    Jundt  U.S. Emerging Growth  Fund (the "Fund")  is a professionally managed,
diversified series of Jundt Funds, Inc. (the "Company"), an open-end  management
investment  company, commonly  known as a  "mutual fund."  The Company currently
offers its shares  in one  series (Series A,  which represent  interests in  the
Fund)  and the Fund, in turn, currently offers its shares in four classes (Class
A, Class  B,  Class C  and  Class D),  each  sold pursuant  to  different  sales
arrangements  and bearing different expenses (each, a "Class" and, collectively,
the "Classes.") This Prospectus relates only to the Fund's Class B, Class C  and
Class  D shares, the  only Classes offered  for sale to  the general public. See
"Purchase Information."

    The Fund's investment objective is to provide long-term capital appreciation
by investing  primarily  in a  diversified  portfolio of  equity  securities  of
emerging  growth companies that  are believed by  the Fund's investment adviser,
Jundt Associates, Inc. (the "Investment Adviser"), to have significant potential
for growth  in  revenue and  earnings.  Income is  not  a consideration  in  the
selection  of investments and is  not an investment objective  of the Fund. Like
all mutual  funds,  attainment of  the  Fund's investment  objective  cannot  be
assured. See "Investment Objective and Policies."

    This  Prospectus sets forth concisely the  information about the Fund that a
prospective investor should know before  investing. Please read this  Prospectus
carefully  before investing and  retain it for future  reference. A Statement of
Additional Information,  dated December  29, 1995,  containing more  information
about  the Fund (which is incorporated herein by reference), has been filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and is available upon request
and without charge by calling the Fund at the telephone number listed above.

    AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND INVOLVES  CERTAIN RISKS, AS DESCRIBED UNDER  "RISK

                       PROSPECTUS DATED DECEMBER 29, 1995
<PAGE>
                                    THE FUND

    The  Fund is a professionally managed, diversified series of the Company, an
open-end management investment company  registered under the Investment  Company
Act   of  1940,  as  amended  (the  "Investment  Company  Act").  The  Fund  was
incorporated under the laws of the State  of Minnesota on October 26, 1995.  The
Fund's  principal  business  address  is 1550  Utica  Avenue  South,  Suite 950,
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55416.

                                  RISK FACTORS

    An investment in  the Fund is  subject to certain  risks, as detailed  under
"Investment Objective and Policies." As with other mutual funds, there can be no
assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective, and an investment
in  the Fund will fluctuate  in value (corresponding to  the value of the Fund's
underlying investments).

    In normal market conditions, at least half of the Fund's equity  investments
will  be in  securities of  companies with  annual revenues  under $750 million.
Investments in smaller companies  may involve greater  price volatility and  may
have  less  market liquidity  than equity  securities  of larger  companies. See
"Investment Objective and Policies -- Investment Policies."

    Under normal market conditions, the Fund may  invest up to 35% of its  total
assets  in  short-term,  fixed-income  securities,  and  may  temporarily invest
greater than 35% of  its assets in such  securities when the Investment  Adviser
believes  that  market conditions  warrant a  defensive investment  posture. The
value of  fixed-income securities  typically varies  inversely with  changes  in
market  interest  rates. See  "Investment Objective  and Policies  -- Investment
Policies."

    The Fund may invest up to 10%  of its total assets in securities of  foreign
issuers.   Such  investments   involve  risks  not   typically  associated  with
investments in securities of domestic  companies, including the risk of  decline
in  the  value  of the  applicable  foreign  currency against  the  U.S. dollar,
potential  political  and  economic  instability  in  such  countries,   limited
liquidity  and  price  volatility.  See "Investment  Objective  and  Policies --
Investment Policies."

    The Fund may  engage to a  limited extent in  certain other investments  and
investment  techniques, including  entering into  repurchase agreements, lending
portfolio securities, and purchasing and selling stock index futures  contracts,
options  on  stock indices,  stock options  and options  on stock  index futures
contracts. The  use  of each  of  these financial  techniques  involves  certain
additional  risk and may increase  the volatility of an  investment in the Fund.
Certain  of  these  investment  techniques   are  referred  to  generically   as
"derivatives"  -- a term that  has been used to  identify a variety of financial
instruments whose values are based  upon, or "derived" from, certain  underlying
indices,   reference  rates,  securities,  commodities   or  other  assets.  See
"Investment Objective and Policies  -- Repurchase Agreements,"  " -- Lending  of
Portfolio  Securities" and " -- Futures and Options Transactions" and Appendix A
to this Prospectus.

                              PURCHASE INFORMATION

    The Fund offers investors the choice among three Classes of shares (Class B,
Class C and  Class D), which  offer different sales  charges and bear  different
expenses.  See "Fees and Expenses" below.  These alternatives permit an investor
to choose the  method of purchasing  shares that is  most beneficial, given  the
amount  of the  purchase, the length  of time  the investor expects  to hold the
shares and other circumstances.  AS MORE FULLY DISCUSSED  BELOW, CLASS A  SHARES
ARE  OFFERED FOR  SALE EXCLUSIVELY  TO CERTAIN  SPECIFIED INVESTORS  AND ARE NOT
OFFERED FOR SALE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

                                       2
<PAGE>
    Investors making investments that, based upon the amount of the  investment,
would  qualify for reduced  Class D sales  charges may wish  to consider Class D
shares, as opposed to Class  B or Class C shares,  which bear higher Rule  12b-1
charges.  Other investors may wish to consider Class B or Class C shares because
all of the purchase price is invested immediately. Orders for Class B shares for
$250,000 or more will be treated as orders for Class D shares or declined. Sales
personnel may receive different compensation depending on which Class of  shares
they sell.

    Class  A  shares  are  available for  investments  only  by:  (a) directors,
officers,  employees  and  consultants  of  the  Fund  (including  partners  and
employees  of outside legal counsel to the Fund), the Investment Adviser and the
Fund's principal distributor, U.S. Growth Investments, Inc. (the "Distributor"),
members of  their immediate  families,  and their  direct lineal  ancestors  and
descendants; and (b) accounts for the benefit of any of the foregoing.

                               FEES AND EXPENSES

    The  following fee and expense  summary format was developed  for use by all
mutual funds  to assist  investors in  making investment  decisions. Of  course,
investors  contemplating an investment in Fund shares should also consider other
relevant factors,  including  the  Fund's investment  objective  and  historical
performance.

    The  purpose of the fee and expense information set forth above is to assist
investors in understanding the  various costs and  expenses that investors  will
bear  directly or indirectly in  each Class of the  Fund's shares. More detailed
information regarding  these expenses  is  set forth  under "Management  of  the
Fund."  THE FOREGOING INFORMATION REPRESENTS MANAGEMENT'S GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE OF
FUND EXPENSES (NET OF VOLUNTARY EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS) DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF
THE FUND'S OPERATIONS AND  SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED  REPRESENTATIONS OF PAST  OR
FUTURE EXPENSES. ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.

    The  Investment Adviser has voluntarily agreed  to pay certain Fund expenses
as indicated in the  above table incurred  during the first  year of the  Fund's
operations.   Thereafter,   such   voluntary  expense   reimbursements   may  be
discontinued or modified  in the  Investment Adviser's  sole discretion.  Absent
such voluntary expense reimbursements, the Investment Adviser estimates that the
Fund's  Class  B, Class  C  and Class  D shares  would  incur other  expenses of
approximately .61%,  .61%  and  .61%, respectively,  and  Total  Fund  Operating
Expenses of approximately 3.09%, 3.09% and 2.32%, respectively.

                       INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES

    The  Fund's investment  objective and certain  other specifically designated
investment policies  and restrictions  are deemed  to be  "fundamental" and,  as
such,  may not be  changed except by a  vote of a "majority"  (as defined in the
Investment Company Act) of the Fund's outstanding shares. Except for the  Fund's
investment  objective and  the policies  and restrictions  that are specifically
designated  as  "fundamental,"  each  of  the  Fund's  investment  policies  and
restrictions are "non-fundamental" and, as such, may be changed or eliminated by
the  Company's Board of  Directors without any  vote by Fund  shareholders. If a
percentage limitation set forth in any of the following investment policies  and
restrictions  is adhered to at the time a transaction is effected, later changes
in the  percentage  resulting  from  changes  in  value  or  in  the  number  of
outstanding securities of the issuer will not be considered a violation.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

    The Fund's investment objective is to provide long-term capital appreciation
by  investing  primarily  in a  diversified  portfolio of  equity  securities of
emerging growth companies that  are believed by the  Investment Adviser to  have
significant  potential  for growth  in  revenue and  earnings.  Income is  not a
consideration in the selection of investments and is not an investment objective
of the  Fund.  Like  all  mutual funds,  attainment  of  the  Fund's  investment
objective cannot be assured.

INVESTMENT POLICIES

    The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of emerging growth companies
that  are believed by  the Investment Adviser to  have significant potential for
growth in revenues  and earnings.  In normal market  conditions, the  Investment
Adviser  endeavors to  invest substantially  all (and no  less than  65%) of the
Fund's assets in equity securities of emerging growth companies. The  Investment
Adviser  emphasizes emerging growth companies, with  at least half of the Fund's
equity securities consisting of companies with annual revenues of less than $750
million, and  attempts to  maintain equity  positions in  30 to  50 of  what  it
believes  are the  fastest growing  American emerging  growth corporations (with
some investments in comparable foreign companies).

    The Fund may invest up to 10% of the value of its total assets in securities
of foreign  issuers. The  Fund may  only purchase  foreign securities  that  are
represented  by  American Depository  Receipts listed  on a  domestic securities
exchange or included in the NASDAQ National Market System, or foreign securities
listed directly on  a domestic  securities exchange  or included  in the  NASDAQ
National  Market System. Interest or dividend payments on such securities may be
subject  to  foreign  withholding  taxes.  The  Fund's  investments  in  foreign
securities  involve  considerations  and  risks  not  typically  associated with
investments in securities of  domestic companies, including unfavorable  changes
in  currency rates and  exchange control regulations,  reduced and less reliable
information  about  issuers   and  markets,   different  accounting   standards,
illiquidity  of securities and markets,  local economic or political instability
and greater market risk in general.

    Pending the investment or reinvestment of proceeds from the issuance of Fund
shares or  the  sale of  Fund  portfolio investments,  the  Fund may  invest  in
short-term  money market  securities and bank  deposits in  domestic branches of
U.S. banks having total assets in excess  of $1 billion that are members of  the
FDIC.  In normal market conditions, short-term  money market securities and bank
deposits may comprise up to  35% of the Fund's  total assets; however, when  the
Investment  Adviser  believes  that  economic  conditions  warrant  a  defensive
investment posture, the  Fund may  temporarily invest  greater than  35% of  its
total    assets   in    such   investments.   The    short-term   money   market

                                       5
<PAGE>
securities in which the Fund may invest include obligations of the United States
Government, its agencies  or instrumentalities  ("U.S. Government  Securities");
commercial  paper rated  A-1 or higher  by Standard &  Poor's Corporation and/or
Prime-1 or higher by Moody's Investor Services, Inc.; repurchase agreements; and
certificates of deposit and banker's acceptances issued by domestic branches  of
U.S.  banks having total assets in excess of  $1 billion that are members of the
FDIC. Additionally, to  the extent  permitted by  applicable law,  the Fund  may
invest to a limited extent in money market mutual funds (which, to the extent of
any  such investment, would  subject the Fund and  its shareholders to duplicate
expenses).

    The U.S.  Government  Securities  in  which  the  Fund  may  invest  include
securities  issued or guaranteed as to payment  of principal and interest by the
U.S. Government or  its agencies or  instrumentalities. The Fund  may invest  in
direct  obligations of the  U.S. Treasury, such  as U.S. Treasury  bills, and in
obligations of U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities, including, but not
limited to,  the Federal  National  Mortgage Association  and the  Student  Loan
Mortgage    Association.   Obligations   of    U.S.   Government   agencies   or
instrumentalities, such as  the Federal  National Mortgage  Association and  the
Student  Loan Mortgage Association,  may be merely  backed by the  credit of the
agency or instrumentality issuing the obligations and not by the full faith  and
credit of the U.S. Treasury.

    The  Fund  intends to  purchase and  hold  securities for  long-term capital
appreciation and does not expect to  trade for short-term gain. Accordingly,  it
is  anticipated that the annual portfolio turnover rate normally will not exceed
100%. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated by dividing the lesser of  sales
or  purchases of portfolio securities by the average monthly value of the Fund's
portfolio securities.  For purposes  of this  calculation, portfolio  securities
exclude  all options, futures and securities having a maturity when purchased of
one year or less. The turnover rate has a direct effect on the transaction costs
(including brokerage costs) to be borne by the Fund.

    The net asset value of  the Fund itself will  fluctuate with changes in  the
value  of its portfolio  securities. The Fund is  intended for investors seeking
long-term capital appreciation and is not intended to provide a trading  vehicle
for those who wish to profit from short-term swings in the stock market.

OTHER INVESTMENT POLICIES

    REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS.   Except as limited  by the  Fund's policy regarding
illiquid securities  (see  "Illiquid Securities"  below),  the Fund  may  invest
without  limitation in repurchase agreements  with securities dealers and member
banks of the Federal Reserve System. Repurchase agreements involve the  purchase
by  the Fund of an  underlying debt instrument, subject  to an obligation of the
seller to repurchase, and the Fund to  resell, the instrument at a fixed  price,
usually not more than one week after its purchase. Certain costs may be incurred
by the Fund in connection with the sale of the securities if the seller does not
repurchase  them in  accordance with the  repurchase agreement.  In addition, if
bankruptcy  proceedings  are  commenced  with  respect  to  the  seller  of  the
securities, realization on the securities by the Fund may be delayed or limited.
The   Company's  Board  of  Directors   has  established  procedures,  which  it
periodically reviews, pursuant to which the Investment Adviser will monitor  the
creditworthiness  of  the dealers  and  banks with  which  the Fund  enters into
repurchase agreements.

    LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES.   To enhance the  return on its  portfolio,
the  Fund may  lend securities in  its portfolio  representing up to  25% of its
total assets, taken at market value, to securities

                                       6
<PAGE>
firms  and  financial   institutions,  provided  that   each  loan  is   secured
continuously  by  collateral in  the  form of  cash,  high quality  money market
instruments or short-term U.S.  Government Securities adjusted  daily to have  a
market  value  at least  equal to  the  current market  value of  the securities
loaned. These loans are terminable  at any time, and  the Fund will receive  any
interest  or  dividends  paid  on  the loaned  securities.  In  addition,  it is
anticipated that  the  Fund may  share  with the  borrower  some of  the  income
received  on the collateral for the loan or  the Fund will be paid a premium for
the loan. The risk in lending portfolio securities, as with other extensions  of
credit,  consists of  possible delay in  recovery of the  securities or possible
loss of  rights in  the  collateral should  the  borrower fail  financially.  In
determining  whether the Fund will lend  securities, the Investment Adviser will
consider all relevant factors and circumstances.  The Fund will only enter  into
loan  arrangements with  broker-dealers, banks  or other  institutions which the
Investment Adviser has determined are creditworthy under guidelines  established
by the Company's Board of Directors.

    FUTURES  AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS.   Through the purchase  and sale of stock
index futures contracts, options on stock indices, stock options and options  on
stock  index futures  contracts, the  Fund at  times may  seek to  hedge against
either a decline in the  value of securities owned by  it or an increase in  the
price  of securities which  it plans to  purchase. The Fund  is not a "commodity
pool;" therefore, consistent  with the  rules and regulations  of the  Commodity
Futures Trading Commission, the Fund will not purchase or sell futures contracts
or related options if, as a result, the sum of the initial margin deposit on the
Fund's  existing futures  and related  options positions  and premiums  paid for
options on  futures contracts  entered into  for other  than bona  fide  hedging
purposes would exceed 5% of the Fund's assets.

    Options  purchased and written by the Fund  may be exchange traded or may be
options entered  into by  the Fund  in negotiated  transactions with  investment
dealers  and other  financial institutions  ("OTC Options"),  such as commercial
banks or savings and  loan associations, deemed  creditworthy by the  Investment
Adviser.  OTC Options are not  as liquid as exchange  traded options, and it may
not be possible for  the Fund to dispose  of an OTC Option  it has purchased  or
terminate  its obligations under an OTC Option it has written at a time when the
Investment Adviser believes it would be advantageous to do so.

    The use of futures  and options involves the  risk of imperfect  correlation
between  movements in futures and  options prices and movements  in the price of
securities which are the subject of the hedge. Expenses and losses incurred as a
result of the above hedging strategies would reduce the Fund's performance.  For
a  further  discussion of  futures and  options transactions,  including certain
additional risks associated therewith, see APPENDIX A.

    ILLIQUID SECURITIES.   The Fund may  invest up to  10% of the  value of  its
assets  in  securities as  to  which a  liquid  trading market  does  not exist,
provided such investments are consistent  with the Fund's investment  objective.
Such  securities may include securities that are not readily marketable, such as
certain securities  that are  subject to  legal or  contractual restrictions  on
resale,  repurchase agreements providing for settlement  in more than seven days
after notice,  and certain  options traded  in the  over-the-counter market  and
securities  used to  cover such  options. As  to these  securities, the  Fund is
subject to the risk of  unavailability of a buyer for  a favorable price if  the
Fund  desires to sell  these securities. Such lack  of liquidity could adversely
affect the value of the Fund's net assets.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

    In addition to the investment policies set forth above, the Fund has adopted
certain fundamental investment restrictions (set forth in their entirety in  the
Statement  of Additional Information), which may not be amended without the vote
of a  "majority"  (as defined  in  the Investment  Company  Act) of  the  Fund's
outstanding voting securities. These restrictions prohibit the Fund, among other
matters,  from:  (a) investing  more than  25% of  its total  assets in  any one
industry (disregarding investments  in securities  of the  U.S. Government,  its
agencies  and  instrumentalities);  or  (b) borrowing  money  or  issuing senior
securities (as defined in the Investment Company Act), except that the Fund  may
borrow in amounts not exceeding 15% of its total assets from banks for temporary
or  emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests which might
require the  untimely  disposition of  securities.  Additionally, the  Fund  has
adopted certain non-fundamental investment restrictions (also set forth in their
entirety  in the Statement  of Additional Information), which  may be changed by
the  Company's  Board  of   Directors  without  the   approval  of  the   Fund's
shareholders.  According to these  restrictions, the Fund,  among other matters,
may not: (a) invest more  than 10% of its assets  (taken at market value at  the
time of purchase) in the outstanding securities of any single issuer; (b) invest
more  than 10% of its total assets  in securities of issuers which together with
any  predecessors  have  a  record  of  less  than  three  years  of  continuous
operations; or (c) own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any
one issuer.

BROKERAGE AND PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

    Subject  to policies  established by the  Company's Board  of Directors, the
Investment Adviser is responsible for investment decisions and for the execution
of the Fund's portfolio  transactions. The Fund has  no obligation to deal  with
any  particular broker or  dealer in the execution  of transactions in portfolio
securities. In  executing such  transactions, the  Investment Adviser  seeks  to
obtain  the best price and execution  for its transactions. While the Investment
Adviser generally seeks reasonably competitive  commission rates, the Fund  does
not necessarily pay the lowest commission.

    Where  best price and execution may be obtained from more than one broker or
dealer, the  Investment  Adviser  may,  in its  discretion,  purchase  and  sell
securities  through  brokers or  dealers who  provide research,  statistical and
other information to the Investment Adviser. Information so received will be  in
addition  to and  not in lieu  of the services  required to be  performed by the
Investment Adviser under its investment advisory agreement with the Fund and the
expenses of the Investment Adviser will  not necessarily be reduced as a  result
of  the receipt of such supplemental information. Such information may be useful
to the Investment Adviser in providing services to clients other than the  Fund.
Conversely,  such information provided to the  Investment Adviser by brokers and
dealers through whom other clients  of the Investment Adviser effect  securities
transactions  may be useful  to the Investment Adviser  in providing services to
the Fund.

    Consistent with the  rules and  regulations of the  National Association  of
Securities  Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"), the Investment Adviser may also consider
distribution of Fund shares when allocating Fund portfolio transactions  between
or among brokers and dealers that otherwise offer best price and execution.

    The  Fund  will not  purchase securities  from, or  sell securities  to, the
Investment Adviser.

    Certain other clients of the  Investment Adviser have investment  objectives
and policies similar to those of the Fund. The Investment Adviser may, from time
to  time,  make  recommendations  that  result in  the  purchase  or  sale  of a
particular  investment   by   its   other  clients   simultaneously   with   the

                                       8
<PAGE>
Fund.  If transactions on behalf of more  than one client during the same period
increase the  demand  for the  investments  being  purchased or  the  supply  of
investments  being sold, there may be an adverse effect on price or quantity. In
addition, it is possible that the number of options or futures transactions that
the Fund  may enter  into may  be affected  by options  or futures  transactions
entered  into by other investment advisory clients of the Investment Adviser. It
is the policy of the Investment Adviser to allocate advisory recommendations and
the placing of orders  in a manner  that is deemed  equitable by the  Investment
Adviser  to the accounts involved,  including the Fund. When  two or more of the
clients of the Investment Adviser (including the Fund) are purchasing or selling
the same security on  a given day  from, to or  through the same  broker-dealer,
such transactions may be averaged as to price.

                             MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND

    The  Company's Board of Directors is  responsible for the overall management
and operation  of  the  Fund.  The  Fund's  officers  are  responsible  for  the
day-to-day  operations of the Fund under  the supervision of the Company's Board
of Directors.

INVESTMENT ADVISER

    Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Fund (the  "Investment
Advisory  Agreement"), the  Investment Adviser  serves as  the Fund's investment
adviser and, as such,  is responsible for the  overall management of the  Fund's
investment  portfolio. The Investment Adviser was incorporated in December 1982.
As of November 30, 1995, the Investment Adviser managed approximately $3 billion
of assets for The Jundt Growth Fund, Inc. and 21 institutional clients.

    The Investment Adviser is a growth-oriented manager. The Investment  Adviser
believes  that the  U.S. economy,  due to  its heterogeneous  nature and immense
size, provides  investors with  significant growth  opportunities. In  selecting
investments,   the  Investment  Adviser   emphasizes  fundamental  prospects  of
individual companies rather than macroeconomic trends.

    Under the  Investment  Advisory  Agreement, the  Fund  pays  the  Investment
Adviser  a monthly fee equal  on an annual basis to  1.00% of the Fund's average
daily net assets. This fee  is higher than the advisory  fee paid by most  other
investment companies.

    James  R. Jundt serves  as director, Chairman of  the Board, Chief Executive
Officer and Secretary of the Investment Adviser and beneficially owns 76% of the
Investment Adviser's capital stock. Mary Joann Jundt, wife of James R. Jundt, is
the trustee of  a trust that  beneficially owns 4%  of the Investment  Adviser's
capital  stock. The current beneficiaries  of the trust are  the children of Mr.
and Mrs. Jundt  (including Marcus E.  Jundt, Vice  Chairman of the  Board and  a
director  of the Investment Adviser) and the  issue of such children. Mrs. Jundt
votes the  shares  owned by  the  trust. The  remaining  20% of  the  Investment
Adviser's capital stock is beneficially owned by Gail M. Knappenberger, formerly
a director and officer of the Investment Adviser.

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS

    The  Investment Adviser has  no formal investment  committee. All investment
decisions are made by one or more  of the firm's four portfolio managers  (James
R.  Jundt,  Donald  M.  Longlet,  Thomas L.  Press  and  Marcus  E.  Jundt). The
Investment  Adviser  places  significant  emphasis  on  the  team  approach   in
conducting  its portfolio  management activities. The  portfolio managers confer
frequently throughout the typical business  day as to investment  opportunities,
and  most  investment  decisions  are made  after  consultation  with  the other
portfolio managers.

ADMINISTRATOR

    Under   the  terms   of  an   Administration  Agreement   between  Princeton
Administrators, L.P.  (the "Administrator")  and the  Fund (the  "Administration
Agreement"),  the  Administrator performs  or  arranges for  the  performance of
certain administrative services (I.E., services other than investment advice and
related  portfolio  activities)  necessary  for  the  operation  of  the   Fund,
including,  but not limited to, maintaining certain  of the books and records of
the Fund, preparing or reviewing certain reports and other documents required by
United States  federal,  state and  other  applicable laws  and  regulations  to
maintain the registration of the Fund and its shares and providing the Fund with
administrative  office facilities. For the services rendered to the Fund and the

THE DISTRIBUTOR; RULE 12B-1 DISTRIBUTION PLANS

    Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement  between the Distributor and the  Fund,
the  Distributor serves as the principal underwriter of each Class of the Fund's
shares. Additionally, the Fund has  adopted Distribution Plans pursuant to  Rule
12b-1  under the Investment Company Act with respect to its Class B, Class C and
Class D shares, pursuant to which  each such Class pays the Distributor  certain
fees  in connection  with the  distribution of shares  of such  Class and/or the
maintenance of shareholder accounts.

    Under its Distribution Plan, each of Class  B, Class C and Class D pays  the
Distributor  a Rule 12b-1 "account maintenance fee"  equal on an annual basis to
 .25% of  the average  daily net  assets attributable  to each  such Class.  This
account  maintenance fee is  designed to compensate  the Distributor and certain
broker-dealers and financial institutions with which the Distributor has entered
into selling arrangements for the provision  of certain services to the  holders
of  Fund shares, including, but not limited to, answering shareholder questions,
providing shareholders with reports and other information and providing  various
other services relating to the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

    The  Distribution Plans of  Class B and  Class C provide  for the additional
payment of  a Rule  12b-1 "distribution  fee" to  the Distributor,  equal on  an
annual  basis to .75% of the average  daily net assets attributable to each such
Class. This  fee is  designed  to compensate  the Distributor  for  advertising,
marketing  and  distributing  the Class  B  and  Class C  shares,  including the
provision of initial and ongoing  sales compensation to the Distributor's  sales
representatives  and  to other  broker-dealers  and financial  institutions with
which the Distributor has entered into selling arrangements.

TRANSFER AGENT, DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT AND CUSTODIAN; SUBACCOUNTING AGENTS

    Investors Fiduciary Trust  Company (the "Transfer  Agent"), 1004  Baltimore,
Kansas  City Missouri  64105, serves as  the Fund's transfer  agent and dividend
disbursing agent. Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., Norwest Center, 90 South Seventh
Street, Minneapolis,  Minnesota  55402,  serves  as  the  Fund's  custodian.  In
addition,  the Fund compensates certain broker-dealers that sell Fund shares for
performing various accounting and administrative services with respect to  large
street-name accounts maintained by such broker-dealers.

                             HOW TO BUY FUND SHARES

ALTERNATIVE PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS

    The Fund offers investors the choice among three Classes of shares (Class B,
Class  C and  Class D)  which offer different  sales charges  and bear different
expenses. (THE FUND'S CLASS A SHARES ARE OFFERED FOR SALE EXCLUSIVELY TO CERTAIN
SPECIFIED INVESTORS AND ARE NOT OFFERED  FOR SALE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.)  These
alternatives  permit an investor to choose  the method of purchasing shares that
is most beneficial  given the amount  of the  purchase, the length  of time  the
investor expects to hold the shares and other circumstances.

    As  more fully set forth below, a broker-dealer or financial institution may
receive different levels of compensation depending upon which Class of shares is
sold. In addition, the Distributor from time to time may pay certain  additional
cash  incentives of  up to  $100 and/or  non cash  incentives to  its investment
executives and other broker-dealers and financial institutions in  consideration
of  their sales of Fund shares. In  some instances, other incentives may be made
available only to selected broker-dealers  and financial institutions, based  on
objective  standards developed  by the  Distributor, to  the exclusion  of other
broker-dealers and  financial institutions.  The Distributor  in its  discretion

                                       11
<PAGE>
may  from time to  time, pursuant to  objective criteria established  by it, pay
fees to  qualifying brokers,  dealers or  financial intermediaries  for  certain
services  or activities which are primarily intended  to result in sales of Fund
shares.

GENERAL PURCHASE INFORMATION

    The minimum  initial  investment  is  $1,000,  and  the  minimum  additional
investment  is $50.  The Fund  may waive  or reduce  these minimums  for certain
retirement and employee savings plans or  custodial accounts for the benefit  of
minors.  The Fund's shares may be purchased  at their public offering price (see
below) from the Distributor, from the Transfer Agent, from other  broker-dealers
who  are  members  of  the  NASD  and  who  have  selling  agreements  with  the
Distributor,  and  from  certain   financial  institutions  that  have   selling
agreements with the Distributor.

    When purchasing Fund shares, investors must specify which Class of shares is
being  purchased.  If  no  Class  is specified,  the  order  will  be  deemed an
investment in Class D shares. No share certificates will be issued by the Fund.

    Banks, acting as  agents for their  customers and  not for the  Fund or  the
Distributor, from time to time may purchase Fund shares for the accounts of such
customers.  Generally, the Glass-Steagall  Act prohibits banks  from engaging in
the business of  underwriting, selling  or distributing  securities. Should  the
activities of any bank, acting as agent for its customers in connection with the
purchase  of the  Fund's shares,  be deemed  to violate  the Glass-Steagall Act,
management will take whatever action, if any, is appropriate in order to provide
efficient services  for  the Fund.  Fund  management  does not  believe  that  a
termination  in  the relationship  with any  bank would  result in  any material
adverse consequences to  the Fund. In  addition, state securities  laws on  this
issue  may  differ  and banks  and  financial  institutions may  be  required to
register as  dealers pursuant  to state  law. Fund  shares are  not deposits  or
obligations  of, or guaranteed or  endorsed by, any bank  and are not insured or
guaranteed by the U.S.  Government, the FDIC, the  Federal Reserve Board or  any
other federal agency.

    When  orders are placed  for shares of  the Fund, the  public offering price
used for the purchase  will be the  net asset value  per share next  determined,
plus  the  applicable sales  charge,  if any.  If an  order  is placed  with the
Distributor  or  other  broker-dealer,  the  broker-dealer  is  responsible  for
promptly transmitting the order to the Fund.

    Shares  of the Fund may be purchased by opening an account either by mail or
by phone. Shares are deemed to be  purchased as of the time of determination  of
the Fund's net asset value on the day the purchase order for the purchase of its
shares is received in good form and accepted by the Fund.

    An  investor who may  be interested in having  shares redeemed shortly after
purchase should  consider making  unconditional payment  by certified  check  or
other  means  approved  in advance  by  the Distributor.  Payment  of redemption
proceeds will be  delayed as long  as necessary to  verify by expeditious  means
that  the purchase payment  has been or  will be collected.  Such period of time
typically will not exceed 15 days.

    AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN.   Investors  may make  systematic investments  in
fixed  amounts automatically  on a  monthly basis  through the  Fund's Automatic
Investment Plan. Additional information is available from the Distributor.

CLASS B SHARES -- CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ALTERNATIVE

    The  public offering price  of Class B shares  of the Fund  is the net asset
value of the Fund's  shares. Class B  shares are sold  without an initial  sales
charge  so that the  Fund receives the  full amount of  the investor's purchase.
However, a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of up to 4% will be imposed
if shares are redeemed within six years of purchase. For additional information,
see "How  to  Redeem  Fund  Shares --  Contingent  Deferred  Sales  Charge."  In
addition,  Class B  shares are  subject to higher  Rule 12b-1  fees as described
below. The CDSC will depend on the number of years since the purchase was  made,
according  to the following table, and will  be calculated on an amount equal to
the lesser of the net asset value of the shares at the time of purchase or their
net asset value at the time of redemption.

</TABLE>

    Proceeds from the CDSC are  paid to the Distributor  and are used to  defray
expenses  of the Distributor related  to providing distribution-related services
to the Fund in connection with the sale  of Class B shares, such as the  payment
of  compensation to selected broker-dealers, and for selling Class B shares. The
combination of the CDSC and the Rule 12b-1 fee enable the Fund to sell the Class
B shares without deduction of a sales  charge at the time of purchase.  Although
Class B shares

                                       13
<PAGE>
are  sold  without  an  initial  sales  charge,  the  Distributor  pays  a sales
commission equal to 4% of the amount invested to broker-dealers who sell Class B
shares and an annual fee of 0.25%  of the amount invested that begins to  accrue
one  year after the  shares are sold. Orders  for Class B  shares of $250,000 or
more will be treated as orders for Class D shares or declined.

    RULE 12B-1  FEES.   Class  B shares  are subject  to  a Rule  12b-1  account
maintenance  fee payable  at an  annual rate  of .25%  of the  average daily net
assets of the Fund attributable to Class B shares and a Rule 12b-1  distribution
fee  payable  at  an  annual  rate  of .75%  of  the  average  daily  net assets
attributable to Class B  shares. The higher  Rule 12b-1 fee  will cause Class  B
shares  to have a higher  expense ratio and to pay  lower dividends than Class D
shares. For additional information about this  fee, see "Management of the  Fund
- -- The Distributor; Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plans."

    CONVERSION  FEATURE.  On  the "designated conversion date"  (the 15th day of
each month, or  the next business  day if the  15th day is  not a business  day)
following  the eighth anniversary of their sale, Class B shares (including a pro
rata portion of the shares of the Fund received in connection with dividend  and
distribution  reinvestments) will  automatically convert  to Class  D shares and
will no longer be subject to the higher Rule 12b-1 fees attributable to Class  B
shares. Such conversion will be on the basis of the relative net asset values of
the  two Classes. Class D shares issued upon such conversion will not be subject
to any FESC or CDSC. Class B  shares acquired by exercise of the  "reinstatement
privilege"  will convert into Class  D shares based on  the time of the original
purchase of Class  B shares.  See "How to  Redeem Fund  Shares --  Reinstatement
Privilege."  The conversion of Class B shares  into Class D shares is subject to
the continuing availability of a ruling  from the Internal Revenue Service  that
payment  of different dividends by each of the Classes of shares does not result
in the Fund's dividends  or distributions constituting "preferential  dividends"
under  the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and that such
conversions do not constitute taxable events for federal tax purposes. There can
be no  assurance  that  such ruling  will  continue  to be  available,  and  the
conversion  of Class B shares into Class D  shares will not occur if such ruling
is not available at the time of conversion. In such event, Class B shares  would
continue  to be subject to higher expenses than Class D shares for an indefinite
period.

CLASS C SHARES -- LEVEL LOAD ALTERNATIVE

    The public offering price  of Class C  shares of the Fund  is the net  asset
value  of the Fund's  shares. Class C  shares are sold  without an initial sales
charge so that  the Fund receives  the full amount  of the investor's  purchase.
However,  a CDSC of 1% will be imposed if shares are redeemed within one year of
purchase. For  additional  information,  see  "How  to  Redeem  Fund  Shares  --
Contingent  Deferred Sales Charge."  In addition, Class C  shares are subject to
higher annual Rule 12b-1 fees as described below.

    Proceeds from the CDSC are  paid to the Distributor  and are used to  defray
expenses  of the Distributor related  to providing distribution-related services
to the Fund in connection with the sale  of Class C shares, such as the  payment
of  compensation to selected broker-dealers, and for selling Class C shares. The
combination of the CDSC and the Rule 12b-1 fee enable the Fund to sell the Class
C shares without deduction of a sales  charge at the time of purchase.  Although
Class  C shares are sold without an initial sales charge, the Distributor pays a
sales commission equal  to 1.00% of  the amount invested  to broker-dealers  who
sell  Class C shares at the time the shares  are sold and an annual fee of 1.00%
of the amount invested that begins to accrue one year after the shares are sold.

    RULE 12B-1  FEES.   Class  C shares  are subject  to  a Rule  12b-1  account
maintenance  fee payable  at an  annual rate  of .25%  of the  average daily net
assets   of    the   Fund    attributable   to    Class   C    shares   and    a

                                       14
<PAGE>
Rule  12b-1 distribution fee  payable at an  annual rate of  .75% of the average
daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. The higher Rule 12b-1 fee  will
cause  Class C shares to have a higher  expense ratio and to pay lower dividends
than Class D shares. For additional information about this fee, see  "Management
of the Fund -- Distributor; Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plans."

    As  between Class  B and  Class C  shares, an  investor that  anticipates an
investment in the Fund of longer than  six years (the CDSC period applicable  to
Class  B shares) would  conclude that Class  B shares are  preferable to Class C
shares because the Class B shares  will automatically convert to Class D  shares
(to  which lower Rule 12b-1 fees apply)  after eight years. However, an investor
with an anticipated investment  time frame of  less than six  years (or with  an
uncertain  time  frame) may  choose Class  C  shares because  of the  larger and
longer-term CDSC applicable to Class B shares.

CLASS D SHARES -- INITIAL SALES CHARGE ALTERNATIVE

    The public  offering price  of Class  D shares  of the  Fund is  their  next
determined  net asset value plus the applicable  FESC. The Fund receives the net
asset value.  The FESC  varies depending  on the  size of  the purchase  and  is
allocated  between the  Distributor and  other broker-dealers.  The current FESC
schedule is as follows:

- ------------------------
*   On any sale of Class D shares to an investor in the amount of $1 million  or
    more,  the Distributor will pay  the dealer a commission  equal to 1% of the
    amount of that sale that  is less than $2.5 million,  .50% of the amount  of
    the sale that equals or exceeds $2.5 million but is less than $5 million and
    .25%  of the sale that equals or exceeds $5 million. Although such purchases
    are not subject  to a FESC,  a CDSC  of 1% will  be imposed at  the time  of
    redemption  if redeemed within one  year. See "How to  Redeem Fund Shares --
    Contingent Deferred Sales Charge."

    In connection  with the  distribution  of the  Fund's  Class D  shares,  the
Distributor  receives all  applicable sales  charges. The  Distributor, in turn,
pays other broker-dealers selling such shares the "dealer reallowance" set forth
above and an annual fee  of 0.25% of the amount  invested that begins to  accrue
one  year after the shares are sold. In the event that shares are purchased by a
financial institution acting as agent for its customers, the Distributor or  the
broker-dealer  with whom such order was placed may pay all or part of its dealer
reallowance to such financial institution in accordance with agreements  between
such parties.

    SPECIAL  PURCHASE PLANS  -- REDUCED  SALES CHARGES.   Certain  investors (or
groups of investors)  may qualify for  reductions in, or  waivers of, the  sales
charges  shown above. Investors  should contact their  broker-dealer or the Fund
for   details    about    the   Combined    Purchase    Privilege,    Cumulative

                                       15
<PAGE>
Quantity  Discount and Letter of Intention plans. Descriptions are also included
in the authorization form and in the Statement of Additional Information.  These
special  purchase  plans  may  be  amended or  eliminated  at  any  time  by the
Distributor without notice to existing Fund shareholders.

    RULE 12B-1  FEES.   Class  D shares  are subject  to  a Rule  12b-1  account
maintenance  fee payable  at an  annual rate  of .25%  of the  average daily net
assets of the Fund  attributable to Class D  shares. For additional  information
about  this fee,  see "Management  of the  Fund --  The Distributor;  Rule 12b-1
Distribution Plans."

    WAIVER OF SALES CHARGES.  Class D shares will be issued at net asset  value,
and  not subject to a FESC or CDSC, if  the purchase of such shares is funded by
the proceeds from the redemption of shares of any unrelated open-end  investment
company  that charges a sales  charge. In order to  exercise this privilege, the
purchase order must be received by the Fund within 60 days after the  redemption
of  shares of  the unrelated  investment company.  Class D  shares also  will be
issued at their  net asset  value, and not  subject to  a FESC or  CDSC, to  the
following categories of investors:

    - Investment  executives and other employees of broker-dealers and financial
      institutions that have  entered into agreements  with the Distributor  for
      the  distribution of Fund shares, and parents and immediate family members
      of such persons.

    - Trust companies and bank trust departments for funds held in a  fiduciary,
      agency, advisory, custodial or similar capacity.

    - States   and   their   political   subdivisions,   and  instrumentalities,
      departments, authorities  and  agencies  of  states  and  their  political
      subdivisions.

    - Registered investment advisers and their investment advisory clients.

    - Employee  benefit plans qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, (which
      does not include Individual  Retirement Accounts), and custodial  accounts
      under   Section  403(b)(7)  of  the  Code  (also  known  as  tax-sheltered
      annuities).

                           HOW TO REDEEM FUND SHARES

    The Fund will redeem  its shares in  cash at the net  asset value per  share
next  determined after receipt of a shareholder's written request for redemption
in good order.  If shares  for which payment  has been  collected are  redeemed,
payment  will be  made within  three days. Shareholders  that own  more than one
Class of the Fund's shares should clearly specify the Class or Classes of shares
being redeemed.

    The Fund imposes no charges (other than any applicable CDSC) when shares are
redeemed directly  through  the Transfer  Agent.  Service agents  may  charge  a
nominal  fee for effecting redemptions of  Fund shares. It is the responsibility
of each service agent to transmit  redemption orders to the Transfer Agent.  The
value  of shares redeemed may be more or less than their original cost depending
upon the then-current net asset value of the Class being redeemed.

    The Fund may suspend this right of redemption and may postpone payment  only
when  the New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than customary weekends or
holidays, or if permitted by the rules of the SEC during periods when trading on
the New York Stock Exchange is restricted or during

                                       16
<PAGE>
any emergency  which makes  it impracticable  for  the Fund  to dispose  of  its
securities  or to  determine fairly the  value of  its net assets  or during any
other period permitted by order of the SEC for the protection of investors.

    Although the Fund has  no current intention of  doing so, the Fund  reserves
the  right to redeem its shares in kind.  However, the Fund will pay in cash all
redemption requests by any shareholder that, during any 90-day period, amount to
no more than  the lesser of:  (a) $250,000; or  (b) 1% of  the Fund's net  asset
value at the beginning of such 90-day period. If a redemption were made in kind,
a  shareholder  would incur  transaction costs  in  disposing of  any securities
received.

    The Fund  expects to  redeem all  of  the shares  of any  shareholder  whose
account  has remained below  $1,000 as a  result of redemptions  for at least 60
days after the mailing to the shareholder of a "notice of intention to redeem".

CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE

    The CDSC will  be calculated on  an amount equal  to the lesser  of the  net
asset  value of the shares at  the time of purchase or  their net asset value at
the time of redemption. No CDSC will be imposed on any redeemed shares that have
been held for longer than the applicable CDSC period or to the extent the  value
of  any redeemed  shares represents reinvestment  of dividends  or capital gains
distributions or capital appreciation of shares redeemed.

    In  determining  whether  a  CDSC  is  applicable  to  any  redemption,  the
calculation  will be determined  in the manner  that results in  the lowest rate
being charged. Therefore, it will be assumed that a redemption of Class B shares
is made first of shares representing reinvestment of dividends and capital gains
distributions and  then of  remaining shares  held by  the shareholder  for  the
longest  period of time. If a shareholder owns  Class B and Class D shares, then
absent a shareholder choice  to the contrary,  Class B shares  not subject to  a
CDSC  will be  redeemed in full  prior to any  redemption of Class  D shares not
subject to a CDSC.

    The CDSC does not apply to: (a)  redemption of shares when a Fund  exercises
its  right to liquidate accounts  which are less than  the minimum account size;
(b) redemptions  in the  event of  the death  or disability  of the  shareholder
within  the  meaning  of  Section  72(m)(7) of  the  Code;  and  (c) redemptions
representing a  minimum  required  distribution from  an  individual  retirement
account processed under a systematic withdrawal plan.

REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGE

    The  Distributor,  upon notification,  intends to  provide,  out of  its own
assets, a pro rata refund  of any CDSC paid in  connection with a redemption  of
shares  of  the Fund  (by  crediting such  refunded  CDSC to  such shareholder's
account) if,  within 90  days of  such redemption,  all or  any portion  of  the
redemption  proceeds are reinvested in shares of the same Class of the Fund. Any
reinvestment within 90 days of a redemption  with respect to which the CDSC  was
paid  will be made without the imposition of  an FESC but will be subject to the
same CDSC to which  such amount was  subject prior to  the redemption. The  CDSC
period  will run from  the original investment  date of the  redeemed shares but
will be extended  by the  number of  days between  the redemption  date and  the
reinvestment date.

EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE

    Except  as described below,  shareholders may exchange some  or all of their
Fund shares for shares of The Jundt Growth Fund, Inc., provided that the  shares
to  be acquired in the exchange are eligible for sale in the shareholder's state
of  residence.   Class   B   shareholders  may   exchange   their   shares   for

                                       17
<PAGE>
Class B shares of The Jundt Growth Fund, Inc., Class C shareholders may exchange
their  shares for  Class C  shares of The  Jundt Growth  Fund, Inc.  and Class D
shareholders may exchange their shares for Class D shares (or Class A shares, if
the shareholder is  eligible to  purchase Class A  shares) of  The Jundt  Growth
Fund, Inc.

    The  minimum amount which may be exchanged is $1,000. The Fund and The Jundt
Growth Fund, Inc. will  execute the exchange  on the basis  of the relative  net
asset  values  next  determined after  receipt  by  the Fund.  If  a shareholder
exchanges shares of the Fund that are subject to a CDSC for shares of The  Jundt
Growth  Fund, Inc., the transaction will not be subject to a CDSC. However, when
shares acquired  through the  exchange  are redeemed,  the shareholder  will  be
treated  as if no exchange  took place for the  purpose of determining the CDSC.
There is no  specific time  limit on exchange  frequency; however,  the Fund  is
intended  for long term investment and not  as a trading vehicle. The Investment
Adviser reserves the right to prohibit  excessive exchanges (more than four  per
quarter).  The Distributor  reserves the right,  upon 60 days'  prior notice, to
restrict the frequency of, or  otherwise modify, condition, terminate or  impose
charges upon, exchanges. An exchange is considered a sale of shares on which the
investor  may  realize  a  capital  gain or  loss  for  income  tax  purposes. A
shareholder may  place exchange  requests directly  with the  Fund, through  the
Distributor or through other broker-dealers. An investor considering an exchange
should  obtain a prospectus of The Jundt  Growth Fund, Inc. and should read such
prospectus carefully. Contact  the Fund, the  Distributor or any  of such  other
broker-dealers for further information about the exchange privilege.

EXPEDITED REDEMPTIONS

    The  Fund offers  several expedited redemption  procedures, described below,
which allow a shareholder to redeem Fund shares at net asset value determined on
the same day  that the shareholder  placed the request  for redemption of  those
shares.  Pursuant to  these expedited  redemption procedures,  the Fund's shares
will be redeemed at their net  asset value next determined following the  Fund's
receipt  of the redemption request.  The Fund reserves the  right at any time to
suspend or terminate the expedited redemption procedures or to impose a fee  for
this service. There is currently no additional charge to the shareholder for use
of the Fund's expedited redemption procedures.

    EXPEDITED  TELEPHONE REDEMPTION.  Shareholders redeeming at least $1,000 and
no more than $25,000 of  shares may redeem by  telephoning the Fund directly  at
(800)  370-0612. The applicable section of the authorization form must have been
completed by  the shareholder  and  filed with  the  Fund before  the  telephone
request  is received. The Fund will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that
telephone instructions are  genuine, including  requiring that  payment be  made
only to the shareholder's address of record or to the bank account designated on
the authorization form and requiring certain means of telephonic identification.
If  the Fund fails  to employ such procedures,  it may be  liable for any losses
suffered by shareholders as a result of fraudulent instructions. The proceeds of
the redemption will  be paid  by check mailed  to the  shareholder's address  of
record  or,  if  requested  at the  time  of  redemption, by  wire  to  the bank
designated on the authorization form.

    EXPEDITED   REDEMPTIONS   THROUGH    CERTAIN   BROKER-DEALERS.       Certain
broker-dealers  who have sales  agreements with the  Distributor may allow their
customers to effect  an expedited  redemption of  shares of  the Fund  purchased
through  such a  broker-dealer by notifying  the broker-dealer of  the amount of
shares to  be  redeemed. The  broker-dealer  is then  responsible  for  promptly
placing  the redemption request with the  Fund on the customer's behalf. Payment
will be made  to the shareholder  by check  or wire sent  to the  broker-dealer.
Broker-dealers offering this service may impose a fee or additional requirements
for such redemptions.

MONTHLY CASH WITHDRAWAL PLAN

    An investor who owns or buys shares of the Fund valued at $10,000 or more at
the  current offering price may open a Withdrawal Plan and have a designated sum
of money paid monthly to the investor or another person. The applicable CDSC may
apply to monthly redemptions  of Class B  or Class C  shares. See "Monthly  Cash
Withdrawal Plan" in the Statement of Additional Information.

                        DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

    The  net asset value of  each Class of the  Fund's shares is determined once
daily as  of 15  minutes after  the  close of  business on  the New  York  Stock
Exchange  (generally 4:00 p.m., New York time)  on each day during which the New
York Stock Exchange  is open for  trading. Any assets  or liabilities  initially
expressed  in  terms  of non-U.S.  dollar  currencies are  translated  into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing market rates as quoted by one or more banks or dealers
on the day of valuation. The net asset value is computed by dividing the  market
value  of  the  securities  held by  the  Fund  plus any  cash  or  other assets
(including interest  and  dividends accrued  but  not yet  received)  minus  all
liabilities   (including  accrued  expenses)  by  the  total  number  of  shares
outstanding at such time. Expenses, including  but not limited to the fees  paid
to  the Investment  Adviser and  the Administrator  and any  account maintenance
and/or distribution fees payable to the Distributor, are accrued daily.

    Portfolio securities which are traded  on a national securities exchange  or
on  the NASDAQ National Market System are valued  at the last sale price on such
exchange or  market as  of  the close  of business  on  the date  of  valuation.
Securities  traded on a  national securities exchange or  on the NASDAQ National
Market System  for which  there  were no  sales on  the  date of  valuation  and
securities traded on other over-the-counter markets, including listed securities
for  which the primary market is believed  to be over-the-counter, are valued at
the mean between  the most  recently quoted bid  and asked  prices. Options  are
valued  at market value or fair value if no market exists. Futures contracts are
valued in a  like manner,  except that open  futures contract  sales are  valued
using  the closing settlement price or, in the absence of such a price, the most
recent quoted asked price. Securities and assets for which market quotations are
not readily available are valued  at fair value as  determined in good faith  by
the Company's Board of Directors or by the Investment Adviser in accordance with
policies  and  procedures  established  by  the  Company's  Board  of Directors.
Short-term investments that mature  in 60 days or  less are valued at  amortized
cost, which approximates fair value.

                       DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

    Substantially  all  of  the Fund's  net  realized gains  and  net investment
income,  if  any,  will  be   paid  to  shareholders  annually.  Dividends   and
distributions  may be  taken in cash  or automatically  reinvested in additional
Fund shares (of the same Class of shares as the shares to which the dividends or
distributions relate) at net asset value on the ex-dividend date. Dividends  and
distributions  will be automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares unless
the shareholder has elected in writing to receive dividends and distributions in
cash.

                                       19
<PAGE>
TAXES

    The Fund  intends  to qualify  as  a "regulated  investment  company"  under
Subchapter  M of  the Code.  If so qualified,  the Fund  will not  be subject to
federal income taxes to the extent its earnings are timely distributed. The Fund
also intends  to  make  distributions as  required  by  the Code  to  avoid  the
imposition of the 4% federal excise taxes.

    The  Fund will distribute substantially all of its net investment income and
net capital gains to  investors. Distributions to  shareholders from the  Fund's
income and short-term capital gains are taxed as dividends (as ordinary income),
and  long-term capital gain distributions are  taxed as long-term capital gains.
Distributions of long-term  capital gains  will be  taxable to  the investor  as
long-term  capital gains regardless of  the length of time  the shares have been
held. A portion of the Fund's  dividends may qualify for the dividends  received
deduction  for corporations. The Fund's distributions  are taxable when they are
paid, whether a shareholder takes them  in cash or reinvests them in  additional
Fund  shares, except that  dividends and distributions  declared in December but
paid in January are  taxable as if  paid on or before  December 31. The  federal
income  tax  status  of  all  distributions  will  be  reported  to shareholders
annually. In addition to federal  income taxes, dividends and distributions  may
also  be subject to state  or local taxes, and  if the shareholder lives outside
the United States, the  dividends and distributions could  also be taxed by  the
country in which the shareholder resides.

"BUYING A DIVIDEND"

    On  the ex-dividend  date for  a dividend or  distribution by  the Fund, its
share price is  reduced by the  amount of  the dividend or  distribution. If  an
investor  purchases shares of the  Fund on or before  the record date ("buying a
dividend"), the investor will pay the full price for the shares (which  includes
realized  but  undistributed  earnings  and  capital  gains  of  the  Fund  that
accumulate throughout the  year), and  then receive  a portion  of the  purchase
price back in the form of a taxable distribution.

OTHER TAX INFORMATION

    Under federal tax law, some shareholders may be subject to a 31% withholding
on  reportable dividends,  capital gains  distributions and  redemption payments
("backup withholding"). Generally,  shareholders subject  to backup  withholding
will  be those for whom a taxpayer identification number is not on file with the
Fund or any  of its  agents or  who, to the  Fund's or  agent's knowledge,  have
furnished  an incorrect number. In order  to avoid this withholding requirement,
investors must  certify  that the  taxpayer  identification number  provided  is
correct  and that the investment is not otherwise subject to backup withholding,
or is exempt from backup withholding.

    THE FOREGOING TAX  DISCUSSION IS  GENERAL IN  NATURE, AND  EACH INVESTOR  IS
ADVISED  TO CONSULT HIS  OR HER TAX  ADVISER REGARDING SPECIFIC  QUESTIONS AS TO
FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAXATION.

                            PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

    Advertisements  and  communications  to  shareholders  may  contain  various
measures  of  the Fund's  performance,  including various  expressions  of total
return. Additionally, such  advertisements and  communications may  occasionally
cite  statistics to reflect the Fund's  volatility or risk. Performance for each
Class of the  Fund's shares may  be calculated  on the basis  of average  annual
total  return and/or total return. These total return figures reflect changes in
the price of  the shares  and assume that  any income  dividends and/or  capital
gains    distributions    made    by    the    Fund    during    the   measuring

                                       20
<PAGE>
period  were  reinvested  in  shares  of  the  same  Class.  The  Fund  presents
performance  information for  each Class  of shares  commencing with  the Fund's
inception. Class  D average  annual  total return  figures reflect  the  maximum
initial  FESC (but do not  reflect the imposition of  any CDSC upon redemption),
and Class  B  and  Class C  average  annual  total return  figures  reflect  any
applicable CDSC. Performance for each Class is calculated separately.

    Average annual total return is calculated pursuant to a standardized formula
which assumes that an investment was purchased with an initial payment of $1,000
and  that the  investment was redeemed  at the end  of a stated  period of time,
after giving effect to  the reinvestment of  dividends and distributions  during
the  period. The return is expressed as a percentage rate which, if applied on a
compounded annual basis, would result in the redeemable value of the  investment
at  the end of the period. Advertisements  of the Fund's performance will cover,
when available, one, five and ten-year periods, as well as the time period since
the inception of the Fund.

    Total return is computed on a  per share basis and assumes the  reinvestment
of  dividends  and  distributions.  Total return  generally  is  expressed  as a
percentage rate  which  is calculated  by  combining the  income  and  principal
changes  for a specified period  and dividing by the  maximum offering price per
share (in the case of Class D shares)  or the net asset value per share (in  the
case   of  Class  B  or  Class  C  shares)  at  the  beginning  of  the  period.
Advertisements may include the  percentage rate of total  return or may  include
the  value of a hypothetical  investment at the end  of the period which assumes
the application of the percentage rate of total return. Total return also may be
calculated by using the net asset value per share at the beginning of the period
instead of the maximum offering price per  share at the beginning of the  period
for  Class D shares, or without giving effect  to any applicable CDSC at the end
of the period for Class B or Class C shares. Calculations based on the net asset
value per share  do not  reflect the deduction  of the  applicable front-end  or
contingent   deferred  sales  charge  which,  if  reflected,  would  reduce  the
performance quoted.

    In each  case  performance figures  are  based upon  past  performance.  The
investment results of the Fund, like all others, will fluctuate over time; thus,
performance figures should not be considered to represent what an investment may
earn  in the  future or  what the  Fund's total  return or  average annual total
return may be in any period.

    The  Fund's  performance  from  time  to  time  in  reports  or  promotional
literature  may be  compared to generally  accepted indices or  analyses such as
those  published  by  Lipper  Analytical   Service,  Inc.,  Standard  &   Poor's
Corporation,  Dow  Jones &  Company,  Inc., CDA  Investment  Technologies, Inc.,
Morningstar, Inc. and Investment Company Data Incorporated. Performance  ratings
reported periodically in national financial publications also may be used.

    The  Fund's  Annual  Reports will  contain  certain  performance information
regarding the  Fund  and  will  be  made available  to  any  recipient  of  this
Prospectus upon request and without charge.

and strategies similar to those of the Fund. During the first year of the Fund's
operations, the  Investment  Adviser intends  to  quote, in  supplemental  sales
literature  that is accompanied  or preceded by  this Prospectus, the historical
performance (average annual  total return  and cumulative total  return) of  the
Emerging  Growth Portfolios. Such performance quotations will be net of advisory
fees paid  to  the  Investment Adviser,  but  will  not reflect  the  impact  of

                                       21

front-end  and deferred sales charges and custodial, Rule 12b-1, administrative,
transfer agency  and other  expenses that  will be  borne by  the Fund  and  its
shareholders.  Additionally,  any  such  historical  performance  should  not be
interpreted as an indication of future Fund performance.

    The following  table sets  forth the  average annual  total returns  of  the
Emerging  Growth Portfolios during the one, five and ten years ended October 31,
1995 and  for  the  period  from  the  inception  of  the  Investment  Adviser's
management of the Portfolios (January 1, 1983 through October 31, 1995), as well
as the cumulative total return of the Emerging Growth Portfolios from January 1,
1983  through October  31, 1995. Each  such performance  calculation is compared
with the performance over the same periods of time of the Standard & Poor's  500
Composite  Stock Price Index  (the "S&P 500  Index") and the  Lipper Growth Fund
Index.

(1) The  investment  performance  of the  Emerging  Growth  Portfolios  reflects
    investment  management fees and reinvested income dividends and capital gain
    distributions and excludes the impact  of any income taxes. Such  investment
    performance  does  not  reflect  administrative  fees  and  other  operating
    expenses that will be incurred by the Fund.

(2) The S&P 500 Index is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of market activity
    based on the aggregate performance of  a selected portfolio of 500  publicly
    traded   common  stocks,  including  monthly   adjustments  to  reflect  the
    reinvestment  of  dividends.  An  investor  could  not  purchase  securities
    represented  by  the S&P  500  Index without  incurring  certain transaction
    costs. The S&P  500 Index reflects  the total return,  including changes  in
    market  prices as well as accrued  investment income, but excludes brokerage
    commissions. Investment  income for  the  S&P 500  Index  is assumed  to  be
    reinvested.

    fees and other operating expenses paid  by such mutual funds and  reinvested
    income  dividends and capital gain distributions  and excludes the impact of
    any income taxes and sales charges.

                              GENERAL INFORMATION

    The Fund is  a professionally  managed, diversified series  of the  Company,
which  was incorporated under the laws of  the State of Minnesota on October 26,
1995. The Company is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act as
an open-end management  investment company. This  registration does not  involve
supervision  of  management or  investment policy  by an  agency of  the federal
government.

                                       22
<PAGE>
    The Company  currently offers  its shares  in one  Series (Series  A,  which
represent  interests in the  Fund) and the  Fund, in turn,  currently offers its
shares in  four Classes  (Class A,  Class B,  Class C  and Class  D), each  sold
pursuant  to different  sales arrangements  and bearing  different expenses. The
Company's Board of  Directors, without  shareholder approval,  is authorized  to
designate  additional Classes  of shares  in the  future; however,  the Board of
Directors has no present intention to do so. This Prospectus relates only to the
Fund's Class B, Class C and Class D shares, the only Classes offered for sale to
the general public. See "Purchase Information".

    Shares of each Class represent interests in the assets of the Fund and  have
identical  voting, dividend, liquidation and other  rights on the same terms and
conditions except that expenses  related to the distribution  of each Class  are
borne  solely by such Class and each Class of shares has exclusive voting rights
with respect to the  Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan  applicable to such Class  and
other  matters for which  separate Class voting  is appropriate under applicable
law. Additionally,  because Class  B shares  (if held  for the  applicable  time
period) automatically convert into Class D shares, any proposed amendment to the
Class  D  Rule 12b-1  Distribution  Plan that  would  increase the  fees payable
thereunder must be  approved by Class  D AND Class  B shareholders (each  voting
separately as a Class).

    The  Fund's shares  are freely  transferable, are  entitled to  dividends as
declared by the Company's Board of Directors, and, upon liquidation of the Fund,
are entitled to receive the net assets of the Fund.

    The Company's  Articles  of  Incorporation permit  the  Company's  Board  of
Directors,  without shareholder approval, to  create additional Series of shares
and to subdivide any Series into various Classes of shares with such rights  and
preferences  as the  Company's Board of  Directors may  designate. The Company's
Articles of  Incorporation provide  that each  share of  a Series  has one  vote
irrespective  of the relative  net asset values  of the shares.  On some issues,
such as the  election of  the Company's directors  and the  ratification of  the
Company's  independent auditors, all shares of  the Company vote together as one
Series. On an issue affecting only a  particular Series or Class, the shares  of
the  effected Series or Class vote as a  separate Series or Class. An example of
such an issue would be a  fundamental investment restriction pertaining to  only
one Series.

    The  assets received by the Company for the  issue or sale of shares of each
Series or Class, and all income, earnings, profits and proceeds thereof, subject
only to the rights of creditors, are  allocated to such Series, and in the  case
of  a Class, allocated  to such Class,  and constitute the  underlying assets of
such Series or Class. The underlying assets of each Series or Class are required
to be  segregated on  the books  of  account, and  are to  be charged  with  the
expenses  with respect to such Series or Class,  and with a share of the general
expenses of  the  Company. Any  general  expenses  of the  Company  not  readily
identifiable  as belonging  to a particular  Series or Class  shall be allocated
among the Series or Classes based upon the relative net assets of the Series  or
Class  at  the time  such  expenses were  accrued or  such  other method  as the
Company's Board of Directors, or the Investment Adviser with the supervision  of
the Company's Board of Directors, may determine.

    The  Company  is  not  required  under  Minnesota  law  to  hold  annual  or
periodically scheduled regular meetings of shareholders, and does not intend  to
hold  such meetings.  The Company's Board  of Directors  may convene shareholder
meetings when  it deems  appropriate  and is  required  under Minnesota  law  to
schedule  regular or  special meetings  in certain  circumstances. Additionally,
under Section  16(c) of  the  Investment Company  Act,  the Company's  Board  of
Directors must promptly call a

                                       23
<PAGE>
meeting  of shareholders for the purpose of  voting upon the question of removal
of any director when requested in writing to do so by the record holders of  not
less than ten percent of the Company's outstanding shares

    Under   Minnesota  law,  the  Company's   Board  of  Directors  has  overall
responsibility for managing the  Company in good faith,  in a manner  reasonably
believed  to be in the Company's best interests, and with the care an ordinarily
prudent person in a like position  would exercise in similar circumstances.  The
Company's  Articles  of  Incorporation  limit  the  liability  of  the Company's
officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

    The Company and the  Investment Adviser have adopted  a Code of Ethics  that
has  been  filed  with the  SEC  as  an exhibit  to  the  Company's Registration
Statement (of which  this Prospectus is  a part).  The Code of  Ethics does  not
permit  any director, officer or employee of the Company, the Investment Adviser
or the Distributor, other than the Company's directors and officers who are  not
interested  persons of  the Company, the  Investment Adviser  or the Distributor
(collectively, the  "Disinterested Directors  and  Officers"), to  purchase  any
security  in  which the  Fund  is permitted  to invest.  If  such person  owns a
security in  which, following  its purchase  by such  person, the  Fund  becomes
permitted to invest, the person would not be permitted to acquire any additional
interest in such security and must observe strict limitations in connection with
any  disposition  of such  security.  Disinterested Directors  and  Officers are
permitted to purchase and sell securities in which the Fund may invest, but  may
not  effect any purchase or sale at any time during which the Fund has a pending
buy or sell  order for  the same  security. Information  about how  the Code  of
Ethics  can  be inspected  or  copied at  the  SEC's public  reference  rooms or
obtained at  the SEC's  headquarters is  available through  the SEC's  toll-free
telephone number, (800) SEC-0330.

    For  a further discussion of the above matters, see "General Information" in
the Statement of Additional Information.

                    LETTER OF INTENTION AND TERMS OF ESCROW
                             (CLASS D SHARES ONLY)

    If  you estimate that  during the next 13  months you will  make a series of
purchases totaling an amount which qualifies for a reduced sales charge, you may
elect to take  advantage of  a Letter of  Intention. The  total investment  must
equal at least $25,000 in any class of Fund shares. The Letter of Intention does
not  obligate you  to make purchases  totaling a  given amount, nor  is the Fund
making a binding commitment to sell you the full amount of the shares indicated.

As soon as the Fund is informed that you have chosen to invest with a Letter  of
Intention,  each purchase can receive the  appropriate (lower) sales charge. You
or your dealer must inform us EACH TIME  that a purchase is made under a  Letter
of  Intention.  (Automatic  Investment  Plans  are  not  allowed  for  Letter of
Intention purchasers.) Your first purchase must be at least 5% of the Letter  of
Intention amount.

For  example, if you choose a Letter of Intention at the $100,000 level, you are
telling the Fund that you expect your purchases over the next 13 months to total
at least $100,000.  Your first purchase  must be at  least $5,000. Whenever  you
make  another purchase  and tell  the Fund  you have  a Letter  of Intention for
$100,000, you will be able to buy shares at the public offering price associated
with a single purchase of $100,000.

Reduced rates on large transactions are limited to the following: an  individual
or  a "company" as defined  in Section 2(a)(8) of  the Investment Company Act of
1940; an individual, his or  her spouse and their children  under the age of  21
purchasing  securities  for  their own  account;  a trustee  or  other fiduciary
purchasing securities  for a  single trust  estate or  single fiduciary  account
(including  a pension,  profit sharing or  other employee  benefit trust created
pursuant to a plan  qualified under Section 401  of the Internal Revenue  Code);
tax-exempt organizations enumerated in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code;  and any  organized group which  has been  in existence for  more than six
months, provided that it is not  organized for the purpose of buying  redeemable
securities of a registered investment company, and provided that the purchase is
made  through a central administration, or through  a single dealer, or by other
means which result in  economy of sales  effort or expense.  Such rates are  not
allowable  to  a group  of  individuals whose  funds  are combined,  directly or
indirectly, for the purchase of securities  or to the agent, custodian or  other
representative of such group.

Out  of your initial purchase or purchases, 5% of the dollar amount specified in
the Letter of  Intention shall  be held in  escrow by  the Fund in  the form  of
shares  computed at  the applicable public  offering price. For  example, if the
amount of this Letter of  Intention is $100,000 and  the offering price (at  the
time of the initial transaction) is $10 a share, 500 shares ($5,000 worth) would
be  held  in escrow.  All shares  purchased, including  those escrowed,  will be
registered in your name and recorded in the same account, which will be credited
fully with all income dividends and capital gain distributions declared. If  the
total  purchases equal or  exceed the amount  specified by you  as your expected
aggregate purchases, the escrowed shares will be delivered to you or credited to
your account. If total  purchases are less than  the amount specified, you  will
remit to the Fund an amount equal to the difference between the dollar amount of
sales  charges actually paid and the amount of sales charges you would have paid
on your aggregate purchases if  the total of such purchases  had been made at  a
single   time.  Neither  dividends  from  investment  income  nor  capital  gain
distributions taken in shares will apply toward the completion of this Letter of
Intention. The contingent  deferred sales  charge (and not  the front-end  sales
charge)  will apply to Letters of Intention  for $1,000,000 or more. See "How to
Redeem Fund  Shares --  Contingent  Deferred Sales  Charge" in  the  Prospectus.
However,  if total purchases pursuant to such  Letter of Intention are less than
$1,000,000 after a  period of  13 months  from the  date of  the first  credited
investment,  you will remit to  the Fund an amount  equal to the front-end sales
charge that would  have applied  if the  actual aggregate  amount invested  were
invested  at one  time, less  any contingent deferred  sales charge  paid on any
investment pursuant to such Letter of Intention redeemed during such period. The
Fund will prepare and mail a statement to you and your dealer or representative,
who shall  be  responsible for  notifying  you of  the  difference due  and  for
determining  from you whether you prefer to pay it in cash or have it liquidated
from the escrowed shares. If the Fund has not received a check within 21 days of
notification, it will be assumed that  the preferred method is liquidation.  The
Fund  will  redeem  a  number  of  escrowed  shares  sufficient  to  realize the
difference and release or deliver the remainder.

The Fund  is  hereby  irrevocably  appointed  your  attorney  to  surrender  for
redemption any or all escrowed shares under the conditions outlined above.

                                                                      APPENDIX A

            GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS AND RISKS OF FUTURES AND OPTIONS

STOCK INDEX FUTURES, OPTIONS ON STOCK INDICES AND OPTIONS ON STOCK INDEX FUTURES
CONTRACTS

    The Fund may purchase and sell stock index futures, options on stock indices
and options on stock index futures contracts as a hedge against movements in the
equity markets.

    A  stock index futures contract is an agreement in which one party agrees to
deliver to the other an amount of  cash equal to a specific dollar amount  times
the  difference between the value of a specific  stock index at the close of the
last trading day of the contract and  the price at which the agreement is  made.
No physical delivery of securities is made.

    Options  on stock  indices are  similar to  options on  specific securities,
described below, except that, rather than the right to take or make delivery  of
the  specific security at a specific price, an option on a stock index gives the
holder the right to receive, upon exercise  of the option, an amount of cash  if
the  closing level of  that stock index is  greater than, in the  case of a call
option, or less than,  in the case of  a put option, the  exercise price of  the
option.  This amount  of cash  is equal to  such difference  between the closing
price of the index  and the exercise  price of the  option expressed in  dollars
times a specified multiple. The writer of the option is obligated, in return for
the  premium  received,  to make  delivery  of  this amount.  Unlike  options on
specific securities, all settlements of options on stock indices are in cash and
gain or loss depends on  general movements in the  stocks included in the  index
rather  than  price movements  in particular  stocks. Currently,  options traded
include the S&P 100 Index, the S&P 500 Index, the NYSE Composite Index, the AMEX
Market Value  Index,  the National  Over-the-Counter  Index and  other  standard
broadly  based stock market indices. Options are also traded in certain industry
or market segment indices such as the Computer Technology Index.

    If the Investment Adviser  expects general stock market  prices to rise,  it
might  purchase a stock index futures contract,  or a call option on that index,
as a hedge  against an  increase in prices  of particular  equity securities  it
wants  ultimately  to  buy. If  the  stock index  does  rise, the  price  of the
particular equity securities  intended to  be purchased may  also increase,  but
that increase would be offset in part by the increase in the value of the Fund's
futures  contract or index option resulting from  the increase in the index. If,
on the other hand, the Investment Adviser expects general stock market prices to
decline, it might  sell a futures  contract, or  purchase a put  option, on  the
index.  If that  index does  decline, the  value of  some or  all of  the equity
securities in the  Fund's portfolio may  also be expected  to decline, but  that
decrease  would be  offset in part  by the increase  in the value  of the Fund's
position in such futures contract or put option.

    The Fund may purchase and write call and put options on stock index  futures
contracts. The Fund may use such options on futures contracts in connection with
its  hedging strategies in lieu of purchasing and selling the underlying futures
or purchasing and writing options directly on the underlying securities or stock
indices. For example, the Fund may purchase put options or write call options on
stock index futures, rather than selling futures contracts, in anticipation of a
decline in general  stock market prices  or purchase call  options or write  put
options  on stock index  futures, rather than purchasing  such futures, to hedge
against possible increases  in the  price of  equity securities  which the  Fund
intends to purchase.

                                      A-1
<PAGE>
    In  connection with transactions in stock index futures, stock index options
and options on  stock index futures,  the Fund  will be required  to deposit  as
"initial  margin" an  amount of cash  and short-term  U.S. Government securities
equal to from 5% to 8%  of the contract amount. Thereafter, subsequent  payments
(referred  to as "variation margin") are made  to and from the broker to reflect
changes in the value of the futures contract.

OPTIONS ON SECURITIES

    The Fund may write covered  put and call options  and purchase put and  call
options  on  the securities  in  which it  may invest  that  are traded  on U.S.
securities exchanges. The Fund may also write call options that are not  covered
for cross-hedging purposes.

    The  writer  of an  option  may have  no  control over  when  the underlying
securities must be sold, in the case of a call option, or purchased, in the case
of a put option; the writer may be assigned an exercise notice at any time prior
to the  termination  of  the  obligation.  Whether  or  not  an  option  expires
unexercised,  the  writer retains  the amount  of the  premium. This  amount, of
course, may, in the case of a covered call option, be offset by a decline in the
market value of  the underlying  security during the  option period.  If a  call
option  is exercised, the writer  experiences a profit or  loss from the sale of
the underlying security. If a put  option is exercised, the writer must  fulfill
the  obligation to purchase the underlying  security at the exercise price which
will usually exceed the then market value of the underlying security.

    The writer of an option that wished to terminate its obligation may effect a
"closing purchase transaction." This is accomplished by buying an option of  the
same series as the option previously written. The effect of the purchase is that
the  writer's position will be canceled  by the clearing corporation. However, a
writer may not effect a closing purchase transaction after being notified of the
exercise of an option. Likewise, an investor who is the holder of an option  may
liquidate  its  position  by effecting  a  "closing sale  transaction."  This is
accomplished by selling an  option of the same  series as the option  previously
purchased.  There is no  guarantee that either  a closing purchase  or a closing
sale transaction can be effected.

    Effecting a closing transaction  in the case of  a written call option  will
permit  the Fund to  write another call  option on the  underlying security with
either a different exercise price or expiration date or both, or in the case  of
a  written put option  will permit the Fund  to write another  put option to the
extent that  the  exercise  price  thereof  is  secured  by  deposited  cash  or
short-term  securities. Also,  effecting a  closing transaction  will permit the
cash or  proceeds from  the concurrent  sale of  any securities  subject to  the
option  to be  used for other  Fund investments. If  the Fund desires  to sell a
particular security from its portfolio on which it has written a call option, it
will effect a closing transaction  prior to or concurrent  with the sale of  the
security.

    The  Fund will realize a  profit from a closing  transaction if the price of
the transaction is less than the premium received from writing the option or  is
more  than the premium paid to purchase the option; the Fund will realize a loss
from a closing  transaction if the  price of  the transaction is  more than  the
premium  received from writing  the option or  is less than  the premium paid to
purchase the option. Because increases in the market price of a call option will
generally reflect increases in the market price of the underlying security,  any
loss  resulting from the repurchase  of a call option is  likely to be offset in
whole or in part by appreciation of the underlying security owned by the Fund.

                                      A-2
<PAGE>
    An option position  may be closed  out only where  there exists a  secondary
market  for an option of the same series.  If a secondary market does not exist,
it might not be  possible to effect closing  transactions in particular  options
with  the result that  the Fund would have  to exercise the  options in order to
realize any  profit.  If  the  Fund  is unable  to  effect  a  closing  purchase
transaction  in a secondary market,  it will not be  able to sell the underlying
security until the option  expires or it delivers  the underlying security  upon
exercise.  Reasons  for the  absence of  a liquid  secondary market  include the
following: (a) there may  be insufficient trading  interest in certain  options;
(b)  restrictions may be imposed by  a national securities exchange ("Exchange")
on opening  transactions or  closing transactions  or both;  (c) trading  halts,
suspensions  or other  restrictions may  be imposed  with respect  to particular
classes or series of options or underlying securities; (d) unusual or unforeseen
circumstances may interrupt normal operations on an Exchange; (e) the facilities
of an Exchange  or the  Options Clearing  Corporation may  not at  all times  be
adequate  to handle current trading volume; or  (f) one or more Exchanges could,
for economic or other  reasons, decide or  be compelled at  some future date  to
discontinue the trading of options (or a particular class or series of options),
in which event the secondary market on that Exchange (or in that class or series
of  options) would cease to exist, although outstanding options on that Exchange
that had been issued by the Options  Clearing Corporation as a result of  trades
on  that  Exchange would  continue to  be exercisable  in accordance  with their
terms.

    The Fund may  write options in  connection with buy-and-write  transactions;
that  is, the Fund may purchase a security  and then write a call option against
that security. The exercise price of the call the Fund determines to write  will
depend upon the expected price movement of the underlying security. The exercise
price  of a call option may be below ("in-the-money"), equal to ("at-the-money")
or above ("out-of-the-money") the  current value of  the underlying security  at
the  time the option  is written. Buy-and-write  transactions using in-the-money
call options may be used  when it is expected that  the price of the  underlying
security  will  remain  flat or  decline  moderately during  the  option period.
Buy-and-write transactions using out-of-the-money call options may be used  when
it  is expected that the premiums received from writing the call option plus the
appreciation in the market price of  the underlying security up to the  exercise
price  will be  greater than  the appreciation  in the  price of  the underlying
security alone. If  the call  options are  exercised in  such transactions,  the
Fund's  maximum gain will be the premium  received by it for writing the option,
adjusted upwards  or downwards  by the  difference between  the Fund's  purchase
price  of the security and the exercise  price. If the options are not exercised
and the price of  the underlying security declines,  the amount of such  decline
will be offset in part, or entirely, by the premium received.

    The  writing  of covered  put  options is  similar  in terms  of risk/return
characteristics to  buy-and-write  transactions.  If the  market  price  of  the
underlying  security rises  or otherwise  is above  the exercise  price, the put
option will expire worthless and the Fund's gain will be limited to the  premium
received.  If the market price of  the underlying security declines or otherwise
is below the exercise price,  the Fund may elect to  close the position or  take
delivery of the security at the exercise price and the Fund's return will be the
premium  received from the put option minus the amount by which the market price
of the security is below the exercise price. Out-of-the-money, at-the-money  and
in-the-money put options may be used by the Fund in the same market environments
that call options are used in equivalent buy-and-write transactions.

                                      A-3
<PAGE>
    The Fund may purchase put options to hedge against a decline in the value of
its portfolio. By using put options in this way, the Fund will reduce any profit
it might otherwise have realized in the underlying security by the amount of the
premium paid for the put option and by transaction costs.

    The Fund may purchase call options to hedge against an increase in the price
of  securities that the  Fund anticipates purchasing in  the future. The premium
paid for the call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit,  if
any,  realized by the Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of
the underlying security rises sufficiently,  the option may expire worthless  to
the Fund.

RISK FACTORS IN FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS

    The  effective use  of futures and  options strategies  depends, among other
things, on the  Fund's ability  to terminate  futures and  options positions  at
times when the Investment Adviser deems it desirable to do so. Although the Fund
will  not enter into a futures or  option position unless the Investment Adviser
believes that a liquid secondary market exists for such future or option,  there
is no assurance that the Fund will be able to effect closing transactions at any
particular time or at an acceptable price.

    The  use of futures  and options involves the  risk of imperfect correlation
between movements in futures  and options prices and  movements in the price  of
securities  which are the  subject of the  hedge. Such correlation, particularly
with respect to stock index futures and options on stock indices, is  imperfect,
and such risk increases as the composition of the Fund's portfolio diverges from
the  composition of the  relevant index. The successful  use of these strategies
also depends on  the ability  of the  Investment Adviser  to correctly  forecast
general stock market price movements.

    Jundt  U.S. Emerging Growth  Fund (the "Fund")  is a professionally managed,
diversified series of Jundt Funds, Inc. (the "Company"), an open-end  management
investment  company, commonly  known as a  "mutual fund."  The Company currently
offers its shares  in one  series (Series A,  which represent  interests in  the
Fund)  and the Fund, in turn, currently offers its shares in four classes (Class
A, Class  B,  Class C  and  Class D),  each  sold pursuant  to  different  sales
arrangements  and bearing different expenses (each, a "Class" and, collectively,
the "Classes.") This Prospectus relates only  to the Fund's Class A shares.  See
"Purchase Information" and "General Information."

    The Fund's investment objective is to provide long-term capital appreciation
by  investing  primarily  in a  diversified  portfolio of  equity  securities of
emerging growth companies that  are believed by  the Fund's investment  adviser,
Jundt Associates, Inc. (the "Investment Adviser"), to have significant potential
for  growth  in revenue  and  earnings. Income  is  not a  consideration  in the
selection of investments and  is not an investment  objective of the Fund.  Like
all  mutual  funds,  attainment of  the  Fund's investment  objective  cannot be
assured. See "Investment Objective and Policies."

    This Prospectus sets forth concisely the  information about the Fund that  a
prospective  investor should know before  investing. Please read this Prospectus
carefully before investing and  retain it for future  reference. A Statement  of
Additional  Information, dated  December 29,  1995, containing  more information
about the Fund (which is incorporated herein by reference), has been filed  with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and is available upon request
and without charge by calling the Fund at the telephone number listed above.

    AN  INVESTMENT IN THE FUND INVOLVES  CERTAIN RISKS, AS DESCRIBED UNDER "RISK
FACTORS"  AND  "INVESTMENT  OBJECTIVE  AND   POLICIES."  FUND  SHARES  ARE   NOT
OBLIGATIONS,  DEPOSITS OR ACCOUNTS OF, OR ENDORSED OR GUARANTEED BY, ANY BANKING
INSTITUTION, ARE  NOT INSURED  OR GUARANTEED  BY THE  FEDERAL DEPOSIT  INSURANCE
CORPORATION (THE "FDIC") OR ANY OTHER FEDERAL AGENCY AND INVOLVE INVESTMENT RISK
INCLUDING THE POSSIBLE LOSS OF PRINCIPAL.

    AS  WITH  ALL  MUTUAL FUNDS,  THESE  SECURITIES  HAVE NOT  BEEN  APPROVED OR
DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES  AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION  OR ANY STATE  SECURITIES
COMMISSION  NOR  HAS  THE  SECURITIES  AND  EXCHANGE  COMMISSION  OR  ANY  STATE

ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

                            ------------------------

                       PROSPECTUS DATED DECEMBER 29, 1995
<PAGE>
                                    THE FUND

    The  Fund is a professionally managed, diversified series of the Company, an
open-end management investment company  registered under the Investment  Company
Act   of  1940,  as  amended  (the  "Investment  Company  Act").  The  Fund  was
incorporated under the laws of the State  of Minnesota on October 26, 1995.  The
Fund's  principal  business  address  is 1550  Utica  Avenue  South,  Suite 950,
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55416.

                                  RISK FACTORS

    An investment in  the Fund is  subject to certain  risks, as detailed  under
"Investment Objective and Policies." As with other mutual funds, there can be no
assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective, and an investment
in  the Fund will fluctuate  in value (corresponding to  the value of the Fund's
underlying investments).

    In normal market conditions, at least half of the Fund's equity  investments
will  be in  securities of  companies with  annual revenues  under $750 million.
Investments in smaller companies  may involve greater  price volatility and  may
have  less  market liquidity  than equity  securities  of larger  companies. See
"Investment Objective and Policies -- Investment Policies."

    Under normal market conditions, the Fund may  invest up to 35% of its  total
assets  in  short-term,  fixed-income  securities,  and  may  temporarily invest
greater than 35% of  its assets in such  securities when the Investment  Adviser
believes  that  market conditions  warrant a  defensive investment  posture. The
value of  fixed-income securities  typically varies  inversely with  changes  in
market  interest  rates. See  "Investment Objective  and Policies  -- Investment
Policies."

    The Fund may invest up to 10%  of its total assets in securities of  foreign
issuers.   Such  investments   involve  risks  not   typically  associated  with
investments in securities of domestic  companies, including the risk of  decline
in  the  value  of the  applicable  foreign  currency against  the  U.S. dollar,
potential  political  and  economic  instability  in  such  countries,   limited
liquidity  and  price  volatility.  See "Investment  Objective  and  Policies --
Investment Policies."

    The Fund may  engage to a  limited extent in  certain other investments  and
investment  techniques, including  entering into  repurchase agreements, lending
portfolio securities, and purchasing and selling stock index futures  contracts,
options  on  stock indices,  stock options  and options  on stock  index futures
contracts. The  use  of each  of  these financial  techniques  involves  certain
additional  risk and may increase  the volatility of an  investment in the Fund.
Certain  of  these  investment  techniques   are  referred  to  generically   as
"derivatives"  -- a term that  has been used to  identify a variety of financial
instruments whose values are based  upon, or "derived" from, certain  underlying
indices,   reference  rates,  securities,  commodities   or  other  assets.  See
"Investment Objective and Policies  -- Repurchase Agreements,"  " -- Lending  of
Portfolio  Securities" and " -- Futures and Options Transactions" and Appendix A
to this Prospectus.

                              PURCHASE INFORMATION

    The Fund's Class A shares will not be distributed to the general public, but
will be  offered for  sale  exclusively to  directors, officers,  employees  and
consultants  of  the Fund  (including partners  and  employees of  outside legal
counsel to the Fund), the Fund's investment adviser, Jundt Associates, Inc. (the
"Investment  Adviser"),  and  the  Fund's  principal  distributor,  U.S.  Growth
Investments,  Inc., members of their immediate families, and their direct lineal
ancestors and descendants, as  well as accounts  for the benefit  of any of  the
foregoing. This Prospectus relates exclusively to the Fund's Class A shares.

                               FEES AND EXPENSES

    Class  A shares  are not  subject to  any front-end  sales charges, deferred
sales charges, redemption fees or Rule 12b-1 account maintenance or distribution
fees. The following fee and expense summary format was developed for use by  all
mutual  funds to  assist investors  in making  investment decisions.  Of course,
investors contemplating an investment in Fund shares should also consider  other
relevant  factors,  including the  Fund's  investment objectives  and historical

    The  purpose of the fee and expense information set forth above is to assist
investors in understanding  the various  costs and expenses  the investors  will
bear  directly  or  indirectly  in  the Fund's  Class  A  shares.  More detailed
information regarding these expenses is set forth under "Management of the Fund"
in the Prospectus THE FOREGOING  INFORMATION REPRESENTS MANAGEMENT'S GOOD  FAITH
ESTIMATE  OF FUND EXPENSES (NET OF  VOLUNTARY EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS) DURING THE
FIRST  YEAR   OF  THE   FUND'S  OPERATIONS,   AND  SHOULD   NOT  BE   CONSIDERED
REPRESENTATIONS  OF PAST OR  FUTURE EXPENSES. ACTUAL EXPENSES  MAY BE GREATER OR
LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.

    The Investment Adviser has voluntarily  agreed to pay certain Fund  expenses
as  indicated in the  above table incurred  during the first  year of the Fund's
operations.  Thereafter,   such   voluntary  expense   reimbursements   may   be
discontinued  or modified  in the  Investment Adviser's  sole discretion. Absent
such voluntary expense reimbursements, the Investment Adviser estimates that the
Fund's Class A shares would incur other expenses of approximately .61% and Total
Fund Operating Expenses of approximately 2.07%.

                       INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES

    The  Fund's investment  objective and certain  other specifically designated
investment policies  and restrictions  are deemed  to be  "fundamental" and,  as
such,  may not be  changed except by a  vote of a "majority"  (as defined in the
Investment Company Act) of the Fund's outstanding shares. Except for the  Fund's
investment  objective and  the policies  and restrictions  that are specifically
designated  as  "fundamental,"  each  of  the  Fund's  investment  policies  and
restrictions are "non-fundamental" and, as such, may be changed or eliminated by
the  Company's Board of  Directors without any  vote by Fund  shareholders. If a
percentage limitation set forth in any of the following investment policies  and
restrictions  is adhered to at the time a transaction is effected, later changes
in the  percentage  resulting  from  changes  in  value  or  in  the  number  of
outstanding securities of the issuer will not be considered a violation.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

    The Fund's investment objective is to provide long-term capital appreciation
by  investing  primarily  in a  diversified  portfolio of  equity  securities of
emerging growth companies that  are believed by the  Investment Adviser to  have
significant  potential  for growth  in  revenue and  earnings.  Income is  not a
consideration in the selection of investments and is not an investment objective
of the  Fund.  Like  all  mutual funds,  attainment  of  the  Fund's  investment
objective cannot be assured.

INVESTMENT POLICIES

    The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of emerging growth companies
that  are believed by  the Investment Adviser to  have significant potential for
growth in revenues  and earnings.  In normal market  conditions, the  Investment
Adviser  endeavors to  invest substantially  all (and no  less than  65%) of the
Fund's assets in equity securities of emerging growth companies. The  Investment
Adviser  emphasizes emerging growth companies, with  at least half of the Fund's
equity securities consisting of companies with annual revenues of less than $750
million, and  attempts to  maintain equity  positions in  30 to  50 of  what  it
believes  are the  fastest growing  American emerging  growth corporations (with
some investments in comparable foreign companies).

    The Fund may invest up to 10% of the value of its total assets in securities
of foreign  issuers. The  Fund may  only purchase  foreign securities  that  are
represented  by  American Depository  Receipts listed  on a  domestic securities
exchange or included in the NASDAQ National Market System, or foreign securities
listed directly on  a domestic  securities exchange  or included  in the  NASDAQ
National  Market System. Interest or dividend payments on such securities may be
subject  to  foreign  withholding  taxes.  The  Fund's  investments  in  foreign
securities  involve  considerations  and  risks  not  typically  associated with
investments in securities of  domestic companies, including unfavorable  changes
in  currency rates and  exchange control regulations,  reduced and less reliable
information  about  issuers   and  markets,   different  accounting   standards,
illiquidity  of securities and markets,  local economic or political instability
and greater market risk in general.

    Pending the investment or reinvestment of proceeds from the issuance of Fund
shares or  the  sale of  Fund  portfolio investments,  the  Fund may  invest  in
short-term  money market  securities and bank  deposits in  domestic branches of
U.S. banks having total assets in excess  of $1 billion that are members of  the
FDIC.  In normal market conditions, short-term  money market securities and bank
deposits may comprise up to  35% of the Fund's  total assets; however, when  the
Investment  Adviser  believes  that  economic  conditions  warrant  a  defensive
investment posture, the  Fund may  temporarily invest  greater than  35% of  its
total    assets   in    such   investments.   The    short-term   money   market

                                       4
<PAGE>
securities in which the Fund may invest include obligations of the United States
Government, its agencies  or instrumentalities  ("U.S. Government  Securities");
commercial  paper rated  A-1 or higher  by Standard &  Poor's Corporation and/or
Prime-1 or higher by Moody's Investor Services, Inc.; repurchase agreements; and
certificates of deposit and banker's acceptances issued by domestic branches  of
U.S.  banks having total assets in excess of  $1 billion that are members of the
FDIC. Additionally, to  the extent  permitted by  applicable law,  the Fund  may
invest to a limited extent in money market mutual funds (which, to the extent of
any  such investment, would  subject the Fund and  its shareholders to duplicate
expenses).

    The U.S.  Government  Securities  in  which  the  Fund  may  invest  include
securities  issued or guaranteed as to payment  of principal and interest by the
U.S. Government or  its agencies or  instrumentalities. The Fund  may invest  in
direct  obligations of the  U.S. Treasury, such  as U.S. Treasury  bills, and in
obligations of U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities, including, but not
limited to,  the Federal  National  Mortgage Association  and the  Student  Loan
Mortgage    Association.   Obligations   of    U.S.   Government   agencies   or
instrumentalities, such as  the Federal  National Mortgage  Association and  the
Student  Loan Mortgage Association,  may be merely  backed by the  credit of the
agency or instrumentality issuing the obligations and not by the full faith  and
credit of the U.S. Treasury.

    The  Fund  intends to  purchase and  hold  securities for  long-term capital
appreciation and does not expect to  trade for short-term gain. Accordingly,  it
is  anticipated that the annual portfolio turnover rate normally will not exceed
100%. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated by dividing the lesser of  sales
or  purchases of portfolio securities by the average monthly value of the Fund's
portfolio securities.  For purposes  of this  calculation, portfolio  securities
exclude  all options, futures and securities having a maturity when purchased of
one year or less. The turnover rate has a direct effect on the transaction costs
(including brokerage costs) to be borne by the Fund.

    The net asset value of  the Fund itself will  fluctuate with changes in  the
value  of its portfolio  securities. The Fund is  intended for investors seeking
long-term capital appreciation and is not intended to provide a trading  vehicle
for those who wish to profit from short-term swings in the stock market.

OTHER INVESTMENT POLICIES

    REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS.   Except as limited  by the  Fund's policy regarding
illiquid securities  (see  "Illiquid Securities"  below),  the Fund  may  invest
without  limitation in repurchase agreements  with securities dealers and member
banks of the Federal Reserve System. Repurchase agreements involve the  purchase
by  the Fund of an  underlying debt instrument, subject  to an obligation of the
seller to repurchase, and the Fund to  resell, the instrument at a fixed  price,
usually not more than one week after its purchase. Certain costs may be incurred
by the Fund in connection with the sale of the securities if the seller does not
repurchase  them in  accordance with the  repurchase agreement.  In addition, if
bankruptcy  proceedings  are  commenced  with  respect  to  the  seller  of  the
securities, realization on the securities by the Fund may be delayed or limited.
The   Company's  Board  of  Directors   has  established  procedures,  which  it
periodically reviews, pursuant to which the Investment Adviser will monitor  the
creditworthiness  of  the dealers  and  banks with  which  the Fund  enters into
repurchase agreements.

    LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES.   To enhance the  return on its  portfolio,
the  Fund may  lend securities in  its portfolio  representing up to  25% of its
total assets, taken at market value, to securities

                                       5
<PAGE>
firms  and  financial   institutions,  provided  that   each  loan  is   secured
continuously  by  collateral in  the  form of  cash,  high quality  money market
instruments or short-term U.S.  Government Securities adjusted  daily to have  a
market  value  at least  equal to  the  current market  value of  the securities
loaned. These loans are terminable  at any time, and  the Fund will receive  any
interest  or  dividends  paid  on  the loaned  securities.  In  addition,  it is
anticipated that  the  Fund may  share  with the  borrower  some of  the  income
received  on the collateral for the loan or  the Fund will be paid a premium for
the loan. The risk in lending portfolio securities, as with other extensions  of
credit,  consists of  possible delay in  recovery of the  securities or possible
loss of  rights in  the  collateral should  the  borrower fail  financially.  In
determining  whether the Fund will lend  securities, the Investment Adviser will
consider all relevant factors and circumstances.  The Fund will only enter  into
loan  arrangements with  broker-dealers, banks  or other  institutions which the
Investment Adviser has determined are creditworthy under guidelines  established
by the Company's Board of Directors.

    FUTURES  AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS.   Through the purchase  and sale of stock
index futures contracts, options on stock indices, stock options and options  on
stock  index futures  contracts, the  Fund at  times may  seek to  hedge against
either a decline in the  value of securities owned by  it or an increase in  the
price  of securities which  it plans to  purchase. The Fund  is not a "commodity
pool;" therefore, consistent  with the  rules and regulations  of the  Commodity
Futures Trading Commission, the Fund will not purchase or sell futures contracts
or related options if, as a result, the sum of the initial margin deposit on the
Fund's  existing futures  and related  options positions  and premiums  paid for
options on  futures contracts  entered into  for other  than bona  fide  hedging
purposes would exceed 5% of the Fund's assets.

    Options  purchased and written by the Fund  may be exchange traded or may be
options entered  into by  the Fund  in negotiated  transactions with  investment
dealers  and other  financial institutions  ("OTC Options"),  such as commercial
banks or savings and  loan associations, deemed  creditworthy by the  Investment
Adviser.  OTC Options are not  as liquid as exchange  traded options, and it may
not be possible for  the Fund to dispose  of an OTC Option  it has purchased  or
terminate  its obligations under an OTC Option it has written at a time when the
Investment Adviser believes it would be advantageous to do so.

    The use of futures  and options involves the  risk of imperfect  correlation
between  movements in futures and  options prices and movements  in the price of
securities which are the subject of the hedge. Expenses and losses incurred as a
result of the above hedging strategies would reduce the Fund's performance.  For
a  further  discussion of  futures and  options transactions,  including certain
additional risks associated therewith, see APPENDIX A.

    ILLIQUID SECURITIES.   The Fund may  invest up to  10% of the  value of  its
assets  in  securities as  to  which a  liquid  trading market  does  not exist,
provided such investments are consistent  with the Fund's investment  objective.
Such  securities may include securities that are not readily marketable, such as
certain securities  that are  subject to  legal or  contractual restrictions  on
resale,  repurchase agreements providing for settlement  in more than seven days
after notice,  and certain  options traded  in the  over-the-counter market  and
securities  used to  cover such  options. As  to these  securities, the  Fund is
subject to the risk of  unavailability of a buyer for  a favorable price if  the
Fund  desires to sell  these securities. Such lack  of liquidity could adversely
affect the value of the Fund's net assets.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

    In addition to the investment policies set forth above, the Fund has adopted
certain fundamental investment restrictions (set forth in their entirety in  the
Statement  of Additional Information), which may not be amended without the vote
of a  "majority"  (as defined  in  the Investment  Company  Act) of  the  Fund's
outstanding voting securities. These restrictions prohibit the Fund, among other
matters,  from:  (a) investing  more than  25% of  its total  assets in  any one
industry (disregarding investments  in securities  of the  U.S. Government,  its
agencies  and  instrumentalities);  or  (b) borrowing  money  or  issuing senior
securities (as defined in the Investment Company Act), except that the Fund  may
borrow in amounts not exceeding 15% of its total assets from banks for temporary
or  emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests which might
require the  untimely  disposition of  securities.  Additionally, the  Fund  has
adopted certain non-fundamental investment restrictions (also set forth in their
entirety  in the Statement  of Additional Information), which  may be changed by
the  Company's  Board  of   Directors  without  the   approval  of  the   Fund's
shareholders.  According to these  restrictions, the Fund,  among other matters,
may not: (a) invest more  than 10% of its assets  (taken at market value at  the
time of purchase) in the outstanding securities of any single issuer; (b) invest
more  than 10% of its total assets  in securities of issuers which together with
any  predecessors  have  a  record  of  less  than  three  years  of  continuous
operations; or (c) own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any
one issuer.

BROKERAGE AND PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

    Subject  to policies  established by the  Company's Board  of Directors, the
Investment Adviser is responsible for investment decisions and for the execution
of the Fund's portfolio  transactions. The Fund has  no obligation to deal  with
any  particular broker or  dealer in the execution  of transactions in portfolio
securities. In  executing such  transactions, the  Investment Adviser  seeks  to
obtain  the best price and execution  for its transactions. While the Investment
Adviser generally seeks reasonably competitive  commission rates, the Fund  does
not necessarily pay the lowest commission.

    Where  best price and execution may be obtained from more than one broker or
dealer, the  Investment  Adviser  may,  in its  discretion,  purchase  and  sell
securities  through  brokers or  dealers who  provide research,  statistical and
other information to the Investment Adviser. Information so received will be  in
addition  to and  not in lieu  of the services  required to be  performed by the
Investment Adviser under its investment advisory agreement with the Fund and the
expenses of the Investment Adviser will  not necessarily be reduced as a  result
of  the receipt of such supplemental information. Such information may be useful
to the Investment Adviser in providing services to clients other than the  Fund.
Conversely,  such information provided to the  Investment Adviser by brokers and
dealers through whom other clients  of the Investment Adviser effect  securities
transactions  may be useful  to the Investment Adviser  in providing services to
the Fund.

    Consistent with the  rules and  regulations of the  National Association  of
Securities  Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"), the Investment Adviser may also consider
distribution of Fund shares when allocating Fund portfolio transactions  between
or among brokers and dealers that otherwise offer best price and execution.

    The  Fund  will not  purchase securities  from, or  sell securities  to, the
Investment Adviser.

    Certain other clients of the  Investment Adviser have investment  objectives
and policies similar to those of the Fund. The Investment Adviser may, from time
to  time,  make  recommendations  that  result in  the  purchase  or  sale  of a
particular  investment   by   its   other  clients   simultaneously   with   the

                                       7
<PAGE>
Fund.  If transactions on behalf of more  than one client during the same period
increase the  demand  for the  investments  being  purchased or  the  supply  of
investments  being sold, there may be an adverse effect on price or quantity. In
addition, it is possible that the number of options or futures transactions that
the Fund  may enter  into may  be affected  by options  or futures  transactions
entered  into by other investment advisory clients of the Investment Adviser. It
is the policy of the Investment Adviser to allocate advisory recommendations and
the placing of orders  in a manner  that is deemed  equitable by the  Investment
Adviser  to the accounts involved,  including the Fund. When  two or more of the
clients of the Investment Adviser (including the Fund) are purchasing or selling
the same security on  a given day  from, to or  through the same  broker-dealer,
such transactions may be averaged as to price.

                             MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND

    The  Company's Board of Directors is  responsible for the overall management
and operation  of  the  Fund.  The  Fund's  officers  are  responsible  for  the
day-to-day  operations of the Fund under  the supervision of the Company's Board
of Directors.

INVESTMENT ADVISER

    Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Fund (the  "Investment
Advisory  Agreement"), the  Investment Adviser  serves as  the Fund's investment
adviser and, as such,  is responsible for the  overall management of the  Fund's
investment  portfolio. The Investment Adviser was incorporated in December 1982.
As of November 30, 1995, the Investment Adviser managed approximately $3 billion
of assets for The Jundt Growth Fund, Inc. and 21 institutional clients.

    The Investment Adviser is a growth-oriented manager. The Investment  Adviser
believes  that the  U.S. economy,  due to  its heterogeneous  nature and immense
size, provides  investors with  significant growth  opportunities. In  selecting
investments,   the  Investment  Adviser   emphasizes  fundamental  prospects  of
individual companies rather than macroeconomic trends.

    Under the  Investment  Advisory  Agreement, the  Fund  pays  the  Investment
Adviser  a monthly fee equal  on an annual basis to  1.00% of the Fund's average
daily net assets. This fee  is higher than the advisory  fee paid by most  other
investment companies.

    James  R. Jundt serves  as director, Chairman of  the Board, Chief Executive
Officer and Secretary of the Investment Adviser and beneficially owns 76% of the
Investment Adviser's capital stock. Mary Joann Jundt, wife of James R. Jundt, is
the trustee of  a trust that  beneficially owns 4%  of the Investment  Adviser's
capital  stock. The current beneficiaries  of the trust are  the children of Mr.
and Mrs. Jundt  (including Marcus E.  Jundt, Vice  Chairman of the  Board and  a
director  of the Investment Adviser) and the  issue of such children. Mrs. Jundt
votes the  shares  owned by  the  trust. The  remaining  20% of  the  Investment
Adviser's capital stock is beneficially owned by Gail M. Knappenberger, formerly
a director and officer of the Investment Adviser.

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS

    The  Investment Adviser has  no formal investment  committee. All investment
decisions are made by one or more  of the firm's four portfolio managers  (James
R.  Jundt,  Donald  M.  Longlet,  Thomas L.  Press  and  Marcus  E.  Jundt). The
Investment  Adviser  places  significant  emphasis  on  the  team  approach   in
conducting  its portfolio  management activities. The  portfolio managers confer
frequently throughout the typical business  day as to investment  opportunities,
and  most  investment  decisions  are made  after  consultation  with  the other
portfolio managers.

Administrators, L.P.  (the "Administrator")  and the  Fund (the  "Administration
Agreement"),  the  Administrator performs  or  arranges for  the  performance of
certain administrative services (I.E., services other than investment advice and

the Fund, preparing or reviewing certain reports and other documents required by
United States  federal,  state and  other  applicable laws  and  regulations  to

THE DISTRIBUTOR; RULE 12B-1 DISTRIBUTION PLANS

    Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement  between the Distributor and the  Fund,
the  Distributor serves as the principal underwriter of each Class of the Fund's
shares. Additionally, the Fund has  adopted Distribution Plans pursuant to  Rule
12b-1  under the Investment Company Act with respect to its Class B, Class C and
Class D shares, pursuant to which  each such Class pays the Distributor  certain
fees  in connection  with the  distribution of shares  of such  Class and/or the
maintenance of shareholder accounts.

    Under its Distribution Plan, each of Class  B, Class C and Class D pays  the
Distributor  a Rule 12b-1 "account maintenance fee"  equal on an annual basis to
 .25% of  the average  daily net  assets attributable  to each  such Class.  This
account  maintenance fee is  designed to compensate  the Distributor and certain
broker-dealers and financial institutions with which the Distributor has entered
into selling arrangements for the provision  of certain services to the  holders
of  Fund shares, including, but not limited to, answering shareholder questions,
providing shareholders with reports and other information and providing  various
other services relating to the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

    The  Distribution Plans of  Class B and  Class C provide  for the additional
payment of  a Rule  12b-1 "distribution  fee" to  the Distributor,  equal on  an
annual  basis to .75% of the average  daily net assets attributable to each such
Class. This  fee is  designed  to compensate  the Distributor  for  advertising,
marketing  and  distributing  the Class  B  and  Class C  shares,  including the
provision of initial and ongoing  sales compensation to the Distributor's  sales
representatives  and  to other  broker-dealers  and financial  institutions with
which the Distributor has entered into selling arrangements.

TRANSFER AGENT, DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT AND CUSTODIAN; SUBACCOUNTING AGENTS

    Investors Fiduciary Trust  Company (the "Transfer  Agent"), 1004  Baltimore,
Kansas  City Missouri  64105, serves as  the Fund's transfer  agent and dividend
disbursing agent. Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., Norwest Center, 90 South Seventh
Street, Minneapolis,  Minnesota  55402,  serves  as  the  Fund's  custodian.  In
addition,  the Fund compensates certain broker-dealers that sell Fund shares for
performing various accounting and administrative services with respect to  large
street-name accounts maintained by such broker-dealers.

                             HOW TO BUY FUND SHARES

    The Fund offers its shares in four separate Classes (Class A, Class B, Class
C  and Class D) which offer different sales charges and bear different expenses.
The Fund's Class A  shares will not  be distributed to  the general public,  but
will  be  offered for  sale exclusively  to  directors, officers,  employees and
consultants of  the Fund  (including  partners and  employees of  outside  legal
counsel to the Fund), the Fund's investment adviser, Jundt Associates, Inc. (the
"Investment  Adviser"),  and  the  Fund's  principal  distributor,  U.S.  Growth
Investments, Inc., members of their immediate families, and their direct  lineal
ancestors  and descendants, as  well as accounts  for the benefit  of any of the
foregoing. This Prospectus relates exclusively to the Fund's Class A Shares.

    The minimum  initial  investment  is  $1,000,  and  the  minimum  additional
investment  is $50.  The Fund  may waive  or reduce  these minimums  for certain
retirement and employee savings plans or  custodial accounts for the benefit  of
minors.  The Fund's shares may be purchased  at their public offering price (see
below) from the Distributor, from the Transfer Agent, from other  broker-dealers
who  are  members  of  the  NASD  and  who  have  selling  agreements  with  the
Distributor,  and  from  certain   financial  institutions  that  have   selling
agreements with the Distributor.

                                       10
<PAGE>
    No share certificates will be issued by the Fund.

    Banks,  acting as  agents for their  customers and  not for the  Fund or the
Distributor, from time to time may purchase Fund shares for the accounts of such
customers. Generally, the  Glass-Steagall Act prohibits  banks from engaging  in
the  business of  underwriting, selling  or distributing  securities. Should the
activities of any bank, acting as agent for its customers in connection with the
purchase of the  Fund's shares,  be deemed  to violate  the Glass-Steagall  Act,
management will take whatever action, if any, is appropriate in order to provide
efficient  services  for  the Fund.  Fund  management  does not  believe  that a
termination in  the relationship  with any  bank would  result in  any  material
adverse  consequences to  the Fund. In  addition, state securities  laws on this
issue may  differ  and banks  and  financial  institutions may  be  required  to
register  as dealers  pursuant to  state law.  Fund shares  are not  deposits or
obligations of, or guaranteed or  endorsed by, any bank  and are not insured  or
guaranteed  by the U.S. Government,  the FDIC, the Federal  Reserve Board or any
other federal agency.

    When orders are  placed for shares  of the Fund,  the public offering  price
used  for the purchase will be the net asset value per share next determined. If
an  order  is  placed   with  the  Distributor   or  other  broker-dealer,   the
broker-dealer is responsible for promptly transmitting the order to the Fund.

    Shares  of the Fund may be purchased by opening an account either by mail or
by phone. Shares are deemed to be  purchased as of the time of determination  of
the Fund's net asset value on the day the purchase order for the purchase of its
shares is received in good form and accepted by the Fund.

    An  investor who may  be interested in having  shares redeemed shortly after
purchase should  consider making  unconditional payment  by certified  check  or
other  means  approved  in advance  by  the Distributor.  Payment  of redemption
proceeds will be  delayed as long  as necessary to  verify by expeditious  means
that  the purchase payment  has been or  will be collected.  Such period of time
typically will not exceed 15 days.

    AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN.   Investors  may make  systematic investments  in
fixed  amounts automatically  on a  monthly basis  through the  Fund's Automatic
Investment Plan. Additional information is available from the Distributor.

    PURCHASES BY  MAIL.   To  open  an account  by  mail, complete  the  general

Federal Reserve System to transmit Federal Funds by wire to the Fund as follows:

       State Street Bank & Trust Company, ABA #011000028
       For credit of: Jundt U.S. Emerging Growth Fund
       Account No.: 9905-154-2

                                       11
<PAGE>
    Information  on how to  transmit Federal Funds  by wire is  available at any
national bank or any state bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve  System.
The  bank may charge the shareholder for the wire transfer. The investor will be
required to complete the general authorization form attached to this  Prospectus
and mail it to the Fund after making the initial telephone purchase.

                           HOW TO REDEEM FUND SHARES

    The  Fund will redeem  its shares in cash  at the net  asset value per share
next determined after receipt of a shareholder's written request for  redemption
in  good order.  If shares  for which payment  has been  collected are redeemed,
payment will be made within three days.

    The Fund imposes no  charges when its Class  A shares are redeemed  directly
through  the  Transfer  Agent.  Service  agents may  charge  a  nominal  fee for
effecting redemptions of Fund shares. It  is the responsibility of each  service
agent  to transmit redemption orders to the  Transfer Agent. The value of shares
redeemed may  be  more or  less  than their  original  cost depending  upon  the
then-current net asset value of the shares being redeemed.

    The  Fund may suspend this right of redemption and may postpone payment only
when the New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than customary weekends  or
holidays, or if permitted by the rules of the SEC during periods when trading on
the New York Stock Exchange is restricted or during any emergency which makes it
impracticable  for the Fund to dispose of  its securities or to determine fairly
the value of its net assets or during any other period permitted by order of the
SEC for the protection of investors.

    Although the Fund has  no current intention of  doing so, the Fund  reserves
the  right to redeem its shares in kind.  However, the Fund will pay in cash all
redemption requests by any shareholder that, during any 90-day period, amount to
no more than  the lesser of:  (a) $250,000; or  (b) 1% of  the Fund's net  asset
value at the beginning of such 90-day period. If a redemption were made in kind,
a  shareholder  would incur  transaction costs  in  disposing of  any securities
received.

    The Fund  expects to  redeem all  of  the shares  of any  shareholder  whose
account  has remained below  $1,000 as a  result of redemptions  for at least 60
days after the mailing to the shareholder of a "notice of intention to redeem".

EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE

    Except as described below,  shareholders may exchange some  or all of  their
Class  A Fund shares for Class A shares of The Jundt Growth Fund, Inc., provided
that the shares  to be acquired  in the exchange  are eligible for  sale in  the
shareholder's state of residence.

    The  minimum amount which may be exchanged is $1,000. The Fund and The Jundt
Growth Fund, Inc. will  execute the exchange  on the basis  of the relative  net
asset  values next determined  after receipt by  the Fund. There  is no specific
time limit on exchange  frequency; however, the Fund  is intended for long  term
investment  and not  as a trading  vehicle. The Investment  Adviser reserves the
right to  prohibit  excessive  exchanges  (more  than  four  per  quarter).  The
Distributor  reserves the  right, upon  60 days'  prior notice,  to restrict the
frequency of, or otherwise modify, condition, terminate or impose charges  upon,
exchanges.  An exchange is considered a sale of shares on which the investor may
realize a capital gain or loss for income tax purposes. A shareholder may  place
exchange requests

                                       12
<PAGE>
directly with the Fund, through the Distributor or through other broker-dealers.
An  investor considering  an exchange  should obtain  a prospectus  of The Jundt
Growth Fund, Inc. and should read  such prospectus carefully. Contact the  Fund,
the  Distributor or  any of  such other  broker-dealers for  further information
about the exchange privilege.

EXPEDITED REDEMPTIONS

    The Fund offers  several expedited redemption  procedures, described  below,
which allow a shareholder to redeem Fund shares at net asset value determined on
the  same day that  the shareholder placed  the request for  redemption of those
shares. Pursuant to  these expedited  redemption procedures,  the Fund's  shares
will  be redeemed at their net asset  value next determined following the Fund's
receipt of the redemption request.  The Fund reserves the  right at any time  to
suspend  or terminate the expedited redemption procedures or to impose a fee for
this service. There is currently no additional charge to the shareholder for use
of the Fund's expedited redemption procedures.

    EXPEDITED TELEPHONE REDEMPTION.  Shareholders redeeming at least $1,000  and
no  more than $25,000 of  shares may redeem by  telephoning the Fund directly at
(800) 370-0612. The applicable section of the authorization form must have  been
completed  by  the shareholder  and  filed with  the  Fund before  the telephone
request is received. The Fund will employ reasonable procedures to confirm  that
telephone  instructions are  genuine, including  requiring that  payment be made
only to the shareholder's address of record or to the bank account designated on
the authorization form and requiring certain means of telephonic identification.
If the Fund fails  to employ such  procedures, it may be  liable for any  losses
suffered by shareholders as a result of fraudulent instructions. The proceeds of
the  redemption will  be paid  by check mailed  to the  shareholder's address of
record or,  if  requested  at the  time  of  redemption, by  wire  to  the  bank
designated on the authorization form.

    EXPEDITED    REDEMPTIONS   THROUGH   CERTAIN    BROKER-DEALERS.      Certain
broker-dealers who have sales  agreements with the  Distributor may allow  their
customers  to effect  an expedited  redemption of  shares of  the Fund purchased
through such a  broker-dealer by notifying  the broker-dealer of  the amount  of
shares  to  be  redeemed. The  broker-dealer  is then  responsible  for promptly
placing the redemption request with the  Fund on the customer's behalf.  Payment
will  be made  to the shareholder  by check  or wire sent  to the broker-dealer.
Broker-dealers offering this service may impose a fee or additional requirements
for such redemptions.

MONTHLY CASH WITHDRAWAL PLAN

    An investor who owns or buys shares of the Fund valued at $10,000 or more at
the current offering price may open a Withdrawal Plan and have a designated  sum
of  money paid  monthly to  the investor  or another  person. See  "Monthly Cash
Withdrawal Plan" in the Statement of Additional Information.

                        DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

    The net asset value of  each Class of the  Fund's shares is determined  once
daily  as  of 15  minutes after  the close  of  business on  the New  York Stock
Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m., New York time)  on each day during which the  New
York  Stock Exchange  is open for  trading. Any assets  or liabilities initially
expressed in  terms  of non-U.S.  dollar  currencies are  translated  into  U.S.
dollars at the prevailing market rates as quoted by one or more banks or dealers
on  the day of valuation. The net asset value is computed by dividing the market
value of  the  securities  held by  the  Fund  plus any  cash  or  other  assets
(including  interest  and  dividends accrued  but  not yet  received)  minus all
liabilities

                                       13
<PAGE>
(including accrued expenses) by the total  number of shares outstanding at  such
time.  Expenses, including but  not limited to  the fees paid  to the Investment
Adviser and the  Administrator and any  account maintenance and/or  distribution
fees payable to the Distributor, are accrued daily.

    Portfolio  securities which are traded on  a national securities exchange or
on the NASDAQ National Market System are  valued at the last sale price on  such
exchange  or  market as  of  the close  of business  on  the date  of valuation.
Securities traded on a  national securities exchange or  on the NASDAQ  National
Market  System  for which  there  were no  sales on  the  date of  valuation and
securities traded on other over-the-counter markets, including listed securities
for which the primary market is  believed to be over-the-counter, are valued  at
the  mean between  the most  recently quoted bid  and asked  prices. Options are
valued at market value or fair value if no market exists. Futures contracts  are
valued  in a  like manner,  except that open  futures contract  sales are valued
using the closing settlement price or, in the absence of such a price, the  most
recent quoted asked price. Securities and assets for which market quotations are
not  readily available are valued  at fair value as  determined in good faith by
the Company's Board of Directors or by the Investment Adviser in accordance with
policies and  procedures  established  by  the  Company's  Board  of  Directors.
Short-term  investments that mature in  60 days or less  are valued at amortized
cost, which approximates fair value.

                       DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

    Substantially all  of  the Fund's  net  realized gains  and  net  investment
income,   if  any,  will  be  paid   to  shareholders  annually.  Dividends  and
distributions may be  taken in  cash or automatically  reinvested in  additional
Fund shares (of the same Class of shares as the shares to which the dividends or
distributions  relate) at net asset value on the ex-dividend date. Dividends and
distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares  unless
the shareholder has elected in writing to receive dividends and distributions in
cash.

TAXES

    The  Fund  intends  to qualify  as  a "regulated  investment  company" under
Subchapter M of  the Code.  If so  qualified, the Fund  will not  be subject  to
federal income taxes to the extent its earnings are timely distributed. The Fund
also  intends  to  make distributions  as  required  by the  Code  to  avoid the
imposition of the 4% federal excise taxes.

    The Fund will distribute substantially all of its net investment income  and
net  capital gains to  investors. Distributions to  shareholders from the Fund's
income and short-term capital gains are taxed as dividends (as ordinary income),
and long-term capital gain distributions  are taxed as long-term capital  gains.
Distributions  of long-term  capital gains  will be  taxable to  the investor as
long-term capital gains regardless  of the length of  time the shares have  been
held.  A portion of the Fund's dividends  may qualify for the dividends received
deduction for corporations. The Fund's  distributions are taxable when they  are
paid,  whether a shareholder takes them in  cash or reinvests them in additional
Fund shares, except that  dividends and distributions  declared in December  but
paid  in January are  taxable as if paid  on or before  December 31. The federal
income tax  status  of  all  distributions  will  be  reported  to  shareholders
annually. In addition to federal income taxes, dividends

                                       14
<PAGE>
and  distributions  may also  be subject  to state  or local  taxes, and  if the
shareholder lives outside  the United  States, the  dividends and  distributions
could also be taxed by the country in which the shareholder resides.

"BUYING A DIVIDEND"

    On  the ex-dividend  date for  a dividend or  distribution by  the Fund, its
share price is  reduced by the  amount of  the dividend or  distribution. If  an
investor  purchases shares of the  Fund on or before  the record date ("buying a
dividend"), the investor will pay the full price for the shares (which  includes
realized  but  undistributed  earnings  and  capital  gains  of  the  Fund  that
accumulate throughout the  year), and  then receive  a portion  of the  purchase
price back in the form of a taxable distribution.

OTHER TAX INFORMATION

    Under federal tax law, some shareholders may be subject to a 31% withholding
on  reportable dividends,  capital gains  distributions and  redemption payments
("backup withholding"). Generally,  shareholders subject  to backup  withholding
will  be those for whom a taxpayer identification number is not on file with the
Fund or any  of its  agents or  who, to the  Fund's or  agent's knowledge,  have
furnished  an incorrect number. In order  to avoid this withholding requirement,
investors must  certify  that the  taxpayer  identification number  provided  is
correct  and that the investment is not otherwise subject to backup withholding,
or is exempt from backup withholding.

    THE FOREGOING TAX  DISCUSSION IS  GENERAL IN  NATURE, AND  EACH INVESTOR  IS
ADVISED  TO CONSULT HIS  OR HER TAX  ADVISER REGARDING SPECIFIC  QUESTIONS AS TO
FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAXATION.

                            PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

    Advertisements  and  communications  to  shareholders  may  contain  various
measures  of  the Fund's  performance,  including various  expressions  of total
return. Additionally, such  advertisements and  communications may  occasionally
cite  statistics to reflect the Fund's  volatility or risk. Performance for each
Class of the  Fund's shares may  be calculated  on the basis  of average  annual
total  return and/or total return. These total return figures reflect changes in
the price of  the shares  and assume that  any income  dividends and/or  capital
gains distributions made by the Fund during the measuring period were reinvested
in  shares of the same Class. The Fund presents performance information for each
Class of shares commencing with the Fund's inception. Performance for each Class
is calculated separately.

    Average annual total return is calculated pursuant to a standardized formula
which assumes that an investment was purchased with an initial payment of $1,000
and that the  investment was redeemed  at the end  of a stated  period of  time,
after  giving effect to  the reinvestment of  dividends and distributions during
the period. The return is expressed as a percentage rate which, if applied on  a
compounded  annual basis, would result in the redeemable value of the investment
at the end of the period.  Advertisements of the Fund's performance will  cover,
when available, one, five and ten-year periods, as well as the time period since
the inception of the Fund.

    Total  return is computed on a per  share basis and assumes the reinvestment
of dividends  and  distributions.  Total  return generally  is  expressed  as  a
percentage  rate  which  is calculated  by  combining the  income  and principal
changes  for  a  specified   period  and  dividing   by  the  maximum   offering

                                       15
<PAGE>
price  per share at the beginning of  the period. Advertisements may include the
percentage rate  of total  return or  may include  the value  of a  hypothetical
investment  at  the end  of  the period  which  assumes the  application  of the
percentage rate of total return.

    In each  case  performance figures  are  based upon  past  performance.  The
investment results of the Fund, like all others, will fluctuate over time; thus,
performance figures should not be considered to represent what an investment may
earn  in the  future or  what the  Fund's total  return or  average annual total
return may be in any period.

    The  Fund's  performance  from  time  to  time  in  reports  or  promotional
literature  may be  compared to generally  accepted indices or  analyses such as
those  published  by  Lipper  Analytical   Service,  Inc.,  Standard  &   Poor's
Corporation,  Dow  Jones &  Company,  Inc., CDA  Investment  Technologies, Inc.,
Morningstar, Inc. and Investment Company Data Incorporated. Performance  ratings
reported periodically in national financial publications also may be used.

    The  Fund's  Annual  Reports will  contain  certain  performance information
regarding the  Fund  and  will  be  made available  to  any  recipient  of  this
Prospectus upon request and without charge.

    The  Investment Adviser manages  a significant amount  of assets in emerging
growth "core" portfolios  (the "Emerging Growth  Portfolios") consisting of  all
fully  discretionary institutional accounts with investment objectives, policies
and strategies similar to those of the Fund. During the first year of the Fund's
operations, the  Investment  Adviser intends  to  quote, in  supplemental  sales
literature  that is accompanied  or preceded by  this Prospectus, the historical
performance (average annual  total return  and cumulative total  return) of  the
Emerging  Growth Portfolios. Such performance quotations will be net of advisory
fees paid  to  the  Investment Adviser,  but  will  not reflect  the  impact  of
front-end  and deferred sales charges and custodial, Rule 12b-1, administrative,
transfer agency  and other  expenses that  will be  borne by  the Fund  and  its
shareholders.  Additionally,  any  such  historical  performance  should  not be
interpreted as an indication of future Fund performance.

    The following  table sets  forth the  average annual  total returns  of  the
Emerging  Growth Portfolios during the one, five and ten years ended October 31,
1995 and  for  the  period  from  the  inception  of  the  Investment  Adviser's
management of the Portfolios (January 1, 1983 through October 31, 1995), as well
as the cumulative total return of the Emerging Growth Portfolios from January 1,
1983  through October  31, 1995. Each  such performance  calculation is compared
with the performance over the same periods of time of the Standard & Poor's  500
Composite  Stock Price Index  (the "S&P 500  Index") and the  Lipper Growth Fund
Index.

                              GENERAL INFORMATION

    The Fund is  a professionally  managed, diversified series  of the  Company,
which  was incorporated under the laws of  the State of Minnesota on October 26,
1995. The Company is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act as
an open-end management  investment company. This  registration does not  involve
supervision  of  management or  investment policy  by an  agency of  the federal
government.

    The Company  currently offers  its shares  in one  Series (Series  A,  which
represent  interests in the  Fund) and the  Fund, in turn,  currently offers its
shares in  four Classes  (Class A,  Class B,  Class C  and Class  D), each  sold
pursuant  to different  sales arrangements  and bearing  different expenses. The
Company's Board of  Directors, without  shareholder approval,  is authorized  to
designate  additional Classes  of shares  in the  future; however,  the Board of
Directors has no present intention to do so. This Prospectus relates only to the
Fund's Class  A shares.  The Fund's  Class B,  Class C  and Class  D shares  are
offered pursuant to a separate prospectus. See "Purchase Information".

    Shares  of each Class represent interests in the assets of the Fund and have
identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other  rights on the same terms  and
conditions  except that expenses  related to the distribution  of each Class are
borne solely by such Class and each Class of shares has exclusive voting  rights
with  respect to the Rule  12b-1 Distribution Plan applicable  to such Class and
other matters for which  separate Class voting  is appropriate under  applicable
law.  Additionally,  because Class  B shares  (if held  for the  applicable time
period) automatically convert into Class D shares, any proposed amendment to the
Class D  Rule 12b-1  Distribution  Plan that  would  increase the  fees  payable
thereunder  must be approved  by Class D  AND Class B  shareholders (each voting
separately as a Class).

    The Fund's  shares are  freely transferable,  are entitled  to dividends  as
declared by the Company's Board of Directors, and, upon liquidation of the Fund,
are entitled to receive the net assets of the Fund.

    The  Company's  Articles  of  Incorporation permit  the  Company's  Board of
Directors, without shareholder approval, to  create additional Series of  shares
and  to subdivide any Series into various Classes of shares with such rights and
preferences as the  Company's Board  of Directors may  designate. The  Company's
Articles  of Incorporation  provide that  each share  of a  Series has  one vote
irrespective of the  relative net asset  values of the  shares. On some  issues,
such as the election of the

                                       17
<PAGE>
Company's  directors and the ratification of the Company's independent auditors,
all shares of the  Company vote together  as one Series.  On an issue  affecting
only  a particular Series or  Class, the shares of  the effected Series or Class
vote as a  separate Series  or Class. An  example of  such an issue  would be  a
fundamental investment restriction pertaining to only one Series.

    The  assets received by the Company for the  issue or sale of shares of each
Series or Class, and all income, earnings, profits and proceeds thereof, subject
only to the rights of creditors, are  allocated to such Series, and in the  case
of  a Class, allocated  to such Class,  and constitute the  underlying assets of
such Series or Class. The underlying assets of each Series or Class are required
to be  segregated on  the books  of  account, and  are to  be charged  with  the
expenses  with respect to such Series or Class,  and with a share of the general
expenses of  the  Company. Any  general  expenses  of the  Company  not  readily
identifiable  as belonging  to a particular  Series or Class  shall be allocated
among the Series or Classes based upon the relative net assets of the Series  or
Class  at  the time  such  expenses were  accrued or  such  other method  as the
Company's Board of Directors, or the Investment Adviser with the supervision  of
the Company's Board of Directors, may determine.

    The  Company  is  not  required  under  Minnesota  law  to  hold  annual  or
periodically scheduled regular meetings of shareholders, and does not intend  to
hold  such meetings.  The Company's Board  of Directors  may convene shareholder
meetings when  it deems  appropriate  and is  required  under Minnesota  law  to
schedule  regular or  special meetings  in certain  circumstances. Additionally,
under Section  16(c) of  the  Investment Company  Act,  the Company's  Board  of
Directors must promptly call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting
upon  the question of removal of any director when requested in writing to do so
by the record holders of not less than ten percent of the Company's  outstanding
shares

    Under   Minnesota  law,  the  Company's   Board  of  Directors  has  overall
responsibility for managing the  Company in good faith,  in a manner  reasonably
believed  to be in the Company's best interests, and with the care an ordinarily
prudent person in a like position  would exercise in similar circumstances.  The
Company's  Articles  of  Incorporation  limit  the  liability  of  the Company's
officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

    The Company and the  Investment Adviser have adopted  a Code of Ethics  that
has  been  filed  with the  SEC  as  an exhibit  to  the  Company's Registration
Statement (of which  this Prospectus is  a part).  The Code of  Ethics does  not
permit  any director, officer or employee of the Company, the Investment Adviser
or the Distributor, other than the Company's directors and officers who are  not
interested  persons of  the Company, the  Investment Adviser  or the Distributor
(collectively, the  "Disinterested Directors  and  Officers"), to  purchase  any
security  in  which the  Fund  is permitted  to invest.  If  such person  owns a
security in  which, following  its purchase  by such  person, the  Fund  becomes
permitted to invest, the person would not be permitted to acquire any additional
interest in such security and must observe strict limitations in connection with
any  disposition  of such  security.  Disinterested Directors  and  Officers are
permitted to purchase and sell securities in which the Fund may invest, but  may
not  effect any purchase or sale at any time during which the Fund has a pending
buy or sell  order for  the same  security. Information  about how  the Code  of
Ethics  can  be inspected  or  copied at  the  SEC's public  reference  rooms or
obtained at  the SEC's  headquarters is  available through  the SEC's  toll-free
telephone number, (800) SEC-0330.

    For  a further discussion of the above matters, see "General Information" in
the Statement of Additional Information.

<PAGE>
                                                                      APPENDIX A

            GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS AND RISKS OF FUTURES AND OPTIONS

STOCK INDEX FUTURES, OPTIONS ON STOCK INDICES AND OPTIONS ON STOCK INDEX FUTURES
CONTRACTS

    The Fund may purchase and sell stock index futures, options on stock indices
and options on stock index futures contracts as a hedge against movements in the
equity markets.

    A  stock index futures contract is an agreement in which one party agrees to
deliver to the other an amount of  cash equal to a specific dollar amount  times
the  difference between the value of a specific  stock index at the close of the
last trading day of the contract and  the price at which the agreement is  made.
No physical delivery of securities is made.

    Options  on stock  indices are  similar to  options on  specific securities,
described below, except that, rather than the right to take or make delivery  of
the  specific security at a specific price, an option on a stock index gives the
holder the right to receive, upon exercise  of the option, an amount of cash  if
the  closing level of  that stock index is  greater than, in the  case of a call
option, or less than,  in the case of  a put option, the  exercise price of  the
option.  This amount  of cash  is equal to  such difference  between the closing
price of the index  and the exercise  price of the  option expressed in  dollars
times a specified multiple. The writer of the option is obligated, in return for
the  premium  received,  to make  delivery  of  this amount.  Unlike  options on
specific securities, all settlements of options on stock indices are in cash and
gain or loss depends on  general movements in the  stocks included in the  index
rather  than  price movements  in particular  stocks. Currently,  options traded
include the S&P 100 Index, the S&P 500 Index, the NYSE Composite Index, the AMEX
Market Value  Index,  the National  Over-the-Counter  Index and  other  standard
broadly  based stock market indices. Options are also traded in certain industry
or market segment indices such as the Computer Technology Index.

    If the Investment Adviser  expects general stock market  prices to rise,  it
might  purchase a stock index futures contract,  or a call option on that index,
as a hedge  against an  increase in prices  of particular  equity securities  it
wants  ultimately  to  buy. If  the  stock index  does  rise, the  price  of the
particular equity securities  intended to  be purchased may  also increase,  but
that increase would be offset in part by the increase in the value of the Fund's
futures  contract or index option resulting from  the increase in the index. If,
on the other hand, the Investment Adviser expects general stock market prices to
decline, it might  sell a futures  contract, or  purchase a put  option, on  the
index.  If that  index does  decline, the  value of  some or  all of  the equity
securities in the  Fund's portfolio may  also be expected  to decline, but  that
decrease  would be  offset in part  by the increase  in the value  of the Fund's
position in such futures contract or put option.

    The Fund may purchase and write call and put options on stock index  futures
contracts. The Fund may use such options on futures contracts in connection with
its  hedging strategies in lieu of purchasing and selling the underlying futures
or purchasing and writing options directly on the underlying securities or stock
indices. For example, the Fund may purchase put options or write call options on
stock index futures, rather than selling futures contracts, in anticipation of a
decline in general  stock market prices  or purchase call  options or write  put
options  on stock index  futures, rather than purchasing  such futures, to hedge
against possible increases  in the  price of  equity securities  which the  Fund
intends to purchase.

                                      A-1
<PAGE>
    In  connection with transactions in stock index futures, stock index options
and options on  stock index futures,  the Fund  will be required  to deposit  as
"initial  margin" an  amount of cash  and short-term  U.S. Government securities
equal to from 5% to 8%  of the contract amount. Thereafter, subsequent  payments
(referred  to as "variation margin") are made  to and from the broker to reflect
changes in the value of the futures contract.

OPTIONS ON SECURITIES

    The Fund may write covered  put and call options  and purchase put and  call
options  on  the securities  in  which it  may invest  that  are traded  on U.S.
securities exchanges. The Fund may also write call options that are not  covered
for cross-hedging purposes.

    The  writer  of an  option  may have  no  control over  when  the underlying
securities must be sold, in the case of a call option, or purchased, in the case
of a put option; the writer may be assigned an exercise notice at any time prior
to the  termination  of  the  obligation.  Whether  or  not  an  option  expires
unexercised,  the  writer retains  the amount  of the  premium. This  amount, of
course, may, in the case of a covered call option, be offset by a decline in the
market value of  the underlying  security during the  option period.  If a  call
option  is exercised, the writer  experiences a profit or  loss from the sale of
the underlying security. If a put  option is exercised, the writer must  fulfill
the  obligation to purchase the underlying  security at the exercise price which
will usually exceed the then market value of the underlying security.

    The writer of an option that wished to terminate its obligation may effect a
"closing purchase transaction." This is accomplished by buying an option of  the
same series as the option previously written. The effect of the purchase is that
the  writer's position will be canceled  by the clearing corporation. However, a
writer may not effect a closing purchase transaction after being notified of the
exercise of an option. Likewise, an investor who is the holder of an option  may
liquidate  its  position  by effecting  a  "closing sale  transaction."  This is
accomplished by selling an  option of the same  series as the option  previously
purchased.  There is no  guarantee that either  a closing purchase  or a closing
sale transaction can be effected.

    Effecting a closing transaction  in the case of  a written call option  will
permit  the Fund to  write another call  option on the  underlying security with
either a different exercise price or expiration date or both, or in the case  of
a  written put option  will permit the Fund  to write another  put option to the
extent that  the  exercise  price  thereof  is  secured  by  deposited  cash  or
short-term  securities. Also,  effecting a  closing transaction  will permit the
cash or  proceeds from  the concurrent  sale of  any securities  subject to  the
option  to be  used for other  Fund investments. If  the Fund desires  to sell a
particular security from its portfolio on which it has written a call option, it
will effect a closing transaction  prior to or concurrent  with the sale of  the
security.

    The  Fund will realize a  profit from a closing  transaction if the price of
the transaction is less than the premium received from writing the option or  is
more  than the premium paid to purchase the option; the Fund will realize a loss
from a closing  transaction if the  price of  the transaction is  more than  the
premium  received from writing  the option or  is less than  the premium paid to
purchase the option. Because increases in the market price of a call option will
generally reflect increases in the market price of the underlying security,  any
loss  resulting from the repurchase  of a call option is  likely to be offset in
whole or in part by appreciation of the underlying security owned by the Fund.

    An option position  may be closed  out only where  there exists a  secondary
market  for an option of the same series.  If a secondary market does not exist,
it might not be  possible to effect closing  transactions in particular  options
with  the result that  the Fund would have  to exercise the  options in order to
realize any  profit.  If  the  Fund  is unable  to  effect  a  closing  purchase
transaction  in a secondary market,  it will not be  able to sell the underlying
security until the option  expires or it delivers  the underlying security  upon
exercise.  Reasons  for the  absence of  a liquid  secondary market  include the
following: (a) there may  be insufficient trading  interest in certain  options;
(b)  restrictions may be imposed by  a national securities exchange ("Exchange")
on opening  transactions or  closing transactions  or both;  (c) trading  halts,
suspensions  or other  restrictions may  be imposed  with respect  to particular
classes or series of options or underlying securities; (d) unusual or unforeseen
circumstances may interrupt normal operations on an Exchange; (e) the facilities
of an Exchange  or the  Options Clearing  Corporation may  not at  all times  be
adequate  to handle current trading volume; or  (f) one or more Exchanges could,
for economic or other  reasons, decide or  be compelled at  some future date  to
discontinue the trading of options (or a particular class or series of options),
in which event the secondary market on that Exchange (or in that class or series
of  options) would cease to exist, although outstanding options on that Exchange
that had been issued by the Options  Clearing Corporation as a result of  trades
on  that  Exchange would  continue to  be exercisable  in accordance  with their
terms.

    The Fund may  write options in  connection with buy-and-write  transactions;
that  is, the Fund may purchase a security  and then write a call option against
that security. The exercise price of the call the Fund determines to write  will
depend upon the expected price movement of the underlying security. The exercise
price  of a call option may be below ("in-the-money"), equal to ("at-the-money")
or above ("out-of-the-money") the  current value of  the underlying security  at
the  time the option  is written. Buy-and-write  transactions using in-the-money
call options may be used  when it is expected that  the price of the  underlying
security  will  remain  flat or  decline  moderately during  the  option period.
Buy-and-write transactions using out-of-the-money call options may be used  when
it  is expected that the premiums received from writing the call option plus the
appreciation in the market price of  the underlying security up to the  exercise
price  will be  greater than  the appreciation  in the  price of  the underlying
security alone. If  the call  options are  exercised in  such transactions,  the
Fund's  maximum gain will be the premium  received by it for writing the option,
adjusted upwards  or downwards  by the  difference between  the Fund's  purchase
price  of the security and the exercise  price. If the options are not exercised
and the price of  the underlying security declines,  the amount of such  decline
will be offset in part, or entirely, by the premium received.

    The  writing  of covered  put  options is  similar  in terms  of risk/return
characteristics to  buy-and-write  transactions.  If the  market  price  of  the
underlying  security rises  or otherwise  is above  the exercise  price, the put
option will expire worthless and the Fund's gain will be limited to the  premium
received.  If the market price of  the underlying security declines or otherwise
is below the exercise price,  the Fund may elect to  close the position or  take
delivery of the security at the exercise price and the Fund's return will be the
premium  received from the put option minus the amount by which the market price
of the security is below the exercise price. Out-of-the-money, at-the-money  and
in-the-money put options may be used by the Fund in the same market environments
that call options are used in equivalent buy-and-write transactions.

                                      A-3
<PAGE>
    The Fund may purchase put options to hedge against a decline in the value of
its portfolio. By using put options in this way, the Fund will reduce any profit
it might otherwise have realized in the underlying security by the amount of the
premium paid for the put option and by transaction costs.

    The Fund may purchase call options to hedge against an increase in the price
of  securities that the  Fund anticipates purchasing in  the future. The premium
paid for the call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit,  if
any,  realized by the Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of
the underlying security rises sufficiently,  the option may expire worthless  to
the Fund.

RISK FACTORS IN FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS

    The  effective use  of futures and  options strategies  depends, among other
things, on the  Fund's ability  to terminate  futures and  options positions  at
times when the Investment Adviser deems it desirable to do so. Although the Fund
will  not enter into a futures or  option position unless the Investment Adviser
believes that a liquid secondary market exists for such future or option,  there
is no assurance that the Fund will be able to effect closing transactions at any
particular time or at an acceptable price.

    The  use of futures  and options involves the  risk of imperfect correlation
between movements in futures  and options prices and  movements in the price  of
securities  which are the  subject of the  hedge. Such correlation, particularly
with respect to stock index futures and options on stock indices, is  imperfect,
and such risk increases as the composition of the Fund's portfolio diverges from
the  composition of the  relevant index. The successful  use of these strategies
also depends on  the ability  of the  Investment Adviser  to correctly  forecast
general stock market price movements.

                INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS

    The   Fund's  investment  objective  and  policies  are  set  forth  in  the
Prospectus. Certain additional investment information is set forth below.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

    The Fund  has  adopted certain  FUNDAMENTAL  RESTRICTIONS that  may  not  be
changed  without approval of shareholders owning  a "majority of the outstanding
voting securities" of  the Fund,  as defined in  the Investment  Company Act  of
1940,  as amended (the  "Investment Company Act").  Under the Investment Company
Act, "majority of the outstanding voting securities" means the affirmative  vote
of  the lesser of: (a) more  than 50% of the outstanding  shares of the Fund; or
(b) 67% or  more of the  shares present  at a meeting  if more than  50% of  the
outstanding  shares are  represented at  the meeting in  person or  by proxy. As
fundamental policies, the Fund may not:

        1.   Invest more  than  25% of  its total  assets  in any  one  industry
    (securities  issued  or  guaranteed  by the  United  States  Government, its
    agencies or instrumentalities are not considered to represent industries);

        2.  With respect to 75% of the Fund's assets, invest more than 5% of the
    Fund's assets (taken  at a  market value  at the  time of  purchase) in  the
    outstanding  securities of  any single  issuer or own  more than  10% of the
    outstanding voting securities  of any one  issuer, in each  case other  than
    securities  issued  or  guaranteed  by  the  United  States  Government, its
    agencies or instrumentalities;

        3.   Borrow  money  or  issue  senior  securities  (as  defined  in  the
    Investment  Company  Act) except  that the  Fund may  borrow in  amounts not
    exceeding 15% of  its total  assets from  banks for  temporary or  emergency
    purposes,  including the meeting of  redemption requests which might require
    the untimely disposition of securities;

        4.  Make loans of  securities to other persons in  excess of 25% of  its
    total  assets; provided the Fund may invest without limitation in short-term
    obligations  (including  repurchase  agreements)  and  publicly  distributed
    obligations;

        5.   Underwrite securities of other  issuers, except insofar as the Fund
    may be deemed  an underwriter under  the Securities Act  of 1933 in  selling
    portfolio securities;

        6.   Purchase  or sell  real estate  or any  interest therein, including
    interests in real estate limited  partnerships, except securities issued  by
    companies  (including  real estate  investment trusts)  that invest  in real
    estate or interests therein; or

        7.  Purchase or  sell commodities or  commodity contracts, except  that,
    for  the purpose of hedging, it may enter into contracts for the purchase or
    sale of debt and/or equity securities for future delivery, including futures
    contracts and options on domestic and foreign securities indices.

    In addition to the foregoing fundamental restrictions, the Fund has  adopted
certain  NON-FUNDAMENTAL RESTRICTIONS, which may be  changed by the Fund's Board
of Directors without the approval of the Fund's shareholders. As non-fundamental
policies, the Fund may not:

        1.  Invest in securities issued by other investment companies in  excess
    of limitations imposed by federal and applicable state law;

                                      B-2
<PAGE>
        2.     Make  investments  for  the  purpose  of  exercising  control  or
    management;

        3.  Invest more than 10% of its assets in illiquid securities;

        4.  Invest more than 10% of its assets in the outstanding securities  of
    any single issuer;

        5.   Purchase or sell interests in oil, gas or other mineral exploration
    or development plans or leases;

        6.  Pledge,  mortgage or  hypothecate its  assets other  than to  secure
    borrowings   permitted  by  Fundamental   Restriction  3  above  (collateral
    arrangements with respect  to margin  requirements for  options and  futures
    transactions  are  not  deemed  to be  pledges  or  hypothecations  for this
    purpose);

        7.  Purchase  securities on margin,  or make short  sales of  securities
    (other than short sales "against the box"), except for the use of short-term
    credit  necessary  for the  clearance of  purchases  and sales  of portfolio
    securities, but it may make margin deposits in connection with  transactions
    in options, futures and options on futures;

        8.  Invest in warrants if at the time of acquisition more than 5% of its
    total  assets,  taken at  market value  at  the time  of purchase,  would be
    invested in warrants, and if at the time of action more than 2% of its total
    assets, taken at market value at the time of purchase, would be invested  in
    warrants  not traded on  the New York  Stock Exchange. For  purposes of this
    restriction,  warrants  acquired  by  the  Fund  in  units  or  attached  to
    securities may be deemed to be without value;

        9.   Invest more than  10% of its total  assets in securities of issuers
    which together with any predecessors have a record of less than three  years
    of continuous operation;

        10.  Own more than 10%  of the outstanding voting  securities of any one
    issuer; or

        11. Purchase equity securities in private placements.

        12. Purchase puts, calls, straddles, spreads and any combination thereof
    if by reason thereof  the value of the  Fund's aggregate investment in  such
    instruments (at the time of purchase) will exceed 5% of its total assets.

        13.  Purchase or retain  the securities of any  issuer if the Investment
    Adviser or any  officer or director  of the Fund  or the Investment  Adviser
    that individually owns 1/2 of 1% of the total outstanding securities of such
    issuer  collectively own more than 5%  of the outstanding securities of such
    issuer.

        14. Invest more than 15% of its total assets collectively in  restricted
    securities   AND  in  securities  of  issuers  which,  together  with  their
    predecessors,  have  a  record  of  less  than  three  years  of  continuous
    operations.

    With  respect  to  each  of the  foregoing  fundamental  and non-fundamental
investment restrictions  involving  a percentage  of  the Fund's  assets,  if  a
percentage  restriction or limitation is adhered to at the time of an investment
or sale (other than a maturity) of  a security, a later increase or decrease  in
such  percentage resulting  from a change  of values  or net assets  will not be
considered a violation thereof. If  and to the extent  that the Fund invests  in
the  securities of other  investment companies, the  Investment Adviser will not
charge duplicate investment management fees on such investments.

                                      B-3

                                     TAXES

    The Fund  intends  to qualify  as  a "regulated  investment  company"  under
Subchapter  M of the Internal Revenue Code  of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). To
so qualify, the Fund must, among other  things: (a) derive in each taxable  year
at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, payments with respect
to  securities  loans,  gains  from  the sale  or  other  disposition  of stock,
securities or foreign currencies,  or other income derived  with respect to  its
business  of investing  in such stock,  securities or currencies;  (b) derive in
each taxable year  less than  30% of  its gross income  from the  sale or  other
disposition  of stock  or securities, or  options, futures,  and certain forward
contracts or foreign currencies held for less than three months; and (c) satisfy
certain diversification requirements at the close of each quarter of the  Fund's
taxable year.

    As  a regulated investment company, the Fund  will not be liable for federal
income taxes on the part  of its taxable net  investment income and net  capital
gains,  if any, that it distributes  to shareholders, provided it distributes at
least 90% of its "investment company taxable income" (as that term is defined in
the Code) to Fund shareholders in each taxable year. However, if for any taxable
year a Fund does not satisfy the  requirements of Subchapter M of the Code,  all
of  its taxable income will be subject to tax at regular corporate rates without
any deduction for distributions to shareholders, and such distributions will  be
taxable  to shareholders as ordinary income to  the extent of the Fund's current
or accumulated earnings and profits.

    The Fund will be  liable for a  nondeductible 4% excise  tax on amounts  not
distributed  on a timely  basis in accordance with  a calendar year distribution
requirement. To  avoid  the  tax,  during  each  calendar  year  the  Fund  must
distribute:  (i) at least  98% of its  taxable ordinary income  (not taking into
account any capital gains or losses) for the calendar year; (ii) at least 98% of
its capital gain net income for the twelve month period ending on October 31 (or
December 31, if the  Fund so elects);  and (iii) any portion  (not taxed to  the
Fund)  of the respective balances  from the prior year.  To the extent possible,
the Fund intends to make sufficient distributions to avoid this 4% excise tax.

    The Fund, or the shareholder's broker with respect to the Fund, is  required
to  withhold federal  income tax at  a rate  of 31% of  dividends, capital gains
distributions and proceeds of redemptions if a shareholder fails to furnish  the
Fund with a correct taxpayer identification number ("TIN") or to certify that he
is exempt from such withholding, or if the Internal Revenue Service notifies the
Fund  or broker that the shareholder has provided the Fund with an incorrect TIN
or failed to properly report dividend or interest income for federal income  tax
purposes. Any such withheld amount will be fully creditable on the shareholder's
federal income tax return. An individual's TIN is his social security number.

    The  Fund  may  write,  purchase  or  sell  options  or  futures  contracts.
Generally, options and futures contracts that are "Section 1256 contracts"  will
be "marked to market" for federal income tax purposes at the end of each taxable
year, I.E., each option or futures contract will be treated as sold for its fair
market value on the last day of the taxable year. Gain or loss from transactions
in options and futures contracts that are subject to the "marked to market" rule
will be 60% long-term and 40% short-term capital gain or loss. However, the Fund
may  be eligible to  make a special  election under which  certain "Section 1256
contracts" would not be subject to the "marked to market" rule.

                                      B-4
<PAGE>
    Code Section  1092, which  applies to  certain "straddles,"  may affect  the
taxation  of the  Fund's transactions  in options  and futures  contracts. Under
Section 1092, the Fund may be required to postpone recognition for tax  purposes
of losses incurred in certain closing transactions in options and futures.

    One of the requirements for qualification as a registered investment company
is  that less than 30% of the Fund's gross income may be derived from gains from
the sale  or other  disposition of  securities, including  options, futures  and
forward contracts, held for less than three months. Accordingly, the Fund may be
restricted  in effecting closing transactions within three months after entering
into an option or futures contract.

              ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATIVE AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

    Jundt Associates, Inc. (the "Investment  Adviser") has been retained as  the
Fund's  investment adviser pursuant to  an investment advisory agreement entered
into by and  between the  Company and  the Investment  Adviser (the  "Investment
Advisory  Agreement"). Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the
Investment Adviser furnishes continuing investment  supervision to the Fund  and
is  responsible for the  management of the  Fund's portfolio. The responsibility
for making decisions to buy, sell or  hold a particular security rests with  the
Investment Adviser, subject to review by the Company's Board of Directors.

    The  Investment Adviser furnishes  office space, equipment  and personnel to
the Fund  in  connection  with  the performance  of  its  investment  management
responsibilities. In addition, the Investment Adviser pays the salaries and fees
of  all officers  and directors of  the Fund  who are affiliated  persons of the
Investment Adviser.

    The Fund  pays all  other expenses  incurred in  the operation  of the  Fund
including,  but  not limited  to,  brokerage and  commission  expenses; interest
charges; fees and expenses of legal counsel and independent auditors; the Fund's
organizational and offering expenses, whether or not advanced by the  Investment
Adviser;  taxes and governmental fees; expenses (including clerical expenses) of
issuance, sale or  repurchase of  the Fund's  shares; membership  fees in  trade
associations; expenses of registering and qualifying shares of the Fund for sale
under  federal and state securities laws;  expenses of printing and distributing
reports, notices  and  proxy materials  to  existing shareholders;  expenses  of
regular  and special shareholders meetings; expenses of filing reports and other
documents with  governmental  agencies;  charges  and  expenses  of  the  Fund's
administrator,  custodian and registrar, transfer  agent and dividend disbursing
agent; expenses of disbursing dividends  and distributions; compensation of  the
Company's  officers, directors  and employees  who are  not affiliated  with the
Investment Adviser; travel expenses of  directors of the Company for  attendance
at  meetings of the Board of  Directors; insurance expenses; indemnification and
other expenses not expressly provided for in the Investment Advisory  Agreement;
and any extraordinary expenses of a non-recurring nature.

    For  its services, the  Investment Adviser receives from  the Fund a monthly
fee at an annual rate of 1% of  the Fund's average daily net assets. These  fees
exceed those paid by most other investment companies.

    The  Investment Advisory Agreement continues in effect from year to year, if
specifically  approved  at  least  annually  by  a  majority  of  the  Company's
directors, including a majority of the directors who

                                      B-5
<PAGE>
are  not "interested persons" (as defined in  the Investment Company Act) of the
Company or  the Investment  Adviser ("Independent  Directors") at  a meeting  in
person.  The Investment Advisory Agreement may be terminated by either party, by
the Independent Directors  or by  a vote  of the holders  of a  majority of  the
outstanding  securities of  the Company, at  any time, without  penalty, upon 60
days'  written  notice,  and  automatically  terminates  in  the  event  of  its
"assignment" (as defined in the Investment Company Act).

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS, BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS AND PORTFOLIO TURNOVER RATE

    Subject  to policies established by the  Company's Board of Directors of the
Fund, the Investment Adviser is responsible for investment decisions and for the
execution of the Fund's  portfolio transactions. The Fund  has no obligation  to
deal  with any particular broker  or dealer in the  execution of transactions in
portfolio securities.  In executing  such transactions,  the Investment  Adviser
seeks  to obtain the  best price and  execution for its  transactions. While the
Investment Adviser generally seeks reasonably competitive commission rates,  the
Fund does not necessarily pay the lowest commission.

ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT

    Under  the terms  of an  administration agreement  by and  between Princeton
Administrators, L.P. (the "Administrator") and the Company (the  "Administration
Agreement"),  the Administrator performs or arranges  for the performance of the
following administrative services: (a) maintenance and keeping of certain  books
and records of the Fund; (b) preparation or review and, subject to the Company's
review,  filing certain reports  and other documents  required by federal, state
and other  applicable  U.S.  laws  and regulations  to  maintain  the  Company's
registration  as an open-end investment company; (c) coordination of tax related
matters; (d) response to inquiries  from Fund shareholders; (e) calculation  and
dissemination  for publication of the net asset  value of the Fund's shares; (f)
oversight and, as the Company's Board  of Directors may request, preparation  of
reports  and  recommendations  to  the  Company's  Board  of  Directors  on  the
performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Fund  by
others, including the Fund's custodian and any subcustodian, registrar, transfer
agency, and dividend disbursing agent, as well as accounting, auditing and other
services;  (g)  provision  of  competent  personnel  and  administrative offices
necessary to  perform  its  services under  the  Administration  Agreement;  (h)
arrangement  for  the  payment  of Fund  expenses;  (i)  consultations  with the
Company's officers and various service providers in establishing the  accounting
policies  of the Fund; (j) preparation of such financial information and reports
as may be  required by  any banks  from which the  Fund borrows  funds; and  (k)
provision  of such assistance  to the Investment Adviser,  the custodian and any
subcustodian, and the Fund's counsel and  auditors as generally may be  required
to  carry  on  properly the  business  and  operations of  the  Fund.  Under the
Administration Agreement, the Company agrees to cause the Fund's transfer  agent
to  timely deliver to the Administrator such  information as may be necessary or
appropriate  for   the   Administrator's   performance   of   its   duties   and
responsibilities to the Fund.

    The  Administrator is  obligated, at its  expense, to  provide office space,
facilities, equipment and necessary personnel  in connection with its  provision
of  services under the Administration Agreement;  however, the Fund (in addition
to the fees payable to the Administrator under the Administration Agreement,  as
described  below) has  agreed to pay  reasonable travel expenses  of persons who
perform administrative,  clerical and  bookkeeping functions  on behalf  of  the
Fund.  Additionally,  the  expenses  of  legal  counsel  and  accounting experts
retained by  the Administrator,  after consulting  with the  Fund's counsel  and
independent  auditors, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the
Administrator's provision of services to the  Fund, are deemed expenses of,  and
shall be paid by, the Fund.

                                      B-6
<PAGE>
    For the services rendered to the Fund and the facilities furnished, the Fund
is  obliged  to pay  the  Administrator, subject  to  an annual  minimum  fee of
$125,000, a monthly fee at an annual rate  of .20% of the first $600 million  of
the  Fund's average daily net  assets and .175% of  the Fund's average daily net
assets in excess of $600 million. For  the period ending December 31, 1996,  the
Administrator has agreed to waive its $125,000 annual minimum fee.

    The  Administration  Agreement  will  remain  in  effect  unless  and  until
terminated in  accordance with  its terms.  It may  be terminated  at any  time,
without the payment of any penalty, by the Company on sixty days' written notice
to  the Administrator and by the Administrator on ninety days' written notice to
the Company. The Administration Agreement terminates automatically in the  event
of its assignment.

    The  principal address of the Administrator is P.O. Box 9011, Princeton, New
Jersey 08543.

THE DISTRIBUTOR

    Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement by and between U.S. Growth Investments,
Inc. (the "Distributor")  and the  Company (the  "Distribution Agreement"),  the
Distributor serves as the principal underwriter of the Fund's shares. The Fund's
shares  are offered continuously by and through the Distributor. As agent of the
Fund, the Distributor  accepts orders for  the purchase and  redemption of  Fund
shares. The Distributor may enter into selling agreements with other dealers and
financial   institutions,  pursuant  to  which  such  dealers  and/or  financial
institutions also may sell Fund shares.

RULE 12B-1 DISTRIBUTION PLANS

    Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act provides that any payments  made
by  the Fund (or any  Class thereof) in connection  with the distribution of its
shares must be pursuant to a written plan describing all material aspects of the
proposed financing  of distribution  and  that any  agreements entered  into  in
furtherance  of the plan  must likewise be  in writing. In  accordance with Rule
12b-1, the Fund adopted a separate Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan for each of  its
Class  B, Class C and  Class D shares. There is  no Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan
for the Fund's Class A shares.

    Rule 12b-1  requires  that the  Distribution  Plans (the  "Plans")  and  the
Distribution  Agreement be approved initially, and thereafter at least annually,
by a  vote of  the Company's  Board of  Directors including  a majority  of  the
directors  who are not interested persons of  the Company and who have no direct
or indirect interest in the operation of the Plans or in any agreement  relating
to  the Plans, cast in person  at a meeting called for  the purpose of voting on
the plan or agreement. Rule 12b-1  requires that the Distribution Agreement  and
each Plan provide, in substance:

        (a)  that it shall continue in effect for a period of more than one year
    from the date of its execution or adoption only so long as such  continuance
    is  specifically approved at  least annually in the  manner described in the
    preceding paragraph;

        (b) that any person authorized to direct the disposition of moneys  paid
    or  payable by the Fund pursuant to  the Plan or any related agreement shall
    provide to the Company's Board of Directors, and the directors shall review,
    at least quarterly,  a written  report of the  amounts so  expended and  the
    purposes for which such expenditures were made; and

        (c)  in the case of a  Plan, that it may be  terminated at any time by a
    vote of a majority of  the members of the  Company's Board of Directors  who
    are not interested persons of the Company

                                      B-7
<PAGE>
    and  who have no direct  or indirect financial interest  in the operation of
    the Plan or in any agreements related to the Plan or by a vote of a majority
    of the outstanding voting  shares of each affected  Class or Classes of  the
    Fund's shares.

    Rule  12b-1  further requires  that  none of  the  Plans may  be  amended to
increase materially the amount to be spent for distribution without approval  by
the  shareholders  of  the  affected  Class or  Classes  and  that  all material
amendments of the Plan must be approved in the manner described in the paragraph
preceding clause (a) above.

    Rule 12b-1 provides  that the  Fund may  rely upon  Rule 12b-1  only if  the
selection  and nomination of the Company's disinterested directors are committed
to the discretion of such disinterested directors. Rule 12b-1 provides that  the
Fund  may implement  or continue  the Plans  only if  the directors  who vote to
approve such  implementation  or  continuation  conclude,  in  the  exercise  of
reasonable  business judgment and in light of their fiduciary duties under state
law, and under Sections 36(a) and (b) of the Investment Company Act, that  there
is  a  reasonable  likelihood that  each  Plan  will benefit  the  Fund  and its
shareholders. The Company's  Board of Directors  has concluded that  there is  a
reasonable  likelihood that the Distribution Plans will benefit the Fund and its
shareholders.

    Under its Distribution Plan, each of Class  B, Class C and Class D pays  the
Distributor  a Rule 12b-1 "account maintenance fee"  equal on an annual basis to
 .25% of  the average  daily net  assets attributable  to each  such Class.  This
account  maintenance fee is  designed to compensate  the Distributor and certain
broker-dealers and financial institutions with which the Distributor has entered
into selling arrangements for the provision  of certain services to the  holders
of  Fund shares, including, but not limited to, answering shareholder questions,
providing shareholders with reports and other information and providing  various
other services relating to the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

    The  Distribution Plans of  Class B and  Class C provide  for the additional
payment of  a Rule  12b-1 "distribution  fee" to  the Distributor,  equal on  an
annual basis to .75% of the average daily net assets attributable to such Class.
This  fee is designed to compensate  the Distributor for advertising, marketing,
and distributing the  Class B  and Class C  shares, including  the provision  of
initial   and   ongoing   sales   compensation   to   the   Distributor's  sales
representatives and  to other  broker-dealers  and financial  institutions  with
which the Distributor has entered into selling arrangements.

                             SPECIAL PURCHASE PLANS

    AUTOMATIC  INVESTMENT PLAN.   As a  convenience to investors,  shares may be
purchased through a preauthorized automatic investment plan. Such  preauthorized
investments  (at least $50)  may be used to  purchase shares of  the Fund at the
public offering price  next determined  after the Fund  receives the  investment
(normally  the 5th of each month, or  the next business day thereafter). Further
information is available from the Distributor.

    COMBINED PURCHASE PRIVILEGE.  The  following persons (or groups of  persons)
may qualify for reductions from the front-end sales charge ("FESC") schedule for
Class  D shares set forth in the  Prospectus by combining purchases of any Class
of Fund shares,  if the combined  purchase of  all Fund shares  totals at  least
$25,000:

        (i)  an individual or a  "company" as defined in  Section 2(a)(8) of the
    Investment Company Act;

                                      B-8
<PAGE>
        (ii)  an  individual,  his  or  her  spouse  and  their  children  under
    twenty-one, purchasing for his, her or their own account;

       (iii)  a trustee or other fiduciary  purchasing for a single trust estate
    or single fiduciary  account (including a  pension, profit-sharing or  other
    employee  benefit trust) created pursuant to  a plan qualified under Section
    401 of the Code;

       (iv) tax-exempt  organizations enumerated  in  Section 501(c)(3)  of  the
    Code;

        (v)  employee  benefit  plans  of a  single  employer  or  of affiliated
    employers;

       (vi) any organized group  which has been in  existence for more than  six
    months,  provided  that  it  is  not organized  for  the  purpose  of buying
    redeemable securities of a registered investment company, and provided  that
    the  purchase is made through a  central administration, or through a single
    dealer, or  by  other means  which  result in  economy  of sales  effort  or
    expense.  An organized group  does not include a  group of individuals whose
    sole organizational connection is participation  as credit cardholders of  a
    company,  policyholders of an insurance company,  customers of either a bank
    or broker-dealer, or clients of an investment adviser.

    CUMULATIVE QUANTITY DISCOUNT (RIGHT OF ACCUMULATION).  A purchase of Class D
shares may qualify for a Cumulative Quantity Discount. The applicable FESC  will
then be based on the total of:

        (i) the investor's current purchase; and

        (ii)  the net asset value (at the close of business on the previous day)
    of Fund shares held by the investor; and

       (iii) the net asset value of shares of any Class of Fund shares owned  by
    another shareholder eligible to participate with the investor in a "Combined
    Purchase Privilege" (see above).

    For  example, if an investor owned shares  worth $15,000 at the then current
net asset value and purchased an additional $10,000 of shares, the sales  charge
for  the $10,000 purchase  would be at  the rate applicable  to a single $25,000
purchase.

    To qualify for the Combined Purchase  Privilege or to obtain the  Cumulative
Quantity Discount on a purchase through an investment dealer, when each purchase
is made the investor or dealer must provide the Fund with sufficient information
to verify that the purchase qualifies for the privilege or discount.

    LETTER  OF INTENTION.  Investors wishing to purchase Class D shares may also
obtain the reduced FESC shown in the Prospectus by means of a written Letter  of
Intention,  which expresses  the investor's  intention to  invest not  less than
$25,000 (including certain "credits," as described below) within a period of  13
months  in any Class  of Fund share. Each  purchase of shares  under a Letter of
Intention will be made at  the public offering price  applicable at the time  of
such  purchase to  a single  transaction of the  dollar amount  indicated in the
Letter. A Letter of Intention may include purchases of shares made not more than
90 days prior to the date that an investor signs a Letter of Intention; however,
the 13-month period during which the Letter is in effect will begin on the  date
of  the earliest purchase to be  included. Investors qualifying for the Combined
Purchase Privilege described above may purchase shares under a single Letter  of
Intention.

    For example, assume that on the date an investor signs a Letter of Intention
to  invest  at  least  $25,000 as  set  forth  above and  the  investor  and the
investor's spouse and children under twenty-one

                                      B-9
<PAGE>
have previously invested $10,000 in shares which are still held by such persons.
It will only  be necessary to  invest a total  of $15,000 during  the 13  months
following  the first date of purchase of such shares in order to qualify for the
sales charges applicable to investments of $25,000.

    The Letter of  Intention is not  a binding obligation  upon the investor  to
purchase  the  full amount  indicated. The  minimum  initial investment  under a
Letter of Intention is 5% of such amount. Shares purchased with the first 5%  of
such  amount will be held in escrow to secure payment of the higher sales charge
applicable to the shares actually purchased if the full amount indicated is  not
purchased. When the full amount indicated has been purchased, the escrow will be
released.  To the extent that an investor  purchases more than the dollar amount
indicated on the  Letter of Intention  and qualifies for  further reduced  sales
charges,  the sales charges will be adjusted  for the entire amount purchased at
the end of the 13-month period. The difference in sales charges will be used  to
purchase  additional shares at the then current offering price applicable to the
actual amount of the aggregate purchases.

    Investors electing  to take  advantage  of the  Letter of  Intention  should
carefully  review the appropriate  provisions on the  general authorization form
attached to the Prospectus.

                          MONTHLY CASH WITHDRAWAL PLAN

    Any investor who owns or buys shares  of the Fund valued at $10,000 or  more
at  the current offering price may open  a Withdrawal Plan and have a designated
sum of  money  paid  monthly to  the  investor  or another  person.  Shares  are
deposited  in a Withdrawal Plan account  and all distributions are reinvested in
additional shares of the Fund  at net asset value.  Shares in a Withdrawal  Plan
account  are then redeemed at  net asset value to  make each withdrawal payment.
Deferred sales charges may apply  to monthly redemptions of shares.  Redemptions
for  the purpose  of withdrawal are  made on  the 20th of  the month  (or on the
preceding business day if the 20th falls on  a weekend or is a holiday) at  that
day's  closing net asset value, and checks  are mailed on the next business day.
Payments will  be made  to the  registered shareholder  or to  another party  if
preauthorized  by the registered shareholder. As withdrawal payments may include
a return on principal, they cannot be considered a guaranteed annuity or  actual
yield  of income to the investor. The  redemption of shares in connection with a
Withdrawal Plan  may  result in  a  gain or  loss  for tax  purposes.  Continued
withdrawals  in  excess  of income  will  reduce and  possibly  exhaust invested
principal, especially in  the event of  a market decline.  The maintenance of  a
Withdrawal  Plan concurrently  with purchases  of additional  shares of  a Class
which imposes an FESC would normally be disadvantageous to the investor  because
of  the FESC  payable on such  purchases. For  this reason, an  investor may not
maintain an Automatic Investment Plan for the accumulation of shares of a  Class
which  imposes an FESC (other than  through reinvestment of distributions) and a
Withdrawal Plan at the same time. The cost of administering Withdrawal Plans  is
borne by the Fund as an expense of all shareholders. The Fund or the Distributor
may  terminate  or change  the terms  of the  Withdrawal Plan  at any  time. The
Withdrawal Plan is fully voluntary and  may be terminated by the shareholder  at
any time without the imposition of any penalty.

    Since  the Withdrawal Plan may involve invasion of capital, investors should
consider carefully with their own financial advisers whether the Withdrawal Plan
and  the  specified   amounts  to   be  withdrawn  are   appropriate  in   their
circumstances.  The  Fund makes  no recommendations  or representations  in this
regard.

                        DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

    The net asset  value per share  is calculated separately  for each Class  of
shares.  The  assets and  liabilities attributable  to each  Class of  shares is
determined in  accordance  with  generally accepted  accounting  principles  and
applicable SEC rules and regulations.

    The  portfolio securities in which the  Fund invests fluctuate in value, and
hence the Fund's  net asset  value per share  also fluctuates.  On December  21,
1995,  the net  asset value  per share of  each Class  of the  Fund's shares was
calculated as follows:

Class A Shares:

<TABLE>
<C>                                  <S>
         Net Assets ($97,000)
    --------------------------      =   Net Asset Value Per Class A Share ($10.00)
    Shares Outstanding (9,700)
</TABLE>

Class B Shares:

<TABLE>
<C>                                  <S>
          Net Assets ($1,000)
    --------------------------      =   Net Asset Value Per Class B Share ($10.00)
     Shares Outstanding (100)
</TABLE>

Class C Shares:

<TABLE>
<C>                                       <S>
            Net Assets ($1,000)
       --------------------------        =   Net Asset Value Per Class C Share ($10.00)
        Shares Outstanding (100)
</TABLE>

Class D Shares:

<TABLE>
<C>                                       <S>
            Net Assets ($1,000)
       --------------------------        =   Net Asset Value Per Class D Share ($10.00)
        Shares Outstanding (100)
</TABLE>

                        CALCULATION OF PERFORMANCE DATA

    For purposes of quoting and comparing  the performance of each Class of  the
Fund's shares to that of other mutual funds and to other relevant market indices
in  advertisements or in  reports to shareholders, performance  may be stated in
terms of "average annual total return" or "cumulative total return." These total
return quotations are and will be computed separately for each Class of  shares.
Under  the rules of the SEC,  funds advertising performance must include average
annual total return quotations calculated according to the following formula:

                                P(1+T)(n) = ERV

<TABLE>
<C>        <C>        <S>
 Where: P      =      a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000;
        T      =      average annual total return;
        n      =      number of years; and
      ERV      =      ending redeemable value at the end of the period of a hypothetical
                      $1,000 payment made at the beginning of such period.
</TABLE>

    This calculation assumes all dividends  and capital gains distributions  are
reinvested at net asset value on the appropriate reinvestment dates as described
in  the Prospectus, and includes all recurring fees, such as investment advisory
and management fees, charged to all shareholder accounts.

                                      B-11
<PAGE>
    Cumulative total return  is computed  by finding  the cumulative  compounded
rate  of return over the period indicated in the advertisement that would equate
the initial amount  invested to the  ending redeemable value,  according to  the
following formula:

                                     ERV - P
                             CTR = (________) x 100
                                        P

<TABLE>
<C>           <C>        <S>
  Where: CTR      =      Cumulative total return;
         ERV      =      ending redeemable value at the end of the period of a hypothetical
                         $1,000 payment made at the beginning of such period; and
           P      =      initial payment of $1,000.
</TABLE>

    This  calculation assumes all  dividends and capital  gain distributions are
reinvested at net asset value on the appropriate reinvestment dates as described
in the Prospectus, and includes all recurring fees, such as investment  advisory
and management fees, charged to all shareholder accounts.

    Under  each of the above formulas, the time periods used in advertising will
be based on  rolling calendar  quarters, updated  to the  last day  of the  most
recent quarter prior to submission of the advertisement for publication.

    The  average  annual  total  return  and  cumulative  total  return  figures
calculated in accordance with the foregoing formulas assume in the case of Class
D shares  the maximum  FESC  has been  deducted  from the  hypothetical  initial
investment  at the time of purchase, or in the case of Class B or Class C shares
the maximum applicable CDSC  has been paid upon  the hypothetical redemption  of
the shares at the end of the period.

    Past performance is not predictive of future performance. All advertisements
containing  performance data of  any kind will include  a legend disclosing that
such performance data represents past performance and that the 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.

    Advertisements and communications may compare the performance of Fund shares
with that of other mutual funds, as reported by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
or similar independent services or financial publications, and may also contrast
the  Fund's  investment policies  and  portfolio flexibility  with  other mutual
funds.  From  time  to  time,  advertisements  and  other  Fund  materials   and
communications  may cite statistics to reflect the performance over time of Fund
shares, utilizing generally  accepted indices  or analyses,  including, but  not
limited  to,  those published  by Lipper  Analytical  Service, Inc.,  Standard &
Poor's Corporation,  Dow Jones  & Company,  Inc., CDA  Investment  Technologies,
Inc.,  Morningstar, Inc.  and Investment Company  Data Incorporated. Performance
ratings reported periodically  in national  financial publications  also may  be
used.  In addition, advertising  materials may include  the Investment Adviser's
analysis of,  or outlook  for, the  economy or  financial markets,  compare  the
Investment  Adviser's  analysis  or outlook  with  the  views of  others  in the
financial community  and  refer to  the  expertise of  the  Investment  Advisers
personnel and their reputation in the financial community.

                              COUNSEL AND AUDITORS

    Faegre &  Benson Professional  Limited Liability  Partnership, 2200  Norwest
Center,  90 South  Seventh Street, Minneapolis,  Minnesota 55402,  serves as the
Fund's general counsel.  KPMG Peat Marwick  LLP, 4200 Norwest  Center, 90  South
Seventh   Street,  Minneapolis,  Minnesota  55402,  has  been  selected  as  the
independent auditors of the Fund for  its fiscal years ending December 31,  1995
and 1996, respectively.

                              GENERAL INFORMATION

    Under  Minnesota law, each Company director owes certain fiduciary duties to
the Company and  to its  shareholders. Minnesota  law provides  that a  director
"shall  discharge the  duties of the  position of  director in good  faith, in a
manner the  director reasonably  believes to  be  in the  best interest  of  the
corporation,  and with the  care an ordinary  prudent person in  a like position
would exercise under similar circumstances." Fiduciary duties of a director of a
Minnesota corporation include, therefore,  both a duty of  "loyalty" (to act  in
good  faith and act in a manner reasonably  believed to be in the best interests
of the corporation) and  a duty of  "care" (to act with  the care an  ordinarily
prudent  person in a like position  would exercise under similar circumstances).
Minnesota law authorizes  corporations to  eliminate or limit  the liability  of
directors:  (a)  for any  breach  of the  directors'  duty of  "loyalty"  to the
corporation or its shareholders; (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith  or
that  involve intentional misconduct or a  knowing violation of Minnesota law or
for violation of certain provisions of Minnesota securities laws; or (c) for any
transaction from which the directors  derived an improper personal benefit.  The
Company's  Articles  of  Incorporation  limit  the  liability  of  the Company's
directors to the

                                      B-15
<PAGE>
fullest extent permitted by Minnesota statutes,  except to the extent that  such
liability  cannot be  limited as provided  in the Investment  Company Act (which
prohibits any  provisions which  purport  to limit  the liability  of  directors
arising from such directors' willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or
reckless  disregard  of the  duties involved  in  the conduct  of their  role as
directors).

    Minnesota law does not eliminate the duty of "care" imposed upon a director.
It only authorizes a corporation to eliminate monetary liability for  violations
of  that duty. Minnesota law, further, does not permit elimination or limitation
of liability of  "officers" to  the corporation for  breach of  their duties  as
officers  (including the liability of directors who serve as officers for breach
of their duties as  officer). Minnesota law does  not permit elimination of  the
availability  of equitable relief,  such as injunctive  or rescissionary relief.
These remedies, however,  may be  ineffective in  situations where  shareholders
become  aware of  such a  breach after  a transaction  has been  consummated and
rescission has  become  impractical.  Further, Minnesota  law  does  not  permit
elimination  or limitation of a director's liability under the Securities Act of
1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and it is uncertain whether and  to
what  extent the elimination of monetary liability would extend to violations of
duties imposed on  directors by  the Investment Company  Act and  the rules  and
regulations thereunder.

    The  Company  is  not  required  under  Minnesota  law  to  hold  annual  or
periodically scheduled  regular meetings  of shareholders.  Regular and  special
shareholder  meetings are  held only  at such times  and with  such frequency as
required by law. Minnesota corporation law  provides for the Board of  Directors
to  convene shareholder  meetings when it  deems appropriate. In  addition, if a
regular meeting  of  shareholders  has  not been  held  during  the  immediately
preceding fifteen months, a shareholder or shareholders holding three percent or
more  of  the voting  shares  of the  Company may  demand  a regular  meeting of
shareholders of  the Company  by written  notice of  demand given  to the  chief

The Board of Directors and Shareholder
Jundt Funds, Inc.:

    We have  audited the  statement  of assets  and  liabilities of  Jundt  U.S.
Emerging  Growth Fund  (a series  within Jundt Funds,  Inc.) as  of December 22,
1995. This financial statement is  the responsibility of the Fund's  management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on
our audit.

    We  conducted  our  audit  in accordance  with  generally  accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to  obtain
reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statement is free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence  supporting
the  amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. Our procedures included
confirmation of cash in bank by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by  management,  as   well  as  evaluating   the  overall  financial   statement
presentation.  We believe  that our  audit provides  a reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

    In our opinion, the  statement of assets and  liabilities referred to  above
presents  fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Jundt U.S.
Emerging Growth Fund at December 22, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted

                  NOTES TO STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

                               DECEMBER 22, 1995

(1) ORGANIZATION
    Jundt Funds, Inc.  was incorporated on  October 26, 1995  and is  registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as a diversified, open-end
management  investment company. Jundt U.S. Emerging  Growth Fund (the Fund) is a
series within Jundt Funds, Inc.

    The Fund currently issues  Class A, Class  B, Class C,  and Class D  shares.
Class  A shares are offered for  sale exclusively to certain specified investors
and are not  offered for sale  to the general  public. Class B  shares are  sold
subject  to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) payable upon redemption if
redeemed within six years and automatically convert to Class D shares  following
the  eighth anniversary of their sale. Class C shares are sold subject to a CDSC
if redeemed within one year and do not have a conversion feature. Class D shares
are sold subject to a front-end sales charge.

    All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other
rights, and the  same terms  and conditions, except  that the  level of  certain
class  specific fees  and expenses  may differ  among classes.  Income, expenses
(other than class specific expenses) and realized and unrealized gains or losses
on investments are allocated to each class of shares based upon its relative net
assets.

    The only transaction of the Fund  since inception has been the initial  sale
on  December 21, 1995  of 9,700 shares  of Class A,  100 shares of  Class B, 100
shares of Class C,  and 100 shares of  Class D to James  R. Jundt, President  of
Jundt Funds, Inc.

(2) FEDERAL TAXES
    The  Fund intends  to comply with  the requirements of  the Internal Revenue
Code applicable  to regulated  investment companies  and to  distribute  taxable
income  to the shareholders in amounts that will avoid federal income and excise
taxes.

(3) FEES AND EXPENSES
    The Fund  has  entered into  an  investment advisory  agreement  with  Jundt
Associates, Inc. (the Adviser) under which the Adviser manages the Fund's assets
and  provides  related  office  space,  equipment  and  personnel.  The  fee for
investment management and advisory  services is based on  the average daily  net
assets of the Fund at the annual rate of 1.00%.

    The  Fund has adopted  separate plans of distribution  applicable to Class B
shares, Class C shares and Class D shares, respectively, relating to the payment
of certain distribution  expenses pursuant  to Rule 12b-1  under the  Investment
Company Act of 1940 (as amended). The Fund pays distribution fees to U.S. Growth
Investments,  Inc., the principal underwriter and distributor, to be used to pay
certain expenses incurred in  the distribution, promotion  and servicing of  the
Fund's  shares. The Class B and Class C  distribution plans provide for a fee at
an annual rate of 1.00% of average daily net assets of Class B shares and  Class
C  shares, respectively. The 1.00% fee is  comprised of a 0.75% distribution fee
and a 0.25% service fee. The Class D plan provides for a 0.25% service fee.

    The  Fund  has  entered  into  an  administrative  services  agreement  with
Princeton Administrators, L.P. for accounting and other administrative services.

                  NOTES TO STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

                               DECEMBER 22, 1995

(3) FEES AND EXPENSES (CONTINUED)
greater  of $125,000 per annum or an annual  rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average
daily net assets (the fee is reduced to 0.175% for the Fund's average daily  net
assets  in excess  of $600  million). The  annual minimum  of $125,000  has been
waived through December 31, 1996.

    The Fund  also  bears certain  other  operating expenses  including  outside
directors'  fees,  custodian  fees,  registration  fees,  organizational  costs,
printing and  shareholder reporting,  legal, auditing,  and other  miscellaneous
expenses.

(4) ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS
    The  Fund expects  to incur organizational  expenses in  connection with the
start-up and initial  registration of the  Fund. These costs  will be  amortized
over  60  months on  a straight-line  basis beginning  with the  commencement of
operations. If any  or all  of the  shares held  by James  R. Jundt  (or by  any
subsequent  holder of such shares) representing  initial capital of the Fund are
redeemed prior to the  end of the amortization  period, the redemption  proceeds
will be reduced by the pro rata share of the unamortized expenses as of the date
of  redemption. The pro rata share by which the proceeds will be reduced will be
derived by dividing the number of  original shares redeemed by the total  number
of original shares outstanding at the time of redemption.

    Legal  fees of approximately $30,000, included as organizational costs, were
incurred for services provided by a law firm of which the Fund's secretary is  a
partner.
