      Three of The Royce Funds were among the winners of the United States Lipper Fund Awards 2011, announced by Thomson Reuters on March 23, 2011:

      "We are honored to win three Lipper Awards this year, especially for longer-term time periods, which is in sync with our investment approach," said Co-CIO Whitney George.

      Held annually, the Lipper Fund Awards honor funds that have outperformed peers based on the highest risk-adjusted performance among funds within a given category for the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods ending 12/31/10. 

      The highest Lipper Leader for Consistent Return (Effective Return) value within each eligible classification determines the fund classification winner over three, five or 10 years. A high Lipper rating does not necessarily imply that a fund had the best total performance or that the fund achieved positive results for that period. Lipper Inc. is a major independent mutual fund tracking organization.

      Within each Lipper category, Lipper evaluated all funds for sale in the U.S. with at least 36 months of performance history, as of 12/31/10.
