Brandywine Advisors Fund Becomes Brandywine Advisors Midcap Growth Fund

GREENVILLE, Del., Feb. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- The Brandywine Funds Board of Directors decided at its December 2007 meeting to give Brandywine Advisors Fund a new name that better conveys the Fund's objective. Upon delivery of its January 31, 2008 prospectus, Brandywine Advisors Fund officially became "Brandywine Advisors Midcap Growth Fund."

This is solely a name change. The Fund's objective, investment strategy, research team and ticker symbol (NASDAQ: BWAFX) remain the same. The new name aims to clearly communicate the same focus on mid-cap companies that Brandywine Advisors has maintained since its October 31, 2000 inception.

"Brandywine Advisors Midcap Growth Fund operates in a fruitful hunting ground for our earnings growth-driven investment strategy," said Bill D'Alonzo, President of the Brandywine Funds and Chief Executive Officer of Friess Associates, LLC, advisor to the Brandywine Funds.

Friess Associates also manages Brandywine Fund (NASDAQ: BRWIX) and Brandywine Blue Fund (NASDAQ: BLUEX) . Brandywine Advisors Midcap Growth specifically targets midsize companies between $2 billion and $15 billion in market capitalization. Brandywine is an all-cap fund, meaning it isolates companies that meet the Friess team's research criteria regardless of size. Brandywine Blue emphasizes larger companies with market caps greater than $6 billion.

Founded in 1974, Friess Associates manages approximately $15 billion, as of January 31, 2008, through the Brandywine Funds and roughly 150 separately managed portfolios for pension plans, foundations and endowments. Every Friess-managed portfolio follows the same time-tested investment strategy emphasizing the relationship between each company's earnings performance and its share price.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Brandywine Advisors Midcap Growth Fund invests in mid-cap companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility.

The funds' investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses must be considered carefully before investing.
