(1)  Reduced rates apply to purchase payments over $50,000.  See "Public
Offering Price" and "Rights of Accumulation."
(2)  Each Fund has approved a Plan of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1
providing for the payment of a maximum distribution fee, equal to 0.50% of its
average daily net assets, to Monument Distributors, Inc. the principal
underwriter for each Fund.  See "Rule 12b-1 Plan."  Distributors has agreed to
waive the distribution fee for the next 12 months.  Long-term investors may pay
more than the economic equivalent of the maximum front end sales charges
permitted by the National Association of Securities Dealers.
(3)  Other expenses for each Fund are based on estimated amounts for the current
fiscal year.

FUTURE EXPENSES OR PERFORMANCE, WHICH MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.
