                                   OVERVIEW
    
     The Kobrick Funds family of funds is designed to offer investors a range of
growth-oriented equity investment opportunities. Each Fund has its own objective
and investment strategy, presenting you with an opportunity to invest in funds
with different investment strategies and risk profiles that may respond
differently under various market conditions.     

                          _____________________                           
    
     Kobrick Growth Fund: The investment objective of the Growth Fund is to
provide long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in equity securities
of companies with large capitalizations believed by the Fund's investment
manager to have better than average long-term growth potential.     

     The Growth Fund may be appropriate for investors who seek one or more of
the following:

     .   growth of capital over the long-term without the need for current
         income

     .   a fund emphasizing more mature companies with consistent earnings
         growth

     .   a fund to compliment a portfolio of more aggressive investments
    
     Kobrick Capital Fund: The investment objective of the Capital Fund is to
seek maximum capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of
companies with small, medium and large capitalizations.     

     The Capital Fund may be appropriate for investors who seek one or more of
the following:
    
     .   a fund emphasizing growth stocks     

     .   a fund with flexibility to emphasize different capitalizations of
         companies as market conditions change

     .   a fund to complement a portfolio of more conservative investments
    
     Kobrick Emerging Growth Fund: The investment objective of the Emerging
Growth Fund is to provide growth of capital by investing primarily in equity
securities of emerging growth and small capitalization companies.     

     The Emerging Growth Fund may be appropriate for investors who seek one or
more of the following:

     .   growth of capital over the long-term

     .   a more aggressive fund emphasizing small and emerging companies

     .   a fund to complement a portfolio of more conservative investments

                              __________________
    
     Each of the Kobrick Funds uses a growth oriented strategy. Generally, funds
that use a growth oriented strategy seek to invest in stocks of companies that
are growing faster than the economy as a whole. While many growth oriented funds
invest in companies of all sizes, a     

                                       1
<PAGE>
 
growth strategy that focuses on smaller companies is generally considered to be
more aggressive than one that focuses on large companies. You should also
consider the following:

     .   an investment in any of the Funds should be part of a balanced
         investment program

     .   the Funds are generally for investors with longer-term investment
         horizons

     .   there is a risk that you could lose money by investing in any of the
         Funds and there is no assurance that a Fund will achieve its investment
         objectives

     .   Fund shares are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed, endorsed or
         insured by any financial institution, government entity of the FDIC
    
               FUND GOALS, STRATEGIES, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE     

GROWTH FUND
    
          FUNDAMENTAL GOAL AND STRATEGY. The Growth Fund's goal is to provide
long-term growth of capital. It seeks to achieve this goal by investing
primarily in equity securities of large capitalization companies which Kobrick
Funds LLC (the "Investment Manager") believes have better than average long-term
growth potential.    

     The Growth Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of securities of larger,
more established companies in a broad range of industries. In selecting stocks
for this Fund, the Investment Manager seeks to invest in companies which offer
the greatest potential for profitable expansion and sustained growth and which
have:

     .   management that can execute

     .   a sound business strategy

     .   expected growth in earnings

     .   compelling valuations
    
The valuations are based on a variety of measures including price/earnings to
growth rates, price to book value and price to sales. The Investment Manager's
decision with respect to an investment may be made based upon any one or more of
these factors. Potential income is not a major factor in the selection of
investments.     
    
     Under normal market conditions, the Growth Fund expects to be primarily
invested in equity securities of large capitalization companies. It is
anticipated that most of these securities will be traded or listed on a major
securities exchange. However, the Growth Fund may invest at any time up to 35%
of its total assets in other types of securities (including corporate bonds and
securities of the U.S. Government) and in smaller capitalization and emerging
growth companies.

     PORTFOLIO RISKS As the Growth Fund invests primarily in stocks, its major
risks are those commonly associated with stock investing. As with any growth
fund, these include the potential for fluctuation in the value of your
investment resulting from the risk of changing economic and market conditions
and the risk of declining fundamentals associated with individual companies or
industries that the Growth Fund is invested in. Growth stocks are generally more
sensitive to market movements than other types of stocks, primarily because
their stock prices are based heavily on future expectations. Because of these
and other risks, the Growth Fund may underperform certain other stock funds
during periods when large company stocks in general are out of favor.
    
     PORTFOLIO MANAGER Frederick R. Kobrick, CFA, is the portfolio manager of
the Growth Fund. He has been in the investment business for more than 27 years.
For the 12 year period immediately prior to becoming President of Kobrick Funds
LLC in 1997, he was an equity portfolio manager at State Street Research &
Management Company, where he served as Senior Vice President since 1989 and as a
member of the firm's Equity Investment Committee since 1985.     
    
     PERFORMANCE Since the Growth Fund has only been in existence since
September 1, 1998, its performance and its comparison to broad based indexes are
not permitted to be included in this prospectus. The Growth Funds' performance
is generally compared to the S&P 500 Index and the Lipper Large Company Funds
Index.     

CAPITAL FUND
    
     FUNDAMENTAL GOAL AND STRATEGY The Capital Fund's goal is to seek maximum
capital appreciation. It seeks to achieve this goal by investing primarily in
equity securities of companies with small, medium and large capitalizations,
including those the Investment Manager believes are undervalued special
situations and emerging growth companies.     

     The Capital Fund's investment objective provides flexibility to emphasize
companies with a broad range of capitalizations as market conditions change. At
different times, the Capital Fund may emphasize a particular size or type of
company. In selecting investments for the Capital Fund, the Investment Manager
generally seeks companies in a wide variety of industries and considers a
variety of factors, including:

     .   the strength of a company's management team 
     .   expected growth in earnings
     .   relative financial condition 
     .   competitive position and business strategy
     .   entrepreneurial character 
     .   new or innovative products, services or processes
    
The Investment Manager's decision with respect to an investment may be made
based upon any one or more of these factors.     

     The Capital Fund also invests in emerging growth companies and companies
considered by the Investment Manager to be undervalued special situations. The
Investment Manager

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
considers a special situation company to be one which, because of unique
circumstances, is an attractive investment. For example, a unique circumstance
may be a company's ability to fill a particular business niche. The Investment
Manager considers emerging growth companies to be those companies which are less
mature and have the potential to grow substantially faster than the economy.
    
     Under normal market condition, the Capital Fund expects to be primarily
invested in equity securities of companies with small, medium and large
capitalizations. It is anticipated that most of those securities will be traded
or listed on a major securities exchange. However, the Capital Fund may invest
at any time up to 35% of its total assets in other types of securities,
including corporate bonds, securities of the U.S. Government and options.     

     PORTFOLIO RISKS As the Capital Fund invests primarily in stocks, its major
risks are those commonly associated with stock investing. As with any growth
fund, these include the potential for fluctuation in the value of your
investment resulting from the risk of changing economic and market conditions
and the risk of declining fundamentals associated with individual companies or
industries that the Capital Fund is invested in. Growth stocks are generally
more sensitive to market movements than other types of stocks, primarily because
their stock prices are based heavily on future expectations.

     Because the Capital Fund invests in, among other things, undervalued
special situations, emerging growth companies and companies with small
capitalizations, an investment in this Fund involves greater than average risks.
Accordingly, the value of the Capital Fund's shares may fluctuate more widely
than the value of shares of a fund that invests in larger, more established
companies. For instance:

     .   stocks of small capitalization and emerging growth companies may have
         limited marketability and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic
         market movements over time than securities of larger companies or the
         market as a whole

     .   these companies may also have limited product lines, markets and
         financial resources, may be dependent on entrepreneurial management and
         typically reinvest most of their net income in the company and do not
         pay dividends

     .   with special situation companies, the primary risk is that they may not
         achieve their expected value because events do not materialize as
         anticipated.

     As the Capital Fund's investment philosophy provides flexibility to
emphasize different capitalizations of companies as market conditions change, it
may cause the Capital Fund's portfolio turnover rate to be above-average for a
stock fund. High turnover will increase the Capital Fund's transaction costs and
may increase your tax liability.

     The two unmanaged indexes above are shown for comparative purposes. The
Russell 3000 Index is an unmanaged index of the 3,000 largest companies based on
total market capitalization. The Lipper Capital Appreciation Funds Index shows
the performance of a category of mutual funds with similar investment
objectives. As you know, past performance does not guarantee future results. The
Capital Fund's performance reflects a partial waiver of fees without which the
total return would have been lower (see "Investor Expenses").

EMERGING GROWTH FUND
    
     FUNDAMENTAL GOAL AND STRATEGY The Emerging Growth Fund's goal is to provide
growth of capital by investing primarily in equity securities of emerging growth
and small capitalization companies.     

     The Investment Manager considers emerging growth companies to be those
companies which are less mature and have the potential to grow substantially
faster than the economy. The Emerging Growth Fund primarily invests in companies
with small market capitalizations. These companies are generally included in the
Russell 2000 Index, which is a commonly used index of

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
    
small stock performance. The median market capitalization in this index as of
December 31, 1998 was approximately $560 million and the largest market
capitalization in this index as of such date was approximately $3.2 billion.
Levels of capitalization and the companies constituting the Russell 2000 Index
could vary over time because of market conditions and other factors relating
generally to small capitalization companies and investments in such companies.
While a company's market capitalization may be small at the time the Emerging
Growth Fund first invests in the company, the Emerging Growth Fund may continue
to hold and acquire shares of the company after its market capitalization
increases.     

     Small and emerging growth companies that are good candidates for the
Emerging Growth Fund can be found in a variety of industries. In selecting
investments for the Fund, the Investment Manager considers a variety of factors,
including:

     .   the strength of a company's management team 
     .   expected growth in earnings
     .   relative financial condition 
     .   cash flow 
     .   competitive position and business strategy
     .   overall potential as an enterprise
     .   new or innovative products, services or processes.

The Investment Manager's decision with respect to an investment may be made
based upon any one or more of these factors.
    
     Under normal market conditions, the Emerging Growth Fund expects to be
primarily invested in equity securities of emerging growth and small
capitalization companies. It is anticipated that most of the securities will be
traded or listed on a major securities exchange. However, the Emerging Growth
Fund may invest at any time up to 35% of its total assets in other types of
securities (including corporate bonds and securities of the U.S. Government) and
in securities issued by larger, more mature companies and undervalued special
situation companies.     

     PORTFOLIO RISKS As the Emerging Growth Fund invests primarily in stocks,
its major risks are those commonly associated with stock investing. As with any
growth fund, these include the potential for fluctuation in the value of your
investment resulting from the risk of changing economic and market conditions
and the risk of declining fundamentals associated with individual companies or
industries that the Emerging Growth Fund is invested in. Growth stocks are
generally more sensitive to market movements than other types of stocks,
primarily because their stock prices are based heavily on future expectations.
    
     Because the Emerging Growth Fund invests in, among other things,
emerging growth companies and companies with small capitalizations, an
investment in this Fund involves greater than average risks. Accordingly, the
value of the Emerging Growth Fund's shares may fluctuate more widely than the
value of shares of a fund that invests in larger, more established companies.
For instance:     

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
     .   stocks of small capitalization and emerging growth companies may have
         limited marketability and may be subject to more abrupt or market
         movements over time than securities of larger companies or the market
         as a whole

     .   these companies may also have limited product lines, markets and
         financial resources, may be dependent on entrepreneurial management and
         typically reinvest most of their net income in the company and do not
         pay dividends.

     The Emerging Growth Fund's investment approach, which may include short-
term trading, could cause the Emerging Growth Fund's portfolio turnover rate to
be above-average for a stock fund. High turnover will increase the Emerging
Growth Fund's transactions costs and may increase your tax liability.

(a) Remittance of redemption proceeds by wire is subject to a wire transfer fee
(currently $10). Redemptions processed through securities dealers may be subject
to a processing charge by such securities dealers.

(b) The Investment Manager has agreed to cap the amount of Other Expenses at
 .50% for the Capital Fund and Emerging Growth Fund and .15% for the Growth Fund
until at least December 31, 1999. Accordingly, to the extent Other Expenses
exceed the amount of the respective cap, the Investment Manager will reduce its
fees and/or reimburse the Funds for certain expenses. For the Capital Fund and
the Emerging Growth Fund, which commenced operations on January 2, 1998, Other
Expenses are based upon expenses incurred during its fiscal year ended

                                       8

September 30, 1998. For the Growth Fund (which commenced operation on September
1, 1998), Other Expenses are based upon projected expenses for the fiscal year
ending September 30, 1999. If the Investment Manager had not agreed to the cap
and if the reimbursements and waivers were not voluntarily reduced or eliminated
for a Fund, performance would be reduced accordingly.

EXAMPLE

     The following hypothetical example illustrates what your expenses would be
if you invested $10,000 for the time periods indicated assuming you reinvested
all dividends and distributions, operating expenses remain the same and the
average annual return is 5%. This example is for comparison purposes only, as
actual returns and expenses may be greater or less than shown.

                                 YOUR ACCOUNT

HOW TO PURCHASE SHARES

OPENING AN ACCOUNT.

     Your initial investment in a Fund must be at least $2,500 ($1,000 for tax
deferred retirement plans and accounts opened with the Automatic Investment
Plan). A Fund may accept certain accounts with less than the stated minimum
initial investment. You may open an account and make an initial investment in
any or all of the Funds by sending a completed and executed account application
together with a check for the total purchase amount to one of the following
addresses:

SUBSEQUENT INVESTMENTS.

     Subsequent purchases of shares in a Fund may be made for a minimum of at
least $50 per purchase (or such higher amount as the Investment Manager may from
time to time determine) in any of the following ways:
    
     BY MAIL: You may send a check made payable to Kobrick Funds with either the
     stub from your Fund account confirmation statement or a note indicating the
     amount of the purchase, the Fund(s) name, your account number and the name
     in which your account is registered to Kobrick Funds at one of the
     addresses listed above for initial investments.     
    
     BY WIRE TRANSFER: You may instruct your bank to wire transfer money to the
     Funds' custodian bank (not available for IRA accounts) in the manner
     described above.     
    
     BY TELEPHONE: If you establish your Fund account with electronic transfer
     privileges, you may make electronic transfers from your designated bank
     account to purchase shares by calling the Fund at 1-888-KCFUND1 (1-888-523-
     8631). This election may be made on your initial application or by
     subsequently writing to the Fund, with your signature guaranteed (see
     further discussion below).     
    
     BY AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT: You can make subsequent investments automatically
     by electing the Automatic Investment Plan. Purchases may be made monthly or
     quarterly by automatically deducting $50.00 or more from your bank checking
     or savings account. The minimum initial investment required to establish an
     Automatic Investment Plan for a Fund is $1,000. You may cancel the
     Automatic Investment Plan at any time and the Funds reserve the right to
     immediately terminate your Automatic Investment Plan in the event that any
     item is returned unpaid by your financial institution.     

EXCHANGE.

     You may establish an account for a Fund and make subsequent purchases of
shares of the Fund by exchanging shares of another Fund, at net asset value.
Shares of the Funds may also be purchased by exchanging your shares at net asset
value of the SSgA(SM) US Government Money Market Fund, a portfolio of the SSgA
Funds. The establishment of an account and subsequent purchases are subject to
the minimum requirements described above and to other restrictions described
below under "Exchange Privileges." Purchases by exchange may be made by mail or
by telephone in the manner described above. An exchange results in a sale of
fund shares, which may cause you to recognize a capital gain or loss.

POINTS TO REMEMBER FOR ALL INITIAL AND SUBSEQUENT INVESTMENTS.

     All requests received by the Funds' Transfer Agent by 4:00 p.m., Eastern
time, will be executed the same day at that day's closing share price. Orders
received after 4:00 p.m. will be executed the following day, at that day's
closing share price.

     You may purchase or redeem shares of the Funds directly or through certain
investment dealers, banks or other institutions. Any such purchase or redemption
generally will not be effective until the order or request is received by the
Fund, in good order; it is the responsibility of the dealer, bank or other
institution to transmit your order or request promptly. These institutions may
impose charges for their services.

     The Funds will not accept cash, drafts, third party checks or checks drawn
on banks outside of the United States. The Funds consider all requests for
purchases, checks and other forms of payment to be received when they are
received in good order by the applicable Fund. If your order to purchase shares
of any of the Funds is canceled because your check does not clear, you will be
responsible for any resulting expenses or fees incurred by such Fund or its
Transfer Agent. Certain accounts (such as trust accounts, corporate accounts and
custodial accounts) may be required to furnish additional documentation to make
an initial investment.

HOW TO REDEEM SHARES

     You may redeem shares of the Funds at the applicable net asset value next
calculated after your request is received in good order by the Transfer Agent.
Redemptions must be for at least $250 or the balance of your investment in the
applicable Fund. Redemption proceeds will generally be sent within seven days
after a request in good order is received (or possibly longer if you attempt to
redeem shares within 15 days after they have been purchased).

     You may redeem shares directly in any of the following ways (redemptions
processed through securities dealers may be subject to processing charges):

     BY MAIL: Send your written request to one of the addresses listed for
     making an initial investment. Your redemption request must include account
     number, transaction amount (in dollars or shares), signatures of all owners
     exactly as registered on the account, signature guarantees (if required, as
     described below) and any other supporting legal documentation. Once mailed
     to us, your redemption request is irrevocable and cannot be modified or
     canceled.
    
     BY TELEPHONE: You may call the Funds at 1-888-KCFUND1 (1-888-523-8631) to
     redeem your shares (less than $50,000). Once made, your telephone request
     cannot be modified or canceled. You will automatically have the telephone
     redemption plan unless you decline it on your application. You may not
     redeem shares by telephone held in an IRA account.     

     BY AUTOMATIC REDEMPTION: You may automatically redeem a fixed dollar amount
     of shares each month or quarter and have the proceeds sent by check to you
     or deposited by 

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
    
     electronic transfer into your bank account by contacting the Funds to
     establish such an arrangement. You can elect this feature only if the
     balance in the applicable Fund is at least $10,000 and you may cancel it at
     any time.     

     SIGNATURE GUARANTEE: A request for redemption must be made in writing and
     include a signature guarantee if any of the following situations applies:

     .    You wish to redeem $50,000 or more worth of shares;

     .    Your name has changed by marriage or divorce (send a letter indicating
          your account number and old and new names, signing the letter in both
          the old and new names and having both signatures guaranteed);

     .    Your address has changed within the last 30 days;

     .    You request that the check be mailed to an address different from the
          one on your account (address of record);

     .    You request that the check be made payable to someone other than the
          account owner; or

     .    You are instructing the Fund to wire the proceeds to a bank or
          brokerage account and have not signed up for the telephone redemption
          by wire plan.

     You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker-
dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or
association, clearing agency or savings association. A notary public cannot
provide a signature guarantee.
    
     If you elect to wire transfer proceeds from a redemption to any
commercial bank or brokerage firm in the United States, a processing fee
(currently $10) will be deducted from the redemption proceeds. Your bank or
brokerage firm may also impose a fee for processing the wire. In the event the
wire transfer of funds is impossible or impractical, the redemption proceeds
will be sent by mail to the designated account.     
    
     Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed on days when the
New York Stock Exchange is closed, when trading on the New York Stock Exchange
is restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
accounts (such as trust accounts, corporate accounts and custodial accounts) may
be required to furnish additional documentation to complete a redemption. Call
the Funds at 1-888-KCFUND1 (1-888-523-8631) for more information.     
    
     If a check representing redemption proceeds cannot be delivered by the U.S.
Postal Service or if your check remains uncashed for six months, the check will
be canceled and the proceeds will be reinvested in your account at the then
current applicable net asset value, In addition, if you have an Automatic
Redemption Plan, it will automatically be canceled and future withdrawals will
be permitted only when requested. The Funds also reserve the right, due to the
expenses of maintaining small accounts, to redeem shares in any Fund and send
the proceeds to the owner if the shares in the account do not have a value of at
least $2,500 ($1,000      

                                       13

for tax-deferred retirement plans and accounts opened with the Automatic
Investment Plan). A shareholder is notified that the account is below the
minimum and allowed 30 days to bring the account value up to the minimum.

EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES
    
     Shares of a Fund may be exchanged for shares of any other Kobrick Fund, at
net asset value. Shares of a Fund may also be exchanged for shares at net asset
value of the SSgA US Government Money Market Fund, which is a portfolio of the
SSgA Funds. The SSgA Funds is an open-end management investment company with
multiple portfolios (commonly known as a mutual fund), advised by State Street
Bank and Trust Company, 225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, and
not affiliated with the Funds, the Trust, or the distributor of the Funds'
shares. The SSgA US Government Money Market Fund's fundamental investment
objective is to maximize current income to the extent consistent with the
preservation of capital and liquidity, and the maintenance of a stable $1.00 per
share net asset value, by investing in obligations of the US Government or its
agencies or instrumentalities with remaining maturities of one year or less.
Prior to making such an exchange, you should obtain from the Funds' transfer
agent and carefully read the prospectus for the SSgA US Government Money Market
Fund. The exchange privilege does not constitute an offering or recommendation
on the part of the Funds, the Trust or the distributor of the Funds' shares of
an investment in the SSgA US Government Money Market Fund. Investments in the
SSgA Funds are neither insured nor guaranteed by the US Government. There is no
assurance that the SSgA US Government Money Market Fund will maintain a stable
net asset value of $1.00 per share. All shareholder services regarding your
investment in the SSgA US Government Money Market Fund will be handled by the
Kobrick Funds by calling 1-888-KCFUND1 (1-888-523-8631). You will not be
permitted to exchange shares of any Fund or of the SSgA US Government Money
Market Fund to any other fund portfolio of the SSgA Funds.     
    
     You may request an exchange by mail or by telephone by following the
redemption procedures described above under "How to Redeem Shares" and
indicating the shares of the fund to be purchased by exchange. Exchanges between
accounts can be made only if the accounts are registered in the same name(s),
address and social security or tax identification number. The Funds require each
exchange to be a minimum of $50 ($100 for exchanges into or out of the SSgA US
Government Money Market Fund) subject to any higher amount required by the fund
in which the shares are being acquired. An exchange will be effected at the next
determined net asset value after receipt of a request by the Fund. Each Fund
reserves the right, on 30 days prior notice, to limit the number of times an
exchange may be made by any shareholder within a specified period of time.     
    
     Exchanges are subject to applicable requirements, including any minimum
initial investments and may only be made for shares of funds then offered for
sale in your state of residence. An exchange results in a sale of fund shares,
which may cause you to recognize a capital gain or loss. Before making an
exchange, contact the transfer agent to obtain a current prospectus and more
information about exchanges among the funds. This exchange privilege is not an
offering or recommendation of any other securities.

                                 FUND DETAILS

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
    
     Each Fund expects to distribute any net realized capital gains and net
investment income at least once each year. Distributions are paid according to
one of the following options:     
                               
     Reinvestment Option  Income distributions and capital gains
                          distributions will automatically be reinvested in
                          additional shares of the Fund.     
    
     Income Option        Income distributions and short-term capital
                          gains distributions will be paid in cash to you; long-
                          term capital gains distributions will automatically be
                          reinvested in additional shares of the Fund.     

     Cash Option          Income distributions and capital gains
                          distributions will be paid to you in cash.

     You should indicate your choice of option on your application. If no option
is specified on your application, distributions will automatically be reinvested
in additional shares of the applicable Fund. All reinvestments will be based on
the net asset value in effect on the record date of the distribution.

     If you select the Income Option or the Cash Option and the U.S. Postal
Service cannot deliver your check or if your check remains uncashed for six
months, the check will be canceled and the distributions will be reinvested in
your account at the then current applicable net asset value and your account
will be converted to the Reinvestment Option.

TAXES

     Each Fund declares dividends, if any, from net investment income annually
and pays any such dividends after year end. Each Fund will also distribute
capital gain net income generally after the end of the fiscal year or as
otherwise required for compliance with tax regulations.
    
     In general, dividends and distributions of net short-term capital gains,
whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional shares, will be taxable for
federal income tax purposes to you as ordinary income, and a portion may be
eligible for the 70% dividends-received deduction for corporations.
Distributions of other net capital gains, whether paid in cash or reinvested in
additional shares, will generally be taxable for federal income tax purposes to
you as long-term capital gains. This is true no matter how long you have owned
your shares. If shares of a Fund which are sold at a loss have been held six
months or less, the loss will be considered as a long-term capital loss to the
extent of any capital gains distributions received. Each Fund will provide you
with annual information concerning the federal tax status of dividends and
distributions made to you during the preceding calendar year.     

                                       16
<PAGE>
 
     Dividends, distributions and proceeds of redemptions of a Fund's shares
paid to you will be subject to a 31% federal backup withholding tax if the Fund
is not provided with your correct taxpayer identification number and
certification that you are not subject to such backup withholding.

BUSINESS STRUCTURE
    
     The Funds are organized as separate series of the Kobrick Investment Trust,
an open-end management investment company organized in October 1997 as a
Massachusetts business trust. The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares,
in one or more series, each with its own investment objectives, policies and
restrictions, as the Board of Trustees may authorize. Each Fund's fiscal year
ends on September 30th.     

     The Board of Trustees, which represents shareholder interests, oversees
each Fund's operations, including the hiring of the investment manager and other
major service providers. The Trust does not hold regular shareholder meetings,
but may call meetings when matters arise that require shareholder approval, such
as amendments to the Investment Management Agreement and proposed changes in a
Fund's fundamental restrictions. 

MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS
    
     The Funds' investment manager is Kobrick Funds LLC, 101 Federal Street,
Boston, Massachusetts 02110. The Investment Manager is responsible for managing
the investments and business affairs of the Funds and is paid an annual
management fee equal to 1.00% of the average net assets of each Fund.     
    
     The Investment Manager was formed in December 1998 as the result of a
reorganization of the Funds' former investment manager, Kobrick-Cendant Funds,
Inc. This reorganization did not involve any change of actual control or
management of the Investment Manager. Frederick R. Kobrick and Michael T. Carmen
own all of the issued and outstanding "common" class, voting securities of the
Investment Manager. Cendant Corporation of Parsippany, New Jersey, owns,
indirectly through a wholly-owned subsidiary, all of the issued and outstanding
"preferred" class, non-voting securities of the Investment Manager, together
with warrants which, if exercised, could result in Cendant Corporation (or its
subsidiary) owning a majority of the total issued and outstanding "common"
class, voting securities of the Investment Manager.     

     Messrs. Kobrick and Carmen, in addition to serving as the senior officers
of the Investment Manager, are also the principals in private investment
partnerships, and may act in that capacity with respect to other similar
investment partnerships.
    
     Like other financial and business organizations, the Funds could be
adversely affected if computer systems they rely on do not properly process 
date-related information and data involving the year 2000 and after. The Funds
and the Investment Manager have and will take steps that they believe are
reasonable to address this problem in their own computer systems and to obtain
assurances that reasonable steps are being taken by the Funds' major service
providers.     

                                       17
<PAGE>
 
The Investment Manager does not currently anticipate that the Year 2000 issue
will have a material impact on its ability to fulfill its duties as investment
manager.

DISTRIBUTION PLAN

     The Trust has adopted a plan of distribution under Rule 12b-1 of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 that allows the Funds to pay directly or to
reimburse the Investment Manager for distribution fees for the sale and
distribution of their shares. The annual limitation for expenses pursuant to the
Plan is .25% of the applicable Fund's average daily net assets. As these
expenses are paid out of each Fund's assets on an ongoing basis, over time these
fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying
other types of sales charges.

CALCULATION OF SHARE PRICE

     The Funds are open for business on each day the New York Stock Exchange is
open for business. The share price (net asset value) of the shares of each of
the Funds is determined as of the close of the regular session of trading on the
New York Stock Exchange (traditionally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). The net asset
value per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of
the securities held by the applicable Fund plus cash or other assets minus all
liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares
outstanding of the applicable Fund, rounded to the nearest cent.

INVESTMENTS IN OTHER SECURITIES AND LIMITATIONS

INVESTMENTS IN OTHER SECURITIES

     Although each Fund has its own investment strategy and its own risk/reward
profile, all of the Funds generally expect to invest most of their assets in
equity securities of U.S. companies. However, each Fund may, consistent with its
investment objective and investment limitations, invest in other securities and
engage in other investment practices, some of which are described below along
with their associated risks. These securities and practices are described in
greater detail in the Statement of Additional Information.

     RESTRICTED AND ILLIQUID SECURITIES. Each Fund may, subject to certain
limitations, invest in securities that are thinly traded or whose resale is
restricted. These securities may be difficult to sell at a desired time and
price. Owning a large percentage of restricted and illiquid securities could
hamper a Fund's ability to raise cash to meet redemptions. Also, because there
may not be an established market price for these securities, the Funds may have
to estimate their value based on procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees,
which means that their valuation (and, to a much smaller extent, the valuation
of the Funds) may have a subjective element.
    
     FOREIGN INVESTMENTS. Foreign securities are generally more volatile than
their domestic counterparts, in part because of higher political and economic
risks, lack of reliable information, and fluctuations in currency exchange
rates. These risks are usually higher in less developed countries.     

                                       18
<PAGE>
 
OPTIONS, FUTURES AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS. The Funds may use options, futures and
other derivatives for hedging (attempting to offset a potential loss in one
position by establishing an interest in an opposite position). The Funds may
also use derivatives for speculation (investing for potential income or capital
gain). While hedging can guard against potential risks, it adds to the Funds'
expenses and can eliminate some opportunities for gains. There is also a risk
that a derivative intended as a hedge may not perform as expected. The main
risks with these securities is that some types can amplify a gain or loss,
potentially earning or losing substantially more money than the actual cost of
the derivative.

SECURITIES LENDING. Each Fund may seek additional income by lending portfolio
securities to qualified institutions having a value of up to 33 1/3% of each
Fund's assets. The Fund will receive cash or cash equivalent (e.g. U.S.
Government obligations) as collateral in an amount at least equal to 100% of the
current market value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest. The
collateral will generally be held in the form received, although cash may be
invested in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and/or
irrevocable stand-by letters of credit. By reinvesting cash it receives in these
transactions, the Funds could magnify any gain or loss it realizes on the
underlying investment. If the borrower fails to return the securities and the
collateral is insufficient to cover the loss, the Funds could lose money.
    
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Funds may buy securities with the understanding that
the seller, generally an FDIC insured bank, will buy them back with interest at
a later date. If the seller is unable to honor its commitment to repurchase the
securities, the Funds could lose money, although the funds expect to receive
collateral from the seller at least equal in value to the securities 
purchased.     

BONDS. The value of any bonds held by the Funds is likely to decline when
interest rates rise; this risk is greater for bonds with longer maturities. A
less significant risk is that a bond issuer could default on principal or
interest payments, causing a loss for the Funds.

DEFENSIVE INVESTING. Each Fund may place up to 100% of total assets in cash or
quality short-term debt securities for temporary defensive purposes. A Fund will
only take such defensive action when, in the opinion of the Investment Manager,
such a position is more likely to provide protection against adverse market
condition than adherence to the Fund's other investment policies.

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

     In order to reduce investment risk, each Fund operates under certain
fundamental and nonfundamental investment restrictions. Fundamental restrictions
may not be changed without shareholder approval. Nonfundamental restrictions may
be changed by the Board of Trustees. The following are certain fundamental and
nonfundamental restrictions (see the Statement of Additional Information for
more details) that govern each Fund:

                                       19
<PAGE>
 
     Fundamental Restrictions.  Each Fund will not:

     .    invest more than 25% of its total assets in any particular industry

     .    purchase any securities on margin

     .    make short sales of securities or maintain a short position(1)

     Nonfundamental Restrictions.  Each Fund will not:

     .    invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities

     .    invest more than 10% of its net assets in restricted securities(2)
    
     .    purchase a security of a company if it would result in more than 10%
          of the Fund's total assets being invested in the company     

               (1)  Other than short sales against the box.
               (2)  Excludes Rule 144A securities.

     THE TRUST
    
     Kobrick Investment Trust (the "Trust") was organized as a Massachusetts
business trust on October 10, 1997. The Trust currently offers three series of
shares to investors: the Kobrick Growth Fund, the Kobrick Capital Fund and the
Kobrick Emerging Growth Fund (referred to individually as a "Fund" and
collectively as the "Funds"). Each Fund has its own investment objective and
policies.     

     Each share of a Fund represents an equal proportionate interest in the
assets and liabilities belonging to that Fund with each other share of that Fund
and is entitled to such dividends and distributions out of the income belonging
to the Fund as are declared by the Trustees. The shares do not have cumulative
voting rights or any preemptive or conversion rights, and the Trustees have the
authority from time to time to divide or combine the shares of any Fund into a
greater or lesser number of shares of that Fund so long as the proportionate
beneficial interest in the assets belonging to that Fund and the rights of
shares of any other Fund are in no way affected. In case of any liquidation of a
Fund, the holders of shares of the Fund being liquidated will be entitled to
receive as a class a distribution out of the assets, net of the liabilities,
belonging to that Fund. Expenses attributable to any Fund are borne by that
Fund. Any general expenses of the Trust not readily identifiable as belonging to
a particular Fund are allocated by or under the direction of the Trustees in
such manner as the Trustees determine to be fair and equitable. Generally, the
Trustees allocate such expenses on the basis of relative net assets or number of
shareholders. No shareholder is liable to further calls or to assessment by the
Trust without his or her express consent.

     Under Massachusetts law, under certain circumstances, shareholders of a
Massachusetts business trust could be deemed to have the same type of personal
liability for the obligations of the Trust as does a partner of a partnership.
However, numerous investment companies registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 have been formed as Massachusetts business trusts and the Trust is
not aware of any instance where such result has occurred. In addition, the
Master Trust Agreement disclaims shareholder liability for acts or obligations
of the Trust and requires that notice of such disclaimer be given in each
agreement, obligation or instrument entered into or executed by the Trust or the
Trustees. The Master Trust Agreement also provides for the indemnification out
of the Trust property for all losses and expenses of any shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of the Trust. Moreover, it provides that
the Trust will, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against any
shareholder for any act or obligation of the Trust and satisfy any judgment
thereon. As a result, and particularly because the Trust assets are readily
marketable and ordinarily substantially exceed liabilities, management believes
that the risk of shareholder liability is slight and limited to circumstances in
which the Trust itself would be unable to meet its obligations. Management
believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal liability is remote.

     Under the Master Trust Agreement of the Trust, no annual or regular meeting
of shareholders is required. Thus, there will ordinarily be no shareholder
meetings unless required by the Investment Company Act of 1940. At that time, a
meeting of shareholders will be called. Under the Master Trust Agreement, any
Trustee may be removed by vote of two-thirds of the outstanding Trust shares;
holders of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of the Trust can 

                                       1
<PAGE>
 
require that the Trustees call a meeting of shareholders for purposes of voting
on the removal of one or more Trustees. In connection with such meetings called
by shareholders, shareholders will be assisted in shareholder communications to
the extent required by applicable law.

     ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING
     CERTAIN INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES
    
     Among other investments described below, each Fund may buy and sell futures
contracts, options on securities, options on securities indices, options on
futures contracts, foreign investments, currencies, repurchase agreements,
reverse repurchase agreements, swap arrangements, and "when issued" securities
and may enter into closing transactions with respect to each of the foregoing,
and invest in other derivatives, under circumstances in which such instruments
and techniques are expected by Kobrick Funds LLC (the "Investment Manager") to
aid in achieving the investment objective of the Funds. Each Fund on occasion
may also purchase instruments with characteristics of both futures and
securities (e.g., debt instruments with interest and principal payments
determined by reference to the value of a currency at a future time) and which,
therefore, possess the risks of both futures and securities investments.     

FUTURES CONTRACTS.

     Futures contracts are publicly traded contracts to buy or sell underlying
assets, such as certain securities, currencies, or an index of securities, at a
future time at a specified price. A contract to buy establishes a "long"
position while a contract to sell establishes a "short" position.

     The purchase of a futures contract on securities or an index of securities
normally enables a buyer to participate in the market movement of underlying
asset or index after paying a transaction charge and posting margin in an amount
equal to a small percentage of the value of the underlying asset or index. Each
Fund will initially be required to deposit with the Trust's custodian or the
broker effecting the futures transaction an amount of "initial margin" in cash
or U.S. Treasury obligations.

     Initial margin in futures transactions is different from margin in
securities transactions in that the former does not involve the borrowing of
funds by the customer to finance the transaction. Rather, the initial margin is
like a performance bond or good faith deposit on the contract. Subsequent
payments (called "maintenance margin") to and from the broker will be made on a
daily basis as the price of the underlying assets fluctuates. This process is
known as "marking to market." For example, when a Fund has taken a long position
in a futures contract and the value of the underlying asset has risen, that
position will have increased in value and the applicable Fund will receive from
the broker a maintenance margin payment equal to the increase in value of the
underlying asset. Conversely, when a Fund has taken a long position in a futures
contract and the value of the underlying instrument has declined, the position
would be less valuable, and the applicable Fund would be required to make a
maintenance margin payment to the broker.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
     At any time prior to expiration of the futures contract, the Fund may elect
to close the position by taking an opposite position which will terminate the
Fund's position in the futures contract. A final determination of maintenance
margin is then made, additional cash is required to be paid by or released to
the Fund, and the Fund realizes a loss or a gain. While futures contracts with
respect to securities do provide for the delivery and acceptance of such
securities, such delivery and acceptance are seldom made.

     Futures contracts will be executed primarily (a) to establish a short
position, and thus protect the Fund from experiencing the full impact of an
expected decline in market value of portfolio holdings without requiring the
sale of holdings, or (b) to establish a long position, and thus to participate
in an expected rise in market value of securities or currencies which the Fund
intends to purchase. Subject to the limitations described below, each Fund may
also enter into futures contracts for purposes of enhancing return. In
transactions establishing a long position in a futures contract, money market
instruments equal to the face value of the futures contract will be identified
by the Fund to the Trust's custodian for maintenance in a separate account to
insure that the use of such futures contracts is unleveraged. Similarly, a
representative portfolio of securities having a value equal to the aggregate
face value of the futures contract will be identified with respect to each short
position. Each Fund will employ any other appropriate method of cover which is
consistent with applicable regulatory and exchange requirements.

OPTIONS ON SECURITIES.

     Each Fund may use options on securities to implement its investment
strategy. A call option on a security, for example, gives the purchaser of the
option the right to buy, and the writer the obligation to sell, the underlying
asset at the exercise price during the option period. Conversely, a put option
on a security gives the purchaser the right to sell, and the writer the
obligation to buy, the underlying asset at the exercise price during the option
period.

     Purchased options have defined risk, i.e., the premium paid for the option,
no matter how adversely the price of the underlying asset moves, while affording
an opportunity for gain corresponding to the increase or decrease in the value
of the optioned asset.

     Written options have varying degrees of risk. An uncovered written call
option theoretically carries unlimited risk, as the market price of the
underlying asset could rise far above the exercise price before its expiration.
This risk is tempered when the call option is covered, i.e., when the option
writer owns the underlying asset. In this case, the writer runs the risk of the
lost opportunity to participate in the appreciation in value of the asset rather
than the risk of an out-of-pocket loss. A written put option has defined risk,
i.e., the difference between the agreed-upon price that a Fund must pay to the
buyer upon exercise of the put and the value, which could be zero, of the asset
at the time of exercise.

     The obligation of the writer of an option continues until the writer
effects a closing purchase transaction or until the option expires. To secure
his obligation to deliver the underlying asset in the case of a call option, or
to pay for the underlying asset in the case of a put option, a covered writer is
required to deposit in escrow the underlying security or other assets in
accordance with the rules of the applicable clearing corporation and exchanges.

                                       3

OPTIONS ON SECURITIES INDICES.

     Each Fund may engage in transactions in call and put options on securities
indices. For example, a Fund may purchase put options on indices of securities
in anticipation of or during a market decline to attempt to offset the decrease
in market value of its securities that might otherwise result.

     Put options on indices of securities are similar to put options on the
securities themselves except that the delivery requirements are different.
Instead of giving the right to make delivery of a security at a specified price,
a put option on an index of securities gives the holder the right to receive an
amount of cash upon exercise of the option if the value of the underlying index
has fallen below the exercise price. The amount of cash received will be equal
to the difference between the closing price of the index and the exercise price
of the option expressed in dollars times a specified multiple. As with options
on securities, a Fund may offset its position in index options prior to
expiration by entering into a closing transaction on an exchange or it may let
the option expire unexercised.

     A securities index assigns relative values to the securities included in
the index and the index options are based on a broad market index. Although
there are at present few available options on indices of fixed income
securities, other than tax-exempt securities, or futures and related options
based on such indices, such instruments may become available in the future. In
connection with the use of such options, a Fund may cover its position by
identifying a representative portfolio of securities having a value equal to the
aggregate face value of the option position taken. However, a Fund may employ
any appropriate method to cover its positions that is consistent with applicable
regulatory and exchange requirements.

OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS.

     An option on a futures contract gives the purchaser the right, in return
for the premium paid, to assume a position in a futures contract (a long
position if the option is a call and a short position if the option is a put) at
a specified exercise price at any time during the period of the option.

OPTIONS STRATEGY.

     A basic option strategy for protecting a Fund against a decline in
securities prices could involve (a) the purchase of a put - - thus "locking in"
the selling price of the underlying securities or securities indices -- or (b)
the writing of a call on securities or securities indices held by the Fund --
thereby generating income (the premium paid by the buyer) by giving the holder
of such call the option to buy the underlying asset at a fixed price. The
premium will offset, in whole or in part, a decline in portfolio value; however,
if prices of the relevant securities or securities indices rose instead of
falling, the call might be exercised, thereby resulting in losing the ability to
participate in the appreciation of the underlying securities or securities
indices.

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
     A basic option strategy when a rise in securities prices is anticipated is
the purchase of a call - thus "locking in" the purchase price of the underlying
security or other asset. In transactions involving the purchase of call options
by a Fund, money market instruments equal to the aggregate exercise price of the
options will be identified by the Fund to the Trust's custodian to insure that
the use of such investments is unleveraged.

     Each Fund may write options in connection with buy-and-write transactions;
that is, the Fund may purchase a security and concurrently write a call option
against that security. If the call option is exercised in such a transaction,
the Fund's maximum gain will be the premium received by it for writing the
option, adjusted upward or downward by the difference between the Fund's
purchase price of the security and the exercise price of the option. If the
option is not exercised and the price of the underlying security declines, the
amount of such decline will be offset in part, or entirely, by the premium
received.

     The writing of covered put options is similar in terms of risk/return
characteristics to buy-and-write transactions. If the market price of the
underlying security rises or otherwise is above the exercise price, the put
option will expire worthless and the Fund's gain will be limited to the premium
received. If the market price of the underlying security declines or otherwise
is below the exercise price, the Fund's return will be the premium received from
writing the put option minus the amount by which the market price of the
security is below the exercise price.

LIMITATIONS AND RISKS OF OPTIONS AND FUTURES ACTIVITY.

     Each Fund will engage in transactions in futures contracts or options
primarily as a hedge against changes resulting from market conditions which
produce changes in the values of its securities or the securities which it
intends to purchase (e.g., to replace portfolio securities which will mature in
the near future) or subject to the limitations described below, to enhance
return. No Fund will purchase any futures contract or purchase any call option
if, immediately thereafter, more than one third of such Fund's net assets would
be represented by long futures contracts or call options. No Fund will write a
covered call or put option if, immediately thereafter, the aggregate value of
the assets (securities in the case of written calls and cash or cash equivalents
in the case of written puts) underlying all such options, determined as of the
dates such options were written, would exceed 25% of such Fund's net assets. In
addition, no Fund may establish a position in a commodity futures contract or
purchase or sell a commodity option contract for other than bona fide hedging
purposes if immediately thereafter the sum of the amount of initial margin
deposits and premiums required to establish such positions for such nonhedging
purposes would exceed 5% of the market value of such Fund's net assets.

     Although effective hedging can generally capture the bulk of a desired risk
adjustment, no hedge is completely effective. A Fund's ability to hedge
effectively through transactions in futures and options depends on the degree to
which price movements in its holdings correlate with price movements of the
futures and options.

     Some positions in futures and options may be closed out only on an exchange
which provides a secondary market therefor. There can be no assurance that a
liquid secondary market will exist for any particular futures contract or option
at any specific time. Thus, it may not be 

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
possible to close such an option or futures position prior to maturity. The
inability to close options and futures positions also could have an adverse
impact on the Fund's ability to effectively hedge its securities and might in
some cases require the Fund to deposit cash to meet applicable margin
requirements. The Funds will enter into an option or futures position only if it
appears to be a liquid investment.

FOREIGN INVESTMENTS.

     The Funds reserve the right to invest without limitation in securities of
non-U.S. issuers directly, or indirectly in the form of American Depositary
Receipts ("ADRs"), European Depositary Receipts ("EDRs") or similar securities
representing interests in the securities of foreign issuers. Under current
policy, however, each Fund limits such investments, including ADRs and EDRs, to
a maximum of 35% of its total assets.

     ADRs are receipts, typically issued by a U.S. bank or trust company, which
evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign corporation or
other entity. EDRs are receipts issued in Europe which evidence a similar
ownership arrangement. Generally, ADRs in registered form are designed for use
in U.S. securities markets and EDRs are designed for use in European securities
markets. The underlying securities are not always denominated in the same
currency as the ADRs or EDRs. Although investment in the form of ADRs or EDRs
facilitates trading in foreign securities, it does not mitigate all the risks
associated with investing in foreign securities.

     ADRs are available through facilities which may be either "sponsored" or
"unsponsored." In a sponsored arrangement, the foreign issuer establishes the
facility, pays some or all of the depository's fees, and usually agrees to
provide shareholder communications. In an unsponsored arrangement, the foreign
issuer is not involved, and the ADR holders pay the fees of the depository.
Sponsored ADRs are generally more advantageous to the ADR holders and the issuer
than are unsponsored ADRs. More and higher fees are generally charged in an
unsponsored program compared to a sponsored facility. Only sponsored ADRs may be
listed on the New York or American Stock Exchanges. Unsponsored ADRs may prove
to be more risky, due to (a) the additional costs involved to the Funds; (b) the
relative illiquidity of the issue in U.S. markets; and (c) the possibility of
higher trading costs in the over-the-counter market as opposed to exchange based
trading. Each Fund will take these and other risk considerations into account
before making an investment in an unsponsored ADR.

     To the extent a Fund invests in securities of issuers in less developed
countries or emerging foreign markets, it will be subject to a variety of
additional risks, including risks associated with political instability,
economies based on relatively few industries, lesser market liquidity, high
rates of inflation, significant price volatility of portfolio holdings and high
levels of external debt in the relevant country.

     Although each Fund may invest in securities denominated in foreign
currencies, each Fund values its securities and other assets in U.S. dollars. As
a result, the net asset value of a Fund's shares may fluctuate with U.S. dollar
exchange rates as well as with price changes of the Fund's securities in the
various local markets and currencies. Thus, an increase in the value of 

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
the U.S. dollar compared to the currencies in which a Fund makes its investments
could reduce the effect of increases and magnify the effect of decreases in the
prices of the Fund's securities in their local markets. Conversely, a decrease
in the value of the U.S. dollar will have the opposite effect of magnifying the
effect of increases and reducing the effect of decreases in the prices of a
Fund's securities in the local markets.

CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS.

     Each Fund's dealings in forward currency exchange contracts will be limited
to hedging involving either specific transactions or aggregate portfolio
positions. A forward currency contract involves an obligation to purchase or
sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days
from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the
time of the contract. These contracts are not commodities and are entered into
in the interbank market conducted directly between currency traders (usually
large commercial banks) and their customers. Although spot and forward contracts
will be used primarily to protect the Fund from adverse currency movements, they
also involve the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately
predicted, which may result in losses to each Fund. This method of protecting
the value of a Fund's portfolio securities against a decline in the value of a
currency does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the
securities. It simply establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved at
some future point in time. Although such contracts tend to minimize the risk of
loss due to a decline in the value of hedged currency, they tend to limit any
potential gain that might result should the value of such currency increase.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS.

     Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements occur
when a Fund acquires a security and the seller, which may be either (i) a
primary dealer in U.S. Government securities or (ii) an FDIC-insured bank having
gross assets in excess of $500 million, simultaneously commits to repurchase it
at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon date within a specified number of days
(usually not more than seven) from the date of purchase. The repurchase price
reflects the purchase price plus an agreed-upon market rate of interest which is
unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the acquired security. A Fund will
only enter into repurchase agreements involving U.S. Government securities.
Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or
insolvency of the other party, including possible delays or restrictions upon
the Fund's ability to dispose of the underlying securities. Repurchase
agreements with maturities greater than seven days when combined with other
illiquid securities will be limited to 15% of each Fund's net assets.

REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS.

     Each Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. However, a Fund may
not engage in reverse repurchase agreements in excess of 5% of the applicable
Fund's total assets. In a reverse repurchase agreement the Fund transfers
possession of a portfolio instrument to another person, such as a financial
institution, broker or dealer, in return for a percentage of the instrument's
market value in cash, and agrees that on a stipulated date in the future the
Fund will repurchase the portfolio instrument by remitting the original
consideration plus interest at an 

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
agreed-upon rate. The ability to use reverse repurchase agreements may enable,
but does not ensure the ability of, a Fund to avoid selling portfolio
instruments at a time when a sale may be deemed to be disadvantageous.

     When effecting reverse repurchase agreements, assets of the applicable Fund
in a dollar amount sufficient to make payment of the obligations to be purchased
are segregated on the applicable Fund's records at the trade date and maintained
until the transaction is settled.

SWAP ARRANGEMENTS.

     Each Fund may enter into various forms of swap arrangements with
counterparties with respect to interest rates, currency rates, securities or
indices, including purchase of caps, floors and collars as described below. In
an interest rate swap a Fund could agree for a specific period to pay a bank or
investment banker the floating rate of interest on a so-called notional
principal amount (i.e., an assumed figure selected by the parties for this
purpose) in exchange for agreement by the bank or investment banker to pay the
Fund a fixed rate of interest on the notional principal amount. In a currency
swap a Fund would agree with the other party to exchange cash flows based on the
relative differences in values of a notional amount of two (or more) currencies;
in an index swap, a Fund would agree to exchange cash flows on a notional amount
based on changes in the values of the selected indices. Purchase of a cap
entitles the purchaser to receive payments from the seller on a notional amount
to the extent that the selected index exceeds an agreed upon interest rate or
amount whereas purchase of a floor entitles the purchaser to receive such
payments to the extent the selected index falls below an agreed upon interest
rate or amount. A collar combines a cap and a floor.

     Most swaps entered into by a Fund will be on a net basis; for example, in
an interest rate swap, amounts generated by application of the fixed rate and
the floating rate to the notional principal amount would first offset one
another, with the Fund either receiving or paying the difference between such
amounts. In order to be in a position to meet any obligations resulting from
swaps, the applicable Fund will set up a segregated custodial account to hold
appropriate liquid assets, including cash; for swaps entered into on a net
basis, assets will be segregated having a daily net asset value equal to any
excess of the applicable Fund's accrued obligations over the accrued obligations
of the other party, while for swaps on other than a net basis assets will be
segregated having a value equal to the total amount of the applicable Fund's
obligations.

     These arrangements will be made primarily for hedging purposes, to preserve
the return on an investment or on a portion of the applicable Fund's portfolio.
However, a Fund may enter into such arrangements for income purposes to the
extent permitted by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission for entities
which are not commodity pool operators, such as the Fund. In entering a swap
arrangement, a Fund is dependent upon the creditworthiness and good faith of the
counterparty. Each Fund attempts to reduce the risks of nonperformance by the
counterparty by dealing only with established, reputable institutions. The swap
market is still relatively new and emerging; positions in swap arrangements may
become illiquid to the extent that nonstandard arrangements with one
counterparty are not readily transferable to another counterparty or if a market
for the transfer of swap positions does not develop. The use of interest rate
swaps is a highly specialized activity which involves investment techniques and

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities
transactions. If the Investment Manager is incorrect in its forecasts of market
values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the investment performance
of the applicable Fund would diminish compared with what it would have been if
these investment techniques were not used. Moreover, even if the Investment
Manager is correct in its forecast, there is a risk that the swap position may
correlate imperfectly with the price of the asset or liability being hedged.

WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES.

     Each Fund may purchase "when-issued" equity securities, which are traded on
a price basis prior to actual issuance. Such purchases will be made only to
achieve a Fund's investment objective and not for leverage. The when-issued
trading period generally lasts from a few days to months, or over a year or
more; during this period dividends on equity securities are not payable. No
dividend income accrues to the Fund prior to the time it takes delivery. A
frequent form of when-issued trading occurs when corporate securities to be
created by a merger of companies are traded prior to the actual consummation of
the merger. Such transactions may involve a risk of loss if the value of the
securities fall below the price committed to prior to the actual issuance. The
Trust's custodian will establish a segregated account for each Fund when it
purchases securities on a when-issued basis consisting of cash or liquid
securities equal to the amount of the when-issued commitments. Securities
transactions involving delayed deliveries or forward commitments are frequently
characterized as when-issued transactions and are similarly treated by each
Fund.

RULE 144A SECURITIES.

     Subject to the percentage limitation on illiquid securities noted below
under Investment Limitations, each Fund may buy or sell restricted securities in
accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Rule 144A
Securities"). Securities may be resold pursuant to Rule 144A under certain
circumstances only to qualified institutional buyers as defined in the rule, and
the markets and trading practices for such securities are relatively new and
still developing; depending on the development of such markets, such Rule 144A
Securities may be deemed to be liquid as determined by or in accordance with
methods adopted by the Trustees. Under such methods the following factors are
considered, among others: the frequency of trades and quotes for the security,
the number of dealers and potential purchasers in the market, marketmaking
activity, and the nature of the security and marketplace trades. Investments in
Rule 144A Securities could have the effect of increasing the level of a Fund's
illiquidity to the extent that qualified institutional buyers become, for a
time, uninterested in purchasing such securities. Also, a Fund may be adversely
impacted by the possible illiquidity and subjective valuation of such securities
in the absence of a market for them.

     DEBT INSTRUMENTS AND PERMITTED CASH INVESTMENTS

     As indicated in the Funds' Prospectus, a Fund may invest in long-term and
short-term debt securities. Certain debt securities and money market instruments
in which a Fund may invest are described below.

                                       9

     U.S. GOVERNMENT AND RELATED SECURITIES.

     U.S. Government securities are securities which are issued or guaranteed as
to principal or interest by the U.S. Government, a U.S. Government agency or
instrumentality, or certain mixed-ownership Government corporations as described
herein. The U.S. Government securities in which each Fund invests include, among
others:

     .    direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, i.e., U.S. Treasury bills,
          notes, certificates and bonds;

     .    obligations of U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities such as
          the Federal Home Loan Banks, the Federal Farm Credit Banks, the
          Federal National Mortgage Association, the Government National
          Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation;
          and

     .    obligations of mixed-ownership Government corporations such as
          Resolution Funding Corporation.

     U.S. Government securities which each Fund may buy are backed in a variety
of ways by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. Some of these
obligations, such as Government National Mortgage Association mortgage-backed
securities, are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. Other
obligations, such as those of the Federal National Mortgage Association, are
backed by the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase certain
obligations of agencies or instrumentalities, although the U.S. Government has
no legal obligation to do so. Obligations such as those of the Federal Home Loan
Banks, the Federal Farm Credit Banks, the Federal National Mortgage Association
and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation are backed by the credit of the
agency or instrumentality issuing the obligations. Certain obligations of
Resolution Funding Corporation, a mixed-ownership Government corporation, are
backed with respect to interest payments by the U.S. Treasury, and with respect
to principal payments by U.S. Treasury obligations held in a segregated account
with a Federal Reserve Bank. Except for certain mortgage-related securities,
each Fund will only invest in obligations issued by mixed-ownership Government
corporations where such securities are guaranteed as to payment of principal or
interest by the U.S. Government or a U.S. Government agency or instrumentality,
and any unguaranteed principal or interest is otherwise supported by U.S.
Government obligations held in a segregated account.

     U.S. Government securities may be acquired by each Fund in the form of
separately traded principal and interest components of securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The principal and interest components of
selected securities are traded independently under the Separate Trading of
Registered Interest and Principal of Securities ("STRIPS") program. Under the
STRIPS program, the principal and interest components are individually numbered
and separately issued by the U.S. Treasury at the request of depository
financial institutions, which then trade the component parts independently.
Obligations of Resolution Funding Corporation are similarly divided into
principal and interest components and maintained as such on the book entry
records of the Federal Reserve Banks.

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
     In addition, each Fund may invest in custodial receipts that evidence
ownership of future interest payments, principal payments or both on certain
U.S. Treasury notes or bonds in connection with programs sponsored by banks and
brokerage firms. Such notes and bonds are held in custody by a bank on behalf of
the owners of the receipts. These custodial receipts are known by various names,
including "Treasury Receipts" ("TRs"), "Treasury Investment Growth Receipts"
("TIGRs") and "Certificates of Accrual on Treasury Securities" ("CATS") , and
may not be deemed U.S. Government securities.

     Each Fund may also invest from time to time in collective investment
vehicles, the assets of which consist principally of U.S. Government securities
or other assets substantially collateralized or supported by such securities,
such as Government trust certificates.

     BANK MONEY INVESTMENTS.

     Bank money investments include but are not limited to certificates of
deposit, bankers' acceptances and time deposits. Certificates of deposit are
generally short-term (i.e., less than one year), interest-bearing negotiable
certificates issued by commercial banks or savings and loan associations against
funds deposited in the issuing institution. A banker's 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). A banker's acceptance may be obtained from a domestic or
foreign bank, including a U.S. branch or agency of a foreign bank. The borrower
is liable for payment as well as the bank, which unconditionally guarantees to
pay the draft at its face amount on the maturity date. Most acceptances have
maturities of six months or less and are traded in secondary markets prior to
maturity. Time deposits are nonnegotiable deposits for a fixed period of time at
a stated interest rate. The Funds will not invest in any such bank money
investment unless the investment is issued by a U.S. bank that is a member of
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), including any foreign branch
thereof, a U.S. branch or agency of a foreign bank, a foreign branch of a
foreign bank, or a savings bank or savings and loan association that is a member
of the FDIC and which at the date of investment has capital, surplus and
undivided profits (as of the date of its most recently published financial
statements) in excess of $50 million. The Funds will not invest in time deposits
maturing in more than seven days and will not invest more than 10% of the total
assets of the applicable Fund in time deposits maturing in two to seven days.

     U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks are offices of foreign banks
and are not separately incorporated entities. They are chartered and regulated
either federally or under state law. U.S. federal branches or agencies of
foreign banks are chartered and regulated by the Comptroller of the Currency,
while state branches and agencies are chartered and regulated by authorities of
the respective states or the District of Columbia. U.S. branches of foreign
banks may accept deposits and thus are eligible for FDIC insurance; however, not
all such branches elect FDIC insurance. Unlike U.S. branches of foreign banks,
U.S. agencies of foreign banks may not accept deposits and thus are not eligible
for FDIC insurance. Both branches and agencies can maintain credit balances,
which are funds received by the office incidental to or arising out of the
exercise of their banking powers and can exercise other commercial functions,
such as lending activities.

     SHORT-TERM CORPORATE DEBT INSTRUMENTS.

     Short-term corporate debt instruments include commercial paper to finance
short-term credit needs (i.e., short-term, unsecured promissory notes) issued by
corporations including but not limited to (a) domestic or foreign bank holding
companies or (b) their subsidiaries or affiliates where the debt instrument is
guaranteed by the bank holding company or an affiliated bank or where the bank
holding company or the affiliated bank is unconditionally liable for the debt
instrument. Commercial paper is usually sold on a discounted basis and has a
maturity at the time of issuance not exceeding nine months.

     COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS.

     Commercial paper investments at the time of purchase will be rated within
the "A" major rating category by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") or within
the "Prime" major rating category by Moody's Investor's Service, Inc.
("Moody's"), or, if not rated, issued by companies having an outstanding long-
term unsecured debt issue rated at least within the "A" rating category by S&P
or by Moody's. The money market investments in corporate bonds and debentures
(which must have maturities at the date of settlement of one year or less) must
be rated at the time of purchase at least within the "A" rating category by S&P
or by Moody's.

     Commercial paper rated within the "A" category (highest quality) by S&P is
issued by entities which have liquidity ratios which are adequate to meet cash
requirements. Long-term senior debt is rated within the "A" category or better,
although in some cases credits within the BBB category may be allowed. The
issuer has access to at least two additional channels of borrowing. Basic
earnings and cash flow have an upward trend with allowance made for unusual
circumstances. Typically, the issuer's industry is well established and the
issuer has a strong position within the industry. The reliability and quality of
management are unquestioned. The relative strength or weakness of the above
factors determines whether the issuer's commercial paper is rated A-l, A-2 or A-
3. (Those A-l issues determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics
are denoted with a plus (+) sign: A-l+.)

     The rating Prime is the highest commercial paper rating assigned by
Moody's. Among the factors considered by Moody's in assigning ratings are the
following: evaluation of the management of the issuer; economic evaluation of
the issuer's industry or industries and an appraisal of speculative-type risks
which may be inherent in certain areas; evaluation of the issuer's products in
relation to competition and customer acceptance; liquidity; amount and quality
of long-term debt; trend of earnings over a period of 10 years; financial
management of obligations which may be present or may arise as a result of
public interest questions and preparations to meet such obligations. These
factors are all considered in determining whether the commercial paper is rated
Prime-l, Prime-2 or Prime-3.

     QUALITY RATINGS OF CORPORATE BONDS AND PREFERRED STOCKS

     CORPORATE BONDS.

     The ratings of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's
Ratings Group for corporate bonds in which the Funds may invest are as follows:

     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 fluctuation 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 in Aaa securities.

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

     Standard & Poor's Ratings Group

     AAA - Bonds rated AAA have the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's
to a debt obligation. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely
strong.

     AA - Bonds rated AA have a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal and differ from the highest rated issues only in small degree.

     A - Bonds rated A have a strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal although they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of
changes in circumstances and economic conditions than bonds in higher rated
categories.

     BBB - Bonds rated BBB are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
interest and repay principal. Whereas they normally exhibit adequate protection
parameters, adverse 

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a
weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for bonds in this category
than for bonds in higher rated categories.

     PREFERRED STOCKS.

     The ratings of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's
Ratings Group for preferred stocks in which the Funds may invest are as follows:

     Moody's Investors Service, Inc.

     aaa - An issue which is rated aaa is considered to be a top-quality
preferred stock. This rating indicates good asset protection and the least risk
of dividend impairment within the universe of preferred stocks.

     aa - An issue which is rated aa is considered a high-grade preferred stock.
This rating indicates that there is reasonable assurance that earnings and asset
protection will remain relatively well maintained in the foreseeable future.

     a - An issue which is rated a is considered to be an upper-medium grade
preferred stock. While risks are judged to be somewhat greater than in the "aaa"
and "aa" classifications, earnings and asset protection are, nevertheless,
expected to be maintained at adequate levels.

     baa - An issue which is rated baa is considered to be medium grade, neither
highly protected nor poorly secured. Earnings and asset protection appear
adequate at present but may be questionable over any great length of time.

     Standard & Poor's Ratings Group

     AAA - This is the highest rating that may be assigned by Standard & Poor's
to a preferred stock issue and indicates an extremely strong capacity to pay the
preferred stock obligations.

     AA - A preferred stock issue rated AA also qualifies as a high-quality
fixed income security. The capacity to pay preferred stock obligations is very
strong, although not as overwhelming as for issues rated AAA.

     A - An issue rated A is backed by a sound capacity to pay the preferred
stock obligations, although it is somewhat more susceptible to the diverse
effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions.

     BBB - An issue rated BBB is regarded as backed by an adequate capacity to
pay the preferred stock obligations. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are
more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to make payments for a preferred
stock in this category than for issues in the A category.

     INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

     The Trust has adopted certain fundamental investment limitations designed
to reduce the risk of an investment in the Funds. These limitations may not be
changed with respect to any Fund without the affirmative vote of a majority of
the outstanding shares of that Fund. The vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting shares of a Fund means the vote (A) of 67% or more of the voting shares
present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting
shares of the Trust are present or represented by proxy; or (B) of more than 50%
of the outstanding voting shares of the Trust, whichever is less.

     The limitations applicable to each Fund are:

     1.   Borrowing Money. The Fund will not borrow money, except (a) from a
bank, provided that immediately after such borrowing there is asset coverage of
300% for all borrowings of the Fund; or (b) from a bank for temporary purposes
only, provided that, when made, such temporary borrowings are in an amount not
exceeding 5% of the Fund's total assets.

     2.   Pledging. The Fund will not mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or in any
manner transfer, as security for indebtedness, any security owned or held by the
Fund except as may be necessary in connection with borrowings described in
limitation (1) above. The Fund will not mortgage, pledge or hypothecate more
than one-third of its assets in connection with borrowings. Deposit of payment
by the Fund of initial or maintenance margin in connection with futures
contracts and related options is not considered a pledge or hypothecation of
assets.

     3.   Margin Purchases. The Fund will not purchase any securities on
"margin" (except such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of
transactions). The deposit of funds in connection with transactions in options,
futures contracts, and options on such contracts will not be considered a
purchase on "margin."

     4.   Short Sales. The Fund will not make short sales of securities, or
maintain a short position, other than short sales "against the box."

     5.   Commodities. The Fund will not purchase or sell commodities or
commodity contracts including futures, or purchase or write put or call options
on commodities, except that the Fund may purchase or sell financial futures
contracts and related options.

     6.   Underwriting. The Fund will not act as underwriter of securities
issued by other persons. This limitation is not applicable to the extent that,
in connection with the disposition of portfolio securities, a Fund may be deemed
an underwriter under certain federal securities laws.

     7.   Real Estate. The Fund will not purchase, hold or deal in real estate
or real estate mortgage loans, including real estate limited partnership
interests, except that the Fund may purchase (a) securities of companies (other
than limited partnerships) which deal in real estate or (b) securities which are
secured by interests in real estate or by interests in mortgage loans including
securities secured by mortgage-backed securities.

                                       15
<PAGE>
 
     8.   Loans. The Fund will not make loans to other persons, except (a) by
loaning portfolio securities, or (b) by engaging in repurchase agreements. For
purposes of this limitation, the term "loans" shall not include the purchase of
bonds, debentures, commercial paper or corporate notes, and similar marketable
evidences of indebtedness.

     9.   Industry Concentration. The Fund will not invest more than 25% of its
total assets in any particular industry, except in the case of U.S. Government
securities.

     10.  Senior Securities. The Fund will not issue or sell any senior security
as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940 except in so far as any
borrowing that the Fund may engage in may be deemed to be an issuance of a
senior security.

     The Trust does not intend to pledge, mortgage or hypothecate the assets of
either Fund. The statements of intention in this paragraph reflect
nonfundamental policies which may be changed by the Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval.

     Other current investment policies of each of the Funds, which are not
fundamental and which may be changed by action of the Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval, are as follows:

     1.   Illiquid Investments. The Fund will not purchase securities for which
no readily available market exists or engage in a repurchase agreement maturing
in more than seven days if, as a result thereof, more than 15% of the value of
the net assets of the Fund would be invested in such securities and the Fund
will not purchase restricted securities (excluding securities eligible for
resale under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933) if, as a result
thereof, more than 10% of the value of the net assets of the Fund would be
invested in such securities.

     2.   Investing for Control. The Fund will not invest in companies for the
purpose of exercising control or management.

     3.   Issuer Concentration. The Fund will not purchase a security of any one
issuer if such purchase at the time thereof would cause (a) more than 10% of the
Fund's total assets to be invested in the securities of any one issuer or (b)
cause more than 10% of any class of securities of such issuer to be held by the
Fund.

     4.   Other Investment Companies. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of
its total assets in securities of other investment companies. The Fund will not
invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of any single
investment company. The Fund will not hold more than 3% of the outstanding
voting stock of any single investment company.

     With respect to the percentages adopted by the Trust as maximum limitations
on a Fund's investment policies and restrictions, an excess above the fixed
percentage (except for the percentage limitations relative to the borrowing of
money and the holding of illiquid securities) will not be a violation of the
policy or restriction unless the excess results immediately and directly from
the acquisition of any security or the action taken.

       THE INVESTMENT MANAGER
    
       Kobrick Funds LLC (the "Investment Manager") is the Trust's investment
manager. Messrs. Kobrick and Carmen, as principals of the Investment Manager,
may directly or indirectly receive benefits from the advisory fees paid to the
Investment Manager. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement between
the Trust and the Investment Manager, the Investment Manager manages the Funds'
investments. On a monthy basis, each Fund pays the Investment Manager an annual
advisory fee computed as 1.00% of the average of the values of the net assets of
the Fund as determined at the close of each business day during the year. The 
advisory fees paid to the Investment Manager during the Fund's last fiscal year 
were $250,782 with respect to the Capital Fund, $239,480 with respect to the 
Emerging Growth Fund and $856 with respect to the Growth Fund. Such advisory 
fees covered services rendered to the Capital Fund and the Emerging Growth Fund 
for nine months and to the Growth Fund for one month.     

       The Funds are responsible for the payment of all expenses incurred in
connection with the organization, registration of shares and operations of the
Funds, including such extraordinary or non-recurring expenses as may arise, such
as litigation to which the Trust may be a party. The operating expenses include
fees and expenses in connection with membership in investment company
organizations, brokerage fees and commissions, legal, auditing and accounting
expenses, expenses related to the distribution of the Funds' shares (which
expenses will be paid from the 12b-1 fees under the Distribution Plan; see
"Distribution Plan"), insurance expenses, taxes or governmental fees, fees and
expenses of the custodian, transfer agent, administrator, and accounting and
pricing agent of the Funds, fees and expenses of members of the Board of
Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust, the cost of preparing and
distributing prospectuses, statements, reports and other documents to
shareholders, and expenses of shareholders' meetings and proxy solicitations.
The Funds may have an obligation to indemnify the Trust's officers and Trustees
with respect to such litigation, except in instances of willful misfeasance, bad
faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard by such officers and Trustees in
the performance of their duties. The compensation and expenses of any officer,
Trustee or employee of the Trust who is an officer, director or employee of the
Investment Manager are paid by the Investment Manager.

       The Investment Advisory Agreement provides that the Investment Manager
shall furnish the Trust with suitable office space and facilities and such
management, investment advisory, statistical and research facilities and
services as may be required from time to time by the Trust and the Funds are
responsible for its other expenses and services. In view of the requirements for
management of the Funds' particular investment program, this fee is higher than
those charges for many other funds.
    
       By its terms, the Trust's Investment Advisory Agreement will remain in
force until December 31, 1999 and from year to year thereafter, subject to
annual approval by (a) the Board of Trustees or (b) a vote of the majority of a
Fund's outstanding voting securities; provided that in either event continuance
is also approved by a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of
the Trust, by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of
voting on such approval. The Trust's Investment Advisory Agreement may be
terminated at any time, on sixty days' written notice, without the payment of
any penalty, by the Board of Trustees, by a vote of the majority of a Fund's
outstanding voting securities, or by the Investment Manager. The Investment
Advisory Agreement automatically terminates in the event of its assignment, as
defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules thereunder.     

                                       19

       The name "Kobrick" is the property right of the Investment Manager. The
Investment Manager may use the name "Kobrick" in other connections and for other
purposes, including in the name of other investment companies. The Trust has
agreed to discontinue any use of the name "Kobrick" if the Investment Manager
ceases to be employed as the Trust's investment manager.     

       DISTRIBUTION PLAN

       As stated in the Funds' Prospectus, the Funds have adopted a plan of
distribution (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 which permits each Fund to pay for expenses incurred in the
distribution and promotion of the Funds' shares, including but not limited to,
the printing of prospectuses, statements of additional information and reports
used for sales purposes, advertisements, expenses of preparation and printing of
sales literature, promotion, marketing and sales expenses and other 
distribution-related expenses, including any distribution fees paid to
securities dealers or other firms who have executed a distribution or service
agreement with the Trust. The Plan expressly limits payment of the distribution
expenses listed above in any fiscal year to a maximum of .25% of the average
daily net assets of each Fund.

       The continuance of the Plan must be specifically approved at least
annually by a vote of the Trust's Board of Trustees and by a vote of the
Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust and have no direct or
indirect financial interest in the Plan (the "Independent Trustees") at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on such continuance. The Plan may be
terminated at any time by a vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees or by
a vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of a Fund. In the
event the Plan is terminated in accordance with its terms, the affected Fund
will not be required to make any payments for expenses incurred by the
Investment Manager after the termination date. The Plan may not be amended to
increase materially the amount to be spent for distribution without shareholder
approval. All material amendments to the Plan must be approved by a vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees and by a vote of the Independent Trustees.

       In approving the Plan, the Trustees determined, in the exercise of their
business judgment and in light of their fiduciary duties as Trustees, that there
is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit the Funds and their
shareholders. The Board of Trustees believes that expenditure of the Funds'
assets for distribution expenses under the Plan should assist in the growth of
the Funds which will benefit the Funds and their shareholders through increased
economies of scale, greater investment flexibility, greater portfolio
diversification and less chance of disruption of planned investment strategies.
The Plan will be renewed only if the Trustees make a similar determination for
each subsequent year of the Plan. There can be no assurance that the benefits
anticipated from the expenditure of the Funds' assets for distribution will be
realized. While the Plan is in effect, all amounts spent by the Funds pursuant
to the Plan and the purposes for which such expenditures were made must be
reported quarterly to the Board of Trustees for its review. In addition, the
selection and nomination of those Trustees who are not interested persons of the
Trust are committed to the discretion of the Independent Trustees during such
period.

       As principals of the Investment Manager, Messrs. Kobrick and Carmen may
be deemed to have a financial interest in the operation of the Plan.

       SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

       The Investment Manager's policy is to seek for its clients, including the
Funds, what in the Investment Manager's judgment will be the best overall
execution of purchase or sale orders and the most favorable net prices in
securities transactions consistent with its judgment as to the business
qualifications of the various broker or dealer firms with whom the Investment
Manager may do business, and the Investment Manager may not necessarily choose
the broker offering the lowest available commission rate. Decisions with respect
to the market where the transaction is to be completed, to the form of
transaction (whether principal or agency) and to the allocation of orders among
brokers or dealers are made in accordance with this policy. In selecting brokers
or dealers to effect portfolio transactions, consideration is given to their
proven integrity and financial responsibility, their demonstrated execution
experience and capabilities both generally and with respect to particular
markets or securities, the competitiveness of their commission rates in agency
transactions (and their net prices in principal transactions), their willingness
to commit capital, and their clearance and settlement capability. The Investment
Manager makes every effort to keep informed of commission rate structures and
prevalent bid/ask spread characteristics of the markets and securities in which
transactions for the Funds occur. Against this background, the Investment
Manager evaluates the reasonableness of a commission or a net price with respect
to a particular transaction by considering such factors as difficulty of
execution or security positioning by the executing firm. The Investment Manager
may or may not solicit competitive bids based on its judgment of the expected
benefit or harm to the execution process for that transaction.

       When it appears that a number of firms could satisfy the required
standards in respect of a particular transaction, consideration may also be
given to services other than execution services which certain of such firms have
provided in the past or may provide in the future. Negotiated commission rates
and prices, however, are based upon the Investment Manager's judgment of the
rate which reflects the execution requirements of the transaction without regard
to whether the broker provides services in addition to execution. Among such
other services are the supplying of supplemental investment research; general
economic, political and business information; analytical and statistical data;
relevant market information, quotation equipment and services; reports and
information about specific companies, industries and securities; purchase and
sale recommendations for stocks and bonds; portfolio strategy services;
historical statistical information; market data services providing information
on specific issues and prices; financial publications; proxy voting data and
analysis services; technical analysis of various aspects of the securities
markets, including technical charts; computer hardware used for brokerage and
research purposes; computer software and databases, including those used for
portfolio analysis and modeling; and portfolio evaluation services and relative
performance of accounts.

       Certain nonexecution services provided by broker-dealers may in turn be
obtained by the broker-dealers from third parties who are paid for such services
by the broker-dealers.

                                       21
<PAGE>
 
         The Investment Manager regularly reviews and evaluates the services
furnished by broker-dealers. Some services may be used for research and
investment decision-making purposes, and also for marketing or administrative
purposes. Under these circumstances, the Investment Manager allocates the cost
of such services to determine the appropriate proportion of the cost which is
allocable to purposes other than research or investment decision-making and is
therefore paid directly by the Investment Manager. Some research and execution
services may benefit the Investment Manager's clients as a whole, while others
may benefit a specific segment of clients. Not all such services will
necessarily be used exclusively in connection with the accounts which pay the
commissions to the broker-dealer producing the services.

         The Investment Manager has no fixed agreements or understanding with
any broker-dealer as to the amount of brokerage business which that firm may
expect to receive for services supplied to the Investment Manager or otherwise.
There may be, however, understandings with certain firms that in order for such
firms to be able to continuously supply certain services, they need to receive
allocation of a specified amount of brokerage business. These understandings are
honored to the extent possible in accordance with the policies set forth above.

         It is not the Investment Manager's policy to intentionally pay a firm a
brokerage commission higher that that which another firm would charge for
handling the same transaction in recognition of services (other than execution
services), provided, however, that the Investment Manager is aware that this is
an area where differences of opinion as to fact and circumstances may exist, and
in such circumstances, if any, the Investment Manager relies on the provisions
of Section 28(e) of the Securities Act of 1934, to the extent applicable.
    
         CODE OF ETHICS. The Trust and the Investment Manager have each adopted
a Code of Ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The
Code significantly restricts the personal investing for certain individuals,
activities of all officers and investment personnel of the Investment Manager,
including having to preclear any personal securities (with limited exceptions,
such as U.S. Government obligations). The preclearance requirement and
associated procedures are designed to identify any substantive prohibition or
limitation applicable to the proposed investment. In addition, no officer or
investment personnel may purchase or sell any security which, at that time, is
being purchased or sold (as the case may be), or to the knowledge of such
person, is being considered for purchase or sale, by any of the Funds. The
substantive restrictions applicable to certain officers and investment personnel
of the Investment Manager include a ban on acquiring any securities in an
initial public offering. Furthermore, the Code provides for trading "blackout
periods" which prohibit trading by certain officers and investment personnel of
the Investment Manager within periods of trading by any of the Funds in the same
(or equivalent) security.     

         GROUPING OF SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS Messrs. Kobrick and Carmen, in
addition to serving as the senior officers of the Investment Manager, are also
the principals in private investment partnerships, and may act in that capacity
with respect to other similar investment partnerships. One or more of such
accounts, may from time to time, purchase or sell securities or have securities
under consideration for purchase or sale that are also being sold or purchased
or considered for sale or purchase by the Funds. In those instances where
securities transactions are carried on at the same time on behalf of any or all
of the Funds and such other accounts, 

                                       22
<PAGE>
 
transactions in such securities for such accounts may be grouped with securities
transactions carried out on behalf of the Funds. The practice of grouping orders
of various accounts will be followed to get the benefit of best prices or
commission rates. In certain cases where the aggregate order may be executed in
a series of transactions at various prices the transactions will be allocated as
to amount and price in a manner considered equitable to each account so that
each receives, to the extent practicable, the average price for such
transactions. Transactions will not be grouped unless it is the judgment of the
Investment Manager that such aggregation is consistent with its duty to seek
best execution (which includes the duty to seek best price) for the Funds and in
each case the books and records of the Funds and any such other account will
separately reflect, for each account, the orders of which are aggregated and the
securities held by and bought and sold for that account.

         PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

         A Fund's portfolio turnover rate is calculated by dividing the lesser
of purchases or sales of portfolio securities, excluding securities having
maturity dates at acquisition of one year or less, for the fiscal year by the
monthly average of the value of the portfolio securities owned by the Fund
during the fiscal year. High portfolio turnover involves correspondingly greater
brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, which will be borne directly
by the Funds. The Investment Manager anticipates that the portfolio turnover
rate for the Growth Fund normally will not exceed 100% and for each of the
Capital Fund and the Emerging Growth Fund the portfolio turnover normally will
be in the range of 150% - 250%.

         Generally, each Fund intends to invest for long-term purposes. However,
the rate of portfolio turnover will depend upon market and other conditions, and
it will not be a limiting factor when the Investment Manager believes that
portfolio changes are appropriate.

         CALCULATION OF SHARE PRICE

         The share price (net asset value) of the shares of each Fund is
determined as of the close of the regular session of trading on the New York
Stock Exchange (traditionally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) on each day the Fund is
open for business. Each Fund is open for business on every day except Saturdays,
Sundays and the following holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day,
President's Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving and Christmas.

         The net asset value per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing
the sum of the value of the securities held by the applicable Fund plus cash or
other assets minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the
total number of shares outstanding of the applicable Fund, rounded to the
nearest cent.

         Portfolio securities are valued as follows: (i) securities which are
traded on stock exchanges or are quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the last
reported sale prices as of the close of the regular session of trading on the
New York Stock Exchange on the day the securities are being valued, or, if not
traded on a particular day, at the closing bid prices, (ii) securities traded in
the over-the-counter market, and which are not quoted by NASDAQ, are valued at
the last sale 

                                       23
<PAGE>
 
prices (or, if a last sale price is not readily available, at the last bid price
as quoted by brokers that make markets in the securities) as of the close of the
regular session of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the day the
securities are being valued, (iii) securities which are traded both in the over-
the-counter market and on a stock exchange are valued according to the broadest
and most representative market, (iv) short-term investments with maturities less
than 60 days are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value and
(v) securities (and other assets) for which market quotations are not readily
available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith in
accordance with consistently applied procedures established by and under the
general supervision of the Board of Trustees. The net asset value per share of
each of the Funds will fluctuate with the value of the securities it holds.

         TAXES

         The Funds' Prospectus describes generally the tax treatment of
distributions by the Funds. This section of the Statement of Additional
Information includes additional information concerning federal taxes.

         Each Fund intends to qualify annually for the special tax treatment
afforded a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code so that it does not pay federal taxes on income and capital gains
distributed to shareholders. However, it cannot give complete assurance that it
will do so. To so qualify a Fund must, among other things, (i) derive at least
90% of its gross income in each taxable year from dividends, interest, payments
with respect to securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of
stock, securities or foreign currency, or certain other income (including but
not limited to gains from options, futures and forward contracts) derived with
respect to its business of investing in stock, securities or currencies; and
(ii) diversify its holdings so that at the end of each quarter of its taxable
year the following two conditions are met: (a) at least 50% of the value of the
Fund's total assets is represented by cash, U.S. Government securities,
securities of other regulated investment companies and other securities (for
this purpose such other securities will qualify only if the Fund's investment is
limited in respect to any issuer to an amount not greater than 5% of the Fund's
assets and 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer) and (b) not
more than 25% of the value of the Fund's assets is invested in securities of any
one issuer (other than U.S. Government securities or securities of other
regulated investment companies).

         A Fund's net realized capital gains from securities transactions will
be distributed only after reducing such gains by the amount of any available
capital loss carryforwards. Capital losses may be carried forward to offset any
capital gains for eight years, after which any undeducted capital loss remaining
is lost as a deduction.

         A federal excise tax at the rate of 4% will be imposed on the excess,
if any, of a Fund's "required distribution" over actual distributions in any
calendar year. Generally, the "required distribution" is 98% of a Fund's
ordinary income for the calendar year plus 98% of its net capital gains
recognized during the one year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year
plus undistributed amounts from prior years. The Funds intend to make
distributions sufficient to avoid imposition of the excise tax.

                                       24
<PAGE>
 
         Each Fund is required to withhold and remit to the U.S. Treasury a
portion (31%) of redemptions and dividend income on any account unless the
shareholder provides a taxpayer identification number and certifies that such
number is correct and that the shareholder is not subject to backup withholding
or demonstrates an exemption from withholding.

         REDEMPTION IN KIND

         Under unusual circumstances, when the Board of Trustees deems it in the
best interests of a Fund's shareholders, the Fund may make payment for shares
repurchased or redeemed in whole or in part in securities of the Fund taken at
current value. The Funds have made an election pursuant to Rule 18f-1 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 which requires the Funds to redeem shares solely
in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net asset value of each Fund
during any 90 day period for any one shareholder. Should payment be made in
securities, the redeeming shareholder will generally incur brokerage costs in
converting such securities to cash. Portfolio securities which are issued in an
in-kind redemption will be readily marketable.

         HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

         From time to time, each Fund may advertise average annual total return.
Average annual total return quotations will be computed by finding the average
annual compounded rates of return over 1, 5 and 10 year periods that would
equate the initial amount invested to the ending redeemable value, according to
the following formula:


               P (1 + T)/n/ = ERV 
         Where:

         P =   a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
         T =   average annual total return
         n =   number of years
         ERV=  ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment
               made at the beginning of the 1, 5 and 10 year periods at the
               end of the 1, 5 or 10 year periods (or fractional portion
               thereof)

         The calculation of average annual total return assumes the reinvestment
of all dividends and distributions. If a Fund has been in existence less than
one, five or ten years, the time period since the date of the initial public
offering of shares will be substituted for the periods stated. Each Fund may
also advertise total return (a "nonstandardized quotation") which is calculated
differently from average annual total return. A nonstandardized quotation of
total return may be a cumulative return which measures the percentage change in
the value of an account between the beginning and end of a period, assuming no
activity in the account other than reinvestment of dividends and capital gains
distributions. A nonstandardized quotation may also indicate average annual
compounded rates of return over periods other than those specified for average
annual total return. A nonstandardized quotation of total return will always be
accompanied by a Fund's average annual total return as described above.

                                       25
<PAGE>
 
         From time to time, each of the Funds may also advertise its yield. A
yield quotation is based on a 30-day (or one month) period and is computed by
dividing the net investment income per share earned during the period by the
maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period, according to the
following formula:

                Yield = 2[(a-b/cd + 1)6 - 1] 
         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 outstanding during the
                period that were entitled to receive dividends
         d =    the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the
                period

         Solely for the purpose of computing yield, dividend income is
recognized by accruing 1/360 of the stated dividend rate of the security each
day that a Fund owns the security. Generally, interest earned (for the purpose
of "a" above) on debt obligations is computed by reference to the yield to
maturity of each obligation held based on the market value of the obligation
(including actual accrued interest) at the close of business on the last
business day prior to the start of the 30-day (or one month) period for which
yield is being calculated, or, with respect to obligations purchased during the
month, the purchase price (plus actual accrued interest). With respect to the
treatment of discount and premium on mortgage or other receivables-backed
obligations which are expected to be subject to monthly paydowns of principal
and interest, gain or loss attributable to actual monthly paydowns is accounted
for as an increase or decrease to interest income during the period and discount
or premium on the remaining security is not amortized.

         The performance quotations described above are based on historical
earnings and are not intended to indicate future performance.

         To help investors better evaluate how an investment in a Fund might
satisfy their investment objective, advertisements regarding each Fund may
discuss various measures of Fund performance, including current performance
ratings and/or rankings appearing in financial magazines, newspapers and
publications which track mutual fund performance. Advertisements may also
compare performance (using the calculation methods set forth in the Prospectus)
to performance as reported by other investments, indices and averages. When
advertising current ratings or rankings, the Funds may use the following
publications or indices to discuss or compare Fund performance:

         Lipper Mutual Fund Performance Analysis and Lipper Fixed Income Fund
Performance Analysis measure total return and average current yield for the
mutual fund industry and rank individual mutual fund performance over specified
time periods assuming reinvestment of all distributions, exclusive of sales
loads. The Growth Fund may provide comparative performance information appearing
in the Growth Funds category, the Capital Fund may provide comparative
performance information appearing in the Capital Appreciation Funds category and
the Emerging Growth Fund may provide comparative performance information
appearing in the 

                                       26
<PAGE>
 
Small Capitalization Funds category. In addition, the Funds may use comparative
performance information of relevant indices, including the S&P 500 Index, the
Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Russell 2000 Index and the Russell 3000 Index.
The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks, the purpose of which is
to portray the pattern of common stock price movement. The Dow Jones Industrial
Average is a measurement of general market price movement for 30 widely held
stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Russell 2000 Index is an
unmanaged index of 2000 small capitalization U.S. stocks and is a commonly used
index of U.S. small stock performance. The Russell 3000 Index is an unmanaged
index of the 3,000 largest companies based on total market capitalization.

         In assessing such comparisons of performance an investor should keep in
mind that the composition of the investments in the reported indices and
averages is not identical to the Fund's portfolio, that the averages are
generally unmanaged and that the items included in the calculations of such
averages may not be identical to the formula used by the Fund to calculate its
performance. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Fund will continue
this performance as compared to such other averages.

         CUSTODIAN

         State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSBT"), 225 Franklin Street,
Boston, MA 02110, has been retained to act as Custodian for the Funds'
investments. SSBT acts as each Fund's depository, safekeeps its portfolio
securities, collects all income and other payments with respect thereto,
disburses funds as instructed and maintains records in connection with its
duties.

         SSBT also provides accounting and pricing services to the Funds. This
includes calculating daily net asset value per share and maintaining such books
and records as are necessary to enable the Transfer Agent to perform its duties.
For these custodial, accounting and pricing services, each Fund pays an annual
fee based on an average monthly net assets in accordance with the following
schedule:

         AVERAGE                            FEE (EXPRESSED AS A
         MONTHLY                            PERCENTAGE OF AVERAGE
         NET ASSETS                         MONTHLY NET ASSETS)
         ----------                         -------------------
         First $100 million                       0.04%
         Next $100 million                        0.02%
         Excess                                   0.01%

                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                September 30, 1998

NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION

   The Kobrick-Cendant Investment Trust (the "Trust") was organized as a
Massachusetts business trust on October 10, 1997, and is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified open-end management
investment company. The Trust consists presently of three separate Funds:
Kobrick-Cendant Capital Fund (commenced operations January 2, 1998),
Kobrick-Cendant Emerging Growth Fund (commenced operations January 2, 1998) and
Kobrick-Cendant Growth Fund (commenced operations September 1, 1998)
(individually, a "Fund", collectively, the "Funds"). The investment objective of
the Kobrick-Cendant Capital Fund is to seek maximum capital appreciation. In
seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Kobrick-Cendant Capital Fund
invests primarily in equity securities of companies with small, medium and large
capitalizations, including those considered by the Fund's investment manager to
be undervalued special situations and emerging growth companies. The investment
objective of the Kobrick-Cendant Emerging Growth Fund is to provide growth in
capital. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Kobrick-Cendant
Emerging Growth Fund invests primarily in equity securities of emerging growth
and small capitalization companies. The investment objective of the
Kobrick-Cendant Growth Fund is to provide long-term growth of capital. In
seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Kobrick-Cendant Growth Fund
invests primarily in equity securities of companies with large capitalizations
believed by the Fund's investment manager to have better than average growth
potential over the years.

NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

SECURITY VALUATION: Each Fund's investment securities which are traded on stock
exchanges or are quoted by the National Association of Security Dealers
Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") are valued at the last reported sale
prices as of the close of the regular session of trading on the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE") on the day the securities are valued, or if not traded on a
particular day, at the closing bid prices. Securities traded in the
over-the-counter market, and which are not quoted by NASDAQ, are valued at the
last sale prices (or, if the last sale prices are not readily available, at the
last bid prices as quoted by the brokers that make markets in the securities) as
of the close of the regular session of trading on the NYSE on the day the
securities are being valued. Securities which are traded both in the
over-the-counter market and on a stock exchange are valued according to the
broadest and most representative market. Short-term investments with
maturities less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost which approximates
market value. Securities for which current market quotations are not readily
available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith in
accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with
institutions that the Fund's investment adviser Kobrick-Cendant Funds, Inc.
("Kobrick-Cendant"), has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria
adopted by the Board of Trustees. The repurchase

                       Kobrick-Cendant Investment Trust
                   Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
                              September 30, 1998


agreements are collateralized by U.S. Government securities. The Fund's
custodian takes possession of the underlying securities. It is the policy of the
Funds to value the underlying collateral daily on a mark-to-market basis to
determine that the value of the collateral held, including accrued interest, is
at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price. In the event of default of the
obligation to repurchase, the Funds have the right to liquidate the collateral
and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Investment security transactions
are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments
sold are recorded based on the specific identification method. Dividend income
on investment securities, less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on
the ex-dividend date. Interest income on investment securities is recorded on
the accrual basis.

EXPENSES: Certain of the Trust's expenses are allocated equally to those Funds
which make up the Trust. Other expenses of the Trust are allocated to the
respective Funds based upon the relative net assets of each Fund. Operating
expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to the Fund's operations.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: It is the policy of each Fund to
declare and pay dividends from net investment income at least annually. Each
Fund will distribute net realized capital gains (including net short-term
capital gains) unless offset by any available capital loss carryforward, at
least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are
determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ
from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are due
primarily to differing treatments of income and gain on various investment
securities held by the Funds, timing differences and differing characterizations
of distributions made by the Funds.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment
company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), by complying with the provisions available to regulated investment
companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Code, and to make
distributions of taxable income to shareholders sufficient to relieve each Fund
from all or substantially all federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision
for federal income tax has been made. The Funds elected to defer to their fiscal
year ending September 30, 1999, losses of $23,331, $1,290,191 and $13,133 on
Kobrick-Cendant Capital Fund, Kobrick-Cendant Emerging Growth Fund and
Kobrick-Cendant Growth Fund, respectively.

OFFERING AND ORGANIZATION COSTS: Offering costs, including the fees and expenses
of registering and qualifying shares of each Fund for distribution under Federal
and state securities regulations, are being amortized over the one-year period
from the date each Fund commenced its operations. Costs and expenses of the
Trust in connection with the organization of the Trust and the initial offering
of shares of each Fund, excluding the Kobrick-Cendant Growth Fund, have been
deferred by the Trust and are being amortized on a straight-line basis from the
date operations commenced over a period that a benefit is expected will be
realized, not to exceed sixty months.

                   Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
                                September 30, 1998

If any of the initial shares of the Kobrick-Cendant Capital Fund and
Kobrick-Cendant Emerging Growth Fund are redeemed during the amortization period
of these organizational costs by any holder thereof, the redemption proceeds
will be reduced by a pro rata portion of the unamortized organization costs.
Organizational costs associated with the Kobrick-Cendant Growth Fund have been
borne by Kobrick-Cendant.

USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

LINE OF CREDIT: The Trust has entered into a committed line of credit with a
bank. This line of credit agreement includes restrictions that the Trust
maintain an asset coverage ratio of at least 300% and borrowings must not exceed
prospectus limitations. For the period ended September 30, 1998, the Trust had
no borrowings against the line of credit.

NOTE 3 -- INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

   The Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the "Advisory
Agreement") with Kobrick-Cendant. Under the agreement, Kobrick-Cendant provides
investment management services to the Trust, and is entitled to receive a fee,
computed daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% based on average
daily net assets of each Fund.

   Cendant Corporation has an interest in non-voting preferred stock of
Kobrick-Cendant and warrants which, if exercised, could result in Cendant
Corporation owning a majority of the total common stock in Kobrick-Cendant. For
the period ended September 30, 1998, Cendant Corporation owned 70%, 81%, and 98%
of the Kobrick-Cendant Capital Fund, Kobrick-Cendant Emerging Growth Fund, and
Kobrick-Cendant Growth Fund, respectively. Investment activities of this
shareholder could have a material impact on the Funds.

   Kobrick-Cendant may, from time to time, voluntarily waive its fees or
reimburse expenses charged to each Fund. Pursuant to the transfer agent
agreement, Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. ("BFDS") has agreed to waive a
portion of their fees for the first six months of each Fund's operations. For
the period ended September 30, 1998, Kobrick-Cendant and BFDS waived fees and/or
reimbursed expenses as follows:

     No officer, director or employee of Kobrick-Cendant, or any affiliate
thereof, receives any compensation from the Trust for serving as trustee or
officer of the Trust. Each Trustee who is not an "affiliated person" receives an
annual fee from the Trust of $4,000 plus $500 from each Fund for each board
meeting attended and $500 from each Fund for each audit committee meeting
attended. The Trust also reimburses out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each
Trustee for attending such meetings.

NOTE 4 -- DISTRIBUTION PLAN

     Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trust
has adopted a plan of distribution (the "Plan") under which each Fund may
directly incur certain distribution-related expenses, including: payments to
securities dealers and others who are engaged in the sale of shares of each Fund
and who may be advising shareholders of each Fund regarding the purchase, sale
or retention of such shares; expenses of maintaining personnel who engage in or
support distribution of shares or who render shareholder support services not
otherwise provided by the Trust's transfer agent; expenses of formulating and
implementing marketing and promotional activities; expenses of preparing,
printing and distributing sales literature, prospectuses, statements of
additional information and reports for recipients other than existing
shareholders of each Fund; expenses of obtaining such information, analyses and
reports with respect to marketing and promotional activities as the Trust may,
from time to time, deem advisable, and any other expenses related to the
distribution of the Funds' shares. The annual limitation for expenses pursuant
to the plan is .25% of each Fund's average daily net assets.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


To the Trustees of Kobrick-Cendant Investment Trust and Shareholders of:

     Kobrick-Cendant Capital Fund
     Kobrick-Cendant Emerging Growth Fund
     Kobrick-Cendant Growth Fund

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Kobrick-Cendant Capital Fund,
Kobrick-Cendant Emerging Growth Fund and Kobrick-Cendant Growth Fund
(constituting Kobrick-Cendant Investment Trust, hereafter referred to as the
"Trust") at September 30, 1998, and the results of their operations, the changes
in their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Trust's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at
September 30, 1998 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                              -------------------------------------------
                 Subject to and except as otherwise provided in the Securities
                 Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, and the 1940 Act, the Trust

                 and officers (including persons who serve at the Trust's
                 request as directors, officers or trustees of another
                 organization in which the Trust has any interest as a
                 shareholder, creditor or otherwise (hereinafter referred to as
                 a "Covered Person")) against all liabilities, including but not
                 limited to amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in
                 compromise or as fines and penalties, and expenses, including
                 reasonable accountants' and counsel fees, incurred by any
                 Covered Person in connection with the defense or disposition of
                 any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or
                 criminal, before any court or administrative or legislative
                 body, in which such Covered Person may be or may have been
                 involved as a party or otherwise or with which such person may
                 be or may have been threatened, while in office or thereafter,
                 by reason of being or having been such a Trustee or officer,
                 director or trustee, except with respect to any matter as to
                 which it has been determined that such Covered Person had acted
                 with willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or
                 reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of
                 such Covered Person's office (such conduct referred to
                 hereafter as "Disabling Conduct"). A determination that the
                 Covered Person is entitled to indemnification may be made by
                 (i) a final decision on the merits by a court or other body
                 before whom the proceeding was brought that the person to be
                 indemnified was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct, (ii)
                 dismissal of a court action or an administrative proceeding
                 against a Covered Person for insufficiency of evidence of
                 Disabling Conduct, or (iii) a reasonable determination, based
                 upon a review of the facts, that the indemnitee was not liable
                 by reason of Disabling Conduct by (a) a vote of a majority of a
                 quorum of Trustees who are neither "interested persons" of the
                 Trust as defined in section 2(a) (19) of the 1940 Act nor
                 parties to the proceeding, or (b) an independent legal counsel
                 in a written opinion. Expenses, including accountants' and
                 counsel fees so incurred by any such Covered Person (but
                 excluding amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in
                 compromise or as fines or penalties), may be paid from time to
                 time by the Trust in advance of the final disposition of any
                 such action, suit or proceeding, provided that the Covered
                 Person shall have undertaken to repay the amounts so paid to
                 the Trust if it is ultimately determined that indemnification
                 of such expenses is not authorized under this Article VI and
                 (i) the Covered Person shall have provided security for such
                 undertaking, (ii) the Trust shall be insured against losses
                 arising by reason of any lawful advances, or (iii) a majority
                 of a quorum of the disinterested Trustees who are not a party
                 to the proceeding, or an independent legal counsel in a written
                 opinion, shall have determined, based on a review of readily
                 available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that
                 there is reason to believe that the Covered Person ultimately
                 will be found entitled to indemnification.

                 Section 6.5  Compromise Payment. As to any matter disposed of
                              ------------------
                 by a compromise payment by any such Covered Person referred to
                 in Section 6.4, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise, no
                 such indemnification either for said payment or for any other
                 expenses shall be provided unless such indemnification shall be
                 approved (a) by a majority of the disinterested Trustees who
                 are not parties to the proceeding or (b) by an independent
                 legal counsel in a written opinion. Approval by the Trustees
                 pursuant to clause (a) or by independent legal counsel pursuant
                 to clause (b) shall not prevent the recovery from any Covered
                 Person of any amount paid to such Covered Person in accordance
                 with any of such clauses as indemnification if such Covered
                 Person is subsequently adjudicated by a court of competent
                 jurisdiction to have been liable to the Trust or its
                 Shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
                 negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the
                 conduct of such Covered Person's office.

                 Section 6.6  Indemnification Not Exclusive, etc. The right of
                              -----------------------------------
                 indemnification provided by this Article VI shall not be
                 exclusive of or affect any other rights to which any such
                 Covered Person may be entitled. As used in this Article VI,
                 "Covered Person" shall include such person's heirs, executors
                 and administrators, an "interested Covered Person" is one
                 against whom the action, suit or other proceeding in question
                 or another action, suit or other proceeding on the same or
                 similar grounds is then or has been pending or threatened, and
                 a "disinterested" person is a person against whom none of such
                 actions, suits or other proceedings or another action, suit or
                 other proceeding on the same or similar grounds is then or has
                 been pending or threatened. Nothing contained in this Article
                 shall affect any rights to indemnification to which personnel
                 of the Trust, other than Trustees and officers, and other
                 persons may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law, nor
                 the power of the Trust to purchase and maintain liability
                 insurance on behalf of any such person."

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

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
          whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
          expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
          such issue.
    
          The Registrant expects to maintain a standard mutual fund and
          investment advisory professional and directors and officers liability
          policy. The policy will provide coverage to the Registrant, its
          Trustees and officers, and Kobrick Funds LLC (the "Investment
          Manager"). Coverage under the policy will include losses by reason of
          any act, error, omission, misstatement, misleading statement, neglect
          or breach of duty.     

          The Advisory Agreement with the Investment Manager provides that the
          Investment Manager shall not be liable for any action taken, omitted
          or suffered to be taken by it in its reasonable judgment, in good
          faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or
          rights or powers conferred upon it by the Advisory Agreement, or in
          accordance with (or in the absence of) specific directions or
          instructions from the Trust, provided, however, that such acts or
          omissions shall not have resulted from the Investment Manager's
          willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence, a violation of the
          standard of care established by and applicable to the Investment
          Manager in its actions under the Advisory Agreement or breach of its
          duty or of its obligations under the Advisory Agreement.

Dear Sirs:     
    
     We are furnishing this opinion with a view to your filing the same or
duplicates thereof with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington,
D.C., in connection with the filing of a Registration Statement on Form N-1A by
you with said Commission with which this opinion or duplicates thereof are to be
filed. Said Registration Statement is being filed by Kobrick Investment Trust
(the "Trust") to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, an
indefinite number of shares of beneficial interest ("Shares") in the Kobrick
Growth Fund, the Kobrick Capital Fund and the Kobrick Emerging Growth Fund
series of the Trust.     
    
     We act as your legal counsel and have examined all such records, papers and
documents as we believe necessary in order to enable us to render the opinion
set forth below.     
    
     On the basis of the foregoing we are of the opinion that:     
    
     1.   The Trust was duly organized and is a lawfully existing business
trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.     
    
     2.   The Trust has authorized capital stock consisting of an unlimited
number of shares of beneficial interest.     
    
     3.   The Shares of Kobrick Growth Fund, Kobrick Capital Fund and Kobrick
Emerging Growth Fund to be sold pursuant to such Registration Statement are duly
authorized and, when issued and sold as described in such Registration Statement
will be, legally and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.     
    
                    Very truly yours,     
    
                    /s/ Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C.
