Item 27.   Indemnification.

     Under Section 4.3 of the Registrant's Declaration of Trust, any past or
present Trustee or officer of the Registrant (including persons who serve at the
Registrant's request as directors, officers or trustees of another organization
in which the Registrant has any interest as a shareholder, creditor or
otherwise) (hereinafter referred to as a "Covered Person") shall be indemnified
to the fullest extent permitted by law against all liability and all expenses
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any claim, action, suit or
proceeding to which he or she may be a party or otherwise involved by reason of
his or her being or having been a Covered Person. That provision does not
authorize indemnification when it is determined, in the manner specified in the
Declaration of Trust, that such Covered Person has not acted in good faith in
the reasonable belief that his or her actions were in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Registrant. Moreover, that provision does not authorize
indemnification when it is determined, in the manner specified in the
Declaration of Trust, that such covered person would otherwise be liable to the
Registrant or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties. Expenses may be
paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of any claim, action,
suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by such Covered Person to
repay such expenses to the Registrant in the event that it is ultimately
determined that indemnification of such expenses is not authorized under the
Declaration of Trust and the Covered Person either provides security for such
undertaking or insures the Registrant against losses from such advances or the
disinterested Trustees or independent legal counsel determines, in the manner
specified in the Declaration of Trust, that there is reason to believe the
Covered Person will be found to be entitled to indemnification. This description
is modified in its entirety by the provision of Section 4.3 of the Registrant's
Declaration of Trust contained in the Registration Statement filed on December
12, 1995 as Exhibit No. 1 and incorporated herein by reference.

   
     The Distribution Agreement, the Custodian Agreement, the Transfer Agency
Services Agreement and the Administration Agreement (the "Agreements") (Exhibit
6(a), Exhibit 8(a), Exhibit 9(a)(i) and Exhibit 9(c)(i), respectively, to
Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement and incorporated
herein by reference) provide for indemnification. The general effect of these
provisions is to indemnify entities contracting with the Trust against liability
and expenses in certain circumstances. This description is modified in its
entirety by the provisions of the Agreements as contained in this Registration
Statement and incorporated herein by reference.
    

<PAGE>

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), may be permitted to Trustees,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a Trustee, officer
or controlling person of the Registrant in connection with the successful
defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the
Registrant by such Trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the
shares being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.

     Registrant and its Trustees, officers and employees are insured, under a
policy of insurance maintained by the Registrant, within the limits and subject
to the limitations of the policy, against certain expenses in connection with
the defense of actions, suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities that might
be imposed as a result of such actions, suits or proceedings, to which they are
parties by reason of being or having been such Trustees or officers. The policy
expressly excludes coverage for any Trustee or officer for any claim arising out
of any fraudulent act or omission, any dishonest act or omission or any criminal
act or omission of the Trustee or officer.

                    SCHEDULES FOR COMPUTATION OF PERFORMANCE

30-Day Yield

The 30-day yield is computed by dividing a Fund's net investment income per
share earned during the period by the net asset value on the last day of the
period. The average daily number of shares outstanding during the period that
are eligible to receive dividends is used in determining the net investment
income per share. Income is computed by totaling the interest earned on all debt
obligations during the period and subtracting from that amount the total of all
recurring expenses incurred during the period. The 30-day yield is then
annualized assuming semi-annual reinvestment and compounding of net investment
income.

The following table shows 30-day yields for the period ended December 31, 1996,
for Class A Shares and Institutional Shares of the following Funds:

                                                      30-day Yield

Total Return

Total Return is computed by assuming a hypothetical initial investment of
$10,000 and reflects the imposition of the maximum sales charge. It is assumed
that all of the dividends and distributions by each Fund over the specified
period of time were reinvested. It was then assumed that at the end of the
specified period, the entire amount was redeemed. The average annual total
return was then calculated by calculating the annual rate required for the
initial investment to grow to the amount that would have been received upon
redemption. The average annual return is calculated according to the following
formula:

                                  P(1+T)^n = ERV

P    =    A hypothetical initial payment of $10,000
T    =    Average annual total return
n    =    Number of years

<PAGE>

ERV  =    Ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $10,000 payment made at the
          beginning of the one-, five-, or 10-year period (or fractional portion
          thereof)

The following table shows average annual total return for the one year, five
year, ten year and since inception periods (or shorter period if the Fund has
been in operation for a shorter period) ended December 31, 1996 for Class A
Shares and Institutional Shares of the following Funds. The actual date of the
commencement of each Fund's operations, or the commencement of the offering of
each Class' Shares, is listed in the Funds' financial statements.
