Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Old Westbury Funds, Inc.

We have examined management’s assertion, included in the accompanying Management Statement Regarding Compliance With Certain Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that Old Westbury Funds, Inc. (comprising, respectively, Old Westbury U.S. Large Cap Fund, Old Westbury Global Small & Mid Cap Fund (Bessemer Managed U.S. Mid Cap sleeve and Tax Managed sleeve), Old Westbury Non-U.S. Large Cap Fund, Old Westbury Fixed Income Fund, Old Westbury Municipal Bond Fund and the coin collection, gold bars, palladium, and platinum commodities of Old Westbury Real Return Fund and OWF Real Return Fund Ltd.) (collectively, the “Funds”) complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Act) as of June 30, 2010. Management is responsible for the Funds’ compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about the Funds’ compliance based on our examinations.

Our examinations were conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Funds’ compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of June 30, 2010, and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales, for the period from April 30, 2010 (the date of the last examination) through June 30, 2010;

 

 

Confirmation of all securities held by Bank of New York Mellon, Federated Investors, SEI Investments Company and Citigroup Inc. and the collectible coin collection, gold bars, palladium and platinum held by Scotia Mocatta (the Funds’ independent sub-custodians, the “Sub-Custodians”) in book entry form;

 

 

Reconciliation of such confirmations to the books and records of the Funds;

 

 

Agreement of pending purchase activity as of June 30, 2010 to documentation supporting corresponding subsequent cash payments and related settlements; and

 

 

Agreement of five security purchases and five security sales since our last report from the books and records of the Funds to cash settlement per Sub-Custodians bank statements.

We believe that our examinations provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examinations do not provide a legal determination on the Funds’ compliance with specified requirements.

In our opinion, management’s assertion that the Funds complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Act as of June 30, 2010 with respect to securities reflected in the investment accounts of the Funds, is fairly stated, in all material respects.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Directors of Old Westbury Funds, Inc. and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
