discourages short-term or excessive trading (“frequent trading”) of its shares by shareholders (including by means of exchanges) and maintains procedures reasonably designed to detect and deter such frequent trading.  The Fund’s Board of Directors has adopted a policy and procedures that are designed to detect and deter frequent trading.  Frequent trading is sometimes referred to as market timing.  Market timing may take many forms but commonly refers to arbitrage activity involving the frequent buying and selling of mutual fund shares in order to take advantage of the fact that there may be a lag between a change in the value of a mutual fund’s portfolio securities and the reflection of that change in the mutual fund’s share price.  Frequent trading may dilute the value of Fund shares held by long-term shareholders.  Frequent trading may also interfere with the efficient management of the Fund’s portfolio, as it may result in the Fund maintaining higher cash balances than it otherwise would or cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at a time it otherwise would not.  Frequent trading may further result in increased portfolio transaction (or brokerage) costs, administrative and other operating costs and may cause the Fund to realize taxable capital gains or harvest capital losses at a time that it otherwise would not.  For these reasons, frequent trading poses the risk of lower returns for long-term shareholders of the Fund.  There is no guarantee that these policies and procedures will be effective in detecting and preventing frequent trading in whole or in part.
 
 
14

 
In addition, while the Fund has no present intention to invest a significant portion of its assets in foreign securities, to the extent that it does invest in foreign securities traded primarily on markets that close prior to the time the Fund determines its NAV, frequent trading by some shareholders may, in certain circumstances, dilute the value of Fund shares held by other shareholders.  This may occur when an event that affects the value of the foreign security takes place after the close of the primary foreign market, but before the time that the Fund determines its NAV.  Certain investors may seek to take advantage of the fact that there will be a delay in the adjustment of the market price for a security caused by this event until the foreign market reopens (referred to as price arbitrage).  If this occurs, the market timers who attempt this type of price arbitrage may dilute the value of the Fund’s shares to the extent they receive shares or proceeds based upon NAVs that have been calculated using the closing market prices for foreign securities.  In an effort to prevent price arbitrage, the Fund has procedures designed to adjust closing market prices of foreign securities before the Fund calculates its NAV when it believes such an event has occurred.  Prices are adjusted to reflect what the Fund believes are the fair values of these foreign securities at the time the Fund determines its NAV (called fair value pricing).  Fair value pricing, however, involves judgments that are inherently subjective and inexact, since it is not possible to always be sure when an event will affect a market price and to what extent.  As a result, there can be no assurance that fair value pricing will always eliminate the risk of price arbitrage.  The risk of price arbitrage also exists with thinly-traded securities in the United States, such as some small-cap italization equity securities.  Such securities are typically less liquid and more thinly-traded than securities of large capitalization issuers.  Developments affecting issuers of thinly-traded or less liquid securities will not be reflected in their market price until the security trades again in the marketplace.  Frequent traders may seek to exploit this delay by engaging in price arbitrage, in this case by buying or selling shares of the Fund prior to the time of the adjustment of the market price of securities in its portfolio.  This may result in the dilution of the value of the Fund’s shares.  The Fund may employ fair value pricing to these types of securities if it determines that the last quoted market price no longer represents the fair value of the security.

The Fund monitors selected trades in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, the Fund believes that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, it may, in its discretion, ask the shareholder to stop such activities or refuse to process purchases in the shareholder’s accounts. In making such judgments, the Fund seeks to act in a manner that it believes is consistent with the best interests of shareholders.  Due to the complexity and subjectivity involved in identifying abusive trading activity and the volume of shareholder transactions the Fund handles, there can be no assurance that the Fund’s efforts will identify all trades or trading practices that may be considered abusive. In addition, the Fund’s ability to monitor trades that are placed by individual shareholders within group, or omnibus, accounts maintained by financial intermediaries is severely limited because the Fund does not have simultaneous access to the underlying shareholder account information.

In compliance with Rule 22c-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, Quasar Distributors, LLC , the Fund’s distributor, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into written agreements with each of the Fund’s financial intermediaries, under which the intermediary must, upon request, provide the Fund with certain shareholder and identity trading information so that the Fund can enforce its market timing policies.

As indicated above under “How to Buy Shares , ” the Fund reserves the right to refuse any purchase or exchange order for its shares for any reasons, including transactions deemed by the Fund to represent frequent trading activity.  In addition, as indicated above under “How to Sell Shares,” the Fund will assess a 1.00% fee on redemptions or exchanges of Fund shares purchased and held for 60 days or less.  This fee is payable to the Fund and is intended to benefit the remaining shareholders by reducing the costs of short-term trading.  The Fund may change its policies relating to frequent trading at any time without prior notice to shareholders.

Distributions

The Fund will make distributions of investment income and capital gains, if any, at least annually, typically after year-end.

All distributions will be reinvested in Fund shares unless you choose one of the following options: (1) to receive distributions of investment income in cash, while reinvesting capital gain distributions in additional Fund shares; or (2) to receive all distributions in cash.

If an investor elects to receive distributions in cash and the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver your check, or if a check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund reserves the right to reinvest the distribution check in the shareholder’s account at the Fund’s then current NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions.  If you wish to change your distribution option, write to the Transfer Agent in advance of the payment date of the distribution.

Tax Consequences

The Fund intends to make distributions of net investment company taxable income (which includes interest, dividends and short-term capital gains) and net capital gains (net long-term capital gains less net short-term capital losses).  Distributions of net investment company taxable income are taxed at ordinary income rates; however, all or a portion of such distributions may be designated as consisting of “qualified dividend” income eligible for the reduced rate of taxation applicable to long-term capital gains, currently 15% for individuals, if, among other requirements, certain holding periods are met.  Distributions of net capital gain will be taxed at long-term capital gain rates and will not depend on how long you have owned your Fund shares.  However, any loss you realize on shares held six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss (which is subject to limitations on deductibility) to the extent of distributions of net capital gains received on such shares.  You will be taxed in the same manner whether you receive your distributions in cash or reinvest them in additional Fund shares.

If you sell or exchange your Fund shares, it is considered a taxable event for you.  Depending on the purchase price and the sale price of the shares you exchange or sell, you may have a gain or a loss on the transaction.  You are responsible for any tax liabilities generated by your transaction.  Additional information related to taxes is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.  All potential investors in the Fund are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding an investment in the Fund.

The Fund may be required to withhold federal income tax at a rate of 28% (backup withholding) from distributions and redemption proceeds if a shareholder fails to furnish the Fund with his/her correct social security or tax identification number.  A shareholder must also certify that he/she is not subject to backup withholding .  The certification is included as part of the Account Application form.

Shareholders who have an IRA or other retirement plan must indicate on their redemption request whether or not to withhold federal income tax.  Redemption requests failing to indicate an election not to have tax withheld will generally be subject to 10% withholding.

Householding

In an effort to decrease costs, the Fund will reduce the number of duplicate prospectuses and annual and semi-annual reports that you received by sending only one copy of each to those addresses shown by two or more accounts.  Please call the Transfer Agent toll free at 1-866-209-1965 to request individual copies of these documents.  The Fund will begin sending individual copies 30 days after receiving your request.  This policy does not apply to account statements.

THE FUND

The Fund is an open-end management investment company organized as a Maryland corporation on May 4, 1983. The Fund is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a management investment company. Such a registration does not involve supervision of the management or policies of the Fund. Much of the information contained in this SAI expands on subjects discussed in the Prospectus.  No investment in shares of the Fund should be made without first reading the Prospectus.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES

The Fund is a mutual fund with the investment objective of seeking to achieve a total rate of return, which is comprised of capital appreciation and current income. The Fund is diversified.  Under applicable federal laws, the diversification of a mutual fund’s holdings is measured at the time the Fund purchases a security. However, if the Fund purchases a security and holds it for a period of time, the security may become a larger percentage of the Fund’s total assets due to movements in the financial markets. If the market affects several securities held by a Fund, the Fund may have a greater percentage of its assets invested in securities of fewer issuers.  Then the Fund is subject to the risk that its performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of relatively few securities despite the Fund qualifying as a diversified fund under applicable federal laws.

Whenever an investment policy or limitation states a maximum percentage of the Fund’s assets that may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation will be determined immediately after and as a result of the Fund’s acquisition or sale of such security or other asset.  Accordingly, except with respect to borrowing and illiquid securities, any subsequent change in values, net assets or other circumstances will not be considered in determining whether the Fund complies with its investment policies and limitations.  In addition, if a bankruptcy or other extraordinary event occurs concerning a particular investment by the Fund, the Fund may receive stock, real estate or other investments that the Fund would not, or could not buy.  If this happens the Fund would sell such investments as soon as practicable while trying to maximize the return to its shareholders.

The following discussion supplements the discussion of the Fund’s investment objective and policies as set forth in the Prospectus.  There can be no assurance the objective of the Fund will be attained.

Common Stock

The Fund will invest primarily in common stocks.  Common stock represents a proportionate share of the ownership of a company and its value is based on the success of the company’s business, any income paid to stockholders, the value of its assets, and general market conditions.  In addition to the general market risks described in the Prospectus, investments in common stocks are subject to the risk that if a company in which the Fund invests is liquidated, the holders of preferred stock and creditors of that company will be paid in full before any payments are made to the Fund as a holder of common stock.  It is possible that all assets of that company will be exhausted before any payments are made to the Fund.
 
 
B-2

 
Preferred Stock

The Fund may invest in preferred stocks. A preferred stock is a blend of the characteristics of a bond and common stock.  It can offer the higher yield of a bond and has priority over common stock in equity ownership, but does not have the seniority of a bond and, unlike common stock, its participation in the issuer’s growth may be limited.  Preferred stock has preference over common stock in the receipt of dividends and in any residual assets after payment to creditors should the issuer be dissolved. Although the dividend is set at a fixed annual rate, in some circumstances it can be changed or omitted by the issuer.

Convertible Securities

The Fund may invest in convertible securities (bonds, notes, debentures, preferred stock and other securities convertible into common stocks) that may offer higher income than the common stocks into which they are convertible. The convertible securities in which the Fund may invest include fixed-income or zero coupon debt securities, which may be converted or exchanged at a rated or determinable exchange ratio into underlying shares of common stock. Prior to their conversion, convertible securities may have characteristics similar to non-convertible debt securities. While convertible securities generally offer lower yields than non-convertible debt securities of similar quality, their prices may reflect changes in the value of the underlying common stock. Convertible securities generally entail less credit risk than the issuer’s common stock. In addition to the general market risks described in the Prospectus, the market value of convertible securities is also affected by prevailing interest rates, the credit quality of the issuer and any call provisions.

Investment Companies

The Fund may invest its assets in shares of other registered investment companies.  The Fund’s investments in money market mutual funds may be used for cash management purposes and to maintain liquidity in order to satisfy redemption requests or pay unanticipated expenses.  The Fund limits its investments in securities issued by other investment companies in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”) and consistent with its i nvestment r estrictions herein.  Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act precludes the Fund from acquiring : (i) more than 3% of the total outstanding shares of another investment company; (ii) shares of another investment company having an aggregate value in excess of 5% of the value of the total assets of the Fund; or (iii) shares of another registered investment company and all other investment companies having an aggregate value in excess of 10% of the value of the total assets of the Fund.  However, Section 12(d)(1)(F) of the 1940 Act provides that the provisions of paragraph 12(d) shall not apply to securities purchased or otherwise acquired by the Fund if : (i) immediately after such purchase or acquisition not more than 3% of the total outstanding shares of such investment company is owned by the Fund and all affiliated persons of the Fund; and (ii) the Fund has not offered or sold, and is not proposing to offer or sell its shares through a principal underwriter or otherwise at a public or offering price that includes a sales load of more than 1 1/2%.  These restrictions may not apply to the Fund’s investments in money market mutual funds, if the Fund’s investments fall within the exceptions set forth under the r ules and r egulations of the 1940 Act.
 
 
B-3

 
If the Fund invests in investment companies, pursuant to Section 12(d)(1)(F), it must comply with the following voting restrictions: when the Fund exercises voting rights, by proxy or otherwise, with respect to investment companies owned by the Fund, the Fund will either seek instruction from the Fund’s shareholders with regard to the voting of all proxies and vote in accordance with such instructions, or vote the shares held by the Fund in the same proportion as the vote of all other holders of such security.  In addition, an investment company purchased by the Fund pursuant to Section 12(d)(1)(F) shall not be required to redeem its shares in an amount exceeding 1% of such investment company’s total outstanding shares in any period of less than thirty days.  In addition to the advisory and operational fees the Fund bears directly in connection with its own operation, the Fund also bears its pro rata portion of the advisory and operational expenses of each other investment company in which it invests.

Foreign Securities

The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities of foreign issuers that are listed and traded on national securities exchanges or traded over-the-counter in the United States, such as American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) .  Other than ADRs, the Fund considers securities traded on U.S. exchanges to be U.S. securities.

Risks of Investing in Foreign Securities. Investments in foreign securities involve certain inherent risks, including the following:

Political and Economic Factors.  Individual foreign economies of certain countries may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency, and diversification and balance of payments position. The internal politics of some foreign countries may not be as stable as those of the United States. Governments in some foreign countries also continue to participate to a significant degree, through ownership interest or regulation, in their respective economies. Action by these governments could include restrictions on foreign investment, nationalization, expropriation of goods or imposition of taxes, and could have a significant effect on market prices of securities and payment of interest. The economies of many foreign countries are heavily dependent upon international trade and are affected by the trade policies and economic conditions of their trading partners. If these trading partners enacted protectionist trade legislation, it could have a significant adverse effect upon the securities markets of such countries.

Currency Fluctuations. The Fund may invest in securities denominated in foreign currencies. A change in the value of any such currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a corresponding change in the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s assets denominated in that currency. Such changes will also affect the Fund’s income. The value of the Fund’s assets may also be affected by currency restrictions and exchange control regulations enacted from time to time.

Market Characteristics.  The Advisor expects that many foreign securities in which the Fund invests will be purchased in over-the-counter markets or on exchanges located in the countries in which the principal offices of the issuers of the various securities are located, if that is the best available market. Foreign exchanges and markets may be more volatile than those in the United States. While growing, they usually have substantially less volume than U.S. markets, and the Fund’s foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities. Also, settlement practices for transactions in foreign markets may differ from those in United States markets, and may include delays beyond periods customary in the United States. Foreign security trading practices, including those involving securities settlement where Fund assets may be released prior to receipt of payment or securities, may expose the Fund to increased risk in the event of a failed trade or the insolvency of a foreign broker-dealer.
 
 
B-4

 
Legal and Regulatory Matters. Certain foreign countries may have less supervision of securities markets, brokers and issuers of securities, and less financial information available to issuers, than is available in the United States.

Taxes. The interest and dividends payable on some of the Fund’s foreign portfolio securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, thus reducing the net amount of income available for distribution to Fund shareholders.

Costs. To the extent that the Fund invests in foreign securities, its expense ratio is likely to be higher than those of investment companies investing only in domestic securities, since the cost of maintaining the custody of foreign securities is higher.

Options on Securities

The Fund may write (sell) covered call options on its portfolio securities (“covered options”) in an attempt to enhance gain, although it has no present intention to do so and may only do so to the extent of up to 5% of its net assets.

When the Fund writes a covered call option, it gives the purchaser of the option the right, upon exercise of the option, to buy the underlying security at the price specified in the option (the “exercise price”) at any time during the option period, generally ranging up to nine months.  If the option expires unexercised, the Fund will realize income to the extent of the amount received for the option (the “premium”). If the call option is exercised, a decision over which the Fund has no control, the Fund must sell the underlying security to the option holder at the exercise price. By writing a covered option, the Fund forgoes, in exchange for the premium less the commission (“net premium”) the opportunity to profit during the option period from an increase in the market value of the underlying security above the exercise price.

The Fund may terminate its obligation as writer of a call option by purchasing an option with the same exercise price and expiration date as the option previously written. This transaction is called a “closing purchase transaction.”

Closing purchase transactions enable the Fund to immediately realize gains or minimize losses on its options positions. There is no assurance that a liquid secondary market on an options exchange will exist for any particular option, or at any particular time, and for some options no secondary market may exist. In addition, stock index prices may be distorted by interruptions in the trading of securities of certain companies or of issuers in certain industries, which could disrupt trading in option positions on such indices and preclude the Fund from closing out its options positions. If the Fund is unable to effect a closing purchase transaction with respect to options it has written, it will not be able to terminate its obligations or minimize its losses under such options prior to their expiration.

The hours of trading for options may not conform to the hours during which the underlying securities are traded. To the extent that the options markets close before the markets for the underlying securities, significant price and rate movements may take place in the underlying markets that cannot be reflected in the options markets.
 
 
B-5

 
Short-Term Investments

The Fund may invest in any of the following securities and instruments:

Certificates of Deposit, Bankers’ Acceptances and Time Deposits. The Fund may hold certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances and time deposits. Certificates of deposit are negotiable certificates issued against funds deposited in a commercial bank for a definite period of time and earning a specified return. Bankers’ acceptances are negotiable drafts or bills of exchange, normally drawn by an importer or exporter to pay for specific merchandise, which are “accepted” by a bank, meaning in effect that the bank unconditionally agrees to pay the face value of the instrument on maturity. Certificates of deposit and bankers’ acceptances acquired by the Fund will be dollar- denominated obligations of domestic banks, savings and loan associations or financial institutions which, at the time of purchase, have capital, surplus and undivided profits in excess of $100 million (including assets of both domestic and foreign branches), based on latest published reports, or less than $100 million if the principal amount of such bank obligations are fully insured by the U.S. Government.

In addition to buying certificates of deposit and bankers’ acceptances, the Fund may also make interest-bearing time or other interest-bearing deposits in commercial or savings banks. Time deposits are non-negotiable deposits maintained at a banking institution for a specified period of time at a specified interest rate.

Commercial Paper and Short-Term Notes.  The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in commercial paper and short-term notes. Commercial paper consists of unsecured promissory notes issued by corporations. Commercial paper and short-term notes will normally have maturities of less than nine months and fixed rates of return, although such instruments may have maturities of up to one year.

Commercial paper and short-term notes will consist of issues rated at the time of purchase “A-2” or higher by S&P, “Prime-2” or higher by Moody’s, or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical ratings organization or, if unrated, will be determined by the Advisor to be of comparable quality. These rating symbols are described in Appendix A.

Temporary Defensive Strategies

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest substantially all of its assets in the securities and investments described above.  The Fund, however, may temporarily depart from its principal investment strategies by investing up to 100% of its assets in cash, cash equivalents or high quality short-term money market instruments, in response to adverse market, economic or political conditions, or in other appropriate circumstances.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The following policies and investment restrictions have been adopted by the Fund and (unless otherwise noted) are fundamental and cannot be changed without the affirmative vote of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities as defined in the 1940 Act. The Fund has adopted the fundamental investment restrictions that are listed below.  These restrictions may not be changed without the approval of the shareholders.  Any change must be approved by the lesser of:

1)  
67% or more of the Fund’s shares present at a shareholder meeting if the holders of more than 50%  of the Fund’s outstanding shares are present in person or by proxy; or

2)  
More than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding shares.


In accordance with these restrictions, the Fund may not:

1.  
Purchase any securities which would cause more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets at the time of such purchase to be invested in the securities of any issuer, but this limitation does not apply to obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government;

2.  
Purchase any securities which would cause the Fund at the time of such purchase to own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any class of any issuer, but this limitation does not apply to obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government;

3.  
Purchase any securities which would cause 25% or more of the Fund’s total assets at the time of such purchase to be invested in the securities of issuers engaged in any one industry;

4.  
Invest in companies for the purpose of exercising management or control;

5.  
Purchase or sell real estate, although the Fund may invest in the readily marketable securities of companies whose business involves the purchase or sale of real estate;

6.  
Purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts;

7.  
Purchase the securities of any investment company, except (i) in the open market where no profit to a sponsor or dealer other than customary brokerage commissions results from such purchases or (ii) if acquired in connection with a plan of reorganization;

8.  
Purchase securities on margin;

9.  
Effect short sales of any securities;

10.  
Make loans, except by the acquisition of a portion of an issue of publicly traded bonds, debentures, notes, and other debt securities;

11.  
Borrow money, except for temporary emergency purposes in amounts not in excess of 5% of the Fund’s total assets;

12.  
Mortgage, pledge or hypothecate securities;
 
 
B-7

 
13.  
Act as an underwriter of securities except insofar as the Fund might technically be deemed an underwriter for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933 upon the disposition of certain securities;

14.  
Purchase or retain the securities of any issuer if the Fund’s officers or directors, or those of the Advisor, who each own 0.5% of the outstanding securities of such issuer, together own beneficially more than 5% of such securities; or

15.  
Issue any class of securities senior to any other class of securities.

As a matter of operating but not fundamental policy, which can be changed without shareholder approval, the Fund may not purchase any securities which would cause more than 5% of the Fund’s net assets at the time of such purchase to be invested in securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or are otherwise not readily marketable. If such policy were to be changed, such investments would be limited to no more than 15% of net assets.

Except with respect to borrowing and illiquid securities, if a percentage restriction set forth in the P rospectus or in this SAI is adhered to at the time of investment, a subsequent increase or decrease in a percentage resulting from a change in the values of assets will not constitute a violation of that restriction.

The Fund has a loan agreement (i.e., a line of credit) with U.S. Bank , N.A.  Consistent with fundamental investment restriction No. 11, the Fund will only draw on its line of credit for temporary emergency purposes.

INVESTMENT ADVISOR

Matrix Asset Advisors, Inc. serves as the Fund’s investment advis o r under an a dvisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), which provides that the Advisor will obtain and evaluate information relating to the economy, industries, businesses, securities markets and securities, formulate a continuing program for the management of the Fund’s assets in a manner consistent with its investment objective, and implement this program by selecting on a discretionary basis the securities to be purchased or sold by the Fund and placing orders for such purchases and sales.  In addition, the Advisor provides for the Fund’s office needs, supervises the maintenance of the Fund’s books and records, provides the Fund with persons competent to perform all of these executive and administrative functions, supervises and coordinates the activities of the Fund’s institutional and other agents (e.g., custodian, transfer agent, independent accountants, outside legal counsel), and permits its officers and employees to serve as directors and officers of the Fund, all without additional cost to the Fund.  Certain directors and officers of the Advisor presently serve as directors or officers of the Fund.

The Fund pays all other expenses incurred in the operation of the Fund, except as provided below, including taxes, fees and commissions, bookkeeping expenses, share issuance expenses, expenses of redemption of shares, charges of its custodian and transfer agent, costs of preparing and printing reports and prospectuses for the Fund’s existing shareholders, registration fees, auditing and legal expenses, and expenses and fees of outside directors.

The Advisor also has agreed to pay the fees and expenses of printing and distributing reports or prospectuses prepared for the Fund in connection with the offering or sale of its shares, of preparing and setting in type, printing and mailing all advertising and sales literature and all other expenses in connection with the offer and sale of Fund shares not specifically allocated to the Fund.
 
 
B-13

 
The Advisory Agreement continues in effect from year to year, if such continuation is specifically approved at least annually by the Fund’s Board of Directors at a meeting called for that purpose, or by vote of the holders of a majority of the Fund’s shares, and in either case, also by a vote of a majority of the Fund’s shares and in either case, also by a vote of a majority of directors who are not “interested persons” of the Advisor or the Fund within the meaning of the 1940 Act.  The Advisory Agreement is subject to termination by either party without penalty on 60 days’ written notice to the other and terminates automatically in the event of its assignment.

The Advisory Agreement provides that neither the Advisor, its directors, officers or employees, nor certain other persons performing specific functions for the Fund, shall be liable to the Fund, except for any loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty.

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Directors’ approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement is available in the Fund’s semi-annual report to shareholders for the most recent fiscal period ended December 31.

The Fund has agreed to pay the Advisor, as compensation for all services rendered, staff and facilities provided and expenses paid or assumed (excluding organizational costs), an annual fee, payable monthly, of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.  The advisory fees paid to the Advisor for the services provided to the Fund for the past three fiscal years were as follows:


For the Year Ended June 30,
 
2008

Total Advisory Fees paid
to the Advisor
$1,103,733
$1,283,121
$1,324,700

The Advisor has entered into an agreement with the Fund in which the Advisor has agreed to limit the operating expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the expenses of the Fund do not exceed 1.1 0 % of the average annual net assets of the Fund during each fiscal year.  This agreement may be terminated at any time, and without payment of any penalty, by the Board of Directors of the Fund, upon sixty days’ written notice to the Advisor.  Currently, the Advisor has agreed not to seek reimbursement of such management fee reductions and/or expense payments.

Control Person of the Investment Advisor

David A. Katz, the President and Chief Investment Officer of the Advisor, beneficially owns more than 50% of the outstanding stock of the Advis o r.  Accordingly, Mr. Katz is deemed to control the Advisor.
 
 
B-14

Compensation

Mr. Katz’s compensation in connection with his management of the Fund and other accounts includes a fixed base salary and a performance bonus.  He does not receive deferred compensation.

Base Salary:

Mr. Katz receives a fixed annual base salary.  Base salary amounts are determined by the compensation committee of the Advisor, based upon a number of factors including the employee’s experience, overall performance, responsibilities, and the competitive market place.  At Mr. Katz’s discretion, a portion of his salary may be contributed to the Advisor’s defined benefit plan.  Mr. Katz, however, does not receive any additional compensation from the Advisor as a result of his participation in its defined benefit plan.

Performance Bonus:

Mr. Katz receives a performance bonus that is determined based upon the Advisor’s overall profitability, which is driven by both the short and long term investment performance (both absolute and relative) and the overall assets under management of the accounts it advises, including the Fund.  Mr. Katz’s bonus compensation is not tied to the performance or the assets under management of any specific fund or account advised by the Advisor.  The bonus compensation is not guaranteed, and is paid at the discretion of the Advisor.
 
 
B-15

 
Potential Conflicts of Interest

As indicated in the above table, Mr. Katz manages other accounts in addition to the Fund.  Mr. Katz’s management of these other accounts may give rise to potential conflicts of interest.  These potential conflicts include those that may arise as a result of the structure of Mr. Katz’s compensation as well as conflicts relating to the selection and allocation of investment opportunities.  The Advisor has adopted policies and procedures that are designed to identify and minimize the effects of these potential conflicts; however, there can be no guarantee that these policies and procedures will be effective in detecting potential conflicts or in eliminating the effects of any such conflicts.

Mr. Katz receives a portion of the profits generated by the Advisor and such profits are generally derived from the fees that the Advisor receives from managing the Fund and other accounts.  To the extent that accounts other than the Fund have the potential to generate more profits for the Advisor than the Fund, Mr. Katz may have an incentive to favor such other accounts.

Due to the fact that Mr. Katz manages multiple accounts with similar objectives, and thus frequently purchases and sells the same securities for such accounts, certain allocation issues may arise.  In particular, if Mr. Katz identifies a limited investment opportunity which may be suitable for more that one fund or account, the Fund may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sales orders across all eligible funds and other accounts.  In addition, in the event Mr. Katz determines to purchase a security for more than one account in an aggregate amount that may influence the market price of the security, accounts that purchased or sold the security first may receive a more favorable price than accounts that made subsequent transactions.  The less liquid the market for the security or the greater the percentage that the proposed aggregate purchases or sales represent of the average daily trading volume, the greater the potential for accounts that make subsequent purchases or sales to receive a less favorable price.  The Advisor focuses solely on a large cap value strategy for all accounts and does not anticipate such allocation issues to arise often.

Where consistent with the Advisor’s duty to seek best execution on behalf of its clients, orders for multiple accounts may be aggregated for execution.  The exception to this practice would be for those accounts that have specifically instructed the Advisor to execute their trades through a particular broker.  To the extent equity trades are aggregated, securities purchased or sold are allocated to the participating accounts in the manner the Advisor determines to be the fairest and most equitable, consistent with its fiduciary duties to its clients.  Where trade orders are aggregated, each account that participates in such order will generally receive the average price for such securities.  Orders for certain accounts, due to cash availability, investment restrictions or otherwise, may not be eligible to participate in such aggregate transactions and could therefore potentially receive a less favorable price or allocation than the accounts for which such orders were aggregated.

In general, no priority is to be given to any brokerage house in terms of the timing of orders.  Orders will be placed to maximize the number of clients and the number of shares that can be bought or sold for these clients without materially affecting the market and to minimize stock price movement.  The Advisor makes every effort to maintain a fair order generation and allocation methodology that favors no particular client or client group and seeks to eliminate, to the extent possible, any perceived conflicts of interest.
 
 
B-16

 
The Advisor’s policies and procedures are designed to minimize the risk that an account could be systematically advantaged or disadvantaged in connection with the allocation of investment opportunities and the aggregation of trade orders as described above.  Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that such policies and procedures will be effective in preventing instances where one account is advantaged or disadvantaged over another.

Ownership of Fund Securities

As of June 30, 2008 , Mr. Katz beneficially owned over $1 million worth of equity securities in the Fund.

DISTRIBUTOR

Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”), 615 East Michigan Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 53202, a Delaware limited liability company, is the distributor for the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Advisor and Distributor.  The Agreement was initially approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors on November 22, 2002.  The Distributor is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”).   Shares of the Fund are offered on a continuous basis.  The Agreement provides that the Distributor, as agent in connection with the distribution of Fund shares, will use its best efforts to distribute the Fund’s shares.  The Distributor’s fees are paid by the Advisor.

EXECUTION OF PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor determines which securities are to be purchased and sold by the Fund and which broker-dealers are eligible to execute the Fund’s portfolio transactions.  Purchases and sales of securities in the over-the-counter market will generally be executed directly with a “market-maker” unless, in the opinion of the Advisor, a better price and execution can otherwise be obtained by using a broker for the transaction.

Purchases of portfolio securities for the Fund also may be made directly from issuers or from underwriters.  Where possible, purchase and sale transactions will be effected through dealers (including banks) which specialize in the types of securities which the Fund will be holding, unless better executions are available elsewhere.  Dealers and underwriters usually act as principal for their own accounts.  Purchases from underwriters will include a concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter and purchases from dealers will include the spread between the bid and the asked price.  If the execution and price offered by more than one dealer or underwriter are comparable, the order may be allocated to a dealer or underwriter that has provided research or other services as discussed below.

In placing portfolio transactions, the Advisor will use its reasonable efforts to choose broker-dealers capable of providing the services necessary to obtain the most favorable price and execution available.  The full range and quality of services available will be considered in making these determinations, such as the size of the order, the difficulty of execution, the operational facilities of the firm involved, the firm’s risk in positioning a block of securities, and other factors.  The Advisor considers such information, which is in addition to and not in lieu of the services required to be performed by it under the Advisory Agreement with the Fund, to be useful in varying degrees, but of indeterminable value.  Portfolio transactions may be placed with broker-dealers who sell shares of the Fund subject to rules adopted by the FINRA and SEC and in accordance with any policies and procedures adopted by the Fund pursuant to such rules.
 
 
B-17

 
While it is the Fund’s general policy to seek first to obtain the most favorable price and execution available in selecting a broker-dealer to execute portfolio transactions for the Fund, in accordance with Section 28(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, when it is determined that more than one broker-dealer can deliver best execution, weight is also given to the ability of a broker-dealer to furnish brokerage and research services to the Fund or to the Advisor, even if the specific services are not directly useful to the Fund and may be useful to the Advisor in advising other clients.  In negotiating commissions with a broker or evaluating the spread to be paid to a dealer, the Fund may therefore pay a higher commission or spread than would be the case if no weight were given to the furnishing of these supplemental services, provided that the amount of such commission or spread has been determined in good faith by the Advisor to be reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and/or research services provided by such broker-dealer.  The standard of reasonableness is to be measured in light of the Advisor’s overall responsibilities to the Fund.

Investment decisions for the Fund are made with the Fund’s specific investment objective and strategies in mind.   Nevertheless, it is possible that at times identical securities will be acceptable for both the Fund and one or more of such client accounts or mutual funds. In such event, the position of the Fund and such client account(s) or mutual funds in the same issuer may vary and the length of time that each may choose to hold its investment in the same issuer may likewise vary. However, to the extent any of these client accounts or mutual funds seek to acquire the same security as the Fund at the same time, the Fund may not be able to acquire as large a portion of such security as it desires, or it may have to pay a higher price or obtain a lower yield for such security. Similarly, the Fund may not be able to obtain as high a price for, or as large an execution of, an order to sell any particular security at the same time. If one or more of such client accounts or mutual funds simultaneously purchases or sells the same security that the Fund is purchasing or selling, each day’s transactions in such security will be allocated between the Fund and all such client accounts or mutual funds in a manner deemed equitable by the Advisor, taking into account the respective sizes of the accounts and the amount being purchased or sold. It is recognized that in some cases this system could have a detrimental effect on the price or value of the security insofar as the Fund is concerned. In other cases, however, it is believed that the ability of the Fund to participate in volume transactions may produce better executions for the Fund.

The Fund does not effect securities transactions through brokers in accordance with any formula, and it does not direct securities transactions to brokers in exchange for selling shares of the Fund. To the knowledge of the Fund’s management, no D irector or O fficer of the Fund has any material direct or indirect interest in any broker that will effect the Fund’s portfolio transactions.

The Fund paid the following amounts in brokerage commissions during the past three fiscal years:

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

Although the Fund generally will not invest for short-term investment purposes, portfolio securities may be sold without regard to the length of time they have been held when, in the opinion of the Advisor, investment considerations warrant such action. Portfolio turnover rate is calculated by dividing (1) the lesser of purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the fiscal year by (2) the monthly average of the value of portfolio securities owned during the fiscal year. A 100% turnover rate would occur if all the securities in the Fund’s portfolio, with the exception of securities whose maturities at the time of acquisition were one year or less, were sold and either repurchased or replaced within one year. A high rate of portfolio turnover (100% or more) generally leads to higher transaction costs and may result in a greater number of taxable transactions. See “Execution of Portfolio Transactions,” above .

The annual portfolio turnover rates for the past two fiscal years are as follows:

Year Ended June 30,
2008
2007
43%

ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION

The information provided below supplements the information contained in the Prospectus regarding the purchase and redemption of Fund shares.
 
 
B-19

 
How to Buy Shares

The public offering price of the Fund shares is based on the Fund’s net asset value.  Shares are purchased at the public offering price next determined after the Fund’s t ransfer a gent receives your order in proper form as discussed in the Prospectus. In order to receive that day’s public offering price, the Fund’s t ransfer a gent must receive your order in proper form before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern T ime.

The NYSE annually announces the days on which it will not be open for trading. The most recent announcement indicates that it will not be open on weekends and on the following days: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. However, the NYSE may close on days not included in that announcement.

Automatic Investment Plan.  As discussed in the Prospectus, the Fund provides an a utomatic i nvestment p lan for the convenience of investors who wish to purchase shares of the Fund on a regular basis. All record keeping and custodial costs of the a utomatic i nvestment p lan are paid by the Fund. The market value of the Fund’s shares is subject to fluctuation, so before undertaking any plan for systematic investment, the investor should keep in mind that this plan does not assure a profit, and does not protect against depreciation in declining markets.


How to Sell Shares

You can sell your Fund shares any day the NYSE is open for regular trading.

Delivery of redemption proceeds.  Payments to shareholders for shares of the Fund redeemed directly from the Fund will be made as promptly as possible but no later than seven days after receipt by the Fund’s t ransfer a gent of the written request in proper form, with the appropriate documentation as stated in the Prospectus, except that the Fund may suspend the right of redemption or postpone the date of payment during any period when (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted as determined by the SEC or the NYSE is closed other than for weekends and holidays; (b) an emergency exists as determined by the SEC making disposal of portfolio securities or valuation of net assets of the Fund not reasonably practicable; or (c) for such other period as the SEC may permit for the protection of the Fund’s shareholders.  Under unusual circumstances, the Fund may suspend redemptions, or postpone payment for more than seven days, but only as authorized by SEC rules.

The value of shares on redemption or repurchase may be more or less than the investor’s cost, depending upon the market value of the Fund’s portfolio securities at the time of redemption or repurchase.

Redemptions-in-kind.  The Fund has made an election pursuant to Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act which obligates it to pay in cash all redemptions to any shareholder of record unless a shareholder requests a redemption, within a 90 day period, of shares having a value in excess of (i) $250,000, or (ii) 1% of the Fund’s net asset value, whichever is less. In this case, the Fund is permitted to pay the redemption price in whole or in part by a distribution of securities from its portfolio. In that event, the value of the securities distributed would be equal to the amount redeemed, determined at the same time, and in the same manner, as the redemption price is determined. Shareholders who receive redemption payments in securities may incur brokerage costs in converting the securities they receive into cash and will bear any market risks associated with such securities until they are converted into cash.
 
 
B-20

 
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAX INFORMATION

Distributions

Di stributions of net investment income and distributions of net capital gains from the sale of securities are generally made annually. T he Fund expects to distribute any undistributed net investment income on or about December 31 of each year. Any net capital gains realized through the period ended October 31 of each year will also be distributed by December 31 of each year.

Each distribution by the Fund is accompanied by a brief explanation of the form and character of the distribution.  In January of each year the Fund will issue to each shareholder a statement of the federal income tax status of all distributions.

Tax Information

The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and, as such, will pay no Federal income taxes on net investment income or net capital gains distributed to shareholders. Consistent with requirements for qualification as a regulated investment company, the Fund intends to distribute each year substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains received from sales of portfolio securities, after offsetting against these profits any available capital loss carry-forwards. The availability of net income for distributions is dependent on the level of the Fund’s income and expenses, and the actual amount and timing of any distribution is subject to the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Directors.

Under current law, distributions of net investment income received by corporate shareholders may be eligible for the 70 percent dividends-received deduction for corporations. The dividends-received deduction for corporations will apply to that portion of the distributions of net investment income designated by the Fund as qualifying for the dividends-received deduction. Among other limitations, any distributions of net investment income made by the Fund will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction with respect to shares which are held by a corporate shareholder for 45 days or less. Capital gain distributions do not qualify for the dividends-received deduction.

Investors should carefully consider the impact of buying Fund shares just before the declaration of a distribution of net investment income or net capital gain . Any such distribution paid shortly after a purchase of shares will reduce the net asset value of the shares by the amount of the distribution. The distribution, though in effect a return of capital, would be taxable to you .

Investors will recognize gain or loss upon the redemption of shares of the Fund. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss if the shares were held as capital assets by the investor. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term or short-term depending upon the investor’s holding period for such shares.  If an investor’s holding period exceeds 12 months, any gain on the sale or disposition of shares in the Fund may be eligible for the reduced rate of federal tax on long-term capital gains , currently 15 percent.
 
 
B-21

 
The Fund is subject to a non-deductible 4 percent excise tax on the excess of required distributions over the amounts actually distributed by the Fund on a calendar year basis. The Fund expects to declare and pay such distributions of net investment income and net capital gains as may be necessary to avoid the application of this excise tax.

If the Fund fails to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M for any reason, the Fund would be subject to federal taxes, applicable to corporations , on its income and gains.   In such case, other state and local income taxes applicable to corporations may also apply.   Distributions to you would be taxed as dividend income to the extent of the Fund’s earnings and profits.

The foregoing is a summary discussion of the federal income tax consequences of certain aspects of an investment in the Fund and is based on federal income tax laws and regulations in effect on the date of this SAI. This discussion is not intended to be comprehensive and investors are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning specific questions regarding federal, state and local taxation.

DETERMINATION OF SHARE PRICE

As noted in the Prospectus, the net asset value and offering price of shares of the Fund will be determined once daily as of the close of public trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the NYSE is open for trading. The Fund does not expect to determine the net asset value of its shares on any day when the NYSE is not open for trading even if there is sufficient trading in its portfolio securities on such days to materially affect the net asset value per share. However, the net asset value of the Fund’s shares may be determined on days the NYSE is closed or at times other than 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time , if the Fund’s Board of Directors decides it is necessary.

The Fund may have portfolio securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekdays or other days when the Fund does not price its shares, and thus the value of the Fund’s shares may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem the Fund’s shares.  In addition, with regard to foreign securities and certain domestic securities (e.g., domestic securities traded on an exchange that closes early), a significant event occurring after the close of trading but before the valuation of the Fund’s net asset value may mean that the closing price for the security may not constitute a readily available market quotation and may accordingly require that the security be priced at its fair value in accordance with the fair value procedures established by the Fund.  The Advisor will monitor for significant events that may call into question the reliability of market quotations.  Such events may include: situations relating to a single issue in a market sector; significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; natural disasters, armed conflicts, governmental actions or other developments not tied directly to the securities markets.  Where the Advisor determines that an adjustment should be made in the security’s value because significant intervening events have caused the Fund’s net asset value to be materially inaccurate, the Advisor will seek to have the security “fair valued” in accordance with the Fund’s fair value procedures.  Fair value pricing involves judgments that are inherently subjective and inexact and it is not possible to determine with certainty when, and to what extent, an event will affect a market price.  As a result, there can be no assurance that fair value pricing will reflect actual market value and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may differ materially from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security.
 
 
B-22

 
The net asset value per share of the Fund is calculated as follows: all liabilities incurred or accrued are deducted from the valuation of total assets which includes accrued but undistributed income; the resulting net assets are divided by the number of shares of the Fund outstanding at the time of the valuation and the result (adjusted to the nearest cent) is the net asset value per share.

An example of how the Fund calculated its total offering price per share as of June 30, 2008 is as follows:

Net Assets

Net Asset Value per S hare
Shares Outstanding
   
     
$122,097,334

DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Fund’s Board of Directors has adopted the Advisor’s policies and procedures relating to the disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings information (the “Policy”).  The Policy prohibits the disclosure of portfolio holdings unless:

(1) the disclosure is in response to a regulatory request and the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) of the Fund has authorized such disclosure;

(2) the disclosure is to a mutual fund rating or statistical agency or person performing similar functions where there is a legitimate business purpose for such disclosure and such entity has signed a confidentiality or similar agreement including a duty not to trade on such information, where available, with the Fund or its agents and the CCO of the Fund has authorized such disclosure (procedures to monitor the use of any non-public information by these entities may include the use of (a) annual certifications reaffirming that the entity has utilized such information in accordance with the terms of the agreement between the entity and the Fund or its agents or (b) the conditioning of the receipt of such information upon the entity agreeing to maintain the confidentiality of the information, along with other representations, where such representations accompany the transmittal of the information);

(3) the disclosure is made to parties involved in the investment process, administration or custody of the Fund, including its board of directors;

(4) the disclosure is in connection with (a) a quarterly, semi-annual or annual report that is available to the public or (b) other periodic disclosure that is publicly available; or

(5) the disclosure is made pursuant to prior written approval of the CCO of the Fund.

The Advisor shall not accept on behalf of itself, its affiliates or the Fund any compensation or other consideration in connection with the disclosure of portfolio holdings of the Fund.  In the event of a conflict between the interests of the Fund and the interests of Advisor or an affiliated person of the Advisor, the CCO of the Advisor, in consultation with the Fund’s CCO, shall make a determination, with respect to the conflict, that they believe is in the best interests of the Fund, and shall report such determination to the Fund’s Board of Directors at the end of the quarter in which such determination was made.  Any employee of the Advisor who suspects a breach of this obligation must report the matter immediately to the CCO or to his or her supervisor.
 
 
B-23

 
Any disclosure made pursuant to Item 5 above shall be reported to the Fund’s Board of Directors at the next quarterly meeting.  This Policy may change at any time without prior notice to shareholders.

The Advisor and/or the Fund currently does not maintain ongoing arrangements with rating or statistical agencies or agencies providing similar functions.  The Fund’s portfolio holdings are made available to the public as described in the Prospectus.

In addition, portfolio holdings information may be provided to the Fund’s service providers on an as-needed basis in connection with the services provided to the Fund by such service providers.  Information may be provided to these parties without a time lag.  Service providers that may be provided with information concerning the Fund’s portfolio holdings include the Advisor and its affiliates, legal counsel, independent registered public accounting firm, custodian, fund accounting agent, administrator, financial printers, proxy voting service providers and broker-dealers who are involves in executing portfolio transactions on behalf of the Fund.  Portfolio holdings information may also be provided to the Fund’s Board of Directors.

The entities to whom the Fund provides portfolio holdings information, either by explicit arrangement or by virtue of their respective duties to the Fund, are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information provided.  Neither the Fund nor the Advisor or its affiliates receives any compensation or other consideration in connection with these ongoing arrangements.  There can be no guarantee that the Policy will be effective in preventing the potential misuse of confidential information regarding the Fund’s portfolio holdings by individuals or entities in possession of such information.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Shareholder Reports

Investors in the Fund will be informed of the Fund’s progress through periodic reports. Financial statements certified by an independent registered public accounting firm will be submitted to shareholders at least annually.

Capital Stock

The Fund’s shares are denominated “Common Stock, $.01 par value.”  Shares have no pre-emptive rights and are fully paid and non-assessable.  Shares have non-cumulative voting rights, which means the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors if they choose to do so, in which event the holders of the remaining less than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors will not be able to elect any directors.

Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share held and fractional votes for fractional shares held and will vote on any matter submitted to a shareholder vote.  The Fund does not intend to hold meetings of shareholders in any year in which the 1940 Act does not require shareholders to act upon any of the following matters: (i) election of directors; (ii) approval of an investment advisory agreement; (iii) approval of a distribution agreement; (iv) ratification of selection of independent accountants.

Code of Ethics

The Board of Directors of each of the Fund and the Advisor have adopted Codes of Ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act.  These Codes permit, subject to certain conditions, personnel of the Advisor to invest in securities that may be purchased or held by the Fund.  These Codes of Ethics include reporting and other obligations to monitor personal transactions and ensure that such transactions are consistent with the best interests of the Fund.

Anti-Money Laundering Program

The Fund has established an Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Program (the “Program”) as required by the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“USA PATRIOT Act”).  To ensure compliance with this law, the Program provides for the development of internal practices, procedures and controls, designation of anti-money laundering compliance officers, an ongoing training program and an independent audit function to determine the effectiveness of the Program.
 
 
B-25

 
Procedures to implement the Program include, but are not limited to, determining that the Fund’s d istributor and t ransfer a gent have established proper anti-money laundering procedures, reporting suspicious and/or fraudulent activity and a complete and thorough review of all new opening account applications.  The Fund will not transact business with any person or entity whose identity cannot be adequately verified under the provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act.

As a result of the Program, the Fund may be required to “freeze” the account of a shareholder if the shareholder appears to be involved in suspicious activity or if certain account information matches information on government lists of known terrorists or other suspicious persons, or the Fund may be required to transfer the account or proceeds of the account to a governmental agency.

Proxy Voting Policies

The Fund’s Board of Directors has delegated responsibility to vote proxies to the Advisor, subject to the Board’s oversight.  The Advisor’s proxy voting procedures, attached as Appendix B to this SAI, are reviewed periodically, and accordingly are subject to change.  In addition, a copy of the Fund’s proxy voting procedures are also available by calling 1-800-366-6223 and will be sent within three business days of receipt of a request.

The Advisor has retained an independent, third party proxy voting service, Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”), to provide advice and counsel with respect to proxy voting matters.  The Advisor will generally follow the proxy voting guidelines maintained by ISS in the voting of proxies for client accounts, unless the client provides the Advisor with its own proxy voting guidelines.  ISS’ general positions on various proposals are as follows:

Director Matters – ISS votes on director nominees on a case-by-case basis, examining factors including independence of the board and its committees, attendance at board meetings, corporate governance provisions and takeover activity, and long-term company performance.  ISS votes against proposals to classify the board, for shareholder proposals that a majority or more of directors be independent unless the board composition already meets ISS’ threshold for independence, and for shareholder proposals asking that audit, compensation and/or nominating committees be composed exclusively of independent directors.

Shareholder Rights – ISS votes against proposals to restrict or prohibit shareholder ability to take action by written consent or to call special meetings, proposals to require supermajority shareholder votes and proposals to eliminate cumulative voting.  ISS votes for shareholder proposals that ask a company to submit its poison pill for shareholder ratification.

Compensation and Benefits Plans – ISS votes with respect to compensation plans on a case-by-case basis, using methodology based primarily on the transfer of shareholder wealth (the dollar cost of pay plans to shareholders instead of simply focusing on voting power dilution).  ISS also votes with respect to the following issues on a case-by-case basis: management proposals seeking approval to reprice options, votes on employee stock purchase plans, and all other shareholder proposals regarding executive and director pay.
 
 
B-26

 
Auditors – ISS generally votes for proposals to ratify auditors, unless an auditor is not independent, fees for non-audit services are excessive, or there is reason to believe that the auditor has rendered an opinion which is neither accurate nor indicative of the company’s financial position.

Information regarding the Fund’s proxy voting record relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is filed with the SEC on Form N-PX no later than August 31 of each year.  The Fund’s Form N-PX is available without charge, upon request, by calling toll-free at 1-800-366-6223 and by accessing the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The annual report to shareholders for the Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 is a separate document supplied with this SAI and the financial statements, accompanying notes and report of independent accountants appearing therein are incorporated by reference in this SAI.  The 2008 Annual Report was filed with the SEC on September 5, 2008 .

APPENDIX A
COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.

Prime-1--Issuers (or related supporting institutions) rated “Prime-1” have a superior ability for repayment of short-term debt obligations.  “Prime-1” repayment ability will often be evidenced by many of the following characteristics: leading market positions in well-established industries, high rates of return on funds employed, conservative capitalization structures with moderate reliance on debt and ample asset protection, broad margins in earnings coverage of fixed financial charges and high internal cash generation, and well-established access to a range of financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.

Prime-2--Issuers (or related supporting institutions) rated “Prime-2” have a strong ability for repayment of short-term debt obligations. This will normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser degree. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternative liquidity is maintained.

Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group

A short-term obligation rated “A-1” is rated in the highest category by Standard & Poor’s.  The issuer’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is strong.  Within this category, certain obligations are designated with a plus sign (+).  This indicates that the issuer’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on these obligations is extremely strong.

A short-term obligation rated “A-2” is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher rating categories. However, the issuer’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is satisfactory.

APPENDIX B

Matrix Asset Advisors, Inc.
Proxy Voting Procedures


Matrix Asset Advisors’ standard investment management agreement implicitly authorizes Matrix Asset Advisors to vote proxies on behalf of the Client’s account.  Therefore, unless the Client expressly reserves proxy voting responsibility, it is Matrix Asset Advisors’ responsibility to vote proxies relating to securities held for the Client’s account.

ERISA Accounts:  Unless proxy voting responsibility has been expressly reserved and is being exercised by another “named fiduciary” for an ERISA plan client, Matrix Asset Advisors, as the investment adviser for the account, must vote all proxies relating to securities held for the plan’s account.  Matrix Asset Advisors shall make appropriate arrangements with each account custodian to have proxies forwarded, on a timely basis, to the Client or other appropriate person, and shall endeavor to correct any delays or other problems relating to timely delivery of proxies and proxy materials.

Fiduciary obligations of prudence and loyalty require an investment adviser with proxy voting responsibility to vote proxies on issues that affect the value of the Client’s investment.  Proxy voting decisions must be made solely in the best interests of the Client.  In voting proxies, Matrix Asset Advisors is required to consider those factors that may affect the value of the Client’s investment and may not subordinate the interests of the Client to unrelated objectives.

Matrix Asset Advisors has retained an independent, third party proxy voting service, Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), to provide advice and counsel on proxy voting.  Matrix generally follows the proxy voting guidelines maintained by ISS in the voting of proxies for client accounts, unless the client provides Matrix with its own proxy voting guidelines.  A copy of the guidelines Matrix follows will be sent to clients annually.

For Matrix holdings (companies owned in client portfolios per Matrixs investment discretion), ISS monitors corporate actions and provides information and analyses with regard to proxy voting issues.  Matrix has further retained ISS to vote proxies on its behalf, and Matrix will monitor the application of the guidelines by ISS, and will vote issues contrary to, or issues not covered by, the guidelines only when Matrix believes it is in the best interest of the Client.  ISS maintains the proxy voting records.  Where the Client has provided proxy voting guidelines to Matrix, those guidelines will be followed, unless it is determined that a different vote would add more value to the Client’s holding of the security in question.  A written explanation of the rationale for the deviation from the Client’s proxy voting guidelines will be maintained.  Direction from a Client on a particular proxy vote will take precedence over the guidelines.

ISS, on Matrix’s behalf, may also vote proxies for companies held in restricted accounts.

Should a material conflict arise between Matrix Asset Advisors’ interest and that of its clients (i.e. Matrix owns shares in a Client, Matrix manages a pension plan for a company whose management is soliciting proxies, or a Firm employee has a relative involved in Management at an investee company), the proxies will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the independent third party proxy voting service.  A written record will be maintained describing the conflict of interest, the resolution of the conflict, and an explanation of how the vote taken was in the client’s best interest.
 
 
B-29

 
The Advisor may refrain from voting the proxy if the cost of voting the proxy exceeds the expected benefit to the client, for example in the case of voting a foreign security when the proxy must be translated into English or the vote must be cast in person.  Additionally, the Advisor may refrain from voting a proxy when the shares owned are small and the impact of the vote would be immaterial.
 
Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available (1) without charge upon request by calling toll-free at 1-800-366-6223 and (2) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.


Recordkeeping.  In accordance with the recordkeeping rules, the Advisor will retain:
 
(i)  
Copies of its proxy voting policies and procedures.
  (ii) 
A copy of each proxy statement received regarding client securities (maintained by the proxy voting service and/or the Advisor).
 
(iii)  
A record of each vote cast on behalf of a client (maintained by the proxy voting service and/or the Advisor).
 
(iv)  
A copy of any document created that was material to the voting decision or that memorializes the basis for that decision.
  (v) 
A copy of each written request for proxy voting information and a copy of any written response by the Advisor to any request for proxy voting information.
 
The Advisor will maintain these materials in an easily accessible place for not less than five years from the end of the fiscal year during which the last entry took place, the first two years in the Advisor’s principal office.

Item 24.  Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Fund

No person is directly or indirectly controlled by or under common control with the Registrant.

Item 25.  Indemnification

Reference is made to Article XI of Registrants By-laws (exhibit b to this Registration Statement) and Section 10 of the Investment Advisory Agreement (Exhibit d to this Registration Statement) the Fund maintains a policy of insurance in favor of the Fund, its directors, officer and employees, against liability arising from certain acts, errors and omissions.  The policy will not insure any director, officer, or employee against liability found to be cause by the directors, officers or employees willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty.
 
 
C-2

 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted the registrant by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the shares being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The registrant hereby undertakes that it will apply the indemnification provisions of its By-laws in a manner consistent with Release No. 11330 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as long as the interpretation of Section 17(h) and (i) of such Act expressed in that Release remains in effect.
