FUND HIGHLIGHTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following questions and answers are designed to
give you an overview of the SunAmerica Style Select
Series, Inc. (the "Fund"), and to provide you with
information about six of the Fund's separate
Portfolios and their investment goals, principal
strategies, and principal investment techniques.
Each goal may be changed without shareholder
approval, although you will receive notice of any
change. There can be no assurance that any
Portfolio's investment goal will be met or that the
net return on an investment in a Portfolio will
exceed what could have been obtained through other
investment or savings vehicles. More complete
investment information is provided in chart form,
under "More Information About the Portfolios," which
is on page 16, and the glossary that follows on
page 20.

</TABLE>
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FOCUSED TECHNET
PORTFOLIO'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES
The Portfolio will invest in up to thirty companies
whose principal businesses the Advisers believe will
significantly benefit from advances or improvements
in technology ("technology companies"). Technology
companies include companies in many industries that
rely extensively on technology in their product
development or operations, are expected to benefit
from technological advances and improvements, or may
be experiencing growth in sales and earnings driven
by technology related research, products or
services.
The broad industry categories in which technology
companies may be found include computer software and
hardware, network and capital broadcasting, internet
and internet-related businesses, the development,
production, sale, and distribution of goods or
services used in the broadcast and media industries,
communications services or equipment, the design,
manufacture, or sale of electric components, defense
and data storage and retrieval, healthcare and
biotechnology. The relative size of the Portfolio's
investment within these industries will vary from
time to time, and at times, one of these industries
may not be represented in the Portfolio's holdings.
The Portfolio will significantly invest, under
normal market conditions, in internet and
internet-related businesses. These companies include
e-commerce enterprises as well as those that develop
services and products for the internet. The Advisers
may rotate the Portfolio's holdings out of internet
or internet-related companies for temporary
defensive purposes or if market conditions warrant.
Q&A
When deemed appropriate by an Adviser, a Portfolio may engage in ACTIVE TRADING
when it frequently trades its portfolio securities to achieve its investment
goal.
A FOCUS strategy is one in which an Adviser actively invests in a small number
of holdings which constitute its favorite stock-picking ideas at any given
moment. A focus philosophy reflects the belief that, over time, the performance
of most investment managers' "highest confidence" stocks exceeds that of their
more diversified portfolios. Each FOCUS PORTFOLIO Adviser and FOCUSED TECHNET
PORTFOLIO Adviser will invest in up to ten securities, while each FOCUSED
GROWTH AND INCOME PORTFOLIO Adviser may invest in up to 30 securities. Each
Adviser may invest in additional financial instruments for the purpose of cash
management or to hedge a security in the Portfolio.
The "GROWTH" ORIENTED philosophy to which the Aggressive Growth and Focus
Portfolios subscribe--that of investing in securities which are believed to
offer the potential for capital appreciation--focuses on securities considered
to have a historical record of above-average growth rate; to have significant
growth potential; to have above-average earnings growth or value or the ability
to sustain earnings growth; to offer proven or unusual products or services; or
to operate in industries experiencing increasing demand.
The "VALUE" ORIENTED philosophy to which the Large-Cap Value, Value and
Small-Cap Value Portfolios subscribe--that of investing in securities believed
to be undervalued in the market--reflects a contrarian approach, in that the
potential for superior relative performance is believed to be highest when
stocks of fundamentally solid companies are out of favor. The selection
criteria is usually calculated to identify stocks of companies with solid
financial strength and generous dividend yields that have low price-earnings
ratios and have generally been overlooked by the market.
The strategy of "INTERNATIONAL" INVESTING that the International Equity
Portfolio follows involves investing in at least three countries outside of the
United States, and may incorporate, in any combination, elements of value
investing, growth investing, and country allocation.
"COUNTRY ALLOCATION" is an investment strategy by which an Adviser purchases
securities based on research involving investment opportunities in particular
countries or regions, as opposed to opportunities in particular industries or
types of stocks. This research may include, but is not limited to, data and
forecasts about general regional economic strength, political and economic
stability, and valuation of currency.
MARKET CAPITALIZATION represents the total market value of the outstanding
securities of a corporation.
-------------------
2
<PAGE>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MARKET CAPITALIZATION RANGES
Companies are determined to be large-cap companies,
mid-cap companies, or small-cap companies based upon
the market capitalization ranges prescribed by the
Style Box categories designed by Morningstar, Inc.
Morningstar, Inc. may change the Style Box market
capitalization ranges over time as market conditions
and broad market valuations vary. The Portfolios'
market capitalization ranges will change as the
Morningstar categories vary. Currently, these market
capitalization ranges are as follows: $1.5 billion
or less for the Small-Cap category; between $1.5
billion and $9.5 billion for the Mid-Cap category;
and $9.5 billion or more for the Large-Cap category.
Under normal circumstances, at least 65% of the
total assets of each Style-based Portfolio will be
invested in companies with market capitalizations
within the Portfolio's applicable range. Also, the
median market capitalization of the companies within
each Portfolio will fall within its applicable
range.
Q: WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE
PORTFOLIOS?
A: The following section describes the principal
risks of each Portfolio, while the chart on
page 16 describes various additional risks.
RISKS OF INVESTING IN EQUITY SECURITIES
All of the Portfolios invest primarily in equity
securities. As with any equity fund, the value of
your investment in any of these Portfolios may
fluctuate in response to stock market movements. You
should be aware that the performance of different
types of equity stocks may rise or decline under
varying market conditions-for example, "value"
stocks may perform well under circumstances in which
"growth" stocks in general have fallen. In addition,
individual stocks selected for any of these
Portfolios may underperform the market generally.
RISKS OF NON-DIVERSIFICATION
Each Portfolio is non-diversified, which means that
it can invest a larger portion of its assets in the
stock of a single company than can some other mutual
funds; by concentrating in a smaller number of
stocks, the Portfolio's risk is increased because
the effect of each stock on the Portfolio's
performance is greater.
-------------------
3
<PAGE>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FUND HIGHLIGHTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADDITIONAL PRINCIPAL RISKS
Shares of the Portfolios are not bank deposits and
are not guaranteed or insured by any bank,
government entity or the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. As with any mutual fund, there is no
guarantee that a Portfolio will be able to achieve
its investment goals. If the value of the assets of
a Portfolio goes down, you could lose money.
RISKS OF INVESTING IN TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES
Technology companies may react similarly to certain
market pressures and events. They may be
significantly affected by short product cycles,
aggressive pricing of products and services,
competition from new market entrants, and
obsolescence of existing technology. As a result,
the Portfolio's returns may be considerably more
volatile than a fund that does not invest in
technology companies.
RISKS OF INVESTING IN SMALL COMPANIES
Stocks of smaller companies may be more volatile
than, and not as readily marketable as, those of
larger companies.
ADDITIONAL RISKS SPECIFIC TO INTERNATIONAL INVESTING
While investing internationally may reduce your risk
by increasing the diversification of your overall
portfolio, the value of your investment may be
affected by fluctuating currency values, changing
local and regional economic, political and social
conditions, and greater market volatility, and, in
addition, foreign securities may not be as liquid as
domestic securities.
Q: HOW HAVE THE PORTFOLIOS PERFORMED HISTORICALLY?
A: The following Risk/Return Bar Charts and Tables
illustrate the risks of investing in the
Portfolios by showing changes in the Portfolios'
performance from calendar year to calendar year,
and compare the Portfolios' average annual
returns to those of an appropriate market index.
Sales charges are not reflected in the bar chart.
If these amounts were reflected, returns would be
less than those shown. Of course, past
performance is not necessarily an indication of
how a Portfolio will perform in the future.
Performance information for the Focused TechNet
Portfolio is not shown because it has not yet
been in existence for one full year.

Portfolios with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in a Portfolio for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The
Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the
Portfolio's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may
be higher or lower, based on these assumptions and the net expenses shown in the
fee table your costs would be:

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Financial Highlights table for each Portfolio is intended to help you
understand the Portfolio's financial performance since inception. Certain
information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total
returns in each table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or
lost) on an investment in a Portfolio (assuming reinvestment of all dividends
and distributions). This information has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP, whose report, along with each Portfolio's financial statements, are
included in the Fund's annual report to shareholders, which is available upon
request.

SHAREHOLDER ACCOUNT INFORMATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECTING A SHARE CLASS
Each Portfolio offers Class Z shares through this prospectus. Class Z shares are
offered exclusively for sale to participants in the SunAmerica Profit Sharing
and Retirement Plan, an employee benefit plan sponsored by Fidelity Investments
(the "401(k) Plan" or the "Plan").
OPENING AN ACCOUNT
Class Z shares of the Portfolio are offered exclusively for sale to participants
in the 401(k) Plan. Such shares may be purchased or redeemed only by the 401(k)
Plan on behalf of individual Plan participants at net asset value without any
sales or redemption charge. Class Z shares are not subject to any minimum
investment requirements. The Plan purchases and redeems shares to implement the
investment choices of individual Plan participants with respect to their
contributions in the Plan. All purchases of Portfolio shares through the Plan
will be of Class Z shares.
Inquiries regarding the purchase, redemption or exchange of Class Z shares or
the making or changing of investment choices in the 401(k) Plan should be
directed to the Fidelity Participant Center at (800) 835-5098.
TRANSACTION POLICIES
VALUATION OF SHARES. The net asset value per share (NAV) for each Portfolio and
class is determined each business day at the close of regular trading on the New
York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) by dividing the net
assets of each class by the number of such class's outstanding shares.
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at
market at their price as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock
Exchange for the day. All other securities and assets are valued at fair value
following procedures approved by the Directors.
Because Class Z shares are not subject to any distribution or service fees, the
net asset value per share of the Class Z shares will generally be higher than
the net asset value per share of each of Class A, Class B and Class II shares of
each Portfolio, except following the payment of dividends and distributions.
BUY AND SELL PRICES. When you buy Class Z shares, you pay the NAV. When you sell
Class Z shares, you receive the NAV.
EXECUTION OF REQUESTS. The net asset value per share at which shares of the
Funds are purchased or redeemed by the Plan for the accounts of individual Plan
participants might be more or less than the net asset value per share prevailing
at the time that such participants made thier investment choices or made their
contributions to the Plan. Each Portfolio is open on those days when the New
York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading. Buy and sell requests are
executed at the next NAV to be calculated after the Fund receives your request
in good order. If your order is received by the Fund or the Distributor before
the Portfolio's close of business (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time), you will
receive that day's closing price. If your order is received after that time, you
will receive the next business day's closing price. The Fund and the Distributor
reserve the right to reject any order to buy shares.
The net asset value per share at which shares of the Portfolio are purchased or
redeemed by the Plan for the accounts of individual Plan participants might be
more or less than the net asset value per share prevailing at the time that such
participants made their investment choices or made their contributions to the
Plan.
During periods of extreme volatility or market crisis, a Portfolio may
temporarily suspend the processing of sell requests, or may postpone payment of
proceeds for up to three business days or longer, as allowed by federal
securities laws. Each Portfolio may invest to a large extent in securities that
are primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days
when the Fund does not price its shares. As a result, the value of each
Portfolio's shares may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or
redeem your shares.
If the Fund determines that it would be detrimental to the best interests of the
remaining shareholders of the Fund to make payment of redemption proceeds wholly
or partly in cash, the Fund may pay the redemption price by a distribution in
kind of securities from the Fund in lieu of cash. However, the Fund has made an
election that requires it to pay a certain portion of redemption proceeds in
cash.
EXCHANGES. Class Z shareholders of one Portfolio may exchange their shares for
Class Z shares of another SunAmerica Mutual Fund on the basis of relative net
asset value per share.

SHAREHOLDER ACCOUNT INFORMATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TAX, DIVIDEND AND ACCOUNT POLICIES
ACCOUNT STATEMENTS. In general, a shareholder will receive account statements as
follows:
o after every transaction that affects your account balance (except a
dividend reinvestment)
o after any changes of name or address of the registered owner(s)
o in all other circumstances, quarterly or annually, depending upon the
Portfolio
Every year you should also receive, if applicable, a Form 1099 tax information
statement, mailed by January 31.
DIVIDENDS. The Portfolios generally distribute most or all of their net earnings
in the form of dividends. Income dividends and capital gains distributions, if
any, are paid at least annually by the Portfolios.
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENTS. Your dividends and distributions, if any, will be
automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same Portfolio and share
class on which they were paid. Alternatively, dividends and distributions may be
reinvested in any other SunAmerica Mutual Fund that offers Class Z. You will
need to complete the relevant part of the Account Application to elect one of
these other options. For existing accounts, contact your broker or financial
advisor or call Shareholder/Dealer Services at 1-800-858-8850 to change dividend
and distribution payment options.
The per share dividends on Class Z shares will generally be higher than the per
share dividends on Class A, Class B and Class II of the same Portfolio shares as
a result of the fact that Class Z shares are not subject to any distribution or
service fee.
TAXES. As a qualified plan, the 401(k) Plan generally pays no federal income
tax. Individual participants in the 401(k) Plan should consult Plan documents
and their own tax advisers for information on the tax consequences associated
with participating in the 401(k) Plan.

INVESTMENT TERMINOLOGY
GROWTH OF CAPITAL is growth of the value of an
investment.
ACTIVE TRADING means that a Portfolio may engage in
frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve
its investment goal. In addition, because a Portfolio
may sell a security without regard to how long it has
held the security, active trading may have tax
consequences for certain shareholders, involving a
possible increase in short-term capital gains or
losses. Active trading may result in high portfolio
turnover and correspondingly greater brokerage
commissions and other transaction costs, which will be
borne directly by a Portfolio. During periods of
increased market volatility, active trading may be
more pronounced.
EQUITY SECURITIES include common and preferred stocks,
convertible securities, warrants and rights.
CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES are bonds or preferred stocks
that may be exchanged for common stock of the same or
a different company.
LARGE-CAP COMPANIES are those with market caps within
the Morningstar, Inc. Large-Cap category, as described
on page 2. Currently, this range is $9.5 billion or
higher.
MID-CAP COMPANIES are those with market caps within
the Morningstar, Inc. Mid-Cap category, as described
on page 2. Currently, this range is $1.5 billion and
$9.5 billion.
SMALL-CAP COMPANIES are those with market caps within
the Morningstar, Inc. Small-Cap category, as described
on page 2. Currently, this range is $1.5 billion or
less.
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS include money market securities
such as short-term U.S. government obligations,
repurchase agreements, commercial paper, bankers'
acceptances and certificates of deposit. These
securities provide a Portfolio with sufficient
liquidity to meet redemptions and cover expenses.
DEFENSIVE INVESTMENTS include high quality fixed
income securities and money market instruments. A
Portfolio will make temporary defensive investments in
response to adverse market, economic, political or
other conditions. When a Portfolio takes a defensive
position, it may miss out on investment opportunities
that could have resulted from investing in accordance
with its principal investment strategy. As a result, a
Portfolio may not achieve its investment goal.
FOREIGN SECURITIES are issued by companies located
outside of the United States, including emerging
markets. Foreign securities may include American
Depositary Receipts (ADRs) or other similar securities
that convert into foreign securities, such as European
Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary
Receipts (GDRs).
It may be necessary under certain foreign laws, less
expensive, or more expedient to invest in FOREIGN
INVESTMENT COMPANIES, which invest in certain foreign
markets, including emerging markets. Investing through
such vehicles may involve frequent or layered fees or
expenses, and the Advisers will not invest in such
investment companies unless, in their judgment, the
potential benefits justify the payment of any
associated fees and expenses.
CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS include the purchase and sale of
currencies to facilitate securities transactions and
forward currency contracts, which are used to hedge
against changes in currency exchange rates.
LARGE-CAP COMPANIES and MID-CAP COMPANIES generally have a substantial
record of operations (i.e., in business for at least five years) and are
listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange or another national or
international stock exchange or, in some cases, are traded over the counter.
SMALL-CAP COMPANIES generally will be companies that have been in business
for a shorter period of time.

A DERIVATIVE instrument is a contract, such as an
option or a future, whose value is based on the
performance of an underlying asset.
OPTIONS AND FUTURES are contracts involving the right
to receive or obligation to deliver assets or money
depending on the performance of one or more underlying
assets or a market or economic index.
A SPECIAL SITUATION arises when, in the opinion of the
Adviser, the securities of a particular issuer will be
recognized and appreciated in value due to a specific
development with respect to that issuer. Developments
creating a special situation might include, among
others, a new product or process, a technological
breakthrough, a management change or other
extraordinary corporate event, or differences in
market supply of and demand for the security.
Investments in special situations may carry an
additional risk of loss in the event that the
anticipated development does not occur or does not
attract the expected attention.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PORTFOLIOS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RISK TERMINOLOGY
MARKET VOLATILITY: The stock and/or bond markets as a whole could go up or down
(sometimes dramatically). This could affect the value of the securities in a
Portfolio's portfolio.
SECURITIES SELECTION: A strategy used by a Portfolio, or securities selected by
its Adviser, may fail to produce the intended return.
SMALL MARKET CAPITALIZATION: Companies with smaller market capitalizations tend
to be at early stages of development with limited product lines, market access
for products, financial resources, access to new capital, or depth in
management. It may be difficult to obtain reliable information and financial
data about these companies. Consequently, the securities of smaller companies
may not be as readily marketable and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic
market movements.
TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES: The industries in which technology companies may be found
can be significantly affected by short product cycles, aggressive pricing of
products and services, competition from new market entrants, worldwide
scientific and technological developments and changes in governmental regulation
and policies.
FOREIGN EXPOSURE: Investors in foreign countries are subject to a number of
risks. A principal risk is that fluctuations in the exchange rates between the
U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect an investment. In
addition, there may be less publicly available information about a foreign
company and it may not be subject to the same uniform accounting, auditing and
financial reporting standards as U.S. companies. Foreign governments may not
regulate securities markets and companies to the same degree as the U.S.
government. Foreign investments will also be affected by local political or
economic developments and governmental actions. Consequently, foreign securities
may be less liquid, more volatile and more difficult to price than U.S.
securities. These risks are heightened when the issuer is in an emerging market.
NON-DIVERSIFICATION: By concentrating in a smaller number of stocks, a
Portfolio's risk is increased because the effect of each stock on the
Portfolio's performance is greater.
CURRENCY VOLATILITY: The value of a Portfolio's foreign portfolio investments
may fluctuate due to changes in currency rates. A decline in the value of
foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar generally can be expected to
depress the value of the Portfolio's non-dollar securities.
DERIVATIVES: Derivatives are subject to general risks relating to heightened
sensitivity to market volatility, interest rate fluctuations, illiquidity and
creditworthiness of the counterparty to the derivatives transactions.
HEDGING: Hedging is a strategy in which the Adviser uses a derivative security
to reduce certain risk characteristics of an underlying security or portfolio of
securities. While hedging strategies can be very useful and inexpensive ways of
reducing risk, they are sometimes ineffective due to unexpected changes in the
market. Moreover, while hedging can reduce or eliminate losses, it can also
reduce or eliminate gains.
EMERGING MARKETS: An emerging market country is one that the World Bank, the
International Finance Corporation or the United Nations or its authorities has
determined to have a low or middle income economy. Historical experience
indicates that the markets of emerging market countries have been more volatile
than more developed markets; however, such markets can provide higher rates of
return to investors.

FUND MANAGEMENT
MANAGER SunAmerica Asset Management Corp. selects the Advisers for the
Portfolios, may manage certain portions of Portfolios, provides various
administrative services, and supervises the daily business affairs of each
Portfolio. The Advisers are responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities
for the Portfolios, selection of broker-dealers and negotiation of commission
rates for their respective portion of the relevant Portfolio. SunAmerica may
terminate any agreement with another Adviser without shareholder approval.
Moreover, SunAmerica has received an exemptive order from the Securities and
Exchange Commission that permits SunAmerica, subject to certain conditions, to
enter into agreements relating to the Fund with Advisers approved by the Board
of Directors without obtaining shareholder approval. The exemptive order also
permits SunAmerica, subject to the approval of the Board but without shareholder
approval, to employ new Advisers for new or existing Portfolios, change the
terms of particular agreements with Advisers or continue the employment of
existing Advisers after events that would otherwise cause an automatic
termination of a subadvisory agreement. Shareholders of a Portfolio have the
right to terminate an agreement with an Adviser for that Portfolio at any time
by a vote of the majority of the outstanding voting securities of such
Portfolio. Shareholders will be notified of any Adviser changes. The order also
permits the Fund to disclose to shareholders the Advisers' fees only in the
aggregate for each Portfolio. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999, each
Portfolio paid SunAmerica a fee equal to 1.00% of average daily net assets
except the International Equity Portfolio, which paid a fee equal to 1.10% of
average daily net assets, and the Focus Portfolio, which paid a fee equal to
0.85% of average daily net assets. The annual rate of the investment advisory
fee payable by the Focused TechNet Portfolio to SunAmerica is 1.25% of average
daily net assets. Payments to subadvisers for their services are made by
SunAmerica, not by the Portfolios.
SunAmerica, located in the SunAmerica Center, 733 Third Avenue, New York, New
York 10017, was organized in 1982 under the laws of Delaware, and managed,
advised or administered assets in excess of $27 billion as of December 31, 1999.
In addition to managing the Portfolios, SunAmerica serves as adviser, manager
and/or administrator for Anchor Pathway Fund, Anchor Series Trust, Brazos Mutual
Funds Seasons Series Trust, SunAmerica Income Funds, SunAmerica Money Market
Funds, Inc., SunAmerica Strategic Investment Series, Inc. and SunAmerica Series
Trust.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE SUBADVISERS
With the exception of the International Equity Portfolio and the Focused Growth
and Income Portfolio, each of which has two different Advisers, each Portfolio
provides investors with access to at least three different professional
Advisers, each with its own distinct investment methodology within a particular
investment style. Each Adviser manages a separate portion of a Portfolio.
SunAmerica will initially allocate the assets of each Portfolio equally among
the Advisers. SunAmerica will also allocate new cash from share purchases and
redemption requests equally among the Advisers, unless SunAmerica determines,
subject to the review of the Board, that a different allocation of assets would
be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.
With respect to each Portfolio except the Focus Portfolio, SunAmerica intends,
on a quarterly basis, to review the asset allocation in each Portfolio to ensure
that no portion of assets managed by an Adviser exceeds that portion managed by
any other Adviser to the Portfolio by more than 5%. If such a condition exists,
SunAmerica will then re-allocate cash flows among the Advisers, differently from
the manner described above, in an effort to effect a re-balancing of the
Portfolio's asset allocation. SunAmerica does not intend, but reserves the
right, subject to the review of the Board, to reallocate assets from one Adviser
to another when it would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its
shareholders to do so. In some instances, the effect of the reallocation will be
to shift assets from a better performing Adviser to a portion of the Portfolio
with a relatively lower total return.
With respect to the Focus Portfolio, in general, SunAmerica will not rebalance
or reallocate the assets of the Portfolio among Advisers. However, SunAmerica
reserves the right, subject to the review of the Board, to reallocate assets
from one Adviser to another when it would be in the best interests of the
Portfolio and its shareholders to do so. In some instances, where a reallocation
results in any rebalancing of the Portfolio from a previous allocation, the
effect of the reallocation will be to shift assets from a better performing
Adviser to a portion of the Portfolio with a relatively lower total return.

Item 24. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with Registrant
There are no persons controlled by or under common control with
Registrant.
Item 25. Indemnification
5.01 Indemnification of Directors and Officers. The Corporation shall
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than a proceeding by or
in the right of the Corporation in which such person shall have been adjudged to
be liable to the Corporation), by reason of being or having been a director or
officer of the Corporation, or serving or having served at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of
another entity in which the Corporation has an interest as a shareholder,
creditor or otherwise (a "Covered Person"), against all liabilities, including
but not limited to amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or
as fines and penalties, and reasonable expenses (including attorney's fees)
actually incurred by the Covered Person in connection with any such action, suit
or proceeding, except (i) liability in connection with any proceeding in which
it is determined that (A) the act or omission of the Covered Person was material
to the matter giving rise to the proceeding, and was committed in bad faith or
was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, or (B) the Covered Person
actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services,
or (C) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Covered Person had reasonable
cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful, and (ii) liability to
the Corporation or its security holders to which the Covered Person would
otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his
office (any or all of the conduct referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) being
hereinafter referred to as "Disabling Conduct").
5.02 Procedure for Indemnification. Any indemnification under Section
5.01 shall (unless ordered by a court) be made by the Corporation only as
authorized for a specific proceeding by (i) a final decision on the merits by a
court or other body before whom the proceeding was brought that the Covered
Person to be indemnified was
C-3
<PAGE>
not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct, (ii) dismissal of the proceeding
against the Covered Person for insufficiency of evidence of any Disabling
Conduct, or (iii) a reasonable determination, based upon a review of the facts,
by a majority of a quorum of the directors who are neither "interested persons"
of the Corporation as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 nor parties
to the proceeding ("Disinterested Non-Party Directors"), or an independent legal
counsel in a written opinion, that the Covered Person was not liable by reason
of Disabling Conduct. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or
settlement shall not create a presumption that the Covered Person did not meet
the required standard of conduct; the termination of any proceeding by
conviction, or a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an
order of probation prior to judgment, shall create a rebuttable presumption that
the Covered Person did not meet the required standard of conduct. Any
determination pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall not prevent recovery from any
Covered Person of any amount paid to him in accordance with this By-Law as
indemnification if such Covered Person is subsequently adjudicated by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be liable by reason of Disabling Conduct.
5.03 Advance Payment of Expenses. Reasonable expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by a Covered Person may be paid or reimbursed by the
Corporation in advance of the final disposition of an action, suit or proceeding
upon receipt by the Corporation of (i) a written affirmation by the Covered
Person of his good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for
indemnification under this By-Law has been met and (ii) a written undertaking by
or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay the amount if it is ultimately
determined that such standard of conduct has not been met, so long as either (A)
the Covered Person has provided a security for his undertaking, (B) the
Corporation is insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances,
or (C) a majority of a quorum of the Disinterested Non-Party Directors, or an
independent legal counsel in a written opinion, has determined, based on a
review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry),
that there is reason to believe that the Covered Person ultimately will be found
entitled to indemnification.
5.04 Exclusivity, Etc. The indemnification and advance of expenses
provided by this By-Law shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which a Covered Person seeking indemnification or advance or expenses may be
entitled under any law (common or statutory), or any agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, or other provision that is consistent
with law, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another
capacity while holding office or while employed by or acting as agent for the
Corporation, shall continue in respect of all events occurring while the Covered
Person was a director or officer after such Covered Person has ceased to be a
director or officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs,
executors and administrators of such Covered Person. The Corporation shall not
be liable for any payment under this By-Law in connection with a claim made by a
director or officer to the extent such director or officer has otherwise
actually received payment, under an insurance policy, agreement, vote or
otherwise, of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder. All rights to
indemnification and advance of expenses under the Charter and hereunder shall be
deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each director or officer of
the Corporation who serves or served in such capacity at any time while this
By-Law is in effect. Nothing herein shall prevent the amendment of this By-Law,
provided that no such amendment shall diminish the rights of any Covered Person
hereunder with respect to events occurring or claims made before its adoption or
as to claims made after its adoption in respect of events occurring before its
adoption. Any repeal or modification of this By-Law shall not in any way
diminish any rights to indemnification or advance of expenses of a Covered
Person or the obligations of the Corporation arising hereunder with respect to
events occurring, or claims made, while this By-Law or any provision hereof is
in force.
5.05 Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any Covered Person against any liability asserted against him and
incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such;
provided, however, that the Corporation shall not purchase insurance to
indemnify any Covered Person against liability for Disabling Conduct.
5.06 Severability: Definitions. The invalidity or unenforceability of
any provision of this Article V shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision hereof. The phrase "this By-Law" in this Article V means
this Article V in its entirety.
C-4
<PAGE>
Section 8 of the Article of Incorporation provides as follows:
(5) The Corporation shall indemnify (i) its directors and
officers, whether serving the Corporation or at its request any other entity, to
the full extent required or permitted by the General Laws of the State of
Maryland now or hereafter in force, including the advance of expenses under the
procedures and to the full extent permitted by law, and (ii) other employees and
agents to such extent as shall be authorized by the Board of Directors or the
By-Laws of the Corporation and as permitted by law. The foregoing rights of
indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which those
seeking indemnification may be entitled. The Board of Directors may take such
action as is necessary to carry out these indemnification provisions and is
expressly empowered to adopt, approve and amend from time to time such By-Laws,
resolutions or contracts implementing such provisions or such further
indemnification arrangements as may be permitted by law. The right of
indemnification provided hereunder shall not be construed to protect any
director or officer of the Corporation against any liability to the Corporation
or its security holders to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the
duties involved in the conduct of his office.
(6) To the fullest extent permitted by Maryland statutory or
decisional law, as amended or interpreted, no director or officer of the
Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders
for money damages; provided, however, that this provision shall not be construed
to protect any director or officer against any liability to the Corporation or
its security holders to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties
involved in the conduct of his office. No amendment, modification or repeal of
this provision shall adversely affect any right or protection provided hereunder
that exists at the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.
