The solicitation of proxies for use at the Meeting is being made primarily by the Funds by the mailing on or about February 29, 2008 of the Notice of Annual Meetings of Shareholders, this Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy. Supplementary solicitations may be made by mail, telephone or personal interview by officers and Trustees/Directors of the Funds and officers, employees and agents of the Funds’ investment adviser, ALPS Advisers, Inc. (“AAI” or the “Fund Manager”), and/or its affiliates. Authorization to execute proxies may be obtained from shareholders through instructions transmitted by telephone, facsimile or other electronic means. The expenses in connection with preparing this Proxy Statement and of the solicitation of proxies for the Meeting will be paid by the Funds. The Funds will reimburse brokerage firms and others for their expenses in forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares.

The Meeting is being held to vote on the matters described below:

PROPOSAL 1 and 2. ELECTION OF TRUSTEES OR DIRECTORS

Introduction

The Boards that oversee each Fund provide broad supervision over the affairs of each Fund. AAI is responsible for the investment management of each Fund’s assets and AAI’s affiliate, ALPS Fund Services, Inc. (“AFS”) provides a variety of other administrative services to each Fund. The officers of each Fund are responsible for its operations.

Each Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors is divided into three classes, each of which serves for three years. The term of office of one of the classes expires at the final adjournment of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (or special meeting in lieu thereof) each year or such later date as his successor shall have been elected and shall have qualified.

Shares of the Funds represented by duly executed proxies will be voted as instructed on the proxy. If no instructions are given when the enclosed proxy is executed and returned, the enclosed proxy will be voted for the election of the following persons to hold office until final adjournment of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the applicable Fund for the year set forth below (or special meeting in lieu thereof):

Equity Fund

Growth Fund

If elected, each of the above-named Trustees and Directors has consented to serve as Trustee or Director following the Meeting and each is expected to be able to do so. If any of them are unable or unwilling to do so at the time of the Meeting, proxies will be voted for such substitute as the applicable Board may recommend (unless authority to vote for the election of Trustees or Directors, as the case may be, has been withheld).

Trustees/Directors and Officers

The table below sets forth the names, addresses and age of the Trustees/Directors and principal officers of the Funds, the year each was first elected or appointed to office, their term of office (which will end on the final adjournment of the annual meeting (or special meeting in lieu thereof) held in the year set forth in the table), their principal business occupations during at least the last five years, the number of portfolios overseen by each Trustee/Director in the Fund Complex and their other directorships of public companies.

*The address for all Trustees/Directors is:  c/o ALPS Advisers, Inc., 1290 Broadway, Suite 1100; Denver, CO  80203

**As of December 31, 2007, the Fund Complex of ALPS Advisers, Inc., consisted of eight funds.

***Mr. Burke is an “interested person” of the Fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act, because he is an officer of AFS and ALPS Advisers.

All the Trustees/Directors are members of each Fund’s Audit Committee except for Mr. Burke.

Ages are shown as of February 15, 2008.

Principal Officers

Each person listed below serves as an officer of the Funds. The Board elects the Funds’ officers each year. Each Fund officer holds office until his or her successor is duly elected by the Board and qualified, or his or her removal, resignation or death. Each Fund officer serves at the pleasure of the Board. The following table provides basic information about the officers of the Funds as of the date of this Proxy Statement, including their principal occupations during the past five years, although their specific titles may have varied over that period.

*The address of each officer is: c/o ALPS Advisers, Inc., 1290 Broadway, Suite 1100; Denver, CO 80203

During 2007, the Board of Trustees/Directors of the Funds held four meetings, and the Audit Committee held four meetings. Each of these Board and Committee meetings was held jointly. All sitting Trustees/Directors were present at all meetings except for Mr. Brock who was unavoidably absent from the August 6, 2007 meeting.  The Funds do not have a formal policy on Trustee/Director attendance at annual meetings of shareholders. None of the Trustees/Directors attended the Funds’ 2007 annual shareholder meetings.

4

Shareholders may communicate with the Trustees/Directors as a group or individually. Any such communications should be sent to a Fund’s Board or an individual Trustee/Director in writing, c/o the Secretary of the Liberty All-Star Funds, 1290 Broadway, Suite 1100, Denver, CO 80203. The Secretary may determine not to forward any letter to the Board or a Trustee/Director that does not relate to the business of a Fund.

Audit Committee

Messrs. Benning, Brock, Gaspari, Lowry, Neuhauser and Rantzow (Committee Chairman) are members of the Audit Committee of each Fund. Each Fund’s Audit Committee is comprised only of members who are “Independent Trustees/Directors^” (as defined in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Listing Standards for trustees/directors of closed-end investment companies) of the Funds and who are also not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the Fund. Each Board of Trustees/Directors has determined, in accordance with NYSE Listing Standards, that each member of the Audit Committees is financially literate and that one of its members has prior accounting experience or related financial management expertise.

Each Audit Committee has adopted a written Audit Committee charter that sets forth the Audit Committee’s structure, duties and powers, and methods of operation.  The principal functions of each Audit Committee are to assist Board oversight of: (1) the integrity of the Fund’s financial statements, (2) the Fund’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) the qualifications and independence of the independent registered public accounting firm (also referred to herein as the independent accountants), (4) the performance of AAI’s internal audit function, and (5) the performance of the independent accountants. Each Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the independent accountants (including the resolution of disagreements between management and the independent accountants regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other review or attest services for the Fund.

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee of each Fund has submitted the following report:

At a meeting of the Audit Committees on [                         ], 2008, the Audit Committees: (i) reviewed and discussed with management the Funds’ audited financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal year; (ii) discussed with Deloitte & Touche (“D&T”) the Funds’ independent registered public accountants, the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61; and (iii) obtained from D&T a formal written statement consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees,” describing all relationships between D&T and the Funds that might bear on D&T’s independence and discussed with D&T any relationships that may impact D&T’s objectivity and independence and satisfied itself as to D&T’s independence. Based on its review and discussion, the Audit Committees recommended to the Boards of Trustees/Directors that the audited financial statements for each Fund be included in that Fund’s Annual Report to shareholders.

Nomination Information

Neither Fund has a nominating or compensation committee. The Fund Boards do not believe that a nominating committee is necessary because there has been minimal turnover in the Trustees/Directors serving on the Board of each Fund.

When necessary or appropriate, the Disinterested Trustees/Directors of each Fund serve as an ad hoc committee for the consideration of Trustee/Director nominations. No ad hoc nominating committee of either Fund has adopted a charter. Disinterested Trustees/Directors are nominated only by an ad hoc nominating committee. Each Fund’s Disinterested Trustees/Directors are “independent” under NYSE Listing Standards, and are not “interested persons” of the Fund under the Investment Company Act.

5

The Disinterested Trustees/Directors consider prospective Trustee/Director candidates from any reasonable source, including current Disinterested Trustees/Directors, Fund management, Fund shareholders and other persons or entities. Although the Funds do not have a formal policy, shareholders of a Fund who wish to nominate a candidate to a Fund’s Board may send information regarding prospective candidates to the Funds’ Secretary at 1290 Broadway, Suite 1100, Denver, CO 80203. The information should include evidence of the shareholders’ Fund ownership, a full listing of the proposed candidate’s education, experience, current employment, date of birth, names and addresses of at least three professional references, information as to whether the candidate is not an “interested person” under the Investment Company Act and “independent” under NYSE Listing Standards in relation to the Fund, and such other information as may be helpful to the Disinterested Trustees/Directors in evaluating the candidate. All satisfactorily completed information packages regarding a candidate will be forwarded to a Disinterested Trustee/Director for consideration. Recommendations for candidates will be evaluated in light of whether the number of Trustees/Directors of a Fund is expected to be increased and in light of anticipated vacancies. All nominations from Fund shareholders will be acknowledged. During periods when the Disinterested Trustees/Directors are not recruiting new Board members, nominations will be maintained on file pending the active recruitment of Trustees/Directors.

The Disinterested Trustees/Directors have no formal list of qualifications for Trustee/Director nominees. However, the Disinterested Trustees/Directors may consider, among other things, whether prospective nominees have distinguished records in their primary careers, unimpeachable integrity, and substantive knowledge in areas important to the Board’s operations, such as background or education in finance, auditing, securities law, the workings of the securities markets, or investment advice. For candidates to serve as Disinterested Trustees/Directors, independence from the Funds’ investment adviser, its affiliates and other principal service providers is critical, as is an independent and questioning mind-set. In each case, the Disinterested Trustees/Directors will evaluate whether a candidate is an “interested person” under the Investment Company Act and “independent” under NYSE Listing Standards. The Disinterested Trustees/Directors also consider whether a prospective candidate’s workload should allow him or her to attend the vast majority of Board meetings, be available for service on Board committees, and devote the additional time and effort necessary to stay apprised of Board matters and the rapidly changing regulatory environment in which the Funds operate. Different substantive areas may assume greater or lesser significance at particular times, in light of a Board’s present composition and its perceptions about future issues and needs.

The Disinterested Trustees/Directors initially evaluate prospective candidates on the basis of their resumes, considered in light of the criteria discussed above. Those prospective candidates that appear likely to be able to fill a significant need of the Boards would be contacted by a Disinterested Trustee/Director by telephone to discuss the position; if there appeared to be sufficient interest, an in-person meeting with one or more Disinterested Trustees/Directors would be arranged. If the Disinterested Trustees/Directors, based on the results of these contacts, believed it had identified a viable candidate, it would air the matter with the full group of Disinterested Trustees/Directors for input. Any request by Fund management to meet with the prospective candidate would be given appropriate consideration. The Funds have not paid a fee to third parties to assist in finding nominees.

Compensation

The following table shows, for the year ended December 31, 2007, the compensation received from each Fund by the Trustees/Directors, and the aggregate compensation paid to the Trustees/Directors for service on the Boards of funds within the Fund Complex. Neither Fund has a bonus, profit sharing or retirement plan.

(1)   As of December 18, 2006, the Funds became part of the ALPS Advisers, Inc., fund complex (“ALPS Fund Complex”).  The ALPS Fund Complex consists of eight investment companies.

Share Ownership

The following table shows the dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned by each Trustee/Director as of December 31, 2007 (i) in each of the Funds, and (ii) in all funds overseen by the Trustee/Director in the Fund Complex.

*The Funds’ Family of Investment Companies is comprised of the Equity Fund and the Growth Fund.

During the past five calendar years, Mr. Lowry has had a material interest in a trust (approximately $4,881,000 as of December 31, 2007) which owns units of a limited partnership whose investments are managed by M.A. Weatherbie & Co., Inc., a portfolio manager of the Growth Fund, and whose general partner is Weatherbie Limited Partnership. Mr. Benning also has had a material interest in that trust (approximately $1,486,050 as of December 31, 2007).  Messrs. Lowry and Benning also have a material interest ($2,900,000 and $358,786 respectively) in Cheetah Investment Partnership, LP, managed by Arnold Schneider, President and Chief Investment Officer of Schneider Capital Management Corp, portfolio manager to the Equity Fund.

Required Vote

Only shareholders of record of a Fund on February 15, 2008 may vote. The election of the Trustees of the Equity Fund is by a plurality of the shares voting at the Meeting. Since two Trustees of the Equity Fund are to be elected, the two persons who receive the highest number of votes cast at the Meeting will be elected. The election of the Directors of the Growth Fund is by a majority vote of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote. Since two Directors of the Growth Fund are to be elected, the two Directors who receive a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the Meeting will be elected.

THE BOARDS RECOMMEND THAT SHAREHOLDERS OF EACH FUND VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 1 and 2.

PROPOSAL 3.  APPROVAL OF PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (GROWTH FUND ONLY).

Shareholders of the Growth Fund are being asked to approve a new Portfolio Management Agreement (Exhibit A) among Growth Fund, ALPS Advisers, Inc. and Chase Investment Counsel Corporation (“Chase” or “Portfolio Manager”).

The Multi-Manager Methodology

The Fund allocates its portfolio assets among a number of independent investment management firms (Portfolio Managers) recommended by the Fund Manager and approved by the Board, currently three for the Growth Fund.  Each Portfolio Manager employs a different investment style and/or strategy, and from time to time the Fund Manager rebalances the Fund’s portfolio among the Portfolio Managers.  The Fund’s multi-manager methodology is based on the premise that most investment management firms consistently employ a distinct investment style which causes them to emphasize stocks with particular characteristics, and that, because of changing investor preferences, any given investment style will move into and out of market favor and will result in better performance under certain market conditions but poorer market performance under other conditions.  The Fund’s multi-manager methodology seeks to achieve more consistent and less volatile performance over the long term than if a single Portfolio Manager was employed.

The Portfolio Managers recommended by AAI represent a blending of different styles which, in AAI’s opinion, is appropriate for the Growth Fund’s investment objective and which is sufficiently broad that at least one of such styles can reasonably be expected to be in relative market favor in all reasonably foreseeable market conditions.  AAI continuously analyzes and evaluates the investment performance and portfolios of the Growth Fund’s Portfolio Managers and from time to time recommends changes in the Portfolio Managers.  Such recommendations could be based on factors such as a change in a Portfolio Manager’s investment style or a Portfolio Manager’s divergence from the investment style for which it was selected, changes deemed by AAI to be potentially adverse in a Portfolio Manager’s personnel or ownership or other structural or organizational changes affecting the Portfolio Manager, or a deterioration in a Portfolio Manager’s investment performance when compared to that of other investment management firms employing similar investment styles.  Portfolio Manager changes may also be made to change the mix of investment styles employed by the Growth Fund’s Portfolio Managers.  Portfolio Manager changes, as well as the rebalancing of the Growth Fund’s assets among the Portfolio Managers, may result in portfolio turnover in excess of what would otherwise be the case.  Increased portfolio turnover results in increased brokerage commission and transaction costs, and may result in the recognition of additional capital gains.

Under the terms of an exemptive order issued to the Growth Fund and ALPS Advisers by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Growth Fund may enter into a portfolio management agreement with a new or additional Portfolio Manager recommended by ALPS Advisers in advance of shareholder approval, provided that the new agreement is at a fee no higher than that provided in, and is on other terms and conditions substantially similar to, the Growth Fund’s agreements with its other Portfolio Managers, and that its continuance is subject to approval by shareholders at the Growth Fund’s regularly scheduled annual meeting next following the date of the portfolio management agreement with the new or additional Portfolio Manager.  Accordingly, the Portfolio Management Agreement (“New Agreement”) among the Fund, AAI and Chase Investment Counsel Corporation (“Chase”) is being submitted for shareholder approval at the Meeting.

New Portfolio Management Agreement with Chase

AAI continuously monitors and evaluates each Portfolio Manager on a quantitative and qualitative basis.  The evaluation process focuses on, but is not limited to, the firm’s philosophy, investment process, personnel and performance.  After evaluation based on these criteria, AAI deemed it in the best interest of the Growth Fund to terminate William Blair & Company, LLC (“William Blair”), a portfolio manager of the Growth Fund since March 1, 1997, and to replace William Blair with Chase because AAI believes that Chase’s investment philosophy and management style would be more compatible with the philosophies of the Growth Fund’s other Portfolio Managers.  AAI also believes that Chase’s investment management process and performance record would benefit the Growth Fund.  Based upon these factors and Chase’s generally favorable performance record, AAI recommended that the Board approve a Portfolio Management Agreement among the Growth Fund, AAI and Chase.

8

Based upon the foregoing and on AAI’s quantitative and qualitative analyses, AAI recommended, and the Growth Fund’s Board of Directors approved on December 10, 2007, the termination of the Growth Fund’s portfolio management agreement with William Blair and its replacement with Chase, effective January 2, 2008.  The Portfolio Management Agreement (“Old Agreement”) dated December 15, 2006 among William Blair, AAI and the Growth Fund had been approved most recently by shareholders on November 21, 2006 in connection with the sale by Banc of America Investment Advisors, Inc. (“BAIA”) to AAI and ALPS Holdings, Inc. of certain assets relating to BAIA’s business of providing investment advisory and certain administrative services to the Funds.  For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, AAI paid William Blair advisory fees equal to $              .

Differences between the Old and New Portfolio Management Agreements

The form of the Portfolio Management Agreement with Chase is set forth in Exhibit A to this proxy statement.  The terms of the New Agreement with Chase are the same as the terms of the Old Agreement with William Blair.  The fees paid to Chase under the New Agreement are the same as the fees paid to William Blair under the Old Agreement.  In both cases, the sub-advisory fee is paid by AAI, not the Growth Fund.

Services Provided by the Portfolio Manager

The New Agreement with Chase essentially provides that Chase, under the Board’s and AAI’s supervision and subject to the Growth Fund’s registration statement, will: (1) formulate and implement an investment program for the Fund’s assets assigned to Chase; (2) decide what securities to buy and sell for the Fund’s portfolio (or the portion of the Fund’s portfolio managed by Chase); (3) select brokers and dealers to carry out portfolio transactions for the Fund (or the portion of the Fund’s portfolio managed by Chase); and (4) report results to the Board of the Growth Fund.

Term of the New Agreement

The New Agreement with Chase provides that it will continue in effect for an initial period beginning on January 2, 2008 and ending on the second anniversary of that date. After that, it will continue in effect from year to year as long as the continuation is approved at least annually (i) by the Growth Fund’s Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Growth Fund, and (ii) by vote of a majority of the Growth Fund’s Disinterested Directors.

Compensation under the New Agreement

For services provided to the Growth Fund, AAI will pay to Chase, on or before the 10^th day of each calendar month, a fee calculated and accrued daily and payable monthly by AAI for the previous calendar month at the annual rate of:

(1)  0.40% of the Portfolio Manager’s Percentage (“Portfolio Manager’s Percentage” means the percentage obtained by dividing the average daily net assets in the Portfolio Manager Account by the Fund’s average daily net assets) of the average daily net assets of the Fund up to and including $300 million; and

(2)  0.36% of the Portfolio Manager’s Percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund exceeding $300 million.

Termination of the New Agreement

The New Agreement for the Growth Fund may be terminated without penalty (i) by vote of the Fund’s Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, on thirty days’ written notice to the Portfolio Manager, (ii) by the Fund Manager upon thirty days’ written notice to the Portfolio Manager, or (iii) by the Portfolio Manager upon ninety days’ written notice to the Fund Manager and the Fund, and the New Portfolio Management Agreements terminate automatically in the event of their “assignment,” as described above, or upon termination of the New Fund Management Agreement.

Liability of the Portfolio Manager

The New Agreement provides that the Chase will not be liable to AAI, the Growth Fund or its shareholders, except for liability arising from the Portfolio Manager’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or violation of the standard of care established by and applicable to Chase in its actions under the New Agreement or breach of its duty or obligations under the New Agreement.

Board Evaluation and Recommendation

At its meeting on December 10, 2007, the Growth Fund’s Board of Directors, including all of the Disinterested Directors, approved the New Agreement.  Before approving the New Agreement, the Directors considered management’s recommendations as to the approval of the New Agreement.  As part of the Board’s approval process, legal counsel to the Disinterested Directors requested certain information from Chase and the Directors received reports from Chase that addressed specific factors to be considered by the Board.  The Board’s counsel also provided the Directors with a memorandum regarding their responsibilities in connection with the approval of the Agreement.

In voting to approve the New Agreement, the Board considered the overall fairness of the Agreement and the factors it deemed relevant with respect to the Growth Fund including, but not limited to: (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Growth Fund under the New Agreement; (2) Chase’s investment performance for comparably managed accounts; (3) the fees paid by the Fund and the fees charged by Chase to other clients, as applicable; and (4) the effect of changes in the Growth Fund’s asset levels on the fee paid to Chase by AAI and overall expense ratios (economies of scale).

The Board did not consider any single factor or particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the New Agreement and each Director may have afforded different weight to the various factors.  The Board noted that the Directors have considered various reports and information about Chase provided throughout the year at their regular Board meetings in connection with Chase’s management of a portion of the Equity Fund’s investment portfolio.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services.  The Board considered Chase’s experience in serving as a sub-adviser for the Equity Fund and in managing other large cap growth accounts.  The Board also considered information regarding Chase’s investment philosophy and process.  In addition, the Board reviewed the background and experience of the personnel who would be responsible for managing the large cap growth portion of the Growth Fund’s portfolio.  The Board also considered Chase’s compliance program and compliance records.  The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by Chase were consistent with the terms of the New Agreement and that the Growth Fund was likely to benefit from services provided by Chase under the New Agreement.

Investment Performance.  The Board considered the Chase’s large cap investment performance relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index and the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Universe rankings.  The Board considered that Chase’s large cap investment accounts outperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index for the quarter, the year-to-date, the three year, seven-year and ten year period ended September 30, 2007.  The Board also considered that Chase’s large cap investment performance ranked in or close to the top quartile of the relevant Lipper Large Cap Funds Universe for the quarter, year-to-date, seven year and ten year periods.  The Board noted that the only period in which Chase underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index was the five-year period ended September 30, 2007, when Chase’s investment performance ranked in the last quartile of the relevant Lipper Funds Universe.  The Board concluded that Chase’s large cap investment performance has been reasonable.

Fees and Expenses.  The Board considered that the fee to be paid to Chase under the New Agreement is the same as the fee paid to William Blair.  The Boards noted that the fee is less than the fee that Chase charges for managing a comparably-sized institutional separate account.  The Board also noted that the fee schedule for the New Agreement has breakpoints at which the fee rate declines as the Growth Fund’s assets increase above the breakpoint.  The Board concluded that the fees payable to Chase under the New Agreement were reasonable in relation to the nature and quality for the services expected to be provided, taking into account the fees Chase charges to other clients.

Profitability and Costs of Services.  The Board considered that the fee rate to be paid to Chase for managing the Growth Fund would be the lowest rate that Chase offers for comparable clients and that the amount of the fee would decline as the Growth Fund increases in size.  The Board considered that the fee under the New Agreement would be paid to Chase by AAI, not the Fund. Accordingly, the Board determined that AAI’s costs and profitability in providing services to the Growth Fund were generally more relevant to the Board’s evaluation of the fees and expenses paid by the Growth Fund than Chase’s costs and profitability.  The Board noted that it would be considering AAI’s costs and profitability in connection with its review of the Growth Fund’s Management Agreement in 2008.

Economies of Scale.  The Board also considered the potential “fall-out” benefits (including the receipt of research products and services from unaffiliated brokers) that Chase might receive in connection with its association with the Fund.  In addition, the Board acknowledged that Chase’s well-established stand-alone management relationships independent of the Growth Fund and

10

the regulatory risks Chase would assume in connection with the management of the Fund.  The Board concluded that the fee schedule reflects economies of scale that may be realize by Chase as the Growth Fund’s assets increase.

Based on its evaluation, the Board unanimously concluded that the terms of the New Agreement were reasonable and fair and that the approval of the New Agreement was in the best interests of the Growth Fund and its shareholders.  The Board unanimously voted to approve and recommend to the shareholders of the Growth Fund that they approve the New Agreement.

The portfolio management agreements with the Funds provide, in substance, that in executing portfolio transactions and selecting brokers or dealers, the primary responsibility of the Portfolio Manager is to seek to obtain best net price and execution for the Funds.

The Portfolio Managers are authorized to cause the Funds to pay a commission to a broker or dealer who provides research products and services to the Portfolio Manager for executing a portfolio transaction which is in excess of the

13

amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting the same transaction. The Portfolio Managers must determine in good faith, however, that such commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the research products and services provided to them, viewed in terms of that particular transaction or in terms of all the client accounts (including the Fund) over which the Portfolio Manager exercises investment discretion. It is possible that certain of the services received by a Portfolio Manager attributable to a particular transaction will primarily benefit one or more other accounts for which investment discretion is exercised by the Portfolio Manager.

In addition, under their portfolio management agreements with the Funds and AAI the Portfolio Managers, in selecting brokers or dealers to execute portfolio transactions for the Funds, are authorized to consider (and AAI may request them to consider) brokers or dealers that provide to AAI, directly or through third parties, research products or services such as research reports; portfolio analyses; compilations of securities prices, earnings, dividends and other data; computer software, and services of one or more consultants. The commissions paid on such transactions may exceed the amount of commission another broker would have charged for effecting that transaction. Research products and services made available to AAI include performance and other qualitative and quantitative data relating to investment managers in general and the Portfolio Managers in particular; data relating to the historic performance of categories of securities associated with particular investment styles; mutual fund portfolio and performance data; data relating to portfolio manager changes by pension plan fiduciaries; and related computer software, all of which are used by AAI in connection with its selection and monitoring of Portfolio Managers, the assembly of an appropriate mix of investment styles, and the determination of overall portfolio strategies.

AAI from time to time reaches understandings with each of the Funds’ Portfolio Managers as to the amounts of the Funds’ portfolio transactions initiated by such Portfolio Manager that are to be directed to brokers and dealers which provide or make available research products and services to AAI and the commissions to be charged to the Funds in connection therewith. These amounts may differ among the Portfolio Managers based on the nature of the market for the types of securities managed by them and other factors.

Although the Funds do not permit a Portfolio Manager to act or to have a broker-dealer affiliate act as broker for Fund portfolio transactions initiated by it, the Portfolio Managers are permitted to place Fund portfolio transactions initiated by them with another Portfolio Manager or its broker-dealer affiliate for execution on an agency basis, provided that the commission does not exceed the usual and customary broker’s commission being paid to other brokers for comparable transactions and is otherwise in accordance with the Funds’ procedures adopted pursuant to Rule 17e-1 under the Investment Company Act.

For the fiscal ended December 31, 2007, the Growth Fund paid aggregate commissions of $               to affiliated brokers, representing       % of the aggregate brokerage commissions paid by the Growth Fund in the past year.  The Growth Fund’s affiliated brokers are [              ] and [              ].  [              ] is an affiliated broker of the Growth Fund because [              ].  [              ] is an affiliated broker of the Growth Fund because [                ].

On February 15, 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued the Funds exemptive relief from Sections 10(f), 17(a) and 17(e) and Rule 17e-1 under the Investment Company Act to permit (1) broker-dealers which are, or are affiliated with, Portfolio Managers of the Funds to engage in principal transactions with, and provide brokerage services to, portion(s) of the Funds advised by another Portfolio Manager, and (2) the Funds to purchase securities either directly from a principal underwriter which is an affiliate of a Portfolio Manager or from an underwriting syndicate of which a principal underwriter is affiliated with a Portfolio Manager of the Funds.  The Funds now rely on Rule 17a-10 under the Investment Company Act rather than this exemptive relief.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Boards of Trustees/Directors of the Funds have selected Deloitte & Touche LLP (“D&T”) as independent registered public accountants for fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.  Financial statements for the Funds’ fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 were audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC).

D&T serves as the independent registered public accounting firm (“independent accountants”) for each Fund and provides audit services, audit-related services, tax services and/or other services to the Funds.  Representatives of D&T are not expected to be present at the Meeting but have been given the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available should any matter arise requiring their presence.

14

From September, 1999 to August 6, 2007, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) served as the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm.  During the two most recent fiscal years, PwC’s audit reports contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion; nor were its reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.  Further, in connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and through August 6, 2007, there were no disagreements between the Funds’ and PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its report on the financial statements for such years.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services

Each Fund’s Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the engagement of the Fund’s independent accountants to provide audit and non-audit services to the Fund and non-audit services to AAI or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with AAI that provides ongoing services to the Fund (“AAI Affiliates”), if the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of the Fund, including the fees and other compensation to be paid to the independent accountants.

The Funds’ Audit Committees have adopted a Policy for Engagement of Independent Accountants for Audit and Non-Audit Services (“Policy”). The Policy sets forth the understanding of the Audit Committees regarding the engagement of the Fund’s independent accountants to provide: (i) audit and permissible audit-related, tax and other services to the Funds; (ii) non-audit services to AAI and AAI Affiliates, if the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of a Fund; and (iii) other audit and non-audit services to AAI and AAI Affiliates. Unless a type of service receives general pre-approval under the Policy, it requires specific pre-approval by the Audit Committees if it is to be provided by the independent accountants. Pre-approval of non-audit services to the Funds, AAI or AAI Affiliates may be waived provided that the “de minimis” requirements set forth in the SEC’s rules relating to pre-approval of non-audit services are met.

Under the Policy, the Audit Committees may delegate pre-approval authority to any pre-designated member or members who are Independent Trustees/Directors. The member(s) to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next regular meeting. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities with respect to the pre-approval of services performed by the independent accountants may not be delegated to management.

The Policy requires the Fund Treasurer and/or Director of Board Administration to submit to the Audit Committee, on an annual basis, a schedule of the types of services that are subject to general pre-approval. The schedule(s) provide a description of each type of service that is subject to general pre-approval and, where possible, will provide estimated fee caps for each instance of providing each service. The Audit Committees will review and approve the types of services and review the projected fees for the next fiscal year and may add to, or subtract from, the list of general pre-approved services from time to time based on subsequent determinations. That approval acknowledges that each Fund’s Audit Committee is in agreement with the specific types of services that the independent accountants will be permitted to perform.

Fees Paid to Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The following table sets forth for each Fund the aggregate fees billed by PwC for the Fund’s 2006 fiscal year and through August 6, 2007, and by D&T from August 7, 2007 through December 31, 2007 for professional services rendered for (a) all audit and non-audit services provided directly to the Fund and (b) those non-audit services provided to AAI and AAI Affiliates that relate directly to the Fund’s operations and financial reporting under the following captions:

15

During the Funds’ fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2076, no services described under “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees” or “All Other Fees” were approved pursuant to the de minimis exception set forth in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. All of the audit fees, audit-related fees and tax fees billed by PwC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and through August 6, 2007 and by D&T from August 7, 2007 through December 31, 2007 were pre-approved by each Fund’s Audit Committee.

The aggregate non-audit fees billed by PwC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 for services rendered to: (a) the Equity Fund and AAI and AAI Affiliates (providing ongoing services to the Equity Fund) were $9,600; and (b) the Growth Fund and AAI and AAI Affiliates (providing ongoing services to the Growth Fund) were and $9,600.  The aggregate non-audit fees billed by PwC from January 1, 2007 through August 6, 2007 for services rendered to: (a) the Equity Fund and AAI and AAI Affiliates (rendering ongoing services to the Equity Fund) were $          ; and (b) the Growth Fund and AAI and AAI Affiliates (rendering ongoing services to the Growth Fund) were $                .  The aggregate non-audit fees billed by D&T for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 for services rendered to: (a) the Equity Fund and AAI and AAI affiliates (providing ongoing services to the Equity Fund) were $          ; and (b) the Growth Fund and AAI and AAI Affiliates (providing ongoing services to the Growth Fund) were $          .

16

Each Fund’s Audit Committee has determined that the provision by D&T of non-audit services to AAI and/or AAI Affiliates that were not pre-approved by the Committee (because such services did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund) was compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC or D&T as the Fund’s independent accountants. All services provided by PwC or by D&T to a Fund for 2006 and 2007 that were required to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee were pre-approved.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE MEETING

Each proxy solicited by the Boards of Trustees/Directors which is properly executed and returned in time to be voted at the Meeting will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions on the proxy. If no specification is made on a proxy, it will be voted FOR the election as Trustees/Directors of the Funds of the nominees named under Proposal 1. Any proxy may be revoked at any time prior to its use by written notification received by the Funds’ Secretary, by the execution and delivery of a later-dated proxy, or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.

For each Fund, a majority of the shares outstanding on the record date and entitled to vote, present and in person or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business by the shareholders of that Fund at the Meeting.

Only shareholders of record of a Fund on February 15, 2008 may vote. The election of the Trustees of the Equity Fund is by a plurality of the shares voting at the Meeting. Since three Trustees of the Equity Fund are to be elected, the three persons who receive the highest number of votes cast at the Meeting will be elected. The election of the Directors of the Growth Fund is by a majority vote of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote. Since two Directors of the Growth Fund are to be elected, the two Directors who receive a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the Meeting will be elected.

Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. If a proposal must be approved by a percentage of votes cast on the proposal, which is the case for the election of Trustees of the Equity Fund, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as “votes cast” on the proposal and will have no effect on the result of the vote. However, if a proposal must be approved by a percentage of shares present at the Meeting and entitled to be cast, which is the case for the election of Directors of the Growth Fund, the effect of an abstention or broker non-vote will be the same as a vote against the proposal because an absolute percentage of affirmative votes is required, regardless of the number of votes cast, and neither an abstention nor a broker non-vote is an affirmative vote. “Broker non-votes” occur where: (i) shares are held by brokers or nominees, typically in “street name”; (ii) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote the shares; and (iii) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter.

In the event a quorum is present at the Meeting, but sufficient votes to approve a proposal have not been received or in the discretion of such persons, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. A shareholder vote may be taken on one or more of the proposals referred to above prior to such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received and it is otherwise appropriate. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares present at the Meeting (including abstentions and broker non-votes) in person or by proxy. If a quorum is present, the persons named as proxies will vote those proxies that they are entitled to vote FOR any such proposal in favor of such adjournment and will vote those proxies required to be voted for rejection of such proposal against any such adjournment. In the event of an adjournment, no notice is required other than, in the case of the Growth Fund, an announcement at the meeting at which adjournment is taken.

All shareholders of record of a Fund on February 15, 2008 are entitled to one vote for each share held. As of the record date, there were 178,677,459 outstanding shares of beneficial interest of Equity Fund and  28,486,607 outstanding shares of common stock of Growth Fund. To the knowledge of the Funds, on the record date for the Meeting, no shareholder owned beneficially, as defined by Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, more than 5% of the outstanding shares of either Fund. As of February 15, 2008 the following persons were known to own more than 5% of the outstanding securities of the Funds:

17

18

In addition, the Trustees, Directors and officers of each Fund, in the aggregate, owned less than 1% of each Fund’s outstanding shares as of the record date.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Funds’ Trustees/Directors and officers and persons who own more than ten percent of the Funds’ outstanding shares and certain officers and directors of the Funds’ investment advisers (collectively, “Section 16 reporting persons”) to file with the SEC initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of Fund shares. Section 16 reporting persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Funds with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the Funds’ knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Funds and on representations made, all Section 16 reporting persons complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them for the year ended December 31, 2007.

OTHER INFORMATION

The 2007 Annual Report for each Fund accompanied this proxy statement. You may obtain an additional copy of the report and the semi-annual report for each Fund dated June 30, 2007, free of charge, by writing to the Fund c/o ALPS Fund Services, Inc., 1290 Broadway, Suite 1100, Denver, CO 80203, or by calling 1-800-241-1850.

SUBMISSION OF CERTAIN SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

Under the SEC’s proxy rules, shareholder proposals meeting tests contained in those rules may, under certain conditions, be included in the Funds’ proxy material for a particular annual shareholders meeting. Under the foregoing proxy rules, proposals submitted for inclusion in the proxy material for the 2009 Annual Meeting must be received by the Funds on or before November 1, 2008. The fact that the Funds receive a shareholder proposal in a timely manner does not ensure its inclusion in its proxy material, since there are other requirements in the proxy rules relating to such inclusion. You may submit shareholder proposals to the Secretary of the Funds, 1290 Broadway, Suite 1100, Denver, Colorado 80203.

Shareholders who wish to make a proposal at a Fund’s 2009 Annual Meeting that will not be included in the Funds’ proxy materials must notify the Fund on or before January 15, 2009. If a shareholder who wishes to submit a proposal fails to timely notify the Fund, the proxies solicited for the meeting will have discretionary authority to vote on the shareholder’s proposal if it is properly brought before the meeting. If a shareholder makes a timely notification, the proxies may still exercise discretionary voting authority under circumstances consistent with the SEC’s proxy rules.

Exhibit A

LIBERTY ALL-STAR GROWTH FUND, INC.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

CHASE INVESTMENT COUNSEL CORPORATION

January 2, 2008

Re:  Portfolio Management Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Liberty All-Star Growth Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is a diversified closed-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended  (the “Act”), and is subject to the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

ALPS Advisers, Inc. (the “Fund Manager”) evaluates and recommends portfolio managers for the assets of the Fund, and the Fund Manager or an affiliate of the Fund Manager is responsible for the day-to-day Fund administration of the Fund.

1.     Employment as a Portfolio Manager.  The Fund, being duly authorized, hereby employs CHASE INVESTMENT COUNSEL CORPORATION (“Portfolio Manager”) as a discretionary portfolio manager, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, of that portion of the Fund’s assets which the Fund Manager determines to assign to the Portfolio Manager (those assets being referred to as the “Portfolio Manager Account”).  The Fund Manager may, from time to time, allocate and reallocate the Fund’s assets among the Portfolio Manager and the other portfolio managers of the Fund’s assets.  The Portfolio Manager will be an independent contractor and will have no authority to act for or represent the Fund or the Fund Manager in any way or otherwise be deemed to be an agent of the Fund or the Fund Manager except as expressly authorized in this Agreement or in another writing by the Fund Manager and the Portfolio Manager.  The Portfolio Manager’s responsibilities for providing portfolio management services to the Fund shall be limited to the Portfolio Manager Account.

2.     Acceptance of Employment; Standard of Performance.  The Portfolio Manager accepts its employment as a discretionary portfolio manager and agrees to use its best professional judgment to make timely investment decisions for the Portfolio Manager Account in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

3.     Portfolio Management Services of Portfolio Manager.

A.            In providing portfolio management services to the Portfolio Manager Account, the Portfolio Manager shall be subject to the Fund’s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, as amended from time to time, investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund as set forth in its Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, as the same may be modified from time to time (together, the “Prospectus”), the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors, and the investment and other restrictions set forth in the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, to the supervision and control of the Board of Directors of the Fund, and to instructions from the Fund Manager. The Portfolio Manager shall not, without the prior approval of the Fund or the Fund Manager, effect any transactions that would cause the Portfolio Manager Account, treated as a separate fund, to be out of compliance with any of such restrictions or policies.  The Portfolio Manager shall not consult with any other portfolio manager of the Fund concerning transactions for the Fund in securities or other assets.

B.            As part of the services it will provide hereunder, the Portfolio Manager will:

(i)            formulate and implement a continuous investment program for the Portfolio Manager Account;

20

(ii)           take whatever steps are necessary to implement the investment program for the Portfolio Manager Account by arranging for the purchase and sale of securities and other investments;

(iii)          keep the Fund Manager and the Board of Directors of the Fund fully informed in writing on an ongoing basis, as agreed by the Fund Manager and the Portfolio Manager, of all material facts concerning the investment and reinvestment of the assets in the Portfolio Manager Account, the Portfolio Manager and its key investment personnel and operations; make regular and periodic special written reports of such additional information concerning the same as may reasonably be requested from time to time by the Fund Manager or the Directors of the Fund; attend meetings with the Fund Manager and/or Directors, as reasonably requested, to discuss the foregoing and such other matters as may be requested by the Fund Manager or Directors;

(iv)          in accordance with procedures and methods established by the Directors of the Fund, which may be amended from time to time, provide assistance in determining the fair value of all securities and other investments/assets in the Portfolio Manager Account, as necessary, and use reasonable efforts to arrange for the provision of valuation information or a price(s) from a party(ies) independent of the Portfolio Manager for each security or other investment/asset in the Portfolio Manager Account for which market prices are not readily available; and

(v)           cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to the Fund Manager, the Fund’s administrator, custodian, transfer agent and pricing agents and all other agents and representatives of the Fund and the Fund Manager; keep all such persons fully informed as to such matters as they may reasonably deem necessary to the performance of their obligations to the Fund and the Fund Manager; provide prompt responses to reasonable requests made by such persons; and maintain any appropriate interfaces with each so as to promote the efficient exchange of information.

4. Transaction Procedures.  All portfolio transactions for the Portfolio Manager Account will be consummated by payment to or delivery by the custodian of the Fund (the “Custodian”), or such depositories or agents as may be designated by the Custodian in writing, as custodian for the Fund, of all cash and/or securities due to or from the Portfolio Manager Account, and the Portfolio Manager shall not have possession or custody thereof or any responsibility or liability with respect to such custody. The Portfolio Manager shall advise and confirm in writing to the Custodian all investment orders for the Portfolio Manager Account placed by it with brokers and dealers at the time and in the manner set forth in Schedule A hereto (as amended from time to time by the Fund Manager). The Fund shall issue to the Custodian such instructions as may be appropriate in connection with the settlement of any transaction initiated by the Portfolio Manager. The Fund shall be responsible for all custodial arrangements and the payment of all custodial charges and fees, and, upon giving proper instructions to the Custodian, the Portfolio Manager shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to custodial arrangements or the acts, omissions or other conduct of the Custodian.

5. Allocation of Brokerage.  The Portfolio Manager shall have authority and discretion to select brokers and dealers to execute portfolio transactions initiated by the Portfolio Manager for the Portfolio Manager Account, and to select the markets on or in which the transaction will be executed.

A. In doing so, the Portfolio Manager’s primary responsibility shall be to seek to obtain best net price and execution for the Fund. However, this responsibility shall not obligate the Portfolio Manager to solicit competitive bids for each transaction or to seek the lowest available commission cost to the Fund, so long as the Portfolio Manager reasonably believes that the broker or dealer selected by it can be expected to obtain a “best execution” market price on the particular transaction and determines in good faith that the commission cost is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services (as defined in Section 28(e)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) provided by such broker or dealer to the Portfolio Manager viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or of the Portfolio Manager’s overall responsibilities with respect to its clients, including the Fund, as to which the Portfolio Manager exercises investment discretion, notwithstanding that the Fund may not be the direct or exclusive beneficiary of any such services or that another broker may be willing to charge the Fund a lower commission on the particular transaction.

B. Subject to the requirements of paragraph A above, the Fund Manager shall have the right to request that transactions giving rise to brokerage commissions, in an amount to be agreed upon by the Fund Manager and the

21

Portfolio Manager, shall be executed by brokers and dealers that provide brokerage or research services to the Fund Manager, or as to which an on-going relationship will be of value to the Fund in the management of its assets, which services and relationship may, but need not, be of direct benefit to the Portfolio Manager Account. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Portfolio Manager shall not be responsible under paragraph A above with respect to transactions executed through any such broker or dealer.

C. The Portfolio Manager shall not execute any portfolio transactions for the Portfolio Manager Account with a broker or dealer which is an “affiliated person” (as defined in the Act) of the Fund, the Portfolio Manager or any other portfolio manager of the Fund without the prior written approval of the Fund. The Fund Manager will provide the Portfolio Manager with a list of brokers and dealers which are “affiliated persons” of the Fund or its portfolio managers.

6. Proxies.  The Fund Manager will vote all proxies solicited by or with respect to the issuers of securities in which assets of the Portfolio Manager Account may be invested from time to time in accordance with such policies as shall be determined by the Fund Manager, and reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors.  Upon the written request of the Fund Manager, the Portfolio Manager will vote all proxies solicited by or with respect to the issuers of securities in which assets of the Portfolio Manager Account may be invested from time to time in accordance with such policies as shall be determined by the Fund Manager, and reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors.

7. Fees for Services.  The compensation of the Portfolio Manager for its services under this Agreement shall be calculated and paid by the Fund Manager in accordance with the attached Schedule C. Pursuant to the Fund Management Agreement between the Fund and the Fund Manager, the Fund Manager is solely responsible for the payment of fees to the Portfolio Manager, and the Portfolio Manager agrees to seek payment of its fees solely from the Fund Manager.

8. Other Investment Activities of Portfolio Manager.  The Fund acknowledges that the Portfolio Manager or one or more of its affiliates has investment responsibilities, renders investment advice to and performs other investment advisory services for other individuals or entities (“Client Accounts”), and that the Portfolio Manager, its affiliates or any of its or their directors, officers, agents or employees may buy, sell or trade in any securities for its or their respective accounts (“Affiliated Accounts”). Subject to the provisions of paragraph 2 hereof, the Fund agrees that the Portfolio Manager or its affiliates may give advice or exercise investment responsibility and take such other action with respect to other Client Accounts and Affiliated Accounts which may differ from the advice given or the timing or nature of action taken with respect to the Portfolio Manager Account, provided that the Portfolio Manager acts in good faith, and provided further, that it is the Portfolio Manager’s policy to allocate, within its reasonable discretion, investment opportunities to the Portfolio Manager Account over a period of time on a fair and equitable basis relative to the Client Accounts and the Affiliated Accounts, taking into account the cash position and the investment objectives and policies of the Fund and any specific investment restrictions applicable thereto. The Fund acknowledges that one or more Client Accounts and Affiliated Accounts may at any time hold, acquire, increase, decrease, dispose of or otherwise deal with positions in investments in which the Portfolio Manager Account may have an interest from time to time, whether in transactions which involve the Portfolio Manager Account or otherwise. The Portfolio Manager shall have no obligation to acquire for the Portfolio Manager Account a position in any investment which any Client Account or Affiliated Account may acquire, and the Fund shall have no first refusal, co-investment or other rights in respect of any such investment, either for the Portfolio Manager Account or otherwise.

9. Limitation of Liability.  The Portfolio Manager shall not be liable for any action taken, omitted or suffered to be taken by it in its reasonable judgment, in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement, or in accordance with (or in the absence of) specific directions or instructions from the Fund, provided, however, that such acts or omissions shall not have resulted from the Portfolio Manager’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence, a violation of the standard of care established by and applicable to the Portfolio Manager in its actions under this Agreement or breach of its duty or of its obligations hereunder (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to protect the Portfolio Manager from liability in violation of Section 17(i) of the Act).

10. Confidentiality.  Subject to the duty of the Portfolio Manager, the Fund Manager and the Fund to comply with applicable law, including any demand of any regulatory or taxing authority having jurisdiction, the parties hereto shall treat as confidential all information pertaining to the Portfolio Manager Account and the actions of the Portfolio Manager and the Fund in respect thereof.

11. Assignment.  This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment, as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(4) of the Act. The Portfolio Manager shall notify the Fund in writing sufficiently in advance of any proposed change of control, as defined in Section 2(a)(9) of the Act, as will enable the Fund to consider whether an assignment as

22

defined in Section 2(a)(4) of the Act will occur, and whether to take the steps necessary to enter into a new contract with the Portfolio Manager.

12. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Fund.  The Fund represents, warrants and agrees that:

A. The Portfolio Manager has been duly appointed to provide investment services to the Portfolio Manager Account as contemplated hereby.

B. The Fund will deliver to the Portfolio Manager a true and complete copy of its then current Prospectus as effective from time to time and such other documents governing the investment of the Portfolio Manager Account and such other information as is necessary for the Portfolio Manager to carry out its obligations under this Agreement.

13. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Portfolio Manager.  The Portfolio Manager represents, warrants and agrees that:

A. It is registered as an “investment adviser” under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (“Advisers Act”) and will continue to be so registered for as long as this Agreement remains in effect.

B. It will maintain, keep current and preserve on behalf of the Fund, in the manner required or permitted by the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the records required to be so kept by an investment adviser of the Fund in accordance with applicable law, including without limitation those identified in Schedule B (as Schedule B may be amended from time to time by the Fund Manager). The Portfolio Manager agrees that such records are the property of the Fund, and will be surrendered to the Fund promptly upon request.

C. It has adopted a written code of ethics complying with the requirements of Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act and Rule 17j-1 under the Act and will provide the Fund Manager and the Board of Directors with a copy of its code of ethics and evidence of its adoption. Within 45 days of the end of each year while this Agreement is in effect, or at any other time requested by the Fund Manager, an officer, director or general partner of the Portfolio Manager shall certify to the Fund that the Portfolio Manager has complied with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 and Rule 204A-1 during the previous year and that there has been no material violation of its code of ethics or, if such a violation has occurred, that appropriate action was taken in response to such violation.  It will promptly notify the Fund Manager of any material change to its code of ethics or material violation of its code of ethics.

D. Upon request, the Portfolio Manager will promptly supply the Fund with any information concerning the Portfolio Manager and its stockholders, partners, employees and affiliates that the Fund may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of its registration statement (as amended from time to time), prospectus and statement of additional information (as supplemented and modified from time to time), proxy material, reports and other documents required to be filed under the Act, the Securities Act of 1933, or other applicable securities laws.

E. The Portfolio Manager shall maintain and implement compliance procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure its compliance with Rule 206(4)-7 of the Advisers Act and to prevent violations of the Federal Securities Laws (as defined in Rule 38a-1 under the Act).

F. The Portfolio Manager will: (i) on the cover page of each Form 13F that the Portfolio Manager files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), check the “13F Combination Report” box and on the Form 13F Summary Page identify “ALPS Advisers, Inc.” as another manager for which the Portfolio Manager is filing the Form 13F report; (ii) within 60 days after the end of each calendar year, provide the Fund Manager with a certification that the Portfolio Manager’s Form 13F was filed with the SEC on a timely basis and included all of the securities required to be reported by the SEC; (iii) within 60 days after the end of each calendar year, provide to the Fund Manager a copy of each Form 13F, or amendment to a Form 13F filed by it during the prior four quarters; and (iv) promptly notify the Fund Manager in the event the Portfolio Manager determines that it has failed to comply with Section 13(f) in a material respect, or receives a comment letter from the SEC raising a question with respect to compliance.

G.
