    As an asset manager, we act in a fiduciary capacity for our
    clients, and fulfilling this duty is our primary corporate
    objective. We endeavor to do so by achieving investment returns
    in our strategies that exceed passive alternatives by an amount
    sufficient to justify our fee for our services. Additionally,
    our strategies can provide clients with diversification benefits
    to the degree that their correlation with respective benchmarks
    is low. The importance of the length of the measurement period
    for determining the efficacy of our efforts is amplified in a
    year like 2008.

    The financial markets collapsed last year, reflecting investor
    fear of worldwide economic decline. Credit market losses,
    primarily related to a downward spiral in real estate prices,
    prompted unprecedented actions by both government and monetary
    authorities around the globe. In time we will learn the adequacy
    of these actions, which will surely affect long-term investment
    returns.

    We use five years as a definition of long term, noting it is
    only the beginning of a length sufficient for statistical
    significance, but perhaps the end of peoples&#146; patience. For
    the five years ending December&#160;31, 2008, equity indexes had
    negative compounded returns, making this one of the worst five
    year periods in history; and the only year in the period that
    was negative was 2008.

    Fulfilling our primary corporate objective&#160;&#151; meeting
    our fiduciary duty to our clients&#160;&#151; has been very
    difficult in the current environment. For the past five-year
    period, our strategies had returns better than most of our
    competitors and generally above zero, although none provided
    absolute returns that met our goals given their respective asset
    class.

    Growing our firm&#146;s per share intrinsic value is our second
    corporate objective. Good relative results help support
    continued solid net inflows into our mutual funds, and even
    stronger growth in our institutional separate account business.
    This was almost entirely offset by market value declines, and
    thus assets under management (&#147;AUM&#148;) finished the year
    at $4.5&#160;billion versus $4.4&#160;billion a year earlier.

    Our operating profit margin (&#147;OPM&#148;), excluding our new
    venture Beacon Hill Fund&#160;Services, was 32%, down slightly
    from the year earlier, but above average for the industry. The
    rapid decline in revenues that accompanies declining market
    levels (our fees are directly proportional to our AUM) continues
    to pressure profitability. Most of the large firms in our
    industry have announced personnel cutbacks to offset this
    pressure. As a much smaller firm that expects to continue to
    grow market share, we have no plans to do so, even though the
    short term impact is further margin pressure in 2009.
    Nevertheless, we expect to have an OPM better than the industry
    average again this year.

    Last October, the company paid shareholders a special dividend
    of $10.00 per share, which was deemed 100% return of capital for
    tax purposes. The amount of that dividend exceeds the value of
    the entire company when we began this journey nine years
    ago&#160;&#151; a gratifying accomplishment. Rest assured that
    growing the intrinsic value per share will be at the top of our
    list (second only to meeting our fiduciary duty), and as
    circumstances warrant, we will return excess capital to
    shareholders.

    Last year we funded a new venture, the aforementioned Beacon
    Hill Fund&#160;Services. Beacon Hill is a logical extension of
    the fund administration services we provide to the Diamond Hill
    Funds as evidenced by $6&#160;million in fund administration
    revenue in 2008. Through Beacon Hill, we will provide
    underwriting, treasury, compliance and related services to small
    to mid-sized mutual fund companies. We believe we can develop a
    growing business in this market niche, while serving our
    proprietary fund family and without distracting from our core
    business. We have invested $2.5&#160;million in Beacon Hill and
    hope to achieve a run rate breakeven by the end of 2009. Based

    After carefully reading this Proxy Statement, indicate on the
    enclosed proxy card how you want your shares to be voted and
    sign and mail the proxy promptly in the enclosed envelope.
    Alternatively, you may vote by phone by using the control number
    identified on your proxy, or vote electronically over the
    Internet in accordance with the instructions on your proxy. The
    deadline for transmitting voting instructions electronically
    over the Internet or telephonically is 11:59&#160;p.m., Eastern
    Daylight Savings Time, on May&#160;20, 2009. The Internet and
    telephone voting procedures are designed to authenticate
    shareholders&#146; identities, to allow shareholders to give
    their voting instructions and to confirm that shareholders&#146;
    voting instructions have been properly recorded. If you vote by
    phone or over the Internet you do not need to return a proxy
    card. You should be aware that if you vote over the Internet or
    by phone, you may incur costs associated with electronic access,
    such as usage charges from Internet service providers and

    On February&#160;26, 2009, the Board established a Nominating
    Committee. Since the Company previously had no Nominating
    Committee, for past years and in determining the nominees for
    this Annual Meeting all the directors participated in the
    consideration of director nominees, with nominees recommended
    for the Board&#146;s selection by a majority of independent
    directors. All directors, other than Mr.&#160;Dillon, are
    independent under the rules and independence standards of the
    SEC and NASDAQ. The Board used certain criteria to assess
    potential directors, including significant skill and experience
    in financial services, investments, accounting, marketing,
    operations, legal matters or in other areas that are important
    to the Company&#146;s success.

    The Board has not established a formal process for identifying
    and evaluating nominees due to its desire to approach the
    nominations process according to the composition of the Board at
    the time. However, the process for identifying and evaluating
    nominees is generally as follows: In the case of an incumbent
    director whose term of office is set to expire, the Board
    reviews the director&#146;s overall service to the Company
    during his or her term, including the number of meetings
    attended, level of participation and quality of performance. In
    the case of new director candidates, the Board determines
    whether the nominee is independent and whether the new director
    must be independent for us to remain in compliance with NASDAQ
    rules. Incumbent directors will be nominated for reelection or,
    if the Board feels a new director is necessary or desirable, it
    will use its network of contacts to compile a list of potential
    candidates. The Board then meets to discuss and consider each
    candidate&#146;s qualifications, and the independent directors
    choose the nominees by majority vote.

    The Board does not currently have any specific policies
    regarding the consideration of director candidates recommended
    by shareholders and will consider shareholder recommendations
    for directors using the process and criteria set forth above.
    Now that the Board has established a standing Nominating
    Committee, this Committee will direct the Company&#146;s
    director nomination process. It is expected that certain aspects
    of this process will change, although the Nominating Committee
    has not changed anything as of the date of this Proxy Statement.
    Further, the Nominating Committee may, in its discretion, adopt
    policies in the future regarding the consideration of director
    candidates recommended by shareholders. Shareholder
    recommendations for Board candidates must be directed in writing
    to the Company at 325 John H. McConnell Boulevard,
    Suite&#160;200, Columbus, Ohio 43215, Attention: Secretary, and
    must include the candidate&#146;s name, home and business
    contact information, detailed biographical data and
    qualifications, information regarding any relationships between
    the candidate and us within the last three years, and evidence
    of the recommending person&#146;s ownership of our common shares.

    a pro-rated amount of the annual retainer. These shares were

    Given the Company&#146;s relatively small size, the relatively

    not necessary to implement, and the Company does not have, a

    especially in an industry that is not capital intensive. The
    Company is heavily dependent on talented individuals, which are
    the Company&#146;s most important resource. Attracting and

    amount of individual incentive awards is based on an assessment
    of individual performance, while the amount of the overall
    available incentive pool is based on (i)&#160;overall firm

    In addition to their annual incentive compensation, certain
    individuals were awarded options, warrants, restricted stock or
    a combination as an incentive to employment. Generally these
    awards vest over five years to promote employee retention and
    long-term employee ownership. The Company also seeks to increase
    the ownership percentage of all employees because it feels that
    will encourage all employees to act and think like owners. While
    compensation amounts differ depending upon position,
    responsibilities, performance and competitive data, the Company
    seeks to reward all employees with similar compensation
    components based on these same objectives.

    Company&#146;s primary business objective is to meet its

    long-term, five-year investment returns, with goals defined as
    rolling five-year periods in which client returns are
    sufficiently above relevant passive benchmarks, rank in the top
    quartile of similar investment strategies and absolute returns
    are sufficient for the risk associated with the asset class. The
    Company&#146;s compensation program is designed to reward
    performance that supports these objectives. The Company&#146;s
    second objective is to fulfill its fiduciary duty to
    shareholders by growing the intrinsic value of the business at
    an appropriate rate over time. To support that objective, the
    CEO and CFO are rewarded primarily on achieving fair and
    competitive operating profit margins. For those employees who
    are not a part of the investment team objectives vary but are
    consistent with rewarding individual performance that helps the

    <B><I>Competitor Compensation Data.</I></B>&#160;&#160;The
    Company does not benchmark our compensation against a defined
    peer group of companies, but instead participates in a
    comprehensive compensation survey with approximately 150 other
    investment management firms. Based on this survey, the Company
    attempts to make individual compensation competitive within the
    industry to attract and retain talent, while rewarding
    individual performance. The cash versus equity component of the
    awards are based upon an intent to increase employee ownership
    over the long-term and are biased in favor of stock grants
    versus stock options. In 2008 and 2007, stock grants were
    approximately 60% and70%, respectively, of the total incentive
    awards with the remaining amounts made in cash. Currently 100%
    of incentive awards are paid and vested on a current basis
    although the equity awards are restricted from sale for a period
    of time to further encourage long-term ownership. The Company
    believes that incentive awards related to performance in a
    particular year, or five years ended in a particular year,
    should be paid currently. This approach offers a better matching
    of the economics with performance as opposed to granting awards
    that vest in the future thus burdening future earnings with
    awards for past performance.

    The Company has no formal policy to adjust prior incentive
    awards to reflect restatement or adjustment of financial
    results. The Company believes that due to the nature of our
    business material restatements or prior period adjustments to
    operating results are highly unlikely. Individual awards made
    under the plan are based on the factors discussed above and may
    increase or decrease materially from year to year consistent
    with similar changes in the relevant factors such as
    profitability and individual performance. The Company gives no
    weight to the economic impact of prior awards in making current
    awards. Awards each year stand on their own.

    On March&#160;25, 2008, the Company entered into participation
    agreements with Messrs.&#160;Dillon and Laird under the 2006
    Performance-Based Compensation Plan. The performance period for
    these awards was the 2008 fiscal year. These awards were granted
    in accordance with Section&#160;162(m) of the Internal Revenue
    Code so amounts paid are deductible by the Company as
    performance-based compensation. The performance conditions
    applicable to these awards are discussed in the
    &#147;Compensation Discussion and Analysis&#148; above. Although
    amounts awarded under the 2006 Performance-Based Compensation
    Plan are denominated in dollars, once such amounts are earned,
    they are paid, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee,
    in both cash and in shares of the Company.</TD>

    Because the amount of the award ultimately earned is based on
    the satisfaction of performance criteria, partial satisfaction
    could result in a payment as little as $1, ranging to the
    maximum depending on the extent to which the performance goals
    are met; provided, however, that the aggregate value of the cash
    and shares awarded may not exceed the maximum $2,600,000 and
    $650,000 for Mr.&#160;Dillon and Mr.&#160;Laird, respectively,
    in fiscal 2008). The maximum is the largest amount that could
    have been earned for fiscal 2008 upon the satisfaction of all of
    the performance goals specified in the participation agreement.
    Because the amount of the award varies based upon the extent of
    satisfaction of the performance goals, there is no specified
    target amount. Each of Mr.&#160;Dillon and Mr.&#160;Laird earned
    less than the maximum amount available to him under the annual
    incentive plan for 2008.</TD>

    Shareholders are entitled to submit proposals on matters
    appropriate for shareholder action consistent with SEC rules and
    our Code of Regulations. Should a shareholder wish to have a
    proposal appear in the Proxy Statement for next year&#146;s
    annual meeting, under applicable SEC rules, the proposal must be
    received by the Company&#146;s Secretary on or before
    December&#160;10, 2009, and must otherwise comply with the
    requirements of
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">Rule&#160;14a-8</FONT>
    of the Exchange Act. If a shareholder intends to present a
    proposal at next year&#146;s annual meeting but does not intend
    to seek the inclusion of such proposal in our Proxy Statement,
    such proposal must be received by the Company prior to
    February&#160;23, 2010, or management proxies will be entitled
    to use discretionary voting authority should such proposal be
    raised without any discussion of the matter in the Proxy
    Statement. The Company&#146;s address is 325 John H. McConnell

    The SEC has implemented rules regarding the delivery of proxy
    materials (i.e., annual reports, proxy statements, proxy
    statements combined with a prospectus or any information
    statements provided to shareholders) to households. This method
    of delivery, often referred to as &#147;householding,&#148;
    would generally permit the Company to send a single annual
    report and a single proxy statement to any household at which
    two or more different shareholders reside if the Company
    believes such shareholders share the same address, unless the
    shareholder(s) have opted out of the householding process. Each
    shareholder would continue to receive a separate notice of any
    meeting of shareholders and proxy card. The householding
    procedure reduces the volume of duplicate information you
    receive and reduces expenses. The Company has instituted
    householding. If (i)&#160;you wish to receive separate annual
    reports or proxy statements, either this year or in the future,
    or (ii)&#160;members of your household receive multiple copies
    of the annual report and proxy statement and you wish to request
    householding, you may contact the Company&#146;s transfer agent,
    Continental Stock Transfer&#160;&#038; Trust&#160;Company at 17
    Battery Place, New York, New York 10004, or write to
    Mr.&#160;James Laird at 325 John H. McConnell Boulevard,

    In addition, many brokerage firms and other holders of record
    have instituted householding. If your family has one or more
    &#147;street name&#148; accounts under which our shares are
    beneficially owned, you may have received householding
    information from your broker, financial institution or other
    nominee in the past. Please contact the holder of record
    directly if you have questions, require additional copies of
    this Proxy Statement or Annual Report on
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">Form&#160;10-K</FONT>
    for the 2008 fiscal year or wish to revoke your decision to

    householding. These options are available to you at any time.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Throughout this Form 10-K, Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) may make
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 relating to such matters as anticipated
operating results, prospects for achieving the critical threshold of assets under management,
technological developments, economic trends (including interest rates and market volatility),
expected transactions and acquisitions and similar matters. The words &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148;
&#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;should,&#148; &#147;seek,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;intend&#148; and similar expressions identify
forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date thereof. While the Company believes that
the assumptions underlying its forward-looking statements are reasonable, investors are cautioned
that any of the assumptions could prove to be inaccurate and accordingly, the actual results and
experiences of the Company could differ materially from the anticipated results or other
expectations expressed by the Company in its forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause
such actual results or experiences to differ from results discussed in the forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to: the adverse effect from a decline in the securities
markets; a decline in the performance of the Company&#146;s products; changes in interest rates; a
general or prolonged downturn in the economy; changes in government policy and regulation,
including monetary policy; changes in the Company&#146;s ability to attract or retain key employees;
unforeseen costs and other effects related to legal proceedings or investigations of governmental
and self-regulatory organizations; and other risks identified from time-to-time in the Company&#146;s
other public documents on file with the SEC, including those discussed below in Item&nbsp;1.A.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>General</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company, an Ohio corporation organized in April&nbsp;1990, derives substantially all of its
consolidated revenue from investment advisory and related services provided by its wholly-owned
subsidiary Diamond Hill Capital Management, Inc. (&#147;DHCM&#148;). DHCM is a registered investment adviser
under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company sponsors, markets, and provides investment advisory and related services to various
clients including mutual funds, separate accounts, and private investment funds. The Company&#146;s
principal source of revenue is investment advisory fee income earned pursuant to investment
advisory contracts with each client. This fee income is based primarily upon the net assets of the
funds or separate accounts. The Company&#146;s investment advisory revenue depends largely on the total
value and composition of assets under management. Accordingly, fluctuations in financial markets
and in the composition of assets under management impact our revenues and results of operations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">During the first quarter of 2008, the Company incorporated two new subsidiaries, Beacon Hill Fund
Services, Inc. (&#147;BHFS&#148;) and BHIL Distributors, Inc. (&#147;BHIL&#148;) to collectively operate as Beacon
Hill. Beacon Hill will provide certain fund administration services and distribution services to
small to mid size mutual funds, including Diamond Hill Funds (the &#147;Funds&#148;).

</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">DHCM executes its investment strategies through fundamental research and valuation disciplines.
Analysts evaluate a company&#146;s prospects based upon its current business and financial position,
future growth opportunities, and management capability and strategy. The intended result is an
estimate of &#147;intrinsic value&#148;. Intrinsic value is the present value of future cash flows which the
Company estimates the investment will generate, discounted at a rate that reflects the required
return for the investment given the estimated level of risk. In other words, it is the estimated
price a minority shareholder should pay in order to achieve a satisfactory or &#147;fair&#148; return on the
investment. The estimate of intrinsic value is then compared to the current market price to
evaluate whether, in the opinion of DHCM, an attractive investment opportunity exists. A
proprietary valuation model, which takes into account projected cash flows for five years including
a &#147;terminal
value&#148; (the expected stock price in five years), assists in many of these intrinsic value
estimations. DHCM also applies an intrinsic value philosophy to the analysis of fixed income
securities.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">DHCM believes that although securities markets are competitive, pricing inefficiencies often exist
allowing for attractive investment opportunities. Furthermore, DHCM believes that investing in
securities whose market prices are significantly below DHCM&#146;s estimate of intrinsic value (or
selling short securities whose market prices are above intrinsic value) is a reliable method to
achieve above average relative returns as well as mitigate risk.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Current portfolio strategies managed include Small Cap, Small-Mid Cap, Large Cap, Select,
Long-Short, Financial Long-Short, and Strategic Income. These strategies are available on a
separately managed basis and/or through a mutual fund. The Long-Short strategy is also available
through private investment funds that are offered to accredited and qualified investors in the
United States and around the world. The Company believes its desire to grow AUM should never come
before its fiduciary obligation to clients. When portfolio strategies become too large such they
become difficult to manage, the Company will close those strategies to new clients, which may
impact the Company&#146;s ability to grow AUM. The Small Cap strategy was closed to new investors as of
December&nbsp;31, 2005 and re-opened on September&nbsp;1, 2007. The Long-Short strategy was closed to new
investors as of June&nbsp;30, 2008 and re-opened on December&nbsp;31, 2008.

</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company continues to develop institutional relationships for separately managed accounts
primarily through consultant relationships and database research screens. During 2008, the Company
added additional resources to focus on further developing its relationships with institutional
consultants. The Company has engaged a third party placement firm to assist in raising assets in
the private investment funds. Efforts by the third party placement firm were successful in 2006 and
2007, however, given the market conditions, particularly for private investment funds, in 2008 the
Company experienced significant redemptions from its private investment funds. The third party
firm earns 20% of all revenue earned each year from clients it introduced to the Company.

</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company&#146;s mutual funds, separately managed accounts, and private investment funds have five
year investment returns that the Company views as strong and believes compare very favorably to
competitors. Investment returns have been a key driver in the success the Company has achieved in
growing AUM at rates of 2%, 19%, and 142% in 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The cost of these efforts were significant, but the Company believes in future years the cost will
be proportional to the increase in revenue during 2009 and future years. There can be no assurance
that these efforts will prove successful; however, given the investment results of the Funds and
separately managed accounts, the Company believes the additional resources devoted to marketing are
warranted.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Also recognizing that the Company&#146;s primary responsibility is to investors in its Funds and its
separate account clients, the Company will continue to invest in its investment team and close
investment strategies to new investors when appropriate. In 2006, 2007, and 2008 the Company
substantially increased its equity investment team growing the team from 11 at the end of 2005 to
29 at the end of 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company believes that one of the most important characteristics exhibited by the best
investment firms is excellent investment returns for their clients over a long period of time. The
Company is pleased that in its history as an investment advisory firm it has delivered what it
believes are excellent investment returns for its clients. However, the Company is mindful that if
it fails to do so in the future, its business growth will likely be negatively impacted. There are
certain additional business risks that may prevent the Company from achieving the above growth
prospects. These risks are detailed in Item&nbsp;1A.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">During 2008, the Company organized Beacon Hill, to provide underwriting, compliance, treasury, and
other administrative services to small to mid-sized mutual fund companies. During the past two to
three years there has been a continuing consolidation in the mutual fund servicing industry,
whereby large financial services firms purchased independent mutual fund service providers. These
larger financial services firms have made the decision not to offer statutory underwriting services
to mutual funds, due to regulatory and other business conflicts. These small to mid-sized
companies are seeking independent service providers to fill the void. As a result, the Company
believes there is an opportunity in the market place to establish a business that can serve as a
mutual fund distributor and provide treasury and compliance services to small to mid-size mutual
fund companies. During 2008, Beacon Hill completed the build out of its infrastructure and began
operations. During 2009, the Company hopes Beacon Hill can grow its client base to achieve
run-rate break even by the end of the year.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Competition in the area of investment management services and mutual funds is intense, and the
Company&#146;s competitors include investment management firms, broker-dealers, banks and insurance
companies, some of whom offer various investment alternatives. Many competitors are better known
and better capitalized than the Company, offer a broader range of investment products and have more
offices, employees and sales representatives. The Company competes primarily on the basis of
investment philosophy, performance and customer service.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">DHCM is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940 (the &#147;Advisers Act&#148;) and operates in a highly regulated environment. The
Advisers Act imposes numerous obligations on registered investment advisers, including fiduciary
duties, recordkeeping requirements, operational requirements and disclosure obligations. All
Diamond Hill Funds are registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Each fund
is also required to make notice filings with all states where it is offered for sale. Virtually
all aspects of the Company&#146;s investment management business are subject to various federal and
state laws and regulations. Generally, these laws and regulations are primarily intended to
benefit shareholders of the funds and separately managed account investment clients and generally
grant supervisory agencies and bodies broad administrative powers, including the power to limit or
restrict the Company from carrying on its investment management business in the event that it fails
to comply with such laws and regulations. In such event, possible sanctions which may be imposed
include the suspension of individual employees, limitations on DHCM engaging in the investment
management business for specified periods of time, the revocation of DHCM&#146;s registration as an
investment adviser, and other censures or fines.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company is very dependent on its contractual relationships with the Funds. In the event the
advisory or administration agreements with Funds are canceled or not renewed pursuant to the terms
thereof, the Company would be materially and adversely affected. The Company considers its
relationship with the Funds and their Board of Trustees to be good, and it has no reason to believe
that these advisory or administration contracts will not be renewed in the future; however, there
is no assurance that the Funds will choose to continue their relationships with the Company. The
Company generated approximately 72%, 69% and 54% of its 2008, 2007 and 2006 revenues, respectively,
from its advisory and administrative contracts with the Funds.

</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">If the Company fails to deliver excellent performance for its clients, both in the short and long
term, it will likely experience diminished investor interest and potentially a diminished level of
AUM.

</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Substantially all revenue for the Company is calculated as percentages of AUM or is based on the
general performance of the equity securities market. A decline in securities prices or in the sale
of investment products or an increase in fund redemptions generally would reduce fee income.
Financial market declines or adverse changes in interest rates would generally negatively impact
the level of the Company&#146;s AUM and consequently its revenue and net income. A recession or other
economic or political events could also adversely impact the Company&#146;s revenue if it led to a
decreased demand for products, a higher redemption rate, or a decline in securities prices.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The recession we are experiencing could further adversely impact our revenue if it leads to a
decreased demand for investment products and services, a higher redemption rate or a further
decline in securities prices. Any further decreases in the level of our assets under management
due to securities price declines, or other factors would negatively impact our revenue and net
income.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company&#146;s success depends on highly skilled personnel, including portfolio managers, research
analysts, and management, many of whom have specialized expertise and extensive experience in the
industry. Financial services professionals are in high demand, and the Company faces significant
competition for qualified employees. With the exception of the Chief Executive Officer, key
employees do not have employment contracts, and generally can terminate their employment at any
time. The Company cannot assure that it will be able to retain or replace key personnel. In order
to retain or replace its key personnel, the Company may be required to increase compensation, which
would decrease net income. The loss of key personnel could damage the Company&#146;s reputation and make
it more difficult to retain and attract new employees and investors. Losses of assets from its
client investors would decrease its revenues and net income, possibly materially.

investment advisory services primarily based upon its investment performance. Some institutions
have proprietary products and distribution channels that make it more difficult for the Company to
compete with them. If current or potential customers decide to use one of the Company&#146;s
competitors, the Company could face a significant decline in market share, AUM, revenues, and net
income. If the Company is required to lower its fees in order to remain competitive, its net income
could be significantly reduced because some of its expenses are fixed, especially over shorter

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The following performance graph compares the total shareholder return of an investment in Diamond
Hill&#146;s Common Stock to that of the Russell Microcap<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">TM</SUP> Index, and to a peer group index
of publicly traded asset management firms for the five-year period ending on December&nbsp;31, 2008.
The graph assumes that the value of the investment in Diamond Hill&#146;s Common Stock and each index
was $100 on December&nbsp;31, 2003. Total return includes reinvestment of all dividends. According to
Russell, the Microcap<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">TM</SUP> Index makes up less than 3% of the U.S. equity market and is a
market-value-weighted index of the smallest 1,000 securities in the small-cap Russell 2000 Index
plus the next 1,000 securities. Peer Group returns are weighted by the market capitalization of
each firm at the beginning of each measurement period. The historical information set forth below
is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Diamond Hill does not make or endorse any
predictions as to future stock performance.

</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">In this section the Company discusses and analyzes the consolidated results of operations for the
past three fiscal years and other factors that may affect future financial performance. This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements, and Selected Financial Data.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company&#146;s revenue is derived primarily from investment advisory and administration fees
received from Diamond Hill Funds and investment advisory and performance incentive fees received
from separate accounts and private investment funds. Investment advisory and administration fees
paid to the Company are based on the value of the investment portfolios managed by the Company and
fluctuate with changes in the total value of the AUM. Such fees are recognized in the period that
the Company manages these assets. Performance incentive fees are generally 20% of the amount of
client annual investment performance in excess of a 5% annual return hurdle. Because performance
incentive fees are based primarily on the performance of client accounts, they can be volatile from
period to period. The Company&#146;s primary expense is employee compensation and benefits.

</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">As a percent of total 2008 revenues, investment advisory fees account for 86%, performance
incentive fees account for less than 1%, and mutual fund administration fees make up the remaining
13%. This compares to 85%, less than 1%, and 14%, respectively, for 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Investment Advisory Fees. </B>Investment advisory fees are generally calculated as a percentage of
average net AUM at various levels depending on the investment product. The Company&#146;s average
advisory fee rate for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 was 0.81% compared to 0.83% for the year
ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. Effective June&nbsp;30, 2008, the Diamond Hill Long-Short Fund, which has a
0.90% advisory fee, was closed to new investors. As a result, there was a decrease in the cash
flows into that Fund during the second half of 2008. In addition, there were cash outflows from the
Long-Short Fund during the second half of the year resulting in a decrease in assets for that Fund
of 26%. These factors contributed to the slight decrease in the average advisory fee rate for 2008
compared to 2007. The overall increase in investment advisory fees year over year was primarily
due to an increase in AUM throughout 2008. Despite the modest increase in AUM from $4.4&nbsp;billion at
December&nbsp;31, 2007 to $4.5&nbsp;billion at December&nbsp;31, 2008, average AUM for the entire year was
approximately $4.9&nbsp;billion, which was the primary driver of the increase in investment advisory
fees in 2008 compared to 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Performance Incentive Fees. </B>Performance incentive fees are generally equal to 20% of the
performance increase in client accounts after a 5% annual hurdle is achieved. The fees are
dependent on both AUM and absolute investment performance in client accounts and can be very
volatile from period to period. Incentive fee AUM totaled $378&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2008
compared to $581&nbsp;million at the end of 2007. Incentive fee revenue for both 2008 and 2007 was
relatively immaterial due to the absolute performance of the Company&#146;s incentive fee products.
While the Company&#146;s incentive fee products have performed well in 2008
relative to the broader stock market indexes they still have declined substantially on an absolute
basis. Given that most of the incentive fee assets have a high water mark and an annual absolute
return hurdle, it is unlikely the Company will earn any meaningful incentive fees until significant
positive client returns are generated or new client money is invested in the products.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Mutual Fund Administration Fees. </B>Mutual fund administration fees are calculated as a percentage of
average net assets under administration in the Diamond Hill Funds. The Company earns 0.30% on
Class&nbsp;A and Class&nbsp;C shares and 0.18% on Class&nbsp;I shares. As assets in the Funds have grown, the
Company has realized certain economies of scale; and as a result, the Company has lowered its
administration fees each of the last four years to pass on those economies of scale to fund
shareholders. Despite these fee reductions, fund administration revenues increased by $185

client accounts during 2007 generally did not exceed the required 5% annual hurdle and therefore
performance incentive fees were down 98% compared to 2006.

</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Compensation and Related Costs. </B>Employee compensation and benefits increased by $6.1&nbsp;million, or
31%, in 2008, primarily due to a 36% increase in the number of staff, long-term equity awards, and
the accelerated vesting of certain restricted stock awards.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Incentive compensation for 2008 totaled $13,000,000 an increase of $550,000 or 4% from 2007. Under
the Company&#146;s 2006 performance based compensation plan the compensation committee of the board of
directors establishes annual operating profit margin (OPM)&nbsp;targets to be used to determine the
incentive pool and officer awards. For 2008 the OPM target was approximately 35% based on actual
revenue of approximately $47&nbsp;million. Under the plan the operating results of Beacon Hill are
excluded from this determination. After consideration of a number of factors management
recommended, and the compensation committee approved, a reduction of the OPM for the year to 32.3%
which increased the incentive pool by approximately $1.3&nbsp;million and reduced the incentive awards
made to officers by 10.4%. Management felt that certain unusual expenses, particularly the impact
of accelerated vesting for non-officer restricted stock awards from 2009 to 2008, resulted in a
pool that was inadequate. The accelerated vesting increased compensation expense by approximately
$1&nbsp;million and was done in part to generate a $6.7&nbsp;million tax deduction which reduced the
company&#146;s tax liability for 2008 and also contributed towards generating sufficient negative tax
earnings and profits for 2008 such that the character of the special cash dividend paid in the
fourth quarter was 100% return of capital.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>General and Administrative. </B>General and administrative expenses decreased by $16 thousand, or 1%.
During 2007, the Company experienced a $452 thousand loss due to a trading error causing an
increase in the general and administrative expenses during that period. Excluding the trading
error, general and administrative expenses increased by $436 thousand, or 19%, period over period
to support the continued growth of the Company.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Sales and Marketing. </B>Sales and marketing expenses increased by $164 thousand, or 26%, during
2008. This increase is commensurate with the increase in investment advisory revenue and was
primarily due to increased expense related to marketing materials and additional travel related
expense incurred related to new business attained during the year.

intermediaries directly related to sales made by those parties of the Company&#146;s investment
products. 94% and 99% of this expense in 2008 and 2007, respectively, is related to client
investments in the Company&#146;s private investment funds. The remainder represents payments related
to sales in the Company&#146;s mutual fund products. The period over period increase or decrease
directly corresponds to the increase or decrease in investment advisory fees earned by the Company.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Mutual Fund Administration. </B>Mutual fund administration expenses decreased by $141 thousand during
2008. A large portion of mutual fund administration expense is calculated based on a percent of
assets under administration in the Diamond Hill Funds. Despite the increase in mutual fund AUM in
2008 compared to 2007, the decrease is attributable to a re-negotiation of certain vendor contracts
resulting in both expense reductions and a shifting of certain expense obligations directly to the
Diamond Hill Funds. Absent this contract re-negotiation, mutual fund administration expenses
generally correlate with an increase or decrease in mutual fund assets under administration.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>General and Administrative. </B>The increase in general and administrative expenses of $1.5&nbsp;million,
or 134%, resulted from general increases associated with the overall growth of the Company and an
increase in expenditures for investment research and portfolio accounting systems. Additionally,
during the third quarter of 2007 the Company incurred a $452 thousand loss related to a trading
error in a client account.

This increase was commensurate with the increase in investment advisory revenue and was primarily
due to increased expense related to marketing materials and additional travel related expense
incurred related to new business attained during the year.

</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">During 2008, Beacon Hill generated a pre-tax loss of $1.4&nbsp;million on $117 thousand in revenue as it
substantially completed its infrastructure. It is currently staffed with seven experienced
professionals and expects to receive a limited purpose broker/dealer license in the first quarter
of 2009. Beacon Hill has been actively marketing its services and has commitments from several
clients to commence services at various starting dates throughout 2009. These commitments are
annually recurring engagements; however, there is no guarantee that the associated revenue will be
realized. The Company hopes Beacon Hill will achieve a run rate breakeven by the end of 2009.

</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company&#146;s entire investment portfolio is in readily marketable securities, which provide for
cash liquidity, if needed. Investments in mutual funds are valued at their quoted current net
asset value. Investments in private investment funds and equity securities are valued
independently based on readily available market quotations. Inflation is expected to have no
material impact on the Company&#146;s performance.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the Company had working capital of approximately $24.1&nbsp;million compared to
$37.5&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2007. Working capital includes cash, securities owned and accounts
receivable, net of all liabilities. The Company has no debt and its available working capital is
expected to be sufficient to cover current expenses. The Company does not expect any material
capital expenditures during 2009.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Operating activities during 2008 provided cash flows of $17.4&nbsp;million, up $7.4&nbsp;million from 2007,
including a decrease in net income of $6.6&nbsp;million, non-cash stock-based compensation expense of
$4.3&nbsp;million, a change in unrealized gain/loss of $2.9&nbsp;million and increase in accrued liabilities
of $9.7&nbsp;million. Net cash provided in investing activities totaled $13&nbsp;million, compared to net
cash used in investing activities of $15&nbsp;million in 2007. Capital spending for property and
equipment decreased to $363 thousand in 2008, a decline of $59 thousand from 2007. Net cash used by
financing activities was $26.6&nbsp;million in 2008, compared to net cash provided by financing
activities of $7.5&nbsp;million in 2007. Substantially all of this increase in cash used by financing
activities related to the $24.4&nbsp;million dividend payment made in 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Operating activities during 2007 provided cash flows of $10&nbsp;million, down $8.1&nbsp;million from 2006,
including increased net income of $1.9&nbsp;million and non-cash stock-based compensation expense of
$1.4&nbsp;million. Net
cash used in investing activities totaled $15&nbsp;million, up just over $4&nbsp;million from 2006. The
Company&#146;s investments in mutual funds and equity securities made from its larger available cash
balances were $15.3&nbsp;million in 2007, up $4.1&nbsp;million from 2006. Decreased capital spending for
property and equipment was $304 thousand in 2007, a decline of $151 thousand from 2006. Net cash
provided by financing activities was $7.5&nbsp;million in 2007, up $6.7&nbsp;million from 2006. Substantially
all of this increase was due to common stock issued during 2007 relating to the exercise of options
and warrants.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The
net loss in the fourth quarter of 2008 is due to significant deterioration of
overall market in the fourth quarter of 2008, which caused an 18.7% decrease in AUM in the fourth
quarter of 2008 compared to third quarter 2008. This decrease in AUM had a direct correlation with
the decrease in revenue during the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to third quarter 2008 as revenue
is generated based upon AUM. In addition, the corporate investment portfolio had a net loss of $4.1
million in fourth quarter 2008, which further contributed to the decrease in net income for the
quarter ended December&nbsp;31, 2008.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The following table presents a summary of the Company&#146;s future obligations under the terms of an
operating lease and other contractual purchase obligations at December&nbsp;31, 2008. Other purchase
obligations include contractual amounts that will be due for the purchase of services to be used in
the Company&#146;s operations such as mutual fund sub-administration and portfolio accounting software.
These obligations may be cancelable at earlier times than those indicated under certain conditions
that may involve termination fees. Because these obligations are of a normal recurring nature, the
Company expects that it will fund them from future cash flows from operations. The information
presented does not include operating expenses or capital expenditures that will be committed in the
normal course of operations in 2009 and future years:

the respective client portfolio in excess of 5%. EITF Abstract Topic No.&nbsp;D-96, &#147;Accounting for
Management Fees Based on a Formula,&#148; identifies two methods by which incentive revenue may be
recorded. Under &#147;Method 1,&#148; incentive fees are recorded at the end of the contract year. Under
&#147;Method 2,&#148; incentive fees are recorded periodically and calculated as the amount that would be due
under the formula at any point in time as if the contract was terminated at that date. Management
has chosen the more conservative Method 1, in which performance fees are recorded at the end of the
contract period provided for by the contract terms.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><I>Revenue Recognition when Acting as an Agent vs. Principal. </I>The Funds have selected and
contractually engaged certain vendors to fulfill various services to benefit the Funds&#146;
shareholders or to satisfy regulatory requirements of the Funds. These services include, among
others, required fund shareholder mailings, registration fees, legal and audit fees. DHCM, in
fulfilling a portion of its role under the administration agreement with the Funds, acts as agent
to pay these obligations of the Funds. Each vendor is independently responsible for fulfillment of
the services it has been engaged to provide and negotiates fees and terms with the management and
board of trustees of the Funds. The fee that the Funds pay to DHCM is reviewed annually by the
Funds&#146; board of trustees and specifically takes into account the contractual expenses that DHCM
pays on behalf of the Funds. As a result, DHCM is not involved in the delivery or pricing of these
services and bears no risk related to these services. Consistent with EITF 99-19, revenue has been
recorded net of these Fund expenses.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company&#146;s revenues and net income are based primarily on the value of AUM. Accordingly,
declines in financial market values directly and negatively impact its investment advisory revenues
and net income.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company invests in Diamond Hill Funds, its private investment funds, and other equity
securities, which are market risk sensitive financial instruments. These investments have inherent
market risk in the form of equity price risk; that is, the potential future loss of value that
would result from a decline in their fair value. Each equity fund and its underlying net assets
are also subject to market risk, which may arise from changes in equity prices. The bond fund is
also subject to market risk which may arise from changes in equity prices, credit ratings and
interest rates. Market prices fluctuate and the amount realized upon subsequent sale may differ
significantly from the reported market value.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The table below summarizes the Company&#146;s market risks as of December&nbsp;31, 2008, and shows the
effects of a hypothetical 10% increase and decrease in equity and bond investments. The Company did
not hold any bond investments as of December&nbsp;31, 2008.

Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc.:
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. and its
subsidiaries as of December&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income,
shareholders&#146; equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December
31, 2008. We also have audited the Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting as of
December&nbsp;31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control &#150; Integrated Framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Management is
responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting, included in the accompanying financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the company&#146;s internal control over
financial reporting based on our audits.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and
whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal
control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinions.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">A company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (3)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company&#146;s assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of
December&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, Diamond Hill Investment
Group, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December&nbsp;31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control &#150;
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO).

</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the Company&#146;s
significant accounting policies:
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><U>Principles of Consolidation</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operations of the Company and DHCM.
All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Accounts receivable are recorded when they are due and are presented in the balance sheet, net of
any allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable are written off when they are determined
to be uncollectible. Any allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on the Company&#146;s
historical losses, existing conditions in the industry, and the financial stability of those
individuals or entities that owe the receivable. No allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed
necessary at December&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><U>Valuation of Investment Portfolio</U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;157 &#150; &#147;Fair Value Measurements&#148; (&#147;SFAS
157&#148;), investments held by the Company are valued based upon the definition of Level 1 inputs and
Level 2 inputs. In general, SFAS 157 defines Level 1 inputs, as fair values which use quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to
access. Level 2 inputs are defined as quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be
active for identical assets or liabilities, quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or
liabilities and inputs other than quoted prices that are directly observable or indirectly through
corroboration with observable market data. $5,923,202 and $11,262,409 in Company investments are
valued based upon Level 1 and Level 2 inputs, respectively.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The changes in market values on the investments are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of
Income as investment returns.

</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">DHCM is the managing member of Diamond Hill General Partner, LLC, the General Partner of Diamond
Hill Investment Partners, LP (&#147;DHIP&#148;) and Diamond Hill Investment Partners II, LP (&#147;DHIP II&#148;),
each a limited partnership whose underlying assets consist of marketable securities. DHCM, in its
role as the managing member of the General Partner, exerts significant influence over the
financial and operating policies of DHIP and DHIP II but does not exercise control. Therefore,
DHCM&#146;s investment in DHIP and DHIP II is accounted for using the equity method, under which DHCM&#146;s
share of the net earnings or losses from the partnership is reflected in income as earned, and
distributions received are reflected as reductions from the investment. Several board members,
officers and employees of the Company invest in DHIP and DHIP II through Diamond Hill General
Partner, LLC. These individuals receive no remuneration as a result of their personal investment
in DHIP or DHIP II. The capital of Diamond Hill General Partner, LLC is not subject to a
management fee or an incentive fee.

</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Property and equipment, consisting of computer equipment, furniture, and fixtures, is carried at
cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method
over estimated lives of three to seven years.

</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Treasury stock purchases are accounted for under the cost method. The subsequent issuances of
these shares are accounted for based on their weighted-average cost basis.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company earns substantially all of its revenue from investment advisory and fund
administration services. Mutual fund investment advisory and administration fees, calculated as a
percentage of assets under management, are recorded as revenue as services are performed. Managed
account and private investment fund clients provide for monthly or quarterly management fees, in
addition to quarterly or annual performance fees.

incentive fees. EITF Abstract Topic No.&nbsp;D-96, &#147;Accounting for Management Fees Based on a
Formula&#148;, identifies two methods by which incentive revenue may be recorded. Under &#147;Method 1&#148;,
incentive fees are recorded at the end of the contract period; under &#147;Method 2&#148;, the incentive
fees are recorded periodically and calculated as the amount that would be due under the formula at
any point in time as if the contract was terminated at that date. Management has chosen Method 1,

above methods:

under which DHCM performs certain services for each fund. These services include mutual fund
administration, accounting, transfer agency and other related functions. For performing these
services, each fund compensates DHCM a fee at an annual rate of 0.30% for Class&nbsp;A and Class&nbsp;C
 shares and 0.18% for Class&nbsp;I shares times each series&#146; average daily net assets. Effective April
30, 2008, the fee for administrative services was reduced from 0.32% to 0.30% for Class&nbsp;A and
Class&nbsp;C shares. The Funds have selected and contractually engaged certain vendors to fulfill
various services to benefit the Funds&#146; shareholders or to satisfy regulatory requirements of the
Funds. These services include, among others, required fund shareholder mailings, registration
fees, legal and audit fees. DHCM, in fulfilling a portion of its role under the administration
agreement with the Funds, acts as agent to pay these obligations of the Funds. Each vendor is
independently responsible for fulfillment of the services it has been engaged to provide and
negotiates fees and terms with the management and board of trustees of the Funds. The fee that
the Funds pay to DHCM is reviewed annually by the Funds&#146; board of trustees and specifically takes
into account the contractual expenses that DHCM pays on behalf of the Funds. As a result, DHCM is

employees, directors and consultants, and to promote the success of the Company&#146;s business. The
2005 Plan authorizes the issuance of common shares of the Company in various forms of stock or
option grants. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008 there were 509,226 shares available for issuance under the
2005 Plan. The 2005 Plan provides that the Board of Directors, or a committee appointed by the
Board, may grant awards and otherwise administer the 2005 Plan. Restricted stock grants issued
under the 2005 Plan which vest over time, are recorded as deferred compensation on grant date and
then recognized as compensation expense based on the grant date price over the vesting period of
the respective grant.

share-based payments to employees and directors, including grants of stock options, to be
recognized as expense in the income statement based on their fair values. The amount of
compensation is measured at the fair value of the options when granted, and this cost is expensed
over the required service period, which is normally the vesting period of the options. SFAS 123R
applies to the Company for options granted or modified after October&nbsp;1, 2005. SFAS 123R also
requires compensation cost to be recorded for prior option grants that vest after the date of
adoption.

in the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that contain a variety of

not contain any limits on the Company&#146;s liability and would involve future claims that may be made
against the Company that have not yet occurred. Therefore, it is not possible to estimate the
Company&#146;s potential liability under these indemnities. Further, the Company maintains insurance

evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in

the Company&#146;s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission&#146;s rules and forms, and to
ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or
submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Company&#146;s
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. There have not been any changes in the Company&#146;s internal control over financial
reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the

and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule&nbsp;13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company&#146;s internal control
over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
