ABOUT THE FUND

Investment Goals

The Torray Fund’s (the “Fund”) goals are to build investor wealth over extended periods and to minimize shareholder capital gains tax liability by limiting the realization of long and short-term gains.

There is no guarantee that these objectives will be achieved.

Principal Investment Strategy and Policies

Torray LLC’s (the “Manager”) strategy is to invest in high quality companies that have a record of increasing sales and earnings, and to hold them as long as their fundamentals remain intact. Capable management and sound finances are critical considerations in the selection process.

The primary focus is on business analysis. No attempt is made to forecast market trends or to time the Fund’s investments based on prevailing opinions about the market’s outlook. Ordinarily, 90% or more of the Fund’s assets will be invested in common stocks, preferred stocks, and securities convertible into common stocks with the balance held in fixed-income securities, U.S. Treasury securities or other cash equivalents. The Fund usually holds between 25 and 40 stocks. The Fund may invest in the securities of issuers of all sizes and market capitalizations. Positions in individual issuers will generally not exceed 8% of assets and positions in industry groupings will generally not exceed 25% of assets.

The Manager recognizes that economic value lies in businesses, not stocks. History shows the shares of companies that generate rising earnings appreciate over time, and it is in these companies the Fund seeks to invest. Quality companies with successful track records that have fallen from investor favor can be of interest if the Manager determines the cause or causes of investor disaffection are temporary and the share prices fail to reflect the Manager’s assessment of their intrinsic value. However, companies with poor records or those that suffer reversals deemed likely to be permanent are avoided regardless of how “cheap” their shares may appear.

Investments are made when it is believed that a company’s long-term outlook is sound and the shares are fairly priced.

Investors in search of unrealistically high returns or quick profits, or to whom quarterly performance is important, should not invest in The Torray Fund.

The Fund’s goals and investment strategy can be changed without shareholder approval.

MAIN RISKS

The Fund’s investors face the risk that the Manager’s business analyses prove faulty. The Fund’s portfolio is more concentrated than that of the typical mutual fund. If the fundamental prospects of a number of large holdings are misjudged, shareholders may suffer losses even during a time when the general market and many other mutual funds are rising. Beyond that possibility there is always a risk that money may be lost on investments in equity mutual funds. This is so because stock prices fluctuate—sometimes widely—in response to many factors including, but not limited to, company-specific and industry-wide fundamentals, inflation, interest rates, investor psychology and so on. Investors that sell, whether through need or choice after prices have fallen obviously will realize less, and depending upon the original cost of their shares, may suffer a loss.

PERFORMANCE

Below is a bar chart and performance table that provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart illustrates how the Fund’s returns have varied from year to year. The performance table provides the Fund’s average annual returns both on a before-tax and an after-tax basis and compares the Fund’s performance against the performance of an unmanaged market index. These figures assume that all distributions were reinvested. It is important to remember that the Fund’s past performance (both before and after taxes) does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

LOGO

During the period covered by this bar chart, the Fund’s highest return for a calendar quarter was 21.27% in the fourth quarter of 1998, and the lowest return for a calendar quarter was -21.30% in the third quarter of 1998.

Average Annual Total Returns

(For the periods ended December 31, 2007)


	1 Year		5 Years		10 Years		Since Inception December 31, 1990
The Torray Fund
Return Before Taxes	-0.80	%	9.04	%	5.63	%	12.39	%
Return After Taxes on Distributions*	-2.68	%	8.02	%	4.69	%	11.34	%
Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares*	1.69	%	7.77	%	4.64	%	10.87	%
S&P 500 Stock Index** (reflects no deduction for fees, expenses, or taxes)	5.49	%	12.83	%	5.90	%	11.40	%

After-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual federal marginal income tax rates (which for these purposes is 35% for the 1 year return) and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. The 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.

The S&P 500 Stock Index measures the performance of 500 large-capitalization U.S. companies. This Index is unmanaged and does not reflect the deduction of taxes or management fees and other expenses typically incurred by mutual funds. Investors can only invest in the index by purchasing index mutual funds. These funds do charge management fees and incur other expenses. Investors in taxable accounts who buy an index fund and subsequently sell it for a profit will be subject to a similar tax liability and consequent reduction in after-tax return as that indicated in the example of The Torray Fund’s after-tax return illustrated above.

FUND EXPENSES

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

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. This example assumes a $10,000 investment, a 5% return each year, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions and Fund expenses that remain the same each year. This example should not be considered to represent actual expenses or performance. They are not representations of past or future performance or expenses. Your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower.

FUND MANAGEMENT

The Fund’s investment manager is Torray LLC, 7501 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 1100, Bethesda, Maryland 20814. Robert E. Torray is the Founder and Chairman of the Manager. Mr. Torray was also President of The Torray Corporation, founded in 1990, the Fund’s prior manager and the Chairman of Robert E. Torray & Co. Inc., a manager of large institutional portfolios that he founded May 1, 1972, each such entity having been succeeded to by Torray LLC. Fred M. Fialco, Wayne H. Shaner and Shawn M. Hendon serve as co-managers of the Fund along with Mr. Torray and they share in the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. Mr. Shaner and Mr. Hendon have been involved in investment management for over 25 years. Since 2004, they have served as principals of Rockledge Partners, LLC, an equity investment firm in Bethesda, Maryland. Prior to their founding Rockledge Partners, LLC in 2004, Mr. Shaner and Mr. Hendon were Managing Directors for Portfolio Management at Lockheed Martin Corporation and its predecessors. Mr. Fialco has been with the Manager since 1997 and he has been involved with all aspects of research and portfolio management. Additional information about the portfolio managers’ compensation, other accounts managed by the portfolio managers, and the portfolio managers' ownership of securities in the Fund is available in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

The Manager provides investment advice and portfolio management services and oversees the administration of the Fund. The Manager received 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets as compensation for these services for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees approving the investment advisory contract of the Fund is available in the Fund’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Prior Performance of the Manager’s Comparable Accounts

The table below sets forth data relating to the historical performance of (i) The Torray Institutional Fund, a no-load mutual fund advised and managed by the Manager which has substantially similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the Fund and (ii) Torray LLC separate investment advisory accounts managed at all

times under the supervision of Robert E. Torray, Chairman of the Manager, and other principals of the Manager, since May 1, 1972 and which have substantially similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the Fund. These are the only two accounts other than the Fund that are managed in this investment strategy by the Manager and its principals.

The investment results presented below are not those of the Fund and are not intended to predict or suggest returns that might be experienced by the Fund or an individual investor having an interest in the Fund. These total return figures represent past performance and do not indicate future results, which will vary.

⁽²⁾

The performance information for the Separate Accounts is the gross total return as adjusted to reflect all applicable account fees including the highest advisory fee charged to the Manager’s private advisory accounts. The accounts in the Composite were not subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 or Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, which, if imposed, could have affected their performance.

PURCHASING AND REDEEMING SHARES

Pricing Fund Shares

Orders to buy or redeem shares that are received in good order prior to the close of the Fund (generally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time) will be processed at the net asset value calculated that day. Net asset value per share (“NAV”) is calculated by dividing the Fund’s net assets by the number of shares outstanding after the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) closes for the day.

The Fund uses market quotes that are readily available to value its securities. In cases where quotes are not readily available, such as with respect to restricted securities, private placements or other types of illiquid securities, the securities will be valued using fair value guidelines approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

How To Buy Shares

You may buy shares of the Fund on a no-load basis on any day that the NYSE is open.

The minimum initial purchase is $2,500. You should send your check payable to “The Torray Fund” with a completed account application to the Fund’s transfer agent:


Regular Mail Address		Courier Address
The Torray Fund		The Torray Fund
c/o PFPC Inc.		c/o PFPC Inc.
P.O. Box 9803		101 Sabin Street
Providence, RI 02940-8003		Pawtucket, RI02860-1427

Additional purchases can be made for $500 or more and should be sent to the applicable address above. Please remember to include your account number on your check.

You, your spouse, or your children may open a related account for an initial investment of $2,000 if your current account meets the minimum initial investment amount of $2,500. A related account can be a joint account with your spouse or children or a retirement account such as an IRA.

When you open a related account you may be asked to present additional documents as proof of the relationship in addition to an account application. You will also be asked to provide your existing account number and taxpayer identification number. You should use caution when giving these numbers to another person because that person may be able to gain access to your account or other confidential financial information.

You may purchase shares of the Fund through an intermediary, such as an investment representative or a broker-dealer, who may charge additional fees and may require higher minimum investments or impose other limitations on buying and selling shares. If you purchase shares through an intermediary, that party is responsible for transmitting orders by close of business and may have an earlier cut-off time for purchase and sale requests. Purchase and redemption orders placed through an intermediary will be deemed to have been received and accepted by the Fund when the intermediary accepts the order. Customer orders will be priced at the Fund’s NAV next computed after they are accepted by an authorized broker or the broker’s authorized designee. Intermediaries may also designate other intermediaries to accept purchase and redemption orders on the Fund’s behalf. Consult your investment representative for specific information.

Wire Instructions

In order to make a same day wire investment via Federal Wire, please call your bank with the instructions to transmit the funds as noted below. Please also note that an account must already be established to make a wire purchase.

Automatic Investment Plan

Once an account has been opened, you can make additional purchases of shares automatically through the Automatic Investment Plan either monthly or quarterly via Automated Clearing House (“ACH”). The minimum automatic investment is $500 and you have the option of choosing the 10^th, 15^th or 20^th day of the month or quarter as the transaction date. You may arrange for participation in the Automatic Investment Plan by completing the automatic investment plan section on the Account Application or by calling 1-800-626-9769.

How to Redeem Shares

You may redeem your shares either in writing or by telephone if you elected the telephone redemption privilege on your application. You should submit your written redemption request directly to:


Regular Mail Address		Courier Address
The Torray Fund		The Torray Fund
c/o PFPC Inc.		c/o PFPC Inc.
P.O. Box 9803		101 Sabin Street
Providence, RI 02940-8003		Pawtucket, RI 02860-1427

If your account is held in the name of a corporation, as a fiduciary or agent, or as a surviving joint owner, you may be required to provide additional documents with your redemption request.

If your address of record has changed within the last 30 days of receipt of your redemption request, you will be required to obtain a medallion signature guarantee.

telephone instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine. The telephone transaction privilege may be suspended, limited, modified or terminated at any time without prior notice by the Fund or PFPC.

To redeem by telephone you can call 1-800-626-9769.

Please remember that all redemption requests must include your name and account number. The Fund may take up to seven days to pay redemption proceeds. If you redeem by wire transfer, the Fund’s transfer agent charges a fee (currently $10) for each wire redemption. If you are redeeming shares that were recently purchased by check, the proceeds may be delayed until the check for purchase clears; this may take up to 15 business days from the date of purchase.

Redemption in Kind

It is currently the Fund’s policy to pay all redemptions in cash. The Fund retains the right, however, to alter this policy to provide for redemptions in whole or in part by a distribution in-kind of securities held by the Fund in lieu of cash. Shareholders may incur brokerage charges on the sale of any such securities so received in payment of redemptions.

Systematic Withdrawal Plan

You can also redeem shares automatically on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis via a Systematic Withdrawal Plan (“SWP”). To establish a SWP, an account must have a current market value of at least $2,500 or more and must have dividends reinvested. The minimum amount of the systematic withdrawal is $250. The systematic withdrawals can be sent by check to the address of record or to your bank via ACH provided the bank is an online member of ACH. Any check or ACH withdrawal will be sent the business day following the redemption date. You may establish this plan by completing the appropriate section on the Account Application or by calling 1-800-626-9769.

Redemptions (including all IRA transfers) Sent to an Address Other Than the Address of Record

For your protection, we will require an acceptable medallion signature guarantee (see below) for all fund redemptions that are sent to a different address than the address of record. This includes all IRA transfers. Redemption requests bearing a non-medallion signature guarantee will be returned to you in accordance with the transfer agent’s rejection procedures. This could significantly delay your redemption request as it will be returned to you via first class mail. The Fund will not be responsible for delays of this nature.

An acceptable medallion signature guarantee can be obtained from a domestic bank or trust company, broker/dealer, clearing agency, savings association, or other

financial institution which is participating in any of the following three medallion programs: Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP), Stock Exchanges Medallion Program (SEMP), and New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Medallion Signature Program (NYSE MSP). Signature guarantees from financial institutions which are not participating in one of these required programs will not be accepted.

Additional Purchase and Redemption Information

The Fund reserves the following rights as they relate to purchases and redemptions:

•

To redeem your shares if your account balance falls below $2,500 as a result of redemptions and not market performance. You will receive 30 days notice to increase the value of your account to $2,500 before the account is closed.

•

To refuse any purchase order.

•

To refuse third-party checks, starter checks or cash equivalents for purchases of shares.

•

To change or waive the Fund’s investment minimums.

•

To suspend the right to redeem and delay redemption proceeds during times when trading on the NYSE is restricted or halted, or otherwise as permitted by the SEC.

•

To require additional documentation or a medallion signature guarantee on any redemption request.

Shareholders should be aware that purchase and redemption requests mailed to the Fund’s Maryland address will not be processed until they are received by the Fund’s transfer agent (generally the next business day) at the address noted under “How to Buy Shares”. You can avoid delays by mailing requests for purchases and redemptions directly to the Fund’s transfer agent.

Frequent Trading Policy

The Fund is intended for long-term investors and not for those who wish to trade frequently in Fund shares. Frequent trading into and out of the Fund can have adverse consequences for the Fund and for long-term shareholders in the Fund. The Fund believes that frequent or excessive short-term trading activity by shareholders of the Fund may be detrimental to long-term shareholders because those activities may, among other things: (a) dilute the value of shares held by long-term shareholders; (b) cause the Fund to maintain larger cash positions than would otherwise be necessary; (c) increase brokerage commissions and related costs and expenses, and (d) incur additional tax liability. The Fund therefore discourages frequent purchases and redemptions by shareholders and it does not make any effort to accommodate this practice. To protect against such activity, the Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures that are intended to permit the Fund to curtail frequent or excessive

short-term trading by shareholders. At the present time the Fund does not impose limits on the frequency of purchases and redemptions, nor does it limit the number of exchanges into the Fund. The Fund reserves the right, however, to impose certain limitations at any time with respect to trading in shares of the Fund, including suspending or terminating trading privileges in Fund shares, for any investor whom it believes has a history of abusive trading or whose trading, in the judgment of the Fund, has been or may be disruptive to the Fund. It may not be feasible for the Fund to prevent or detect every potential instance of abusive or excessive short-term trading.

Customer Identification Information

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person that opens a new account, and to determine whether such person’s name appears on government lists of known or suspected terrorists and terrorist organizations.

As a result, the Fund must obtain the following information for each person that opens a new account:

•

Name;

•

Date of birth (for individuals);

•

Residential or business street address (although post office boxes are still permitted for mailing); and

•

Social security number, taxpayer identification number, or other identifying number.

You may also be asked for a copy of your driver’s license, passport or other identifying document in order to verify your identity. In addition, it may be necessary to verify your identity by cross-referencing your identification information with a consumer report or other electronic database. Additional information may be required to open accounts for corporations and other entities.

Federal law prohibits the Fund and other financial institutions from opening a new account unless they receive the minimum identifying information listed above. After an account is opened, the Fund may restrict your ability to purchase additional shares until your identity is verified. The Fund may close your account or take other appropriate action if it is unable to verify your identity within a reasonable time. If your account is closed for this reason, your shares will be redeemed at the NAV next calculated after the account is closed.

ACCOUNT STATEMENTS

The Fund provides you with:

•

a confirmation statement after each transaction;

•

an account statement reflecting your transactions for the calendar quarter;

•

an account statement reflecting your annual transactions; and

•

by January 31 of each year, certain tax information which is also filed with the Internal Revenue Service.

The Fund provides the above shareholder services without charge, but may charge for special services such as requests for historical transcripts of accounts. Also, you may view your quarterly and annual statements on the Fund’s website at www.torray.com.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

A complete list of the Fund’s portfolio holdings is publicly available on a quarterly basis through applicable filings made with the SEC on Forms N-CSR and N-Q. Additional information is also available on the Fund’s website at www.torray.com. A description of the Fund’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of its portfolio securities is provided in the Statement of Additional Information.

TAXES AND DISTRIBUTIONS

The Fund declares and pays dividends quarterly and net capital gains at least annually. All distributions will be invested in shares of the Fund unless you elect on your account application to receive distributions in cash. You can elect to cancel cash payments by notifying the Fund, in writing, prior to the date of distribution. Your choice will be effective for distributions paid after the Fund receives your written notice.

Currently effective tax legislation generally provides for a maximum tax rate for individual taxpayers of 15% on long-term gains from sales and from certain qualifying dividends on corporate stock. These rate reductions do not apply to corporate taxpayers. Distributions of earnings from dividends paid by certain “qualified foreign corporations” can also qualify for the lower tax rates on qualifying dividends. A shareholder will also have to satisfy a more than 60 day holding period with respect to any distributions of qualifying dividends in order to obtain the benefit of the lower tax rate. Distributions of earnings from non-qualifying dividends interest income, other types of ordinary income and short-term capital gains will be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate applicable to the taxpayer.

The Fund will distribute substantially all of its investment income and capital gains, if any. The dividends and distributions you receive may be subject to federal, state and local taxation, depending upon your tax situation. Capital gains distributions may be taxable at different rates depending on the length of time the Fund holds its securities. The Manager’s buy and hold strategy may act to limit the realization of short-term gains, and defer the realization of long-term gains. Each

redemption of Fund shares is a taxable event. You should consult a tax advisor regarding your investment in the Fund.

PAYMENTS TO THIRD PARTIES BY THE MANAGER

The Manager may, out of its own resources, and without additional direct cost to the Fund or its shareholders, provide compensation to certain financial intermediaries, such as broker-dealers and financial advisers, in connection with sales of shares of the Fund. This compensation is generally made to those intermediaries that provide shareholder servicing, marketing support, broker education, and/or access to sales meetings, sales representatives and management representatives of the intermediary. Compensation may also be paid to intermediaries for inclusion of the Fund on a sales list, including a preferred or select sales list, in other sales programs or as an expense reimbursement in cases where the intermediary provides shareholder services to Fund shareholders.

Please be aware that the Fund may use brokers who sell shares of the Fund to effect portfolio transactions. The Fund does not consider the sale of Fund shares as a factor when selecting brokers to effect portfolio transactions. The Fund has adopted procedures which address these matters. You should note that if one mutual fund sponsor makes greater distribution assistance payments than another, your broker or financial adviser and his or her firm may have an incentive to recommend one fund complex over another.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance for the past five years. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). The information has been audited by Briggs, Bunting & Dougherty, LLP, whose report, along with the Fund’s financial statements are incorporated by reference into the Statement of Additional Information, which is available upon request.

ABOUT THE FUND

Investment Goal

The Torray Institutional Fund’s (the “Fund”) goal is to build investor wealth over extended periods. Since the vast majority of its shareholders are tax-exempt organizations, the Fund, despite its emphasis on a buy and hold approach, may, for various reasons, elect to realize both short and long-term gains without regard to their potential impact on taxable investors.

There is no guarantee that this objective will be achieved.

Principal Investment Strategy and Policies

Investments are made when it is believed that a company’s long-term outlook is sound and the shares are fairly priced.

Investors in search of unrealistically high returns or quick profits, or to whom quarterly performance is important, should not invest in The Torray Institutional Fund.

The Fund’s goal and investment strategy can be changed without shareholder approval.

FUND MANAGEMENT

The Fund’s investment manager is Torray LLC, 7501 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 1100, Bethesda, Maryland 20814. Robert E. Torray is the Founder and Chairman of the Manager. Mr. Torray was also President of The Torray Corporation, founded in 1990, the Fund’s prior manager and the Chairman of Robert E. Torray & Co. Inc., a manager of large institutional portfolios that he founded May 1, 1972, each such entity having been succeeded to by Torray LLC. Fred M. Fialco, Wayne H. Shaner and Shawn M. Hendon serve as co-managers of the Fund along with Mr. Torray and they share in the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. Mr. Shaner and Mr. Hendon have been involved in investment management for over 25 years. Since 2004, they have served as principals of Rockledge Partners, LLC, an equity investment firm in Bethesda, Maryland. Prior to their founding Rockledge Partners, LLC in 2004, Mr. Shaner and Mr. Hendon were Managing Directors for Portfolio Management at Lockheed Martin Corporation and its predecessors. Mr. Fialco has been with the Manager since 1997 and he has been involved with all aspects of research and portfolio management. Additional information about the portfolio managers’ compensation, other accounts managed by the portfolio managers, and the portfolio managers’ ownership of securities in the Fund is available in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

The Manager provides investment advice and portfolio management services and oversees the administration of the Fund. The Manager received 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily net assets as compensation for these services for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees approving the investment advisory contract of the Fund is available in the Fund’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Torray, Chairman of the Manager, and other principals of the Manager, since May 1, 1972 and which have substantially similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the Fund. These are the only two accounts other than the Fund that are managed in this investment strategy by the Manager and its principals.

PURCHASING AND REDEEMING SHARES

Pricing Fund Shares

Orders to buy or redeem shares that are received in good order prior to the close of the Fund (generally 4:00 PM Eastern time) will be processed at the net asset value next determined. Net asset value per share (“NAV”) is calculated by dividing the Fund’s net assets by the number of shares outstanding after the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) closes for the day.

The Fund uses market quotes that are readily available to value its securities. In cases where quotes are not readily available, such as with respect to restricted

securities, private placements or other types of illiquid securities, the securities will be valued using fair value guidelines approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

How To Buy Shares

You may buy shares of the Fund on a no-load basis on any day that the NYSE is open.

The minimum initial purchase is $5,000,000. You should send your check payable to “The Torray Institutional Fund” with a completed account application to the Fund’s transfer agent:

How to Redeem Shares

If your account is held in the name of a corporation, as a fiduciary or agent, or as a surviving joint owner, you may be required to provide additional documents with your redemption request.

If your address of record has changed within the last 30 days of receipt of your redemption request, you will be required to obtain a medallion signature guarantee.

The Fund and the transfer agent reserve the right to refuse any telephone transaction when they are unable to confirm to their satisfaction that a caller is the account owner or a person authorized by the account owner. Neither the Fund nor any of its service contractors will be liable for any loss or expense in acting upon telephone instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine. The telephone transaction privilege may be suspended, limited, modified or terminated at any time without prior notice by the Fund or PFPC.

To redeem by telephone you can call 1-800-626-9769.

Redemption in Kind

Redemptions (including all IRA transfers) Sent to an Address Other Than the Address of Record

For your protection, we will require an acceptable medallion signature guarantee (see below) for all fund redemptions that are sent to a different address than the

address of record. This includes all IRA transfers. A redemption request bearing a non-medallion signature guarantee will be returned to you in accordance with the transfer agent’s rejection procedures. This could significantly delay your redemption request as it will be returned to you via first class mail. The Fund will not be responsible for delays of this nature.

An acceptable medallion signature guarantee can be obtained from a domestic bank or trust company, broker/dealer, clearing agency, savings association, or other financial institution which is participating in any of the following three medallion programs: Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP), Stock Exchanges Medallion Program (SEMP), and New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Medallion Signature Program (NYSE MSP). Signature guarantees from financial institutions which are not participating in one of these required programs will not be accepted.

Additional Purchase and Redemption Information

The Fund reserves the following rights as they relate to purchases and redemptions:

•

To redeem your shares if your account balance falls below $5,000,000 as a result of redemptions and not market performance. You will receive 30 days notice to increase the value of your account to $5,000,000 before the account is closed.

•

To refuse any purchase order.

•

To refuse third-party checks, starter checks or cash equivalents for purchases of shares.

•

To change or waive the Fund’s investment minimums.

•

To suspend the right to redeem and delay redemption proceeds during times when trading on the NYSE is restricted or halted, or otherwise as permitted by the SEC.

•

To accept an initial order for less than $5,000,000 upon the discretion of the Manager.

Frequent Trading Policy

believes that frequent or excessive short-term trading activity by shareholders of the Fund may be detrimental to long-term shareholders because those activities may, among other things: (a) dilute the value of shares held by long-term shareholders; (b) cause the Fund to maintain larger cash positions than would otherwise be necessary; (c) increase brokerage commissions and related costs and expenses, and (d) incur additional tax liability. The Fund therefore discourages frequent purchases and redemptions by shareholders and it does not make any effort to accommodate this practice. To protect against such activity, the Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures that are intended to permit the Fund to curtail frequent or excessive short-term trading by shareholders. At the present time the Fund does not impose limits on the frequency of purchases and redemptions, nor does it limit the number of exchanges into the Fund. The Fund reserves the right, however, to impose certain limitations at any time with respect to trading in shares of the Fund, including suspending or terminating trading privileges in Fund shares, for any investor whom it believes has a history of abusive trading or whose trading, in the judgment of the Fund, has been or may be disruptive to the Fund. It may not be feasible for the Fund to prevent or detect every potential instance of abusive or excessive short-term trading.

Customer Identification Information

As a result, the Fund must obtain the following information for each person that opens a new account:

•

Name;

•

Date of birth (for individuals);

•

Residential or business street address (although post office boxes are still permitted for mailing); and

•

Social security number, taxpayer identification number, or other identifying number.

Federal law prohibits the Fund and other financial institutions from opening a new account unless they receive the minimum identifying information listed above.

After an account is opened, the Fund may restrict your ability to purchase additional shares until your identity is verified. The Fund may close your account or take other appropriate action if it is unable to verify your identity within a reasonable time. If your account is closed for this reason, your shares will be redeemed at the NAV next calculated after the account is closed.

ACCOUNT STATEMENTS

The Fund provides you with:

•

a confirmation statement after each transaction;

•

an account statement reflecting your transactions for the calendar quarter;

•

an account statement reflecting your annual transactions; and

•

by January 31 of each year, certain tax information which is also filed with the Internal Revenue Service.

ORGANIZATION OF THE FUND

The Trust was established as a Massachusetts business trust under the laws of Massachusetts by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated April 19, 1990. The Trust’s fiscal year ends on December 31 of each year.

Under Massachusetts law, shareholders could, under certain circumstances, be held liable for the obligations of the Fund. However, the Fund’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust disclaims shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the Fund and requires that notice of such disclaimer be given in each agreement, obligation or instrument entered into or executed by the Fund or the Trustees. The Agreement and Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of the Fund’s property for all loss and expense of any shareholder of the Fund held liable on account of being or having been a shareholder. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the Fund would be unable to meet its obligations.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, POLICIES, RISKS, AND RESTRICTIONS

Investment Objective

The Fund is a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund’s goals are to build investor wealth over extended periods and to minimize shareholder capital gains tax liability by limiting the realization of long and short-term gains. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve these objectives.

Equity Securities. Since the Fund purchases equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common stocks, the Fund is subject to the risks that stock prices both individually and market-wide will fall over short or extended periods of time, and that prices of the Fund’s equity securities may fluctuate from day-to-day. Historically, the stock markets have moved in cycles. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The stock prices of these companies may suffer a decline in response. These factors contribute to price volatility. Therefore, in order to be successful, investors must accept that although the stocks of good companies generally rise over long periods, they can trade at virtually any price in the short run.

Fixed-Income Securities. The Fund may invest up to 5% of its assets in fixed-income securities consisting of corporate notes, bonds and debentures, which may include convertible notes and bonds. Fixed-income securities are subject to interest rate risk which refers to the risk that the value of the Fund’s fixed-income securities can change in response to changes in prevailing interest rates causing volatility and possible loss of value in response to the movement in interest rates. The Fund is not limited with respect to the investment rating of the fixed-income securities in which it may invest and it may therefore purchase securities with investment ratings below

investment grade. Securities that are rated below investment grade are subject to risks related to the credit quality of the issuer of the security. Such high yield/high risk securities are further subject to the risk that changes in economic conditions could lead to a weakened capacity of the issuers of the securities to make principal and interest payments, which is not necessarily the case with issuers of higher rated securities.

U.S. Treasury Securities. The Fund is free to invest in U.S. Treasury Securities of varying maturities. There are usually no brokerage commissions as such paid by the Fund in connection with the purchase of such instruments. The value of such securities can be expected to vary inversely to the changes in prevailing interest rates. Thus, if interest rates have increased from the time a security was purchased, such security, if sold, might be sold at a price less than its cost. Similarly, if interest rates have declined from the time a security was purchased, such security, if sold, might be sold at a price greater than its cost. See “Brokerage Services,” for a discussion of underwriters’ commissions and dealers’ spreads involved in the purchase and sale of such instruments.

The investment objective and policies of the Fund set forth above and in the Prospectus may be changed without shareholder approval.

Investment Restrictions

Without a vote of the majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, the Fund will not take any of the following actions:

(1)

Borrow money in excess of 5% of the value (taken at the lower of cost or current value) of the Fund’s total assets (not including the amount borrowed) at the time the borrowing is made, and then only from banks as a temporary measure to facilitate the meeting of redemption requests (and not for leverage) or for extraordinary or emergency purposes.

(2)

Pledge, hypothecate, mortgage or otherwise encumber its assets in excess of 10% of the Fund’s total assets (taken at cost), and then only to secure borrowings permitted by Restriction 1 above.

(3)

Purchase securities on margin, except such short-term credits as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of securities.

(4)

Make short sales of securities or maintain a short position for the account of the Fund unless at all times when a short position is open the Fund owns an equal amount of such securities or owns securities which, without payment of any further consideration, are convertible into or exchangeable for securities of the same issue as, and equal in amount to, the securities sold short.

(5)

Underwrite securities issued by other persons except to the extent that, in connection with the disposition of its portfolio investments, it may be deemed to be an underwriter under federal securities laws.

(6)

Purchase or sell real estate, although it may invest in securities of issuers which deal in real estate, including securities of real estate investment trusts, and may purchase securities which are secured by interests in real estate.

(7)

Purchase or sell commodities or commodity contracts, including future contracts.

(8)

Make loans, except by purchase of debt obligations or by entering into repurchase agreements.

(9)

Invest in securities of any issuer if, immediately after such investment, more than 5% of the total assets of the Fund (taken at current value) would be invested in the securities of such issuer, except that up to 25% of the Fund’s total assets taken at current value may be invested without regard to such 5% limitation; provided, however, that this limitation does not apply to obligations issued or guaranteed as to interest and principal by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities.

(10)

Acquire more than 10% of the voting securities of any issuer.

(11)

Concentrate more than 25% of the value of its total assets in any one industry.

(12)

Issue senior securities, except to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, by SEC exemptive order, or by the Commission.

It is contrary to the Fund’s present policy, which may be changed by the Trustees without shareholder approval, to pledge or hypothecate its assets, make any short sales of securities, maintain any short position for the account of the Fund, issue senior securities, or purchase foreign securities which are not publicly traded in the United States. In addition, it is contrary to the Fund’s present policy to:

The Audit Committee oversees the Trust’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and oversees the quality and objectivity of the Trust’s financial statements and the independent audit thereof. Mr. Moltz serves as chair of the Audit Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates the qualifications of Board member candidates and makes nominations for Independent Trustee membership on the Board. Ms. Crawford serves as chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Committee does not generally consider nominees recommended by shareholders. This Committee also oversees the Board governance process and has responsibility for periodically reviewing Board composition, Board compensation, Board committees and related Board process matters relating to Board governance practices. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Audit Committee met two times and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met one time.

INVESTMENT MANAGER AND OTHER SERVICES

The Manager

Under a written management contract (“Management Agreement”) between the Fund and Torray LLC (the “Manager”), subject to such policies as the Trustees of the Fund may determine, the Manager, at its expense, will furnish continuously an investment program for the Fund and will make investment decisions on behalf of the Fund and place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities subject always to applicable investment objectives, policies and restrictions. The Fund pays the Manager a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily assets.

Pursuant to the Management Agreement and subject to the control of the Trustees, the Manager also manages, supervises and conducts the other affairs and business of the Fund, furnishes office space and equipment, provides bookkeeping and certain clerical services and pays all fees and expenses of the officers of the Fund. As indicated under “Brokerage Services,” the Fund’s portfolio transactions may be placed with brokers which furnish the Manager, without cost, certain research, statistical and quotation services of value to it or its affiliates in advising the Fund or their other clients. In so doing, the Fund may incur greater brokerage commissions than it might otherwise pay.

The Management Agreement has been approved by the Trustees of the Fund. Additionally, shareholders last approved the Management Agreement at a meeting held on December 19, 2005. By its terms, the Management Agreement will continue in force from year to year, but only so long as its continuance is approved at least annually by the Trustees at a meeting called for that purpose or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Management Agreement automatically terminates on assignment, and is terminable upon notice by the Fund. In addition, the Management Agreement may be terminated on not more than 60 days

notice by the Manager to the Fund. In the event the Manager ceases to be the Manager of the Fund, the right of the Fund to use the identifying name of “Torray” may be withdrawn.

The Fund pays, in addition to the management fee described above, all expenses not borne by the Manager, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Trustees, interest charges, taxes, brokerage commissions, expenses of issue or redemption of shares, fees and expenses of registering and qualifying the shares of the Fund for distribution under federal and state laws and regulations, charges of custodians, auditing and legal expenses, reports to shareholders, expenses of meetings of shareholders, expenses of printing and mailing prospectuses, proxy statements and proxies to existing shareholders, and insurance premiums. The Fund is also responsible for such nonrecurring expenses as may arise, including litigation in which the Fund may be a party, and other expenses as determined by the Trustees. The Fund may have an obligation to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect to such litigation.

public or private institutions). Portfolio managers at the Manager make investment decisions for each account based on the investment objectives and policies and other relevant investment considerations applicable to that portfolio. Because a portfolio manager’s compensation is affected by revenues earned by the Manager, the incentives associated with any given account may be higher or lower than those associated with other accounts. The Manager has adopted and implemented policies and procedures, including brokerage and trade allocation policies and procedures, which it believes address the conflicts associated with managing multiple accounts for multiple clients. The Manager monitors a variety of areas, including compliance with account investment guidelines, the allocation of initial public offerings and other similar investment opportunities, and compliance with the Manager’s Code of Ethics.

Each portfolio manager’s compensation consists of a fixed annual salary, plus additional remuneration based on the overall performance of the Manager for the given time period.

The dollar range of equity securities of the Fund beneficially owned by the Fund’s portfolio managers as of December 31, 2007 is as follows:


Portfolio Manager		Dollar Range of Equity Securities of The Fund Beneficially Owned
Robert E. Torray		Over $1,000,000
Fred M. Fialco		$50,001-$100,000
Wayne H. Shaner		$50,001-$100,000
Shawn M. Hendon		$0

Toray LLC, the Manager, is a Maryland limited liability company organized in 2005. The Manager is the successor to the Fund’s prior investment adviser, The Torray Corporation.

Code of Ethics

The Fund and the Manager have adopted a joint Code of Ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This Code of Ethics applies to the personal investing activities of trustees, officers and certain employees (“access persons”) of the Fund and the Manager. Rule 17j-1 and the Code of Ethics is designed to prevent unlawful practices in connection with the purchase or sale of securities by access persons. Under the Code of Ethics, access persons are permitted to engage in personal securities transactions, but are required to report their personal securities transactions for monitoring purposes. In addition, certain access persons are required to obtain approval before investing in initial public offerings or private placements. A copy of the Code of Ethics is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is available to the public at www.sec.gov.

Other Services

Custodian and Transfer Agent. PFPC Trust Company, 8800 Tinicum Blvd., Philadelphia, PA 19153, is the custodian for the Fund. PFPC Inc., 760 Moore Road, King of Prussia, PA 19406 serves as transfer agent and shareholder servicing agent to the Fund.

Administrator. Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Administration Agreement among the Manager, PFPC Inc. (“PFPC”) and the Trust, PFPC performs certain accounting and administrative services for the Trust including portfolio and general ledger accounting, daily valuation of all portfolio securities, NAV calculation, preparation and coordination of the annual update to the Trust’s registration statement and assisting with various SEC filings. PFPC also keeps all books and records with respect to the Fund as it is required to maintain pursuant to Rule 31a-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, monitors the Fund’s status as a regulated investment company under Sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and calculates required tax distributions. PFPC received administration and accounting services fees of $151,523, $153,504 and $143,375 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005, December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, respectively. These fees were paid by the Manager.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm is Briggs, Bunting & Dougherty, LLP, Two Penn Center Plaza, Suite 820, Philadelphia, PA 19102.

Underwriter. Effective January 1, 2007, PFPC Distributors, Inc. (the “Underwriter”), located at 760 Moore Road, King of Prussia, PA 19406, is the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Underwriter is a broker-dealer affiliated with the Administrator and acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Trust’s shares.

Fund Counsel. Dechert LLP, 1775 I Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20006, serves as counsel to the Trust.

DISTRIBUTIONS

Distributions from Net Investment Income. The Fund pays out substantially all of its net investment income (i.e., dividends, interest it receives from its investments, and short-term gains). It is the present policy of the Fund to declare and pay distributions from net investment income quarterly.

Distributions of Capital Gains. The Fund’s policy is to distribute annually substantially all of the net realized capital gain, if any, after giving effect to any available capital loss carryover. Net realized capital gain is the excess of net realized long-term capital gain over net realized short-term capital loss.

BROKERAGE SERVICES

Transactions on stock exchanges and other agency transactions involve the payment by the Fund of negotiated brokerage commissions. Such commissions vary among different brokers. Also, a particular broker may charge different commissions according to such factors as the difficulty and size of the transaction. There is generally no stated commission in the case of securities traded in the over-the-counter markets but the price paid by the Fund usually includes a dealer commission or mark-up. It is anticipated that most purchases and sales of short-term portfolio securities will be with the issuer or with major dealers in money market instruments acting as principals. In underwritten offerings, the price paid includes a disclosed, fixed commission or discount retained by the underwriter or dealer.

When the Manager places orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the Fund and buys and sells securities for the Fund, it is anticipated that such transactions will be effected through a number of brokers and dealers. In so doing, the Manager intends to use its best efforts to obtain for the Fund the most favorable price and execution available, except to the extent that it may be permitted to pay higher brokerage commissions as described below. In seeking the most favorable price and execution, the Manager considers all factors it deems relevant, including, by way of illustration, price, the size of the transaction, the nature of the market for the security, the amount of commission, the timing of the transaction taking into account market prices and trends, the reputation, experience and financial stability of the broker/ dealer involved and the quality of service rendered by the broker/dealer in other transactions.

It has for many years been a common practice in the investment advisory business for advisors of investment companies and other institutional investors to receive research, statistical and quotation services from brokers which execute portfolio transactions for the clients of such advisors. Consistent with this practice, the Manager may receive research, statistical and quotation services from brokers with which the Fund’s portfolio transactions are placed. These services, which in some instances could also be purchased for cash, include such matters as general economic and security market reviews, industry and company reviews, evaluations of securities and recommendations as to the purchase and sale of securities. Some of these services may be of value to the Manager in advising various clients (including the Fund), although not all of these services are necessarily useful and of value in managing the Fund. The fees paid to the Manager are not reduced because it receives such services.

As permitted by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Management Agreement, the Manager may cause the Fund to pay a broker which provides “brokerage and research services” (as defined in the Act) to the Manager an amount of disclosed commission for effecting a securities transaction for the Fund in excess of the commission which another broker would have charged for effecting that transaction. The authority of the Manager to cause the Fund to pay any such greater commissions is subject to such policies as the Trustees may adopt from time to time.

Under the Investment Company Act, persons affiliated with the Fund are prohibited from dealing with the Fund as a principal in the purchase and sale of securities.

The total brokerage commissions paid for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007 were $1,429,122, $853,706 and $1,148,475, respectively.

REDEMPTION OF SHARES AND DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

How to Redeem Shares

The procedures for redemption of Fund shares are summarized in the text of the Prospectus following the caption “How to Redeem.” Redemption requests must be in good order, as defined in the Prospectus. Upon receipt of a redemption request in good order, the shareholder will receive a check equal to the net asset value of the redeemed shares next determined after the redemption request has been received. The Fund will accept redemption requests only on days the New York Stock Exchange is open. Proceeds will normally be forwarded on the next day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open; however, the Fund reserves the right to take up to seven days to make payment if, in the judgment of the manager, the Fund could be adversely affected by immediate payment. The proceeds of redemption may be more or less than the shareholder’s investment and thus may involve a capital gain or loss for tax purposes. If the shares to be redeemed represent an investment made by check, the Fund reserves the right not to forward the proceeds of the redemption until the check has been collected.

The Fund may suspend the right of redemption and may postpone payment only when the New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than customary weekends and holidays, or if permitted by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission during periods when trading on the Exchange is restricted or during any emergency which makes it impracticable for the Fund to dispose of its securities or to determine fairly the value of its net assets, or during any other period permitted by order of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Fund reserves the right to redeem shares and mail the proceeds to the shareholder if at any time the net asset value of the shares in the shareholder’s account in the Fund falls below a specified level, currently set at $2,500. Shareholders will be notified and will have 30 days to bring the account up to the required level before any redemption action will be taken by the Fund. The Fund also reserves the right to redeem shares in a shareholder’s account in excess of an amount set from time to time by the Trustees. No such limit is presently in effect, but such a limit could be established at any time and could be applicable to existing as well as future shareholders.

How Net Asset Value is Determined

The net asset value per share of the Fund is determined once on each day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open, as of the close of the Exchange. The Trust expects that the days, other than weekend days, that the Exchange will not be open are New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President’s Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. The Fund’s portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, which is determined by using the last reported sale price, or, if no sales are reported—and in the case of certain securities traded over-the-counter—the last reported bid price. For Nasdaq traded securities, market value may also be determined on the basis of the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (the “NOCP”) instead of the last reported sales price.

Certain securities and assets of the Fund may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or by persons acting at their direction pursuant to guidelines established by the Trustees. Such valuations and procedures are reviewed periodically by the Trustees. The fair value of such securities is generally determined as the amount which the Fund could reasonably expect to realize from an orderly disposition of such securities over a reasonable period of time. The valuation procedures applied in any specific instance are likely to vary from case to case. However, consideration is generally given to the financial position of the issuer and other fundamental analytical data relating to the investment and to the nature of the restrictions on disposition of the securities (including any registration expenses that might be borne by the Fund in connection with such disposition). In addition, such specific factors are also generally considered as the cost of the investment, the market value of any unrestricted securities of the same class (both at the time of purchase and at the time of valuation), the size of the holding, the prices of any recent transactions or offers with respect to such securities and any available analysts’ reports regarding the issuer.

Generally, trading in U.S. Government Securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the Exchange. The value of such securities used for determining the Fund’s net asset value per share is computed as of such times. Occasionally, events affecting the value of such securities may occur between such times and the close of the Exchange which will not be reflected in the computation of the Fund’s net asset value. If events materially affecting the value of the Fund’s securities occur during such period, then these securities will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees.

TAXES

distribution, and will be subject to federal income taxes as a dividend, ordinary income or, if properly designated by the Fund, as long-term capital gain. Tax legislation enacted in 2003 generally provides for a maximum tax rate for individual taxpayers of 15% on long-term gains from sales and from certain qualifying dividends on corporate stock. These rate reductions do not apply to corporate taxpayers. Distributions of earnings from dividends paid by certain “qualified foreign corporations” can also qualify for the lower tax rates on qualifying dividends. A shareholder will also have to satisfy a more than 60 day holding period with respect to any distributions of qualifying dividends in order to obtain the benefit of the lower tax rate. Distributions of earnings from non-qualifying dividends interest income, other types of ordinary income and short-term capital gains will be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate applicable to the taxpayer. In general, any gain or loss realized upon a taxable disposition of Fund shares by a shareholder will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for more than one year and otherwise as short-term capital gain or loss. However, any loss realized upon a taxable disposition of shares held for six months or less will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of any long-term capital gain distributions received by the shareholder with respect to those shares. All or a portion of any loss realized upon a taxable disposition of Fund shares will be disallowed if other Fund shares are purchased by the shareholder within 30 days before or after the disposition.

The Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In order to so qualify, the Fund must, among other things, (a) derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, payments with respect to certain securities loans, and gains from the sale of stock or securities, or other income derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock or securities; (b) each year distribute at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income,” which, in general, consists of investment income and short-term capital gains; and (c) diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each fiscal quarter (i) at least 50% of the market value of the Fund’s assets is represented by cash, cash items, U.S. Government securities, securities of other regulated investment companies, and other securities, limited in respect of any one issuer to a value not greater than 5% of the value of the Fund’s total assets and 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer, and (ii) not more than 25% of the value of its assets is invested in the securities (other than those of the U.S. Government or other regulated investment companies) of any one issuer or of two or more issuers which the Fund controls and which are engaged in the same, similar or related trades or businesses. By so qualifying, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent that its net investment income, net realized short-term capital gains and net realized long-term capital gains are distributed.

In years when the Fund distributes amounts in excess of its earnings and profits, such distributions may be treated in part as a return of capital. A return of capital is not taxable to a shareholder and has the effect of reducing the shareholder’s basis in the shares. The Fund currently has no intention or policy to distribute amounts in excess of its earnings and profits.

Distributions from the Fund will qualify for the dividends-received deduction for corporations to the extent that the Fund’s gross income was derived from qualifying dividends from domestic corporations.

Annually, shareholders will receive information as to the tax status of distributions made by the Fund in each calendar year.

The Fund is required to withhold and remit to the U.S. Treasury 28% of all dividend income earned by any shareholder account for which an incorrect or no taxpayer identification number has been provided or where the Fund is notified that the shareholder has under-reported income in the past (or the shareholder fails to certify that he is not subject to such withholding). In addition, the Fund will be required to withhold and remit to the U.S. Treasury 28% of the amount of the proceeds of any redemption of shares of a shareholder account for which an incorrect or no taxpayer identification number has been provided.

The foregoing relates to federal income taxation of United States citizens or residents. It does not apply to anyone who may be in a special tax situation. Distributions from investment income and capital gains may also be subject to state and local taxes. The Fund is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Under current law, as long as the Fund qualifies for the federal income tax treatment described above, it is believed that the Fund will not be liable for any income or franchise tax imposed by Massachusetts.

CALCULATION OF RETURN AND PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS

Calculation of Return

Total Return is a measure of the change in value of an investment in the Fund over the period covered, which assumes any dividends or capital gains distributions are reinvested immediately rather than paid to the investor in cash. The formula for Total Return used herein includes four steps: (1) adding to the total number of shares purchased by a hypothetical $1,000 investment in the Fund all additional shares which would have been purchased if all dividends and distributions paid or distributed during the period had been immediately reinvested; (2) calculating the value of the hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 as of the end of the period by multiplying the total number of shares owned at the end of the period by the net asset value per share on the last trading day of the period; (3) assuming redemption at the end of the period; and (4) dividing this account value for the hypothetical investor by the initial $1,000 investment.

(before taxes) is calculated by computing the average annual compounded rates of return of a hypothetical investment over such periods, according to the following formula (average annual total return is then expressed as a percentage):

P(1 + T)ⁿ = ERV

Where:


T	=	average annual total return
P	=	a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
n	=	number of years
ERV	=	ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the beginning of the designated time period.

It should be noted that average annual total return is based on historical performance and is not intended to indicate future performance. Average annual total return for the Fund will vary based on changes in market conditions and the level of the Fund’s expenses.

The average annual total return (after taxes on distributions) will be calculated according to the following formula:

P(1 + T)ⁿ = ATV_D

Where:


P	=	a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000,
T	=	average annual total return (after taxes on distributions),
n	=	number of years, and
ATV_D	=	the ending value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the beginning of the designated time period, after taxes on fund distributions but not after taxes on redemption.

The average annual total return (after taxes on distributions and redemptions) will be calculated according to the following formula:

P(1 + T)ⁿ = ATV_DR

Where:


P	=	a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000,
T	=	average annual total return (after taxes on distributions and redemption),
n	=	number of years, and
ATV_DR	=	the ending value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the beginning of the designated time period, after taxes on distributions and redemption.

The Fund may from time to time include its Total Return in information furnished to present or prospective shareholders. The Fund may from time to time also include its Total Return and Yield and the ranking of those performance figures relative to such figures for groups of mutual funds categorized by Lipper Analytical Services, Morningstar, the Investment Company Institute and other similar services as having the same investment objective as the Fund.

PROXY VOTING

The Board of Trustees of the Trust has adopted proxy voting policies and procedures (the “Policy”), pursuant to which the Trustees have delegated proxy voting responsibility to the Manager and adopted the Manager’s proxy voting policy and procedures which are described below. The Trustees will review the Fund’s proxy voting records from time to time and will annually consider approving the Policy for the upcoming year. In the event that a conflict of interest arises between the Fund’s shareholders and the Manager or any of its affiliates or any affiliate of the Fund, the Manager will generally refrain from voting the proxies related to the companies giving rise to such conflict until it consults with the Board of Trustees. A Committee of the Board with responsibility for proxy oversight will instruct the Manager on the appropriate course of action. The Manager generally reviews each matter on a case-by-case basis in order to make a determination of how to vote in a manner that best serves the interests of Fund shareholders. The Manager may abstain from voting from time to time where it determines that the costs associated with voting a proxy outweigh the benefits derived from exercising the right to vote. In addition, the Manager will monitor situations that may result in a conflict of interest between the Fund’s shareholders and the Manager or any of its affiliate or any affiliate of the Fund by maintaining a list of significant existing and prospective corporate clients. Information on how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the 12 month period ended June 30th each year is available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-443-3036 and (2) on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

Morningstar, Inc., Lipper Analytical Services, and other financial intermediaries, pursuant to a confidentiality agreement. A complete list of the Fund’s portfolio holdings is publicly available on a quarterly basis through filings made with the SEC on Forms N-CSR and N-Q. The Fund also makes available certain additional information regarding its portfolio holdings on its website, www.torray.com.

Whenever portfolio holdings disclosure made pursuant to the Fund’s procedures involves a conflict of interest between the Fund’s shareholders and the Fund’s Manager or any affiliated person of the Fund, the disclosure may not be made unless a majority of the Trust’s Independent Trustees or a majority of a board committee consisting solely of Independent Trustees approves such disclosure. Neither the Fund nor the Manager may enter into any arrangement providing for the disclosure of non-public portfolio holding information for the receipt of compensation or benefit of any kind.

Any exceptions to the policies and procedures may only be made by the consent of the Trust’s chief compliance officer upon a determination that such disclosure serves a legitimate business purpose and is in the best interests of the Fund and will be reported to the Board at the Board’s next regularly scheduled meeting. Any amendments to the Trust’s policies and procedures must be approved and adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.

ORGANIZATION OF THE FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, POLICIES, RISKS, AND RESTRICTIONS

Investment Objective

The Fund is a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund’s goal is to build investor wealth over extended periods. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve this objective.

Equity Securities. Since the Fund purchases equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common stocks, the Fund is subject to the risks that stock prices both individually and market-wide will fall over short or extended periods of time, and that prices of the Fund’s equity securities may fluctuate from day-to-day. Historically, the stock markets have moved in cycles. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The stock prices of these companies may suffer a decline in response. These factors contribute to price volatility. Therefore, in order to be successful, investors must accept that although the stocks of good companies generally rise over long periods, they can trade at virtually any price in the short run.

related to the credit quality of the issuer of the security. Such high yield/high risk securities are further subject to the risk that changes in economic conditions could lead to a weakened capacity of the issuers of the securities to make principal and interest payments, which is not necessarily the case with issuers of higher rated securities.

U.S. Treasury Securities. The Fund is free to invest in U.S. Treasury Securities of varying maturities. There are usually no brokerage commissions as such paid by the Fund in connection with the purchase of such instruments. The value of such securities can be expected to vary inversely to the changes in prevailing interest rates. Thus, if interest rates have increased from the time a security was purchased, such security, if sold, might be sold at a price less than its cost. Similarly, if interest rates have declined from the time a security was purchased, such security, if sold, might be sold at a price greater than its cost. See “Brokerage Services,” for a discussion of underwriters’ commissions and dealers’ spreads involved in the purchase and sale of such instruments.

The investment objective and policies of the Fund set forth above and in the Prospectus may be changed without shareholder approval.

Investment Restrictions

Without a vote of the majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, the Fund will not take any of the following actions:

(1)

Borrow money or issue senior securities, except that the Fund may borrow up to 5% of the value (taken at the lower of cost or current value) of the Fund’s total assets (not including the amount borrowed) at the time the borrowing is made, and then only from banks as a temporary measure to facilitate the meeting of redemption requests (and not for leverage) or for extraordinary or emergency purposes.

(2)

Pledge, hypothecate, mortgage or otherwise encumber its assets in excess of 10% of the Fund’s total assets (taken at cost), and then only to secure borrowings permitted by Restriction 1 above.

(3)

Purchase securities on margin, except such short-term credits as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of securities.

(4)

(5)

(6)

(7)

Purchase or sell commodities or commodity contracts, including future contracts.

(8)

Make loans, except by purchase of debt obligations or by entering into repurchase agreements.

(9)

(10)

Acquire more than 10% of the voting securities of any issuer.

(11)

Concentrate more than 25% of the value of its total assets in any one industry.

(12)

Issue senior securities, except to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, by SEC exemptive order, or by the Commission.

(1)

Invest more than 10% of the Fund’s net assets (taken at current value) in securities which at the time of such investment are not readily marketable.

(2)

Write (sell) or purchase options.

(3)

Buy or sell oil, gas or other mineral leases, rights or royalty contracts.

(4)

Make investments for the purpose of gaining control of a company’s management.

The phrase “shareholder approval,” as used in the Prospectus, and the phrase “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities,” as used herein, means the

affirmative vote of the lesser of (1) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund, or (2) 67% or more of the shares of the Fund present at a meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding shares are represented at the meeting in person or by proxy.

MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND

The Trust is overseen by a Board of Trustees (the “Board), who has delegated day-to-day management to the officers of the Trust. The Board meets regularly to review the Fund’s activities, contractual arrangements, and performance. The Trustees and officers serve until their successors are elected or qualified, or until the trustee or officer dies, resigns, is removed, or becomes disqualified.

The Board has an Audit Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and a Valuation Committee. The Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are each comprised of all of the Board’s Independent Trustees. The Valuation Committee is comprised of at least two of the Board’s Independent Trustees. The Valuation Committee meets quarterly, as needed, in the event that the Fund holds any securities that are subject to valuation and it reviews the valuation of such securities on an as needed basis. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the Valuation Committee met four times. The Audit Committee oversees the Trust’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and oversees the quality and objectivity of the Trust’s financial statements and the independent audit thereof. Mr. Moltz serves as chair of the Audit Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates the qualifications of Board member candidates and makes nominations for Independent Trustee membership on the Board. Ms. Crawford serves as chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Committee does not generally consider nominees recommended by shareholders. This Committee also oversees the Board governance process and has responsibility for periodically reviewing Board composition, Board compensation, Board committees and related Board process matters relating to Board governance practices. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Audit Committee met two times and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met one time.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the dollar range of equity securities owned by each Trustee in the Fund and the Fund Complex is as follows:

INVESTMENT MANAGER AND OTHER SERVICES

The Manager

Pursuant to a written management contract (“Management Agreement”) between the Fund and Torray LLC (the “Manager”), subject to such policies as the Trustees of the Fund may determine, the Fund pays the Manager a single comprehensive management fee at the annual rate of 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, which fee covers all operating expenses of the Fund including the investment advisory and management services provided by the Manager. Under the Management Agreement, the Manager furnishes continuously an investment program for the Fund and makes investment decisions on behalf of the Fund and places all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities subject always to applicable investment objectives, policies and restrictions.

Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager bears all expenses of the Fund, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Trustees, interest charges, taxes, expenses of issue or redemption of shares, fees and expenses of registering and qualifying the shares of the Fund for distribution under federal and state laws and regulations, charges of custodians, auditing and legal expenses, reports to shareholders, expenses of meetings of shareholders, expenses of printing and mailing prospectuses, proxy statements and proxies to existing shareholders, and insurance premiums.

*	If an account has a co-portfolio manager, the total number of accounts and assets have been allocated to each respective manager. Therefore, some accounts and assets have been counted twice.

As indicated in the table above, portfolio managers at the Manager may manage accounts for multiple clients. The portfolio managers manage other registered investment companies, other types of pooled accounts (such as private investment funds), and separate accounts (i.e., accounts managed on behalf of individuals for public or private institutions). Portfolio managers at the Manager make investment decisions for each account based on the investment objectives and policies and other relevant investment considerations applicable to that portfolio. Because a portfolio manager’s compensation is affected by revenues earned by the Manager, the incentives associated with any given account may be higher or lower than those associated with other accounts. The Manager has adopted and implemented policies and procedures, including brokerage and trade allocation policies and procedures, which it believes address the conflicts associated with managing multiple accounts for multiple clients. The Manager monitors a variety of areas, including compliance with account investment guidelines, the allocation of initial public offerings and other similar investment opportunities, and compliance with the Manager’s Code of Ethics.

Each portfolio manager’s compensation consists of a fixed annual salary, plus additional remuneration based on the overall performance of the Manager for the given time period.

The dollar range of equity securities of the Fund beneficially owned by the Fund’s portfolio managers as of December 31, 2007 is as follows:


Portfolio Manager	Dollar Range of Equity Securities of The Fund Beneficially Owned
Robert E. Torray	Over $	1,000,000
Fred M. Fialco		$0
Wayne H. Shaner		$0
Shawn M. Hendon		$0

Torray LLC, the Manager, is a Maryland limited liability company organized in 2005. The Manager is the successor to the Fund’s prior investment adviser, The Torray Corporation.

Fund Counsel. Dechert LLP, 1775 I Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20006, serves as counsel to the Trust.

DISTRIBUTIONS

Distributions from Net Investment Income. The Fund pays out substantially all of its net investment income (i.e., dividends, interest it receives from its investments, and short-term gains). It is the present policy of the Fund to declare and pay distributions from net investment income quarterly.

Distributions of Capital Gains. The Fund’s policy is to distribute annually substantially all of the net realized capital gain, if any, after giving effect to any available capital loss carryover. Net realized capital gain is the excess of net realized long-term capital gain over net realized short-term capital loss.

BROKERAGE SERVICES

manager intends to use its best efforts to obtain for the Fund the most favorable price and execution available, except to the extent that it may be permitted to pay higher brokerage commissions as described below. In seeking the most favorable price and execution, the manager considers all factors it deems relevant, including, by way of illustration, price, the size of the transaction, the nature of the market for the security, the amount of commission, the timing of the transaction taking into account market prices and trends, the reputation, experience and financial stability of the broker/ dealer involved and the quality of service rendered by the broker/dealer in other transactions.

It has for many years been a common practice in the investment advisory business for advisors of investment companies and other institutional investors to receive research, statistical and quotation services from brokers which execute portfolio transactions for the clients of such advisors. Consistent with this practice, the Manager may receive research, statistical and quotation services from brokers with which the Fund’s portfolio transactions are placed. These services, which in some instances could also be purchased for cash, include such matters as general economic and security market reviews, industry and company reviews, evaluations of securities and recommendations as to the purchase and sale of securities. Some of these services may be of value to the Manager in advising various of its clients (including the Fund), although not all of these services are necessarily useful and of value in managing the Fund. The fees paid to the Manager are not reduced because it receives such services.

Under the Investment Company Act, persons affiliated with the Fund are prohibited from dealing with the Fund as a principal in the purchase and sale of securities.

The total brokerage commissions paid for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007 were $1,127,635, $327,629, and $229,760, respectively.

REDEMPTION OF SHARES AND DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

How to Redeem Shares

redeemed shares next determined after the redemption request has been received. The Fund will accept redemption requests only on days the New York Stock Exchange is open. Proceeds will normally be forwarded on the next day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open; however, the Fund reserves the right to take up to seven days to make payment if, in the judgment of the Manager, the Fund could be adversely affected by immediate payment. The proceeds of redemption may be more or less than the shareholder’s investment and thus may involve a capital gain or loss for tax purposes. If the shares to be redeemed represent an investment made by check, the Fund reserves the right not to forward the proceeds of the redemption until the check has been collected.

The Fund reserves the right to redeem shares and mail the proceeds to the shareholder if at any time the net asset value of the shares in the shareholder’s account in the Fund falls below a specified level, currently set at $5,000,000. Shareholders will be notified and will have 30 days to bring the account up to the required level before any redemption action will be taken by the Fund. The Fund also reserves the right to redeem shares in a shareholder’s account in excess of an amount set from time to time by the Trustees. No such limit is presently in effect, but such a limit could be established at any time and could be applicable to existing as well as future shareholders.

How Net Asset Value is Determined

are reviewed periodically by the Trustees. The fair value of such securities is generally determined as the amount which the Fund could reasonably expect to realize from an orderly disposition of such securities over a reasonable period of time. The valuation procedures applied in any specific instance are likely to vary from case to case. However, consideration is generally given to the financial position of the issuer and other fundamental analytical data relating to the investment and to the nature of the restrictions on disposition of the securities (including any registration expenses that might be borne by the Fund in connection with such disposition). In addition, such specific factors are also generally considered as the cost of the investment, the market value of any unrestricted securities of the same class (both at the time of purchase and at the time of valuation), the size of the holding, the prices of any recent transactions or offers with respect to such securities and any available analysts’ reports regarding the issuer.

TAXES

All dividends and distributions of the Fund, whether received in shares or cash, are taxable to the Fund’s shareholders and must be reported by each shareholder on his federal income tax return. Although a dividend or capital gains distribution received after the purchase of the Fund’s shares reduces the net asset value of the shares by the amount of the dividend or distribution, it will be treated as a distribution, and will be subject to federal income taxes as a dividend, ordinary income or, if properly designated by the Fund, as long-term capital gain. Tax legislation enacted in 2003 generally provides for a maximum tax rate for individual taxpayers of 15% on long-term gains from sales and from certain qualifying dividends on corporate stock. These rate reductions do not apply to corporate taxpayers. Distributions of earnings from dividends paid by certain “qualified foreign corporations” can also qualify for the lower tax rates on qualifying dividends. A shareholder will also have to satisfy a more than 60 day holding period with respect to any distributions of qualifying dividends in order to obtain the benefit of the lower tax rate. Distributions of earnings from non-qualifying dividends interest income, other types of ordinary income and short-term capital gains will be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate applicable to the taxpayer. In general, any gain or loss realized upon a taxable disposition of Fund shares by a shareholder will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for more than one year and otherwise as short-term capital gain or loss. However, any loss realized upon a taxable disposition of shares held for six months or less will be treated as long-term capital

loss to the extent of any long-term capital gain distributions received by the shareholder with respect to those shares. All or a portion of any loss realized upon a taxable disposition of Fund shares will be disallowed if other Fund shares are purchased by the shareholder within 30 days before or after the disposition.

Annually, shareholders will receive information as to the tax status of distributions made by the Fund in each calendar year.

CALCULATION OF RETURN AND PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS

Calculation of Return

Average annual total return is the average annual compounded rate of return for periods of one year, five years and ten years, all ended on the last day of a recent calendar quarter. Average annual total return quotations reflect changes in the price of the Fund’s shares and assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions during the respective periods were reinvested in Fund shares. Average annual total return (before taxes) is calculated by computing the average annual compounded rates of return of a hypothetical investment over such periods, according to the following formula (average annual total return is then expressed as a percentage):

P(1 + T)ⁿ = ERV

Where:


T	=	average annual total return
P	=	a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
n	=	number of years
ERV	=	ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the beginning of the designated time period.

It should be noted that average annual total return is based on historical performance and is not intended to indicate future performance. Average annual total

return for the Fund will vary based on changes in market conditions and the level of the Fund’s expenses.

The average annual total return (after taxes on distributions) will be calculated according to the following formula:

P(1 + T)ⁿ = ATV_D

Where:


P	=	a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000,
T	=	average annual total return (after taxes on distributions),
n	=	number of years, and
ATV_D	=	the ending value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the beginning of the designated time period, after taxes on fund distributions but not after taxes on redemption.

The average annual total return (after taxes on distributions and redemptions) will be calculated according to the following formula:

P(1+T)ⁿ = ATV_DR

Where:


P	=	a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000,
T	=	average annual total return (after taxes on distributions and redemption),
n	=	number of years, and
ATV_DR	=	the ending value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the beginning of the designated time period, after taxes on distributions and redemption.

Performance Comparisons

PROXY VOTING

shareholders and the Manager or any of its affiliates or any affiliate of the Fund, the Manager will generally refrain from voting the proxies related to the companies giving rise to such conflict until it consults with the Board of Trustees. A Committee of the Board with responsibility for proxy oversight will instruct the Manager on the appropriate course of action. The Manager generally reviews each matter on a case-by-case basis in order to make a determination of how to vote in a manner that best serves the interests of Fund shareholders. The Manager may abstain from voting from time to time where it determines that the costs associated with voting a proxy outweigh the benefits derived from exercising the right to vote. In addition, the Manager will monitor situations that may result in a conflict of interest between the Fund’s shareholders and the Manager or any of its affiliate or any affiliate of the Fund by maintaining a list of significant existing and prospective corporate clients. Information on how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the 12 month period ended June 30th each year is available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-443-3036 and (2) on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures concerning the public and nonpublic disclosure of the Fund’s portfolio securities. In order to protect the confidentiality of the Fund’s portfolio holdings, information regarding those holdings may not, as a general matter, be disclosed except: (1) to service providers that require such information in the course of performing their duties (such as the Fund’s investment adviser, administrator, custodian, independent public accountants, legal counsel, officers, the Board of Trustees, and each of their respective affiliates) and that are subject to a duty of confidentiality, and (2) pursuant to certain enumerated exceptions. These exceptions include: (1) disclosure of portfolio holdings only after such information has been publicly disclosed, and (2) to third-party vendors, such as Morningstar, Inc., Lipper Analytical Services, and other financial intermediaries, pursuant to a confidentiality agreement. A complete list of the Fund’s portfolio holdings is publicly available on a quarterly basis through filings made with the SEC on Forms N-CSR and N-Q. The Fund also makes available certain additional information regarding its portfolio holdings on its website, www.torray.com.

Any exceptions to the policies and procedures may only be made by the consent of the Trust’s chief compliance officer upon a determination that such disclosure

serves a legitimate business purpose and is in the best interests of the Fund and will be reported to the Board at the Board’s next regularly scheduled meeting. Any amendments to the Trust’s policies and procedures must be approved and adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.

Item 24. Persons Controlled By or Under Common Control with Registrant

None.

Item 25. Indemnification

Article VIII of the Registrant’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust, provides in effect that the Registrant will indemnify its officers and Trustees under certain circumstances. However, in accordance with Section 17(h) and 17(i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and its own terms, said Agreement and Declaration of Trust does not protect any person against any liability to the Registrant or its shareholders to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties in the conduct of his or her office.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to Trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions (or otherwise), the Registrant is aware that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and, therefore, is 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 Trustees, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant in connection with the successful defense of any act, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such Trustees, officers or controlling persons 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 issues.
