TFS Market Neutral Fund Ranked #1 in Lipper’s Equity Market Neutral Category & Among Top 5 in Morningstar’s Long Short Category

West Chester, PA – December 11, 2007 – The TFS Market Neutral Fund (ticker: TFSMX), a quantitative no-load mutual fund, is the top performer of its market neutral peer group. Through November 30, 2007, TFSMX was ranked #1 in Lipper’s Equity Market Neutral category for both the trailing one-year and three-year returns.

TFSMX’s three-year average return through November 30, 2007 also ranked it #3 out of 58 funds in Morningstar’s Long Short category.

The TFS Market Neutral Fund was launched on September 7, 2004 by TFS Capital, LLC. Through November 30, 2007, TFSMX had an average annual return of 13.23% versus 11.04% for the S&P 500 during the same time period. Even more impressive is that the fund has produced these results while having an average beta, or market exposure, of 0.19. So, TFSMX was able to produce greater returns than the S&P 500 Index while subjecting investors to only a fraction of the systemic risk. Moreover, TFSMX had a correlation to the S&P 500 of 0.30 indicating that it would likely be a nice complement to a portfolio containing large cap US equity exposure. Year to-date through November 30, 2007, the TFS Market Neutral Fund has produced a return of 9.80%.

This past August, many quantitative fund managers received bad publicity during the credit crunch, when the performance of their funds suffered. These managers, including TFS Capital, were under fire because the quantitative strategies being used were designed to reduce volatility and volatility was at all time highs in many of these funds, including TFSMX. Questions were asked about the risks associated with quantitative strategies and whether or not these risks were truly understood. In our opinion, the risks were known but the extent to which leverage was being used by many managers was a surprise. This excessive use of leverage, in our opinion, along with the similarities of the quantitative strategies, contributed to the unusually high levels of volatility in the space. Unlike many quantitative funds, TFSMX does not use a significant degree of leverage.

We believe the track record of the TFS Market Neutral Fund shows that quantitative strategies are sound and viable. Moreover, we believe the fund’s recent performance shows that well-executed quantitative strategies are able to navigate through short-term price dislocations in the overall market.


Many sophisticated hedge fund and brokerage firms invest using quantitative models. For instance, the Wall Street Journal reported that Morgan Stanley invests $6 billion of its own proprietary money in trading strategies based on mathematical models. According to the paper, this trading has yielded Morgan Stanley $3.5 billion in the 10 years through 2006 and produced 7.2% of the bank’s net income last year.

Market neutral and long-short funds provide an increasingly popular way for investors to diversify their portfolios. They are designed to provide an opportunity for investors concerned about the risks of a recession, the declining value of the dollar, or the future direction of the stock market since they are designed to provide the potential to profit in all market conditions. As of November 2007, there was $21.7 billion invested in Morningstar’s Long-Short category according to Morningstar.

TFS Capital’s portfolio management team includes a PhD in electrical engineering and computer science, a statistician, and several managers who combined have more than 25 years of experience managing hedge funds using quantitative investment strategies. The TFS Market Neutral Fund is a no-load mutual fund, requires an initial minimum investment of $5,000 and it is open to all suitable investors.

The following "risk" information is being provided to you to help better understand the unique risks associated with investing in TFSMX. As a result of TFSMX's use of short selling, TFSMX will not participate to the same level as a long-only mutual fund in a bull market. In addition, TFSMX will have a high portfolio turnover rate which will increase transaction costs for the Fund and decrease tax efficiency relative to funds with lower turnover. When TFSMX uses leverage, it will exaggerate any increase or decrease in the Fund's net asset value. A more detailed discussion of the Fund's risks, including risks that are unique to the Fund, can be found in its prospectus. Beta is a measure of a portfolio's volatility, or systemic risk, in comparison to the market as a whole.
