RS Investments Introduces the RS Equity Dividend Fund

Strategy seeks to deliver dividend income and long-term growth potential

San Francisco, July 31, 2007 – RS Investments today announced the launch of the RS Equity Dividend Fund, which invests in a diversified portfolio of dividend-paying stocks that RS Investments believes have the potential for above-average dividend yield, dividend growth and long-term capital ap­preciation.

“This new product leverages a recognized strength of the RS Core Equity team” said Terry Otton, chief executive officer of RS Investments. “We expect it to be a compelling option for those investors who are seeking both income and growth potential as they approach or begin retirement.”

The Fund is managed by Raymond Anello, a portfolio manager with 19 years of investment management experience. Since November 2003, Mr. Anello has been the lead portfolio manager for an institutional account that fol­lows the same strategy as the RS Equity Dividend Fund. Over the course of his career, Mr. Anello has served as an analyst focusing on key sectors of the economy, such as energy, utilities, telecom, basic materials, healthcare services, media, and transportation, building a proven track record of stock selection.

Relying on fundamental research, Mr. Anello and his team of nine experi­enced analysts on the RS Core Equity team assess stocks from a universe of roughly 2,000 dividend-paying stocks. The team looks for well-managed companies that have the potential to expand their dividend growth rate over the next two to five years. The overall portfolio will focus on a core of ap­proximately 40 to 80 companies meeting the RS team’s investment criteria.
