Performance




For the fiscal year ended 6/30/2008, the Group's portfolio declined 11.81% including realized dividend gains of approximately $14,000 on the year. This compared to the S&P 500 Index, which lost 14.86% during the same period. Consequently, the Group achieved outperformance of 304 basis points for the year.

Performance was driven largely by advancements in a number of individual positions with strong company-specific theses that all performed above and beyond the Group's expectations. The fiscal year marked another year of strong outperformance for the Group and it was an exhilarating period with strong group participation and new, innovative investment ideas. More importantly, the decision making process that went into the purchase of these securities benefited the entire group as every member added valuable input into each equity purchase.
