(CSRwire) Boston, MA - Winslow Management Company, LLC, an investment advisory firm and a leader in environmentally responsible, small-cap growth investing, today announced it has been named subadvisor for the Jupiter Green Investment Trust, a closed-end fund that was recently launched by Jupiter Asset Management, a leader in socially responsible investing in Europe and the UK. The fund trades under the ticker symbol (JGC) on the London Stock Exchange.

Winslow Management will manage the trust's North American assets -- which are expected to initially account for approximately 30 percent of the total portfolio -- as part of the fund's overall strategy in developing a global portfolio of companies focused on environmental solutions. The strategy for the Jupiter fund is quite different than many traditional socially responsible or "SRI" strategies, in that it will not use negative screening (where a company's activities are compared against a list of negative practices), but instead will focus its investments within six critical "green" sectors: water management, clean energy, green transport, waste management, sustainable living and environmental services.

Winslow's partnership with Jupiter on this fund is an extension of a long-standing relationship between the two firms. Charlie Thomas of Jupiter serves as the fund's lead manager, while Matt Patsky of Winslow is the manager for Winslow's subadvised portion of the fund.

Winslow attributes a great deal of its success to its thorough research methods that integrate environmental and financial analysis, with an emphasis on businesses and markets that are poised for rapid growth. The firm specializes in small-cap growth investing, and prides itself on original research that seeks to identify untapped shareholder value in capital markets that are often inefficiently priced.

Winslow is the investment adviser for the Winslow Green Growth Fund (WGGFX), a U.S. domiciled open-end fund. For the period ended 4/30/06, the fund achieved a four-star Morningstar Rating™ overall among 651 small growth funds. (The Overall Morningstar Rating for the fund is derived from a weighted average of the risk-adjusted performance figures associated with its three- and five-year Morningstar Rating Metrics.) For the period ended March 31, 2006, the fund's average annual returns for the one-year, five-year, and ten-year periods were 46.36%, 16.72% and 21.59%, respectively.

Winslow is passionate about its green investment philosophy and committed to investing in companies that are environmentally responsible or that are creating environmental solutions.

"We're thrilled to be working with Jupiter in launching this fund," said Jack Robinson, founder and president of Winslow. "An increasing number of companies are now realizing that the global environmental challenges we face provide opportunities in the form of new products or markets"

From Al Gore's new documentary on global warming to Vanity Fair's widely acclaimed "green issue," the environment is rapidly becoming a dominant issue on the agenda of both the public and private sectors. Winslow believes this recent focus reflects a growing public recognition of green investment opportunities that have existed for some time.

"We've seen the success of the organic food industry for quite some time, and more recently we've seen rapid acceleration in the alternative energy sector," said Patsky. "We think there is enormous potential for green companies going forward."

This press release is not an offer or a solicitation to purchase any investment products not available outside of the United States. In connection with the Winslow Green Growth Fund, before investing you should carefully consider the Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses.

The Winslow Green Growth Fund invests in small- and medium-sized companies. Investments in these companies involve greater risks, such as limited product lines, markets and financial or managerial resources. Foreside Fund Services, LLC is the distributor for the Winslow Green Growth Fund.

The Fund's return assumes the reinvestment of dividend and capital gain distributions. For the periods reported, some of the Fund's fees were waived or expenses reimbursed; otherwise, total return would have been lower. Prior to April 1, 2001, the Adviser managed a common trust fund with an investment objective and investment policies that were, in all material respects, equivalent to those of the Fund. The Fund's performance for periods before April 1, 2001 is that of the common trust fund and reflects the expenses of the common trust fund. If the common trust fund's performance had been readjusted to reflect the estimated expenses of the Fund for its first fiscal year, the performance would have been lower. The common trust fund was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") and was not subject to certain investment limitations, diversification requirements, and other restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act and t he Internal Revenue Code, which, if applicable, may have adversely affected its performance.

For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar RatingTM based on a Morningstar Risk- Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variation in the distribution percentages.) For the period ending 4/30/06 the Fund was rated against the following numbers of U.S-domiciled small growth funds over the following time periods: 651 funds in the last three years and 515 funds in the last five years. With respect to these small growth funds, the Fund receiv!
ed a Morningstar Rating of five stars and three stars for the three- and five-year periods, respectively. 2006 Morningstar, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
