             The 
              organising committee of the Bermuda Bridge Federation would like 
              to thank our sponsor, Orbis Investment Management Limited, 
              for enabling us to host the world's premier bridge event.  
                
              Orbis has won numerous awards and a world-wide reputation 
              for its innovative "no load" mutual funds. These include 
              the Orbis Global Equity Fund which was awarded the highest possible 
              rating of frAAA by Standard & Poor's Fund Research. Only five 
              other fund managers offer global equity funds which have achieved 
              this coveted ranking from S&P. Most recently, the Orbis Japan 
              Equity (Yen) Fund was the top performing fund out of 146 offshore 
              Japanese equity funds tracked by Standard & Poor's Micropal 
              in 1998.  
                
              The experienced Orbis team in Bermuda manages approximately 
              US$500 million and receives investment research from an office in 
              London. The Orbis Funds are readily accessible, with no load, no 
              transaction costs, weekly subscription or redemption and a minimum 
              investment amount of just US$50,000. The result is that Orbis serves 
              a cross section of investors ranging from major financial institutions 
              to individuals.
