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 All Cap Core Fund, Old Westbury Fixed Income Fund, Old Westbury Large Cap Strategies Fund, Old Westbury Municipal Bond Fund, and Old Westbury Small & Mid Cap Strategies Fund (Martingale sleeve, Tax Managed sleeve, and U.S. Mid Cap sleeve) (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 May 31, 2017. 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 examination.

 

Our examination was 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 May 31, 2017 and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales, for the period from September 30, 2016 (the date of our last examination) through May 31, 2017:

 

·Confirmation of all securities held by Bank of New York Mellon, Federated Shareholder Services Company, and SEI Investments Company in book entry form;
  
·Reconciliation of such confirmations to the books and records of the Funds and the custodian;
  
·Agreement of pending purchase activity as of May 31, 2017 to documentation supporting corresponding subsequent cash payments and related settlements; and
  
·Agreement of a total of five security purchases and five security sales across all Funds since our last examination from the books and records of the Funds to cash settlement per the bank statements.

 

We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does 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 May 31, 2017, with respect to securities, reflected in the investment accounts of the Funds is fairly stated, in all material respects.
