FOR THE RECORD - April 14, 2004

Strong Growth Fund -- An article in Monday’s Business section about stock mutual funds involved in recent trading investigations gave incorrect performance comparison data regarding the Strong Growth Fund. The large-cap growth fund category actually gained an average of 1.4% in the first quarter, not the 3% stated, according to Morningstar Inc., so Strong Growth Fund’s 2.2% gain outperformed the category average rather than lagging behind it. In the sampling of 16 funds, 10 trailed their category averages, rather than 11 as stated.
