                       SUPPLEMENT DATED DECEMBER 31, 1998
                        TO PROSPECTUS DATED JULY 7, 1998
                  SUPERCEDES SUPPLEMENT DATED OCTOBER 26, 1998

    THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SHOULD BE INSERTED ON PAGE 4 OF THE PROSPECTUS:

                       FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE PORTFOLIOS

** Through July 31,  1999,  Rochdale  has  undertaken  to waive its fees or make
payments of fund expenses for the Portfolios to assure that the annual ratios of
operating  expenses  to  average  net  assets  will not  exceed  1.75%  for each
Portfolio.  Thereafter,  Rochdale has  undertaken to continue to waive or reduce
its fees or make payments of fund expenses for the Portfolios to assure that the
annual ratios of operating  expenses to average net assets will not exceed 2.50%
for the Rochdale  Magna  Portfolio and 2.75% for the Rochdale  Atlas  Portfolio.
Without  Rochdale's  undertaking,  it is estimated that "Other  Expenses" in the
above table would be 1.75% for the Rochdale  Magna  Portfolio  and 2.00% for the
Rochdale Atlas Portfolio and "Total  Operating  Expenses" would be 3.00% for the
Rochdale  Magna   Portfolio  and  3.25%  for  the  Rochdale   Atlas   Portfolio.
Additionally, Rochdale waived its fees and reimbursed the Portfolios for 100% of
all fund expenses for October,  1998,  and during  November and December,  1998,
waived its fees and reimbursed  each Portfolio to the extent  expenses  exceeded
0.75%. To the extent Rochdale waives fees or pays fund expenses,  the Portfolios
may reimburse  Rochdale  within the following  three years.  See "Management and
Administration."  Each Portfolio has adopted a Distribution  Plan under which it
may pay Rochdale a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the  Portfolio's  net
assets for distribution expenses and services.  Over an extended period of time,
a long-term shareholder may pay more, directly and indirectly,  in sales charges
and such fees than the maximum  sales  charge  permitted  under the rules of the
National  Association of Securities Dealers,  Inc. ("NASD").  This is recognized
and permitted by the NASD. At this time  Rochdale has  determined  that no 12b-1
fee will be assessed for the first year of the Portfolios' operations.
