He was ranked among the top 30 most influential people in investing when he was named a
member of the "Power 30" by SmartMoney. He was also named by Money magazine
as "The Greatest Money Manager of the 1990's" and named Morningstar's 1998 "Domestic
Equity Manager of the Year." In 1999, he was selected as the "Fund Manager of the
Decade" by Morningstar.com. Also in 1999, Barron's named him to its All-Century Investment
Team in 1999 and BusinessWeek called him one of the "Heroes of Value Investing."(2)

(1) Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Value Trust’s inception date is April 16, 1982. The fund’s 1-, 5-, 10- and 15-year average annual total returns for the period ended 12/31/06 were 5.9%, 7.8%, 12.1%, and 14.6%, respectively. The S&P 500’s 1-, 5-, 10- and 15-year average annual total returns for the period ending 12/31/06 were 15.8%, 6.2%, 8.4% and 10.6%, respectively. The investment return and principal value of the fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods. The S&P 500 is an unmanaged index of common stock prices that is generally considered representative of the U.S. stock market.
(2) Morningstar's award for "Domestic Equity Fund Manager of the Year 1998" recognizes portfolio
managers who demonstrate excellent investment skill, the courage to differ from consensus, and
the commitment to shareholders necessary to deliver outstanding long-term performance. Bill Miller
received 56% of the analysts' vote in Morningstar.com's 1999 Poll in the "Fund Manager of the
Decade" category. Thirty-four Morningstar.com analysts voted. Nominees in this category were
selected based on their demonstration of investment skill, their courage to differ from
consensus, and their commitment to shareholders necessary to deliver outstanding long-term
performance. Bill Miller was named to Barron's Mutual Funds "All-Century Team" for his
stock-picking skills. This is not an official ranking based on specific criteria. The
selection was based solely on the opinion of Barron's Mutual Funds writing staff.
