AMENDMENT TO CUSTODIAN AGREEMENT

This Amendment to the Custodian Agreement is dated as of April 23, 2006 by and between U.S. Global Accolade Funds, a Massachusetts business trust, on behalf of each of the portfolios listed on Appendix C to the Custodian Agreement (the “Fund”) and attached hereto and Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of New York (“BBH”) (the Fund and BBH collectively known as the “Parties”).

Whereas pursuant to a Custodian Agreement dated as of November 1, 1997, by and between the Fund and BBH, as amended to date (the “Agreement”) the latter has been appointed (i) custodian for the purpose of holding foreign securities, cash and cash equivalents outside of the United States, (ii) administrator, and (iii) fund accounting agent;

Whereas the Parties have agreed to make certain modifications to the Agreement in order to update and amend the administrative services to be provided by BBH;

Now therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the parties hereby agree to amend the Agreement as follows:

III. Amendment to the Agreement

1. The Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the second paragraph of Section 8.5 in its entirety and substituting therefor with the following:

          “In computing the net asset value, the Custodian may rely upon any information furnished by Proper Instructions, including without limitation any information (1) as to accrual of liabilities of the Fund and as to liabilities of the Fund not appearing on the books of account kept by the Custodian, (2) as to the existence, status and proper treatment of reserves, if any, authorized by the Fund, (3) as to the sources of quotations which BBH was authorized to rely upon in computing the net asset value, including those listed in Appendix B, (4) as to the fair value to be assigned to any securities or other property for which price quotations are not readily available, and (5) as to the sources of information with respect to “corporate actions” affecting portfolio securities of the Fund, which sources BBH in its reasonable judgment shall have deemed appropriate for such information. (Information as to “corporate actions” shall include information as to dividends, distributions, stock splits, stock dividends, rights offerings, conversions, exchanges, recapitalizations, mergers, redemptions, calls, maturity dates and similar transactions, including the ex- and record dates and the amounts or other terms thereof.) The Fund may instruct the Custodian to utilize a particular source for the valuation of a specific Security or other Property and the Custodian shall be protected in utilizing the valuation provided by such source without further inquiry (save for its usual and customary automated review of price disparities) in order to effect calculation of the Fund’s net asset value. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, provided the Custodian shall perform its duties under Sections 8.6(3) and 8.6(6) with reasonable care and diligence, the Custodian shall not be responsible for the failure of the Fund or the Investment Adviser to provide the Custodian with Proper Instructions regarding liabilities which ought to be included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value.”

2. The Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Section 8.6 in its entirety and substituting therefor with the following:

“8.6 Appointment as Administrator.
