series named Keeley Mid Cap Value Fund ("KMCVF") and a series named Keeley All

assets of the Fund and KFI, the total net assets of the Fund, KMCVF and KACVF,
the types of portfolios maintained by KSCVF and KFI, the persons covered, the
amount of the premium allocated to KFI and other relevant factors, and has also
considered the possibility that the Fund's premium cost on renewal may be
decreased as a result of a joint bond; and
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the officers of the KSCVF are hereby
authorized to renew the blanket bond in the amount of $2,500,000 from National
Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA and that the appropriate officers
of the Fund are hereby authorized to increase the amount of the bond as may be
necessary to satisfy the requirements of Rule 17g-1(d) under the Investment
Company Act of 1940; and
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the amount of the fidelity bond coverage is approved
after consideration of all factors deemed relevant by the Board, including, but
not limited to, existing and projected value of the aggregate assets of the
Funds to which any covered person may have access, the estimated amount of the
premium for such bond, the type and terms of the arrangements made for the
custody and safekeeping of such assets and the nature of the securities in the
Funds' investment portfolios.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Joint Insurance Agreement in the form attached
hereto is hereby approved, and the appropriate officers are authorized to
