ABOUT THE FUND

Investment Objective

     The investment objective of the Disruptive Growth Fund is long term capital
appreciation.

Principal Strategies

     The Fund invests  primarily in common stocks of companies  that the adviser
believes  are  "disruptive  technology"  companies.  These are  companies  whose
innovation  strategies  fit  the  pattern,   identified  through  the  adviser's
research,  that  historically many entrant companies have followed in displacing
the leading competitors in their industries.  Typically,  disruptive  technology
companies emerge when the  performance,  cost and complexity of the products and
services of the leading  companies  in an industry  have  increased to the point
that they  over-serve  what is actually  needed or utilized by  customers in the
mainstream  of the market.  When this  occurs,  it creates the  opportunity  for
disruptive  technology  companies to enter the  over-served  tiers of the market
with products and services that are simpler,  less expensive and more convenient
to use.

     The adviser  views  technologies  in the broader  sense,  to extend  beyond
engineering and  manufacturing to include  marketing,  investment and management
processes.  The adviser seeks companies that are innovatively using any of these
technologies in a way that has the potential to be disruptive.

     Disruptive  technology  companies have often helped create major new market
applications,  because they typically  have enabled a much larger  population of
customers to use the product or service  than  historically  had been  possible.
Examples of products and services  that  disruptive  technology  companies  have
introduced   to   create   new,    high-growth   market   applications   include
microprocessors, routers, wireless telephony, off-road motorcycles, modular mass
data  storage  systems,   discount  brokerage  and  discount  retailing.   These
historically  disruptive  products and services have now captured the mainstream
of the markets they once had attacked. The investment strategy of the Fund is to
invest in firms that presently are positioned to transform  their  industries in
analogous ways.

     The adviser will assess the growth  potential  of companies  based upon the
extent to which the company is using  disruptive  products or services to create
new market applications for existing  technology,  or has created a new business
model  to  serve  markets  at   fundamentally   lower  costs  than   established
competitors.  The adviser  analyzes  product  performance  and customer needs in
conjunction  with  fundamental  review of a company's  financial  condition  and
industry  or market  position to identify  companies  for the Fund's  portfolio.
Although the adviser focuses  primarily on medium-sized  companies,  the adviser
may also  make  substantial  investments  in larger or  smaller  companies.  The
adviser may invest in common stocks of domestic and foreign companies.

     The adviser will sell a company's stock when the adviser  believes that the
company no longer is positioned to take  advantage of its  technology and market
position to disrupt large  competitors in more profitable  tiers of its markets,
or if the  company's  financial  condition  or industry or market  position  has
deteriorated.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund

o    Management  Risk.  The  strategy  used by the  Fund's  adviser  may fail to
     produce the intended  results.  The Fund has no  operating  history and the
     Fund's  adviser  has no prior  experience  managing  the assets of a mutual
     fund.

o    Company  Risk.  The  value of the  Fund may  decrease  in  response  to the
     activities and financial  prospects of an individual  company in the Fund's
     portfolio. The value of an individual company can be more volatile than the
     market as a whole.

o    Market  Risk.  Overall  stock market risks may also affect the value of the
     Fund.  Factors  such as  domestic  economic  growth and market  conditions,
     interest rate levels,  and political  events affect the securities  markets
     and could cause the Fund's share price to fall.

o    Sector Risk. If the Fund's  portfolio is overweighed  in a certain  sector,
     any negative  development  affecting that sector will have a greater impact
     on the Fund than a fund that is not  overweighed  in that sector.  The Fund
     may have a greater  concentration in traditional  technology  companies and
     weakness in this sector could result in significant losses to the Fund.

o    Volatility  risk.  Common  stocks  tend  to be  more  volatile  than  other
     investment choices. The value of an individual company can be more volatile
     than the market as a whole. This volatility affects the value of the Fund's
     shares.

o    Smaller Company Risk. To the extent the Fund invests in smaller  companies,
     the Fund will be subject to additional risks. These include:

     o    The earnings and prospects of smaller companies are more volatile than
          larger companies.

     o    Smaller  companies may experience  higher failure rates than do larger
          companies.

     o    The trading volume of securities of smaller companies is normally less
          than that of larger companies and, therefore,  may  disproportionately
          affect their market price,  tending to make them fall more in response
          to selling pressure than is the case with larger companies.

     o    Smaller companies may have limited markets, product lines or financial
          resources and may lack management experience.

o    Foreign Risk. To the extent the Fund invests in foreign equity  securities,
     the Fund could be subject to greater risks  because the Fund's  performance
     may depend on issues other than the  performance  of a particular  company.
     Changes in foreign  economies  and  political  climates  are more likely to
     affect  the Fund  than a  mutual  fund  that  invests  exclusively  in U.S.
     companies. The value of foreign securities is also affected by the value of
     the local  currency  relative  to the U.S.  dollar.  There may also be less
     government  supervision  of  foreign  markets,   resulting  in  non-uniform
     accounting practices and less publicly available information.

o    An  investment  in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured
     or guaranteed by the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  or any other
     government agency.

o    The Fund is not a complete  investment  program.  As with any  mutual  fund
     investment, the Fund's returns will vary and you could lose money.

Is the Fund right for You?

The Fund may be suitable for:

o    Long-term investors seeking a fund with a capital  appreciation  investment
     strategy

o    Investors who can tolerate the greater risks  associated  with common stock
     investments

How the Fund has Performed

     Although past  performance of a fund is no guarantee of how it will perform
in the future,  historical  performance may give you some indication of the risk
of  investing in the fund  because it  demonstrates  how its returns have varied
over time. The Bar Chart and Performance  Table that would  otherwise  appear in
this prospectus have been omitted because the Fund is recently organized.

                   FEES AND EXPENSES OF INVESTING IN THE FUND

     The tables  describe the fees and expenses  that you may pay if you buy and
hold shares of the Fund.

SHAREHOLDER FEES
(fees paid directly from your investment)
Maximum Sales Charge (Load)
Imposed on Purchases.......................................................5.75%
Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load)........................................NONE
Redemption Fee on Shares Held Less Than 90 Days(as a % of amount redeemed).1.50%
Exchange Fee................................................................NONE

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES
(expenses that are deducted from Fund assets)
Management Fees............................................................1.50%
Distribution/Service (12b-1) Fees..........................................0.25%
Other Expenses** ..........................................................0.00%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses ......................................1.75%

     ** The Fund  estimates  that  other  expenses  (fees  and  expenses  of the
trustees who are not "interested  persons" as defined in the Investment  Company
Act) will be less than 0.005% of average net assets for the first fiscal year.


Example:

     The example  below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in
the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.  The example uses the
same assumptions as other mutual fund prospectuses: a $10,000 initial investment
for the time periods indicated,  reinvestment of dividends and distributions, 5%
annual total return,  constant operating expenses, and sale of all shares at the
end of each time period.  Although your actual expenses may be different,  based
on these assumptions your costs will be:

                       1 year           3 years
                       ------           -------
                        $777            $1,228

                                HOW TO BUY SHARES

     The minimum  initial  investment  in the Fund is $2,500  ($500 for IRAs and
other qualified retirement accounts) and minimum subsequent investments are $50.
These  minimums  may be waived by the adviser for accounts  participating  in an
automatic  investment  program. If your investment is aggregated into an omnibus
account established by an investment adviser, broker or other intermediary,  the
account  minimums  apply  to  the  omnibus  account,   not  to  your  individual
investment.  If you purchase or redeem shares through a broker/dealer or another
intermediary, you may be charged a fee by that intermediary.

     Purchases Without a Sales Charge.  The persons described below may purchase
and  redeem  shares  of the  Fund  without  paying a sales  charge.  In order to
purchase  shares  without  paying a sales  charge,  you must  notify  the Fund's
transfer agent as to which conditions apply.

o    Trustees,  directors,  officers and employees of the Trust, the adviser and
     service  providers of the Trust,  including members of the immediate family
     of such individuals and employee benefit plans of such entities;

o    Broker-dealers  that have selling agreements with the Fund's distributor or
     that are  otherwise  entitled  to be  compensated  under the  Fund's  12b-1
     Distribution Plan (and registered personnel and employees,  their immediate
     family members and employee benefit plans of such entities);

o    Financial planners,  registered investment advisers, bank trust departments
     and other financial  intermediaries with service agreements with the Fund's
     distributor  (and employees,  their  immediate  family members and employee
     benefit plans of such entities);

o    Clients  (who  pay  a  fee  to  the  relevant  administrator  or  financial
     intermediary) of administrators of tax-qualified plans, financial planners,
     registered investment advisers,  bank trust departments and other financial
     intermediaries, provided the administrator or financial intermediary has an
     agreement with the Fund's distributor or the Fund for this purpose;

o    Clients of the Fund's  adviser who were not  introduced to the adviser by a
     financial  intermediary  and,  prior  to the  effective  date of the  Fund,
     executed investment management agreements with the adviser;

o    Separate  accounts of insurance  companies,  provided the insurance company
     has an agreement with the Fund's distributor or the Fund for this purpose;

o    Participants  in  wrap  account  programs,   provided  the   broker-dealer,
     registered investment adviser or bank offering the program has an agreement
     with the Fund's distributor or the Fund for this purpose.

     In addition, shares of the Fund may be purchased at net asset value through
processing organizations (broker-dealers, banks or other financial institutions)
that have a sales  agreement or have made special  arrangements  with the Fund's
distributor.  When shares are purchased this way, the  processing  organization,
rather than its customer,  may be the  shareholder of record of the shares.  The
minimum  initial and  subsequent  investments in the Fund for  shareholders  who
invest through a processing organization generally will be set by the processing
organization.  Processing  organizations  may  also  impose  other  charges  and
restrictions in addition to or different from those  applicable to investors who
remain  the   shareholder   of  record  of  their  shares.   Thus,  an  investor
contemplating  investing with the Fund through a processing  organization should
read materials provided by the processing  organization in conjunction with this
Prospectus.

     Right of Accumulation. Any "purchaser" (as defined above) may buy shares of
the Fund at a reduced sales charge by  aggregating  the dollar amount of the new
purchase  and the total net asset  value of all  shares of the Fund then held by
the purchaser and applying the sales charge  applicable  to such  aggregate.  In
order to obtain such discount, the purchaser must provide sufficient information
at the time of purchase to permit  verification that the purchase  qualifies for
the reduced sales charge.  The right of  accumulation is subject to modification
or discontinuance at any time with respect to all shares purchased thereafter.

     Letter of  Intent.  A Letter of  Intent  for  amounts  of  $25,000  or more
provides an  opportunity  for an investor  to obtain a reduced  sales  charge by
aggregating  investments  over a 13 month  period,  provided  that the  investor
refers to such Letter when placing  orders.  For purposes of a Letter of Intent,
the "Amount of  Investment"  as referred to in the preceding  sales charge table
includes  all  purchases of shares of the Fund over the 13 month period based on
the total amount of intended  purchases plus the value of all shares  previously
purchased  and still  owned.  An  alternative  is to compute the 13 month period
starting up to 90 days before the date of execution of a Letter of Intent.  Each
investment made during the period  receives the reduced sales charge  applicable
to the total amount of the investment  goal. If the goal is not achieved  within
the period,  the  investor  must pay the  difference  between the sales  charges
applicable  to the  purchases  made  and  the  charges  previously  paid,  or an
appropriate  number of escrowed  shares  will be  redeemed.  Please  contact the
Fund's transfer agent to obtain a Letter of Intent application.

Distribution Plan

     The  Fund has  adopted  a plan  under  Rule  12b-1  that  allows  it to pay
distribution and service fees for the sale and  distribution of its shares.  The
plan  provides  that the Fund will pay  annual  12b-1  expenses  of 0.25% of the
Fund's average daily net assets to the adviser for its  distribution and service
activities  on behalf of the Fund.  The fees received by the adviser in any year
may be more or less than its costs for its distribution and service  activities.
Because these fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis,  over
time these fees will increase the cost of your  investment and may cost you more
than paying other types of sales charges.

Automatic Investment Plan

     You may make regular  investments in the Fund with an Automatic  Investment
Plan by  completing  the  appropriate  section of the  account  application  and
attaching a voided  personal  check.  Investments  may be made  monthly to allow
dollar-cost  averaging  by  automatically  deducting  $50 or more from your bank
checking  account.  You may change the amount of your  monthly  purchase  at any
time.

Tax Sheltered Retirement Plans

     Since the Fund is oriented to longer-term  investments,  the Fund may be an
appropriate investment for tax-sheltered retirement plans, including: individual
retirement plans (IRAs);  simplified  employee  pensions  (SEPs);  401(k) plans;
qualified  corporate  pension  and  profit-sharing  plans (for  employees);  tax
deferred  investment  plans (for  employees of public school systems and certain
types of charitable  organizations);  and other qualified  retirement plans. You
should contact the Fund's transfer agent for the procedure to open an IRA or SEP
plan, as well as more  specific  information  regarding  these  retirement  plan
options.  Please consult with an attorney or tax advisor  regarding these plans.
You must pay custodial  fees for your IRA by redemption of sufficient  shares of
the Fund from the IRA unless  you pay the fees  directly  to the IRA  custodian.
Call the Fund's transfer agent about the IRA custodial fees.

Other Purchase Information

     The Fund may  limit  the  amount  of  purchases  and  refuse to sell to any
person.  If your check or wire does not clear,  you will be responsible  for any
loss incurred by the Fund. If you are already a shareholder, the Fund can redeem
shares from any identically  registered account in the Fund as reimbursement for
any loss  incurred.  You may be  prohibited  or  restricted  from making  future
purchases in the Fund.

     The  Fund  has  authorized  certain   broker-dealers  and  other  financial
institutions (including their designated intermediaries) to accept on its behalf
purchase and sell orders.  The Fund is deemed to have received an order when the
authorized  person or designee  accepts the order, and the order is processed at
the net asset value next calculated thereafter.  It is the responsibility of the
broker-dealer or other financial  institution to transmit orders promptly to the
Fund's transfer agent.


                              HOW TO REDEEM SHARES

     You may receive redemption payments by check or federal wire transfer.  The
proceeds may be more or less than the purchase  price of your shares,  depending
on the market  value of the Fund's  securities  at the time of your  redemption.
Presently there is no charge for wire redemptions;  however, the Fund may charge
for this  service  in the  future.  Any  charges  for wire  redemptions  will be
deducted  from your Fund  account by  redemption  of shares.  If you redeem your
shares through a broker/dealer or other institution, you may be charged a fee by
that institution.

     The Fund will deduct a short term trading fee of 1.50% from the  redemption
amount if you sell your shares after holding them less than 90 days. This fee is
paid to the Fund rather than the Fund's  distributor,  and is designed to offset
the  brokerage  commissions,  market  impact  and other  costs  associated  with
fluctuations in fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short term shareholder
trading.  If you bought  shares on different  days,  the shares you held longest
will be  redeemed  first for  purposes  of  determining  whether  the short term
trading fee  applies.  The short term  trading fee does not apply to shares that
were acquired through reinvestment of distributions. Your shares will be sold at
the net asset value per share (NAV) next calculated after your order is received
in proper form, minus the short term trading fee, if applicable.

     By Mail - You may redeem any part of your  account in the Fund at no charge

                                 P.O. Box 6110
                        Indianapolis, Indiana 46206-6110

     Requests  to  sell  shares  are  processed  at the  net  asset  value  next
calculated  after we receive  your order in proper  form.  To be in proper form,
your request for a redemption must include your letter of instruction, including
the Fund name,  account number,  account  name(s),  the address,  and the dollar
amount or number of shares you wish to redeem.  This  request  must be signed by
all registered  share owner(s) in the exact name(s) and any special  capacity in
which they are registered.  The Fund requires that signatures be guaranteed by a
bank or member firm of a national  securities  exchange if you are  requesting a
redemption of $5,000 or more, or a redemption of any amount  payable to a person
other than the shareholder of record,  or if you request the proceeds be sent to
an address other than the address on record.  Signature  guarantees  are for the
protection of shareholders. At the discretion of the Fund or the Fund's transfer
agent, a shareholder, prior to redemption, may be required to furnish additional
legal documents to insure proper authorization.

     By  Telephone  - You may  redeem  any part of your  account  in the Fund by
calling the Fund's transfer agent at (888) 837-2588. You must first complete the
Optional Telephone Redemption and Exchange section of the investment application
to institute this option. The Fund, the transfer agent and the custodian are not
liable  for  following  redemption  or  exchange  instructions  communicated  by
telephone that they reasonably  believe to be genuine.  However,  if they do not
employ reasonable procedures to confirm that telephone instructions are genuine,
they  may  be  liable  for  any  losses  due  to   unauthorized   or  fraudulent
instructions.  Procedures employed may include recording telephone  instructions
and requiring a form of personal identification from the caller.

     The Fund or the  transfer  agent may  terminate  the  telephone  redemption
procedures  at any time.  During  periods  of  extreme  market  activity,  it is
possible that  shareholders  may encounter some  difficulty in  telephoning  the
Fund,  although  neither the Fund nor the  transfer  agent has ever  experienced
difficulties  in  receiving  and in a timely  fashion  responding  to  telephone
requests for  redemptions  or exchanges.  If you are unable to reach the Fund by
telephone, you may request a redemption or exchange by mail.

     Additional  Information - If you are not certain of the  requirements for a
redemption please call the Fund's transfer agent at (888) 837-2588.  Redemptions
specifying  a  certain  date or  share  price  cannot  be  accepted  and will be
returned.  You will be mailed the  proceeds on or before the fifth  business day
following the  redemption.  However,  payment for redemption made against shares
purchased by check will be made only after the check has been  collected,  which
normally may take up to fifteen calendar days from purchase date. Also, when the
New York Stock Exchange is closed (or when trading is restricted) for any reason
other than its  customary  weekend or holiday  closing,  or under any  emergency
circumstances (as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission) the Fund
may suspend redemptions or postpone payment dates.

     Because the Fund incurs  certain  fixed  costs in  maintaining  shareholder
accounts,  the Fund may  require you to redeem all of your shares in the Fund on
30 days'  written  notice if the  value of your  shares in the Fund is less than
$2,500 due to redemption, or such other minimum amount as the Fund may determine
from time to time. An  involuntary  redemption  constitutes  a sale.  You should
consult  your  tax  advisor  concerning  the  tax  consequences  of  involuntary
redemptions.  You may  increase  the  value  of your  shares  in the Fund to the
minimum amount within the 30-day  period.  Your shares are subject to redemption
at any time if the Board of  Trustees  determines  in its sole  discretion  that
failure to so redeem may have materially  adverse  consequences to all or any of
the shareholders of the Fund.

                        DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

     The price you pay for your  shares is based on the Fund's  net asset  value
per share (NAV), plus any applicable sales charge.  The NAV is calculated at the
close of  trading  (normally  4:00 p.m.  Eastern  time) on each day the New York
Stock  Exchange is open for business (the Stock  Exchange is closed on weekends,
Federal  holidays and Good Friday).  The NAV is calculated by dividing the value
of the Fund's total assets (including interest and dividends accrued but not yet
received) minus liabilities  (including accrued expenses) by the total number of
shares outstanding.

     The Fund's  assets are generally  valued at their market  value.  If market
prices are not  available,  or if an event occurs after the close of the trading
market that  materially  affects the values,  assets may be valued by the Fund's
adviser at their fair  value,  according  to  procedures  approved by the Fund's
board of trustees.

     Requests  to  purchase  and  sell  shares  are  processed  at the NAV  next
calculated after we receive your order in proper form.

                       DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

     Dividends and Distributions.  The Fund typically distributes  substantially
all of its net  investment  income in the form of dividends and taxable  capital
gains to its shareholders.  These distributions are automatically  reinvested in
the Fund unless you request cash  distributions on your application or through a
written request.  The Fund expects that its distributions will consist primarily
of [capital gains].

     Taxes. In general,  selling shares of the Fund and receiving  distributions
(whether  reinvested  or taken in cash) are  taxable  events.  Depending  on the
purchase  price and the sale price,  you may have a gain or a loss on any shares
sold.  Any tax  liabilities  generated  by  your  transactions  or by  receiving
distributions  are  your  responsibility.   You  may  want  to  avoid  making  a
substantial  investment  when  the  Fund  is  about  to  make  a  capital  gains
distribution  because you would be responsible for any taxes on the distribution
regardless of how long you have owned your shares.

     Early each year,  the Fund will mail to you a statement  setting  forth the
federal income tax  information for all  distributions  made during the previous
year. If you do not provide your taxpayer  identification  number,  your account
will be subject to backup withholding.

     The  tax  considerations   described  in  this  section  do  not  apply  to
tax-deferred accounts or other non-taxable entities. Because each investor's tax
circumstances  are  unique,  please  consult  with your tax  advisor  about your
investment.

                             MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND

     EC Advisors,  Inc., 7435 Watson Road,  Suite 88, St. Louis,  Missouri 63119
serves as investment  adviser to the Fund.  EC Advisors,  Inc. is a newly formed
investment  adviser.  The Fund is  authorized  to pay the adviser a fee equal to
1.50% of its average daily net assets.

     Neil A. Eisner is primarily  responsible  for the  investment of the Fund's
portfolio.  Mr. Eisner is Chairman and President of Eisner  Securities,  Inc., a
full-service  stockbrokerage firm. A Cornell graduate with degrees in electrical
engineering and law, he began his career as a Wall Street  investment  banker in
the early 70's with Lehman Brothers and successor firms. His expertise in energy
financing brought him to prominence as a presidential appointee under the Carter
and Reagan  administrations.  Serving as acting Chief  Financial  Officer of the
United States  Synthetic  Fuels  Corporation,  Mr. Eisner  formulated  financial
policy for this $17 billion  government  corporation.  Prior to starting  Eisner
Securities,  he headed his own investment  banking  consulting firm whose client
list included Fortune 500 companies.  He has been managing investment portfolios
for private clients since 1989.

     Clayton  M.   Christensen,   an   acknowledged   authority  on  "disruptive
technology," acts as a consultant to Mr. Eisner and others at EC Advisors, Inc.,
regarding the Fund, but does not make any portfolio  investment  decisions.  Mr.
Christensen  is a Professor of  Technology & Operations  Management  and General
Management at the Harvard University Graduate School of Business Administration.
His  teachings  and  research  expertise  in  the  management  of  technological
innovation and the cultivation of  organizational  capabilities  have earned him
numerous  awards.  Mr.  Christensen  is the author of the best selling book, The
Innovator's  Dilemma:  When New Technologies  Cause Great Firms to Fail (Harvard
Business School Press, 1997;  HarperCollins  paperback, May 2000), winner of the
Financial  Times/Booz-Allen  &  Hamilton  Global  Business  Award  for the  best
business book of 1997.

     The  adviser  pays  all of  the  operating  expenses  of  the  Fund  except
brokerage,  taxes,  borrowing  costs (such as interest and  dividend  expense of
securities sold short),  fees and expenses of  non-interested  person  trustees,
extraordinary  expenses and expenses incurred  pursuant to Rule  12b-1 under the
Investment  Company Act of 1940.  In this  regard,  it should be noted that most
investment companies pay their own operating expenses directly, while the Fund's
expenses,  except those specified  above,  are paid by the adviser.  The adviser
(not the Fund) may pay certain financial  institutions (which may include banks,
brokers,  securities  dealers  and  other  industry  professionals)  a  fee  for
providing   distribution   related   services  and/or  for  performing   certain
administrative  servicing  functions for Fund  shareholders  to the extent these
institutions are allowed to do so by applicable statute, rule or regulation.



                       OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT INVESTMENTS
General

     The  investment  objective of the Fund may be changed  without  shareholder
approval.

     From time to time, the Fund may take temporary  defensive  positions  which
are inconsistent with the Fund's principal investment strategies,  in attempting
to respond to adverse market,  economic,  political,  or other  conditions.  For
example,  the Fund  may hold all or a  portion  of its  assets  in money  market
instruments,  securities of no-load money market funds or repurchase agreements.
If the Fund invests in shares of a money market fund,  the  shareholders  of the
Fund generally will be subject to  duplicative  management  fees. As a result of
engaging in these  temporary  measures,  the Fund may not achieve its investment
objective.  The Fund may also invest in such instruments at any time to maintain
liquidity or pending selection of investments in accordance with its policies.

Equity Securities.

     The Fund may invest in common  stocks and other equity  securities.  Equity
securities  consist of common  stock,  preferred  stock,  convertible  preferred
stock, convertible bonds, rights and warrants.  Common stocks, the most familiar
type,  represent an equity (ownership)  interest in a corporation.  Warrants are
options to purchase  equity  securities at a specified price for a specific time
period.  Rights are similar to warrants,  but normally have a short duration and
are distributed by the issuer to its  shareholders.  Although equity  securities
have a history of long-term  growth in value,  their prices  fluctuate  based on
changes in a company's  financial  condition and on overall  market and economic
conditions.  The Fund will not invest  more than 5% of its net assets in each of
the following:  preferred  stock,  convertible  preferred  stock and convertible
bonds.

     Equity  securities  also  include  SPDRs  (known as  "Spiders").  These are
Standard & Poor's Depositary  Receipts based on the S&P 500 or S&P 400 Composite
Stock Price Index or the NASDAQ 100 Price Index (NDX).  The SPDR Trust is a unit
investment  trust that holds shares of all the companies in the S&P 500, 400, or
NDX  and  closely  tracks  the  price  performance  and  dividend  yield  of the
applicable  Index.  SPDRs trade on the American  Stock Exchange under the ticker
symbol "SPY",  "MDY",  and "QQQ." Equities also include  instruments  similar to
SPDRs such as DIAMONDS  (shares of a unit  investment  trust that invests in the
Dow Jones Industrial Average.) Shares of SPDRs, DIAMONDS and similar instruments
are considered by the Fund to be common stock.

Short Sales.

     The Fund may sell a  security  short in  anticipation  of a decline  in the
market value of the security.  When the Fund engages in a short sale, it sells a
security  which it does not own.  To  complete  the  transaction,  the Fund must
borrow the  security in order to deliver it to the buyer.  The Fund must replace
the  borrowed  security  by  purchasing  it at the  market  price at the time of
replacement, which may be more or less than the price at which the Fund sold the
security.  The Fund will incur a loss as a result of the short sale if the price
of the  security  increases  between  the date of the short sale and the date on
which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund will realize a profit if
the security declines in price between those dates.

     In connection with its short sales, the Fund will be required to maintain a
segregated  account with its  Custodian of cash or high grade liquid debt assets
equal to the market value of the securities  sold less any collateral  deposited
with  its  broker.  However,  the  segregated  account  and  deposits  will  not
necessarily limit the Fund's potential loss on a short sale, which is unlimited.

Option Transactions.

     The Fund may  invest up to 5% of its net  assets,  including  premiums  and
potential settlement  obligations,  in option transactions  involving individual
securities and market  indices.  An option  involves either (a) the right or the
obligation to buy or sell a specific  instrument  at a specific  price until the
expiration  date of the  option,  or (b) the right to  receive  payments  or the
obligation  to make payments  representing  the  difference  between the closing
price of a market  index  and the  exercise  price of the  option  expressed  in
dollars  times a specified  multiple  until the  expiration  date of the option.
Options are sold (written) on securities and market indices. The purchaser of an
option on a  security  pays the  seller  (the  writer)  a premium  for the right
granted  but is not  obligated  to buy or  sell  the  underlying  security.  The
purchaser of an option on a market index pays the seller a premium for the right
granted,  and in return  the seller of such an option is  obligated  to make the
payment.  A writer of an option may terminate the obligation prior to expiration
of the option by making an offsetting  purchase of an identical option.  Options
are traded on organized exchanges and in the over-the-counter market. Options on
securities which the Fund sells (writes) will be covered or secured, which means
that it will own the  underlying  security (for a call option);  will  segregate
with the Fund's  custodian  high quality  liquid debt  obligations  equal to the
option  exercise  price (for a put option);  or (for an option on a stock index)
will hold a portfolio of securities  substantially  replicating  the movement of
the index (or, to the extent it does not hold such a portfolio,  will maintain a
segregated  account  with the  Fund's  custodian  of high  quality  liquid  debt
obligations  equal to the market value of the option,  marked to market  daily).
When the Fund writes  options,  it may be required to maintain a margin account,
to pledge the underlying securities or U.S. government obligations or to deposit
liquid high  quality  debt  obligations  in a separate  account  with the Fund's
custodian.

     The purchase and writing of options  involves  certain risks;  for example,
the possible inability to effect closing transactions at favorable prices and an
appreciation  limit on the securities set aside for  settlement,  as well as (in
the case of options on a stock index)  exposure to an  indeterminate  liability.
The purchase of options  limits the Fund's  potential  loss to the amount of the
premium paid and can afford the Fund the  opportunity  to profit from  favorable
movements  in the price of an  underlying  security to a greater  extent than if
transactions were effected in the security directly. However, the purchase of an
option could result in the Fund losing a greater  percentage  of its  investment
than if the transaction were effected  directly.  When the Fund writes a covered
call option,  it will receive a premium,  but it will give up the opportunity to
profit from a price increase in the underlying security above the exercise price
as long as its obligation as a writer continues,  and it will retain the risk of
loss should the price of the  security  decline.  When the Fund writes a covered
put  option,  it will  receive a  premium,  but it will  assume the risk of loss
should the price of the underlying  security fall below the exercise price. When
the Fund writes a covered put option on a stock  index,  it will assume the risk
that the price of the index will fall below the  exercise  price,  in which case
the Fund may be  required  to enter  into a closing  transaction  at a loss.  An
analogous risk would apply if the Fund writes a call option on a stock index and
the price of the index rises above the exercise price.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST AND FUND


     The  Disruptive  Growth Fund (the "Fund") was  organized  as a  diversified
series of The Innovative  Funds (the "Trust") on November 29, 1999. The Trust is
an  open-end  investment  company  established  under  the  laws  of  Ohio by an
Agreement  and  Declaration  of  Trust  dated  November  29,  1999  (the  "Trust
Agreement").  The Trust  Agreement  permits the  Trustees to issue an  unlimited
number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series without par value.


         The Fund does not issue  share  certificates.  All  shares  are held in
non-certificate form registered on the books of the Fund and the Fund's transfer
agent for the account of the Shareholder.  Each share of a series  represents an
equal  proportionate  interest in the assets and  liabilities  belonging to that
series with each other  share of that  series and is entitled to such  dividends
and  distributions  out of income belonging to the series as are declared by the
Trustees.  The shares do not have cumulative  voting rights or any preemptive or
conversion  rights,  and the Trustees  have the  authority  from time to time to
divide or combine  the shares of any series  into a greater or lesser  number of
shares of that series so long as the  proportionate  beneficial  interest in the
assets belonging to that series and the rights of shares of any other series are
in no way  affected.  In case of any  liquidation  of a series,  the  holders of
shares of the series being  liquidated  will been titled to receive as a class a
distribution  out of the  assets,  net of the  liabilities,  belonging  to  that
series.  Expenses  attributable  to any  series  are borne by that  series.  Any
general  expenses  of the Trust  not  readily  identifiable  as  belonging  to a
particular  series are  allocated  by or under the  direction of the Trustees in
such manner as the Trustees  determine to be fair and equitable.  No shareholder
is liable to further  calls or to  assessment  by the Trust  without  his or her
express consent.

         Any  Trustee of the Trust may be  removed  by vote of the  shareholders
holding not less than  two-thirds of the  outstanding  shares of the Trust.  The
Trust  does not  hold an  annual  meeting  of  shareholders.  When  matters  are
submitted to shareholders  for a vote, each  shareholder is entitled to one vote
for each whole share he owns and fractional votes for fractional shares he owns.
All shares of the Fund have equal  voting  rights and  liquidation  rights.  The
Declaration  of Trust can be amended by the Trustees,  except that any amendment
that  adversely  effects  the rights of  shareholders  must be  approved  by the
shareholders  affected.  Each share of the Fund is subject to  redemption at any
time if the Board of Trustees  determines in its sole discretion that failure to
so redeem may have materially  adverse  consequences to all or any of the Fund's
shareholders.


         Prior to the public offering of the Fund,  Neil A. Eisner,  7435 Watson
Road, Suite 88, St. Louis, MO 63199,  purchased all of the outstanding shares of
the Fund in his IRA,  and as a result he may be deemed to control  the Fund.  As
the  controlling  shareholder,  Neil A. Eisner could  control the outcome of any
proposal  submitted to the shareholders for approval,  including  changes to the
Fund's  fundamental  policies or the terms of the management  agreement with the
advisor.  After the public offering  commences,  it is anticipated  that Neil A.
Eisner will no longer control the Fund.


     For  information  concerning  the purchase and  redemption of shares of the
Fund,  see  "How  to Buy  Shares"  and  "How to  Redeem  Shares"  in the  Fund's
Prospectus.  For a description  of the methods used to determine the share price
and value of the Fund's assets,  see  "Determination  of Net Asset Value" in the
Fund's Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT FUND INVESTMENTS AND RISK CONSIDERATIONS

         This section  contains a discussion of some of the investments the Fund
may make and some of the techniques it may use.

         A.  Equity  Securities.  Equity  securities  consist  of common  stock,
             ------------------
convertible  preferred stock,  convertible  bonds,  rights and warrants.  Common
stocks, the most familiar type,  represent an equity  (ownership)  interest in a
corporation.  Warrants are options to purchase equity  securities at a specified
price for a specific time period.  Rights are similar to warrants,  but normally
have a short  duration and are  distributed  by the issuer to its  shareholders.
Although equity  securities have a history of long-term  growth in value,  their
prices  fluctuate  based on changes in a company's  financial  condition  and on
overall market and economic conditions.  The Fund may not invest more than 5% of
its net assets in either convertible  preferred stocks or convertible bonds. The
Advisor will limit the Fund's  investment  in  convertible  securities  to those
rated A or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Rating
Group or, if unrated, of comparable quality in the opinion of the Advisor.

          B.  Foreign  Securities.  The Fund may invest  without  limitation  in
              -------------------
foreign equity  securities  including  common stock,  preferred stock and common
stock equivalents issued by foreign companies,  and American Depository Receipts
("ADRs").   ADRs  are   certificates   evidencing   ownership  of  shares  of  a
foreign-based  issue held in trust by a bank or similar  financial  institution.
They are alternatives to the direct purchase of the underlying securities in the
national  markets and  currencies.  Purchases of foreign  securities are usually
made in  foreign  currencies  and,  as a  result,  the Fund may  incur  currency
conversion costs and may be affected  favorably or unfavorably by changes in the
value of foreign currencies  against the U.S. dollar. In addition,  there may be
less  information  publicly  available about a foreign company than about a U.S.
company, and foreign companies are not generally subject to accounting, auditing
and financial reporting standards and practices  comparable to those in the U.S.
Other risks associated with investments in foreign securities include changes in
restrictions on foreign currency transactions and rates of exchanges, changes in
the  administrations  or economic and monetary policies of foreign  governments,
the imposition of exchange control regulations, the possibility of expropriation
decrees and other adverse foreign governmental action, the imposition of foreign
taxes, less liquid markets,  less government  supervision of exchanges,  brokers
and  issuers,  difficulty  in  enforcing  contractual  obligations,   delays  in
settlement of securities transactions and greater price volatility. In addition,
investing in foreign securities will generally result in higher commissions than
investing in similar domestic securities.

         C.  Restricted and Illiquid  Securities.  The portfolio of the Fund may
             -----------------------------------
contain illiquid  securities.  Illiquid securities  generally include securities
which  cannot be  disposed of promptly  and in the  ordinary  course of business
without taking a reduced price. Securities may be illiquid due to contractual or
legal restrictions on resale or lack of a ready market. The following securities
are  considered to be illiquid:  repurchase  agreements  and reverse  repurchase
agreements maturing in more than seven days,  nonpublicly offered securities and
restricted securities.  Restricted securities are securities the resale of which
is subject to legal or contractual  restrictions.  Restricted  securities may be
sold  only in  privately  negotiated  transactions,  in a public  offering  with
respect to which a registration  statement is in effect under the Securities Act
of 1933 or pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A  promulgated  under such Act. Where
registration  is  required,  the Fund may be obligated to pay all or part of the
registration  expense,  and a considerable period may elapse between the time of
the  decision to sell and the time such  security may be sold under an effective
registration  statement.  If during such a period adverse market conditions were
to develop, the Fund might obtain a less favorable price than the price it could
have obtained when it decided to sell. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of
its net assets in illiquid securities.


         With  respect  to Rule  144A  securities,  the  Fund  may  treat  these
restricted  securities  as  exempt  from the 15% limit on  illiquid  securities,
provided  that a dealer  or  institutional  trading  market  in such  securities
exists.  The Fund will not,  however  invest  more than 15% of its net assets in
Rule 144A  securities.  Under the  supervision  of the Board of  Trustees of the
Fund, the Advisor determines the liquidity of restricted securities and, through
reports from the Advisor,  the Board will monitor trading activity in restricted
securities.  If institutional  trading in restricted securities were to decline,
the liquidity of the Fund could be adversely affected.


         D. Real Estate  Investment  Trusts (REITs).  A REIT is a corporation or
            ---------------------------------------
business trust that invests substantially all of its assets in interests in real
estate.  The Fund's  investments in REITs will be those  characterized as equity
REITs.  Equity REITs are those which  purchase or lease land and  buildings  and
generate  income  primarily  from rental  income.  Equity REITs may also realize
capital  gains (or  losses)  when  selling  property  that has  appreciated  (or
depreciated) in value.  Risks associated with REIT investments  include the fact
that REITs are dependent upon  specialized  management  skills and are not fully
diversified.  These  characteristics  subject REITs to the risks associated with
financing a limited number of projects. They are also subject to heavy cash flow
dependency,  defaults by borrowers and  self-liquidation.  Additionally,  equity
REITs may be  affected by any  changes in the value of the  underlying  property
owned by the trusts.


     E.  Repurchase  Agreements.  The Fund may invest in  repurchase  agreements
          ---------------------
fully  collateralized by U.S. Government  obligations.  A
repurchase  agreement is a short-term  investment in which the purchaser  (i.e.,
the Fund) acquires  ownership of a U.S.  Government  obligation (which may be of
any maturity) and the seller  agrees to  repurchase  the  obligation at a future
time at a set  price,  thereby  determining  the yield  during  the  purchaser's
holding period (usually not more than seven days from the date of purchase). Any
repurchase   transaction   in  which  the  Fund   engages   will   require  full
collateralization  of the  seller's  obligation  during the  entire  term of the
repurchase  agreement.  In the event of a  bankruptcy  or other  default  of the
seller,  the Fund could  experience  both delays in  liquidating  the underlying
security and losses in value. However, the Fund intends to enter into repurchase
agreements  only with Star Bank, N.A. (the Fund's  Custodian),  other banks with
assets of $1 billion or more and registered securities dealers determined by the
Advisor to be  creditworthy.  The Advisor monitors the  creditworthiness  of the
banks  and  securities  dealers  with  which  the  Fund  engages  in  repurchase
transactions.


         F. Short Sales. The Fund may sell a security short in anticipation of a
            -----------
decline in the market  value of the  security.  When the Fund engages in a short
sale,  it sells a security  which it does not own. To complete the  transaction,
the Fund must borrow the security in order to deliver it to the buyer.  The Fund
must replace the borrowed  security by  purchasing it at the market price at the
time of replacement,  which may be more or less than the price at which the Fund
sold the  security.  The Fund will incur a loss as a result of the short sale if
the price of the security  increases  between the date of the short sale and the
date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed  security.  The Fund will realize a
profit if the security declines in price between those dates.


         In  connection  with its  short  sales,  the Fund will be  required  to
maintain a segregated  account  with its  Custodian of cash or high grade liquid
assets  equal to the market  value of the  securities  sold less any  collateral
deposited  with its broker.  The Fund will limit its short sales so that no more
than 25% of its net assets (less all its  liabilities  other than  obligations
under the short  sales) will be  deposited as  collateral  and  allocated to the
segregated  account.  However,  the  segregated  account and  deposits  will not
necessarily limit the Fund's potential loss on a short sale, which is unlimited.
The Fund's  policy with  respect to short sales is  non-fundamental,  and may be
changed by the Board of Trustees without the vote of the Fund's shareholders.


         G. Corporate Debt  Securities.  Corporate debt  securities are bonds or
            --------------------------
notes  issued  by  corporations  and  other  business  organizations,  including
business  trusts,  in  order to  finance  their  credit  needs.  Corporate  debt
securities  include  commercial  paper which consist of short term (usually from
one  to  two  hundred  seventy  days)  unsecured   promissory  notes  issued  by
corporations in order to finance their current operations


         The Fund may also sell a security short "against the box",  which means
that the Fund sells a security  which it owns and  therefore  the  borrowing and
segregated account provisions described above do not apply.



INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

         Fundamental.  The  investment  limitations  described  below  have been
         ------------
adopted   by  the  Trust  with   respect   to  the  Fund  and  are   fundamental
("Fundamental"), i.e., they may not be changed without the affirmative vote of a
majority of the  outstanding  shares of the Fund. As used in the  Prospectus and
this Statement of Additional Information, the term "majority" of the outstanding
shares of the Fund means the lesser of (1) 67% or more of the outstanding shares
of the  Fund  present  at a  meeting,  if the  holders  of more  than 50% of the
outstanding  shares of the Fund are present or represented  at such meeting;  or
(2) more  than 50% of the  outstanding  shares  of the  Fund.  Other  investment
practices which may be changed by the Board of Trustees  without the approval of
shareholders to the extent permitted by applicable law, regulation or regulatory
policy are considered non-fundamental ("Non-Fundamental").

         1. Borrowing Money.  The Fund will not borrow money,  except (a) from a
            ---------------
bank,  provided that immediately after such borrowing there is an asset coverage
of 300% for all  borrowings of the Fund; or (b) from a bank or other persons for
temporary  purposes  only,  provided that such  temporary  borrowings  are in an
amount  not  exceeding  5% of the  Fund's  total  assets  at the  time  when the
borrowing is made. This limitation does not preclude the Fund from entering into
reverse repurchase transactions, provided that the Fund has an asset coverage of
300% for all  borrowings  and  repurchase  commitments  of the Fund  pursuant to
reverse repurchase transactions.

         2. Senior Securities.  The Fund will not issue senior securities.  This
            -----------------
limitation is not  applicable  to  activities  that may be deemed to involve the
issuance  or sale of a senior  security  by the Fund,  provided  that the Fund's
engagement in such  activities is consistent with or permitted by the Investment
Company  Act  of  1940,  as  amended,  the  rules  and  regulations  promulgated
thereunder or interpretations  of the Securities and Exchange  Commission or its
staff.

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

         4. Real Estate.  The Fund will not  purchase or sell real estate.  This
            -----------
limitation is not applicable to investments in marketable  securities  which are
secured by or  represent  interests  in real estate.  This  limitation  does not
preclude the Fund from investing in mortgage-related  securities or investing in
companies engaged in the real estate business or that have a significant portion
of their assets in real estate (including real estate investment trusts).

         5. Commodities.  The Fund will not purchase or sell commodities  unless
            -----------
acquired as a result of  ownership  of  securities  or other  investments.  This
limitation  does not preclude  the Fund from  purchasing  or selling  options or
futures  contracts,  from investing in securities or other instruments backed by
commodities  or from  investing in companies  which are engaged in a commodities
business or have a significant portion of their assets in commodities.

         6. Loans. The Fund will not make loans to other persons,  except (a) by
            -----
loaning portfolio securities,  (b) by engaging in repurchase agreements,  or (c)
by  purchasing  nonpublicly  offered  debt  securities.  For  purposes  of  this
limitation,  the term "loans"  shall not include the purchase of a portion of an
issue of publicly distributed bonds, debentures or other securities.

         7.  Concentration.  The Fund will not  invest  25% or more of its total
             -------------
assets  in  a  particular  industry.   This  limitation  is  not  applicable  to
investments  in  obligations  issued or guaranteed by the U.S.  government,  its
agencies and instrumentalities or repurchase agreements with respect thereto.

         With  respect  to the  percentages  adopted  by the  Trust  as  maximum
limitations  on its  investment  policies and  limitations,  an excess above the
fixed percentage will not be a violation of the policy or limitation  unless the
excess results  immediately and directly from the acquisition of any security or
the action taken.  This  paragraph  does not apply to the  borrowing  policy set
forth in paragraph 1 above.

         Notwithstanding  any  of  the  foregoing  limitations,  any  investment
company, whether organized as a trust, association or corporation, or a personal
holding  company,  may be merged or consolidated  with or acquired by the Trust,
provided  that  if such  merger,  consolidation  or  acquisition  results  in an
investment in the securities of any issuer  prohibited by said  paragraphs,  the
Trust  shall,  within  ninety  days  after  the  consummation  of  such  merger,
consolidation or acquisition, dispose of all of the securities of such issuer so
acquired or such  portion  thereof as shall bring the total  investment  therein
within  the  limitations  imposed  by said  paragraphs  above  as of the date of
consummation.

     Non-Fundamental.  The following  limitations have been adopted by the Trust
     ---------------
with respect to the Fund and are Non-Fundamental  (see "Investment  Restrictions
above).

         1. Pledging. The Fund will not mortgage,  pledge, hypothecate or in any
            --------
manner transfer, as security for indebtedness,  any assets of the Fund except as
may be necessary in  connection  with  borrowings  described in  limitation  (1)
above. Margin deposits,  security interests,  liens and collateral  arrangements
with respect to transactions involving options,  futures contracts,  short sales
and other permitted  investments and techniques are not deemed to be a mortgage,
pledge or hypothecation of assets for purposes of this limitation.

         2. Borrowing.  The Fund will not purchase any security while borrowings
            ---------
(including reverse repurchase agreements) representing more than 5% of its total
assets are outstanding.

         3. Margin Purchases. The Fund will not purchase securities or evidences
            ----------------
of interest thereon on "margin." This limitation is not applicable to short term
credit  obtained  by the  Fund  for the  clearance  of  purchases  and  sales or
redemption  of  securities,  or to  arrangements  with  respect to  transactions
involving  options,   futures   contracts,   short  sales  and  other  permitted
investments and techniques.

         4. Illiquid Investments.  The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its
            --------------------
net assets in securities for which there are legal or  contractual  restrictions
on resale and other illiquid securities.

         5. Loans of  Portfolio  Securities.  The Fund  will not make  loans of
            -------------------------------
portfolio securities.

THE INVESTMENT ADVISOR


         The Fund's investment  advisor is EC Advisors,  Inc., 7435 Watson Road,
Suite 88, St. Louis,  MO 63119.  Neil A. Eisner,  President of the Advisor,  and
Clayton M. Christensen are the controlling shareholders of the Advisor.



         Under the terms of the  management  agreement  (the  "Agreement"),  the
Advisor  manages  the Fund's  investments  subject to  approval  of the Board of
Trustees  and pays all of the  expenses  of the Fund  except  brokerage,  taxes,
borrowing  costs (such as  interest  and  dividend  expense of  securities  sold
short), fees and expenses of the non-interested  person trustees,  extraordinary
expenses  and  expenses  incurred  pursuant to Rule 12b-1  under the  Investment
Company Act of 1940. As compensation  for its management  services and agreement
to pay the  Fund's  expenses,  the Fund is  obligated  to pay the  Advisor a fee
computed  and accrued  daily and paid  monthly at an annual rate of 1.50% of the
average  daily net assets of the Fund.  The Advisor may waive all or part of its
fee, at any time, and at its sole discretion, but such action shall not obligate
the Advisor to waive any fees in the future.



         The  Advisor  retains  the  right  to  use  the  names  Innovative  and
Disruptive in connection with another investment company or business  enterprise
with which the Advisor is or may become associated. The Trust's right to use the
names  Innovative  and  Disruptive   automatically   ceases  ninety  days  after
termination  of the Agreement and may be withdrawn by the Advisor on ninety days
written notice.



         The Advisor may make payments to banks or other financial  institutions
that provide shareholder services and administer shareholder accounts. If a bank
or other financial institution were prohibited from continuing to perform all or
a part of such services,  management of the Fund believes that there would be no
material  impact  on the  Fund  or its  shareholders.  Banks  may  charge  their
customers fees for offering these services to the extent permitted by applicable
regulatory  authorities,  and the overall return to those shareholders  availing
themselves of the bank services will be lower than to those  shareholders who do
not. The Fund may from time to time  purchase  securities  issued by banks which
provide such  services;  however,  in  selecting  investments  for the Fund,  no
preference will be shown for such securities.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND BROKERAGE


         Subject to policies  established by the Board of Trustees of the Trust,
the Advisor is responsible for the Fund's portfolio decisions and the placing of
the Fund's  portfolio  transactions.  In  placing  portfolio  transactions,  the
Advisor seeks the best qualitative  execution for the Fund,  taking into account
such factors as price (including the applicable  brokerage  commission or dealer
spread), the execution capability,  financial  responsibility and responsiveness
of the broker or dealer and the brokerage and research  services provided by the
broker or dealer.  The Advisor  generally seeks favorable  prices and commission
rates that are reasonable in relation to the benefits received.  Consistent with
the Rules of Fair Practice of the National  Association  of Securities  Dealers,
Inc., and subject to its obligation of seeking best qualitative  execution,  the
Fund's  Advisor  may give  consideration  to sales of  shares  of the Trust as a
factor  in  the   selection   of  brokers  and  dealers  to  execute   portfolio
transactions.


         The Advisor is specifically authorized to select brokers or dealers who
also  provide  brokerage  and  research  services  to the Fund  and/or the other
accounts over which the Advisor exercises investment  discretion and to pay such
brokers or dealers a commission in excess of the  commission  another  broker or
dealer would charge if the Advisor  determines in good faith that the commission
is reasonable  in relation to the value of the  brokerage and research  services
provided.  The determination may be viewed in terms of a particular  transaction
or the Advisor's overall responsibilities with respect to the Trust and to other
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion.

         Research  services  include  supplemental   research,   securities  and
economic  analyses,  statistical  services and  information  with respect to the
availability  of securities or purchasers or sellers of securities  and analyses
of reports concerning  performance of accounts.  The research services and other
information  furnished  by  brokers  through  whom the Fund  effects  securities
transactions  may also be used by the Advisor in servicing  all of its accounts.
Similarly, research and information provided by brokers or dealers serving other
clients  may be useful to the  Advisor in  connection  with its  services to the
Fund.  Although  research  services and other information are useful to the Fund
and the Advisor,  it is not possible to place a dollar value on the research and
other information  received.  It is the opinion of the Board of Trustees and the
Advisor that the review and study of the research and other information will not
reduce the  overall  cost to the  Advisor of  performing  its duties to the Fund
under the Agreement.

         Over-the-counter  transactions  will be  placed  either  directly  with
principal market makers or with  broker-dealers,  if the same or a better price,
including commissions and executions, is available.  Fixed income securities are
normally  purchased  directly from the issuer, an underwriter or a market maker.
Purchases  include a concession  paid by the issuer to the  underwriter  and the
purchase price paid to a market maker may include the spread between the bid and
asked prices.

         To the extent that the Trust and another of the Advisor's clients seek
to acquire the same  security at about the same time,  the Trust may not be able
to acquire as large a position in such  security as it desires or it may have to
pay a higher  price for the  security.  Similarly,  the Trust may not be able to
obtain  as large  an  execution  of an order to sell or as high a price  for any
particular  portfolio  security  if the other  client  desires  to sell the same
portfolio  security at the same time. On the other hand, if the same  securities
are  bought  or sold at the same  time by more than one  client,  the  resulting
participation  in volume  transactions  could produce better  executions for the
Trust. In the event that more than one client wants to purchase or sell the same
security  on a given  date,  the  purchases  and sales will  normally be made by
random client selection.


<PAGE>




DETERMINATION OF SHARE PRICE

         The price (net asset value) of the shares of the Fund is  determined as
of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time on each day the Trust is open for business and on any
other day on which  there is  sufficient  trading  in the Fund's  securities  to
materially  affect the net asset value.  The Trust is open for business on every
day except Saturdays, Sundays and the following holidays: New Year's Day, Martin
Luther King, Jr. Day, President's Day, Good Friday,  Memorial Day,  Independence
Day, Labor Day,  Thanksgiving  and  Christmas.  For a description of the methods
used to determine the net asset value (share price),  see  "Determination of Net
Asset Value" in the Prospectus.


         Securities   which  are  traded  on  any  exchange  or  on  the  NASDAQ
over-the-counter market are valued at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last
sale  price,  a security  is valued at its last bid price  except  when,  in the
Fund's  Advisor's  opinion,  the last bid price does not accurately  reflect the
current value of the security.  All other securities for which  over-the-counter
market quotations are readily available are valued at their last bid price. When
market quotations are not readily available,  when the Fund's Advisor determines
the last bid  price  does  not  accurately  reflect  the  current  value or when
restricted securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined
in good faith by the Fund's Advisor,  subject to review of the Board of Trustees
of the Trust.



         Fixed  income   securities   generally   are  valued  by  using  market
quotations,  but may be valued on the  basis of  prices  furnished  by a pricing
service when the Fund's Advisor believes such prices accurately reflect the fair
market value of such  securities.  A pricing  service  utilizes  electronic data
processing techniques based on yield spreads relating to securities with similar
characteristics to determine prices for normal institutional-size  trading units
of debt  securities  without  regard to sale or bid prices.  When prices are not
readily  available  from a  pricing  service,  or when  restricted  or  illiquid
securities  are being valued,  securities are valued at fair value as determined
in good faith by the Fund's Advisor, subject to review of the Board of Trustees.
Short term  investments in fixed income  securities with maturities of less than
60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are
valued by using the  amortized  cost  method of  valuation,  which the Board has
determined will represent fair value.


INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

          The Fund may  periodically  advertise  "average  annual total return."
"Average  annual  total  return,"  as defined  by the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission, is computed by finding the average annual compounded rates of return
for the period  indicated that would equate the initial  amount  invested to the
ending redeemable value, according to the following formula:

                                  P(1+T)n=ERV

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

The computation  assumes that all dividends and  distributions are reinvested at
the net asset  value on the  reinvestment  dates and that a complete  redemption
occurs at the end of the applicable period.

         In addition to providing average annual total return, the Fund may also
provide  non-standardized  quotations of total return for differing  periods and
may provide the value of a $10,000  investment  (made on the date of the initial
public offering of the Fund's shares) as of the end of a specified period.

         The Fund's  investment  performance  will vary  depending  upon  market
conditions,  the composition of the Fund's  portfolio and operating  expenses of
the Fund. These factors and possible differences in the methods and time periods
used in calculating non-standardized investment performance should be considered
when comparing the Fund's performance to those of other investment  companies or
investment vehicles.  The risks associated with the Fund's investment objective,
policies and techniques  should also be  considered.  At any time in the future,
investment  performance may be higher or lower than past performance,  and there
can be no assurance that any performance will continue.

         From time to time, in advertisements,  sales literature and information
furnished to present or prospective  shareholders,  the  performance of the Fund
may be compared to indices of broad groups of unmanaged securities considered to
be  representative  of or  similar  to the  portfolio  holdings  of the  Fund or
considered to be representative of the stock market in general. The Fund may use
the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index or the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

         In  addition,  the  performance  of the Fund may be  compared  to other
groups of mutual  funds  tracked by any widely used  independent  research  firm
which ranks  mutual  funds by overall  performance,  investment  objectives  and
assets,  such as Lipper  Analytical  Services,  Inc. or  Morningstar,  Inc.  The

The Innovative Funds:

We have  audited the  accompanying  statement of assets and  liabilities  of The
Innovative  Funds  (comprised of the Disruptive  Growth Fund) as of February 22,

management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion  on this  financial
statement 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 assets and  liabilities  is free of
material  misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the  amounts  and   disclosures  in  the  statement  of  assets  and
liabilities. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant  estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall
statement  of assets  and  liabilities  presentation.  Our  procedures  included
confirmation  of  cash  held  by the  custodian  as of  February  22,  2000,  by
correspondence  with the  custodian.  We  believe  that  our  audit  provides  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our  opinion,  the  statement  of assets and  liabilities  referred  to above
presents  fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of the
Disruptive  Growth Fund as of February 22, 2000,  in conformity  with  generally
