Defined Asset FundsSM
Defined Asset Funds is America's oldest and largest family of unit investment
trusts, with over $115 billion sponsored in the last 25 years. Each Defined
Asset Fund is a portfolio of preselected securities. The portfolio is divided
into 'units' representing equal shares of the underlying assets. Each unit
receives an equal share of income and principal distributions.
 
Defined Asset Funds offer several defined 'distinctives'. You know in advance
what you are investing in and that changes in the portfolio are limited - a
defined portfolio. Most defined bond funds pay interest monthly - defined
income. The portfolio offers a convenient and simple way to invest - simplicity
defined.
 
Your financial professional can help you select a Defined Asset Fund to meet
your personal investment objectives. Our size and market presence enable us to
offer a wide variety of investments. The Defined Asset Funds family offers:
 
  o Municipal bond portfolios
o Corporate bond portfolios
o Government bond portfolios
o Equity portfolios
o International bond and equity portfolios
 
The terms of Defined Funds are as short as one year or as long as 30 years.
Special defined bond funds are available including: insured funds, double and
triple tax-free funds and funds with 'laddered maturities' to help protect
against changing interest rates. Defined Asset Funds are offered by prospectus
only.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
Defining Your Portfolio
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
 
The 45 stocks represented in the Fund are issued primarily by companies that are
among the largest non-U.S. companies in annual revenue, with established records
of earnings and uninterrupted dividend payments over at least 10 years as of the
initial deposit--what are generally considered to be 'blue chip' stocks.
Investing in the Portfolio, rather than in only a few of the underlying stocks
diversifies your investment.
 
Based upon current market values, the following countries are represented in the
Portfolio:

- ----------------------------------------------------------------
Defining Your Risks
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
 
The Portfolio is concentrated in financial services/insurance/banking stocks.
Each issuer is a foreign issuer. Investing in securities of foreign issuers
involves risks that are different from investing in securities of domestic
issuers. (See Risk Factors in Part B.)
 
The Portfolio may not be appropriate for investors who are unable or unwilling
to assume the increased risks involved generally with an international equity
investment. The Portfolio should be considered a vehicle for investing a portion
of your assets in foreign securities and not as a complete equity investment
program.
 
Unit price fluctuates with the value of the Portfolio, which could be affected
by changes in the financial condition of the issuers, changes in the economies
of the various countries represented in the Portfolio,
 
                                      A-2
<PAGE>
currency exchange rate fluctuations, movements in stock prices generally, the
impact of the Sponsor's
 
purchase and sale of securities for the Portfolio and other factors. Therefore,
there is no guarantee that the objective of the Portfolio will be achieved.
 
Unlike a mutual fund, the Portfolio is not actively managed and the Sponsors
receive no management fee. Therefore, the adverse financial condition of an
issuer or any market movement in the price of a security will not necessarily
require the sale of securities from the Portfolio or mean that the Sponsors will
not continue to purchase the security in order to create additional Units.
Although the Portfolio is regularly reviewed and evaluated and Sponsors may
instruct the Trustee to sell securities under certain limited circumstances,
securities will not be sold to take advantage of market fluctuations or changes
in anticipated rates of appreciation.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
Defining Your Investment
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
 
PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE PER 1,000 UNITS                 $1,243.68
 
The Public Offering Price as of July 31, 1998, the evaluation date, is based on
the aggregate value of the underlying securities ($66,570,097) and cash held to
purchase securities, divided by the number of units outstanding (55,040,361)
times 1,000, plus the initial sales charge. The Public Offering Price on any
subsequent date will vary. The underlying securities are valued by the Trustee
on the basis of their closing sale prices at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on every
business day.
 
SALES CHARGES
 
The total sales charge for this investment combines an initial up-front sales
charge and a deferred sales charge that will be deducted from the net asset
value of the Portfolio quarterly on the 10th of each February, May, August and
November.
 
SEMI-ANNUAL INCOME DISTRIBUTIONS
 
You will receive distributions of dividend income on the 25th day of June and
December each year if you own Units on the 10th of those months. In order to
meet certain tax requirements, a special distribution of income, including
capital gains, may be declared for holders of record as of a date in December,
which special distribution will generally be paid after the end of the year.
 
                                      A-3
<PAGE>
REINVESTMENT OPTION
 
You can elect to automatically reinvest your distributions into additional units
of the Portfolio subject only to the deferred sales charge remaining at the time
of reinvestment. Reinvesting helps to compound your income for a greater total
return.
 
TAXES
 
Distributions which are taxable as ordinary income to investors will constitute
dividends for Federal income tax purposes but will not be eligible for the
dividends-received deduction for certain corporations.
 
Noncorporate investors who have held their Units for more than one year may be
entitled to a 20% maximum federal tax rate for capital gains from the Fund. (As
a result of recent changes in law, the 18 months holding period discussed in
Part B no longer applies). Dividends received by the Fund will in most cases be
subject to foreign withholding taxes, which investors may be able to credit
against their Federal income tax liability. (See Taxes in Part B.) Foreign
holders should be aware that distributions from the Fund will generally be
subject to information reporting and withholding taxes.
 
TERMINATION DATE
 
The Portfolio will terminate by August 31, 2001. The final distribution will be
made within a reasonable time afterward. The Portfolio may be terminated earlier
if its value is less than 40% of the value of the securities when deposited.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------
Defining Your Costs
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
SALES CHARGE
 
First-time investors pay a 2.75% sales charge when they buy. In addition, a
deferred sales charge of $1.625 per 1,000 units will be deducted from the
Portfolio's net asset value each quarter ($26.00 total). This deferred method of
payment keeps more of your money invested over a longer period of time. Although
this is a unit investment trust rather than a mutual fund, the following
information is presented to permit a comparison of fees and an understanding of
the direct or indirect costs and expenses that you pay.

                                 -----------------  ---------------
Maximum Sales Charge Imposed on
  Reinvested Dividends                    1.44%       $     17.88

 
ESTIMATED ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES
 

                                                    Amount per
                                                   1,000 Units
                                                  ---------------
Trustee's Fee                                        $    0.84
Portfolio Supervision, Bookkeeping and
  Administrative Fees                                $    0.45
Organizational Expenses                              $    0.58
Other Operating Expenses                             $    2.53
                                                  ---------------
TOTAL                                                $    4.40

 
This Portfolio (and therefore the investors) will bear all or a portion of its
organizational costs--including costs of preparing the registration statement,
the trust indenture and other closing documents, registering units with the SEC
and the states and the initial audit of the Portfolio--as is common for mutual
funds.
 
REDEEMING OR SELLING YOUR INVESTMENT
 
You may redeem or sell your units at any time prior to the termination of the
Portfolio. Your price will be based on the then current net asset value. The
redemption and secondary market repurchase price as of July 31, 1998 was
$1,209.48 per 1,000 units.
 
If you sell your units before the termination of the Portfolio, no further
deferred sales charges will be deducted.

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a Unit
     Investment Trust. The following is a summary of significant accounting
     policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its
     financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles.

     (a) Securities are stated at value: for securities listed on a national
         securities exchange, value is based on the closing sale price on such
         exchange and, for securities not so listed, value is based on current
         bid price on the over-the-counter market. Realized gains or losses on
         sales of securities are determined using the first-in, first-out cost
         method. See "How to Sell Units - Trustee's Redemption of Units" in
         this Prospectus, Part B.

     (b) The Fund is not subject to income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for
         such taxes is required.

     (c) Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates.

  2. DISTRIBUTIONS

     A distribution of net investment income is made to Holders on the
     twenty-fifth day of each month. Receipts other than dividends, after
     deductions for redemptions and applicable expenses, are distributed
     as explained in "Income, Distribution and Reinvestment - Distribution"
     in this Prospectus, Part B.
