American Beacon Large Cap Value Wins 2010 Lipper Fund Award

FORT WORTH, Texas, March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- American Beacon Advisors, an experienced provider of investment advisory services to institutional and retail markets, is pleased to announce that the American Beacon Large Cap Value Fund, AMR Class (AAGAX), has won the 2010 Lipper Fund Award for Best Fund in the Large Cap Value Funds category for the 10-year period out of 185 funds based upon risk-adjusted returns. The Fund utilizes a "manager-of-manager" investment strategy that combines the talents of four proven sub-advisors, resulting in historically low volatility and consistent returns.

The Fund has five additional share classes available for investors: Institutional (AADEX), Investor (AAGPX), Retirement (ALCRX), Y (ABLYX) and Advisor (AVASX).

"At American Beacon, we uniquely combine the investment knowledge of multiple managers within each mutual fund across our diversified offering," said Gene L. Needles Jr., President and CEO of American Beacon Advisors. "We are very pleased to be recognized for our performance in the Large Cap Value category with this Lipper Award, which testifies to how American Beacon's distinctive multi-manager approach and disciplined investment process can yield consistent long-term results."

The Large Cap Value Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and current income primarily through investments in large market capitalization U.S. stocks. The Fund's sub-advisors select stocks that, in their opinion, have above-average earnings growth potential and are also selling at a discount to the market. To determine a company's growth prospects, each sub-advisor uses proprietary methods based on a combination of internal and external research and analysis of changing economic trends.
