U.S. Global Investors, Inc. Agrees to Voluntarily Limit Fund Expenses

Effective October 1, 2009, U.S. Global Investors, Inc., as the investment adviser to the U.S. Global Investors Funds, has voluntarily agreed to limit each fund’s total annual operating expenses (exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, performance fees, taxes, brokerage commissions and interest) to not exceed the annual rates set forth in the table below.  U.S. Global Investors, Inc. can modify or terminate each of these arrangements at any time.

Please consider carefully the fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. For this and other important information, obtain a fund prospectus by visiting www.usfunds.com or by calling 1-800-US-FUNDS (1-800-873-8637). Read it carefully before investing.

An investment in a money market fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

Foreign and emerging market investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuation and less public disclosure, as well as economic and political risk.  By investing in a specific geographic region, a regional fund’s returns and share price may be more volatile than those of a less concentrated portfolio.  Gold funds may be susceptible to adverse economic, political or regulatory developments due to concentrating in a single theme. The price of gold is subject to substantial price fluctuations over short periods of time and may be affected by unpredicted international monetary and political policies. We suggest investing no more than 5% to 10% of your portfolio in gold or gold stocks.  The Eastern European Fund invests more than 25% of its investments in companies principally engaged in the oil & gas or banking industries.  The risk of concentrating investments in this group of industries will make the fund more susceptible to risk in these industries than funds which do not concentrate their investments in an industry and may make the fund’s performance more volatile.  Because the Global Resources Fund concentrates its investments in a specific industry, the fund may be subject to greater risks and fluctuations than a portfolio representing a broader range of industries.  Tax-exempt income is federal income tax free. A portion of this income may be subject to state and local income taxes, and if applicable, may subject certain investors to the Alternative Minimum Tax as well.  Each tax free fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in securities that pay taxable interest.  Income or fund distributions attributable to capital gains are usually subject to both state and federal income taxes.  Bond funds are subject to interest-rate risk; their value declines as interest rates rise.
