Tulsa, OK � February 19, 2010 -- Oklahoma-based Cavanal Hill Funds has expanded its distribution channel to include two external platforms, Pershing�s FundVest and Schwab�s Mutual Fund OneSource Service� (OneSource). The fund family seeks to increase the breadth of its distribution by making no-load funds more readily accessible to registered investment advisers throughout the United States.

Jim Huntzinger, President of Cavanal Hill Funds, said this will provide an increase to the funds� visibility in the market place. �Partnering with Schwab and Pershing provides investment advisers and their clients with an opportunity for investment in specific strategies at a lower initial investment than account minimums required for institutional investors,� Huntzinger said.

Cavanal Hill manages assets for a broad and diverse client base that includes foundations, endowments, hospitals, universities, banking institutions, Cavanal Hill governmental entities, and high net worth individuals. Strategies are offered through separately managed accounts, as well as through mutual funds in the firm�s role as investment adviser to the Cavanal Hill family of mutual funds.

Schwab OneSource users and registered advisers who custody assets on the Schwab platform now have access to the Cavanal Hill U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund (APEQX) and the Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund (APTFX) for no transaction fee to investors.
