EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement is being filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 8(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Beneficial
interests in the series of the Registrant are not being registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, because such interests are issued solely in
private placement transactions that do not involve any "public offering" within
the meaning of Section 4(2) of that act. Investments in the Registrant's series
may only be made by certain institutional investors, whether organized within or
without the United States (excluding individuals, S corporations, partnerships,
and grantor trusts beneficially owned by any individuals, S corporations, or
partnerships). This Registration Statement, as amended, does not constitute an
offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any beneficial interests
in any series of the Registrant.
The purpose of this amendment is to add two new series of the Registrant,
the Large Cap Growth Portfolio and the Emerging Markets Portfolio. No change is
intended to be made by this amendment to the information previously filed in
Parts A, B and C with respect to the Balanced Portfolio, the Large Cap Value
Portfolio, the International Equity Portfolio, the Small Cap Value Portfolio,
the Intermediate Bond Portfolio, the Short-Term Bond Fund Portfolio, the Money
Market Portfolio, the Municipal Money Market Portfolio and the U.S. Government
Money Market Portfolio.
<PAGE>
PART A
Responses to Items 1, 2, 3 and 5 have been omitted pursuant to paragraph
2(b) of Instruction B of the General Instructions to Form N-1A.
Responses to certain Items required to be included in Part A of this
Registration Statement are incorporated herein by reference to Post-Effective
Amendment No. 32 to the Registration Statement of the American AAdvantage Funds
("AAdvantage Trust") (1940 Act File No. 811-9484, EDGAR Accession No.
0000950134-00-005545), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("Commission") on July 7, 2000 ("AAdvantage Trust Registration Statement"). Part
A of the AAdvantage Trust Registration Statement includes a joint prospectus of
American AAdvantage Large Cap Growth Fund, American AAdvantage Emerging Markets
Fund, American AAdvantage Small Cap Index Fund, and American AAdvantage
International Equity Index Fund (the "Feeder's Part A"). The American AAdvantage
Large Cap Growth Fund and the American AAdvantage Emerging Markets Fund (each a
"Fund") plan to invest in a corresponding portfolio of the AMR Investment
Services Trust ("AMR Trust") - the Large Cap Growth Portfolio and the Emerging
Markets Portfolio, respectively (each, a "Portfolio" and collectively, the
"Portfolios"). The Portfolios are described herein. The American AAdvantage
Small Cap Index Fund and American AAdvantage International Equity Index Fund do
not plan to invest in a corresponding portfolio of the AMR Trust. Accordingly,
information relating to these funds contained in the Feeder's Part A is not
incorporated by reference herein.
ITEM 4. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES, AND RELATED
------ RISKS.
-----
Information on the investment objective, principal investment strategies,
and related risks for each Portfolio is incorporated herein by reference from
the section entitled "About the Funds - Investment Objective, Principal
Strategies and Principal Risk Factors" relating to each Fund described in the
Feeder's Part A. Additional investment techniques, features, and limitations
concerning each Portfolio's investment programs are described in Part B of this
Registration Statement.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT, ORGANIZATION, AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE.
------ -----------------------------------------------
AMR Investment Services, Inc. (the "Manager") provides investment
management and administrative services to the Portfolios. The assets of both
Portfolios are allocated by the Manager among investment advisers designated for
that Portfolio. Each investment adviser has discretion to purchase and sell
portfolio securities within the respective portion of a Portfolio's assets
allocated to it in accordance with that Portfolio's investment objective,
policies and restrictions. A description of both Portfolios' investment advisers
and portfolio managers is incorporated herein by reference from the sections
entitled "About the Funds -The Manager" and "-The Investment Advisers" in the
Feeder's Part A.
Each investor in a Portfolio is entitled to participate equally in the
Portfolio's earnings and assets and to a vote in proportion to the amount of its
investment in the Portfolio. Investment in a Portfolio may not be transferred,
but an investor may withdraw all or any portion of its investment at any time at
the next share price calculated after the Portfolio has received and accepted
the withdrawal request. Each investor in a Portfolio is liable for all
obligations of the Portfolio. However, because a Portfolio will indemnify each
investor therein with respect to any liability to which the investor may become
subject by reason of being such an investor, the risk of an investor in a
Portfolio incurring financial loss on account of such liability would be limited
A-1
<PAGE>
to circumstances in which the Portfolio had inadequate insurance and was unable
to meet its obligations (including indemnification obligations) out of its
assets.
ITEM 7. SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION.
------ -----------------------
PRICING OF SHARES
The price of each share ("share price") of both Portfolios are determined
as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"), generally 4:00
p.m. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading, which excludes
the following business holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King's Birthday,
President's Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day ("Business Day"). The share price of each
investor's interest in a Portfolio will be determined by computing that
Portfolio's total assets, subtracting all of that Portfolio's liabilities, and
dividing the result by all the investors' beneficial interest in that Portfolio
outstanding at such time.
Additional information on the time and method of valuation of the
Portfolios' assets is incorporated herein by reference from the section entitled
"About the Funds - Valuation of Shares" in the Feeder's Part A.
PURCHASE OF SHARES
Beneficial interests in the Portfolios will be offered solely in private
placement transactions that do not involve any "public offering" within the
meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act").
Investments in the Portfolios may only be made by certain institutional
investors, whether organized within or without the United States (excluding
individuals, S corporations, partnerships, and grantor trusts beneficially owned
by any individuals, S corporations, or partnerships). At no time during any
Portfolio's existence will it have more than 100 investors. This Registration
Statement, as amended, does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation
of an offer to buy, any "security" within the meaning of the 1933 Act.
Beneficial interests are purchased at the next share price calculated after an
investment is received and accepted.
There is no minimum initial or subsequent investment in a Portfolio.
However, since both Portfolios intend to be as fully invested at all times as is
reasonably practicable in order to enhance the return on its assets, investments
must be made in federal funds (I.E., monies credited to the account of the AMR
Trust's custodian by a Federal Reserve Bank).
AMR Trust reserves the right to cease accepting investments in a Portfolio
at any time or to reject any investment order.
REDEMPTION OF SHARES
An investor in a Portfolio may withdraw all or any portion of its
investment in the Portfolio at the share price next calculated after the
applicable Portfolio has received and accepted the redemption request. Proceeds
of a withdrawal will be paid by the Portfolio in federal funds normally on the
Business Day the withdrawal is effected, but in any event within seven days,
except as extension may be permitted by law.
A-2
<PAGE>
The right of any investor to receive payment with respect to any
withdrawal may be suspended, or the payment of the withdrawal proceeds
postponed, during any period in which the Exchange is closed (other than
weekends or holidays) or trading on the Exchange is restricted or to the extent
otherwise permitted by the 1940 Act.
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS TAX CONSEQUENCES
A Portfolio's net income consists of (1) all dividends, accrued interest
(including earned discount, both original issue and market discount), and other
income, including any net realized gains on the Portfolio's assets, less (2) all
actual and accrued expenses of the Portfolio, and amortization of any premium,
and net realized losses on the Portfolio's assets, all as determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. All of a Portfolio's
net income is allocated pro rata among the investors in that Portfolio. A
Portfolio's net income generally is not distributed to the investors in the
Portfolio, except as determined by the AMR Trustees from time to time, but
instead is included in the share price of the investors' respective beneficial
interests in that Portfolio.
Under the current method of the Portfolios' operations, neither Portfolio
is subject to any income tax. However, each investor in a Portfolio is taxable
on its share (as determined in accordance with the AMR Trust's Declaration of
Trust and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), and the
regulations promulgated thereunder) of that Portfolio's ordinary income and
capital gain. The Manager intends to manage both Portfolios' assets, income and
distributions in such a way that an investment company investing in a Portfolio
will be able to satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code, assuming
that the investment company invested all of its assets in the Portfolio. See
Item 19 of Part B.
ITEM 8. DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS.
------ -------------------------
There are no sales loads or Rule 12b-1 fees charged to investors.
A description of the features of the master-feeder structure of the
Portfolios is incorporated herein by reference from the section entitled
"Additional Information - Master-Feeder Structure" in the Feeder's Part A.

ITEM 10. COVER PAGE AND TABLE OF CONTENTS.
------- --------------------------------
Part A contains information about the investment objective and policies of
the Large Cap Growth Portfolio and the Emerging Markets Portfolio (each, a
"Portfolio"), each a subtrust or "series" of the AMR Investment Services Trust
("AMR Trust"). This Part B should only be read in conjunction with Part A. This
section contains supplemental information concerning the investment policies and
portfolio strategies that AMR Trust may utilize, the types of securities and
other instruments in which the Portfolios may invest and certain risks attendant
to those investment policies and strategies. Capitalized terms used in Part B
and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given them in Part A of this
Registration Statement.
Responses to certain items required to be included in Part B of this
Registration Statement are incorporated herein by reference to the AAdvantage
Trust Registration Statement. Part B of the AAdvantage Trust Registration
Statement includes the joint statement of additional information ("SAI") for the
Institutional and AMR Classes of the American AAdvantage Large Cap Growth Fund,
American AAdvantage Emerging Markets Fund, American AAdvantage Small Cap Index
Fund, and American AAdvantage International Equity Index Fund (the "Feeder's
Part B"). The American AAdvantage Large Cap Growth Fund and the American
AAdvantage Emerging Markets Fund (each a "Fund") plan to invest in a
corresponding portfolio of the AMR Trust - the Large Cap Growth Portfolio and
the Emerging Markets Portfolio, respectively. The Portfolios are described
herein. The American AAdvantage Small Cap Index Fund and American AAdvantage
International Equity Index Fund do not plan to invest in a corresponding
portfolio of the AMR Trust. Accordingly, information relating to these Funds
contained in the Feeder's Part B is not incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 11. PORTFOLIO HISTORY.
------- -----------------
The AMR Trust is a diversified, open-end management investment company
that was organized as a New York common law trust pursuant to a Declaration of
Trust dated as of June 27, 1995, and amended as of August 11, 1995.
Under the Declaration of Trust, the AMR Trustees are authorized to issue
beneficial interests in separate subtrusts or "series" of AMR Trust. Beneficial
interests in AMR Trust are divided into eleven separate diversified subtrusts or
B-1
<PAGE>
"series," each having a distinct investment objective and distinct investment
policies. Seven of these series -- the Balanced Portfolio, the Large Cap Value
Portfolio (formerly known as Growth and Income Portfolio prior to March 1,
1999), the International Equity Portfolio, the Short-Term Bond Portfolio
(formerly known as Limited-Term Income Portfolio prior to March 1, 1997), the
Money Market Portfolio, the Municipal Money Market Portfolio, and the U.S.
Government Money Market Portfolio (formerly known as U.S. Treasury Money Market
Portfolio prior to March 1, 1998) commenced operations on November 1, 1995. The
Intermediate Bond Portfolio commenced operations on September 15, 1997. The
Small Cap Value Portfolio commenced operations on December 31, 1998. The Large
Cap Growth Portfolio and the Emerging Markets Portfolio are expected to commence
operations on or about August 1, 2000. The assets of each Portfolio belong only
to that Portfolio, and the assets belonging to each Portfolio shall be charged
with the liabilities of that Portfolio and all expenses, costs, charges and
reserves attributable to that Portfolio. AMR Trust is empowered to establish,
without investor approval, additional portfolios that may have different
investment objectives and policies.
ITEM 12. DESCRIPTION OF THE PORTFOLIOS AND THEIR INVESTMENTS AND RISKS.
-------- --------------------------------------------------------------
Part A contains basic information about the investment objective, policies
and limitations of each Portfolio. This section supplements the discussion in
Part A of the investment objective, policies and limitations of each Portfolio.
Information on the investment strategies, fund policies and temporary
defensive positions of both Portfolios, the types of securities bought and
investment techniques used by both Portfolios, and certain risks attendant
thereto, as well as other information on the Portfolios' portfolio turnover, is
incorporated herein by reference to the sections entitled "Non-Principal
Investment Strategies and Risks," "Investment Restrictions", "Temporary
Defensive Positions," "Portfolio Turnover" and "Other Information" in the
Feeder's Part B.
ITEM 13. MANAGEMENT OF THE PORTFOLIOS.
------- ----------------------------
The AMR Trustees provide broad supervision over AMR Trust's affairs. The
Manager is responsible for the management of Trust assets, and AMR Trust's
officers are responsible for the Trust's operations. Information about the
Trustees and officers of AMR Trust is incorporated herein by reference to the
section entitled "Trustees and Officers of the Mileage Trust and the AMR Trust"
in the Feeder's Part B.
As compensation for their service to the AMR Trust, the American
AAdvantage Funds, the American AAdvantage Mileage Funds and the American Select
Funds (collectively, the "American Trusts"), each Trustee who is not an
"interested" person of the American Trusts as defined by the 1940 Act
("Independent Trustee") and their spouses receive free air travel from American
Airlines, Inc., an affiliate of the Manager. The American Trusts pay American
Airlines the flight service charges incurred for these travel arrangements. The
American Trusts compensate each Trustee with payments in an amount equal to the
Trustees' income tax on the value of this free airline travel. Mr. O'Sullivan,
as a retiree of American Airlines, Inc., already receives flight benefits. The
American Trusts pay Mr. O'Sullivan an annual retainer of $20,000 plus $1,250 for
each Board meeting attended. Trustees also are reimbursed for any expenses
incurred in attending Board meetings.
The Trust does not charge any sales loads in connection with the purchase
of interests in the Portfolios.

<PAGE>
ITEM 14. CONTROL PERSONS AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF SECURITIES.
------- ---------------------------------------------------
As of the date of this Registration Statement, each Portfolio could be
deemed to be under the control of AMR Investment Services, Inc., which owns 100%
of the value of the outstanding interests in the Portfolios. The address is 4333
Amon Carter Boulevard, MD 5645, Fort Worth, Texas 76155.
ITEM 15. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER SERVICES.
------- --------------------------------------
The Manager serves as investment manager and administrator to AMR Trust
pursuant to a Management Agreement dated October 1, 1995, which obligates the
Manager to provide and oversee all administrative, investment advisory and
portfolio management services for AMR Trust, including the Portfolios.
As described more fully in Item 6 in Part A, the Manager is paid a
management fee as compensation for providing or overseeing the provision of all
administrative, investment advisory and portfolio management services for AMR
Trust. The Manager allocates the assets of the Large Cap Growth Portfolio and
the Emerging Markets Portfolio among investment advisers designated for the
Portfolios. See Item 5 in Part A.
Further information on the investment management and other services
provided for or on behalf of each Portfolio is incorporated herein by reference
to the sections entitled "Management, Administrative Services and Distribution
Fees," "Investment Advisory Agreements" and "Other Service Providers" in the
Feeder's Part B.
ITEM 16. BROKERAGE ALLOCATION AND OTHER PRACTICES.
------- ----------------------------------------
A description of the Portfolios' brokerage allocation and other practices
is incorporated herein by reference to the section entitled "Portfolio
Securities Transactions" in the Feeder's Part B.
ITEM 17. CAPITAL STOCK AND OTHER SECURITIES.
------- ----------------------------------
Each investor in a Portfolio is entitled to a vote in proportion to the
amount of its investment therein. Investors in a Portfolio will vote together in
certain circumstances (E.G., election of AMR Trustees and ratification of the
selection of auditors, as required by the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder).
One or more of the Portfolios in AMR Trust could control the outcome of these
votes. Investors do not have cumulative voting rights, and investors holding
more than 50% of the aggregate beneficial interests in AMR Trust or in a
Portfolio, as the case may be, may control the outcome of votes. The Trust is
not required and does not currently intend to hold annual meetings of investors,
but the Trust will hold special meetings of investors when a majority of AMR
Trustees determines to do so or investors holding at least 10% of the interests
in the Trust (or a Portfolio) request in writing a meeting of investors in AMR
Trust (or Portfolio).
The AMR Trust or any series may enter into a merger or consolidation, or
sell all or substantially all of its assets, if approved by the AMR Trustees. A
Portfolio may be terminated (1) upon liquidation and distribution of its assets,
(2) if approved by the vote of at least two-thirds of its investors, or (3) by
the AMR Trustees on written notice to the Portfolio's investors.
AMR Trust is organized as a common law trust under the laws of the State
of New York. Investors in a Portfolio may be held personally liable for its
obligations and liabilities, subject, however, to indemnification by the Trust
in the event that there is imposed upon an investor a greater portion of the
liabilities and obligations than its proportionate beneficial interest. The
B-3
<PAGE>
Declaration of Trust also provides that AMR Trust shall maintain appropriate
insurance for the protection of each Portfolio, investors, AMR Trustees,
officers, employees, and agents covering possible tort and other liabilities.
Thus, the risk of an investor incurring financial loss on account of such
liability is limited to circumstances in which a Portfolio had inadequate
insurance and was unable to meet its obligations out of its assets.
The Declaration of Trust further provides that obligations of a Portfolio
are not binding upon the AMR Trustees individually but only upon the property of
that Portfolio and the AMR Trustees will not be liable for any action or failure
to act, but nothing in the Declaration of Trust protects a Trustee against any
liability to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties
involved in the conduct of his office.
Upon liquidation or dissolution of any Portfolio, the investors therein
would be entitled to share pro rata in its net assets available for distribution
to investors.
ITEM 18. PURCHASE, REDEMPTION AND PRICING OF INTERESTS.
------- ---------------------------------------------
Beneficial interests in the Portfolios will be issued solely in private
placement transactions that do not involve any "public offering" within the
meaning of Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act. See Item 7 in Part A.
The share price of each Portfolio is computed each Business Day (defined
in Item 7 in Part A) on which shares are offered and orders accepted or upon
receipt of a redemption request as outlined in Part A.
Information of the Portfolios' policy regarding redemption in kind is
incorporated herein by reference from the section entitled "Redemptions in Kind"
in the Feeder's Part B.
ITEM 19. TAXATION OF THE PORTFOLIOS.
------- --------------------------
Information on the taxation of the Portfolios is incorporated herein by
reference from the section entitled "Tax Information - Taxation of the Funds" in
the Feeder's Part B, substituting for "Fund" whenever used therein either
"investor in a Portfolio" or "RIC investor" (I.E., an investor in a Portfolio
that intends to qualify as a regulated investment company for federal income tax
purposes), as the context requires.

ITEM 24. PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH REGISTRANT
------- -------------------------------------------------------------
No person is controlled by or under common control with the Registrant.
ITEM 25. INDEMNIFICATION
------- ---------------
Article VI, Section 6.4 of the Declaration of Trust of the AMR Trust
provides that:
The Trust shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law
(including the 1940 Act), each Trustee, officer or employee of the Trust
(including any Person who serves at the Trust's request as a director, officer
or trustee of another organization in which the Trust has any interest as a
shareholder, creditor or otherwise) against all liabilities and expenses
(including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, as fines
and penalties, and as counsel fees) reasonably incurred by such Person in
connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other
proceeding, whether civil or criminal, in which such Person may be involved or
with which such Person may be threatened, while in office or thereafter, by
reason of such Person being or having been such a Trustee, officer or employee,
except with respect to any matter as to which such Person shall have been
adjudicated to have acted in bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or
reckless disregard of such Person's duties; provided, however, that as to any
matter disposed of by a compromise payment by such Person, pursuant to a consent
decree or otherwise, no indemnification either for such payment or for any other
expenses shall be provided unless there has been a determination that such
Person did not engage in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or
reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Person's office
(a) by the court or other body approving the settlement or other disposition;
(b) by a reasonable determination, based upon a review of readily available
facts as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that such Person did not engage
in such conduct by written opinion from independent legal counsel approved by
the Trustees; or (c) by a majority of the Trustees who are neither Interested
Persons of the Trust nor parties to the matter based upon a review of readily
available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry). The rights accruing
to any Person under these provisions shall not exclude any other right to which
such Person may be lawfully entitled; provided that no Person may satisfy any
right of indemnity or reimbursement granted in this Section 6.4 or in Section
6.2 hereof or to which such Person may be otherwise entitled except out of the
Trust Property.
According to Article VI, Section 6.5 of the Declaration of Trust, the
Trustees may make advance payments in connection with indemnification under
Section 6.4, provided that the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the
advances must be limited to amounts used, or to be used, for the preparation or
presentation of a defense to the action, including costs connected with the
preparation of a settlement; (ii) advances may be made only upon receipt of a
written promise by, or on behalf of, the recipient to repay the amount of the
advance which exceeds the amount which it is ultimately determined that he is
entitled to receive from the Trust by reason of indemnification; and (iii) (a)
such promise must be secured by a surety bond, other suitable insurance or an
equivalent form of security which assures that any repayment may be obtained by
the Trust without delay or litigation, which bond, insurance or other form of
C-6
<PAGE>
security must be provided by the recipient of the advance, or (b) a majority of
a quorum of the Trust's disinterested, non-party Trustees, or an independent
legal counsel in a written opinion, shall determine, based upon a review of
readily available facts (as opposed to a trial-type inquiry or full
investigation), that there is reason to believe that the recipient of the
advance ultimately will not be disqualified from indemnification under Section
6.4.
Section 8 of the Management Agreement between the Registrant and AMR
Investment Services, Inc. ("Manager") provides that the Manager shall not be
liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by
the Registrant or any portfolio in connection with the matters to which the
Management Agreement relate except a loss resulting from the willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on its part in the performance of its
duties or from reckless disregard by it of its obligations and duties under the
Management Agreement.
Section 8 of each Advisory Agreement between the Manager and each
Portfolio's investment subadviser ("Subadviser") states that no provision of the
Advisory Agreement shall be deemed to protect the Subadviser against any
liability to the Registrant or its shareholders to which it might otherwise be
subject by reason of any willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in
the performance of its duties or the reckless disregard of its obligations under
an Advisory Agreement.
ITEM 26. BUSINESS AND OTHER CONNECTIONS OF INVESTMENT MANAGER AND
------- INVESTMENT SUBADVISER
---------------------
Information as to any other business, profession, vocation or employment
of a substantial nature in which each director or officer of the Manager and
each principal of a Subadviser is, or at any time during the past two years has
been, engaged for his or her own account or in the capacity of director,
officer, employee, partner or trustee is incorporated herein by reference from
