July through September 2008

The Marsico Global Fund produced a total return of -14.60% during the third calendar quarter of 2008. That result, although steeply in negative territory, topped the Fund's primary global equity benchmark index, the MSCI All Country World Index ("MSCI ACWI"), which had a total quarterly return of -16.61%.1 Pursuant to a fee waiver agreement with Marsico Capital Management, LLC, the total annual operating expenses for the Global Fund are capped at 0.75%.2 This fee waiver may be terminated at any time after December 31, 2008. The table below provides the Global Fund's longer-term investment results through September 30, 2008, as compared to the MSCI ACWI:

This commentary highlights Fund performance over a single calendar quarter, and the Fund had only 15 months of operating history as of September 30, 2008. Shareholders should keep in mind that the Fund is intended for long-term investors who hold their shares for substantially longer periods of time. You should also keep in mind that our views on all securities and investments discussed in this commentary are subject to change at any time. References to specific securities, sectors, and industries discussed in this commentary are not recommendations to buy or sell the securities or investments, and the Fund may not necessarily hold these securities or investments today.6


In an exceedingly tumultuous global equity investing environment, the Marsico Global Fund managed to outperform its benchmark index during the third calendar quarter of 2008. That was attributable to several main factors (references to sectors and industries reflect Global Industry Classification Standard ("GICS") classifications):

Areas of investment that adversely impacted the Fund's quarterly performance included holdings in the Information Technology (MasterCard Inc.-Class A, Apple Inc., Visa Inc., and Research In Motion Ltd. (Research In Motion was sold during the quarter), Industrials (Vestas Wind Systems A/S, The Shaw Group Inc., All America Latina Logistica SA, and ABB Ltd.), and Consumer Staples sectors (Cosan S/A Industria e Comercio (sold during the quarter)) and Heineken Holding N.V.), as did our decision to underweight Health Care – an area that held up relatively well. Two Consumer Discretionary positions – Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (-33% prior to being sold) and Li & Fung Ltd. (-21%), a global trading company focused on managing the supply chain for consumer goods, also materially hampered performance.

At the close of the third calendar quarter of 2008, the Fund's primary economic sector allocations were in Financials, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary. Cash positions were allowed to increase as the quarter progressed. During the quarter, we increased the Fund's holdings in the Financials and Consumer Staples sectors. Positions in Industrials and Information Technology were substantially reduced. Not a great deal changed in terms of the Fund's country allocations. Overall, we continued to have a substantial overweight (as compared to the benchmark index) to the United States, primarily based on the premise that the US is farther along than many other parts of the world in terms of addressing the financial crisis and may emerge sooner than other countries from an economic growth slowdown. The Fund generally invested less than 40% of its net assets in foreign securities during the quarter (as may occur when we deem foreign market conditions not to be favorable), and dipped below a 30% weighting in foreign securities by quarter end.

The Fund also had an overweighted posture in Denmark, which was entirely attributable to its substantial position in Vestas Wind Systems. The Fund was relatively underweighted in countries such as the United Kingdom, Japan, France, and Germany. As of quarter-end, the Fund's largest country-level allocations (excluding cash equivalents held in dollars) were in the United States and Switzerland. As a reminder, the Global Fund's country allocations generally will be a residual of its "bottom-up" stock selection process.

Thank you for being an investor in the Fund.

Sincerely,
