               the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form N-1A (File No.
               333-15119) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

               on February 12, 1999.

Item 24.  Persons Controlled by or under Common Control with Registrant.

     Not applicable.


Item 25.  Indemnification.

     Reference is hereby made to (a) Article V of the Registrant's Declaration
of Trust, filed as an Exhibit to the Registrant's Initial Registration
Statement on Form N-1A; (b) Section 6 of the Distribution Agreement between the
Registrant and CFBDS, Inc., filed as an Exhibit to Post-Effective Amendment No.
2 to the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form N-1A; and (c) the
undertaking of the Registrant regarding indemnification set forth in its
Registration Statement on Form N-1A.

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

     The Trustees and officers of the Registrant and the personnel of the
Registrant's administrator are insured under an errors and omissions liability
insurance policy. The Registrant and its officers are also insured under the
fidelity bond required by Rule 17g-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
