KAYNE ANDERSON MUTUAL FUNDS
Supplement dated October __, 1998
to Prospectus dated May 1, 1998
For shareholders and prospective shareholders of
the Kayne Anderson Small-Mid Cap Rising Dividends Fund only:
Beginning October __, 1998, this Fund changed its name to the Kayne
Anderson Small Cap Rising Dividends Fund. This Fund's investment objective of
long-term capital appreciation, with dividend income as a secondary
consideration, has not changed. The Adviser will continue to follow its "rising
dividends" philosophy for this Fund.
Under normal conditions, the Fund will now seek to maintain a weighted
average market capitalization within the range for small capitalization
companies, but typically at the very highest segment of that range. As stated in
the prospectus, the Adviser currently considers small cap companies to be those
companies having market capitalizations up to approximately $1 billion.
Because the Fund will seek to maintain an average market capitalization
for its portfolio companies of approximately $1 billion, fluctuations in the
market value for some or all of those portfolio companies may cause this Fund to
exceed (or fall below) that target temporarily. The Fund remains able to invest
in companies having market capitalizations of up to $3 billion (at the time of
investment) while being mindful of its target portfolio average of approximately
$1 billion.

Investment Management, LLC.
Messrs. Kayne and Anderson also are the sole shareholders and
directors of Kayne Anderson Investment Management, Inc., a California
corporation, the general partner of KAIM NonTraditional, L.P., a California
limited partnership and a registered investment adviser. As the sole
shareholders of Kayne Anderson Investment Management, Inc., Messrs. Kayne and
Anderson together indirectly own 84.9% of the partnership interests in KAIM
Non-Traditional, L.P.
Messrs. Kayne and Anderson together hold 86.3% of the
outstanding voting stock of KA Associates, Inc., a California corporation and a

Item 26. Number of Holders of Securities

shareholders in the International Rising Dividends Fund, 8 shareholders in the

Item 27. Indemnification
Article VII of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust empowers
the Trustees of the Trust, to the full extent permitted by law, to purchase with
Trust assets insurance for indemnification from liability and to pay for all
expenses reasonably incurred or paid or expected to be paid by a Trustee or
officer in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he or
she becomes involved by virtue of his or her capacity or former capacity with
the Trust.
Article VI of the By-Laws of the Trust provides that the Trust
shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is and other
amounts or was an agent of the Trust, against expenses, judgments, fines,
settlement and other amounts actually and reasonable incurred in connection with
such proceeding if that person acted in good faith and reasonably believed his
or her conduct to be in the best interests of the Trust. Indemnification will
not be provided in certain circumstances, however, including instances of
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, and reckless disregard of the
duties involved in the conduct of the particular office involved.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to the 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 of 1933 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 the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such Trustee, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
