Board of Trustees
Contrarian Value Fund:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Contrarian
Value Fund for the year ended January 31, 2000, we considered its internal
control structure, including procedures for safeguarding securities, in order
to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion
on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR,
not to provide assurance on the internal control structure.
The management of Contrarian Value Fund is responsible for establishing and
maintaining an internal control structure. In fulfilling this responsibility,
estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected
benefits and related costs of internal control structure policies and
procedures. Two of the objectives of an internal control structure are to
provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are
safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and transactions
are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly
to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure, errors or
irregularities may occur and may not be detected. Also, projection of any
evaluation of the structure to future periods is subject to the risk that it may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of
the design and operation may deteriorate.
Our consideration of the internal control structure would not necessarily
disclose all matters in the internal control structure that might be material
weaknesses under standards established by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or
operation of the specific internal control structure elements does not reduce to
a relatively low level the risk that errors or irregularities in amounts that
would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may
occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal
course of performing their assigned functions. However, we noted no matters
involving the internal control structure, including procedures for
safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined
above as of January 31, 2000.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
