RISK/RETURN SUMMARY

The following is a summary of certain key information about Sequoia Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). You will find additional information about the Fund, including a description of the principal risks of an investment in the Fund, after this summary.

Objective: The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.

Principal Investment Strategy: The Fund invests primarily in common stocks. The Fund invests in the securities of a limited number of companies , including foreign companies, that it believes have attractive long-term economic prospects relative to their market price. The Fund usually invests cash reserves in U.S. Government securities.

Principal Risks: The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:

• Market Risk. This is the risk that the value of the Fund’s investments will fluctuate as the stock markets fluctuate and that prices overall will decline, perhaps severely, over short- or long-term periods. You may lose money by investing in the Fund.

• Focused Portfolio Risk. The Fund is “non-diversified,” meaning that it invests its assets in a smaller number of companies than many other funds. As a result, your investment in the Fund has the risk that changes in the value of a single security may have a significant effect, either negative or positive, on the Fund’s net asset value.

• Foreign (Non-U.S.) Risk. This is the risk that the value of the Fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers will be affected adversely by foreign economic, social and political conditions and developments or by the application of foreign legal, regulatory, accounting and auditing standards or foreign taxation policies or by currency fluctuations and controls. The prices of foreign securities may move in a different direction or be more volatile than the prices of U.S. securities.

• Currency Risk. This is the risk that the value of the Fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers, measured in U.S. Dollars, will increase or decrease as a result of changes in currency exchange rates. The Fund may determine not to hedge its foreign currency exposure. Unhedged currency exposure may result in gains or losses as a result of a change in the relationship between the U.S. Dollar and the respective foreign currency.

• Risks of Investing in a Managed Fund. The investment decisions of the investment adviser may cause the Fund to underperform other investments or benchmark indices.

Bar Chart and Performance Information

The bar chart and the table shown below provide an indication of the historical risk of an investment in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year over a 10-year period and by showing how the Fund’s average annual returns for one, five, and ten years compare to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500 Index ”), a broad-based securities market index. The Fund’s past performance, of course, does not necessarily indicate how it will perform in the future.

Bar Chart

During the period shown in the bar chart, the highest return for a quarter was 20.34 % (quarter ending 12/98 ) and the lowest return for a quarter was -14.38% (quarter ending 9/99).

Performance Table
	1 Year		5 Years	10 Years
Sequoia Fund
Return Before Taxes		8.40%	9.18%		8.51%
Return After Taxes on Distributions Only 1		5.68%	8.08%		7.13%
Return After Taxes on Distributions and Redemption of Fund Shares 1		5.68%	7.90%		7.04%

S&P 500 Index 2
(reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes)		5.49%	12.82%		5.91%

________________________

1 After-tax returns are estimates, which are calculated using the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an individual investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. 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.

2 The S&P 500 Index is composed of 500 widely held common stocks.

FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND

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

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

The Fund does not impose any sales charges, exchange fees or redemption fees.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that are deducted from Fund assets)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses
Management Fees	1.00	%
Other Expenses	0.03	%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses	1.03	%
Expense Reimbursement*	0.03	%
Net Expenses	1.00	%

_______________________

* Reflects Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb Inc.’s (“Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb”) contractual reimbursement of a portion of the Fund’s operating expenses. This reimbursement is a provision of Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb’s investment advisory agreement with the Fund and the reimbursement will be in effect only so long as that investment advisory agreement is in effect.

Example

The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. It assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the periods indicated and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. It also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses stay the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 Year*				3 Years				5 Years				10 Years
$	102			$	325			$	566			$	1,257

_______________________

* The Board of Directors must approve Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb’s investment advisory agreement each year. These examples assume that Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb’s agreement to reimburse operating expenses is not extended beyond the first year.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND

This section of the Prospectus provides a more complete description of the Fund’s investment objective and principal strategies and risks. There can, of course, be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Investment Objective and Strategies

The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. In pursuing this objective the Fund focuses principally on common stocks that it believes are undervalued at the time of purchase and have the potential for growth. A guiding principle is the consideration of common stocks as units of ownership of a business and the purchase of them when the price appears low in relation to the value of the total enterprise. No weight is given to technical stock market studies. The balance sheet and earnings history and prospects of each investment are extensively studied to appraise fundamental value.

While the Fund normally invests in U.S. companies, it also may invest in foreign securities . The Fund is not required to be fully invested in common stocks.

Risk Considerations for the Fund

Market Risk - The value of the Fund’s investments may change, and possibly decrease, perhaps severely, in response to fluctuations in the stock markets generally.

Focused Portfolio Risk - The Fund is “non-diversified” and invests in the securities of a limited number of issuers. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer could cause greater fluctuations in the value of the Fund’s shares than would occur in a more diversified fund.

Foreign (Non-U.S.) Risk - This is the risk that the value of the Fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers will be affected adversely by foreign economic, social and political conditions and developments or by the application of foreign legal, regulatory, accounting and auditing standards or foreign taxation policies or by currency fluctuations and controls. The risks to the Fund and, therefore, to your investment in the Fund of investing in foreign securities include expropriation, settlement difficulties, market illiquidity and higher transaction costs. The prices of foreign securities may move in a different direction than the prices of U.S. securities. In addition, the prices of foreign securities may be more volatile than the prices of U.S. securities.

Currency Risk – This refers to the risk that securities which trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar may be affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates. An increase in the strength of the U.S. Dollar relative to a foreign currency will generally cause the U.S. Dollar value of an investment denominated in that currency to decline. Currency risk may be hedged or unhedged. Unhedged currency exposure may result in gains or losses as a result of change in the relationship between the U.S. Dollar and the respective foreign currency.

Risks of a Managed Fund - Performance of individual securities can vary widely. The investment decisions of the Fund’s investment adviser may cause the Fund to underperform benchmark indices. The Fund may also underperform other mutual funds with similar investment strategies. The Fund’s investment adviser may be incorrect in an assessment of a particular industry or company, or the investment adviser may not buy chosen securities at the lowest possible prices or sell securities at the highest possible prices. As with any mutual fund investment, there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goals.

Other Investment Information - Ordinarily, the Fund’s portfolio will be invested primarily in common stocks. However, the Fund is not required to be fully invested in common stocks and, in fact, usually maintains certain cash reserves. Depending upon market conditions, cash reserves may be a significant percentage of the Fund’s net assets. The Fund usually invests its cash reserves principally in U.S. Government securities.

Portfolio Turnover Rate - The portfolio turnover rate for the Fund is included in the Financial Highlights section. Normally, the Fund purchases and holds securities for sufficient periods to realize long-term capital appreciation and to qualify for long-term capital gain tax treatment. This means that the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is usually lower than that of many other funds. Portfolio turnover, however, will not be a limiting factor when management deems changes appropriate and the Fund’s portfolio turnover in such cases may exceed 50%. A higher rate of portfolio turnover increases brokerage and other expenses and may affect the Fund’s returns. A higher

portfolio turnover rate also may result in the realization of net short-term capital gains, which, when distributed, are taxable to the Fund’s shareholders.

Portfolio Holdings

A description of the Fund’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Fund’s portfolio securities is available in the Fund’s SAI.

MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND

Investment Adviser

The Fund’s investment adviser is Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb, 767 Fifth Avenue, Suite 4701, New York, New York 10153. Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb is registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb , is a registered broker-dealer and a member of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”).

Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb furnishes investment advisory services for the Fund. For these services, the Fund paid Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb 1% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 . This payment amounted to 0.97% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 , after subtracting certain Fund operating expenses that Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb reimbursed to the Fund.

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board's approval of the investment advisory agreement is available in the Fund’s annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007 .

Portfolio Managers

The following individuals serve as portfolio managers for the Fund and are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio:

• Robert D. Goldfarb, President. Mr. Goldfarb is Chairman and CEO of Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb, with which he has been associated for more than 36 years.

• David M. Poppe, Executive Vice President. Mr. Poppe is President and Director of Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb, with which he has been associated for nine years.

The Fund’s SAI provides additional information about the portfolio managers’ compensation, other accounts managed by the portfolio managers, and the portfolio managers’ ownership of securities in the Fund.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES

How the Fund Values Its Shares

The Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”) at the close of the Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m., New York time) each day the Exchange is open for business. Generally this means any weekday exclusive of New Year’s Day,

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and Good Friday. To calculate NAV, the Fund’s assets are valued and totaled, liabilities are subtracted, and the balance, called net assets, is divided by the number of shares outstanding. The Fund values its assets at their current market value determined on the basis of market quotations, or if such quotations are not readily available, such other methods as the Fund’s directors believe accurately reflect fair market value. Market quotations may not be readily available (a) in the event a portfolio investment’s shares are not actively traded, (b) sales prices are not reflective of market price, or (c) if there is a significant event that would affect the value of the Fund’s investments but has not been reflected in their share price. In such cases, the Fund will, to the extent required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, make a good faith determination of the market value of such investments or take such other action as the directors deem appropriate. In addition, because the Fund may own foreign securities and because the Fund has adopted fair value pricing procedures, the NAV is subject to change at certain times when the U.S. stock market may not be open.

Your order for purchase of shares is priced at the next NAV per share calculated after your order is received by the Fund. If you purchase or redeem shares on a day when the Exchange is closed, the NAV will be determined as of the close of business on the next following day that the Exchange is open for trading. The Fund reserves the right to reject any order to purchase shares (including additional investments by existing shareholders).

How to Buy Shares

You may purchase shares of the Fund directly by mail or by wire transfer or indirectly through participating financial intermediaries that have selling arrangements with the Fund. After you have established an account with the Fund directly and made your first purchase, you may make subsequent purchases by mail or telephone or through the Fund’s automatic investment plan. The Fund accepts purchase orders for fractional shares. The Fund reserves the right to withdraw the offering of Fund shares at any time, without notice.

Important Note to New Taxable Investors: As of March 31, 2008, the net unrealized appreciation of the Fund’s portfolio was approximately 44.6% of the Fund’s NAV. If the Fund sells appreciated securities and distributes the profit, the distributed appreciation will be taxable to you either as capital gains or as ordinary income, depending upon how long the Fund held the appreciated securities. You should carefully consider the potential tax effects of an investment in the Fund, due to the substantial, net unrealized appreciation of the Fund’s portfolio, prior to making an investment in the Fund.

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions, including the Fund, to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person opening an account with the Fund. If you are opening an account with the Fund and do not provide the requested information, the Fund (or its transfer agent) may not be able to open an account for you. If the Fund (or its transfer agent) is unable to verify your identity, or believes that it has identified potentially criminal activity, the Fund reserves the right to close your account or take such other action it deems reasonable or required by law.

Minimum Investment Amounts

	(i)	Your account number;
	(ii)	The number of shares to be purchased or the dollar value of the amount to be purchased;

	(iii)	Any required signatures of all account owners exactly as they are registered on the account;
	(iv)	Any required signature guarantees; and
	(v)	Any supporting legal documentation that is required in the case of estates, trusts, corporations or partnerships, and for certain types of other accounts.

Third party checks (i.e., any check which is not made payable to the Fund, DST Systems, Inc. or a retirement account custodian), credit cards, money orders, travelers checks, bearer securities, cashiers checks and cash will not be accepted. You will be charged (minimum of $2.50) for any check used for the purchase of Fund shares that is returned unpaid. If you purchased Fund shares by check, you may not receive the proceeds of a subsequent redemption request until there is a reasonable belief that the check has cleared, which may take up to 15 calendar days after the purchase date.

The transfer agent has adopted reasonable procedures to protect against unauthorized transactions made by telephone. Assuming the transfer agent properly acts on telephone instructions and follows such procedures, neither the Fund nor the transfer agent will be responsible for any losses due to transactions authorized by telephone.

Individual Retirement Accounts

You also may purchase shares for an individual retirement account, or IRA, including a Roth IRA. IRA investments are available for regular contributions as well as for qualified rollover contributions of distributions received from certain employer-sponsored pension and profit-sharing plans and from other IRAs. All assets in the IRA are automatically invested in Fund shares, including all dividends and capital gain distributions paid on Fund shares held in the IRA. There is an annual fee of $12.00 for an IRA account.

Keogh Plans

If you are self-employed, you may purchase Fund shares through a self-employment retirement plan (often referred to as a Keogh or HR-10 plan) covering yourself and your eligible employees.

How to Redeem Shares

You may redeem your shares (i.e., sell your shares to the Fund) on any day the Exchange is open. Your redemption price is the next NAV per share calculated after your order is received by the Fund. There is no redemption charge. Normally, payment for shares redeemed will be made within three days after receipt by the transfer agent of a written request in good order. The Fund has the right to take up to seven days to pay your redemption proceeds, and may postpone payment longer in the event of an emergency as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. If you purchased Fund shares by check you may not receive redemption proceeds until there is reasonable belief that the check has cleared, which may take up to 15 days after payment has been received. Wires for direct accounts are subject to a $10.00 fee.

By Mail

• You may send a written request for redemption to:

Sequoia Fund, Inc.
c/o DST Systems Inc.

P. O. Box 219477

Kansas City, Missouri 64121-9477

• Your request must include your account number and the number of shares to be redeemed or the dollar value of the amount to be redeemed. If your request involves a redemption amount of $250,000 or more, please include your telephone number.

• If you chose to have your shares issued in certificate form, your request must be accompanied by the outstanding certificates representing such shares together with a standard form of stock power signed by the registered owner or owners of such shares .

• If your shares are represented by stock certificates, the signature on the stock power must be guaranteed. A signature guarantee may be obtained from a domestic bank or trust company, broker, dealer, clearing agency, savings association, or other financial institution. An acknowledgment by a notary public is not acceptable.

By Telephone

You may make an oral redemption request of $25,000 or less, which does not require a signature guarantee, unless your address has changed within the 60 days prior to the request. All other redemption requests must have signature guarantees as described above. Certain shareholders, such as corporations, trusts and estates, may be required to submit additional documents.

Payment

·	The Fund, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, may pay the redemption price to you in cash or in portfolio securities, or partly in cash and partly in portfolio securities.

The Fund has adopted a policy under which the Fund may limit cash payments in connection with redemption requests to $250,000 during any ninety (90) day period. As a result, the Fund may pay you in securities or partly in securities if the amount of Fund shares that you redeem is more than $250,000.

·	It is highly likely that the Fund will pay you in securities or partly in securities if you make a redemption (or series of redemptions) in the amount of $250,000 or greater.

·	When satisfying redemption requests with portfolio securities, the Fund will deliver portfolio securities to you regardless of whether you have a brokerage or bank account into which you can take delivery of the securities.

If your redemption request involves more than $250,000 (or if your redemption request together with other redemption requests during any ninety (90) day period equal in the aggregate $250,000 or more) and you have a brokerage or bank account into which portfolio securities can be delivered, you must provide the Fund with information about the brokerage or bank account, including the name of the broker or bank, their Depository Trust Company (DTC) participant account number and your brokerage or bank account number, and your telephone number at the time of your redemption request.

If your redemption request involves more than $250,000 (or if your redemption request together with other redemption requests during any ninety (90) day period equal in the aggregate $250,000 or more) and you do not have a brokerage or bank account into which the portfolio securities can be delivered, the Fund will determine the value of the portfolio securities to be delivered to you in redemption as of the date of redemption and:

If the portfolio securities are certificated, the Fund will send you by registered mail a certificate or certificates representing the securities promptly upon its receipt of the certificate or certificates from the issuer or issuers. The issuer or issuers of the portfolio securities may not send certificates representing the securities to the Fund for a period of days. You may be unable to sell certificated portfolio securities registered in your name until you have received the certificate evidencing the securities; or

Ø	If the portfolio securities are not certificated, the Fund will send you a letter by registered mail confirming that the portfolio securities have been registered in your name by the transfer agent of the issuer.

As noted above, the Fund may take up to seven days to satisfy a redemption request. To avoid delays in receiving portfolio securities, you should establish a brokerage or bank account into which the securities can be delivered and, as set forth above, provide the Fund with the brokerage or bank account information at the time of your redemption request.

●

You should understand that you will incur brokerage and other costs in connection with the sale of any portfolio security that you receive in connection with a redemption request. You should also understand that, as a result of subsequent market volatility, the net proceeds from the ultimate sale of any securities that you receive upon a redemption may vary, either positively or negatively, and perhaps significantly, from the redemption value of your Fund shares. If provided with notice in advance of your chosen redemption date, the Fund’s management will assist you to the extent possible to minimize this potential market exposure by providing you in advance with a list of the approximate number and value of the portfolio securities that you will receive.

Automatic Withdrawal Plan

• You may elect a Withdrawal Plan, at no cost, if you own or purchase shares of the Fund valued at $10,000 or more. Call 1-800-686-6884 for details and to establish a Plan.

• Under the Plan, you may designate fixed payment amounts that you will receive monthly or quarterly from a Withdrawal Plan Account consisting of shares of the Fund that you deposit.

• Any cash dividends and capital gains distributions on shares held in a Withdrawal Plan Account are automatically reinvested.

• Sufficient shares will be redeemed at NAV to provide the cash necessary for each withdrawal payment.

• Redemptions for the purpose of withdrawals are made on or about the 15th day of the month at that day’s NAV, and checks are mailed promptly thereafter.

• If shares are registered in the name of a trustee or other fiduciary, payment will be made only to the fiduciary.

• As withdrawal payments may include a return of principal, they cannot be considered a guaranteed annuity or actual yield of income to the investor. Continued withdrawals in excess of income will reduce and possibly exhaust invested principal, especially in the event of a market decline. Consult your own financial advisers about whether the Withdrawal Plan is appropriate for you.

Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Shares

The Fund historically has been less at risk for frequent purchases and redemptions of shares of the Fund by shareholders of the Fund (“market timing”) than other mutual funds. In addition, the Fund historically has not experienced significant shareholder turnover. Nonetheless, because market timing activities can be detrimental to the Fund’s performance, the Fund, as a policy, discourages market timing and has a policy of monitoring trading of the Fund’s shares for frequent purchases and redemptions. Consequently, the Fund has implemented certain surveillance procedures designed to detect and deter market timing. Under these procedures, the Fund’s Compliance Officer reviews shareholder transactions for potential market timing activity. The Fund’s Compliance Officer also reviews reports issued by omnibus account holders that detail any potential market timing issues. If the Fund’s Compliance Officer determines that certain transactions rise to the level of market timing, the accounts in which those transactions have taken place may be “blocked” immediately and future purchases or exchange activity will be restricted or eliminated for such account or accounts for such term as the Compliance Officer shall determine.

Transactions Through Financial Services Organizations

Certain financial organizations such as broker-dealers, banks, and service providers have made arrangements with the Fund so that an investor may purchase or redeem shares through such organizations. In certain situations, the financial organizations may designate another financial entity to receive purchase and redemption orders on the Fund’s behalf. The Fund will be deemed to have received purchase or redemption instructions when a financial organization receives the instructions, provided that the instructions are in good order and have been transmitted in a timely manner. Client orders received prior to the close of the Exchange (currently 4:00 p.m., New York Time ), will be priced at the Fund’s NAV next calculated following the close of regular trading on that day. If you are a client of a securities broker or other financial organization such organization may charge a separate transaction fee or a fee for administrative service in connection with investments in Fund shares and may impose different account minimums and other requirements. These fees and requirements would be in addition to those imposed by the Fund. If you are investing through a securities broker or other financial organization, please refer to the organization’s program materials for any additional special provisions or conditions that may be different from those described in this Prospectus (for example, some or all of the services and privileges described may not be available to you). Securities brokers and other financial organizations have the responsibility for transmitting purchase orders and funds, and of crediting their clients’ accounts following redemptions, in a timely manner in accordance with their client agreements and this Prospectus.

Publications other than those distributed by the Fund may contain comparisons of Fund performance to the performance of various indices and investments for which reliable data is widely available. These publications may also include averages, performance rankings, or other information prepared by Morningstar, Lipper, or other recognized organizations providing mutual fund statistics. The Fund is not responsible for the accuracy of any data published by third party organizations.

DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

Dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, declared by the Fund on its outstanding shares will, at the election of each shareholder, be paid in cash or in additional whole or fractional shares of the Fund. If paid in additional shares, the shares will have an aggregate NAV equal to the cash amount of the dividend or distribution. You may elect to receive dividends and distributions in cash or in shares at the time you order shares. You may change your election at any time prior to the record date for a particular dividend or distribution by sending a written request to:

Sequoia Fund, Inc.

c/o DST Systems, Inc.

P. O. Box 219477

Kansas City, MO 64121 -9477

There is no sales charge or other charge in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions.

For federal income tax purposes, distributions of net income (including any short-term capital gains) by the Fund are taxable to you as

ordinary income. Distributions of long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains. The Fund’s distributions also may be subject to state and local taxes.

The Fund holds portfolio securities longer than most other funds typically hold securities. As a result, unrealized capital gains represent a significant portion of the value of your investment in the Fund. As of March 31, 2008 , the net unrealized appreciation of the Fund’s portfolio was approximately 44.6 % of the Fund’s NAV. If the Fund sells appreciated securities and distributes the profit, the distributed appreciation will be taxable to you either as capital gains or as ordinary income, depending upon how long the Fund held the appreciated securities . You should carefully consider the potential tax effect s of the substantial , net unrealized appreciation of the Fund’s portfolio on your investment in the Fund.

Dividends and distributions are taxable to you whether you receive the amount in cash or reinvest the amount in additional shares of the Fund. In addition, the redemption of Fund shares is a taxable transaction for federal income tax purposes whether paid in cash or in kind. If you buy shares just before the Fund deducts a distribution from its NAV, you will pay the full price for the shares and then receive a portion of the price back as a taxable distribution.

Each year shortly after December 31, the Fund will send you tax information stating the amount and type of all its distributions for the year. You should consult your tax adviser about the federal, state and local tax consequences of an investment in the Fund in your particular situation.

INVESTMENT POLICIES

(a) Foreign Securities

Investments may be made in both domestic and foreign companies. Investors should recognize that investments in foreign companies involve certain considerations which are not typically associated with investing in domestic companies. An investment may be affected by changes in currency rates and in exchange control regulations. There may be less publicly available information about a foreign company than about a domestic company. Foreign companies are not generally subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards comparable to those applicable to domestic companies. Foreign stock markets have substantially less volume than the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”) and securities of some foreign companies may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable domestic companies. There is generally less government regulation of foreign stock exchanges, brokers and listed companies than in the United States. In addition, with respect to certain foreign countries there is a possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation, political or social instability or diplomatic developments which could affect investments in those countries. Individual foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the United States’ economy in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments position.

(b ) Restricted or Not Readily Marketable Securities

The Fund may invest in securities acquired in a privately negotiated transaction from the issuer or a holder of the issuer’s securities and which may not be distributed publicly without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”). Such restricted securities may not thereafter ordinarily be sold by the Fund except in another private placement or under an effective registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act. The Fund will not invest in any restricted securities which will cause the then aggregate value of all of such restricted securities, as valued on the books of the Fund, to exceed 10% of the value of the Fund’s net assets (at the time of such investment and after giving effect thereto). Restricted securities are valued in such manner as the Board of Directors in good faith deems appropriate to reflect their fair value.

The purchase price and subsequent valuations of restricted securities normally reflect a discount from the price at which such securities trade when they are not restricted, since the restriction makes them less liquid. The amount of the discount from the prevailing market price is expected to vary depending upon the type of security, the character of the issuer, the party who will bear the expenses of registering the restricted securities and prevailing supply and demand conditions.

The Fund may not make loans or invest in any restricted securities or other illiquid assets which will cause the then aggregate value of all such restricted securities and other illiquid assets to exceed 10% of the value of the Fund’s net assets (at the time of such investment and after giving effect thereto).

If, pursuant to the foregoing policy, the Fund were to assume substantial positions in particular securities with a limited trading market, the activities of the Fund could have an adverse effect on the liquidity and marketability of such securities, and the Fund may not be able to dispose of its holdings in these securities at reasonable price levels. There are other investment companies and other investment media engaged in operations similar to those of the

Fund, and, to the extent that these organizations trade in the same securities, the Fund may be forced to dispose of its holdings at prices lower than otherwise would be obtained.

The Fund intends to invest in special situations from time to time. A special situation arises when, in the opinion of the Fund’s management, the securities of a particular company will, within a reasonably estimable period of time, be accorded market recognition at an appreciated value solely by reason of a development particularly or uniquely applicable to that company and regardless of general business conditions or movements of the market as a whole. Developments creating special situations might include, among others, the following: liquidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations or mergers; material litigation; technological breakthroughs; and new management or management policies. Although large and well-known companies may be involved, special situations often involve much greater risk than is inherent in ordinary investment securities. The Fund will not, however, purchase securities of any company with a record of less than three years’ continuous operation (including that of predecessors) if such purchase would cause the Fund’s investments in all such companies to exceed 25% of the value of the Fund’s total assets.

(d) Other Investment Policies

The Fund will not seek to realize profits by anticipating short-term market movements and intends to purchase securities for growth of capital, in particular long-term capital appreciation. In any event, under ordinary circumstances, securities will be held for sufficient periods to qualify for long-term capital gain treatment for tax purposes. While the rate of portfolio turnover will not be a limiting factor when management deems changes appropriate, it is anticipated that given the Fund’s investment objective, its annual portfolio turnover rate generally should not exceed 75%. (The portfolio turnover rate is calculated by dividing the lesser of the Fund’s purchases and sales of portfolio securities during the period in question by the monthly average of the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities during that period. Excluded from consideration in the calculation are U.S. Government securities and all other securities with maturities of one year or less when purchased by the Fund.)

A diversified investment company may not, with respect to 75% of its total assets, invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer and may not own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer. While the Fund is a non-diversified investment company and therefore is not subject to any statutory diversification requirements, it will be required to meet certain diversification tests each year in order to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code, as it intends to do. See “Tax Considerations”, page 15 . The Fund will not acquire more than 25% of any class of the securities of any issuer. The Fund reserves the right, without stockholder action, to diversify its investments to any extent it deems advisable or to become a diversified company, but once the Fund becomes a diversified company, it could not thereafter change its status to that of a non-diversified company without the approval of its stockholders.

The Fund has adopted certain investment restrictions as a matter of fundamental investment policy, which may not be changed without a stockholder vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities as defined in Section 2(a)(42) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”). The Fund may not:

1. Underwrite the securities of other issuers, except the Fund may, as indicated above (see “Restricted or Not Readily Marketable Securities,” page 2), acquire restricted securities under circumstances where, if such securities are sold, the Fund might be deemed to be an underwriter for purposes of the Securities Act.

2. Purchase or sell real estate or interests in real estate, but the Fund may purchase marketable securities of companies holding real estate or interests in real estate.

3. Purchase or sell commodities or commodity contracts.

4. Make loans to other persons except by the purchase of a portion of an issue of publicly distributed bonds, debentures or other debt securities, except that the Fund may purchase privately sold bonds, debentures or other debt securities immediately convertible into equity securities subject to the restrictions applicable to the purchase of not readily marketable securities. (See “Restricted or Not Readily Marketable Securities,” page 2.)

5. Borrow money except for temporary or emergency purposes and then only from banks and in an aggregate amount not exceeding 5% of the value of the Fund’s total assets at the time any borrowing is made, provided that the term “borrow” shall not include the short-term credits referred to in paragraph 6 below.

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

7. Make short sales of securities.

8. Purchase or sell puts and calls on securities.

9. Participate on a joint or joint and several basis in any securities trading account.

10. Purchase the securities of any other investment company except (1) in the open market where to the best information of the Fund no commission, profit or sales charge to a sponsor or dealer (other than the customary broker’s commission) results from such purchase, or (2) if such purchase is part of a merger, consolidation or acquisition of assets.

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

12. Invest more than 25% of the value of its net assets (at the time of purchase and after giving effect thereto) in the securities of any one issuer.

13. Issue senior securities, except as permitted by the 1940 Act.

In connection with the qualification or registration of the Fund’s shares for sale under the securities laws of certain States, the Fund has agreed, in addition to the investment restrictions set forth above, that it will not (i) purchase material amounts of restricted securities, (ii) invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets in securities of unseasoned issuers (including their predecessors) which have been in operation for less than three years, and equity

securities of issuers which are not readily marketable, (iii) invest any part of its assets in interests in oil, gas or other mineral or exploration or development programs (excluding readily marketable securities), (iv) purchase or retain any securities of another issuer of which those persons affiliated with the Fund or Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Investment Adviser”), owning, individually, more than one-half of one percent of said issuer’s outstanding stock (or securities convertible into stock) own, in the aggregate, more than five percent of said issuer’s outstanding stock (or securities convertible into stock) and (v) invest in warrants (other than warrants acquired by the Fund as a part of a unit or attached to securities at the time of purchase), if as a result such warrants valued at the lower of cost or market, would exceed 5% of the value of the Fund’s assets at the time of purchase provided that not more than 2% of the Fund’s net assets at the time of purchase may be invested in warrants not listed on the Exchange or the American Stock Exchange.

The Fund, the Investment Adviser and Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb LLC, the Fund’s distributor (the “Distributor”), have each adopted a Code of Ethics that permits their personnel to invest in securities, including securities that may be held or purchased by the Fund. The Code of Ethics contains trading restrictions, pre-clearance procedures and reporting procedures designed to detect and prevent potential conflicts of interest.

The Fund has adopted the Investment Adviser’s Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (“Procedures”), which are designed to ensure that the Investment Adviser votes proxies, with respect to securities held by the Fund, in the best interests of the Fund. The Procedures require the Investment Adviser to identify and address conflicts of interest between the Investment Adviser or the Distributor (or any affiliated person of the Investment Adviser, the Distributor or the Fund) and the shareholders of the Fund. If a material conflict of interest exists, the Investment Adviser will determine whether voting in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Procedures is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Fund or take some other appropriate action.

The Investment Adviser, on behalf of the Fund, generally votes in favor of routine corporate housekeeping proposals including the election of directors (where no corporate governance issues are implicated). The Investment Adviser, on behalf of the Fund, generally votes against poison pills and proposals for compensation plans deemed to be excessive. For all other proposals, the Investment Adviser will determine whether a proposal is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Fund and may take into account the following factors, among others: (i) whether the proposal was recommended by management and the Investment Adviser’s opinion of management; (ii) whether the proposal acts to entrench existing management; and (iii) whether the proposal fairly compensates management for past and future performance.

You may obtain a description of the Fund’s proxy voting policies and procedures, and information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30, without charge by visiting the Fund’s web site at http://www.sequoiafund.com and use the “Shareholder Information” link to obtain all proxy information. This information may also be obtained from the Securities and Exchange Commission’s web site at http://www.sec.gov.

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT

Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory Contract (the “Contract”), the Investment Adviser furnishes advice and recommendations with respect to the Fund’s portfolio of securities and investments and provides persons satisfactory to the Fund’s Board of Directors to act as officers and employees of the Fund. Such officers and employees, as well as certain directors of the Fund, may be directors, officers or employees of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates.

In addition, the Investment Adviser, or its affiliates, are obligated under the Contract to pay or reimburse the Fund for the following expenses incurred by the Fund: (i) the compensation of any of the Fund’s directors, officers and employees who are interested persons of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates (other than by reason of being directors, officers or employees of the Fund), (ii) fees and expenses of registering the Fund’s shares under the appropriate federal securities laws and of qualifying its shares under applicable State Blue Sky laws, including expenses attendant upon renewing and increasing such registrations and qualifications, and (iii) expenses of printing and distributing the Fund’s prospectuses and sales and advertising materials. The Fund is responsible and has assumed the obligation for payment of all of its other expenses including (a) brokerage and commission expenses, (b) Federal, State or local taxes, including issue and transfer taxes, incurred by or levied on the Fund, (c) interest charges on borrowings, (d) compensation of any of the Fund’s directors, officers or employees who are not interested persons of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates (other than by reason of being directors, officers or employees of the Fund), (e) charges and expenses of the Fund’s custodian, transfer agent and registrar, (f) costs of proxy solicitations, (g) legal and auditing expenses, and (h) payment of all investment advisory fees (including the fee payable to the Investment Adviser under the Contract).

The Contract is terminable on 60 days’ written notice by vote of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding shares or by vote of majority of the Fund’s entire Board of Directors, or by the Investment Adviser on 60 days’ written notice and automatically terminates in the event of its assignment. The Contract provides that in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Investment Adviser, or of reckless disregard of its obligations thereunder, the Investment Adviser is not liable for any action or failure to act in accordance with its duties thereunder.

The Contract became effective on March 1, 2006. The Contract continues in effect for successive twelve-month periods computed from each January 1, provided that such continuance is specifically approved annually by vote of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities or by the Fund’s Board of Directors, and by a majority of the Fund’s Board of Directors who are not parties to the Contract or interested persons of any such party, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. Continuance of the Contract was approved for an additional annual term at a meeting of the Board of Directors on December 10, 2007 .

For the services provided by the Investment Adviser under the Contract, the Investment Adviser receives from the Fund a management fee equal to 1% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net asset values. The management fee is accrued daily and paid monthly.

However, under the terms of the Contract, the Investment Adviser will reimburse the Fund for the amount, if any, by which the operating expenses of the Fund in any year, including the management fee, exceed 1-1/2% of the average daily net asset values of the Fund during such year up to a maximum of $30,000,000, plus 1% of the average daily net asset values in excess of $30,000,000. Operating expenses for the purposes of the Contract do not include the expenses listed in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund incurred operating expenses of $37,760,300 of which the Investment Adviser reimbursed the Fund $1,036,000. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the Fund incurred operating expenses of $36,752,267 of which the Investment Adviser reimbursed the Fund $1,102,000. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund incurred operating expenses of $37,510,100 of which the Investment Adviser reimbursed the Fund $912,000.

The Investment Adviser may act as an investment adviser to other persons, firms or corporations (including investment companies), and has numerous advisory clients besides the Fund, none of which, however, is a registered investment company.

The Investment Adviser is a registered investment adviser. Until January 1, 2004, the Investment Adviser was the Fund’s regular broker. As of January 1, 2004, Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb LLC, the Distributor, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Investment Adviser, began serving as the Fund’s regular broker.

Mr. Richard T. Cunniff, Mr. Robert D. Goldfarb and Mr. David M. Poppe are controlling shareholders of the Investment Adviser. As of December 31, 2007 , Messrs. Cunniff, Goldfarb and Poppe collectively owned beneficially 16,516 shares of common stock of the Investment Adviser (the only class of voting securities of the Investment Adviser), collectively constituting approximately 40.5 %, and individually constituting approximately 14.3 %, 22.1 % and 4.1%, respectively, of such shares outstanding.

Management Fee

Year Ended	Management Fee		Amount Reimbursed		Net Amount Received

December 31, 2005	$	36,448,117	$	912,000	$	35,536,117
December 31, 2006	$	35,499,566	$	1,102,000	$	34,397,566
December 31, 2007	$	36,575,544	$	1,036,000	$	35,539,544

Portfolio Managers

The Investment Adviser manages the investment portfolio and the general business affairs of the Fund pursuant to the Contract. Robert D. Goldfarb and David M. Poppe jointly oversee the day to day management of the Fund. Mr. Goldfarb is Chairman and CEO of

the Investment Adviser, with which he has been associated for over 36 years, and serves as Director and President of the Fund. Mr. Poppe is President and Director of the Investment Adviser, with which he has been associated for 9 years, and serves as Director and Executive Vice President of the Fund.

The Fund does not directly compensate any of the Fund’s portfolio managers. Mr. Goldfarb’s compensation is paid solely by the Investment Adviser in the form of a fixed salary as well as a percentage of fees received from separately managed accounts and a portion of the advisory fees received from the Fund. In addition, Mr. Goldfarb also receives a percentage of commissions charged to separately managed accounts earned by the Investment Adviser’s wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary. Mr. Poppe’s compensation is paid solely by the Investment Adviser in the form of a fixed salary and bonus. In addition, Mr. Goldfarb and Mr. Poppe also receive a percentage of the net profits of the Investment Adviser based on their share ownership of the Investment Adviser. None of the portfolio managers is compensated based directly on the performance of the Fund. The Fund, whose net assets aggregated $ 3,513,486,548 at December 31, 2007 , is the sole registered investment company managed by the portfolio managers.

Mr. Goldfarb also manages 989 separate accounts for individuals, corporations, and other entities, aggregating $ 3,551,229,000 in value as of December 31, 2007 as well as 36 pooled investment vehicles aggregating $ 607,891,000 . Mr. Poppe also manages 15 separate accounts for individuals, corporations, and other entities, aggregating $ 259,982,000 in value as of December 31, 2007 as well as 1 pooled investment vehicle aggregating $ 41,240,000 . The Investment Adviser is compensated solely based on a percentage of assets managed.

Potential conflicts of interest may arise between a portfolio manager’s management of the investments of the Fund and the management of the investments of the other separately managed accounts. Although the separately managed accounts are managed in a similar manner as the Fund, the separately managed accounts are not subject to the same regulatory restrictions as the Fund. In addition, concentrations of securities and cash may differ between a separately managed account and the Fund due to many factors and circumstances.

The Investment Adviser has adopted policies and procedures designed to ensure that allocation and trading practices are fair to all clients and that no client is disadvantaged over any other client. The Investment Adviser has also adopted a Code of Ethics that is designed to detect and prevent conflicts of interest when investment personnel of the Investment Adviser engage in personal securities transactions.

As of December 31, 2007 , Mr. Goldfarb and his immediate family members beneficially owned shares of the Fund worth in excess of $1 million, and Mr. Poppe beneficially owned shares of the Fund worth between $100,001 and $500,000.

DISTRIBUTOR AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

Effective January 1, 2004, Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Investment Adviser, became the Fund’s distributor (“Distributor”). Previously, the Investment Adviser also served as the Fund’s distributor. Pursuant to the agreement between the Fund and the Distributor (the “Distribution Agreement”), the Distributor serves as the Fund’s distributor and principal underwriter and as such is authorized to solicit orders from the public to purchase shares of the Fund’s common stock. The Distributor acts in this capacity merely as the Fund’s agent, and all subscriptions must be accepted by the Fund as principal.

The Distribution Agreement was approved through December 31, 2008 by a vote, cast in person, of the Directors, including a majority of the Directors who are not “interested persons”, as defined in the 1940 Act, at their meeting held on December 10, 2007 . The Distribution Agreement continues in effect so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (1) by the Directors of the Fund and by vote of a majority of the Directors of the Fund who are not parties to the Distribution Agreement or affiliated persons, as defined in the 1940 Act, of any such party (other than as directors of the Fund), or (2) by vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act).

The Fund paid no underwriting commissions to the Distributor for the December 31, 2005 , December 31, 2006 , and December 31, 2007 fiscal years.

ALLOCATION OF PORTFOLIO BROKERAGE

The Fund and the Investment Adviser generally do not direct the Fund’s portfolio transactions to persons or firms because of research services provided by such person or firm. While neither the Fund nor the Investment Adviser has a present intention of doing so, the Investment Adviser may execute transactions in the Fund’s portfolio securities through persons or firms which supply investment information to the Fund or the Investment Adviser, but only when consistent with the Fund’s policy to seek the most favorable markets, prices and executions in its securities transactions.

The Fund may invest in some instances in securities which are not listed on a national securities exchange but are traded in the over-the-counter market or the third market. It may also execute transactions in listed securities through the third market. Where transactions are executed in the over-the-counter market or the third market, the Investment Adviser seeks to deal with primary market makers and to execute transactions on the Fund’s behalf, except in those circumstances where, in the opinion of management, better prices and executions may be available elsewhere. The Fund does not allocate brokerage business in return for sales of the Fund’s shares.

The following chart sets forth figures pertaining to the Fund’s brokerage during the last three years:

Year Ended	Total Brokerage Commissions Paid		Brokerage Commissions Paid to the Distributor

December 31, 2005	$	348,954	$	338,214
December 31, 2006	$	976,117	$	974,717
December 31, 2007	$	710,970	$	710,970

During the year ended December 31, 2007 , the brokerage commissions paid to the Distributor represented 100 % of the total brokerage commissions paid by the Fund during such year and were paid on account of transactions having an aggregate dollar value equal to 100 % of the aggregate dollar value of all portfolio transactions of the Fund during such year for which commissions were paid.

DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

To prevent the misuse of nonpublic information about the Fund’s portfolio, it is the policy of the Fund and its affiliated persons not to disclose to third parties nonpublic information of a material nature about the Fund’s specific portfolio holdings. Disclosure of nonpublic information about the Fund’s specific portfolio holdings may be made when the Fund has a legitimate business purpose for making the disclosure, such as making disclosures to the Fund’s brokers or other service providers. The Fund requires parties to whom nonpublic information about the Fund’s portfolio holdings has been disclosed to keep such information confidential. The Fund also prohibits such parties from trading on the basis of such information. The Fund receives no compensation for such disclosures. The Fund has procedures for preventing the unauthorized disclosure of material nonpublic information about the Fund’s portfolio holdings. The Fund, its Investment Adviser and Distributor have each adopted a Code of Ethics that prohibits Fund or advisory personnel from using non-public information for their personal benefit.

The Fund publicly files a portfolio report on a quarterly basis, either by way of a shareholder report or a filing on Form N-Q, within 60 days of the end of each fiscal quarter. These reports are available to the public on the Fund website or by calling the Fund’s toll-free telephone number. Any exception to the Fund’s policy must be approved by an officer of the Fund and reported to the Chief Compliance Officer, who reports to the Board. Changes in the disclosure policy of the Fund will be approved by the Board.

NET ASSET VALUE

The net asset value of each share of the Fund’s Common Stock on which the subscription and redemption prices are based is determined once each Fund Business Day as of the close of the Exchange by the value of the securities and other assets owned by the Fund less its liabilities, computed in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Fund. “Fund Business Day” for this purpose means any weekday exclusive of New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and Good Friday.

The net asset value of a share is the quotient obtained by dividing the net assets of the Fund (i.e., the value of the assets of the Fund less its liabilities, including expenses payable or accrued but excluding capital stock and surplus) by the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.

For purposes of this computation, readily marketable portfolio securities listed on the Exchange or on a foreign securities exchange are valued at the last sales price on the Exchange or foreign securities exchange on the business day as of which such value is being determined. If there has been no sale on the Exchange or foreign securities exchange on such day, the security is valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices on such day. If no bid and asked prices are quoted on the Exchange or foreign securities exchange on such day, then the security is valued by such method as the Board of Directors of the Fund shall determine in good faith to reflect its fair market value. Values for securities listed on a foreign exchange are converted into their U.S. Dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the close of the Exchange on that day.

Readily marketable securities not listed on the Exchange or on a foreign securities exchange but listed on other national securities exchanges are valued in like manner. Securities traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) are valued in accordance with NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

Treasury Bills with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at their amortized cost. Under the amortized cost method of valuation, an instrument is valued at cost and the interest payable at maturity upon the instrument is accrued as income, on a daily basis, over the remaining life of the instrument. A Treasury Bill that when purchased had a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days is valued on the basis of market quotations and estimates as described above until the sixtieth day prior to maturity, at which point it is valued at amortized cost. In that event, the “cost” of the security is deemed to be the security’s stated market value on the sixty-first day prior to maturity.

All other assets of the Fund, including restricted and not readily marketable securities, are valued in such manner as the Board of Directors of the Fund in good faith deems appropriate to reflect their fair value.

The net asset value for each share of Common Stock on which the subscription and redemption prices are based is determined as of the close of business on the Exchange next following the receipt by the Fund of the subscription or request for redemption.

For purposes of determining the Fund’s net asset value per share, all assets and liabilities initially expressed in a foreign currency will be converted into U.S. dollars at the mean of the current bid and asked prices of such currency against the U.S. dollar last quoted by a major bank that is a regular participant in the relevant foreign exchange market or on the basis of a pricing service that takes into account the quotes provided by a number of such major banks. If such quotations are not available as of the close of the Exchange, the rate of exchange will be determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Directors.

REDEMPTION OF SHARES

The right of redemption may not be suspended or (other than by reason of a stockholder’s delay in furnishing the required documentation following certain oral redemption requests) the date of payment upon redemption postponed for more than seven days after a stockholder’s redemption request in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Prospectus, except for any period during which the Exchange is closed (other than customary week-end and holiday closings) or during which the Securities and Exchange Commission determines that trading thereon is restricted, or for any period during which an emergency (as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission) exists as a result of which disposal by the Fund of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable or as a result of which it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund fairly to determine the value of its net assets, or for such other period as the Securities and Exchange Commission may by order permit for the protection of security holders of the Fund.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The Fund is a “non-diversified” investment company, which means the Fund is not limited (subject to the investment restrictions set forth on pages 4-5) in the proportion of its assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer. However, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 , the Fund has qualified, and for each fiscal year thereafter the Fund intends to conduct its operations so as to qualify, to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which will relieve the Fund of any liability for Federal income tax on that part of its net ordinary taxable income and net realized long-term capital gain which it distributes to stockholders. Such qualification does not involve supervision of management or investment practices or policies by any government agency. To so qualify, among other requirements, the Fund will limit its investments so that, at the close of each quarter of the taxable year, (i) not more than 25 percent of the market value of the Fund’s total assets will be invested in the securities of a single issuer (“the 25% test”), and (ii) with respect to 50 percent of the market value of its total assets, not more than five percent of the market value of its total assets will be invested in the securities of a single issuer and the Fund will not own more than 10 percent of the outstanding voting securities of a single issuer (“the 50% test”). The Fund’s investments in U.S. Government securities are not subject to these limitations. The Fund will not lose its status as a regulated investment company if the Fund fails to meet the 25% test or the 50% test at the close of a particular quarter due to fluctuations in the market values of its securities. Investors should consult their own counsel for a complete understanding of the requirements the Fund must meet to qualify as a regulated investment company. The following discussion relates solely to the Federal income tax treatment of dividends and distributions by the Fund and assumes the Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company. Investors should consult their own counsel for further details and for the application of state and local tax laws to their particular situation.

Distributions of net ordinary taxable income (including any realized short-term capital gain) by the Fund to its stockholders are taxable to the recipient stockholders as ordinary income and, to the extent determined each year, are eligible, in the case of corporate stockholders, for the 70 percent dividends-received deduction, subject to reduction of the amount eligible for deduction if the aggregate qualifying dividends received by the Fund from domestic corporations in any year are less than 100% of its gross income (excluding long-term capital gains from securities transactions). Under provisions of the current tax law, a corporation’s dividends-

received deduction will be disallowed, however, unless the corporation holds shares in the Fund at least 46 days during the 90-day period beginning 45 days before the date on which the corporation becomes entitled to receive the dividend. Furthermore, the dividends-received deduction will be disallowed to the extent a corporation’s investment in shares of the Fund is financed with indebtedness. In view of the Fund’s investment policies, dividends from domestic corporations may be a large part of the Fund’s ordinary taxable income and, accordingly, a large part of such distributions by the Fund may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction; however, this is largely dependent on the Fund’s investment policy for a particular year and therefore cannot be predicted with certainty.

A portion of the Fund’s distributions may be treated as “qualified dividend income,” taxable to individuals, trusts, and estates at a maximum federal tax rate of 15% (5% for individuals, trusts, and estates in lower tax brackets). A distribution is treated as qualified dividend income to the extent that the Fund receives dividend income from taxable domestic corporations and certain qualified foreign corporations, provided that both the Fund and the individual satisfy certain holding period and other requirements. To the extent the Fund’s distributions are attributable to other sources, such as interest or capital gains, the distributions are not treated as qualified dividend income.

For federal income tax purposes, dividends declared and payable to shareholders of record as of a date in October, November or December of a given year but actually paid during the immediately following January will be treated as if paid by the Fund on December 31 of that calendar year and will be taxable to such shareholders for the year declared and not for the year in which the shareholders actually receive the dividend.

COMMON STOCK

The authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, each having $.10 par value.

The Fund is a Maryland corporation. The Articles of Incorporation of the Fund give the Fund the right to purchase for cash the shares of Common Stock evidenced by any stock certificate presented for transfer at a purchase price equal to the aggregate net asset value per share determined as of the next close of business of the Exchange after such certificate is presented for transfer, computed as in the case of a redemption of shares.

The Fund’s shares have non-cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect 100% of the directors if they choose to do so, and in such event the holders of the remaining less than 50% of the shares voting for such election of directors will not be able to elect any person or persons to the Board of Directors.

As of the close of business on March 31, 2008 , Fidelity Management Trust Company as Trustee of the Walt Disney Company Employees Benefit Plan Trust, 100 Magellan Way, Covington, Kentucky 41015-1999, beneficially owned 1,793,062 shares of the Fund (representing 7.18 % of the outstanding Common Stock of the Fund). No other person beneficially owned five percent or more of the Fund’s Common Stock on such date.

CUSTODIAN, COUNSEL AND INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Bank of New York, MF Custody Administration Department, One Wall Street, 25th Floor, New York, New York 10286, acts as custodian for the Fund’s securities portfolio and cash. Subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors, The Bank of New York may enter into sub-custodial agreements for the holding of the Fund’s foreign securities.

Seward & Kissel LLP, One Battery Park Plaza, New York, New York 10004, serves as counsel to the Fund.

Briggs, Bunting & Dougherty, LLP, Two Penn Center Plaza, Suite 820, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102-1732 has been appointed independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund.
