The report lists another U.S. Global fund in the top 1 percent of its category in the latest 12-month period.

U.S. Global's China Region Opportunity Fund (USCOX) ranked #9 in total return among all U.S. mutual funds for the three-month period ending September 30, 2007. The company's Gold Shares Fund (USERX) and Global Emerging Markets Fund (GEMFX) were also in the top 75 funds in total return for the latest quarter. More than 18,000 funds have a three-month track record, according to Morningstar.

Also during the third quarter of 2007, U.S. Global grew its assets under management by some $300 million to about $5.35 billion and the company's board approved a doubling of its monthly dividend beginning in October.

"The wind continues to hit our sails when it comes to growth in emerging markets and natural resources, and we remain confident in those sectors," says Frank Holmes, CEO and chief investment officer. "What we're seeing today in emerging nations makes it a classic example of great bull markets climbing a wall of worry and doubt. Despite years of strong GDP growth in China, India and elsewhere, much of Wall Street and the financial media remain unconvinced that this global shift is for real.

"The result is that many investors who rely on these sources of information have missed out on the huge secular bull market created as Chindia and other populous emerging nations expand investments in their domestic economies, including their infrastructure. Compelling research on diversification identifies international investing and resources as new permanent asset classes, but that idea still meets resistance. The growing field of behavioral finance addresses the psychological biases we all have as investors. The key is to recognize those biases and manage them to avoid making suboptimal decisions."

For the one-year period ending September 30, 2007, the China Region Opportunity Fund ranked #19 overall in total return and the Global Emerging Markets Fund placed 76th. According to Morningstar, there are more than 17,000 funds with a one-year record.

U.S. Global's Global Resources Fund (PSPFX) ranked #9 overall in total return for the five years ending September 30, 2007 and the company's Eastern European Fund (EUROX) ranked #12. The World Precious Minerals Fund (UNWPX) was #56 and the China Region Opportunity Fund ranked 78th. There are more than 11,000 funds with a five-year record, according to Morningstar.

The Eastern European Fund placed #5 overall in total return over the 10-year period ending September 30, 2007. Morningstar lists more than 5,000 funds with a 10-year record.

The All American Equity Fund (GBTFX) ranked #5 among 812 large-cap core funds for the one-year period ending September 30, 2007, according to the WSJ, placing it in the top 1 percent of its category.

Gross expense ratio as stated in the most recent prospectus. Performance data quoted above is historical. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Results reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. The principal value and investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance does not include the effect of any fees described in the fund's prospectus (e.g. short-term trading fees) which, if applicable, would lower your total returns. Obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end at www.usfunds.com or 1-800-US-FUNDS, option 5. High double-digit returns are attributable, in part, to unusually favorable market conditions and may not be repeated or consistently achieved in the future. The Adviser for the All American Equity Fund has contractually limited total fund operating expenses (as a percentage of net assets) to not exceed 1.75% through November 1, 2007, or until such later date as the Adviser determines. The Adviser has contractually limited total fund operating expenses to not exceed 2.50% for the Global Emerging Markets Fund on an annualized basis through February 28, 2008, and until such later date as the Adviser determines.
