Two "Newest" Value Line Funds to Reach 20-Year Anniversary Milestone in 2013

NEW YORK, June 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Value Line Funds, a mutual fund company comprised of nine funds with assets exceeding $2 billion, announced that its two newest funds will celebrate their 20-year anniversary this summer. The highly-regarded Value Line Asset Allocation Fund (Ticker: VLAAX) and the Value Line Small Cap Opportunities Fund (Ticker: VLEOX) are relative newcomers to the Value Line Funds, which commenced operations in 1950.

"In a mutual fund industry where a new product launch is commonplace and often represents a flavor of the month offering, Value Line Funds stands out as a fund company that has stood the test of time. Our core funds have persevered through both bull and bear markets," said Mitchell Appel, president, Value Line Funds. "Both the Value Line Asset Allocation Fund and Value Line Small Cap Opportunities Fund are compelling investment options and we are proud of each fund's favorable risk/reward profile. As a firm, we believe that quality of product is more important than quantity of product. We enjoy our position as an asset manager specializing in core funds and are pleased that our current fund line-up is highly-regarded by outside ratings services such as Morningstar and Lipper."

Several of the Value Line Funds are found on firm-wide recommended lists including firms such as Schwab and Fidelity, where Value Line funds are available both through advisors and directly to retail clients.

Over the past year, Value Line Funds merged the former Value Line NY Tax Exempt Fund into the Value Line Tax Exempt Fund (Ticker: VLHYX) and merged its money market fund into a Reich & Tang money market fund. Additionally, the Value Line Emerging Opportunities Fund was renamed the Value Line Small Cap Opportunities Fund (Ticker: VLEOX) and the Value Line Aggressive Income Trust became the Value Line Core Bond Fund (Ticker: VAGIX). Most recently in March 2013, the Value Line U.S. Government Securities Fund merged into the Value Line Core Bond Fund (Ticker: VAGIX).
