Dear Investor,
It was a pleasure to meet you at the 1996 Jay Schabacker's West Coast Conference
in Huntington Beach. Art Bonnel and I would like to thank you for joining us for
the dinner on Friday night. We also enjoyed the opportunity to talk to you
during the conference the following day.
During Art's presentation on Saturday, he discussed with you his technique for
picking the most successful stocks for the BONNEL GROWTH FUND. Hopefully he was
able to give you a good sense of his investment strategy and to inspire your
confidence in his expertise.
Art has more than twenty years of investment experience, ranging from trader to
portfolio manager, a rare quality among today's fund managers. Prior to 1994 and
the launch of the Bonnel Growth Fund, Art successfully managed another mutual
fund for many years.
You may wonder if there is anything investors can do to take the guesswork out
of the ever fluctuating stock market? By taking advantage of our ABC INVESTMENT
PLAN(R),* investors can protect themselves from the volatility that the stock
market may experience. It takes only $1,000 to get started, with automatic
monthly investments of $100 after that!
As of December 31, 1995, the Bonnel Growth Fund achieved a total return of
45.22%.** The Fund is no load and currently has over $50 million in assets. You
can find the Bonnel Growth Fund listed together
with United Services' other funds in most newspapers.
If you have any questions about the Bonnel Growth Fund or would like to know
more about United Services' other 12 no-load funds, please call our Investor
Service Representatives at 1-800-4-BONNEL (1-800-426-6635). They will be glad to
answer any of your questions.
Please enjoy the enclosed interview with Art in the February 6, 1996 issue of
THE VALUE LINE MUTUAL FUND ADVISOR. I'm looking forward to welcoming you as a
shareholder and hope to see you again at next year's
conference.
Best regards,
Johanna Thornblad
Vice President Communications
