Important Proxy Materials

PLEASE VOTE TODAY

Dear Shareholder:

A Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Pacific Advisors Funds (the "Funds") will be held on October 27, 2010. Shareholders will be asked to elect directors for the Funds' Board and vote on proposals to change the Funds' fundamental policy regarding borrowing, and changes the investment objectives of the Multi-Cap Value Fund, and the Growth Fund. As described more fully in the attached proxy statement, the proposed amendment to the Funds' fundamental policy regarding borrowing will provide the Funds with expanded ability to borrow money to the extent permitted by applicable law. The investment objective of each of the Multi-Cap Value Fund and the Growth Fund are proposed to be changed to "long-term capital appreciation."

•  Pacific Global Investment Management Company (the "Manager") believes the proposal regarding borrowing will benefit the Funds by, among other things, giving the Manager greater investment management flexibility to strategically manage investment opportunities in a variety of market conditions and allow the Manager to buy and sell portfolio securities primarily for investment considerations rather than for cash flow considerations.

•  The Manager believes the changes in investment objectives will, in connection with other planned changes to the investment strategy, benefit the Multi-Cap Value Fund and the Growth Fund by providing a clearer description of the portfolio holdings and the investment strategy of these Funds.

We encourage you to review the enclosed materials for more detail on each of the proposals.

The Funds' Board of Directors has carefully considered these proposals and believes that they are in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders. The Board unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" these proposals.



Your vote is important. We need your vote regardless of how many shares you own. Your prompt response will help the Funds avoid the expense of additional follow-up mailings.

Please vote today by completing, signing and returning your proxy ballot in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. If you have questions, please call us toll-free at (800) 282-6693. Thank you for taking the time to participate in this important initiative.

Sincerely,

George A. Henning
Chairman and President



SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF THE:

Government Securities Fund
Income and Equity Fund
Balanced Fund
  Growth Fund
Multi-Cap Value Fund
Small Cap Fund
 

 

The meeting will be held at the offices of Pacific Advisors Fund Inc. (the "Company"), 101 North Brand Boulevard, Suite 1950, Glendale, California 91203, on October 27, 2010, at 1:00 p.m.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Please read the enclosed Proxy Statement in its entirety. The following summary provides an overview of the Proposals and the voting process. Your vote matters; please return your proxy ballot today. If you have questions regarding the Proposals or how to vote your shares, please call Shareholder Services at (800) 282-6693 between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time.

•  Why am I being asked to vote?

As of the record date on August 27, 2010, you were a shareholder of one or more of the Pacific Advisors Funds listed above (each a "Fund," and collectively, the "Funds"). The Funds' Board of Directors (the "Board") has approved these Proposals and unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" each Proposal.

•  What am I being asked to vote on?

You are being asked to vote to:

1.  Elect Directors of the Funds. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), requires that at least two-thirds of a fund's board members have been elected by its shareholders before the board may fill a vacancy. The Company is close to the two-thirds minimum requirement. Electing directors now will give the Board the flexibility to appoint directors to fill future vacancies without the expense of conducting additional shareholder meetings. Information about the nominees and the Board's structure is provided in Proposal 1.



2.  Approve the amendment of the Funds' current fundamental investment policy regarding borrowing that is more restrictive than required under present law. This change will give Pacific Global Investment Management Company (the "Manager") greater investment management flexibility to strategically manage investment opportunities in a variety of market conditions and allow the Manager to buy and sell portfolio securities primarily for investment considerations rather than for cash flow considerations.

3.  Approve a change in the investment objective of the Growth Fund to "long-term capital appreciation." Proposal 3 only applies to shareholders of the Growth Fund. The Board has approved changes to the Fund's name, investment objective and investment strategy. These changes are intended to more narrowly focus the Fund's investment strategy to invest primarily in large cap stocks, and specifically position the Fund as a large cap value fund. The change in investment objective requires shareholder approval. The proposed changes to the Fund's name and investment strategy are contingent on shareholder approval of the change in investment objective.

4.  Approve a change in the investment objective of the Multi-Cap Value Fund to "long-term capital appreciation." Proposal 4 only applies to shareholders of the Multi-Cap Value Fund. The Board has approved changes to the Fund's name, investment objective and investment strategy. These changes are intended to more narrowly focus the Fund's investment strategy to invest primarily in mid-cap stocks, and specifically position the Fund as a mid-cap value fund. . The change in investment objective requires shareholder approval. The proposed changes to the Fund's name and investment strategy are contingent on shareholder approval of the change in investment objective.

•  Has the Funds' Board approved the Proposals?

The Board has unanimously approved all of the Proposals and recommends that you vote "FOR" each Proposal.

•  Why are these Proposals important for the Funds?

Proposal 1 will give the Board the flexibility to add new directors without a shareholder vote; Proposal 2 will enhance the Funds' ability to manage assets in response to a changing investment environment; and Proposals 3 and 4 will provide a clearer description of the portfolio holdings and the investment strategy of the Growth Fund and Multi-Cap Value Fund, respectively.



•  How many votes am I entitled to cast?

You may vote on the Proposals affecting your Fund(s); you are entitled to one vote for each full share and an appropriate fraction of a vote for each fractional share you held as of the record date on August 27, 2010.

•  How do I vote my shares?

You may vote by completing, signing and mailing the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided or attending the Meeting in person and voting; or, if indicated on your proxy card, by Internet or telephone. If you properly execute your proxy card and give no instruction, your shares will be voted FOR the Proposals.

•  How should I sign the proxy card?

The proxy card must be signed exactly as your name(s) appears in the account registration shown on the proxy card. If you have an:

Individual account: Sign your name exactly as it appears on the account registration.

Joint account: Either accountholder may sign; but the name must match the account registration.

Any other type of account: Any accountholder who signed the PAF Account Application may sign. The person signing must also provide his or her role (e.g., "Trustee," or in the case of a business entity, the officer's title).

•  What if there are not enough votes to approve one or more of the Proposals?

If there are not enough votes to constitute a quorum at the shareholder meeting, the meeting may be adjourned to permit further solicitation of proxies. The approval of each Proposal is determined separately and does not depend on the approval of any other Proposal. If shareholders do not ultimately approve a Proposal, the Funds' (or, if applicable, the respective Fund's) current policy will remain in effect.

You can help reduce shareholder costs by voting promptly.

Your vote is important, regardless of the number of shares you own. Please read the enclosed material and vote your shares.

PROXY STATEMENT

SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF THE:

Government Securities Fund
Income and Equity Fund
Balanced Fund
  Growth Fund
Multi-Cap Value Fund
Small Cap Fund
 

 

to be held on October 27, 2010.

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Pacific Global Fund, Inc. d/b/a/ Pacific Advisors Fund Inc. ("Company") for use at the Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Government Securities Fund, Income and Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, Growth Fund, Multi-Cap Value Fund, and Small Cap Fund (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") to be held at the offices of the Company, 101 North Brand Boulevard, Suite 1950, Glendale, California 91203, on October 27, 2010, at 1:00 p.m. ("Meeting"), and any adjournment or adjournments thereof. The purpose of the Meeting is to hold a shareholder vote on the following proposals:

Proposal

1.  To elect Directors of the Company.

2.  To approve a change in each Fund's fundamental policy regarding borrowing.

3.  To approve a change to the investment objective of the Growth Fund (applies only to the Growth Fund).

4.  To approve a change to the investment objective of the Multi-Cap Value Fund (applies only to the Multi-Cap Value Fund).

Each proposal will be implemented if approved by shareholders of the relevant Fund(s), as applicable, and is not contingent on the approval of any other proposal.

This Proxy Statement is being first mailed to shareholders on or about September 24, 2010.

WHO MAY VOTE

The Funds' shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 27, 2010 ("Record Date"), are entitled to notice of and to vote at


1



the Meeting. Each shareholder of the Funds is entitled to one vote for each full share and an appropriate fraction of a vote for each fractional share held. Each Fund's shareholders may vote only on the proposal relating to their Fund, as shown in the Table above.

The number of shares outstanding of each class of each Fund on the Record Date can be found in Exhibit A.

For a free copy of the Funds' most recent Annual Report or Semi-Annual Report, write to us at Pacific Advisors Fund Inc., 101 N. Brand Blvd., Suite 1950, Glendale, CA 91203, or call, toll-free, (800) 282-6693, between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time.

VOTING PROCEDURE

You may vote on the proposal affecting your Fund(s) by (i) completing the enclosed proxy card, signing it and mailing it back to us in the envelope provided; (ii) attending the Meeting in person and voting; or (iii) if indicated on your proxy card, by Internet or telephone. All proxy cards solicited by the Board that are properly executed and received by the Secretary prior to the Meeting, and are not revoked, will be voted at the Meeting. You may revoke your proxy at any time prior to its exercise at the Meeting by written notice to the Secretary, by executing a subsequent proxy, or by voting in person at the Meeting.

Shares represented by proxy cards will be voted in accordance with the instructions on the card. If you properly execute your proxy card and give no instruction, your shares will be voted FOR the matters specified on the proxy card. Only proxies that are voted will be counted towards establishing a quorum. Shareholders should note that while votes to ABSTAIN will count toward establishing a quorum, passage of any proposal being considered at the Meeting will occur only if a sufficient number of votes are cast FOR the proposal. Accordingly, votes to ABSTAIN and votes AGAINST will have the same effect in determining whether the proposal is approved.

Under the Company's By-Laws, a quorum is constituted by the presence in person or by proxy of shareholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the Meeting. The presence of a quorum will be determined separately for each Fund. If a quorum is not present at the Meeting, or if a quorum is present at the Meeting but sufficient votes to approve one or more proposals are not received, the persons named as proxy agents may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of those shares represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy. If a quorum is present, the persons named as proxies will vote those proxies that they are entitled to vote FOR the proposal in favor of such an


2



adjournment, and will vote those proxies required to be voted AGAINST any such proposal against such adjournment. A shareholder vote may be taken on one or more items in this proxy statement if sufficient votes have been received and it is otherwise appropriate.

Broker non-votes are shares held in street name for which the broker indicates that instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and the broker does not have discretionary voting power. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as shares that are present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present but will not be voted for or against any adjournment or proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted, however, as votes cast for purposes of determining whether sufficient votes have been received to approve the proposal. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes effectively will be a vote against adjournment or against the proposal, for which the required vote is a percentage of the shares present.

VOTE REQUIRED FOR EACH PROPOSAL

PROPOSAL 1: The affirmative vote of a plurality of votes cast by the shareholders of the Company is necessary to elect directors of the Company at the Special Meeting, meaning that the director nominee with the most affirmative votes for a particular slot is elected for that slot. Abstentions will not count as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

PROPOSALS 2 – 4: Approval of Proposals 2, 3 and 4 require the affirmative vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the appropriate Fund. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), the vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting securities present at the meeting or represented by proxy if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities.

Each share class of each Fund will be counted together in determining the vote under each proposal set forth in this Proxy Statement.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The purpose of Proposal 1 is to elect directors ("Directors") of the Board of Directors ("Board") for the Funds. You are being asked to vote for the election of Directors for the Funds.

Seven Directors are proposed to be elected ("nominees"). Five of the nominees were elected by the Funds' shareholders at a meeting of


3



shareholders in February 1992. Dr. Takashi Makinodan was appointed by the Board in 1995. Mr. Peter C. Hoffman is newly nominated for election at this Meeting.

It is intended that the enclosed proxy will be voted FOR the election of each of the nominees, unless such authority has been withheld in the proxy. If elected, each Director will serve during the lifetime of the Company until he or she dies, resigns, or is removed, or, if sooner, until the next meeting of shareholders called for the purpose of electing Directors and until the election and qualification of his or her successor.

For purposes of this Proxy Statement, Directors who are interested persons of the Company, within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, as amended, are referred to as "interested Directors," while Directors who are not interested persons of the Company are referred to as "disinterested Directors." The current Directors include two interested Directors and four disinterested Directors. If all nominees are elected at the Meeting, the Board will consist of seven members, two of whom would be interested Directors.

The disinterested Director nominees do not beneficially own any securities in the investment manager or distributor of the Company, or a person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment manager or principal underwriter of the Company, as of December 31, 2009.

Each nominee who is a current Director serves as a Director of the six (6) Funds that comprise the mutual funds advised by Pacific Global Investment Management Company ("Pacific Global," or the "Manager").

Each nominee has consented to serve as a Director if elected. If, for any reason, any nominee should not be available for election or be able to serve as a Director, the proxies will exercise their voting power in favor of such substitute nominee, if any, as the Board may designate. The Company has no reason to believe that it will be necessary to designate a substitute nominee.

In the event a vacancy occurs on the Board for any reason, the remaining Directors may fill such vacancy by appointing another Director, so long as, immediately after such appointment, at least two-thirds of the Directors have been elected by shareholders. If, at any time, less than a majority of the Directors holding office has been elected by the shareholders, the Directors then in office will call a shareholder meeting for the election of Directors. Otherwise, there normally will be no meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing Directors.

2 Nominee only.

Beneficial ownership shown in the table above was determined in accordance with Rule 16a-1(a)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"), and should not be deemed an admission that any Director or any member of his or her immediate family is, for purposes of Section 16 of the 1934 Act or otherwise, the beneficial owner of those securities.

As of August 20, 2010, the Directors and Officers of the Company, as a group, owned 5.59% of the outstanding shares of the Growth Fund, 1.21% of the outstanding shares of the Multi-Cap Value Fund and less than 1% of outstanding shares of the Government Securities, Balanced, Income and Equity, and the Small Cap Funds.

Officer and Director Compensation

The Officers of the Company and the Directors who are interested persons of the Company receive no compensation directly from the


8



Company for performing the duties of their offices. They may receive remuneration indirectly as a result of their positions with the Manager or other affiliates. The Directors who are not interested persons receive fees and expenses for Board and Committee meetings attended. Currently, each disinterested Director receives a fee at an annual rate of $6,000 ($1,500 per quarter of service), plus the following compensation plus reasonable expenses: $1,500 per Board meeting attended ($750 for telephonic participation) and $750 per in-person Committee meeting attended ($375 for telephonic participation or for telephonic meetings). The aggregate compensation paid by the Company during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 to each of the Directors who is not an interested person of the Company is set forth in the table below. The Company does not maintain any retirement or pension plans.

    Total Compensation  
L. Michael Haller   $ 14,250    
Takashi Makinodan   $ 12,750    
Gerald E. Miller   $ 14,250    
Louise K. Taylor   $ 14,250    
Peter C. Hoffman1     None1    

 

1 Mr. Hoffman was not a disinterested Director of the Funds as of the most recent fiscal year-end; therefore, Mr. Hoffman did not receive any compensation from the Funds during 2009.

Meetings of the Board of Directors

The Board held four meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. No incumbent Director during the period attended fewer than 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board and the total number of meetings held by committees of the Board on which the Director served.

The Fund is not required to hold annual meetings and therefore does not have a policy with regard to Directors' attendance at such meetings. The Company did not hold an annual meeting during the prior year.

Qualifications and Experience

Following is a brief discussion, for each nominee, of the particular experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that led to the conclusion that the nominee should serve as a Director. In reaching their conclusions, the Directors considered various facts and circumstances and did not identify any factor as controlling, and individual Directors may have considered additional factors or weighed the same factors differently.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board is responsible for oversight of the Company, including risk oversight and oversight of Company management. The Board consists of four disinterested Directors and two interested Directors. The disinterested Directors have retained outside independent legal


11



counsel and meet at least quarterly with that counsel in executive session without the interested Directors and Company management.

The Chairman of the Board is an interested Director. The Chairman presides at all meetings of the Board at which the Chairman is present. The Chairman exercises such powers as are assigned to him by the Company's organizational and operating documents and by the Board of Directors, which may include acting as a liaison with service providers, Company officers, attorneys and other Directors between meetings. The four disinterested Directors exercise their majority power and authority equally, and have not designated a lead disinterested Director.

The Board has established a committee structure to assist the Board in administering its oversight function that includes an Audit Committee, a Nominating Committee, and an Executive Committee. The Audit Committee and the Nominating Committee are comprised exclusively of disinterested Directors. The committee structure facilitates orderly and efficient communication among the disinterested Directors, Company management, service providers, and the full Board.

The Company has determined that the Board's leadership structure is appropriate given the characteristics and circumstances of the Company, including such matters as the independence of a majority of the Directors, the size of the Board, the independence of all of the members of the Audit and Nominating Committees, the retention of outside independent legal counsel for the disinterested Directors, the number of Funds that comprise the Company, the net assets of the Company, the Company's business and structure, and the potential cost of an independent Chairman.

Risk Oversight

Consistent with its general oversight responsibilities, the Board oversees risk management of each Fund. As part of its oversight of risks, the Board or its Committees receive and consider reports from a number of parties, such as the Manager, Company officers, and Company service providers. For example, the Board and the Audit Committee receive regular reports from the Principal Financial Officer on the Company's internal controls and accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and procedures. In addition, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm reports at least twice annually to the Audit Committee on internal control and accounting and financial reporting matters. The Board also meets with the Company's Chief Compliance Officer at least quarterly to discuss compliance issues, and the Board receives a written report from the Chief Compliance Officer at least annually that addresses the


12



compliance policies and procedures of the Company, the Manager, the Distributor, and the Transfer Agent. In addition, the disinterested Directors meet with the Chief Compliance Officer at least annually in executive session.

The Board also adopts and periodically reviews policies and procedures intended to address risks and monitors efforts to assess the effectiveness of the implementation of the policies and procedures in addressing risks. It is possible, that despite the Board's oversight of risk, not all risks will be identified, mitigated or addressed. Further, certain risks may arise that were unforeseen.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The Company has an Audit Committee, an Executive Committee, and a Nominating Committee. The respective duties and current memberships are:

Audit Committee: The purpose of the Audit Committee is to seek to enhance the quality of the Company's financial accountability and financial reporting by providing a means for the disinterested Directors to be informed about and oversee the Company's audit functions, to ensure the independence and accountability of the Company's auditors, approve the selection of the Company's auditors, and to review the extent and quality of the auditing efforts. The members of the Audit Committee may consult with the Company's independent auditors, as they deem appropriate, and meet with the Company's independent auditors at least once annually to discuss the scope and results of the annual audit of the Funds and such other matters as the Committee members deem appropriate or desirable. L. Michael Haller, Gerald E. Miller, and Louise K. Taylor are members of the Audit Committee. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Audit Committee met two times.

Executive Committee: During intervals between Board Meetings, the Executive Committee possesses and may exercise all of the powers of the Board in the management of the Company except as to matters when Board action is specifically required; included within the scope of such powers are matters relating to valuation of securities held in each Fund's portfolio and the pricing of each Fund's shares for purchase and redemption. George A. Henning and Victoria Breen are members of the Executive Committee. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Executive Committee did not meet.

Nominating Committee: The Board of Directors has established a Nominating Committee which is responsible for identifying and recommending to the Board of Directors individuals qualified to be directors of the Company, consistent with criteria approved by the


13



Board, for appointment to the Board or to stand for election by the shareholders. The Nominating Committee has sole responsibility to select and nominate disinterested Directors of the Company. The members of the Nominating Committee are: L. Michael Haller, Takashi Makinodan, and Louise Taylor. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Nominating Committee did not meet.

The Nominating Committee does not have a formal diversity policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying potential director nominees but may consider diversity of professional experience, education and skills when evaluating potential nominees for Board membership.

A copy of the Nominating Committee's charter is included as Exhibit B to this Proxy Statement. The Company currently does not maintain a copy of the charter on the Funds' website located at www.pacificadvisorsfunds.com, although it may do so in the future. The Committee will consider disinterested Director candidates recommended by Fund shareholders. Any such candidates will be considered based upon the same criteria applied to candidates presented to the Committee by a search firm or other sources. The names of such candidates should be submitted to the Committee in writing at the address maintained for communications with disinterested Directors, as described below. The submission should be accompanied by appropriate background material concerning the candidate that demonstrates the candidate's ability to serve as a disinterested Director of the Company. In evaluating disinterested Director candidates, the Committee will consider the candidate's independence and such other criteria as the Committee deems appropriate, including, without limitation, age, integrity, skills, expertise, breadth of experience, and knowledge about the Company's business or industry. All nominees should have at least a bachelor's degree and experience in a position involving familiarity with investments or financial matters. All nominees must be willing and able to devote adequate time and effort to his or her duties and responsibilities as a disinterested Director.

Process for Communicating with the Board of Directors

Shareholders may communicate with the Board or one or more specified Directors by writing to the Board or the specified Directors, as applicable, at Pacific Advisors Fund Inc., 101 N. Brand Blvd., Suite 1950, Glendale, CA 91203, Attention: Secretary. Any such communications received will be reviewed by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting. The current process for collecting and organizing shareholder communications requires that the Board receive copies of all communications addressed to it.

Independent Accountants

Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") has been selected as the independent accountant for the Company for the current and past fiscal years. Representatives of E&Y are not expected to be present at the Meeting but have been given the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available should any matter arise requiring their presence.

For the prior two fiscal years ended December 31, the Company did not consult with E&Y on items which concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements or concerned the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).

Fees for Services

The following table shows fees billed by E&Y during the prior two fiscal years for audit, audit-related, tax and other services provided to the Company.

Fiscal Year   Audit Fees   Audit-Related Fees   Tax Fees1   All Other Fees  
  2008     $ 141,000     $ 2,000     $ 28,000     $ 0    
  2009     $ 150,000     $ 2,500     $ 29,500     $ 0    

 

1 Fees shown are the aggregate fees billed each year for professional services by E&Y to the Company for tax compliance, tax advice and tax return review.

During the prior two fiscal years ended December 31, E&Y did not provide any services to the Manager or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Manager that provided ongoing services to the Company (together with the Manager, "Service Affiliates") that were directly related to the Company's operations and financial reporting. As detailed in the table above, aggregate amount of non-audit fees billed to the Company or a Service Affiliate by E&Y were $28,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and $29,500 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Audit Committee Approval of Non-Audit Services

The Audit Committee is authorized to approve non-audit services provided by the Corporation's auditors, if they find it appropriate in light of their fiduciary duties and in the exercise of their good faith business judgment and compatible with the auditors' independence. The Chairman of the Audit Committee is authorized to pre-approve


15



audit and non-audit services for newly established funds of the Company on the same terms as the full Audit Committee previously had approved for the then existing funds, and to authorize the auditors to perform non-audit services which are permissible under applicable law, provided the estimated fee is not more than $5,000 based on a good faith estimate provided by the auditor. The Chairman shall report any such pre-approval or authorization to the Audit Committee at its next following meeting.

There were no non-audit services rendered by E&Y to the Company, as described above, for which pre-approval by the Audit Committee was waived pursuant to the de minimus exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, as promulgated by the SEC. There were no non-audit services rendered by E&Y to Service Affiliates, as described above, for which pre-approval by the Audit Committee was waived pursuant to the de minimus exception.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" EACH OF THE NOMINEES.

PROPOSAL 2: CHANGE OF FUNDAMENTAL POLICY REGARDING BORROWING

The Funds' current fundamental investment policy regarding borrowing is more restrictive than that required under present law. Under the 1940 Act, "fundamental" investment policies may be changed or eliminated only if shareholders approve such action. The Board is recommending that shareholders approve the amendment of the Funds' fundamental investment policy regarding borrowing to provide the Funds with expanded ability to borrow money and to update the current investment restriction and provide the Funds with the ability to operate under new interpretations of the 1940 Act or pursuant to exemptive relief from the SEC without receiving prior shareholder approval.

The Funds' current fundamental investment policy regarding issuing senior securities and borrowing money reads as follows:

A Fund will not issue any class of securities senior to any other class of securities, although each Fund may borrow for temporary or emergency purposes. Each Fund may borrow up to 15% of its total assets. Each Fund will not borrow money except temporarily from banks to facilitate redemption requests that might otherwise require untimely disposition of portfolio securities. No securities will be purchased for a Fund when borrowed money exceeds 5% of the Fund's total assets.


16



Upon the approval of Proposal 2, the Funds' fundamental investment policy regarding issuing senior securities and borrowing money would be changed to read as follows:

A Fund will not issue any class of securities senior to any other class although each Fund may borrow money to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any rules, exemptions or interpretations thereunder that may be adopted, granted or issued by the SEC.

Under the 1940 Act, a mutual fund may borrow up to 33-1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) from banks for any purpose, and may borrow up to 5% of its total assets from banks or other lenders for temporary purposes. Generally, a loan is considered temporary if it is repaid within sixty days. Funds typically borrow money to meet redemptions or for other short-term cash needs in order to avoid forced, unplanned sales of portfolio securities. This technique allows a fund greater flexibility by allowing its manager to continue to buy and sell portfolio securities primarily for investment or tax considerations, rather than for cash flow considerations.

The proposed fundamental investment policy regarding borrowing is written with reference to the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations thereunder and other applicable law, rather than explicitly stating standards currently in effect. These formulations are intended to allow the Fund's fundamental investment policies to adjust if there are changes in applicable law without requiring a further shareholder vote.

The Board and the Manager believe that revising the Funds' fundamental investment policy regarding borrowing will benefit the Funds and their shareholders. The Board and the Manager believe that the Manager's ability to manage the Funds' assets in a changing investment environment will be enhanced because the Funds will have greater investment management flexibility to respond to market conditions and other circumstances by seeking Board approval only when necessary to revise the Funds' fundamental investment policy regarding borrowing.

To the extent that a Fund uses the borrowing flexibility, that Fund may be subject to some additional costs and risks inherent to borrowing, such as reduced total return and increased volatility. The additional costs and risks to which the Fund may be exposed are limited, however, by the borrowing limitations imposed by the 1940 Act and any other law, rule, exemption or interpretation thereof that may be applicable.

The Manager has advised the Board that it intends to utilize the opportunity to borrow as a component of its investment strategy for


17



the Funds. The Manager has advised the Board that the ability to borrow, beyond the current restriction for temporary or emergency purposes, would provide flexibility in strategically managing investment opportunities in a variety of market conditions and allow the Manager to buy and sell portfolio securities primarily for investment considerations rather than for cash flow considerations. The Manager has advised that the additional flexibility would provide the opportunity to more actively utilize leverage to acquire shares at attractive prices. The Manager has advised that Fund portfolio managers would, for example, be able to accumulate shares in portfolio holdings which have encountered significant price fluctuations or which have been discounted by the market. The Manager currently does not anticipate borrowing in excess of the amount permitted for temporary and emergency purposes under the Funds' current policy. Therefore, the proposed policy is not expected to result in an increase in Fund expenses above current levels.

If Proposal 2 is approved, the following investment strategy with respect to borrowing will become effective for each Fund:

For the Government Securities, Income and Equity, and Balanced Funds, the Manager may utilize borrowing on a temporary basis to facilitate portfolio transactions and redemptions. In the absence of unusual redemption activity, the Manager does not anticipate that borrowing would exceed 15% of total assets.

For the Growth, Multi-Cap Value and Small Cap Funds, the Manager may borrow up to 5% of total assets for strategic investment purposes. Borrowing above 5% of total assets may be used to accommodate redemption activity. The Manager anticipates that, under normal circumstances, total borrowing would be limited to no more than 15% of total assets.

In the future, the Board would be able to approve changes to the Funds' investment strategy regarding borrowing (subject to the limits of the Funds' fundamental investment policy) without a shareholder vote.

On August 20, 2010, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, after a full evaluation of the matters described above, approved the proposed change of fundamental investment policy regarding borrowing.

If Proposal 2 is not approved by shareholders, the current fundamental investment policy will remain in effect.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" PROPOSAL 2.


18



PROPOSAL 3: CHANGE OF INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE OF GROWTH FUND

The Board, on August 20, 2010, approved various changes to the Growth Fund (for purposes of this Proposal 3, the "Fund"), including (i) changing the Fund's name to the Large Cap Value Fund, (ii) changing the Fund's investment objective, and (iii) changing the Fund's principal investment strategies, each as described below. Because a change to the Fund's investment objective requires shareholder approval, the Board approved this change contingent upon receiving shareholder approval of the change in investment objective.

Currently, the Fund invests primarily in large cap stocks that are in the S&P 500 Index1. The Fund's investments are consistent with the Fund's existing investment objective and principal investment strategy. However, the Manager has advised the Board that the proposed changes will provide greater clarity to investors regarding portfolio management of the Fund, and will improve the positioning and marketing strategy of the Fund and for the Company.

Both the Manager and the Board believe this change in the Fund's investment objective is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

Current investment objective:  "Long-term capital appreciation through investment in medium to large capitalization companies."

Proposed investment objective:  "Long-term capital appreciation."

The change to the Fund's investment objective will give the Board some additional flexibility to make appropriate changes to the Fund's investment strategies to respond to new developments and changing trends in the marketplace without the expense of seeking a shareholder vote to make a conforming change the Fund's investment objective.

To support the proposed change in the Fund's investment objective, the Manager has proposed and the Board has approved all of the other changes described below. While these other changes do not require shareholder approval, the implementation of these other changes is contingent upon shareholder approval of the change in the Fund's investment objective.

Fund Name Change. The Board has approved changing the Fund's name to the Large Cap Value Fund to more accurately reflect the focus

1 The Standard & Poor's 500 Index is an unmanaged, market capitalization weighted measure of 500 widely held common stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and The Nasdaq Stock Market.


19



of the Fund on large cap stocks and more easily describe the Fund to shareholders.

Revisions to Investment Strategies. The Board has approved changing the Fund's principal investment strategies to the following:

•  Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in large capitalization companies similar in size to those in the S&P 500 Index.

•  Investing in other domestic companies;

•  Selecting investments using an actively managed, value-based investment approach focusing on the long-term market cycle (at least 3-5 years) to identify investments.

This change is intended to more narrowly focus the Fund's investment strategy to invest primarily in large cap stocks, and more narrowly position the Fund as a large cap value fund.

The Board approved these changes so that the Fund can be strategically and visibly positioned as a value-oriented fund that invests in large, well-known companies. Along with proposed changes for the Multi-Cap Value Fund (Proposal 4), the Company's equity funds would be positioned as a continuum of small cap, mid-cap and large cap value funds. This progression of market capitalizations would facilitate a marketing program that more clearly differentiates each Fund. As a result, the Manager believes that each Fund would be more easily described to shareholders.

The Board anticipates that this proposal, if approved, will be effective on or about December 30, 2010, upon appropriate disclosure being made in the Funds' prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" PROPOSAL 3.

PROPOSAL 4: CHANGE OF INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE OF MULTI-CAP VALUE FUND

The Board, on August 20, 2010, approved various changes to the Multi-Cap Value Fund (for purposes of this Proposal 4, the "Fund"), including (i) changing the Fund's name to the Mid Cap Value Fund, (ii) changing the Fund's investment objective, and (iii) changing the Fund's principal investment strategies, each as described below. Because a change to the Fund's investment objective requires shareholder approval, the Board approved this change contingent upon receiving shareholder approval of the change in investment objective.


20



Currently, the Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of small, mid-size and large capitalization companies. Over the last year, the Fund's portfolio has increasingly emphasized investments in mid-capitalization ("mid-cap") companies which are defined as companies with a total market capitalization of at least $2 billion. The Fund's investments are consistent with the Fund's existing investment objective and principal investment strategy. However, the Manager has advised the Board that the proposed changes will provide greater clarity to investors regarding portfolio management of the Fund, and will improve the positioning and marketing strategy of the Fund and for the Company.

Both the Manager and the Board believe this change in the Fund's investment objective is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

Current investment objective:  "Long-term capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of large to small capitalization companies."

Proposed investment objective:  "Long-term capital appreciation."

The change to the Fund's investment objective will give the Board some additional flexibility to make appropriate changes to the Fund's investment strategies to respond to new developments and changing trends in the marketplace without the expense of seeking a shareholder vote to make a conforming change the Fund's investment objective.

To support the proposed change in the Fund's investment objective, the Manager has proposed and the Board has approved all of the other changes described below. While these other changes do not require shareholder approval, the implementation of these other changes is contingent upon shareholder approval of the change in the Fund's investment objective.

Fund Name Change. The Board has approved changing the Fund's name to the Mid Cap Value Fund to more accurately reflect the focus of the Fund on mid-cap stocks and more easily describe the Fund to shareholders.


21



Revisions to Investment Strategies. The Board has approved changing the Fund's principal investment strategies to the following:

•  Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in mid-capitalization companies that are, at the time of purchase, similar in size to those in the Russell Midcap® Index2.

•  Selecting investments using an actively managed, value-based investment approach focusing on the long-term market cycle (at least 3-5 years) to identify investments.

The Russell Midcap® Index is a subset of the Russell 1000® Index3 and includes approximately 800 of the smallest companies, based on market capitalization and index membership. This change is intended to more narrowly focus the Fund's investment strategy to invest primarily in mid-cap stocks, and more narrowly position the Fund as a mid-cap value fund.

The Board approved these changes so that the Fund can be strategically and visibly positioned as a value-oriented fund that invests in mid-cap companies. Along with proposed changes for the Growth Fund (Proposal 3), the Company's equity funds would be positioned as a continuum of small cap, mid-cap and large cap value funds. This progression of market capitalizations would facilitate a marketing program that more clearly differentiates each Fund. As a result, the Manager believes that each Fund would be more easily described to shareholders.

The Board anticipates that this proposal, if approved, will be effective on or about December 30, 2010, upon appropriate disclosure being made in the Funds' prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" PROPOSAL 4.

2 The Russell Midcap® Index measures the performance of the mid-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Russell Midcap® Index is a subset of the Russell 1000® Index. It includes approximately 800 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell Midcap® Index represents approximately 27% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 companies.

3 The Russell 1000® Index is an unmanaged, market capitalization weighted measure of the 1,000 largest publicly traded companies within the Russell 3000® Index, which represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market.

Notice of all meetings shall be given, and waiver thereof determined, pursuant to the provisions contained in the Company's by-laws. The chairperson will preside, when present, at all meetings of the Committee. Except as expressly provided in this Charter or the bylaws of the Company, the Committee shall fix its own rules of procedure.

The Committee may ask that any director, officer or other employee of the Company, or any other person whose advice or counsel is sought by the Committee, attend any meeting of the Committee to provide such pertinent information as the Committee may deem appropriate. The Committee may exclude any person it deems appropriate.

A copy of the minutes of each meeting and all consents shall be placed in the Company's minute book.

The Committee may form, and delegate authority to, subcommittees when it deems appropriate.

Qualification of Nominees

The Committee shall take into account the applicable requirements for directors under the 1940 Act, including without limitation any requirement that at least a specified percentage of the directors not be interested persons.
