*Closed to new investors on April 15, 2004.
**Tamarack Micro Cap Value Fund was originally recommended when it was the Babson Shadow Stock Fund (SHSTX). Since the recommendation, the fund has been converted into a multi-class fund. Although shareholders of the fund prior to the conversion are able to purchase additional shares without a load, new shareholders must purchase a class of shares that carry a load. We don’t recommend funds carrying loads for this portfolio, so we consider it closed to new shareholders.

Fund Actions:
