Company Press Release

SAN FRANCISCO, May 26, 2011 – HighMark Capital Management, Inc., the investment adviser of HighMark Funds, today announced the addition of HighMark Geneva Small Cap Growth Fund to Morgan Keegan’s Select List.

“We are very pleased to have two of our Funds now available on Morgan Keegan’s Select List. Early this year our HighMark Geneva Mid Cap Growth Fund was added to Morgan Keegan’s recommended list. Both Funds are managed by the same highly-skilled portfolio managers and have generated an impressive track record,” said HighMark Funds Managing Director Kevin Rowell. “We are proud that HighMark Funds are now available to Morgan Keegan’s high-caliber group of investment professionals.”

HighMark is committed to helping clients achieve their long-term financial goals by providing high-quality, competitive products and services, utilizing both seasoned in-house managers and select institutional sub-advisers who are leaders in their field. Their funds utilize disciplined investment processes with the goal of delivering consistent long-term investment performance.

Mutual fund investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. The Mid Cap Growth Fund invests in securities of mid-capitalization companies that may be more volatile and less liquid than investments made in larger more established companies. In addition to the normal risks associated with equity investing, funds that invest in small cap companies may be subject to greater risks than large company stocks due to greater volatility and less liquidity. The Funds may also invest in exchange traded funds in which investors bear the extra costs of the underlying ETF funds.
