                 RISK/RETURN SUMMARY

         The following is a summary of certain key information about each of the
Fund's  Portfolios,   including  investment  objectives,   principal  investment
strategies and principal  investment  risks. A more detailed  description of the
allowable  investment  strategies,  allowable  investments and their  associated
risks will follow.

                  FIXED INCOME FUND

Investment Objective: The Fixed Income Fund's investment objective is to provide
investors with a total return which consistently exceeds the total return of the
broad U.S.  investment  grade bond  market as  measured  by the Lehman  Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index (the "LBA Benchmark").

Principal  Investment  Strategies:  The Fixed  Income  Fund seeks to achieve its
objective  through  superior  selection  and  emphasis on current  income  while
maintaining a duration neutral position.  A duration neutral position means that
the  investment  adviser  of the  Fixed  Income  Fund  does not take a  duration
position  against the LBA  Benchmark.  Duration  measures the expected life of a
debt  security  on a  present  value  basis.  The  present  duration  of the LBA
Benchmark  is 4.7 years.  At least 65% of the Fixed  Income  Fund's total assets
will be invested in the broad  universe of  available  U.S.  dollar fixed income
securities.

         Investment Management Approach:
         Seix Investment Advisors Inc. (the
         "Investment Adviser") will manage
         the Fixed Income Fund based on its
         fixed income approach which is
         founded upon four cornerstones:
1.       Targeted  Duration:  The  Fixed  Income  Fund  will be  managed  with a
         duration that is close to the duration of the LBA  Benchmark.  Value is
         added through sector and security management.
2.       Yield  Tilt:  Although the Fixed Income Fund is managed on a total
         return basis, a premium is placed on
         income.  Income is considered the
         most powerful contributor to fixed
         income returns.  Non-Treasury
         sectors generally play a dominant
         role in the Fixed Income Fund. 3.  Comprehensive  Sector  Construction:
         Sector  allocation is generally  determined  through a research  driven
         process, depending on value areas within the fixed income market. Since
         the Fixed Income Fund does not incur any duration  risk, the Investment
         Adviser allows larger than average  allocations  to different  sectors.
         The Fixed  Income  Fund  will  usually  maintain  an  overweighting  in
         obligations of domestic or foreign  corporations and an  underweighting
         of United  States  Treasury  securities,  giving the Fixed  Income Fund
         potentially  higher  income than the LBA  Benchmark  with  accompanying
         risk. 4. Proprietary  Analytics:  Because of the growing  complexity of
         the  bond  market,  the  Investment  Adviser  believes  that the use of
         financial investment techniques which it developed internally is key to
         identifying value and to adequately controlling risk.

         Credit  Quality:  The Fixed  Income Fund may only invest in  investment
         grade  securities  that  are  those  rated  by one or  more  nationally
         recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) in one of the four
         highest rating  categories at the time of purchase (e.g.  AAA, AA, A or
         BBB by Standard & Poor's Corporation (Standard & Poor's), Duff & Phelps
         Credit Rating Co. ("Duff & Phelps"), or Fitch Investors Service,  Inc.,
         (Fitch)  or  Aaa,  Aa,  A or Baa by  Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc.
         (Moody's).  If the security is unrated,  it must meet, in the judgement
         of the Investment Adviser, the above minimum credit quality standards.

         Principal Investments: The Fixed Income Fund will principally invest in
         the  following  securities:  obligations  issued or  guaranteed  by the
         United   States   Government,   obligations   of  domestic  or  foreign
         corporations  or other  entities,  obligations  of  domestic or foreign
         banks, mortgage-and-asset backed securities,  obligations backed by the
         full faith and credit of the United States,  and obligations  issued or
         guaranteed by United States Government  agencies,  Government-Sponsored
         Enterprises  (GSE's) or  instrumentalities  where the Fixed Income Fund
         must  look  principally  to the  issuing  or  guaranteeing  agency  for
         ultimate repayment.

Principal Risks: A loss of money on your investment in the Fixed Income Fund, or
the  underperformance  of the Fixed  Income Fund  relative to other  investments
could occur due to certain  risks.  These  include:  interest rate risk,  credit
risk, prepayment risk, and non-diversification risk.








           INTERMEDIATE FIXED INCOME FUND

Investment Objective:  The Intermediate Fixed Income Fund's investment objective
is to provide investors with a total return which consistently exceeds the total
return of the  intermediate  portion  of the broad  U.S.  investment  grade bond
market as  measured by the Lehman  Brothers  Intermediate  Government  Corporate
Index (the "LBI Benchmark").

Principal  Investment  Strategies:  The Intermediate  Fixed Income Fund seeks to
achieve its objective through superior  selection and emphasis on current income
while maintaining a duration neutral position. A duration neutral position means
that the investment  adviser of the Intermediate Fixed Income Fund does not take
a duration  position against the LBI Benchmark.  Duration  measures the expected
life of a debt  security on a present value basis.  The present  duration of the
LBI Benchmark is 3.4 years. At least 65% of the Intermediate Fixed Income Fund's
total  assets will be invested in the broad  universe of available  U.S.  dollar
fixed income securities.

         Investment Management Approach:
         The Investment  Adviser will manage the Intermediate  Fixed Income Fund
         based  on  its  fixed  income  approach  which  is  founded  upon  four
         cornerstones:  1. Targeted Duration: The Intermediate Fixed Income Fund
         will be managed  with a duration  that is close to the  duration of the
         LBI Benchmark.  Value is added through sector and security  management.
         2. Yield Tilt:  Although the Intermediate  Fixed Income Fund is managed
         on a total  return  basis,  a premium  is placed on  income.  Income is
         considered  the most  powerful  contributor  to fixed  income  returns.
         Non-Treasury sectors generally play a dominant role in the Intermediate
         Fixed  Income  Fund.  3.  Comprehensive  Sector  Construction:   Sector
         allocation is generally  determined  through a research driven process,
         depending  on value areas  within the fixed  income  market.  Since the
         Intermediate  Fixed Income Fund does not incur any duration  risk,  the
         Investment Adviser allows larger than average  allocations to different
         sectors.  The  Intermediate  Fixed Income Fund will usually maintain an
         overweighting in obligations of domestic or foreign corporations and an
         underweighting  of  United  States  Treasury  securities,   giving  the
         Intermediate  Fixed Income Fund potentially  higher income than the LBI
         Benchmark with accompanying risk. 4. Proprietary Analytics:  Because of
         the growing  complexity of the bond market,  the firm believes that the
         use of financial investment techniques which it developed internally is
         key to identifying value and to adequately controlling risk.

         Credit  Quality:  The Fixed  Income Fund may only invest in  investment
         grade  securities  that  are  those  rated  by one or  more  nationally
         recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) in one of the four
         highest rating  categories at the time of purchase (e.g.  AAA, AA, A or
         BBB by Standard & Poor's Corporation (Standard & Poor's), Duff & Phelps
         Credit Rating Co. ("Duff & Phelps"), or Fitch Investors Service,  Inc.,
         (Fitch)  or  Aaa,  Aa,  A or Baa by  Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc.
         (Moody's).  If the security is unrated,  it must meet, in the judgement
         of the Investment Adviser, the above minimum credit quality standards.

         Principal   Investments:   The  Intermediate  Fixed  Income  Fund  will
         principally invest in the following  securities:  obligations issued or
         guaranteed by the United States Government,  obligations of domestic or
         foreign  corporations  or other  entities,  obligations  of domestic or
         foreign banks, mortgage-and-asset backed securities, obligations backed
         by the full  faith and  credit of the United  States,  and  obligations
         issued  or   guaranteed   by   United   States   Government   agencies,
         Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSE's) or instrumentalities where the
         Intermediate  Fixed Income Fund must look principally to the issuing or
         guaranteeing agency for ultimate repayment.

Principal  Risks: A loss of money on your investment in the  Intermediate  Fixed
Income  Fund,  or the  underperformance  of the  Intermediate  Fixed Income Fund
relative to other investments  could occur due to certain risks.  These include:
interest rate risk, credit risk, prepayment risk, and non-diversification risk.

             PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

"Risk" is the chance that you may lose on an investment or that it will not earn
as much as you  expect.  In  general,  the  greater  the risk,  the  greater the
possibility of losing money. The possibility exists that investment decisions of
portfolio  managers of the Fund will not  accomplish  what they are  designed to
achieve. No assurance can be given that a Portfolio's  investment objective will
be achieved.

The risks associated with each Portfolio  depend on its investment  strategy and
the types of securities it holds.  The specific  risks  affecting each Portfolio
will be indicated in the individual  portfolio  descriptions in this prospectus.
General  risks  associated  with  each  Portfolio's   investment   policies  and
strategies are as follows:

Banking industry     Investing in bank  obligations  will expose an investor to
risks  associated with the banking industry
risk:                such as interest rate and credit risks.

Credit               risk: The risk that a security  issuer or a counterparty to
                     a contract will default or not be able to honor a financial
                     obligation.

Interest  rate Bond  prices  fluctuate  with  changing  interest  rates and vary
inversely with market interest rates. In risk: general,  bonds increase in value
when interest rates fall and decrease in value when interest rates
                     rise. Further, for a given change in interest rates, longer
                     duration bonds usually fluctuate more in price than shorter
                     duration bonds.

Market               risk:  The  market  value of a  security  may  increase  or
                     decrease over time. Such  fluctuations can cause a security
                     to be worth less than the price  originally  paid for it or
                     less than it was worth at an earlier time.  Market risk may
                     affect a single issuer,  entire industry or the market as a
                     whole.

Non-diversification  A portfolio is diversified  when it spreads  investment
risk:                risk by placing assets in several  investment
                     categories.  A  non-diversified  portfolio  concentrates
                     its  assets in a less  diverse  spectrum  of
                     securities.  Non-diversification  can intensify risk shoulD
                     a particular  investment  category  suffer
                     from adverse market conditions.

Prepayment           risk:  Investing in mortgage-backed  and other asset-backed
                     securities  carries risks of faster or slower than expected
                     prepayment  of  principal  which  affect the  duration  and
                     return of the securities.


          POTENTIAL Year 2000 risk

Like other mutual funds,  financial and business  organizations  and individuals
around the world,  the Fund could be affected  adversely if the computer systems
used by the Investment Advisor,  Administrator and/or other service providers do
not properly  process and calculate  date-related  information and data from and
after January 1, 2000.  This is commonly  known as the "Year 2000 Problem" ("Y2K
Problem").  The advisor and administrator are taking steps that they believe are
reasonably  designed to address the Y2K Problem with  respect to their  computer
systems and in obtaining  reasonable  assurances that comparable steps are being
taken by the Fund's other major service providers.  At this time, however, there
can be no  assurance  that these steps will be  sufficient  to avoid any adverse
impact to the Fund, nor can there be any assurance that the Y2K Problem will not
have an adverse effect on the companies whose securities are held by the Fund or
on global markets or economies,  generally.  Foreign  companies may have greater
exposure  to the Y2K  Problem  than  U.S.  companies  due to less  sophisticated
testing procedures.

(a)  Other  Expenses   include  fees  for   shareholder   services,   custodial,
administration,   dividend  disbursing  and  transfer  agency  fees,  legal  and
accounting fees, printing costs and registration fees.

(b) The Investment  Adviser and Administrator  have voluntarily  agreed to limit
the total expenses of the Fixed Income Fund and  Intermediate  Fixed Income Fund
(excluding  interest,  taxes,  brokerage and  extraordinary  expenses) to annual
rates of 0.45% of their average daily net assets for an indefinite  time period.
There is no specific time period for how long the voluntary expense  limitations
will last,  and such  waivers  may be  cancelled  at any time.  As long as these
temporary expense limitations  continue,  it may lower the Fixed Income Fund and
Intermediate  Fixed Income Fund's expenses and increase their total returns.  In
the event the Investment Adviser and Administrator remove such expense caps, the
Fixed Income Fund and Intermediate Fixed Income Fund's expenses may increase and
their total  returns may be reduced  depending  on their total  assets.  For the
fiscal year ended October 31, 1998,  the  Investment  Adviser and  Administrator
waived fees in the amount of 0.58% in the Fixed Income Fund.

(c)  As  the  Intermediate  Fixed  Income  Fund  has  not  commenced  investment
operations,  these expenses are estimates based upon the expected  expenses that
the Intermediate Fixed Income Fund would incur
in the current fiscal year.


Example.  This  example is  intended to help
you  compare the cost of  investing  in each
of the  Portfolios  of  the  Fund  with  the
cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that:
o You invest  $10,000 in the  Portfolio for the time periods  indicated;  o Your
investment has a 5% return each year; and o The Portfolio's  operating  expenses
remain the same.

The results apply  whether or not you redeem your  investment at the end of each
period.  Although your costs may be higher or lower,  based on these assumptions
your costs would be:

         There is no sales  charge  imposed  by the Fund.  The  minimum  initial
investment  in the Class A shares of each  Portfolio in the Fund is  $1,000,000.
The  minimum  investment  may be  waived  at any time at the  discretion  of the
investment adviser. Additional purchases may be of any amount.

         The  offering  of shares of the Fund is  continuous  and  purchases  of
shares of the Fund may be made Monday  through  Friday,  except for the holidays
declared by the Federal Reserve Banks of New York or Boston (a "Business  Day").
At the present time, these holidays are: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr.
Day,  Presidents' Day,  Memorial Day, Fourth of July,  Labor Day,  Columbus Day,
Veterans Day,  Thanksgiving,  and Christmas.  The Fund's shares are offered at a
public offering price equal to the net asset value next determined after receipt
of a purchase order.

         In order to purchase  shares on a particular  Business Day,  subject to
the offering dates described above, a purchaser must submit a completed  Account
Application Form (and other required  documents) and call the Investors  Capital
Services, Inc., a branch offices of the Distributor at (800) 762-4848, or within
the City of New York,  (212) 332-5211 prior to 4:00 p.m.  Eastern time to inform
the Fund of the incoming  wire  transfer.  If Federal  funds are received by the
Fund  that  same  day,  the order  will be  effective  on that day.  If the Fund
receives notification on a non-business day, or after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, or
if Federal  funds are  received by the  Transfer  Agent after 4:00 p.m.  Eastern
time,  such purchase order shall be deemed received as of the next business day.
Shares  purchased  will begin  accruing  dividends on the day Federal  funds are
received.

         Purchases  of shares must be made by wire  transfer  of Federal  funds.
Please note that the shareholder's  bank may impose a charge to execute the wire
transfer. The wiring instructions for purchasing shares of the Fund are:

                      Redemption Of Shares

         The Fund will redeem all full and  fractional  shares of each Portfolio
in the Fund upon request of shareholders.  The redemption price is the net asset
value per share next  determined  after receipt by the Transfer  Agent of proper
notice of  redemption  as  described  below.  If such  notice is received by the
Transfer  Agent by 4:00 p.m.  Eastern time on any Business  Day, the  redemption
will be  effective  on the date of  receipt.  If such  notice of  redemption  is
received by the Transfer  Agent after 4:00 p.m.  Eastern time, the redemption of
the shareholder  shall be effective on the following  Business Day. Payment will
ordinarily  be made by wire on the next  Business  Day but  within  no more than
seven days from the date of receipt.  If the notice is received on a day that is
not a Business Day or after the  above-mentioned  cut-off times,  the redemption
notice will be deemed received as of the next Business Day.

         There is no charge  imposed  by the Fund to redeem  shares of the Fund;
however,  a shareholder's  bank may impose its own wire transfer fee for receipt
of  the  wire.  Redemptions  may be  executed  in any  amount  requested  by the
shareholder up to the amount such shareholder has invested in the Fund.

         To redeem shares,  a shareholder or any authorized agent (so designated
on the Account Application Form) must provide the Transfer Agent with the dollar
or share amount to be  redeemed,  the account to which the  redemption  proceeds
should be wired (which  account  shall have been  previously  designated  by the
shareholder on its Account  Application  Form),  the name of the shareholder and
the  shareholder's  account number.  Shares redeemed receive dividends up to and
including the day preceding the day the redemption proceeds are wired.

         A shareholder may change its authorized agent or the account designated
to receive redemption proceeds at any time by writing to the Transfer Agent with
an appropriate  signature guarantee.  Further documentation may be required when
deemed appropriate by the Transfer Agent.

         A shareholder  may request  redemption by calling the Transfer Agent at
(800)  247-0473.  Telephone  redemption is made available to shareholders of the
Fund on the Account Application Form. The Fund and the Transfer Agent may employ
reasonable  procedures  designed to confirm that  instructions  communicated  by
telephone are genuine.  If either the Fund or the Transfer Agent does not employ
such  procedures,  it may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent
instructions. The Fund or the Transfer Agent may require personal identification
codes and will only wire funds through  pre-existing bank account  instructions.
No bank instruction changes will be accepted via telephone.

                      ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Dividends and Distributions

         Dividends are automatically  reinvested in additional Class A shares of
the Fund on the last day of each  month at the net asset  value per share on the
last  Business Day of that month unless  shareholders  indicate  their desire to
receive  dividends in cash  (payable on the first  Business Day of the following
month) on the Account  Application Form. In the event that the Fund realizes net
long-term capital gains (i.e., with respect to assets held more than 18 months),
it will distribute them at least annually by automatically reinvesting (unless a
shareholder  has  elected  to  receive  cash) such  long-term  capital  gains in
additional  shares  of  the  Fund  at the  net  asset  value  on  the  date  the
distribution is declared.

         The net investment  income  (including  accrued but unpaid interest and
amortization  of original issue and market discount or premium) of the Fund will
be declared as a dividend  payable  monthly to  shareholders of record as of the
last  Business  Day of each  month.  The Fund will also  declare,  to the extent
necessary,  a net short-term capital gain dividend once per year.  Dividends are
paid on the first Business Day of the month.

Determination of Net Asset Value

         The net asset value per share of the Fund is  calculated  by the Fund's
Accounting  Agent as of 4:00 p.m.  Eastern time on each Business Day the Fund is
open.  The net asset  value per share of each class of the Fund is  computed  by
dividing the sum of the value of the  securities  held by the Fund plus any cash
or other assets (including  interest and dividends accrued but not yet received)
minus all liabilities  (including any accrued expenses that are specific to that
class) by the total number of shares  outstanding  at such time,  rounded to the
nearest cent.  Expenses,  including the investment  advisory fees payable to the
Investment Adviser, are accrued daily.

     The following methods are used to calculate the value of the Fund's assets:
(1) all portfolio  securities for which  over-the-counter  market quotations are
readily available (including  asset-backed  securities) are valued at the latest
bid price; (2) deposits and repurchase  agreements are valued at their cost plus
accrued interest unless the Investment  Adviser  determines in good faith, under
procedures  established by and under the general supervision of the Fund's Board
of  Directors,  that such  value  does not  approximate  the fair  value of such
assets;  and (3) the value of other assets will be  determined  in good faith by
the Investment  Adviser at fair value under procedures  established by and under
the  general  supervision  of the  Fund's  Board of  Directors.  The  procedures
establish  guidelines for the Board to follow in pricing  securities in the Fund
for which market quotations are not readily available.  These securities will be
priced by the Fund's  Pricing  Committee  and then reported to the Board seeking
ratification of the price by the Board at its next quarterly meeting.

Taxes

         The  following  discussion  is  only a  brief  summary  of  some of the
important  tax  considerations  affecting  each  Portfolio  of the  Fund and its
shareholders.  No  attempt  is made to  present a  detailed  explanation  of all
federal, state, local and foreign income tax considerations, and this discussion
is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning. Accordingly, potential
investors are urged to consult their own tax advisers with specific reference to
their own tax situation.

         The  Fixed  Income  Fund  qualifies  to  be  treated  as  a  "regulated
investment  company" for federal income tax purposes  under  Subchapter M of the
Code.  The  Intermediate  Fixed  Income Fund  intends to qualify and elect to be
treated as a regulated  investment  company.  If so qualified,  the Intermediate
Fixed  Income  Fund  will not be  subject  to  federal  income  taxes on its net
investment income (i.e., its investment  company taxable income) as that term is
defined in the Code,  determined  without  regard to the deduction for dividends
paid) and net capital gain (i.e.,  the excess of the  Intermediate  Fixed Income
Fund's net long-term capital gain over its net short-term capital loss), if any,
that it  distributes to its  shareholders  in each taxable year. To qualify as a
regulated  investment  company,  the Intermediate  Fixed Income Fund must, among
other things,  distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of its net investment
company taxable income for such taxable year.  However,  the Intermediate  Fixed
Income Fund would be subject to corporate federal income tax at a rate of 35% on
any undistributed income or net capital gain. The Intermediate Fixed Income Fund
will be subject to a 4%  nondeductible  excise tax on its taxable  income to the
extent it does not meet certain other distribution requirements.  If in any year
the  Intermediate  Fixed  Income  Fund  should  fail to qualify  as a  regulated
investment  company,  the  Intermediate  Fixed  Income  Fund would be subject to
federal  income  tax  in  the  same  manner  as  an  ordinary   corporation  and
distributions  to  shareholders  would be  taxable to such  holders as  ordinary
income to the  extent of the  earnings  and  profits of the  Intermediate  Fixed
Income  Fund.  Such  distributions  would  qualify  for  the  dividends-received
deduction  available  to  corporate  shareholders.  Distributions  in  excess of
earnings and profits  would be treated as a tax-free  return of capital,  to the
extent  of a  holder's  basis  in its  shares,  and any  excess,  as a long-  or
short-term capital gain.

         Distributions  paid by a  Portfolio  of the Fund  from  net  investment
income are  designated  by the  Portfolio as "ordinary  income  dividends"  and,
whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional shares,  will be taxable to the
Portfolio's  shareholders  that are otherwise subject to tax as ordinary income.
Distributions  made from a Portfolio's  net capital gain which are designated by
the  Portfolio  as "capital  gains  dividends"  are taxable to  shareholders  as
long-term  capital gains,  regardless of the length of time the  shareholder has
owned the Portfolio's  shares.  Shareholders  receiving  distributions  from the
Portfolio in the form of  additional  shares will be treated for federal  income
tax  purposes as  receiving a  distribution  in an amount equal to the net asset
value of the additional shares on the date of such a distribution.

         Gain or loss, if any,  recognized on the sale or other  disposition  of
shares of a Portfolio  of the Fund will be taxed as capital  gain or loss if the
shares are capital assets in the shareholder's hands. Generally, a shareholder's
gain or loss will be a  long-term  gain or loss if the shares have been held for
more than 12 months.  A loss  realized  on a sale or  exchange  of shares may be
disallowed if other shares are acquired within a 61-day period beginning 30 days
before and ending 30 days after the date that the shares are disposed of.

          Dividends and  distributions  by a Portfolio of the Fund are generally
taxable to the  shareholders  at the time the dividend or  distribution is made.
Any  dividend  declared  in December  of any year,  however,  that is payable to
shareholders  of record on a specified date in such month will be deemed to have
been  received  by the  shareholders  and  paid by a  Portfolio  of the  Fund on
December 31 of such year in the event such  dividends  are actually  paid during
January of the following year.

          A Portfolio of the Fund may be required to withhold federal income tax
at a rate of 31% ("backup  withholding") from dividends and redemption  proceeds
paid to non-corporate  shareholders.  This tax may be withheld from dividends if
(i) the  shareholder  fails  to  furnish  the  Portfolio  of the  Fund  with the
shareholder's correct taxpayer  identification number, (ii) the Internal Revenue
Service  ("IRS")  notifies the  Portfolio of the Fund that the  shareholder  has
failed to report properly certain interest and dividend income to the IRS and to
respond  to  notices  to that  effect,  or (iii)  when  required  to do so,  the
shareholder  fails  to  certify  that  he  or  she  is  not  subject  to  backup
withholding.

          Each  Portfolio  of the  Fund  expects  that  its  distributions  will
represent primarily ordinary income to shareholders.

         DESCRIPTION OF INVESTMENTS

         Each Portfolio of the Fund may invest in the  securities  defined below
in  accordance  with their listing of allowable  investments  and any quality or
policy constraints.

Agencies

         The Fund may  invest  in  agencies  which are  securities  that are not
guaranteed by the United States Government,  but which are issued,  sponsored or
guaranteed by a federal agency or federally sponsored agency such as the Student
Loan Marketing Association or any of several other agencies.

Bank Obligations

         The Fund may invest in  obligations  of  domestic  and  foreign  banks,
including time deposits,  certificates of deposit,  bankers'  acceptances,  bank
notes,  deposit notes,  Eurodollar  time deposits,  Eurodollar  certificates  of
deposit, variable rate notes, loan participations, variable amount master demand
notes,  and  custodial  receipts.  Time  deposits  are  non-negotiable  deposits
maintained in a banking  institution for a specified  period of time at a stated
interest rate.  Certificates  of deposit are negotiable  short-term  obligations
issued by  commercial  banks or  savings  and loan  associations  against  funds
deposited in the issuing institution.  Variable rate certificates of deposit are
certificates  of deposit on which the  interest  rate is  adjusted  periodically
prior to their stated  maturity  based upon a specified  market rate. A bankers'
acceptance is a time draft drawn on a commercial  bank by a borrower  usually in
connection with an international  commercial transaction (to finance the import,
export,  transfer, or storage of goods). The Fund will not concentrate more than
25% of its total assets in domestic bank obligations.  Domestic bank obligations
include  instruments that are issued by United States (domestic)  banks;  United
States  branches  of foreign  banks,  if such  branches  are subject to the same
regulations as United States banks; and foreign branches of United States banks,
if the Investment  Adviser  determines  that the investment risk associated with
investing  in  instruments  issued  by  such  branches  is the  same  as that of
investing in  instruments  issued by the United  States parent bank, in that the
United States parent bank would be unconditionally  liable in the event that the
foreign branch fails to pay on its instruments.  Bank obligations entail varying
amounts  of  interest  rate  and  credit  risk,   with  the   lowest-rated   and
longest-dated bank obligations entailing the greatest risk of loss to the Fund.

CMOs--Collateralized Mortgage Obligations

         The Fund may purchase  collateralized  mortgage  obligations  which are
derivatives that are collateralized by mortgage  pass-through  securities.  Cash
flows  from the  mortgage  pass-through  securities  are  allocated  to  various
tranches (a "tranche" is  essentially a separate  security) in a  predetermined,
specified  order.  Each tranche has a stated maturity - the latest date by which
the tranche can be  completely  repaid,  assuming  no  prepayments  - and has an
average life the average of the time to receipt of a principal  payment weighted
by the size of the principal  payment.  The average life is typically  used as a
proxy for maturity  because the debt is amortized  (repaid a portion at a time),
rather  than  being paid off  entirely  at  maturity,  as would be the case in a
straight debt instrument.

Corporates

         The Fund may invest in corporates which are debt instruments  issued by
private corporations.  Bondholders,  as creditors, have a prior legal claim over
common and  preferred  stockholders  of the  corporation  as to both  income and
assets for the principal and interest due to the  bondholder.  The Fund will buy
corporates subject to any quality constraints. If a security held by the Fund is
downgraded,  the Fund may retain the security if the  Investment  Adviser  deems
retention of the security to be in the best interests of the Fund.

Floaters

         Floaters--Floating  and Variable Rate  Obligations are debt obligations
with a floating or variable rate of interest,  i.e. the rate of interest  varies
with changes in specified market rates or indices, such as the prime rate, or at
specified  intervals.  Certain floating or variable rate obligations may carry a
demand  feature that permits the holder to tender them back to the issuer of the
underlying instrument, or to a third party, at par value prior to maturity.


Foreign  Government  and  International  and
Supranational Agency Debt Securities

         The Fund may purchase U.S. dollar  denominated debt obligations  issued
or  guaranteed  by foreign  governments  or their  subdivisions,  agencies,  and
instrumentalities,  and debt  obligations  issued or guaranteed by international
agencies and supranational entities.

Investment Grade Debt Securities

         The Fund may invest in investment grade securities that are those rated
by one or more NRSROs in one of the four highest  rating  categories at the time
of purchase (e.g. AAA, AA, A or BBB by Standard & Poor's,  Fitch, Duff & Phelps,
or Aaa,  Aa, A or Baa by Moody's).  Securities  rated BBB or Baa  represent  the
lowest  of four  levels of  investment  grade  securities  and are  regarded  as
borderline   between  definitely  sound  obligations  and  those  in  which  the
speculative element begins to predominate. Mortgage-backed securities, including
mortgage  pass-throughs and collateralized  mortgage obligations (CMOs),  deemed
investment grade by the Investment  Adviser,  will either carry a guarantee from
an agency of the U.S.  Government or a private  issuer of the timely  payment of
principal  and interest  (such  guarantees  do not extend to the market value of
such securities or the net asset value per share of the Fund) or, in the case of
unrated  securities,  be  sufficiently  seasoned that they are considered by the
Investment  Adviser to be investment grade quality.  The Investment  Adviser may
retain  securities  if their  ratings  fall below  investment  grade if it deems
retention of the security to be in the best  interests of the Fund. The Fund may
hold unrated  securities if the Investment  Adviser considers the risks involved
in owning that  security to be  equivalent  to the risks  involved in holding an
Investment Grade Security.

Mortgage-Backed Securities and Asset-Backed Debt Securities

         Mortgage-backed  debt  securities are secured or backed by mortgages or
other mortgage-related assets. Such securities may be issued by such entities as
Government  National Mortgage  Association  ("GNMA"),  Federal National Mortgage
Association  ("FNMA"),   Federal  Home  Loan  Mortgage  Corporation   ("FHLMC"),
commercial banks,  savings and loan associations,  mortgage banks, or by issuers
that  are  affiliates  of or  sponsored  by such  entities.  Other  asset-backed
securities are secured or backed by assets other than  mortgage-related  assets,
such  as  automobile  and  credit  card  receivables,  and  are  issued  by such
institutions as finance companies, finance subsidiaries of industrial companies,
and investment banks. The Fund will purchase only  asset-backed  securities that
the  Investment  Adviser  determines  to be liquid.  The Fund will not  purchase
mortgage  backed or  asset-backed  securities that do not meet the above minimum
credit standards.

         An important  feature of mortgage-and  asset-backed  securities is that
the principal amount is generally  subject to partial or total prepayment at any
time because the underlying assets (i.e., loans) generally may be prepaid at any
time. If an asset-backed security is purchased at a premium to par, a prepayment
rate that is  faster  than  expected  will  reduce  yield to  maturity,  while a
prepayment  rate that is slower than expected  will have the opposite  effect of
increasing  yield  to  maturity.  Conversely,  if an  asset-backed  security  is
purchased at a discount,  faster than expected prepayments will increase,  while
slower than expected  prepayments  will decrease,  yield to maturity.  It should
also be noted that these  securities  may not have any security  interest in the
underlying  assets,  and recoveries on  repossessed  collateral may not, in some
cases, be available to support payments on these securities.

Municipal Debt Securities

The Fund may, from time to time, purchase municipal debt securities when, in the
Investment  Adviser's  opinion,  such  instruments will provide a greater return
than taxable  instruments of comparable quality. It is not anticipated that such
securities will ever represent a significant  portion of the Fund's assets. Fund
distributions  that are derived from interest on municipal debt  securities will
be taxable to  shareholders  in the same manner as  distributions  derived  from
taxable debt securities.

Preferred Stock

         The Fund may invest in preferred  stock which is  non-voting  ownership
shares in a corporation which pay a fixed or variable stream of dividends.

Repurchase Agreements
         Repurchase  agreements are  transactions  by which the Fund purchases a
security  and  simultaneously  commits to resell that  security to the seller (a
bank or  securities  dealer)  at an agreed  upon  price on an  agreed  upon date
(usually within seven days of purchase).  The resale price reflects the purchase
price plus an agreed  upon market rate of  interest  which is  unrelated  to the
coupon rate or date of  maturity  of the  purchased  security.  Such  agreements
permit  the  Fund to keep  all its  assets  at work  while  retaining  overnight
flexibility in pursuit of  investments  of a longer term nature.  The Investment
Adviser  will  continually  monitor the value of the  underlying  collateral  to
ensure that its value, including accrued interest,  always equals or exceeds the
repurchase price.

When-lssued    and    Forward     Commitment
Securities

         The Fund may  purchase  securities  on a  "when-issued"  basis  and may
purchase  or  sell  securities  on  a  "forward   commitment"   basis.  In  such
transactions,  instruments  are bought with payment and delivery taking place in
the future in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous  yield or
price  at the  time  of the  transaction.  Delivery  of and  payment  for  these
securities may take more than a month after the date of the purchase commitment,
but will take  place no more  than 120 days  after  the  trade  date.  No income
accrues prior to delivery on securities  that have been purchased  pursuant to a
forward commitment or on a when-issued basis. However,  interest is generated on
the  short-term  investments  that are  segregated  for the  settlement of these
securities.  At the time the Fund enters into a transaction  on a when-issued or
forward  commitment  basis,  a segregated  account  consisting of cash or liquid
securities  equal  to  the  value  of  the  when-issued  or  forward  commitment
securities  will be  established in the Fund and maintained in the Fund and will
be marked to market daily. A short term  investment in this  segregated  account
may not have a duration that exceeds 180 days. Forward  commitments,  or delayed
deliveries,  are deemed to be outside the normal corporate settlement structure.
They are subject to segregation requirements; however, when a forward commitment
purchase  is made  to  close a  forward  commitment  sale,  or vice  versa,  the
difference  between  the  two  may be  netted  for  segregation  purposes  until
settlement date.

Zero Coupon Debt Securities

         The Fund may invest in zero coupon debt  securities  (bonds that pay no
interest but are originally sold at an original issue discount). Because they do
not pay interest until  maturity,  zero coupon  securities tend to be subject to
greater  fluctuation  of market  value in response to changes in interest  rates
than interest-paying securities of similar maturities.


INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

The Fund may not:

(1) borrow money (including entering into
reverse repurchase agreements);

 (2)make loans except that it may enter
into Repurchase Agreements;

 (3)invest  more than 25% of the total assets of the Fund in the  securities  of
issuers having their principal activities in any particular industry, except for
tax-exempt  obligations  issued  or  guaranteed  by  the  U.S.  government,  its
agencies, GSE's,  instrumentalities or by any state, territory or any possession
of the United States or any of their authorities, agencies, instrumentalities or
political subdivisions,  or with respect to repurchase agreements collateralized
by any of such  obligations.  For  purposes of this  restriction,  supranational
issuers  will be  considered  to  comprise  an  industry  as will  each  foreign
government  that issues  securities  purchased by the Fund. In the case of Asset
Backed Securities, the industry will be defined by the underlying assets in each
trust.  (For  example,  credit  card  receivables  and auto loans  would each be
considered separate industries); and

         (4) invest the cash securing a forward  commitment  in mortgage  backed
securities in investments that have a duration exceeding 180 days.

         The   limitations   contained  above  may  be  changed  only  with  the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Fund's  outstanding  voting
securities,  as defined in the 1940 Act. The  percentage  limitations  contained
above as well as elsewhere in this Prospectus and in the Statement of Additional
Information apply only at the time of purchase and the Fund will not be required
to dispose of securities upon subsequent fluctuations in market value.

         The Fund has the following non-fundamental investment policies:

(1) it will not invest in the  securities of any company which as a primary line
of business in the manufacture and sale of tobacco products;

        (2) the  Intermediate  Fixed Income Fund will not engage in the strategy
of establishing or rolling forward TBA mortgage commitments; and

         (3) the  Intermediate  Fixed  Income  Fund  will  not,  at the  time of
purchase,  invest  more than 15% of its net  assets in  securities  rated BBB by
Standard & Poor's, Duff & Phelps, or Fitch
or Baa by Moody's.

         Investment policies that are non-fundamental may be changed at any time
by the Board of Directors of the Fund and do not require shareholder approval.

     ORGANIZATION OF THE FUND

         The  authorized  capital  stock of the Fund  consists of  2,500,000,000
shares  with $.001 par value.  Every share  issued by the Fund has equal  voting
rights; shareholders receive one vote for each share held. All shares issued and
outstanding are fully paid and non-assessable,  transferable,  and redeemable at
their  net  asset  value  at the  option  of the  shareholder.  Shares  have  no
preemptive or conversion rights.

         The shares of the Fund have non-cumulative  voting rights,  which means
that the  holders of more than 50% of the  shares  voting  for the  election  of
Directors  can elect 100% of the Directors if they choose to do so, and, in such
event,  the holders of the remaining  less than 50% of the shares voting for the
election  of  Directors  will not be able to elect any  person or persons to the
Board of Directors.


           MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         The Fund is  managed  by its  Board of  Directors.  The  Directors  and
officers of the Fund and their principal  occupations during the past five years
are set forth  below.  An asterisk  (*) has been placed next to the name of each
director who is an  "interested  person" of the Fund, as such term is defined in
the  Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"),  by virtue of
his affiliation with the Fund or the Fund's investment adviser,  Seix Investment
Advisors Inc. (the "Investment Adviser").

  INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADVISORY
             AGREEMENTS

         Seix  Investment  Advisors  Inc.,  established in 1992, is a registered
investment  adviser that specializes in professional fixed income management for
corporations,  public funds,  endowments,  foundations and hospitals.  Christina
Seix may be deemed a "controlling person" of the Investment Adviser on the basis
of her ownership of the Investment Adviser's stock.

         Pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreements between each Portfolio
of the  Fund  and  the  Investment  Adviser  (the  "Advisory  Agreements"),  the
Investment  Adviser,  subject to the control and supervision of the Fund's Board
of  Directors  and in  conformance  with the stated  investment  objectives  and
policies  of each  Portfolio  of the  Fund,  shall  manage  the  investment  and
reinvestment of the assets of the Fund. In this regard, it is the responsibility
of the Investment Adviser to make investment decisions for the Fund and to place
the Fund's purchase and sales orders for investment securities.

         The Advisory  Agreements shall remain in effect for two years following
its date of execution and thereafter will automatically  continue for successive
annual periods,  so long as such  continuance is specifically  approved at least
annually  by (a) the  Board of  Directors  or (b) the vote of a  "majority"  (as
defined in the 1940 Act) of a Portfolio's  outstanding shares voting as a single
class;  provided,  that in either event the  continuance  is also approved by at
least a majority of the Board of Directors who are not "interested  persons" (as
defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund or the  Investment  Adviser by vote cast in
person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

         The Advisory Agreements are terminable without penalty on not less than
60 days'  notice  by the Board of  Directors  or by a vote of the  holders  of a
majority of a Portfolio's  outstanding  shares voting as a single class, or upon
not less than 60 days' notice by the Investment Adviser. The Advisory Agreements
will terminate  automatically in the event of their  "assignment" (as defined in
the 1940 Act).

         The  Investment  Adviser  pays  all of its  expenses  arising  from the
performance  of its  obligations  under the Advisory  Agreements,  including all
executive  salaries and expenses of the  directors  and officers of the Fund who
are employees of the Investment  Adviser or its  affiliates,  and office rent of
the Fund.  Subject to the  expense  reimbursement  provisions  described  in the
Prospectus under "Fund  Expenses,"  other expenses  incurred in the operation of
the Fund are borne by each Portfolio of the Fund, including, without limitation,
investment advisory fees, brokerage commissions,  interest, fees and expenses of
independent attorneys, auditors, custodians, accounting agents, transfer agents,
taxes,  cost of stock  certificates and any other expenses  (including  clerical
expenses)  of issue,  sale,  repurchase  or  redemption  of shares,  expenses of
registering  and qualifying  shares of the Fund under federal and state laws and
regulations,  expenses of printing and distributing  reports,  notices and proxy
materials to existing shareholders,  expenses of printing and filing reports and
other documents filed with governmental agencies, expenses of annual and special
shareholders'  meetings,  fees and expenses of Directors of the Fund who are not
employees of the Investment  Adviser or its  affiliates,  membership dues in the
Investment Company Institute, insurance premiums and extraordinary expenses such
as litigation expenses.

         As  compensation  for its services,  the  Investment  Adviser  receives
monthly compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets
of each Portfolio of the Fund.  The Investment  Adviser may waive all or part of
its fee from time to time in order to  increase  the net  income  available  for
distribution  to  shareholders  of a Portfolio of the Fund. The Fund will not be
required to reimburse the  Investment  Adviser for any advisory fees waived.  In
addition,  the Investment  Adviser and the Administrator have voluntarily agreed
to limit the total  expenses  of Class A Shares  of each  Portfolio  of the Fund
[(excluding  taxes,  interest,  brokerage,  and  extraordinary  expenses)] to an
annual rate of 0.45% of the Fund's  average  daily net assets for an  indefinite
time period.  As long as this temporary  expense  limitation  continues,  it may
lower a  Portfolio's  expenses and increase its total  return.  In the event the
Investment   Adviser  and/or  the  Administrator   remove  the  expense  cap,  a
Portfolio's  expenses may increase and its total return may be reduced depending
on the total assets of the Portfolio of the Fund.

         The Advisory Agreement of the Fixed Income Fund was approved on October
9, 1997 by the Fund's  Directors,  including a majority of the Directors who are
not  interested  persons  (as  defined  in the  1940  Act)  of the  Fund  or the
Investment Adviser. The Advisory Agreement of the Intermediate Fixed Income Fund
was approved on June 10, 1999 by the Fund's  Directors,  including a majority of
the  Directors  who are not  interested  persons  of the Fund or the  Investment
Adviser.


For the period  beginning  December 30, 1997 to October 31, 1998,  the amount of
advisory fees (net of waivers and reimbursements)  paid by the Fixed Income Fund
was  $0.  The  Intermediate  Fixed  Income  Fund  has not  commenced  investment
operations yet and has not incurred any advisory fees.


                             ADMINISTRATOR

         The administration  agreement (the "Administration  Agreement") between
the Fund and Investors Capital Services,  Inc., the "Administrator," will remain
in effect for a period of five  successive  annual  periods.  The  Administrator
provides for, or assists in managing and supervising all aspects of, the general
day-to-day  business activities and operations of the Fund other than investment
advisory activities,  including custodial, transfer agency, dividend disbursing,
accounting,  auditing,  compliance  and  related  services.  The  Fund  pays the
Administrator  a monthly fee at the annual  rate of 0.15% of the Fund's  average
daily net assets and the  Administrator  is entitled to  reimbursement  from the
Fund for its out-of-pocket expenses incurred under the Administration Agreement.

         For the period  beginning  December 30, 1997 to October 31,  1998,  the
amount of administration  fees (net of waivers and  reimbursements)  paid by the
Fund was $41,667.

    DISTRIBUTION OF FUND SHARES

         Shares of the Fund are distributed by the  Distributor  pursuant to the
distribution  agreement (the "Distribution  Agreement") between the Fund and the
Distributor,  which is subject to the approval of the Fund's Board of Directors.
No fees are payable by the Fund pursuant to the Distribution Agreement,  and the
Distributor bears the expense of its distribution  activities.  The Fund and the
Distributor have agreed to indemnify one another against certain liabilities.

    SUPPLEMENTAL DESCRIPTIONS OF
            INVESTMENTS

         The  investment  objective  of the  Fixed  Income  Fund  is to  provide
investors with a total return which consistently exceeds the total return of the
broad U.S.  investment  grade bond  market as  measured  by the Lehman  Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index. The investment  objective of the Intermediate Fixed Income
Fund is to provide investors with a total return which consistently  exceeds the
total return of the intermediate portion of the broad U.S. investment grade bond
market as  measured by the Lehman  Brothers  Intermediate  Government  Corporate
Index.  The  different  types of securities in which a Portfolio of the Fund may
invest,  subject to its investment  objective,  policies and  restrictions,  are
described in the Prospectus  under  "Descriptions  of  Investments."  Additional
information  concerning the  characteristics  of certain of the investments of a
Portfolio  of the  Fund  is set  forth  below.  Each  Portfolio  of the  Fund is
permitted to invest in the same types of  securities.  Any reference to the term
Fund in the  following  section is intended to include  both  Portfolios  of the
Fund.

         Bank    Obligations.    The Fund  limits  its   investments   in
U.S.     bank     obligations     to obligations  of U.S.  banks  that in
the  Investment   Adviser's  opinion meet   sufficient   creditworthiness
criteria.

         The  Fund  limits  its  investments  in  foreign  bank  obligations  to
obligations of foreign banks (including U.S. branches of foreign banks) that, in
the opinion of the Investment  Adviser,  are of an investment quality comparable
to obligations of U.S. banks in which the Fund may invest.

         Eurodollar   and   Yankee  Obligations.     Eurodollar     bank
obligations  are  dollar-denominated certificates  of  deposit  and  time
deposits  issued  outside  the  U.S. capital     markets    by    foreign
branches   of  U.S.   banks  and  by foreign    banks.     Yankee    bank
obligations        are       dollar- denominated  obligations  issued  in
the   U.S.    capital   markets   by foreign banks.

         Investment  Funds.  The Fund is permitted to invest in investment funds
and will make such  investments  only  where  appropriate  given that the Fund's
shareholders  will bear  indirectly  the  layer of  expenses  of the  underlying
investment funds in addition to their proportionate share of the expenses of the
Fund.

Mortgage-Backed Securities.
Mortgage-backed securities  are   securities   which represent  ownership
interests  in, or  are  debt  obligations   secured entirely or  primarily  by,
"pools" of    residential    or   commercial mortgage  loans or other
mortgage-backed    securities   (the "Underlying  Assets").  In the  case
of    mortgage-backed     securities representing   ownership   interests
in  the   Underlying   Assets,   the principal  and interest  payments on
the  underlying  mortgage  loans are distributed  monthly to the  holders
of        the        mortgage-backed securities.    In   the    case   of
mortgage-backed           securities representing     debt    obligations
secured  by the  Underlying  Assets, the     principal    and    interest
payments    on    the     underlying mortgage     loans,      and     any
reinvestment     income     thereon, provide   the   funds  to  pay  debt
service   on  such   mortgage-backed securities.

         Certain  mortgage-backed  securities  represent an undivided fractional
interest in the entirety of the Underlying  Assets (or in a substantial  portion
of the  Underlying  Assets,  with  additional  interests  junior  to that of the
mortgage-backed security), and thus have payment terms that closely resemble the
payment terms of the Underlying Assets.

         In addition,  many  mortgage-backed  securities  are issued in multiple
classes.  Each class of such  multi-class  mortgage-backed  securities  ("MBS"),
often  referred to as a  "traunche",  is issued at a specific  fixed or floating
coupon rate and has a stated  maturity  or final  distribution  date.  Principal
prepayment  on  the  Underlying   Assets  may  cause  the  MBSs  to  be  retired
substantially  earlier than their stated maturities or final distribution dates.
Interest  is paid or  accrues  on all or most  classes of the MBSs on a periodic
basis,  typically  monthly or  quarterly.  The  principal of and interest on the
Underlying  Assets may be allocated  among the several  classes of a series of a
MBS in many  different  ways.  In a  relatively  common  structure,  payments of
principal  (including any principal  prepayments)  on the Underlying  Assets are
applied  to the  classes  of a series of a MBS in the order of their  respective
stated  maturities so that no payment of principal  will be made on any class of
MBSs until all other classes having an earlier stated maturity have been paid in
full.

         Municipal Instruments.  Municipal notes may include such instruments as
tax anticipation notes, revenue anticipation notes, and bond anticipation notes.
Municipal notes are issued by state and local governments and public authorities
as interim  financing in anticipation of tax  collections,  revenue  receipts or
bond  sales.  Municipal  bonds,  which may be issued to raise  money for various
public purposes,  include general  obligation  bonds and revenue bonds.  General
obligation bonds are backed by the taxing power of the issuing  municipality and
are  considered  the  safest  type of bonds.  Revenue  bonds  are  backed by the
revenues  of a  project  or  facility  such  as the  tolls  from a toll  bridge.
Industrial  development revenue bonds are a specific type of revenue bond backed
by the  credit and  security  of a private  user.  Revenue  bonds are  generally
considered to have more potential risk than general obligation bonds.

         Municipal  obligations can have floating,  variable or fixed rates. The
value of floating and variable  rate  obligations  generally is more stable than
that of fixed rate  obligations  in response to changes in interest rate levels.
Variable and floating rate obligations usually carry rights that permit the Fund
to sell them at par value plus accrued  interest upon short notice.  The issuers
or financial  intermediaries  providing rights to sell may support their ability
to purchase the obligations by obtaining credit with liquidity  supports.  These
may include lines of credit,  which are  conditional  commitments  to lend,  and
letters of credit, which will ordinarily be irrevocable, both issued by domestic
banks or foreign  banks which have a branch,  agency or subsidiary in the United
States.  When  considering  whether  an  obligation  meets  the  Fund's  quality
standards, the Investment Adviser will look at the creditworthiness of the party
providing the right to sell as well as to the quality of the obligation itself.

         Municipal  securities may be issued to finance private activities,  the
interest  from which is an item of tax  preference  for  purposes of the federal
alternative  minimum tax. Such "private activity" bonds might include industrial
development  revenue  bonds,  and bonds issued to finance such projects as solid
waste disposal facilities, student loans or water and sewage projects

         Other Asset-Backed Securities.
The  Fund  may  invest in  other  asset-backed securities (unrelated to
mortgage    loans) including   securities   backed   by
automobile  loans  and  credit  card receivables.

         Repurchase Agreements. When participating in repurchase agreements, the
Fund buys  securities  from a vendor (e.g., a bank or securities  firm) with the
agreement that the vendor will  repurchase the securities at the same price plus
interest at a later date.  Repurchase  agreements may be  characterized as loans
secured by the underlying  securities.  Such transactions  afford an opportunity
for the Fund to earn a return on available cash at minimal market risk, although
the Fund may be  subject  to  various  delays  and  risks of loss if the  vendor
becomes subject to a proceeding  under the U.S.  Bankruptcy Code or is otherwise
unable  to meet its  obligation  to  repurchase.  The  securities  underlying  a
repurchase  agreement  will be marked to market  every  business day so that the
value of such securities is at least equal to the value of the repurchase  price
thereof, including the accrued interest thereon.

         In addition,  repurchase  agreements may also involve the securities of
certain foreign  governments in which there is an active repurchase  market. The
Investment  Adviser  expects  that such  repurchase  agreements  will  primarily
involve  government  securities of countries  belonging to the  Organization for
Economic   Cooperation  and  Development   ("OECD").   Transactions  in  foreign
repurchase agreements may involve additional risks.

         U.S.  Treasury  and  U.S.  Government    Agency     Securities.
U.S.  Government  Securities include instruments   issued   by  the  U.S.
Treasury,   including  bills,  notes and  bonds.  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.    In   addition,    U.S.
Government Securities include securities issued by instrumentalities of the
U.S. Government,  such as the  Government National    Mortgage     Association
("GNMA"),  which are also  backed by the full  faith  and  credit  of the
United   States.   U.S.   Government Agency      Securities       include
instruments issued by instrumentalities established or sponsored  by the  U.S.
Government, such as the Student  Loan  Marketing Association  ("SLMA"),  the
Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA")  and the Federal  Home Loan
Mortgage   Corporation    ("FHLMC").  While these  securities  are issued,
in general,  under the  authority of an  Act  of   Congress,   the   U.S.
Government   is  not   obligated  to provide  financial  support  to  the
issuing instrumentalities.

         Variable  Amount  Master Demand  Notes.  Variable  amount master demand
notes permit the investment of fluctuating  amounts at varying rates of interest
pursuant to direct  arrangements  between the Fund (as lender) and the borrower.
These notes are direct lending arrangements  between lenders and borrowers,  and
are generally not transferable,  nor are they ordinarily rated by either Moody's
Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor's Corporation, Fitch Investors Service,
Inc., or Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co.

          Zero Coupon Securities and Custodial Receipts.  Zero coupon securities
include securities issued directly by the U.S. Treasury, and U.S. Treasury bonds
or notes and their unmatured  interest coupons and receipts for their underlying
principal (the "coupons") which have been separated by their holder, typically a
custodian bank or investment brokerage firm. A holder will separate the interest
coupons  from the  underlying  principal  (the  "corpus")  of the U.S.  Treasury
security.  A number of  securities  firms and banks have  stripped  the interest
coupons and receipts and then resold them in custodial  receipt  programs with a
number of different names, including "Treasury Income Growth Receipts" ("TIGRS")
and  "Certificate  of Accrual  on  Treasuries"  ("CATS").  The  underlying  U.S.
Treasury bonds and notes  themselves are held in book-entry  form at the Federal
Reserve Bank or, in the case of bearer securities (i.e., unregistered securities
which are owned ostensibly by the bearer or holder thereof),  in trust on behalf
of the owners  thereof.  Counsel to the  underwriters  of these  certificates or
other  evidences of ownership of the U.S.  Treasury  securities have stated that
for Federal tax and  securities law purposes,  in their  opinion,  purchasers of
such  certificates,  such as the Fund, most likely will be deemed the beneficial
holders of the underlying U.S. Treasury securities.

         Recently,    the   Treasury has    facilitated    transfer    of
ownership     of     zero     coupon securities       by       accounting
separately    for   the   beneficial ownership  of  particular   interest
coupon   and  corpus   payments   on Treasury   securities   through  the
Federal      Reserve      book-entry record-keeping      system.      The
Federal     Reserve    program    as established    by    the    Treasury
Department  is  known  as  "Separate Trading of  Registered  Interest and
Principal       of       Securities" ("STRIPS").    Under   the    STRIPS
program,  the  Fund  can be  able to have  its  beneficial  ownership  of
zero  coupon   securities   recorded directly    in    the     book-entry
record-keeping  system  in  lieu  of holding    certificates   or   other
evidences   of   ownership   of  the underlying       U.S.       Treasury
securities.

         When U.S.  Treasury  obligations  have been stripped of their unmatured
interest  coupons  by the  holder,  the  principal  or  corpus is sold at a deep
discount  because the buyer  receives  only the right to receive a future  fixed
payment on the  security  and does not receive  any rights to periodic  interest
(cash) payments. Once stripped or separated,  the corpus and coupons may be sold
separately.  Typically,  the coupons are sold  separately  or grouped with other
coupons with like maturity  dates and sold in such bundled  form.  Purchasers of
stripped  obligations   acquire,  in  effect,   discount  obligations  that  are
economically  identical to the zero coupon  securities  that the Treasury  sells
itself.


  SUPPLEMENTAL DISCUSSION OF RISKS
     ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUND'S
 INVESTMENT POLICIES AND INVESTMENT
             TECHNIQUES

The risks  associated  with the different  types of securities in which the Fund
may invest are  described in the  Prospectus  under "Risks  Associated  With the
Fund's Investment Policies and Investment  Techniques."  Additional  information
concerning  risks  associated  with certain of a Portfolio's  investments is set
forth below. Each Portfolio of the Fund is permitted to invest in the same types
of  securities.  Any  reference  to the term Fund in the  following  section  is
intended to include both Portfolios of the Fund.


         Eurodollar and Yankee  Obligations.  Eurodollar and Yankee  obligations
are subject to the same risks that pertain to domestic  issues,  notably  credit
risk, market risk and liquidity risk. Additionally, Eurodollar (and to a limited
extent,  Yankee)  obligations are subject to certain  sovereign  risks. One such
risk is the possibility that a sovereign  country might prevent capital,  in the
form of dollars, from flowing across their borders. Other risks include: adverse
political  and  economic  developments;  the  extent and  quality of  government
regulation  of financial  markets and  institutions;  the  imposition of foreign
withholding taxes; and the expropriation or nationalization of foreign issuers.

         Futures  contracts.  The Fund may enter into contracts for the purchase
or sale for future delivery (a "futures contract") of fixed-income securities or
foreign currencies,  or contracts based on financial indices including any index
of U.S. Government  Securities,  foreign government securities or corporate debt
securities.  U.S.  futures  contracts have been designed by exchanges which have
been designated as "contracts markets" by the CFTC, and must be executed through
a futures  commission  merchant,  or  brokerage  firm,  which is a member of the
relevant  contract  market.  Futures  contracts  trade on a number  of  exchange
markets and,  through  their  clearing  corporations,  the  exchanges  guarantee
performance  of the  contracts as between the clearing  members of the exchange.
The Fund will enter into  futures  contracts  that are based on debt  securities
that are  backed by the full faith and  credit of the U.S.  Government,  such as
long-term  U.S.  Treasury  Bonds,  Treasury  Notes,  GNMA-modified  pass-through
mortgage-backed securities and three-month U.S. Treasury Bills.

         The Fund would purchase or sell futures contracts to attempt to protect
the U.S. dollar-equivalent value of its securities from fluctuations in interest
or foreign  exchange  rates  without  actually  buying or selling  securities or
foreign  currency.  For  example,  if the Fund  expected  the value of a foreign
currency to increase against the U.S. dollar,  the Fund might enter into futures
contracts  for the sale of that  currency.  Such a sale would have much the same
effect as selling an equivalent value of foreign  currency.  If the currency did
increase,  the value of the securities in the portfolio  would decline,  but the
value of the futures  contracts to the Fund would increase at approximately  the
same rate,  thereby  keeping the net asset value of the Fund from  declining  as
much as it otherwise would have.

         Although futures  contracts by their terms call for the actual delivery
or  acquisition  of  securities  or  currency,  in most  cases  the  contractual
obligation is fulfilled  before the date of the contract  without having to make
or take delivery of the securities or currency.  The offsetting of a contractual
obligation  is  accomplished  by buying  (or  selling,  as the case may be) on a
commodities  exchange an identical  futures contract calling for delivery in the
same  month.  Such a  transaction,  which is  effected  through  a member  of an
exchange,  cancels the  obligation to make or take delivery of the securities or
currency.  Since all  transactions  in the  futures  market are made,  offset or
fulfilled  through a  clearinghouse  associated  with the  exchange on which the
contracts are traded,  the Fund will incur  brokerage  fees when it purchases or
sells futures contracts.

         At the time a futures  contract  is  purchased  or sold,  the Fund must
allocate cash or  securities  as a deposit  payment  ("initial  margin").  It is
expected that the initial margin on U.S.  exchanges may range from approximately
3% to approximately 15% of the value of the securities or commodities underlying
the contract.  Under  certain  circumstances,  however,  such as periods of high
volatility, the Fund may be required by an exchange to increase the level of its
initial  margin  payment.  Additionally,  initial  margin  requirements  may  be
increased  generally in the future by regulatory action. An outstanding  futures
contract is valued  daily and the payment in cash of  "variation  margin" may be
required,  a process known as "marking to the market." Each day the Fund will be
required to provide (or will be  entitled  to  receive)  variation  margin in an
amount equal to any decline (in the case of a long futures position) or increase
(in the case of a short  futures  position)  in the  contract's  value since the
preceding day.

         Futures  contracts  entail  special  risks.  Among  other  things,  the
ordinary  spreads  between  values  in the  cash  and  futures  markets,  due to
differences  in the  character  of these  markets,  are  subject to  distortions
relating to (1)  investors'  obligations  to meet  additional  variation  margin
requirements,  (2) decisions to make or take delivery, rather than entering into
offsetting  transactions and (3) the difference  between margin  requirements in
the securities  markets and margin deposit  requirements  in the futures market.
The  possibility  of such  distortion  means that a correct  forecast of general
market,  foreign exchange rate or interest rate trends by the Investment Adviser
may still not result in a successful transaction.

         Although the Investment Adviser believes that use of such contracts and
options  thereon will benefit the Fund,  if the  Investment  Adviser's  judgment
about the general  direction of securities  market  movements,  foreign exchange
rates or interest rates is incorrect,  the Fund's overall  performance  would be
poorer  than if it had not  entered  into any such  contracts  or  purchased  or
written  options  thereon.  For  example,  if the Fund had  hedged  against  the
possibility  of an increase in interest rates which would  adversely  affect the
price of debt  securities  held in its  portfolio and interest  rates  decreased
instead,  the Fund would lose part or all of the benefit of the increased  value
of its assets which it had hedged because it would have offsetting losses in its
futures positions. In addition, particularly in such situations, if the Fund has
insufficient  cash,  it may have to sell assets from its portfolio to meet daily
variation  margin  requirements.  Any  such  sale of  assets  may,  but will not
necessarily,   be  at  increased   prices  which  reflect  the  rising   market.
Consequently,  the  Fund  may  have  to  sell  assets  at a time  when it may be
disadvantageous to do so.

         The Fund's  ability to  establish  and close out  positions  in futures
contracts and options on futures  contracts  will be subject to the  development
and maintenance of a liquid market. Although the Fund generally will purchase or
sell only those futures contracts and options thereon for which there appears to
be a liquid  market,  there is no assurance  that a liquid market on an exchange
will  exist  for any  particular  futures  contract  or  option  thereon  at any
particular time.  Where it is not possible to effect a closing  transaction in a
contract to do so at a satisfactory  price,  the Fund would have to make or take
delivery  under the  futures  contract  or, in the case of a  purchased  option,
exercise the option.  In the case of a futures  contract  that the Fund has sold
and is unable to close  out,  the Fund  would be  required  to  maintain  margin
deposits on the futures contract and to make variation margin payments until the
contract is closed.

         Under certain  circumstances,  exchanges may establish  daily limits in
the amount that the price of a futures  contract or related option  contract may
vary either up or down from the previous day's settlement  price. Once the daily
limit has been reached in a particular contract,  no trades may be made that day
at a price  beyond that  limit.  The daily limit  governs  only price  movements
during a particular  trading day and therefore does not limit  potential  losses
because the limit may prevent the liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Futures
or options contract prices could move to the daily limit for several consecutive
trading days with little or no trading and thereby prevent prompt liquidation of
positions and subject some traders to substantial losses.

         Buyers and sellers of foreign currency futures contracts are subject to
the same risks that apply to the use of futures  generally.  In addition,  there
are risks associated with foreign  currency  futures  contracts and their use as
hedging devices similar to those  associated with options on foreign  currencies
described above. Further, settlement of a foreign currency futures contract must
occur within the country  issuing the underlying  currency.  Thus, the Fund must
accept or make delivery of the underlying  foreign  currency in accordance  with
any U.S. or foreign  restrictions  or regulations  regarding the  maintenance of
foreign banking  arrangements  by U.S.  residents and may be required to pay any
fees,  taxes or charges  associated  with such delivery that are assessed in the
country of the underlying currency.

         Illiquid and  Restricted  Securities.  Under the 1940 Act, the Fund may
invest up to 15% of the value of its assets in illiquid assets.  Illiquid assets
are investments that are difficult to sell at the price at which such assets are
valued by the Fund  within  seven  days of the date a  decision  to sell them is
made. Securities treated as illiquid assets include:  over-the-counter  options;
repurchase  agreements,  time deposits, and dollar roll transactions maturing in
more than seven days; loan participations;  securities without readily available
market quotations, including interests in private commingled investment vehicles
in which the Fund might invest; and certain restricted securities.  Iliiquid and
restricted  securities,  including private placements,  are generally subject to
legal or contractual  restrictions on resale.  They can be eligible for purchase
without SEC registration by certain institutional  investors known as "qualified
institutional buyers."

         The Board of  Directors  of the Fund may  consider  certain  restricted
securities  (including but not limited to Rule 144A and Section 4(2)  commercial
paper) liquid if such  securities  meet  specified  criteria  established by the
Fund's Board of  Directors.  Due to the absence of an organized  market for such
securities,  interim valuations of the market value of illiquid  securities used
in calculating  Fund net asset values for purchases and  redemptions can diverge
substantially  from  their  true  value,   notwithstanding  the  application  of
appraisal  methods  deemed  appropriate  and prudent by the Fund's Board and the
Fund's   independent   accountants.   Due  to  possible   restrictions   on  the
transferability of illiquid securities, forced liquidation of such securities to
meet  redemption  requests  could produce large losses.  Although,  the 1940 Act
permits  the Fund to invest up to 15% of its  assets  in these  securities;  the
Investment Adviser does not anticipate investing over 5% of the Fund's assets in
these securities.

         Mortgage and Other Asset-Backed Securities.  Prepayments on securitized
assets  such  as  mortgages,   automobile  loans  and  credit  card  receivables
("Securitized  Assets")  generally  increase  with  falling  interest  rates and
decrease  with  rising  interest  rates;   furthermore,   prepayment  rates  are
influenced  by a variety  of  economic  and  social  factors.  In  general,  the
collateral  supporting  non-mortgage   asset-backed  securities  is  of  shorter
maturity  than  mortgage  loans  and is less  likely to  experience  substantial
prepayments.  In  addition  to  prepayment  risk,  borrowers  on the  underlying
Securitized  Assets may  default in their  payments  creating  delays or loss of
principal.

         Non-mortgage asset-backed securities involve certain risks that are not
presented by mortgage-backed securities. Primarily, these securities do not have
the benefit of a security  interest in assets  underlying  the related  mortgage
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  servicers  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.  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 an effective security interest in all of the
obligations  backing such  receivables.  Therefore,  there is a possibility that
recoveries on  repossessed  collateral  may not, in some cases,  be available to
support payments on these securities.

         Some  forms of  asset-backed  securities  are  relatively  new forms of
investments.  Although the Fund will only invest in asset-backed securities that
the Investment  Adviser  believes are liquid,  because the market  experience in
certain  of these  securities  is  limited,  the  market's  ability  to  sustain
liquidity through all phases of a market cycle may not have been tested.

Options    on   Foreign   Currencies.
The     Fund    may purchase  and sell (or  write)  put and   call   options
on   foreign currencies  to  protect  against  a decline in the U.S.
dollar-equivalent   value   of  its portfolio  securities  or  payments
due  thereon  or a rise in the U.S. dollar-equivalent      cost      of
securities   that  it   intends  to purchase.  A foreign  currency  put
option   grants   the   holder  the right,  but not the obligation,  at
a future  date to sell a  specified amount  of a  foreign  currency  to
its  counterparty at  a predetermined  price.   Conversely,
a  foreign   currency  call  option grants the  holder  the right,  but
not  the  obligation,  to  purchase at  a  future   date  a   specified
amount of a foreign  currency  at a predetermined price.

         As in the  case of other  types of  options,  the  benefit  to the Fund
deriving  from the purchase of foreign  currency  options will be reduced by the
amount of the premium and related transaction costs. In addition, where currency
exchange  rates do not move in the direction or to the extent  anticipated,  the
Fund could sustain  losses on  transactions  in foreign  currency  options which
would  require it to forego a portion  or all of the  benefits  of  advantageous
changes in such rates.

         The Fund may write options on foreign  currencies for hedging purposes.
For example, where the Fund anticipates a decline in the dollar value of foreign
currency denominated securities due to adverse fluctuations in exchange rates it
could,  instead of purchasing a put option,  write a call option on the relevant
currency.  If the expected  decline  occurs,  the option will most likely not be
exercised,  and the decrease in value of portfolio  securities will be offset by
the amount of the premium received.

         Similarly,  instead of  purchasing  a call  option to hedge  against an
anticipated increase in the dollar costs of securities to be acquired,  the Fund
could write a put option on the relevant  currency  which,  if rates move in the
manner  projected,  will  expire  unexercised  and allow the Fund to hedge  such
increased  costs up to the amount of the premium.  As in the case of other types
of options,  however,  the writing of a foreign  currency option will constitute
only a partial hedge up to the amount of the premium,  and only if rates move in
the  expected  direction.  If this  movement  does not occur,  the option may be
exercised  and the Fund would be required  to  purchase  or sell the  underlying
currency at a loss which may not be fully  offset by the amount of the  premium.
Through  the  writing of options  on  foreign  currencies,  the Fund also may be
required to forego all or a portion of the benefits  that might  otherwise  have
been obtained from favorable movements in exchange rates.

         Options  on  Futures  Contracts.  The  purchase  of a call  option on a
futures contract is similar in some respects to the purchase of a call option on
an  individual  security  or  currency.  Depending  on the pricing of the option
compared to either the price of the futures  contract  upon which it is based or
the price of the  underlying  securities or currency,  it may or may not be less
risky than  ownership of the futures  contract or the  underlying  securities or
currency. As with the purchase of futures contracts,  when the Fund is not fully
invested it may purchase a call option on a futures  contract to hedge against a
market advance due to declining  interest rates or a change in foreign  exchange
rates.

         The  writing  of a call  option on a  futures  contract  constitutes  a
partial hedge against declining prices of the security or foreign currency which
is deliverable  upon exercise of the futures  contract.  If the futures price at
expiration of the option is below the exercise  price,  the Fund will retain the
full amount of the option  premium  which  provides a partial  hedge against any
decline that may have occurred in the Fund's portfolio holdings.  The writing of
a  put  option  on a  futures  contract  constitutes  a  partial  hedge  against
increasing  prices of the security or foreign currency which is deliverable upon
exercise of the futures  contract.  If the futures  price at  expiration  of the
option is higher than the exercise  price,  the Fund will retain the full amount
of the option premium which provides a partial hedge against any increase in the
price of securities which the Fund intends to purchase.  If a put or call option
the Fund has  written  is  exercised,  the Fund  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 futures  positions,  the Fund's losses from existing options
on futures may to some extent be reduced or increased by changes in the value of
portfolio securities.

         The  purchase of a put option on a futures  contract is similar in some
respects to the purchase of protective put options on portfolio securities.  For
example,  the Fund may purchase a put option on a futures  contract to hedge its
portfolio against the risk of rising interest rates.

         The amount of risk the Fund  assumes  when it  purchases an option on a
futures  contract is the premium  paid for the option plus  related  transaction
costs. In addition to the correlation  risks discussed above, the purchase of an
option also entails the risk that changes in the value of the underlying futures
contract will not be fully reflected in the value of the option purchased.

         Options on foreign  currency  futures  contracts  may  involve  certain
additional  risks.  Trading  options on foreign  currency  futures  contracts is
relatively new. The ability to establish and close out positions in such options
is subject to the  maintenance of a liquid  secondary  market.  To mitigate this
problem, the Fund will not purchase or write options on foreign currency futures
contracts unless and until, in the Investment  Adviser's opinion, the market for
such options has developed  sufficiently  that the risks in connection with such
options are not greater than the risks in connection  with  transactions  in the
underlying foreign currency futures contracts.  Compared to the purchase or sale
of foreign  currency  futures  contracts,  the  purchase  of call or put options
thereon  involves less  potential risk to the Fund because the maximum amount at
risk is the premium paid for the option (plus transaction costs). However, there
may be  circumstances  when the  purchase  of a call or put  option on a foreign
currency  futures  contract  would  result in a loss,  such as when  there is no
movement in the price of the underlying  currency or futures contract,  when use
of the underlying futures contract would not.

         Options  on  Securities.  The Fund may also  enter  into  closing  sale
transactions  with  respect  to  options  it has  purchased.  A put  option on a
security grants the holder the right,  but not the obligation,  at a future date
to sell the security to its counterparty at a predetermined price. Conversely, a
call option on a security  grants the holder the right,  but not the obligation,
to  purchase  at  a  future  date  the  security  underlying  the  option  at  a
predetermined price.

         The Fund would  normally  purchase  put  options in  anticipation  of a
decline in the market value of  securities  in its  portfolio or  securities  it
intends to  purchase.  If the Fund  purchased  a put option and the value of the
security in fact declined  below the strike price of the option,  the Fund would
have the right to sell that  security to its  counterparty  for the strike price
(or realize the value of the option by entering into a closing transaction), and
consequently  would protect itself against any further  decrease in the value of
the security during the term of the option.

         Conversely,  if the Investment Adviser anticipates that a security that
it  intends  to  acquire  will  increase  in value,  it might  cause the Fund to
purchase a call option on that security or securities  similar to that security.
If the value of the security does rise,  the call option may wholly or partially
offset the  increased  price of the  security.  As in the case of other types of
options,  however,  the benefit to the Fund will be reduced by the amount of the
premium  paid to purchase  the option and any  related  transaction  costs.  If,
however,  the value of the security  fell  instead of rose,  the Fund would have
foregone a portion of the benefit of the decreased  price of the security in the
amount of the option premium and the related transaction costs.

         The Fund would purchase put and call options on securities  indices for
the same  purposes  as it would  purchase  options  on  securities.  Options  on
securities  indices are similar to options on securities except that the options
reflect the change in price of a group of  securities  rather than an individual
security and the exercise of options on  securities  indices are settled in cash
rather than by delivery of the securities  comprising  the index  underlying the
option.

         Transactions  by the  Fund in  options  on  securities  and  securities
indices  will  be  governed  by the  rules  and  regulations  of the  respective
exchanges,  boards of trade or other trading facilities on which the options are
traded.

         Considerations  Concerning Options.  The writer of an option receives a
premium  which it retains  regardless  of whether the option is  exercised.  The
purchaser  of a call option has the right,  for a specified  period of time,  to
purchase the securities or currency  subject to the option at a specified  price
(the "exercise  price").  By writing a call option, the writer becomes obligated
during  the  term of the  option,  upon  exercise  of the  option,  to sell  the
underlying  securities  or  currency  to the  purchaser  against  receipt of the
exercise price. The writer of a call option also loses the potential for gain on
the  underlying  securities  or currency in excess of the exercise  price of the
option during the period that the option is open.

         Conversely,  the  purchaser  of a  put  option  has  the  right,  for a
specified  period of time,  to sell the  securities  or currency  subject to the
option to the writer of the put at the specified exercise price. The writer of a
put option is  obligated  during the term of the  option,  upon  exercise of the
option, to purchase securities or currency underlying the option at the exercise
price.  A writer  might,  therefore,  be obligated  to purchase  the  underlying
securities or currency for more than their current  market price or U.S.  dollar
value, respectively.

         The Fund may  purchase and sell both  exchange-traded  and OTC options.
Currently,  although many options on equity securities and options on currencies
are  exchange-traded,  options on debt  securities  are primarily  traded in the
over-the-counter  market. The writer of an exchange-traded option that wishes to
terminate its obligation may effect a "closing  purchase  transaction."  This is
accomplished  by buying an option of the same  series as the  option  previously
written.  Options  of the same  series  are  options  with  respect  to the same
underlying  security or currency,  having the same  expiration date and the same
exercise  price.  Likewise,  an  investor  who is the  holder of an  option  may
liquidate  a  position  by  effecting  a  "closing  sale  transaction."  This is
accomplished  by selling an option of the same  series as the option  previously
purchased.  There is no  guarantee  that either a closing  purchase or a closing
sale transaction can be effected.

         An  exchange-traded  option position may be closed out only where there
exists a  secondary  market  for an option of the same  series.  For a number of
reasons,  a  secondary  market may not exist for  options  held by the Fund,  or
trading in such options  might be limited or halted by the exchange on which the
option is  trading,  in which case it might not be  possible  to effect  closing
transactions  in particular  options the Fund has purchased with the result that
the Fund would have to exercise  the options in order to realize any profit.  If
the Fund is  unable  to effect a closing  purchase  transaction  in a  secondary
market  in an  option  the  Fund  has  written,  it will not be able to sell the
underlying  security  or  currency  until the  option  expires  or  deliver  the
underlying security or currency upon exercise or otherwise cover its position.

         Exchange-traded  options in the United  States are issued by a clearing
organization  affiliated  with the exchange on which the option is listed which,
in effect, guarantees every exchange-traded option transaction. In contrast, OTC
options are  contracts  between the Fund and its  counterparty  with no clearing
organization guarantee.  Thus, when the Fund purchases OTC options, it relies on
the dealer from which it  purchased  the OTC option to make or take  delivery of
the  securities  underlying  the  option.  Failure  by the dealer to do so would
result  in the loss of the  premium  paid by the Fund as well as the loss of the
expected benefit of the transaction.  The Investment  Adviser will only purchase
options from dealers determined by the Investment Adviser to be creditworthy.

         Exchange-traded  options  generally  have a  continuous  liquid  market
whereas OTC options may not.  Consequently,  the Fund will  generally be able to
realize the value of an OTC option it has  purchased  only by  exercising  it or
reselling it to the dealer who issued it. Similarly, when the Fund writes an OTC
option,  it  generally  will be able to close  out the OTC  option  prior to its
expiration only by entering into a closing purchase  transaction with the dealer
to which the Fund originally wrote the OTC option.  Although the Fund will enter
into OTC  options  only with  dealers  that  agree to enter  into,  and that are
expected to be capable of entering  into,  closing  transactions  with the Fund,
there can be no assurance  that the Fund will be able to liquidate an OTC option
at a favorable price at any time prior to expiration.  Until the Fund is able to
effect a closing purchase  transaction in a covered OTC call option the Fund has
written,  it will not be able to  liquidate  securities  used as cover until the
option expires or is exercised or different cover is  substituted.  In the event
of  insolvency of the  counterparty,  the Fund may be unable to liquidate an OTC
option.  In the case of options written by the Fund, the inability to enter into
a closing  purchase  transaction  may result in material losses to the Fund. For
example,  since the Fund must  maintain a covered  position  with respect to any
call option on a security  it writes,  the Fund may be limited in its ability to
sell the underlying  security while the option is  outstanding.  This may impair
the Fund's ability to sell the Fund security at a time when such a sale might be
advantageous.

         There is no systematic  reporting of last sale  information for foreign
currencies or any  regulatory  requirement  that  quotations  available  through
dealers or other market sources be firm or revised on a timely basis.  Quotation
information available is generally  representative of very large transactions in
the interbank market and thus may not reflect  relatively  smaller  transactions
(i.e.,  less than $1 million) where rates may be less  favorable.  The interbank
market in foreign currencies is a global, around-the-clock market. To the extent
that the U.S.  options  markets are closed while the markets for the  underlying
currencies  remain open,  significant price and rate movements may take place in
the underlying markets that cannot be reflected in the options market until they
reopen.  Because foreign currency transactions occurring in the interbank market
involve  substantially larger amounts than those that may be involved in the use
of foreign currency options, investors may be disadvantaged by having to deal in
an odd lot market (generally consisting of transactions of less than $1 million)
for the underlying foreign currencies at prices that are less favorable than for
round lots.

         The use of  options to hedge the  Fund's  foreign  currency-denominated
portfolio, or to enhance return raises additional  considerations.  As described
above, the Fund may, among other things,  purchase call options on securities it
intends to acquire in order to hedge against  anticipated market appreciation in
the price of the  underlying  security  or  currency.  If the market  price does
increase as  anticipated,  the Fund will benefit from that  increase but only to
the extent that the increase  exceeds the premium  paid and related  transaction
costs.  If the  anticipated  rise  does not occur or if it does not  exceed  the
amount of the  premium  and related  transaction  costs,  the Fund will bear the
expense of the options  without  gaining an  offsetting  benefit.  If the market
price of the underlying  currency or securities should fall instead of rise, the
benefit the Fund obtains from  purchasing  the currency or securities at a lower
price will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the call options and
by transaction costs.

         The Fund also may  purchase  put  options on  currencies  or  portfolio
securities  when it believes a defensive  posture is  warranted.  Protection  is
provided  during  the life of a put  option  because  the put gives the Fund the
right to sell the  underlying  currency or security at the put  exercise  price,
regardless of a decline in the underlying  currency's or security's market price
below  the  exercise  price.  This  right  limits  the  Fund's  losses  from the
currency's or security's  possible  decline in value below the exercise price of
the option to the premium paid for the option and related  transaction costs. If
the market  price of the  currency  or the Fund's  securities  should  increase,
however,  the profit that the Fund might otherwise have realized will be reduced
by the amount of the premium paid for the put option and by transaction costs.

         The value of an option position will reflect,  among other things,  the
current market price of the underlying currency or security,  the time remaining
until  expiration,  the  relationship of the exercise price to the market price,
the  historical  price  volatility  of the  underlying  currency or security and
general market  conditions.  For this reason, the successful use of options as a
hedging strategy depends upon the ability of the Investment  Adviser to forecast
the direction of price  fluctuations  in the  underlying  currency or securities
market.

         Options  normally  have  expiration  dates  of up to nine  months.  The
exercise price of the options may be below, equal to or above the current market
values of the  underlying  securities  or  currency  at the time the options are
written.  Options  purchased by the Fund that expire  unexercised have no value,
and  therefore a loss will be  realized  in the amount of the premium  paid (and
related  transaction  costs). If an option purchased by the Fund is in-the-money
prior to its  expiration  date,  unless the Fund  exercises the option or enters
into a closing  transaction  with  respect to that  position,  the Fund will not
realize any gain on its option position.

         The  Fund's  activities  in the  options  market  may  result in higher
portfolio turnover rates and additional brokerage costs. Nevertheless,  the Fund
may also save on  commissions  and  transaction  costs by hedging  through  such
activities  rather than buying or selling  securities  or foreign  currencies in
anticipation of market moves or foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

         Repurchase  Agreements.  The  use  of  repurchase  agreements  involves
certain  risks.  For example,  if the seller of the  agreements  defaults on its
obligation to repurchase the  underlying  securities at a time when the value of
these  securities  has declined,  the Fund may incur a loss upon  disposition of
them.  If  the  seller  of  the  agreement  becomes  insolvent  and  subject  to
liquidation  or  reorganization  under  the  Bankruptcy  Code or other  laws,  a
bankruptcy court may determine that the underlying securities are collateral not
within the control of the Fund and  therefore  subject to sale by the trustee in
bankruptcy.  Finally,  it  is  possible  that  the  Fund  may  not  be  able  to
substantiate  its  interest  in the  underlying  securities.  While  the  Fund's
management  acknowledges these risks, it is expected that they can be controlled
through stringent security selection criteria and careful monitoring procedures.


      INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The Fund has adopted the  investment  restrictions  listed below relating to the
investment  of each  Portfolio of the Fund's  assets and its  activities.  These
investment  restrictions  apply  to  each  Portfolio  of  the  Fund.  These  are
fundamental policies that may not be changed without the approval of the holders
of a majority of the outstanding  voting  securities of the Fund (which for this
purpose  and  under  the 1940 Act  means  the  lesser  of (i) 67% of the  shares
represented  at a meeting at which more than 50% of the  outstanding  shares are
represented or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding  shares). The Fund may not:
(1) borrow money,  including  entering into reverse repurchase  agreements;  (2)
make loans except that it may enter into repurchase agreements; (3) issue senior
securities;  (4) purchase securities on margin (although deposits referred to as
"margin" will be made in connection with  investments in futures  contracts,  as
explained  above,  and the Fund may  obtain  such  short-term  credits as may be
necessary  for  the  clearance  of  purchases  and  sales  of  securities);  (5)
underwrite  securities of other issuers; (6) invest in companies for the purpose
of  exercising  control or  management;  (7) purchase or sell real estate (other
than  marketable  securities  representing  interests  in,  or backed  by,  real
estate);  or (8)  purchase or sell  physical  commodities  or related  commodity
contracts.

Whenever an investment policy or limitation  states a maximum  percentage of the
Fund's  assets that may be invested in any security or other asset or sets forth
a policy regarding  quality  standards,  such standard or percentage  limitation
shall be determined  immediately after and as a result of the Fund's acquisition
of such security or other asset. Accordingly,  any later increase or decrease in
a  percentage   resulting  from  a  change  in  values,   net  assets  or  other
circumstances  will not be considered when  determining  whether that investment
complies with the Fund's investment policies and limitations.

The Fund's  investment  policies  (other than its investment  objective) are not
fundamental and may be changed by the Board of Directors of the Fund without the
approval of shareholders.

         Illiquid Securities. The staff of the Commission has taken the position
that  purchased OTC options and the assets used as cover for written OTC options
are illiquid  securities.  Therefore,  the Fund has adopted an investment policy
pursuant to which it  generally  will not  purchase or sell OTC options if, as a
result of such transaction, the sum of the market value of OTC options currently
outstanding  that are  held by the  Fund,  the  market  value of the  underlying
securities  covered by OTC call options currently  outstanding that were sold by
the Fund and margin  deposits  on the  Fund's  existing  OTC  options on futures
contracts  exceed  15% of the net  assets  of the Fund,  taken at market  value,
together  with all  other  assets  of the  Fund  that  are  illiquid  or are not
otherwise readily  marketable.  This investment policy applies to each Portfolio
of the Fund.  This policy as to OTC options is not a  fundamental  policy of the
Fund and may be amended by the Directors of the Fund without the approval of the
Fund's or the Fund's  shareholders.  However, the Fund will not change or modify
this policy prior to a change or  modification  by the  Commission  staff of its
position.





         PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

         Each  Portfolio  of the Fund  may  engage  in  portfolio  trading  when
considered  appropriate,  but short-term trading will not be used as the primary
means of achieving its investment objective.  The portfolio turnover rate of the
Fixed Income Fund for the period ended October 31, 1998 was 478%. However, there
are no limits on the rate of portfolio  turnover,  and  investments  may be sold
without  regard to length of time held when,  in the  opinion of the  Investment
Adviser,  investment  considerations  warrant  such  actions.  Higher  portfolio
turnover rates, such as rates in excess of 400%, and short-term  trading involve
correspondingly  greater commission  expenses and transactions  costs.  Further,
high turnover rates, such as rates in excess of 400%, generate higher short-term
capital  gains.  For a more  detailed  description  of  short-term  capital gain
treatment, please refer to the section entitled "Tax Considerations."

       PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

         The debt  securities  in which each  Portfolio  of the Fund invests are
traded  primarily  in the  over-the-counter  market by dealers  who are  usually
acting as  principal  for their own  account.  On  occasion,  securities  may be
purchased  directly from the issuer.  Such securities are generally  traded on a
net basis and do not normally involve either  brokerage  commissions or transfer
taxes.  Each  Portfolio  of the Fund enters into  financial  futures and options
contracts which normally involve brokerage commissions.

         The cost of executing  transactions  will  consist  primarily of dealer
spreads.  The spread is not  included in the expenses of a Portfolio of the Fund
and  therefore  is  not  subject  to  the  expense  cap  described  above  under
"Investment  Adviser and Advisory  Agreement";  nevertheless,  the incurrence of
this  spread,  ignoring  the  other  intended  positive  effects  of  each  such
transaction, will decrease the total return of the Fund. However, the Investment
Adviser  will buy one  asset and sell  another  only if the  Investment  Adviser
believes  it is  advantageous  to do so  after  considering  the  effect  of the
additional custodial charges and the spread on a Portfolio's total return.

           All purchases and sales will be executed with major dealers and banks
on a best net  price  basis.  No trades  will be  executed  with the  Investment
Adviser,  their  affiliates,  officers or employees acting as principal or agent
for others, although such entities and persons may be trading  contemporaneously
in the same or similar securities.

         For the period beginning December 30, 1997 and ending October 31, 1998,
the amount of brokerage commissions paid by the
Fixed Income Fund was $0.

         TAX CONSIDERATIONS

         The following summary of tax consequences, which does not purport to be
complete,  is based on U.S.  federal tax laws and  regulations  in effect on the
date of this Statement of Additional Information, which are subject to change by
legislative or administrative action.

         Qualification    as    a
Regulated Investment Company

The    Fixed    Income    Fund   has qualified,  and  intends to continue
to  qualify,  to  be  treated  as  a regulated     investment     company
("RIC")  under the Internal  Revenue Code  of  1986,   as  amended   (the
"Code").   The  Intermediate   Fixed Income  Fund  intends  to qualify as
a  RIC.  In  order  for a  Portfolio to qualify  as a RIC it must,  among
other things:
a.       derive at least 90% of its gross
income each taxable  year,  from  dividends,  interest,  payments  (with
     respect  to  securities   loans   and  gains  from  the  sale  or
     other disposition of securities  or foreign currencies)   or  other  income
     (including      gains      from  options,   futures  or  forward
     contracts)   derived  from  its     business   of    investing   in
     securities or foreign currencies  (the  "Qualifying  Income Requirement");
b.       diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each quarter of the
     Portfolio's taxable year:
     i)    at least 50% of the Portfolio's  asset market value is represented by
cash and cash items (including receivables),  U.S.  Government  Securities,
securities of other RICs and other securities,  with such other  securities of
any one issuer  limited to an amount not greater than 5% of the value of the
Portfolio's total assets and not greater than 10% of the outstanding voting
securities of such issuer and
       ii) not more than 25% of the  value of the  Portfolio's  total  assets is
invested  in the  securities  of any one  issuer  (other  than  U.S.  Government
Securities or the securities of other RICs); and
c.   distribute at least 90% of its  investment  company  taxable  income (which
     includes,  among other items,  interest and net short-term capital gains in
     excess of net long-term capital losses).

The U.S.  Treasury  Department  has the  authority  to  promulgate  regulations,
pursuant to which, gains from foreign currency (and options, futures and forward
contracts  on  foreign  currency)  not  directly  related  to a RIC's  principal
business  of  investing  in  stocks  and  securities  would  not be  treated  as
qualifying income. To date, such regulations have not been promulgated.

If a Portfolio does not qualify as a RIC for any taxable year, all of
its taxable income will be taxed to the Portfolio at corporate
rates.  For each taxable year the Portfolio qualifies as a RIC, it
will not be subject to federal income tax on that part of its
investment company taxable income and net capital gains (the excess
of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) it
distributes to its shareholders. In addition, to avoid a
nondeductible 4% federal excise tax, the Portfolio must distribute
during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum
of :
a.       98% of its  ordinary  income (not  taking into  account  any
capital  gains or losses),  determined  on a
     calendar year basis;
b.       98% of its  capital  gains in excess of capital  losses,  determined
in general on an October 31 year-end basis; and any undistributed amounts
from previous years.

Each active  Portfolio  intends to distribute all of its net income and gains by
automatically  reinvesting such income and gains in additional Portfolio shares.
Each active  Portfolio  will  monitor its  compliance  with all of the rules set
forth in the preceding paragraph.


Distributions
The following qualifies as taxable income to Portfolio shareholders:
a.       Portfolio's automatic reinvestment of its ordinary income,
b.       net short-term capital gains and net long-term capital gains in
         additional Portfolio shares, and
c.       distribution of such shares to shareholders.
Generally,   shareholders   will  be treated  as  if  the  Portfolio  had
distributed   income  and  gains  to them  and  then  reinvested  by them
in  Portfolio   shares--even  though no  cash   distributions  have  been
made    to     shareholders.     The automatic  reinvestment  of ordinary
income and net  realized  short-term Portfolio   capital  gains  will  be
taxable    to     shareholders    as ordinary  income.  Each  Portfolio's
automatic  reinvestment  of any  net long-term  capital gains  designated
as  capital  gain  dividends  by the Portfolio  will  be  taxable  to the
shareholders  as  long-term  capital gain.  This is the  case  regardless
of how long  they  have  held  their shares.    None   of   the   amounts
treated   as    distributed   to   a Portfolio's   shareholders  will  be
eligible    for    the     corporate dividends  received   deduction.   A
distribution   will  be  treated  as paid on  December  31 of the current
calendar year, if the Portfolio:
a.       declares it during October, November or December, and
b.       the distribution has a record date in such a month, and
c.       it is paid by the Portfolio  during January of the following  calendar
     year.  Such  distributions  will be
     taxable to shareholders in the calendar year in which the distributions are
     declared,  rather than in the calendar year in which the  distributions are
     received.  Each  Portfolio will inform  shareholders  of the amount and tax
     status of all amounts treated as distributed to them not later than 60 days
     after the close of each calendar year.

Sale of Shares
Upon the sale or other  disposition  of Portfolio  shares,  or upon receipt of a
distribution  in complete  Portfolio  liquidation,  a  shareholder  usually will
realize  a  capital  gain or loss.  This loss may be  long-term  or  short-term,
generally  depending upon the shareholder's  holding period for the shares.  For
tax purposes, a loss will be disallowed on the sale or exchange of shares if the
disposed  of shares  are  replaced  (including  shares  acquired  pursuant  to a
dividend  reinvestment  plan) within a period of 61 days. The 61 day time window
begins  30 days  before  and ends 30 days  after  the sale or  exchange  of such
shares.  Should a disposition  fall within this 61 day window,  the basis of the
acquired  shares will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed  loss. A shareholder
holding  Portfolio  shares  for six  months or longer  will  realize a long term
capital loss on share disposition.  Should such loss occur, to the extent of any
net capital gains distributions deemed received by the shareholder.

Zero Coupon  Securities A Portfolio's  investment in zero coupon securities will
result in Portfolio  income,  equal to a portion of the excess of the  amortized
face  value of the  securities  over their  issue  price  (the  "original  issue
discount"),  prior  amortized  value or  purchased  cost for each  year that the
securities  are held.  This is so,  even though the  Portfolio  receives no cash
interest  payments  during the holding  period.  This  income is  included  when
determining  the amount of income the Portfolio must  distribute to maintain its
status as a RIC and to avoid the payment of Federal income tax and the 4% excise
tax.

Backup  Withholding A Portfolio may be required to withhold U.S.  federal income
tax at the rate of 31% of all amounts  deemed to be  distributed  as a result of
the  automatic  reinvestment  by  the  Portfolio  of its  income  and  gains  in
additional  shares  of the  Portfolio.  The 31%  rate  applies  to  shareholders
receiving redemption payments who:
a.       fail to provide the Portfolio with their correct taxpayer
         identification number;
b.       fail to make required certifications,
c.       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  will be
credited against a shareholder's  U.S.  federal income tax liability.  Corporate
shareholders  and  certain  other  shareholders  are  exempt  from  such  backup
withholding.

Foreign Shareholders
A  foreign  shareholder,  qualifying
as a  non-resident  alien, a foreign
trust     or     estate,     foreign
corporation,        or       foreign
partnership        ("foreign
shareholder")  may  have to pay U.S.
tax   depending   on   whether   the
Portfolio   income  is  "effectively
connected"  with  a  U.S.  trade  or
business.

If    a    foreign     shareholder's
Portfolio  income  not  "effectively
connected"  with  a  U.S.  trade  or
business,   the   distributions   of
investment  company  taxable  income
will  be  subject  to a U.S.  tax of
30% (or lower treaty rate).

If    a    foreign     shareholder's
Portfolio   income  is   effectively
connected   with  a  U.S.  trade  or
business, then:
a.       distributions of investment
         company taxable income,
b.       capital gain dividends, and
c.       any gain realized upon the
redemption, sale or exchange of shares
of the Portfolio
will  be  subject  to  U.S.  Federal
income  tax at the  graduated  rates
applicable   to  U.S.   citizens  or
domestic     corporations.      Such
shareholders  may  also  be  subject
to the branch  profits  tax at a 30%
rate.

The tax consequences to a foreign shareholder  entitled to claim the benefits of
an  applicable  tax treaty  may differ  from  those  described  herein.  Foreign
shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers regarding  investment
tax consequences in a Portfolio.

Other Taxes
A Portfolio may be subject to state,  local or foreign taxes in any jurisdiction
where the  Portfolio  is deemed to be doing  business.  In  addition,  Portfolio
shareholders  may be  subject  to state,  local or  foreign  taxes on  Portfolio
distributions.  In many states, Portfolio distributions derived from interest on
certain U.S.  Government  obligations may be exempt from taxation.  Shareholders
should consult their own tax advisers concerning these matters.

      SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

         Certificates representing shares of each Portfolio of the Fund will not
be issued to shareholders.  Investors Bank & Trust Company,  the Fund's transfer
agent (the "Transfer Agent"), will maintain an account for each shareholder upon
which the  registration  and transfer of shares are recorded,  and any transfers
shall be reflected by bookkeeping  entry,  without physical  delivery.  Detailed
confirmations  of each  purchase  or  redemption  are sent to each  shareholder.
Monthly  statements  of account are sent which  include  shares  purchased  as a
result of a reinvestment of a Portfolio's distributions.

         The Transfer Agent will require that a shareholder  provide requests in
writing,  accompanied by a valid signature guarantee form, when changing certain
information  in an account (i.e.,  wiring  instructions,  telephone  privileges,
etc.).  Neither the Fund,  the  Administrator,  nor the  Transfer  Agent will be
responsible for the validity of written or telephonic requests.

         The Fund  reserves  the  right,  if  conditions  exist  which make cash
payments undesirable,  to honor any request for redemption of the Fund by making
payment in whole or in part in readily marketable  securities chosen by the Fund
and valued as they are for  purposes  of  computing  the Fund's net asset  value
(redemption-in-kind).  If payment is made in securities, a shareholder may incur
transaction expenses in converting the securities to cash.

  ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF
           CAPITAL STOCK

         The Fund was  incorporated on August 4, 1997 as a Maryland  corporation
and is authorized  to issue  2,500,000,000  shares of Common  Stock,  $0.001 par
value. The Fund's shares have no preemptive,  conversion, exchange or redemption
rights.  Each share has equal voting,  dividend,  distribution  and  liquidation
rights. All shares of a class of the Fund, when duly issued,  will be fully paid
and  nonassessable.  Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. All voting
rights for the election of  directors  are  noncumulative,  which means that the
holders  of more than 50% of the shares  can elect  100% of the  Directors  then
nominated  for election if they choose to do so and, in such event,  the holders
of the remaining  shares will not be able to elect any Directors.  The foregoing
description  is subject to the  provisions  contained in the Fund's  Articles of
Incorporation and By-laws.

         The  Board of  Directors  is  authorized  to  reclassify  and issue any
unissued shares of the Fund without shareholder  approval.  Accordingly,  in the
future,  the Directors may create additional series of portfolios with different
investment  objectives,  policies  and  restrictions.  Any issuance of shares of
another series would be governed by the 1940 Act and Maryland law.

         The Fund also issues  another class of shares which may have  different
operating and other expenses.  For more  information  about other classes of the
Fund's shares,  investors should contact the Distributor at the address or phone
number set forth on the cover of this Statement of Additional Information.

  CALCULATION OF PERFORMANCE DATA

         The Fund may, from time to time,  include the yield and total return in
reports to  shareholders or prospective  investors.  Quotations of yield for the
Fund will be based on all investment income per share during a particular 30-day
(or one month) period (including dividends and interest),  less expenses accrued
during the period ("net  investment  income"),  and are computed by dividing net
investment  income by the maximum,  offering  price per share on the last day of
the period,  according  to the  following  formula  which is  prescribed  by the
Commission:

                                           YIELD = 2[( a - b + 1)6 - 1]
                           cd

Where        a =      dividends and interest earned during the period,
             b =      expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements),
             c =      the average  daily  number of Shares of the Fund
                      outstanding  during he period
                      that were entitled to receive dividends, and
             d =      the maximum offering price per share on the last day of
                      the period.

                  Quotations of average annual total return will be expressed in
terms  of the  average  annual  compounded  rate  of  return  of a  hypothetical
investment  in the Fund over periods of 1, 5 and 10 years (up to the life of the
Fund),  calculated  pursuant to the following formula which is prescribed by the
SEC:

                                                   P(1 + T)n = ERV

Where                      P =      a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000,
                           T =      the average annual total return,
                           n =      the number of years, and
                                ERV   =the   ending   redeemable   value   of  a
hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the beginning of the period.

                  All  total  return  figures  assume  that  all  dividends  are
reinvested when paid.


The total return as defined  above for the Fund for the period ended October 31,
1998, and since the  commencement  of operations  (December 30, 1997) to October
31, 1998 is as follows:

Since Inception:  6.87%         (not
annualized)

    QUALITY RATING DESCRIPTIONS

Standard & Poors Corporation

         AAA.  Bonds  rated  AAA are highest   grade  debt   obligations.
This rating  indicates  an extremely strong  capacity  to  pay  principal
and interest.

         AA.  Bonds  rated  AA  also qualify       as        high-quality
obligations.    Capacity    to   pay principal   and   interest  is  very
strong,   and  in  the  majority  of instances   they   differ  from  AAA
issues only in small degree.

         A.  Bonds  rated  A  have a strong  capacity  to  pay  principal
and  interest,   although  they  are more   susceptible  to  the  adverse
effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions.

         BBB.  Bonds rated BBB are regarded as having  adequate  capacity to pay
interest or principal. Although these bonds normally exhibit adequate protection
parameters,  adverse  economic  conditions  or changing  circumstances  are more
likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and principal.

         The ratings AA to D may be modified by the  addition of a plus or minus
sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.

         Municipal  notes  issued  since July 29,  1984 are  designated  "SP-1",
"SP-2", and "SP-3". The designation SP-1 indicates a very strong capacity to pay
principal  and  interest.  A "+" is added to those issues  determined to possess
overwhelming safety characteristics.

         A-1. Standard & Poor's Commercial Paper ratings are current assessments
of the  likelihood of timely  payments of debts having  original  maturity of no
more than 365 days. The A-1 designation indicates the degree of safety regarding
timely payment is very strong.

         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.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc.

         Aaa.  Bonds  which are 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  which are 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  fluctuations  of
protective  elements may be of greater  amplitude or there may be other elements
present  which make the  long-term  risks  appear  somewhat  larger than the Aaa
securities.

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

         Baa. Baa rated bonds are  considered  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.

         Moody's applies 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 its  generic  rating
category.

         Moody's   ratings  for  state  and  municipal   and  other   short-term
obligations  will  be  designated   Moody's   Investment  Grade  ("MIG").   This
distinction is in recognition of the differences  between short-term credit risk
and  long-term  risk.  Factors  affecting  the  liquidity  of the  borrower  are
uppermost in importance in short-term  borrowing,  while various  factors of the
first  importance in long-term  borrowing  risk are of lesser  importance in the
short run.

         MIG-1.  Notes bearing this designation are of the best quality enjoying
strong  protection from  established  cash flows of funds for their servicing or
from established and broad-based access to the market for refinancing, or both.

         MIG-2.  Notes bearing this designation are of favorable  quality,  with
all security elements accounted for, but lacking the undeniable  strength of the
previous grade.  Market access for refinancing,  in particular,  is likely to be
less well established.

         P-1.  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. The designation  "Prime-1" or "P-1" indicates
the highest quality repayment capacity of the rated issue.

         P-2.  Issuers  have a  strong  capacity  for  repayment  of  short-term
promissory obligations.

Thomson Bankwatch, Inc.

         A. Company possess an  exceptionally  strong balance sheet and earnings
record,  translating into an excellent reputation and unquestioned access to its
natural money markets. If weakness or vulnerability  exists in any aspect of the
company's   business,   it  is  entirely  mitigated  by  the  strengths  of  the
organization.

         A/B.       Company       is financially   very   solid   with  a
favorable   track   record   and  no readily   apparent   weakness.   Its
overall  risk  profile,  while  low, is  not   quite  as   favorable   as
companies  in  the  highest   rating category.

IBCA Limited

         A1.  Short-term  obligations  rated A1 are  supported  by a very strong
capacity for timely  repayment.  A plus sign is added to those issues determined
to possess the highest capacity for timely payment.

                        RISK/RETURN SUMMARY

         The following is a summary of certain key information about each of the
Fund's  Portfolios,   including  investment  objectives,   principal  investment
strategies and principal  investment  risks. A more detailed  description of the
allowable  investment  strategies,  allowable  investments and their  associated
risks will follow.

                           FIXED INCOME FUND

Investment Objective: The Fixed Income Fund's investment objective is to provide
investors with a total return which consistently exceeds the total return of the
broad U.S.  investment  grade bond  market as  measured  by the Lehman  Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index (the "LBA Benchmark").

Principal  Investment  Strategies:  The Fixed  Income  Fund seeks to achieve its
objective  through  superior  selection  and  emphasis on current  income  while
maintaining a duration neutral position.  A duration neutral position means that
the  investment  adviser  of the  Fixed  Income  Fund  does not take a  duration
position  against the LBA  Benchmark.  Duration  measures the expected life of a
debt  security  on a  present  value  basis.  The  present  duration  of the LBA
Benchmark  is 4.7 years.  At least 65% of the Fixed  Income  Fund's total assets
will be invested in the broad  universe of  available  U.S.  dollar fixed income
securities.

         Investment Management Approach:  Seix Investment
         Advisors Inc. (the "Investment Adviser") will
         manage the Fixed Income Fund based on its fixed
         income approach which is founded upon four
         cornerstones:
1.       Targeted  Duration:  The  Fixed  Income  Fund  will be  managed  with a
         duration that is close to the duration of the LBA  Benchmark.  Value is
         added through sector and security management.
2.       Yield  Tilt:  Although the Fixed Income Fund is managed on a total
         return basis, a premium is placed on income.  Income
         is considered the most powerful contributor to
         fixed income returns.  Non-Treasury sectors
         generally play a dominant role in the Fixed Income
         Fund.
         3.       Comprehensive Sector Construction:  Sector
         allocation is generally determined through a
         research driven process, depending on value areas
         within the fixed income market.  Since the Fixed
         Income Fund does not incur any duration risk, the
         Investment Adviser allows larger than average
         allocations to different sectors. The Fixed Income
         Fund will usually maintain an overweighting in
         obligations of domestic or foreign corporations and
         an underweighting of United States Treasury
         securities, giving the Fixed Income Fund
         potentially higher income than the LBA Benchmark
         with accompanying risk.
         4.       Proprietary Analytics:  Because of the
         growing complexity of the bond market, the
         Investment Adviser believes that the use of
         financial investment techniques which it developed
         internally is key to identifying value and to
         adequately controlling risk.

         Credit  Quality:  The Fixed  Income Fund may only invest in  investment
         grade  securities  that  are  those  rated  by one or  more  nationally
         recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) in one of the four
         highest rating  categories at the time of purchase (e.g.  AAA, AA, A or
         BBB by Standard & Poor's Corporation (Standard & Poor's), Duff & Phelps
         Credit Rating Co. ("Duff & Phelps"), or Fitch Investors Service,  Inc.,
         (Fitch)  or  Aaa,  Aa,  A or Baa by  Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc.
         (Moody's).  If the security is unrated,  it must meet, in the judgement
         of the Investment Adviser, the above minimum credit quality standards.

         Principal Investments: The Fixed Income Fund will principally invest in
         the  following  securities:  obligations  issued or  guaranteed  by the
         United   States   Government,   obligations   of  domestic  or  foreign
         corporations  or other  entities,  obligations  of  domestic or foreign
         banks, mortgage-and-asset backed securities,  obligations backed by the
         full faith and credit of the United States,  and obligations  issued or
         guaranteed by United States Government  agencies,  Government-Sponsored
         Enterprises  (GSE's) or  instrumentalities  where the Fixed Income Fund
         must  look  principally  to the  issuing  or  guaranteeing  agency  for
         ultimate repayment.

Principal Risks: A loss of money on your investment in the Fixed Income Fund, or
the  underperformance  of the Fixed  Income Fund  relative to other  investments
could occur due to certain  risks.  These  include:  interest rate risk,  credit
risk, prepayment risk, and non-diversification risk.








                    INTERMEDIATE FIXED INCOME FUND

Investment Objective:  The Intermediate Fixed Income Fund's investment objective
is to provide investors with a total return which consistently exceeds the total
return of the  intermediate  portion  of the broad  U.S.  investment  grade bond
market as  measured by the Lehman  Brothers  Intermediate  Government  Corporate
Index (the "LBI Benchmark").

Principal  Investment  Strategies:  The Intermediate  Fixed Income Fund seeks to
achieve its objective through superior  selection and emphasis on current income
while maintaining a duration neutral position. A duration neutral position means
that the investment  adviser of the Intermediate Fixed Income Fund does not take
a duration  position against the LBI Benchmark.  Duration  measures the expected
life of a debt  security on a present value basis.  The present  duration of the
LBI Benchmark is 3.4 years. At least 65% of the Intermediate Fixed Income Fund's
total  assets will be invested in the broad  universe of available  U.S.  dollar
fixed income securities.

         Investment Management Approach:  The Investment
         Adviser  will manage the  Intermediate  Fixed  Income Fund based on its
         fixed  income  approach  which is founded  upon four  cornerstones:  1.
         Targeted  Duration:  The Intermediate Fixed Income Fund will be managed
         with a duration  that is close to the  duration  of the LBI  Benchmark.
         Value is added through sector and security  management.  2. Yield Tilt:
         Although  the  Intermediate  Fixed  Income  Fund is  managed on a total
         return basis,  a premium is placed on income.  Income is considered the
         most powerful contributor to fixed income returns. Non-Treasury sectors
         generally play a dominant role in the  Intermediate  Fixed Income Fund.
         3. Comprehensive  Sector  Construction:  Sector allocation is generally
         determined through a research driven process,  depending on value areas
         within the fixed income  market.  Since the  Intermediate  Fixed Income
         Fund does not incur any duration risk,  the  Investment  Adviser allows
         larger than average allocations to different sectors.  The Intermediate
         Fixed Income Fund will usually maintain an overweighting in obligations
         of domestic or foreign  corporations  and an  underweighting  of United
         States Treasury  securities,  giving the Intermediate Fixed Income Fund
         potentially  higher  income than the LBI  Benchmark  with  accompanying
         risk. 4. Proprietary  Analytics:  Because of the growing  complexity of
         the bond market, the firm believes that the use of financial investment
         techniques  which it developed  internally is key to identifying  value
         and to adequately controlling risk.

         Credit  Quality:  The Fixed  Income Fund may only invest in  investment
         grade  securities  that  are  those  rated  by one or  more  nationally
         recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) in one of the four
         highest rating  categories at the time of purchase (e.g.  AAA, AA, A or
         BBB by Standard & Poor's Corporation (Standard & Poor's), Duff & Phelps
         Credit Rating Co. ("Duff & Phelps"), or Fitch Investors Service,  Inc.,
         (Fitch)  or  Aaa,  Aa,  A or Baa by  Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc.
         (Moody's).  If the security is unrated,  it must meet, in the judgement
         of the Investment Adviser, the above minimum credit quality standards.

         Principal   Investments:   The  Intermediate  Fixed  Income  Fund  will
         principally invest in the following  securities:  obligations issued or
         guaranteed by the United States Government,  obligations of domestic or
         foreign  corporations  or other  entities,  obligations  of domestic or
         foreign banks, mortgage-and-asset backed securities, obligations backed
         by the full  faith and  credit of the United  States,  and  obligations
         issued  or   guaranteed   by   United   States   Government   agencies,
         Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSE's) or instrumentalities where the
         Intermediate  Fixed Income Fund must look principally to the issuing or
         guaranteeing agency for ultimate repayment.

Principal  Risks: A loss of money on your investment in the  Intermediate  Fixed
Income  Fund,  or the  underperformance  of the  Intermediate  Fixed Income Fund
relative to other investments  could occur due to certain risks.  These include:
interest rate risk, credit risk, prepayment risk, and non-diversification risk.

                      PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

         "Risk" is the chance that you may lose on an investment or that it will
not earn as much as you expect.  In general,  the greater the risk,  the greater
the  possibility  of  losing  money.  The  possibility  exists  that  investment
decisions of portfolio  managers of the Fund will not  accomplish  what they are
designed to achieve.  No assurance  can be given that a  Portfolio's  investment
objective will be achieved.

The risks associated with each Portfolio  depend on its investment  strategy and
the types of securities it holds.  The specific  risks  affecting each Portfolio
will be indicated in the individual  portfolio  descriptions in this prospectus.
General  risks  associated  with  each  Portfolio's   investment   policies  and
strategies are as follows:

Banking industry     Investing in bank  obligations  will expose an investor to
risk:                risks  associated with the banking industry
                     such as interest rate and credit risks.

Credit               risk: The risk that a security  issuer or a counterparty to
                     a contract will default or not be able to honor a financial
                     obligation.

Interest  rate Bond  prices  fluctuate  with  changing  interest  rates and vary
inversely with market interest rates. In risk: general,  bonds increase in value
when interest rates fall and decrease in value when interest rates
                     rise. Further, for a given change in interest rates, longer
                     duration bonds usually fluctuate more in price than shorter
                     duration bonds.

Market               risk:  The  market  value of a  security  may  increase  or
                     decrease over time. Such  fluctuations can cause a security
                     to be worth less than the price  originally  paid for it or
                     less than it was worth at an earlier time.  Market risk may
                     affect a single issuer,  entire industry or the market as a
                     whole.

Non-diversification  A portfolio is diversified  when it spreads  investment
risk:                risk by placing assets in several  investment
                     categories.  A  non-diversified  portfolio  concentrates
                     its  assets in a less  diverse  spectrum  of
                     securities.  Non-diversification  can intensify risk should
                     a particular  investment  category  suffer
                     from adverse market conditions.

Prepayment           risk:  Investing in mortgage-backed  and other asset-backed
                     securities  carries risks of faster or slower than expected
                     prepayment  of  principal  which  affect the  duration  and
                     return of the securities.


                   POTENTIAL Year 2000 risk

Like other mutual funds,  financial and business  organizations  and individuals
around the world,  the Fund could be affected  adversely if the computer systems
used by the Investment Advisor,  Administrator and/or other service providers do
not properly  process and calculate  date-related  information and data from and
after January 1, 2000.  This is commonly  known as the "Year 2000 Problem" ("Y2K
Problem").  The advisor and administrator are taking steps that they believe are
reasonably  designed to address the Y2K Problem with  respect to their  computer
systems and in obtaining  reasonable  assurances that comparable steps are being
taken by the Fund's other major service providers.  At this time, however, there
can be no  assurance  that these steps will be  sufficient  to avoid any adverse
impact to the Fund, nor can there be any assurance that the Y2K Problem will not
have an adverse effect on the companies whose securities are held by the Fund or
on global markets or economies,  generally.  Foreign  companies may have greater
exposure  to the Y2K  Problem  than  U.S.  companies  due to less  sophisticated
testing procedures.

* Date of Inception of Class A Shares of the Fixed  Income Fund:  12/30/1997  **
The  returns  in the table are for  shares in Class A of the Fixed  Income  Fund
which are not offered in this Prospectus.  The Portfolio expects that the annual
returns of the Class B shares would be  substantially  similar to the returns of
Class A  because  both  classes  of  shares  invest  in the  same  portfolio  of
securities, and the returns would differ only to the extent that the two classes
of shares have different expenses. The name of the Portfolio was changed on June
10, 1999 by the Board of Directors  from SAMCO Fixed  Income  Portfolio to SAMCO
Aggregate Fixed Income Fund.

We have not included the performance returns of the
Intermediate Fixed Income Fund since it has not commenced investment  operations
yet.

(a)  Other  Expenses   include  fees  for   shareholder   services,   custodial,
administration,   dividend  disbursing  and  transfer  agency  fees,  legal  and
accounting  fees,  printing  costs and  registration  fees.  (b) The  Investment
Adviser and Administrator have voluntarily agreed to limit the total expenses of
the  Fixed  Income  Fund  and the  Intermediate  Fixed  Income  Fund  (excluding
interest,  taxes, brokerage and extraordinary expenses) to annual rates of 0.70%
of the Fund's average daily net assets for an indefinite  time period.  There is
no specific time period for how long the voluntary expense limitation will last,
and such waiver may be cancelled at any time. As long as these temporary expense
limitations  continue, it may lower the Fixed Income Fund and Intermediate Fixed
Income  Fund's  expenses  and  increase  their total  returns.  In the event the
Investment Adviser and Administrator  remove such expense caps, the Fixed Income
Fund and Intermediate  Fixed Income Fund's expenses may increase and their total
returns  may be reduced  depending  on their total  assets.  For the fiscal year
ended October 31, 1998, the Investment Adviser and Administrator  waived fees in
the amount of 0.58% in the Fixed  Income  Fund.  (c) As the  Intermediate  Fixed
Income  Fund  has  not  commenced  investment  operations,  these  expenses  are
estimates based upon the expected  expenses that the  Intermediate  Fixed Income
Fund would incur in the current fiscal year.

Example.  This  example is  intended  to help you  compare the
cost of investing in each of the  Portfolios  of the Fund with
the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example assumes that:
o You invest  $10,000 in the  Portfolio for the time periods  indicated;  o Your
investment has a 5% return each year; and o The Portfolio's  operating  expenses
remain the same.

The results apply  whether or not you redeem your  investment at the end of each
period.  Although your costs may be higher or lower,  based on these assumptions
your costs would be:

                               Purchase Of Shares

         There is no sales charge  imposed by the Fund, nor does the Fund impose
sales commissions (loads). The minimum initial investment in the Fund is $1,000;
additional purchases may be of any amount.

The offering of shares of the Fund is continuous and purchases of shares of the
Fund may be made  Monday  through  Friday,  except for the  holidays  declared
by the Federal  Reserve Banks of New York or Boston (a "Business  Day"). At the
present time,  these  holidays  are:  New Year's  Day,  Martin  Luther  King,
Jr.  Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Columbus
Day, Veterans Day,  Thanksgiving,  and  Christmas.  The Fund's  shares are
offered at a public offering price equal to the net asset value next  determined
after receipt of a purchase order.

In order to purchase shares on a particular Business Day,subject to the offering
dates described above, a purchaser must submit a completed  Account  Application
Form (and other  required  documents) and call the Investors  Capital  Services,
Inc., a branch offices of the Distributor at (800) 762-4848,  or within the City
of New York,  (212) 332-5211 prior to 4:00 p.m.  Eastern time to inform the Fund
of the incoming  wire  transfer.  If Federal funds are received by the Fund that
same  day,  the  order  will be  effective  on that  day.  If the Fund  receives
notification  on a  non-business  day, or after 4:00 p.m.  Eastern  time,  or if
Federal funds are received by the Transfer  Agent after 4:00 p.m.  Eastern time,
such purchase order shall be deemed received as of the next business day. Shares
purchased will begin accruing dividends on the day Federal funds are received.

         Purchases  of shares must be made by wire  transfer  of Federal  funds.
Please note that the shareholder's  bank may impose a charge to execute the wire
transfer. The wiring instructions for purchasing shares of the Fund are:

                     Redemption Of Shares

         The Fund will  redeem all full and  fractional  shares of the Fund upon
request of  shareholders.  The redemption price is the net asset value per share
next  determined  after  receipt  by the  Transfer  Agent of  proper  notice  of
redemption as described  below. If such notice is received by the Transfer Agent
by 4:00 p.m.  Eastern time on any Business Day, the redemption will be effective
on the date of receipt. If such notice of redemption is received by the Transfer
Agent after 4:00 p.m.  Eastern time, the redemption of the shareholder  shall be
effective on the following Business Day. Payment will ordinarily be made by wire
on the next  Business  Day but  within no more than  seven days from the date of
receipt.  If the notice is received on a day that is not a Business Day or after
the above-mentioned cut-off times, the redemption notice will be deemed received
as of the next Business Day.

         There is no charge  imposed  by the Fund to redeem  shares of the Fund;
however,  a shareholder's  bank may impose its own wire transfer fee for receipt
of  the  wire.  Redemptions  may be  executed  in any  amount  requested  by the
shareholder up to the amount such shareholder has invested in the Fund.


         To redeem shares,  a shareholder or any authorized agent (so designated
on the Account Application Form) must provide the Transfer Agent with the dollar
or share amount to be  redeemed,  the account to which the  redemption  proceeds
should be wired (which  account  shall have been  previously  designated  by the
shareholder on its Account  Application  Form),  the name of the shareholder and
the  shareholder's  account number.  Shares redeemed receive dividends up to and
including the day preceding the day the redemption proceeds are wired.

         A shareholder may change its authorized agent or the account designated
to receive redemption proceeds at any time by writing to the Transfer Agent with
an appropriate  signature guarantee.  Further documentation may be required when
deemed appropriate by the Transfer Agent.

         A shareholder  may request  redemption by calling the Transfer Agent at
(800)  247-0473.  Telephone  redemption is made available to shareholders of the
Fund on the Account Application Form. The Fund and the Transfer Agent may employ
reasonable  procedures  designed to confirm that  instructions  communicated  by
telephone are genuine.  If either the Fund or the Transfer Agent does not employ
such  procedures,  it may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent
instructions. The Fund or the Transfer Agent may require personal identification
codes and will only wire funds through  pre-existing bank account  instructions.
No bank instruction changes will be accepted via telephone.

                    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Dividends and Distributions

         Dividends are automatically  reinvested in additional Class B shares of
the Fund on the last day of each  month at the net asset  value per share on the
last  Business Day of that month unless  shareholders  indicate  their desire to
receive  dividends in cash  (payable on the first  Business Day of the following
month) on the Account  Application Form. In the event that the Fund realizes net
long-term capital gains (i.e., with respect to assets held more than 18 months),
it will distribute them at least annually by automatically reinvesting (unless a
shareholder  has  elected  to  receive  cash) such  long-term  capital  gains in
additional  shares  of  the  Fund  at the  net  asset  value  on  the  date  the
distribution is declared.

         The net investment  income  (including  accrued but unpaid interest and
amortization  of original issue and market discount or premium) of the Fund will
be declared as a dividend  payable  monthly to  shareholders of record as of the
last  Business  Day of each  month.  The Fund will also  declare,  to the extent
necessary,  a net short-term capital gain dividend once per year.  Dividends are
paid on the first Business Day of the month.

Determination of Net Asset Value

         The net asset value per share of the Fund is  calculated  by the Fund's
Accounting  Agent as of 4:00 p.m.  Eastern time on each Business Day the Fund is
open.  The net asset  value per share of each class of the Fund is  computed  by
dividing the sum of the value of the  securities  held by the Fund plus any cash
or other assets (including  interest and dividends accrued but not yet received)
minus all liabilities  (including any accrued expenses that are specific to that
class) by the total number of shares  outstanding  at such time,  rounded to the
nearest cent.  Expenses,  including the investment  advisory fees payable to the
Investment Adviser, are accrued daily.

     The following methods are used to calculate the value of the Fund's assets:
(1) all portfolio  securities for which  over-the-counter  market quotations are
readily available (including  asset-backed  securities) are valued at the latest
bid price; (2) deposits and repurchase  agreements are valued at their cost plus
accrued interest unless the Investment  Adviser  determines in good faith, under
procedures  established by and under the general supervision of the Fund's Board
of  Directors,  that such  value  does not  approximate  the fair  value of such
assets;  and (3) the value of other assets will be  determined  in good faith by
the Investment  Adviser at fair value under procedures  established by and under
the  general  supervision  of the  Fund's  Board of  Directors.  The  procedures
establish  guidelines for the Board to follow in pricing  securities in the Fund
for which market quotations are not readily available.  These securities will be
priced by the Fund's  Pricing  Committee  and then reported to the Board seeking
ratification of the price by the Board at its next quarterly meeting.

Rule 12b-1 Plan

          The Fund has adopted a Distribution  Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under
the 1940 Act. Under this Plan, the Fund may pay a quarterly distribution related
fee at an amount not to exceed  0.25% of the  average  daily value of the Fund's
net assets.  Such amounts received under the Plan are to be used for payments to
qualifying dealers for their assistance in the distribution of the Fund's shares
and the  provision  of  shareholder  services  and for  other  expenses  such as
advertising  costs  and  the  payment  for  the  printing  and  distribution  of
prospectuses  to prospective  investors.  Because these fees are paid out of the
Fund'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.


Taxes

         The  following  discussion  is  only a  brief  summary  of  some of the
important  tax  considerations  affecting  each  Portfolio  of the  Fund and its
shareholders.  No  attempt  is made to  present a  detailed  explanation  of all
federal, state, local and foreign income tax considerations, and this discussion
is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning. Accordingly, potential
investors are urged to consult their own tax advisers with specific reference to
their own tax situation.

         The Fixed Income  qualifies  to be treated as a  "regulated  investment
company" for federal  income tax purposes  under  Subchapter M of the Code.  The
Intermediate  Fixed  Income Fund intends to qualify and elect to be treated as a
regulated  investment  company.  If so qualified,  the Intermediate Fixed Income
Fund will not be subject to federal  income taxes on its net  investment  income
(i.e.,  its investment  company  taxable  income) as that term is defined in the
Code,  determined  without  regard to the deduction for dividends  paid) and net
capital  gain (i.e.,  the excess of the  Intermediate  Fixed  Income  Fund's net
long-term  capital gain over its net short-term  capital loss),  if any, that it
distributes to its  shareholders in each taxable year. To qualify as a regulated
investment company, the Intermediate Fixed Income Fund must, among other things,
distribute  to its  shareholders  at  least  90% of its net  investment  company
taxable income for such taxable year.  However,  the  Intermediate  Fixed Income
Fund would be subject to  corporate  federal  income tax at a rate of 35% on any
undistributed  income or net capital gain.  The  Intermediate  Fixed Income Fund
will be subject to a 4%  nondeductible  excise tax on its taxable  income to the
extent it does not meet certain other distribution requirements.  If in any year
the  Intermediate  Fixed  Income  Fund  should  fail to qualify  as a  regulated
investment  company,  the  Intermediate  Fixed  Income  Fund would be subject to
federal  income  tax  in  the  same  manner  as  an  ordinary   corporation  and
distributions  to  shareholders  would be  taxable to such  holders as  ordinary
income to the  extent of the  earnings  and  profits of the  Intermediate  Fixed
Income  Fund.  Such  distributions  would  qualify  for  the  dividends-received
deduction  available  to  corporate  shareholders.  Distributions  in  excess of
earnings and profits  would be treated as a tax-free  return of capital,  to the
extent  of a  holder's  basis  in its  shares,  and any  excess,  as a long-  or
short-term capital gain.

         Distributions  paid by a  Portfolio  of the Fund  from  net  investment
income are  designated  by the  Portfolio as "ordinary  income  dividends"  and,
whether paid in cash or  reinvested  in  additional  shares,  will be taxable to
Portfolio  shareholders  that are otherwise  subject to tax as ordinary  income.
Distributions made from the Portfolio's net capital gain which are designated by
the  Portfolio  as "capital  gains  dividends"  are taxable to  shareholders  as
long-term  capital gains,  regardless of the length of time the  shareholder has
owned Fund shares.  Shareholders  receiving  distributions from the Portfolio in
the form of additional shares will be treated for federal income tax purposes as
receiving  a  distribution  in an  amount  equal to the net  asset  value of the
additional shares on the date of such a distribution.

         Gain or loss, if any,  recognized on the sale or other  disposition  of
shares of o Portfolio  of the Fund will be taxed as capital  gain or loss if the
shares are capital assets in the shareholder's hands. Generally, a shareholder's
gain or loss will be a  long-term  gain or loss if the shares have been held for
more than 12 months.  A loss  realized  on a sale or  exchange  of shares may be
disallowed if other shares are acquired within a 61-day period beginning 30 days
before and ending 30 days after the date that the shares are disposed of.

          Dividends and  distributions  by a Portfolio of the Fund are generally
taxable to the  shareholders  at the time the dividend or  distribution is made.
Any  dividend  declared  in December  of any year,  however,  that is payable to
shareholders  of record on a specified date in such month will be deemed to have
been  received  by the  shareholders  and  paid by a  Portfolio  of the  Fund on
December 31 of such year in the event such  dividends  are actually  paid during
January of the following year.

          A Portfolio of the Fund may be required to withhold federal income tax
at a rate of 31% ("backup  withholding") from dividends and redemption  proceeds
paid to non-corporate  shareholders.  This tax may be withheld from dividends if
(i) the  shareholder  fails  to  furnish  the  Portfolio  of the  Fund  with the
shareholder's correct taxpayer  identification number, (ii) the Internal Revenue
Service  ("IRS")  notifies the  Portfolio of the Fund that the  shareholder  has
failed to report properly certain interest and dividend income to the IRS and to
respond  to  notices  to that  effect,  or (iii)  when  required  to do so,  the
shareholder  fails  to  certify  that  he  or  she  is  not  subject  to  backup
withholding.

     Each  Portfolio of the Fund expects that its  distributions  will represent
primarily ordinary income to shareholders.

                  DESCRIPTION OF INVESTMENTS

         Each portfolio of the Fund may invest in the securities  defined below
in accordance with their listing of allowable investments and any quality or
policy constraints.

Agencies

         The Fund may  invest  in  agencies  which are  securities  that are not
guaranteed by the United States Government,  but which are issued,  sponsored or
guaranteed by a federal agency or federally sponsored agency such as the Student
Loan Marketing Association or any of several other agencies.

Bank Obligations

         The Fund may invest in  obligations  of  domestic  and  foreign  banks,
including time deposits,  certificates of deposit,  bankers'  acceptances,  bank
notes,  deposit notes,  Eurodollar  time deposits,  Eurodollar  certificates  of
deposit, variable rate notes, loan participations, variable amount master demand
notes,  and  custodial  receipts.  Time  deposits  are  non-negotiable  deposits
maintained in a banking  institution for a specified  period of time at a stated
interest rate.  Certificates  of deposit are negotiable  short-term  obligations
issued by  commercial  banks or  savings  and loan  associations  against  funds
deposited in the issuing institution.  Variable rate certificates of deposit are
certificates  of deposit on which the  interest  rate is  adjusted  periodically
prior to their stated  maturity  based upon a specified  market rate. A bankers'
acceptance is a time draft drawn on a commercial  bank by a borrower  usually in
connection with an international  commercial transaction (to finance the import,
export,  transfer, or storage of goods). The Fund will not concentrate more than
25% of its total assets in domestic bank obligations.  Domestic bank obligations
include  instruments that are issued by United States (domestic)  banks;  United
States  branches  of foreign  banks,  if such  branches  are subject to the same
regulations as United States banks; and foreign branches of United States banks,
if the Investment  Adviser  determines  that the investment risk associated with
investing  in  instruments  issued  by  such  branches  is the  same  as that of
investing in  instruments  issued by the United  States parent bank, in that the
United States parent bank would be unconditionally  liable in the event that the
foreign branch fails to pay on its instruments.  Bank obligations entail varying
amounts  of  interest  rate  and  credit  risk,   with  the   lowest-rated   and
longest-dated bank obligations entailing the greatest risk of loss to the Fund.

CMOs--Collateralized Mortgage Obligations

         The Fund may purchase  collateralized  mortgage  obligations  which are
derivatives that are collateralized by mortgage  pass-through  securities.  Cash
flows  from the  mortgage  pass-through  securities  are  allocated  to  various
tranches (a "tranche" is  essentially a separate  security) in a  predetermined,
specified  order.  Each tranche has a stated maturity - the latest date by which
the tranche can be  completely  repaid,  assuming  no  prepayments  - and has an
average  life - the  average  of the  time to  receipt  of a  principal  payment
weighted by the size of the  principal  payment.  The average  life is typically
used as a proxy for maturity because the debt is amortized  (repaid a portion at
a time),  rather than being paid off entirely at maturity,  as would be the case
in a straight debt instrument.

Corporates

         The Fund may invest in corporates which are debt instruments  issued by
private corporations.  Bondholders,  as creditors, have a prior legal claim over
common and  preferred  stockholders  of the  corporation  as to both  income and
assets for the principal and interest due to the  bondholder.  The Fund will buy
corporates subject to any quality constraints. If a security held by the Fund is
downgraded,  the Fund may retain the security if the  Investment  Adviser  deems
retention of the security to be in the best interests of the Fund.

Floaters

         Floaters--Floating  and Variable Rate  Obligations are debt obligations
with a floating or variable rate of interest,  i.e. the rate of interest  varies
with changes in specified market rates or indices, such as the prime rate, or at
specified  intervals.  Certain floating or variable rate obligations may carry a
demand  feature that permits the holder to tender them back to the issuer of the
underlying instrument, or to a third party, at par value prior to maturity.

Foreign   Government  and   International  and  Supranational
Agency Debt Securities

         The Fund may purchase U.S. dollar  denominated debt obligations  issued
or  guaranteed  by foreign  governments  or their  subdivisions,  agencies,  and
instrumentalities,  and debt  obligations  issued or guaranteed by international
agencies and supranational entities.

Investment Grade Debt Securities

         The Fund may invest in investment grade securities that are those rated
by one or more NRSROs in one of the four highest  rating  categories at the time
of purchase (e.g. AAA, AA, A or BBB by Standard & Poor's,  Fitch, Duff & Phelps,
or Aaa,  Aa, A or Baa by Moody's).  Securities  rated BBB or Baa  represent  the
lowest  of four  levels of  investment  grade  securities  and are  regarded  as
borderline   between  definitely  sound  obligations  and  those  in  which  the
speculative element begins to predominate. Mortgage-backed securities, including
mortgage  pass-throughs and collateralized  mortgage obligations (CMOs),  deemed
investment grade by the Investment  Adviser,  will either carry a guarantee from
an agency of the U.S.  Government or a private  issuer of the timely  payment of
principal  and interest  (such  guarantees  do not extend to the market value of
such securities or the net asset value per share of the Fund) or, in the case of
unrated  securities,  be  sufficiently  seasoned that they are considered by the
Investment  Adviser to be investment grade quality.  The Investment  Adviser may
retain  securities  if their  ratings  fall below  investment  grade if it deems
retention of the security to be in the best  interests of the Fund. The Fund may
hold unrated  securities if the Investment  Adviser considers the risks involved
in owning that  security to be  equivalent  to the risks  involved in holding an
Investment Grade Security.

Mortgage-Backed Securities and Asset-Backed Debt Securities

         Mortgage-backed  debt  securities are secured or backed by mortgages or
other mortgage-related assets. Such securities may be issued by such entities as
Government  National Mortgage  Association  ("GNMA"),  Federal National Mortgage
Association  ("FNMA"),   Federal  Home  Loan  Mortgage  Corporation   ("FHLMC"),
commercial banks,  savings and loan associations,  mortgage banks, or by issuers
that  are  affiliates  of or  sponsored  by such  entities.  Other  asset-backed
securities are secured or backed by assets other than  mortgage-related  assets,
such  as  automobile  and  credit  card  receivables,  and  are  issued  by such
institutions as finance companies, finance subsidiaries of industrial companies,
and investment banks. The Fund will purchase only  asset-backed  securities that
the  Investment  Adviser  determines  to be liquid.  The Fund will not  purchase
mortgage  backed or  asset-backed  securities that do not meet the above minimum
credit standards.

         An important  feature of mortgage-and  asset-backed  securities is that
the principal amount is generally  subject to partial or total prepayment at any
time because the underlying assets (i.e., loans) generally may be prepaid at any
time. If an asset-backed security is purchased at a premium to par, a prepayment
rate that is  faster  than  expected  will  reduce  yield to  maturity,  while a
prepayment  rate that is slower than expected  will have the opposite  effect of
increasing  yield  to  maturity.  Conversely,  if an  asset-backed  security  is
purchased at a discount,  faster than expected prepayments will increase,  while
slower than expected  prepayments  will decrease,  yield to maturity.  It should
also be noted that these  securities  may not have any security  interest in the
underlying  assets,  and recoveries on  repossessed  collateral may not, in some
cases, be available to support payments on these securities.

Municipal Debt Securities

         The Fund may, from time to time,  purchase  municipal  debt  securities
when, in the  Investment  Adviser's  opinion,  such  instruments  will provide a
greater  return  than  taxable  instruments  of  comparable  quality.  It is not
anticipated  that such securities  will ever represent a significant  portion of
the  Fund's  assets.  Fund  distributions  that are  derived  from  interest  on
municipal debt  securities will be taxable to shareholders in the same manner as
distributions derived from taxable debt securities.

Preferred Stock

         The Fund may invest in preferred  stock which is  non-voting  ownership
shares in a corporation which pay a fixed or variable stream of dividends.

Repurchase Agreements
         Repurchase  agreements are  transactions  by which the Fund purchases a
security  and  simultaneously  commits to resell that  security to the seller (a
bank or  securities  dealer)  at an agreed  upon  price on an  agreed  upon date
(usually within seven days of purchase).  The resale price reflects the purchase
price plus an agreed  upon market rate of  interest  which is  unrelated  to the
coupon rate or date of  maturity  of the  purchased  security.  Such  agreements
permit  the  Fund to keep  all its  assets  at work  while  retaining  overnight
flexibility in pursuit of  investments  of a longer term nature.  The Investment
Adviser  will  continually  monitor the value of the  underlying  collateral  to
ensure that its value, including accrued interest,  always equals or exceeds the
repurchase price.

When-lssued and Forward Commitment Securities

         The Fund may  purchase  securities  on a  "when-issued"  basis  and may
purchase  or  sell  securities  on  a  "forward   commitment"   basis.  In  such
transactions,  instruments  are bought with payment and delivery taking place in
the future in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous  yield or
price  at the  time  of the  transaction.  Delivery  of and  payment  for  these
securities may take more than a month after the date of the purchase commitment,
but will take  place no more  than 120 days  after  the  trade  date.  No income
accrues prior to delivery on securities  that have been purchased  pursuant to a
forward commitment or on a when-issued basis. However,  interest is generated on
the  short-term  investments  that are  segregated  for the  settlement of these
securities.  At the time the Fund enters into a transaction  on a when-issued or
forward  commitment  basis,  a segregated  account  consisting of cash or liquid
securities  equal  to  the  value  of  the  when-issued  or  forward  commitment
securities  will be  established in the Fund and maintained in the Fund and will
be marked to market daily. A short term  investment in this  segregated  account
may not have a duration that exceeds 180 days. Forward  commitments,  or delayed
deliveries,  are deemed to be outside the normal corporate settlement structure.
They are subject to segregation requirements; however, when a forward commitment
purchase  is made  to  close a  forward  commitment  sale,  or vice  versa,  the
difference  between  the  two  may be  netted  for  segregation  purposes  until
settlement date.

Zero Coupon Debt Securities

         The Fund may invest in zero coupon debt  securities  (bonds that pay no
interest but are originally sold at an original issue discount). Because they do
not pay interest until  maturity,  zero coupon  securities tend to be subject to
greater  fluctuation  of market  value in response to changes in interest  rates
than interest-paying securities of similar maturities.

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

The Fund may not:

(1) borrow money (including entering into reverse repurchase agreements);

(2) make loans except that it may enter into Repurchase Agreements;

(3) invest more  than 25% of the total assets  of the Fund in the securities  of
issuers having their principal activities in any particular industry, except for
tax-exempt  obligations  issued  or  guaranteed  by  the  U.S.  government,  its
agencies, GSE's,  instrumentalities or by any state, territory or any possession
of the United States or any of their authorities, agencies, instrumentalities or
political subdivisions,  or with respect to repurchase agreements collateralized
by any of such  obligations.  For  purposes of this  restriction,  supranational
issuers  will be  considered  to  comprise  an  industry  as will  each  foreign
government  that issues  securities  purchased by the Fund. In the case of Asset
Backed Securities, the industry will be defined by the underlying assets in each
trust.  (For  example,  credit  card  receivables  and auto loans  would each be
considered separate industries); and

    (4)  invest  the cash  securing  a forward  commitment  in  mortgage  backed
securities in investments that have a duration exceeding 180 days.

         The   limitations   contained  above  may  be  changed  only  with  the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Fund's  outstanding  voting
securities,  as defined in the 1940 Act. The  percentage  limitations  contained
above as well as elsewhere in this Prospectus and in the Statement of Additional
Information apply only at the time of purchase and the Fund will not be required
to dispose of securities upon subsequent fluctuations in market value.

         The Fund has the following non-fundamental investment policies:

(1)      it will not invest in the securities of any company which as a primary
line of business in the manufacture and sale of tobacco products;

        (2)the Intermediate Fixed Income Fund will not engage in the strategy of
establishing or rolling forward TBA mortgage commitments; and

         (3)the  Intermediate  Fixed  Income  Fund  will  not,  at the  time  of
purchase,  invest  more than 15% of its net  assets in  securities  rated BBB by
Standard & Poor's, Duff & Phelps, or Fitch or Baa by Moody's.

         Investment policies that are non-fundamental may be changed at any time
by the Board of Directors of the Fund and do not require shareholder approval.

      ORGANIZATION OF THE FUND

         The  authorized  capital  stock of the Fund  consists of  2,500,000,000
shares  with $.001 par value.  Every share  issued by the Fund has equal  voting
rights; shareholders receive one vote for each share held. All shares issued and

their  net  asset  value  at the  option  of the  shareholder.  Shares  have  no
preemptive or conversion rights.

         The shares of the Fund have non-cumulative  voting rights,  which means

  INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADVISORY
             AGREEMENT

         Seix  Investment  Advisors  Inc.,  established in 1992, is a registered
investment  adviser that specializes in professional fixed income management for
corporations,  public funds,  endowments,  foundations and hospitals.  Christina
Seix may be deemed a "controlling person" of the Investment Adviser on the basis
of her ownership of the Investment Adviser's stock.

         Pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreements between each Portfolio
of the  Fund  and  the  Investment  Adviser  (the  "Advisory  Agreements"),  the
Investment  Adviser,  subject to the control and supervision of the Fund's Board
of  Directors  and in  conformance  with the stated  investment  objectives  and
policies  of each  Portfolio  of the  Fund,  shall  manage  the  investment  and
reinvestment of the assets of the Fund. In this regard, it is the responsibility
of the Investment Adviser to make investment decisions for the Fund and to place
the Fund's purchase and sales orders for investment securities.

         The Advisory  Agreements shall remain in effect for two years following
its date of execution and thereafter will automatically  continue for successive
annual periods,  so long as such  continuance is specifically  approved at least
annually  by (a) the  Board of  Directors  or (b) the vote of a  "majority"  (as
defined in the 1940 Act) of a Portfolio's  outstanding shares voting as a single
class;  provided,  that in either event the  continuance  is also approved by at
least a majority of the Board of Directors who are not "interested  persons" (as
defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund or the  Investment  Adviser by vote cast in
person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

         The Advisory Agreements are terminable without penalty on not less than
60 days'  notice  by the Board of  Directors  or by a vote of the  holders  of a
majority of a Portfolio's  outstanding  shares voting as a single class, or upon
not less than 60 days' notice by the Investment Adviser. The Advisory Agreements
will terminate  automatically in the event of their  "assignment" (as defined in
the 1940 Act).

         The  Investment  Adviser  pays  all of its  expenses  arising  from the
performance  of its  obligations  under the Advisory  Agreements,  including all
executive  salaries and expenses of the  directors  and officers of the Fund who
are employees of the Investment  Adviser or its  affiliates,  and office rent of
the Fund.  Subject to the  expense  reimbursement  provisions  described  in the
Prospectus under "Fund  Expenses,"  other expenses  incurred in the operation of
the Fund are borne by each Portfolio of the Fund, including, without limitation,
investment advisory fees, brokerage commissions,  interest, fees and expenses of
independent attorneys, auditors, custodians, accounting agents, transfer agents,
taxes,  cost of stock  certificates and any other expenses  (including  clerical
expenses)  of issue,  sale,  repurchase  or  redemption  of shares,  expenses of
registering  and qualifying  shares of the Fund under federal and state laws and
regulations,  expenses of printing and distributing  reports,  notices and proxy
materials to existing shareholders,  expenses of printing and filing reports and
other documents filed with governmental agencies, expenses of annual and special
shareholders'  meetings,  fees and expenses of Directors of the Fund who are not
employees of the Investment  Adviser or its  affiliates,  membership dues in the
Investment Company Institute, insurance premiums and extraordinary expenses such
as litigation expenses.

         As  compensation  for its services,  the  Investment  Adviser  receives
monthly compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets
of each Portfolio of the Fund.  The Investment  Adviser may waive all or part of
its fee from time to time in order to  increase  the net  income  available  for
distribution  to  shareholders  of a Portfolio of the Fund. The Fund will not be
required to reimburse the  Investment  Adviser for any advisory fees waived.  In
addition,  the Investment  Adviser and the Administrator have voluntarily agreed
to limit the total  expenses  of Class A Shares  of each  Portfolio  of the Fund
[(excluding  taxes,  interest,  brokerage,  and  extraordinary  expenses)] to an
annual rate of 0.45% of the Fund's  average  daily net assets for an  indefinite
time period.  As long as this temporary  expense  limitation  continues,  it may
lower a  Portfolio's  expenses and increase its total  return.  In the event the
Investment   Adviser  and/or  the  Administrator   remove  the  expense  cap,  a
Portfolio's  expenses may increase and its total return may be reduced depending
on the total assets of the Portfolio of the Fund.

         The Advisory Agreement of the Fixed Income Fund was approved on October
9, 1997 by the Fund's  Directors,  including a majority of the Directors who are
not  interested  persons  (as  defined  in the  1940  Act)  of the  Fund  or the
Investment Adviser. The Advisory Agreement of the Intermediate Fixed Income Fund
was approved on June 10, 1999 by the Fund's  Directors,  including a majority of
the  Directors  who are not  interested  persons  of the Fund or the  Investment
Adviser.



           ADMINISTRATOR

         The administration  agreement (the "Administration  Agreement") between
the Fund and Investors Capital Services,  Inc., the "Administrator"  will remain
in effect for a period of five  successive  annual  periods.  The  Administrator
provides for, or assists in managing and supervising all aspects of, the general
day-to-day  business activities and operations of the Fund other than investment
advisory activities,  including custodial, transfer agency, dividend disbursing,
accounting,  auditing,  compliance  and  related  services.  The  Fund  pays the
Administrator  a monthly fee at the annual  rate of 0.15% of the Fund's  average
daily net assets and the  Administrator  is entitled to  reimbursement  from the
Fund for its out-of-pocket expenses incurred under the Administration Agreement.

   CONTROL PERSONS and PRINCIPAL
       HOLDERS OF SECURITIES

As of May 30, 1999,  there were no "control  persons" nor "principal  holders of
securities"  in the  Class B shares  of the  Fixed  Income  Fund as that term is
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.


    DISTRIBUTION OF FUND SHARES

         Distribution  Agreement.  Class B Shares of the Fund are distributed by
the  Distributor  pursuant  to the  distribution  agreement  (the  "Distribution
Agreement")  between  the Fund and the  Distributor,  which  is  subject  to the
approval  of the  Fund's  Board of  Directors.  No fees are  payable by the Fund
pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, and the Distributor bears the expense of
its  distribution  activities.  The  Fund and the  Distributor  have  agreed  to
indemnify one another against certain liabilities.

         Distribution   Plan.   Each   Portfolio  of  the  Fund  has  adopted  a
Distribution Plan and related  agreements  pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940
Act, which provides that  investment  companies may pay  distribution  expenses,
directly  or  indirectly,  pursuant  to  a  distribution  plan  adopted  by  the
investment  company's  board  and  approved  by  its  shareholders.   Under  the
Distribution  Plan, Class B Shares of each Portfolio of the Fund make assistance
payments to brokers,  financial institutions and other financial  intermediaries
("payee(s)") for shareholder accounts ("qualified accounts") as to which a payee
has rendered distribution assistance services to the Class B shares at an annual
rate  of  0.25%  of  the  average  net  asset  value  of  the  Class  B  shares.
Substantially  all such monies are paid by the Investment  Adviser to payees for
their distribution assistance with any remaining amounts being used to partially
defray other expenses  incurred by the Investment  Adviser in distributing  each
Portfolio  of the Fund's  shares.  In addition  to the  amounts  required by the
Distribution Plan, the Investment Adviser may, in its discretion, pay additional
amounts from its own resources.  The rate of any additional  amounts that may be
paid will be based upon the Investment  Adviser's  analysis of the  contribution
that a payee  makes  to the  Class B  Shares  of each  Portfolio  of the Fund by
increasing  assets under  management and reducing expense ratios and the cost to
the Class B Shares of each  Portfolio of the Fund if such services were provided
directly by the Class B Shares of each Portfolio of the Fund or other authorized
persons.  The  Investment  Adviser  will also  consider  the need to  respond to
competitive offers of others,  which could result in assets being withdrawn from
the Class B Shares of each  Portfolio of the Fund and an increase in the expense
ratio for the  Class B Shares of each  Portfolio  of the  Fund.  The  Investment
Adviser may elect to retain a portion of the distribution assistance payments to
pay for sales  material or other  promotional  activities.  The  Directors  have
determined  that there is a reasonable  likelihood  the  Distribution  Plan will
benefit the Class B Shares of each Portfolio of the Fund and its shareholders.

         The  Glass-Steagall  Act prohibits all entities which receive  deposits
from engaging to any extent in the business of issuing,  underwriting,  selling,
or  distributing  securities,  although  national and state  chartered banks are
permitted to purchase and sell  securities upon the order and for the account of
their  customers.  Those  persons who wish to provide  assistance in the form of
activities not primarily  intended to result in the sale of Fund shares (such as
administrative and account maintenance  services) may include banks, upon advice
of  counsel  that  they  are  permitted  to  do so  under  applicable  laws  and
regulations, including the Glass-Steagall Act. In such event, no preference will
be given to securities  issued by such banks as  investments  and the assistance
payments  received  by such  banks  under the  Distribution  Plan may or may not
compensate the banks for their  administrative and account maintenance  services
for which the banks may also receive  compensation  from the bank  accounts they
service. It is Fund management's position that payments to banks pursuant to the
Distribution Plan for activities not primarily intended it result in the sale of
Fund shares,  such as administrative and account  maintenance  services,  do not
violate the  Glass-Steagall  Act. However,  this is an unsettled area of the law
and if a  determination  contrary  to  management's  position  is made by a bank
regulatory  agency or court  concerning  payments to banks  contemplated  by the
Distribution  Plan,  any  such  payments  will  be  terminated  and  any  shares
registered in the bank's name, for its underlying  customer,  will be registered
in the name of that  customer.  Financial  institutions  providing  distribution
assistance or  administrative  services for the Fund may be required to register
as a securities dealer in certain states.

Under  the  Distribution  Plan,  the  Fund's  Controller  or  Treasurer  reports
quarterly  the  amounts  and  purposes  of  assistance   payments.   During  the
continuance  of the  Distribution  Plan  the  selection  and  nomination  of the
disinterested  Directors are at the  discretion of the  disinterested  Directors
currently in office.


The  Distribution  Plan and  related  agreements  were duly  approved by Class B
shareholders  of each Portfolio and may be terminated at any time by a vote of a
majority of the outstanding  voting  securities or by vote of the  disinterested
Directors. The Distribution Plan and related agreements may be renewed from year
to year if approved by a vote of the majority of the Board of Directors,  and by
the vote of a  majority  of the  disinterested  Directors  cast in  person  at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on such renewal.  The Distribution Plan
may  not  be  amended  to  increase  materially  the  amount  to  be  spent  for
distribution  without  Class B shareholder  of each  Portfolios'  approval.  All
material  amendments to the Distribution  Plan must be approved by a vote of the
Board of  Directors  and of the  disinterested  Directors,  cast in  person at a
meeting called for the purpose of such vote.

                  SUPPLEMENTAL DESCRIPTIONS OF
                          INVESTMENTS


The investment objective of the Fixed Income Fund is to provide investors with a
total  return  which  consistently  exceeds  the total  return of the broad U.S.
investment  grade bond market as measured by the Lehman Brothers  Aggregate Bond
Index.  The  investment  objective of the  Intermediate  Fixed Income Fund is to
provide  investors  with a total  return  which  consistently  exceeds the total
return of the  intermediate  portion  of the broad  U.S.  investment  grade bond
market as  measured by the Lehman  Brothers  Intermediate  Government  Corporate
Index.  The  different  types of securities in which a Portfolio of the Fund may
invest,  subject to its investment  objective,  policies and  restrictions,  are
described in the Prospectus  under  "Descriptions  of  Investments."  Additional
information  concerning the  characteristics  of certain of the investments of a
Portfolio  of the  Fund  is set  forth  below.  Each  Portfolio  of the  Fund is
permitted to invest in the same types of  securities.  Any reference to the term
Fund in the  following  section is intended to include  both  Portfolios  of the
Fund.

         Bank    Obligations.
The Fund  limits  its   investments   in U.S.     bank     obligations     to
obligations  of U.S.  banks  that in the  Investment   Adviser's  opinion
meet   sufficient   creditworthiness criteria.

         The  Fund  limits  its  investments  in  foreign  bank  obligations  to
obligations of foreign banks (including U.S. branches of foreign banks) that, in
the opinion of the Investment  Adviser,  are of an investment quality comparable
to obligations of U.S. banks in which the Fund may invest.

         Eurodollar   and   Yankee
Obligations.     Eurodollar     bank obligations  are  dollar-denominated
certificates  of  deposit  and  time deposits  issued  outside  the  U.S.
capital     markets    by    foreign branches   of  U.S.   banks  and  by
foreign    banks.     Yankee    bank obligations        are       dollar-
denominated  obligations  issued  in the   U.S.    capital   markets   by
foreign banks.


Investment  Funds.  The Fund is permitted to invest in investment funds and will
make such investments only where appropriate given that the Fund's  shareholders
will bear indirectly the layer of expenses of the underlying investment funds in
addition to their proportionate share of the expenses of the Fund.

         Mortgage-Backed Securities.
Mortgage-backed securities  are   securities   which represent  ownership
interests  in, or  are  debt  obligations   secured
entirely or  primarily  by,  "pools" of    residential    or   commercial
mortgage      loans     or     other mortgage-backed    securities   (the
"Underlying  Assets").  In the  case of    mortgage-backed     securities
representing   ownership   interests in  the   Underlying   Assets,   the
principal  and interest  payments on the  underlying  mortgage  loans are
distributed  monthly to the  holders of        the        mortgage-backed
securities.    In   the    case   of mortgage-backed           securities
representing     debt    obligations secured  by the  Underlying  Assets,
the     principal    and    interest payments    on    the     underlying
mortgage     loans,      and     any reinvestment     income     thereon,
provide   the   funds  to  pay  debt service   on  such   mortgage-backed
securities.

         Certain  mortgage-backed  securities  represent an undivided fractional
interest in the entirety of the Underlying  Assets (or in a substantial  portion
of the  Underlying  Assets,  with  additional  interests  junior  to that of the
mortgage-backed security), and thus have payment terms that closely resemble the
payment terms of the Underlying Assets.

         In addition,  many  mortgage-backed  securities  are issued in multiple
classes.  Each class of such  multi-class  mortgage-backed  securities  ("MBS"),
often  referred to as a  "traunche",  is issued at a specific  fixed or floating
coupon rate and has a stated  maturity  or final  distribution  date.  Principal
prepayment  on  the  Underlying   Assets  may  cause  the  MBSs  to  be  retired
substantially  earlier than their stated maturities or final distribution dates.
Interest  is paid or  accrues  on all or most  classes of the MBSs on a periodic
basis,  typically  monthly or  quarterly.  The  principal of and interest on the
Underlying  Assets may be allocated  among the several  classes of a series of a
MBS in many  different  ways.  In a  relatively  common  structure,  payments of
principal  (including any principal  prepayments)  on the Underlying  Assets are
applied  to the  classes  of a series of a MBS in the order of their  respective
stated  maturities so that no payment of principal  will be made on any class of
MBSs until all other classes having an earlier stated maturity have been paid in
full.

         Municipal Instruments.  Municipal notes may include such instruments as
tax anticipation notes, revenue anticipation notes, and bond anticipation notes.
Municipal notes are issued by state and local governments and public authorities
as interim  financing in anticipation of tax  collections,  revenue  receipts or
bond  sales.  Municipal  bonds,  which may be issued to raise  money for various
public purposes,  include general  obligation  bonds and revenue bonds.  General
obligation bonds are backed by the taxing power of the issuing  municipality and
are  considered  the  safest  type of bonds.  Revenue  bonds  are  backed by the
revenues  of a  project  or  facility  such  as the  tolls  from a toll  bridge.
Industrial  development revenue bonds are a specific type of revenue bond backed
by the  credit and  security  of a private  user.  Revenue  bonds are  generally
considered to have more potential risk than general obligation bonds.

         Municipal  obligations can have floating,  variable or fixed rates. The
value of floating and variable  rate  obligations  generally is more stable than
that of fixed rate  obligations  in response to changes in interest rate levels.
Variable and floating rate obligations usually carry rights that permit the Fund
to sell them at par value plus accrued  interest upon short notice.  The issuers
or financial  intermediaries  providing rights to sell may support their ability
to purchase the obligations by obtaining credit with liquidity  supports.  These
may include lines of credit,  which are  conditional  commitments  to lend,  and
letters of credit, which will ordinarily be irrevocable, both issued by domestic
banks or foreign  banks which have a branch,  agency or subsidiary in the United
States.  When  considering  whether  an  obligation  meets  the  Fund's  quality
standards, the Investment Adviser will look at the creditworthiness of the party
providing the right to sell as well as to the quality of the obligation itself.

         Municipal  securities may be issued to finance private activities,  the
interest  from which is an item of tax  preference  for  purposes of the federal
alternative  minimum tax. Such "private activity" bonds might include industrial
development  revenue  bonds,  and bonds issued to finance such projects as solid
waste disposal facilities, student loans or water and sewage projects

         Other Asset-Backed Securities.
The  Fund  may  invest in  other  asset-backed securities (unrelated
to   mortgage    loans) including   securities   backed   by
automobile  loans  and  credit  card receivables.

         Repurchase Agreements. When participating in repurchase agreements, the
Fund buys  securities  from a vendor (e.g., a bank or securities  firm) with the
agreement that the vendor will  repurchase the securities at the same price plus
interest at a later date.  Repurchase  agreements may be  characterized as loans
secured by the underlying  securities.  Such transactions  afford an opportunity
for the Fund to earn a return on available cash at minimal market risk, although
the Fund may be  subject  to  various  delays  and  risks of loss if the  vendor
becomes subject to a proceeding  under the U.S.  Bankruptcy Code or is otherwise
unable  to meet its  obligation  to  repurchase.  The  securities  underlying  a
repurchase  agreement  will be marked to market  every  business day so that the
value of such securities is at least equal to the value of the repurchase  price
thereof, including the accrued interest thereon.

         In addition,  repurchase  agreements may also involve the securities of
certain foreign  governments in which there is an active repurchase  market. The
Investment  Adviser  expects  that such  repurchase  agreements  will  primarily
involve  government  securities of countries  belonging to the  Organization for
Economic   Cooperation  and  Development   ("OECD").   Transactions  in  foreign
repurchase agreements may involve additional risks.

         U.S.  Treasury  and  U.S.
Government    Agency     Securities.
U.S.  Government  Securities include instruments   issued   by  the  U.S.
Treasury,   including  bills,  notes and  bonds.  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.    In   addition,    U.S.
Government     Securities    include securities         issued         by
instrumentalities    of   the   U.S. Government,  such as the  Government
National    Mortgage     Association ("GNMA"),  which are also  backed by
the full  faith  and  credit  of the United   States.   U.S.   Government
Agency      Securities       include instruments         issued        by
instrumentalities   established   or sponsored  by the  U.S.  Government,
such as the Student  Loan  Marketing Association  ("SLMA"),  the  Federal
National    Mortgage     Association ("FNMA")  and the Federal  Home Loan
Mortgage   Corporation    ("FHLMC"). While these  securities  are issued,
in general,  under the  authority of an  Act  of   Congress,   the   U.S.
Government   is  not   obligated  to provide  financial  support  to  the
issuing instrumentalities.

         Variable  Amount  Master Demand  Notes.  Variable  amount master demand
notes permit the investment of fluctuating  amounts at varying rates of interest
pursuant to direct  arrangements  between the Fund (as lender) and the borrower.
These notes are direct lending arrangements  between lenders and borrowers,  and
are generally not transferable,  nor are they ordinarily rated by either Moody's
Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor's Corporation, Fitch Investors Service,
Inc., or Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co.

          Zero Coupon Securities and Custodial Receipts.  Zero coupon securities
include securities issued directly by the U.S. Treasury, and U.S. Treasury bonds
or notes and their unmatured  interest coupons and receipts for their underlying
principal (the "coupons") which have been separated by their holder, typically a
custodian bank or investment brokerage firm. A holder will separate the interest
coupons  from the  underlying  principal  (the  "corpus")  of the U.S.  Treasury
security.  A number of  securities  firms and banks have  stripped  the interest
coupons and receipts and then resold them in custodial  receipt  programs with a
number of different names, including "Treasury Income Growth Receipts" ("TIGRS")
and  "Certificate  of Accrual  on  Treasuries"  ("CATS").  The  underlying  U.S.
Treasury bonds and notes  themselves are held in book-entry  form at the Federal
Reserve Bank or, in the case of bearer securities (i.e., unregistered securities
which are owned ostensibly by the bearer or holder thereof),  in trust on behalf
of the owners  thereof.  Counsel to the  underwriters  of these  certificates or
other  evidences of ownership of the U.S.  Treasury  securities have stated that
for Federal tax and  securities law purposes,  in their  opinion,  purchasers of
such  certificates,  such as the Fund, most likely will be deemed the beneficial
holders of the underlying U.S. Treasury securities.

         Recently,    the   Treasury has    facilitated    transfer    of
ownership     of     zero     coupon securities       by       accounting
separately    for   the   beneficial ownership  of  particular   interest
coupon   and  corpus   payments   on Treasury   securities   through  the
Federal      Reserve      book-entry record-keeping      system.      The
Federal     Reserve    program    as established    by    the    Treasury
Department  is  known  as  "Separate Trading of  Registered  Interest and
Principal       of       Securities" ("STRIPS").    Under   the    STRIPS
program,  the  Fund  can be  able to have  its  beneficial  ownership  of
zero  coupon   securities   recorded directly    in    the     book-entry
record-keeping  system  in  lieu  of holding    certificates   or   other
evidences   of   ownership   of  the underlying U.S. Treasury securities.

         When U.S.  Treasury  obligations  have been stripped of their unmatured
interest  coupons  by the  holder,  the  principal  or  corpus is sold at a deep
discount  because the buyer  receives  only the right to receive a future  fixed
payment on the  security  and does not receive  any rights to periodic  interest
(cash) payments. Once stripped or separated,  the corpus and coupons may be sold
separately.  Typically,  the coupons are sold  separately  or grouped with other
coupons with like maturity  dates and sold in such bundled  form.  Purchasers of
stripped  obligations   acquire,  in  effect,   discount  obligations  that  are
economically  identical to the zero coupon  securities  that the Treasury  sells
itself.


  SUPPLEMENTAL DISCUSSION OF RISKS
     ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUND'S
 INVESTMENT POLICIES AND INVESTMENT
             TECHNIQUES

         The risks  associated  with the different  types of securities in which
the Fund may invest are described in the Prospectus under "Risks Associated With
the  Fund's   Investment   Policies  and  Investment   Techniques."   Additional
information   concerning   risks   associated  with  certain  of  a  Portfolio's
investments  is set forth  below.  Each  Portfolio  of the Fund is  permitted to
invest in the same types of  securities.  Any  reference to the term Fund in the
following section is intended to include both Portfolios of the Fund.

         Eurodollar and Yankee  Obligations.  Eurodollar and Yankee  obligations
are subject to the same risks that pertain to domestic  issues,  notably  credit
risk, market risk and liquidity risk. Additionally, Eurodollar (and to a limited
extent,  Yankee)  obligations are subject to certain  sovereign  risks. One such
risk is the possibility that a sovereign  country might prevent capital,  in the
form of dollars, from flowing across their borders. Other risks include: adverse
political  and  economic  developments;  the  extent and  quality of  government
regulation  of financial  markets and  institutions;  the  imposition of foreign
withholding taxes; and the expropriation or nationalization of foreign issuers.

         Futures  contracts.  The Fund may enter into contracts for the purchase
or sale for future delivery (a "futures contract") of fixed-income securities or
foreign currencies,  or contracts based on financial indices including any index
of U.S. Government  Securities,  foreign government securities or corporate debt
securities.  U.S.  futures  contracts have been designed by exchanges which have
been designated as "contracts markets" by the CFTC, and must be executed through
a futures  commission  merchant,  or  brokerage  firm,  which is a member of the
relevant  contract  market.  Futures  contracts  trade on a number  of  exchange
markets and,  through  their  clearing  corporations,  the  exchanges  guarantee
performance  of the  contracts as between the clearing  members of the exchange.
The Fund will enter into  futures  contracts  that are based on debt  securities
that are  backed by the full faith and  credit of the U.S.  Government,  such as
long-term  U.S.  Treasury  Bonds,  Treasury  Notes,  GNMA-modified  pass-through
mortgage-backed securities and three-month U.S. Treasury Bills.

         The Fund would purchase or sell futures contracts to attempt to protect
the U.S. dollar-equivalent value of its securities from fluctuations in interest
or foreign  exchange  rates  without  actually  buying or selling  securities or
foreign  currency.  For  example,  if the Fund  expected  the value of a foreign
currency to increase against the U.S. dollar,  the Fund might enter into futures
contracts  for the sale of that  currency.  Such a sale would have much the same
effect as selling an equivalent value of foreign  currency.  If the currency did
increase,  the value of the securities in the portfolio  would decline,  but the
value of the futures  contracts to the Fund would increase at approximately  the
same rate,  thereby  keeping the net asset value of the Fund from  declining  as
much as it otherwise would have.

         Although futures  contracts by their terms call for the actual delivery
or  acquisition  of  securities  or  currency,  in most  cases  the  contractual
obligation is fulfilled  before the date of the contract  without having to make
or take delivery of the securities or currency.  The offsetting of a contractual
obligation  is  accomplished  by buying  (or  selling,  as the case may be) on a
commodities  exchange an identical  futures contract calling for delivery in the
same  month.  Such a  transaction,  which is  effected  through  a member  of an
exchange,  cancels the  obligation to make or take delivery of the securities or
currency.  Since all  transactions  in the  futures  market are made,  offset or
fulfilled  through a  clearinghouse  associated  with the  exchange on which the
contracts are traded,  the Fund will incur  brokerage  fees when it purchases or
sells futures contracts.

         At the time a futures  contract  is  purchased  or sold,  the Fund must
allocate cash or  securities  as a deposit  payment  ("initial  margin").  It is
expected that the initial margin on U.S.  exchanges may range from approximately
3% to approximately 15% of the value of the securities or commodities underlying
the contract.  Under  certain  circumstances,  however,  such as periods of high
volatility, the Fund may be required by an exchange to increase the level of its
initial  margin  payment.  Additionally,  initial  margin  requirements  may  be
increased  generally in the future by regulatory action. An outstanding  futures
contract is valued  daily and the payment in cash of  "variation  margin" may be
required, a process known as "marking to the market".  Each day the Fund will be
required to provide (or will be  entitled  to  receive)  variation  margin in an
amount equal to any decline (in the case of a long futures position) or increase
(in the case of a short  futures  position)  in the  contract's  value since the
preceding day.

         Futures  contracts  entail  special  risks.  Among  other  things,  the
ordinary  spreads  between  values  in the  cash  and  futures  markets,  due to
differences  in the  character  of these  markets,  are  subject to  distortions
relating to (1)  investors'  obligations  to meet  additional  variation  margin
requirements,  (2) decisions to make or take delivery, rather than entering into
offsetting  transactions and (3) the difference  between margin  requirements in
the securities  markets and margin deposit  requirements  in the futures market.
The  possibility  of such  distortion  means that a correct  forecast of general
market,  foreign exchange rate or interest rate trends by the Investment Adviser
may still not result in a successful transaction.

         Although the Investment Adviser believes that use of such contracts and
options  thereon will benefit the Fund,  if the  Investment  Adviser's  judgment
about the general  direction of securities  market  movements,  foreign exchange
rates or interest rates is incorrect,  the Fund's overall  performance  would be
poorer  than if it had not  entered  into any such  contracts  or  purchased  or
written  options  thereon.  For  example,  if the Fund had  hedged  against  the
possibility  of an increase in interest rates which would  adversely  affect the
price of debt  securities  held in its  portfolio and interest  rates  decreased
instead,  the Fund would lose part or all of the benefit of the increased  value
of its assets which it had hedged because it would have offsetting losses in its
futures positions. In addition, particularly in such situations, if the Fund has
insufficient  cash,  it may have to sell assets from its portfolio to meet daily
variation  margin  requirements.  Any  such  sale of  assets  may,  but will not
necessarily,   be  at  increased   prices  which  reflect  the  rising   market.
Consequently,  the  Fund  may  have  to  sell  assets  at a time  when it may be
disadvantageous to do so.

         The Fund's  ability to  establish  and close out  positions  in futures
contracts and options on futures  contracts  will be subject to the  development
and maintenance of a liquid market. Although the Fund generally will purchase or
sell only those futures contracts and options thereon for which there appears to
be a liquid  market,  there is no assurance  that a liquid market on an exchange
will  exist  for any  particular  futures  contract  or  option  thereon  at any
particular time.  Where it is not possible to effect a closing  transaction in a
contract to do so at a satisfactory  price,  the Fund would have to make or take
delivery  under the  futures  contract  or, in the case of a  purchased  option,
exercise the option.  In the case of a futures  contract  that the Fund has sold
and is unable to close  out,  the Fund  would be  required  to  maintain  margin
deposits on the futures contract and to make variation margin payments until the
contract is closed.

         Under certain  circumstances,  exchanges may establish  daily limits in
the amount that the price of a futures  contract or related option  contract may
vary either up or down from the previous day's settlement  price. Once the daily
limit has been reached in a particular contract,  no trades may be made that day
at a price  beyond that  limit.  The daily limit  governs  only price  movements
during a particular  trading day and therefore does not limit  potential  losses
because the limit may prevent the liquidation of unfavorable positions.  Futures
or options contract prices could move to the daily limit for several consecutive
trading days with little or no trading and thereby prevent prompt liquidation of
positions and subject some traders to substantial losses.

         Buyers and sellers of foreign currency futures contracts are subject to
the same risks that apply to the use of futures  generally.  In addition,  there
are risks associated with foreign  currency  futures  contracts and their use as
hedging devices similar to those  associated with options on foreign  currencies
described above. Further, settlement of a foreign currency futures contract must
occur within the country  issuing the underlying  currency.  Thus, the Fund must
accept or make delivery of the underlying  foreign  currency in accordance  with
any U.S. or foreign  restrictions  or regulations  regarding the  maintenance of
foreign banking  arrangements  by U.S.  residents and may be required to pay any
fees,  taxes or charges  associated  with such delivery that are assessed in the
country of the underlying currency.

         Illiquid and  Restricted  Securities.  Under the 1940 Act, the Fund may
invest up to 15% of the value of its assets in illiquid assets.  Illiquid assets
are investments that are difficult to sell at the price at which such assets are
valued by the Fund  within  seven  days of the date a  decision  to sell them is
made. Securities treated as illiquid assets include:  over-the-counter  options;
repurchase  agreements,  time deposits, and dollar roll transactions maturing in
more than seven days; loan participations;  securities without readily available
market quotations, including interests in private commingled investment vehicles
in which the Fund might invest; and certain restricted securities.  Iliiquid and
restricted  securities,  including private placements,  are generally subject to
legal or contractual  restrictions on resale.  They can be eligible for purchase
without SEC registration by certain institutional  investors known as "qualified
institutional buyers."

         The Board of  Directors  of the Fund may  consider  certain  restricted
securities  (including but not limited to Rule 144A and Section 4(2)  commercial
paper) liquid if such  securities  meet  specified  criteria  established by the
Fund's Board of  Directors.  Due to the absence of an organized  market for such
securities,  interim valuations of the market value of illiquid  securities used
in calculating  Fund net asset values for purchases and  redemptions can diverge
substantially  from  their  true  value,   notwithstanding  the  application  of
appraisal  methods  deemed  appropriate  and prudent by the Fund's Board and the
Fund's   independent   accountants.   Due  to  possible   restrictions   on  the
transferability of illiquid securities, forced liquidation of such securities to
meet  redemption  requests  could produce large losses.  Although,  the 1940 Act
permits  the Fund to invest up to 15% of its  assets  in these  securities;  the
Investment Adviser does not anticipate investing over 5% of the Fund's assets in
these securities.

         Mortgage and Other Asset-Backed Securities.  Prepayments on securitized
assets  such  as  mortgages,   automobile  loans  and  credit  card  receivables
("Securitized  Assets")  generally  increase  with  falling  interest  rates and
decrease  with  rising  interest  rates;   furthermore,   prepayment  rates  are
influenced  by a variety  of  economic  and  social  factors.  In  general,  the
collateral  supporting  non-mortgage   asset-backed  securities  is  of  shorter
maturity  than  mortgage  loans  and is less  likely to  experience  substantial
prepayments.  In  addition  to  prepayment  risk,  borrowers  on the  underlying
Securitized  Assets may  default in their  payments  creating  delays or loss of
principal.

         Non-mortgage asset-backed securities involve certain risks that are not
presented by mortgage-backed securities. Primarily, these securities do not have
the benefit of a security  interest in assets  underlying  the related  mortgage
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  servicers  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.  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 an effective security interest in all of the
obligations  backing such  receivables.  Therefore,  there is a possibility that
recoveries on  repossessed  collateral  may not, in some cases,  be available to
support payments on these securities.

         Some  forms of  asset-backed  securities  are  relatively  new forms of
investments.  Although the Fund will only invest in asset-backed securities that
the Investment  Adviser  believes are liquid,  because the market  experience in
certain  of these  securities  is  limited,  the  market's  ability  to  sustain
liquidity through all phases of a market cycle may not have been tested.

         Options  on  Foreign  Currencies.  The Fund may  purchase  and sell (or
write) put and call options on foreign  currencies to protect  against a decline
in the U.S.  dollar-equivalent value of its portfolio securities or payments due
thereon  or a rise in the  U.S.  dollar-equivalent  cost of  securities  that it
intends to purchase.  A foreign currency put option grants the holder the right,
but not the obligation, at a future date to sell a specified amount of a foreign
currency to its  counterparty at a predetermined  price.  Conversely,  a foreign
currency call option  grants the holder the right,  but not the  obligation,  to
purchase  at a  future  date a  specified  amount  of a  foreign  currency  at a
predetermined price.

         As in the  case of other  types of  options,  the  benefit  to the Fund
deriving  from the purchase of foreign  currency  options will be reduced by the
amount of the premium and related transaction costs. In addition, where currency
exchange  rates do not move in the direction or to the extent  anticipated,  the
Fund could sustain  losses on  transactions  in foreign  currency  options which
would  require it to forego a portion  or all of the  benefits  of  advantageous
changes in such rates.

         The Fund may write options on foreign  currencies for hedging purposes.
For example, where the Fund anticipates a decline in the dollar value of foreign
currency denominated securities due to adverse fluctuations in exchange rates it
could,  instead of purchasing a put option,  write a call option on the relevant
currency.  If the expected  decline  occurs,  the option will most likely not be
exercised,  and the decrease in value of portfolio  securities will be offset by
the amount of the premium received.

         Similarly,  instead of  purchasing  a call  option to hedge  against an
anticipated increase in the dollar costs of securities to be acquired,  the Fund
could write a put option on the relevant  currency  which,  if rates move in the
manner  projected,  will  expire  unexercised  and allow the Fund to hedge  such
increased  costs up to the amount of the premium.  As in the case of other types
of options,  however,  the writing of a foreign  currency option will constitute
only a partial hedge up to the amount of the premium,  and only if rates move in
the  expected  direction.  If this  movement  does not occur,  the option may be
exercised  and the Fund would be required  to  purchase  or sell the  underlying
currency at a loss which may not be fully  offset by the amount of the  premium.
Through  the  writing of options  on  foreign  currencies,  the Fund also may be
required to forego all or a portion of the benefits  that might  otherwise  have
been obtained from favorable movements in exchange rates.

         Options  on  Futures  Contracts.  The  purchase  of a call  option on a
futures contract is similar in some respects to the purchase of a call option on
an  individual  security  or  currency.  Depending  on the pricing of the option
compared to either the price of the futures  contract  upon which it is based or
the price of the  underlying  securities or currency,  it may or may not be less
risky than  ownership of the futures  contract or the  underlying  securities or
currency. As with the purchase of futures contracts,  when the Fund is not fully
invested it may purchase a call option on a futures  contract to hedge against a
market advance due to declining  interest rates or a change in foreign  exchange
rates.

         The  writing  of a call  option on a  futures  contract  constitutes  a
partial hedge against declining prices of the security or foreign currency which
is deliverable  upon exercise of the futures  contract.  If the futures price at
expiration of the option is below the exercise  price,  the Fund will retain the
full amount of the option  premium  which  provides a partial  hedge against any
decline that may have occurred in the Fund's portfolio holdings.  The writing of
a  put  option  on a  futures  contract  constitutes  a  partial  hedge  against
increasing  prices of the security or foreign currency which is deliverable upon
exercise of the futures  contract.  If the futures  price at  expiration  of the
option is higher than the exercise  price,  the Fund will retain the full amount
of the option premium which provides a partial hedge against any increase in the
price of securities which the Fund intends to purchase.  If a put or call option
the Fund has  written  is  exercised,  the Fund  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 futures  positions,  the Fund's losses from existing options
on futures may to some extent be reduced or increased by changes in the value of
portfolio securities.

         The  purchase of a put option on a futures  contract is similar in some
respects to the purchase of protective put options on portfolio securities.  For
example,  the Fund may purchase a put option on a futures  contract to hedge its
portfolio against the risk of rising interest rates.

         The amount of risk the Fund  assumes  when it  purchases an option on a
futures  contract is the premium  paid for the option plus  related  transaction
costs. In addition to the correlation  risks discussed above, the purchase of an
option also entails the risk that changes in the value of the underlying futures
contract will not be fully reflected in the value of the option purchased.

         Options on foreign  currency  futures  contracts  may  involve  certain
additional  risks.  Trading  options on foreign  currency  futures  contracts is
relatively new. The ability to establish and close out positions in such options
is subject to the  maintenance of a liquid  secondary  market.  To mitigate this
problem, the Fund will not purchase or write options on foreign currency futures
contracts unless and until, in the Investment  Adviser's opinion, the market for
such options has developed  sufficiently  that the risks in connection with such
options are not greater than the risks in connection  with  transactions  in the
underlying foreign currency futures contracts.  Compared to the purchase or sale
of foreign  currency  futures  contracts,  the  purchase  of call or put options
thereon  involves less  potential risk to the Fund because the maximum amount at
risk is the premium paid for the option (plus transaction costs). However, there
may be  circumstances  when the  purchase  of a call or put  option on a foreign
currency  futures  contract  would  result in a loss,  such as when  there is no
movement in the price of the underlying  currency or futures contract,  when use
of the underlying futures contract would not.

         Options  on  Securities.  The Fund may also  enter  into  closing  sale
transactions  with  respect  to  options  it has  purchased.  A put  option on a
security grants the holder the right,  but not the obligation,  at a future date
to sell the security to its counterparty at a predetermined price. Conversely, a
call option on a security  grants the holder the right,  but not the obligation,
to  purchase  at  a  future  date  the  security  underlying  the  option  at  a
predetermined price.

         The Fund would  normally  purchase  put  options in  anticipation  of a
decline in the market value of  securities  in its  portfolio or  securities  it
intends to  purchase.  If the Fund  purchased  a put option and the value of the
security in fact declined  below the strike price of the option,  the Fund would
have the right to sell that  security to its  counterparty  for the strike price
(or realize the value of the option by entering into a closing transaction), and
consequently  would protect itself against any further  decrease in the value of
the security during the term of the option.

         Conversely,  if the Investment Adviser anticipates that a security that
it  intends  to  acquire  will  increase  in value,  it might  cause the Fund to
purchase a call option on that security or securities  similar to that security.
If the value of the security does rise,  the call option may wholly or partially
offset the  increased  price of the  security.  As in the case of other types of
options,  however,  the benefit to the Fund will be reduced by the amount of the
premium  paid to purchase  the option and any  related  transaction  costs.  If,
however,  the value of the security  fell  instead of rose,  the Fund would have
foregone a portion of the benefit of the decreased  price of the security in the
amount of the option premium and the related transaction costs.

         The Fund would purchase put and call options on securities  indices for
the same  purposes  as it would  purchase  options  on  securities.  Options  on
securities  indices are similar to options on securities except that the options
reflect the change in price of a group of  securities  rather than an individual
security and the exercise of options on  securities  indices are settled in cash
rather than by delivery of the securities  comprising  the index  underlying the
option.

         Transactions  by the  Fund in  options  on  securities  and  securities
indices  will  be  governed  by the  rules  and  regulations  of the  respective
exchanges,  boards of trade or other trading facilities on which the options are
traded.

         Considerations  Concerning Options.  The writer of an option receives a
premium  which it retains  regardless  of whether the option is  exercised.  The
purchaser  of a call option has the right,  for a specified  period of time,  to
purchase the securities or currency  subject to the option at a specified  price
(the "exercise  price").  By writing a call option, the writer becomes obligated
during  the  term of the  option,  upon  exercise  of the  option,  to sell  the
underlying  securities  or  currency  to the  purchaser  against  receipt of the
exercise price. The writer of a call option also loses the potential for gain on
the  underlying  securities  or currency in excess of the exercise  price of the
option during the period that the option is open.

         Conversely,  the  purchaser  of a  put  option  has  the  right,  for a
specified  period of time,  to sell the  securities  or currency  subject to the
option to the writer of the put at the specified exercise price. The writer of a
put option is  obligated  during the term of the  option,  upon  exercise of the
option, to purchase securities or currency underlying the option at the exercise
price.  A writer  might,  therefore,  be obligated  to purchase  the  underlying
securities or currency for more than their current  market price or U.S.  dollar
value, respectively.

         The Fund may  purchase and sell both  exchange-traded  and OTC options.
Currently,  although many options on equity securities and options on currencies
are  exchange-traded,  options on debt  securities  are primarily  traded in the
over-the-counter  market. The writer of an exchange-traded option that wishes to
terminate its obligation may effect a "closing  purchase  transaction."  This is
accomplished  by buying an option of the same  series as the  option  previously
written.  Options  of the same  series  are  options  with  respect  to the same
underlying  security or currency,  having the same  expiration date and the same
exercise  price.  Likewise,  an  investor  who is the  holder of an  option  may
liquidate  a  position  by  effecting  a  "closing  sale  transaction."  This is
accomplished  by selling an option of the same  series as the option  previously
purchased.  There is no  guarantee  that either a closing  purchase or a closing
sale transaction can be effected.

         An  exchange-traded  option position may be closed out only where there
exists a  secondary  market  for an option of the same  series.  For a number of
reasons,  a  secondary  market may not exist for  options  held by the Fund,  or
trading in such options  might be limited or halted by the exchange on which the
option is  trading,  in which case it might not be  possible  to effect  closing
transactions  in particular  options the Fund has purchased with the result that
the Fund would have to exercise  the options in order to realize any profit.  If
the Fund is  unable  to effect a closing  purchase  transaction  in a  secondary
market  in an  option  the  Fund  has  written,  it will not be able to sell the
underlying  security  or  currency  until the  option  expires  or  deliver  the
underlying security or currency upon exercise or otherwise cover its position.

         Exchange-traded  options in the United  States are issued by a clearing
organization  affiliated  with the exchange on which the option is listed which,
in effect, guarantees every exchange-traded option transaction. In contrast, OTC
options are  contracts  between the Fund and its  counterparty  with no clearing
organization guarantee.  Thus, when the Fund purchases OTC options, it relies on
the dealer from which it  purchased  the OTC option to make or take  delivery of
the  securities  underlying  the  option.  Failure  by the dealer to do so would
result  in the loss of the  premium  paid by the Fund as well as the loss of the
expected benefit of the transaction.  The Investment  Adviser will only purchase
options from dealers determined by the Investment Adviser to be creditworthy.

         Exchange-traded  options  generally  have a  continuous  liquid  market
whereas OTC options may not.  Consequently,  the Fund will  generally be able to
realize the value of an OTC option it has  purchased  only by  exercising  it or
reselling it to the dealer who issued it. Similarly, when the Fund writes an OTC
option,  it  generally  will be able to close  out the OTC  option  prior to its
expiration only by entering into a closing purchase  transaction with the dealer
to which the Fund originally wrote the OTC option.  Although the Fund will enter
into OTC  options  only with  dealers  that  agree to enter  into,  and that are
expected to be capable of entering  into,  closing  transactions  with the Fund,
there can be no assurance  that the Fund will be able to liquidate an OTC option
at a favorable price at any time prior to expiration.  Until the Fund is able to
effect a closing purchase  transaction in a covered OTC call option the Fund has
written,  it will not be able to  liquidate  securities  used as cover until the
option expires or is exercised or different cover is  substituted.  In the event
of  insolvency of the  counterparty,  the Fund may be unable to liquidate an OTC
option.  In the case of options written by the Fund, the inability to enter into
a closing  purchase  transaction  may result in material losses to the Fund. For
example,  since the Fund must  maintain a covered  position  with respect to any
call option on a security  it writes,  the Fund may be limited in its ability to
sell the underlying  security while the option is  outstanding.  This may impair
the Fund's ability to sell the Fund security at a time when such a sale might be
advantageous.

         There is no systematic  reporting of last sale  information for foreign
currencies or any  regulatory  requirement  that  quotations  available  through
dealers or other market sources be firm or revised on a timely basis.  Quotation
information available is generally  representative of very large transactions in
the interbank market and thus may not reflect  relatively  smaller  transactions
(i.e.,  less than $1 million) where rates may be less  favorable.  The interbank
market in foreign currencies is a global, around-the-clock market. To the extent
that the U.S.  options  markets are closed while the markets for the  underlying
currencies  remain open,  significant price and rate movements may take place in
the underlying markets that cannot be reflected in the options market until they
reopen.  Because foreign currency transactions occurring in the interbank market
involve  substantially larger amounts than those that may be involved in the use
of foreign currency options, investors may be disadvantaged by having to deal in
an odd lot market (generally consisting of transactions of less than $1 million)
for the underlying foreign currencies at prices that are less favorable than for
round lots.

         The use of  options to hedge the  Fund's  foreign  currency-denominated
portfolio, or to enhance return raises additional  considerations.  As described
above, the Fund may, among other things,  purchase call options on securities it
intends to acquire in order to hedge against  anticipated market appreciation in
the price of the  underlying  security  or  currency.  If the market  price does
increase as  anticipated,  the Fund will benefit from that  increase but only to
the extent that the increase  exceeds the premium  paid and related  transaction
costs.  If the  anticipated  rise  does not occur or if it does not  exceed  the
amount of the  premium  and related  transaction  costs,  the Fund will bear the
expense of the options  without  gaining an  offsetting  benefit.  If the market
price of the underlying  currency or securities should fall instead of rise, the
benefit the Fund obtains from  purchasing  the currency or securities at a lower
price will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the call options and
by transaction costs.

         The Fund also may  purchase  put  options on  currencies  or  portfolio
securities  when it believes a defensive  posture is  warranted.  Protection  is
provided  during  the life of a put  option  because  the put gives the Fund the
right to sell the  underlying  currency or security at the put  exercise  price,
regardless of a decline in the underlying  currency's or security's market price
below  the  exercise  price.  This  right  limits  the  Fund's  losses  from the
currency's or security's  possible  decline in value below the exercise price of
the option to the premium paid for the option and related  transaction costs. If
the market  price of the  currency  or the Fund's  securities  should  increase,
however,  the profit that the Fund might otherwise have realized will be reduced
by the amount of the premium paid for the put option and by transaction costs.

         The value of an option position will reflect,  among other things,  the
current market price of the underlying currency or security,  the time remaining
until  expiration,  the  relationship of the exercise price to the market price,
the  historical  price  volatility  of the  underlying  currency or security and
general market  conditions.  For this reason, the successful use of options as a
hedging strategy depends upon the ability of the Investment  Adviser to forecast
the direction of price  fluctuations  in the  underlying  currency or securities
market.

         Options  normally  have  expiration  dates  of up to nine  months.  The
exercise price of the options may be below, equal to or above the current market
values of the  underlying  securities  or  currency  at the time the options are
written.  Options  purchased by the Fund that expire  unexercised have no value,
and  therefore a loss will be  realized  in the amount of the premium  paid (and
related  transaction  costs). If an option purchased by the Fund is in-the-money
prior to its  expiration  date,  unless the Fund  exercises the option or enters
into a closing  transaction  with  respect to that  position,  the Fund will not
realize any gain on its option position.

         The  Fund's  activities  in the  options  market  may  result in higher
portfolio turnover rates and additional brokerage costs. Nevertheless,  the Fund
may also save on  commissions  and  transaction  costs by hedging  through  such
activities  rather than buying or selling  securities  or foreign  currencies in
anticipation of market moves or foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

         Repurchase  Agreements.  The  use  of  repurchase  agreements  involves
certain  risks.  For example,  if the seller of the  agreements  defaults on its
obligation to repurchase the  underlying  securities at a time when the value of
these  securities  has declined,  the Fund may incur a loss upon  disposition of
them.  If  the  seller  of  the  agreement  becomes  insolvent  and  subject  to
liquidation  or  reorganization  under  the  Bankruptcy  Code or other  laws,  a
bankruptcy court may determine that the underlying securities are collateral not
within the control of the Fund and  therefore  subject to sale by the trustee in
bankruptcy.  Finally,  it  is  possible  that  the  Fund  may  not  be  able  to
substantiate  its  interest  in the  underlying  securities.  While  the  Fund's
management  acknowledges these risks, it is expected that they can be controlled
through stringent security selection criteria and careful monitoring procedures.


      INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS


The Fund has adopted the  investment  restrictions  listed below relating to the
investment  of each  Portfolio of the Fund's  assets and its  activities.  These
investment  restrictions  apply  to  each  Portfolio  of  the  Fund.  These  are
fundamental policies that may not be changed without the approval of the holders
of a majority of the outstanding  voting  securities of the Fund (which for this
purpose  and  under  the 1940 Act  means  the  lesser  of (i) 67% of the  shares
represented  at a meeting at which more than 50% of the  outstanding  shares are
represented or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding  shares). The Fund may not:
(1) borrow money,  including  entering into reverse repurchase  agreements;  (2)
make loans except that it may enter into repurchase agreements; (3) issue senior
securities;  (4) purchase securities on margin (although deposits referred to as
"margin" will be made in connection with  investments in futures  contracts,  as
explained  above,  and the Fund may  obtain  such  short-term  credits as may be
necessary  for  the  clearance  of  purchases  and  sales  of  securities);  (5)
underwrite  securities of other issuers; (6) invest in companies for the purpose
of  exercising  control or  management;  (7) purchase or sell real estate (other
than  marketable  securities  representing  interests  in,  or backed  by,  real
estate);  or (8)  purchase or sell  physical  commodities  or related  commodity
contracts.


Whenever an investment policy or limitation  states a maximum  percentage of the
Fund's  assets that may be invested in any security or other asset or sets forth
a policy regarding  quality  standards,  such standard or percentage  limitation
shall be determined  immediately after and as a result of the Fund's acquisition
of such security or other asset. Accordingly,  any later increase or decrease in
a  percentage   resulting  from  a  change  in  values,   net  assets  or  other
circumstances  will not be considered when  determining  whether that investment
complies with the Fund's investment policies and limitations.


The Fund's  investment  policies  (other than its investment  objective) are not
fundamental and may be changed by the Board of Directors of the Fund without the
approval of shareholders.

         Illiquid Securities. The staff of the Commission has taken the position
that  purchased OTC options and the assets used as cover for written OTC options
are illiquid  securities.  Therefore,  the Fund has adopted an investment policy
pursuant to which it  generally  will not  purchase or sell OTC options if, as a
result of such transaction, the sum of the market value of OTC options currently
outstanding  that are  held by the  Fund,  the  market  value of the  underlying
securities  covered by OTC call options currently  outstanding that were sold by
the Fund and margin  deposits  on the  Fund's  existing  OTC  options on futures
contracts  exceed  15% of the net  assets  of the Fund,  taken at market  value,
together  with all  other  assets  of the  Fund  that  are  illiquid  or are not
otherwise readily  marketable.  This investment policy applies to each Portfolio
of the Fund.  This policy as to OTC options is not a  fundamental  policy of the
Fund and may be amended by the Directors of the Fund without the approval of the
Fund's or the Fund's  shareholders.  However, the Fund will not change or modify
this policy prior to a change or  modification  by the  Commission  staff of its
position.


         PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

         Each  Portfolio  of the Fund  may  engage  in  portfolio  trading  when
considered  appropriate,  but short-term trading will not be used as the primary
means of achieving its investment objective. Although each Portfolio of the Fund
cannot  accurately  predict its portfolio  turnover  rate, it is not expected to
exceed 400% in normal circumstances. However, there are no limits on the rate of
portfolio turnover, and investments may be sold without regard to length of time
held when, in the opinion of the Investment Adviser,  investment  considerations
warrant such actions.  Higher portfolio  turnover rates, such as rates in excess
of 400%, and  short-term  trading  involve  correspondingly  greater  commission
expenses and transactions costs.  Further, high turnover rates, such as rates in
excess of 400%,  generate higher  short-term  capital gains. For a more detailed
description of short-term  capital gain  treatment,  please refer to the section
entitled "Tax Considerations."

                                              PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

         usually  acting  as  principal  for  their own  account.  On  occasion,
securities  may be  purchased  directly  from the issuer.  Such  securities  are
generally  traded on a net basis and do not normally  involve  either  brokerage
commissions or transfer taxes.  Each Portfolio of the Fund enters into financial
futures and options contracts which normally involve brokerage commissions.

         The cost of executing  transactions  will  consist  primarily of dealer
spreads.  The spread is not  included in the expenses of a Portfolio of the Fund
and  therefore  is  not  subject  to  the  expense  cap  described  above  under
"Investment  Adviser and Advisory  Agreement";  nevertheless,  the incurrence of
this  spread,  ignoring  the  other  intended  positive  effects  of  each  such
transaction, will decrease the total return of the Fund. However, the Investment
Adviser  will buy one  asset and sell  another  only if the  Investment  Adviser
believes  it is  advantageous  to do so  after  considering  the  effect  of the
additional custodial charges and the spread on a Portfolio's total return.

           All purchases and sales will be executed with major dealers and banks
on a best net  price  basis.  No trades  will be  executed  with the  Investment
Adviser,  their  affiliates,  officers or employees acting as principal or agent
for others, although such entities and persons may be trading  contemporaneously
in the same or similar securities.



         TAX CONSIDERATIONS

         The following summary of tax consequences, which does not purport to be
complete,  is based on U.S.  federal tax laws and  regulations  in effect on the
date of this Statement of Additional Information, which are subject to change by
legislative or administrative action.

         Qualification as a Regulated Investment Company

Each active Portfolio has qualified,  and intends to continue to qualify,  to be
treated as a regulated  investment  company  ("RIC") under the Internal  Revenue
Code of 1986,  as amended (the "Code").  To qualify as a RIC, a Portfolio  must,
among other things:
a.       derive at least 90% of its gross  income each taxable  year,  from
     dividends,  interest,  payments  (with    respect  to  securities   loans
     and  gains  from  the  sale  or  other  disposition of securities or
     foreign currencies)   or  other  income (including      gains      from
     options,   futures  or  forward contracts)   derived  from  its
     business   of    investing   in securities or foreign
     currencies  (the  "Qualifying  Income Requirement");

b.       diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each quarter of the P
     ortfolio's taxable year:
     i)    at least 50% of the
Portfolio's  asset market value is represented by cash and cash items (including
receivables),  U.S.  Government  Securities,  securities of other RICs and other
securities,  with such other  securities of any one issuer  limited to an amount
not greater than 5% of the value of the Portfolio's total assets and not greater
than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer and
       ii) not more than 25% of the  value of the  Portfolio's  total  assets is
invested  in the  securities  of any one  issuer  (other  than  U.S.  Government
Securities or the securities of other RICs); and
c.   distribute at least 90% of its  investment  company  taxable  income (which
     includes,  among other items,  interest and net short-term capital gains in
     excess of net long-term capital losses).

The U.S.  Treasury  Department  has the  authority  to  promulgate  regulations,
pursuant to which, gains from foreign currency (and options, futures and forward
contracts  on  foreign  currency)  not  directly  related  to a RIC's  principal
business  of  investing  in  stocks  and  securities  would  not be  treated  as
qualifying income. To date, such regulations have not been promulgated.

If a Portfolio does not qualify as a RIC for any taxable year, all of
its taxable income will be taxed to the Portfolio at corporate
rates.  For each taxable year the Portfolio qualifies as a RIC, it
will not be subject to federal income tax on that part of its
investment company taxable income and net capital gains (the excess
of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) it
distributes to its shareholders. In addition, to avoid a
nondeductible 4% federal excise tax, the Portfolio must distribute
during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum
of :
a.   98% of its  ordinary  income (not  taking into  account  any
     capital  gains or losses),  determined  on a
     calendar year basis;
b.       98% of its  capital  gains in excess of capital  losses,  determined
     in general on an October 31 year-end basis; and any undistributed
amounts  from previous years.

Each active  Portfolio  intends to distribute all of its net income and gains by
automatically  reinvesting such income and gains in additional Portfolio shares.
Each active  Portfolio  will  monitor its  compliance  with all of the rules set
forth in the preceding paragraph.


Distributions
The following qualifies as taxable income to Portfolio shareholders:
a.       Portfolio's automatic reinvestment of its ordinary income,
b.       net short-term capital gains and net long-term capital gains in
         additional Portfolio shares, and
c.       distribution of such shares to shareholders.
Generally,   shareholders   will  be treated  as  if  the  Portfolio  had
distributed   income  and  gains  to them  and  then  reinvested  by them
in  Portfolio   shares--even  though no  cash   distributions  have  been
made    to     shareholders.     The automatic  reinvestment  of ordinary
income and net  realized  short-term Portfolio   capital  gains  will  be
taxable    to     shareholders    as ordinary  income.  Each  Portfolio's
automatic  reinvestment  of any  net long-term  capital gains  designated
as  capital  gain  dividends  by the Portfolio  will  be  taxable  to the
shareholders  as  long-term  capital gain.  This is the  case  regardless
of how long  they  have  held  their shares.    None   of   the   amounts
treated   as    distributed   to   a Portfolio's   shareholders  will  be
eligible    for    the     corporate dividends  received   deduction.   A
distribution   will  be  treated  as paid on  December  31 of the current
calendar year, if the Portfolio:
a.       declares it during October, November or December, and
b.       the distribution has a record date in such a month, and
c.       it is paid by the Portfolio  during January of the following  calendar
year.  Such  distributions  will be
     taxable to shareholders in the calendar year in which the distributions are
     declared,  rather than in the calendar year in which the  distributions are
     received.  Each  Portfolio will inform  shareholders  of the amount and tax
     status of all amounts treated as distributed to them not later than 60 days
     after the close of each calendar year.

Sale of Shares
Upon the sale or other  disposition  of Portfolio  shares,  or upon receipt of a
distribution  in complete  Portfolio  liquidation,  a  shareholder  usually will
realize  a  capital  gain or loss.  This loss may be  long-term  or  short-term,
generally  depending upon the shareholder's  holding period for the shares.  For
tax purposes, a loss will be disallowed on the sale or exchange of shares if the
disposed  of shares  are  replaced  (including  shares  acquired  pursuant  to a
dividend  reinvestment  plan) within a period of 61 days. The 61 day time window
begins  30 days  before  and ends 30 days  after  the sale or  exchange  of such
shares.  Should a disposition  fall within this 61 day window,  the basis of the
acquired  shares will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed  loss. A shareholder
holding  Portfolio  shares  for six  months or longer  will  realize a long term
capital loss on share disposition.  Should such loss occur, to the extent of any
net capital gains distributions deemed received by the shareholder.

Zero Coupon  Securities A Portfolio's  investment in zero coupon securities will
result in Portfolio  income,  equal to a portion of the excess of the  amortized
face  value of the  securities  over their  issue  price  (the  "original  issue
discount"),  prior  amortized  value or  purchased  cost for each  year that the
securities  are held.  This is so,  even though the  Portfolio  receives no cash
interest  payments  during the holding  period.  This  income is  included  when
determining  the amount of income the Portfolio must  distribute to maintain its
status as a RIC and to avoid the payment of Federal income tax and the 4% excise
tax.

Backup  Withholding A Portfolio may be required to withhold U.S.  federal income
tax at the rate of 31% of all amounts  deemed to be  distributed  as a result of
the  automatic  reinvestment  by  the  Portfolio  of its  income  and  gains  in
additional  shares  of the  Portfolio.  The 31%  rate  applies  to  shareholders
receiving redemption payments who:
a.       fail to provide the Portfolio with their correct taxpayer
         identification number;
b.       fail to make required certifications,
c.       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  will be
credited against a shareholder's  U.S.  federal income tax liability.  Corporate
shareholders  and  certain  other  shareholders  are  exempt  from  such  backup
withholding.

Foreign Shareholders
A  foreign  shareholder,  qualifying as a  non-resident  alien, a foreign
trust     or     estate,     foreign corporation,        or       foreign
partnership ("foreign  shareholder")  may  have to pay U.S.
tax   depending   on   whether   the Portfolio   income  is  "effectively
connected"  with  a  U.S.  trade  or business.

If    a    foreign     shareholder's Portfolio  income  not  "effectively
connected"  with  a  U.S.  trade  or business,   the   distributions   of
investment  company  taxable  income will  be  subject  to a U.S.  tax of
30% (or lower treaty rate).

If    a    foreign     shareholder's Portfolio   income  is   effectively
connected   with  a  U.S.  trade  or business, then:
a.       distributions of investment company taxable income,
b.       capital gain dividends, and
c.       any gain realized upon the redemption, sale or exchange of shares
of the Portfolio will be  subject  to  U.S.  Federal income tax at the
graduated  rates applicable  to  U.S.   citizens  or domestic
corporations.     Such shareholders  may  also be  subject
to  the  branch  profits  tax  at a 30% rate.

The tax consequences to a foreign shareholder  entitled to claim the benefits of
an  applicable  tax treaty  may differ  from  those  described  herein.  Foreign
shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers regarding  investment
tax consequences in a Portfolio.

Other Taxes
A Portfolio may be subject to state,  local or foreign taxes in any jurisdiction
where the  Portfolio  is deemed to be doing  business.  In  addition,  Portfolio
shareholders  may be  subject  to state,  local or  foreign  taxes on  Portfolio
distributions.  In many states, Portfolio distributions derived from interest on
certain U.S.  Government  obligations may be exempt from taxation.  Shareholders
should consult their own tax advisers concerning these matters.



      SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

         Certificates representing shares of each Portfolio of the Fund will not
be issued to shareholders.  Investors Bank & Trust Company,  the Fund's transfer
agent (the "Transfer Agent"), will maintain an account for each shareholder upon
which the  registration  and transfer of shares are recorded,  and any transfers
shall be reflected by bookkeeping  entry,  without physical  delivery.  Detailed
confirmations  of each  purchase  or  redemption  are sent to each  shareholder.
Monthly  statements  of account are sent which  include  shares  purchased  as a
result of a reinvestment of a Portfolio's distributions.

         The Transfer Agent will require that a shareholder  provide requests in
writing,  accompanied by a valid signature guarantee form, when changing certain
information  in an account (i.e.,  wiring  instructions,  telephone  privileges,
etc.).  Neither  the Fund,  the  Administrator,  or the  Transfer  Agent will be
responsible for the validity of written or telephonic requests.

         The Fund  reserves  the  right,  if  conditions  exist  which make cash
payments undesirable,  to honor any request for redemption of the Fund by making
payment in whole or in part in readily marketable  securities chosen by the Fund
and valued as they are for  purposes  of  computing  the Fund's net asset  value
(redemption-in-kind).  If payment is made in securities, a shareholder may incur
transaction expenses in converting the securities to cash.

  ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF
           CAPITAL STOCK

         The Fund was  incorporated on August 4, 1997 as a Maryland  corporation
and is authorized  to issue  2,500,000,000  shares of Common  Stock,  $0.001 par
value. The Fund's shares have no preemptive,  conversion, exchange or redemption
rights.  Each share has equal voting,  dividend,  distribution  and  liquidation
rights. All shares of a class of the Fund, when duly issued,  will be fully paid
and  nonassessable.  Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. All voting
rights for the election of  directors  are  noncumulative,  which means that the
holders  of more than 50% of the shares  can elect  100% of the  Directors  then
nominated  for election if they choose to do so and, in such event,  the holders
of the remaining  shares will not be able to elect any Directors.  The foregoing
description  is subject to the  provisions  contained in the Fund's  Articles of
Incorporation and By-laws.

         The  Board of  Directors  is  authorized  to  reclassify  and issue any
unissued shares of the Fund without shareholder  approval.  Accordingly,  in the
future,  the Directors may create additional series of portfolios with different
investment  objectives,  policies  and  restrictions.  Any issuance of shares of
another series would be governed by the 1940 Act and Maryland law.

         The Fund also issues  another class of shares which may have  different
operating and other expenses.  For more  information  about other classes of the
Fund's shares,  investors should contact the Distributor at the address or phone
number set forth on the cover of this Statement of Additional Information.


  CALCULATION OF PERFORMANCE DATA

         The Fund may, from time to time,  include the yield and total return in
reports to  shareholders or prospective  investors.  Quotations of yield for the
Fund will be based on all investment income per share during a particular 30-day
(or one month) period (including dividends and interest),  less expenses accrued
during the period ("net  investment  income"),  and are computed by dividing net
investment  income by the maximum,  offering  price per share on the last day of
the period,  according  to the  following  formula  which is  prescribed  by the
Commission:

                                           YIELD = 2[( a - b + 1)6 - 1]
                           cd

Where         a =      dividends and interest earned during the period,
              b =      expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements),
              c =      the average  daily  number of Shares of the Fund
                       outstanding  during he period
                       that were entitled to receive dividends, and
              d =      the maximum offering price per share on the last
                       day of the period.

                  Quotations of average annual total return will be expressed in
terms  of the  average  annual  compounded  rate  of  return  of a  hypothetical
investment  in the Fund over periods of 1, 5 and 10 years (up to the life of the
Fund),  calculated  pursuant to the following formula which is prescribed by the
SEC:

                                                   P(1 + T)n = ERV

Where                      P =      a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000,
                           T =      the average annual total return,
                           n =      the number of years, and
                                ERV   =the   ending   redeemable   value   of  a
hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the beginning of the period.

                  All  total  return  figures  assume  that  all  dividends  are
reinvested when paid.

    QUALITY RATING DESCRIPTIONS

Standard & Poors Corporation

         AAA.  Bonds  rated AAA are highest  grade  debt   obligations.
This rating indicates  an extremely  strong  capacity  to pay
principal and interest.

         AA.  Bonds  rated  AA also qualify as high-quality
obligations.    Capacity   to   pay principal   and  interest  is  very
strong,  and  in  the  majority  of instances   they  differ  from  AAA
issues only in small degree.

         A.  Bonds  rated  A have a strong  capacity  to pay  principal
and  interest,  although  they  are more  susceptible  to  the  adverse
effects of changes in circumstances  and economic conditions.

         BBB.  Bonds rated BBB are regarded as having  adequate  capacity to pay
interest or principal. Although these bonds normally exhibit adequate protection
parameters,  adverse  economic  conditions  or changing  circumstances  are more
likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and principal.

         The ratings AA to D may be modified by the  addition of a plus or minus
sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.

         Municipal  notes  issued  since July 29,  1984 are  designated  "SP-1",
"SP-2", and "SP-3". The designation SP-1 indicates a very strong capacity to pay
principal  and  interest.  A "+" is added to those issues  determined to possess
overwhelming safety characteristics.

         A-1. Standard & Poor's Commercial Paper ratings are current assessments
of the  likelihood of timely  payments of debts having  original  maturity of no
more than 365 days. The A-1 designation indicates the degree of safety regarding
timely payment is very strong.

         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.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc.

         Aaa.  Bonds  which are 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  which are 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  fluctuations  of
protective  elements may be of greater  amplitude or there may be other elements
present  which make the  long-term  risks  appear  somewhat  larger than the Aaa
securities.

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

         Baa.   Baa   rated   bonds are considered  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.

         Moody's applies 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 its  generic  rating
category.

         Moody's   ratings  for  state  and  municipal   and  other   short-term
obligations  will  be  designated   Moody's   Investment  Grade  ("MIG").   This
distinction is in recognition of the differences  between short-term credit risk
and  long-term  risk.  Factors  affecting  the  liquidity  of the  borrower  are
uppermost in importance in short-term  borrowing,  while various  factors of the
first  importance in long-term  borrowing  risk are of lesser  importance in the
short run.

         MIG-1.  Notes bearing this designation are of the best quality enjoying
strong  protection from  established  cash flows of funds for their servicing or
from established and broad-based access to the market for refinancing, or both.

         MIG-2.  Notes bearing this designation are of favorable  quality,  with
all security elements accounted for, but lacking the undeniable  strength of the
previous grade.  Market access for refinancing,  in particular,  is likely to be
less well established.

         P-1.  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. The designation  "Prime-1" or "P-1" indicates
the highest quality repayment capacity of the rated issue.

         P-2.  Issuers  have a  strong  capacity  for  repayment  of  short-term
promissory obligations.

Thomson Bankwatch, Inc.

         A. Company possess an  exceptionally  strong balance sheet and earnings
record,  translating into an excellent reputation and unquestioned access to its
natural money markets. If weakness or vulnerability  exists in any aspect of the
company's   business,   it  is  entirely  mitigated  by  the  strengths  of  the
organization.

         A/B. Company is financially   very   solid   with  a
favorable   track   record   and  no readily   apparent   weakness.   Its
overall  risk  profile,  while  low, is  not   quite  as   favorable   as
companies  in  the  highest   rating category.

IBCA Limited

         A1.  Short-term  obligations  rated A1 are  supported  by a very strong
capacity for timely  repayment.  A plus sign is added to those issues determined
to possess the highest capacity for timely payment.

Item 25
Indemnification.

         The  Registrant  shall  indemnify  directors,  officers,  employees and
agents of the Registrant against judgements,  fines, settlements and expenses to
the fullest extent allowed,  and in the manner provided,  by applicable  federal
and Maryland law,  including Section 17(h) and (i) of the Investment Company Act
of 1940. In this regard, the Registrant undertakes to abide by the provisions of
Investment  Company Act Releases No. 11330 and 7221 until  amended or superseded
by subsequent interpretation of legislative or judicial action.

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

Item 26

Investment  Adviser,  together  with  information  as  to  any  other  business,
profession,  vocation or employment of a substantial  nature  engaged in by such
