Morningstar Rates the Miller Convertible Fund the Best Performing Convertible Mutual Fund During the "Mini Cycle” of the Last 2.5 Years

Morningstar has rated the Miller Convertible Fund Class I shares (ticker: MCIFX) and the Miller Convertible Fund Class A shares, (ticker: MCFAX) the best performing convertible fund for the 2.5 year period ended June 30, 2010.

Morningstar ranked 56 convertible funds and share classes during the last 2.5 years by annualized return. Besides being the overall best performing convertible fund, the Miller Convertible Fund I and A shares were one of only two convertible fund families to post positive returns during this period.

According to Fund Manager, Greg Miller CPA, "The period January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2010 was a ‘mini-cycle’, first a severe bear market and then a strong bull equity market. This was a very volatile period when equities as an asset class failed to provide positive returns for investors. We are very pleased that the Miller Convertible Fund produced positive aggregate returns and was the best performing convertible mutual fund during this mini-cycle in a period when the S&P 500 Total Return Index fell 25.62%. We believe our convertible track record demonstrates the benefits of an absolute return seeking convertible strategy as a low-volatility core equity and bond strategy for difficult markets."

Complete returns for various periods for all of the convertible funds listed in Morningstar can be viewed directly on the Morningstar website at: www.morningstar.com.
