EVANSTON, Ill. -- Martin Investment Management, LLC is proud to announce several recent awards for our firm's short, mid and long-term investment performances.

We would also like to announce that our assets under management have exceeded $250 million as of June 2012.

Tortue Capital[TM], Martin Investment Management, LLC's international strategy, received a PSN "Top Gun" ranking for one year ending June 30, 2012 in their EAFE (international, developed markets) category.

Earlier this year Informa Investment Solutions's PSN database named Martin Investment Management, LLC a "Top Guns Manager of the Decade" for our "Best Ideas" Growth With A Value Discipline," for the period ending December 31, 2011 in their Large Growth Universe. The firm is one of the top ten performing managers in the Large Growth Universe category and was recognized out of 252 firms and 347 products/strategies.

In acknowledging these achievements, Sandra Martin, Managing Director, commented, "We are very pleased to have been able to perform so well over in such challenging environments and are very honored by this recognition and to learn that we are one of the top managers in our category." Patrick Martin said, "Over time an investment strategy that focuses on preservation of capital in the market downturns and keeps up well in the more rationally priced upturns should win out over competing strategies with less emphasis on quality and valuation." Mary Ellen Zellerbach added, "We are very honored by this recognition that we have received. We appreciate the support and confidence of both our new and existing clients."

It should be noted that these rankings and past performance are not indicative of future performance.
