    return shown is at net asset value (NAV) and does not reflect the deduction of the sales charge, which if reflected, would reduce the performance shown. Please refer to the back

    of the presentation for full disclosure information. Total return calculations are based on a $10,000 investment. This data represents past performance and investors should

    understand that investment returns and principal values fluctuate, so that when you redeem your investment it may be worth more or less than its original cost. Current month-end

    performance data may be obtained by calling toll-free, 1-800-982-4372. Expense ratio as of most recent prospectus is 1.26%. A redemption fee of 2% may apply. The Fund

    commenced investment operations on June 2, 1993. The performance shown for periods prior to March 1, 1996 reflects the historical performance of a predecessor fund. FPA

    assumed control of the predecessor fund on March 1, 1996. The FPA Crescent Fund's objectives, policies, guidelines and restrictions are, in all material respects, equivalent to

    those of the predecessor fund.

    S&P 500 Index includes a representative sample of 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy. The index focuses on the large-cap segment of the market,

    with over 80% coverage of U.S. equities, but is also considered a proxy for the total market. CPI is a measure that examines the weighted average of prices of a basket of

    consumer goods and services, such as transportation, food and medical care. The CPI is calculated by taking price changes for each item in the predetermined basket of goods

    and averaging them; the goods are weighted according to their importance. 60% S&P500/40% Barclays Aggregate Index is a hypothetical combination of unmanaged indices

    comprised of 60% S&P 500 Index and 40% Barclays Aggregate Index, the Fund's neutral mix of 60% stocks and 40% bonds.

    Market Cycle Performance reflects two most recent market cycles (peak to peak) defined as a period that contains a decline of at least 15% from the previous market peak over at

    least a two-month period and a rebound to establish a new peak above the previous one by S&P 500 Index.

    1 We make a distinction between cash and liquidity, although we sometimes use them interchangeably. Cash includes the cash received from securities sold short and,

    as a result, can appear to overstate the cash balance. Therefore, we believe liquidity, which nets that out, is the more appropriate measure. Past performance is no

    guarantee of future result.

    1 For Crescent Fund since 9/30/1996, based on earliest data. Market capitalization is the value of a corporation as determined by the market price of its issued and outstanding

    common stock. It is calculated by multiplying the number of outstanding shares by the current market price of a share. 2 P/E and average P/E reflect the trailing 12 months, since 3/31/1999, based on earliest data. Price/Earnings ratio (P/E) is the price of a stock divided by its earnings per share. 3 Average since 9/30/1996, based on earliest data. Price/Book ratio is the current closing price of the stock by the latest quarters book value per share. 4 Average since 12/31/1997, based on earliest data. Debt/Total Capital for a fund's underlying stock holdings is calculated by dividing each security's long-term debt by its total

    capitalization (the sum of common equity plus preferred equity and long-term debt) and is a measure of the company's financial leverage. 5 Average since 3/31/1999, based on earliest data. Return on Equity is the amount of profit computed by dividing net income before taxes less preferred dividends by the value

    of stockholders equity.

    Congrats. This is big stuff and I know we have all given you a lot of crap

    over the years but this is pretty good stuff for redemption. So thanks for

    that. That's my best apology I can make, by the way. That's as good as I

    can get. You can keep your job a little longer, I guess.

    Anyways, I'm looking at slide 12 at the exit costs and the $23 billion impact.

    I assume that if you had gains on any of the sales that would be a natural

    offset to that. Is that a correct way to think about it?

    These slides are intended as supplemental material to the 1st Quarter 2015 FPA Crescent audio presentation that is posted on our website fpafunds.com.

    We do want to make sure you understand that the views expressed on these slides and in the accompanying audio presentation are as of today, April 30, 2015 and

    are subject to change based on market and other conditions. These views may differ from other portfolio managers and analysts of the firm as a whole, and are not

    intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results or investment advice. Any mention of individual securities or sectors should not be construed

    as a recommendation to purchase or sell such securities, and any information provided is not a sufficient basis upon which to make an investment decision. The

    information provided does not constitute, and should not be construed as, an offer or solicitation with respect to any securities, products or services discussed.

    Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. This data represents past performance and investors should understand that investment returns and

    principal values fluctuate, so that when you redeem your investment it may be worth more or less than its original cost. Performance has been calculated

    on a total return basis, which combines principal and dividend income changes for the periods shown. Principal changes are based on the difference

    between the beginning and closing net asset values for the period and assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions paid. All applicable

    expenses such as advisory fees have been included in calculating performance. It should not be assumed that recommendations made in the future will be

    profitable or will equal the performance of the security examples discussed. Current month-end performance data may be obtained by calling toll-free, 1-

    800-982-4372.

    You should consider the Funds investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses carefully before you invest. The Prospectus details the Fund's objective and policies and other matters of interest to the prospective investor. Please read this Prospectus carefully

    before investing. The Prospectus may be obtained by visiting the website at www.fpafunds.com, by email at [email protected], toll-free

    by calling 1-800-982-4372 or by contacting the Fund in writing.

    Statistics have been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but the accuracy and completeness cannot be guaranteed. The Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index

    (S&P 500) is a capitalization-weighted index which covers industrial, utility, transportation and financial service companies, and represents approximately 75% of the

    New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) capitalization and 30% of NYSE issues. This index is considered a measure of large capitalization stock performance. The index

    does not reflect any commissions or fees which would be incurred by an investor purchasing the stocks it represents.

    Investments in mutual funds carry risks and investors may lose principal value. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer,

    political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. The Fund may purchase foreign securities, including American Depository Receipts (ADRs) and other

    depository receipts, which are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic and political risks; this may be enhanced when investing in emerging

    markets. Small and mid cap stocks involve greater risks and they can fluctuate in price more than larger company stocks. Short-selling involves increased risks and

    transaction costs. You risk paying more for a security than you received from its sale.

    Interest rate risk is when interest rates go up, the value of fixed income securities, such as bonds, typically go down and investors may lose principal value. Credit risk

    is the risk of loss of principal due to the issuers failure to repay a loan. Generally, the lower the quality rating of a security, the greater the risk that the issuer will fail to pay interest fully and return principal in a timely manner. If an issuer defaults the security may lose some or all of its value.

    The return of principal in a bond investment is not guaranteed. Bonds have issuer, interest rate, inflation and credit risks. Lower rated bonds, callable bonds and other

    types of debt obligations involve greater risks. Mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk and the risk of default on the

    underlying mortgages or other assets.
