Effective June 30, 2006, Litman/Gregory Fund Advisors,
LLC has opened the Masters’ Select
Focused Opportunities Fund (MSFOX), the fifth
in the Masters’ Select line-up.
The Masters' Select concept utilizes Litman/Gregory’s
due diligence efforts to select experienced stock pickers
and provide them a mandate to invest only in their
highest conviction ideas. The concept also entails
limiting each fund’s asset base so that the managers
may continuously pursue their best ideas and emphasizes
long-term over short-term performance. Masters' Select
Focused Opportunities takes the concept to another
level since the fund will initially be run by only
three sub-advisors, each selecting no fewer than five
and no more than seven of their highest conviction
stocks (the other Masters' Select funds allow
each sub-advisor to own up to 15 names).
Running the fund will be three managers who currently
sub-advise other Masters' Select funds.They are:

Litman/Gregory Fund Advisors,
LLC has ultimate responsibility for the performance
of the Masters’ Select Funds due to its responsibility
to oversee the Funds’ investment managers and
recommend their hiring, termination and replacement.
Mutual Fund investing involves risk; loss
of principal is possible. The Fund may invest in
foreign securities. Investing in foreign securities
exposes investors to economic, political and market
risks and fluctuations in foreign currencies. The
fund may invest in the securities of small companies.
Small-company investing subjects investors to additional
risks, including security price volatility and less
liquidity than investing in larger companies. The
Fund is a non-diversified fund, which means that
it may concentrate more of its assets in fewer individual
holdings than a diversified fund. The Fund may invest
a portion of its assets in securities of distressed
companies, including debt obligations. Debt obligations
of distressed companies typically are unrated, lower
rated, in default or close to default and may become
worthless.
The Masters’ Select Funds
are distributed by Quasar Distributors. (07/06)
