77Q1 Exhibits

                         PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

                                  June 1, 2006

Chase Investment Counsel Corporation
300 Preston Avenue, Suite 403
Charlottesville, VA  22902-5091

Re: Portfolio Management Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

    Liberty All-Star Equity Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified closed-end
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "Act"), and is subject to the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder.

    Banc of America Investment Advisors, Inc. (the "Fund Manager") evaluates and
recommends portfolio managers for the assets of the Fund, and is responsible for
the day-to-day corporate management and Fund administration of the Fund.

    1. Employment as a Portfolio Manager. The Fund being duly authorized hereby
employs Chase Investment Counsel Corporation ("Portfolio Manager") as a
discretionary portfolio manager, on the terms and conditions set forth herein,
of that portion of the Fund's assets which the Fund Manager determines to assign
to the Portfolio Manager (those assets being referred to as the "Portfolio
Manager Account"). The Fund Manager may, from time to time, allocate and
reallocate the Fund's assets among the Portfolio Manager and the other portfolio
managers of the Fund's assets. The Portfolio Manager will be an independent
contractor and will have no authority to act for or represent the Fund or the
Fund Manager in any way or otherwise be deemed to be an agent of the Fund or the
Fund Manager except as expressly authorized in this Agreement or in another
writing by the Fund Manager and the Portfolio Manager. The Portfolio Manager's
responsibilities for providing portfolio management services to the Fund shall
be limited to the Portfolio Manager Account.

    2. Acceptance of Employment; Standard of Performance. The Portfolio Manager
accepts its employment as a discretionary portfolio manager and agrees to use
its best professional judgment to make timely investment decisions for the
Portfolio Manager Account in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

    3. Portfolio Management Services of Portfolio Manager.

A. In providing portfolio management services to the Portfolio Manager Account,
the Portfolio Manager shall be subject to the investment objectives, policies
and restrictions of the Fund as set forth in its Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information, as the same may be modified from time to time (together,
the "Prospectus"), the policies and restrictions of the Fund as determined from
time to time by the Board of Trustees, and the investment and other restrictions
set forth in the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, to the
supervision and control of the Board of Trustees of the Fund, and to
instructions from the Fund Manager. The Portfolio Manager shall not, without the
prior approval of the Fund or the Fund Manager, effect any transactions that
would cause the Portfolio Manager Account, treated as a separate fund, to be out
of compliance with any of such restrictions or policies. The Portfolio Manager
shall not consult with any other portfolio manager of the Fund concerning
transactions for the Fund in securities or other assets.

B. As part of the services it will provide hereunder, the Portfolio Manager
will:

         (i) formulate and implement a continuous investment program for the
Portfolio Manager Account;

         (ii)     take whatever steps are necessary to implement the investment
                  program for the Portfolio Manager Account by arranging for the
                  purchase and sale of securities and other investments;

         (iii)    keep the Fund Manager and the Board of Trustees of the Fund
                  fully informed in writing on an ongoing basis, as agreed by
                  the Fund Manager and the Portfolio Manager, of all material
                  facts concerning the investment and reinvestment of the assets
                  in the Portfolio Manager Account, the Portfolio Manager and
                  its key investment personnel and operations; make regular and
                  periodic special written reports of such additional
                  information concerning the same as may reasonably be requested
                  from time to time by the Fund Manager or the Trustees of the
                  Fund; attend meetings with the Fund Manager and/or Trustees,
                  as reasonably requested, to discuss the foregoing and such
                  other matters as may be requested by the Fund Manager or
                  Trustees;

         (iv)     in accordance with procedures and methods established by the
                  Trustees of the Fund, which may be amended from time to time,
                  provide assistance in determining the fair value of all
                  securities and other investments/assets in the Portfolio
                  Manager Account, as necessary, and use reasonable efforts to
                  arrange for the provision of valuation information or a
                  price(s) from a party(ies) independent of the Portfolio
                  Manager for each security or other investment/asset in the
                  Portfolio Manager Account for which market prices are not
                  readily available; and

         (v)      cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to the Fund
                  Manager, the Fund's custodian, transfer agent and pricing
                  agents and all other agents and representatives of the Fund
                  and the Fund Manager; keep all such persons fully informed as
                  to such matters as they may reasonably deem necessary to the
                  performance of their obligations to the Fund and the Fund
                  Manager; provide prompt responses to reasonable requests made
                  by such persons; and maintain any appropriate interfaces with
                  each so as to promote the efficient exchange of information.

    4. Transaction Procedures. All portfolio transactions for the Portfolio
Manager Account will be consummated by payment to or delivery by the custodian
of the Fund (the "Custodian"), or such depositories or agents as may be
designated by the Custodian in writing, as custodian for the Fund, of all cash
and/or securities due to or from the Portfolio Manager Account, and the
Portfolio Manager shall not have possession or custody thereof or any
responsibility or liability with respect to such custody. The Portfolio Manager
shall advise and confirm in writing to the Custodian all investment orders for
the Portfolio Manager Account placed by it with brokers and dealers at the time
and in the manner set forth in Schedule A hereto (as amended from time to time
by the Fund Manager). The Fund shall issue to the Custodian such instructions as
may be appropriate in connection with the settlement of any transaction
initiated by the Portfolio Manager. The Fund shall be responsible for all
custodial arrangements and the payment of all custodial charges and fees, and,
upon giving proper instructions to the Custodian, the Portfolio Manager shall
have no responsibility or liability with respect to custodial arrangements or
the acts, omissions or other conduct of the Custodian.

    5. Allocation of Brokerage. The Portfolio Manager shall have authority and
discretion to select brokers and dealers to execute portfolio transactions
initiated by the Portfolio Manager for the Portfolio Manager Account, and to
select the markets on or in which the transaction will be executed.

        A. In doing so, the Portfolio Manager's primary responsibility shall be
    to seek to obtain best net price and execution for the Fund. However, this
    responsibility shall not obligate the Portfolio Manager to solicit
    competitive bids for each transaction or to seek the lowest available
    commission cost to the Fund, so long as the Portfolio Manager reasonably
    believes that the broker or dealer selected by it can be expected to obtain
    a "best execution" market price on the particular transaction and determines
    in good faith that the commission cost is reasonable in relation to the
    value of the brokerage and research services (as defined in Section 28(e)(3)
    of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) provided by such broker or dealer to
    the Portfolio Manager viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
    or of the Portfolio Manager's overall responsibilities with respect to its
    clients, including the Fund, as to which the Portfolio Manager exercises
    investment discretion, notwithstanding that the Fund may not be the direct
    or exclusive beneficiary of any such services or that another broker may be
    willing to charge the Fund a lower commission on the particular transaction.

        B. Subject to the requirements of paragraph A above, the Fund Manager
    shall have the right to request that transactions giving rise to brokerage
    commissions, in an amount to be agreed upon by the Fund Manager and the
    Portfolio Manager, shall be executed by brokers and dealers that provide
    brokerage or research services to the Fund Manager, or as to which an
    on-going relationship will be of value to the Fund in the management of its
    assets, which services and relationship may, but need not, be of direct
    benefit to the Portfolio Manager Account. Notwithstanding any other
    provision of this Agreement, the Portfolio Manager shall not be responsible
    under paragraph A above with respect to transactions executed through any
    such broker or dealer.

        C. The Portfolio Manager shall not execute any portfolio transactions
    for the Portfolio Manager Account with a broker or dealer which is an
    "affiliated person" (as defined in the Act) of the Fund, the Portfolio
    Manager or any other portfolio manager of the Fund without the prior written
    approval of the Fund. The Fund Manager will provide the Portfolio Manager
    with a list of brokers and dealers which are "affiliated persons" of the
    Fund or its portfolio managers.

    6. Proxies. The Fund Manager will vote all proxies solicited by or with
respect to the issuers of securities in which assets of the Portfolio Manager
Account may be invested from time to time in accordance with such policies as
shall be determined by the Fund Manager. Upon the written request of the Fund
Manager, Portfolio Manager will vote all proxies solicited by or with respect to
the issuers of securities in which assets of the Portfolio Manager Account may
be invested from time to time in accordance with such policies as shall be
determined by the Fund Manager.

    7. Fees for Services. The compensation of the Portfolio Manager for its
services under this Agreement shall be calculated and paid by the Fund Manager
in accordance with the attached Schedule C. Pursuant to the Fund Management
Agreement between the Fund and the Fund Manager, the Fund Manager is solely
responsible for the payment of fees to the Portfolio Manager, and the Portfolio
Manager agrees to seek payment of its fees solely from the Fund Manager.

    8. Other Investment Activities of Portfolio Manager. The Fund acknowledges
that the Portfolio Manager or one or more of its affiliates has investment
responsibilities, renders investment advice to and performs other investment
advisory services for other individuals or entities ("Client Accounts"), and
that the Portfolio Manager, its affiliates or any of its or their directors,
officers, agents or employees may buy, sell or trade in any securities for its
or their respective accounts ("Affiliated Accounts"). Subject to the provisions
of paragraph 2 hereof, the Fund agrees that the Portfolio Manager or its
affiliates may give advice or exercise investment responsibility and take such
other action with respect to other Client Accounts and Affiliated Accounts which
may differ from the advice given or the timing or nature of action taken with
respect to the Portfolio Manager Account, provided that the Portfolio Manager
acts in good faith, and provided further, that it is the Portfolio Manager's
policy to allocate, within its reasonable discretion, investment opportunities
to the Portfolio Manager Account over a period of time on a fair and equitable
basis relative to the Client Accounts and the Affiliated Accounts, taking into
account the cash position and the investment objectives and policies of the Fund
and any specific investment restrictions applicable thereto. The Fund
acknowledges that one or more Client Accounts and Affiliated Accounts may at any
time hold, acquire, increase, decrease, dispose of or otherwise deal with
positions in investments in which the Portfolio Manager Account may have an
interest from time to time, whether in transactions which involve the Portfolio
Manager Account or otherwise. The Portfolio Manager shall have no obligation to
acquire for the Portfolio Manager Account a position in any investment which any
Client Account or Affiliated Account may acquire, and the Fund shall have no
first refusal, co-investment or other rights in respect of any such investment,
either for the Portfolio Manager Account or otherwise.

    9. Limitation of Liability. The Portfolio Manager shall not be liable for
any action taken, omitted or suffered to be taken by it in its reasonable
judgment, in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within
the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement, or in
accordance with (or in the absence of) specific directions or instructions from
the Fund, provided, however, that such acts or omissions shall not have resulted
from the Portfolio Manager's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence,
a violation of the standard of care established by and applicable to the
Portfolio Manager in its actions under this Agreement or breach of its duty or
of its obligations hereunder (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be
construed to protect the Portfolio Manager from liability in violation of
Section 17(i) of the Act).

    10. Confidentiality. Subject to the duty of the Portfolio Manager, the Fund
Manager and the Fund to comply with applicable law, including any demand of any
regulatory or taxing authority having jurisdiction, the parties hereto shall
treat as confidential all information pertaining to the Portfolio Manager
Account and the actions of the Portfolio Manager and the Fund in respect
thereof.

    11. Assignment. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of
its assignment, as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(4) of the Act. The
Portfolio Manager shall notify the Fund in writing sufficiently in advance of
any proposed change of control, as defined in Section 2(a)(9) of the Act, as
will enable the Fund to consider whether an assignment as defined in Section
2(a)(4) of the Act will occur, and whether to take the steps necessary to enter
into a new contract with the Portfolio Manager.

    12. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Fund. The Fund
represents, warrants and agrees that:

        A. The Portfolio Manager has been duly appointed to provide investment
    services to the Portfolio Manager Account as contemplated hereby.

        B. The Fund will deliver to the Portfolio Manager a true and complete
    copy of its then current Prospectus as effective from time to time and such
    other documents governing the investment of the Fund Account and such other
    information as is necessary for the Portfolio Manager to carry out its
    obligations under this Agreement.

    13. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Portfolio Manager. The
Portfolio Manager represents, warrants and agrees that:

        A. It is registered as an "investment adviser" under the Investment
    Advisers Act of 1940, as amended ("Advisers Act").

        B. It will maintain, keep current and preserve on behalf of the Fund, in
    the manner required or permitted by the Act and the rules and regulations
    thereunder, the records required to be so kept by an investment adviser of
    the Fund in accordance with applicable law, including without limitation
    those identified in Schedule B (as Schedule B may be amended from time to
    time by the Fund Manager). The Portfolio Manager agrees that such records
    are the property of the Fund, and will be surrendered to the Fund promptly
    upon request.

        C. It has adopted a written code of ethics complying with the
    requirements of Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act and Rule 17j-1 under the
    Act and will provide the Fund Manager and the Board of Trustees with a copy
    of its code of ethics and evidence of its adoption. Within 45 days of the
    end of each year while this Agreement is in effect, or at any other time
    requested by the Fund Manager, an officer, director or general partner of
    the Portfolio Manager shall certify to the Fund that the Portfolio Manager
    has complied with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 and Rule 204A-1 during the
    previous year and that there has been no violation of its code of ethics or,
    if such a violation has occurred, that appropriate action was taken in
    response to such violation. It will promptly notify the Fund Manager of any
    material change to its code of ethics or material violation of its code of
    ethics.

        D. Upon request, the Portfolio Manager will promptly supply the Fund
    with any information concerning the Portfolio Manager and its stockholders,
    partners, employees and affiliates that the Fund may reasonably request in
    connection with the preparation of its registration statement (as amended
    from time to time), prospectus and statement of additional information (as
    supplemented and modified from time to time), proxy material, reports and
    other documents required to be filed under the Act, the Securities Act of
    1933, or other applicable securities laws.

        E. Reference is hereby made to the Declaration of Trust dated August 20,
    1986 establishing the Fund, a copy of which has been filed with the
    Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and elsewhere as required by
    law, and to any and all amendments thereto so filed or hereafter filed. The
    name Liberty All-Star Equity Fund refers to the Trustees under said
    Declaration of Trust, as Trustees and not personally, and no Trustee,
    shareholder, officer, agent or employee of the Fund shall be held to any
    personal liability hereunder or in connection with the affairs of the Fund,
    but only the trust estate under said Declaration of Trust is liable under
    this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither
    the Portfolio Manager nor any of its officers, directors, partners,
    shareholders, agents or employees shall, under any circumstances, have
    recourse or cause or willingly permit recourse to be had directly or
    indirectly to any personal, statutory, or other liability of any
    shareholder, Trustee, officer, agent or employee of the Fund or of any
    successor of the Fund, whether such liability now exists or is hereafter
    incurred for claims against the trust estate, but shall look for payment
    solely to said trust estate, or the assets of such successor of the Fund.

F.  The Portfolio Manager shall maintain and implement compliance procedures
    that are reasonably designed to ensure its compliance with Rule 206(4)-7 of
    the Advisers Act and to prevent violations of the Federal Securities Laws
    (as defined in Rule 38a-1 under the Act).

        G.The Portfolio Manager will: (i) on the cover page of each Form 13F
    that the Portfolio Manager files with the Securities and Exchange Commission
    (the "SEC"), check the "13F Combination Report" box and on the Form 13F
    Summary Page identify "Banc of America Investment Advisors, Inc." as another
    manager for which the Portfolio Manager is filing the From 13F report; (ii)
    within 60 days after the end of each calendar year, provide the Fund Manager
    with a certification that the Portfolio Manager's Form 13F was filed with
    the SEC on a timely basis and included all of the securities required to be
    reported by the SEC; (iii) within 60 days after the end of each calendar
    year, provide to the Fund Manager a copy of each Form 13F, or amendment to a
    Form 13F filed by it during the prior four quarters; and (iv) promptly
    notify the Fund Manager in the event the Portfolio Manager determines that
    it has failed to comply with Section 13(f) in a material respect, or
    receives a comment letter from the SEC raising a question with respect to
    compliance.

        H.The Portfolio Manager has adopted written compliance policies and
    procedures reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Advisers Act and
    the rules promulgated thereunder and the Portfolio Manager agrees to
    provide: (a) from time to time, a copy and/or summary of such compliance
    policies and procedures and an accompanying certification certifying that
    the Portfolio Manager's compliance policies and procedures comply with the
    Advisers Act; (b) a report of the annual review determining the adequacy and
    effectiveness of the Portfolio Manager's compliance policies and procedures;
    and (c) the name of the Portfolio Manager's Chief Compliance Officer to act
    as a liaison for compliance matters that may arise between the Fund and the
    Portfolio Manager.

        I. The Portfolio Manager will notify the Fund and the Fund Manager of
    any assignment of this Agreement or change of control of the Portfolio
    Manager, as applicable, and any changes in the key personnel who are either
    the portfolio manager(s) of the Portfolio Manager Account or senior
    management of the Portfolio Manager, in each case prior to or promptly
    after, such change. The Portfolio Manager agrees to bear all reasonable
    expenses of the Fund, if any, arising out of an assignment or change in
    control.

        J. The Portfolio Manager agrees to maintain an appropriate level of
    errors and omissions or professional liability insurance coverage.

    14. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended at any time, but only by
written agreement among the Portfolio Manager, the Fund Manager and the Fund,
which amendment, other than amendments to Schedules A, B and C, is subject to
the approval of the Board of Trustees and the shareholders of the Fund as and to
the extent required by the Act, the rules thereunder or exemptive relief granted
by the SEC, provided that Schedules A and B may be amended by the Fund Manager
without the written agreement of the Fund or the Portfolio Manager.

    15. Effective Date; Term. This Agreement shall continue until July 31, 2007
and from year to year thereafter provided such continuance is specifically
approved at least annually by (i) the Fund's Board of Trustees or (ii) a vote of
a "majority" (as defined in the Act) of the Fund's outstanding voting
securities, provided that in either event such continuance is also approved by a
majority of the Board of Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined
in the Act) of any party to this Agreement, by vote cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on such approval and provided further that, in
accordance with the conditions of the application of the Fund and Fund Manager
for an exemption from 15(a) of the Act (Rel. Nos. IC 19436 and 19491), the
continuance of this Agreement shall be subject to approval by such "majority" of
the Fund's outstanding voting securities at the regularly scheduled annual
meeting of shareholders of the Fund next following the date of this Agreement.
The aforesaid requirement that continuance of this Agreement be "specifically
approved at least annually" shall be construed in a manner consistent with the
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

    16. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by any party,
without penalty, immediately upon written notice to the other parties in the
event of a breach of any provision thereof by a party so notified, or otherwise
upon not less than thirty (30) days' written notice to the Portfolio Manager in
the case of termination by the Fund or the Fund Manager, or ninety (90) days'
written notice to the Fund and the Fund Manager in the case of termination by
the Portfolio Manager, but any such termination shall not affect the status,
obligations or liabilities of any party hereto to the other parties.

    17. Applicable Law. To the extent that state law is not preempted by the
provisions of any law of the United States heretofore or hereafter enacted, as
the same may be amended from time to time, this Agreement shall be administered,
construed and enforced according to the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.

    18. Severability; Counterparts. If any term or condition of this Agreement
shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent or in any application, then the
remainder of this Agreement, and such term or condition except to such extent or
in such application, shall not be affected thereby, and each and every term and
condition of this Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent
and in the broadest application permitted by law. This Agreement may be executed
in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which
together will be deemed to be one and the same agreement.

    19. Use of Name. The Portfolio Manager agrees and acknowledges that the Fund
Manager is the sole owner of the names and marks "Liberty All-Star" and
"All-Star", and that all use of any designation comprised in whole or in part of
these names and marks shall inure to the benefit of the Fund Manager. Except as
used to identify the Fund to third parties as a client, the use by the Portfolio
Manager on its own behalf of such marks in any advertisement or sales literature
or other materials promoting the Portfolio Manager shall be with the prior
written consent of the Fund Manager. The Portfolio Manager shall not, without
the consent of the Fund Manager, make representations regarding the Fund or the
Fund Manager in any disclosure document, advertisement or sales literature or
other materials promoting the Portfolio Manager. Consent by the Fund Manager
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon termination of this Agreement for any
reason, the Portfolio Manager shall cease any and all use of these marks as soon
as reasonably practicable.
