                               EQUITY FOCUS TRUSTS
                      THEME INVESTING PORTFOLIO 1999 SERIES


           The final prospectus for the Equity Focus Trusts - Theme Investing
Portfolio is hereby incorporated by reference and used as a preliminary
prospectus for Equity Focus Trusts Theme Investing Portfolio 1999 Series. Except
as indicated below, the narrative information and structure of the final
prospectus which includes the new Trust will be substantially the same as that
of the previous prospectus. The investment theme of the new Trust will be to
create a portfolio of equity securities with consistent earnings growth and
visibility for continued growth. In addition, the new Trust will have an
approximately two year life, with an initial sales charge of 1% and a deferred
sales charge during each of the two years totaling $17.50 per 1,000 units each
year. As a result the maximum total sales charge for the Trust will be 4.50% of
the Public Offering Price. Information with respect to this Trust, including
pricing, the size and composition of the Trust portfolio, the number of units of
the Trust, dates and summary information regarding the characteristics of
securities to be deposited in the Trust is not now available and will be
different from that shown since each trust has a unique portfolio. Accordingly,
the information contained herein with regard to the previous Trust should be
considered as being included for informational purposes only. Investors should
contact financial professionals of the underwriters who will be informed of the
expected effective date of this Trust and who will be supplied with complete
information with respect to such Trust on the day of and immediately prior to
the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to units of the Trust.

                 The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be
changed. We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not
an offer to sell the securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these
securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.
