FUND GOALS, STRATEGIES, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE

Old Westbury Funds, Inc. offers seven portfolios or Funds. The following describes the investment goals, strategies and principal risks of each Fund. There can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its goal. A description of the Funds’ policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Funds’ portfolio securities is available in the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information.

The investment objective or goal of each Fund described in this section may only be changed upon the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund that would be affected by such a change. The investment strategies are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

Old Westbury Large Cap Equity Fund

Goal: The Fund’s goal is to seek above-average long-term capital appreciation.

Strategy: The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of large-sized companies that the Adviser believes have the potential for above-average total return. The Fund seeks to invest primarily in companies that are traded on a recognized national stock exchange and that, in the Adviser’s opinion, are relatively attractive based on factors that have in the past been associated with above-average return prospects. These factors may include valuation, growth, risk profile and many other criteria used to evaluate companies. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, including any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies with market capitalizations, at the time of the initial investment, of at least $5 billion. The Fund will provide notice to shareholders at least 60 days prior to any change to this policy.

The Adviser uses a “core” style of investing, seeking stocks with above-average total return potential based on both growth and valuation, which, in the opinion of the Adviser, will lead to appreciation in stock price. Consistent with the Fund’s fundamental investment objective, policies and restrictions, companies with similar characteristics may be grouped together in the broad categories called sectors. The Adviser may from time-to-time allocate a substantial portion of the Fund’s securities to a small number of sectors (e.g., consumer staples, consumer cyclical, health care and/or finance), or to a single sector. The Fund may also purchase exchange traded funds and engage in futures and options transactions.

The Adviser may sell a portfolio security if it determines that the issuer’s prospects have deteriorated or if it finds an attractive security which it deems to have superior risk and return characteristics to a security held by the Fund.

Old Westbury Mid Cap Equity Fund

Goal: The Fund’s goal is to seek capital appreciation.

Strategy: The Fund seeks to achieve its goal by investing in a diversified portfolio of primarily medium size companies that are traded on a recognized U.S. or Canadian stock exchange. To this end, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, including any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies whose market capitalizations at the time of the initial investment are between $200 million and $8 billion or whose market capitalizations at the time of any subsequent investment do not exceed $15 billion. The Fund will provide notice to shareholders at least 60 days prior to any change to this policy. The Fund may continue to hold investments in equity securities whose market capitalizations exceed the foregoing thresholds subsequent to the Fund’s investment in such securities.

The Fund seeks to invest in U.S. exchange listed and, to a lesser extent, Canadian exchange listed equity securities, including Depositary Receipts, of companies that, in the opinion of the Adviser, have the potential to grow profitably and generate sustainable returns above their cost of capital. The Fund’s investment criteria will include sales growth, competitive positioning, strategy and execution, financially disciplined management, potential for margin expansion, free cash flow generation, productive capital deployment and attractive valuation based on issuer and industry specific criteria. The Fund’s portfolio will generally be diversified among various investment sectors.

The Adviser may sell a portfolio security if it determines that the issuer’s prospects have deteriorated or if it finds an attractive security that it deems to have superior risk and return characteristics to a security held by the Fund.

Old Westbury International Fund

Goal: The Fund’s goal is to seek long-term growth of capital.

Strategy: The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of foreign companies located outside of the U.S., at least 85% of which are listed on recognized foreign securities exchanges. The Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets in equity securities of companies representing at least three foreign countries. The Fund may invest 25% or more of its assets in the securities of a single country. The Fund may invest up to 50% of its assets in securities of companies in emerging market countries. Securities are selected for investment based upon the analysis of various factors by the Adviser or the Fund’s sub-adviser, Bessemer Group (UK) Limited (“BGUK”), including: (i) the economic prospects for a particular geographical region or country; (ii) the prospects of a particular industrial sector within the selected geographical area; and (iii) the prospects of a particular company within the selected industrial sector. The Fund may also engage in futures, options and foreign currency transactions.

The Adviser or BGUK may sell a portfolio security if it determines that the issuer’s prospects have deteriorated or if it finds an attractive security which it deems to have superior risk and return characteristics to a security held by the Fund.

Old Westbury Global Small Cap Fund

Goal: The Fund’s goal is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

Strategy: The Fund invests in a broad, diversified portfolio of common stocks of small-capitalization companies that are traded on a principal U.S. exchange or U.S. over-the-counter market, and stocks of small non-U.S. companies in foreign countries, including emerging market countries. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, including borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of small-capitalization companies. The Fund will provide notice to shareholders at least 60 days prior to any change in this policy.

The Fund determines the universe of small-capitalization companies at the time of investment by first ranking companies listed on the major exchanges of each eligible country/region and then determining the maximum market capitalization of a company that is eligible for purchase from time to time in each country/region. Companies at or below this level (not otherwise excluded based on other characteristics) would then be eligible for investment. As of February 28, 2005, the maximum market capitalization range of eligible companies was approximately $200 million to $2.6 billion. This dollar amount will change over time due to market conditions.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to invest approximately 40-60% of its assets in U.S. companies, approximately 30-50% of its assets in non-U.S. companies in countries with developed markets, and approximately 0-20% of its assets in non-U.S. companies in emerging market countries. The Fund intends to invest its assets primarily in equity securities listed on bona fide securities exchanges or actively traded in over-the-counter markets. These exchanges or over-

the-counter markets may be either within or outside the issuer’s domicile country, and the securities may be listed or traded in the form of International Depositary Receipts or American Depositary Receipts. The Fund may engage in options, futures and foreign currency transactions.

Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc. (“DFA”) and Champlain Investment Partners, LLC (“Champlain”) serve as the investment sub-advisers to this Fund. The Adviser designates the portion of the Fund’s portfolio to be managed by each of DFA and Champlain, each of which is compensated on the basis of that portion

of the Fund’s assets it manages. Under normal circumstances, the Adviser intends to manage directly approximately 10% of the Fund’s assets. The Adviser intends to invest this portion of the Fund’s assets for cash management purposes or to obtain exposure to small capitalization companies in additional markets.

The Adviser or a Sub-adviser may sell a portfolio security if, among other reasons, it determines that the issuer’s prospects have deteriorated or if it finds an attractive security that it deems to have superior risk and return characteristics to a security held by the Fund.

Old Westbury Real Return Fund

Goal: The Fund’s goal is to seek real return over inflation.

Strategy: The Fund intends to invest in a portfolio of instruments that the Adviser believes should benefit in environments of increasing inflation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund primarily invests its assets among the following instruments that, in the judgment of the Adviser, are affected directly or indirectly by the level of inflation: inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) and similar bonds issued by governments outside of the U.S., floating-rate bonds issued by various government and corporate entities, commodities, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), securities and derivatives linked to the price of other assets (such as commodities, stock indexes and real estate), and equity securities of domestic and foreign companies within the natural-resources and agricultural sectors and related industries.

The Adviser attempts to manage the Fund’s “real return” (which equals total return less the estimated cost of inflation) by investing in instruments that the Adviser believes should perform better than other instruments during a period of time when inflation is rising. The Fund also attempts to hedge against inflationary pressures by investing in non-traditional instruments such as derivative instruments and commodities. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may concentrate its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. The Adviser may also engage in options and futures transactions.

The Adviser may sell a portfolio security if, among other reasons, it determines that the issuer’s prospects have deteriorated or if it finds an attractive security that it deems to have superior risk and return characteristics to a security held by the Fund.

Old Westbury Fixed Income Fund

Goal: The Fund’s goal is to seek total return (consisting of current income and capital appreciation).

Strategy: The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of investment grade bonds and notes. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in fixed income securities including corporate, asset-backed, mortgage-backed, and U.S. government securities. The Fund will provide notice to shareholders at least 60 days prior to any change to this policy. The Adviser attempts to manage the Fund’s “total return” (which includes both changes in principal value of the Fund’s securities and income earned) by lengthening or shortening the average maturity of the Fund’s securities according to whether the Adviser expects market interest rates to increase or decline. The Fund may also engage in futures and options transactions.

Old Westbury Municipal Bond Fund

Goal: The Fund’s goal is to provide dividend income that is exempt from regular federal income tax.

Strategy: The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade municipal securities, which includes tax-free debt securities of states, territories, and possessions of the U.S. and political subdivisions and taxing authorities of these entities. At least 80% of the Fund’s income from investments in municipal securities will be exempt from regular federal income tax. Interest from the Fund’s investments may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”). This policy is fundamental and may not be changed without shareholder approval. The Fund will invest, as a nonfundamental policy, at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal bonds. The Fund will provide notice to shareholders at least 60 days prior to any change to this nonfundamental policy.

Principal Risks of the Funds

Set forth below are risks specific to an investment in a particular Fund or Funds. For more information on these risks, see “Specific Risks of Investing in the Funds.”

In addition, all Funds are subject to the risk that a Fund’s share price may decline and an investor could lose money. Therefore, it is possible to lose money investing in any of the Old Westbury Funds. Also, there is no assurance that a Fund will achieve its investment objective.

The shares offered by this prospectus are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

Interest Rate Risks(5)

Tax Risks(6)

Prepayment Risks(7)

Futures and Options Risks(8)

Commodities Risk(9)

Currency Risks(10)

Portfolio Turnover Risk(11)

(1)

The value of equity securities rise and fall.

(2)

The smaller the capitalization of a company, generally, the less liquid its stock and the more volatile its price. Companies with smaller market capitalizations also tend to have unproven track records and are more likely to fail than companies with larger market capitalizations.

(3)

Foreign economic, political, tax or regulatory conditions may be less favorable than those of the United States.

(4)

Investments in developing or emerging market securities are subject to higher risks than those in developed market countries because there is greater uncertainty in less established markets and economies.

(5)

Prices of fixed income securities rise and fall in response to interest rate changes. Interest rate changes have a greater effect on the price of fixed income securities with longer durations.

(6)

Any failure of municipal securities invested in by a Fund to meet certain applicable legal requirements, or any proposed or actual changes in the federal or a state’s tax law, could cause Fund distributions attributable to interest on such securities to be taxable.

(7)

When interest rates decline, unscheduled prepayments of principal could accelerate and require the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of the prepayments at lower interest rates.

(8)

The use of futures and options as hedging devices will not eliminate risk even if they work as intended. In addition, hedging strategies are not always successful, and could result in increased expenses to a Fund. Futures contracts not purchased for hedging purposes are also subject to the same market risks as the underlying securities markets.

(9)

Commodities are subject to certain risk factors including changes in overall market movements, interest rates and/or specific industry related to the commodity.

(10)

Exchange rates for currencies fluctuate daily.

(11)

An annual portfolio turnover rate of 100% or more generally involves greater transaction expenses and may result in the realization of larger amounts of capital gains, which may be taxable when distributed to shareholders.

Performance Information

The following pages include performance bar charts and total return information for each Fund, except the Global Small Cap Fund and Real Return Fund, which have less than a calendar year’s performance.

Performance Bar Chart and Total Return—Large Cap Equity Fund

The bar chart and table shown below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Old Westbury Large Cap Equity Fund by showing changes in its performance from year to year and by comparing the Fund’s performance to a broad-based securities index. The Standard & Poors (“S&P”) 500 Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of domestic stocks in all major industries. While past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily predict future performance, this information provides you with historical performance information so that you can analyze whether the Fund’s investment risks are balanced by its potential returns. Fund performance reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements and reinvestment of distributions, if any. Without waivers/reimbursements, performance would be lower. Prior to February 20, 2004, the Fund was named the Core Equities Fund and operated under a different investment strategy.

² The Fund changed its benchmark from the Russell 1000 Index to the S&P MidCap 400 Index on July 1, 2004 because the S&P MidCap 400 Index now better reflects the new composition of the Fund’s portfolio holdings due to the change in the Fund’s non-fundamental investment policy of now investing at least 80% of net assets in mid-cap equity securities.

³ The Mid Cap Spliced Index reflects performance of the Russell 2500 Index since inception through June 30, 2000, the performance of MSCI USA ex Tech Index from July 1, 2000 to June 30, 2003, and performance of the Russell 1000 Index from July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2004 and the performance of the S&P Mid Cap 400 from July 1, 2004 to December 31, 2005.

Example

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


	Large Cap Equity Fund		Mid Cap Equity Fund		Inter- national Fund		Global Small Cap Fund		Real Return Fund		Fixed Income Fund		Municipal Bond Fund
1 Year	$	116	$	113	$	127	$	126	$	118	$	102	$	101

PRINCIPAL SECURITIES IN WHICH THE FUNDS INVEST

Equity Securities

Equity securities represent a share of an issuer’s earnings and assets, after the issuer pays its liabilities. Funds purchasing equity securities cannot predict the income they will receive from equity securities because issuers generally have discretion as to the payment of any dividends or distributions. However, equity securities offer greater potential for appreciation than many other types of securities, because their value increases directly with the value of the issuer’s business.

The following describes the principal type of equity securities in which a Fund may invest, where that security has been referred to in the Fund’s strategy section.

Common Stocks

Common stocks are the most prevalent type of equity security. Common stocks receive the issuer’s earnings after the issuer pays its creditors and any preferred stockholders. As a result, changes in an issuer’s earnings directly influence the value of its common stock.

Fixed Income Securities

Fixed income securities pay interest, dividends or distributions at a specified rate. The rate may be a fixed percentage of the principal or adjusted periodically. In addition, the issuer of a fixed income security must repay the principal amount of the security, normally within a specified time. Fixed income securities provide more regular income than equity securities. However, the returns on fixed income securities are limited and normally do not increase with the issuer’s earnings. This limits the potential appreciation of fixed income securities as compared to equity securities.

A security’s yield measures the annual income earned on a security as a percentage of its price. A security’s yield will increase or decrease depending upon whether it costs less (a discount) or more (a premium) than the principal amount. Securities with higher risks generally have higher yields.

The following describes the principal types of fixed income securities in which a Fund may invest, where that security has been referred to in the Fund’s strategy section.

Treasury Securities

Treasury securities are direct obligations of the federal government of the United States. Treasury securities are generally regarded as having the lowest credit risks.

Agency Securities

Agency securities are issued or guaranteed by a federal agency or other government sponsored entity (“GSE”) acting under federal authority. The United States supports some GSEs with its full faith and credit. Other GSEs receive support through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. A few GSEs have no explicit financial support, but are regarded as having implied support because the federal government sponsors their activities. Agency securities are generally regarded as having low credit risks, but not as low as treasury securities.

A Fund treats mortgage backed securities guaranteed by GSEs as agency securities. Although a GSE guarantee protects against credit risks, it does not reduce the interest rate and prepayment risks of these mortgage backed securities.

Corporate Debt Securities

Corporate debt securities are fixed income securities issued by businesses. Notes, bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most prevalent types of

corporate debt securities. A Fund may also purchase interests in bank loans to companies. The credit risks of corporate debt securities vary widely among issuers.

In addition, the credit risk of an issuer’s debt security may vary based on its priority for repayment. For example, higher ranking (senior) debt securities have a higher priority than lower ranking (subordinated) securities. This means that the issuer might not make payments on subordinated securities while continuing to make payments on senior securities. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy, holders of senior securities may receive amounts otherwise payable to the holders of subordinated securities. Some subordinated securities, such as trust preferred and capital securities notes, also permit the issuer to defer payments under certain circumstances. For example, insurance companies issue securities known as surplus notes that permit the insurance company to defer any payment that would reduce its capital below regulatory requirements.

Commercial Paper

Commercial paper is an issuer’s obligation with a maturity of less than nine months. Companies typically issue commercial paper to pay for current expenditures. Most issuers constantly reissue their commercial paper and use the proceeds (or bank loans) to repay maturing paper. If the issuer cannot continue to obtain liquidity in this fashion, its commercial paper may default. The short maturity of commercial paper reduces both the market and credit risks as compared to other debt securities of the same issuer.

Demand Instruments

Demand instruments are corporate debt securities that the issuer must repay upon demand. Other demand instruments require a third party, such as a dealer or bank, to repurchase the security for its face value upon demand. A Fund treats demand instruments as short-term securities, even though their stated maturity may extend beyond one year.

Mortgage-Backed Securities

Mortgage-backed securities represent interests in pools of mortgages. The mortgages that comprise a pool normally have similar interest rates, maturities and other terms. Mortgages may have fixed or adjustable interest rates. Interests in pools of adjustable rate mortgages are known as ARMs.

Mortgage-backed securities come in a variety of forms. Many have extremely complicated terms. The simplest form of mortgage-backed securities are pass-through certificates. An issuer of pass-through certificates gathers monthly payments from an underlying pool of mortgages. Then, the issuer deducts its fees

and expenses and passes the balance of the payments onto the certificate holders once a month. Holders of pass-through certificates receive a pro rata share of all payments from the underlying mortgages. As a result, the holders assume all the risks of the underlying mortgages.

Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMOs”)

CMOs, including interests in real estate mortgage investment conduits (“REMICs”), allocate payments and prepayments from an underlying pass-through certificate among holders of different classes of mortgage-backed securities. This creates different prepayment and interest rate risks for each CMO class.

Floaters and Inverse Floaters

Floaters and inverse floaters allocate interest payments between two classes of CMOs. One class (“Floaters”) receives a share of interest payments based upon a market index such as LIBOR. The other class (“Inverse Floaters”) receives any remaining interest payments from the underlying mortgages. Floater classes receive more interest (and Inverse Floater classes receive correspondingly less interest) as interest rates rise. This shifts prepayment and interest rate risks from the Floater to the Inverse Floater class, reducing the price volatility of the Floater class and increasing the price volatility of the Inverse Floater class.

Bank Instruments

Bank instruments are unsecured interest bearing deposits with banks. Bank instruments include bank accounts, time deposits, certificates of deposit and banker’s acceptances. Yankee instruments are denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by U.S. branches of foreign banks. Eurodollar instruments are denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by non-U.S. branches of U.S. or foreign banks.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts (Forward Contracts) may be used to minimize the risks associated with changes in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. They are used to lock in the U.S. dollar price of a foreign security. In addition, the Real Return Fund may use Forward Contracts to provide exposure to the foreign currency market. A Forward Contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed price at a future date.

currency. The success of this hedging strategy is highly uncertain because it is difficult to predict the values of foreign currencies and precisely match Forward Contract amounts. Conversely, if the Adviser believes that the U.S. dollar will decline against a foreign currency, a Forward Contract may be used to buy that foreign currency for a fixed dollar amount, otherwise known as cross-hedging. The Real Return Fund may use Forward Contracts for hedging purposes as well as a broad based investment in the foreign currency markets.

In these transactions, a Fund will segregate assets with a market value equal to the amount of the foreign currency purchased. Therefore, the Fund will always have cash, cash equivalents or high quality debt securities available to cover Forward Contracts or to limit any potential risk. The segregated assets will be priced daily.

Forward Contracts may limit potential gain from a positive change in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. Unanticipated changes in currency prices may result in poorer overall performance for the Fund than if it had not engaged in such contracts.

Tax Exempt Securities

Tax exempt securities are fixed income securities that pay interest that is not subject to regular federal income taxes, but may be subject to the federal AMT. Typically, states, counties, cities and other political subdivisions and authorities issue tax exempt securities. The market categorizes tax exempt securities by their source of repayment.

The following describes the principal types of fixed income securities in which a Fund may invest, where that security has been referred to in the Fund’s strategy section.

General Obligation Bonds

General obligation bonds are supported by the issuer’s power to exact property or other taxes. The issuer must impose and collect taxes sufficient to pay principal and interest on the bonds. However, the issuer’s authority to impose additional taxes may be limited by its charter or state law.

Special Revenue Bonds

Special revenue bonds are payable solely from specific revenues received by the issuer such as specific taxes, assessments, tolls, or fees. Bondholders may not collect from the municipality’s general taxes or revenues. For example, a municipality may issue bonds to build a toll road and pledge the tolls to repay

the bonds. Therefore, a shortfall in the tolls normally would result in a default on the bonds.

Private Activity Bonds

Private activity bonds are special revenue bonds used to finance private entities. For example, a municipality may issue bonds to finance a new factory to improve its local economy. The municipality would lend the proceeds from its bonds to the company using the factory, and the company would agree to make loan payments sufficient to repay the bonds. The bonds would be payable solely from the company’s loan payments, not from any other revenues of the municipality. Therefore, any default on the loan normally would result in a default on the bonds.

Although Fund distributions attributable to interest on private activity bonds generally are not subject to regular federal income tax, such distributions generally are subject to the federal AMT.

Tax Increment Financing Bonds

Tax increment financing (“TIF”) bonds are payable from increases in taxes or other revenues attributable to projects financed by the bonds. For example, a municipality may issue TIF bonds to redevelop a commercial area. The TIF bonds would be payable solely from any increase in sales taxes collected from merchants in the area. The bonds could default if merchants’ sales, and related tax collections, failed to increase as anticipated.

Municipal Notes

Municipal notes are short-term tax exempt securities. Many municipalities issue such notes to fund their current operations before collecting taxes or other municipal revenues. Municipalities may also issue notes to fund capital projects prior to issuing long-term bonds. The issuers typically repay the notes at the end of their fiscal year, either with taxes, other revenues or proceeds from newly issued notes or bonds.

Variable Rate Demand Instruments

Variable rate demand instruments are tax exempt securities that require the issuer or a third party, such as a dealer or bank, to repurchase the security for its face value upon demand. The securities also pay interest at a variable rate intended to cause the securities to trade at their face value. A Fund treats demand instruments as short-term securities, because their variable interest rate adjusts in response to changes in market rates, even though their stated maturity may extend beyond thirteen months.

Municipal Leases

Municipalities may enter into leases for equipment or facilities. In order to comply with state public financing laws, these leases are typically subject to annual appropriation. In other words, a municipality may end a lease, without penalty, by not providing for the lease payments in its annual budget. After the lease ends, the lessor can resell the equipment or facility but may lose money on the sale.

A Fund may invest in securities supported by pools of municipal leases. The most common type of lease-backed securities are certificates of participation (“COPs”). However, the Fund may also invest directly in individual leases.

Foreign Securities

Foreign securities in which a Fund may invest, including the Mid Cap Equity Fund (which may invest more than 10% of its total assets in securities listed on Canadian stock exchanges) are securities of issuers based outside the United States. The Funds consider an issuer to be based outside the United States if:

•

it is organized under the laws of, or has a principal office located in, another country;

•

the principal trading market for its securities is in another country; or

•

it (or its subsidiaries) derived in its most current fiscal year at least 50% of its total assets, capitalization, gross revenue or profit from goods produced, services performed or sales made in another country.

Foreign securities are primarily denominated in foreign currencies. Along with the risks normally associated with domestic securities of the same type, foreign securities are subject to currency risks and risks of foreign investing.

Depositary Receipts

Depositary receipts represent interests in underlying securities issued by a foreign company. Depositary receipts are not traded in the same market as the underlying security. American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) are traded in the United States. ADRs provide a way for a Fund to gain exposure to foreign-based companies in the United States rather than purchasing shares in overseas markets. ADRs are also traded in U.S. dollars, eliminating the need for foreign exchange transactions. The foreign securities underlying European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”), and International Depositary Receipts (“IDRs”) are traded globally or outside the United States. Depositary receipts involve many of the same risks of investing directly in foreign securities, including currency risks and risks of foreign investing.

Derivative Contracts

Derivative contracts are financial instruments that require payments based upon changes in the values of designated (or underlying) securities, currencies, commodities, financial indices or other assets. Some derivative contracts (such as futures, forwards and options) require payments relating to a future trade involving the underlying asset. Other derivative contracts (such as swaps) require payments relating to the income or returns from the underlying asset. The other party to a derivative contract is referred to as a counterparty.

Many derivative contracts are traded on securities or commodities exchanges. In this case, the exchange sets all the terms of the contract except for the price. Investors make payments due under their contracts through the exchange. Most exchanges require investors to maintain margin accounts through their brokers to cover their potential obligations to the exchange. Parties to the contract make (or collect) daily payments to the margin accounts to reflect losses (or gains) in the value of their contracts. This protects investors against potential defaults by the counterparty. Trading contracts on an exchange also allows investors to close out their contracts by entering into offsetting contracts.

For example, a Fund could close out an open contract to buy an asset at a future date by entering into an offsetting contract to sell the same asset on the same date. If the offsetting sale price is more than the original purchase price, the Fund realizes a gain; if it is less, the Fund realizes a loss. Exchanges may limit the amount of open contracts permitted at any one time. Such limits may prevent the Fund from closing out a position. If this happens, the Fund will be required to keep the contract open (even if it is losing money on the contract) and to make any payments required under the contract (even if it has to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices to do so). Inability to close out a contract could also harm the Fund by preventing it from disposing of or trading any assets it has been using to secure its obligations under the contract.

A Fund may also trade derivative contracts over-the-counter (“OTC”) in transactions negotiated directly between the Fund and a counterparty. OTC contracts do not necessarily have standard terms, so they cannot be directly offset with other OTC contracts. In addition, OTC contracts with more specialized terms may be more difficult to price than exchange traded contracts.

Depending upon how a Fund uses derivative contracts and the relationships between the market value of a derivative contract and the underlying asset, derivative contracts may increase or decrease a Fund’s exposure to interest rate and currency risks and may also expose a Fund to liquidity and leverage risks. OTC contracts also expose a Fund to credit risks in the event that a counterparty defaults on the contract.

The Funds may trade in the following types of derivative contracts.

Futures Contracts

Futures contracts are obligations to provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of an underlying asset at a specified price, date and time. Entering into a contract to buy an underlying asset is commonly referred to as buying a contract or holding a long position in the asset. Entering into a contract to sell an underlying asset is commonly referred to as selling a contract or holding a short position in the asset. Futures contracts are considered to be commodity contracts. Futures contracts traded OTC are frequently referred to as forward contracts.

The Funds may buy and sell the following types of futures contracts: financial futures, commodity or commodity index futures and stock index futures. The International Fund and Global Small Cap Fund may also buy and sell foreign currency futures contracts.

Linked or Hybrid Instruments

Linked or “hybrid” instruments, such as index-linked, equity-linked, credit-linked, commodity-linked and currency-linked securities, are types of derivative securities. Index-linked, equity-linked, credit-linked and commodity-linked securities can be either equity or debt securities that call for interest payments and/or payment at maturity in different terms than the typical note where the borrower agrees to make fixed interest payments and to pay a fixed sum at maturity. Principal and/or interest payments depend on the performance of an underlying stock, index, or a weighted index of commodity futures such as crude oil, gasoline and natural gas.

Like all derivatives, a Fund’s investments in “linked” securities can lead to large losses because of unexpected movements in the underlying financial asset, index, currency or other investment. The ability of the Fund to utilize linked-securities successfully will depend on its ability to correctly predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured.

Options

Options are rights to buy or sell an underlying asset for a specified price (the exercise price) during, or at the end of, a specified period. A call option gives the holder (buyer) the right to buy the underlying asset from the seller (writer) of the option. A put option gives the holder the right to sell the underlying asset to the writer of the option. The writer of the option receives a payment, or premium, from the buyer, which the writer keeps regardless of whether the buyer uses (or exercises) the option.

A Fund may:

•

Buy call options on individual securities and futures contracts in anticipation of an increase in the value of the underlying asset;

•

Buy put options on individual securities and futures contracts in anticipation of a decrease in the value of the underlying asset; and

•

Buy or write options to close out existing options positions.

A Fund may also write call options on individual securities and futures contracts to generate income from premiums and in anticipation of a decrease or only limited increase in the value of the underlying asset. If a call written by a Fund is exercised, a Fund foregoes any possible profit from an increase in the market price of the underlying asset over the exercise price plus the premium received.

A Fund may also write put options on individual securities and futures contracts to generate income from premiums and in anticipation of an increase or only limited decrease in the value of the underlying asset. In writing puts, there is a risk that the Fund may be required to take delivery of the underlying asset when its current market price is lower than the exercise price.

When a Fund writes options on futures contracts, it will be subject to margin requirements similar to those applied to futures contracts.

Writing Covered Call and Put Options on Securities

A Fund may write covered call and put options to generate income and thereby protect against price movements in the Fund’s portfolio securities. As writer of a call option, the Fund has the obligation, upon exercise of the option during the option period, to deliver the underlying security upon payment of the exercise price. The Fund may only sell call options either on securities held in its portfolio or on securities that it has the right to obtain without payment of further consideration (or has segregated cash or U.S. government securities in the amount of any additional consideration). As a writer of a put option, the Fund has the obligation to purchase a security from the purchaser of the option upon the exercise of the option. In the case of put options, the Fund will segregate cash or U.S. Treasury obligations with a value equal to or greater than the exercise price of the underlying securities.

Hedging

Hedging transactions are intended to reduce specific risks. For example, to protect the Fund against circumstances that would normally cause the Fund’s portfolio securities to decline in value, the Fund may buy or sell a derivative

contract that would normally increase in value under the same circumstances. A Fund may also attempt to hedge by using combinations of different derivatives contracts, or derivatives contracts and securities. A Fund’s ability to hedge may be limited by the costs of the derivatives contracts. A Fund may attempt to lower the cost of hedging by entering into transactions that provide only limited protection, including transactions that (1) hedge only a portion of its portfolio, (2) use derivatives contracts that cover a narrow range of circumstances or (3) involve the sale of derivatives contracts with different terms. Consequently, hedging transactions may not eliminate risk even if they work as intended. In addition, hedging strategies are not always successful and could result in increased expenses and losses to a Fund.

Inflation-Protected Securities

Unlike traditional debt securities that make fixed or variable principal and interest payments, inflation-protected debt securities are structured to provide protection against the negative effects of inflation. The value of the debt securities’ principal is adjusted to track changes in an official inflation measure. For example, the U.S. Treasury currently uses the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers as a measure of inflation for Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”). Other inflation-protected securities may not carry a similar guarantee by their issuer. A Fund may buy TIPS that are designed to provide an investment vehicle that is not vulnerable to inflation. The interest rate paid by TIPS is fixed. The principal value rises or falls semi-annually based on changes in the published Consumer Price Index. If inflation occurs, the principal and interest payments on TIPS are adjusted to protect investors from inflationary loss. If deflation occurs, the principal and interest payments will be adjusted downward, although the principal will not fall below its face amount at maturity.

Investments in Other Investment Companies

The Funds may invest their assets in securities of other investment companies as an efficient means of carrying out their investment policies. Investment companies incur certain expenses such as management fees, and, therefore, any investment by the Funds in shares of other investment companies may be subject to such duplicate expenses.

The Funds may also invest in various exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), subject to the Fund’s investment objective, policies and strategies. ETFs are baskets of securities that, like stocks, trade on exchanges such as the American Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. ETFs are priced continuously and

trade throughout the day. ETFs may track a securities index, a particular market sector or a particular segment of a securities index or market sector. Some types of ETFs are:

•

“SPDRs” (S&P’s Depositary Receipts), which are securities that represent ownership in a long-term unit investment trust that holds a portfolio of common stocks designed to track the performance of an S&P Index. Holders of SPDRs are entitled to receive proportionate quarterly cash distributions corresponding to the dividends that accrue to the stocks in the S&P Index’s underlying investment portfolio, less any trust expenses.

•

“QQQQ” (Qubes), are securities that represent ownership in the stocks of the Nasdaq 100 Index, a modified capitalization weighted index that includes the stocks of 100 of the largest and most actively traded non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Qubes use a unit investment trust structure that allows immediate reinvestment of dividends.

•

“iShares” which are a family of over seventy ETFs that are designed to track the performance of specific indexes.

•

“HOLDRs” (Holding Company Depositary Receipts), which are trust-issued receipts that represent beneficial ownership in a specified group of 20 or more stocks. Unlike other ETFs, a Fund can hold the group of stocks as one asset or unbundle the stocks and trade them separately, according to the Fund’s investment strategies.

REITs

A real estate investment trust (“REIT”) is a pool of investors’ funds for investment primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests. A REIT is not subject to federal income tax on income distributed to shareholders if it complies with several requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code relating to its organization, ownership, assets, and income and a requirement that it distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of its taxable income (other than net capital gains) for each taxable year. REITs can generally be classified as Equity REITs, Mortgage REITs and Hybrid REITs. Equity REITs invest the majority of their assets directly in real property and derive their income primarily from rents. Equity REITs can also realize capital gains by selling properties that have appreciated in value. Mortgage REITs invest the majority of their assets in real estate mortgages and derive their income primarily from interest payments. Hybrid REITs combine the characteristics of both Equity REITs and Mortgage REITs.

OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS

Temporary Defensive Investments

To minimize potential losses and maintain liquidity necessary to meet shareholder redemptions during adverse market conditions, each of the Old Westbury Funds may temporarily depart from its principal investment strategy by investing up to 100% of Fund assets in cash or short-term, high quality money market instruments (e.g. commercial paper, repurchase agreements, etc.). This may cause a Fund to temporarily forego greater investment returns for the safety of principal and a Fund may therefore not achieve its investment objective.

Portfolio Turnover

The Funds do not intend to invest for the purpose of seeking short-term profits. Securities will be sold without regard to the length of time they have been held when the Funds’ Adviser believes it is appropriate to do so in light of each Fund’s investment objective. In the case of the Real Return Fund, the portfolio turnover rate may exceed 100%. A higher portfolio turnover rate involves greater transaction expenses which must be borne directly by a Fund (and thus, indirectly by its shareholders) and affects Fund performance. In addition, a high rate of portfolio turnover may result in the realization of larger amounts of short-term capital gain by a Fund which, when distributed to that Fund’s shareholders, are taxable to them potentially at ordinary-income tax rates.

SPECIFIC RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUNDS

The following is a description of the principal risks of investing in the Funds as specified in the Principal Risks chart above. In addition to these principal risks, there can be no assurance that the Funds will achieve their investment objective (or goal).

Stock Market Risks

The Large Cap Equity Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund, International Fund, Global Small Cap Fund and Real Return Fund are subject to fluctuations in the stock markets, which have periods of increasing and decreasing values. Stocks have greater volatility than debt securities. While greater volatility increases risks, it offers the potential for greater reward.

Risks Relating to Small Company Securities

Stock market risk is also related to the size of the company issuing stock. Companies may be categorized as having a small, medium, or large capitalization

(market value). The potential risks are higher with small- and medium- capitalization companies and lower with large-capitalization companies. Therefore, you should expect investments in the Mid Cap Equity Fund and Global Small Cap Fund and, to a lesser extent, the International Fund, to be more volatile than broad stock market indices such as the S&P 500 or funds that invest exclusively in large-capitalization companies.

Risks of Foreign Investing

Foreign securities pose additional risks over U.S.-based securities for a number of reasons. Because the International Fund, Global Small Cap Fund and Real Return Fund invest primarily in foreign securities and the Mid Cap Equity Fund can invest in ADRs and Canadian securities, these factors may adversely affect the value of an investment in these Funds. Foreign economic, governmental, and political systems may be less favorable than those of the U.S. Foreign governments may exercise greater control over their economies, industries, and citizens’ rights. Specific risk factors related to foreign securities include: inflation, structure and regulation of financial markets, liquidity and volatility of investments, currency exchange rates and regulations and accounting standards. Foreign companies may also be subject to significantly higher levels of taxation than U.S. companies, including potentially confiscatory levels of taxation, thereby reducing their earnings potential, and amounts realized on foreign securities may be subject to high levels of foreign taxation. In addition, these Funds may incur higher costs and expenses when making foreign investments, which will affect the Funds’ total return.

Foreign securities may be denominated in foreign currencies. Therefore, the value of these Funds’ assets and income in U.S. dollars may be affected by changes in exchange rates and regulations, since exchange rates for foreign currencies change daily. The combination of currency risk and market risk tends to make securities traded in foreign markets more volatile than securities traded exclusively in the U.S. Although these Funds value their assets daily in U.S. dollars, they will not convert their holdings of foreign currencies to U.S. dollars daily. Therefore, the Funds may be exposed to currency risks over an extended period of time.

Currency Risks

Exchange rates for currencies fluctuate daily. The combination of currency risk and market risk tends to make securities traded in foreign markets more volatile than securities traded exclusively in the U.S.

The Adviser and Sub Advisers attempt to manage currency risk by limiting the amount the Funds invest in securities denominated in a particular currency. However, diversification will not protect the Funds against a general increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies.

Emerging Market Securities Risks

The International Fund and Global Small Cap Fund (and to a lesser degree, the Real Return Fund) may invest in developing or emerging market securities. The risks of foreign investments are typically increased in less developed countries, which are sometimes referred to as emerging markets; because there is greater uncertainty in less established markets and economies. These risks include political, social or economic systems, smaller securities markets, lower trading volume, and substantial rates of inflation. To the extent a Fund is invested in emerging market securities it will be subject to higher risk than those investing in securities of developed market countries.

Interest Rate Risks

Risks of fixed income securities will affect the Funds.

Prices of fixed-rate debt securities generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. The interest payments on fixed-rate debt securities do not change when interest rates change. Therefore, since the price of these securities can be expected to decrease when interest rates increase, the value of investments in a Fund may go down.

Fixed income securities may be subject to maturity risks. Longer-term debt securities will experience greater price volatility than debt securities with shorter maturities. You can expect the net asset value of a Fund to fluctuate accordingly.

Fixed income securities also have credit risks. The credit quality of a debt security is based upon the issuer’s ability to repay the security. If payments on a debt security are not made when due, that may cause the net asset value of a Fund holding the security to go down.

Fixed income securities may also be subject to call risk. If interest rates decline, an issuer may repay (or “call”) a debt security held by a Fund prior to its maturity. If this occurs, the Adviser may have to reinvest the proceeds in debt securities paying lower interest rates. If this happens, a Fund may have a lower yield.

In addition, the Fixed Income Fund and Real Return Fund may invest in Floaters which are a form of “derivative” debt security, whose yield may be subject to extreme fluctuation in the event of interest rate movements.

Municipal Securities Risks

An investment in the Municipal Bond Fund will be affected by municipal securities risks. Local political and economic factors may adversely affect the value

and liquidity of municipal securities held by the Fund. The value of municipal securities also may be affected more by supply and demand factors or the creditworthiness of the issuer than by market interest rates. Repayment of municipal securities depends on the ability of the issuer or project backing such securities to generate taxes or revenues. There is a risk that the interest on an otherwise tax-exempt municipal security may be subject to federal income tax.

Prepayment and Extension Risks

An investment in the Fixed Income Fund will be subject to asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities risks which includes prepayment when interest rates fall because many borrowers refinance mortgages to take advantage of more favorable rates. Prepayments on mortgage-backed securities are also affected by other factors, such as the volume of home sales. The Fund’s yield will be reduced if cash from prepaid securities is reinvested in securities with lower interest rates. The risk of prepayment may also decrease the value of mortgage-backed securities. When interest rates rise, such securities are subject to the risk that an expected level of prepayments will not occur, resulting in a longer effective maturity of the security. As a result of this extension risk, the value of such securities may decline.

Asset-backed securities may have a higher level of default and recovery risk than mortgage-backed securities. However, both of these types of securities may decline in value because of mortgage foreclosures or defaults on the underlying obligations.

Investment Ratings

Some securities in which the Municipal Bond Fund, Fixed Income Fund and Real Return Fund invest will be rated in the lowest investment grade category (e.g. BBB or Baa). Securities rated BBB by Standard and Poor’s or Baa by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. have speculative characteristics. Unrated securities will be determined by the Adviser to be of like quality and may have greater risk (but a potentially higher yield) than comparable rated securities. If a security is downgraded, the Adviser will re-evaluate the security and determine whether or not the security is an acceptable investment.

Futures and Options Risks

The Funds may use financial and stock index futures and options to protect against adverse changes to the value of portfolio securities due to anticipated changes in interest rates or market conditions. The Funds may also use such investments as a broad based investment in the stock market. Similarly, the International Fund and Global Small Cap Fund may also use foreign currency futures and options to protect against adverse changes to the value of portfolio

securities due to anticipated changes in foreign currency rates. The successful use of futures, options and other derivative instruments is based on the Adviser’s ability to correctly anticipate market movements. When the direction of the prices of a Fund’s securities does not correlate with the changes in the value of these transactions, or when the trading market for derivatives becomes illiquid, a Fund could lose money.

Commodities Risks

The Real Return Fund invests in commodities and commodity-linked derivatives (collectively, “Commodities”). Commodities may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of Commodities may be affected by, among other things, changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments.

Real Estate Risks

The Real Return Fund may invest in REITs. Investments in REITs are subject to varying degrees of risk generally incident to the ownership of real property as well as to additional risks, such as poor performance by the manager of the REIT, adverse changes to the tax laws or failure by the REIT to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income under the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, some REITs have limited diversification because they invest in a limited number of properties, a narrow geographic area, or a single type of property. Also, the organizational documents of a REIT may contain provisions that make changes in control of the REIT difficult and time-consuming.

Risks of ETFs

ETFs can experience many of the same risks associated with individual stocks. ETFs are subject to market risk where the market as a whole, or that specific sector, may decline. ETFs that invest in volatile stock sectors, such as foreign issuers, smaller companies, or technology, are subject to the additional risks to which those sectors are subject. ETFs may trade at a discount to the aggregate value of the underlying securities. The underlying securities in an ETF may not follow the price movements of an entire industry or sector. Trading in an ETF may be halted if the trading in one or more of the ETF’s underlying securities is halted. Although expense ratios for ETFs are generally low, frequent trading of ETFs by a Fund can generate brokerage expenses.

WHAT DO SHARES COST?

You can buy shares of a Fund at net asset value (“NAV”), without a sales charge, on any day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for business. NAV is determined at the end of regular trading (normally 4 p.m., Eastern time) each day the NYSE is open. Your purchase order must be received in proper form (as described below) by 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) in order to receive that day’s NAV.

Each Fund’s NAV is computed by dividing the value of the Fund’s net assets (i.e., the value of a Fund’s securities and other assets less its liabilities, including expenses payable or accrued but excluding capital stock and surplus) by the total number of shares outstanding. Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. All other investment assets of the Funds are valued in such manner as the Board of Directors, in good faith, deems appropriate to reflect their fair value. If events occur that materially affect the value of the security between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the normal trading session of the NYSE, the Funds may value the security at its fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Directors. A market quotation is considered not readily available if, among other circumstances, the most recent reported price is deemed unreliable. A market quotation is considered not readily available if, among other circumstances, the most recent reported price is deemed unreliable. For example, securities that may be subject to fair valuation include, but are not limited to: (1) securities in which trading has been halted pending further news; (2) illiquid securities in which there is no trading market and no broker coverage; (3) stale priced securities; (4) securities that may have defaulted or de-listed from an exchange and are no longer trading; or (5) any other security which the Adviser, Sub-Advisers or Pricing Committee feels does not represent a reliable current price. In addition, a Fund may fair value securities that trade on a foreign exchange because a significant event has occurred after the foreign exchange closes but before the time as of which a Fund’s share price is calculated. Foreign exchanges typically close before the time as of which Fund share prices are calculated, and may be closed altogether on some days a Fund is open. Such significant events affecting a foreign security may include, but are not limited to: (1) those relating to a single issuer; (2) governmental actions that affect securities in one sector or country; (3) natural disasters or armed conflicts affecting a country or region; or (4) significant market fluctuations. There is no single factor for determining the fair value of a security, but rather several factors are used, including an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the security is purchased or sold, in determining whether a market price is readily available and, if not, the security’s fair value.

In light of the judgment involved in fair value decisions, there can be no assurances that a fair value assigned to a particular security reflects a price for

which a security has traded or will trade. Accordingly, when a Fund uses fair value to price securities, it may value those securities higher or lower than another fund that uses market quotations to price the same securities.

The Board of Directors has adopted pricing and valuation procedures for determining the value of Fund shares. The Board of Directors receives and reviews quarterly reports regarding any valuation issues that arose during the preceding quarter.

To open an account with one of the Funds, your first investment must be at least $1,000. However, you can add to your account for as little as $100. In special circumstances, these minimums may be waived or lowered at the Funds’ discretion.

HOW DO I PURCHASE SHARES?

Shares of each Fund may be purchased by mail or by wire through the Distributor (BISYS Fund Services Limited Partnership d/b/a BISYS Fund Services) or through a Shareholder Servicing Agent or Broker-Dealer that has an agreement with the Distributor or with the Adviser (an “Authorized Dealer”). Each of the Funds, Adviser and Distributor reserves the right to reject any purchase request at any time, for any reason. See “Market Timing Policies.”

If you purchase shares directly from the Distributor, your account will be maintained by the transfer agent of the Funds, BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”). For account balance information and shareholder services, you may call the Transfer Agent at (800) 607-2200. Shareholder information is subject to independent identity verification and may be shared, as permitted by law and the Funds’ Privacy Policy, for identifying and reporting suspected money laundering and terrorist activity. In compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act, all financial institutions (including mutual funds) are required, among other matters, to obtain, verify and record the following information for all registered owners or others who may be authorized to act on an account: full name, date of birth, taxpayer identification number (usually your Social Security number), and permanent street address. Corporate, trust and other entity accounts require additional documentation. This information will be used to verify your true identity. If any of the above requested information is missing, we may reject your account and return your application or take such other action as we deem reasonable as permitted by law. All applications for purchase must be approved by the Adviser. Please review your account application for additional information.

By Mail

Through an Authorized Dealer

Contact your Authorized Dealer for instructions. Shares will be issued upon receipt of payment by the Funds in which you are investing (see “Additional Conditions—Transactions Through Intermediaries”).

Through the Distributor

•

Contact the Transfer Agent for information on obtaining the Purchase Application;

•

Complete the Purchase Application; obtain written Adviser approval; and

•

Mail it together with a check payable to name of the Fund to:

Old Westbury Funds, Inc.

P.O. Box 182067

Columbus, OH 43218-2067

Subsequent investments in a Fund do not require a Purchase Application; however, the shareholder’s account number must be clearly marked on the check to ensure proper credit.

Subsequent investments may also be made by sending a check with the detachable coupon that regularly accompanies the confirmation of a previous transaction.

The Funds will not accept the following payments: third party checks; money orders; bank starter checks; traveler’s checks; credit card convenience checks; or checks drawn in a foreign currency.

By Wire

Investments may be made directly through the use of wire transfers of federal funds after an account has been established. Shares purchased by wire will be effected at the public offering price next determined after acceptance of the order by the Distributor.

Through an Authorized Dealer

Contact your Authorized Dealer for instructions.

Through the Distributor

If you do not have a relationship with an Authorized Dealer, you may purchase shares directly from the Distributor by federal funds wire, after completing the Purchase Application, submitting the Purchase Application to the Adviser for approval, and forwarding a copy to the Distributor. No Purchase Application is required for subsequent investments.

Complete applications should be directed to:

Old Westbury Funds, Inc.

P.O. Box 182067

Columbus, OH 43218-2067

Please contact the Transfer Agent at (800) 607-2200 for complete instructions.

HOW DO I REDEEM SHARES?

Shares of each Fund may be redeemed by mail or by wire through an Authorized Dealer or through the Transfer Agent.

Redemptions will only be made on days when a Fund computes its NAV. When your redemption request is received in proper form, shares of the Fund will be redeemed at its next determined NAV.

Redemption requests must be received by 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) in order for shares to be redeemed at that day’s NAV. Redemption proceeds will normally be mailed the following business day, but in no event more than seven days, after the request is made.

Generally, redemption requests are paid in cash, unless the redemption request is for more than the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net assets of a Fund by a single shareholder over any ninety-day period. If a request for a redemption is over these limits, it may be to the detriment of existing shareholders to pay such redemption in cash. Therefore, a redemption request may be paid in securities of equal value.

By Telephone

Through your Authorized Dealer

Contact your Authorized Dealer for complete instructions. Your Authorized Dealer may accept your redemption request if you have previously elected this service. See “Additional Conditions” for information regarding telephone transactions.

Through the Transfer Agent

For shareholders whose accounts are maintained by the Transfer Agent, if you have authorized the telephone redemption privilege in your Purchase Application, you may redeem shares by calling the Transfer Agent at (800) 607-2200.

By Mail

Through your Authorized Dealer

Send a letter to your Authorized Dealer, indicating your name, the Fund name, your account number and the number of shares or dollar amount you want to redeem. Your request must be signed in exactly the same way the account is registered (if there is more than one owner of the shares, all must sign).

Shareholders may also redeem Fund shares through participating organizations holding such shares who have made arrangements with the Funds permitting them to redeem such shares by telephone or facsimile transmission and who may charge a fee for this service.

Through the Transfer Agent

For shareholders whose accounts are maintained by the Transfer Agent, redemptions may be made by sending a written redemption request indicating your name, the Fund name, your account number and the number of shares or the dollar amount you want to redeem to:

Old Westbury Funds, Inc.

P.O. Box 182067

Columbus, OH 43218-2067

For additional assistance, call (800) 607-2200.

Additional Conditions

Transactions Through Intermediaries

Certain broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries are authorized to accept purchase orders on behalf of the Fund at the Fund’s net asset value next determined after your order is received by an organization in proper order before 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, or such earlier time as may be required by an organization. These organizations may be authorized to designate other intermediaries to act in this capacity. These organizations may charge you transaction fees on purchases of Fund shares and may impose other charges or restrictions or account options that differ from those applicable to shareholders who purchase shares directly through the Funds

or the Distributor. These organizations may be the shareholders of record of your shares. These intermediaries are responsible for transmitting requests and delivering funds on a timely basis. Neither the Funds nor the Distributor is responsible for ensuring that the organizations carry out their obligations to their customers.

Signature Guarantees

You must have a signature guarantee on written redemption requests:

•

when you want a redemption to be sent to an address other than the one you have on record with the Fund;

•

when you want the redemption payable to someone other than the shareholder of record;

•

when your account address has changed within the last 10 business days;

•

when the redemption proceeds are being transferred to another Fund account with a different registration; or

•

when the redemption proceeds are being wired to bank instructions currently not on your account.

A signature guarantee is designed to protect your account from fraud. We accept signature guarantees only from members of the STAMP (Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program), MSP (New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program) or SEMP (Stock Exchanges Medallion Program). Members are subject to dollar limitations which must be considered when requesting their guarantee. The Transfer Agent may reject any signature guarantee if it believes the transaction would otherwise be improper.

Limitations on Redemption Proceeds

Redemption proceeds normally are mailed within one business day after receiving a request in proper form. However, payment may be delayed up to seven days:

•

to allow your purchase payment to clear;

•

during periods of market volatility; or

•

when a shareholder’s trade activity or amount adversely impacts a Fund’s ability to manage its assets; or

•

during periods when the NYSE is closed other than on customary weekend and holiday closings, when trading is restricted, if an emergency exists as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), or by other order of the SEC.

You will not accrue interest or dividends on uncashed checks from the Fund if those checks are undeliverable and returned to the Fund. The proceeds of your redemption of shares that were purchased by check may be held up to 10 business days until the Transfer Agent is satisfied that the check has cleared. You can avoid this delay by purchasing shares by wire. Redemptions made after an account has been opened, but before a customer’s identity has been verified, which may take up to five business days, must be made in writing, even if the redemption involves shares purchased by wire.

Telephone Transactions

The Funds make every effort to insure that telephone redemptions and exchanges are only made by authorized shareholders. All telephone calls are recorded for your protection, and you will be asked for information to verify your identity. Given these precautions, unless you have specifically indicated on your application that you do not want the telephone redemption feature, you may be responsible for any fraudulent telephone orders. If appropriate precautions have not been taken, the Transfer Agent may be liable for losses due to unauthorized transactions. Telephone transaction privileges, including purchases, redemptions and exchanges placed by telephonic instructions or facsimile instructions, may be revoked at any time at the discretion of the Funds without advance notice to shareholders. In such cases, and at times of peak activity when it may be difficult to place requests by phone, transaction requests may be made by regular mail.

HOW DO I EXCHANGE SHARES?

You may exchange shares of a Fund for shares of any of the other Funds offered in this prospectus free of charge, provided you meet the $1,000 minimum investment requirement. An exchange is treated as a redemption and subsequent purchase, and is therefore a taxable transaction. As stated above, the Funds reserve the right to reject any purchase order for any reason. Also see “Market Timing Policies” below. Signatures must be guaranteed if you request and exchange into another Fund with a different shareholder registration. The Funds will provide shareholders with 60 days’ written notice prior to any modification of this exchange privilege. See “Additional Conditions—Verifying Telephone Transactions” for information regarding exchanging shares by telephone.

Exchanges may be made by sending a written request to Old Westbury Funds, Inc., P.O. Box 182067, Columbus OH 43218-2067 or by calling 1-800-607-2200. Please provide the following information:

•

your name and telephone number

•

the exact name on your account and account number

•

taxpayer identification number (usually your Social Security number)

•

dollar value or number of shares to be exchanged

•

the name of the Fund from which the exchange is to be made

•

the name of the Fund into which the exchange is being made.

MARKET TIMING POLICIES

The Funds are not designed for market timing strategies. If you intend to engage in market timing, do not invest in shares of the Funds. The Funds’ Board of Directors has adopted policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and/or exchanges of Fund Shares that are intended to detect and deter market timing. Frequent purchases, and subsequent redemptions, or exchanges shortly thereafter may interfere with the most effective and efficient investment of assets a Fund in accordance with its objectives and policies. Such trading practices may also cause dilution in value of a Fund’s shares held by long-term shareholders and may increase brokerage and administrative costs.

The Funds reserve the right to reject any purchase and/or exchange orders if, in the Adviser’s discretion, a shareholder (including all accounts under common ownership) engages in a trading practice which the Adviser believes may cause harm to the Fund or its shareholders. Moreover, the Funds reserve the right to reject any purchase request at any time, for any reason and may revoke telephone transaction privileges at any time. To minimize harm to the Funds and their shareholders, the Funds reserve the right to permanently refuse purchase and/or exchange requests.

The Funds do not knowingly accommodate excessive trading of shares and do not tolerate excessive trading when detected. In addition, the Funds have not created any arrangements, such as an automated exchange or redemption program, that would permit frequent trading. The Board of Directors receive periodic net asset inflow and outflow information reflecting purchase, exchange and redemption activities. The Board may determine to impose additional restrictions as they deem necessary, if any such transaction activities detrimental to long-term shareholders are discovered.

There can be no assurances that the Funds will be able to detect, anticipate or stop any such orders, exchanges or requests because of various factors. For example, the Funds are not able to identify trading by a particular beneficial owner through omnibus accounts held by certain financial intermediaries since all trading activity in the omnibus account is aggregated. Neither the Funds nor their agents shall be held liable for any loss resulting from rejected purchase orders or exchanges.

ACCOUNT AND SHARE INFORMATION

Confirmations and Account Statements

You will receive confirmation of purchases, redemptions and exchanges. In addition, you will receive periodic statements reporting all account activity, including distributions of any net investment income and realized net capital gains.

Fund Distributions

Distributions (if any) are paid to shareholders invested in the Funds on the record date. Distributions from net investment income (dividends and interest less net expenses) are declared and paid semi-annually for the Fixed Income, Real Return and Municipal Bond Funds and annually for the Large Cap Equity, Mid Cap Equity, Global Small Cap and International Funds. Net capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually. Your distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares unless you elect cash payments.

If you purchase shares just before a Fund declares a taxable distribution, you will pay the full price for the shares and then receive a portion of the price back in the form of a distribution, which is generally subject to tax whether or not you reinvest the distribution in additional shares. Similarly, if you purchase shares of a Fund when it holds appreciated securities, you will receive a taxable return of part of your investment if and when the Fund sells the securities and realizes and distributes the gain. The Funds have built up, or have the potential to build up, high levels of unrealized appreciation. Therefore, you should consider the tax implications of purchasing shares shortly before the Fund declares a distribution. Contact your investment professional or the Fund for information concerning when distributions will be paid.

Householding

In order to reduce shareholder expenses we may, if prior consent has been provided, mail only one copy of a Fund’s prospectus and each annual and semi-annual report to those addresses shared by two or more accounts. If you wish to receive individual copies of these documents, please call 1-800-607-2200, or if your shares are held through a financial institution, please contact them directly. We will begin sending your individual copies with the next scheduled mailing.

Taxes

The following discussion regarding federal income taxes is based upon laws that were in effect as of the date of this Prospectus and summarizes only some of

the important federal income tax considerations affecting the Funds and you as a shareholder. It does not apply to foreign or tax-exempt shareholders or those holding Fund shares through a tax-advantaged account such as a 401(k) plan or Individual Retirement Account. This discussion is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning. You should consult your tax advisor about your specific tax situation, including state, local and foreign tax consequences of investing in a Fund. Please see the Statement of Additional Information for additional federal income tax information.

We will pass on to a Fund’s shareholders substantially all of the Fund’s net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any. Distributions of the Municipal Bond Fund’s net investment income from tax-exempt securities, if any, generally will not be subject to federal income tax, although a portion of such distributions may be subject to the federal AMT. Distributions from the Municipal Bond Fund’s net investment income from other sources and net short-term capital gain, if any, and distributions from the other Funds’ ordinary income and net short-term capital gain, if any, generally will be taxable to you as ordinary income. Distributions from a Fund’s net long-term capital gain, if any, generally will be taxable to you as long-term capital gain.

An individual’s net long-term capital gain is subject to a reduced, maximum 15% rate of tax. Also, if you are an individual Fund shareholder, the portion of your distributions attributable to dividends received by a Fund from certain U.S. and foreign corporations generally will be taxed at a maximum 15% tax rate, as long as certain holding period requirements are met by you for your Fund shares and the Fund for its investment in stock producing such dividends. Absent further legislation, these reduced rates of tax will expire after December 31, 2008. Corporate shareholders may be able to deduct a portion of their distributions when determining their taxable income.

Distributions from a Fund normally will be taxable to you when paid, whether you take distributions in cash or automatically reinvest them in additional Fund shares. Following the end of each year, we will notify you of the federal income tax status of your distributions for the year.

If more than 50% of a Fund’s total assets at the close of its taxable year consist of securities of non-U.S. companies, the Fund can file an election with the IRS that requires you to include a pro-rata portion amount of the Fund’s foreign withholding taxes in your gross income, and treat such amount as foreign taxes paid by you. In general, you can either deduct such amount in computing your taxable income or claim such amount as a foreign tax credit against your federal income tax liability, subject to certain limitations. We expect the International Fund and Global Small Cap Fund to be eligible for this election, but we cannot assure you that it will make the election for any year. It is not expected that any other Funds in this Prospectus will be eligible for this election.

As a regulated investment company for federal income tax purposes, each Fund must derive at least 90 percent of its gross income from certain qualifying sources. Rules governing the federal income tax aspects of derivatives are in a developing stage and are not entirely clear in certain respects, particularly in light of a recent Internal Revenue Service revenue ruling that held that income from a derivative contract on a commodity index will not constitute qualifying income after June 30, 2006. The Real Return Fund intends to limit its investments in commodity-linked derivatives in a manner designed to ensure its continued qualification as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code. The Internal Revenue Service may not agree with determinations made by a Fund. These events could necessitate a future change to the Real Return Fund’s principal investment strategies.

Your redemptions (including redemptions-in-kind) and exchanges of Fund shares ordinarily will result in a taxable capital gain or loss, depending on the amount you receive for your shares (or are deemed to receive in the case of exchanges) and the amount you paid (or are deemed to have paid) for them. Such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held your redeemed or exchanged Fund shares for more than one year at the time of redemption or exchange. In certain circumstances, losses realized on the redemption or exchange of Fund shares may be disallowed.

In certain circumstances, Fund shareholders may be subject to back-up withholding taxes.

WHO MANAGES THE FUNDS?

The Board of Directors governs the Funds. The Board oversees the Adviser, Bessemer Investment Management LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bessemer Trust Company, N.A. (“Bessemer”). The Adviser manages the Funds’ assets, including buying and selling portfolio securities. The Adviser’s address is 630 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10111.

Bessemer is a subsidiary of The Bessemer Group, Incorporated (“BGI”). The Adviser, and other subsidiaries of The Bessemer Group, Incorporated, advise or provide investment, fiduciary and personal banking services to approximately 1,800 client relationships with total assets under supervision of approximately $42 billion as of November 30, 2005.

For its services under an Advisory Contract, the Adviser receives an Advisory Fee from each Fund, computed daily and payable monthly, in accordance with the following schedule:


	First $500 million of average net assets		Second $500 million of average net assets		Average net assets exceeding $1 billion
Large Cap Equity Fund	0.70	%	0.65	%	0.60	%
Mid Cap Equity Fund	0.70	%	0.65	%	0.60	%
International Fund	0.80	%	0.75	%	0.70	%
Fixed Income Fund	0.45	%	0.40	%	0.35	%
Municipal Bond Fund	0.45	%	0.40	%	0.35	%


	Average net assets
Global Small Cap Fund	0.85	%
Real Return Fund	0.85	%

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005, the Funds each paid advisory fees as a percentage of its average net assets as follows: 0.66% Large Cap Equity Fund; 0.63% Mid Cap Equity Fund; 0.72% International Fund; 0.85% Global Small Cap Fund; 0.85% Real Return Fund; 0.45% Fixed Income Fund; and 0.45% Municipal Bond Fund.

Information regarding the factors considered by the Board of Directors of the Funds in connection with the most recent approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement is provided in the Funds’ Annual Report for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005.

Sub-Advisers

Bessemer Group (UK) Limited, located at One Stanhope Gate, London, United Kingdom, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BGI, serves as Sub-Adviser to the International Fund. The fees of BGUK are included in the advisory fees set forth above.

Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc., located at 1299 Ocean Avenue, 11th Floor, Santa Monica, CA 90401, serves as a Sub-Adviser to the Global Small Cap Fund. In this capacity, DFA is responsible for the day-to-day management for a portion of the Fund’s portfolio for the Global Small Cap Fund subject to the oversight of the Adviser. DFA was organized in May 1981 and is engaged in the business of providing investment management services to institutional investors and clients of independent financial advisers. As of November 30, 2005, assets under management totaled approximately $84 billion. The fees of DFA are based on the assets that DFA is responsible for managing. The fees of DFA, which are paid by the Adviser from the fees it receives, are included in the advisory fees set forth above.

Champlain Investment Partners, LLC (“Champlain”), located at 346 Shelburne Road, Burlington, Vermont 05401, serves as a Sub-Adviser to the Global Small Cap Fund. Champlain is responsible for the day-to-day management for a portion of the Fund’s portfolio as assigned by the Adviser. Champlain is a registered investment adviser and had approximately $210 million in assets under management as of November 30, 2005.

As described above, the Adviser and the Global Small Cap and International Funds have engaged Sub-Advisers to make the day-to-day investment decisions for all or a portion of these Funds. With respect to the Global Small Cap Fund, the Adviser, under normal circumstances, intends to manage directly approximately 10% of the Fund’s assets. The Adviser, these Funds and other Funds may in the future engage one or more additional sub-advisers. While a sub-adviser may make the day-to-day investment decisions for a Fund, the Adviser retains ultimate responsibility (subject to Board oversight) for overseeing the sub-adviser and evaluating the Fund’s needs and the sub-adviser’s skills and abilities on an ongoing basis. Based on its evaluations, the Adviser may at times recommend to the Board that a Fund:

•

change, add or terminate one or more sub-advisers;

•

continue to retain a sub-adviser even though the sub-adviser’s ownership or corporate structure has changed; or

•

materially change a sub-advisory agreement with a sub-adviser.

Applicable law requires a Fund to obtain shareholder approval in order to act on most of these types of recommendations, even if the Board has approved the proposed action and believes that the action is in shareholders’ best interests. The Adviser and the Funds will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit the Adviser (subject to the Board’s oversight and approval) to make decisions about a Fund’s sub-advisory arrangements without obtaining approval from Fund shareholders. The Adviser or a Fund will inform the Fund’s shareholders of any actions taken in reliance on this relief. Until the Adviser and the Funds obtain the relief, each Fund will continue to submit these matters to shareholders for their approval to the extent required by applicable law.

The Statement of Additional Information has more information about the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, as well as the Funds’ other service providers.

Mr. Stahl graduated with a BS from Vanderbilt University, an MBA from Tulane University, and an MSc from the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Additional information about the portfolio managers’ compensation arrangements, other accounts managed by the portfolio managers, as applicable, and the portfolio managers’ ownership of securities of the Funds they manage is available in the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information

DISTRIBUTION OF FUND SHARES

The Funds’ Board of Directors has adopted a Rule 12b-1 distribution and service plan on behalf of each Fund (the “Plan”) and, pursuant to the Plan, each Fund and BISYS Fund Services Limited Partnership d/b/a BISYS Fund Services (the “Distributor”) have entered into a Distribution Agreement and a Shareholder Servicing Agreement. Each Fund has also entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with Bessemer.

Under Shareholder Servicing Agreements, the Distributor and Bessemer each are permitted to receive up to a total of 0.15% per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets (the “Shareholder Servicing Fee”) to permit them to make payments to third parties for providing shareholder services. The total Shareholder Servicing Fee in the aggregate will not exceed 0.15% per annum of the average

daily net assets of a Fund. The maximum amount payable under the Plans is 0.15% per annum of the average daily net assets of each Fund.

Because these fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

The Plans also provide that Bessemer or the Distributor may make payments from time to time from their own resources and past profits for certain enumerated purposes.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Financial Highlights

The following financial highlights are intended to help you understand each Fund’s financial performance for its past five fiscal years, or since inception, if the life of a Fund is shorter.

SECURITIES DESCRIPTIONS, TECHNIQUES AND RISKS

The following describes securities, techniques and risks used by the Funds in addition to those described in the prospectus.

ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES. Asset-backed securities are issued by non-governmental entities and carry no direct or indirect government guarantee. Asset-backed securities represent an interest in a pool of assets such as car loans and credit card receivables. These securities may be in the form of pass-through instruments or asset-backed bonds.

Payments on asset-backed securities depend upon assets held by the issuer and collections of the underlying loans. The value of these securities depends on many factors, including changing interest rates, the availability of information about the pool and its structure, the credit quality of the underlying assets, the market’s perception of the servicer of the pool, and any credit enhancement provided. Also, these securities may be subject to prepayment risk.

BANK OBLIGATIONS. Bank Obligations include negotiable certificates of deposit, time deposits and bankers acceptances. The Funds will invest in bank instruments (i) that have been issued by banks and savings and loans and savings banks that have more than $2 billion in total assets and are organized under the laws of the United States or any state; (ii) of foreign branches of these banks or of foreign banks of equivalent size; and (iii) of U.S. branches of foreign banks of equivalent size. The Funds will not invest in obligations for which the Adviser, or any of its affiliated persons, is the ultimate obligor or accepting bank. The Funds may also invest in obligations of the European Investment Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank or the World Bank and other such similar institutions.

BORROWING. The Funds may borrow money from banks or through reverse repurchase agreements in amounts up to one-third of total assets and pledge some assets as collateral. A Fund that borrows will pay interest on borrowed money and may incur other transaction costs. These expenses can exceed the income received or capital appreciation realized by the Fund from any securities purchased with borrowed money. With respect to borrowings, the Funds are required to maintain continuous asset coverage to 300% of the amount borrowed. If the coverage declines to less than 300%, the Fund must sell sufficient portfolio securities, even at a loss, to restore the coverage.

COMMERCIAL PAPER. The Funds may invest in commercial paper, including master demand obligations. Master demand obligations provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid and permit daily changes in the amount borrowed. The commercial paper in which the Funds may invest must be rated A-1 or A-2 by Standard & Poor’s (S&P), Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s), or F-1 or F-2 by Fitch IBCA, Inc. (Fitch). Master demand obligations are governed by agreements between the issuer and Bessemer Trust Company, N.A., acting as agent, for no additional fee, in its capacity as investment adviser to the Funds and as fiduciary for other clients for whom it exercises investment discretion. The monies loaned to the borrower come from accounts managed by the Adviser or its affiliates, pursuant to arrangements with such accounts. Interest and principal payments are credited to such accounts. The Adviser, acting as a fiduciary on behalf of its clients, has the right to increase or decrease the amount provided to the borrower under an obligation. The borrower has the right to pay without penalty all or any part of the principal amount then outstanding on an obligation together with interest to the date of payment. Since these obligations typically provide that the interest rate is tied to the Federal Reserve commercial paper composite rate, the rate on master demand obligations is subject to change. Repayment of a master demand obligation to participating accounts depends on the ability of the borrower to pay the accrued interest and principal of the obligation on demand which is continuously monitored by the Adviser. Since master demand obligations typically are not rated by credit rating agencies, the Funds may invest in such unrated obligations only if at the time of an investment the obligation is determined by the Adviser to have a credit quality which satisfies the Funds’ quality restrictions. Although there is no secondary market for master demand obligations, such obligations are considered by the Funds to be liquid because they are payable upon demand. The Funds do not have any specific percentage limitation on investments in master demand obligations.

COMMON STOCKS. Common stocks are the most prevalent type of equity security. Common stockholders receive the residual value of the issuer’s earnings and assets after the issuer pays its creditors and any preferred stockholders. As a result, changes in an issuer’s earnings directly influence the value of its common stock.

CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. Certain Funds may, as an interim alternative to investment in common stocks, purchase investment grade convertible debt securities having a rating of, or equivalent to, at least “BBB” by S&P or “Baa” by Moody’s, or if unrated, judged by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. Securities rated BBB or Baa have speculative characteristics. Convertible securities may include convertible preferred stock, convertible bonds and convertible bonds of foreign issues. Although lower rated bonds generally have higher yields, they are more speculative and subject to a greater risk of default with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal than are higher rated debt securities.

In selecting convertible securities, the Adviser relies primarily on its own evaluation of the issuer and the potential for capital appreciation through conversion. It does not rely on the rating of the security or sell because of a change in the rating absent a change in its own evaluation of the underlying common stock and the ability of the

issuer to pay principal and interest or dividends when due without disrupting its business goals. Interest or dividend yield is a factor only to the extent it is reasonably consistent with prevailing rates for securities of similar quality and thereby provides a support level for the market price of the security. The Funds will purchase the convertible securities of highly leveraged issuers only when, in the judgment of the Adviser, the risk of default is outweighed by the potential for capital appreciation. The Funds do not intend to purchase convertible securities in excess of 5% of the Fund’s total assets.

CORPORATE REORGANIZATIONS. Each Fund may invest in securities for which a tender or exchange offer has been made or announced and in securities of companies for which a merger, consolidation, liquidation or reorganization proposal has been announced if, in the judgment of the Adviser, there is reasonable prospect of capital appreciation significantly greater than the brokerage and other transaction expenses involved. The primary risk of such investments is that if the contemplated transaction is abandoned, revised, delayed or becomes subject to unanticipated uncertainties, the market price of the securities may decline below the purchase price paid by the Funds.

In general, securities which are the subject of such an offer or proposal sell at a premium to their historic market price immediately prior to the announcement of the offer or proposal. However, the increased market price of such securities may also discount what the stated or appraised value of the security would be if the contemplated transaction were approved or consummated. Such investments may be advantageous when the discount significantly overstates the risk of the contingencies involved; significantly undervalues the securities, assets or cash to be received by shareholders of the prospective portfolio company as a result of the contemplated transaction; or fails adequately to recognize the possibility that the offer or proposal may be replaced or superseded by an offer or proposal of greater value. The evaluation of such contingencies requires unusually broad knowledge and experience on the part of the Adviser which must appraise not only the value of the issuer and its component businesses as well as the assets or securities to be received as a result of the contemplated transaction, but also the financial resources and business motivation of the offerer as well as the dynamics of the business climate when the offer or proposal is in process.

In making such investments, each diversified Fund will not violate any of its diversification requirements or investment restrictions (see “Investment Restrictions”) including the requirement that, with respect to 75% of its total assets, not more than 5% of its total assets may be invested in the securities of any one issuer. Since such investments are ordinarily short-term in nature, they will increase the turnover ratio of the Funds thereby increasing its brokerage and other transaction expenses. The Adviser intends to select investments of the type described which, in its view, have a reasonable prospect of capital appreciation which is significant in relation to both the risk involved and the potential of available alternate investments as well as monitor the effect of such investments on the federal income tax qualification tests of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), imposed on the Funds. Each Fund does not intend to purchase these securities in excess of 5% of that Fund’s total assets.

CREDIT QUALITY. Generally, the fixed income securities in which a Fund invests will be rated at least investment grade by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization (NRSRO). Investment grade securities have received one of an NRSRO’s four highest ratings. Securities receiving the fourth highest rating (Baa by Moody’s or BBB by S&P or Fitch) have speculative characteristics and changes in the market or the economy are more likely to affect the ability of the issuer to repay its obligations when due. The Adviser will evaluate downgraded securities and will sell any security determined not to be an acceptable investment. The Large Cap Equity Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund, International Fund and Fixed Income Fund may invest up to 5% of their net assets in securities rated below investment grade, but not below the sixth highest rating category (commonly known as “junk bonds”). (See “High Yield Securities” herein for more information)

DEBT OBLIGATIONS. The Funds may invest in the following type of debt obligations, including bonds, notes, and debentures of corporate issuers or governments, which may have fixed or floating rates of interest.

FIXED RATE DEBT OBLIGATIONS. Fixed rate debt obligations include fixed rate debt securities with short-term characteristics. Fixed rate securities with short-term characteristics are long-term debt obligations but are

treated in the market as having short maturities because call features of the securities may make them callable within a short period of time. A fixed rate security with short-term characteristics includes a fixed income security priced close to call or redemption price or a fixed income security approaching maturity, where the expectation of call or redemption is high.

Fixed rate securities exhibit more price volatility during times of rising or falling interest rates than securities with floating rates of interest. This is because floating rate securities, as described below, behave like short-term instruments in that the rate of interest they pay is subject to periodic adjustments based on a designated interest rate index. Fixed rate securities pay a fixed rate of interest and are more sensitive to fluctuating interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates, the value of a fixed rate security is likely to fall. Fixed rate securities with short-term characteristics are not subject to the same price volatility as fixed rate securities without such characteristics. Therefore, they behave more like floating rate securities with respect to price volatility.

FLOATING RATE DEBT OBLIGATIONS. The Funds may invest in floating rate debt obligations including increasing rate securities. Floating rate securities are generally offered at an initial interest rate which is at or above prevailing market rates. The interest rate paid on these securities is then reset periodically (commonly every 90 days to an increment over some predetermined interest rate index). Commonly utilized indices include the three-month Treasury bill rate, the 180-day Treasury bill rate, the one-month or three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), the prime rate of a bank, the commercial paper rates, or the longer-term rates on U.S. Treasury securities. Increasing rate securities’ rates are reset periodically at different levels on a predetermined scale. These levels of interest are ordinarily set at progressively higher increments over time. Some increasing rate securities may, by agreement, revert to a fixed rate status. These securities may also contain features which allow the issuer the option to convert the increasing rate of interest to a fixed rate under such terms, conditions, and limitations as are described in each issuer’s prospectus.

DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS. American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) are receipts, issued by a U.S. bank, that represent an interest in shares of a foreign-based corporation. ADRs provide a way to buy shares of foreign-based companies in the United States rather than in overseas markets. European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) are receipts, issued by foreign banks or trust companies, or foreign branches of U.S. banks, that represent an interest in shares of either a foreign or U.S. corporation. Depositary Receipts may not be denominated in the same currency as the underlying securities into which they may be converted, and are subject to currency risks. Depositary Receipts involve many of the same risks of investing directly in foreign securities.

EMERGING GROWTH COMPANIES. Emerging Growth Companies are companies that are beyond their initial start-up periods but have not yet reached a state of established growth or maturity. The nature of investing in emerging growth companies involves a greater level of risk than would be associated when investing in more established seasoned companies. The rate of growth of such companies may at times be dramatic; such companies often provide new products or services that enable them to capture a dominant or important market position, have a special area of expertise or are able to take advantage of changes in demographic factors in a more profitable way than other companies. These companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may lack management depth since they have not been tested by time or the marketplace. The securities of emerging growth companies often have limited marketability and may be subject to more volatile market movements than securities of larger, more established growth companies or the market averages in general. Shares of the Mid Cap Equity Fund and International Fund, therefore, may be subject to greater fluctuation in value than funds investing entirely in proven growth stocks.

FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS. Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts (“Forward Contracts”) are used to minimize the risks associated with changes in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. They are used to lock in the U.S. dollar price of a foreign security. A Forward Contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed price at a future date.

If the Adviser believes a foreign currency will decline against the U.S. dollar, a Forward Contract may be used to sell an amount of the foreign currency approximating the value of a Fund’s security that is denominated in the foreign currency. The success of this hedging strategy is highly uncertain due to the difficulties of predicting the

values of foreign currencies, of precisely matching Forward Contract amounts, and because of the constantly changing value of the securities involved. A Fund will not enter into Forward Contracts for hedging purposes in a particular currency in an amount in excess of the Fund’s assets denominated in that currency. Conversely, if the Adviser believes that the U.S. dollar will decline against a foreign currency, a Forward Contract may be used to buy that foreign currency for a fixed dollar amount, otherwise known as cross-hedging.

PUT AND CALL OPTIONS ON FOREIGN CURRENCIES. Purchasing and writing put and call options on foreign currencies are used to protect a Fund’s portfolio against declines in the U.S. dollar value of foreign portfolio securities and against increases in the dollar cost of foreign securities to be acquired. Writing an option on foreign currency constitutes only a partial hedge, up to the amount of the premium received. The Fund could lose money if it is required to purchase or sell foreign currencies at disadvantageous exchange rates. If exchange rate movements are adverse to the Fund’s position, the Fund may forfeit the entire amount of the premium plus related transaction costs. These options are traded on U.S. and foreign exchanges or over-the-counter. The Fund may write (sell) covered call options and secured put options on up to 25% of net assets and may purchase put and call options provided that no more than 5% of net assets may be invested in premiums on such options.

FOREIGN SECURITIES. The Funds, other than the Municipal Bond Fund, may invest in certain foreign securities; however, the only foreign securities the Mid Cap Equity Fund may invest in are securities of Canadian-based companies. Investment in securities of foreign issuers and in obligations of foreign branches of domestic banks involves somewhat different investment risks from those affecting securities of U.S. domestic issuers. There may be limited publicly available information with respect to foreign issuers, and foreign issuers are not generally subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial standards and requirements comparable to those applicable to domestic companies. Amounts realized on foreign securities may be subject to high levels of foreign withholding and other taxes which may decrease the net return on foreign investments as compared to amounts realized by the Funds by domestic securities.

Investors should realize that the value of the Funds’ investments in foreign securities may be adversely affected by changes in political or social conditions, diplomatic relations, confiscatory taxation, expropriation, nationalization, limitation on the removal of funds or assets, or imposition of (or change in) exchange control or tax regulations in those foreign countries. In addition, changes in government administrations or economic or monetary policies in the United States or abroad could result in appreciation or depreciation of portfolio securities and could favorably or unfavorably affect the Funds’ operations. Furthermore, the economies of individual foreign nations may differ from the U.S. economy, whether favorably or unfavorably, in areas such as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments position; it may also be more difficult to obtain and enforce a judgment against a foreign issuer. Any foreign investments made by the Funds must be made in compliance with U.S. foreign currency restrictions and tax laws restricting the amounts and types of foreign investments.

Investments of the International Fund are made primarily in those regions where, in the opinion of the Funds’ Adviser and Sub-Adviser, Bessemer Group U.K. (“BGUK”), there are opportunities to achieve superior investment returns relative to other investment opportunities outside the United States. The International Fund does not, however, generally invest in debt or equity securities of U.S. issuers. The International Fund emphasizes those industrial sectors of the world’s market, which, in the opinion of its Adviser or BGUK offer the most attractive risk/reward relationships. Securities of any given issuer are evaluated on the basis of such measures as price/earnings ratios, price/book ratios, cash flows and dividend and interest income.

Since investments in foreign securities may involve foreign currencies, the value of a Fund’s assets as measured in U.S. dollars may be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in currency rates and exchange control regulations, including currency blockage.

In addition, while the volume of transactions effected on foreign stock exchanges has increased in recent years, in most cases it remains appreciably below that of domestic security exchanges. Accordingly, the Funds’ foreign investments may be less liquid and their prices may be more volatile than comparable investments in securities of U.S. companies. Moreover, the settlement periods for foreign securities, which are often longer than those for securities of U.S. issuers, may affect portfolio liquidity. In buying and selling securities on foreign exchanges, purchasers normally pay fixed commissions that are generally higher than the negotiated commissions charged in the United States. In addition, there is generally less government supervision and regulation of securities exchanges, brokers and issuers located in foreign countries than in the United States.

CANADIAN SECURITIES. Canadian securities are sensitive to conditions within Canada, but also tend to follow the U.S. market. The country’s economy relies strongly on the production and processing of natural resources. In addition, the value in U.S. dollars of the Fund’s assets denominated in Canadian currency may be affected by changes in exchange rates and regulations.

DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS AND SECURITIES. The term derivative has traditionally been applied to certain contracts (futures, forward, option and swap contracts) that derive their value from changes in the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity or index. Derivatives also refer to securities that incorporate the performance characteristics of these contracts and securities derived from the cash flows from underlying securities, mortgages or other obligations. While the response of certain derivatives to market changes may differ from traditional investments like stocks and bonds, they do not necessarily present greater market risks than traditional investments. Derivative contracts and securities can reduce or increase the volatility of an investment portfolio’s total performance.

Depending upon how a Fund uses derivative contracts and the relationships between the market value of a derivative contract and the underlying asset, derivative contracts may increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to market and currency risks, and may also expose the Fund to liquidity and leverage risks. Over-the-counter contracts also expose the Fund to credit risks in the event that a counterparty defaults on the contract. (See “Foreign Currency Transactions”, “Futures and Options Transactions” and “Linked or Hybrid Instruments” herein for more information.)

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS. Foreign currency transactions are generally used to obtain foreign currencies to settle securities transactions. They can also be used as a hedge to protect assets against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates or regulations. When a Fund uses foreign currency exchanges as a hedge, it may also limit potential gain that could result from an increase in the value of such currencies. The Fund may be affected either favorably or unfavorably by fluctuations in the relative rates of exchange between the currencies of different nations. Foreign currency hedging transactions are used to protect against foreign currency exchange rate risks. These transactions include: forward foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign currency futures contracts, and purchasing put or call options on foreign currencies.

FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS. As a means of reducing fluctuations in its net asset value, a Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts, buy put and call options on portfolio securities and securities indices to hedge its portfolio or write covered put and call options on portfolio securities to attempt to increase its current income or to hedge its portfolio. There is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular futures contract or option at any particular time. The Fund’s ability to establish and close out futures and options positions depends on this secondary market.

FUTURES CONTRACTS. A futures contract is a commitment by two parties under which one party agrees to make delivery of an asset (seller) and another party agrees to take delivery of the asset at a certain time in the future. A futures contract may involve a variety of assets including commodities (such as oil, wheat or corn) or a financial asset (such as a security). A Fund may purchase and sell financial futures contracts: (i) to hedge against anticipated changes in the value of its portfolio without necessarily buying or selling the securities; (ii) as a broad

based investment in the stock market; or (iii) for any other reason deemed appropriate by the Adviser in achieving the Fund’s investment objective. A Fund’s use of futures contracts for non-hedging purposes is subject to certain limits described below. Although some financial futures contracts call for making or taking delivery of the underlying securities, in most cases these obligations are closed out before the settlement date. The closing of a futures contract is accomplished by purchasing or selling an identical offsetting futures contract. Other financial futures contracts call for cash settlements. Pursuant to regulations and/or published positions of the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), a Fund may be required to segregate cash or liquid assets in connection with its futures transactions in an amount generally equal to the entire value of the underlying security.

A Fund may purchase and sell stock index futures contracts: (i) to hedge against anticipated price changes with respect to any stock index traded on a recognized stock exchange or board of trade; (ii) as a broad based investment in the stock market; or (iii) for any other reason deemed appropriate by the Adviser in achieving the Fund’s investment objective. A stock index futures contract is an agreement in which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount of cash equal to the difference between the price of the original contract and the value of the index at the close of the last trading day of the contract. No physical delivery of the underlying securities in the index is made. Settlement is made in cash upon termination of the contract.

The Corporation has filed a notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act (the “CEA”) in accordance with Rule 4.5 of the CEA, and therefore, the Corporation is not subject to registration or regulation as a commodity pool operator under the CEA.

MARGIN IN FUTURES TRANSACTIONS. Since a Fund does not pay or receive money upon the purchase or sale of a futures contract, it is required to deposit an amount of initial margin in cash, U.S. government securities or highly-liquid debt securities as a good faith deposit. The margin is returned to the Fund upon termination of the contract. Initial margin in futures transactions does not involve borrowing to finance the transactions. As the value of the underlying futures contract changes daily, the Fund pays or receives cash, called variation margin, equal to the daily change in value of the futures contract. This process is known as marking to market. Variation margin does not represent a borrowing or loan by the Fund. It may be viewed as a settlement between the Fund and the broker of the amount one would owe the other if the futures contract expired. When the Fund purchases futures contracts, it will maintain, at a minimum, an amount of cash and/or cash equivalents, equal to the underlying commodity value of the futures contracts to “collateralize” the position and insure that the futures contracts are covered. The Fund is also required to deposit and maintain margin when it writes call options on futures contracts.

LIMITS ON NON-HEDGING USE OF FUTURES AND OPTIONS. A Fund will limit its use of futures contracts and options for non-hedging purposes. A Fund will not enter into a futures contract or purchase an option thereon for other than hedging purposes if immediately thereafter the initial margin deposits for futures contracts held by it, plus premiums paid by it for open options on futures contracts, would exceed 5% of the market value of its net assets, after taking into account the unrealized gains and losses on those contracts it has entered into. However, in the case of an option that is in-the-money at the time of purchase, the in-the-money amount may be excluded in computing such 5%. In the alternative, a Fund will not enter into futures transactions for non-hedging purposes if the aggregate notional values exceed the liquidation value of its portfolio.

PUT OPTIONS ON FINANCIAL AND STOCK INDEX FUTURES CONTRACTS. A Fund may purchase listed put options on financial and stock index futures contracts to protect portfolio securities against decreases in value. Unlike entering directly into a futures contract, which requires the purchaser to buy a financial instrument on a set date at a specified price, the purchase of a put option on a futures contract entitles (but does not obligate) its purchaser to decide on or before a future date whether to assume a short position at the specified price.

Generally, if the hedged portfolio securities decrease in value during the term of an option, the related futures contracts will also decrease in value and the option will increase in value. In such an event, the Fund will normally close out its option by selling an identical option. If the hedge is successful, the proceeds received by the Fund upon the sale of the second option will be large enough to offset both the premium paid by the Fund for the original option plus the decrease in value of the hedged securities.

Alternatively, a Fund may exercise its put option to close out the position. To do so, it would simultaneously enter into a futures contract of the type underlying the option (for a price less than the strike price of the option) and exercise the option. The Fund would then deliver the futures contract in return for payment of the strike price. If the Fund neither closes out nor exercises an option, the option will expire on the date provided in the option contract, and only the premium paid for the contract will be lost.

A Fund may also write (sell) listed put options on financial or stock index futures contracts to hedge its portfolio against a decrease in market interest rates or an increase in stock prices. A Fund will use these transactions to purchase portfolio securities in the future at price levels existing at the time it enters into the transaction. When a Fund sells a put on a futures contract, it receives a cash premium in exchange for granting to the buyer of the put the right to receive from the Fund, at the strike price, a short position in such futures contract. This is so even though the strike price upon exercise of the option is greater than the value of the futures position received by such holder. As market interest rates decrease or stock prices increase, the market price of the underlying futures contract normally increases. When the underlying futures contract increases, the buyer of the put option has less reason to exercise the put because the buyer can sell the same futures contract at a higher price in the market. If the value of the underlying futures position is not such that exercise of the option would be profitable to the option holder, the option will generally expire without being exercised. The premium received by the Fund can then be used to offset the higher prices of portfolio securities to be purchased in the future.

In order to avoid the exercise of an option sold by it, generally a Fund will cancel its obligation under the option by entering into a closing purchase transaction, unless it is determined to be in the Fund’s interest to deliver the underlying futures position. A closing purchase transaction consists of the purchase by the Fund of an option having the same term as the option sold by the Fund, and has the effect of canceling the Fund’s position as a seller. The premium which the Fund will pay in executing a closing purchase transaction may be higher than the premium received when the option was sold, depending in large part upon the relative price of the underlying futures position at the time of each transaction. If the hedge is successful, the cost of buying the second option will be less than the premium received by the Fund for the initial option.

CALL OPTIONS ON FINANCIAL AND STOCK INDEX FUTURES CONTRACTS. A Fund may write (sell) listed and over-the-counter call options on financial and stock index futures contracts to hedge its portfolio. When the Fund writes a call option on a futures contract, it undertakes to sell a futures contract at the fixed price at any time during the life of the option. As stock prices fall or market interest rates rise, causing the prices of futures to go down, the Fund’s obligation to sell a futures contract costs less to fulfill, causing the value of the Fund’s call option position to increase. In other words, as the underlying futures price goes down below the strike price, the buyer of the option has no reason to exercise the call, so that the Fund keeps the premium received for the option. This premium can substantially offset the drop in value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

Prior to the expiration of a call written by a Fund, or exercise of it by the buyer, the Fund may close out the option by buying an identical option. If the hedge is successful, the cost of the second option will be less than the premium received by the Fund for the initial option. The net premium income of the Fund will then substantially offset the decrease in value of the hedged securities.

A Fund may buy a listed call option on a financial or stock index futures contract to hedge against decreases in market interest rates or increases in stock price. A Fund will use these transactions to purchase portfolio securities in the future at price levels existing at the time it enters into the transaction. When a Fund purchases a call on a financial futures contract, it receives in exchange for the payment of a cash premium the right, but not the obligation, to enter into the underlying futures contract at a strike price determined at the time the call was purchased, regardless of the comparative market value of such futures position at the time the option is exercised. The holder of a call option has the right to receive a long (or buyer’s) position in the underlying futures contract. As market interest rates fall or stock prices increase, the value of the underlying futures contract will normally increase, resulting in an increase in value of the Fund’s option position. When the market price of the underlying futures contract increases above the strike price plus premium paid, the Fund could exercise its option and buy the futures contract below market price. Prior to the exercise or expiration of the call option, the Fund could sell an identical call option and close out its position. If the premium received upon selling the offsetting call is greater than the premium originally paid, the Fund has completed a successful hedge.

LIMITATION ON OPEN FUTURES POSITIONS. A Fund will not maintain open positions in futures contracts it has sold or call options it has written on futures contracts if together the value of the open positions exceeds the current market value of the Fund’s portfolio plus or minus the unrealized gain or loss on those open positions, adjusted for the correlation of volatility between the hedged securities and the futures contracts. If this limitation is exceeded at any time, the Fund will take prompt action to close out a sufficient number of open contracts to bring its open futures and options positions within this limitation.

PURCHASING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS ON SECURITIES. A Fund may purchase put options on portfolio securities to protect against price movements in the Fund’s portfolio. A put option gives the Fund, in return for a premium, the right to sell the underlying security to the writer (seller) at a specified price during the term of the option. A Fund may purchase call options on securities acceptable for purchase to protect against price movements by locking in on a purchase price for the underlying security. A call option gives the Fund, in return for a premium, the right to buy the underlying security from the seller at a specified price during the term of the option.

WRITING COVERED CALL AND PUT OPTIONS ON SECURITIES. A Fund may write covered call and put options to generate income and thereby protect against price movements in the Fund’s portfolio securities. As writer of a call option, the Fund has the obligation, upon exercise of the option during the option period, to deliver the underlying security upon payment of the exercise price. The Fund may only sell call options either on securities held in its portfolio or on securities which it has the right to obtain without payment of further consideration (or has segregated cash or U.S. government securities in the amount of any additional consideration). As a writer of a put option, the Fund has the obligation to purchase a security from the purchaser of the option upon the exercise of the option. In the case of put options, the Fund will segregate cash or U.S. Treasury obligations with a value equal to or greater than the exercise price of the underlying securities.

STOCK INDEX OPTIONS. A Fund may purchase or sell put or call options on stock indices listed on national securities exchanges or traded in the over-the-counter market. A stock index fluctuates with changes in the market values of the stocks included in the index. Upon the exercise of the option, the holder of a call option has the right to receive, and the writer of a put option has the obligation to deliver, a cash payment equal to the difference between the closing price of the index and the exercise price of the option. The effectiveness of purchasing stock index options will depend upon the extent to which price movements in the Fund’s portfolio correlate with price movements of the stock index selected. The value of an index option depends upon movements in the level of the index rather than the price of a particular stock. Accordingly, successful use by a Fund of options on stock indices will be subject to the Adviser correctly predicting movements in the directions of the stock market generally or of a particular industry. This requires different skills and techniques than predicting changes in the price of individual stocks.

OVER-THE-COUNTER OPTIONS. Over-the-counter options are two-party contracts with price and terms negotiated between buyer and seller. In contrast, exchange-traded options are third-party contracts with standardized strike prices and expiration dates and are purchased from a clearing corporation. Exchange-traded options have a continuous liquid market while over-the-counter options may not. A Fund may generally purchase and write over-the-counter options on portfolio securities or securities indices in negotiated transactions with the buyers or writers of the options when options on the Fund’s portfolio securities or securities indices are not traded on an exchange. The Fund purchases and writes options only with investment dealers and other financial institutions deemed creditworthy by the Adviser.

LINKED OR HYBRID INSTRUMENTS. The Real Return Fund may invest in linked or hybrid instruments. They typically combine a traditional stock, bond, or commodity with an option or forward contract. Generally, the principal amount, amount payable upon maturity or redemption, or interest rate of a hybrid instrument is tied to the price of some commodity, currency or securities index or another interest rate or some other economic factor (a “benchmark”). The interest rate or the principal amount payable at maturity of a hybrid instrument may be increased or decreased, depending on changes in the value of the benchmark.

These instruments can be used as a means of pursuing a variety of investment goals, including currency hedging, duration management, and increased total return. Hybrid instruments may not bear interest or pay dividends. The

value of a hybrid instrument or its interest rate may be a multiple of a benchmark and, as a result, may be leveraged and move more steeply and rapidly than the benchmark. These benchmarks may be sensitive to economic and political events, such as commodity shortages and currency devaluations, which cannot be readily foreseen by the purchaser of a linked or hybrid instrument. Under certain conditions, the redemption value of a hybrid instrument could be zero. Thus, an investment in a linked or hybrid instrument may entail significant market risks that are not associated with a similar investment in a traditional, U.S. dollar-denomination bond that has a fixed principal amount and pays a fixed rate or floating rate of interest. The purchase of linked or hybrid instruments also exposes the Fund to the credit risk of the issuer of the linked or hybrid instrument. These risks may cause significant fluctuations in the net asset value of the Fund.

ROYALTY TRUSTS. Royalty trusts are structured similarly to REITs. A royalty trust generally acquires an interest in natural resource companies or chemical companies and distributes the income it receives to the investors of the royalty trust. A part or all of the income distributed to investors may be tax deferred.

TRAKRS. Total Return Asset Contracts, also referred to as TRAKRS, are nontraditional futures contracts designed to enable investors to track a broad-based index of stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies or other asset classes. Unlike traditional investments, TRAKRS do not require a Fund to purchase and sell stocks, bonds or other assets which causes the Fund to incur costs and subject investors to potential adverse tax consequences. TRAKRS are futures contracts that are designed to track the performance of a particular index fund and do not make taxable distributions to investors. TRAKRS differ from future contracts in that an investor would pay 100% of the TRAKRS market value at the time of purchase and would not be subject to margin calls throughout the life of the specific investment.

RISKS. When a Fund uses futures and options on futures as hedging devices, there is a risk that the prices of the securities or foreign currency subject to the futures contracts may not correlate perfectly with the prices of the securities or currency in the Fund’s portfolio. This may cause the futures contract and any related options to react differently to market changes than the portfolio securities or foreign currency. In addition, the Adviser could be incorrect in its expectations about the direction or extent of market factors such as stock price movements or foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. In these events, the Fund may lose money on the futures contract or option.

When a Fund purchases futures contracts, it will maintain, at a minimum, an amount of cash and/or cash equivalents, equal to the underlying commodity value of the futures contracts to “collateralize” the position and insure that the futures contracts are covered. The Fund is also required to deposit and maintain margin when it writes call options on futures contracts.

HIGH YIELD SECURITIES. All Funds except the Global Small Cap Fund and the Municipal Bond Fund may invest in high yield securities. The issuers of debt obligations having speculative characteristics may experience difficulty in paying principal and interest when due in the event of a downturn in the economy or unanticipated corporate developments. The market prices of such securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”) may become increasingly volatile in periods of economic uncertainty. Moreover, adverse publicity or the perceptions of investors over which the Adviser has no control, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, may decrease the market price and liquidity of such investments. Although the Adviser will attempt to avoid exposing each Fund to such risks, there is no assurance that it will be successful or that a liquid secondary market will continue to be available for the disposition of such securities. The Large Cap Equity Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund, International Fund, and Fixed Income Fund may purchase or hold not more than 5% of its net assets in securities rated below investment grade (but not lower than the sixth highest rating). The Municipal Bond Fund will not invest in securities rated below investment grade.

The market for unrated securities may not be as liquid as the market for rated securities, which may result in depressed prices for the Funds in the disposal of such nonrated securities. There is no established secondary

market for many of these securities. The Adviser cannot anticipate whether these securities could be sold other than to institutional investors. There is frequently no secondary market for the resale of those debt obligations that are in default. The limited market for these securities may affect the amount actually realized by each Fund upon such sale. Such sale may result in a loss to each Fund. There are certain risks involved in applying credit ratings as a method of evaluating high yield securities. For example, while credit rating agencies evaluate the safety of principal and interest payments, they do not evaluate the market risk of the securities and the securities may decrease in value as a result of credit developments.

Lower rated and nonrated securities tend to offer higher yields than higher rated securities with the same maturities because the creditworthiness of the obligors of lower rated securities may not have been as strong as that of other issuers. Since there is a general perception that there are greater risks associated with the lower-rated securities in each Fund, the yields and prices of such securities tend to fluctuate more with changes in the perceived quality of the credit of their obligors. In addition, the market value of high yield securities may fluctuate more than the market value of higher rated securities since high yield securities tend to reflect short-term market developments to a greater extent than higher rated securities, which fluctuate primarily in response to the general level of interest rates, assuming that there has been no change in the fundamental credit quality of such securities. High yield securities are also more sensitive to adverse economic changes and events affecting specific issuers than are higher rated securities. Periods of economic uncertainty can be expected to result in increased market price volatility of the high yield securities. High yield securities may also be directly and adversely affected by variables such as interest rates, unemployment rates, inflation rates and real growth in the economy and may be more susceptible to variables such as adverse publicity and negative investor perception than are more highly rated securities, particularly in a limited secondary market. Lower rated securities generally involve greater risks of loss of income and principal than higher rated securities. The obligors of lower rated securities possess less creditworthy characteristics than the obligors of higher rated securities, as is evidenced by those securities that have experienced a downgrading in rating or that are in default. The evaluation of the price of such securities is highly speculative and volatile. As such, these evaluations are very sensitive to the latest available public information relating to developments concerning such securities.

ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The Funds may purchase securities which are subject to legal or contractual delays, restrictions, and costs on resale. Because of time limitations, the Funds might not be able to dispose of these securities at reasonable prices or at times advantageous to the Fund. The Fund intends to limit the purchase of restricted securities which have not been determined by the Adviser to be liquid, together with other securities considered to be illiquid, including repurchase agreements providing for settlement in more than seven days after notice, to not more than 15% of its net assets.

INVERSE FLOATERS. The Real Return Fund and the Fixed Income Fund may invest in inverse floaters. Certain securities issued by agencies of the U.S. government (agency securities) that include a class bearing a floating rate of interest also may include a class whose yield floats inversely against a specified index rate. These “inverse floaters” are more volatile than conventional fixed income or floating rate classes of an agency security and the yield thereon, as well as the value thereof, will fluctuate in inverse proportion to changes in the index on which interest rate adjustments are based. As a result, the yield on an inverse floater class of an agency security will generally increase when market yields (as reflected by the index) decrease and decrease when market yields increase. The extent of the volatility of inverse floaters depends on the extent of anticipated changes in market rates of interest. Generally, inverse floaters provide for interest rate adjustments based upon a multiple of the specified interest index, which further increases their volatility. The degree of additional volatility will be directly proportional to the size of the multiple used in determining interest rate adjustments.

LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. In order to generate additional income, a Fund may lend portfolio securities to securities broker-dealers or financial institutions if: (1) the loan is collateralized in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements including collateralization continuously at no less than 100% by marking to market daily; (2) the loan is subject to termination by a Fund at any time; (3) a Fund receives reasonable interest or fee payments on the loan; (4) a Fund is able to exercise all voting rights with respect to the loaned securities; and (5) the loan will not cause the value of all loaned securities to exceed one-third of the value of a Fund’s assets.

If the borrower fails to maintain the requisite amount of collateral, the loan automatically terminates and a Fund can use the collateral to replace the securities while holding the borrower liable for any excess of replacement cost over the value of the collateral. As with any extension of credit, there are risks of delay in recovery and in some cases even loss of rights in collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. In addition, if a Fund is unable to get the securities back on a timely basis, the Fund may lose certain investment opportunities. The Funds are also subject to the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, usually fixed-income securities risk. The International Fund does not currently intend to lend portfolio securities in excess of 5% of its total assets.

MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS. The Funds may invest in money market instruments including obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities, other short-term debt securities, commercial paper, bank obligations and money market mutual funds.

MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES. The Fixed Income Fund and Real Return Fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities. Generally, homeowners have the option to prepay their mortgages at any time without penalty. Homeowners frequently refinance high rate mortgages when mortgage rates fall. This results in the prepayment of mortgage-backed securities, which deprives holders of the securities of the higher yields. Conversely, when mortgage rates increase, prepayments due to refinancings decline. This extends the life of mortgage-backed securities with lower yields. As a result, increases in prepayments of premium mortgage backed securities, or decreases in prepayments of discount mortgage-backed securities, may reduce their yield and price.

This relationship between interest rates and mortgage prepayments makes the price of mortgage-backed securities more volatile than most other types of fixed income securities with comparable credit risks. Mortgage-backed securities tend to pay higher yields to compensate for this volatility.

COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS (CMOs). The following example illustrates how mortgage cash flows are prioritized in the case of CMOs - most of the CMOs in which the Fixed Income Fund invests use the same basic structure: (1) Several classes of securities are issued against a pool of mortgage collateral (A common structure may contain four classes of securities. The first three (A, B, and C bonds) pay interest at their stated rates beginning with the issue date, and the final class (Z bond) typically receives any excess income from the underlying investments after payments are made to the other classes and receives no principal or interest payments until the shorter maturity classes have been retired, but then receives all remaining principal and interest payments) (2) The cash flows from the underlying mortgages are applied first to pay interest and then to retire securities; (3) The classes of securities are retired sequentially. All principal payments are directed first to the shortest-maturity class (or A bond). When those securities are completely retired, all principal payments are then directed to the next shortest-maturity security (or B bond). This process continues until all of the classes have been paid off.

Because the cash flow is distributed sequentially instead of pro rata, as with pass-through securities, the cash flows and average lives of CMOs are more predictable, and there is a period of time during which the investors in the longer-maturity classes receive no principal pay downs. The interest portion of these payments is distributed by the Funds as income, and the capital portion is reinvested.

MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. The Real Return Fund, Fixed Income Fund, and Municipal Bond Fund may invest in Municipal Securities. Municipal securities are generally issued to finance public works such as airports, bridges, highways, housing, hospitals, mass transportation projects, schools, streets, and water and sewer works. They are also issued to repay outstanding obligations, to raise funds for general operating expenses, and to make loans to other public institutions and facilities.

Municipal securities include industrial development bonds issued by or on behalf of public authorities to provide financing aid to acquire sites or construct and equip facilities for privately or publicly owned corporations. The availability of this financing encourages these corporations to locate within the sponsoring communities and thereby increases local employment.

The two principal classifications of municipal securities are “general obligation” and “revenue” bonds. General obligation bonds are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith and credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Interest on and principal of revenue bonds, however, are payable only from the revenue generated by the facility financed by the bond or other specified sources of revenue. Revenue bonds do not represent a pledge of credit or create any debt of or charge against the general revenues of a municipality or public authority. Industrial development bonds are typically classified as revenue bonds.

MUNICIPAL LEASES. Municipal leases are obligations issued by state and local governments or authorities to finance the acquisition of equipment and facilities and may be considered illiquid. They may take the form of a lease, an installment purchase contract, or a conditional sales contract.

Lease obligations may be limited by municipal charter or the nature of the appropriation for the lease. In particular, lease obligations may be subject to periodic appropriation. If the entity does not appropriate funds for future lease payments, the entity cannot be compelled to make such payments. Furthermore, a lease may provide that the participants cannot accelerate lease obligations upon default. The participant can only enforce lease payments as they became due. In the event of a default or failure of appropriation, unless the participation interests are credit enhanced, it is unlikely that the participants will be able to obtain an acceptable substitute source of payment.

VARIABLE RATE MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. A Fund may purchase municipal securities that have variable interest rates. Variable interest rates are ordinarily stated as a percentage of a published interest rate, interest rate index, or some similar standard, such as the 91-day U.S. Treasury bill rate.

Many variable rate municipal securities are subject to payment of principal on demand by the Fund usually in not more than seven days. All variable rate municipal securities will meet the quality standards for the Fund.

MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE. The Municipal Bond Fund may purchase municipal securities covered by insurance which guarantees the timely payment of principal at maturity and interest (but not the value of the bonds before they mature) on such securities. These insured municipal securities are either (1) covered by an insurance policy applicable to a particular security, whether obtained by the issuer of the security or by a third party (Issuer-Obtained Insurance) or (2) insured under master insurance policies issued by municipal bond insurers, which may be purchased by the Fund. The premiums for the policies may be paid by the Fund and the yield on the Fund’s investments may be reduced thereby.

The Fund may require or obtain municipal bond insurance when purchasing municipal securities which would not otherwise meet the Fund’s quality standards. The Fund may also require or obtain municipal bond insurance when purchasing or holding specific municipal securities, when, in the opinion of the Fund’s Adviser, such insurance would benefit the Fund (for example, through improvement of portfolio quality or increased liquidity of certain securities). Issuer-Obtained Insurance policies are noncancelable and continue in force as long as the municipal securities are outstanding and their respective insurers remain in business. If a municipal security is covered by Issuer-Obtained Insurance, then such security need not be insured by the policies purchased by the Fund.

PARTICIPATION INTERESTS. The Real Return Fund and Municipal Bond Fund may purchase participation interests from financial institutions such as commercial banks, savings associations, and insurance companies. These participation interests give the Fund an undivided interest in municipal securities. The financial institutions from which the Fund purchases participation interests frequently provide or secure irrevocable letters of credit or guarantees to assure that the participation interests are of high quality. The Directors will determine that participation interests meet the prescribed quality standards of the Fund.

PREFERRED STOCKS. All funds except the Fixed Income Fund and the Municipal Bond Fund may invest in preferred stocks. Preferred stocks have the right to receive specified dividends or distributions before the payment of dividends or distributions on common stock. Some preferred stocks also participate in dividends and distributions paid on common stock. Preferred stocks may provide for the issuer to redeem the stock on a specified date. A Fund may treat such redeemable preferred stock as a fixed income security.

REITs. The Global Small Cap Fund and the Real Return Fund may invest in REITs. Real estate investment trusts, or REITs, are pooled investment vehicles that own, and usually operate, income-producing real estate. Some REITs also finance real estate. If a REIT meets certain requirements under the Code, including distributing to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income (other than net capital gains), then it is not taxed on the income distributed to shareholders for federal income tax purposes. Therefore, REITs tend to pay higher dividends than other issuers.

REITs can be divided into three basic types: Equity REITs, Mortgage REITs and Hybrid REITs. Equity REITs invest the majority of their assets directly in real property. They derive their income primarily from rents received and any profits on the sale of their properties. Mortgage REITs invest the majority of their assets in real estate mortgages and derive most of their income from mortgage interest payments. As its name suggests, Hybrid REITs combine characteristics of both Equity REITs and Mortgage REITs.

An investment in a REIT is subject to the risks that impact the value of the underlying assets of the REIT. These risks include loss to casualty or condemnation, and changes in supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. Other factors that may adversely affect REITs include poor performance by management of the REIT, changes to the tax laws, or failure by the REIT to qualify for preferential treatment under the Code. REITs are also subject to default by borrowers and self-liquidation, and are heavily dependent on cash flow. Some REITs lack diversification because they invest in a limited number of properties, a narrow geographic area, or a single type of property. Mortgage REITs may be impacted by the quality of the credit extended, inflation, and changes in market interest rates.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. A repurchase agreement is an instrument under which the purchaser (i.e., a Fund) acquires a debt security and the seller agrees, at the time of the sale, to repurchase the obligation at a mutually agreed upon time and price, thereby determining the yield during the purchaser’s holding period. This results in a fixed rate of return insulated from market fluctuations during such period. The underlying securities are ordinarily U.S. Treasury or other government obligations or high quality money market instruments. A Fund will require that the value of such underlying securities, together with any other collateral held by the Fund, always equals or exceeds the amount of the repurchase obligations of the vendor. While the maturities of the underlying securities in repurchase agreement transactions may be more than one year, the term of such repurchase agreement will always be less than one year. A Fund’s risk is primarily that, if the seller defaults, the proceeds from the disposition of underlying securities and other collateral for the seller’s obligation are less than the repurchase price. If the seller becomes bankrupt, the Fund might be delayed in selling the collateral. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), repurchase agreements are considered loans. Repurchase agreements usually are for short periods, such as one week or less, but could be longer. A Fund will not enter into repurchase agreements of a duration of more than seven days if, taken together with other illiquid securities, more than 15% of the Fund’s net assets would be so invested. Under normal market conditions, the Funds do not intend to purchase repurchase agreements in excess of 5% of that Fund’s net assets.

SHARES OF OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES. The Funds may invest their assets in securities of other investment companies as an efficient means of carrying out their investment policies. Investment companies incur certain expenses, such as management fees, and, therefore, any investment by the Funds in shares of other investment companies may be subject to such duplicate expenses.

SMALL AND MID CAPITALIZATION STOCKS. The Large Cap Equity Fund, the Mid-Cap Equity Fund, the International Fund, the Global Small Cap Fund, and the Real Return Fund may invest in small and mid capitalization markets. Small capitalization companies (“Small-Cap Companies”) generally are those with market capitalizations of less than $2.6 billion at the time of purchase. Many Small-Cap Companies will have had their securities publicly traded, if at all, for only a short period of time and will not have had the opportunity to establish a reliable trading pattern through economic cycles. Investing in small and mid capitalization stocks may involve greater risk than investing in large capitalization stocks and more established companies, since they can be subject to greater volatility. The price volatility of Small-Cap Companies is relatively higher than larger, more mature companies. The greater price volatility of Small-Cap Companies may result from the fact that there may be

less market liquidity, less information publicly available or few investors who monitor the activities of these companies. Further, in addition to exhibiting greater volatility, the stocks of Small-Cap Companies may, to some degree, fluctuate independently of the stocks of large companies. That is, the stocks of Small-Cap Companies may decline in price as the price of large company stocks rise or vice versa. In addition, the market prices of these securities may exhibit more sensitivity to changes in industry or general economic conditions. Some Small-Cap Companies will not have been in existence long enough to experience economic cycles or to know whether they are sufficiently well managed to survive downturns or inflationary periods. Further, a variety of factors may affect the success of a company’s business beyond the ability of its management to prepare or compensate for them, including domestic and international political developments, government trade and fiscal policies, patterns of trade and war or other military conflict which may affect particular industries, markets or the economy generally.

Mid capitalization companies (“Mid-Cap Companies”) are generally those with market capitalizations between $2 billion and $8 billion at the time of purchase. The risks associated with investments in Mid-Cap Companies are similar to those associated with Small-Cap Companies as discussed above.

SHORT SALES. The Large Cap Equity Fund, the Global Small Cap Fund and the Real Return Fund may make short sales. A short sale occurs when a borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in its price. If the decline occurs, shares equal in number to those sold short can be purchased at the lower price. If the price increases, the higher price must be paid. The purchased shares are then returned to the original lender. Risk arises because no loss limit can be placed on the transaction. When the Fund enters into a short sale, assets equal to the market price of the securities sold short or any lesser price at which the Fund can obtain such securities, are segregated on the Fund’s records and maintained until the Fund meets its obligations under the short sale.

The Fund will not sell securities short unless it (1) owns, or has a right to acquire, an equal amount of such securities, or (2) has segregated an amount of its other assets equal to the lesser of the market value of the securities sold short or the amount required to acquire such securities. The segregated amount will not exceed 25% of the Fund’s net assets. While in a short position, the Fund will retain the securities, rights, or segregated assets. Short selling may accelerate the recognition of gains.

SWAP AGREEMENTS. The Real Return Fund may enter into swap agreements for the purpose of attempting to obtain a particular desired return at a lower cost to the Fund than if the Fund had invested directly in a security that yielded or produced that desired return. These instruments also may be used for tax and/or cash management purposes. Swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks to more than one year. In a standard “swap” transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a “notional amount,” i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a particular security, or at a particular interest rate, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index. The “notional amount” of the swap agreement is only a fictitious basis on which to calculate the obligations which the parties to a swap agreement have agreed to exchange. The Fund’s obligations (or rights) under a swap agreement will generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative values of the positions held by each party to the agreement. The Fund’s obligations under a swap agreement will be accrued daily (offset against any amounts owing to the Fund) and any accrued but unpaid net amounts owed to a swap counterparty will be covered by the maintenance of a segregated account consisting of cash, U.S government securities, or high grade debt obligations, to limit any potential leveraging of the Fund’s portfolio.

Whether the Fund’s use of swap agreements will be successful in furthering its investment objective will depend on the ability of the Adviser correctly to predict whether certain types of investments are likely to produce greater returns than other investments. Because they are two-party contracts and may have terms of greater than seven days, swap agreements may be considered to be illiquid. Moreover, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the

amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty. The Adviser will cause the Fund to enter into swap agreements only with counterparties that would be eligible for consideration as repurchase agreement counterparties under the Fund’s repurchase agreement guidelines. Certain positions adopted by the Internal Revenue Service may limit the Fund’s ability to use swap agreements in a desired tax strategy. The swap market is a relatively new market and is largely unregulated. It is possible that developments in the swap market and the laws relating to swaps, including potential government regulation, could adversely effect the Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements, to realize amounts to be received under such agreements, or to enter into swap agreements, or could have adverse tax consequences.

U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. The Funds may invest in U.S. government securities which include:

•

direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, such as U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and bonds;

•

notes, bonds and discount notes issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities supported by the full faith and credit of the United States;

•

notes, bonds and discount notes of U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities which receive or have access to federal funding; and

•

notes, bonds and discount notes of other U.S. government instrumentalities supported by the credit of the instrumentalities.

Some obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. No assurances can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support to other agencies or instrumentalities, since it is not obligated to do so. These instrumentalities are supported by:

•

the issuer’s right to borrow an amount limited to a specific line of credit from the U.S. Treasury;

•

the discretionary authority of the U.S. government to purchase certain obligations of an agency or instrumentality; or

•

the credit of the agency or instrumentality.

TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS. Each Fund may hold cash or money market instruments. It may invest in these securities without limit, when the Adviser: (i) believes that the market conditions are not favorable for profitable investing; (ii) is unable to locate favorable investment opportunities; or (iii) determines that a temporary defensive position is advisable or necessary in order to meet anticipated redemption requests, or for other reasons.

When a Fund engages in such strategies, it may not achieve its investment objective.

Money market instruments are high-quality, short-term debt obligations, which include, but are not limited to: (i) U.S. Government obligations (i.e., a wide range of debt securities that include U.S. Treasury obligations, securities issued or guaranteed by various agencies of the U.S. government or by various instrumentalities which have been established or sponsored by the U.S. government); (ii) certain corporate debt securities (e.g., commercial paper and master notes (which are generally understood to be unsecured obligations of a firm, often private and/or unrated, privately negotiated by borrower and lender)); (iii) bank obligations (e.g., certificates of deposit, time deposits and bankers’ acceptances); (iv), pass-through certificates or participation interests; (v) short-term taxable municipal securities; (vi) repurchase agreements; and (vii) money market funds (i.e., funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act).

Money market instruments are generally regarded to be of high quality. However, except for certain U.S. Government obligations, they are not backed or insured by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. Accordingly, only the creditworthiness of an issuer, or guarantees of that issuer, support such instruments.

VARIABLE RATE DEMAND NOTES. Variable rate demand notes are long-term corporate debt instruments that have variable or floating interest rates and provide a Fund with the right to tender the security for repurchase

at its stated principal amount plus accrued interest. Such securities typically bear interest at a rate that is intended to cause the securities to trade at par. The interest rate may float or be adjusted at regular intervals (ranging from daily to annually), and is normally based on an interest rate index or a published interest rate. Many variable rate demand notes allow a Fund to demand the repurchase of the security on not more than seven days prior notice. Other notes only permit a Fund to tender the security at the time of each interest rate adjustment or at other fixed intervals.

WARRANTS. All Funds except the Fixed Income Fund and the Municipal Bond Fund may invest in warrants. Warrants give a Fund the option to buy the issuer’s stock or other equity securities at a specified price. The Fund may buy the designated shares by paying the exercise price before the warrant expires. Warrants may become worthless if the price of the stock does not rise above the exercise price by the expiration date. Rights are the same as warrants, except they are typically issued to existing stockholders. The Funds do not intend to purchase warrants and rights in excess of 5% of each Fund’s total assets.

WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. These transactions are made to secure what is considered to be an advantageous price or yield. Settlement dates may be a month or more after entering into these transactions, and the market values of the securities purchased may vary from the purchase prices. Other than normal transaction costs, no fees or expenses are incurred. However, liquid assets of a Fund are segregated on a Fund’s records at the trade date in an amount sufficient to make payment for the securities to be purchased. These assets are marked to market daily and are maintained until the transaction has been settled.

ZERO COUPON BONDS. The Fixed Income Fund and Real Return Fund may invest in zero coupon bonds. These are bonds which are sold at a discount to their stated value and do not pay any periodic interest.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS

The following investment limitations are fundamental and cannot be changed unless approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation. The term “majority of outstanding shares” as defined by the 1940 Act means the vote of the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the shares of the Corporation present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation are present or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation. The Funds may not:

1. Purchase securities on margin or borrow money, except (a) from banks for extraordinary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements, provided that (a) and (b) in the aggregate do not exceed an amount equal to one-third of the value of the total assets of a Fund less its liabilities (not including the amount borrowed) at the time of the borrowing, and further provided that 300% asset coverage is maintained at all times, and except that a deposit or payment by such Fund of initial or variation margin in connection with futures contracts or related options transactions is not considered the purchase of a security on margin.

2. Lend portfolio securities of value exceeding in the aggregate one-third of the market value of a Fund’s total assets less liabilities other than obligations created by these transactions.

3. Mortgage, pledge or hypothecate any assets except that a Fund may pledge not more than one-third of its total assets to secure borrowings made in accordance with paragraph 1 above. With respect to the Large Cap Equity Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund, Fixed Income Fund, Global Small Cap Fund, Real Return Fund and Municipal Bond Fund, initial or variation margin for futures contracts will not be deemed to be pledges of a Fund’s assets.

4. Act as an underwriter of securities of other issuers, except insofar as a Fund may be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in disposing of a portfolio security.

5. With respect to the Large Cap Equity Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund, Fixed Income Fund, International Fund and Municipal Bond Fund, purchase or otherwise acquire interests in real estate, real estate mortgage loans or interests, including limited partnership interests, in oil, gas or other mineral exploration, leasing or development programs.

6. With respect to the Large Cap Equity Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund, Fixed Income Fund, International Fund and Municipal Bond Fund, purchase or acquire commodities, commodity contracts or futures, except for the International Fund which may purchase and write options on foreign currencies or enter into forward delivery contracts for foreign currencies and may also purchase foreign index contracts, and the Large Cap Equity Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund, Fixed Income Fund and Municipal Bond Fund may enter into financial futures contracts.

7. Issue senior securities, except insofar as the Funds may be deemed to have issued a senior security in connection with any permitted borrowing.

8. With respect to the Large Cap Equity Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund, International Fund, Global Small Cap Fund, Real Return Fund and Fixed Income Fund, each Fund will not invest 25% or more of the value of its total assets in any particular industry; and with respect to the Municipal Bond Fund, the Fund will not invest 25% or more of the value of its total assets in any one industry or in industrial development bonds or other securities, the interest on which is paid from reverse as of similar type projects.

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

10. With respect to 75% of the total assets of a Fund, except for the Real Return Fund, invest more than 5% of the value of the Fund’s total assets in any one issuer; and no Fund may own 10% or more of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer. With respect to the Real Return Fund, invest more than 25% of the value of the Real

Return Fund’s total assets in any one issuer, and with respect to 50% of the Real Return Fund’s total assets, invest more than 5% of the value of the Real Return Fund’s total assets in any one issuer.

NON-FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS

The following are investment restrictions that may be changed by a vote of the majority of the Board of Directors. The Funds may not:

1. Invest more than 15% of the market value of each Fund’s net assets in illiquid investments including repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days.

2. Invest in securities of other investment companies, except that (i) not more than 5% of the value of a Fund’s total assets may be invested in the securities of any one investment company, (ii) not more than 10% of the value of its total assets may be invested in the aggregate in securities of investment companies as a group, and (iii) not more than 3% of the outstanding voting stock of any one investment company may be owned by the Fund, except as such securities may be acquired as part of a merger, consolidation or acquisition of assets and further, except as may be permitted by Section 12(d) of the 1940 Act or except as may be permitted by the SEC. Each Fund will limit its investments in securities of other investment companies consistent with the Fund’s investment policies.

3. Purchase securities while borrowings exceed 5% of its total assets.

4. Invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control.

If a percentage restriction (except paragraph 3 of the fundamental restrictions) is adhered to at the time an investment is made, a later change in percentage resulting from changes in the value of a Fund’s investment securities will not be considered a violation of a Fund’s restrictions.

The Corporation has an Audit Committee, consisting of Independent Directors, currently Messrs. Beard and Kaufman and Ms. Francy. As set forth in its charter, the primary duties of the Corporation’s Audit Committee are: (1) to recommend to the Board auditors to be retained for the next fiscal year; (2) to meet with the Corporation’s independent auditors as necessary; (3) to consider the effect upon each Fund of any changes in accounting principles or practices proposed by BIM or the auditors; (4) to review the fees charged by the auditors for audit and non-audit services; (5) to investigate improprieties or suspected improprieties in Fund operations; (6) to review the findings of SEC examinations and consult with BIM on appropriate responses; and (7) to report its activities to the full Board on a regular basis and to make such recommendations with respect to the above and other matters as the Audit Committee may deem necessary or appropriate. The Audit Committee met four times during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005.

The Corporation also has a Nominating and Governance Committee that is composed of the Independent Directors. The Nominating and Governance Committee’s primary responsibilities are to nominate Director candidates when there is a vacancy on the Board and to oversee the structure, compensation and operation of the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee does consider nominees from shareholders. The Nominating and Governance Committee met once during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005. As of February 8, 2006 the Nominating and Governance Committee was separated into two separate committees, the Nominating Committee and the Governance Committee.

As of January 31, 2006, the Directors and officers of the Corporation, as a group, own less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Funds.

Code of Ethics. The Corporation, the Adviser, the Sub-Advisers and the Distributor have each adopted a Code of Ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act. The Codes of Ethics for these entities (the “Codes”) restrict the personal investing activities of certain Access Persons (as defined in Rule 17j-1) and others, as defined in the Codes. The primary purpose of the Codes is to ensure that these investing activities do not disadvantage the Funds. Such Access Persons are generally required to pre-clear security transactions (which may include securities purchased by the Funds ) with the entities’ Compliance Officer or his designee and to report all transactions on a regular basis. The Compliance Officer or designee has the responsibility for interpreting the provisions of the Codes, for adopting and implementing Procedures for the enforcement of the provisions of the Codes, and for determining whether a violation has occurred. In the event of a finding that a violation has occurred, the Compliance Officer or designee shall take appropriate action. The Corporation, the Adviser and the Distributor have developed procedures for administration of the Codes.

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND SUB-ADVISERS

The Adviser conducts investment research and makes investment decisions for the Funds. The Funds’ investment adviser is Bessemer Investment Management LLC (“BIM”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bessemer Trust Company, N.A. (“Bessemer”), which is a national banking association. The Adviser is a registered investment adviser, formed by Bessemer on May 2, 2001, to conduct all of its advisory and research activities. Prior to May 2, 2001, these activities were performed by Bessemer pursuant to an Advisory Contract for each Fund. Pursuant to an Assumption Agreement between the Corporation, Bessemer and BIM, BIM assumed all duties and obligations under each Fund’s Advisory Contract from Bessemer on May 2, 2001 (collectively, the “Advisory Contracts”).

For its services under the Advisory Contracts, the Adviser receives an Advisory Fee from each Fund, computed daily and payable monthly, in accordance with the following schedule:


	First $500* million of average net assets		Second $500 million of average net assets**		Average net assets exceeding $1 billion***
Large Cap Equity Fund	0.70	%	0.65	%	0.60	%
Mid Cap Equity Fund	0.70	%	0.65	%	0.60	%
International Fund	0.80	%	0.75	%	0.70	%
Fixed Income Fund	0.45	%	0.40	%	0.35	%
Municipal Bond Fund	0.45	%	0.40	%	0.35	%


	Average Net Assets
Global Small Cap Fund	0.85	%
Real Return Fund	0.85	%

The Adviser may choose voluntarily to reimburse a portion of its fee at any time. See “Fees Paid by the Funds for Services” for payments to the Adviser over the last three fiscal years.

The Adviser shall not be liable to the Corporation, the Funds, or any Fund shareholder for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding, or sale of any security or for anything done or omitted by it, except acts or omissions involving willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties imposed upon it by its contract with the Corporation.

Since October 2001, the Adviser has retained its affiliate Bessemer Group (U.K.) Limited (“BGUK”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bessemer Trust N.A., as sub-adviser to the International Fund pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement between BIM and BGUK, agreed to and accepted by the Corporation (the “BGUK Sub-Advisory Contract”). Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreement, BGUK will, subject to BIM’s determination that proposed investments satisfy the investment objectives and policies of the International Fund, make recommendations with respect to all proposed purchases and sales of portfolio securities. Under the Agreement BIM will pay BGUK a fee as follows: 0.55% on the first $500 million of average net assets; 0.45% on the second $500 million of average net assets; and 0.35% for the average net assets in excess of $1 billion.

Under the investment advisory agreement between the Global Small Cap Fund and the Adviser, the Adviser is responsible for directly managing the assets of the Fund or allocating the Fund’s assets to and among any investment sub-advisers to the Fund. Currently, two sub-advisers each manage a portion of the Fund’s assets (each a “segment”). Since March 16, 2005, the Adviser retained Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc. (“DFA”) as sub-adviser to the Global Small Cap Fund pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement between BIM and DFA, agreed to and accepted by the Corporation (the “DFA Sub-Advisory contract). Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreement, DFA will, subject to BIM’s determination that proposed investments satisfy the investment objectives and policies of the Global Small Cap Fund, make purchases and sales of portfolio securities for that portion of the Fund’s assets allocated to their management. Under the Agreement, BIM will pay DFA a fee as follows: 0.60% on the first $100 million of average net assets; 0.44% on the next $300 million of the average net assets; 0.33% on the next $100 million of average net assets; and 0.44% for the average net assets in excess of $500 million. The fees of DFA are paid for by the Adviser from the fees it receives from the Fund.

*	Prior to September 1, 2005, the breakpoint was $100 million.

**	Prior to September 1, 2005, the breakpoint was the second $100 million.

***	Prior to September 1, 2005, the breakpoint was over $200 million.

Effective December 30, 2005, the Adviser retained Champlain Investment Partners, LLC (“Champlain”) to manage a segment of the Fund pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Champlain. Under the Champlain Agreement, Champlain is entitled to receive from the Adviser an annual investment sub-advisory fee at the following rate, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund’s assets managed by it: 0.80% on all assets up to and including $50 million; 0.75% on all assets after the initial time assets exceed $50 million, up to and including $100 million; and 0.57% on all assets after the initial time assets exceed $100 million. The fees of Champlain are paid for by the Adviser from the fees it receives from the Fund.

*	BIM and BGUK portfolio managers maintain exposure to the foregoing investment strategies through investment of their deferred compensation profit sharing account balances in bank portfolios with substantially the

same investment objectives and strategies as the Funds. The portfolio managers provided investment advisory services for such portfolios

Compensation of Portfolio Managers

BIM. The Adviser’s portfolio managers are generally responsible for providing investment advisory services for multiple types of accounts with similar investment objectives, strategies, risks and fees. Portfolio managers responsible for managing a Fund generally will also provide investment advisory services with respect to bank common and collective funds, separately managed accounts and model portfolios. The Adviser compensates portfolio managers with respect to their overall contribution and not with respect to the performance of any single account type.

The Adviser’s portfolio managers receive compensation comprised of an annual base salary, annual cash bonus, deferred cash bonus and, in some cases, restricted stock or stock appreciation rights awards granted by an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser’s portfolio managers also participate in a deferred compensation profit sharing plan and a defined benefit pension plan, as well as other medical and insurance coverage programs, of affiliates of the Adviser. The annual base salaries for portfolio managers are determined on the basis of relevant industry salary data and are intended to be competitive. Annual cash bonus awards are based upon a combination of qualitative and quantitative factors, including performance of the portfolios advised by the portfolio manager, generation and development of new investment ideas, willingness to develop and share ideas as part of a team and contributions to the development of the Adviser’s investment team. The deferred cash bonus is a fixed percentage of the annual cash bonus and is generally paid over a three-year period. Currently, all portfolio managers participate in a stock appreciation rights plan of an affiliate of the Adviser and one portfolio manager participates in a restricted stock plan of an affiliate of the Adviser.

DFA. Portfolio managers receive a base salary, an incentive bonus and may receive a commission based on services provided to certain clients of DFA. Compensation of a portfolio manager is determined at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of DFA and is based on a portfolio manager’s experience, responsibilities, the perception of the quality of his or her work efforts and other subjective factors. The compensation of portfolio managers is not directly based upon the performance of the Old Westbury Global Small Cap Fund or other accounts that they manage. The Compensation Committee of DFA reviews the compensation of each portfolio manager annually and may make modifications in compensation as it deems necessary to reflect changes in the market. Each portfolio manager’s compensation consists of the following:

•

BASE SALARY. Each portfolio manager is paid a base salary. DFA considers the factors described above to determine each portfolio manager’s base salary.

•

SEMI-ANNUAL BONUS. Each portfolio manager receives a semi-annual bonus. The bonus is based on the factors described above as well as DFA’s profitability.

•

COMMISSIONS FOR CLIENT SERVICES. Certain portfolio managers may receive a commission based on services the portfolio manager provides to certain clients of DFA.

•

RESTRICTED STOCK. Portfolio managers may be awarded the right to purchase restricted shares of DFA’s stock as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors of DFA or its delegees. Portfolio managers also participate in benefit and retirement plans and other programs available generally to all employees.

Champlain. Champlain compensates the Old Westbury Global Small Cap Fund’s portfolio manager for his management of the Fund. His compensation consists of a cash base salary and a discretionary performance bonus paid in cash that is based on overall profitability, and therefore in part based on the value of the Fund’s net assets

and other client accounts he manages. The portfolio manager also receive benefits standard for all of Champlain’s employees, including health care and other insurance benefits. In addition, portfolio managers may also have an ownership stake in the Champlain which would entitle them to a portion of the pre-tax profitability of the firm.

Potential Conflicts of Interests

BIM (the Adviser). Like other investment professionals with multiple clients, a portfolio manager for a Fund may face certain potential conflicts of interest in connection with managing both the Fund and other accounts at the same time. The paragraphs below describe some of these potential conflicts, which the Adviser believes are faced by investment professionals at most major financial firms but which the Adviser believes are adequately addressed by its current policies an d procedures. The Adviser and the Board of Directors of Old Westbury Funds, Inc. have adopted compliance policies and procedures that are designed to address certain of these potential conflicts.

A potential conflict of interest may arise when a Fund and other accounts purchase or sell the same securities. On occasions when a portfolio manager considers the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interests of a Fund as well as other accounts, BIM’s trading desk may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased in order to obtain the best execution and lower brokerage commissions, if any. Aggregation of trades may create the potential for unfairness to a Fund or another account if one account is favored over another in allocating the securities purchased or sold – for example, by allocating a disproportionate amount of a security that is likely to increase in value to a favored account. The Adviser believes its policies and procedures relating to trade aggregation and allocation are reasonably designed to prevent such results.

“Cross trades,” in which one BIM account sells a particular security to another account (potentially saving transaction costs for both accounts), may also pose a potential conflict of interest. Cross trades may be seen to involve a potential conflict of interest if, for example, one account is permitted to sell a security to another account at a higher price than an independent third party would pay. The Adviser and the Board of Directors of Old Westbury Funds, Inc. have adopted compliance procedures that provide that any transactions between the Funds and another BIM-advised account are to be made at an independent current market price, as required by law.

Another potential conflict of interest may arise based on the different investment objectives and strategies of a Fund and other accounts. For example, another account may have a shorter-term investment horizon or different investment objectives, policies or restrictions than a Fund. Depending on another account’s objectives or other factors, a portfolio manager may give advice and make decisions that may differ from advice given, or the timing or nature of decisions made, with respect to a Fund. In addition, investment decisions are the product of many factors in addition to basic suitability for the particular account involved. Thus, a particular security may be bought or sold for certain accounts even though it could have been bought or sold for other accounts at the same time. More rarely, a particular security may be bought for one or more accounts managed by a portfolio manager when one or more other accounts are selling the security (including short sales). There may be circumstances when purchases or sales of portfolio securities for one or more accounts may have an adverse effect on other accounts.

A Fund’s portfolio manager who is responsible for managing multiple funds and/or accounts may devote unequal time and attention to the management of those funds and/or accounts. As a result, the portfolio manager may not be able to formulate as complete a strategy or identify equally attractive investment opportunities for each of those accounts as might be the case if he or she were to devote substantially more attention to the management of a single fund. The effects of this potential conflict may be more pronounced where funds and/or accounts overseen by a particular portfolio manager have different investment strategies.

A Fund’s portfolio managers may be able to select or influence the selection of the brokers and dealers that are used to execute securities transactions for the Fund. In addition to executing trades, some brokers and dealers provide portfolio managers with brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), which may result in the payment of higher brokerage fees than might have otherwise be available. These services may be more beneficial to certain funds or accounts than to others. Although the payment of brokerage commissions is subject to the requirement that the portfolio manager determine

in good faith that the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided to the fund, a portfolio manager’s decision as to the selection of brokers and dealers could yield disproportionate costs and benefits among the funds and/or accounts that he or she manages.

A Fund’s portfolio manager(s) may also face other potential conflicts of interest in managing the Funds, and the description above is not a complete description of every conflict that could be deemed to exist in managing both the Funds and other accounts. In addition, a Fund’s portfolio manager may also manage other accounts (including their personal assets or the assets of family members) in their personal capacity. The management of these accounts may also involve certain of the potential conflicts described above. Investment personnel at BIM, including each Fund’s portfolio manager, are subject to restrictions on engaging in personal securities transactions pursuant to Codes of Ethics adopted by BIM and the Funds, which contain provisions and requirements designed to identify and address certain conflicts of interest between personal investment activities and the interests of the Funds.

DFA. Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has the primary day-to-day responsibilities with respect to multiple accounts. In addition to the Old Westbury Global Small Cap Fund, other accounts may include registered mutual funds, unregistered pooled investment vehicles, and accounts managed for organizations and individuals (“Accounts”). An Account may have similar investment objectives to the Old Westbury Global Small Cap Fund, or may purchase, sell or hold securities that are eligible to be purchased, sold or held by the Old Westbury Global Small Cap Fund. Actual or apparent conflicts of interest include:

•

TIME MANAGEMENT. The management of multiple Accounts may result in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of the Old Westbury Global Small Cap Fund and/or Accounts. DFA seeks to manage such competing interests for the time and attention of the portfolio manager by having him focus on a particular investment discipline. Most Accounts managed by a portfolio manager are managed using the same investment models that are used in connection with the management of the Old Westbury Global Small Cap Fund.

•

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES. It is possible that at times identical securities will be held by more both the Old Westbury Global Small Cap Fund and one or more Accounts. However, positions in the same security may vary and the length of time that the Old Westbury Global Small Cap Fund or an Account may choose to hold its investment in the same security may likewise vary. If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity that may be suitable for the Old Westbury Global Small Cap Fund and one or more Accounts, the Old Westbury Global Small Cap Fund may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders. To deal with these situations, DFA has adopted procedures for allocating portfolio transactions across Old Westbury Small Cap Fund and Accounts.

•

BROKER SELECTION. With respect to securities transactions for the Old Westbury Global Small Cap Fund, DFA determines which broker to use to execute each order, consistent with its duty to seek best execution of the transaction. However, with respect to certain Accounts (such as separate accounts), DFA may be limited by the client with respect to the selection of brokers or may be instructed to direct trades through a particular broker. In these cases, DFA or its affiliates may place separate, non-simultaneous, transactions for the Old Westbury Global Small Cap Fund and an Account that may temporarily affect the market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the detriment of the Old Westbury Global Small Cap Fund or the Account.

•

PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES. For some Accounts, DFA may be compensated based on the profitability of the Account, such as by a performance-based management fee. These incentive compensation structures may create a conflict of interest for DFA with regard to Accounts where DFA is

paid based on a percentage of assets because the portfolio manager may have an incentive to allocate securities preferentially to the Accounts where DFA might share in investment gains.

•

CLIENT SERVICE RESPONSIBILITIES. A conflict may arise where a portfolio manager receives a commission for servicing a client in that the portfolio manager may have an incentive to favor the Account of that client over the Old Westbury Global Small Cap Fund or other Accounts that the portfolio manager manages.

•

INVESTMENT IN A PORTFOLIO. A portfolio manager or his/her relatives may invest in a portfolio that he or she manages and a conflict may arise where he or she may therefore have an incentive to treat an Account in which the portfolio manager or his/her relatives invest preferentially as compared to the Old Westbury Global Small Cap Fund or other Accounts for which they have portfolio management responsibilities.

DFA has adopted certain compliance procedures that are reasonably designed to address these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.

Champlain. The portfolio manager’s management of “other accounts” may give rise to potential conflicts of interest in connection with their management of the Old Westbury Global Small Cap Fund’s investments, on the one hand, and the investments of the other accounts, on the other. The other accounts may have the same investment objective as the Old Westbury Global Small Cap Fund. Therefore, a potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of the identical investment objectives, whereby the portfolio manager could favor one account over another. Another potential conflict could include the portfolio manager’s knowledge about the size, timing and possible market impact of Old Westbury Global Small Cap Fund trades, whereby a portfolio manager could use this information to the advantage of other accounts and to the disadvantage of the Old Westbury Global Small Cap Fund. However, Champlain has established policies and procedures to ensure that the purchase and sale of securities among all accounts it manages are fairly and equitably allocated.

Information regarding how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the 12-month period ended June 30, 2005 is available , without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-607-2200 and on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS INFORMATION

It is the policy of the Corporation, with respect to each of the Funds, to disclose to the general public the portfolio holdings of each of the Funds in regular public filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Portfolio Disclosure Policies”). In addition, the Corporation may disclose additional information, such as the top ten holdings within each Fund, on a monthly basis with a lag time of not less than 7 days, on the website www.Bessemer.com. The Funds may also disclose portfolio holdings information in response to a request from a regulatory or other governmental entity.

Portfolio holdings information for the Funds may also be made available more frequently and prior to its public availability (“non-standard disclosure”) to:

(1)

the Funds’ service providers (which currently include the Funds’ adviser, sub-adviser, custodian, administrator, fund accountant, pricing service (FT Interactive Data Corporation) and printer (RR Donnelley)) (“Service Providers”); and

(2)

certain non-service providers (such as ratings agencies, which currently include Morningstar, Inc., Standard & Poor’s Securities, Inc. and Lipper Analytical Services for such purposes as analyzing and ranking the Funds or performing due diligence and asset allocation) (“Non-Service Providers”).

The disclosure of portfolio holdings information for the Funds may only be made pursuant to the Portfolio Disclosure Policies which are designed to ensure compliance by the Funds and their service providers with the applicable federal securities laws and their respective fiduciary duties. The Disclosure Policies are also designed to ensure the interests of the Adviser are not put above those of the shareholders. Any waivers or exceptions to the Disclosure Policies will be considered by the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer, who will make a determination based on several factors, including the best interest of shareholders.

Prior to the release of non-standard disclosure to Non-Service Providers, the recipient must adhere to the following conditions:

(1)

the recipient may not distribute the portfolio holdings or results of the analysis to third parties, other departments or persons who are likely to use the information for purposes of purchasing or selling the Funds before the portfolio holdings or results of the analysis become public information; and

(2)

the recipient signs a written Confidentiality Agreement. Persons and entities unwilling to execute an acceptable Confidentiality Agreement may only receive portfolio holdings information that has otherwise been publicly disclosed in accordance with the Funds’ Disclosure Policies.

Neither the Funds nor the Funds’ investment adviser or any sub-adviser may receive compensation or other consideration in connection with the disclosure of information about portfolio securities. These Disclosure Policies may not be waived or exceptions made, without the consent of the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer. The Board of Directors will review this policy, including the list of approved recipients, as often as they deem appropriate, but not less often than annually, and recommend any changes that they deem appropriate. The Funds’ Board of Directors and Chief Compliance Officer may, on a case-by-case basis, impose additional restrictions on the dissemination of portfolio information beyond those found in the Funds’ Disclosure Policies.

BROKERAGE TRANSACTIONS

The Adviser makes each Fund’s portfolio decisions and determines the broker to be used in each specific transaction with the objective of negotiating a combination of the most favorable commission and the best price obtainable on each transaction (generally defined as best execution). When consistent with the objective of obtaining best execution, brokerage may be directed to persons or firms supplying investment information to the Adviser or portfolio transactions may be effected by the Adviser. To the extent that such persons or firms supply investment information to the Adviser for use in rendering investment advice to a Fund, such information may be supplied at no cost to the Adviser and, therefore, may have the effect of reducing the expenses of the Adviser in rendering advice to that Fund. While it is impossible to place an actual dollar value on such investment information, its receipt by the Adviser probably does not reduce the overall expenses of the Adviser to any material extent. Consistent with Rule 12b-1(h), the Adviser will not consider sales of shares of a Fund as a factor in the selection of brokers to execute portfolio transactions for the Funds.

The investment information provided to the Adviser is of the type described in Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act and is designed to augment the Adviser’s own internal research and investment strategy capabilities. These research services include such matters as general economic and securities market reviews, industry and company reviews, evaluations of securities and recommendations as to the purchase and sale of securities. Research services furnished by brokers through which each Fund effects securities transactions are used by the Adviser in carrying out its investment management responsibilities with respect to all its clients’ accounts. There may be occasions where the transaction cost charged by a broker may be greater than that which another broker may charge if the Adviser determines in good faith that the amount of such transaction cost is reasonable in relation to the value of brokerage and research services provided by the executing broker.

A Fund may deal in some instances in securities which are not listed on a national securities exchange but are traded in the over-the-counter market. It may also purchase listed securities through the third market. Where transactions are executed in the over-the-counter market or third market, that Fund will seek to deal with the primary market makers; but when necessary in order to obtain best execution, it will utilize the services of others. In all cases, each Fund will attempt to negotiate best execution.

Information regarding brokerage commissions paid by the Funds is set forth in the table “Fees Paid by the Funds” in the following pages. For the fiscal year ended, October 31, 2005, the Funds’ Adviser directed brokerage transactions to certain brokers due to research services they provided as follows: the Large Cap Equity Fund paid $39,577 in brokerage commissions for transactions of $270,192,449 the Mid Cap Equity Fund paid $4,750 in brokerage commissions for transactions of $592,789,335 the International Fund paid $169,285 in brokerage commissions for transactions of $1,697,365,913; the Global Small Cap Fund paid $54,189 in brokerage commissions for transactions of $491,994,902; and the Real Return Fund paid $355 in brokerage commissions for transactions of $389,175,921.

Although investment decisions for the Funds are made independently from those of the other accounts managed by the Adviser, investments of the type the Funds may make may also be made by those other accounts. When the Funds and one or more other accounts managed by the Adviser are prepared to invest in, or desire to dispose of, the same security, available investments or opportunities for sales will be allocated in a manner believed by the Adviser to be equitable to each. In some cases, this procedure may adversely affect the price paid or received by the Funds or the size of the position obtained or disposed of by the Funds. In other cases, however, it is believed that coordination and the ability to participate in volume transactions will be to benefit the Funds.

As of October 31, 2005, the Large Cap Equity Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund, and Fixed Income Fund held investments in securities of their regular broker-dealers as follows:


Fund	Approximate Aggregate Value of Issuer’s Securities Owned by the Fund at 10/31/2005		Name of Broker or Dealer
Large Cap Equity Fund	$ $ $ $	6,887,164 3,179,421 6,775,325 3,859,358	The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. Citigroup, Inc. Bank of America Corp. Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc.

International Fund	$ $ $	19,962,738 7,659,881 11,693,754	Deutsche Bank AG Barclays Plc Mizuho Financial Group, Inc.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

Changes may be made in the portfolio consistent with the investment objectives and policies of the Funds whenever such changes are believed to be in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated by dividing the lesser of purchases or sales of portfolio securities by the average monthly value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. For purposes of this calculation, portfolio securities exclude all securities having a maturity when purchased of one year or less. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005, the turnover rates for the Funds can be found in the “Financial Highlights” section of Funds’ prospectus. As Funds that have not yet completed a full fiscal year, the Global Small Cap Fund and Real Return Fund do not yet have an annual portfolio turnover rate. Such rate is not, however, expected to exceed 100%. High portfolio turnover may result in increased brokerage costs to a Fund and also adverse tax consequences to a Fund’s shareholders.

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN

The Corporation has adopted a distribution and service plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “Rule”) for the Funds. The Rule provides that an investment company which bears any direct or indirect expense of distributing its shares must do so only in accordance with a plan permitted by the Rule. The Plan provides that each Fund may bear certain expenses and costs which in the aggregate are subject to a maximum of 0.15% per annum of that Fund’s average daily net assets. Pursuant to the Plan, the Corporation entered into a Distribution Agreement and a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with the Distributor with respect to the Funds and the Corporation. Each Fund also entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with Bessemer (the Distributor’s Shareholder Servicing Agreement together with Bessemer’s Shareholder Servicing Agreement, the “Shareholder Servicing Agreements”).

For its services under its Shareholder Servicing Agreements the Distributor is permitted to receive payments from each Fund up to 0.15% per annum of the average daily net assets of that Fund to permit it to make payments to broker-dealers with which it has written agreements and whose clients are Fund shareholders (each a “Broker-Dealer”), for providing shareholder services. For its services under its Shareholder Servicing Agreement, Bessemer is permitted to receive a payment from each Fund equal to 0.15% per annum of that Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to the clients of Bessemer (and its affiliates) to compensate it for providing shareholder services to such clients. In addition, Bessemer’s Shareholder Servicing Agreement provides that Bessemer is permitted to receive payments from each Fund (together with the Distributor’s fee, the “Shareholder Servicing Fee”) to actually permit it to make payments made to banks, savings and loans and other financial institutions with which it has written agreements and whose clients are Fund shareholders (each institution, a “Shareholder Servicing Agent”) for providing shareholder services up to 0.15% per annum of that Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to the clients of the other Shareholder Servicing Agents. Therefore, the total of the Shareholder Servicing Fees in the aggregate payable to the Distributor and the Adviser will not exceed 0.15% of the total net assets of that Fund.

The Plan, the Shareholder Servicing Agreements and the Distribution Agreement each provide that Bessemer may make payments from time to time from its own resources which may include past profits for certain enumerated purposes, provided that such payments made pursuant to the Plan will not increase the amount which a Fund is required to pay to the Distributor or Bessemer for any fiscal year under the Shareholder Servicing Agreements or otherwise.

Shareholder Servicing Agents and Broker-Dealers may charge investors a fee in connection with their use of specialized purchase and redemption procedures offered to investors by the Shareholder Servicing Agents and Broker-Dealers. In addition, Shareholder Servicing Agents and Broker-Dealers offering purchase and redemption procedures similar to those offered to shareholders who invest in a Fund directly may impose charges, limitations, minimums and restrictions in addition to or different from those applicable to shareholders who invest in a Fund directly. Accordingly, the net yield to investors who invest through Shareholder Servicing Agents and Broker-Dealers may be less than by investing in a Fund directly. An investor should read the Prospectus in conjunction with the materials provided by the Shareholder Servicing Agent and Broker-Dealer describing the procedures under which Fund shares may be purchased and redeemed through the Shareholder Servicing Agent and Broker-Dealer.

In accordance with the Rule, the Plans provide that all written agreements relating to the Plans entered into by each Fund, the Distributor or the Adviser, and the Shareholder Servicing Agents, Broker-Dealers, or other organizations must be in a form satisfactory to the Corporation’s Board of Directors. In addition, the Plans require each Fund and the Distributor to prepare, at least quarterly, written reports setting forth all amounts expended for distribution purposes by each Fund and the Distributor pursuant to the Plans and identifying the distribution activities for which those expenditures were made.

The Plan provides that it may continue in effect for successive annual periods provided it is approved by the shareholders or by the Board of Directors, including a majority of directors who are not interested persons of the Corporation and who have no direct or indirect interest in the operation of the Plan or in the agreements related to the Plan. The Plan further provides that it may not be amended to increase materially the costs which may be spent by a Fund for distribution pursuant to the Plan without shareholder approval, and that other material amendments must be approved by the directors in the manner described in the preceding sentence. The Plan may be terminated at any time by a vote of a majority of the disinterested directors of the Corporation or a Fund’s shareholders.

From time to time, the Adviser and the Distributor may voluntarily assume certain expenses of a Fund. This would have the effect of lowering the overall expense ratio of that Fund and of increasing yield to investors in that Fund.

^5.	Period from April 29, 2005 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 2005.

HOW DO THE FUNDS MEASURE PERFORMANCE?

Each Fund may advertise its share performance by using the SEC’s standard method for calculating performance applicable to all mutual funds. The SEC also permits this standard performance information to be accompanied by non-standard performance information.

Unless otherwise stated, any quoted share performance reflects the effect of non-recurring charges, such as maximum sales charges, which, if excluded would increase the total return and yield. The performance of shares depends upon such variables as: portfolio quality; average portfolio maturity; type and value of portfolio securities; changes in interest rates; changes or differences in the Fund’s expenses; and various other factors.

Share performance fluctuates on a daily basis largely because net earnings and offering price per share fluctuate daily. Both net earnings and offering price per share are factors in the computation of yield and total return.

The performance of the Funds may be compared in various financial and news publications to the performance of various indices and investments for which reliable performance data is available. The performance of the Funds may be compared in publications to averages, performance rankings, or other information prepared by nationally recognized mutual fund ranking and statistical services. As with other performance data, performance comparisons should not be considered representative of a Fund’s relative performance for any future period.

TOTAL RETURN

Total return represents the change (expressed as a percentage) in the value of shares over a specific period of time, and includes the investment of income and capital gains distributions.

The average annual total return for a Fund’s shares is the average compounded rate of return for a given period that would equate a $1,000 initial investment to the ending redeemable value of that investment. The ending redeemable value is computed by multiplying the number of shares owned at the end of the period by the NAV per share at the end of the period. The number of shares owned at the end of the period is based on the number of shares purchased at the beginning of the period with $1,000, less any applicable sales charge, adjusted over the period by any additional shares, assuming the annual reinvestment of all distributions.

When shares of a Fund are in existence for less than a year, the Fund may advertise cumulative total return for that specific period of time, rather than annualizing the total return.

YIELD AND TAX EQUIVALENT YIELD

The yield of a Fund’s shares is calculated by dividing: (i) the net investment income per share earned by the shares over a thirty-day period by (ii) the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period. This number is then annualized using semi-annual compounding. This means that the amount of income generated during the thirty-day period is assumed to be generated each month over a 12-month period and is reinvested every six months. The tax-equivalent yield of the Municipal Income Fund’s shares is calculated similarly to the yield, but is adjusted to reflect the taxable yield that shares would have had to earn to equal the actual yield, assuming a specific tax rate. The yield and tax-equivalent yield do not necessarily reflect income actually earned by shares because of certain adjustments required by the SEC and, therefore, may not correlate to the dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders.

To the extent financial institutions and broker/dealers charge fees in connection with services provided in conjunction with an investment in a Fund’s shares, the Fund’s share performance is lower for shareholders paying those fees.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rate, 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. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to tax-exempt investors or those who hold Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or Individual Retirement Accounts.

TAX EQUIVALENT YIELDS

The Municipal Bond Fund may use tax equivalent yield information in its sales literature and advertising. Such information sets forth the yield that is afforded by a tax free investment by showing such yields without the effect of Federal income taxes with respect to a given taxable income bracket. The interest earned by the municipal securities owned by the Fund generally remains free from regular Federal income tax and is often free from state and local taxes as well. However, some of the Fund’s income may be subject to the federal AMT and state and/or local taxes.

PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS

Advertising and sales literature may include:

•

references to ratings, rankings, and financial publications and/or performance comparisons of shares to certain indices;

•

charts, graphs and illustrations using the Fund’s returns, or returns in general, that demonstrate investment concepts such as tax-deferred compounding, dollar-cost averaging and systematic investment;

•

discussions of economic, financial and political developments and their impact on the securities market, including the portfolio manager’s views on how such developments could impact the Funds; and

•

information about the mutual fund industry from sources such as the Investment Company Institute.

Each Fund may compare its performance, or performance for the types of securities in which it invests, to a variety of other investments, including federally insured bank products such as bank savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and Treasury bills.

Each Fund may quote information from reliable sources regarding individual countries and regions, world stock exchanges, and economic and demographic statistics.

You may use financial publications and/or indices to obtain a more complete view of share performance. When comparing performance, you should consider all relevant factors such as the composition of the index used, prevailing market conditions, portfolio compositions of other funds, and methods used to value portfolio securities and compute offering price.

ACCOUNT INFORMATION AND PRICING OF SHARES

Information relating to the Purchase and Redemption of the Funds’ shares is located in the Shareholder Information section of the Prospectus.

NET ASSET VALUE

For purposes of determining each Fund’s net asset value per share, readily marketable portfolio securities listed on an exchange are valued, except as indicated below, at the last sale price reflected at the close of the regular trading session of the exchange on the business day as of which such value is being determined. Securities may be valued by independent pricing services, approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors, which use prices provided by market makers or estimates of market value obtained yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics. If there has been no sale on such day, the securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices on such day. If no bid or asked prices are quoted on such day, then the security is valued by such method as the Board of Directors shall determine in good faith to reflect its fair market value. Fund securities traded on more than one national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. If significant events occur that materially affect the value of the security between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the regular trading session of the NYSE, the Funds may value the security at its fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board of Directors. The effect of using fair value pricing is that a Fund’s net asset value will be subject to the judgment of the Board of Directors or its designee instead of being determined by market prices. Examples of significant events may include, but will not necessarily include, an announcement by the issuer, a creditor, or a government body, political or economic events, natural disasters, or significant fluctuations in key markets that occurring after the close of the security’s principal market. Since some Funds may invest in securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on days when the Funds do not price their shares, the value of those Funds’ assets may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem fund shares.

Readily marketable securities traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed securities whose primary market is believed by the Adviser to be over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the current bid and asked prices from such sources as the Board of Directors deems appropriate to reflect their fair value.

United States government obligations and other debt instruments having sixty days or less remaining until maturity are stated at amortized cost. Debt instruments having a greater remaining maturity will be valued at the highest bid price obtained from a dealer maintaining an active market in that security or on the basis of prices obtained from a pricing service approved as reliable by the Board of Directors. All other investment assets, including restricted and not readily marketable securities, are valued under procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors designed to reflect in good faith the fair value of such securities.

As indicated in the prospectus, the net asset value per share of each Fund’s shares will be determined as of the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on each day that the NYSE is open for trading. The NYSE annually announces the days on which it will not be open for trading; the most recent announcement indicates that it will not be open on the following days: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. However, the NYSE may close on days not included in that announcement.

TRADING IN FOREIGN SECURITIES

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the NYSE. In computing its net asset value, the International Fund values foreign securities at the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates may also be determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Occasionally, events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, although the actual calculation may be done by others.

CAPITAL STOCK AND VOTING RIGHTS

The authorized capital stock of the Corporation consists of twenty billion shares of stock having a par value of one tenth of one cent ($0.001) per share. The Corporation’s Board of Directors is authorized to divide the unissued shares into separate series of stock. Shares of all series will have identical voting rights, except where, by law, certain matters must be approved by a majority of the shares of the affected series. Each share of any series has equal distribution, liquidation and voting rights within the series in which it was issued. Each share of a Fund gives the shareholder one vote in Director elections and other matters submitted to shareholders for vote.

HOW ARE THE FUNDS TAXED?

The following information supplements and should be read in conjunction with the section in the Prospectus entitled “Taxes.” The Prospectus generally describes the federal income tax treatment of distributions by the Funds. This section of the SAI provides additional information concerning federal income taxes. It is based on the Code, applicable Treasury Regulations, judicial authority, and administrative rulings and practice, all as of the date of this SAI and all of which are subject to change, including changes with retroactive effect. The following discussion does not address any state, local or foreign tax matters. A shareholder’s tax treatment may vary depending upon his or her particular situation. This discussion only applies to shareholders holding Fund shares as capital assets within the meaning of the Code. Except as otherwise noted, it may not apply to certain types of shareholders who may be subject to special rules such as insurance companies; tax-exempt organizations; shareholders holding Fund shares through tax-advantaged accounts (such as a 401 (k) Plan Accounts or Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRAs”)), financial institutions, broker-dealers, entities that are not organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, persons who are neither citizens nor residents of the United States, shareholders holding Fund shares as part of a hedge, straddle or conversion transaction, and shareholders who are not subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”).

The Corporation has not requested and will not request an advance ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) as to the federal income tax matters described below. The IRS could adopt positions contrary to that discussed below and such positions could be sustained. In addition, the foregoing discussion and the discussions in the Prospectus applicable to each shareholder address only some of the federal income tax considerations generally affecting investments in the Funds. Prospective shareholders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors and financial planners as to the particular federal tax consequences to them of an investment in a Fund, as well as the applicability and effect of any state, local or foreign laws, and the effect of possible changes in applicable tax laws.

Qualification as a Regulated Investment Company

The Corporation intends to continue to qualify each Fund as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1 of the Code, as long as such qualification is in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. Each Fund will be treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Thus, the provisions of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies generally will apply separately to each Fund, rather than to the Corporation as a whole. Furthermore, each Fund will separately determine its income, gains, losses and expenses for federal income tax purposes.

In order to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Code, each Fund must, among other things, derive at least 90% of its gross income each taxable year generally from dividends, interest, certain payments with respect to securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, and other income attributable to its business of investing in such stock, securities or foreign currencies (including but not limited to gains from options, futures or forward contracts). Pursuant to future Treasury Regulations, the IRS may limit qualifying income from foreign currency gains that are directly related to a Fund’s principal business of investing in stock or securities or options and futures with respect to stock or securities. Each Fund must also diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each quarter of the taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the fair market value of its assets consists of (A) cash and cash items(including receivables), U.S. government securities and securities of other regulated investment companies, and (B) securities of any one issuer (other than those described in clause (A)) to the extent such securities do not exceed the greater of 5% of the value of the Fund’s total assets or 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer, and (ii) not

more than 25% of the value of the Fund’s total assets consists of the securities of any one issuer (other than those described in clause (i)(A)) or the securities of two or more issuers the Fund controls and which are engaged in the same, similar or related trades or businesses. The qualifying income and diversification requirements applicable to a Fund may limit the extent to which it can engage in transactions in options, futures contracts, forward contracts and swap agreements.

In addition, each Fund generally must distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, which generally includes its ordinary income and the excess of any net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss and at least 90% of its net tax-exempt interest income earned in each taxable year. If a Fund meets all of the regulated investment company requirements, it generally will not be subject to federal income tax on any of the investment company taxable income and net capital gain (i.e., the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) it distributes to its shareholders. For this purpose, a Fund generally must make the distributions in the same year that it realizes the income and gain. However, in certain circumstances, a Fund may make the distributions in the following taxable year. Furthermore, if a Fund declares a distribution to shareholders of record in October, November or December of one year and pays the distribution by January 31 of the following year, the Fund and its shareholders will be treated as if the Fund paid the distribution by December 31 of the first taxable year. Each Fund intends to distribute its net income and gain in a timely manner to maintain its status as a regulated investment company and eliminate Fund-level federal income taxation of such income and gain. However, no assurance can be given that a Fund will not be subject to federal income taxation.

If, for any taxable year, a Fund fails to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Code or fails to meet the distribution requirements, it will be taxed in the same manner as an ordinary corporation without any deduction for its distributions to shareholders, and all distributions from the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits (including any distributions of net tax-exempt income and net long-term capital gains) to its shareholders will be taxable as dividend income. To qualify again to be taxed as a regulated investment company in a subsequent year, the Fund may be required to distribute to its shareholders its earnings and profits attributable to non-regulated investment company years reduced by an interest charge on 50% of such earnings and profits payable by the Fund to the IRS. In addition, if the Fund failed to qualify as a regulated investment company for a period greater than two taxable years, the Fund may be required to recognize and pay tax on any net built-in gain (the excess of aggregate gain, including items of income, over aggregate loss that would have been realized if the Fund had been liquidated) or, alternatively, to be subject to taxation on such built-in gain recognized for a period of ten years, in order to qualify as a regulated investment company in a subsequent year.

Capital Loss Carry-Forwards

A Fund is permitted to carry forward a net capital loss from any year to offset its capital gains, if any, realized during the eight years following the year of the loss. A Fund’s capital loss carry-forward is treated as a short-term capital loss in the year to which it is carried. If future capital gains are offset by carried-forward capital losses, such future capital gains are not subject to Fund-level federal income taxation, regardless of whether they are distributed to shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds do not expect to distribute such capital gains. The Funds cannot carry back or carry forward any net operating losses.

Any losses incurred in the taxable year subsequent to October 31 will be deferred to the next taxable year and used to reduce subsequent year distributions. As of October 31, 2005, each of the following Funds had the following capital loss carry-forwards for federal income tax purposes, which will expire in the following years:


Fund Name	2009		2010		2011		Total
Large Cap Equity Fund	$	8,541,038	$	30,679,255	$	1,646,965	$	40,867,258
International Fund	$	3,705,032	$	66,634,575	$	5,474,303	$	75,813,910

Equalization Accounting

Under the Code, the Funds may use the so-called “equalization method” of accounting to allocate a portion of their “earnings and profits,” which generally equals a Fund’s undistributed net investment income and realized capital gains, with certain adjustments, to redemption proceeds. This method permits a Fund to achieve more balanced distributions for both continuing and redeeming shareholders. Although using this method generally will not affect a Fund’s total returns, it may reduce the amount that the Fund would otherwise distribute to continuing shareholders by reducing the effect of purchases and redemptions of Fund shares on Fund distributions to shareholders. However, the IRS may not have expressly sanctioned the equalization accounting method used by the Funds, and thus the use of this method may be subject to IRS scrutiny.

Excise Tax

A 4% nondeductible excise tax will be imposed on each Fund’s net income and gains (other than to the extent of its tax-exempt interest income, if any) to the extent it fails to distribute by December 31 of each calendar year at least 98% of its ordinary income (excluding capital gains and losses), at least 98% of its net capital gains (adjusted for ordinary losses) for the 12 month period ending on October 31 of that year and all of its ordinary income and capital gains from previous years that were not distributed during such years. Each Fund intends to actually or be deemed to distribute substantially all of its net income and gains, if any, by the end of each calendar year and, thus, expects not to be subject to the excise tax. However, no assurance can be given that a Fund will not be subject to the excise tax.

Taxation of Fund Investments

In general, realized gains or losses on the sale of portfolio securities, will be treated as capital gains or losses, and long-term capital gains or losses if the Fund has held the disposed securities for more than one year at the time of disposition.

If a Fund purchases a debt obligation with original issue discount, generally at a price less than its principal amount (“OID”), such as a zero-coupon bond, the Fund may be required to annually include in its distributable income a portion of the OID as ordinary income, even though the Fund will not receive cash payments for such discount until maturity or disposition of the obligation. A portion of the OID includible in income with respect to certain high-yield corporate debt securities may be treated as a dividend for federal income tax purposes. Gains recognized on the disposition of a debt obligation (including a municipal obligation) purchased by a Fund at a market discount, generally at a price less than its principal amount, generally will be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the portion of market discount which accrued, but was not previously recognized pursuant to an available election, during the term that the Fund held the debt obligation. A Fund generally will be required to make distributions to shareholders representing the OID on debt securities that is currently includible in income, even though the cash representing such income may not have been received by the Fund. Cash to pay such distributions may be obtained from borrowing or from sales proceeds of securities held by a Fund which the Fund otherwise might have continued to hold.

If an option granted by a Fund is sold, lapses or is otherwise terminated through a closing transaction, such as a repurchase by the Fund of the option from its holder, the Fund will realize a short-term capital gain or loss, depending on whether the premium income is greater or less than the amount paid by the Fund in the closing transaction. Some capital losses may be deferred if they result from a position that is part of a “straddle,” discussed below. If securities are sold by a Fund pursuant to the exercise of a call option granted by it, the Fund will add the premium received to the sale price of the securities delivered in determining the amount of gain or loss on the sale. If securities are purchased by a Fund pursuant to the exercise of a put option written by it, the Fund will subtract the premium received from its cost basis in the securities purchased.

Some regulated futures contracts, certain foreign currency contracts, and non-equity, listed options used by a Fund will be deemed “Section 1256 contracts.” A Fund will be required to mark-to-market any such contracts held at the end of the taxable year by treating them as if they had been sold on the last day of that year at market value. Sixty percent of any net gain or loss realized on all dispositions of Section 1256 contracts, including deemed dispositions under the “mark-to-market” rule, generally will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss, and the

remaining 40% will be treated as short-term capital gain or loss. These provisions may require a Fund to recognize income or gains without a concurrent receipt of cash. Transactions that qualify as designated hedges are exempt from the mark-to-market rule and the “60%/40%” rule and may require the Fund to defer the recognition of losses on certain future contracts, foreign currency contracts and non-equity options.

Foreign exchange gains and losses realized by a Fund in connection with certain transactions involving foreign currency-denominated debt securities, certain options and futures contracts relating to foreign currency, foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currencies, or payables or receivables denominated in a foreign currency are subject to Section 988 of the Code, which generally causes such gains or losses to be treated as ordinary income and losses and may affect the amount and timing of recognition of the Fund’s income. Under future Treasury Regulations, any such transactions that are not directly related to a Fund’s investments in stock or securities (or its options contracts or futures contracts with respect to stock or securities) may have to be limited in order to enable the Fund to satisfy the 90% income test described above. If the net foreign exchange loss exceeds a Fund’s net investment company taxable income (computed without regard to such loss) for a taxable year, the resulting ordinary loss for such year will not be deductible by the Fund or its shareholders in future years.

Offsetting positions held by a Fund involving certain financial forward, futures or options contracts may be considered, for federal income tax purposes, to constitute “straddles.” “Straddles” are defined to include “offsetting positions” in actively traded personal property. The tax treatment of “straddles” is governed by Section 1092 of the Code, which, in certain circumstances, overrides or modifies the provisions of Section 1256. If a Fund is treated as entering into “straddles” by engaging in certain financial forward, futures or option contracts, such straddles could be characterized as “mixed straddles” if the futures, forward, or option contracts comprising a part of such straddles are governed by Section 1256 of the Code, described above. A Fund may make one or more elections with respect to “mixed straddles.” Depending upon which election is made, if any, the results with respect to a Fund may differ. Generally, to the extent the straddle rules apply to positions established by a Fund, losses realized by the Fund may be deferred to the extent of unrealized gain in any offsetting positions. Moreover, as a result of the straddle and the conversion transaction rules, short-term capital loss on straddle positions may be recharacterized as long-term capital loss, and long-term capital gain may be characterized as short-term capital gain or ordinary income. Further, the Fund may be required to capitalize, rather than deduct currently, any interest expense on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry any positions that are part of a straddle. Because the application of the straddle rules may affect the character of gains and losses, defer losses and/or accelerate the recognition of gains or losses from affected straddle positions, the amount which must be distributed to shareholders, and which will be taxed to shareholders as ordinary income or long-term capital gain, may be increased or decreased substantially as compared to if a Fund had not engaged in such transactions.

If a Fund enters into a “constructive sale” of any appreciated financial position in stock, a partnership interest, or certain debt instruments, the Fund will be treated as if it had sold and immediately repurchased the property and must recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to that position. A constructive sale occurs when a Fund enters into one of the following transactions with respect to the same or substantially identical property: (i) a short sale; (ii) an offsetting notional principal contract; (iii) a futures or forward contract; or (iv) other transactions identified in future Treasury Regulations. The character of the gain from constructive sales will depend upon a Fund’s holding period in the property. Losses from a constructive sale of property will be recognized when the property is subsequently disposed of. The character of such losses will depend upon a Fund’s holding period in the property and the application of various loss deferral provisions in the Code. Constructive sale treatment does not apply to transactions if such transaction is closed before the end of the 30th day after the close of the Fund’s taxable year and the Fund holds the appreciated financial position throughout the 60-day period beginning with the day such transaction was closed.

The amount of long-term capital gain a Fund may recognize from derivative transactions is limited with respect to certain pass-through entities. The amount of long-term capital gain is limited to the amount of such gain a Fund would have had if the Fund directly invested in the pass-through entity during the term of the derivative contract. Any gain in excess of this amount is treated as ordinary income. An interest charge is imposed on the amount of gain that is treated as ordinary income.

“Passive foreign investment corporations” (“PFICs”) are generally defined as certain foreign corporations that receive at least 75% of their annual gross income from passive sources (such as interest, dividends, certain rents and royalties, or capital gains) or that hold at least 50% of their assets in investments producing such passive

income. If a Fund acquires any equity interest (which generally includes not only stock but also an option to acquire stock such as is inherent in a convertible bond under proposed Treasury Regulations) in a PFIC, the Fund could be subject to federal income tax and IRS interest charges on “excess distributions” received from the PFIC or on gain from the sale of stock in the PFIC, even if all income or gain actually received by the Fund is timely distributed to its shareholders. Excess distributions will be characterized as ordinary income even though, absent the application of PFIC rules, some excess distributions would have been classified as capital gain.

A Fund will not be permitted to pass through to its shareholders any credit or deduction for taxes and interest charges incurred with respect to PFICs. Elections may be available that would ameliorate these adverse tax consequences, but such elections could require a Fund to recognize taxable income or gain without the concurrent receipt of cash. Investments in PFICs could also result in the treatment of associated capital gains as ordinary income. The Funds may limit and/or manage their holdings in PFICs to minimize their tax liability or maximize their returns from these investments. Because it is not always possible to identify a foreign corporation as a PFIC in advance of acquiring shares in the corporation, however, a Fund may incur the tax and interest charges described above in some instances.

Rules governing the federal income tax aspects of derivatives are in a developing stage and are not entirely clear in certain respects, particularly in light of a recent IRS revenue ruling that held that income from a derivative contract with respect to a commodity index will not constitute qualifying income after June 30, 2006. Additionally, certain requirements that must be met under the Code in order for each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company may limit the extent to which a Fund will be able to engage in derivative transactions. The Real Return Fund intends to limit its investments in commodity-linked derivatives in a manner designed to ensure its continued qualification as a regulated investment company under the Code. Each Fund also intends to account for derivative transactions in a manner it deems to be appropriate. However, the IRS might not agree with determinations made a Fund. If it did not, the status of the Fund as a regulated investment company might be jeopardized. The Funds intend to monitor developments in this area.

In addition to the investments described above, prospective shareholders should be aware that other investments made by the Funds may involve sophisticated tax rules that may result in income or gain recognition by the Funds without corresponding current cash receipts. Although the Funds seek to avoid significant noncash income, such noncash income could be recognized by the Funds, in which case the Funds may distribute cash derived from other sources in order to meet the minimum distribution requirements described above. In this regard, the Funds could be required at times to liquidate investments prematurely in order to satisfy their minimum distribution requirements. In addition, payments received by the Funds in connection with securities lending and repurchase agreements will not qualify for reductions in individual federal income tax on certain dividends and so may be taxable as ordinary income.

Taxation of Distributions

Except for exempt-interest distributions paid out by the Fund, defined below, all distributions paid out of a Fund’s earnings and profits (as determined at the end of the year), whether paid in cash or reinvested in the Fund, generally are deemed to be taxable distributions and must be reported by each shareholder who is required to file a federal income tax return. For federal income tax purposes, a Fund’s earnings and profits, described above, are determined at the end of the Fund’s taxable year and are allocated pro rata to distributions paid over the entire year. Distributions in excess of a Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will first be treated as a return of capital up to the amount of a shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund shares and then capital gain. A Fund may make distributions in excess of earnings and profits to a limited extent, from time to time.

Distributions designated by a Fund as a capital gain distribution will be taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gain (to the extent such distributions do not exceed the Fund’s actual net long-term capital gain for the taxable year), regardless of how long a shareholder has held Fund shares, but are not eligible for the dividends-received deduction for corporations. Each Fund will designate capital gains distributions, if any, in a written notice mailed by the Fund to its shareholders not later than 60 days after the close of the Fund’s taxable year.

Some states will not tax distributions made to individual shareholders that are attributable to interest a Fund earned on direct obligations of the U.S. Government if the Fund meets the state’s minimum investment or reporting requirements, if any. Investments in Government National Mortgage Association or Federal National Mortgage Association securities, bankers’ acceptances, commercial paper and repurchase agreements collateralized

by U.S. Government securities generally do not qualify for tax -free treatment. This exemption may not apply to corporate shareholders.

Sales and Exchanges of Fund Shares

If a shareholder sells, pursuant to a cash or in-kind redemption or exchanges his or her Fund shares, subject to the discussion below, he or she generally will realize a taxable capital gain or loss on the difference between the amount received for the shares (or deemed received in the case of an exchange) and his or her tax basis in the shares. This gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if he or she has held such Fund shares for more than one year at the time of the sale or exchange, and short-term otherwise. Under certain circumstances, an individual shareholder receiving qualified dividend income from a Fund, explained further below, may be required to treat a loss on the sale or exchange of Fund shares as a long-term capital loss.

If a shareholder sells or exchanges Fund shares within 90 days of having acquired such shares and if, as a result of having initially acquired those shares, he or she subsequently pays a reduced sales charge on a new purchase of shares of the Fund or a different regulated investment company, the sales charge previously incurred in acquiring the Fund’s shares generally shall not be taken into account (to the extent the previous sales charges do not exceed the reduction in sales charges on the new purchase) for the purpose of determining the amount of gain or loss on the disposition, but generally will be treated as having been incurred in the new purchase. If a shareholder realizes a loss on a disposition of Fund shares, the loss may be disallowed under “wash sale” rules to the extent that the shares disposed of are replaced with other shares of the same Fund within the 61-day period beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the disposition. Any disallowed loss generally will be reflected in an adjustment to the tax basis of the purchased shares.

If a shareholder receives a capital gain distribution with respect to any Fund share and such Fund share is held for six months or less, then (unless otherwise disallowed) any loss on the sale or exchange of that Fund share will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of the capital gains distribution. In addition, if a shareholder holds Fund shares for six months or less, any loss on the sale or exchange of those shares will be disallowed to the extent of the amount of exempt-interest distributions (defined below) received with respect to the shares. The Treasury Department is authorized to issue regulations reducing the six months holding requirement to a period of not less than the greater of 31 days or the period between regular distributions where a Fund regularly distributes at least 90% of its net tax-exempt interest, if any. No such regulations have been issued as of the date of this SAI. The loss disallowance rules described in this paragraph do not apply to losses realized under a periodic redemption plan.

Foreign Taxes

Amounts realized by a Fund from sources within foreign countries may be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by such countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes. If more than 50% of the value of a Fund’s total assets at the close of its taxable year consists of securities of non-U.S. corporations, the Fund will be eligible to file an annual election with the IRS pursuant to which the Fund may pass-through to its shareholders on a pro rata basis foreign income and similar taxes paid by the Fund, which may be claimed, subject to certain limitations, either as a tax credit or deduction by the shareholders. Only the International Fund expects to qualify for the election. However, even if the International Fund qualifies for the election for a year, it may not make the election for such year. The Fund will notify each shareholder within 60 days after the close of the Fund’s taxable year whether it has elected for the foreign taxes paid by the Fund to “pass-through” for that year.

Even if a Fund qualifies for and makes the election, foreign income and similar taxes will only pass-through to the Fund’s shareholders if the Fund and its shareholders meet certain holding period requirements. Specifically, (i) the shareholders must have held the Fund shares for at least 16 days during the 31-day period beginning 15 days prior to the date upon which the shareholders became entitled to receive Fund distributions corresponding with the pass-through of such foreign taxes paid by the Fund, and (ii) with respect to dividends received by the Fund on foreign shares giving rise to such foreign taxes, the Fund must have held the shares for at least 16 days during the 31-day period beginning 15 days prior to the date upon which the Fund became entitled to the dividend. These holding periods increase for certain dividends on preferred stock. The International Fund may choose not to make the election if the Fund has not satisfied its holding requirement.

If the International Fund makes the election, the Fund will not be permitted to claim a credit or deduction for foreign taxes paid in that year, and the Fund’s dividends paid deduction will be increased by the amount of foreign taxes paid that year. Fund shareholders that have satisfied the holding period requirements shall include their proportionate share of the foreign taxes paid by the Fund in their gross income and treat that amount as paid by

them for the purpose of the foreign tax credit or deduction. If such shareholder claims a credit for foreign taxes paid, the credit will be limited to the extent it exceeds the shareholder’s federal income tax attributable to foreign source taxable income or the amount specified in the notice mailed to that shareholder within 60 days after the close of the year. If the credit is attributable, wholly or in part, to qualified dividend income (as defined below), special rules will be used to limit the credit in a manner that reflects any resulting dividend rate differential.

In general, an individual with $300 or less of creditable foreign taxes may elect to be exempt from the foreign source taxable income and qualified dividend income limitations if the individual has no foreign source income other than qualified passive income. This $300 threshold is increased to $600 for joint filers. A deduction for foreign taxes paid may only be claimed by shareholders that itemize their deductions.

Federal Income Tax Rates

As of the printing of this SAI, the maximum stated federal income tax rate applicable to individuals is 35% for ordinary income and 15% for net capital gain.

Current federal income tax law also provides for a maximum individual federal income tax rate applicable to “qualified dividend income” equal to the highest net long-term capital gains rate, which generally is 15%. In general, “qualified dividend income” is income attributable to dividends received from certain domestic and foreign corporations, as long as certain holding period requirements are met and the dividends are attributable to qualified dividends received by the Fund itself. If 95% or more of a Fund’s gross income constitutes qualified dividend income, all of its distributions generally will be treated as qualified dividend income in the hands of individual shareholders, as long as they have owned their Fund shares for at least 61 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the Fund’s ex-dividend date. If less than 95% of the Fund’s income is attributable to qualified dividend income, then only the portion of the Fund’s distributions that are attributable to and designated as such in a timely manner will be so treated in the hands of individual shareholders. Only dividends from direct investments will qualify. Payments received by the Fund derived from securities lending, repurchase and other derivative transactions ordinarily will not. The rules attributable to the qualification of Fund distribution as qualified dividend income are complex, including the holding period requirements. Individual Fund shareholders therefore are urged to consult their own tax advisors and financial planners.

The maximum stated corporate federal income tax rate applicable to ordinary income and net capital gain is 35%. Actual marginal tax rates may be higher for some shareholders, for example through reductions in deductions. Naturally, the amount of tax payable by any taxpayer will be affected by a combination of tax laws covering, for example, deductions, credits, deferrals, exemptions, sources of income and other matters. Federal income tax rates are set to increase in future years under various “sunset” provisions of laws enacted in 2001 and 2003.

Backup Withholding

The Corporation may be required to withhold, subject to certain exemptions, an amount equal to 28% of all distributions and redemption proceeds (including proceeds from exchanges and redemptions in-kind) paid or credited to a Fund shareholder, if the shareholder fails to furnish the Fund with a correct “taxpayer identification number” (“TIN”), generally the shareholder’s social security or employer identification number, if (when required to do so) the shareholder fails to certify under penalty of perjury that the TIN provided is correct and that the shareholder is not subject to backup withholding, or if the IRS has notified the Corporation that the shareholder’s TIN is incorrect or that the shareholder is subject to backup withholding. This backup withholding is not an additional tax imposed on the shareholder. If backup withholding provisions are applicable, any distributions or proceeds, whether paid in cash or received in additional shares, will be reduced by the amounts required to be withheld. The shareholder may credit the amounts required to be withheld as a credit against his or her federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS. An investor must provide a valid TIN upon opening or reopening an account. The rate of backup withholding is set to increase in future years under “sunset” provisions of law enacted in 2001.

Tax-Deferred Plans

The shares of the Funds may be available for a variety of tax-deferred retirement and other tax-advantaged plans and accounts, including IRAs, Simplified Employee Pension Plans (“SEP-IRAs”), Savings Incentive Match Plans for Employees (“SIMPLE Plans”), Roth IRAs, and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts. Prospective investors should contact their tax advisors and financial planners regarding the tax consequences to them of holding Fund shares through a tax-advantaged plan or account.

Corporate Shareholders

Subject to limitation and other rules, a corporate shareholder of a Fund may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction on Fund distributions attributable to dividends received by the Fund attributable to domestic corporations if the corporate shareholder would qualify for such deduction if the Fund were not a regulated investment company. The dividends-received deduction may be subject to certain reductions, and a distribution by a Fund attributable to dividends of a domestic corporation will only be eligible for the deduction if: certain holding period requirements are met. These requirements are complex and, therefore, corporate shareholders of the Funds are urged to consult their own tax advisors and financial planners.

Foreign Shareholders

With respect to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005 and before January 1, 2008, distributions designated by a Fund as “interest-related distributions” generally attributable to the Fund’s net interest income earned on certain debt obligations paid to a nonresident alien individual, a foreign trust (i.e., a trust other than a trust which a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over administration of that trust and one or more U.S. persons have authority to control substantial decisions of that trust), a foreign estate (i.e., the income of which is not subject to U.S. tax regardless of source) or a foreign corporation (each, a “foreign shareholder”) generally will be exempt from federal income tax withholding tax, provided the Fund obtains a properly completed and signed certificate of foreign status from such foreign shareholder (“exempt foreign shareholder”). In order to qualify for an interest-related distribution, the Fund must designate a distribution as such not later than 60 days after the close of the Fund’s taxable year. Distributions made to exempt foreign shareholders attributable to net investment income from other sources, such as dividends received by a Fund, generally will be subject to non-refundable federal income tax withholding at a 30% rate (or such lower rate provided under an applicable income tax treaty). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a distribution described above is “effectively connected” with a U.S. trade or business (or, if an income tax treaty applies, is attributable to a permanent establishment) of the recipient foreign shareholder, federal income tax withholding and exemptions attributable to foreign persons will not apply and the distribution will be subject to the tax, reporting and withholding requirements generally applicable to U.S. persons.

In general, a foreign shareholder’s capital gains realized on the disposition of Fund shares, capital gain distributions and, with respect to taxable years of a Fund beginning on or after January 1, 2005 and before January 1, 2008, “short-term capital gain distributions” (defined below) are not subject to federal income tax withholding, provided that the Fund obtains a properly completed and signed certificate of foreign status, unless: (i) such gains or distributions are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business (or, if an income tax treaty applies, is attributable to a permanent establishment) of the foreign shareholder; (ii) in the case of an individual foreign shareholder, the shareholder is present in the U.S. for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the year of the sale and certain other conditions are met; or (iii) with respect to taxable years of a Fund beginning on or after January 1, 2005, and before January 1, 2008, such gains or distributions are attributable to gain from the sale or exchange of a U.S. real property interest. If such gains or distributions are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business or are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of the foreign shareholder pursuant to an income tax treaty, the tax, reporting and withholding requirements applicable to U.S. persons generally will apply to the foreign shareholder. If such gains or distributions are not effectively connected for this purpose, but the foreign shareholder meets the requirements of clause (ii) described above, such gains and distributions will be subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding tax at a 30% rate (or such lower rate provided under an applicable income tax treaty). Gains or distributions attributable to gain from sales or exchanges of U.S. real property interests are taxed to a foreign shareholder as if that gain were effectively connected with the shareholder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business,

and therefore such gains or distributions may be required to be reported by a foreign shareholder on a U.S. federal income tax return. Such gains or distributions also will be subject to U.S. income tax at the rates applicable to U.S. holders and/or may be subject to federal income tax withholding. While the Funds do not expect Fund shares to constitute U.S. real property interests, a portion of a Fund’s distributions may be attributable to gain from the sale or exchange of U.S. real property interests. Foreign shareholders should contact their tax advisors and financial planners regarding the tax consequences to them of such distributions. “Short-term capital gain distributions” are distributions designated as such from a Fund in a written notice mailed by the Fund to its shareholders not later than 60 days after the close of the Fund’s taxable year generally attributable to its net short-term capital gain.

Even if permitted to do so, the Funds provide no assurance that they will designate any distributions as interest-related distributions or short-term capital gain distributions. Even if a Fund makes such designations, if you hold Fund shares through an intermediary, no assurance can be made that your intermediary will respect such designations.

If a foreign shareholder is a resident of a foreign country but is not a citizen or resident of the United States at the time of the shareholder’s death, Fund shares will be deemed property situated in the United States and will be subject to federal estate taxes (at graduated rates of 18% to 55% of the total value, less allowable deductions and credits). Under recently enacted tax legislation, with respect to estates of decedents dying after December 31, 2004, and before January 1, 2008, if a foreign shareholder is a resident of a foreign country but is not a citizen or resident of the United States at the time of the shareholder’s death, Fund shares will not be deemed property situated in the United States in the proportion that, at the end of the quarter of the Fund’s taxable year immediately preceding the shareholder’s date of death, the assets of the Fund that were “qualifying assets” (i.e., bank deposits, debt obligations or property not within the United States) with respect to the decedent bore to the total assets of the Fund. In general, no federal gift tax will be imposed on gifts of Fund shares made by foreign shareholders.

The availability of reduced U.S. taxes pursuant to the 1972 Convention or the applicable estate tax convention depends upon compliance with established procedures for claiming the benefits thereof, and may, under certain circumstances, depend upon the foreign shareholder making a satisfactory demonstration to U.S. tax authorities that the shareholder qualifies as a foreign person under federal income tax laws and the 1972 Convention.

Special rules apply to foreign partnerships and those holding Fund shares through foreign partnerships. If a Fund qualifies and makes an election to pass-through foreign taxes to its shareholders, foreign shareholders of the Fund generally will be subject to increased federal income taxation without a corresponding benefit for the pass-through.

Additional Considerations for the Municipal Bond Fund

If at least 50% of the value of a regulated investment company’s total assets at the close of each quarter of its taxable years consists of obligations the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax, it will qualify under the Code to pay “exempt-interest distributions.” The Municipal Bond Fund intends to so qualify and is designed to provide shareholders with a high level of income exempt from federal income tax in the form of exempt-interest distributions.

Distributions of capital gains or income not attributable to interest on the Municipal Bond Fund’s tax-exempt obligations will not constitute exempt-interest distributions and will be taxable to its shareholders. The exemption of interest income derived from investments in tax-exempt obligations for federal income tax purposes may not result in a similar exemption under the laws of a particular state or local taxing authority.

Not later than 60 days after the close of its taxable year, the Municipal Bond Fund will notify its shareholders of the portion of the distributions for the taxable year which constitutes exempt-interest distributions. The designated portion cannot exceed the excess of the amount of interest excludable from gross income under Section 103 of the Code received by the Fund during the taxable year over any amounts disallowed as deductions under Sections 265 and 171(a)(2) of the Code. Interest on indebtedness incurred to purchase or carry shares of the Municipal Bond Fund will not be deductible to the extent that the Fund’s distributions are exempt from federal income tax.

In addition, certain deductions and exemptions have been designated “tax preference items” which must be added back to taxable income for purposes of calculating federal AMT. Tax preference items include tax-exempt interest on “private activity bonds.” To the extent that the Municipal Bond Fund invests in private activity bonds, its shareholders will be required to report that portion of the Fund’s distributions attributable to income from the bonds as a tax preference item in determining their federal AMT, if any. Shareholders will be notified of the tax status of distributions made by the Fund. Persons who may be “substantial users” (or “related persons” of

substantial users) of facilities financed by private activity bonds should consult their tax advisors before purchasing shares in the Municipal Bond Fund. Furthermore, shareholders will not be permitted to deduct any of their share of the Municipal Bond Fund’s expenses in computing their federal AMT. In addition, exempt-interest distributions paid by the Municipal Bond Fund to a corporate shareholder is included in the shareholder’s “adjusted current earnings” as part of its federal AMT calculation, and may also affect its federal “environmental tax” liability. As of the date of this SAI, individuals are subject to the federal AMT at a maximum rate of 28% and corporations are subject to the federal AMT at a maximum rate of 20%. Shareholders with questions or concerns about the federal AMT should consult their own tax advisors. A significant portion of exempt-interest distributions from the Municipal Bond Fund [may/will] be treated as a “tax preference item,” as discussed above.

The IRS is paying increased attention on whether obligations intended to produce interest exempt from federal income taxation in fact meet the requirements for such exemption. Ordinarily, the Municipal Bond Fund relies on an opinion from the issuer’s bond counsel that interest on the issuer’s obligation will be exempt from federal income taxation. However, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not successfully challenge such exemption, which could cause interest on the obligation to be taxable and could jeopardize the Municipal Bond Fund’s ability to pay exempt-interest distributions.

APPENDIX A

STANDARD AND POOR’S LONG-TERM DEBT RATING DEFINITIONS

AAA—Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor’s. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.

AA—Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal and differs from the higher rated issues only in small degrees.

A—Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher rated categories.

BBB—Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for debt in this category than in higher rated categories.

BB—Debt rated BB has less near-term vulnerability to default than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments. The BB rating category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied BBB-rating.

B—Debt rated B has a greater vulnerability to default but currently has the capacity to meet interest payments and principal repayments. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair capacity or willingness to pay interest and repay principal. The B rating category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied BB or BB-rating.

CCC—Debt rated CCC has a currently identifiable vulnerability to default, and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions to meet timely payment of interest and repayment of principal. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, it is not likely to have the capacity to pay interest and repay principal. The CCC rating category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied B or B-rating.

CC—The rating CC typically is applied to debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied CCC debt rating.

C—The rating C typically is applied to debt subordinated to senior debt which is assigned an actual or implied CCC-debt rating. The C rating may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition has been filed, but debt service payments are continued.

MOODY’S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC. LONG-TERM BOND RATING DEFINITIONS

Aaa—Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as gilt edged. Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.

Aa—Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with the Aaa group, they comprise what are generally known as high grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.

A—Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered as upper medium grade obligations. Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.

BAA—Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as medium grade obligations, (i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured). Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as well.

Ba—Bonds which are Ba are judged to have speculative elements; their future cannot be considered as well assured. Often the protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class.

B—Bonds which are rated B generally lack characteristics of the desirable investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.

Caa—Bonds which are rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues may be in default or there may be present elements of danger with respect to principal or interest.

Ca—Bonds which are rated Ca represent obligations which are speculative in a high degree. Such issues are often in default or have other marked shortcomings.

C—Bonds which are rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds, and issues so rated can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing.

FITCH IBCA, INC. LONG-TERM DEBT RATING DEFINITIONS

AAA—Bonds considered to be investment grade and of the highest credit quality. The obligor has an exceptionally strong ability to pay interest and repay principal, which is unlikely to be affected by reasonably foreseeable events.

AA—Bonds considered to be investment grade and of very high credit quality. The obligor’s ability to pay interest and repay principal is very strong, although not quite as strong as bonds rated AAA. Because bonds rated in the AAA and AA categories are not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable future developments, short-term debt of these issuers is generally rated F-1+.

A—Bonds considered to be investment grade and of high credit quality. The obligor’s ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be strong, but may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances than bonds with higher ratings.

BBB—Bonds considered to be investment grade and of satisfactory credit quality. The obligor’s ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances, however, are more likely to have adverse impact on these bonds, and therefore impair timely payment. The likelihood that the ratings of these bonds will fall below investment grade is higher than for bonds with higher ratings.

BB—Bonds are considered speculative. The obligor’s ability to pay interest and repay principal may be affected over time by adverse economic changes. However, business and financial alternatives can be identified which could assist the obligor in satisfying its debt service requirements.

B—Bonds are considered highly speculative. While bonds in this class are currently meeting debt service requirements, the probability of continued timely payment of principal and interest reflects the obligor’s limited margin of safety and the need for reasonable business and economic activity throughout the life of the issue.

CCC—Bonds have certain identifiable characteristics which, if not remedied, may lead to default. The ability to meet obligations requires an advantageous business and economic environment.

CC—Bonds are minimally protected. Default in payment of interest and/or principal seems probable over time.

C—Bonds are imminent default in payment of interest or principal.

MOODY’S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC. COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

PRIME-1—Issuers rated Prime-1 (or related supporting institutions) have a superior capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. Prime-1 repayment capacity will normally be evidenced by the following characteristics:

•

Leading market positions in well established industries.

•

High rates of return on funds employed.

•

Conservative capitalization structure with moderate reliance on debt and ample asset protection.

•

Broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial charges and high internal cash generation.

•

Well established access to a range of financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.

PRIME-2—Issuers rated Prime-2 (or related supporting institutions) have a strong capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. This will normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser degree. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

STANDARD AND POOR’S COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

A-1—This designation indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely payment is strong. Those issues determined to possess extremely strong safety characteristics are denoted with a plus sign (+) designation.

A-2—Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is satisfactory. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues designated A-1.

FITCH IBCA, INC. COMMERCIAL PAPER RATING DEFINITIONS

F-1—(Highest Credit Quality) Commercial paper assigned this rating is regarded as having the strongest degree of assurance for timely payment.

F-2—(Very Good Credit Quality) Issues assigned this rating reflect an assurance of timely payment, but margin of safety is not as great as in the case of the higher ratings.

APPENDIX B

Old Westbury Funds, Inc.

Proxy Voting Policy

It is the policy of the Board of Directors of Old Westbury Funds, Inc. (the “Board”) to delegate the responsibility for voting proxies relating to portfolio securities to each investment adviser as a part of the adviser’s general management of the portfolio, subject to the Board’s continuing oversight.¹ The following are the guidelines adopted by the Board for the administration of this policy:

Fiduciary Duty

Each adviser to whom authority to vote on behalf of the Old Westbury Funds, Inc. (the “Funds”) is delegated acts as a fiduciary of the Funds and must vote proxies in a manner consistent with the best interest of the Funds and its shareholders.

Review of Policies & Procedures

Each adviser must present to the Board its policies, procedures and other guidelines for voting proxies at least annually, and must notify the Board promptly of material changes to any of these documents. The Board shall review the policies, procedures and other guidelines presented by each adviser to determine that they meet the requirements of this policy.

Voting Record Reporting

Each adviser must include in its Board presentation materials once each year a record of each proxy voted with respect to portfolio securities of the Funds during the year. The report must include a separate report of proxies with respect to which the adviser or its affiliates have such a relationship that proxies presented with respect to those companies give rise to a conflict of interest between the adviser and the Funds indicating the nature of the conflict of interest and how that conflict was resolved with respect to the voting of the proxy.

Sub-advisers

The adviser may, but is not required to further delegate the responsibility for voting proxies relating to portfolio securities to a sub-adviser retained to provide investment advisory services to portfolios of the Funds. If such responsibility is delegated to a sub-adviser, the sub-adviser shall assume the reporting responsibilities of the adviser under these policy guidelines.

Record Retention

Each adviser will maintain such records with respect to the voting of proxies as may be required by the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the rules promulgated thereunder or by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules promulgated thereunder.

Revocation

The delegation of authority by the Board to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Funds is entirely voluntary and may be revoked by the Board, in whole or in part, at any time.

The advisers of the Funds and BISYS Fund Services LP, the Funds’ principal underwriter, are not affiliates. The delegation of authority to the advisers to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities eliminates the potential for conflicts of interest between BISYS Fund Services LP and the Funds’ shareholders from the proxy voting process.

BESSEMER INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT LLC

Proxy Voting Policy Guidelines

Restated as of January 4, 2005

Bessemer generally will vote proxies in accordance with the following guidelines, provided that Bessemer reserves the right to vote in a different manner in any instance if Bessemer believes it to be in the best interest of shareholders.

3.	Auditors

Vote FOR proposals to ratify auditors, unless any of the following apply:

•

An auditor has a financial interest in or association with the company, and is therefore not independent

•

There is reason to believe that the independent auditor has rendered an opinion which is neither accurate nor indicative of the company’s financial position.

4.	Proxy Contests

Voting for Director Nominees in Contested Elections

Votes in a contested election of directors must be evaluated on a CASE-BY-CASE basis, considering the factors that include the long-term financial performance, management’s track record, qualifications of director nominees (both slates), and an evaluation of what each side is offering shareholders.

Vote AGAINST proposals to create a new class of nonvoting or subvoting common stock.

6.	Executive and Director Compensation

ISS will value every award type granted by U.S. companies, using the expanded compensation data disclosed under the SEC’s rules. ISS will include in its analyses an estimated dollar cost for the proposed plan and all continuing plans. This cost, dilution to shareholders’ equity, will also be expressed as a percentage figure for the transfer of shareholder wealth, and will be considered along with dilution to voting power. ISS will evaluate plans proposed by non-U.S. companies using the data available to analyze dilution issues and other plan terms, including plan administration.

Management Proposals Seeking Approval to Reprice Options

Vote in accordance with ISS’s recommendation on shareholder proposals requiring companies to draft reports detailing their executive retirement benefits or requiring shareholder approval of extraordinary pension benefits for senior executives under a company’s supplemental executive retirement plan. Vote AGAINST all other shareholder proposals regarding officer or director compensation.

7.	Poison Pills

Vote FOR shareholder proposals that ask a company to submit its poison pill for shareholder ratification. Vote FOR shareholder proposals to redeem a company’s poison pill and vote AGAINST management proposals to ratify a poison pill.

8.	Mergers and Corporate Restructurings

Vote CASE-BY-CASE on mergers and corporate restructurings based on such features as the fairness opinion, pricing, strategic rationale, and the negotiating process, except vote AGAINST shareholder proposals for the sale of corporate assets or for corporate liquidations if management and ISS both recommend against such proposals.

9.	Reincorporation Proposals

Proposals to change a company’s jurisdiction of incorporation will be evaluated by giving consideration to both financial and corporate governance concerns, including the reasons for reincorporating, a comparison of the governance provisions, and a comparison of the jurisdictional laws.

Social and Environmental Issues

These issues cover a wide range of topics, including consumer and public safety, environment and energy, general corporate issues, labor standards and human rights, military business, and workplace diversity, and will be evaluated as to whether the proposal will enhance the economic value of the company. In general, vote AGAINST shareholder proposals unless recommended by company management.

11.

Issues in Countries with Share Blocking

Share blocking (the practice in some countries of prohibiting a shareholder from selling its shares for a specified period once it has cast its vote on an upcoming proxy) imposes a significant burden on shareholders in terms of reduced liquidity. Even in countries that permit unblocking, a lengthy delay is involved before a shareholder can execute a desired sale of securities. As a result of the potential inability of to sell shares when needed, Bessemer will NOT VOTE proxies in companies located in countries that practice share blocking.

12.

Other Issues

All other issues are voted in accordance with the presumption that Bessemer will vote FOR proposals recommended by management and AGAINST shareholder proposals unless recommended by management.

13.

Conflicts of Interest

In those situations where Bessemer determines that there is a potential conflict of interest, Bessemer will either retain an independent fiduciary to vote the proxy or will refer the proxy to the governing board of the relevant investment company or to the client institution.

DIMENSIONAL FUND ADVISORS INC.

PROXY VOTING POLICIES

Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc. has adopted certain Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (the “Voting Policies”) and Proxy Voting Guidelines (“Voting Guidelines”) for voting proxies on behalf of clients. The Investment Committee at Dimensional is generally responsible for overseeing the implementation of Dimensional’s proxy voting process. The Investment Committee may designate one or more of its members to oversee specific, on-going compliance with respect to the Voting Policies and may designate other personnel of Dimensional to vote proxies on behalf of its clients, including all authorized traders of Dimensional.

Dimensional votes proxies in a manner it believes to be consistent with the best interests of its clients. Generally, Dimensional analyzes proxy statements on behalf of its clients in accordance with the Voting Policies and the Voting Guidelines. Most proxies that Dimensional receives will be voted in accordance with the predetermined Voting Guidelines. Since nearly all proxies are voted in accordance with the Voting Guidelines, it normally will not be necessary for Dimensional to make an actual determination of how to vote a particular proxy, thereby largely eliminating conflicts of interest for Dimensional during the proxy voting process. However, the Proxy Policies do address the procedures to be followed if a conflict of interest arises between the interests of Dimensional’s clients, and the interests of Dimensional or its affiliates. If an Investment Committee member has actual knowledge of a conflict of interest and recommends a vote contrary to the Voting Guidelines, Dimensional, prior to voting, will fully disclose the conflict to the client and vote the proxy in accordance with such client’s direction.

The Voting Guidelines summarize Dimensional’s positions on various issues and give a general indication as to how Dimensional will vote proxies on each issue. Dimensional will usually vote proxies in accordance with the Voting Guidelines. However, Dimensional reserves the right to vote certain issues counter to the Voting Guidelines if, after a review of the matter (which analysis will be documented in writing), Dimensional believes that a client’s best interests would be served by such vote. To the extent that the Voting Guidelines do not address a potential voting issue, Dimensional will vote on such issue in a manner that is consistent with the spirit of the Voting Guidelines and that Dimensional believes would be in the best interest of the client. Pursuant to the Voting Guidelines, Dimensional generally votes for matters such as: (i) routine business decisions (such as stock splits, name changes and setting the number of directors); (ii) reverse anti-takeover amendments; (iii) auditors; (iv) directors; (v) proposals establishing or increasing indemnification of directors; (vi) proposals eliminating or reducing director’s liability; (vii) equal access to the proxy; (viii) the right to act by written consent of shareholders and to hold special meetings of shareholders; (ix) the separation of audit and consulting responsibilities; and (x) confidential voting. As provided in the Voting Guidelines, Dimensional generally votes against matters such as: (i) anti-takeover measures (such as reincorporation to facilitate a takeover defense, adoption of fair price amendments, institution of classified boards of directors, elimination of cumulative voting and creation of super majority provisions); (ii) the issuance of a new class of stock with unequal voting rights; and (iii) blank

check preferred stock proposals. The Voting Guidelines also provide that Dimensional will generally consider on an individual basis such proposals as: (i) increasing authorized common stock; (ii) establishing or increasing a stock option plan or other employee compensation plan; (iii) approving a reorganization or merger; (iv) approving a proposal by a dissident shareholder in a proxy battle; and (v) issues related to independent directors.

Under certain circumstances, Dimensional may not be able to vote proxies or Dimensional may find that the expected economic costs from voting outweigh the benefits associated with voting. Generally, Dimensional does not vote proxies on foreign securities due to local restrictions, customs or anticipated expenses.
