Osterweis Capital Management (OCM) announced today that the Osterweis Strategic Investment Fund is being renamed the Osterweis Growth & Income Fund. It also announced that it has lowered the management fee to 0.75% for the Osterweis Fund (OSTFX) and the Osterweis Growth & Income Fund (OSTVX).

Catherine Halberstadt, Co-President and Co-CEO of OCM, said of the fee reduction, “Osterweis is a firm believer in active management that has a focus on managing downside risk. We are happy to announce this new lower management fee structure for our shareholders.”

Larry Cordisco, Co-Lead Portfolio Manager for the Osterweis Fund and Osterweis Growth & Income Fund, said of the name change, “The new name does a great job of conveying our value proposition to investors. In a market with very low fixed income yields, we think that using a dynamically managed group of equities and fixed income securities to deliver both growth and consistent income is very compelling, particularly for retirees and near-retirees who are looking for both near term income and long term asset appreciation.”

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.

The Osterweis Fund may invest in medium and smaller sized companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. The Fund may invest in foreign and emerging market securities, which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks may increase for emerging markets. The Fund may invest in Master Limited Partnerships, which involve risk related to energy prices, demand and changes in tax code. The Fund may invest in debt securities that are un-rated or rated below investment grade. Lower-rated securities may present an increased possibility of default, price volatility or illiquidity compared to higher-rated securities. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities.

The Fund may also make investments in derivatives that may involve certain costs and risks such as those related to liquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. Leverage may cause an increase or decrease in the value of the portfolio securities to be magnified and the Fund to be more volatile than if leverage was not used. Investments in preferred securities typically have an inverse relationship with changes in the prevailing interest rate. Investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments.
