We invest in undervalued companies that exhibit strong fundamentals, above-market dividend yields and historic earnings growth, which our analysis indicates will persist. 2. Our strategy is to own strong, fundamentally sound companies and to avoid speculative stocks or potential bankruptcies. 3. We believe that the markets are not perfectly efficient and that, in particular, behavioral finance plays a considerable role in investor actions and over-reactions and subsequently in stock price movements.” The fund’s Large Cap Value Fund has returned 17% annually on average and its Small Cap Value Fund has returned 16.5% annually on average since the firm’s inception in 1991.	108091	March 05, 2009

Bill Miller	Portfolio manager of Legg Mason Value Trust, Miller has been the only mutual fund manager who has beaten the S&P 500 for the last 14 straight years (although that streak just ended in 2006). Bill is a buy-and-hold investor, he does not let short-term market volatility dictate his decision-making. He follows a value discipline of investing by purchasing primarily large-capitalization stocks at large discounts to his assessment of their intrinsic value. He tries to own securities that have been priced by the market at significant discounts to their intrinsic value by his multi-factor valuation analysis. Nevertheless, he has also taken big shots on more momentum type investments in companies such as Google, so long as he believes there is fundamental value there. 2006 is the first year since 1991 where the Legg Mason fund does not outperform the S&P 500. For 2007, Miller has stated that he is very bullish and believes the market will have double digit gains. He is so bullish that he was recently quoted in the economist that he is willing to borrow money to buy stocks, as he did in 2002. <img src=http://money.cnn.com/2005/12/02/funds/winners/bill_miller_legg_mason.03.jpg> New Position: GOOG As of 12/9/2008	104365	December 10, 2008

The fund was started by Gendell in 1997 and has since posted spectacular returns, gaining more then 100% in both 2003 and 2005.

Gendell is a graduate of Duke University and began his Wall Street career at Smith Barney, working in the corporate finance department.

Fairholme FAIRX	As of 6-30-08 filing. New positions: PFE, UNH, FRX, HLF, JEF Fairholme is run by value investment guru Bruce Berkowitz. They take an extremely focused approach. The Fund's objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund invests in companies that exhibit growth potential over the long term and which can be purchased at a significant discount to their perceived value. It normally invests at least 75% of its total assets in US common stocks without regard to market capitalization. The fund enjoys a 5 star rating from Morningstar. From Barron's 5-7-07 Fairholme Fund (ticker: FAIRX), a $4.6 billion multi-cap growth fund poised to outperform even in difficult markets. "We are very focused on not losing money," says Berkowitz, 48, who was named runner-up in 2006 as Morningstar's domestic stock-fund manager of the year. Though Fairholme is performing in line with the market this year, the fund has trumped the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index over three and five years. It returned 19.21% in the three-year span ended May 3, versus the S&P's 12.42%, and 15.5% in the five-year period, against the S&P's 8.91%. Over the longer stretch, Fairholme has trounced 92% of its peers. Pitkowsky became co-manager in 2002, and Trauner is chief financial officer and treasurer. From a BusinessWeek interview of Berkowitz in 2000: I think our philosophy makes a lot of sense. We're doing nothing more than what the wealthiest individuals in the world have done. We act like owners. We focus on very few companies. We try and know what you can know. We try and only buy a few companies which we believe have been built to last in all environments. We recognize that you only need a few good ideas in a lifetime to be fabulously wealthy.... We're always trying to wonder what can go wrong. We're very focused on the downside. Q: Certainly you must have made some mistakes. What do you figure your biggest was? A: I've never had a big mistake. I've had some tiny ones, but, no, we've never had a big mistake. Q: What was the one that had you kicking yourself the most? A: The big kicks have been the errors of omission. Q: Such as? A: In the mid-1980s, I was one of the largest owners of a company, well, it's called White Mountains Insurance ( WTM ) now. It used to be Fireman's Fund. And the guy running it is Jack Byrne and he is just everything you'd want. The guy is an owner-manager. He puts his money where his mouth is. Most of his family's net worth is invested in the company. He's made close to 30% per annum in various companies he has run. He was the one who resuscitated GEICO and then he went on to resuscitate Fireman's Fund. He did a great job, and then, in the mid-'90s, I sold the position after making a lot of money. But it was a huge mistake on my part. I sold it in the 80s after buying it in the 30s, and today it's 250. Q: Ouch. A: That was a huge mistake that cost clients of Fairholme a lot of money. But there has been no position that cost clients. You have to understand, there were some years when we only had two positions.

Yale University	The Yale University endowment, which totals over $22 billion, has been managed by David Swensen since 1985. Realizing an annual return of more than 17.2 percent on his investments over the last ten years. Swensen has added more than $16 billion to Yale's coffers, and his consistent track record has attracted the notice of Wall Street portfolio managers. Prior to becoming the manager at Yale, Swensen was a 6 year veteran of Wall Street at Lehman Brothers and at Solomon Brothers, focusing on complicated swap transactions and development of new technologies related to finance. When he joined the Yale Endowment as Portfolio Manager at the age of 31, he was an unconventional choice, as he was relatively young for someone entrusted with so much money and had no experience as a portfolio manager. Before his tenure, the Endowment had most of its funds invested in stocks, bonds and cash. Swensen decided that this was not diversified enough, and that they were missing out on reliable returns in other asset classes. As a result he diversified the fund’s investments into foreign stocks, real assets, private equity and more absolute return type strategies. This portfolio only includes public equities and not necessarily all holdings of Yale University's endowment. As of 9/30/2009 funds were valued at $5.2 million.
