Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Mutual fund performance changes over time and currently may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted above. Average annual total return measures annualized change while total return measures aggregate change. The Fund's total returns include reinvestment of dividend and capital gain distributions, but have not been adjusted for any income taxes payable by shareholders on these distributions. While PFR believes that the Fund's holdings are value stocks, there can be no assurance that others will consider them as such. Further, investing in value stocks presents the risk that value stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform growth stocks during given periods. Because the Clipper Fund is non-diversified, the performance of each holding will have a greater impact on the Fund's total return, and may make the Fund's return more volatile than a more diversified fund. Portfolio holdings are subject to change without notice and are not intended as recommendations of individual stocks. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged capitalization weighted index of the common stocks of 500 major US corporations. This means that each stock's weighting in the index is proportionate to its market value (its price multiplied by the number of shares outstanding). Index returns include dividends and/or interest income and, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect fees or expenses. In addition, unlike the Fund, which periodically maintains a significant cash position, the S&P 500 is fully invested.  Investors cannot directly invest in an index. You should consider the Fund's investment objective, risks, management fees, and expenses before investing. This and other important information can be found in the Fund's prospectus, which can be downloaded from this site or obtained by calling (800) 776-5033. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing. This site best viewed at a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. Copyright 1998 Clipper FundSM Page last updated 03/18/05
