Brinker Capital Posts 25% Increase in Assets under Management; Record Sales Make 2005 a Banner Year.

BERWYN, Pa. -- Brinker Capital, a leading independent provider of managed account and mutual fund services, today announced it had record-breaking sales in 2005, increasing the firm's assets under management by 25% to a new high of $5.8 billion. Assets under management have more than doubled over the past three years.

"Brinker's diverse investment programs continue to gain popularity among broker-dealers and investment advisors," said Lee Dolan, Principal and National Sales Director of Brinker Capital. "Because we have no affiliation with any investment management firm, our interests are aligned with advisors and the investors they serve." Brinker Capital serves financial advisors and their clients by providing the highest quality program development, investment manager due diligence, asset allocation, portfolio construction and client communication services.

In 2005, Brinker saw significant sales increases in both its mutual fund and separately managed account programs.

The firm's Destinations program offers six managed mutual fund portfolios, ranging on the risk-return scale from capital preservation to aggressive growth. Each portfolio is implemented with a group of mutual funds selected through Brinker's due diligence process. Destinations is now also available in 401(k)s offered through the recently introduced Brinker Retirement Plan Services program.

Destinations has an eleven-year performance history, offering advisors a tested investment offering. As Mr. Dolan explains, "This program has consistently delivered solid returns, even in mediocre markets."

Brinker's Core Asset Manager program builds separately managed portfolios offering 70 different investment styles. The fifty managers in this program are also subject to Brinker's due diligence screening process. The firm is a recognized leader in separately managed accounts, with its Chairman and CEO, Chuck Widger, nominated in 2005 as "SMA Player of the Year" by Institutional Investor's "Fund Marketing Alert."

"With the momentum built in 2005, our forecasts indicate another break-through year in 2006," said Mr. Dolan. He credits the company's independence, objectivity, innovation and integrity as the key drivers of its growth.
