FUND HIGHLIGHTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


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 Adviser may invest in up to 10 securities for
a total of up to 30 securities.  Each Adviser may invest in additional financial
securities  for the  purpose of cash  management  or to hedge a security  in the
Portfolio.

When  deemed  appropriate  by an  Adviser,  the  Portfolio  may engage in ACTIVE
TRADING  when it  frequently  trades its  portfolio  securities  to achieve  its
investment goal.

The "GROWTH"  ORIENTED  philosophy  to which the Portfolio  subscribes--that  of
investing in securities  believed to offer the potential for long-term growth of
capital--focuses  on  securities  considered  to  have a  historical  record  of
above-average  earnings growth; to have significant  growth  potential;  to have
above-average  earnings  growth or the ability to sustain  earnings  growth;  to
offer  proven or unusual  products  or  services;  or to  operate in  industries
experiencing increasing demand.

MARKET  CAPITALIZATION  represents  the total  market  value of the  outstanding
securities of a corporation.


The  following  questions  and answers  are  designed to give you an overview of
SunAmerica  Style Select  Series,  Inc.  (the  "Fund"),  and to provide you with
information about one of the Fund's separate Portfolios and its investment goal,
principal  investment  strategy,   and  principal  investment   technique.   The
investment goal may be changed without shareholder  approval,  although you will
receive notice of any change. More complete  investment  information is provided
in chart form, under "More Information About the Portfolio," which is on page 13
and the glossary that follows on page 14.

    TECHNIQUES?

                                           regard to market capitalization



SunAmerica Asset Management Corp.  ("SunAmerica") is the Portfolio's  investment
manager and will  initially  allocate the assets of the Portfolio  equally among
the  Portfolio's  two  different  professional  Advisers,   each  with  its  own
investment  methodology  within a particular  investment style.  SunAmerica also
acts as Adviser to a portion of the Portfolio.  Each Adviser  manages a separate
portion of the Portfolio using growth and focus strategies.


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PORTFOLIO'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES

The Portfolio will primarily  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:  WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIO?

A:  The following section describes the principal risks of the Portfolio,  while
    the chart on page 13 describes  principal  and  additional  risks.

RISKS OF INVESTING IN EQUITY SECURITIES

The Portfolio invests primarily in equity  securities.  As with any equity fund,
the value of your investment in the Portfolio may fluctuate in response to stock
market movements. You should be aware that the performance of different types of
equity stocks may decline under varying market conditions--for example, "growth"
stocks may perform poorly under circumstances in which "value" stocks in general
have  continued  to  rise.  In  addition,  individual  stocks  selected  for the
Portfolio may underperform the market generally.

================================================================================

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


RISKS OF NON-DIVERSIFICATION

The  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.

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.

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.

ADDITIONAL PRINCIPAL RISKS

Shares of the Portfolio are not bank deposits and are not  guaranteed or insured
by any bank, SunAmerica or SunAmerica's affiliates, any government entity or the
Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation.  As with any mutual fund,  there is no
guarantee that the Portfolio will be able to achieve its investment goal or that
the net return on an  investment  in the  Portfolio  will exceed what could have
been obtained through other investment or savings vehicles.  If the value of the
assets of the Portfolio goes down, you could lose money.

Q:  HOW HAS THE PORTFOLIO PERFORMED HISTORICALLY?

A:  Performance  information  for the Portfolio is not shown because it has been
    in existence for less than one year.

Q:  WHAT ARE THE PORTFOLIO'S EXPENSES?

A:  The following  table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you
    buy and hold shares of the Portfolio.

(1) The front-end sales charge on Class A shares decreases with the size of the
    purchase to 0% for purchases of $1 million or more.

(2) Purchases of Class A shares over $1 million will be subject to a contingent
    deferred sales charge (CDSC) on redemptions made within two years of
    purchase. The CDSC on Class B shares applies only if shares are redeemed
    within six years of their purchase. The CDSC on Class II shares applies only
    if shares are redeemed within eighteen months of their purchase. See page 5
    for more information on the CDSCs.

(3) A $15.00 fee is imposed on wire and overnight mail redemptions.

(4) Because these fees are paid out of the Portfolio's assets on an on-going
    basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and
    may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

(5) Estimated.


(6) The Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors,
    approved the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement subject to the
    Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses ratios set forth above. SunAmerica will
    waive fees and reimbursements should the Total Annual Fund Operating
    Expenses be higher than estimated. SunAmerica may not increase such ratios,
    which are contractually required by agreement with the Board of Directors,
    without the approval of the Directors, including a majority of the
    Independent Directors. The expense waivers and fee reimbursements will
    continue indefinitely, subject to termination by the Directors, including a
    majority of the Independent Directors.

EXAMPLE

This  Example is  intended  to help you  compare  the cost of  investing  in the
Portfolio with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The  Example  assumes  that you  invest  $10,000 in the  Portfolio  for the time
periods  indicated and 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:

If you redeemed your investment at the end of the periods indicated:

                                      1 Year     3 Years    5 Years    10 Years

* Class B shares convert to Class A shares approximately seven years after
  purchase as described in the section entitled "Shareholder Account
  Information" on page 5. Therefore, expense information for years 8, 9 and 10
  is the same for both Class A and Class B shares.

INVESTMENTS  OF $1  MILLION  OR  MORE.  Class A  shares  are  available  with no
front-end  sales  charge.  However,  a 1% CDSC is imposed on any shares you sell
within one year of  purchase  and a 0.50% CDSC is charged on any shares you sell
after the first year and within the second year after purchase.

CLASS B.  Shares are  offered at their net asset  value per share,  without  any
initial  sales  charge.  However,  there is a CDSC on shares you sell within six
years of buying  them.  The longer the time between the purchase and the sale of
shares,  the lower the rate of the CDSC:

Class B deferred charges:

        Years after purchase            CDSC on shares being sold

        1st or 2nd year .............   4.00%

There is also a CDSC of 1% on shares  you sell  within  18 months  after you buy
them.

DETERMINATION  OF CDSC. Each CDSC is based on the original  purchase cost or the
current  market value of the shares being sold,  whichever is less.  There is no
CDSC on shares you purchase through reinvestment of dividends. To keep your CDSC
as low as  possible,  each time you place a request to sell shares we will first
sell any shares in your account that are not subject to a CDSC. If there are not
enough of these shares available, we will sell shares that have the lowest CDSC.

FOR  PURPOSES  OF THE CDSC,  WE COUNT ALL  PURCHASES  YOU MAKE DURING A CALENDAR
MONTH AS HAVING BEEN MADE ON THE FIRST DAY OF THAT MONTH.

                                                                               5

SALES CHARGE REDUCTIONS AND WAIVERS

WAIVERS FOR CERTAIN INVESTORS. Various individuals and institutions may purchase
CLASS A shares without front-end sales charges, including:

    o financial  planners,   institutions,   broker-dealer   representatives  or
      registered   investment   advisers  utilizing  Fund  shares  in  fee-based
      investment  products under an agreement with the Distributor  (this waiver
      may also apply to front-end sales charges of Class II shares)

    o participants in certain retirement plans that meet applicable  conditions,
      as described in the Statement of Additional Information

    o Fund  Directors  and  other  individuals,  and  their  families,  who  are
      affiliated  with the  Portfolio  or any  fund  distributed  by  SunAmerica
      Capital Services, Inc.

    o selling  brokers and their employees and sales  representatives  and their
      families

    o participants in "Net Asset Value Transfer Program"

We will generally waive the CDSC for CLASS B or CLASS II shares in the following
cases:

    o within one year of the shareholder's death or becoming disabled

    o taxable  distributions  from or loans to  participants  made by  qualified
      retirement  plans or retirement  accounts (not  including  rollovers)  for
      which SunAmerica Fund Services, Inc. serves as a fiduciary


    o Fund  Directors  and  other  individuals,  and  their  families,  who  are
      affiliated  with any  Portfolio  or any  fund  distributed  by  SunAmerica
      Capital Services, Inc.


    o to make  payments  through  the  Systematic  Withdrawal  Plan  (subject to
      certain conditions)

    o participants in "Net Asset Value Transfer Program"

REDUCING YOUR CLASS A SALES CHARGES.  There are several  special  purchase plans
that allow you to combine  multiple  purchases  of Class A shares of  SunAmerica
Mutual Funds to take advantage of the breakpoints in the sales charge  schedule.
For  information  about  the  "Rights  of  Accumulation,"  "Letter  of  Intent,"
"Combined Purchase  Privilege," and "Reduced Sales Charges for Group Purchases,"
contact your broker or financial advisor, or consult the Statement of Additional
Information.

TO UTILIZE:  IF YOU THINK YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE  FOR A SALES  CHARGE  REDUCTION OR
CDSC WAIVER, CONTACT YOUR BROKER OR FINANCIAL ADVISOR.


REINSTATEMENT  PRIVILEGE.  If you sell shares of the Portfolio,  within one year
after the sale,  you may invest  some or all of the  proceeds of the sale in the
same share class of the Portfolio  without a sales charge. A shareholder may use
the reinstatement privilege only one time after selling such shares. If you paid
a CDSC when you sold your  shares,  we will credit your  account with the dollar
amount of the CDSC at the time of  sale. This  may  impact the amount of gain or
loss  recognized on the previous sale, for tax purposes.  All accounts  involved
must be registered in the same name(s).


DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12B-1) FEES

Each class of shares of each  Portfolio has its own 12b-1 plan that provides for
distribution   and  account   maintenance  and  service  fees  (payable  to  the
Distributor) based on a percentage of average daily net assets, as follows:

                                                   ACCOUNT MAINTENANCE AND
    CLASS               DISTRIBUTION FEE                 SERVICE FEE
      A                       0.10%                         0.25%
      B                       0.75%                         0.25%
     II                       0.75%                         0.25%

Because 12b-1 fees are paid out of the  Portfolio's  assets on an ongoing basis,
over time these fees will increase the cost of your  investment and may cost you
more than paying other types of sales charges.

INITIAL OFFERING OF SHARES


The Portfolio will accept orders for Class A, Class B and Class II shares of the
Portfolio  during a  pre-commencement  period  from May 1, 2000  through May 19,
2000. If you place your order for shares of the Portfolio  during this time, the
shares  will  be  issued  at a net  asset  value  of  $12.50  per  share  at the
commencement  of  operations,  which is  expected  to occur on May 22, 2000 (the
"Commencement  Date").  An initial sales charge of up to 5.75% (6.10% of the net
amount invested) is imposed on each transaction in Class A shares.  This initial
sales charge may be reduced  depending on the amount of the purchase as shown in
the table  under  "Calculation  of Sales  Charges" or the  applicability  of any
waiver or reduction of the sales charge. An initial sales charge of 1.00% (1.01%
of the net amount  invested) is imposed on each  transaction in Class II shares.
Payment for  Portfolio  shares is due when you place your order,  however,  your
money will not be transferred to the Portfolio until the  Commencement  Date. If
you purchase shares by electronic  means, no funds will be transferred until the
Commencement  Date. If you purchase shares by any other means, your payment will
be held by the Portfolio's Transfer Agent in a paid-in-waiting  status until the
Commencement Date.  Purchases held in a paid-in-waiting  status may be rescinded
at any time  prior to the  Commencement  Date and if so,  your  payment  will be
returned.  During the period between receipt of your order and the  commencement
date,  your money will not be  invested  in any manner and no  interest  will be
earned.  On the  Commencement  Date,  all  orders  received  will  settle and be
transferred to the Portfolio.

SHAREHOLDER ACCOUNT INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SELLING SHARES IN WRITING. In certain circumstances,  you will need to make your
request to sell  shares in  writing.  Corporations,  executors,  administrators,
trustees or  guardians  may need to include  additional  items with a request to
sell shares. You may also need to include a signature guarantee,  which protects
you against fraudulent orders. You will need a signature guarantee if:

    o your address of record has changed within the past 30 days

    o you are selling shares worth $100,000 or more

    o you are requesting  payment other than by a check mailed to the address of
      record and payable to the registered owner(s)

You can generally obtain a signature guarantee from the following sources:

    o a broker or securities dealer

    o a federal savings, cooperative or other type of bank

    o a savings and loan or other thrift institution

    o a credit union

    o a securities exchange or clearing agency

A notary public CANNOT provide a signature guarantee.

TRANSACTION POLICIES

VALUATION OF SHARES.  The net asset value per share (NAV) for the  Portfolio and
each 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.

BUY AND SELL PRICES.  When you buy shares,  you pay the NAV plus any  applicable
sales charges,  as described earlier.  When you sell shares, you receive the NAV
minus any applicable CDSCs.

EXECUTION  OF  REQUESTS.  The  Portfolio is open on those days when the New York
Stock Exchange is open for regular trading.  We execute buy and sell requests at
the next NAV to be calculated after the Portfolio  receives your request in good
order.  If the  Portfolio  or the  Distributor  receives  your order  before the
Portfolio's  close of business  (generally  4:00 p.m.,  Eastern time),  you will
receive that day's closing price. If the Portfolio or the  Distributor  receives
your order after that time,  you will receive the next  business  day's  closing
price. If you place your order through a broker or financial advisor, you should
make sure the order is transmitted to the Portfolio before the Portfolio's close
of business.  The Portfolio and the Distributor  reserve the right to reject any
order to buy shares.

During  periods  of extreme  volatility  or market  crisis,  the  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.

The  Portfolio may invest in  securities  that are  primarily  listed on foreign
exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the Portfolio does not price
its shares. As a result,  the value of the Portfolio's shares may change on days
when you will not be able to purchase or redeem your shares.

If the Portfolio  determines  that it would be detrimental to the best interests
of the  remaining  shareholders  of the  Portfolio to make payment of redemption
proceeds wholly or partly in cash, the Portfolio may pay the redemption price by
a distribution in kind of securities from the Portfolio in lieu of cash.

At various  times,  the Portfolio may be requested to redeem shares for which it
has not yet  received  good  payment.  The  Portfolio  may  delay or cause to be
delayed the mailing of a redemption check until such time as good payment (E.G.,
cash or certified  check drawn on a United  States bank) has been  collected for
the purchase of such shares, which will not exceed 15 days.

TELEPHONE TRANSACTIONS. For your protection,  telephone requests are recorded in
order to verify their accuracy.  In addition,  Shareholder/Dealer  Services will
take  measures to verify the  identity  of the caller,  such as asking for name,
account  number,  social security or other taxpayer ID number and other relevant
information. If appropriate measures are not taken, the Portfolio is responsible
for any loss  that may occur to any  account  due to an  unauthorized  telephone
call.  Also for your  protection,  telephone  transactions  are not permitted on
accounts whose names or addresses have changed within the past 30 days. At times
of peak activity,  it may be difficult to place requests by phone.  During these
times, consider sending your request in writing.

EXCHANGES. You may exchange shares of the Portfolio for shares of the same class
of any other fund distributed by SunAmerica Capital Services, Inc. Before making
an exchange,  you should review a copy of the  prospectus of the fund into which
you would like to exchange.  All  exchanges  are subject to  applicable  minimum
investment  requirements.  A  Systematic  Exchange  Program is  described  under
"Additional  Investor Services." An exchange is treated as a taxable sale of the
exchanged  shares  and a  purchase  of the new  shares  for  federal  income tax
purposes.

================================================================================

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


If you  exchange  shares that were  purchased  subject to a CDSC,  the CDSC will
continue to apply following the exchange.  In determining the CDSC applicable to
shares  being sold after an  exchange,  we will take into  account the length of
time you held those shares prior to the exchange.

To protect  the  interests  of other  shareholders,  we may cancel the  exchange
privileges of any investors  that,  in the opinion of the  Portfolio,  are using
market timing strategies or making excessive exchanges. The Portfolio may change
or cancel its exchange  privilege at any time,  upon 60 days' written  notice to
its shareholders. The Portfolio may also refuse any exchange order.

CERTIFICATED  SHARES.  Most shares are electronically  recorded.  If you wish to
have certificates for your shares,  please call  Shareholder/Dealer  Services at
1-800-858-8850 extension 5125, for further information. You may sell or exchange
certificated  shares only by returning the certificates to the Portfolio,  along
with a letter of instruction and a signature  guarantee.  The Portfolio does not
issue certificates for fractional shares.

MULTI-PARTY  CHECKS.  The Fund may  agree to  accept a  "multi-party  check"  in
payment for  Portfolio  shares.  This is a check made payable to the investor by
another party and then  endorsed  over to the Portfolio by the investor.  If you
use a  multi-party  check to  purchase  shares,  you may  experience  processing
delays. In addition,  the Fund is not responsible for verifying the authenticity
of any  endorsement  and assumes no liability  for any losses  resulting  from a
fraudulent endorsement.

ADDITIONAL INVESTOR SERVICES

To  select  one or more of these  additional  services,  complete  the  relevant
part(s) of the Supplemental Account Application. To add a service to an existing
account,  contact your broker or financial advisor,  or call  Shareholder/Dealer
Services at 1-800-858-8850, extension 5125.

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING lets you make regular  investments  from your bank account
to the Portfolio or any other fund distributed by SunAmerica Capital Services of
your choice. You determine the frequency and amount of your investments, and you
can terminate your participation at any time.

SYSTEMATIC  WITHDRAWAL  PLAN may be used for  routine  bill  payment or periodic
withdrawals from your account. To use:

    o Make sure you have at least $5,000 worth of shares in your account.

    o Make  sure you are not  planning  to  invest  more  money in this  account
      (buying  shares  during a period when you are also  selling  shares of the
      same fund is not advantageous to you, because of sales charges).

    o Specify the payee(s) and amount(s). The payee may be yourself or any other
      party (which may require a signature guarantee),  and there is no limit to
      the  number  of payees  you may have,  as long as they are all on the same
      payment schedule. Each withdrawal must be at least $50.

    o Determine the schedule: monthly, quarterly, semi-annually,  annually or in
      certain selected months.

    o Make sure your dividends and capital gains are being reinvested.

You  cannot  elect  the  systematic   withdrawal  plan  if  you  have  requested
certificates for your shares.

SYSTEMATIC  EXCHANGE  PROGRAM  may be used to exchange  shares of the  Portfolio
periodically  for the same class of shares of one or more other fund distributed
by SunAmerica Capital Services, Inc. To use:

    o Specify  the  SunAmerica  Mutual  Fund(s)  from which you would like money
      withdrawn and into which you would like money invested.

    o Determine the schedule: monthly, quarterly, semi-annually,  annually or in
      certain selected months.

    o Specify the amount(s). Each exchange must be worth at least $50.

    o Accounts must be registered  identically;  otherwise a signature guarantee
      will be required.

ASSET PROTECTION PLAN (OPTIONAL)  Anchor National Life Insurance  Company offers
an Asset Protection Plan to certain investors in the Portfolio.  The benefits of
this optional  coverage  payable at death will be related to the amounts paid to
purchase  Portfolio shares and to the value of the Portfolio shares held for the
benefit of the insured persons.  However, to the extent the purchased shares are
redeemed prior to death, coverage with respect to these shares will terminate.

Purchasers  of the Asset  Protection  Plan are  required to  authorize  periodic
redemptions  of Portfolio  shares to pay the premiums for this  coverage.  These
redemptions  will  not  be  subject  to  CDSCs,  but  will  have  the  same  tax
consequences as any other Portfolio redemptions.

The Asset  Protection Plan will be available to eligible  persons who enroll for
the coverage  within a limited time period  after  shares in the  Portfolio  are
initially  purchased  or  transferred.  In  addition,  coverage  cannot  be made
available  unless Anchor  National knows for whose benefit shares are purchased.
For instance,  coverage  cannot be made  available for shares  registered in the
name of your broker unless the broker provides Anchor National with  information
regarding  the  beneficial  owners  of the  shares.  In  addition,  coverage  is
available only to shares  purchased on behalf of natural  persons between 21 and
75 years of age;  coverage is not available with respect to shares purchased for
a retirement  account.  Other  restrictions on the coverage apply. This coverage
may not be available in all states and may be subject to additional restrictions
or limitations.  Purchasers of shares should also make themselves  familiar with
the impact on the Asset

                                                                              11

403(b) plans and other pension,  educational  and  profit-sharing  plans.  Using

1-800-858-8850, extension 5134.

DIVIDEND, DISTRIBUTION AND ACCOUNT POLICIES

ACCOUNT STATEMENTS. In general, you will receive account statements as follows:

    o after every  transaction  that  affects  your  account  balance  (except a
      dividend  reinvestment or automatic purchase from or automatic  redemption
      to your bank account)

    o after any changes of name or address of the registered owner(s)

    o in all other circumstances, annually

Every year you should also receive,  if applicable,  a Form 1099 tax information
statement, mailed by January 31.


DIVIDENDS.  The Portfolio generally  distributes most or all of its net earnings
in the form of dividends.  Income dividends and capital gains distributions,  if
any, are paid at least annually by the Portfolio.


DIVIDEND  REINVESTMENTS.  Your  dividends  and  distributions,  if any,  will be
automatically  reinvested in additional  shares of the same share class on which
they were paid. Alternatively,  dividends and distributions may be reinvested in
any other fund distributed by SunAmerica Capital Services,  Inc. or paid in cash
(if more than $10).  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,  extension  5125 to change  dividend  and  distribution  payment
options.

TAXABILITY  OF  DIVIDENDS.  The  Portfolio  intends to satisfy the  requirements
necessary to qualify as a regulated  investment  company for federal  income tax
purposes.  For so long as the  Portfolio  so  qualifies,  it will pay no federal
income tax on the income and capital gains that it distributes to shareholders.

Dividends you receive from the Portfolio,  whether  reinvested or taken as cash,
are generally  considered  taxable.  The Portfolio intends to make distributions
that may be taxed as ordinary  income and capital gains (which may be taxable at
different rates depending on the length of time the Portfolio holds its assets).

Some  dividends  paid in  January  may be  taxable  as if they had been paid the
previous  December.  Corporations  may be entitled to take a  dividends-received
deduction for a portion of certain dividends they receive.

The Form 1099 that is mailed to you every  January  details your  dividends  and
their federal tax category,  although you should verify your tax liability  with
your tax professional.

"BUYING  INTO A  DIVIDEND."  You should  note that if you  purchase  shares just
before a  distribution,  you will be taxed  for  that  distribution  like  other
shareholders,  even though that distribution  represents simply a return of part
of your  investment.  You may wish to defer your purchase until after the record
date for the distribution, so as to avoid this tax impact.

TAXABILITY  OF  TRANSACTIONS.  Any  time  you  sell or  exchange  shares,  it is
considered a taxable event for you. Depending on the purchase price and the sale
price of the shares you sell or  exchange,  you may have a gain or a loss on the
transaction.  You are  responsible  for any tax  liabilities  generated  by your
transactions. If you hold Class B shares, you will not have a taxable event when
they convert into Class A shares.

OTHER TAX  CONSIDERATIONS.  If you are neither a lawful permanent resident nor a
citizen of the U.S. or if you are a foreign entity,  ordinary  income  dividends
paid to you (which include  distributions of net short-term  capital gains) will
generally be subject to a 30% U.S.  withholding  tax, unless a lower treaty rate
applies.

By law, the Portfolio  must withhold 31% of your  distributions  and proceeds if
you have not  provided  a  taxpayer  identification  number or  social  security
number.

This section  summarizes some of the  consequences  under current federal income
tax  law  of an  investment  in the  Portfolio.  It is  not a  substitution  for
professional  tax advice.  Consult  your tax  advisor  about the  potential  tax
consequences of an investment in the Portfolio under all applicable laws.

SMALL ACCOUNTS. If you draw down an account so that its total value is less than
$500 ($250 for  retirement  plan  accounts),  you may be asked to purchase  more
shares  within 60 days.  If you do not take action,  the Fund may close out your
account  and mail you the  proceeds.  Alternatively,  you may be charged a $2.00
monthly charge to maintain your account.  Your account will not be closed if its
drop in value is due to Portfolio performance or the effects of sales charges.

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.

                                    GLOSSARY


INVESTMENT TERMINOLOGY


Growth of Capital is growth of the value of an investment.


ACTIVE  TRADING  means that the  Portfolio  may engage,  when the Adviser  deems
appropriate,  in  frequent  trading  of  portfolio  securities  to  achieve  its
investment goal. In addition,  because the 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 the  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.

LARGE-CAP  COMPANIES  are those with market caps  within the  Morningstar,  Inc.
Large-Cap category. Currently, this range is $9.5 billion or higher.

MID-CAP  COMPANIES  are those with  market  caps  within the  Morningstar,  Inc.
Mid-Cap category. Currently, this range is between $1.5 billion and 9.5 billion.

SMALL-CAP  COMPANIES  are those with market caps  within the  Morningstar,  Inc.
Small-Cap category. Currently, this range is $1.5 billion or less.

FOREIGN  SECURITIES are issued by companies located outside of the United States
and include securities issued by companies located in emerging markets.  Foreign
securities  may include  American  Depositary  Receipts  (ADRs) or other similar
securities that convert into foreign securities.

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 the Portfolio
with sufficient liquidity to meet redemptions and cover expenses.

DEFENSIVE  INVESTMENTS  include high quality fixed income  securities  and money
market instruments.  The Portfolio will make temporary defensive  investments in
response to adverse market,  economic,  political or other conditions.  When the
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, the Portfolio may not achieve its
investment goal.


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 financial instruments.


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.

RISK TERMINOLOGY

STOCK  MARKET  VOLATILITY:  The  stock  market  as a whole  could  go up or down
(sometimes  dramatically).  This could affect the value of the securities in the
Portfolio's portfolio.

SECURITIES SELECTION:  A strategy used by the Portfolio,  or securities selected
by an 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.

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 or emerging market  countries have been more volatile
than more developed markets;  however,  such markets can provide higher rates of
return to investors.

NON-DIVERSIFICATION:  The  Portfolio  will  hold up to thirty  securities.  As a
result, its performance may be affected more by a decline in the market price of
one stock than would be the case if the Portfolio were more diversified.


                                                                              15

FUND MANAGEMENT

MANAGER:  SunAmerica  Asset  Management  Corp.  selects  the  Advisers  for  the
Portfolio,  may manage  certain  portions of the  Portfolio  directly,  provides
various  administrative  services,  and supervises the daily business affairs of
the  Portfolio.  The  Advisers  are  responsible  for  decisions to buy and sell
securities for the Portfolio,  selection of  broker-dealers  and  negotiation of
commission rates for their respective  portion of the 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 Portfolio 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 the Portfolio
have the right to terminate  an agreement  with an Adviser at any time by a vote
of  the  majority  of  the  outstanding  voting  securities  of  the  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
the  Portfolio.  The  annual  rate of the  investment  advisory  fee  payable to
SunAmerica  is 1.25% of average  daily net assets.  Payments to the Advisers for
their services is made by SunAmerica, not by the Portfolio.

SunAmerica,  located in The SunAmerica  Center,  733 Third Avenue, New York, New
York 10017,  was  organized  in 1982 under the laws of  Delaware,  and  manages,
advises and/or administers assets in excess of $30 billion as of March 31, 2000.
In addition to managing the  Portfolio,  SunAmerica  serves as adviser,  manager
and/or administrator for Anchor Pathway Fund, Anchor Series Trust, Brazos Mutual
Funds,  Seasons Series Trust,  SunAmerica Equity Funds, Inc.,  SunAmerica Income
Funds,  SunAmerica  Money  Market  Funds,  Inc.,  SunAmerica  Series  Trust  and
SunAmerica Strategic Investment Series, Inc.


SunAmerica is the Portfolio's investment manager and will initially allocate the
assets  of the  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.


SunAmerica  intends, on a quarterly basis, to review the asset allocation in the
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 may at its discretion re-allocate cash flows among
the Advisers so as to effect a re-balancing of the Portfolio's asset allocation.
In addition,  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, 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.


                                                                              16

The  Distributor,  at its  expense,  may from  time to time  provide  additional

Q&A

================================================================================


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 Advisor may invest in up to 10 securities for
a total, in each Portfolio,  of up to 30 securities.  Each Adviser may invest in
additional  financial securities for the purposes of cash management or to hedge
a security in a Portfolio.

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.

The "GROWTH"  ORIENTED  philosophy to which the  Portfolios  subscribe--that  of
investing in securities  believed to offer the potential for long-term growth of
capital--focuses  on  securities  considered  to  have a  historical  record  of
above-average  earnings growth; to have significant  growth  potential;  to have
above-average  earnings  growth or the ability to sustain  earnings  growth;  to
offer  proven or unusual  products  or  services;  or to  operate in  industries
experiencing increasing demand.


MARKET  CAPITALIZATION  represents  the total  market  value of the  outstanding
securities of a corporation.

The  following  questions  and answers  are  designed to give you an overview of
SunAmerica  Style Select  Series,  Inc.  (the  "Fund"),  and to provide you with
information  about two of the Fund's  separate  Portfolios and their  investment
goals,  principal investment  strategies,  and principal investment  techniques.
Each Portfolio's  investment goal may be changed without  shareholder  approval,
although  you will  receive  notice  of any  change.  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 17.

SunAmerica Asset Management Corp. ("SunAmerica") is the Portfolio's investment
manager and will initially allocate the assets of the Portfolios equally among
each Portfolio's Advisers. Each Adviser manages a separate portion of a
Portfolio using growth and focus strategies.


ADDITIONAL   INFORMATION  ABOUT  THE  FOCUSED  TECHNET   PORTFOLIO'S   PRINCIPAL
INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES


The Focused TechNet 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 service.

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 in 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:   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  principal and additional risks.


     RISKS OF INVESTING IN EQUITY SECURITIES


     Each Portfolio invests primarily in equity securities. As with any equity
     fund, the value of your investment in either 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 decline under
     varying market conditions--for example, "growth" stocks may perform

<PAGE>

================================================================================

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


     poorly under circumstances in which "value" stocks in general have
     continued to rise. In addition, individual stocks
     selected  for  either  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, a Portfolio's
     risk is  increased  because  the  effect of each  stock on the  Portfolio's
     performance is greater.


     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.


     RISKS OF INVESTING  IN  TECHNOLOGY  COMPANIES (A PRINCIPAL  RISK OF FOCUSED
     TECHNET PORTFOLIO ONLY)


     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.

     ADDITIONAL PRINCIPAL RISKS


     Shares of the  Portfolios  are not bank deposits and are not  guaranteed or
     insured by any bank, SunAmerica or SunAmerica's affiliates,  any 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 goal or that the net return on an investment in a Portfolio will
     exceed what could have been obtained  through  other  investment or savings
     vehicles.  If the value of the assets of a Portfolio  goes down,  you could
     lose money.

Q:   HOW HAVE THE PORTFOLIOS PERFORMED HISTORICALLY?

A:   The  following  Risk/Return  Bar Chart and Table  illustrates  the risks of
     investing  in the Focus  Portfolio  by showing  changes in the  Portfolio's
     performance   from  calendar  year  to  calendar   year,  and  compare  the
     Portfolio's 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  and for  Class C shares  of the  Focus  Portfolio  is not  shown
     because they have been in existence for less than one year.

(1)  The front-end sales charge on Class A shares decreases with the size of the
     purchase to 0% for purchases of $1 million or more.

(2)  Purchases of Class A shares over $1 million will be subject to a contingent
     deferred  sales  charge  (CDSC) on  redemptions  made  within  two years of
     purchase.  The CDSC on Class B shares  applies  only if shares are redeemed
     within six years of their purchase. The CDSC on Class C shares applies only
     if shares are redeemed within eighteen months of their purchase. See page _
     for more information on the CDSCs.


(3)  A $15.00 fee is imposed on wire and overnight mail redemptions.

(4)  Because  these fees are paid out of the  Portfolio's  assets on an on-going
     basis,  over time these fees will increase the cost of your  investment and
     may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

(5)  Estimated.


(6)  The Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors,
     approved the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement subject to the
     Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses ratios set forth above. SunAmerica
     will waive fees and reimbursements should the Total Annual Fund Operating
     Expenses be higher than estimated. SunAmerica may not increase such ratios,
     which are contractually required by agreement with the Board of Directors,
     without the approval of the Directors, including a majority of the
     Independent Directors. The expense waivers and fee reimbursements will
     continue indefinitely, subject to termination by the Directors, including a
     majority of the Independent Directors.


                                                                               5

(1)  The front-end sales charge on Class A shares decreases with the size of the
     purchase to 0% for purchases of $1 million or more.

(2)  Purchases of Class A shares over $1 million will be subject to a contingent
     deferred  sales  charge  (CDSC) on  redemptions  made  within  two years of
     purchase.  The CDSC on Class B shares  applies  only if shares are redeemed
     within  six years of their  purchase.  The CDSC on Class II shares  applies
     only if shares are redeemed within  eighteen months of their purchase.  See
     page _ for more information on the CDSCs.

(3)  A $15.00 fee is imposed on wire and overnight mail redemptions.

(4)  Because  these fees are paid out of the  Portfolio's  assets on an on-going
     basis,  over time these fees will increase the cost of your  investment and
     may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

(5)  As to Class C, estimated.

(6)  The Board of Directors,  including a majority of the Independent Directors,
     approved the Investment  Advisory and Management  Agreement  subject to the
     net expense ratio set forth above. SunAmerica may not increase such ratios,

EXAMPLE


This  Example is  intended  to help you  compare  the cost of  investing  in the
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 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:


If you redeemed your investment at the end of the periods indicated:


                                       1 Year     3 Years    5 Years    10 Years

   is the same for both Class A and B shares.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Financial  Highlights  table for the Focus Portfolio is intended to help you
understand the Focus Portfolio's financial performance since inception.  Certain
information  reflects  financial results for a single Portfolio share. The total
returns in each table  represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or
lost) on an investment in the Portfolio (assuming  reinvestment of all dividends
and distributions).  This information has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP,  whose  report,  along with Focus  Portfolio's  financial  statements,  are
incorporated  by reference in  the Fund's Statement  of  Additional  Information
(SAI) which is available  upon request.  There are no financial  highlights  for
Focus Portfolio, Class C or Focused TechNet Portfolio, because they have been in
existence for less than one year.

SHAREHOLDER ACCOUNT INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SELECTING A SHARE CLASS


Each Portfolio offers three classes of shares through this Prospectus:  Class A,
Class B and Class C shares.

Each class of shares has its own cost structure,  so you can choose the one best
suited to your investment  needs.  Your broker or financial advisor can help you
determine which class is right for you.


                                     CLASS A

o    Front-end  sales  charge,  as  described  below.  There are several ways to
     reduce these charges, also described below.

o    Lower annual expenses than Class B or Class C shares.


                                     CLASS B

o    No front-end sales charge; all your money goes to work for you right away.

o    Higher annual expenses than Class A shares.

o    Deferred  sales charge on shares you sell within six years of purchase,  as
     described below.

o    Automatic  conversion to Class A shares  approximately  one year after such
     time that no CDSC would be payable upon  redemption,  as  described  below,
     thus reducing future annual expenses.


                                     CLASS C

o    No front-end sales charge; all your money goes to work for you right away.

o    Higher annual expenses than Class A shares.

o    Deferred  sales  charge  on  shares  you sell  within  eighteen  months  of
     purchase, as described below.

o    No conversion to Class A.


CALCULATION OF SALES CHARGES


CLASS A. Sales Charges are as follows:

INVESTMENTS  OF $1  MILLION  OR  MORE.  Class A  shares  are  available  with no
front-end  sales  charge.  However,  a 1% CDSC is imposed on any shares you sell
within one year of  purchase  and a 0.50% CDSC is charged on any shares you sell
after the first year and within the second year after purchase.

CLASS B.  Shares are  offered at their net asset  value per share,  without  any
initial  sales  charge.  However,  there is a CDSC on shares you sell within six
years of buying  them.  The longer the time between the purchase and the sale of
shares, the lower the rate of the CDSC:

Class B deferred charges:

        Years after purchase            CDSC on shares being sold

        1st or 2nd year                 4.00%
        3rd or 4th year                 3.00%
        5th year                        2.00%
        6th year                        1.00%
        7th year and thereafter         None

CLASS C.  Shares are  offered at their net asset  value per share,  without  any
initial sales charge.  However,  there is a CDSC of 1% on shares you sell within
18 months after you buy them.

DETERMINATION  OF CDSC. Each CDSC is based on the original  purchase cost or the
current  market value of the shares being sold,  whichever is less.  There is no
CDSC on shares you purchase through reinvestment of dividends. To keep your CDSC
as low as  possible,  each time you place a request to sell shares we will first
sell any shares in your account that are not subject to a CDSC. If there are not
enough of these shares available, we will sell shares that have the lowest CDSC.

FOR  PURPOSES  OF THE CDSC,  WE COUNT ALL  PURCHASES  YOU MAKE DURING A CALENDAR
MONTH AS HAVING BEEN MADE ON THE FIRST DAY OF THAT MONTH.

                                                                               9

SALES CHARGE REDUCTIONS AND WAIVERS

WAIVERS FOR CERTAIN INVESTORS. Various individuals and institutions may purchase
Class A shares without front-end sales charges, including:

   o  financial  planners,   institutions,   broker-dealer   representatives  or
      registered   investment   advisers  utilizing  Fund  shares  in  fee-based
      investment products under an agreement with the Distributor

   o  participants in certain retirement plans that meet applicable  conditions,
      as described in the Statement of Additional Information


   o  Fund  Directors  and  other  individuals,  and  their  families,  who  are
      affiliated  with any  Portfolio  or any  fund  distributed  by  SunAmerica
      Capital Services, Inc.


   o  selling  brokers and their employees and sales  representatives  and their
      families

   o  participants in "Net Asset Value Transfer Program"

We will generally  waive the CDSC for CLASS B or CLASS C shares in the following
cases:

   o  within one year of the shareholder's death or becoming disabled

   o  taxable  distributions  from or loans to  participants  made by  qualified
      retirement  plans or retirement  accounts (not  including  rollovers)  for
      which SunAmerica Fund Services, Inc. serves as a fiduciary


   o  Fund  Directors  and  other  individuals,  and  their  families,  who  are
      affiliated  with any  Portfolio  or any  fund  distributed  by  SunAmerica
      Capital Services, Inc.


   o  to make  payments  through  the  Systematic  Withdrawal  Plan  (subject to
      certain conditions)

   o  participants in "Net Asset Value Transfer Program"

REDUCING YOUR CLASS A SALES CHARGES.  There are several  special  purchase plans
that allow you to combine  multiple  purchases  of Class A shares of  SunAmerica
Mutual Funds to take advantage of the breakpoints in the sales charge  schedule.
For  information  about  the  "Rights  of  Accumulation,"  "Letter  of  Intent,"
"Combined Purchase  Privilege," and "Reduced Sales Charges for Group Purchases,"
contact your broker or financial advisor, or consult the Statement of Additional
Information.

TO UTILIZE:  IF YOU THINK YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE  FOR A SALES  CHARGE  REDUCTION OR
CDSC WAIVER, CONTACT YOUR BROKER OR FINANCIAL ADVISOR.


REINSTATEMENT  PRIVILEGE.  If you sell  shares of a  Portfolio,  within one year
after the sale,  you may invest  some or all of the  proceeds of the sale in the
same share class of the Portfolio  without a sales charge. A shareholder may use
the reinstatement privilege only one time after selling such shares. If you paid
a CDSC when you sold your  shares,  we will credit your  account with the dollar
amount of the CDSC at the time of sale.  This may  impact  the amount of gain or
loss  recognized on the previous sale, for tax purposes.  All accounts  involved
must be registered in the same name(s).


DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) FEES

Each class of shares of each  Portfolio has its own 12b-1 plan that provides for
distribution   and  account   maintenance  and  service  fees  (payable  to  the
Distributor) based on a percentage of average daily net assets, as follows:

                                                    ACCOUNT MAINTENANCE AND
     CLASS               DISTRIBUTION FEE                 SERVICE FEE
       A                       0.10%                         0.25%
       B                       0.75%                         0.25%
       C                       0.75%                         0.25%

Because  12b-1 fees are paid out of a  Portfolio's  assets on an ongoing  basis,
over time these fees will increase the cost of your  investment and may cost you
more than  paying  other  types of sales  charges.

and  Class  B  shares  are  available  to  all  persons  who  meet   eligibility

SELLING SHARES IN WRITING. In certain circumstances,  you will need to make your
request to sell  shares in  writing.  Corporations,  executors,  administrators,
trustees or  guardians  may need to include  additional  items with a request to
sell shares. You may also need to include a signature guarantee,  which protects
you against fraudulent orders. You will need a signature guarantee if:

   o  your address of record has changed within the past 30 days

   o  you are selling shares worth $100,000 or more

   o  you are requesting payment other than by a check mailed to the address of
      record and payable to the registered owner(s)


You can generally obtain a signature guarantee from the following sources:

   o  a broker or securities dealer

   o  a federal savings, cooperative or other type of bank

   o  a savings and loan or other thrift institution

   o  a credit union

   o  a securities exchange or clearing agency


A notary public CANNOT provide a signature guarantee.


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.


BUY AND SELL PRICES.  When you buy shares,  you pay the NAV plus any  applicable
sales charges,  as described earlier.  When you sell shares, you receive the NAV
minus any applicable CDSCs.


EXECUTION  OF REQUESTS.  Each  Portfolio is open on those days when the New York
Stock Exchange is open for regular trading.  We execute buy and sell requests at
the next NAV to be  calculated  after a Portfolio  receives your request in good
order.  If the  Portfolio  or the  Distributor  receives  your order  before the
Portfolio's  close of business  (generally  4:00 p.m.,  Eastern time),  you will
receive that day's closing price. If the Portfolio or the  Distributor  receives
your order after that time,  you will receive the next  business  day's  closing
price. If you place your order through a broker or financial advisor, you should
make sure the order is transmitted to the Portfolio before the Portfolio's close
of business.  Each Portfolio and the Distributor reserve the right to reject any
order to buy shares.

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 in securities  that are primarily  listed on foreign
exchanges  that trade on weekends or other days when a Portfolio  does not price
its shares.  As a result,  the value of a Portfolio's  shares may change on days
when you will not be able to purchase or redeem your shares.

If a Portfolio  determines that it would be detrimental to the best interests of
the  remaining  shareholders  of the  Portfolio  to make  payment of  redemption
proceeds wholly or partly in cash, the Portfolio may pay the redemption price by
a distribution in kind of securities from the Portfolio in lieu of cash.

At various times, a Portfolio may be requested to redeem shares for which it has
not yet received good payment.  A Portfolio may delay or cause to be delayed the
mailing of a  redemption  check until such time as good payment  (e.g.,  cash or
certified  check  drawn on a United  States  bank)  has been  collected  for the
purchase of such shares, which will not exceed 15 days.

TELEPHONE TRANSACTIONS. For your protection,  telephone requests are recorded in
order to verify their accuracy.  In addition,  Shareholder/Dealer  Services will
take  measures to verify the  identity  of the caller,  such as asking for name,
account  number,  social security or other taxpayer ID number and other relevant
information.  If appropriate  measures are not taken, a Portfolio is responsible
for any loss  that may occur to any  account  due to an  unauthorized  telephone
call.  Also for your  protection,  telephone  transactions  are not permitted on
accounts whose names or addresses have changed within the past 30 days. At times
of peak activity,  it may be difficult to place requests by phone.  During these
times, consider sending your request in writing.

EXCHANGES.  You may exchange  shares of a Portfolio for shares of the same class
of any other fund distributed by SunAmerica Capital Services, Inc. Additionally,
you may exchange  Class C shares of a Portfolio for Class II shares of any other
fund distributed by SunAmerica Capital Services, Inc. Before making an exchange,
you should review a copy of the prospectus of the fund into which you would like
to  exchange.  All  exchanges  are  subject  to  applicable  minimum  investment
requirements.  A  Systematic  Exchange  Program is described  under  "Additional
Investor  Services."  An exchange is treated as a taxable sale of the  exchanged
shares and a purchase of the new shares for federal income tax purposes.


                                                                              13

================================================================================
SHAREHOLDER ACCOUNT INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you  exchange  shares that were  purchased  subject to a CDSC,  the CDSC will
continue to apply following the exchange.  In determining the CDSC applicable to
shares  being sold after an  exchange,  we will take into  account the length of
time you held those shares prior to the exchange.


To protect  the  interests  of other  shareholders,  we may cancel the  exchange
privileges of any investors  that,  in the opinion of the  Portfolio,  are using
market timing strategies or making excessive  exchanges.  A Portfolio may change
or cancel its exchange  privilege at any time,  upon 60 days' written  notice to
its shareholders. A Portfolio may also refuse any exchange order.

CERTIFICATED  SHARES.  Most shares are electronically  recorded.  If you wish to
have certificates for your shares,  please call  Shareholder/Dealer  Services at
1-800-858-8850 extension 5125, for further information. You may sell or exchange
certificated  shares only by returning the certificates to the Portfolio,  along
with a letter of instruction  and a signature  guarantee.  The Portfolios do not
issue certificates for fractional shares.

MULTI-PARTY  CHECKS.  A Portfolio may agree to accept a  "multi-party  check" in
payment for  Portfolio  shares.  This is a check made payable to the investor by
another party and then endorsed over to a Portfolio by the investor.  If you use
a multi-party check to purchase shares, you may experience processing delays. In
addition, the Portfolio is not responsible for verifying the authenticity of any
endorsement and assumes no liability for any losses  resulting from a fraudulent
endorsement.


ADDITIONAL INVESTOR SERVICES

To  select  one or more of these  additional  services,  complete  the  relevant
part(s) of the Supplemental Account Application. To add a service to an existing
account,  contact your broker or financial advisor,  or call  Shareholder/Dealer
Services at 1-800-858-8850, extension 5125.


DOLLAR COST AVERAGING lets you make regular  investments  from your bank account
to a Portfolio or any other fund  distributed by SunAmerica  Capital Services of
your choice. You determine the frequency and amount of your investments, and you
can terminate your participation at any time.


SYSTEMATIC  WITHDRAWAL  PLAN may be used for  routine  bill  payment or periodic
withdrawals from your account. To use:

   o  Make sure you have at least $5,000 worth of shares in your account.

   o  Make  sure you are not  planning  to  invest  more  money in this  account
      (buying  shares  during a period when you are also  selling  shares of the
      same fund is not advantageous to you, because of sales charges).

   o  Specify the payee(s) and amount(s). The payee may be yourself or any other
      party (which may require a signature guarantee),  and there is no limit to
      the  number  of payees  you may have,  as long as they are all on the same
      payment schedule. Each withdrawal must be at least $50.

   o  Determine the schedule: monthly, quarterly, semi-annually,  annually or in
      certain selected months.

   o  Make sure your dividends and capital gains are being reinvested.

You  cannot  elect  the  systematic   withdrawal  plan  if  you  have  requested
certificates for your shares.


SYSTEMATIC  EXCHANGE  PROGRAM  may be used to  exchange  shares  of a  Portfolio
periodically for the same class of shares of one or more other funds distributed
by SunAmerica Capital Services, Inc. To use:


   o  Specify  the  SunAmerica  Mutual  Fund(s)  from which you would like money
      withdrawn and into which you would like money invested.

   o  Determine the schedule: monthly, quarterly, semi-annually,  annually or in
      certain selected months.

   o  Specify the amount(s). Each exchange must be worth at least $50.

   o  Accounts must be registered  identically;  otherwise a signature guarantee
      will be required.


ASSET PROTECTION PLAN (OPTIONAL)  Anchor National Life Insurance  Company offers
an Asset Protection Plan to certain investors in each Portfolio. The benefits of
this optional  coverage  payable at death will be related to the amounts paid to
purchase  Portfolio shares and to the value of the Portfolio shares held for the
benefit of the insured persons.  However, to the extent the purchased shares are
redeemed prior to death, coverage with respect to these shares will terminate.


Purchasers  of the Asset  Protection  Plan are  required to  authorize  periodic
redemptions  of Portfolio  shares to pay the premiums for this  coverage.  These
redemptions  will  not  be  subject  to  CDSCs,  but  will  have  the  same  tax
consequences as any other Portfolio redemptions.

The Asset  Protection Plan will be available to eligible  persons who enroll for
the  coverage  within a limited  time period  after  shares in a  Portfolio  are
initially  purchased  or  transferred.  In  addition,  coverage  cannot  be made
available  unless Anchor  National knows for whose benefit shares are purchased.
For instance,  coverage  cannot be made  available for shares  registered in the
name of your broker unless the broker provides Anchor National with  information
regarding  the  beneficial  owners  of the  shares.  In  addition,  coverage  is
available only to shares  purchased on behalf of natural  persons between 21 and
75 years of age;  coverage is not available with respect to shares purchased for
a retirement  account.  Other  restrictions on the coverage apply. This coverage
may not be available in all states and may be subject to additional restrictions
or limitations.  Purchasers of shares should also make themselves  familiar with
the impact on the Asset

1-800-858-8850, extension 5134.


DIVIDEND, DISTRIBUTION AND ACCOUNT POLICIES


ACCOUNT STATEMENTS. In general, you will receive account statements as follows:

   o  after every  transaction  that  affects  your  account  balance  (except a
      dividend  reinvestment or automatic purchase from or automatic  redemption
      to your bank account)

   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.  Each Portfolio generally distributes most or all of its 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 share class on which
they were paid. Alternatively,  dividends and distributions may be reinvested in
any other fund distributed by SunAmerica Capital Services,  Inc. or paid in cash
(if more than $10).  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,  extension  5125 to change  dividend  and  distribution  payment
options.


TAXABILITY  OF  DIVIDENDS.  The  Portfolios  intend to satisfy the  requirements
necessary to qualify as a regulated  investment  company for federal  income tax
purposes.  For so long as each  Portfolio so  qualifies,  it will pay no federal
income tax on the income and capital gains that it distributes to shareholders.

Dividends you receive from a Portfolio, whether reinvested or taken as cash, are
generally  considered taxable.  The Portfolios intend to make distributions that
may be taxed as  ordinary  income  and  capital  gains  (which may be taxable at
different rates depending on the length of time the Portfolio holds its assets).


Some  dividends  paid in  January  may be  taxable  as if they had been paid the
previous  December.  Corporations  may be entitled to take a  dividends-received
deduction for a portion of certain dividends they receive.

The Form 1099 that is mailed to you every  January  details your  dividends  and
their federal tax category,  although you should verify your tax liability  with
your tax professional.

"BUYING  INTO A  DIVIDEND."  You should  note that if you  purchase  shares just
before a  distribution,  you will be taxed  for  that  distribution  like  other
shareholders,  even though that distribution  represents simply a return of part
of your  investment.  You may wish to defer your purchase until after the record
date  for the  distribution,  so as to  avoid  this tax  impact.

TAXABILITY  OF  TRANSACTIONS.  Any  time  you  sell or  exchange  shares,  it is
considered a taxable event for you. Depending on the purchase price and the sale
price of the shares you sell or  exchange,  you may have a gain or a loss on the
transaction.  You are  responsible  for any tax  liabilities  generated  by your
transactions. If you hold Class B shares, you will not have a taxable event when
they convert into Class A shares.

OTHER TAX  CONSIDERATIONS.  If you are neither a lawful permanent resident nor a
citizen of the U.S. or if you are a foreign entity,  ordinary  income  dividends
paid to you (which include  distributions of net short-term  capital gains) will
generally be subject to a 30% U.S.  withholding  tax, unless a lower treaty rate
applies.


By law, each Portfolio must withhold 31% of your  distributions  and proceeds if
you have not  provided  a  taxpayer  identification  number or  social  security
number.

This section  summarizes some of the consequences under current federal
income tax law of an investment  in a Portfolio.  It is not a  substitution  for
professional  tax advice.  Consult  your tax  advisor  about the  potential  tax
consequences of an investment in a Portfolio under all applicable laws.


SMALL ACCOUNTS. If you draw down an account so that its total value is less than
$500 ($250 for  retirement  plan  accounts),  you may be asked to purchase  more
shares  within 60 days.  If you do not take action,  the Fund may close out your
account  and mail you the  proceeds.  Alternatively,  you may be charged a $2.00
monthly charge to maintain your account.  Your account will not be closed if its
drop in value is due to Portfolio performance or the effects of sales charges.

                                                                              15

GLOSSARY

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   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.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

INVESTMENT TERMINOLOGY


GROWTH OF CAPITAL is growth of the value of an investment.

ACTIVE  TRADING  means that the  Portfolio  may engage,  when the Adviser  deems
appropriate,  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.


LARGE-CAP  COMPANIES  are those with market caps  within the  Morningstar,  Inc.
Large-Cap category. Currently, this range is $9.5 billion or higher.

MID-CAP  COMPANIES  are those with  market  caps  within the  Morningstar,  Inc.
Mid-Cap  category.  Currently,  this  range is  between  $1.5  billion  and $9.5
billion.


SMALL-CAP  COMPANIES  are those with market caps  within the  Morningstar,  Inc.
Small-Cap category. Currently, this range is $1.5 billion or less.

FOREIGN  SECURITIES are issued by companies located outside of the United States
and include securities issued by companies located in emerging markets.  Foreign
securities  may include  American  Depositary  Receipts  (ADRs) or other similar
securities that convert into foreign securities.


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  INSTRUMENTS  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.

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 financial instruments.


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.

                                                                           17

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PORTFOLIOS
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------


RISK TERMINOLOGY


STOCK  MARKET  VOLATILITY:  The  stock  market  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
an Adviser, may fail to produce the intended return.

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.


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 or exchange.  Moreover,  while hedging can reduce or eliminate losses, it
can also reduce or eliminate gains.

NON-DIVERSIFICATION:  Each  Portfolio  will hold up to thirty  securities.  As a
result, performance may be affected more by a decline in the market price of one
stock than would be the case if each Portfolio were more diversified.

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.

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 each
Portfolio,  may manage  certain  portions of each Portfolio  directly,  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 each Portfolio,  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 a Portfolio  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 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
Portfolio to disclose to  shareholders  the Advisers' fees only in the aggregate
for each  Portfolio.  The annual rate of the investment  advisory fee payable to
SunAmerica  is 1.25%  of  average  daily  net  assets  for the  Focused  TechNet
Portfolio  and 0.85% of  average  daily  net  assets  for the  Focus  Portfolio.
Payments to the Advisers for their  services is 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  manages,
advises and/or administers assets in excess of $30 billion as of March 31, 2000.
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 Equity Funds, Inc.,  SunAmerica Income
Funds,  SunAmerica  Money  Market  Funds,  Inc.,  SunAmerica  Series  Trust  and
SunAmerica Strategic Investment Series, Inc.

SunAmerica is the Portfolios' investment manager and 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 the Focus Portfolio,  in general,  SunAmerica will not rebalance
or  reallocate  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,  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  Focused  TechNet  Portfolio,  SunAmerica  intends,  on a
quarterly  basis, to review the asset allocation in the 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  generally will then  re-allocate cash flows among the Advisers so as
to effect a  re-balancing  of the  Portfolio's  asset  allocation.  In addition,
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,  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.

INFORMATION ABOUT ADVISERS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


DISTRIBUTOR. SunAmerica Capital Services, Inc. distributes each Portfolio's
shares. The Distributor, a SunAmerica company, receives the initial and deferred
sales charges, all or a portion of which may be re-allowed to other
broker-dealers. In addition, the Distributor receives fees under each
Portfolio's 12b-1 plans.

The  Distributor,  at its  expense,  may from  time to time  provide  additional
compensation to broker-dealers  (including in some instances,  affiliates of the
Distributor)  in  connection   with  sales  of  shares  of  a  Portfolio.   This
compensation may include (i) full  re-allowance of the front-end sales charge on
Class A shares;  (ii) additional  compensation with respect to the sale of Class
A, Class B or Class C shares; or (iii) financial assistance to broker-dealers in
connection with  conferences,  sales or training  programs for their  employees,
seminars  for the public,  advertising  campaigns  regarding  one or more of the
Portfolios,  and/or  other  broker-dealer  sponsored  special  events.  In  some
instances,   this   compensation   will  be  made   available  only  to  certain
broker-dealers whose representatives have sold a significant number of shares of
a  Portfolio.  Compensation  may  also  include  payment  for  travel  expenses,
including lodging, incurred in connection with trips taken by invited registered
representatives for meetings or seminars of a business nature. In addition,  the
following types of non-cash  compensation may be offered through sales contests:
(i) travel mileage on major air carriers;  (ii) tickets for entertainment events
(such as concerts or sporting  events);  or (iii) merchandise (such as clothing,
trophies,  clocks, pens or other electronic  equipment).  Broker-dealers may not
use sales of a Portfolios' shares to qualify for this compensation to the extent
receipt of such compensation may be prohibited by applicable law or the rules of
any  self-regulatory  agency,  such as the National  Association  of  Securities
Dealers,  Inc.  Dealers who receive bonuses or other incentives may be deemed to
be underwriters under the Securities Act of 1933.

Certain  laws and  regulations  limit the ability of banks and other  depository
institutions to underwrite and distribute securities. However, in the opinion of
the Distributor based upon the advice of counsel,  these laws and regulations do
not prohibit such  depository  institutions  from  providing  other  services to
investment  companies of the type  contemplated by each Portfolios' 12b-1 plans.
Banks and other  financial  services  firms may be subject to various state laws
regarding these services, and may be required to register as dealers pursuant to
state law.

ADMINISTRATOR. SunAmerica Fund Services, Inc. assists the Portfolios' transfer
agent in providing shareholder services. The Administrator, a SunAmerica
company, is paid a monthly fee by each Portfolio for its services at the annual
rate of 0.22% of average daily net assets.

Center, 733 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10017.

                                 THE CORPORATION


         The Corporation, organized as a Maryland corporation on July 3, 1996,
is a non-diversified, open-end management investment company registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Corporation
consists of eleven Portfolios.

         Class A, B and II shares of the Focus Portfolio commenced offering, and
the Focus Portfolio commenced operations, on June 1, 1998. The Class Z shares of
Focus Portfolio commenced offering on April 1, 1999. The Class C shares of Focus
Portfolio commenced offering on May 22, 2000.

        The Focused TechNet Portfolio commenced operations on May 22, 2000.
offering Class A, B, C and II shares.


                       INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES


         The investment objective and policies of the each of Focus Portfolio
and Focused TechNet Portfolio are described in the respective Portfolio's
Prospectus. Certain types of securities in which the Portfolios may invest and
certain investment practices the Portfolios may employ, which are described
under "More Information about the Portfolio(s) - Investment Strategies" in each
Prospectus, are discussed more fully below. Unless otherwise specified, each
Portfolio may invest in the following securities. The stated percentage
limitations are applied to an investment at the time of purchase unless
indicated otherwise.

         TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES. The Focused TechNet Portfolio will invest, under
normal market conditions, at least 65% of its total assets in companies whose
principal businesses the Advisers believe will significantly benefit from
advances or improvements in technology ("technology companies"). Many of the
industries in which technology companies are found have exhibited and continue
to exhibit rapid growth, both through increasing demand for existing products
and services and the broadening of the technology market. In general, the stocks
of large capitalized companies that are well established in the technology
market can be expected to grow with the market. The expansion of technology and
its related industries, however, also provides a favorable environment for
investment in small-cap to mid-cap companies. The Portfolio's investment policy
is not limited to any minimum capitalization requirement and the Portfolio may
hold securities without regard to the capitalization of the issuer.

         Companies in the rapidly changing fields of technology face special
risks. For example, their products or services may not prove commercially
successful or may become obsolete quickly. The value of the Focused TechNet
Portfolio's shares may be susceptible to factors affecting technology companies
and to greater risk and market fluctuation than in investment in a corporation
that invests in a broader range of portfolio securities not focus on any
particular market segment. Technology companies may be subject to greater
governmental regulation than many other companies and changes in governmental
policies and the need for regulatory approvals may have a material adverse
effect on these companies. Additionally, these companies may be subject to risks
of developing technologies, competitive pressure and other factors and are
dependent upon consumer and business acceptance as new technologies evolve.

         WARRANTS AND RIGHTS. Each Portfolio may invest in warrants, which give
the holder of the warrant a right to purchase a given number of shares of a
particular issue at a specified price until expiration. Such investments
generally can provide a greater potential for profit or loss than investments of
equivalent amounts in the underlying common stock. The prices of warrants do not
necessarily move with the prices of the underlying securities. If the holder
does not sell the warrant, he risks the loss of his entire investment if the
market price of the underlying stock


                                      B-3
<PAGE>


does not, before the expiration date, exceed the exercise price of the warrant
plus the cost thereof. Investment in warrants is a speculative activity.
Warrants pay no dividends and confer no rights (other than the right to purchase
the underlying stock) with respect to the assets of the issuer. Rights represent
a preemptive right of stockholders to purchase additional shares of a stock at
the time of a new issuance before the stock is offered to the general public,
allowing the stockholder to retain the same ownership percentage after the new
stock offering.


         CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES AND PREFERRED STOCKS. Convertible securities may
be debt securities or preferred stock with a conversion feature. Traditionally,
convertible securities have paid dividends or interest at rates higher than
common stocks but lower than non-convertible securities. They generally
participate in the appreciation or depreciation of the underlying stock into
which they are convertible, but to a lesser degree. In recent years,
convertibles have been developed that combine higher or lower current income
with options and other features. Generally, preferred stock has a specified
dividend and ranks after bonds and before common stocks in its claim on income
for dividend payments and on assets should the company be liquidated. While most
preferred stocks pay a dividend, a Portfolio may purchase preferred stock where
the issuer has omitted, or is in danger of omitting, payment of its dividend.
Such investments would be made primarily for their capital appreciation
potential.


         INVESTMENT IN SMALL, UNSEASONED COMPANIES. As described in the
Prospectus, each Portfolio may invest in the securities of small companies.
While such companies may realize more substantial growth than larger, more
established companies, they may also be subject to some additional risks. It may
be difficult to obtain reliable information and financial data on such companies
and the securities of these small companies may not be readily marketable,
making it difficult to dispose of shares when desirable. A risk of investing in
smaller, emerging companies is that they often are at an earlier stage of
development and therefore have limited product lines, market access for such
products, financial resources and depth in management as compared to larger,
more established companies, and their securities may be subject to more abrupt
or erratic market movements than securities of larger, more established
companies or the market averages in general. In addition, certain smaller
issuers may face difficulties in obtaining the capital necessary to continue in
operation and may go into bankruptcy, which could result in a complete loss of
an investment. Smaller companies also may be less significant factors within
their industries and may have difficulty withstanding competition from larger
companies. If other investment companies and investors who invest in such
issuers trade the same securities when a Portfolio attempts to dispose of its
holdings, the Portfolio may receive lower prices than might otherwise be
obtained.


         Mid-Cap companies may also suffer more significant losses as well as
realize more substantial growth than larger, more established issuers. Thus,
investments in such companies tend to be more volatile and somewhat speculative.

         FOREIGN SECURITIES. Investments in foreign securities offer potential
benefits not available from investments solely in securities of domestic issuers
by offering the opportunity to invest in foreign issuers that appear to offer
growth potential, or in foreign countries with economic policies or business
cycles different from those of the U.S., or to reduce fluctuations in portfolio
value by taking advantage of foreign stock markets that do not move in a manner
parallel to U.S. markets.


         Each Portfolio may invest in securities of foreign issuers in the form
of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). The Focus Portfolio may invest in U.S.
dollar denominated securities of foreign companies. ADRs are securities,
typically issued by a U.S. financial institution, that evidence ownership
interests in a security or a pool of securities issued by a foreign issuer and
deposited with the depository. ADRs may be sponsored or unsponsored. A sponsored
ADR is issued by a depository that has an exclusive relationship with the issuer
of the underlying security. An unsponsored ADR may be issued by any number of
U.S. depositories. Holders of unsponsored ADRs

                                      B-4
<PAGE>

generally bear all the costs associated with establishing the unsponsored ADR.
The depository of an unsponsored ADR is under no obligation to distribute
shareholder communications received from the underlying issuer or to pass
through to the holders of the unsponsored ADR voting rights with respect to the
deposited securities or pool of securities. The Portfolios may invest in either
type of ADR. Although the U.S. investor holds a substitute receipt of ownership
rather than direct stock certificates, the use of the depository receipts in the
United States can reduce costs and delays as well as potential currency exchange
and other difficulties. A Portfolio may purchase securities in local markets and
direct delivery of these ordinary shares to the local depository of an ADR agent
bank in the foreign country. Simultaneously, the ADR agents create a certificate
that settles at the Corporation's custodian in three days. A Portfolio may also
execute trades on the U.S. markets using existing ADRs. A foreign issuer of the
security underlying an ADR is generally not subject to the same reporting
requirements in the United States as a domestic issuer. Accordingly, the
information available to a U.S. investor will be limited to the information the
foreign issuer is required to disclose in its own country and the market value
of an ADR may not reflect undisclosed material information concerning the issuer
of the underlying security. For purposes of a Portfolio's investment policies,
the Portfolio's investments in these types of securities will be deemed to be
investments in the underlying securities. Generally ADRs, in registered form,
are dollar denominated securities designed for use in the U.S. securities
markets, which represent and may be converted into the underlying foreign
security.


         Investments in foreign securities, including securities of emerging
market countries, present special additional investment risks and considerations
not typically associated with investments in domestic securities, including
reduction of income by foreign taxes; fluctuation in value of foreign portfolio
investments due to changes in currency rates and control regulations (e.g.,
currency blockage); transaction charges for currency exchange; lack of public
information about foreign issuers; lack of uniform accounting, auditing and
financial reporting standards comparable to those applicable to domestic
issuers; less volume on foreign exchanges than on U.S. exchanges; greater
volatility and less liquidity on foreign markets than in the U.S.; less
regulation of foreign issuers, stock exchanges and brokers than the U.S.;
greater difficulties in commencing lawsuits; higher brokerage commission rates
and custodian fees than the U.S.; increased possibilities in some countries of
expropriation, confiscatory taxation, political, financial or social instability
or adverse diplomatic developments; the imposition of foreign taxes on
investment income derived from such countries; and differences (which may be
favorable or unfavorable) between the U.S. economy and foreign economies.


         The performance of investments in securities denominated in a foreign
currency ("non-dollar securities") will depend on, among other things, the
strength of the foreign currency against the dollar and the interest rate
environment in the country issuing the foreign currency. Absent other events
that could otherwise affect the value of non-dollar securities (such as a change
in the political climate or an issuer's credit quality), appreciation in the
value of the foreign currency generally can be expected to increase the value of
a Portfolio's non-dollar securities in terms of U.S. dollars. A rise in foreign
interest rates or 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. Currencies are evaluated on the basis of fundamental
economic criteria (e.g., relative inflation levels and trends, growth rate
forecasts, balance of payments status and economic policies) as well as
technical and political data.

         Because the Portfolios may invest in securities that are listed
primarily on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the
Corporation does not price its shares, the value of the Portfolios' shares may
change on days when a shareholder will not be able to purchase or redeem shares.

         FIXED INCOME SECURITIES. Fixed income securities are broadly
characterized as those that provide for periodic payments to the holder of the
security at a stated rate. Most fixed income securities, such as bonds,
represent indebtedness of the issuer and provide for repayment of principal at a
stated time in the future. Others do

                                      B-5

<PAGE>

not provide for repayment of a principal amount, although they may represent a
priority over common stockholders in the event of the issuer's liquidation. Many
fixed income securities are subject to scheduled retirement, or may be retired
or "called" by the issuer prior to their maturity dates. The interest rate on
certain fixed income securities, known as "variable rate obligations," is
determined by reference to or is a percentage of an objective standard, such as
a bank's prime rate, the 90-day Treasury bill rate, or the rate of return on
commercial paper or bank certificates of deposit, and is periodically adjusted.
Certain variable rate obligations may have a demand feature entitling the holder
to resell the securities at a predetermined amount. The interest rate on certain
fixed income securities, called "floating rate instruments," changes whenever
there is a change in a designated base rate.


         The market values of fixed income securities tend to vary inversely
with the level of interest rates -- when interest rates rise, their values will
tend to decline; when interest rates decline, their values generally will tend
to rise. The potential for capital appreciation with respect to variable rate
obligations or floating rate instruments will be less than with respect to
fixed-rate obligations. Long-term instruments are generally more sensitive to
these changes than short-term instruments. The market value of fixed income
securities and therefore their yield are also affected by the perceived ability
of the issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest.


         The Portfolios currently invests only in corporate bonds or notes of
issuers having outstanding short-term securities rated in the top two rating
categories by Standard & Poor's and Moody's or in instruments issued, guaranteed
or insured by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities.

         CORPORATE DEBT INSTRUMENTS. These instruments, such as bonds, represent
the obligation of the issuer to repay a principal amount of indebtedness at a
stated time in the future and, in the usual case, to make periodic interim
payments of interest at a stated rate. Each Portfolio may purchase corporate
obligations that mature or that may be redeemed in one year or less. These
obligations originally may have been issued with maturities in excess of one
year.


         INVESTMENT GRADE. A designation applied to intermediate and long-term
corporate debt securities rated within the highest four rating categories
assigned by Standard & Poor's (AAA, AA, A or BBB) or by Moody's (Aaa, Aa, A or
Baa), or, if unrated, considered by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. The
ability of the issuer of an investment grade debt security to pay interest and
to repay principal is considered to vary from extremely strong (for the highest
ratings) through adequate (for the lowest ratings given above), although the
lower-rated investment grade securities may be viewed as having speculative
elements as well.


         U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. Each Portfolio may invest in U.S. Treasury
securities, including bills, notes, bonds and other debt securities issued by
the U.S. Treasury. These instruments are direct obligations of the U.S.
government and, as such, are backed by the "full faith and credit" of the United
States. They differ primarily in their interest rates, the lengths of their
maturities and the dates of their issuances. For these securities, the payment
of principal and interest is unconditionally guaranteed by the U.S. government.
They are of the highest possible credit quality. These securities are subject to
variations in market value due to fluctuations in interest rates, but if held to
maturity, are guaranteed by the U.S. government to be paid in full.

         Each Portfolio may also invest in securities issued by agencies of the
U.S. government or instrumentalities of the U.S. government. These obligations,
including those guaranteed by federal agencies or instrumentalities, may or may
not be backed by the "full faith and credit" of the United States. Obligations
of the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), the Farmers Home
Administration ("FMHA") and the Export-Import Bank are backed by the full faith
and credit of the United States.



                                      B-6
<PAGE>

         Each Portfolio may also invest in securities issued by U.S. government
instrumentalities and certain federal agencies that are neither direct
obligations of, nor are they guaranteed by, the U.S. Treasury. However, they
involve federal sponsorship in one way or another. For example, some are backed
by specific types of collateral; some are supported by the issuer's right to
borrow from the Treasury; some are supported by the discretionary authority of
the Treasury to purchase certain obligations of the issuer; and others are
supported only by the credit of the issuing government agency or
instrumentality. These agencies and instrumentalities include, but are not
limited to, the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), the Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), Federal Land Banks, Central Bank for
Cooperatives, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks and Federal Home Loan Banks. In
the case of securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the United
States, the Portfolio must look principally to the agency issuing or
guaranteeing the obligation for ultimate repayment and may not be able to assert
a claim against the United States if the agency or instrumentality does not meet
its commitments.

         Each Portfolio may, in addition to the U.S. government securities noted
above, invest in mortgage-backed securities (including private mortgage-backed
securities), such as GNMA, FNMA or FHLMC certificates (as further discussed
below), which represent an undivided ownership interest in a pool of mortgages.
The mortgages backing these securities include conventional thirty-year
fixed-rate mortgages, fifteen-year fixed-rate mortgages, graduated payment
mortgages and adjustable rate mortgages. The U.S. government or the issuing
agency guarantees the payment of interest and principal of these securities.
However, the guarantees do not extend to the securities' yield or value, which
are likely to vary inversely with fluctuations in interest rates. These
certificates are in most cases pass-through instruments, through which the
holder receives a share of all interest and principal payments, including
prepayments, on the mortgages underlying the certificate, net of certain fees.

         The yield on mortgage-backed securities is based on the average
expected life of the underlying pool of mortgage loans. Because the prepayment
characteristics of the underlying mortgages vary, it is not possible to predict
accurately the average life of a particular issue of pass-through certificates.
Mortgage-backed securities are often subject to more rapid repayment than their
stated maturity date would indicate as a result of the pass-through of
prepayments of principal on the underlying mortgage obligations. Thus, the
actual life of any particular pool will be shortened by any unscheduled or early
payments of principal and interest. Principal prepayments generally result from
the sale of the underlying property or the refinancing or foreclosure of
underlying mortgages. The occurrence of prepayments is affected by a wide range
of economic, demographic and social factors and, accordingly, it is not possible
to predict accurately the average life of a particular pool. Yield on such pools
is usually computed by using the historical record of prepayments for that pool,
or, in the case of newly-issued mortgages, the prepayment history of similar
pools. The actual prepayment experience of a pool of mortgage loans may cause
the yield realized by a Portfolio to differ from the yield calculated on the
basis of the expected average life of the pool.


         Prepayments tend to increase during periods of falling interest rates,
while during periods of rising interest rates prepayments will most likely
decline. When prevailing interest rates rise, the value of a pass-through
security may decrease as does the value of other debt securities, but, when
prevailing interest rates decline, the value of a pass-through security is not
likely to rise on a comparable basis with other debt securities because of the
prepayment feature of pass-through securities. The reinvestment of scheduled
principal payments and unscheduled prepayments that a Portfolio receives may
occur at higher or lower rates than the original investment, thus affecting the
yield of the Portfolio. Monthly interest payments received by the Portfolio have
a compounding effect, which may increase the yield to shareholders more than
debt obligations that pay interest semi-annually. Because of those factors,
mortgage-backed securities may be less effective than U.S. Treasury bonds of
similar maturity at maintaining yields during periods of declining interest
rates. Accelerated prepayments adversely affect yields for pass-through
securities purchased at a premium (i.e., at a price in excess of principal
amount) and may involve additional risk of loss of principal because the premium
may not have been fully amortized at the time the obligation is repaid. The


                                      B-7
<PAGE>

opposite is true for pass-through securities purchased at a discount. A
Portfolio may purchase mortgage-backed securities at a premium or at a discount.


         The following is a description of GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC certificates,
the most widely available mortgage-backed securities:


         GNMA CERTIFICATES. GNMA Certificates are mortgage-backed securities
that evidence an undivided interest in a pool or pools of mortgages. GNMA
Certificates that a Portfolio may purchase are the modified pass-through type,
which entitle the holder to receive timely payment of all interest and principal
payments due on the mortgage pool, net of fees paid to the issuer and GNMA,
regardless of whether or not the mortgagor actually makes the payment.


         GNMA guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on
securities backed by a pool of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing
Administration or the FMHA, or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration. The
GNMA guarantee is authorized by the National Housing Act and is backed by the
full faith and credit of the United States. The GNMA is also empowered to borrow
without limitation from the U.S. Treasury if necessary to make any payments
required under its guarantee.

         The average life of a GNMA Certificate is likely to be substantially
shorter than the original maturity of the mortgages underlying the securities.
Prepayments of principal by mortgagors and mortgage foreclosure will usually
result in the return of the greater part of principal investment long before the
maturity of the mortgages in the pool. Foreclosures impose no risk to principal
investment because of the GNMA guarantee, except to the extent that the
Portfolio has purchased the certificates at a premium in the secondary market.

         FHLMC CERTIFICATES. FHLMC issues two types of mortgage pass-through
securities: mortgage participation certificates ("PCs") and guaranteed mortgage
certificates ("GMCs") (collectively, "FHLMC Certificates"). PCs resemble GNMA
Certificates in that each PC represents a pro rata share of all interest and
principal payments made and owed on the underlying pool. The FHLMC guarantees
timely monthly payment of interest (and, under certain circumstances, principal)
of PCs and the ultimate payment of principal.

         GMCs also represent a pro rata interest in a pool of mortgages.
However, these instruments pay interest semi-annually and return principal once
a year in guaranteed minimum payments. The expected average life of these
securities is approximately ten years. The FHLMC guarantee is not backed by the
full faith and credit of the U.S. government.


         FNMA CERTIFICATES. FNMA issues guaranteed mortgage pass-through
certificates ("FNMA Certificates"). FNMA Certificates represent a pro rata share
of all interest and principal payments made and owed on the underlying pool.
FNMA guarantees timely payment of interest and principal on FNMA Certificates.
The FNMA guarantee is not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
government.

         Conventional mortgage pass-through securities ("Conventional Mortgage
Pass-Throughs") represent participation interests in pools of mortgage loans
that are issued by trusts formed by originators of the institutional investors
in mortgage loans (or represent custodial arrangements administered by such
institutions). These originators and institutions include commercial banks,
savings and loans associations, credit unions, savings banks, insurance
companies, investment banks or special purpose subsidiaries of the foregoing.
For federal income tax purposes, such trusts are generally treated as grantor
trusts or real estate mortgage investment conduits ("REMICs") and, in either
case, are generally not subject to any significant amount of federal income tax
at the entity level.


                                      B-8
<PAGE>


         The mortgage pools underlying Conventional Mortgage Pass-Throughs
consist of conventional mortgage loans evidenced by promissory notes secured by
first mortgages or first deeds of trust or other similar security instruments
creating a first lien on residential or mixed residential and commercial
properties. Conventional Mortgage Pass-Throughs (whether fixed or adjustable
rate) provide for monthly payments that are a "pass-through" of the monthly
interest and principal payments (including any prepayments) made by the
individual borrowers on the pooled mortgage loans, net of any fees or other
amount paid to any guarantor, administrator and/or servicer of the underlying
mortgage loans. A trust fund with respect to which a REMIC election has been
made may include regular interests in other REMICs, which in turn will
ultimately evidence interests in mortgage loans.

         Conventional mortgage pools generally offer a higher rate of interest
than government and government-related pools because of the absence of any
direct or indirect government or agency payment guarantees. However, timely
payment of interest and principal of mortgage loans in these pools may be
supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, including individual
loans, title, pool and hazard insurance and letters of credit. The insurance and
guarantees may be issued by private insurers and mortgage poolers. Although the
market for such securities is becoming increasingly liquid, mortgage-related
securities issued by private organizations may not be readily marketable.


         Another type of mortgage-backed security in which each Portfolio may
invest is a collateralized mortgage obligation ("CMO"). CMOs are fully
collateralized bonds that are the general obligations of the issuer thereof
(e.g., the U.S. government, a U.S. government instrumentality, or a private
issuer). Such bonds generally are secured by an assignment to a trustee (under
the indenture pursuant to which the bonds are issued) of collateral consisting
of a pool of mortgages. Payments with respect to the underlying mortgages
generally are made to the trustee under the indenture. Payments of principal and
interest on the underlying mortgages are not passed through to the holders of
the CMOs as such (i.e., the character of payments of principal and interest is
not passed through, and therefore payments to holders of CMOs attributable to
interest paid and principal repaid on the underlying mortgages do not
necessarily constitute income and return of capital, respectively, to such
holders), but such payments are dedicated to payment of interest on and
repayment of principal of the CMOs.


         Principal and interest on the underlying mortgage assets may be
allocated among the several classes of CMOs in various ways. In certain
structures (known as "sequential pay" CMOs), payments of principal, including
any principal prepayments, on the mortgage assets generally are applied to the
classes of CMOs in the order of their respective final distribution dates. Thus,
no payment of principal will be made on any class of sequential pay CMOs until
all other classes having an earlier final distribution date have been paid in
full.

         Additional structures of CMOs include, among others, "parallel pay"
CMOs. Parallel pay CMOs are structured to apply principal payments and
prepayments of the mortgage assets to two or more classes concurrently
on a proportionate or disproportionate basis. These simultaneous payments are
taken into account in calculating the final distribution date of each class.

         A wide variety of CMOs may be issued in the parallel pay or sequential
pay structures. These securities include accrual certificates (also known as
"Z-Bonds"), which accrue interest at a specified rate only until all other
certificates having an earlier final distribution date have been retired and are
converted thereafter to an interest-paying security, and planned amortization
class ("PAC") certificates, which are parallel pay CMOs that generally require
that specified amounts of principal be applied on each payment date to one or
more classes of CMOs (the "PAC Certificates"), even though all other principal
payments and prepayments of the mortgage assets are then required to be applied
to one or more other classes of the certificates. The scheduled principal
payments for the PAC Certificates generally have the highest priority on each
payment date after interest due has been paid to all


                                      B-9
<PAGE>


classes entitled to receive interest currently. Shortfalls, if any, are added to
the amount payable on the next payment date. The PAC Certificate payment
schedule is taken into account in calculating the final distribution date of
each class of PAC. In order to create PAC tranches, one or more tranches
generally must be created to absorb most of the volatility in the underlying
mortgage assets. These tranches tend to have market prices and yields that are
much more volatile than the PAC classes.


         Each Portfolio may also invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities.
Stripped mortgage-backed securities are often structured with two classes that
receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a
pool of mortgage assets. Stripped mortgage-backed securities have greater market
volatility than other types of U.S. government securities in which a Portfolio
invests. A common type of stripped mortgage-backed security has one class
receiving some or none of the interest and all or most of the inter of the
principal (the "principal only" class) from the mortgage pool, while the other
class will receive all or most of the interest (the "interest only" class). The
yield to maturity on an interest only class is extremely sensitive not only to
changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal
payments, including principal prepayments, on the underlying pool of mortgage
assets, and a rapid rate of principal payment may have a material adverse effect
on a Portfolio's yield. While interest-only and principal-only securities are
generally regarded as being illiquid, such securities may be deemed to be liquid
if they can be disposed of promptly in the ordinary course of business at a
value reasonably close to that used in the calculation of a Portfolio's net
asset value per share. Only government interest only and principal only
securities backed by fixed-rate mortgages and determined to be liquid under
guidelines and standards established by the Directors may be considered liquid
securities not subject to a Portfolio's limitation on investments in illiquid
securities.

         ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES. Each Portfolio may invest in asset-backed
securities. These securities, issued by trusts and special purpose corporations,
are backed by a pool of assets, such as credit card and automobile loan
receivables, representing the obligations of a number of different parties.

         Asset-backed securities present certain risks. For instance, in the
case of credit card receivables, these securities may not have the benefit of
any security interest in the related collateral. Credit card receivables are
generally unsecured and the debtors are entitled to the protection of a number
of state and federal consumer credit laws, many of which give such debtors the
right to set off certain amounts owed on the credit cards, thereby reducing the
balance due. Most issuers of automobile receivables permit the servicer to
retain possession of the underlying obligations. If the servicer were to sell
these obligations to another party, there is a risk that the purchaser would
acquire an interest superior to that of the holders of the related automobile
receivables. Therefore, there is the possibility that the issuer of the
asset-backed security may be unable to meet its payments, in whole or in part,
to the holders of the asset-backed securities, including a Portfolio. In
addition, because of the large number of vehicles involved in a typical issuance
and technical requirements under state laws, the trustee for the holders of the
automobile receivables may not have a proper security interest in all of the
obligations backing such receivables. Therefore, there is the possibility that
recoveries on repossessed collateral may not, in some cases, be available to
support payments on these securities.


         Asset-backed securities are often backed by a pool of assets
representing the obligations of a number of different parties. To lessen the
effect of failures by obligors to make payments on underlying assets, the
securities may contain elements of credit support that fall into two categories:
(i) liquidity protection and (ii) protection against losses resulting from
ultimate default by an obligor on the underlying assets. Liquidity protection
refers to the provision of advances, generally by the entity administering the
pool of assets, to ensure that the receipt of payments on the underlying pool
occurs in a timely fashion. Protection against losses resulting from ultimate
default ensures payment through insurance policies or letters of credit obtained
by the issuer or sponsor from third parties. A

                                      B-10
<PAGE>


Portfolio will not pay any additional or separate fees for credit support. The
degree of credit support provided for each issue is generally based on
historical information respecting the level of credit risk associated with the
underlying assets. Delinquency or loss in excess of that anticipated or failure
of the credit support could adversely affect the return on an investment in such
a security.


         ZERO COUPON BONDS, STEP-COUPON BONDS, DEFERRED INTEREST BONDS AND PIK
BONDS. Fixed income securities in which a Portfolio may invest also include zero
coupon bonds, step-coupon bonds, deferred interest bonds and bonds on which the
interest is payable in kind ("PIK bonds"). Zero coupon and deferred interest
bonds are debt obligations issued or purchased at a significant discount from
face value. A step-coupon bond is one in which a change in interest rate is
fixed contractually in advance. PIK bonds are debt obligations that provide that
the issuer thereof may, at its option, pay interest on such bonds in cash or in
the form of additional debt obligations. Such investments may experience greater
volatility in market value due to changes in interest rates and other factors
than debt obligations that make regular payments of interest. A Portfolio will
accrue income on such investments for tax and accounting purposes, as required,
that is distributable to shareholders and which, because no cash is received at
the time of accrual, may require the liquidation of other portfolio securities
under disadvantageous circumstances to satisfy the Portfolio's distribution
obligations.

         LOAN PARTICIPATIONS. Each Portfolio may invest in loan participations.
Loan participations are loans sold by the lending bank to an investor. The loan
participant borrower may be a company with highly-rated commercial paper that
finds it can obtain cheaper funding through a loan participation than with
commercial paper and can also increase the company's name recognition in the
capital markets. Loan participations often generate greater yield than
commercial paper.


         The borrower of the underlying loan will be deemed to be the issuer
except to the extent the Portfolio derives its rights from the intermediary bank
that sold the loan participations. Because loan participations are undivided
interests in a loan made by the issuing bank, the Portfolio may not have the
right to proceed against the loan participations borrower without the consent of
other holders of the loan participations. In addition, loan participations will
be treated as illiquid if, in the judgment of the Adviser, they can not be sold
within seven days.


         SHORT-TERM DEBT SECURITIES. As described in the Prospectus, in addition
to its primary investments, the Focus Portfolio may also invest up to 10% of its
total assets, and the Focused TechNet Portfolio may also invest up to 25% of its
total assets, in U.S. dollar denominated money market instruments (a) for
liquidity purposes (to meet redemptions and expenses) or (b) to generate a
return on idle cash held in a Portfolio's portfolio during periods when an
Adviser is unable to locate favorable investment opportunities. For temporary
defensive purposes, each Portfolio may invest up to 100% of its total assets in
cash and short-term fixed income securities, including corporate debt
obligations and money market instruments rated in one of the two highest
categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (or
determined by the Adviser to be of equivalent quality). The types of short-term
and temporary defensive investments in which a Portfolio may invest are
described below:


                  Money Market Securities - Money market securities may include
                  securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its
                  agencies or instrumentalities, repurchase agreements,
                  commercial paper, bankers' acceptances, time deposits and
                  certificates of deposit.


                  Commercial Bank Obligations - Certificates of deposit
                  (interest-bearing time deposits), including Eurodollar
                  certificates of deposit (certificates of deposit issued by
                  domestic or foreign banks located outside the U.S.) and Yankee
                  certificates of deposit (certificates of deposit issued by
                  branches of foreign banks located in the U.S.), domestic and
                  foreign bankers' acceptances (time



                                      B-11
<PAGE>



                  drafts drawn on a commercial bank where the bank accepts an
                  irrevocable obligation to pay at maturity) and documented
                  discount notes (corporate promissory discount notes
                  accompanied by a commercial bank guarantee to pay at maturity)
                  representing direct or contingent obligations of commercial
                  banks with total assets in excess of $1 billion, based on the
                  latest published reports. Each Portfolio may also invest in
                  obligations issued by U.S. commercial banks with total assets
                  of less than $1 billion if the principal amount of these
                  obligations owned by the Portfolio is fully insured by the
                  Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Each Portfolio
                  may also invest in notes and obligations issued by foreign
                  branches of U.S. and foreign commercial banks.

                  Savings Association Obligations - Certificates of deposit
                  (interest-bearing time deposits) issued by mutual savings
                  banks or savings and loan associations with assets in excess
                  of $1 billion and whose deposits are insured by the FDIC. Each
                  Portfolio may also invest in obligations issued by mutual
                  savings banks or savings and loan associations with total
                  assets of less than $1 billion if the principal amount of
                  these obligations owned by the Portfolio is fully insured by
                  the FDIC.

                  Commercial Paper - Short-term notes (up to 12 months) issued
                  by domestic and foreign corporations or governmental bodies.
                  Each Portfolio may purchase commercial paper only if judged by
                  the Adviser to be of suitable investment quality. This
                  includes commercial paper that is (a) rated in the two highest
                  categories by Standard & Poor's and by Moody's, or (b) other
                  commercial paper deemed on the basis of the issuer's
                  creditworthiness to be of a quality appropriate for the
                  Portfolio. See the Appendix for a description of the ratings.
                  A Portfolio will not purchase commercial paper described in
                  (b) above if such paper would in the aggregate exceed 15% of
                  its total assets after such purchase. The commercial paper in
                  which the Portfolio may invest includes variable amount master
                  demand notes. Variable amount master demand notes permit a
                  Portfolio to invest varying amounts at fluctuating rates of
                  interest pursuant to the agreement in the master note. These
                  are direct lending obligations between the lender and
                  borrower, they are generally not traded, and there is no
                  secondary market. Such instruments are payable with accrued
                  interest in whole or in part on demand. The amounts of the
                  instruments are subject to daily fluctuations as the
                  participants increase or decrease the extent of their
                  participation. Investments in these instruments are limited to
                  those that have a demand feature enabling the Portfolio
                  unconditionally to receive the amount invested from the issuer
                  upon seven or fewer days' notice. In connection with master
                  demand note arrangements, the Adviser, subject
                  to the direction of the Directors, monitors on an ongoing
                  basis the earning power, cash flow and other liquidity ratios
                  of the borrower, and its ability to pay principal and interest
                  on demand. The Adviser also considers the extent to which the
                  variable amount master demand notes are backed by bank letters
                  of credit. These notes generally are not rated by Moody's or
                  Standard & Poor's and a Portfolio may invest in them only if
                  it is determined that at the time of investment the notes are
                  of comparable quality to the other commercial paper in which
                  the Portfolio may invest. Master demand notes are considered
                  to have a maturity equal to the repayment notice period unless
                  the Adviser has reason to believe that the borrower could not
                  make timely repayment upon demand.

                  Corporate Bonds and Notes - Each Portfolio may purchase
                  corporate obligations that mature or that may be redeemed in
                  one year or less. These obligations originally may have been
                  issued with maturities in excess of one year. A Portfolio may
                  invest only in corporate bonds or notes of issuers having
                  outstanding short-term securities rated in the top two rating
                  categories by


                                      B-12

<PAGE>



                  Standard & Poor's and Moody's. See the Appendix for a
                  description of investment-grade ratings by Standard & Poor's
                  and Moody's.

                  Government Securities - Debt securities maturing within one
                  year of the date of purchase include adjustable-rate mortgage
                  securities backed by GNMA, FNMA, FHLMC and other non-agency
                  issuers. Although certain floating or variable rate
                  obligations (securities whose coupon rate changes at least
                  annually and generally more frequently) have maturities in
                  excess of one year, they are also considered short-term debt
                  securities. See "U.S. Government Securities" above. Each
                  Portfolio may also purchase securities issued or guaranteed by
                  a foreign government, its agencies or instrumentalities. See
                  "Foreign Securities" above.

         REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Each Portfolio may enter into repurchase
agreements involving only securities in which it could otherwise invest and with
selected banks, brokers and securities dealers whose financial condition is
monitored by the Adviser, subject to the guidance of the Board of Directors. In
such agreements, the seller agrees to repurchase the security at a mutually
agreed-upon time and price. The period of maturity is usually quite short,
either overnight or a few days, although it may extend over a number of months.
The repurchase price is in excess of the purchase price by an amount that
reflects an agreed-upon rate of return effective for the period of time a
Portfolio's money is invested in the security. Whenever a Portfolio enters into
a repurchase agreement, it obtains collateral having a value equal to at least
102% (100% if such collateral is in the form of cash) of the repurchase price,
including accrued interest. The instruments held as collateral are valued daily
and if the value of the instruments declines, the Portfolio will require
additional collateral. If the seller under the repurchase agreement defaults,
the Portfolio may incur a loss if the value of the collateral securing the
repurchase agreements has declined and may incur disposition costs in connection
with liquidating the collateral. In addition, if bankruptcy proceedings are
commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the
collateral by the Portfolio may be delayed or limited. The Directors have
established guidelines to be used by the Adviser in connection with transactions
in repurchase agreements and will regularly monitor each Portfolio's use of
repurchase agreements. A Portfolio will not invest in repurchase agreements
maturing in more than seven days if the aggregate of such investments along with
other illiquid securities exceeds 15% of the value of its net assets. However,
there is no limit on the amount of a Portfolio's net assets that may be subject
to repurchase agreements having a maturity of seven days or less for temporary
defensive purposes.

         DIVERSIFICATION. Each Portfolio is classified as "non-diversified" for
purposes of the 1940 Act, which means that it is not limited by the 1940 Act
with regard to the portion of assets that may be invested in the securities of a
single issuer. To the extent a Portfolio makes investments in excess of 5% of
its assets in the securities of a particular issuer, its exposure to the risks
associated with that issuer is increased.

         Because each Portfolio invests in a limited number of issuers, the
performance of particular securities may adversely affect the Portfolio's
performance or subject the Portfolio to greater price volatility than that
experienced by diversified investment companies. Each Portfolio intends to
maintain the required level of diversification and otherwise conduct its
operations in order to qualify as a "regulated investment company" for purposes
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). To qualify as a
regulated investment company under the Code, each Portfolio must, among other
things, diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each quarter of the
taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the market value of the Portfolio's assets is
represented by cash, U.S. government securities, the securities of other
regulated investment companies and other securities, with such other securities
of any one issuer limited for the purposes of this calculation to an amount not
greater than 5% of the value of the Portfolio's total assets and 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of such issuer, and (ii) not more than 25% of the
value of its total


                                      B-13
<PAGE>


assets is invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S.
government securities or the securities of other regulated investment
companies).

         In the unlikely event application of a Portfolio's strategy would
result in a violation of these requirements of the Code, the Portfolio would be
required to deviate from its strategy to the extent necessary to avoid losing
its status as a regulated investment company.

         DERIVATIVES STRATEGIES. Each Portfolio may write (i.e., sell) call
options ("calls") on securities that are traded on U.S. exchanges and
over-the-counter markets to enhance income through the receipt of premiums from
expired calls and any net profits from closing purchase transactions. After
writing such a covered call, up to 25% of a Portfolio's total assets may be
subject to calls. All such calls written by a Portfolio must be "covered" while
the call is outstanding (i.e., the Portfolio must own the securities subject to
the call or other securities acceptable for applicable escrow requirements). If
a call written by the Portfolio is exercised, the Portfolio forgoes any profit
from any increase in the market price above the call price of the underlying
investment on which the call was written.


        In addition, the Portfolio could experience capital losses, which might
cause previously distributed short-term capital gains to be re-characterized as
a non-taxable return of capital to shareholders.


         Each Portfolio may also write put options ("puts"), which give the
holder of the option the right to sell the underlying security to the Portfolio
at the stated exercise price. A Portfolio will receive a premium for writing a
put option that increases the Portfolio's return. A Portfolio writes only
covered put options, which means that so long as the Portfolio is obligated as
the writer of the option it will, through its custodian, have deposited and
maintained cash or liquid securities denominated in U.S. dollars or non-U.S.
currencies with a securities depository with a value equal to or greater than
the exercise price of the underlying securities.

         Primarily for hedging purposes, and from time to time for income
enhancement, each Portfolio may use interest rate futures contracts and stock
and bond index futures contracts, including futures on U.S. government
securities (together, "Futures"); and call and put options on equity and debt
securities, Futures, stock and bond indices. All puts and calls on securities,
interest rate Futures or stock and bond index Futures or options on such Futures
purchased or sold by a Portfolio will normally be listed on either (1) a
national securities or commodities exchange or (2) over-the-counter markets.
Because the markets for these instruments are relatively new and still
developing, the ability of a Portfolio to engage in such transactions may be
limited. Derivatives may be used to attempt to: (i) protect against possible
declines in the market value of a Portfolio's portfolio resulting from downward
trends in the equity and debt securities markets (generally due to a rise in
interest rates); (ii) protect a Portfolio's unrealized gains in the value of its
equity and debt securities that have appreciated; (iii) facilitate selling
securities for investment reasons; or (iv) establish a position in the equity
and debt securities markets as a temporary substitute for purchasing particular
equity and debt securities.

         A Portfolio's use of Futures and options on Futures will be incidental
to its activities in the underlying cash market. When hedging to attempt to
protect against declines in the market value of the portfolio, to permit a
Portfolio to retain unrealized gains in the value of portfolio securities that
have appreciated, or to facilitate selling securities for investment reasons,
the Portfolio could: (i) sell Futures; (ii) purchase puts on such Futures or
securities; or (iii) write calls on securities held by it or on Futures. When
hedging to attempt to protect against the possibility that portfolio securities
are not fully included in a rise in value of the debt securities market, the
Portfolio could: (i) purchase Futures, or (ii) purchase calls on such Futures or
on securities. Additional information about the derivatives a Portfolio may use
is provided below.


                                      B-14

OPTIONS


         Options on Securities. As noted above, each Portfolio may write and
purchase call and put options on equity and debt securities.

         When a Portfolio writes a call on a security, it receives a premium and
agrees to sell the underlying security to a purchaser of a corresponding call on
the same security during the call period (usually not more than 9 months) at a
fixed price (which may differ from the market price of the underlying security),
regardless of market price changes during the call period. The Portfolio has
retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security increase
during the call period, which may be offset to some extent by the premium.

         To terminate its obligation on a call it has written, a Portfolio may
purchase a corresponding call in a "closing purchase transaction." A profit or
loss will be realized, depending upon whether the net of the amount of the
option transaction costs and the premium received on the call written was more
or less than the price of the call subsequently purchased. A profit may also be
realized if the call expires unexercised, because a Portfolio retains the
underlying security and the premium received. If a Portfolio could not effect a
closing purchase transaction due to lack of a market, it would hold the callable
securities until the call expired or was exercised.

         When a Portfolio purchases a call (other than in a closing purchase
transaction), it pays a premium and has the right to buy the underlying
investment from a seller of a corresponding call on the same investment during
the call period at a fixed exercise price. A Portfolio benefits only if the call
is sold at a profit or if, during the call period, the market price of the
underlying investment is above the sum of the call price plus the transaction
costs and the premium paid and the call is exercised. If the call is not
exercised or sold (whether or not at a profit), it will become worthless at its
expiration date and a Portfolio will lose its premium payment and the right to
purchase the underlying investment.

         A put option on securities gives the purchaser the right to sell, and
the writer the obligation to buy, the underlying investment at the exercise
price during the option period. Writing a put covered by segregated liquid
assets equal to the exercise price of the put has the same economic effect to a
Portfolio as writing a covered call. The premium a Portfolio receives from
writing a put option represents a profit as long as the price of the underlying
investment remains above the exercise price. However, a Portfolio has also
assumed the obligation during the option period to buy the underlying investment
from the buyer of the put at the exercise price, even though the value of the
investment may fall below the exercise price. If the put expires unexercised, a
Portfolio (as the writer of the put) realizes a gain in the amount of the
premium. If the put is exercised, a Portfolio must fulfill its obligation to
purchase the underlying investment at the exercise price, which will usually
exceed the market value of the investment at that time. In that case, a
Portfolio may incur a loss, equal to the sum of the sale price of the underlying
investment and the premium received minus the sum of the exercise price and any
transaction costs incurred.

         A Portfolio may effect a closing purchase transaction to realize a
profit on an outstanding put option it has written or to prevent an underlying
security from being put. Furthermore, effecting such a closing purchase
transaction will permit a Portfolio to write another put option to the extent
that the exercise price thereof is secured by the deposited assets, or to
utilize the proceeds from the sale of such assets for other investments by the
Portfolio. A Portfolio will realize a profit or loss from a closing purchase
transaction if the cost of the transaction is less or more than the premium
received from writing the option.

         When a Portfolio purchases a put, it pays a premium and has the right
to sell the underlying investment to a seller of a corresponding put on the same
investment during the put period at a fixed exercise price. Buying a put

                                      B-15

<PAGE>

on an investment a Portfolio owns enables the Portfolio to protect itself during
the put period against a decline in the value of the underlying investment below
the exercise price by selling such underlying investment at the exercise price
to a seller of a corresponding put. If the market price of the underlying
investment is equal to or above the exercise price and as a result the put is
not exercised or resold, the put will become worthless at its expiration date,
and the Portfolio will lose its premium payment and the right to sell the
underlying investment pursuant to the put. The put may, however, be sold prior
to expiration (whether or not at a profit).

         Buying a put on an investment that a Portfolio does not own permits the
Portfolio either to resell the put or buy the underlying investment and sell it
at the exercise price. The resale price of the put will vary inversely with the
price of the underlying investment. If the market price of the underlying
investment is above the exercise price and as a result the put is not exercised,
the put will become worthless on its expiration date. In the event of a decline
in the stock market, a Portfolio could exercise or sell the put at a profit to
attempt to offset some or all of its loss on its portfolio securities.

         When writing put options on securities, to secure its obligation to pay
for the underlying security, a Portfolio will deposit in escrow liquid assets
with a value equal to or greater than the exercise price of the underlying
securities. A Portfolio therefore forgoes the opportunity of investing the
segregated assets or writing calls against those assets. As long as the
obligation of a Portfolio as the put writer continues, it may be assigned an
exercise notice by the broker-dealer through whom such option was sold,
requiring a Portfolio to take delivery of the underlying security against
payment of the exercise price. A Portfolio has no control over when it may be
required to purchase the underlying security, since it may be assigned an
exercise notice at any time prior to the termination of its obligation as the
writer of the put. This obligation terminates upon expiration of the put, or
such earlier time at which a Portfolio effects a closing purchase transaction by
purchasing a put of the same series as that previously sold. Once a Portfolio
has been assigned an exercise notice, it is thereafter not allowed to effect a
closing purchase transaction.

         Each Portfolio may use spread transactions for any lawful purpose
consistent with the Portfolio's investment objective. A Portfolio may purchase
covered spread options from securities dealers. Such covered spread options are
not presently exchange-listed or exchange-traded. The purchase of a spread
option gives a Portfolio the right to put, or sell, a security that it owns at a
fixed dollar spread or fixed yield spread in relationship to another security
that the Portfolio does not own, but which is used as a benchmark. The risk to a
Portfolio in purchasing covered spread options is the cost of the premium paid
for the spread option and any transaction costs. In addition, there is no
assurance that closing transactions will be available. The purchase of spread
options will be used to protect the Portfolio against adverse changes in
prevailing credit quality spreads, i.e., the yield spread between high quality
and lower quality securities. Such protection is provided only during the life
of the spread option.

         Options on Securities Indices. As noted above, each Portfolio may write
and purchase call and put options on securities indices. Puts and calls on
broadly-based securities indices are similar to puts and calls on securities
except that all settlements are in cash and gain or loss depends on changes in
the index in question (and thus on price movements in the securities market
generally) rather than on price movements in individual securities or Futures.
When a Portfolio buys a call on a securities index, it pays a premium. During
the call period, upon exercise of a call by a Portfolio, a seller of a
corresponding call on the same investment will pay the Portfolio an amount of
cash to settle the call if the closing level of the securities index upon which
the call is based is greater than the exercise price of the call. That cash
payment is equal to the difference between the closing price of the index and
the exercise price of the call times a specified multiple (the "multiplier")
which determines the total dollar value for each point of difference. When a
Portfolio buys a put on a securities index, it pays a premium and has the right
during the put period to require a seller of a corresponding put, upon the
Portfolio's exercise of its put, to deliver to the Portfolio

                                      B-16

<PAGE>

an amount of cash to settle the put if the closing level of the securities index
upon which the put is based is less than the exercise price of the put. That
cash payment is determined by the multiplier, in the same manner as described
above as to calls.


FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES


         Futures. Upon entering into a Futures transaction, a Portfolio will be
required to deposit an initial margin payment with the futures commission
merchant (the "futures broker"). The initial margin will be deposited with the
Corporation's custodian in an account registered in the futures broker's name;
however the futures broker can gain access to that account only under specified
conditions. As the Future is marked-to-market to reflect changes in its market
value, subsequent margin payments, called variation margin, will be paid to or
by the futures broker on a daily basis. Prior to expiration of the Future, if a
Portfolio elects to close out its position by taking an opposite position, a
final determination of variation margin is made, additional cash is required to
be paid by or released to the Portfolio, and any loss or gain is realized for
tax purposes. All Futures transactions are effected through a clearinghouse
associated with the exchange on which the Futures are traded.

         Interest rate futures contracts are purchased or sold for hedging
purposes to attempt to protect against the effects of interest rate changes on a
Portfolio's current or intended investments in fixed-income securities. For
example, if a Portfolio owned long-term bonds and interest rates were expected
to increase, that Portfolio might sell interest rate futures contracts. Such a
sale would have much the same effect as selling some of the long-term bonds in
that Portfolio's portfolio. However, since the Futures market is more liquid
than the cash market, the use of interest rate futures contracts as a hedging
technique allows a Portfolio to hedge its interest rate risk without having to
sell its portfolio securities. If interest rates did increase, the value of the
debt securities in the portfolio would decline, but the value of that
Portfolio's interest rate futures contracts would be expected to increase at
approximately the same rate, thereby keeping the net asset value of that
Portfolio from declining as much as it otherwise would have. On the other hand,
if interest rates were expected to decline, interest rate futures contracts may
be purchased to hedge in anticipation of subsequent purchases of long-term bonds
at higher prices. Since the fluctuations in the value of the interest rate
futures contracts should be similar to that of long-term bonds, a Portfolio
could protect itself against the effects of the anticipated rise in the value of
long-term bonds without actually buying them until the necessary cash became
available or the market had stabilized. At that time, the interest rate futures
contracts could be liquidated and that Portfolio's cash reserves could then be
used to buy long-term bonds on the cash market.

         Purchases or sales of stock or bond index futures contracts are used
for hedging purposes to attempt to protect a Portfolio's current or intended
investments from broad fluctuations in stock or bond prices. For example, a
Portfolio may sell stock or bond index futures contracts in anticipation of or
during a market decline to attempt to offset the decrease in market value of the
Portfolio's securities portfolio that might otherwise result. If such decline
occurs, the loss in value of portfolio securities may be offset, in whole or
part, by gains on the Futures position. When a Portfolio is not fully invested
in the securities market and anticipates a significant market advance, it may
purchase stock or bond index futures contracts in order to gain rapid market
exposure that may, in part or entirely, offset increases in the cost of
securities that the Portfolio intends to purchase. As such purchases are made,
the corresponding positions in stock or bond index futures contracts will be
closed out.

         Options on Futures. As noted above, each Portfolio may purchase and
write options on interest rate futures contracts, stock and bond index futures
contracts and forward contracts. (Unless otherwise specified, options on
interest rate futures contracts, options on stock and bond index futures
contracts are collectively referred to as "Options on Futures.")


                                      B-17
<PAGE>


         The writing of a call option on a Futures contract constitutes a
partial hedge against declining prices of the securities in the portfolio. If
the Futures price at expiration of the option is below the exercise price, the
Portfolio will retain the full amount of the option premium, which provides a
partial hedge against any decline that may have occurred in the portfolio
holdings. The writing of a put option on a Futures contract constitutes a
partial hedge against increasing prices of the securities or other instruments
required to be delivered under the terms of the Futures contract. If the Futures
price at expiration of the put option is higher than the exercise price, a
Portfolio will retain the full amount of the option premium which provides a
partial hedge against any increase in the price of securities the Portfolio
intends to purchase. If a put or call option a Portfolio has written is
exercised, the Portfolio will incur a loss that will be reduced by the amount of
the premium it receives. Depending on the degree of correlation between changes
in the value of its portfolio securities and changes in the value of its Options
on Futures positions, a Portfolio's losses from exercised Options on Futures may
to some extent be reduced or increased by changes in the value of portfolio
securities.

         Each Portfolio may purchase Options on Futures for hedging purposes,
instead of purchasing or selling the underlying Futures contract. For example,
where a decrease in the value of portfolio securities is anticipated as a result
of a projected market-wide decline or changes in interest or exchange rates, a
Portfolio could, in lieu of selling a Futures contract, purchase put options
thereon. In the event that such decrease occurs, it may be offset, in whole or
part, by a profit on the option. If the market decline does not occur, the
Portfolio will suffer a loss equal to the price of the put. Where it is
projected that the value of securities to be acquired by a Portfolio will
increase prior to acquisition, due to a market advance or changes in interest or
exchange rates, a Portfolio could purchase call Options on Futures, rather than
purchasing the underlying Futures contract. If the market advances, the
increased cost of securities to be purchased may be offset by a profit on the
call. However, if the market declines, the Portfolio will suffer a loss equal to
the price of the call but the securities the Portfolio intends to purchase may
be less expensive.


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT DERIVATIVES AND THEIR USE


         The Corporation's custodian, or a securities depository acting for the
custodian, will act as the Portfolios' escrow agent, through the facilities of
the Options Clearing Corporation ("OCC"), as to the securities on which the
Portfolio has written options or as to other acceptable escrow securities, so
that no margin will be required for such transaction. OCC will release the
securities on the expiration of the option or upon a Portfolio's entering into a
closing transaction.

         An option position may be closed out only on a market that provides
secondary trading for options of the same series, and there is no assurance that
a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option. A Portfolio's
option activities may affect its turnover rate and brokerage commissions. The
exercise by a Portfolio of puts on securities will result in the sale of related
investments, increasing portfolio turnover. Although such exercise is within the
Portfolio's control, holding a put might cause the Portfolio to sell the related
investments for reasons that would not exist in the absence of the put. A
Portfolio will pay a brokerage commission each time it buys a put or call, sells
a call, or buys or sells an underlying investment in connection with the
exercise of a put or call. Such commissions may be higher than those that would
apply to direct purchases or sales of such underlying investments. Premiums paid
for options are small in relation to the market value of the related
investments, and consequently, put and call options offer large amounts of
leverage. The leverage offered by trading in options could result in a
Portfolio's net asset value being more sensitive to changes in the value of the
underlying investments.


                                      B-18
<PAGE>


         In the future, each Portfolio may employ strategies that are not
presently contemplated but which may be developed, to the extent such investment
methods are consistent with a Portfolio's investment objectives, legally
permissible and adequately disclosed.


REGULATORY ASPECTS OF DERIVATIVES


         Each Portfolio must operate within certain restrictions as to its long
and short positions in Futures and options thereon under a rule (the "CFTC
Rule") adopted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC") under
the Commodity Exchange Act (the "CEA"), which excludes the Portfolio from
registration with the CFTC as a "commodity pool operator" (as defined in the
CEA) if it complies with the CFTC Rule. In particular, the Portfolio may (i)
purchase and sell Futures and options thereon for bona fide hedging purposes, as
defined under CFTC regulations, without regard to the percentage of the
Portfolio's assets committed to margin and option premiums, and (ii) enter into
non-hedging transactions, provided that the Portfolio may not enter into such
non-hedging transactions if, immediately thereafter, the sum of the amount of
initial margin deposits on the Portfolio's existing Futures positions and option
premiums would exceed 5% of the fair value of its portfolio, after taking into
account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such transactions.
Margin deposits may consist of cash or securities acceptable to the broker and
the relevant contract market.

         Transactions in options by a Portfolio are subject to limitations
established by each of the exchanges governing the maximum number of options
that may be written or held by a single investor or group of investors acting in
concert, regardless of whether the options were written or purchased on the same
or different exchanges or are held in one or more accounts or through one or
more exchanges or brokers. Thus, the number of options a Portfolio may write or
hold may be affected by options written or held by other entities, including
other investment companies having the same or an affiliated investment adviser.
Position limits also apply to Futures. An exchange may order the liquidation of
positions found to be in violation of those limits and may impose certain other
sanctions. Due to requirements under the 1940 Act, when a Portfolio purchases a
Future, the Portfolio will segregate cash or liquid securities in an amount
equal to the market value of the securities underlying such Future, less the
margin deposit applicable to it.


POSSIBLE RISK FACTORS IN HEDGING


         Participation in the options or Futures markets involves investment
risks and transaction costs to which a Portfolio would not be subject absent the
use of these strategies. If the Adviser's predictions of movements in the
direction of the securities and interest rate markets are inaccurate, the
adverse consequences to a Portfolio may leave the Portfolio in a worse position
than if such strategies were not used. There is also a risk in using short
hedging by selling Futures to attempt to protect against decline in value of the
portfolio securities (due to an increase in interest rates) that the prices of
such Futures will correlate imperfectly with the behavior of the cash (i.e.,
market value) prices of the Portfolio's securities. The ordinary spreads between
prices in the cash and Futures markets are subject to distortions due to
differences in the natures of those markets. First, all participants in the
Futures markets are subject to margin deposit and maintenance requirements.
Rather than meeting additional margin deposit requirements, investors may close
Futures contracts through offsetting transactions that could distort the normal
relationship between the cash and Futures markets. Second, the liquidity of the
Futures markets depends on participants entering into offsetting transactions
rather than making or taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make
or take delivery, liquidity in the Futures markets could be reduced, thus
producing distortion. Third, from the point-of-view of speculators, the deposit
requirements in the Futures markets are less onerous than margin requirements in
the securities markets. Therefore, increased participation by speculators in the
Futures markets may cause temporary price distortions.


                                      B-19

<PAGE>


         If a Portfolio establishes a position in the debt securities markets as
a temporary substitute for the purchase of individual debt securities (long
hedging) by buying Futures and/or calls on such Futures or on debt securities,
it is possible that the market may decline; if the Adviser then determines not
to invest in such securities at that time because of concerns as to possible
further market decline or for other reasons, the Portfolio will realize a loss
on the derivatives that is not offset by a reduction in the price of the debt
securities purchased.

         ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES. No more than 15% of the value of a
Portfolio's net assets determined as of the date of purchase may be invested in
illiquid securities, including repurchase agreements that have a maturity of
longer than seven days, interest-rate swaps, currency swaps, caps, floors and
collars, or in other securities that are illiquid by virtue of the absence of a
readily available market or legal or contractual restrictions on resale.
Historically, illiquid securities have included securities subject to
contractual or legal restrictions on resale because they have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
securities that are otherwise not readily marketable and repurchase agreements
having a maturity of longer than seven days. Repurchase agreements subject to
demand are deemed to have a maturity equal to the notice period. Securities that
have not been registered under the Securities Act are referred to as private
placements or restricted securities and are purchased directly from the issuer
or in the secondary market. Mutual funds do not typically hold a significant
amount of these restricted or other illiquid securities because of the potential
for delays on resale and uncertainty in valuation. Limitations on resale may
have an adverse effect on the marketability of portfolio securities and a mutual
fund might be unable to dispose of restricted or other illiquid securities
promptly or at reasonable prices and might thereby experience difficulty
satisfying redemptions within seven days. A mutual fund might also have to
register such restricted securities in order to dispose of them, resulting in
additional expense and delay. There will generally be a lapse of time between a
mutual fund's decision to sell an unregistered security and the registration of
such security promoting sale. Adverse market conditions could impede a public
offering of such securities. When purchasing unregistered securities, the
Portfolios will seek to obtain the right of registration at the expense of the
issuer (except in the case of Rule 144A securities, as described below).


         In recent years, a large institutional market has developed for certain
securities that are not registered under the Securities Act, including
repurchase agreements, commercial paper, foreign securities, municipal
securities and corporate bonds and notes. Institutional investors depend on an
efficient institutional market in which the unregistered security can be readily
resold or on an issuer's ability to honor a demand for repayment. The fact that
there are contractual or legal restrictions on resale to the general public or
to certain institutions may not be indicative of the liquidity of such
investments.


         For example, restricted securities that the Board of Directors, or the
Adviser pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Directors, has
determined to be marketable, such as securities eligible for sale under Rule
144A promulgated under the Securities Act, or certain private placements of
commercial paper issued in reliance on an exemption from such Act pursuant to
Section 4(2) thereof, may be deemed to be liquid for purposes of this
restriction. This investment practice could have the effect of increasing the
level of illiquidity in the portfolio to the extent that qualified institutional
buyers (as defined in Rule 144A) become for a time uninterested in purchasing
these restricted securities. In addition, a repurchase agreement that by its
terms can be liquidated before its nominal fixed-term on seven days or less
notice is regarded as a liquid instrument. The Adviser will monitor the
liquidity of such restricted securities subject to the supervision of the
Directors. In reaching liquidity decisions the Adviser will consider, inter
alia, pursuant to guidelines and procedures established by the Directors, the
following factors: (1) the frequency of trades and quotes for the security; (2)
the number of dealers wishing to purchase or sell the security and the number of
other potential purchasers; (3) dealer undertakings to make a market in the
security; and (4) the nature of the security and the nature of the marketplace
trades (e.g., the time needed to dispose of the security, the method of
soliciting offers and the mechanics of the transfer). Subject to the applicable


                                      B-20
<PAGE>


limitation on illiquid securities investments, a Portfolio may acquire
securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities in a
private placement.

         Commercial paper issues in which a Portfolio's net assets may be
invested include securities issued by major corporations without registration
under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemption from such registration
afforded by Section 3(a)(3) thereof, and commercial paper issued in reliance on
the so-called private placement exemption from registration afforded by Section
4(2) of the Securities Act ("Section 4(2) paper"). Section 4(2) paper is
restricted as to disposition under the federal securities laws in that any
resale must similarly be made in an exempt transaction. Section 4(2) paper is
normally resold to other institutional investors through or with the assistance
of investment dealers who make a market in Section 4(2) paper, thus providing
liquidity. Section 4(2) paper that is issued by a company that files reports
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is generally eligible to be sold in
reliance on the safe harbor of Rule 144A described above. A Portfolio's 15%
limitation on investments in illiquid securities includes Section 4(2) paper
other than Section 4(2) paper that the Adviser has determined to be liquid
pursuant to guidelines established by the Directors. The Directors have
delegated to the Advisers the function of making day-to-day determinations of
liquidity with respect to Section 4(2) paper, pursuant to guidelines approved by
the Directors that require the Advisers to take into account the same factors
described above for other restricted securities and require the Advisers to
perform the same monitoring and reporting functions.

         SHORT SALES. Each Portfolio may sell a security it does not own in
anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security (short sales). To
complete such a transaction, a Portfolio must borrow the security to make
delivery to the buyer. The Portfolio then is obligated to replace the security
borrowed by purchasing it at market price at the time of replacement. The price
at such time may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold
by the Portfolio. Until the security is replaced, the Portfolio is required to
pay to the lender any dividends or interest that accrue during the period of the
loan. To borrow the security, the Portfolio also may be required to pay a
premium, which would increase the cost of the security sold. The proceeds of the
short sale will be retained by the broker, to the extent necessary to meet
margin requirements, until the short position is closed out. Until the Portfolio
replaces a borrowed security, the Portfolio will maintain daily a segregated
account, containing cash or liquid securities, at such a level that (i) the
amount deposited in the account plus the amount deposited with the broker as
collateral will equal the current value of the security sold short and (ii) the
amount deposited in the segregated account plus the amount deposited with the
broker as collateral will not be less than the market value of the security at
the time it was sold short. A Portfolio will incur a loss as a result of the
short sale if the price of the security increases between the date of the short
sale and the date on which the Portfolio replaces the borrowed security. A
Portfolio will realize a gain if the security declines in price between those
dates. This result is the opposite of what one would expect from a cash purchase
of a long position in a security. The amount of any gain will be decreased, and
the amount of any loss increased, by the amount of any premium, dividends or
interest the Portfolio may be required to pay in connection with a short sale.

         Each Portfolio may make "short sales against the box." A short sale is
against the box to the extent that the Portfolio contemporaneously owns, or has
the right to obtain without payment, securities identical to those sold short. A
Portfolio may not enter into a short sale, including a short sale against the
box, if, as a result, more than 25% of its net assets would be subject to such
short sales.

         BORROWING. As a matter of fundamental policy each Portfolio is
authorized to borrow up to 33 1/3% of its total assets for temporary or
emergency purposes. In seeking to enhance investment performance, each Portfolio
may borrow money for investment purposes and may pledge assets to secure such
borrowings. This is the speculative factor known as leverage. This practice may
help increase the net asset value of the assets of a Portfolio in an amount
greater than would otherwise be the case when the market values of the
securities purchased through


                                      B-21

<PAGE>


borrowing increase. In the event the return on an investment of borrowed monies
does not fully recover the costs of such borrowing, the value of the Portfolio's
assets would be reduced by a greater amount than would otherwise be the case.
The effect of leverage will therefore tend to magnify the gains or losses to the
Portfolio as a result of investing the borrowed monies. During periods of
substantial borrowings, the value of the Portfolio's assets would be reduced due
to the added expense of interest on borrowed monies. Each Portfolio is
authorized to borrow, and to pledge assets to secure such borrowings, up to the
maximum extent permissible under the 1940 Act (i.e., presently 50% of net
assets). The time and extent to which a Portfolio may employ leverage will be
determined by the Adviser in light of changing facts and circumstances,
including general economic and market conditions, and will be subject to
applicable lending regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
Board.

         In seeking to enhance investment performance, each Portfolio may
increase its ownership of securities by borrowing at fixed rates of interest up
to the maximum extent permitted under the 1940 Act (presently 50% of net assets)
and investing the borrowed funds, subject to the restrictions stated in the
respective Prospectus. Any such borrowing will be made only pursuant to the
requirements of the 1940 Act and will be made only to the extent that the value
of the Portfolio's assets less its liabilities, other than borrowings, is equal
to at least 300% of all borrowings including the proposed borrowing. If the
value of a Portfolio's assets, so computed, should fail to meet the 300% asset
coverage requirement, the Portfolio is required, within three business days, to
reduce its bank debt to the extent necessary to meet such requirement and may
have to sell a portion of its investments at a time when independent investment
judgment would not dictate such sale. Interest on money borrowed is an expense
the Portfolio would not otherwise incur, so that it may have little or no net
investment income during periods of substantial borrowings. Since substantially
all of a Portfolio's assets fluctuate in value, but borrowing obligations are
fixed when the Portfolio has outstanding borrowings, the net asset value per
share of a Portfolio correspondingly will tend to increase and decrease more
when the Portfolio's assets increase or decrease in value than would otherwise
be the case. A Portfolio's policy regarding use of leverage is a fundamental
policy, which may not be changed without approval of the shareholders of the
Portfolio.

         LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. Consistent with applicable regulatory
requirements, each Portfolio may lend portfolio securities in amounts up to
33 1/3% of total assets to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions,
provided, that such loans are callable at any time by the Portfolio and are at
all times secured by cash or equivalent collateral. In lending its portfolio
securities, a Portfolio receives income while retaining the securities'
potential for capital appreciation. The advantage of such loans is that a
Portfolio continues to receive the interest and dividends on the loaned
securities while at the same time earning interest on the collateral, which will
be invested in high-quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase
agreements. A loan may be terminated by the borrower on one business day's
notice or by a Portfolio at any time. If the borrower fails to maintain the
requisite amount of collateral, the loan automatically terminates, and the
Portfolio could use the collateral to replace the securities while holding the
borrower liable for any excess of replacement cost over collateral. As with any
extensions of credit, there are risks of delay in recovery and in some cases
even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail
financially. However, these loans of portfolio securities will be made only to
firms deemed by the Adviser to be creditworthy. On termination of the loan, the
borrower is required to return the securities to a Portfolio; and any gain or
loss in the market price of the loaned security during the loan would inure to
the Portfolio. Each Portfolio will pay reasonable finders', administrative and
custodial fees in connection with a loan of its securities or may share the
interest earned on collateral with the borrower.

         Since voting or consent rights that accompany loaned securities pass to
the borrower, each Portfolio will follow the policy of calling the loan, in
whole or in part as may be appropriate, to permit the exercise of such rights if
the matters involved would have a material effect on the Portfolio's investment
in the securities that are the subject of the loan.



                                      B-22
<PAGE>



         REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Each Portfolio may enter into reverse
repurchase agreements with brokers, dealers, domestic and foreign banks or other
financial institutions that have been determined by the Adviser to be
creditworthy. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a Portfolio sells a security
and agrees to repurchase it at a mutually agreed upon date and price, reflecting
the interest rate effective for the term of the agreement. It may also be viewed
as the borrowing of money by the Portfolio. The Portfolio's investment of the
proceeds of a reverse repurchase agreement is the speculative factor known as
leverage. A Portfolio will enter into a reverse repurchase agreement only if the
interest income from investment of the proceeds is expected to be greater than
the interest expense of the transaction and the proceeds are invested for a
period no longer than the term of the agreement. The Portfolio will segregate
cash or liquid securities in an amount at least equal to its purchase
obligations under these agreements (including accrued interest). In the event
that the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for
bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the buyer or its trustee or receiver may
receive an extension of time to determine whether to enforce the Portfolio's
repurchase obligation, and the Portfolio's use of proceeds of the agreement may
effectively be restricted pending such decision. Reverse repurchase agreements
are considered to be borrowings and are subject to the percentage limitations on
borrowings. See "Investment Restrictions."

         DOLLAR ROLLS. Each Portfolio may enter into "dollar rolls" in which a
Portfolio sells mortgage or other asset-backed securities ("Roll Securities")
for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase
substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specified
future date. During the roll period, the Portfolio foregoes principal and
interest paid on the Roll Securities. The Portfolio is compensated by the
difference between the current sales price and the lower forward price for the
future purchase (often referred to as the "drop") as well as by the interest
earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. The Portfolio also could be
compensated through the receipt of fee income equivalent to a lower forward
price. A "covered roll" is a specific type of dollar roll for which there is an
offsetting cash position or a cash equivalent security position that matures on
or before the forward settlement date of the dollar roll transaction. A
Portfolio will enter into only covered rolls. Because "roll" transactions
involve both the sale and purchase of a security, they may cause the reported
portfolio turnover rate to be higher than that reflecting typical portfolio
management activities.


         Dollar rolls involve certain risks including the following: if the
broker-dealer to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the
Portfolio's right to purchase or repurchase the security subject to the dollar
roll may be restricted and the instrument the Portfolio is required to
repurchase may be worth less than an instrument the Portfolio originally held.
Successful use of dollar rolls will depend upon the Adviser's ability to predict
correctly interest rates and in the case of mortgage dollar rolls, mortgage
prepayments. For these reasons, there is no assurance that dollar rolls can be
successfully employed.

         STANDBY COMMITMENTS. Standby commitments are put options that entitle
holders to same day settlement at an exercise price equal to the amortized cost
of the underlying security plus accrued interest, if any, at the time of
exercise. A Portfolio may acquire standby commitments to enhance the liquidity
of portfolio securities, but only when the issuers of the commitments present
minimal risk of default. Ordinarily, the Portfolio may not transfer a standby
commitment to a third party, although it could sell the underlying municipal
security to a third party at any time. A Portfolio may purchase standby
commitments separate from or in conjunction with the purchase of securities
subject to such commitments. In the latter case, the Portfolio would pay a
higher price for the securities acquired, thus reducing their yield to maturity.
Standby commitments will not affect the dollar-weighted average maturity of the
Portfolio, or the valuation of the securities underlying the commitments.
Issuers or financial intermediaries may obtain letters of credit or other
guarantees to support their ability to buy securities on demand. The Adviser may
rely upon its evaluation of a bank's credit in determining whether to support an
instrument supported by a letter of credit. Standby commitments are subject to
certain risks, including the ability of issuers of standby commitments to pay
for securities at the time the commitments are exercised; the fact that standby



                                      B-23
<PAGE>



commitments are not marketable by the Portfolio; and the possibility that the
maturities of the underlying securities may be different from those of the
commitments.

         INTEREST-RATE SWAPS, MORTGAGE SWAPS, CAPS, COLLARS AND FLOORS. In order
to protect the value of portfolios from interest rate fluctuations and to hedge
against fluctuations in the fixed income market in which certain of the
Portfolios' investments are traded, each Portfolio may enter into interest-rate
swaps and mortgage swaps or purchase or sell interest-rate caps, floors or
collars. A Portfolio will enter into these hedging transactions primarily to
preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of the
portfolio and to protect against any increase in the price of securities the
Portfolio anticipates purchasing at a later date. A Portfolio may also enter
into interest-rate swaps for non-hedging purposes. Interest-rate swaps are
individually negotiated, and the Portfolio expects to achieve an acceptable
degree of correlation between its portfolio investments and interest-rate
positions. A Portfolio will enter into interest-rate swaps only on a net basis,
which means that the two payment streams are netted out, with the Portfolio
receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two
payments. Interest-rate swaps do not involve the delivery of securities, other
underlying assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to
interest-rate swaps is limited to the net amount of interest payments that the
Portfolio is contractually obligated to make. If the other party to an
interest-rate swap defaults, the Portfolio's risk of loss consists of the net
amount of interest payments that the Portfolio is contractually entitled to
receive. The use of interest-rate swaps is a highly specialized activity, which
involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with
ordinary portfolio securities transactions. All of these investments may be
deemed to be illiquid for purposes of the Portfolio's limitation on investment
in such securities. Inasmuch as these investments are entered into for good
faith hedging purposes, and inasmuch as segregated accounts will be established
with respect to such transactions, SunAmerica believes such obligations do not
constitute senior securities and accordingly will not treat them as being
subject to its borrowing restrictions. The net amount of the excess, if any, of
the Portfolio's obligations over its entitlements with respect to each
interest-rate swap will be accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash or
liquid securities having an aggregate net asset value at least equal to the
accrued excess will be segregated. The Portfolio will also establish and
maintain such segregated accounts with respect to its total obligations under
any interest-rate swaps that are not entered into on a net basis and with
respect to any interest-rate caps, collars and floors that are written by the
Portfolio.

         A Portfolio will enter into these transactions only with banks and
recognized securities dealers believed by the Adviser to present minimal credit
risk in accordance with guidelines established by the Board of Directors. If
there is a default by the other party to such a transaction, the Portfolio will
have to rely on its contractual remedies (which may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar laws) pursuant to the agreements related to the
transaction.


         The swap market has grown substantially in recent years with a large
number of banks and investment banking firms acting both as principals and as
agents utilizing standardized swap documentation. Caps, collars and floors are
more recent innovations for which documentation is less standardized, and
accordingly, they are less liquid than swaps.

         Mortgage swaps are similar to interest-rate swaps in that they
represent commitments to pay and receive interest. The notional principal
amount, upon which the value of the interest payments is based, is tied to a
reference pool or pools of mortgages.

         The purchase of an interest-rate cap entitles the purchaser, to the
extent that a specified index exceeds a predetermined interest rate, to receive
payments of interest on a notional principal amount from the party selling such
interest-rate cap. The purchase of an interest-rate floor entitles the
purchaser, to the extent that a specified


                                      B-24
<PAGE>


index falls below a predetermined interest rate, to receive payments of interest
on a notional principal amount from the party selling such interest-rate floor.


         FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS. Each Portfolio may invest in securities and other
instruments that do not presently exist but may be developed in the future,
provided that each such investment is consistent with the Portfolio's investment
objectives, policies and restrictions and is otherwise legally permissible under
federal and state laws. The Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information
will be amended or supplemented as appropriate to discuss any such new
investments.


                             INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS


         The Corporation has adopted for each Portfolio certain investment
restrictions that are fundamental policies and cannot be changed without the
approval of the holders of a majority of that Portfolio's outstanding shares.
Such majority is defined as the vote of the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the
outstanding shares present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the
outstanding shares are present in person or by proxy or (ii) more than 50% of
the outstanding shares. All percentage limitations expressed in the following
investment restrictions are measured immediately after the relevant transaction
is made. Each Portfolio may not:


        1.   Invest more than 25% of the Portfolio's total assets in the
             securities of issuers in the same industry. Obligations of the U.S.
             Government, its agencies and instrumentalities are not subject to
             this 25% limitation on industry concentration.

        2.   Invest in real estate (including limited partnership interests but
             excluding securities of companies, such as real estate investment
             trusts, that deal in real estate or interests therein); provided
             that the Portfolio may hold or sell real estate acquired as a
             result of the ownership of securities.


        3.   Purchase or sell commodities or commodity contracts, except to the
             extent that a Portfolio may do so in accordance with applicable law
             and the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, as they
             may be amended from time to time, and without registering as a
             commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act. Each
             Portfolio may engage in transactions in put and call options on
             securities and indices, spread transactions, forward and futures
             contracts on securities and indices, put and call options on such
             futures contracts, forward commitment transactions, interest rate,
             mortgage and currency swaps and interest rate floors and caps and
             may purchase hybrid instruments.


        4.   Make loans to others except for (a) the purchase of debt
             securities; (b) entering into repurchase agreements; (c) the
             lending of its portfolio securities; and (d) as otherwise permitted
             by exemptive order of the SEC.


        5.   Borrow money, except that (i) each Portfolio may borrow in amounts
             up to 33 1/3% of its total assets for temporary or emergency
             purposes, (ii) each Portfolio may borrow for investment purposes to
             the maximum extent permissible under the 1940 Act (i.e., presently
             50% of net assets), and (iii) each Portfolio may obtain such
             short-term credit as may be necessary for the clearance of
             purchases and sales of portfolio securities. This policy shall not
             prohibit a Portfolio's engaging in reverse repurchase agreements,
             dollar rolls and similar investment strategies described in the
             Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, as they may be
             amended from time to time.


                                      B-25
<PAGE>



        6.   Issue senior securities as defined in the 1940 Act, except that
             each Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, reverse
             repurchase agreements, dollar rolls, lend its portfolio securities
             and borrow money, as described above, and engage in similar
             investment strategies described in the Prospectus and Statement of
             Additional Information, as they may be amended from time to time.


        7.   Engage in underwriting of securities issued by others, except to
             the extent that a Portfolio may be deemed to be an underwriter in
             connection with the disposition of portfolio securities of the
             Portfolio.


         The Focused TechNet Portfolio primarily invests in companies whose
principal businesses are believed to be in a position to significantly benefit
from advances or improvements in technology (previously defined as "technology
companies"). Technology companies may be found in many different industries, and
for purposes of investment restriction no. 1, "industry" is determined by
reference to the DIRECTORY OF COMPANIES FILING ANNUAL REPORTS WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, published by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

         The following additional restrictions are not fundamental policies and
may be changed by the Directors without a vote of shareholders. Each Portfolio
may not:


        8.   Purchase securities on margin, provided that margin deposits in
             connection with futures contracts, options on futures contracts and
             other derivative instruments shall not constitute purchasing
             securities on margin.

        9.   Pledge, mortgage or hypothecate its assets, except to the extent
             necessary to secure permitted borrowings and, to the extent related
             to the segregation of assets in connection with the writing of
             covered put and call options and the purchase of securities or
             currencies on a forward commitment or delayed-delivery basis and
             collateral and initial or variation margin arrangements with
             respect to forward contracts, options, futures contracts and
             options on futures contracts. In addition, each Portfolio may
             pledge assets in reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls and
             similar investment strategies described in the Prospectus and
             Statement of Additional Information, as they may be amended from
             time to time.

        10.  Invest in securities of other registered investment companies,
             except by purchases in the open market, involving only customary
             brokerage commissions and as a result of which not more than 10% of
             its total assets (determined at the time of investment) would be
             invested in such securities, or except (i) to the extent permitted
             by applicable law.

        11.  Enter into any repurchase agreement maturing in more than seven
             days or investing in any other illiquid security if, as a result,
             more than 15% of a Portfolio's net assets would be so invested.
             Restricted securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A
             under the Securities Act that have a readily available market, and
             commercial paper exempted from registration under the Securities
             Act pursuant to Section 4(2) of that Act that may be offered and
             sold to "qualified institutional buyers" as defined in Rule 144A,
             which the Adviser has determined to be liquid pursuant to
             guidelines established by the Directors, will not be considered
             illiquid for purposes of this 15% limitation on illiquid
             securities.

*       A Director who may be deemed to be an interested person as that term is
defined in the 1940 Act.

        The Directors of the Corporation are responsible for the overall
supervision of the operation of the Corporation and each Portfolio and perform
various duties imposed on directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act and
under the Corporation's articles of incorporation. Directors and officers of the
Corporation are also Directors and officers of some or all of the other
investment companies managed, administered or advised by SunAmerica, and
distributed by SunAmerica Capital Services ("SACS" or the "Distributor") and
other affiliates.

        The Corporation pays each Director who is not an interested person of
the Corporation, SunAmerica or any Adviser, nor a party to any Management
Agreement or Subadvisory Agreement (collectively, the "Disinterested Directors")
annual compensation in addition to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses in
connection with attendance at meetings of the Directors. Specifically, each
Disinterested Director receives an aggregate of up to $60,000 in annual
compensation for acting as director or trustee to SAMF and/or AST, a pro rata
portion of which, based on relative net assets, is borne by the Corporation.


         In addition, each Disinterested Director also serves on the Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee is charged with
recommending to the full Board the engagement or discharge of the Corporation's
independent accountants; directing investigations into matters within the scope
of the independent accountants'

                                      B-28

duties; reviewing with the independent accountants the audit plan and results of
the audit; approving professional services provided by the independent
accountants and other accounting firms prior to the performance of such
services; reviewing the independence of the independent accountants; considering
the range of audit and non-audit fees; and preparing and submitting Committee
minutes to the full Board. Each member of the Audit Committee receives an
aggregate of up to $5,000 in annual compensation for serving on the Audit
Committees of SAMF and/or AST, a pro rata portion of which, based on relative
net assets, is borne by the Corporation. The Corporation also has a Nominating
Committee, comprised solely of Disinterested Directors, which recommends to the
Directors those persons to be nominated for election as Directors by
shareholders and selects and proposes nominees for election by Directors between
shareholders' meetings. Members of the Nominating Committee serve without
compensation.


         The Directors (and Trustees) of SAMF and AST have adopted the
SunAmerica Disinterested Trustees' and Directors' Retirement Plan (the
"Retirement Plan") effective January 1, 1993 for the Disinterested Directors.
The Retirement Plan provides generally that if a Disinterested Director who has
at least 10 years of consecutive service as a Disinterested Director of any of
SAMF or AST (an "Eligible Director") retires after reaching age 60 but before
age 70 or dies while a Director, such person will be eligible to receive a
retirement or death benefit from each SunAmerica Mutual Fund with respect to
which he or she is an Eligible Director. With respect to Sebastiano Sterpa, the
Disinterested Directors have determined to make an exception to existing policy
and allow Mr. Sterpa to remain on the Board past age 70, until he has served for
ten years. Mr. Sterpa will cease accruing retirement benefits upon reaching age
70, although such benefits will continue to accrue interest as provided for in
the Retirement Plan. As of each birthday, prior to the 70th birthday, each
Eligible Director will be credited with an amount equal to (i) 50% of his or her
regular fees (excluding committee fees) for services as a Disinterested Director
of each SunAmerica mutual fund for the calendar year in which such birthday
occurs, plus (ii) 8.5% of any amounts credited under clause (i) during prior
years. An Eligible Director may receive any benefits payable under the
Retirement Plan, at his or her election, either in one lump sum or in up to
fifteen annual installments.

         The following table sets forth information summarizing the compensation
that the Corporation paid each Disinterested Director for his services as
Director for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999. The Directors who are
interested persons of the Corporation receive no compensation.

      ADVISERS, PERSONAL SECURITIES TRADING, DISTRIBUTOR AND ADMINISTRATOR


         SUNAMERICA ASSET MANAGEMENT CORP. SunAmerica, which was organized as a
Delaware corporation in 1982, is located at The SunAmerica Center, 733 Third
Avenue, New York, NY 10017-3204, and acts as the investment manager to each of
the Portfolios pursuant to the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (the
"Management Agreement") with the Corporation, on behalf of each Portfolio.
SunAmerica is a wholly owned subsidiary of SunAmerica Inc., which in turn is a
wholly owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. ("AIG"), the
leading U.S.-based international insurance organization. AIG, a Delaware
corporation, is a holding company that through its subsidiaries is primarily
engaged in a broad range of insurance and insurance related activities and
financial services in the United States and abroad. AIG, through its
subsidiaries, is also engaged in a range of financial services activities. As of
March 31, 2000, SunAmerica managed, advised and/or administered more than $30
billion of assets.


         Under the Management Agreement, and except as delegated to the Advisers
under the Subadvisory Agreements (as defined below), SunAmerica selects and
manages the investment of the Portfolio, provides various administrative
services and supervises the Corporation's daily business affairs, subject to
general review by the Directors.


         Except to the extent otherwise specified in the Management Agreement,
each Portfolio pays, or causes to be paid, all other expenses of the Corporation
and each of the Portfolios, including, without limitation, charges and expenses
of any registrar, custodian, transfer and dividend disbursing agent; brokerage
commissions; taxes; engraving and printing of share certificates; registration
costs of the Portfolios and their shares under federal and state securities
laws; the cost and expense of printing, including typesetting, and distributing
Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information regarding the Portfolios,
and supplements thereto, to the shareholders of the Portfolios; all expenses of
shareholders' and Directors' meetings and of preparing, printing and mailing
proxy statements and reports to shareholders; all expenses incident to any
dividend, withdrawal or redemption options; fees and expenses of legal counsel
and independent accountants; membership dues of industry associations; interest
on borrowings of the Portfolios; postage; insurance premiums on property or
personnel (including Officers and Directors) of the Corporation that inure to
its benefit; extraordinary expenses (including, but not limited to, legal claims
and liabilities and litigation costs and any indemnification relating thereto);
and all other costs of the Corporation's operation.


                                      B-30
<PAGE>


         The annual rate of the investment advisory fee payable to SunAmerica
for the Focus Portfolio is 0.85% of average daily net assets, and for the
Focused TechNet Portfolio is 1.25% of average daily net assets.

         With respect to the Focus Portfolio, SunAmerica has agreed to waive
fees or reimburse expenses, if necessary, to keep operating expenses at or below
an annual rate of 1.45% of the assets of Class A shares and 2.10% of the assets
of Class B, Class C and Class II shares for the Portfolio. With respect to the
Focused TechNet Portfolio, SunAmerica has agreed to waive fees or reimburse
expenses, if necessary, to keep operating expenses at or below an annual rate of
1.97% of the assets of Class A shares and 2.62% of the assets of Class B, Class
C and Class II shares for the Portfolio. SunAmerica also may voluntarily waive
or reimburse additional amounts to increase the investment return to the
Portfolio's investors. Further, any waivers or reimbursements made by SunAmerica
with respect to a Portfolio are subject to recoupment from that Portfolio within
the following two years, provided that the Portfolio is able to effect such
payment to SunAmerica and remain in compliance with the foregoing expense
limitations. The potential reimbursements are accounted for as possible
contingent liabilities that are not recordable on the balance sheet of a
Portfolio until collection is probable, but appear as footnote disclosure to
each Portfolio's financial statements. At such time as it appears probable that
a Portfolio is able to effect such reimbursement and that SunAmerica intends to
seek such reimbursement, the amount of the reimbursement will be accrued as an
expense of the Portfolio for that current period.

         The following table sets forth the total advisory fees incurred by the
Focus Portfolio pursuant to the Management Agreement, or waived by SunAmerica,
for the fiscal years ended October 31, 1999 and 1998.

- ---------------------------------------------------
*        Without giving effect to fee waivers.

**       From date of inception of June 1, 1998.


         The Management Agreement continues in effect with respect to the
Portfolio, for a period of two years from the date of execution unless
terminated sooner, and thereafter from year to year, if approved at least
annually by vote of a majority of the Directors or by the holders of a majority
of the respective Portfolio's outstanding voting securities. Any such
continuation also requires approval by a majority of the Disinterested Directors
by vote cast in person at a meeting called for such purpose. The Management
Agreement may be terminated with respect to a Portfolio at any time, without
penalty, on 60 days' written notice by the Directors, by the holders of
a majority of the respective Portfolio's outstanding voting securities or by
SunAmerica. The Management Agreement automatically terminates with respect to
each Portfolio in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act and
the rules thereunder).

         Under the terms of the Management Agreement, SunAmerica is not liable
to a Portfolio, or its shareholders, for any act or omission by it or for any
losses sustained by the Portfolio or its shareholders, except in the case of
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty.


         THE ADVISERS. Fred Alger Management, Inc. ("Alger"), Jennison
Associates LLC ("Jennison") and Marsico Capital Management, LLC ("Marsico") act
as Advisers to the Focus Portfolio pursuant to subadvisory agreements with
SunAmerica. Dresdner RCM Global Investors ("Dresdner") and Van Wagoner Capital
Management, Inc. ("Van

                                      B-31


<PAGE>

Wagoner") act as Advisers to the Focused TechNet Portfolio pursuant to various
subadvisory agreements with SunAmerica. SunAmerica also advises a portion of the
Focused TechNet Portfolio as an Adviser.

         Each of the other Advisers is independent of SunAmerica and discharges
its responsibilities subject to the policies of the Directors and the
supervision of SunAmerica, which pays the Advisers' fees. Alger is wholly owned
by its principals. Jennison is wholly owned by The Prudential Insurance Company
of America. Thomas F. Marsico owns 50% of Marsico's voting stock and Bank of
America owns 50% of Marsico's voting stock. Dresdner is an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of Dresdner Bank AG. Van Wagoner is privately owned.

         As described in the Prospectus, SunAmerica will initially allocate the
assets of each Portfolio equally among the Advisers for that Portfolio, and
subsequently allocations of new cash flow and of redemption requests will be
made equally among the Advisers of each Portfolio unless SunAmerica determines,
subject to the review of the Directors, that a different allocation of assets
would be in the best interests of a Portfolio and its shareholders. The
Corporation expects that differences in investment returns among the portions of
a Portfolio managed by different Advisers will cause the actual percentage of a
Portfolio's assets managed by each Adviser to vary over time. In general, a
Portfolio's assets once allocated to one Adviser will not be reallocated (or
"rebalanced") to another Adviser for the Portfolio. However, SunAmerica reserves
the right, subject to the review of the Board, to reallocate assets from one
Adviser to another when deemed in the best interests of a Portfolio and its
shareholders. In addition, 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 a
Portfolio by more than 5%. If such a condition exists, SunAmerica will then
reallocate cash flows among the Advisers so as to effect a rebalancing of the
Portfolio's asset allocation. 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. Each Adviser is
paid monthly by SunAmerica a fee equal to a percentage of the average daily net
assets of the Portfolio allocated to the Adviser. In addition, SunAmerica has
agreed to pay an additional $50,000 to the Adviser with the highest total return
for its portion of each Portfolio for each calendar year. The aggregate annual
rates, as a percentage of daily net assets, of the fees payable by SunAmerica to
the Advisers for each Portfolio may vary according to the level of assets of
each Portfolio. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999, SunAmerica paid the
Advisers of the Focus Portfolio a fee of 0.40% of the assets of the
Portfolio. Because the Focused TechNet Portfolio has not commenced operations as
of the date of this Statement of Additional Information, no fees have yet been
paid to the Advisers.

         The Subadvisory Agreements continue in effect for a period of two years
from the date of their execution, unless terminated sooner. Thereafter, they may
be renewed from year to year, so long as continuance is specifically approved at
least annually in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. The
Subadvisory Agreements provide that they will terminate in the event of an
assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act) or upon termination of the Management
Agreement. Under the terms of the Subadvisory Agreements, no Adviser is liable
to the Portfolio, or its shareholders, for any act or omission by it or for any
losses sustained by the Portfolios or their shareholders, except in the case of
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of
obligations or duties. SunAmerica may terminate any agreement with an Adviser
without shareholder approval. Moreover, SunAmerica has received an exemptive
order from the SEC that permits SunAmerica, subject to certain conditions, to
enter into agreements relating to the Corporation 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 Funds, 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 will be notified of any
Adviser changes.

         PERSONAL SECURITIES TRADING. The Corporation and SunAmerica have
adopted a written Code of Ethics (the "SunAmerica Code"), which prescribes
general rules of conduct and sets forth guidelines with respect to personal
securities trading by "Access Persons" thereof. An Access Person is defined in
the SunAmerica Code as an individual who is a trustee, director, officer,
general partner or advisory person of the Corporation or SunAmerica. The topics
covered in the guidelines on personal securities trading include: (i) securities
being considered for purchase or sale, or purchased or sold, by any investment
company advised by SunAmerica, (ii) initial public offerings, (iii) private
placements, (iv) blackout periods, (v) short-term trading profits, (vi) gifts,
and (vii) services as a director. Access Persons may invest in securities,
including securities in which the Corporation may invest, subject to the
limitations set forth in the SunAmerica Code. The guidelines and restrictions in
the Code of Ethics comply with Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and are
substantially similar to those contained in the Report of the Advisory Group on
Personal Investing issued by the Investment Company Institute's Advisory Panel.
SunAmerica reports to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis, as to whether
there were any violations of the SunAmerica Code by Access Persons of the
Corporation or SunAmerica during the quarter.


         The Advisers have each adopted a written Code of Ethics, and have
represented that the provisions of such Code of Ethics are substantially similar
to those in the SunAmerica Code and comply with Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act.
Further, the Advisers report to SunAmerica on a quarterly basis, as to whether
there were any Code of Ethics violations by employees thereof who may be deemed
Access Persons of the Corporation insofar as such violations related to the
Corporation. In turn, SunAmerica reports to the Board of Directors as to whether
there were any violations of the SunAmerica Code by Access Persons of the
Corporation or SunAmerica.

         THE DISTRIBUTOR. The Corporation, on behalf of each Portfolio, has
entered into a distribution agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") with the
Distributor, a registered broker-dealer and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary
of AIG, to act as the principal underwriter in connection with the continuous
offering of each class of shares of each Portfolio. The address of the
Distributor is The SunAmerica Center, 733 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017-3204.
The Distribution Agreement provides that the Distributor has the exclusive right
to distribute shares of the Portfolios through its registered representatives
and authorized broker-dealers. The Distribution Agreement also provides that the
Distributor will pay the promotional expenses, including the incremental cost of
printing prospectuses, annual reports and other periodic reports respecting each
Portfolio, for distribution to persons who are not shareholders of such
Portfolio and the costs of preparing and distributing any other supplemental
sales literature. However, certain promotional expenses may be borne by the
Portfolio (see "Distribution Plans" below).


         SACS serves as Distributor of Class Z shares, with respect to the Focus
Portfolio and incurs the expenses of distributing the Portfolio's Class Z shares
under the Distribution agreement, none of which are reimbursed or paid by the
Corporation.

                                      B-33

<PAGE>

         The Distribution Agreement with respect to each Portfolio will remain
in effect for two years from the date of execution unless terminated sooner, and
thereafter from year to year if such continuance is approved at least annually
by the Directors, including a majority of the Disinterested Directors. The
Corporation and the Distributor each has the right to terminate the Distribution
Agreement with respect to a Portfolio on 60 days' written notice, without
penalty. The Distribution Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of
its assignment as defined in the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder.


         The Distributor may, from time to time, pay additional commissions or
promotional incentives to brokers, dealers or other financial services firms
that sell shares of the Portfolios. In some instances, such additional
commissions, fees or other incentives may be offered only to certain firms,
including Royal Alliance Associates, SunAmerica Securities, Inc., Koegler Morgan
& Company, Financial Service Corporation and Advantage Capital Corporation,
affiliates of the Distributor, that sell or are expected to sell during
specified time periods certain minimum amounts of shares of the Portfolios, or
of other funds underwritten by the Distributor. In addition, the terms and
conditions of any given promotional incentive may differ from firm to firm. Such
differences will, nevertheless, be fair and equitable, and based on such factors
as size, geographic location, or other reasonable determinants, and will in no
way affect the amount paid to any investor.


         DISTRIBUTION PLANS. As indicated in the Prospectus, the Directors of
the Corporation have adopted Distribution Plans (the "Class A Plan," the "Class
B Plan," the "Class C Plan" and the "Class II Plan" and collectively, the
"Distribution Plans") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. There is no
Distribution Plan in effect for Class Z shares of the Focus Portfolio. Reference
is made to "Fund Management - Distributor" in the Prospectus for certain
information with respect to the Distribution Plans.

         Under the Class A Plan, the Distributor may receive payments from a
Portfolio at an annual rate of up to 0.10% of average daily net assets of such
Portfolio's Class A shares to compensate the Distributor and certain securities
firms for providing sales and promotional activities for distributing that class
of shares. Under the Class B, Class C and Class II Plans, the Distributor may
receive payments from a Portfolio at the annual rate of up to 0.75% of the
average daily net assets of such Portfolio's Class B, Class C and Class II
shares to compensate the Distributor and certain securities firms for providing
sales and promotional activities for distributing each such class of shares. The
distribution costs for which the Distributor may be reimbursed out of such
distribution fees include fees paid to broker-dealers that have sold Portfolio
shares, commissions and other expenses such as sales literature, prospectus
printing and distribution and compensation to wholesalers. It is possible that
in any given year the amount paid to the Distributor under the Class A Plan, the
Class B Plan, the Class C Plan or the Class II Plan will exceed the
Distributor's distribution costs as described above. The Distribution Plans
provide that each class of shares of each Portfolio may also pay the Distributor
an account maintenance and service fee of up to 0.25% of the aggregate average
daily net assets of such class of shares for payments to broker-dealers for
providing continuing account maintenance.

         Continuance of the Distribution Plans with respect to each Portfolio is
subject to annual approval by vote of the Directors, including a majority of the
Disinterested Directors who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the
operation of the Plans or in any agreements related to the Plans (the
"Independent Directors"). A Distribution Plan may not be amended to increase
materially the amount authorized to be spent thereunder with respect to a class
of shares of a Portfolio, without approval of the shareholders of the affected
class of shares of the Portfolio. In addition, all material amendments to the
Distribution Plans must be approved by the Directors in the manner described
above. A Distribution Plan may be terminated at any time with respect to a
Portfolio without payment of any penalty by vote of a majority of the
Independent Directors or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the affected class of shares of the
Portfolio. So long as the Distribution Plans are in effect, the election and
nomination of the Independent Directors of the Corporation shall be committed to
the discretion of the Independent Directors. In the Directors' quarterly review
of the Distribution Plans, they will consider the continued appropriateness of,
and the level of, compensation provided in the Distribution Plans. In their
consideration of the Distribution Plans with respect to a Portfolio, the
Directors must consider all factors they deem relevant, including information as
to the benefits of the Portfolio and the shareholders of the relevant class of
the Portfolio.

         THE ADMINISTRATOR. The Corporation has entered into a Service
Agreement, under the terms of which SunAmerica Fund Services ("SAFS"), an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AIG, acts as a servicing agent assisting
State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") in connection with certain
services offered to the shareholders of each of the Portfolios. Under the terms
of the Service Agreement, SAFS may receive reimbursement of its costs in
providing such shareholder services. SAFS is located at The SunAmerica Center,
733 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017-3204.

         The Service Agreement will remain in effect for two years from the date
of approval with respect to each Portfolio and from year to year thereafter
provided its continuance is approved annually by vote of the Directors including
a majority of the Disinterested Directors.

         Pursuant to the Service Agreement, as compensation for services
rendered, SAFS receives a fee from the Corporation, computed and payable monthly
based upon an annual rate of 0.22% of average daily net assets. From this fee,
SAFS pays a fee to State Street, and its affiliate, National Financial Data
Services ("NFDS" and with State Street, the "Transfer Agent") (other than
out-of-pocket charges that would be paid by the Corporation). With respect to
the Focus Portfolio, no portion of such fee is paid or reimbursed by Class Z
shares. Class Z shares, however, pay all direct transfer agency fees and
out-of-pocket expenses. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999, the total
amount paid to the Administrator by the Corporation was $2,618,850. For further
information regarding the Transfer Agent see the section entitled "Additional
Information" below.

                      PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND BROKERAGE

         As discussed in the Prospectus, the Advisers are responsible for
decisions to buy and sell securities for each respective Portfolio, selection of
broker-dealers and negotiation of commission rates. Purchases and sales of
securities on a securities exchange are effected through broker-dealers who
charge a negotiated commission for their services. Orders may be directed to any
broker-dealer including, to the extent and in the manner permitted by applicable
law, an affiliated brokerage subsidiary of SunAmerica or another Adviser.



                                      B-35
<PAGE>

         In the over-the-counter market, securities are generally traded on a
"net" basis with dealers acting as principal for their own accounts without a
stated commission (although the price of the security usually includes a profit
to the dealer). In underwritten offerings, securities are purchased at a fixed
price, which includes an amount of compensation to the underwriter, generally
referred to as the underwriter's concession or discount. On occasion, certain
money market instruments may be purchased directly from an issuer, in which case
no commissions or discounts are paid.


         An Adviser's primary consideration in effecting a security transaction
is to obtain the best net price and the most favorable execution of the order.
However, the Adviser may select broker-dealers that provide it with research
services-analyses and reports concerning issuers, industries, securities,
economic factors and trends-and may cause a Portfolio to pay such broker-dealers
commissions that exceed those that other broker-dealers may have charged, if in
its view the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and/or research services provided by the broker-dealer. The research
services consist of assessments and analysis of the business or prospects of a
company, industry or economic sector. Certain research services furnished by
brokers may be useful to the Adviser with respect to clients other than the
Corporation and not all of these services may be used by the Adviser in
connection with the Corporation. No specific value can be determined for
research services furnished without cost to the Adviser by a broker. The
Advisers are of the opinion that because the material must be analyzed and
reviewed by its staff, its receipt does not tend to reduce expenses, but may be
beneficial in supplementing the Adviser's research and analysis. Therefore, it
may tend to benefit the Portfolio by improving the quality of the Adviser's
investment advice. The investment advisory fees paid by the Portfolio are not
reduced because the Adviser receives such services. When making purchases of
underwritten issues with fixed underwriting fees, the Adviser may designate the
use of broker-dealers who have agreed to provide the Adviser with certain
statistical, research and other information.

         Subject to applicable law and regulations, consideration may also be
given to the willingness of particular brokers to sell shares of a Portfolio as
a factor in the selection of brokers for transactions effected on behalf of a
Portfolio, subject to the requirement of best price and execution.

         Although the objectives of other accounts or investment companies that
the Adviser manages may differ from those of a Portfolio, it is possible that,
at times, identical securities will be acceptable for purchase by the Portfolio
and one or more other accounts or investment companies that the Adviser manages.
However, the position of each account or company in the securities of the same
issue may vary with the length of the time that each account or company may
choose to hold its investment in those securities. The timing and amount of
purchase by each account and company will also be determined by its cash
position. If the purchase or sale of a security is consistent with the
investment policies of one or more of the Portfolios and one or more of these
other accounts or companies is considered at or about the same time,
transactions in such securities will be allocated in a manner deemed equitable
by the Adviser. The Adviser may combine such transactions, in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations. However, simultaneous transactions could
adversely affect the ability of a Portfolio to obtain or dispose of the full
amount of a security, which it seeks to purchase or sell, or the price at which
such security can be purchased or sold. Because each of the Advisers to each
Portfolio manages its portion of the Portfolio's assets independently, it is
possible that the same security may be purchased and sold on the same day by two
or more Advisers to the same Portfolio, resulting in higher brokerage
commissions for the Portfolio.

         The following table sets forth the brokerage commissions paid by the
Focus Portfolio and the amounts of the brokerage commissions paid to affiliated
broker-dealers by the Portfolio for the fiscal years ended October 31, 1999 and
1998.

               ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING PURCHASE OF SHARES


         Upon making an investment in shares of a Portfolio, an open account
will be established under which shares of such Portfolio and additional shares
acquired through reinvestment of dividends and distributions will be held for
each shareholder's account by the Transfer Agent. Shareholders will not be
issued certificates for their shares unless they specifically so request in
writing, but no certificate is issued for fractional shares. Shareholders
receive regular statements from the Transfer Agent that report each transaction
affecting their accounts. Further information may be obtained by calling
Shareholder/Dealer Services at (800) 858-8850, extension 5125.

         Shareholders who have met a Portfolio's minimum initial investment may
elect to have periodic purchases made through a dollar cost averaging program.
At the shareholder's election, such purchases may be made from their bank
checking or savings account on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual
basis. Purchases can be made via electronic funds transfer through the Automated
Clearing House or by physical draft check. Purchases made via physical draft
check require an authorization card to be filed with the shareholder's bank.

         Shares of the Portfolios are sold at the respective net asset value
next determined after receipt of a purchase order, plus a sales charge, which,
at the election of the investor (i) may be imposed at the time of purchase
(Class A shares), (ii) may be deferred (Class B shares, Class C shares and
purchases of Class A shares in excess of $1 million) or (iii) may contain
elements of a sales charge that is both imposed at the time of purchase and
deferred (Class II shares). Reference is made to "Shareholder Account
Information" in the Prospectus for certain information as to the purchase of
Portfolio shares.

         The following table sets forth the front-end sales concessions with
respect to Class A shares of the Focus Portfolio, the amount of the front-end
sales concession that was reallowed to affiliated broker-dealers, and the
contingent deferred sales charges with respect to Class B and Class II shares of
the Focus Portfolio, received by the Distributor for the fiscal years ended
October 31, 1999 and 1998.

  ---------------------------
*       For the period from June 1, 1998 (commencement of offering of shares).


         WAIVER OF CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES. As discussed under
"Shareholder Account Information" in the Prospectus, the CDSC may be waived on
redemptions of Class B, Class C and Class II shares under certain circumstances.
The conditions set forth below are applicable with respect to the following
situations with the proper documentation:

         DEATH. CDSCs may be waived on redemptions within one year following the
death (i) of the sole shareholder on an individual account, (ii) of a joint
tenant where the surviving joint tenant is the deceased's spouse, or (iii) of
the beneficiary of a Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, Uniform Transfers to Minors
Act or other custodial account. The CDSC waiver is also applicable in the case
where the shareholder account is registered as community property. If, upon the
occurrence of one of the foregoing, the account is transferred to an account
registered in the name of the deceased's estate, the CDSC will be waived on any
redemption from the estate account occurring within one year of the death. If
Class B shares, Class C shares or Class II shares are not redeemed within one
year of the death, they will remain Class B shares, Class C shares or Class II
shares, as applicable, and be subject to the applicable CDSC, when redeemed.

         DISABILITY. A CDSC may be waived on redemptions occurring within one
year after the sole shareholder on an individual account or a joint tenant on a
spousal joint tenant account becomes disabled (as defined in Section 72(m)(7) of
the Code). To be eligible for such waiver, (i) the disability must arise after
the purchase of shares and (ii) the disabled shareholder must have been under
age 65 at the time of the initial determination of disability. If the account is
transferred to a new registration and then a redemption is requested, the
applicable CDSC will be charged.


         PURCHASES THROUGH THE DISTRIBUTOR. An investor may purchase shares of a
Portfolio through dealers who have entered into selected dealer agreements with
the Distributor. An investor's dealer who has entered into a distribution

                                      B-38
<PAGE>

arrangement with the Distributor is expected to forward purchase orders and
payment promptly to the Portfolio. Orders received by the Distributor before the
close of business will be executed at the offering price determined at the close
of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that day. Orders
received by the Distributor after the close of business will be executed at the
offering price determined after the close of regular trading of the NYSE on the
next trading day. The Distributor reserves the right to cancel any purchase
order for which payment has not been received by the fifth business day
following the investment. A Portfolio will not be responsible for delays caused
by dealers.

         PURCHASE BY CHECK. Checks should be made payable to the specific
Portfolio or to "SunAmerica Funds." If the payment is for a retirement plan
account for which SunAmerica serves as fiduciary, please note on the check that
payment is for such an account. In the case of a new account, purchase orders by
check must be submitted directly by mail to SunAmerica Fund Services, Inc.,
Mutual Fund Operations, The SunAmerica Center, 733 Third Avenue, New York, New
York 10017-3204, together with payment for the purchase price of such shares and
a completed New Account Application. Payment for subsequent purchases should be
mailed to SunAmerica Fund Services, Inc., c/o NFDS, P.O. Box 419373, Kansas
City, Missouri 64141-6373 and the shareholder's Portfolio account number should
appear on the check. For fiduciary retirement plan accounts, both initial and
subsequent purchases should be mailed to SunAmerica Fund Services, Inc., Mutual
Fund Operations, The SunAmerica Center, 733 Third Avenue, New York, New York
10017-3204. Certified checks are not necessary but checks are accepted subject
to collection at full face value in United States funds and must be drawn on a
bank located in the United States. Upon receipt of the completed New Account
Application and payment check, the Transfer Agent will purchase full and
fractional shares of the applicable Portfolio at the net asset value next
computed after the check is received, plus the applicable sales charge.
Subsequent purchases of shares of each Portfolio may be purchased directly
through the Transfer Agent. SAFS reserves the right to reject any check made
payable other than in the manner indicated above. Under certain circumstances,
the Corporation will accept a multi-party check (e.g., a check made payable to
the shareholder by another party and then endorsed by the shareholder to the
Corporation in payment for the purchase of shares); however, the processing of
such a check may be subject to a delay. The Corporation does not verify the
authenticity of the endorsement of such multi-party check, and acceptance of the
check by the Corporation should not be considered verification thereof. Neither
the Corporation nor its affiliates will be held liable for any losses incurred
as a result of a fraudulent endorsement. There are restrictions on the
redemption of shares purchased by check for which funds are being collected.
(See "Shareholder Account Information" in the Prospectus.)

         PURCHASE THROUGH SAFS. SAFS will effect a purchase order on behalf of a
customer who has an investment account upon confirmation of a verified credit
balance at least equal to the amount of the purchase order (subject to the
minimum $500 investment requirement for wire orders). If such order is received
at or prior to the Corporation's close of business, the purchase of shares of a
Corporation will be effected on that day. If the order is received after the
Corporation's close of business, the order will be effected on the next business
day.

         PURCHASE BY FEDERAL FUNDS WIRE. An investor may make purchases by
having his or her bank wire federal funds to the Corporation's Transfer Agent.
Federal funds purchase orders will be accepted only on a day on which the
Corporation and the Transfer Agent are open for business. In order to insure
prompt receipt of a federal funds wire, it is important that these steps be
followed:

        1.   You must have an existing SunAmerica Fund Account before wiring
             funds. To establish an account, complete the New Account
             Application and send it via facsimile to SAFS at: (212) 551- 5585.

        2.   Call SunAmerica Fund Services' Shareholder/Dealer Services, toll
             free at (800) 858-8850, extension 5125 to obtain your new account
             number.


                                      B-39
<PAGE>


        3.   Instruct the bank to wire the specified amount to the Transfer
             Agent: State Street Bank and Trust Company, Boston, MA, ABA#
             0110-00028; DDA# 99029712, SunAmerica [name of Portfolio, Class __]
             (include shareholder name and account number).


         WAIVER OF SALES CHARGES WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN PURCHASES OF CLASS A
SHARES. To the extent that sales are made for personal investment purposes, the
sales charge is waived as to Class A shares purchased by current or retired
officers, directors, and other full-time employees of SunAmerica and its
affiliates, as well as members of the selling group and family members of the
foregoing. In addition, the sales charge is waived with respect to shares
purchased by certain qualified retirement plans or employee benefit plans (other
than IRAs), sponsored or administered by SunAmerica or an affiliate thereof.
Such plans may include certain employee benefit plans qualified under Sections
401 or 457 of the Code, or employee benefit plans created pursuant to Section
403(b) of the Code and sponsored by nonprofit organizations defined under
Section 501(c)(3) of the Code (collectively, "Plans"). A Plan will qualify for
purchases at net asset value provided that (a) the initial amount invested in a
Portfolio, the other portfolios of the Corporation (or in combination with the
shares of other SAMF) is at least $750,000, (b) the sponsor signs a $750,000
Letter of Intent, (c) such shares are purchased by an employer-sponsored plan
with at least 75 eligible employees, or (d) the purchases are by trustees or
other fiduciaries for certain employer-sponsored plans, the trustee, fiduciary
or administrator that has an agreement with the Distributor with respect to such
purchases and all such transactions for the plan are executed through a single
omnibus account. Further, the sales charge is waived with respect to shares
purchased by "wrap accounts" for the benefit of clients of broker-dealers,
financial institutions, financial planners or registered investment advisers
adhering to the following standards established by the Distributor: (i) the
broker-dealer, financial institution or financial planner charges its client(s)
an advisory fee based on the assets under management on an annual basis, and
(ii) such broker-dealer, financial institution or financial planner does not
advertise that shares of a Portfolio may be purchased by clients at net asset
value. Shares purchased under this waiver may not be resold except to the
Portfolio. Shares are offered at net asset value to the foregoing persons
because of anticipated economies in sales effort and sales related expenses.
Reductions in sales charges apply to purchases or shares by a "single person"
including an individual; members of a family unit comprising husband, wife and
minor children; or a trustee or other fiduciary purchasing for a single
fiduciary account. Complete details concerning how an investor may purchase
shares at reduced sales charges may be obtained by contacting the Distributor.



         REDUCED SALES CHARGES (CLASS A SHARES ONLY). As discussed under
"Shareholder Account Information" in the Prospectus, investors in Class A shares
of a Portfolio may be entitled to reduced sales charges pursuant to the
following special purchase plans made available by the Corporation.

         COMBINED PURCHASE PRIVILEGE. The following persons may qualify for the
sales charge reductions or eliminations by combining purchases of Portfolio
shares into a single transaction:

        1.   an individual, or a "company" as defined in Section 2(a)(8) of the
             1940 Act (which includes corporations that are corporate affiliates
             of each other);

        2.   an individual, his or her spouse and their minor children,
             purchasing for his, her or their own account;

        3.   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);




                                      B-40
<PAGE>



        4.   tax-exempt organizations qualifying under Section 501(c)(3) of the
             Code (not including 403(b) plans);

        5.   employee benefit plans of a single employer or of affiliated
             employers, other than 403(b) plans; and

        6.   group purchases as described below.


         A combined purchase currently may also include shares of other of the
Corporation's portfolios and other funds in SAMF (other than money market funds)
purchased at the same time through a single investment dealer, if the dealer
places the order for such shares directly with the Distributor.

         RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATION. A purchaser of Portfolio shares may qualify for
a reduced sales charge by combining a current purchase (or combined purchases as
described above) with shares previously purchased and still owned; provided the
cumulative value of such shares (valued at cost or current net asset value,
whichever is higher), amounts to $50,000 or more. In determining the shares
previously purchased, the calculation will include, in addition to other Class A
shares of the particular Portfolio that were previously purchased, shares of the
other classes of the same Portfolio, as well as shares of any class of any other
of the Corporation's portfolios or of any of the other funds advised by
SunAmerica, as long as such shares were sold with a sales charge or acquired in
exchange for shares purchased with such a sales charge.

         The shareholder's dealer, if any, or the shareholder, must notify the
Distributor at the time an order is placed of the applicability of the reduced
charge under the Right of Accumulation. Such notification must be in writing by
the dealer or shareholder when such an order is placed by mail. The reduced
sales charge will not be granted if: (a) such information is not furnished at
the time of the order; or (b) a review of the Distributor's or the Transfer
Agent's records fails to confirm the investor's represented holdings.


         LETTER OF INTENT. A reduction of sales charges is also available to an
investor who, pursuant to a written "Letter of Intent" establishes a total
investment goal in Class A shares of one or more Portfolios and other of the
Corporation's portfolios to be achieved through any number of investments over a
thirteen-month period, of $50,000 or more. Each investment in such Portfolio and
other portfolios made during the period will be subject to a reduced sales
charge applicable to the goal amount. The initial purchase must be at least 5%
of the stated investment goal and shares totaling 5% of the dollar amount of the
Letter of Intent will be held in escrow by the Transfer Agent, in the name of
the investor. Shares of any class of shares of any Portfolio, other portfolio of
the Corporation or of other funds advised by SunAmerica that impose a sales
charge at the time of purchase, which the investor intends to purchase or has
previously purchased during a 30-day period prior to the date of execution of
the Letter of Intent and still owns, may also be included in determining the
applicable reduction; provided, the dealer or shareholder notifies the
Distributor of such prior purchase(s).

         The Letter of Intent does not obligate the investor to purchase, nor
the Corporation to sell, the indicated amounts of the investment goal. In the
event the investment goal is not achieved within the thirteen-month period, the
investor is required to pay the difference between the sales charge otherwise
applicable to the purchases made during this period and sales charges actually
paid. Such payment may be made directly to the Distributor or, if not paid, the
Distributor is authorized by the Letter of Intent to liquidate a sufficient
number of escrowed shares to obtain such difference. If the goal is exceeded and
purchases pass the next sales charge break-point, the sales charge on the entire
amount of the purchase that results in passing that break-point, and on
subsequent purchases, will be subject to a further reduced sales charge in the
same manner as set forth above under "Rights of Accumulation," but there will be
no retroactive reduction of sales charges on previous purchases. At any time
while a Letter of Intent



                                      B-41
<PAGE>



is in effect, a shareholder may, by written notice to the Distributor, increase
the amount of the stated goal. In that event, shares of the applicable Portfolio
purchased during the previous 90-day period and still owned by the shareholder
will be included in determining the applicable sales charge. The 5% escrow and
the minimum purchase requirement will be applicable to the new stated goal.
Investors electing to purchase shares of a Portfolio pursuant to this purchase
plan should carefully read such Letter of Intent.

         REDUCED SALES CHARGE FOR GROUP PURCHASES. Members of qualified groups
may purchase Class A shares of the Portfolios under the combined purchase
privilege as described above.

         To receive a rate based on combined purchases, group members must
purchase Class A shares of a Portfolio through a single investment dealer
designated by the group. The designated dealer must transmit each member's
initial purchase to the Distributor, together with payment and completed New
Account Application. After the initial purchase, a member may send funds for the
purchase of Class A shares directly to the Transfer Agent. Purchases of a
Portfolio's shares are made at the public offering price based on the net asset
value next determined after the Distributor or the Transfer Agent receives
payment for the Class A shares. The minimum investment requirements described
above apply to purchases by any group member.


         Qualified groups include the employees of a corporation or a sole
proprietorship, members and employees of a partnership or association, or other
organized groups of persons (the members of which may include other qualified
groups) provided that: (i) the group has at least 25 members of which at least
ten members participate in the initial purchase; (ii) the group has been in
existence for at least six months; (iii) the group has some purpose in addition
to the purchase of investment company shares at a reduced sales charge; (iv) the
group's sole organizational nexus or connection is not that the members are
credit card customers of a bank or broker-dealer, clients of an investment
adviser or security holders of a company; (v) the group agrees to provide its
designated investment dealer at least annually access to the group's membership
by means of written communication or direct presentation to the membership at a
meeting; (vi) the group or its investment dealer will provide annual
certification, in form satisfactory to the Transfer Agent, that the group then
has at least 25 members and that at least ten members participated in group
purchases during the immediately preceding 12 calendar months; and (vii) the
group or its investment dealer will provide periodic certification, in form
satisfactory to the Transfer Agent, as to the eligibility of the purchasing
members of the group.


         Members of a qualified group include: (i) any group that meets the
requirements stated above and is a constituent member of a qualified group; (ii)
any individual purchasing for his or her own account who is carried on the
records of the group or on the records of any constituent member of the group as
being a good standing employee, partner, member or person of like status of the
group or constituent member; or (iii) any fiduciary purchasing shares for the
account of a member of a qualified group or a member's beneficiary. For example,
a qualified group could consist of a trade association that would have as its
members individuals, sole proprietors, partnerships and corporations. The
members of the group would then consist of the individuals, the sole proprietors
and their employees, the members of the partnership and their employees, and the
corporations and their employees, as well as the trustees of employee benefit
trusts acquiring a Portfolio's shares for the benefit of any of the foregoing.

         Interested groups should contact their investment dealer or the
Distributor. The Corporation reserves the right to revise the terms of or to
suspend or discontinue group sales with respect to shares of a Portfolio at any
time.

         NET ASSET VALUE TRANSFER PROGRAM. Investors may purchase shares of a
Portfolio at net asset value to the extent that the investment represents the
proceeds from a redemption of a non-SunAmerica mutual fund in which the investor
either (a) paid a front-end sales load or (b) was subject to, or paid a CDSC on
the redemption proceeds. Shareholders may purchase either Class A, Class B,
Class C or Class II shares through the program to the extent that they
previously held shares of a non-SunAmerica Mutual Fund with a similar load
structure to the respective SunAmerica Mutual Fund share class. With respect to
sales of Class A shares through the program, the Distributor will pay a 0.50%
commission and 0.25% service fee to any dealer who initiates or is responsible
for such an investment. With respect to sales of Class B and Class C shares
through the program, they will receive 0.50% of the amount invested as
commission and 0.25% as a service fee, payable beginning the 13th month
following the purchase of such shares. (Class B shares will convert to Class A
shares as provided in the prospectus.). These payments are subject, however, to
forfeiture in the event of a redemption during the first year from the date of
purchase. No commission shall be paid on sales of Class II shares, but dealers
will receive a 1% service fee, commencing immediately and paid quarterly. In
addition, it is essential that a Net Asset Value Transfer Program Form accompany
the New Account Application to indicate that the investment is intended to
participate in the Net Asset Value Transfer Program. This program may be revised
or terminated without notice by the Distributor. For current information,
contact Shareholder/Dealer Services at (800) 858-8850, extension 5125.


              ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING REDEMPTION OF SHARES


         Reference is made to "Shareholder Account Information" in the
Prospectus for certain information as to the redemption of Portfolio shares.
Focus Portfolio, having filed with the SEC a notification of election pursuant
to Rule 18f-1, is committed to pay in cash all requests for redemption, by any
shareholder of record, limited in amount with respect to each shareholder during
any 90-day period to the lesser of (i) $250,000, or (ii) 1% of the net asset
value of Focus Portfolio at the beginning of such period.

         If the Directors determine that it would be detrimental to the best
interests of the remaining shareholders of a Portfolio to make payment wholly or
partly in cash, the Corporation, may pay the redemption price in whole, or in
part, by a distribution in kind of securities from a Portfolio in lieu of cash.
If shares are redeemed in kind, the redeeming shareholder would incur brokerage
costs in converting the assets into cash. The method of valuing portfolio
securities is described below in the section entitled "Determination of Net
Asset Value," and such valuation will be made as of the same time the redemption
price is determined.

         The Distributor is authorized, as agent for the Portfolios, to offer to
repurchase shares that are presented by telephone to the Distributor by
investment dealers. Orders received by dealers must be at least $500. The
repurchase price is the net asset value per share of the applicable class of
shares of a Portfolio next-determined after the repurchase order is received,
less any applicable CDSC. Repurchase orders received by the Distributor after
the Portfolio's close of business will be priced based on the next business
day's close. Dealers may charge for their services in connection with the
repurchase, but neither the Portfolios nor the Distributor imposes any such
charge. The offer to repurchase may be suspended at any time.


                               EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE


         Shareholders of a Portfolio may exchange their shares for the same
class of shares of the other Portfolio, other portfolios of the Corporation or
other SunAmerica Mutual Funds that offer such class at the respective net


                                      B-43
<PAGE>


asset value per share. Additionally, shareholders may exchange their Class C
shares of a Portfolio for Class II shares of the other Portfolio, other
portfolios of the Corporation or other SunAmerica Mutual Funds.


         Before making an exchange, a shareholder should obtain and review the
prospectus of the fund whose shares are being acquired. All exchanges are
subject to applicable minimum initial or subsequent investment requirements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, shareholders may elect to make periodic exchanges
on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual basis through the Systematic
Exchange Program. Through this program, the minimum exchange amount is $50 and
there is no fee for exchanges made. All exchanges can be effected only if the
shares to be acquired are qualified for sale in the state in which the
shareholder resides. Exchanges of shares generally will constitute a taxable
transaction except for IRAs, Keogh Plans and other qualified or tax-exempt
accounts. The exchange privilege may be terminated or modified upon 60 days'
written notice. Further information about the exchange privilege may be obtained
by calling Shareholder/Dealer Services at (800) 858-8850, extension 5125.

         If a shareholder acquires Class A shares through an exchange from
another SunAmerica Mutual Fund where the original purchase of such fund's Class
A shares was not subject to an initial sales charge because the purchase was in
excess of $1 million, such shareholder will remain subject to the CDSC, if any,
as described in the Prospectus applicable to such redemptions. In such event,
the period for which the original shares were held prior to the exchange will be
"tacked" with the holding period of the shares acquired in the exchange for
purposes of determining whether the CDSC is applicable upon a redemption of any
of such shares.

         A shareholder who acquires Class B, Class C or Class II shares through
an exchange from another SunAmerica Mutual Fund will retain liability for any
deferred sales charge outstanding on the date of the exchange. In such event,
the period for which the original shares were held prior to the exchange will be
"tacked" with the holding period of the shares acquired in the exchange for
purposes of determining what, if any, CDSC is applicable upon a redemption of
any of such shares and the timing of conversion of Class B shares to Class A. A
shareholder's CDSC schedule will not change if such shareholder exchanges Class
C or Class II shares purchased prior to December 1, 1998 for Class II shares
(which currently have a longer CDSC schedule).


         Because excessive trading (including short-term "market timing"
trading) can hurt a Portfolio's performance, each Portfolio may refuse any
exchange sell order (1) if it appears to be a market timing transaction
involving a significant portion of a Portfolio's assets or (2) from any
shareholder account if previous use of the exchange privilege is considered
excessive. Accounts under common ownership or control, including, but not
limited to, those with the same taxpayer identification number and those
administered so as to redeem or purchase shares based upon certain predetermined
market indications, will be considered one account for this purpose.

         In addition, a Portfolio reserves the right to refuse any exchange
purchase order if, in the judgment of the Adviser, the Portfolio would be unable
to invest effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies
or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected. A shareholder's purchase
exchange may be restricted or refused if the Portfolio receives or anticipates
simultaneous orders affecting significant portions of the Portfolio's assets. In
particular, a pattern of exchanges that coincide with a "market timing" strategy
may be disruptive to the Portfolio and may therefore be refused.


                        DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE


         The Corporation is open for business on any day the NYSE is open for
regular trading. Shares are valued each day as of the close of regular trading
on the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). Each Portfolio



                                      B-44
<PAGE>



calculates the net asset value of each class of its shares separately by
dividing the total value of each class's net assets by the shares outstanding of
such class. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are
valued 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.

         Stocks are valued based upon closing sales prices reported on
recognized securities exchanges or, for listed securities having no sales
reported and for unlisted securities, upon last reported bid prices.
Non-convertible bonds, debentures, other long-term debt securities and
short-term securities with original or remaining maturities in excess of 60
days, are normally valued at prices obtained for the day of valuation from a
bond pricing service of a major dealer in bonds, when such prices are available;
however, in circumstances in which the Adviser deems it appropriate to do so, an
over-the-counter or exchange quotation at the mean of representative bid or
asked prices may be used. Securities traded primarily on securities exchanges
outside the United States are valued at the last sale price on such exchanges on
the day of valuation, or if there is no sale on the day of valuation, at the
last-reported bid price. If a security's price is available from more than one
foreign exchange, the Portfolio uses the exchange that is the primary market for
the security. Short-term securities with 60 days or less to maturity are
amortized to maturity based on their cost to the Corporation if acquired within
60 days of maturity or, if already held by the Corporation on the 60th day, are
amortized to maturity based on the value determined on the 61st day. Options
traded on national securities exchanges are valued as of the close of the
exchange on which they are traded. Futures and options traded on commodities
exchanges are valued at their last sale price as of the close of such exchange.
Other securities are valued on the basis of last sale or bid price (if a last
sale price is not available) in what is, in the opinion of the Adviser, the
broadest and most representative market, that may be either a securities
exchange or the over-the-counter market. Where quotations are not readily
available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith in
accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. The fair value of
all other assets is added to the value of securities to arrive at the respective
Portfolio's total assets.

         A Portfolio's liabilities, including proper accruals of expense items,
are deducted from total assets.


                                PERFORMANCE DATA


         Each Portfolio may advertise performance data that reflects various
measures of total return and each Portfolio may advertise data that reflects
yield. An explanation of the data presented and the methods of computation that
will be used are as follows.

         A Portfolio's performance may be compared to the historical returns of
various investments, performance indices of those investments or economic
indicators, including, but not limited to, stocks, bonds, certificates of
deposit, money market funds and U.S. Treasury Bills. Certain of these
alternative investments may offer fixed rates of return and guaranteed principal
and may be insured.


         Average annual total return is determined separately for Class A, Class
B, Class C and Class II shares in accordance with a formula specified by the
SEC. Average annual total return is computed by finding the average annual
compounded rates of return for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods or for the lesser
included periods of effectiveness. The formula used is as follows:

                                 P(1 + T)N = ERV

                                      B-46
<PAGE>


               P = a hypothetical initial purchase payment of $1,000
               T = average annual total return


               n = number of years
               ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment
               made at the beginning of the 1-, 5-, or 10- year periods at the
               end of the 1-, 5-, or 10-year periods (or fractional portion
               thereof).


        The above formula assumes that:


               (a)  The maximum sales load (i.e., either the front-end sales
                    load in the case of the Class A or Class II shares or the
                    deferred sales load that would be applicable to a complete
                    redemption of the investment at the end of the

                    specified period in the case of the Class B, Class C or
                    Class II shares) is deducted from the initial $1,000
                    purchase payment;

               (b)  All dividends and distributions are reinvested at net asset
                    value; and

               (c)  Complete redemption occurs at the end of the 1-, 5-, or 10-
                    year periods or fractional portion thereof with all
                    nonrecurring charges deducted accordingly.


         The Focus Portfolio's average annual total return since inception and
for the 1 year period ended October 31, 1999 is as follows:

</TABLE>
- -------------------
1 From date of inception of June 1, 1998.


         Each Portfolio may advertise cumulative, rather than average return,
for each class of its shares for periods of time other than the 1-, 5-, and
10-year periods or fractions thereof, as discussed above. Such return data will
be computed in the same manner as that of average annual total return, except
that the actual cumulative return will be computed.


COMPARISONS


         Each Portfolio may compare its total return or yield to similar
measures as calculated by various publications, services, indices, or averages.
Such comparisons are made to assist in evaluating an investment in a Portfolio.

                         the NYSE, American Stock Exchange and National

                         by market capitalizations.

                 cc)     Russell Midcap Growth Index -- contains those Russell
                         Midcap securities with a greater-than-average growth
                         orientation. The stocks are also members of the Russell
                         1000 Growth Index, the securities in which tend to
                         exhibit higher price-to-book and price earnings ratios,
                         lower dividend yields and higher forecasted growth
                         values than the Value universe.

         In assessing such comparisons of performance, an investor should keep
in mind that the composition of the investments in the reported indices and
averages is not identical to a Portfolio's portfolio, that the averages are
generally unmanaged and that the items included in the calculations of such
averages may not be identical to the formula used by a Portfolio to calculate
its figures. Specifically, a Portfolio may compare its performance to that of
certain indices that include securities with government guarantees. However, a
Portfolio's shares do not contain any such guarantees. In addition, there can be
no assurance that a Portfolio will continue its performance as compared to such
other standards.

                       DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES


DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. Each Portfolio intends to distribute to the
registered holders of its shares substantially all of its net investment income,
which includes dividends, interest and net short-term capital gains, if any, in
excess of any net long-term capital losses. Each Portfolio intends to distribute
any net capital gains from the sale of assets held for more than 12 months in
excess of any net short-term capital losses. The current policy of each
Portfolio is to pay investment income dividends, if any, at least annually.

Each Portfolio intends to distribute net capital gains, if any, annually. In
determining amounts of capital gains to be distributed, any capital loss
carry-forwards from prior years will be offset against capital gains.


        Distributions will be paid in additional Portfolio shares based on the
net asset value at the close of business on the ex-dividend or reinvestment
date, unless the dividends total in excess of $10.00 per distribution period and
the shareholder notifies the Portfolio at least five business days prior to the
payment date to receive such distributions in cash.

        If a shareholder has elected to receive dividends and/or capital gain
distributions in cash, and the postal or other delivery service is unable to
deliver checks to the shareholder's address of record, no interest will accrue
on amounts represented by uncashed dividend or distribution checks.


TAXES. Each Portfolio intends to qualify and elect to be taxed as a regulated
investment company under Subchapter M of the Code for each taxable year. In
order to be qualified as a regulated investment company, each Portfolio
generally must, among other things, (a) derive at least 90% of its gross income
from the sales or other disposition of securities, dividends, interest, proceeds
from loans of stock or securities and certain other related income; and (b)
diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each fiscal quarter, (i) 50% of
the market value of each Portfolio's assets is represented by cash, government
securities, securities of other regulated investment companies and other
securities limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount no greater than
5% of each Portfolio's assets and not greater than 10% of the outstanding voting
securities of such issuer, and (ii) not more than 25% of the value of its assets
is invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than government
securities or the securities of other regulated investment companies).

        As a regulated investment company, each Portfolio will not be subject to
U.S. Federal income tax on its income and capital gains which it distributes as
dividends or capital gains distributions to shareholders provided that it
distributes to shareholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable
income for the taxable year. Each Portfolio intends to distribute sufficient
income to meet this qualification requirement.

        Under the Code, amounts not distributed on a timely basis in accordance
with a calendar year distribution requirement are subject to a nondeductible 4%
excise tax. To avoid the tax, each Portfolio must distribute during each
calendar year (1) at least 98% of its ordinary income (not taking into account
any capital gains or losses) for the calendar year, (2) at least 98% of its
capital gains in excess of its capital losses for the 12-month period ending on
October 31 of the calendar year, and (3) all ordinary income and net capital
gains for the previous years that were not distributed during such years. To
avoid application of the excise tax, each Portfolio intends to make
distributions in accordance with the calendar year distribution requirement. A
distribution will be treated as paid during the calendar year if actually paid
during such year. Additionally, a distribution will be treated as paid on
December 31 of a calender year if it is declared by a Portfolio in October,
November or December of such year, payable to shareholders of record on a date
in such month and paid by such Portfolio during January of the following year.
Any such distributions paid during January of the following year will be taxable
to shareholders as of such December 31, rather than the date on which the
distributions are received.

                                      B-51
<PAGE>


        Distributions of net investment income and short-term capital gains are
taxable to the shareholder as ordinary dividend income regardless of whether the
shareholder receives such distributions in additional shares or in cash. The
portion of such dividends received from each Portfolio that will be eligible for
the dividends received deduction for corporations will be determined on the
basis of the amount of each Portfolio's gross income, exclusive of capital gains
from sales of stock or securities, which is derived as dividends from domestic
corporations, other than certain tax-exempt corporations and certain real estate
investment trusts, and will be designated as such in a written notice to
shareholders mailed not later than 60 days after the end of each fiscal year.
Distributions of net capital gains (i.e., the excess of net capital gains from
the sale of assets held for more than 12 months over net short-term capital
losses, and including such gains from certain transactions in futures and
options), if any, are taxable as capital gains to the shareholders, whether or
not reinvested and regardless of the length of time a shareholder has owned his
or her shares. The maximum capital gains rate for individuals is 20% with
respect to assets held for more than 12 months. The maximum capital gains rate
for corporate shareholders currently is the same as the maximum tax rate for
ordinary income.

        Upon a sale or exchange of its shares, a shareholder will realize a
taxable gain or loss depending on its basis in the shares. Such gain or loss
will be treated as capital gain or loss if the shares are capital assets in the
shareholder's hands. In the case of an individual, any such capital gain will be
treated as short-term capital gain, taxable at the same rates as ordinary income
if the shares were held for not more than 12 months and long-term capital gain
taxable at the maximum rate of 20% if such shares were held for more than 12
months. In the case of a corporation, any such capital gain will be treated as
long-term capital gain, taxable at the same rates as ordinary income, if such
shares were held for more than 12 months. Any such loss will be treated as
long-term capital loss if such shares were held for more than 12 months. A loss
recognized on the sale or exchange of shares held for six months or less,
however, will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of any
long-term capital gains distribution with respect to such shares.

        Generally, any loss realized on a sale or exchange of shares of a
Portfolio will be disallowed if other shares of the Portfolio are acquired
(whether through the automatic reinvestment of dividends or otherwise) within a
61-day period beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the date that
the shares are disposed of. In such a case, the basis of the shares acquired
will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss.


        Under certain circumstances (such as the exercise of an exchange
privilege), the tax effect of sales load charges imposed on the purchase of
shares in a regulated investment company is deferred if the shareholder does not
hold the shares for at least 90 days.


        Income received by a Portfolio from sources within foreign countries may
be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by such countries. Income tax
treaties between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate
such taxes. It is impossible to determine in advance the effective rate of
foreign tax to which a Portfolio will be subject, since the amount of that
Portfolio's assets to be invested in various countries is not known. If more
than 50% in value of a Portfolio's total assets at the close of its taxable year
consists of securities of foreign corporations, the Portfolio will be eligible,
and intends, to file an election with the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to
which shareholders of the Portfolio will be required to include their
proportionate share of such foreign taxes in their U.S. income tax returns as
gross income, treat such proportionate share as taxes paid by them, and deduct
such proportionate share in computing their taxable incomes or, alternatively,
subject to certain limitations and the Portfolio and the shareholders satisfying
certain holding period requirements, use them as foreign tax credits against
their U.S. income taxes. No deductions for foreign taxes, however, may be
claimed by non-corporate shareholders who do not itemize deductions. Of course,
certain retirement accounts which are not subject to tax cannot claim foreign
tax credits on investments in foreign securities held in the Portfolio. A
shareholder that

                                      B-52

<PAGE>


is a nonresident alien individual or a foreign corporation may be subject to
U.S. withholding tax on the income resulting from the Portfolio's election
described in this paragraph but may not be able to claim a credit or deduction
against such U.S. tax for the foreign taxes treated as having been paid by such
shareholder. The Portfolios do not currently anticipate investing in such a
manner so as to qualify for this election.

        Under the Code, gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in exchange
rates which occur between the time a Portfolio accrues interest or other
receivables or accrues expenses or other liabilities denominated in a foreign
currency and the time such Portfolio actually collects such receivables or pays
such liabilities are treated as ordinary income or ordinary loss. Similarly,
gains or losses on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign currency
gains or losses from futures contracts that are not "regulated futures
contracts" and from unlisted non-equity options, gains or losses from sale of
currencies or dispositions of debt securities denominated in a foreign currency
attributable to fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency between the
date of acquisition of the security and the date of disposition generally also
are treated as ordinary gain or loss. These gains, referred to under the Code as
"Section 988" gains or losses, increase or decrease the amount of each
Portfolio's investment company taxable income available to be distributed to its
shareholders as ordinary income. Additionally, if Code Section 988 losses exceed
other investment company taxable income during a taxable year, a Portfolio would
not be able to make any ordinary dividend distributions, and any distributions
made in the same taxable year may be recharacterized as a return of capital to
shareholders, thereby reducing the basis of each shareholder's Portfolio shares.
In certain cases, a Portfolio may be entitled to elect to treat foreign currency
gains on forward or futures contracts, or options thereon, as capital gains.

        The Code includes special rules applicable to the listed non-equity
options, regulated futures contracts, and options on futures contracts which a
Portfolio may write, purchase or sell. Such options and contracts are classified
as Section 1256 contracts under the Code. The character of gain or loss
resulting from the sale, disposition, closing out, expiration or other
termination of Section 1256 contracts, except forward foreign currency exchange
contracts, is generally treated as long-term capital gain or loss to the extent
of 60% thereof and short-term capital gain or loss to the extent of 40% thereof
("60/40 gain or loss"). Such contracts, when held by a Portfolio at the end of a
fiscal year, generally are required to be treated as sold at market value on the
last day of such fiscal year for Federal income tax purposes
("marked-to-market"). Over-the-counter options are not classified as Section
1256 contracts and are not subject to the marked-to-market rule or to 60/40 gain
or loss treatment. Any gains or losses recognized by a Portfolio from
transactions in over-the-counter options generally constitute short-term capital
gains or losses. When call options written, or put options purchased, by a
Portfolio are exercised, the gain or loss realized on the sale of the underlying
securities may be either short-term or long-term, depending on the holding
period of the securities. In determining the amount of gain or loss, the sales
proceeds are reduced by the premium paid for the puts or increased by the
premium received for calls.

        A substantial portion of each Portfolio's transactions in options,
futures contracts and options on futures contracts, particularly its hedging
transactions, may constitute "straddles" which are defined in the Code as
offsetting positions with respect to personal property. A straddle consisting of
a listed option, futures contract, or option on a futures contract and of U.S.
Government securities would constitute a "mixed straddle" under the Code. The
Code generally provides with respect to straddles (i) "loss deferral" rules
which may postpone recognition for tax purposes of losses from certain closing
purchase transactions or other dispositions of a position in the straddle to the
extent of unrealized gains in the offsetting position, (ii) "wash sale" rules
which may postpone recognition for tax purposes of losses where a position is
sold and a new offsetting position is acquired within a prescribed period, (iii)
"short sale" rules which may terminate the holding period of securities owned by
a Portfolio when offsetting positions are established and which may convert
certain losses from short-term to long-term, and (iv) "conversion transaction"
rules which recharacterize capital gains as ordinary income. The Code provides
that certain elections may be made



                                      B-53
<PAGE>



for mixed straddles that can alter the character of the capital gain or loss
recognized upon disposition of positions which form part of a straddle. Certain
other elections also are provided in the Code; no determination has been reached
to make any of these elections.

        Code Section 1259 requires the recognition of gain (but not loss) if a
Portfolio makes a "constructive sale" of an appreciated financial position
(e.g., stock). A Portfolio generally will be considered to make a constructive
sale of an appreciated financial position if it sells the same or substantially
identical property short, enters into a futures or forward contract to deliver
the same or substantially identical property, or enters into certain other
similar transactions.

        Each Portfolio may purchase debt securities (such as zero-coupon or
pay-in-kind securities) that contain original issue discount. Original issue
discount that accrues in a taxable year is treated as earned by a Portfolio and
therefore is subject to the distribution requirements of the Code. Because the
original issue discount earned by the Portfolio in a taxable year may not be
represented by cash income, the Portfolio may have to dispose of other
securities and use the proceeds to make distributions to shareholders.

        A Portfolio may be required to backup withhold U.S. Federal income tax
at the rate of 31% of all taxable distributions payable to shareholders who fail
to provide their correct taxpayer identification number or fail to make required
certifications, or who have been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that
they are subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional
tax. Any amounts withheld may be credited against a shareholder's U.S. Federal
income tax liability. Any distributions of net investment income or short-term
capital gains made to a foreign shareholder will be subject to U.S. withholding
tax of 30% (or a lower treaty rate if applicable to such shareholder).

        The foregoing is a general and abbreviated summary of the applicable
income tax provisions of the Code and Treasury regulations currently in effect.
Shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding specific
questions as to Federal, state and local taxes. In addition, foreign investors
should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the particular tax
consequences to them of an investment in each Portfolio. Qualification as a
regulated investment company under the Code for tax purposes does not entail
government supervision of management and investment policies.


                                RETIREMENT PLANS


        Shares of each Portfolio are eligible to be purchased in conjunction
with various types of qualified retirement plans. The summary below is only a
brief description of the federal income tax laws for each plan and does not
purport to be complete. Further information or an application to invest in
shares of a Portfolio by establishing any of the retirement plans described
below may be obtained by calling Retirement Plans at (800) 858-8850. However, it
is recommended that a shareholder considering any retirement plan consult a tax
adviser before participating.

PENSION AND PROFIT-SHARING PLANS. Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code permit
business employers and certain associations to establish pension and profit
sharing plans for employees. Shares of a Portfolio may be purchased by those who
would have been covered under the rules governing old H.R. 10 (Keogh) Plans, as
well as by corporate plans. Each business retirement plan provides tax
advantages for owners and participants. Contributions made by the employer are
tax-deductible, and participants do not pay taxes on contributions or earnings
until withdrawn.

                                      B-54

<PAGE>


TAX-SHELTERED CUSTODIAL ACCOUNTS. Section 403(b)(7) of the Code permits public
school employees and employees of certain types of charitable, educational and
scientific organizations specified in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code, to purchase
shares of a Portfolio and, subject to certain limitations, exclude the amount of
purchase payments from gross income for tax purposes.


INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS (IRA). Section 408 of the Code permits eligible
individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program, including
Simplified Employee Pension Plans, commonly referred to as SEP-IRA. Section 408A
of the Code treats Roth IRAs as IRAs subject to certain special rules applicable
thereto. IRAs are subject to limitations with respect to the amount that may be
contributed, the eligibility of individuals to make contributions, the amount if
any, entitled to be contributed on a deductible basis, and the time in which
distributions would be allowed to commence. In addition, certain distributions
from some other types of retirement plans may be placed on a tax-deferred basis
in an IRA.

SALARY REDUCTION SIMPLIFIED EMPLOYEE PENSION (SARSEP). This plan was introduced
by a provision of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 as a unique way for small employers
to provide the benefit of retirement planning for their employees. Contributions
are deducted from the employee's paycheck before tax deductions and are
deposited into an IRA by the employer. These contributions are not included in
the employee's income and therefore are not reported or deducted on his or her
tax return.

SAVINGS INCENTIVE MATCH PLAN FOR EMPLOYEES ("SIMPLE IRA"). This plan was
introduced by a provision of the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 to
provide small employers with a simplified tax-favored retirement plan.
Contributions are deducted from the employee's paycheck before taxes and are
deposited into a SIMPLE IRA by the employer, who must make either matching
contributions or non-elective contributions. Contributions are tax-deductible
for the employer and participants do not pay taxes on contributions on earnings
until they are withdrawn.

ROTH IRA. This plan, introduced by Section 302 of the Taxpayer Relief Act of
1997, generally permits individuals with adjusted gross income of up to $95,000,
and married couples with joint adjusted gross income of up to $150,000, to
contribute to a "Roth IRA." Contributions are not tax-deductible, but
distribution of assets (contributions and earnings) held in the account for at
least five years may be distributed tax-free under certain qualifying
conditions.

EDUCATION IRA. Established by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, under Section 530
of the Code, this plan permits individuals to contribute to an IRA on behalf of
any child under the age of 18. Contributions are not tax-deductible but
distributions are tax-free if used for qualified educational expenses.

                              DESCRIPTION OF SHARES

        Ownership of the Corporation is represented by shares of common stock.
The total number of shares that the Corporation has authority to issue is one
billion (1,000,000,000) shares of common stock (par value $0.0001 per share),
amounting in aggregate par value to one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00).


        Currently, shares of eleven Portfolios of the Corporation have been
authorized pursuant to the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation ("Articles"):
the Large-Cap Growth Portfolio, the Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio, the Aggressive
Growth Portfolio, the Large-Cap Value Portfolio, the Value Portfolio, the
Small-Cap Value Portfolio, the Focus Portfolio, the Focus Growth and Income
Portfolio, the Focused TechNet Portfolio, the Focus Value

Portfolio and the International Equity Portfolio. The Large-Cap Growth
Portfolio, the Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio, the Focus Growth and Income Portfolio
and the Focus Value PORTFOLIO are divided into three classes of shares,
designated as Class A, Class B and Class II. The Aggressive Growth Portfolio,
Large-Cap Value Portfolio, Value Portfolio, Small-Cap Value Portfolio, and
International Equity Portfolio are divided into four classes of shares,
designated as Class A, Class B, Class II and Class Z. The Focused TechNet
Portfolio is divided into four classes of shares, designated as Class A, Class
B, Class C and Class II. The Focus Portfolio is divided into five classes of
shares, designated as Class A, Class B, Class C, Class II and Class Z. The
Directors may authorize the creation of additional Portfolios of shares so as to
be able to offer to investors additional investment portfolios within the
Corporation that would operate independently from the Corporation's present
Portfolios, or to distinguish among shareholders, as may be necessary, to comply
with future regulations or other unforeseen circumstances. Each Portfolio of the
Corporation's shares represents the interests of the shareholders of that
Portfolio in a particular portfolio of Corporation assets. In addition, the
Directors may authorize the creation of additional classes of shares in the
future, which may have fee structures different from those of existing classes
and/or may be offered only to certain qualified investors.


        Shareholders are entitled to a full vote for each full share held. The
Directors have terms of unlimited duration (subject to certain removal
procedures) and have the power to alter the number of Directors, and appoint
their own successors, provided that at all times at least a majority of the
Directors have been elected by shareholders. The voting rights of shareholders
are not cumulative, so that holders of more than 50% of the shares voting can,
if they choose, elect all Directors being elected, while the holders of the
remaining shares would be unable to elect any Directors. Although the
Corporation need not hold annual meetings of shareholders, the Directors may
call special meetings of shareholders for action by shareholder vote as may be
required by the 1940 Act. Also, a shareholders meeting must be called, if so
requested in writing by the holders of record of 10% or more of the outstanding
shares of the Corporation. In addition, the Directors may be removed by the
action of the holders of record of two-thirds or more of the outstanding shares.
All Portfolios of shares will vote with respect to certain matters, such as
election of Directors. When all Portfolios are not affected by a matter to be
voted upon, such as approval of investment advisory agreements or changes in the
Portfolio's policies, only shareholders of the Portfolios affected by the matter
may be entitled to vote.


        The classes of shares of a given Portfolio are identical in all
respects, except that (i) each class may bear differing amounts of certain
class-specific expenses, (ii) Class A shares are subject to an initial sales
charge, a distribution fee and an ongoing account maintenance and service fee,
(iii) Class B and Class C shares are subject to a CDSC, a distribution fee and
an ongoing account maintenance and service fee, (iv) Class B shares convert
automatically to Class A shares on the first business day of the month seven
years after the purchase of such Class B shares, (v) Class II shares are subject
to an initial sales charge, a distribution fee, an ongoing account maintenance
and service fee and a CDSC, (vi) each class has voting rights on matters that
pertain to the Rule 12b-1 plan adopted with respect to such class, except that
under certain circumstances, the holders of Class B shares may be entitled to
vote on material changes to the Class A Rule 12b-1 plan, (vii) Class Z shares
are not subject to any sales charge or any distribution, account maintenance or
service fee, (viii) each class of shares will be exchangeable into the same
class of shares of another Portfolio, Corporate Portfolio or other SunAmerica
Funds that offer that class, and (ix) Class C shares will be also exchangeable
into Class II shares of another Portfolio, Corporate Portfolio or other
SunAmerica Funds that offer Class II. All shares of the Corporation issued and
outstanding and all shares offered by the Prospectus when issued, are fully paid
and non-assessable. Shares have no preemptive or other subscription rights and
are freely transferable on the books of the Corporation. In addition, shares
have no conversion rights, except as described above.

COMPUTATION OF OFFERING PRICE PER SHARE.


        The following is the offering price calculation for each Class of shares
of the Portfolios. With respect to the Focus Portfolio, the Class A, Class B,
Class C, Class II and Class Z calculations are based on the value of the Focus
Portfolio's net assets and number of shares outstanding on October 31, 1999.
With respect to the Focused TechNet Portfolio, the Class A, Class B, Class C and
Class II calculations are based on the estimated value of the Focused TechNet
Portfolio's net assets and number of shares outstanding on the date such shares
are first offered for sale to public investors.

                   CORPORATE BOND AND COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S CORPORATE RATINGS

            Aaa      Bonds rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They
                     carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are
                     generally referred to as "gilt edge." Interest payments are
                     protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin
                     and principal is secure. While the various protective
                     elements are likely to change, such changes as can be
                     visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally
                     strong position of such issues.

            Aa       Bonds rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all
                     standards. Together with the Aaa group they comprise what
                     are generally known as high grade bonds. They are rated
                     lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may
                     not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of
                     protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there
                     may be other elements present that make the long-term risks
                     appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.

            A        Bonds rated A possess many favorable investment
                     attributes and are considered as upper medium grade
                     obligations. Factors giving security to principal and
                     interest are considered adequate, but elements may be
                     present that suggest a susceptibility to impairment
                     sometime in the future.

            Baa      Bonds rated Baa are considered as medium grade obligations;
                     i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured.
                     Interest payments and principal security appear adequate
                     for the present but certain protective elements may be
                     lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any
                     great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding
                     investment characteristics and in fact have speculative
                     characteristics as well.

            Ba       Bonds rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements;
                     their future cannot be considered as well assured. Often
                     the protection of interest and principal payments may be
                     very moderate, and therefore not well safeguarded during
                     both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of
                     position characterizes bonds in this class.

            B        Bonds rated B generally lack characteristics of desirable
                     investments. Assurance of interest and principal payments
                     or of maintenance of other terms of the contract over any
                     long period of time may be small.

            Caa      Bonds rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues may be in
                     default or there may be present elements of danger with
                     respect to principal or interest.

<PAGE>

            Ca       Bonds rated Ca represent obligations that are speculative
                     in a high degree. Such issues are often in default or have
                     other marked shortcomings.

            C        Bonds rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds, and
                     issues so rated can be regarded as having extremely poor
                     prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing.

            Note: Moody's may apply numerical modifiers 1, 2 and 3 in each
generic rating classification from Aa through B in its corporate bond rating
system. The modifier 1 indicates that the security ranks in the higher end of
its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and
the modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of the generic
rating category.

DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

            The term "commercial paper" as used by Moody's means promissory
obligations not having an original maturity in excess of nine months. Moody's
makes no representations as to whether such commercial paper is by any other
definition "commercial paper" or is exempt from registration under the
Securities Act.

            Moody's commercial paper ratings are opinions of the ability of
issuers to repay punctually promissory obligations not having an original
maturity in excess of nine months. Moody's makes no representation that such
obligations are exempt from registration under the Securities Act, nor does it
represent that any specific note is a valid obligation of a rated issuer or
issued in conformity with any applicable law. Moody's employs the following
three designations, all judged to be investment grade, to indicate the relative
repayment capacity of rated issuers:

            Issuers rated PRIME-1 (or related supporting institutions) have a
superior capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. PRIME-1
repayment capacity will normally be evidenced by the following characteristics:

             --  Leading market positions in well established industries
             --  High rates of return on funds employed
             --  Conservative capitalization structures with moderate
                 reliance on debt and ample asset protection
             --  Broad margins in earnings coverage of fixed financial charges
                 and high internal cash generation
             --  Well established access to a range of financial markets and
                 assured sources of alternate liquidity.

        Issuers rated PRIME-2 (or related supporting institutions) have a strong
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. This will normally
be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser degree.
Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject to
variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more
affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

        Issuers rated PRIME-3 (or related supporting institutions) have an
acceptable capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. The
effect of industry characteristics and market composition may be more
pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result in changes in
level of debt protection measurements and the requirement for relatively high
financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is maintained.

        Issuers rated NOT PRIME do not fall within any of the Prime rating
categories.

                                   Appendix-2
<PAGE>

        If an issuer represents to Moody's that its commercial paper obligations
are supported by the credit of another entity or entities, then the name or
names of such supporting entity or entities are listed within parentheses
beneath the name of the issuer, or there is a footnote referring the reader to
another page for the name or names of the supporting entity or entities. In
assigning ratings to such issuers, Moody's evaluates the financial strength of
the indicated affiliated corporations, commercial banks, insurance companies,
foreign governments or other entities, but only as one factor in the total
rating assessment. Moody's makes no representation and gives no opinion on the
legal validity or enforceability of any support arrangement. You are cautioned
to review with your counsel any questions regarding particular support
arrangements.

        Among the factors considered by Moody's in assigning ratings are the
following: (1) evaluation of the management of the issuer; (2) economic
evaluation of the issuer's industry or industries and an appraisal of
speculative type risks that may be inherent in certain areas; (3) evaluation of
the issuer's products in relation to competition and customer acceptance; (4)
liquidity; (5) amount and quality of long-term debt; (6) trend of earnings over
a period of ten years; (7) financial strength of a parent company and the
relationships that exist with the issuer; and (8) recognition by management of
obligations that may be present or may arise as a result of public interest
questions and preparations to meet such obligations.

DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S CORPORATE DEBT RATINGS

        A Standard & Poor's corporate or municipal rating is a current
assessment of the creditworthiness of an obligor with respect to a specific
obligation. This assessment may take into consideration obligors such as
guarantors, insurers, or lessees.

        The debt rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold a
security, inasmuch as it does not comment as to market price or suitability for
a particular investor.

        The ratings are based on current information furnished by the issuer or
obtained by Standard & Poor's from other sources it considers reliable. Standard
& Poor's does not perform an audit in connection with any rating and may, on
occasion, rely on unaudited financial information. The ratings may be changed,
suspended or withdrawn as a result of changes in, or unavailability of, such
information, or for other reasons.

        The ratings are based, in varying degrees, on the following
considerations: (1) likelihood of default capacity and willingness of the
obligor as to the timely payment of interest and repayment of principal in
accordance with the terms of the obligation; (2) nature of and provisions of the
obligation; and (3) protection afforded by, and relative position of, the
obligation in the event of bankruptcy, reorganization or other arrangement under
the laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors' rights.

            AAA      Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard
                     & Poor's. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is
                     extremely strong.

            AA       Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest
                     and repay principal and differs from the highest-rated
                     issues only in small degree.

            A        Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and
                     repay principal although it is somewhat more susceptible to
                     the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and
                     economic conditions than debt in higher-rated categories.

                                   Appendix-3
<PAGE>

            BBB      Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity
                     to pay interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally
                     exhibits adequate protection parameters, adverse economic
                     conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to
                     lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay
                     principal for debt in this category than for debt in
                     higher-rated categories.

                     Debt rated BB, B, CCC, CC and C are regarded as having
                     predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to
                     capacity to pay interest and repay principal. BB indicates
                     the least degree of speculation and C the highest degree of
                     speculation. While such debt will likely have some quality
                     and protective characteristics, these are outweighed by
                     large uncertainties or major risk exposure to adverse
                     conditions.

            BB       Debt rated BB has less near-term vulnerability to default
                     than other speculative grade debt. However, it faces major
                     ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business,
                     financial or economic conditions that could lead to
                     inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal
                     payment. The BB rating category is also used for debt
                     subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or
                     implied BBB- rating.

            B        Debt rated B has a greater vulnerability to default but
                     presently has the capacity to meet interest payments and
                     principal repayments. Adverse business, financial or
                     economic conditions would likely impair capacity or
                     willingness to pay interest and repay principal. The B
                     rating category is also used for debt subordinated to
                     senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied BB or BB-
                     rating.

            CCC      Debt rated CCC has a current identifiable vulnerability to
                     default, and is dependent upon favorable business,
                     financial and economic conditions to meet timely payments
                     of interest and repayments of principal. In the event of
                     adverse business, financial or economic conditions, it is
                     not likely to have the capacity to pay interest and repay
                     principal. The CCC rating category is also used for debt
                     subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or
                     implied B or B- rating.

            CC       The rating CC is typically applied to debt subordinated to
                     senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied CCC
                     rating.

            C        The rating C is typically applied to debt subordinated to
                     senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied CCC-debt
                     rating. The C rating may be used to cover a situation where
                     a bankruptcy petition has been filed but debt service
                     payments are continued.

            CI       The rating CI is reserved for income bonds on which no
                     interest is being paid.

            D        Debt rated D is in default. The D rating is assigned on the
                     day an interest or principal payment is missed. The D
                     rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy
                     petition if debt service payments are jeopardized.

            Plus (+) or minus (-): The ratings of AA to CCC may be modified by
            the addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing
            within these ratings categories.

                                   Appendix-4

        Provisional ratings: The letter "p" indicates that the rating is
provisional. A provisional rating assumes the successful completion of the
project being financed by the debt being rated and indicates that payment of
debt service requirements is largely or entirely dependent upon the successful
and timely completion of the project. This rating, however, while addressing
credit quality subsequent to completion of the project, makes no comment on the
likelihood or risk of default upon failure of such completion. The investor
should exercise judgment with respect to such likelihood and risk.

            L        The letter "L" indicates that the rating pertains to the
                     principal amount of those bonds to the extent that the
                     underlying deposit collateral is insured by the Federal
                     Savings & Loan Insurance Corp. or the Federal Deposit
                     Insurance Corp. and interest is adequately collateralized.

            *        Continuance of the rating is contingent upon Standard &
                     Poor's receipt of an executed copy of the escrow agreement
                     or closing documentation confirming investments and cash
                     flows.

            NO       Indicates that no rating has been requested, that there is
                     insufficient information on which to base a rating or that
                     Standard & Poor's does not rate a particular type of
                     obligation as a matter of policy.

        Debt Obligations of Issuers outside the United States and its
territories are rated on the same basis as domestic corporate and municipal
issues. The ratings measure the credit-worthiness of the obligor but do not take
into account currency exchange and related uncertainties.

BOND INVESTMENT QUALITY STANDARDS: Under present commercial bank regulations
issued by the Comptroller of the Currency, bonds rated in the top four
categories ("AAA," "AA," "A," "BBB," commonly known as "investment grade"
ratings) are generally regarded as eligible for bank investment. In addition,
the laws of various states governing legal investments impose certain rating or
other standards for obligations eligible for investment by savings banks, trust
companies, insurance companies and fiduciaries generally.

DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS.

        A Standard & Poor's commercial paper rating is a current assessment of
the likelihood of timely payment of debt having an original maturity of not more
than 365 days. Ratings are graded into four categories, ranging from "A" for the
highest quality obligations to "D" for the lowest.

           A         Issues assigned this highest rating are regarded as having
                     the greatest capacity for timely payment. Issues in this
                     category are delineated with the numbers 1, 2 and 3 to
                     indicate the relative degree of safety.

           A-1       This designation indicates that the degree of safety
                     regarding timely payment is either overwhelming or very
                     strong. Those issues designated "A-1" that are determined
                     to possess overwhelming safety characteristics are denoted
                     with a plus (+) sign designation.

                                      B-60
<PAGE>

            A-2      Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation
                     is strong. However, the relative degree of safety is not as
                     high as for issues designated "A-1."

                                   Appendix-5

                                      B-61
<PAGE>

            A-3      Issues carrying this designation have a satisfactory
                     capacity for timely payment. They are, however, somewhat
                     more vulnerable to the adverse effect of changes in
                     circumstances than obligations carrying the higher
                     designations.

            B        Issues rated "B" are regarded as having only adequate
                     capacity for timely payment. However, such capacity may be
                     damaged by changing conditions or short-term adversities.

            C        This rating is assigned to short-term debt obligations with
                     a doubtful capacity for payment.

            D        This rating indicates that the issue is either in default
                     or is expected to be in default upon maturity.

        The commercial paper rating is not a recommendation to purchase or sell
a security. The ratings are based on current information furnished to Standard &
Poor's by the issuer or obtained from other sources it considers reliable. The
ratings may be changed, suspended, or withdrawn as a result of changes in or
unavailability of such information.

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").

                                      C-2
<PAGE>

        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 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.

              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.

I.   PURPOSE

     SunAmerica Asset Management Corp. has a fiduciary duty to Investment
     Company and investment advisory clients which requires each employee to act
     solely for the benefit of clients. This Code of Ethics (the "Code") has
     been adopted in accordance with Rule 17j-1(b) under the Investment Company
     Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"). Rule 17j-1 under the Act generally
     proscribes fraudulent or manipulative practices with respect to purchases
     or sales of securities held or to be acquired by investment companies, if
     effected by associated persons of such companies. The purpose of this Code
     is to provide regulations and procedures consistent with the Act, and Rule
     17j-1 thereunder, designed to give effect to the general prohibitions set
     forth in Rule 17j-1(a) as follows:

     A.   It shall be unlawful for any affiliated person of or principal
          underwriter for a registered investment company, or any affiliated
          person of an investment adviser of or principal underwriter for a
          registered investment company in connection with the purchase or sale,
          directly or indirectly, by such person of a security held or to be
          acquired, as defined in the Rule, by such registered investment
          company --

          1. To employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud such registered
             investment company;

          2. To make to such registered investment company any untrue statement
             of a material fact or omit to state to such registered investment
             company a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
             made, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not
             misleading;

          3. To engage in any act, practice, or course of business which
             operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon any such
             registered investment company; or

          4. To engage in any manipulative practice with respect to such
             registered investment company.

     Also, each employee has a duty to act in the best interest of the firm. In
     addition to the various laws and regulations covering our activities, it is
     clearly in our best interest as a professional investment advisory
     organization to avoid potential conflicts of interest or even the
     appearance of such conflict with respect to the conduct of our officers and
     employees. While it is not possible to anticipate all instances of
     potential conflict, the standard is clear.



II.  GENERAL PRINCIPLES
<PAGE>

     In light of our professional and legal responsibilities, we believe it is
     appropriate to restate and periodically distribute the firm's Code to all
     employees. Our aim is to be as flexible as possible in our organization and
     our internal procedures, while simultaneously protecting our organization
     and our clients from the damage that could arise from a situation involving
     a real or apparent conflict of interest. While it is not possible to
     specifically define and prescribe rules regarding all possible cases in
     which conflicts might arise, this Code is designed to set forth our policy
     regarding employee conduct in those situations in which conflicts are most
     likely to develop. As a general principle, it is imperative that those who
     work for or on behalf of an Investment Company, avoid any such situation
     that might comprise, or call into question, their exercise of fully
     independent judgement in the interests of shareholders. If you have any
     doubt as to the propriety of any activity, you should consult the General
     Counsel.

III. DEFINITIONS

     A.   "Adviser" means SunAmerica Asset Management Corp.

     B.   "Investment Company" means a company registered as such under the Act,

          an option to purchase or sell a security, the conversion of a

          time-to-time by the Adviser to receive and review reports of purchases
          and sales by Access Persons.

         you have indirect beneficial ownership, unless you have no direct or
         indirect influence or control over the account. Accounts involving
         family (including husband, wife, minor children or other dependent
         relatives), or accounts in which you have a beneficial interest (such
         as a trust of which you are an income or principal beneficiary) are
         included within the meaning of "indirect beneficial interest."

     with respect to such purchase or sale by registered investment companies
     managed by such Investment Sub-Adviser are hereby incorporated herein by
     reference as additional provisions of this Code of Ethics (to the extent
     such provisions are in addition to or more restrictive than the provision
     set forth in this Code) applicable to those officers, trustees, directors
     and advisory personnel of the Adviser or Investment Company who have direct
     responsibility of investments of the Investment Company, except that
     approval or disclosure required thereunder shall be obtained from or made
     to the officer designated in Section IX. A violation of an Investment
     Sub-Adviser's Code of Ethics shall constitute a violation of this Code.

V.   EXEMPTED TRANSACTIONS

     A.   Purchases or sales effected in any account over which the Access
          Person has no direct or indirect influence or control;

     B.   Purchases or sales of securities which are not eligible for purchase
          or sale by the Investment Company (e.g., SunAmerica Inc.);

     C.   Purchases or sales which are non-volitional on the part of either the
          Access Person or the Investment Company. Non-volitional transactions
          include gifts to you over which you have no control of the timing or
          transactions which result from corporate action applicable to all
          similar security holders (such as splits, tender offers, mergers,
          stock dividends, etc.);

     D.   Purchases which are part of an automatic dividend reinvestment plan;

     E.   Purchases effected upon the exercise of rights issued by an issuer PRO
          rata to all holders of a class of its securities, to the extent such
          rights were acquired from such issuer, and sales of such rights so
          acquired;

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

     F.   Purchases or sales approved by a majority vote of those trustees or
          directors having no interest in the transaction upon a showing of good
          cause. Good cause will be deemed to exist where unexpected hardship
          occasions the need for additional funds. A change in investment
          objectives will not be deemed "good cause;" and

     G.   Purchases or sales which receive the prior approval of the Review
          Officer because they are only remotely potentially harmful to the
          Investment Company because they would be very unlikely to affect a
          highly institutional market, or because they clearly are not related
          economically to the securities to be purchased, sold or held by the
          Investment Company.

     H.   The Review Officer can grant exemptions from the personal trading
          restrictions in this Code upon determining that the transaction for
          which an exemption is requested would not violate any policy embodied
          in this Code and that an exemption is appropriate to avoid an
          injustice to the employee in the particular factual situation
          presented. Factors to be considered may include: the size and holding
          period of the employee's position in the security, the market
          capitalization of the issuer, the liquidity of the security, the
          reason for the employee's requested transaction, the amount and timing
          of client trading in the same or a related security, and other
          relevant factors.

          Any employee wishing an exemption should submit a written request to
          the Review Officer setting forth the pertinent facts and reasons why
          the employee believes that the exemption should be granted. Employees
          are cautioned that exemptions are intended to be exceptions, and
          repetitive exemptive applications by an employee will not be well
          received.

VI.  RESTRICTIONS AND PROCEDURES ON PERSONAL SECURITIES
     TRANSACTIONS

     A.   PROHIBITED PURCHASES AND SALES - Except as otherwise provided in
          Section V hereof:

          1. No Access Person shall purchase or sell, directly or indirectly,
             any security in which he or she has, or by reason of such
             transaction acquires, any direct or indirect beneficial ownership
             and which to his or her actual knowledge at the time of such
             purchase or sale:

             (a)  is being considered for purchase or sale by an Investment
                  Company; or

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

             (b)  is being purchased or sold by an Investment Company.1

         2.  No Access Person shall reveal to any other person (except in the
             normal course of his or her duties on behalf of an Investment
             Company) any information regarding securities transactions by an
             Investment Company or consideration by an Investment Company or the
             Adviser of any such securities transaction.

         3.  No Access Person shall recommend any securities transaction by an
             Investment Company without having disclosed his or her interest, if
             any, in such securities or the issuer thereof, including without
             limitation (i) his or her direct or indirect beneficial ownership
             of any securities or such issuer, (ii) any contemplated transaction
             by such person in such securities, (iii) any position with such
             issuer or its affiliates and (iv) any present or proposed business
             relationship between such issuer or its affiliates, on the one
             hand, and such person or any party in which such person has a
             significant interest, on the other; provided, however, that in the
             event the interest of such Access Person in such securities or
             issuer is not material to his or her personal net worth and any
             contemplated transaction by such person in such securities cannot
             reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any
             such transaction by the company or on the market for the securities
             generally, such Access Person shall not be required to disclose his
             or her interest in the securities or issuer thereof in connection
             with any such recommendation.

     B.   INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGS: No Access Person shall acquire any
          securities in an initial public offering, in order to preclude any
          possibility of their profiting improperly from their positions on
          behalf of an Investment Company.

     C.   PRIVATE PLACEMENTS: No Advisory Person shall acquire any securities in
          a private placement without the prior approval of the Review Person.
          This prior approval should take into account, among other factors,
          whether the investment opportunity should be reserved for an
          Investment Company and its shareholders, and whether the opportunity
          is being offered to an individual by virtue of his or her position
          with the Investment Company. Advisory Persons who have been authorized
          to acquire securities in a private placement should disclose such
          private placement investment if he or she plays a material role in an
          Investment

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

   1           The Adviser, and any and all Access Persons or Advisory Persons
               thereof, shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge, for
               purposes hereof, of securities transactions effected for any
               company, series thereof, or component of such series, for which
               the Adviser is the investment adviser, but for which the
               portfolio management is performed by an entity which is not an
               affiliate of SunAmerica Inc.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

          Company's subsequent investment decision regarding the same issuer. In
          the foregoing circumstances, the Investment Company's decision to
          purchase securities of the issuer shall be subject to an independent
          review by Advisory Persons with no personal interest in such issuer.

     D.   BLACKOUT PERIODS: No Access Person shall execute a securities
          transaction, other than an exempted transaction, on a day during which
          any Investment Company in the complex has a pending "buy" or "sell"
          order in that same security and no Access Person shall execute such
          securities transaction until one trading day after such Investment
          Company order is executed or withdrawn. In addition, no portfolio
          manager shall purchase or sell a security within at least seven
          calendar days before and after an Investment Company that he or she
          manages trades in that security.

     E.   SHORT-TERM TRADING PROFITS: Subject to the other provisions of this
          Code, while there is no prohibition on short-term trading profits, the
          Review Officer will monitor quarterly reports and address abuses of
          short-term trading profits on a case-by-case basis.

     F.   GIFTS: No Access Person shall receive any gift or other thing of more
          than de minimis value ($100) from any person or entity that does
          business with or on behalf of the Investment Company.

     G.   SERVICE AS A DIRECTOR: No Access Person shall serve on the boards of
          directors of publicly traded companies, absent prior authorization
          based upon a determination that the board service would be consistent
          with the interests of the Investment Company and its shareholders. See
          "Other Conflicts of Interest - Outside Activities."

     H.   OTHER CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: Employees should also be aware that areas
          other than personal securities transactions or gifts and sensitive
          payments may involve conflicts of interest. The following should be
          regarded as examples of situations involving real or potential
          conflicts rather than a complete list of situations to avoid.

          1. "INSIDE INFORMATION" - Specific reference is made to the firm's
             policy of the use of "inside information" which applies to personal
             securities transactions as well as to client transactions.

          2. "USE OF INFORMATION" - Information acquired in connection with
             employment by the organization may not be used in any way which
             might be contrary to or in competition with the interests of
             clients. Employees

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

             are reminded that certain clients have specifically required their
             relationship with us to be treated confidentially.

         3.  "DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION" - Information regarding actual or
             contemplated investment decisions, research priorities or client
             interests should not be disclosed to persons outside our
             organization and in no way can be used for personal gain.

         4.  "OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES" - All outside relationships such as
             directorships or trusteeships of any kind or membership in
             investment organizations (e.g., an investment club) should be
             discussed with the President and/or General Counsel prior to the
             acceptance of such position.

             As a general matter, directorships in unaffiliated public companies
             or companies which may reasonably be expected to become public
             companies will not be authorized because of the potential for
             conflicts which may impede our freedom to act in the best interests
             of clients. Service with charitable organizations generally will be
             authorized, subject to considerations related to time required
             during working hours and use of proprietary information.

VII. DISINTERESTED DIRECTORS OR TRUSTEES

     A director or trustee of an Investment Company who is not an officer of
     such Investment Company or an officer, employee or director of the Adviser
     need only report a transaction in a security if the director or trustee, at
     the time of that transaction, knew or, in the ordinary course of fulfilling
     his official duties as a director or trustee of the Investment Company,
     should have known that, during the 15-day period immediately preceding the
     date of the transaction by the director or trustee, the security was under
     active consideration by the Investment Company.

VIII.COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES

     A.   PRECLEARANCE: All Advisory Persons are to "preclear" personal
          securities investments prior to execution through the firm's Head
          Trader, or such other person as is designated from time-to-time by the
          Review Officer. This includes bonds, stocks (including closed-end
          funds), convertibles, preferreds, options on securities, warrants,
          rights, etc. for domestic and foreign securities whether publicly
          traded or privately placed. In addition, any portfolio manager wishing
          to effect a personal securities transaction which might be viewed as
          contrary to a position held in any portfolio for which he or she
          serves as portfolio manager

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

          must preclear such transaction with the firm's Review Officer, in
          addition to the normal preclearance procedure. The only exceptions to
          this requirement are automatic dividend reinvestment plan
          acquisitions, financial futures and options on futures, automatic
          employee stock purchase plan acquisitions, transactions in open-end
          mutual funds, U.S. Government securities, commercial paper, or
          exempted transactions. Please note, however, that most of these
          transactions must be reported even though they do not have to be
          precleared. The Review Officer may require other persons to preclear
          personal securities transactions as he or she may deem necessary and
          appropriate for compliance with this Code. See the Section "IX" for
          reporting obligations.

     B.   RECORDS OF SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS: All Advisory Persons are to direct
          their brokers to supply to a designated compliance official, on a
          timely basis, duplicate copies of confirmations of all personal
          securities transactions and copies of periodic statements for all
          securities accounts.

     C.   POST-TRADE MONITORING: The Review Officer shall review all personal
          securities transactions by Access Persons to ensure that no conflict
          exists with Investment Company trades.

     D.   DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL HOLDINGS: Access Persons are required to
          disclose all personal securities holdings upon commencement of
          employment and thereafter on an annual basis.

     E.   CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH CODE OF ETHICS: All Access Persons
          are required to certify annually that they have read and understand
          the Code and recognize that they are subject thereto. Further, Access
          Persons are required to certify annually that they have complied with
          the requirements of the Code and that they have disclosed or reported
          all personal securities transactions required to be disclosed or
          reported pursuant to the requirements of the Code.

     F.   REVIEW BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR TRUSTEES: Management will prepare
          a report to the Board of Directors or Trustees (1) quarterly that
          identifies any violations requiring significant remedial action during
          the past quarter; and (2) annually that a) summarizes existing
          procedures concerning personal investing and any changes in the
          procedures made during the past year, and b) identifies any
          recommended changes in existing restrictions or procedures based upon
          the Investment Company's experience under the Code, evolving industry
          practices, or developments in applicable laws or regulations.

          The Board of Directors or Trustees will review the operations of this
          policy and make recommendations if necessary, as stated in Section "X"
          at least once a year.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

IX.  REPORTING

     The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that a record of all
     personal securities transactions be kept available for inspection, and that
     these records be maintained on at least a quarterly basis. To comply with
     these rules, it is necessary to have every Access Person file a quarterly
     report (on the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1) within 10 calendar days
     after the end of each calendar quarter2. Quarterly Report forms will be
     distributed to all employees on the last business day of each quarter.
     Completed forms should be sent to the Review Officer. The forms and
     transactions in all personal accounts will be reviewed each quarter on a
     confidential basis.

     The quarterly report must include the required information for all personal
     securities transactions as defined above, except transactions in open-end
     mutual funds, U.S. Government securities or commodities. Except as noted
     above, exempted transactions must also be reported and the nature of the
     transaction clearly specified in the report.

     Quarterly reports must be filed by all Access Persons even if there were no
     reportable transactions during the quarter. (Write "none" and return with
     your signature.)

     The report required by this section shall state: (i) the title and amount
     of the security involved; (ii) the date and nature of the transaction
     (i.e., purchase, sale or other acquisition or disposition); (iii) the price
     at which the transaction was effected; and (iv) the name of the broker,
     dealer or bank with or through whom the transaction was effected. A copy of
     the broker's confirmation may be submitted in lieu of the required report.

     The report may also contain a statement declaring that the reporting or
     recording of any transaction shall not be construed as an admission that
     the Access Person making the report has any direct or indirect Beneficial
     Ownership in the Security to which the report relates.

X.   AUDIT BY REVIEW OFFICER

     Adherence to the Code is considered a basic condition of employment with
     our organization. The Review Officer will monitor compliance with the Code
     and review such violations of the Code as may occur and determine what
     action or sanctions are appropriate in the event of a violation. The Review
     Officer will report, periodically and upon request, to the Boards of
     Directors or Trustees of the various Investment Companies for which the
     Adviser serves as investment adviser.

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

   2           Advisory Persons who are required to provide copies of
               confirmations and periodic statements pursuant to Section VIII.B
               hereof are only required to certify in such report that no other
               transactions were executed during the quarter.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

     Again, we emphasize the importance of Advisory Persons obtaining prior
     clearance of all personal securities transactions, filing the quarterly
     reports promptly and avoiding other situations which might involve even the
     appearance of a conflict of interest. Questions regarding interpretation of
     this policy or questions related to specific situations should be directed
     to the Review Officer.

XI.  SANCTIONS

     Upon discovering a violation of this Code, the Adviser may impose such
     sanctions as it deems appropriate, including, among other things, a letter
     of censure or suspension or termination of the employment of the violator.
     All material violations of this Code and any sanctions imposed with respect
     thereto shall be reported periodically to the Board of Directors or
     Trustees of the Investment Company with respect to whose securities the
     violation occurred.

XII. ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURE

     General disclosure concerning Access Persons engaging in personal
     securities transactions, restrictions and procedures as well as a statement
     from the Investment Company addressing any conflicts of interest that might
     arise has been incorporated into Investment Company's Statement of
     Additional Information ("SAI").

XIII.EFFECTIVE DATE

     This Code was adopted at a meeting of the Boards of Directors/Trustees of
     the Investment Companies. This Code shall become effective on February 26,
     1997 and remain in effect until amended or replaced by the Boards of
     Directors/Trustees by subsequent action.
