Huntington Funds is proud to announce its four star funds,
Dividend Capture Fund, International Equity Fund and Rotating Markets Fund
The Huntington Dividend Capture Fund (HDCTX) has received a Four-Star Morningstar RatingTM in the Large Value Category for the overall, 3-, 5- and 10-year time periods that ended December 31, 2011 among 1,127, 1,127, 996 and 571 funds, respectively.
Kirk Mentzer, director of research, manages the Huntington Dividend Capture Fund. The Fund invests primarily in dividend-paying stocks that the advisor believes are undervalued or out of favor. Because stocks generally pay dividends on a regular quarterly schedule, the Fund's management seeks to buy stocks prior to their dividend payments and sell stocks after their dividend payments. This provides the opportunity to increase income for shareholders.
The Huntington International Equity Fund (HIETX) has received a Four-Star Morningstar RatingTM in the foreign large blend funds for the overall, 3-, 5- and 10-year time periods that ended December 31, 2011 among 737, 737, 563 and 317 funds, respectively.
Madelynn Matlock, director of international investments, manages the Huntington International Equity Fund. The Fund invests in overseas companies with dominant, recognizable brands. International investing gives you the opportunity to invest in a diversified portfolio of stocks issued by companies from more than 25 developed countries across Europe, Asia and the Americas.
The Huntington Rotating Markets Fund (HRITX) has received a Four-Star Morningstar RatingTM for the overall, 3- and 10-year time periods that ended December 31, 2011 among 1,580, 1,580 and 817 large blend funds, respectively. For the 3-year time period, the fund earned 3 stars out of 1,376 funds.
Paul Koscik, senior portfolio manager, manages Huntington Rotating Markets Fund. The Fund is designed to capture opportunities where they appear to be now. The Fund has the flexibility to "rotate" among four major market segments: large-cap, mid-cap, small-cap and global. This helps to position the Fund to potentially benefit from shifts in the global economy. Currently the fund is focused on the large-cap segment.
"Huntington Funds is managed by some of the most qualified and well respected fund managers in the industry. Their extensive level of expertise along with disciplined strategies and unique investments help position us for continued success," said Randy Bateman, chief investment officer and president of Huntington Asset Advisors.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar RatingTM based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.)
The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted-average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. Ratings are for the Trust Share class; other classes may have different performance characteristics.
You should carefully consider the investment objectives, potential risks, management fees, and charges and expenses of the Fund before investing. The Fund's prospectus contains this and other information about the Fund, and should be read carefully before investing. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
