                                PROXY STATEMENT

                         ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
                          TO BE HELD FEBRUARY 26, 2005

                                    GENERAL

     This  proxy  statement  is furnished in connection with the solicitation by
the  Board of Directors of BMC Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") of proxies for use at the
annual  meeting  of  shareholders  and  at any and all adjournments thereof (the
"annual meeting" or the "meeting") to be held at The Registry Resort & Club, 475
Seagate  Drive,  Naples,  Florida, on Saturday, February 26, 2005, at 9:00 a.m.,
for  the  purpose  of  considering  and acting upon the matters specified in the
accompanying  notice  of  the meeting and detailed below. The Fund is soliciting
such  proxies  by  mail  on  behalf of its Board of Directors and is bearing the
expenses  of  the solicitation. This proxy statement and the enclosed proxy form
are first being sent to shareholders on or about January 26, 2005.

     The  Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on January 25, 2005
as  the  record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of
and to vote at the meeting. On the record date, 4,933,281 shares of Common Stock
of  the Fund were issued and outstanding, each share being entitled to one vote.
Information  concerning  beneficial  ownership  of  Common  Stock  by  principal
shareholders  and  by  the  management  of  the  Fund  is  set  forth below. See
"Principal  Shareholders"  and  "Certain  Beneficial  Ownership  Information
Concerning  Directors,"  below.

     Shares  represented  by  proxies  will  be  voted by the proxy agents named
therein  unless such proxies are revoked. The proxy agents will vote the proxies
that they hold in accordance with the choices specified by the person giving the
proxy.  If  the enclosed proxy reflects no specification but is properly signed,
the  proxy  agents  will vote the shares represented thereby for the election of
the slate of nominees listed on the proxy and in favor of the proposed amendment
to  the  Fund's  Investment  Objectives  and  Policies.

     Any  shareholder who submits the accompanying proxy has the right to revoke
it  by  notifying  the Secretary of the Fund in writing at any time prior to the
voting of the proxy. A proxy is suspended if the person giving the proxy attends
the  meeting  and  elects  to  vote  in  person.

     The  holders  of  a majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in
person  or  by  proxy,  constitute  a  quorum  for purposes of the matters to be
considered at the annual meeting. Once a share is represented for any purpose at
a meeting, it is considered present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the
meeting  and  any  adjournment  thereof (unless a new record date is set for the
adjourned  meeting). Abstentions and shares which are withheld as to voting with
respect  to  a



proposal  are  counted in determining the existence of a quorum, but shares held
by  a  broker,  as  nominee, and not voted on any matter will not be counted for
such  purpose.

     Assuming  the  existence  of a quorum, the persons receiving a plurality of
the  votes cast by the shares entitled to vote will be elected as directors. The
proposal  to  approve  the  amendment  to  the  Fund's Investment Objectives and
Policies  will be approved if the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the
votes  cast against it. Abstentions, shares which are withheld as to voting with
respect  to  a  proposal and shares held of record by a broker, as nominee, that
are  not voted with respect to a proposal will not be counted as a vote in favor
of  or  against  the  proposal and, therefore, will have no effect on any of the
proposals  described  in  this  proxy  statement.

     The  Board  of  Directors  is  not aware of any business to come before the
meeting  other  than  the  matters  described  in the accompanying notice of the
meeting. If any other matters of business are properly presented at the meeting,
however,  the  proxy agents will vote upon such matters in accordance with their
best  judgment.

                      PROPOSAL 1 -- ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

     The  bylaws  of  the  Fund provide that the number of directors of the Fund
shall  be  not  less  than three nor more than 15. Those members of the Board of
Directors  who  are  considered  not  to be "interested persons" of the Fund, as
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), have
approved  the  selection and nomination of each candidate who, if elected, would
be  a  director  under  the  1940  Act. Unless contrary action is specified by a
shareholder on the enclosed proxy, the proxy agents named in the proxy intend to
vote  the  proxies  received  by them for the election of the 11 nominees listed
below,  who,  if  elected,  will  hold  office  until the next annual meeting of
shareholders  and  until  their  respective  successors  have  been  elected and
qualified.  All  of  the nominees are currently serving as directors of the Fund
except  Brent  B.  Kincaid,  who  is  a  first-time  nominee.

     It  is not anticipated that any of the nominees will be unable or unwilling
to  serve;  however,  if  that  should  occur,  the proxies shall be voted for a
replacement  nominee  designated by the present Board of Directors or the number
of  directors  to  be  elected  shall  be  reduced.

     The  corporation  laws  of  North  Carolina,  under  which  the  Fund  is
incorporated,  provide  that  shareholders  of  a  company,  such  as  the Fund,
incorporated  before  July  7,  1957,  under a charter not granting the right of
cumulative  voting  and  which  has at the time of the election of directors one
shareholder  who  owns  or  controls more than 25% of the company's voting stock
shall  have  the  right  to  cumulate  their  votes  for  directors.  Because no
shareholder  currently  owns  or  controls  more  than  25% of the Fund's voting
shares,  cumulative  voting will not be available to shareholders of the Fund at
the  meeting.

SET  FORTH  ABOVE.

                              CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

BOARD COMPOSITION

     In  accordance  with  the  requirements  of  the  1940  Act  and the Fund's
Corporate Governance Guidelines, at least 40% of the members of the Fund's Board
of  Directors  must  not  be  interested  persons  of  the  Fund.  The Board has
determined  that William E. Cooper, Lawrence Z. Crockett, Jan E. Gordon, Gene A.
Hoots, John S. Little, L. Glenn Orr, Jr. and Brent B. Kincaid are not interested
persons  of  the  Fund.

COMMITTEES

     The  Board  of  Directors has an Audit Committee, established in accordance
with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange  Act"), which operates under a written charter adopted by the Board in
July 2000 and amended and restated by the Board in July 2003. The members of the
Audit  Committee  are William E. Cooper (Chairman), Lawrence Z. Crockett, and L.
Glenn  Orr, Jr., each of whom is an "independent director," as defined under the
rules  of the New York Stock Exchange, and not an interested person of the Fund.
(The  requirements  of  the  New  York  Stock Exchange are not applicable to the
Fund.)  The  Audit  Committee  is  directly  responsible for the hiring, firing,
overseeing  the  work  of  and  determining  the  compensation  for  the  Fund's
independent auditors (subject to the requirement of the 1940 Act that a majority
of  the  Fund's  directors who are not interested persons of the Fund ratify the
selection of the independent auditors). The independent auditors report directly
to  the  Audit  Committee.

     The  Board  of  Directors has an Investment Committee, the members of which
are  James  T.  Broyhill, Paul H. Broyhill, Allene B. Heilman, Gene A. Hoots and
Michael G. Landry (Chairman). In addition, M. Hunt Broyhill, a Vice President of
the  Fund, serves as a nonvoting consultant to the Committee. Each member of the
Investment  Committee,  with the exception of Mr. Hoots, is an interested person
of  the  Fund.  The Investment Committee is responsible for reviewing the Fund's
investments at the request of management. Under the Fund's investment objectives
and  policies, the Investment Committee has substantial oversight responsibility
with  respect  to  the  Fund's  investments.

     The Board of Directors has a Nominating Committee, the members of which are
William  E.  Cooper, Lawrence Z. Crockett, Jan E. Gordon, Gene A. Hoots, John S.
Little  (Chairman)  and  L.  Glenn  Orr,  Jr. The Board has determined that each
member  of the Nominating Committee is not an interested person of the Fund. The
Nominating  Committee  is  responsible  for  identifying and recommending to the
Board  qualified  candidates  for Board membership. The Nominating Committee was
formed  on  September  28,  2004 and operates under a written charter adopted on


                                        6

December 8, 2004. A copy of the Nominating Committee charter is attached to this
proxy statement as Appendix A.

     The  Board of Directors has a Valuation Committee, the members of which are
William  E.  Cooper,  Lawrence  Z.  Crockett,  Jan  E.  Gordon,  Gene  A.  Hoots
(Chairman),  John  S.  Little  and  L. Glenn Orr, Jr. No member of the Valuation
Committee  is  an  interested  person  of the Fund. The purpose of the Valuation
Committee  is  to  assist  the  Board  of Directors in its duty to determine the
valuation  of  the  assets  of  the  Fund  in  accordance  with the Fund's Asset
Valuation  Procedures.

MEETING AND ATTENDANCE

     During  the  fiscal  year  ended  October  31,  2004,  the  Board held four
meetings, the Audit Committee held three meetings, the Investment Committee held
four meetings, the Nominating Committee did not meet (because it was formed near
the end of the fiscal year) and the Valuation Committee held four meetings. With
the  exception  of  L.  Glenn  Orr,  Jr.,  each incumbent member of the Board of
Directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board
and  the  committees  on  which  he  or  she served during the fiscal year ended
October  31,  2004.  Under  the  Fund's  Corporate  Governance  Guidelines,  all
directors are expected to make every effort to attend meetings of the Board, the
committees  of  which they are members and annual meetings of shareholders. Nine
members  of  the  Board  of  Directors  attended  the  2004  annual  meeting  of
shareholders.

PROCEDURES FOR DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS

     In  accordance  with the Fund's Corporate Governance Guidelines, members of
the Board are expected to collectively possess a broad range of skills, industry
and  other knowledge and expertise, and business and other experience useful for
the  effective  oversight  of  the Fund's business.  The Nominating Committee is
responsible  for  identifying and recommending to the Board qualified candidates
for  membership.  Candidates  are  evaluated  based on criteria established from
time  to  time  by  the  Board  and  the  criteria  identified  in the Corporate
Governance  Guidelines.  These  criteria  include,  but  are  not  limited  to:

     -    Integrity,  demonstrated  sound  business  judgment and high moral and
          ethical  character;

     -    Diversity  of  viewpoints,  backgrounds,  experiences  and  other
          demographics;

     -    Business  or  other  relevant  professional  experience;

     -    Capacity  and  desire to represent the balanced, best interests of the
          Fund  and  its  shareholders  as  a  whole and not primarily a special
          interest  group  or  constituency;

     -    Ability  and  willingness to devote time to the affairs and success of
          the  Fund  and  in  fulfilling the responsibilities of a director; and


                                        7

     -    The  extent  to  which  the  interplay  of  the candidate's expertise,
          skills, knowledge and experience with that of other Board members will
          build a Board that is effective, collegial and responsive to the needs
          of  the  Fund.

     The  Nominating  Committee  is  authorized  to  develop additional policies
regarding  Board  size,  composition  and  member  qualification.

     The  Nominating  Committee  evaluates  suggestions  concerning  possible
candidates  for  election  to  the  Board submitted to the Fund, including those
submitted  by  Board  members  and shareholders. All candidates, including those
submitted  by  shareholders,  will  be  similarly  evaluated  by  the Nominating
Committee  using the Board membership criteria described above and in accordance
with applicable procedures. Once candidates have been identified, the Nominating
Committee  will  determine  whether  such candidates meet the qualifications for
director  nominees  established  in the Corporate Governance Guidelines or under
applicable  laws, rules or regulations. The Board, taking into consideration the
recommendations  of  the  Nominating Committee, is responsible for selecting the
nominees for director and for appointing directors to fill vacancies.

     The  Nominating  Committee  has  authority  to  retain  and  approve  the
compensation  of  search  firms  to  be used to identify director candidates. No
third  party  is currently retained by the Nominating Committee to identify such
candidates.

     As  noted  above, the Nominating Committee will consider qualified director
nominees  recommended by shareholders when such recommendations are submitted in
accordance  with  applicable  SEC  requirements, the Fund's bylaws and Corporate
Governance Guidelines and any other applicable law, rule or regulation regarding
director  nominations.  When  submitting  a  nomination  to  the  Fund  for
consideration,  a  shareholder  must  provide  certain information that would be
required under applicable SEC rules, including the following minimum information
for  each  director  nominee:  full  name, age and address; principal occupation
during the past five years; current directorships on publicly held companies and
investment companies; and number of shares of Fund common stock owned, if any.

     Brent B. Kincaid, the only nominee approved for inclusion on the proxy card
who  is  not  an  incumbent  director  of the Fund, was recommended by the chief
executive  officer  and  another  executive officer of the Fund, each of whom is
also  a  shareholder.

SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH DIRECTORS

     Any shareholder desiring to contact the Board, or any specific director(s),
may  send  written communications to: Board of Directors (Attention: (Name(s) of
director(s),  as  applicable)),  c/o  the Fund's Secretary, Post Office Box 500,
Lenoir,  North  Carolina  28645.  Any  proper communications so received will be
processed  by  the  Secretary.  If it is unclear from the communication received
whether  it  was  intended  or  appropriate  for  the  Board, the Secretary will
(subject  to  any  applicable  regulatory  requirements)  use  her  judgment  to
determine  whether  such  communication  should  be conveyed to the Board or, as
appropriate, to the member(s) of the Board named in the communication.

                             AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

     As  noted  above,  the  Audit Committee is directly responsible for hiring,
firing,  overseeing  the work of and determining the compensation for the Fund's
independent auditors (subject to the requirement of the 1940 Act that a majority
of  the  Fund's  directors who are not interested persons of the Fund ratify the
selection of the independent auditors). The independent auditors report directly
to  the  Audit  Committee.

     Management  is  responsible  for preparing the Fund's financial statements.
The  independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of
the  Fund's  audited  financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing  standards  and  issuing  a  report  thereon.  The  Audit  Committee's
responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.

     In this context, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited
financial  statements  with  management  and the independent auditors. The Audit
Committee  also has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required
to  be  discussed  by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with
Audit  Committees).

     The  Fund's  independent  auditors also provided to the Audit Committee the
written disclosures and letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard
No.  1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the Audit Committee
discussed  with  the  independent  auditors  that  firm's  independence.

     Based  on  the  above  discussions  and  review  with  management  and  the
independent  auditors, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors
that the audited financial statements be included in the Fund's annual report to
shareholders  for  the  fiscal  year  ended October 31, 2004 for filing with the
Commission.

                              Respectfully submitted by the Audit Committee:


                              William E. Cooper (Chairman)
                              Lawrence Z. Crockett
                              L. Glenn Orr, Jr.

     The  Fund  leases  its executive offices from Broyhill Investments, Inc., a

                                       11

                          PROPOSAL 2 -- AMENDMENTS TO
                       INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

     The  Board  of Directors of the Fund has proposed that shareholders approve
an  amendment  to the Fund's Investment Objectives and Policies (the "Policies")
that  would  clarify  the  Fund's  authority  to  make  indirect  investments in
commodities  and  commodity  contracts.

     Section XI.b.vi. of the Policies currently states:

          The Fund will not invest in commodities or commodity contracts.

     The  Board  proposes  that Section XI.b.vi. of the Policies be amended (the
"Amendment")  to  state:

          The  Fund will not invest in physical commodities or acquire
          contracts  to  purchase  or  sell  in  the  future  physical
          commodities  (also  known  as  commodity contracts or future
          contracts),  but  this limitation shall not prevent the Fund
          from  making indirect investments in commodities and futures
          contracts.  Indirect  investments  may include, for example,
          investments  in  a mutual fund, a closed-end fund, a limited
          partnership,  or a similar investment vehicle that is backed
          by  commodities  and  futures  contracts, and investments in
          shares of a commodity company, such as a mining venture. The
          value  of  any  indirect  commodity  or  futures  contract
          investment, together with the value of all other investments
          in  commodities-backed  securities  and instruments, may not
          exceed  20%  of  the  value of the assets of the Fund at the
          time  of  the  investment.  This policy shall not affect the
          Fund's  ability  to invest in Fortune 1000 energy companies.

     The  purpose  of the Amendment is to make it clear that (i) the prohibition
in  the  Policies  applicable  to commodities and commodity contracts applies to
investments  in  physical  commodities  (a  few  examples are energy, livestock,
grains,  industrial  and  precious metals and "soft" commodities such as coffee,
sugar  and  cotton)  and  to  the  acquisition  of futures contracts to purchase
physical commodities, and (ii) the Fund does have the authority to make indirect
investments  in  commodities  and  futures  contracts by acquiring securities or
other  interests  in  investment  vehicles  that  are  backed by commodities and
commodities  futures.  An  example  of such an investment vehicle is a commodity
index  that  provides  passive  exposure  to  a  broad  range  of  commodities.

     The  Fund  historically  has  interpreted  the  Policies'  prohibition  on
investing  in  commodities  to  prohibit investments in physical commodities and
futures  contracts  to  purchase  physical  commodities  and,  thus,  to  allow
investments  in  investment  vehicles  that  are  backed  by  commodities  and
commodities  futures.  However,  out  of  an abundance of caution, the Board has
determined  to  seek  the  shareholders'  approval  of the proposed amendment to
clarify  the  Fund's  authority  in  this  regard.


                                       12

     Commodities  and  commodity  indices  represent  an  asset  class  that can
diversify  a  portfolio  and  provide  a hedge against rising inflation. This is
because rising inflation puts downward pressure on most investment assets, while
commodities  usually  increase  in  value  during  periods  of rising inflation.
Introducing into a portfolio investments in commodities that do not move in sync
with  each  other,  or  with  other classes of assets in the portfolio, enhances
diversification  and  helps  reduce  the  overall  volatility  of the portfolio.

     Though  not  as  risky  as  direct  investments  in commodities and futures
contracts, indirect investments in commodities as described above are subject to
risks.  For  example:

     -    investments  in  commodities investment vehicles often are not liquid;

     -    investment  models used by managers of commodities investment vehicles
          may  be  incorrect  and  may  not  perform  as  anticipated;

     -    managers  of  commodities  investment  vehicles may use options, short
          selling, non-exchange traded contracts and derivatives that are highly
          speculative  and  could  result  in  a loss of the value of the Fund's
          investment;

     -    managers  of  commodities  investment vehicles may use leverage, which
          may  increase  volatility  and  reduce  returns;  and

     -    commodities  investment  vehicles are subject to risks associated with
          the  market  sectors  in  which  they  invest.

     As  an  example  of  the  kinds  of  risks  that  indirect  investments  in
commodities  are  subject to, in 2004 the Fund invested $6 million in the BTOP50
CTA  Index  Fund  (the  "BTOP50  Fund").  The  BTOP50 Fund invests its assets in
managed commodities and futures trading advisor programs included in the Barclay
CTA  Index, a widely followed global managed futures index. The Fund acquired $3
million  of  its  investment  in  the  BTOP50  Fund  on November 1, 2003 and the
remaining $3 million on October 29, 2004 and liquidated it at a loss of $667,607
on  October  29,  2004. It should be noted that investments in funds such as the
BTOP50  Fund  normally are expected to be long-term investments characterized by
short-term fluctuations in value. The Board decided to liquidate its BTOP50 Fund
investments,  however,  after  deciding  to  seek  shareholder  approval  of the
proposed  amendment  to  the  Policies  described  above.

     Under  the  1940 Act, the policy with respect to investments in commodities
and  commodity  contracts  cannot  be  changed without shareholder approval. THE
BOARD  OF  DIRECTORS  RECOMMENDS  THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE
AMENDMENT  TO  THE  FUND'S  INVESTMENT  OBJECTIVES  AND  POLICIES.

                      INDEPENDENT AUDITORS AND AUDIT FEES

SELECTION OF AUDITORS

     The  Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Fund, at a meeting to
be  held prior to the annual meeting of shareholders, intends to select the firm
of  Dixon  Hughes  PLLC  as  the Fund's independent auditors for the fiscal year
beginning  November  1,  2004.  Dixon  Hughes  PLLC  has  served  as  the Fund's
independent  auditor  since  April  17,  2001.

     Neither Dixon Hughes PLLC nor any of its members has any direct or indirect
financial interest in or any connection with the Fund in any capacity other than
as  independent  public  auditors.

     A  representative  of  Dixon  Hughes  PLLC  will  attend  the  meeting  via
teleconference.  The representative will have an opportunity to make a statement
if  he  desires  to  do  so  and  will  be  available  to respond to appropriate
questions.

AUDIT FEES

     Fees  billed  the Fund for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2003 and 2004
by Dixon Hughes PLLC for services rendered are set forth in the following table:



                    Fiscal Year Ended   Fiscal Year Ended

All Other Fees . .  $            1,277  $              904


     Tax  fees  were  incurred  in  connection with federal, state and local tax
planning and advice, including advice regarding the calculation of dividends and
other distributions the Fund is required to make in order to preserve its status
as  a  regulated  investment  company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code.  The  fees listed under "All Other Fees" above were incurred in connection
with the preparation and printing of the Fund's semiannual and annual reports to
shareholders.

     During  the  fiscal  year ended October 31, 2004, Dixon Hughes PLLC did not
utilize any leased personnel in connection with the audit.

PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

     The  Audit Committee has adopted a policy that requires the Audit Committee
to  approve  all  audit  and permissible non-audit services to be provided by an
independent  auditing  firm.  The  Audit  Committee  has  established  a general
pre-approval  policy  for  certain  non-audit services, up to a total of $15,000
during  any  fiscal  year.  All of the services described above were approved in
accordance


                                       14

with  the  Audit  Committee's  pre-approval  policy.  As  a result, none of such
services  were  approved  pursuant  to  paragraph  (c)(7)(i)(C)  of Rule 2-01 of
Regulation  S-X.

            SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

     Under  federal  securities  laws,  the  Fund's  directors,  officers  and
beneficial  owners  of  more than 10% of the Common Stock are required to report
their  beneficial ownership of Common Stock and any changes in that ownership to
the Commission. Specific dates for such reporting have been established, and the
Fund  is  required  to report in this Proxy Statement any failure to file by the
established  dates  during the last fiscal year. In the last fiscal year, to the
Fund's  knowledge, all of these filing requirements were satisfied by the Fund's
directors,  officers  and  principal  shareholders.

                              SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

     In  order  to  be included in proxy material for the 2006 annual meeting of
shareholders,  shareholder proposals must be received at the offices of the Fund
by  September  28,  2005  and  must  be  submitted in accordance with applicable
procedures.

     Shareholder  proposals  which  are not intended to be included in the proxy
materials  for  the  2006  annual meeting must be submitted to the Fund no later
than  December 12, 2005. Only business properly brought before an annual meeting
may  be subject to action at the meeting. The chairman of the meeting may refuse
to consider any business that is not raised in accordance with these procedures.
A  proxy  may  confer discretionary authority to vote on any matter at an annual
meeting  if  the  Fund  does  not receive proper notice of the matter within the
timeframe  described  above.

                         ANNUAL AND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTS

     The Fund will furnish, without charge, a copy of its annual report (and the
most  recent  semi-annual  report  succeeding the annual report, if any) for the
fiscal  year  ended  October  31,  2004  to a shareholder upon request. Any such
request should be directed to the Secretary of the Fund by writing to Carol Frye
at  the Fund, 800 Golfview Park, P. O. Box 500, Lenoir, North Carolina 28645. (A
stamped,  addressed  postal card is enclosed for use in requesting such report.)
This annual report was previously furnished to shareholders on or about December
29,  2004.

                                  OTHER MATTERS

     As  of the date of this proxy statement, the Board of Directors knows of no
other business to come before the annual meeting for consideration by the Fund's
shareholders.  If  any  other  business  properly  comes before the meeting, the
persons  named  as  proxy  agents  in  the accompanying proxy card will vote the
shares  represented  by  the  proxy  in  accordance  with  their  best judgment.

I.   COMMITTEE PURPOSE

     The purpose of the Nominating Committee is to assist the Board of Directors
of  BMC  Fund,  Inc. (the "Fund") in identifying individuals qualified to become
Board  members  and  to  recommend  to  the  Board  the  director nominees.  The
Committee  will  accomplish  this  purpose  by  performing  the responsibilities
enumerated  in  this  Charter.

II.  COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP AND PROCEDURE

     The  Committee  will  consist of three or more directors, each of whom must
not  be  an  interested  person  of the Fund, as that term is defined in Section
2(a)(19)  of  the  Investment  Company  Act  of  1940.

     The  Board  will appoint the members of the Committee annually. The members
will  serve  until  their successors are appointed or until their earlier death,
resignation  or  removal. The Board will designate the Chairman of the Committee
or,  if it fails to do so, the members of the Committee will elect a Chairman by
majority  vote. The Board will have the power at any time to change the size and
membership  of  the  Committee  and to fill vacancies on the Committee, provided
that  any new member must satisfy the requirements of this Charter and any other
applicable  requirements.  The  rules  and  procedures  of the Committee will be
governed  by  the  North Carolina Business Corporation Act and the Fund's bylaws
and,  to the extent not inconsistent with such Act and the bylaws, this Charter.

     The  Committee  will  record  and  maintain  minutes  of  its meetings. The
Chairman  of the Committee or a Committee member designated by the Chairman will
make  a  report  to  the  Board  of  the  Committee's meetings, actions taken at
meetings  or  by  consent,  and recommendations made since the most recent Board
meeting,  unless  the  Committee  has  previously  circulated  an interim report
addressing  the  matter  or  matters.

III. COMMITTEE AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITIES

     The authority and responsibilities of the Committee are as follows:

     -    Develop  policies  on  the  size  and  composition  of  the  Board and
          qualification  criteria  for  Board  members;

     -    Actively  seek,  interview  and screen individuals qualified to become
          Board  members  for  recommendation  to  the  Board;


                                       19

     -    Have  the authority to retain and terminate any search firm to be used
          to  identify director candidates and have the authority to approve the
          search  firm's  fees  and  other  retention  terms;

     -    Receive suggestions concerning possible candidates for election to the
          Board,  including  self-nominations and nominations from shareholders;

     -    Recommend  to  the Board individuals for vacancies occurring from time
          to  time  on the Board, including vacancies resulting from an increase
          in  the  size  of  the  Board;  and

     -    Recommend  the  slate  of nominees to be proposed for election at each
          annual  meeting  of  the  shareholders.
