At the Special Meeting, shareholders will be asked to elect eight Trustees.

Each Fund has its own investment objectives and policies and operates independently for purposes of investments, dividends, purchases and redemptions. Except for the Money Market Fund, each Fund has one class of shares. The Money Market Fund has two classes of shares, Class I and Class D. On the Record Date, the outstanding shares of the Funds were as follows: <Table> <Caption> FUND OUTSTANDING SHARES - ---- ------------------ Money Market Fund Class I................................................... 33,425,382.45 Class D................................................... 20,720,596.23 ARM Fund.................................................... 329,418,871.49 Ultra Short Fund............................................ 26,988,538.57 Short U.S. Fund............................................. 14,014,372.01 Intermediate Mortgage Fund.................................. 30,885,283.13 U.S. Government Mortgage Fund............................... 16,181,558.01 </Table> Shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to one vote per share and for each fractional share a proportionate fractional vote for each of the eight Trustees to be elected at the Special Meeting. The election of a Trustee at the Special Meeting requires a plurality of the shares entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. ELECTION OF TRUSTEES GENERAL At the Special Meeting, eight Trustees are expected to be elected to the Board to serve until their respective successors have been elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal. Because the Trust is not required to hold annual meetings of shareholders, Trustees elected at the Special Meeting will hold office for an indefinite period of time. It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote the shares represented thereby FOR the election of the nominees listed below, unless instructed to the contrary. Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as a Trustee if elected. However, should any nominee become unable or unwilling to accept nomination for election, the proxies will be voted for such persons, if any, as the Nominating Committee of the Board may recommend. All of the nominees, except Ms. Ramirez and Messrs. McKenna, Owen and Shay, Jr., were last elected at the special meeting of shareholders on October 31, 1997. Messrs. McKenna and Shay, Jr. were elected by the Board on October 17, 2002. Ms. Ramirez and Mr. Owen were nominated for election by shareholders by the Board's Nominating Committee on October 21, 2004 and January 31, 2005, respectively. Ms. Ramirez and Mr. Owen were recommended to the Nominating Committee by management. Current Trustee Arthur G. DeRusso is expected to retire from the Board, effective April 24, 2005, and is therefore not standing for re-election. THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES NAMED BELOW. NOMINEES The nominees for election to the Board, together with information as to their principal business occupations during the past five years, are shown below.

The Nominating Committee met once during the Trust's last fiscal year.

Suggestions and other correspondence should be sent in writing to Daniel K. Ellenwood, Secretary, Asset Management Fund, 230 W. Monroe Street, Suite 2810, Chicago, Illinois 60606. The Nominating Committee sets appropriate standards and requirements for nominations for new trustees and reserves the right to interview all candidates and to make the final selection of any new nominees. The principal criterion for selection of candidates is the ability to carry out the responsibilities of the Board. The Nominating Committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A. The Nominating Committee is composed entirely of Trustees who are not "interested persons" 8 of the Trust as defined in the 1940 Act. The members of the Nominating Committee are Messrs.

Any shareholder who wishes to submit a proposal for consideration at a meeting of shareholders should send such proposal to the Trust at 230 West Monroe Street, Suite 2810, Chicago, Illinois 60606. To be considered for presentation at a meeting of shareholders, the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission require that, among other things, a shareholder's proposal be received at the offices of the Trust a reasonable time before a solicitation is made. Timely submission of a proposal does not mean that such proposal will be included. DISCRETION OF PERSONS NAMED IN THE PROXY The Board knows of no business other than the election of Trustees that will be presented for consideration at the Special Meeting. Should any other matter requiring a vote of shareholders arise, including any questions as to an adjournment or postponement of the Special Meeting, the persons named on the enclosed proxy card will vote on such matters in accordance with their judgment of the best interests of the Trust.

In addition to solicitations through the mails, proxies may be solicited by officers, employees, and agents of the Trust, Adviser and/or Distributor. Such solicitations may be by telephone, or otherwise. The Trust will reimburse custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for the reasonable costs incurred by them in connection with forwarding solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by such persons.

By Order of the Trustees Daniel K. Ellenwood Secretary March 2, 2005 15 APPENDIX A ASSET MANAGEMENT FUND NOMINATING COMMITTEE CHARTER ADOPTED SEPTEMBER 20, 2004 I. PURPOSE The Nominating Committee is a committee of the Board of Trustees of Asset Management Fund (the "Trust"). Its primary function is to identify and recommend individuals for membership on the Board and oversee the administration of the Board Governance Procedures and Guidelines. II. COMPOSITION The Nominating Committee shall be comprised of the independent board members, each of whom shall be free from any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of his or her independent judgment as a member of the Nominating Committee. For purposes of the Nominating Committee, a board member is independent if he or she is an "Independent Trustee" as that term is defined in Section II.A of the Board Governance Procedures and Guidelines. The members of the Nominating Committee shall be appointed by the Board annually and serve until their successors shall be duly appointed and qualified. Unless a Chairman is elected by the Board, the members of the Nominating Committee may designate a Chairman by majority vote. III. MEETINGS The Nominating Committee shall meet annually, or more frequently as circumstances dictate. Special meetings (including telephone meetings) may be called by the Chairman or a majority of the members of the Nominating Committee upon reasonable notice to the other members of the Nominating Committee. IV. RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES To fulfill its responsibilities and duties the Nominating Committee shall: A. Board Nominations and Functions 1. Identify and recommend individuals for membership on the Board as independent board members. The principal criterion for selection of candidates is the ability to carry out the responsibilities of the Board. 2. Review the Board Governance Procedures and Guidelines, annually, and recommend changes, if any, to the Board. 3. Periodically review the composition of the Board to determine whether it may be appropriate to add individuals with different backgrounds or skill sets from those already on the Board. 4. Review annually Independent Trustee compensation, including compensation deferral programs and Trust ownership criteria, and recommend any appropriate changes to the Independent Trustees as a group. 5. Coordinate with the Trust's legal counsel an annual evaluation of the performance of the Board. 6. Oversee the development and implementation by the Trust's investment adviser and legal counsel of a program for the orientation of new Independent Trustees. B. Committee Nominations and Functions 1. Identify and recommend individuals for membership on all committees and review committee assignments at least annually. A-1 2. Review as necessary the responsibilities of any committees of the Board, whether there is a continuing need for each committee, whether there is a need for additional committees of the Board, and whether committees should be combined or reorganized. C. Other Powers and Responsibilities 1. Review this Charter, annually, and recommend changes, if any, to the Board. 2. Review Trust governance structure for compliance with legal requirements. 3. Monitor the performance of legal counsel employed by the Trust and the Independent Trustees, if any, and be responsible for the supervision of counsel to the Independent Trustees, if any. 4. Investigate any other matter brought to its attention within the scope of its duties, with the power to retain outside counsel or other experts for this purpose at the expense of the Trust, if, in its judgment, that is appropriate. 5. Retain any search firm to identify Board member candidates, at the expense of the Trust, if, in the Committee's judgment, this is appropriate. 6. Perform any other activities consistent with this Charter, the Trust's Declaration of Trust and By-Laws and governing law, as the Nominating Committee or the Board deems necessary or appropriate. 7. Maintain minutes of Committee meetings, report its significant activities to the Board, and make such recommendations to the Board as the Nominating Committee deems necessary or appropriate. D.
