TWEEDY, BROWNE FUND INC.
3rd Quarter 2016

Global equity markets continued to gain strength in the third quarter off their Brexit lows back in late
June, shrugging off worries about the impact of negative interest rates, anemic global growth, currency
volatility, and pre-election jitters. Despite continuing to carry above-average cash reserves, the Tweedy,
Browne Funds also produced solid absolute returns in this buoyant environment, and three out of our four
Funds are besting their benchmark indices year-to-date.

The performance data quoted herein represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Investment
return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth
more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
Please visit www.tweedy.com to obtain performance data that is current to the most recent month-end.
* Prior to January 1, 2015, the Adviser had contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee and/or to reimburse
expenses of the Global Value Fund II Currency Unhedged to the extent necessary to maintain the total annual fund
operating expenses (excluding fees and expenses from investments in other investment companies, brokerage, interest, taxes
and extraordinary expenses (excluded expenses)) at no more than 1.37%. This arrangement terminated on December 31,
2014. The Global Value Fund II Currency Unhedged has agreed, during the two-year period following any waiver or
reimbursement by the Adviser, to repay such amount to the extent that, after giving effect to such repayment, the Funds
adjusted total annual fund operating expenses, not including any excluded expenses, would not exceed 1.37% on an
annualized basis. There are no longer any waivers or reimbursements subject to repayment by the Fund. The performance
data shown above would have been lower had certain fees and expenses not been waived and/or reimbursed through
December 31, 2014.
1 of 13
3 rd Quarter 2016
The Value Funds and Worldwide High Dividend Yield Value Funds performance data shown above would have been lower
had certain fees and expenses not been waived and/or reimbursed from December 8, 1993 through March 31, 1999 (for the
Value Fund) and from September 5, 2007 through December 31, 2013 (for the Worldwide High Dividend Yield Value Fund).
The Funds do not impose any front-end or deferred sales charges. However, the Global Value Fund, Global Value
Fund II Currency Unhedged and Worldwide High Dividend Yield Value Fund impose a 2% redemption fee on
redemption proceeds for redemptions or exchanges made less than 15 days after purchase. Performance data does
not reflect the deduction of the redemption fee, and, if reflected, the redemption fee would reduce any performance
data quoted for periods of 14 days or less. The expense ratios shown above reflect the inclusion of acquired fund fees
and expenses (i.e., the fees and expenses attributable to investing cash balances in money market funds) and may
differ from those shown in the Funds' financial statements.
Please note that the individual companies discussed herein represent holdings in one or more of our Funds, but are not
necessarily held in all four of our Funds. Please refer to footnotes on page 12 for the Funds respective holdings in each of
these companies.
Leading the advance during the quarter were the Funds financial, technology and industrial holdings,
including strong returns from companies such as HSBC, Standard Chartered, National Bank of Canada, CNP
Assurances, Munich Re, Zurich Insurance, Cisco, Alphabet (Google), IBM, Siemens, Safran, and Linde,
which announced that it was in discussions to combine with Praxair, a merger that would create the worlds
largest supplier of industrial gas. As we write, the prospective merger appears to be off, and it remains to be
seen if the two companies will re-engage. The Funds portfolios also benefitted from their overweighting in
UK-based companies, which rallied aggressively off their Brexit lows, catalyzed in part by the collapse of the
British Pound. We also had a nice bounce in G4S, and continued strong results in ABB, Teleperformance,
and the Daily Mail.
In contrast, the portfolios oil & gas and pharmaceutical holdings experienced declines in their per share
prices during the quarter although their underlying businesses for the most part continued to make financial
progress. In a surprise to the energy sector, late in September, OPEC announced that it would consider
production cuts at its next meeting. That is a significant change in thinking on OPECs part and helped to
move oil prices and energy related stocks higher around quarter end. They have continued to gain
momentum in October. The market prices of our pharmaceutical holdings, on the other hand, remain under
pressure as politicians continue to attack high drug prices on the eve of our elections here in the US.
With the markets rather strong move forward during the quarter, bargain hunting was constrained, and
portfolio activity in our Fund portfolios was very modest. Sales and cut backs in existing positions outweighed new purchases and additions. While there were no material changes to our Fund portfolios, we did
establish two new positions in smaller capitalization Asian companies: a Japanese manufacturer of power
switchboards; and a South Korean holding company with subsidiaries that manufacture auto parts,
motorcycles and industrial equipment. We also added modestly to our holdings of AGCO, the global farm
equipment manufacturer. In one or more of the Funds we sold shares of Daegu, the Korean department
store, and Philip Morris, and trimmed our positions in Hengdeli, T. Hasegawa, Teleperformance, Henkel, and
Halliburton.
2 of 13
3 rd Quarter 2016
While our Fund portfolios continue to trade for the most part at reasonable to full valuations, we believe
they are still at modest discounts from the overall market. Cash reserves in our Funds have come down at the
margin over the last year as market volatility increased, and now range from 8% in the Worldwide High
Dividend Yield Value Fund to 17% in our Global Value Fund.
Despite growing macroeconomic uncertainty, stemming from interest rates, oil prices, terrorist activity,
the Syrian civil war, an adventuresome Russia, volatile currencies, elections, and continued sluggish underlying
growth, investors continue to prefer equities over low-to-negative yielding fixed income instruments. As a
result, equity valuations remain high in virtually all equity oriented asset classes, in our view, and bargain
hunting continues to be challenging for price disciplined investors.
Thank you for investing with us and for your continued confidence.

The performance shown above represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Investment return and
principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their
original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit www.tweedy.com to
obtain performance data which is current to the most recent month end.
* The Fund does not impose any front-end or deferred sales charges. However, a 2% redemption fee is imposed on redemption
proceeds for redemptions or exchanges made less than 15 days after purchase. Performance data does not reflect the deduction
of the redemption fee, and if reflected, the redemption fee would reduce any performance data quoted for periods of 14 days or
less. The expense ratios shown above reflect the inclusion of acquired fund fees and expenses (i.e., the fees and expenses
attributable to investing cash balances in money market funds) and may differ from those shown in the Funds financial
statements.
Index Descriptions
1 The inception date for the Fund was June 15, 1993. Prior to 2004, information with respect to the MSCI EAFE Index was available at month end only;
therefore, the closest month end to the inception date of the Fund, May 31, 1993, was used.
2 The MSCI EAFE Index is an unmanaged, free float-adjusted capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance
of developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The MSCI EAFE Index (Hedged to US$) consists of the results of the MSCI EAFE Index 100%
hedged back into U.S. dollars and accounts for interest differentials in forward currency exchange rates. The MSCI EAFE Index (in US$) reflects the
return of the MSCI EAFE Index for a U.S. dollar investor. Index results are inclusive of dividends and net of foreign withholding taxes. Index figures do
not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.
3 Morningstar Foreign Stock Fund Average: Average returns of all mutual funds in the Morningstar universe that have 90% or more of their assets
invested in non-U.S. stocks. These funds may or may not be hedged to the U.S. dollar, which will affect reported returns.

* Prior to January 1, 2015, the Adviser had contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee and/or to reimburse expenses of the
Global Value Fund II Currency Unhedged to the extent necessary to maintain the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding fees
and expenses from investments in other investment companies, brokerage, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses) at no more than
1.37%. This arrangement terminated on December 31, 2014. In this arrangement, the Global Value Fund II Currency Unhedged has
agreed, during the two-year period following any waiver or reimbursement by the Adviser, to repay such amount to the extent that after
giving effect to such repayment the Funds adjusted total annual fund operating expenses would not exceed 1.37% on an annualized basis.
There are no longer any waivers or reimbursements subject to repayment by the Fund. The performance data shown above would have
been lower had fees and expenses not been waived and/or reimbursed from October 26, 2009 through December 31, 2014.
The Fund does not impose any front-end or deferred sales charges. However, a 2% redemption fee is imposed on redemption
proceeds for redemptions or exchanges made less than 15 days after purchase . Performance data does not reflect the deduction
of the redemption fee, and if reflected, the redemption fee would reduce the performance data quoted for periods of 14 days or
less. The expense ratios shown above reflect the inclusion of acquired fund fees and expenses (i.e., the fees and expenses
attributable to investing cash balances in money market funds) and may differ from those shown in the Funds financial
statements.
Index Descriptions
1 The inception date for the Fund was October 26, 2009. Morningstar information is available at month end only; therefore the closest month end to the
inception date of the Fund, October 31, 2009, was used.
2 The MSCI EAFE Index is an unmanaged, free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market
performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The MSCI EAFE Index (in US$) reflects the return of the MSCI EAFE Index for a
U.S. dollar investor. Index results are inclusive of dividends and net of foreign withholding taxes. Index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees,
expenses or taxes.
3 Morningstar Foreign Stock Fund Average: Average returns of all mutual funds in the Morningstar universe that have 90% or more of their assets
invested in non-U.S. stocks. These funds may or may not be hedged to the U.S. dollar, which will affect reported returns.

The performance data shown above would have been lower had certain fees and expenses not been waived and/or reimbursed from
December 8, 1993 through March 31, 1999.
* The Fund does not impose any front-end or deferred sales charges. The expense ratios shown above reflect the inclusion of
acquired fund fees and expenses (i.e., the fees and expenses attributable to investing cash balances in money market funds) and
may differ from those shown in the Funds financial statements.
Index Descriptions
1 The inception date for the Fund was December 8, 1993.
2 S&P 500/MSCI World Index (Hedged to US$): A combination of the S&P 500 Index and the MSCI World Index (Hedged to US$), linked together by
Tweedy, Browne Company, that represents the performance of the S&P 500 Index for the periods 12/8/93 - 12/31/06, and the performance of the MSCI
World Index (Hedged to US$), beginning 1/01/07 and thereafter. For the period from the Fund's inception through 2006, the Fund chose the S&P 500 as
its benchmark. Starting in mid-December 2006, the Fund's investment mandate changed from investing at least 80% of its assets in U.S. securities to
investing no less than approximately 50% in U.S. securities, and so the Fund chose the MSCI World Index (Hedged to US$) as its benchmark for periods
starting January 2007. Effective July 29, 2013, the Value Fund removed the 50% requirement and continues to use the MSCI World Index (Hedged to
US$) as its benchmark.
The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged, market capitalization weighted index composed of 500 widely held common stocks that assumes the reinvestment of
dividends. The index is generally considered representative of U.S. large capitalization stocks. Index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses
or taxes.
The MSCI World Index is an unmanaged, free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market
performance of developed markets. The MSCI World Index (Hedged to US$) consists of the results of the MSCI World Index with its foreign currency
exposure hedged 100% back into U.S. dollars and accounts for interest rate differentials in forward currency exchange rates. Index results are inclusive of
dividends and net of foreign withholding taxes. Index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.

MSCI World Index for a U.S. dollar investor. The MSCI World Index (Hedged to US$) consists of the results of the MSCI
World Index with its foreign currency exposure hedged 100% back into U.S. dollars and accounts for interest rate differentials
in forward currency exchange rates. Results for each index are inclusive of dividends and net of foreign withholding taxes.
Index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.
Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Selected Purchases & Sales illustrate some or all of the largest purchases and sales made for each Fund during the preceding
quarter and may not include all purchases and sales. Some undisclosed names may have been withheld where disclosure
may be disadvantageous to a Funds accumulation or disposition program.
Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk. The securities of small, less well-known companies may be more
volatile than those of larger companies. In addition, investing in foreign securities involves additional risks beyond the risks of

investing in securities of U.S. markets. These risks include economic and political considerations not typically found in U.S.
markets, including currency fluctuation, political uncertainty and different financial standards, regulatory environments, and
overall market and economic factors in the countries. Value investing involves the risk that the market will not recognize a
security's intrinsic value for a long time, or that a security thought to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced
when purchased. Dividends are not guaranteed, and a company currently paying dividends may cease paying dividends at any
time. Investors should refer to the prospectus for a description of risk factors associated with investments in securities held by
the Funds.
Although the practice of hedging against currency exchange rate changes utilized by the Tweedy, Browne Global Value Fund
and Tweedy, Browne Value Fund reduces the risk of loss from exchange rate movements, it also reduces the ability of the Funds
to gain from favorable exchange rate movements when the U.S. dollar declines against the currencies in which the Funds
investments are denominated and in some interest rate environments may impose out-of-pocket costs on the Funds.
