Note Regarding Securities Lending
Huber Funds
To: Interested Parties
From: Huber Funds
In light of recent bankruptcies and inflated default expectations based off of credit default swaps (CDS) in many large banks and brokerage firms, we wanted to address the Huber Funds’ policy regarding securities lending in the Huber Capital Equity Income Fund (HULIX) and Huber Capital Small Cap Value Fund (HUSIX).
As with many U.S. mutual funds, the Huber Funds prospectus and/or statement of additional information indicates that our Funds may “lend securities from its portfolio to approved brokers, dealers, and financial institutions, to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act.” Lending securities provides funds with nominal levels of interest. However, it subjects the shareholders of those funds to counter-party risk, which under certain circumstances, could cause the securities not to be returned to the fund.
While it is our understanding that many fund companies lend their securities, the Huber Funds have never allowed their securities to be lent to outside parties and do not currently engage in securities lending.
In these turbulent times we felt it important to let our clients know that we are not engaging in lending their securities. As always, please feel free to call us with any questions, or you may find further information by visiting our website at www.hubercap.com.
Sincerely,
Joe Huber
CEO / CIO
