<FN>
(1) As of the close of business on the Initial Date of Deposit, we may
adjust the number of Units of the Trust so that the Public Offering
Price per Unit will equal approximately $10.00. If we make such an
adjustment, the fractional undivided interest per Unit will vary from
the amount indicated above.

(2) Each listed Security is valued at its last closing sale price. If a
Security is not listed, or if no closing sale price exists, it is valued
at its closing ask price. Evaluations for purposes of determining the
purchase, sale or redemption price of Units are made as of the close of
trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (generally 4:00 p.m.
Eastern time) on each day on which it is open (the "Evaluation Time").

(3) The maximum sales charge consists of an initial sales charge and a
deferred sales charge. See "Fee Table" and "Public Offering."

(4) The Public Offering Price shown above reflects the value of the
Securities on the business day prior to the Initial Date of Deposit. No
investor will purchase Units at this price. Additional Units may be
created during the day of the Initial Date of Deposit which, along with
the Units described above, will be valued as of the Evaluation Time on
the Initial Date of Deposit and sold to investors at the Public Offering
Price per Unit based on this valuation. On the Initial Date of Deposit
the Public Offering Price per Unit will not include any accumulated
dividends on the Securities. After the Initial Date of Deposit, the
Public Offering Price per Unit will include a pro rata share of any
accumulated dividends on the Securities.

(5) Until the earlier of six months after the Initial Date of Deposit or
the end of the initial offering period the Sponsor's Initial Repurchase
Price per Unit and the Redemption Price per Unit will include the
estimated organization costs per Unit set forth under "Fee Table." After
such date, the Sponsor's Repurchase Price and Redemption Price per Unit
will not include such estimated organization costs. See "Redeeming Your
Units."

(6) See "Amending or Terminating the Indenture."

(7) Distributions from the Capital Account will be made monthly on the
last day of the month to Unit holders of record on the fifteenth day of
such month if the amount available for distribution equals at least
$1.00 per 100 Units. In any case, we will distribute any funds in the
Capital Account in December of each year.

Fee Table

This Fee Table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you
buy and hold Units of the Trust. See "Public Offering" and "Expenses and
Charges." Although the Trust has a term of approximately five years and
is a unit investment trust rather than a mutual fund, this information
allows you to compare fees.

<TABLE>

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in
the Trust with the cost of investing in other investment products. The
example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Trust for the periods
shown and sell all your Units at the end of those periods. The example
also assumes a 5% return on your investment each year and that the
Trust's operating expenses stay the same. Although your actual costs may
vary, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 Year 3 Years 5 Years
______ _______ _______
$ $ $

This example will not differ if you hold rather than sell your Units at
the end of each period. The example does not reflect sales charges on
reinvested dividends and other distributions. If these sales charges
were included, your costs would be higher.

________________

<FN>
(a) The amount of the initial sales charge will vary depending on the
purchase price of your Units. The amount of the initial sales charge is
actually the difference between the maximum sales charge (5.0% of the
Public Offering Price) and the maximum remaining deferred sales charge
(initially $.35 per Unit). When the Public Offering Price exceeds $10.00
per Unit, the initial sales charge will exceed 1.00% of the Public
Offering Price per Unit.

(b) The deferred sales charge is a fixed dollar amount equal to $.35 per
Unit, which will be deducted in seven monthly installments of $.05 per
Unit beginning February 18, 2000 and on the 20th day of each month
thereafter (or the preceding business day if the 20th day is not a
business day) through August 18, 2000. If you buy Units at a price of
less than $10.00 per Unit, the dollar amount of the deferred sales
charge will not change but the deferred sales charge on a percentage
basis will be more than 3.5% of the Public Offering Price. If you
purchase Units after the first deferred sales charge payment has been
deducted, your purchase price will include both the initial sales charge
and any remaining deferred sales charge payments.

(c) Reinvested dividends will be subject only to the deferred sales
charge remaining at the time of reinvestment. See "Income and Capital
Distributions."

(d) You will bear all or a portion of the costs incurred in organizing
the Trust. These estimated organization costs are included in the price
you pay for your Units and will be deducted from the assets of the Trust
at the earlier of six months after the Initial Date of Deposit or the
end of the initial offering period.

The Sponsor, Nike Securities L.P., and Unit Holders
FT 360

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets, including the
schedule of investments, of FT 360, comprised of the Fifth Third
Targeted Industries Growth Portfolio, as of the opening of business on
____________, 1999. This statement of net assets is the responsibility
of the Trust's Sponsor. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
this statement of net assets based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement of net assets is
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the statement
of net assets. Our procedures included confirmation of the letter of
credit held by the Trustee and deposited in the Trust on ____________,
1999. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by the Sponsor, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the statement of net assets. We believe that our
audit of the statement of net assets provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the statement of net assets referred to above presents
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of FT 360,
comprised of the Fifth Third Targeted Industries Growth Portfolio, at
the opening of business on ____________, 1999 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

(1) Aggregate cost of the Securities listed under "Schedule of
Investments" is based on their aggregate underlying value.

(2) An irrevocable letter of credit issued by The Chase Manhattan Bank,
of which $200,000 will be allocated to the Trust, has been deposited
with the Trustee as collateral, covering the monies necessary for the
purchase of the Securities according to their purchase contracts.

(3) A portion of the Public Offering Price consists of an amount
sufficient to reimburse the Sponsor for all or a portion of the costs of
establishing the Trust. These costs have been estimated at $ per Unit
for the Trust. A payment will be made as of the earlier of six months
after the Initial Date of Deposit or the end of the initial offering
period to an account maintained by the Trustee from which the obligation
of the investors to the Sponsor will be satisfied. To the extent that
actual organization costs are greater than the estimated amount, only
the estimated organization costs added to the Public Offering Price will
be reimbursed to the Sponsor and deducted from the assets of the Trust.

(4) Represents the amount of mandatory deferred sales charge
distributions from the Trust ($.35 per Unit), payable to us in seven
equal monthly installments beginning on February 18, 2000 and on the
twentieth day of each month thereafter (or if such date is not a
business day, on the preceding business day) through August 18, 2000. If
you redeem Units before August 18, 2000 you will have to pay the
remaining amount of the deferred sales charge applicable to such Units
when you redeem them.

(5) The aggregate cost to investors in the Trust includes a maximum
sales charge (comprised of an initial and a deferred sales charge)
computed at the rate of 5.0% of the Public Offering Price per Unit
(equivalent to 5.076% of the net amount invested, exclusive of the
deferred sales charge), assuming no reduction of sales charge as set
forth under "Public Offering."

The FT Series

The FT Series Defined.

We, Nike Securities L.P. (the "Sponsor"), have created several similar
yet separate series of an investment company which we have named the FT
Series. We designate each of these investment company series, the FT
Series, with a different series number.

YOU MAY GET MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS ON SOME OF THE INFORMATION IN THIS
PROSPECTUS IN AN "INFORMATION SUPPLEMENT" BY CALLING THE TRUSTEE AT 1-
800-682-7520.

What We Call the Trust.

This FT Series consists of a unit investment trust known as Fifth Third
Targeted Industries Growth Portfolio.

Mandatory Termination Date.

The Trust will terminate on the Mandatory Termination Date set forth in
"Summary of Essential Information." The Trust was created under the laws
of the State of New York by a Trust Agreement (the "Indenture") dated
the Initial Date of Deposit. This agreement, entered into between Nike
Securities L.P., as Sponsor, The Chase Manhattan Bank as Trustee and
First Trust Advisors L.P. as Portfolio Supervisor and Evaluator, governs
the operation of the Trust.

How We Created the Trust.

On the Initial Date of Deposit, we deposited the Securities with the
Trustee, and in turn the Trustee delivered documents to us representing
our ownership of the Trust in the form of units ("Units").

With our deposit of Securities on the Initial Date of Deposit we
established a percentage relationship among the Securities in the
Trust's portfolio, as stated under "Schedule of Investments." After the
Initial Date of Deposit, we may deposit additional Securities in the
Trust, or cash (including a letter of credit) with instructions to buy
more Securities, to create new Units for sale. If we create additional
Units, we will attempt, to the extent practicable, to maintain the
original percentage relationship established among the Securities on the
Initial Date of Deposit, and not the actual percentage relationship
existing on the day we are creating Units, since the two may differ.
This difference may be due to the sale, redemption or liquidation of any
of the Securities.

Since the prices of the Securities will fluctuate daily, the ratio of
Securities in the Trust, on a market value basis, will also change
daily. The portion of Securities represented by each Unit will not
change as a result of the deposit of additional Securities or cash in
the Trust. If we deposit cash, you and new investors may experience a
dilution of your investment. This is because prices of Securities will
fluctuate between the time of the cash deposit and the purchase of the
Securities, and because the Trust pays brokerage fees to buy Securities.
To reduce this dilution, the Trust will try to buy the Securities as
close to the Evaluation Time and as close to the evaluation price as
possible.

An affiliate of the Trustee may receive these brokerage fees or the
Trustee may retain and pay us (or an affiliate) to act as agent for the
Trust to buy Securities. If we or an affiliate of ours act as agent to
the Trust, we will be subject to the restrictions under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.

We cannot guarantee that the Trust will keep its present size and
composition for any length of time. Securities may periodically be sold
under certain circumstances, and the proceeds from these sales will be
used to meet Trust obligations or distributed to Unit holders, but will
not be reinvested. However, Securities will not be sold to take
advantage of market fluctuations or changes in anticipated rates of
appreciation or depreciation, or if they no longer meet the criteria by
which they were selected. You will not be able to dispose of or vote any
of the Securities in the Trust. As the holder of the Securities, the
Trustee will vote all of the Securities and will do so based on our
instructions.

Neither we nor the Trustee will be liable for a failure in any of the
Securities. However, if a contract for the purchase of any of the
Securities initially deposited in the Trust fails, unless we can
purchase substitute Securities ("Replacement Securities"), we will
refund to you that portion of the purchase price and sales charge
resulting from the failed contract on the next Income Distribution Date.

Page 9

Any Replacement Security the Trust acquires will be identical to those
from the failed contract.

Portfolio

Objectives.

The Trust's objective is to provide investors with above-average capital
appreciation potential through participation in the three industries
Fifth Third Securities, Inc. (the "Underwriter") believes are most
likely to provide superior returns over the life of the Trust. These
industries are healthcare, technology and financial services. In
choosing stocks for the Trust's portfolio, both large and small
companies from a variety of sub-sectors within each industry have been
selected to give you significant diversification.

Healthcare. Technological advancements in healthcare, both in therapies
and prevention, coupled with an aging and longer living population will,
in the Underwriter's opinion, likely drive global unit demand in the
healthcare industry. New products will rely on gene-based and
biotechnology-driven solutions not available until recently. In the
opinion of the Underwriter, competitive advantage in the important
pharmaceutical industry will increasingly swing to those companies with
established gene therapy efforts and/or alliances, which raise both
competitors' costs of doing business and barriers to entry in this
attractive segment. Additionally, the Underwriter believes that the
healthcare industry is poised for more consolidation through mergers,
acquisitions and partnerships, which will potentially add significant
value to investors.

Technology. In the opinion of the Underwriter, the dynamic growth of
technology will continue to drive the total economy for the foreseeable
future. Indeed, since the 1990-91 recession, growth in high-technology
industries has been four times as large as growth in the U.S. economy as
a whole, according to the Milken Institute. Similarly, the Underwriter
expects spending on software to expand in the future. With the doubling
of Internet traffic approximately every 100 days, the Underwriter
believes unit demand for technology products of every variety should
remain robust. Increased mobility, functionality and affordability,
aided by enhanced wireless capabilities, should aid in driving demand
from both the consumer and corporate buyer.

Financial Services. The financial services industry remains S&P's
highest earning segment, according to Bloomberg Financial. The advent of
e-commerce, on-line banking and brokerage, and the cross-selling of
financial services globally will, in the Underwriter's opinion, provide
a sustainable and favorable set of industry operating fundamentals for
years to come. Additionally, the banking, financial services and
insurance industries continue to experience significant consolidation.

There is, of course, no guarantee that the objective of the Trust will
be achieved. See "Risk Factors" for a discussion of the risks of
investing in the Trust.

Risk Factors

Price Volatility. The Trust invests in common stocks of healthcare,
technology and financial services companies. The value of the Trust's
Units will fluctuate with changes in the value of these common stocks.
Common stock prices fluctuate for several reasons including changes in
investors perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer or the
general condition of the relevant stock market, or when political or
economic events affecting the issuers occur.

Because the Trust is not managed, the Trustee will not sell stocks in
response to or in anticipation of market fluctuations, as is common in
managed investments. As with any investment, we cannot guarantee that
the performance of the Trust will be positive over any period of time or
that you won't lose money. Units of the Trust are not deposits of any
bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation or any other government agency.

Certain of the Securities in the Trust may be issued by companies with
market capitalizations of less than $1 billion. The share prices of
these small-cap companies are often more volatile than those of larger
companies. This is a result of several factors common to many such
issuers, including limited trading volumes, products or financial
resources, management inexperience and less publicly available
information.

Dividends. There is no guarantee that the issuers of the Securities will
declare dividends in the future or that if declared they will either
remain at current levels or increase over time.

Healthcare Industry. The Trust includes companies involved in medical

Page 10

supplies, drugs, biotech, managed care and services management. General
risks of such companies involve extensive competition, generic drug
sales or the loss of patent protection, product liability litigation and
increased government regulation. Research and development costs of
bringing new drugs to market are substantial, and there is no guarantee
that the product will ever come to market. Healthcare facility operators
may be affected by the demand for services, efforts by government or
insurers to limit rates, restriction of government financial assistance
and competition from other providers.

Technology Industry. Technology companies are generally subject to the
risks of rapidly changing technologies; short product life cycles;
fierce competition; aggressive pricing; frequent introduction of new or
enhanced products; the loss of patent, copyright and trademark
protections; and government regulation. Technology companies may be
smaller and less experienced companies, with limited product lines,
markets or financial resources. Technology company stocks have
experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that are often
unrelated to their operating performance.

Financial Services Industry. Banks, thrifts and their holding companies
are especially subject to the adverse effects of economic recession;
volatile interest rates; portfolio concentrations in geographic markets
and in commercial and residential real estate loans; and competition
from new entrants in their fields of business. In addition, banks,
thrifts and their holding companies are extensively regulated at both
the federal and state level and may be adversely affected by increased
regulations.

Banks and thrifts will face increased competition from nontraditional
lending sources as regulatory changes permit new entrants to offer
various financial products. Technological advances such as the Internet
allow these nontraditional lending sources to cut overhead and permit
the more efficient use of customer data.

Brokerage firms, broker/dealers, investment banks, finance companies and
mutual fund companies are also financial services providers. These
companies compete with banks and thrifts to provide traditional
financial service products, in addition to their traditional services,
such as brokerage and investment advice. In addition, all financial
service companies face shrinking profit margins due to new competitors,
the cost of new technology and the pressure to compete globally.

Companies involved in the insurance industry are engaged in
underwriting, selling, distributing or placing of property and casualty,
life or health insurance. Insurance company profits are affected by many
factors, including interest rate movements, the imposition of premium
rate caps, competition and pressure to compete globally. Property and
casualty insurance profits may also be affected by weather catastrophes
and other disasters. Life and health insurance profits may be affected
by mortality rates. Already extensively regulated, insurance companies'
profits may also be adversely affected by increased government
regulations or tax law changes.

Legislation/Litigation. From time to time, various legislative
initiatives are proposed in the United States which may have a negative
impact on companies represented in the Trust. In addition, litigation
regarding any of the issuers of the Securities, such as that concerning
Microsoft Corporation, may negatively impact the share prices of these
Securities. We cannot predict what impact any pending or proposed
legislation or pending or threatened litigation will have on the share
prices of the Securities.

Year 2000 Problem. Many computer systems were not designed to properly
process information and data involving dates of January 1, 2000 and
thereafter. This is commonly known as the "Year 2000 Problem." We do not
expect that any of the computer system changes necessary to prepare for
January 1, 2000 will cause any major operational difficulties for the
Trust. However, we are unable to predict what impact the Year 2000
Problem will have on any of the issuers of the Securities.

Underwriter's Recommendations. While the Underwriter has carefully
evaluated and approved the Securities in the Trust for this purpose,
they may choose for any reason not to recommend any or all of the
Securities for another purpose or at a later date. This may affect the
value of your Units. In addition, the Underwriter in its general
securities business acts as agent or principal in connection with buying
and selling stocks, including the Securities, and may have bought the
Securities for the Trust, thereby benefiting. The Underwriter also acts
as a market maker, underwrites certain issues, and provides investment
banking services to companies, which has included the issuers of certain
of the Securities.

Page 11

Foreign Stocks. Certain of the Securities in the Trust are issued by
foreign companies, which makes the Trust subject to more risks than if
they invested solely in domestic common stocks. These Securities are
either directly listed on a U.S. securities exchange or are in the form
of American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") which are listed on a U.S.
securities exchange. Risks of foreign common stocks include losses due
to future political and economic developments, foreign currency
devaluations, restrictions on foreign investments and exchange of
securities, inadequate financial information and lack of liquidity of
certain foreign markets.

We have obtained the foregoing descriptions from sources we deem
reliable. We have not independently verified the provided information
either in terms of accuracy or completeness.

Public Offering

The Public Offering Price.

You may buy Units at the Public Offering Price, the per Unit price of
which is comprised of the following:

- - The aggregate underlying value of the Securities;

- - The amount of any cash in the Income and Capital Accounts;

- - Dividends receivable on Securities; and

- - The total sales charge (which combines an initial up-front sales
charge and a deferred sales charge).

Page 12

The price you pay for your Units will differ from the amount stated
under "Summary of Essential Information" due to various factors,
including fluctuations in the prices of the Securities and changes in
the value of the Income and/or Capital Accounts.

Securities purchased with the portion of the Public Offering Price
intended to be used to reimburse the Sponsor for the Trust's
organization costs (including costs of preparing the registration
statement, the Indenture and other closing documents, registering Units
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and states, the
initial audit of the Trust portfolio, legal fees and the initial fees
and expenses of the Trustee) will be purchased in the same proportionate
relationship as all the Securities contained in the Trust. Securities
will be sold to reimburse the Sponsor for the Trust's organization costs
at the earlier of six months after the Initial Date of Deposit or the
end of the initial offering period (a significantly shorter time period
than the life of the Trust). During the period ending with the earlier
of six months after the Initial Date of Deposit or the end of the
initial offering period, there may be a decrease in the value of the
Securities. To the extent the proceeds from the sale of these Securities
are insufficient to repay the Sponsor for the Trust organization costs,
the Trustee will sell additional Securities to allow the Trust to fully
reimburse the Sponsor. In that event, the net asset value per Unit will
be reduced by the amount of additional Securities sold. Although the
dollar amount of the reimbursement due to the Sponsor will remain fixed
and will never exceed the per Unit amount set forth for the Trust in
"Statement of Net Assets," this will result in a greater effective cost
per Unit to Unit holders for the reimbursement to the Sponsor. To the
extent actual organization costs are less than the estimated amount,
only the actual organization costs will be deducted from the assets of
the Trust. When Securities are sold to reimburse the Sponsor for
organization costs, the Trustee will sell such Securities, to the extent
practicable, which will maintain the same proportionate relationship
among the Securities contained in the Trust as existed prior to such sale.

Although you are not required to pay for your Units until three business
days following your order (the "date of settlement"), you may pay before
then. You will become the owner of Units ("Record Owner") on the date of
settlement if payment has been received. If you pay for your Units
before the date of settlement, we may use your payment during this time
and it may be considered a benefit to us, subject to the limitations of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Minimum Purchase.

The minimum amount you can purchase of the Trust is $1,000 worth of
Units ($250 if you are purchasing Units for your Individual Retirement
Account or any other qualified retirement plan).

Sales Charges.

The sales charge you will pay has both an initial and a deferred
component. The initial sales charge, which you will pay at the time of
purchase, is initially equal to approximately 1% of the Public Offering
Price of a Unit. This initial sales charge is actually equal to the
difference between the maximum sales charge of 5.0% of the Public
Offering Price and the maximum remaining deferred sales charge
(initially $.35 per Unit). The initial sales charge will vary from 1%
with changes in the aggregate underlying value of the Securities,
changes in the Income and Capital Accounts and as deferred sales charge
payments are made. In addition, seven monthly deferred sales charge
payments of $.05 per Unit will be deducted from the Trust's assets on
approximately the twentieth day of each month from February 18, 2000
through August 18, 2000. The maximum sales charge assessed during the
initial offering period will be 5.0% of the Public Offering Price per
Unit (equivalent to 5.076% of the net amount invested, exclusive of the
deferred sales charge).

After the initial offering period, if you purchase Units after the last
deferred sales charge payment has been assessed, your sales charge will
consist of a one-time initial sales charge of 5.0% of the Public
Offering Price (equivalent to 5.263% of the net amount invested), which
will be reduced by 1/2 of 1% on each subsequent September 30, commencing
September 30, 2000, to a minimum sales charge of 3.0%.

Discounts for Certain Persons.

If you invest at least $50,000 (except if you are eligible to purchase
Units at the Public Offering Price less the applicable dealer
concession, as described below), the maximum sales charge is reduced, as
follows:

Page 13

Your maximum
If you invest sales charge
(in thousands):* will be:
________________ ____________
$ 50 but less than $100 4.75%
$100 but less than $250 4.50%
$250 but less than $500 4.00%
$500 or more 3.00%

* Breakpoint sales charges are also applied on a Unit basis utilizing a
breakpoint equivalent in the above table of $10 per Unit and will be
applied on whichever basis is more favorable to the investor. The
breakpoints will be adjusted to take into consideration purchase orders
stated in dollars which cannot be completely fulfilled due to the
requirement that only whole Units be issued.

The reduced sales charge for quantity purchases will apply only to
purchases made by the same person on any one day from the Underwriter or
any one dealer. We will consider Units you purchase in the name of your
spouse or your child under 21 years of age to be purchases by you for
determining the reduced sales charge. You must inform the Underwriter or
your dealer of any combined purchases before the sale in order to be
eligible for the reduced sales charge. Any reduced sales charge is the
responsibility of the Underwriter, broker/dealer or other selling agent
making the sale.

The following persons may purchase Units at the Public Offering Price
less the applicable dealer concession:

- - Employees, officers and directors of the Sponsor, our related
companies, the Underwriter, dealers and their affiliates, and vendors
providing services to us.

- - Immediate family members of the above (spouses, children,
grandchildren, parents, grandparents, siblings, mothers-in-law, fathers-
in-law, sons-in-law and daughters-in-law, and trustees, custodians or
fiduciaries for the benefit of such persons).

- - Trust clients of the Underwriter.

You will be charged the deferred sales charge per Unit regardless of any
discounts. However, if you are eligible to receive a discount such that
the maximum sales charge you must pay is less than the applicable
maximum deferred sales charge, you will be credited the difference
between your maximum sales charge and the maximum deferred sales charge
at the time you buy your Units.

The Value of the Securities.

The Evaluator will appraise the aggregate underlying value of the
Securities in the Trust as of the Evaluation Time on each business day
and will adjust the Public Offering Price of the Units according to this
valuation. This Public Offering Price will be effective for all orders
received before the Evaluation Time on each such day. If we or the
Trustee receive orders for purchases, sales or redemptions after that
time, or on a day which is not a business day, they will be held until
the next determination of price. The term "business day" as used in this
prospectus will exclude Saturdays, Sundays and holidays on which the
NYSE is closed.

The aggregate underlying value of the Securities in the Trust will be
determined as follows: if the Securities are listed on a securities
exchange or The Nasdaq Stock Market, their value is generally based on
the closing sale prices on that exchange or system (unless it is
determined that these prices are not appropriate as a basis for
evaluation). However, if there is no closing sale price on that exchange
or system, they are valued based on the closing ask prices. If the
Securities are not so listed, or, if so listed and the principal market
for them is other than on that exchange or system, the evaluation will
generally be based on the current ask prices on the over-the-counter
market (unless it is determined that these prices are not appropriate as
a basis for evaluation). If current ask prices are unavailable, the
evaluation is generally determined:

a) On the basis of current ask prices for comparable securities;

b) By appraising the value of the Securities on the ask side of the
market; or

c) By any combination of the above.

After the initial offering period is over, the aggregate underlying
value of the Securities will be determined as set forth above, except
that bid prices are used instead of ask prices when necessary.

Distribution of Units

We intend to qualify Units of the Trust for sale in a number of states.
All Units will be sold at the then current Public Offering Price.

Page 14

Dealer Concessions.

Dealers and other selling agents can purchase Units at prices which
reflect a concession or agency commission of 3.5% of the Public Offering
Price per Unit (or 65% of the maximum sales charge after September 30,
2000).

We reserve the right to change the amount of concessions or agency
commissions from time to time. Certain commercial banks may be making
Units of the Trust available to their customers on an agency basis. A
portion of the sales charge paid by these customers is kept by or given
to the banks in the amounts shown above.

Award Programs.

From time to time we may sponsor programs which provide awards to the
Underwriter's or a dealer's registered representatives who have sold a
minimum number of Units during a specified time period. We may also pay
fees to the Underwriter or qualifying dealers for services or activities
which are meant to result in sales of Units of the Trust. In addition,
we will pay to the Underwriter or dealers who sponsor sales contests or
recognition programs that conform to criteria we establish, or
participate in sales programs we sponsor, amounts equal to no more than
the total applicable sales charges on the unit sales generated by such
persons during such programs. We make these payments out of our own
assets and not out of Trust assets. These programs will not change the
price you pay for your Units.

Investment Comparisons.

From time to time we may compare the estimated returns of the Trust
(which may show performance net of the expenses and charges the Trust
would have incurred) and returns over specified periods of other similar
trusts we sponsor in our advertising and sales materials, with (1)
returns on other taxable investments such as the common stocks
comprising various market indexes, corporate or U.S. Government bonds,
bank CDs and money market accounts or funds, (2) performance data from
Morningstar Publications, Inc. or (3) information from publications such
as Money, The New York Times, U.S. News and World Report, Business Week,
Forbes or Fortune. The investment characteristics of the Trust differ
from other comparative investments. You should not assume that these
performance comparisons will be representative of the Trust's future
performance.

The Sponsor's and Underwriter's Profits

The Underwriter will receive a gross sales commission on each Unit they
sell equal to the maximum sales charge per Unit of the Trust less any
reduced sales charge as stated in "Public Offering." We will receive
from the Underwriter the difference between the gross sales commission
and the Underwriter concession as a percentage of the Public Offering
Price per Unit set forth in the following table based on the number of
Units sold:

Total Sales Underwriter
(in millions): Concession:
________________ ___________
Less than $10 3.8%
$10 but less than $20 3.9%
$20 but less than $30 4.0%
$30 or more 4.1%

Any difference between our cost to purchase the Securities and the price
at which we sell them to the Trust is considered a profit or loss (see
Note 2 of "Schedule of Investments"). During the initial offering
period, the Underwriter may also realize profits or sustain losses as a
result of fluctuations in the Public Offering Price they receive when
they sell the Units.

In maintaining a market for Units, any difference between the price at
which we purchase Units and the price at which we sell or redeem them
will be a profit or loss to us.

The Secondary Market

Although not obligated, we intend to maintain a market for the Units
after the initial offering period and continuously offer to purchase
Units at prices based on the Redemption Price per Unit.

We will pay all expenses to maintain a secondary market, except the
Evaluator fees and Trustee costs to transfer and record the ownership of
Units. We may discontinue purchases of Units at any time. IF YOU WISH TO
DISPOSE OF YOUR UNITS, YOU SHOULD ASK US FOR THE CURRENT MARKET PRICES
BEFORE MAKING A TENDER FOR REDEMPTION TO THE TRUSTEE. If you sell or

Page 15

redeem your Units before you have paid the total deferred sales charge
on your Units, you will have to pay the remainder at that time.

How We Purchase Units

The Trustee will notify us of any tender of Units for redemption. If our
bid is equal to or greater than the Redemption Price per Unit, we may
purchase the Units. You will receive your proceeds from the sale no
later than if they were redeemed by the Trustee. We may tender Units we
hold to the Trustee for redemption as any other Units. If we elect not
to purchase Units, the Trustee may sell tendered Units in the over-the-
counter market, if any. However, the amount you will receive is the same
as you would have received on redemption of the Units.

Expenses and Charges

The estimated annual expenses of the Trust are listed under "Fee Table."
If actual expenses exceed the estimate, the Trust will bear the excess.
The Trustee will pay operating expenses of the Trust from the Income
Account of the Trust if funds are available, and then from the Capital
Account. The Income and Capital Accounts are noninterest-bearing to Unit
holders, so the Trustee may earn interest on these funds, thus
benefiting from their use.

As Sponsor, we will be compensated for providing bookkeeping and other
administrative services to the Trust, and will receive brokerage fees
when the Trust uses us (or an affiliate of ours) as agent in buying or
selling Securities. First Trust Advisors L.P., an affiliate of ours,
acts as both Portfolio Supervisor and Evaluator to the Trust and will
receive the fees set forth under "Fee Table" for providing portfolio
supervisory and evaluation services to the Trust. In providing portfolio
supervisory services, the Portfolio Supervisor will purchase research
services from the Underwriter's research department for a fee not to
exceed $ per Unit sold.

The fees payable to us, First Trust Advisors L.P. and the Trustee are
based on the largest aggregate number of Units of the Trust outstanding
at any time during the calendar year, except during the initial offering
period, in which case these fees are calculated based on the largest
number of Units outstanding during the period for which compensation is
paid. These fees may be adjusted for inflation without Unit holders'
approval, but in no case will the annual fees paid to us or our
affiliates for providing a given service to all unit investment trusts
for which we provide such services be more than the actual cost of
providing such service in such year.

In addition to the Trust's operating expenses, and the fees described
above, the Trust may also incur the following charges:

- - All legal and annual auditing expenses of the Trustee according to
its responsibilities under the Indenture;

- - The expenses and costs incurred by the Trustee to protect the Trust
and your rights and interests;

- - Fees for any extraordinary services the Trustee performed under the
Indenture;

- - Payment for any loss, liability or expense the Trustee incurred
without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, in
connection with its acceptance or administration of the Trust;

- - Payment for any loss, liability or expenses we incurred without
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in acting as Depositor of
the Trust; and/or

- - All taxes and other government charges imposed upon the Securities or
any part of the Trust.

The above expenses and the Trustee's annual fee are secured by a lien on
the Trust. Since the Securities are all common stocks and dividend
income is unpredictable, we cannot guarantee that dividends will be
sufficient to meet any or all expenses of the Trust. If there is not
enough cash in the Income or Capital Account, the Trustee has the power
to sell Securities to make cash available to pay these charges which may
result in capital gains or losses to you. See "Tax Status."

The Trust will be audited annually. So long as we are making a secondary
market for Units, we will bear the cost of these annual audits to the
extent the cost exceeds $0.0050 per Unit. Otherwise, the Trust will pay
for the audit. You can request a copy of the audited financial
statements from the Trustee.

Page 16

Tax Status

This section summarizes some of the main U.S. federal income tax
consequences of owning Units of the Trust. This section is current as of
the date of this prospectus. Tax laws and interpretations change
frequently, and these summaries do not describe all of the tax
consequences to all taxpayers. For example, these summaries generally do
not describe your situation if you are a non-U.S. person, a
broker/dealer, or other investor with special circumstances. In
addition, this section does not describe your state or foreign taxes. As
with any investment, you should consult your own tax professional about
your particular consequences.

Trust Status.

The Trust will not be taxed as a corporation for federal income tax
purposes. As a Unit owner, you will be treated as the owner of a pro
rata portion of the Securities and other assets held by the Trust, and
as such you will be considered to have received a pro rata share of
income (i.e., dividends and capital gains, if any) from each Security
when such income is considered to be received by the Trust. This is true
even if you elect to have your distributions automatically reinvested
into additional Units. In addition, the income from the Trust which you
must take into account for federal income tax purposes is not reduced by
amounts used to pay the deferred sales charge.

Your Tax Basis and Income or Loss upon Disposition.

If your Trust disposes of Securities, you will generally recognize gain
or loss. If you dispose of your Units or redeem your Units for cash, you
will also generally recognize gain or loss. To determine the amount of
this gain or loss, you must subtract your tax basis in the related
Securities from your share of the total proceeds received in the
transaction. You can generally determine your initial tax basis in each
Security or other Trust asset by apportioning the cost of your Units,
generally including sales charges, among each Security or other Trust
asset ratably according to their value on the date you purchase your
Units. In certain circumstances, however, you may have to adjust your
tax basis after you purchase your Units (for example, in the case of
certain dividends that exceed a corporation's accumulated earnings and
profits).

If you are an individual, the maximum marginal federal tax rate for net
capital gain is generally 20% (10% for certain taxpayers in the lowest
tax bracket). Net capital gain equals net long-term capital gain minus
net short-term capital loss for the taxable year. Capital gain or loss
is long-term if the holding period for the asset is more than one year
and is short-term if the holding period for the asset is one year or
less. You must exclude the date you purchase your Units to determine the
holding period of your Units. The tax rates for capital gains realized
from assets held for one year or less are generally the same as for
ordinary income. The tax code may, however, treat certain capital gains
as ordinary income in special situations.

In-Kind Distributions.

Under certain circumstances, you may request an In-Kind Distribution of
Securities when you redeem your Units or at the Trust's termination. If
you request an In-Kind Distribution you will be responsible for any
expenses related to this distribution. By electing to receive an In-Kind
Distribution, you will receive an undivided interest in whole shares of
stock plus, possibly, cash.

You will not recognize gain or loss if you only receive Securities in
exchange for your pro rata portion of the Securities held by the Trust.
However, if you also receive cash in exchange for a fractional share of
a Security held by the Trust, you will generally recognize gain or loss
based on the difference between the amount of cash you receive and your
tax basis in such fractional share of the Security.

Limitations on the Deductibility of Trust Expenses.

Generally, for federal income tax purposes, you must take into account
your full pro rata share of the Trust's income, even if some of that
income is used to pay Trust expenses. You may deduct your pro rata share
of each expense paid by the Trust to the same extent as if you directly
paid the expense. You may, however, be required to treat some or all of
the expenses of the Trust as miscellaneous itemized deductions.
Individuals may only deduct certain miscellaneous itemized deductions to
the extent they exceed 2% of adjusted gross income.

Foreign, State and Local Taxes.

Under the existing income tax laws of the State and City of New York,
the Trust will not be taxed as a corporation, and the income of the

Page 17

Trust will be treated as the income of the Unit holders in the same
manner as for federal income tax purposes. You should consult your tax
advisor regarding potential foreign, state or local taxation with
respect to your Units.

Retirement Plans

You may purchase Units of the Trust for:

- - Individual Retirement Accounts;
- - Keogh Plans;
- - Pension funds; and
- - Other tax-deferred retirement plans.

Generally, the federal income tax on capital gains and income received
in each of the above plans is deferred until you receive distributions.
These distributions are generally treated as ordinary income but may, in
some cases, be eligible for special averaging or tax-deferred rollover
treatment. Before participating in a plan like this, you should review
the tax laws regarding these plans and consult your attorney or tax
advisor. Brokerage firms and other financial institutions offer these
plans with varying fees and charges.

Rights of Unit Holders

Unit Ownership.

The Trustee will treat as Record Owner of Units persons registered as
such on its books. It is your responsibility to notify the Trustee when
you become Record Owner, but normally your broker/dealer provides this
notice. You may elect to hold your Units in either certificated or
uncertificated form.

Certificated Units. When you purchase your Units you can request that
they be evidenced by certificates, which will be delivered shortly after
your order. Certificates will be issued in fully registered form,
transferable only on the books of the Trustee in denominations of one
Unit or any multiple thereof. You can transfer or redeem your
certificated Units by endorsing and surrendering the certificate to the
Trustee, along with a written instrument of transfer. You must sign your
name exactly as it appears on the face of the certificate with your
signature guaranteed by an eligible institution. In certain cases the
Trustee may require additional documentation before they will transfer
or redeem your Units.

You may be required to pay a nominal fee to the Trustee for each
certificate reissued or transferred, and to pay any government charge
that may be imposed for each transfer or exchange. If a certificate gets
lost, stolen or destroyed, you may be required to furnish indemnity to
the Trustee to receive replacement certificates. You must surrender
mutilated certificates to the Trustee for replacement.

Uncertificated Units. You may also choose to hold your Units in
uncertificated form. If you choose this option, the Trustee will
establish an account for you and credit your account with the number of
Units you purchase. Within two business days of the issuance or transfer
of Units held in uncertificated form, the Trustee will send you:

- - A written initial transaction statement containing a description of
your Trust;

- - The number of Units issued or transferred;

- - Your name, address and Taxpayer Identification Number ("TIN");

- - A notation of any liens or restrictions of the issuer and any adverse
claims; and

- - The date the transfer was registered.

Uncertificated Units may be transferred the same way as certificated
Units, except that no certificate needs to be presented to the Trustee.
Also, no certificate will be issued when the transfer takes place unless
you request it. You may at any time request that the Trustee issue
certificates for your Units.

Unit Holder Reports.

In connection with each distribution, the Trustee will provide you with
a statement detailing the per Unit amount of income (if any)
distributed. After the end of each calendar year, the Trustee will
provide you with the following information:

- - A summary of transactions in the Trust for the year;

- - Any Securities sold during the year and the Securities held at the
end of that year by the Trust;

- - The Redemption Price per Unit, computed on the 31st day of December
of such year (or the last business day before); and

- - Amounts of income and capital distributed during the year.

You may request from the Trustee copies of the evaluations of the

Page 18

Securities as prepared by the Evaluator to enable you to comply with
federal and state tax reporting requirements.

Income and Capital Distributions

You will begin receiving distributions on your Units only after you
become a Record Owner. The Trustee will credit dividends received on the
Trust's Securities to the Income Account of the Trust. All other
receipts, such as return of capital, are credited to the Capital Account
of the Trust.

The Trustee will distribute any net income in the Income Account on or
near the Income Distribution Dates to Unit holders of record on the
preceding Income Distribution Record Date. See "Summary of Essential
Information." Distribution amounts will vary with changes in the Trust's
fees and expenses, in dividends received and with the sale of
Securities. The Trustee will distribute amounts in the Capital Account,
net of amounts designated to meet redemptions, pay the deferred sales
charge or pay expenses, on the last day of each month to Unit holders of
record on the fifteenth day of each month provided the amount equals at
least $1.00 per 100 Units. If the Trustee does not have your TIN it is
required to withhold a certain percentage of your distribution and
deliver such amount to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). You may
recover this amount by giving your TIN to the Trustee, or when you file
a tax return. However, you should check your statements to make sure the
Trustee has your TIN to avoid this "back-up withholding."

We anticipate that there will be enough money in the Capital Account to
pay the deferred sales charge. If not, the Trustee may sell Securities
to meet the shortfall.

Within a reasonable time after the Trust is terminated, you will receive
a pro rata share of the money from the sale of the Securities. However,
if you are eligible, you may elect to receive a distribution of shares
of Securities (an "In-Kind Distribution") as described under "Amending
or Terminating the Indenture." All Unit holders will receive a pro rata
share of any other assets remaining in the Trust, after deducting any
unpaid expenses.

The Trustee may establish reserves (the "Reserve Account") within the
Trust to cover anticipated state and local taxes or any governmental
charges to be paid out of the Trust.

Distribution Reinvestment Option. You may elect to have each
distribution of income and/or capital reinvested into additional Units
of the Trust by notifying the Trustee at least 10 days before any Record
Date. Each later distribution of income and/or capital on your Units
will be reinvested by the Trustee into additional Units of the Trust.
You will have to pay any remaining deferred sales charge on any Units
acquired pursuant to this distribution reinvestment option. This option
may not be available in all states. PLEASE NOTE THAT EVEN IF YOU
REINVEST DISTRIBUTIONS, THEY ARE STILL CONSIDERED DISTRIBUTIONS FOR
INCOME TAX PURPOSES.

Redeeming Your Units

You may redeem all or a portion of your Units at any time by sending the
certificates representing the Units you want to redeem to the Trustee at
its unit investment trust office. If your Units are uncertificated, you
need only to deliver a request for redemption to the Trustee. In either
case, the certificates or the redemption request must be properly
endorsed with proper instruments of transfer and signature guarantees as
explained in "Rights of Unit Holders-Unit Ownership" (or by providing
satisfactory indemnity if the certificates were lost, stolen, or
destroyed). No redemption fee will be charged, but you are responsible
for any governmental charges that apply. Three business days after the
day you tender your Units (the "Date of Tender") you will receive cash
in an amount for each Unit equal to the Redemption Price per Unit
calculated at the Evaluation Time on the Date of Tender.

The Date of Tender is considered to be the date on which the Trustee
receives your certificates or redemption request (if such day is a day
the NYSE is open for trading). However, if your certificates or
redemption request are received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (or after
any earlier closing time on a day on which the NYSE is scheduled in
advance to close at such earlier time), the Date of Tender is the next
day the NYSE is open for trading.

Any amounts paid on redemption representing income will be withdrawn
from the Income Account of the Trust if funds are available for that
purpose, or from the Capital Account. All other amounts paid on

Page 19

redemption will be taken from the Capital Account of the Trust. The IRS
will require the Trustee to withhold a portion of your redemption
proceeds if the Trustee does not have your TIN, as generally discussed
under "Income and Capital Distributions."

If you tender 2,500 Units or more for redemption, rather than receiving
cash you may elect to receive an In-Kind Distribution in an amount equal
to the Redemption Price per Unit by making this request in writing to
the Trustee at the time of tender. However, no In-Kind Distribution
requests submitted during the nine business days prior to the Trust's
Mandatory Termination Date will be honored. Where possible, the Trustee
will make an In-Kind Distribution by distributing each of the Securities
in book-entry form to your bank or broker/dealer account at the
Depository Trust Company. The Trustee will subtract any customary
transfer and registration charges from your In-Kind Distribution. As a
tendering Unit holder, you will receive your pro rata number of whole
shares of the Securities that make up the portfolio, and cash from the
Capital Account equal to the fractional shares to which you are entitled.

The Trustee may sell Securities to make funds available for redemption.
If Securities are sold, the size and diversification of the Trust will
be reduced. These sales may result in lower prices than if the
Securities were sold at a different time.

Your right to redeem Units (and therefore, your right to receive
payment) may be delayed:

- - If the NYSE is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday
closings);

- - If the SEC determines that trading on the NYSE is restricted or that
an emergency exists making sale or evaluation of the Securities not
reasonably practical; or

- - For any other period permitted by SEC order.

The Trustee is not liable to any person for any loss or damage which may
result from such a suspension or postponement.

The Redemption Price.

The Redemption Price per Unit is determined by the Trustee by:

adding

1. cash in the Income and Capital Accounts not designated to purchase
Securities;

2. the aggregate underlying value of the Securities held in the Trust; and

3. dividends receivable on the Securities trading ex-dividend as of the
date of computation; and

deducting

1. any applicable taxes or governmental charges that need to be paid out
of the Trust;

2. any amounts owed to the Trustee for its advances;

3. estimated accrued expenses of the Trust, if any;

4. cash held for distribution to Unit holders of record of the Trust as
of the business day before the evaluation being made; and

5. other liabilities incurred by the Trust; and

dividing

1. the result by the number of outstanding Units of the Trust.

Any remaining deferred sales charge on the Units when you redeem them
will be deducted from your redemption proceeds. In addition, until the
earlier of six months after the Initial Date of Deposit or the end of
the initial offering period, the Redemption Price per Unit will include
estimated organization costs as set forth under "Fee Table."

Removing Securities from the Trust

The portfolio of the Trust is not managed. However, we may, but are not
required to, direct the Trustee to dispose of a Security in certain
limited circumstances, including situations in which:

- - The issuer of the Security defaults in the payment of a declared
dividend;

- - Any action or proceeding prevents the payment of dividends;

- - There is any legal question or impediment affecting the Security;

- - The issuer of the Security has breached a covenant which would affect
the payment of dividends, the issuer's credit standing, or otherwise
damage the sound investment character of the Security;

- - The issuer has defaulted on the payment of any other of its
outstanding obligations; or

- - The price of the Security has declined to such an extent, or such
other credit factors exist, that in our opinion keeping the Security
would be harmful to the Trust.

Except in the limited instance in which the Trust acquires Replacement
Securities, as described in "The FT Series," the Trust may not acquire

Page 20

any securities or other property other than the Securities. The Trustee,
on behalf of the Trust, will reject any offer for new or exchanged
securities or property in exchange for a Security, such as those
acquired in a merger or other transaction. If such exchanged securities
or property are nevertheless acquired by the Trust, at our instruction,
they will either be sold or held in the Trust. In making the
determination as to whether to sell or hold the exchanged securities or
property we may get advice from the Portfolio Supervisor. Any proceeds
received from the sale of Securities, exchanged securities or property
will be credited to the Capital Account of the Trust for distributions
to Unit holders or to meet redemption requests. The Trustee may retain
and pay us or an affiliate of ours to act as agent for the Trust to
facilitate selling Securities, exchanged securities or property from the
Trust. If we or our affiliate act in this capacity, we will be held
subject to the restrictions under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.

The Trustee may sell Securities designated by us or, absent our
direction, at its own discretion, in order to meet redemption requests
or pay expenses. In designating Securities to be sold, we will try to
maintain the proportionate relationship among the Securities. If this is
not possible, the composition and diversification of the Securities in
the Trust may be changed. To get the best price for the Trust we may
specify minimum amounts (generally 100 shares) in which blocks of
Securities are to be sold. We may consider sales of units of unit
investment trusts which we sponsor when we make recommendations to the
Trustee as to which broker/dealers they select to execute the Trust's
portfolio transactions, or when acting as agent for the Trust in
acquiring or selling Securities on behalf of the Trust.

Amending or Terminating the Indenture

Amendments. The Indenture may be amended by us and the Trustee without
your consent:

- - To cure ambiguities;

- - To correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision;

- - To make any amendment required by any governmental agency; or

- - To make other changes determined not to be materially adverse to your
best interests (as determined by us and the Trustee).

Termination. As provided by the Indenture, the Trust will terminate on
the Mandatory Termination Date. The Trust may be terminated prior to the
Mandatory Termination Date:

- - Upon the consent of 100% of the Unit holders;

- - If the value of the Securities owned by the Trust as shown by any
evaluation is less than the lower of $2,000,000 or 20% of the total
value of Securities deposited in the Trust during the initial offering
period ("Discretionary Liquidation Amount); or

- - In the event that Units of the Trust not yet sold aggregating more
than 60% of the Units of such Trust are tendered for redemption by
underwriters, including the Sponsor.

Prior to termination the Trustee will send written notice to all Unit
holders which will specify how you should tender your certificates, if
any, to the Trustee. If the Trust is terminated due to this last reason,
we will refund your entire sales charge; however, termination of the
Trust before the Mandatory Termination Date for any other stated reason
will result in all remaining unpaid deferred sales charges on your Units
being deducted from your termination proceeds. For various reasons, the
Trust may be reduced below the Discretionary Liquidation Amount and
could therefore be terminated before the Mandatory Termination Date.

Unless terminated earlier, the Trustee will begin to sell Securities in
connection with the termination of the Trust during the period beginning
nine business days prior to, and no later than, the Mandatory
Termination Date. We will determine the manner and timing of the sale of
Securities. Because the Trustee must sell the Securities within a
relatively short period of time, the sale of Securities as part of the
termination process may result in a lower sales price than might
otherwise be realized if such sale were not required at this time.

If you own at least 2,500 Units of the Trust the Trustee will send you a
form at least 30 days prior to the Mandatory Termination Date which will
enable you to receive an In-Kind Distribution of Securities (reduced by
customary transfer and registration charges) rather than the typical
cash distribution. You must notify the Trustee at least ten business
days prior to the Mandatory Termination Date if you elect this In-Kind

Page 21

Distribution option. If you do not elect to participate in the In-Kind
Distribution option you will receive a cash distribution from the sale
of the remaining Securities, along with your interest in the Income and
Capital Accounts of the Trust, within a reasonable time after the Trust
is terminated. Regardless of the distribution involved, the Trustee will
deduct from the Trust any accrued costs, expenses, advances or
indemnities provided for by the Indenture, including estimated
compensation of the Trustee and costs of liquidation and any amounts
required as a reserve to pay any taxes or other governmental charges.

Risk Factors

Securities. An investment in Units should be made with an understanding
of the risks which an investment in common stocks entails, including the
risk that the financial condition of the issuers of the Securities or
the general condition of the relevant stock market may worsen, and the
value of the Securities and therefore the value of the Units may
decline. Common stocks are especially susceptible to general stock
market movements and to volatile increases and decreases of value, as
market confidence in and perceptions of the issuers change. These
perceptions are based on unpredictable factors, including expectations
regarding government, economic, monetary and fiscal policies, inflation
and interest rates, economic expansion or contraction, and global or
regional political, economic or banking crises. Both U.S. and foreign
markets have experienced substantial volatility and significant declines
recently as a result of certain or all of these factors.

Dividends. Shareholders of common stocks have rights to receive payments
from the issuers of those common stocks that are generally subordinate
to those of creditors of, or holders of debt obligations or preferred
stocks of, such issuers. Common stocks do not represent an obligation of
the issuer and, therefore, do not offer any assurance of income or
provide the same degree of protection of capital as do debt securities.
The issuance of additional debt securities or preferred stock will
create prior claims for payment of principal, interest and dividends
which could adversely affect the ability and inclination of the issuer
to declare or pay dividends on its common stock or the rights of holders
of common stock with respect to assets of the issuer upon liquidation or
bankruptcy.

Litigation

Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft Corporation is currently engaged in
litigation with Sun Microsystems, Inc., the U.S. Department of Justice,
several state Attorneys General and Caldera, Inc. The complaints against
Microsoft include copyright infringement, unfair competition and anti-
trust violations. The claims seek injunctive relief and monetary
damages. As of December 31, 1998, Microsoft's management asserted that
resolving these matters will not have a material adverse impact on its
financial position or its results of operation.

Concentrations

Healthcare. An investment in Units of the Trust should be made with an
understanding of the problems and risks inherent in the healthcare sector.

Companies involved in advanced medical devices and instruments, drugs
and biotech have potential risks unique to their sector of the
healthcare field. These companies are subject to governmental regulation
of their products and services, a factor which could have a significant
and possibly unfavorable effect on the price and availability of such

Page 1

products or services. Furthermore, such companies face the risk of
increasing competition from new products or services, generic drug
sales, the termination of patent protection for drug or medical supply
products and the risk that technological advances will render their
products obsolete. The research and development costs of bringing a drug
to market are substantial, and include lengthy governmental review
processes with no guarantee that the product will ever come to market.
Many of these companies may have losses and may not offer certain
products for several years. Such companies may also have persistent
losses during a new product's transition from development to production,
and revenue patterns may be erratic.

As the population of the United States ages, the companies involved in
the healthcare field will continue to search for and develop new drugs,
medical products and medical services through advanced technologies and
diagnostics. On a worldwide basis, such companies are involved in the
development and distributions of drugs, vaccines, medical products and
medical services. These activities may make the pharmaceuticals sector
very attractive for investors seeking the potential for growth in their
investment portfolio. However, there are no assurances that the Trust's
objectives will be met.

Legislative proposals concerning healthcare are proposed in Congress
from time to time. These proposals span a wide range of topics,
including cost and price controls (which might include a freeze on the
prices of prescription drugs). The Sponsor is unable to predict the
effect of any of these proposals, if enacted, on the issuers of
Securities in the Trust.

Technology. An investment in Units of the Trust should be made with an
understanding of the problems and risks inherent in the technology sector.

Technology companies generally include companies involved in the
development, design, manufacture and sale of computers and peripherals,
software and services, data networking/communications equipment,
internet access/information providers, semiconductors and semiconductor
equipment and other related products, systems and services. The market
for these products, especially those specifically related to the
Internet, is characterized by rapidly changing technology, rapid product
obsolescence, cyclical market patterns, evolving industry standards and
frequent new product introductions. The success of the issuers of the
Securities depends in substantial part on the timely and successful
introduction of new products. An unexpected change in one or more of the
technologies affecting an issuer's products or in the market for
products based on a particular technology could have a material adverse
affect on an issuer's operating results. Furthermore, there can be no
assurance that the issuers of the Securities will be able to respond in
a timely manner to compete in the rapidly developing marketplace.

Based on trading history of common stock, factors such as announcements
of new products or development of new technologies and general
conditions of the industry have caused and are likely to cause the
market price of high-technology common stocks to fluctuate
substantially. In addition, technology company stocks have experienced
extreme price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated to
the operating performance of such companies. This market volatility may
adversely affect the market price of the Securities and therefore the
ability of a Unit holder to redeem Units at a price equal to or greater
than the original price paid for such Units.

Some key components of certain products of technology issuers are
currently available only from single sources. There can be no assurance
that in the future suppliers will be able to meet the demand for
components in a timely and cost effective manner. Accordingly, an
issuer's operating results and customer relationships could be adversely
affected by either an increase in price for, or an interruption or
reduction in supply of, any key components. Additionally, many
technology issuers are characterized by a highly concentrated customer
base consisting of a limited number of large customers who may require
product vendors to comply with rigorous industry standards. Any failure
to comply with such standards may result in a significant loss or
reduction of sales. Because many products and technologies of technology
companies are incorporated into other related products, such companies
are often highly dependent on the performance of the personal computer,
electronics and telecommunications industries. There can be no assurance
that these customers will place additional orders, or that an issuer of
Securities will obtain orders of similar magnitude as past orders from
other customers. Similarly, the success of certain technology companies
is tied to a relatively small concentration of products or technologies.
Accordingly, a decline in demand of such products, technologies or from
such customers could have a material adverse impact on issuers of the
Securities.

Many technology companies rely on a combination of patents, copyrights,
trademarks and trade secret laws to establish and protect their
proprietary rights in their products and technologies. There can be no
assurance that the steps taken by the issuers of the Securities to
protect their proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent
misappropriation of their technology or that competitors will not
independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or
superior to such issuers' technology. In addition, due to the increasing
public use of the Internet, it is possible that other laws and
regulations may be adopted to address issues such as privacy, pricing,
characteristics, and quality of Internet products and services. For
example, recent proposals would prohibit the distribution of obscene,
lascivious or indecent communications on the Internet. The adoption of
any such laws could have a material adverse impact on the Securities in
the Trust.

Like many areas of technology, the semiconductor business environment is
highly competitive, notoriously cyclical and subject to rapid and often

Page 2

unanticipated change. Recent industry downturns have resulted, in part,
from weak pricing, persistent overcapacity, slowdown in Asian demand and
a shift in retail personal computer sales toward the low end, or "sub-
$1,000" segment. Industry growth is dependent upon several factors,
including: the rate of global economic expansion; demand for products
such as personal computers and networking and communications equipment;
excess productive capacity and the resultant effect on pricing; and the
rate of growth in the market for low-priced personal computers.

Financial Services. An investment in Units of the Trust should be made
with an understanding of the problems and risks inherent in the bank and
financial services sector in general.

Banks, thrifts and their holding companies are especially subject to the
adverse effects of economic recession, volatile interest rates,
portfolio concentrations in geographic markets and in commercial and
residential real estate loans, and competition from new entrants in
their fields of business. Banks and thrifts are highly dependent on net
interest margin. Recently, bank profits have come under pressure as net
interest margins have contracted, but volume gains have been strong in
both commercial and consumer products. There is no certainty that such
conditions will continue. Bank and thrift institutions had received
significant consumer mortgage fee income as a result of activity in
mortgage and refinance markets. As initial home purchasing and
refinancing activity subsided, this income diminished. Economic
conditions in the real estate markets, which have been weak in the past,
can have a substantial effect upon banks and thrifts because they
generally have a portion of their assets invested in loans secured by
real estate. Banks, thrifts and their holding companies are subject to
extensive federal regulation and, when such institutions are state-
chartered, to state regulation as well. Such regulations impose strict
capital requirements and limitations on the nature and extent of
business activities that banks and thrifts may pursue. Furthermore, bank
regulators have a wide range of discretion in connection with their
supervisory and enforcement authority and may substantially restrict the
permissible activities of a particular institution if deemed to pose
significant risks to the soundness of such institution or the safety of
the federal deposit insurance fund. Regulatory actions, such as
increases in the minimum capital requirements applicable to banks and
thrifts and increases in deposit insurance premiums required to be paid
by banks and thrifts to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC"), can negatively impact earnings and the ability of a company to
pay dividends. Neither federal insurance of deposits nor governmental
regulations, however, insures the solvency or profitability of banks or
their holding companies, or insures against any risk of investment in
the securities issued by such institutions.

The statutory requirements applicable to and regulatory supervision of
banks, thrifts and their holding companies have increased significantly
and have undergone substantial change in recent years. To a great
extent, these changes are embodied in the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery and Enforcement Act; enacted in August 1989, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, the Resolution
Trust Corporation Refinancing, Restructuring, and Improvement Act of
1991 and the regulations promulgated under these laws. Many of the
regulations promulgated pursuant to these laws have only recently been
finalized and their impact on the business, financial condition and
prospects of the Securities in the Trust's portfolio cannot be predicted
with certainty. Periodic efforts to introduce legislation broadening the
ability of banks to compete with new products have not been successful,
but if enacted could lead to more failures as a result of increased
competition and added risks. Failure to enact such legislation, on the
other hand, may lead to declining earnings and an inability to compete
with unregulated financial institutions. Efforts to expand the ability
of federal thrifts to branch on an interstate basis have been initially
successful through promulgation of regulations, and legislation to
liberalize interstate banking has recently been signed into law. Under
the legislation, banks will be able to purchase or establish subsidiary
banks in any state, one year after the legislation's enactment. Since
mid-1997, banks have been allowed to turn existing banks into branches.
Consolidation is likely to continue. The Securities and Exchange
Commission and the Financial Accounting Standards Board require the
expanded use of market value accounting by banks and have imposed rules
requiring market accounting for investment securities held in trading
accounts or available for sale. Adoption of additional such rules may
result in increased volatility in the reported health of the industry,
and mandated regulatory intervention to correct such problems.
Additional legislative and regulatory changes may be forthcoming. For
example, the bank regulatory authorities have proposed substantial
changes to the Community Reinvestment Act and fair lending laws, rules
and regulations, and there can be no certainty as to the effect, if any,
that such changes would have on the Securities in the Trust's portfolio.
In addition, from time to time the deposit insurance system is reviewed
by Congress and federal regulators, and proposed reforms of that system
could, among other things, further restrict the ways in which deposited
moneys can be used by banks or reduce the dollar amount or number of
deposits insured for any depositor. Such reforms could reduce
profitability as investment opportunities available to bank institutions
become more limited and as consumers look for savings vehicles other
than bank deposits. Banks and thrifts face significant competition from
other financial institutions such as mutual funds, credit unions,
mortgage banking companies and insurance companies, and increased
competition may result from legislative broadening of regional and
national interstate banking powers as has been recently enacted. Among
other benefits, the legislation allows banks and bank holding companies

Page 3

to acquire across previously prohibited state lines and to consolidate
their various bank subsidiaries into one unit. The Sponsor makes no
prediction as to what, if any, manner of bank and thrift regulatory
actions might ultimately be adopted or what ultimate effect such actions
might have on the Trust's portfolio.

The Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 generally prohibits a bank
holding company from (1) acquiring, directly or indirectly, more than 5%
of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of a bank or
bank holding company, (2) acquiring control of a bank or another bank
holding company, (3) acquiring all or substantially all the assets of a
bank, or (4) merging or consolidating with another bank holding company,
without first obtaining Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") approval. In
considering an application with respect to any such transaction, the FRB
is required to consider a variety of factors, including the potential
anti-competitive effects of the transaction, the financial condition and
future prospects of the combining and resulting institutions, the
managerial resources of the resulting institution, the convenience and
needs of the communities the combined organization would serve, the
record of performance of each combining organization under the Community
Reinvestment Act and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and the
prospective availability to the FRB of information appropriate to
determine ongoing regulatory compliance with applicable banking laws. In
addition, the federal Change In Bank Control Act and various state laws
impose limitations on the ability of one or more individuals or other
entities to acquire control of banks or bank holding companies.

The FRB has issued a policy statement on the payment of cash dividends
by bank holding companies. In the policy statement, the FRB expressed
its view that a bank holding company experiencing earnings weaknesses
should not pay cash dividends which exceed its net income or which could
only be funded in ways that would weaken its financial health, such as
by borrowing. The FRB also may impose limitations on the payment of
dividends as a condition to its approval of certain applications,
including applications for approval of mergers and acquisitions. The
Sponsor makes no prediction as to the effect, if any, such laws will
have on the Securities or whether such approvals, if necessary, will be
obtained.

Some of the nation's largest banks, already working to upgrade their own
computer systems to meet the Year 2000 deadline, are concerned that some
borrowers may fail to upgrade their computers in time, creating problem
loans and increasing overall loan losses. Banks considered most
vulnerable by analysts include those lending primarily to small
businesses, which aren't as likely as large businesses to have a plan
for upgrading their computers. Also at risk are banks with significant
exposure overseas, where many foreign businesses are not moving as
quickly to resolve this problem. Analysts warn that it will be difficult
for banks to determine their potential loan losses related to Year 2000
credit risk.

Companies involved in the insurance industry are engaged in
underwriting, reinsuring, selling, distributing or placing of property
and casualty, life or health insurance. Other growth areas within the
insurance industry include brokerage, reciprocals, claims processors and
multiline insurance companies. Insurance company profits are affected by
interest rate levels, general economic conditions, and price and
marketing competition. Property and casualty insurance profits may also
be affected by weather catastrophes and other disasters. Life and health
insurance profits may be affected by mortality and morbidity rates.
Individual companies may be exposed to material risks including reserve
inadequacy and the inability to collect from reinsurance carriers.
Insurance companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation,
including the imposition of maximum rate levels, which may not be
adequate for some lines of business. Proposed or potential tax law
changes may also adversely affect insurance companies' policy sales, tax
obligations, and profitability. In addition to the foregoing, profit
margins of these companies continue to shrink due to the commoditization
of traditional businesses, new competitors, capital expenditures on new
technology and the pressures to compete globally.

In addition to the normal risks of business, companies involved in the
insurance industry are subject to significant risk factors, including
those applicable to regulated insurance companies, such as: (i) the
inherent uncertainty in the process of establishing property-liability
loss reserves, particularly reserves for the cost of environmental,
asbestos and mass tort claims, and the fact that ultimate losses could
materially exceed established loss reserves which could have a material
adverse effect on results of operations and financial condition; (ii)
the fact that insurance companies have experienced, and can be expected
in the future to experience, catastrophe losses which could have a
material adverse impact on their financial condition, results of
operations and cash flow; (iii) the inherent uncertainty in the process
of establishing property-liability loss reserves due to changes in loss
payment patterns caused by new claims settlement practices; (iv) the
need for insurance companies and their subsidiaries to maintain
appropriate levels of statutory capital and surplus, particularly in
light of continuing scrutiny by rating organizations and state insurance
regulatory authorities, and in order to maintain acceptable financial
strength or claims-paying ability rating; (v) the extensive regulation
and supervision to which insurance companies' subsidiaries are subject,
various regulatory initiatives that may affect insurance companies, and
regulatory and other legal actions; (vi) the adverse impact that
increases in interest rates could have on the value of an insurance
company's investment portfolio and on the attractiveness of certain of
its products; (vii) the need to adjust the effective duration of the
assets and liabilities of life insurance operations in order to meet the
anticipated cash flow requirements of its policyholder obligations; and

Page 4

(vii) the uncertainty involved in estimating the availability of
reinsurance and the collectibility of reinsurance recoverables.

The state insurance regulatory framework has, during recent years, come
under increased federal scrutiny, and certain state legislatures have
considered or enacted laws that alter and, in many cases, increase state
authority to regulate insurance companies and insurance holding company
systems. Further, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners
("NAIC") and state insurance regulators are re-examining existing laws
and regulations, specifically focusing on insurance companies,
interpretations of existing laws and the development of new laws. In
addition, Congress and certain federal agencies have investigated the
condition of the insurance industry in the United States to determine
whether to promulgate additional federal regulation. The Sponsor is
unable to predict whether any state or federal legislation will be
enacted to change the nature or scope of regulation of the insurance
industry, or what effect, if any, such legislation would have on the
industry.

All insurance companies are subject to state laws and regulations that
require diversification of their investment portfolios and limit the
amount of investments in certain investment categories. Failure to
comply with these laws and regulations would cause non-conforming
investments to be treated as non-admitted assets for purposes of
measuring statutory surplus and, in some instances, would require
divestiture.

Environmental pollution clean-up is the subject of both federal and
state regulation. By some estimates, there are thousands of potential
waste sites subject to clean up. The insurance industry is involved in
extensive litigation regarding coverage issues. The Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980
("Superfund") and comparable state statutes ("mini-Superfund") govern
the clean-up and restoration by "Potentially Responsible Parties"
("PRP's"). Superfund and the mini-Superfunds ("Environmental Clean-up
Laws or "ECLs") establish a mechanism to pay for clean-up of waste sites
if PRP's fail to do so, and to assign liability to PRP's. The extent of
liability to be allocated to a PRP is dependent on a variety of factors.
The extent of clean-up necessary and the assignment of liability has not
been fully established. The insurance industry is disputing many such
claims. Key coverage issues include whether Superfund response costs are
considered damages under the policies, when and how coverage is
triggered, applicability of pollution exclusions, the potential for
joint and several liability and definition of an occurrence. Similar
coverage issues exist for clean up and waste sites not covered under
Superfund. To date, courts have been inconsistent in their rulings on
these issues. An insurer's exposure to liability with regard to its
insureds which have been, or may be, named as PRPs is uncertain.
Superfund reform proposals have been introduced in Congress, but none
have been enacted. There can be no assurance that any Superfund reform
legislation will be enacted or that any such legislation will provide
for a fair, effective and cost-efficient system for settlement of
Superfund related claims.

Proposed federal legislation which would permit banks greater
participation in the insurance business could, if enacted, present an
increased level of competition for the sale of insurance products. In
addition, while current federal income tax law permits the tax-deferred
accumulation of earnings on the premiums paid by an annuity owner and
holders of certain savings-oriented life insurance products, no
assurance can be given that future tax law will continue to allow such
tax deferrals. If such deferrals were not allowed, consumer demand for
the affected products would be substantially reduced. In addition,
proposals to lower the federal income tax rates through a form of flat
tax or otherwise could have, if enacted, a negative impact on the demand
for such products.

Companies engaged in investment banking/brokerage and investment
management include brokerage firms, broker/dealers, investment banks,
finance companies and mutual fund companies. Earnings and share prices
of companies in this industry are quite volatile, and often exceed the
volatility levels of the market as a whole. Recently, ongoing
consolidation in the industry and the strong stock market has benefited
stocks which investors believe will benefit from greater investor and
issuer activity. Major determinants of future earnings of these
companies are the direction of the stock market, investor confidence,
equity transaction volume, the level and direction of long-term and
short-term interest rates, and the outlook for emerging markets.
Negative trends in any of these earnings determinants could have a
serious adverse effect on the financial stability, as well as the stock
prices, of these companies. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that
the issuers of the Securities included in the Financial Services Growth
Portfolio will be able to respond in a timely manner to compete in the
rapidly developing marketplace. In addition to the foregoing, profit
margins of these companies continue to shrink due to the commoditization
of traditional businesses, new competitors, capital expenditures on new
technology and the pressures to compete globally.
