Fund Objective To seek long-term capital appreciation through investment primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities.
Fund Strategy Multi-managed fund that allocates its portfolio assets on an approximately equal basis among several independent investment organizations (currently three in number) having different investment styles and/or strategies recommended and monitored by ALPS Advisers, Inc., the Fund's investment adviser.
Distribution Policy Liberty All-Star Growth Fund, Inc.'s current policy, in effect since 1997, is to pay distributions on its common shares totaling approximately 10 percent of its net asset value per year, payable in four quarterly installments of 2.5% of the Fund's net asset value at the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the Friday prior to each quarterly declaration date.

The fixed distributions are not related to the amount of the Fund's net investment income or net realized capital gains or losses and may be taxed as ordinary income up to the amount of the Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits.

If, for any calendar year, the total distributions required by the 10 percent pay-out policy exceed the Fund's net investment income and net realized capital gains, the excess will be generally treated as non-taxable return of capital, reducing the shareholder's adjusted basis in his or her shares.

If the Fund's net investment income and net realized capital gains for any year exceed the amount required to be distributed under the 10 percent pay-out policy, the Fund may, in its discretion, retain and not distribute net realized capital gains and pay income tax thereon to the extent of such excess.
