INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
Superior long term investment performance can be achieved when financially strong, well managed companies are bought at prices significantly below their business value and sold when they approach corporate worth.
  §   Stocks represent ownership in a business enterprise.
 
  §   Every business enterprise has a value.
 
  §   With analytical work corporate worth can be determined.
When we buy stocks at significant discounts to their corporate worth:
  §   It protects capital from significant loss over the long-term.
 
  §   It allows for large reward when the value is recognized.
6410 Poplar Ave. Suite 900 Memphis, TN 38119 (901) 761-2474

 


 

Security Selection Criteria
(SECURITY SELECTION CRITERIA CHART)

 


 

Investment = Safety of Principal + Adequate Return
(LINE GRAPH)
Assumptions for Example Above: If we buy a business at 50% of appraisal, and the enterprise value grows at 12% per annum, and in the fifth year the stock price reaches its full appraisal, we will have compounded our investment 29% per year. Two-thirds of the return comes from closing the gap between price and value. This chart does not reflect the performance of any particular security.

This material should be preceded or accompanied by a Prospectus. The average annual total returns of Longleaf Partners International Fund are shown net of fees and include changes in principal value, reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions. These performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The MSCI EAFE Index used for comparison is shown with all dividends and distributions reinvested. In 1998, the MSCI EAFE Index was available only at month-end; therefore, the MSCI EAFE Index value at October 31, 1998 was used to calculate the MSCI EAFE Index performance since public offering. The MSCI EAFE Index is unmanaged and is not hedged for foreign currency risk. Southeastern uses currency hedging as an investment strategy for Longleaf Partners International Fund. Past performance cannot guarantee future results, fund prices fluctuate and the value of an investment at redemption may be more or less than the purchase price. Separately managed global or international accounts with different guidelines and restrictions will perform differently. Current performance of the Longleaf Partners International Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Please call 1-800-445-9469 or view Longleaf’s website, www.longleafpartners.com for the most recent performance information or for a current copy of the Funds’ Prospectus, which should be read carefully before investing in the Fund for a discussion of investment objectives, management fees, expenses, and risks. The performance and ranking information shown on the following pages was provided by Callan Associates and is based on the average annual total returns of 119 investment companies representing $286 billion in assets and classified by Callan Associates as Non-US equity funds employing various strategies to invest assets in a well-diversified portfolio of Non-U.S. developed market equity securities, excluding regional specialists, index products, and emerging market products.
