Heartland Select Value Fund Triple Winner:
Clean Sweep in Lipper Multi-Cap Value Category

On April 2, Lipper, Inc. awarded the Heartland Select Value Fund the Best Multi-Cap Value Fund over all three time frames — 3, 5, and 10 years. The awards were earned based on Lipper's category of highest Consistent Return for each time period ending December 31, 2008, among 314, 244 and 101 funds, respectively.*

"This triple win across all three time periods demonstrates the strength and consistency of Heartland's investment process in a variety of market environments," said Dave Fondrie, co-portfolio manager of the Select Value Fund. "The Fund focuses on our very best ideas regardless of market capitalization, and this approach has served shareholders well over the short- and long-term."

This year also marks the third consecutive year the Select Value Fund has been awarded Best Multi-Cap Value Fund by Lipper over the 10-year time period for its risk-adjusted total return (out of 85 funds in 2007 for the period ending December 31, 2006 and 93 funds in 2008 for the period ending December 31, 2007).
