Compensation of Board of Directors
The members of the Board of Directors serve without compensation. Daniel A. Morris, President of Manor Investment Funds, Inc. (“the Funds”), and President of Morris Capital Advisors, Inc., adviser to the Funds, and an Interested Director of the Funds, receives no compensation directly from the Funds. He is compensated through the management fee paid to the adviser to the Funds.
Investment Advisor Review
At its regularly scheduled in-person meeting on April 26, 2006, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the continuance of the investment advisory contract with MCA. Prior to approving the contract, the Board discussed the services performed by MCA (as described herein), performance of the funds, fees and profits accruing to MCA, and economies of scale from which the funds could benefit as the funds grow. In conducting its review, the Board reviewed the fees and services incurred by other mutual funds.
Morris Capital Advisors, Inc. (MCA) provides ongoing investment management for the portfolio of each Fund. In the execution of these duties MCA performs securities research, trading, and accounting for Fund portfolios. MCA also reconciles each portfolio with the Fund custodian to prevent errors in purchase and sale transactions, dividends, interest, and shareholder transactions.
The investment performance of each Fund is compared to a broad market index and comparable mutual funds. As of December 31, 2005 the Manor Fund outperformed its benchmarks for the trailing quarter, 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year periods. The Growth Fund also outperformed its benchmarks for the trailing quarter, 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year periods ending December 31, 2005. The Bond Fund underperformed its benchmarks because the Fund is invested 100% in U.S. Treasury securities, with short maturities. This portfolio structure is designed to protect principal in periods of rising interest rates, and underperformed during the recent period of declining yields.
In addition to investment management functions, MCA provides ongoing shareholder accounting, acts as transfer agent for shares of the Fund, prepares and distributes all shareholder reports, prepares and submits all filings required by SEC rules and regulations, negotiates agreements with outside service providers, and processes all shareholder questions and requests. MCA provides these services, over and above the typical responsibilities of investment management, without compensation from the Fund. The cost of providing these services substantially reduce the net profit attributable to MCA from the sole execution of its duties under its investment advisory agreement with the Fund.
As the Funds grow economies of scale will reduce the cost of services to the Fund, for the benefit of all Fund shareholders. It is expected that these economies of scale will benefit shareholders when Fund assets exceed $25 million.
