3/24/2009 Winslow Management Company To Partner With Brown AdvisoryContact: March 15, 2009 (Boston) -- Winslow Management Company, a pioneer in the field of green investing since 1983, is pleased to announce that it has recently signed a definitive agreement pursuant to which Winslow will join Brown Advisory Holdings, Incorporated (Brown Advisory), a full-service investment firm with principal offices in Baltimore, Washington, D.C., London, and now Boston. The two firms have a strong working relationship that spans more than a decade. The management team at Brown Advisory fully embraces Winslow’s environmental investment philosophy, and they are dedicated to supporting Winslow’s independent pursuit of its green investment strategy. Winslow’s mission, investment products, portfolio management services and investment team will remain the same, and as a Brown Advisory company, Winslow will continue to build on its leading position in the green investing field. Brown will gain access to Winslow’s green investment research team and a portfolio of green investment products to offer their clients. "A great deal of public and private money will be dedicated to this area," said Michael D. Hankin, CEO of Brown Advisory. "Winslow’s knowledge and experience gives us a distinct advantage in understanding the industries that will benefit from this huge influx of capital, and which businesses in these industries will be successful and worth investing in and which will not." Winslow expects a range of benefits as a result of the partnership with Brown, which has approximately $14 billion in client assets and an extensive, in-house investment team of nearly 40 professionals. "The management team at Brown Advisory has been very enthusiastic about the concept of 'Brown going green,'" said Jack Robinson, CEO of Winslow Management. "We are very excited about becoming a part of the Brown family." Both firms anticipate that the change in ownership of Winslow Management Company, LLC will be effective March 31, 2009. Winslow’s office will remain at 99 High Street in Boston.

Read carefully before investing. Distributed by Quasar Distributors, LLC. Winslow Management Company is a registered investment advisor. Investment in growth stocks may be susceptible to rapid price swings, especially during periods of economic uncertainty. The Winslow Green Growth Fund ("the Fund") invests in small and medium capitalization companies, which present greater risk than larger companies due to limited product lines, markets and financial or managerial resources. The Fund invests in foreign securities, which present increased risk over U.S. investments in the form of currency fluctuation, different regulation, accounting standards, trading practices and levels of available information, generally higher transaction costs, and political risk; it also focuses on green solutions companies, which presents increased risk over a more diversified portfolio by limiting investment choices to a specific sector that may or may not perform as well as other industry sectors. Total return figures include reinvestment of investment income and capital gains. During the period, some of the Fund's fees were waived or expenses reimbursed; otherwise, total return would have been lower. Prior to April 1, 2001, Winslow Management Company managed a common trust fund (“CTF”) with investment objectives and policies that were, in all material respects, equivalent to the Fund. The Fund’s performance for periods before April 1, 2001 is that of the CTF and reflects the expenses of the CTF. If the CTF’s performance had been readjusted to reflect estimated expenses of the Fund for its first fiscal year, the performance would have been lower. The CTF was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) nor subject to certain investment limitations, diversification requirements, and other restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act and the Internal Revenue Code, which, if applicable, may have adversely affected the performance results.
