The Baird Aggregate Bond Fund Investor Class (BAGSX) has been named to the Schwab Mutual Fund OneSource Select List® for the third quarter of 2007. The Select List is a list of funds that have passed a rigorous screening for performance, risk and expenses by the Schwab Center for Financial Research all with no loads and no transaction fees. The Select List is provided for informational purposes and should not be considered an individualized recommendation. Schwab produces the Select List quarterly to help investors wade through the vast number of funds available through the Schwab Mutual Fund OneSource® service and identify funds that might be appropriate for their portfolios.

It is an honor to be included on this well-regarded select list of funds. Baird Aggregate Bond Fund joins only four other actively managed intermediate-term bond mutual funds on the current Schwab Mutual Fund OneSource Select List. Said Co-Manager Mary Ellen Stanek, “It is an honor to be included on this well-regarded select list of funds.”
