Eventide Gilead Fund Announces Distribution Partnership with Multi-Funds

Boston, MA – February 21, 2012 – Eventide Gilead Fund (NASDAQ: ETGLX), a mutual fund practicing values-based and socially responsible investing, announced today the formation of a strategic marketing partnership with Multi-Funds, Inc., a financial services marketer of unique investment strategies.

“We are very excited to be working with Multi-Funds,” said Robin John, Eventide CEO. “Multi-Funds represents investment groups with highly differentiated strategies, making them the perfect marketing partner for our unique values-based investing mutual fund.”
The following table highlights the Fund’s performance over the past three years:

“We’re extremely excited to be chosen by Eventide as their strategic partner for sales and marketing,” said Mark Kamies, President of Multi-Funds. “Eventide is a firm with an unquestionable integrity level, noble goals, cutting-edge investment expertise and a worthy, non-correlating complement to our other great strategic partners.”

Eddie Finocchiaro, Multi-Funds’ Managing Partner and Regional Director for the northeast added, “The Eventide Gilead Fund is a story that begs to be told, and our 20 wholesalers nation-wide are excited to get going. We look forward to a long, strong and mutually beneficial relationship with Eventide.”

For Eventide, values-based investing means investing in companies that have bright financial return-prospects and that are at the same time shining examples of business. Eventide co-portfolio manager Finny Kuruvilla, MD, PhD explains:

“Values-based investing for us is a thick concept. It’s not just avoiding companies that lack certain values, but is a unified decision-making framework for finding companies that are both attractive for investment and truly admirable. At Eventide, we believe values-based investing actually provides the framework within which one can outperform.”

Since its inception on July 8, 2008, the Eventide Gilead Fund has generated a total annualized return of 9.13%, compared to a total annualized return of 1.89% for the S&P 500 index (as of 12/30/2011).

The following table highlights the Fund’s performance, as of 12/30/2011:

“The marketing partnership with Multi-Funds gives us national scale, from a team of regional directors with deep expertise and proven ability to execute,” said John of Eventide. “More exciting for us however, and a perfect alignment with values-based investing, is Multi-Funds’ commitment to creating value for financial advisors. Because Multi-Funds represents various mutual fund groups, they are able to serve as true consultants for advisors rather than having to promote any one fund or family of funds. Implicit in our partnership is Multi-Funds’ belief in the value of Eventide for advisors.”

Based in Nixa, MO, Multi-Funds, Inc. is comprised of 20 regional directors, each with an average of 17 years of industry distribution experience.
