Dear Sirs:
Pursuant to Rule 497(j) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), Venus Series Trust (the "Trust") hereby certifies that its Prospectus
for the India Technology Fund, a series of the Trust, which would have been
filed pursuant to Rule 497(c) of the Act does not differ from the Prospectus
contained in Pre-Effective Amendment No. 3 to its Registration Statement filed
on Form N-1A on April 25, 2000 (which was the most recent amendment that was
electronically filed), except that the "red herring" legend has been removed
from the Prospectus and the Prospectus has been dated April 25, 2000 to reflect
that the Registration Statement was declared effective on April 25, 2000.
