Re: Initial Capital Agreement
Gentlemen:
In connection with my purchase from you and your issuance to me of 10,000
shares of the Hussman Strategic Growth Fund for an aggregate cash consideration
of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), this will confirm that I am buying
such shares for investment for my account only and not with a view to reselling
or otherwise distributing them.
Very truly yours,
/s/ John P. Hussman
