Dear Fellow Shareholders:
I am pleased to report that the Manor Fund continued to
grow during this recent quarter, ending the year with $1.5
million in total assets. This growth is the result of new
shareholder contributions and market performance. I thank
each of you for contribution to our success.
The Fund posted a positive return for the quarter, and
rose 25.54% for the full year. On December 29, the Board of
Directors declared a dividend of $0.20 per share, of that
total $0.04 was net investment income and $0.16 was realized
capital gains. Additional information on the dividend is
contained on your year-end statement and in the dividend
notice mailed to all shareholders.
The 4th Quarter was difficult for most investors as
Asian currency problems triggered market declines. The
declines made dramatic headlines in the US, causing a knee-
jerk reaction in our markets. I used the market pullback
during the quarter to invest in Gillette, Merck, and Pfizer,
and to add to some existing Fund positions. Despite these
purchases, the Fund ended the year with a relatively high
cash position, which should benefit the Fund in a market
decline. I intend to invest some of the cash in the market
as opportunities arise.
The problems in Asia could be a blessing in disguise
because it will slow economic growth and keep inflation low,
which should help to reduce interest rates. By year-end,
long-term treasury rates declined to 5.92% from a high of
7.18% in mid-April. This decline in rates will reduce the
attractiveness of fixed income investments relative to
stocks.
I remain cautiously optimistic on the stock market at
this time. I think that interest rates will continue to
remain low and that companies will report better earnings
than many expect. I continue to believe that the stock
market provides the best return for long-term investors.
Sincerely,
Daniel A. Morris
