FUND OVERVIEW

WHAT ARE THE OBJECTIVE AND PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES OF THE e-HARMON
INTERNET FUND?

e-HARMON INTERNET FUND seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests at
least 65% of its total assets in equity securities of Internet companies. In
addition, the Fund can invest in derivatives of equity securities. e-harmon
Capital Management LLC, the Fund's investment adviser, decides where to invest
the Fund's assets based on its research of attractive opportunities in the
Internet sector. Some of the key Internet industry segments in which the Fund is
likely to invest include:

     o   e-COMMERCE - companies directly or indirectly involved in the
         buying and selling of products and services over the Internet

     o   BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS (B2B) - companies that engage in or enable
         corporate commercial transactions via the Internet

     o   BROADBAND - companies that design and develop products and
         services that enable highspeed Internet infrastructure

     o   ACCESS - Internet service providers (ISPs) and companies that
         enable access to the Internet

     o   SERVICES - Firms that provide corporations with professional and
         information services related to the Internet

     o   SOFTWARE - developers of applications that enable a variety of
         Internet business activities, including, for example, electronic
         commerce, communications, content provision, and web development

     o   HARDWARE - computer, digital and electronic products designed and
         developed to enable Internet business activities, products, and
         services

The Fund may invest in Internet companies in industry segments not included in
the list above.

Stock selection is based on research that assesses a company's fundamental
prospects. The Fund can buy everything from small companies developing new
technologies to mature firms with established track records of developing and
marketing technological advances. The Fund also may invest in companies that
could benefit from technological advances even if they are not directly involved
in research and development. The Fund may sell securities for a variety of
reasons, such as to lock-in gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into more
promising opportunities.

WHAT IS AN INTERNET COMPANY?

The Adviser considers an Internet company to be one that receives more than 50%
of its revenue from Internet related business activities. These activities
include, the research, development, production, sale or distribution of
technology and products related to the Internet, and the development, delivery,
sale or distribution of services or processes related to the Internet.




                                       1
<PAGE>   5




WHAT ARE THE MAIN RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

Market Risk. As with all equity funds, the Fund's share price may decline
because of weakness in the broad market, the Internet sector, other technology
sectors, a particular industry, or specific holdings. The equity market as a
whole may decline for many reasons, including adverse political or economic
developments here or abroad, changes in investor psychology, or heavy
institutional selling. The prospects for an industry or company may deteriorate
because of a variety of factors, including earnings surprises or changes in the
competitive environment. The Adviser's analyses of companies held in the Funds
may prove wrong, resulting in losses or poor performance even in a rising
market.

Technology and Research Companies. The Fund's investment strategies pose
investment risks specific to the Internet sector. Companies in the rapidly
changing Internet industry may face unusually high price volatility, both gains
and losses. The potential for wide variation in performance is based on the
special risks common to these stocks. For example, products or services that at
first appear promising may not prove commercially successful or may become
obsolete quickly. Also, increasing competition, rapidly changing markets,
frequent mergers or acquisitions of Internet companies and changes in strategic
alliances among various Internet businesses may have a significant effect on the
financial condition of companies in the Internet industry. Changes in government
policies, such as telephone and cable regulations and antitrust enforcement and
the need for regulatory approvals, can also have a material effect on the
companies in the industry. A portfolio focused primarily on these stocks is
therefore likely to be much more volatile than one with broader diversification
that includes investments in more economic sectors.

Small Companies. To the extent that the Fund has significant investments in
smaller companies or those with less than three years of operating history,
which may not have established products or more experienced management, the
level of risk will be increased. This Fund may invest in smaller capitalization
firms and have higher share price volatility than funds that invest only in
larger capitalization, more established companies.

IPOs. e-harmon Internet Fund may participate in the initial public offering
(IPO) market. IPOs may significantly increase the Fund's total returns during
any period that the Fund has a small asset base. On the other hand, investments
in IPOs that are not successful can have a significant negative effect on the
Fund's total return. As the Fund's assets grow, any impact of IPO investments on
the Fund's total return may decline.

Derivatives. The Fund may use various derivative strategies. These strategies
may improve the Fund's returns or protect its assets. However, instruments
necessary to implement these strategies may not always be available, and these
strategies may not work. Derivatives, which include futures, options and options
on futures, also involve costs and can be volatile.

Non-diversification. The Fund is non-diversified under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, which means that there is no restriction under the 1940 Act on how
much the Fund may invest in the securities of any one issuer. However, in order
to qualify for certain tax treatment the Fund



                                       2
<PAGE>   6



will not invest more than 25% of total assets in any one issuer. See "Investment
Policies and Strategies - Non-Diversification." Accordingly, the Fund may be
more susceptible to the effects of adverse economic, political or regulatory
developments affecting a single issuer or industry sector than funds that are
diversified.

Mutual fund shares are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed by, any
depository institution. Shares are not insured by the FDIC, Federal Reserve, or
any other government agency, and are subject to investment risks, including
possible loss of the principal amount invested.

As with any mutual fund, there can be no guarantee the Fund will achieve its
objective. The Fund's share price may decline, so when you sell your shares, you
may lose money. The Fund is not a complete investment program.

The Fund can be used in both regular and tax-deferred accounts, such as IRAs.
See "Distributions and Taxes."

HOW CAN YOU TELL IF THE FUND MAY BE AN APPROPRIATE INVESTMENT?

         The Fund may be appropriate if you have:

                  o        a long-term investment time horizon

                  o        familiarity with Internet stocks

                  o        tolerance for fluctuations in stock valuations and
                           prices

                  o        no intention to actively trade mutual fund shares

         The Fund is not appropriate if you have:

                  o        a short-term investment time horizon

                  o        little knowledge of Internet stocks

                  o        aversion to fluctuations in stock valuations and
                           prices

                  o        an intention to actively trade mutual fund shares

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND STRATEGIES

In pursuit of its investment objective, the Fund may invest in a variety of
securities and use a variety of investment practices. The section below
describes some of the types of securities and strategies that the Adviser may
use in its day-to-day management of the Fund's assets.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

e-harmon Internet Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets in the
equity securities of Internet companies. The Adviser considers an Internet
company to be one that receives more than 50% of its revenue from Internet
related business activities. These activities include, the research,
development, production, sale or distribution of technology and products related
to the Internet, and the development, delivery, sale or distribution of services
or processes related to the Internet.

e-harmon Capital Management LLC, the Fund's investment adviser, decides where to
invest the Fund's assets based on its research of attractive opportunities in
the Internet sector. Some of the key Internet industry segments in which the
Fund is likely to invest include:

                  o        E-COMMERCE - companies directly or indirectly
                           involved in the buying and selling of products and
                           services over the Internet

                  o        BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS (B2B) - companies that engage in
                           or enable corporate commercial transactions via the
                           Internet




                                       6
<PAGE>   10

     o   BROADBAND - companies that design and develop products and
         services that enable highspeed Internet infrastructure

     o   ACCESS - Internet service providers (ISPs) and companies that
         enable access to the Internet

     o   SERVICES - firms that provide corporations with professional and
         information services related to the Internet

     o   SOFTWARE - developers of applications that enable a variety of
         Internet business activities, including, for example, electronic
         commerce, communications, content provision, and web development

     o   HARDWARE - computer, digital and electronic products designed and
         developed to enable Internet business activities, products, and
         services

The Fund may invest in Internet companies in industry segments not included in
the list above.

Equity securities include common stocks, non-convertible preferred stocks,
securities convertible or exchangeable for common stocks or preferred stocks,
equity investments in partnerships, joint ventures and other forms of
non-corporate investments, American Depository Receipts, American Depository
Shares, and warrants and rights exercisable for equity securities.

In addition to the above strategies, the Fund can invest in derivatives of
equity securities, including futures, stock index futures, options and options
on futures for hedging purposes.

DERIVATIVES

Futures Contracts and Related Options; Foreign Currency Forward Contracts. The
Fund may invest up to 25% of net assets in financial futures contracts and
related options on equity securities and indices of equity securities. A
financial futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a set quantity of an
underlying financial instruments at a future date or to make or receive a cash
payment based on the value of the instrument where it is a securities index. The
Fund also may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to seek to protect
the value of its assets against future changes in the level of foreign currency
exchange rates. A foreign currency forward contract is an obligation to buy or
sell a given currency on a future date at a set price.

Securities Options. The Fund may write (sell) covered call options, including
those that trade in the OTC market, to seek to provide a hedge against declines
in the market value of its portfolio securities. The Fund may write covered call
options on securities comprising no more than 5% of the Fund's net assets at the
time of any writing. The writing of call options is subject to various risks,
including the risk that the Fund will not be able to participate in any
appreciation in the value of the underlying securities above the exercise price.
The Fund may also purchase and write (sell) listed call options provided that
the value of the call options outstanding at any time will not exceed 5% of the
Fund's net assets. The Fund may buy call and put options on stock indices to
seek to hedge against the risk of market or industry-wide stock price
fluctuations.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND

When you own shares of the Fund, you not only have the ability to participate in
potential increases in share value, you also bear the risk that the value of the
Fund's shares may decline. This section discusses some of the special risks
associated with an investment in the Fund.

INTERNET COMPANIES. The Fund will invest primarily in companies engaged in
Internet related business activities. The value of such companies is
particularly vulnerable to rapidly changing technology, government regulation
and relatively high risks of obsolescence caused by scientific and technological
advances. The Fund may involve significantly greater risks and therefore may
experience greater volatility than a mutual fund that does not concentrate its
investments in one industry.

TECHNOLOGY AND RESEARCH COMPANIES AND CURRENCY RISK. The Fund expects to invest
a portion of its assets in securities of companies involved in computing
technologies, or communication technologies (collectively, "technology
sectors"). Typically, these companies' products or services compete on a global,
rather than a predominately domestic or regional basis. The technology sectors
historically have been volatile and securities of companies in these sectors may
be subject to abrupt or erratic price movements. The Adviser will seek to reduce
such risks through extensive research and emphasis on more globally competitive
companies. In addition, because these companies compete globally, the securities
of these companies may be subject to fluctuations in value due to the effect of
changes in the relative values of currencies on such




                                       7
<PAGE>   11

companies' businesses. The history of these markets reflects both decreases and
increases in worldwide currency valuations, and these may reoccur unpredictably
in the future.

SMALL COMPANIES. The Fund may invest in companies with small market
capitalizations (i.e., less than $500 million) or companies that have limited
product lines or a small share of the market for their products or services
(collectively, "small companies"). Small companies may lack depth of management,
may be unable to internally generate funds necessary for growth or potential
development or to generate such funds through external financing on favorable
terms, and they may be developing or marketing new products or services for
which markets are not yet established and may never become established. Due to
these and other factors, small companies may suffer significant losses, as well
as realize substantial growth. Securities of small companies present greater
risks than securities of larger, more established companies. Historically,
stocks of small companies have been more volatile than stocks of larger
companies and are, therefore, riskier than investments in larger companies.
Among the reasons for the greater price volatility are the less certain growth
prospects of smaller companies, the lower degree of liquidity in the markets for
such stocks, and the greater sensitivity of small companies to changing economic
conditions. Besides exhibiting greater volatility, small company stocks may, to
a degree, fluctuate independently of larger company stocks. Small company stocks
may decline in price as large company stocks increase; or increase in price as
large company stocks decline. Therefore, the value of the e-harmon Internet Fund
shares may be more volatile than the shares of a mutual fund that invests
primarily in larger company stocks.

NON-DIVERSIFICATION. The Fund is non-diversified under the 1940 Act, which means
that there is no restriction on how much the Fund may invest in the securities
of any one issuer. However, to qualify for tax treatment as a regulated
investment company under the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"), the Fund intends to
comply, as of the end of each taxable quarter, with certain diversification
requirements imposed by the Code. Pursuant to these requirements, the Fund will,
among other things, limit its investments in the securities of any one issuer
(with some exceptions) to no more than 25% of the value of the Fund's total
assets. In addition, the Fund, with respect to 50% of its total assets, will
limit its investments in the securities of any issuer to 5% of the Fund's total
assets, and will not purchase more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities
of any one issuer. Nevertheless, as a general matter, the Fund may be more
susceptible than a diversified mutual fund to the effects of adverse economic,
political or regulatory developments affecting a single issuer or industry
sector in which the Fund may have investments.

Risks of Derivatives. The Fund's risk is mostly dependent on the types of
securities it purchases and its investment techniques. The use of derivative
instruments exposes the Fund to additional risks and transaction costs. Risks
inherent in the use of derivative instruments include:

     o   movements in interest rates, securities prices and currency markets
         that are counter to the direction that a portfolio manager anticipates

     o   imperfect correlation between the price of derivative instruments and
         movements in the prices of the securities, interest rates or currencies
         being hedged

     o   the skills needed to use these strategies are different than those
         needed to select portfolio securities

     o   inability to close out certain hedged positions to avoid adverse tax
         consequences

     o   absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument and
         exchange-imposed price fluctuation limits, either of which may make it
         difficult or impossible to close out a position when desired

     o   adverse price movements in an instrument can result in a loss
         substantially greater than the Fund's initial investment in that
         instrument (that is, leverage risk)

     o   the risk that the counterparty will not perform its obligations,
         particularly in the case of privately-negotiated instruments, which
         could leave the Fund worse off than if it had not entered into the
         position.

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS

ILLIQUID SECURITIES. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid
securities. Illiquid securities are securities for which there is no ready
market (which inhibits the ability to sell them and obtain their full market
value) or which are legally restricted as to their resale by the Fund.

Risks. To the extent that the Fund invests in illiquid securities, the Fund may
not be able to sell securities at the time and the price that it would like. The
Fund may therefore have to lower the price, sell substitute securities or forego
an investment opportunity, each of which might adversely affect the Fund.




                                       9
<PAGE>   13



FOREIGN INVESTMENTS. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in
securities of foreign issuers or securities that are principally traded in
foreign markets ("foreign securities"). When foreign investments are made, the
Adviser will attempt to take advantage of differences between economic trends
and the performance of securities markets in various countries to maximize
investment performance. In most instances, foreign investments will be made in
companies principally based in developed countries. Investments in foreign
securities may be made through the purchase of individual securities on
recognized exchanges and developed over-the-counter markets. To attempt to
reduce exposure to currency fluctuations, the Fund may trade in foreign currency
forward contracts, currency futures contracts and options thereon and securities
indexed to foreign securities. The Fund may also invest in American Depository
Receipts and American Depository Shares that the Adviser does not consider to be
foreign securities.


Risks. There are certain risks and costs involved in investing in securities of
foreign companies, such as outlined below.

     o   foreign companies are not generally subject to the uniform accounting,
         auditing and financial reporting standards and practices applicable to
         U.S. companies; and there may be less public information available
         about foreign companies than is available about U.S. companies

     o   foreign markets have less volume than U.S. markets, and the securities
         of some foreign companies are less liquid and more volatile than the
         securities of comparable U.S. companies

     o   there may be less government regulation of stock exchanges, brokers,
         listed companies and banks in foreign countries than in the United
         States

     o   the Fund may incur fees on currency exchanges when it changes
         investments from one currency to another

     o   the Fund's foreign investments could be affected by expropriation,
         confiscatory taxation, nationalization of bank deposits, establishment
         of exchange controls, political or social instability or diplomatic
         developments

     o   fluctuations in foreign exchange rates will affect the value of the
         Fund's portfolio securities, the value of dividends and interest
         earned, gains and loses realized on the sale of securities, net
         investment income and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of
         investments

     o   possible imposition of dividend or interest withholding by a foreign
         country

U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. The Fund may invest in U.S. Government securities,
including, U.S. Treasury obligations such as Treasury Bills (maturities of one
year or less) or Treasury Notes (maturities of less than three years).

Risks. The market value of U.S. Government securities will fluctuate with
changes in interest rate levels. Thus, if interest rates increase from the time
the security was purchased, the market value of the security will decrease.
Conversely, if interest rates decrease, the market value of the security will
increase.

<PAGE>   14




TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE INVESTMENTS AND CASH MANAGEMENT. Under normal circumstances
the Fund may make investments in corporate debt securities, commercial paper,
certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and time deposits of U.S. or
foreign banks, obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and its
agencies and foreign governments and their agencies. In response to adverse
market, economic or political conditions, the Fund may temporarily invest up to
100% of the Fund's assets in money market instruments or hold cash.

Risks. Investing heavily in these securities limits our ability to achieve the
Fund's investment objectives, but can help preserve the Fund's assets when the
markets are volatile.

BORROWING. The Fund may borrow money from banks and make other investments or
engage in other transactions permissible under the 1940 Act which may be
considered a borrowing. However, the Fund will not purchase securities when bank
borrowings exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets. Presently, the Fund only
intends to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes.

LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. The Fund may lend securities to broker-dealers,
other institutions, or other persons to earn additional income.

Risks. The principal risk is the potential insolvency of the broker-dealer or
other borrower. In this event, the Fund could experience delays in recovering
its securities and possibly capital losses.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, where a
party agrees to sell a security to the Fund and then repurchase it at an
agreed-upon price at a stated time. This creates a fixed return for the Fund and
is, in effect, a loan by the Fund. The Fund's repurchase agreements will be
collateralized.

Risks. If the seller of the repurchase agreement defaults and the value of the
collateral securing the repurchase agreement declines, the Fund may incur a
loss.

                            BUYING AND SELLING SHARES

After you have read this prospectus carefully, here is what you need to know
about buying and selling shares of the e-harmon Internet Fund. Currently, the
Fund only offer Class A shares. There is no initial sales charge for Class A
shares obtained through divided reinvestment or capital gain distributions.

CLASS A SHARES

INVESTING DIRECTLY THROUGH THE DISTRIBUTOR

If you choose to make your own investment decisions, you may purchase Class A
shares directly with the Fund through the Distributor via the Internet, by mail
or other direct means without paying the initial sales charge by following the
procedures described below. Subsequent purchases of Class A shares for accounts
initially established by direct purchase through the




                                       11
<PAGE>   15



Distributor will also be made without paying any initial sales charge as long as
the additional purchases are directly with the Funds through the Distributor.

INVESTING THROUGH AN AUTHORIZED FIRM

Class A shares purchased through an Authorized Firm may be appropriate for
long-term investors who compensate their investment professional for the
services they provide with traditional front-end sales charges. If you invest
through an Authorized Firm, you buy Class A shares at the offering price, which
is the net asset value per share plus an up-front sales charge. There is no
up-front sales charge on Class A shares obtained through reinvested dividends
and capital gain distributions. You may qualify for a reduced sales charge, or
the sales charge may be waived, as described below.

SALES CHARGES

The up-front Class A sales charge is as follows:

The Fund offers a number of ways to reduce or eliminate the up-front sales
charge on Class A Shares. You and your investment professional must notify the
Fund at the time of each purchase if you are eligible for any of these programs.

     Reduced Sales Charges for Class A Shares

o    Right of Accumulation. You may group prior investments made by you and/or
     members of your immediate family in Class A shares of the Fund to count
     towards volume discounts on new purchases.

o    Letter of Intent Purchases. If you intend to make purchases in the Fund of
     over $50,000 within a 13 month period, you may sign a letter of intent and
     receive a volume discount on each purchase as if you were making a single
     purchase. You must complete the Letter of Intent section of the Account
     Application. If you fail to fulfill the Letter of Intent, the higher sales
     charge applicable to your investment will be assessed retroactively. The
     Fund's transfer agent will hold a portion of your shares in escrow, which
     will be used to pay the applicable sales charge if the Letter of Intent is
     not fulfilled.

         Sales Charge Waivers for Class A Shares

The sales charge on Class A shares is waived if the purchase:

o    is made directly with the Fund through the Distributor

o    is made for individual accounts of certain registered personnel and
     employees of Authorized Firms, their spouses, children, grandchildren and
     parents, in accordance with the internal policies of the employing
     Authorized Firm

o    is made by state and local government entities that are prohibited from
     paying mutual fund sales charges

o    is made by registered investment companies

o    is made by trustees and officers of the Fund, employees of and counsel for
     the Adviser, employees of service providers of the Fund, and each of their
     affiliates and their spouses, children, grandchildren and parents, in
     accordance with the internal policies and procedures of their respective
     employers

o    is made by private partnerships managed by the Adviser

o    is made for a retirement plan (other than an IRA, SIMPLE IRA, SEP or SARSEP
     or a plan covering self employed individuals and their employees (formerly
     Keough/H.R. 10 plans))

BEFORE YOU INVEST

ACCOUNT REGISTRATION

When purchasing shares, you need to select the appropriate form of account
registration. There are many different types of mutual fund ownership. How you
register your account with the Fund can affect your legal interests, as well as
the rights and interests of your family and beneficiaries. You should always
consult with your legal and/or tax adviser to determine what form of account
registration best meets your needs.

Available forms of registration include:

     o    Individual ownership. If you have reached the legal age of majority in
          your state of residence, you may open an individual account.

     o    Joint ownership. Two or more individuals may open an account together
          as joint tenants with right of survivorship, tenants in common or as
          community property.

     o    Custodial account. You may open an account for a minor under the
          Uniform Gift to Minors Act/Uniform Transfers to Minors Act for your
          state of residence.

     o    Business/trust ownership. Corporations, trusts, charitable
          organizations and other businesses may open accounts.


ACCOUNT MINIMUMS

You also need to decide how much money to invest. The following chart shows you

o    receive shareholder documents online

o    view account information, such as balances, positions, and transaction
     history online

HOW SHARES ARE PRICED

The Fund prices your transaction at the next net asset value ("NAV") determined
after the Fund receives your request in good order, together with the funds
necessary for the transaction. See "Other Buying and Selling Considerations" on
page __ for a definition of "good order." When purchasing shares, the price you
receive is the next determined net asset value plus the applicable sales charge.
When redeeming shares, the price you receive is the next determined net asset
value less any applicable redemption fee. The Fund calculates NAV by taking the
total value of its assets, subtracting its liabilities, and dividing the total
by the number of Fund shares that are outstanding. NAV is determined separately
for each class of shares.

NAV is calculated at the close of regular trading (generally 3:00 p.m. Central
time) each day the New York Stock Exchange is open. The Exchange is closed on
weekends and most national holidays. Because the Fund can invest in foreign
securities, the NAV can change on days when you cannot buy or sell shares.

If the transfer agent (or other financial intermediary with the authority to
accept orders on the Fund's behalf) receives your buy or sell request in good
order before the close of regular trading on the Exchange, you will pay or
receive that day's NAV less any applicable sales charges, or redemption fees. If
the transfer agent (or other financial intermediary with the authority to accept
orders on the Fund's behalf) receives your buy or sell request in good order
after the close of regular trading on the NYSE, you will pay or receive the next
determined NAV less any applicable sales charges or redemption fees. Shares
purchased by wire will receive the NAV next determined after the Fund receives
your completed application, the wired funds and all required information is
provided in the wire instructions.

Details on how to open an account and take advantage of online services are
described below.


OPENING AND ADDING TO AN ACCOUNT

MORE YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BUYING SHARES

         Accepting orders. The Fund must receive a properly completed New
Account Application before an initial investment can be made and your account
opened. The Fund may return incomplete applications or checks. Once you place
your order, you may not cancel or revoke it. The Fund may reject any purchase
order or refuse a telephone transaction at any time. The Fund will not accept an
account if you are investing for another person as attorney-in-fact, or an
account with "Power of Attorney" or "POA" in the new Account Application's
registration section.

                                       17

         Certificates. The Fund does not issue stock certificates. You will
receive a statement confirming your purchase.

         Returned checks/insufficient funds, etc. You will be charged a $20
service fee against your account for any check returned or for any incomplete
ACH or other electronic transfer of funds, or for insufficient funds, stop
payment, closed account or other reasons. YOUR PURCHASE WILL BE CANCELLED, AND
YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY RESULTING LOSS TO THE FUND. The Fund may redeem
shares you own in this or another identically registered Fund account as
reimbursement for any such losses. The Fund will bear the loss to the extent it
cannot recover from the investor.


         Purchases Through Authorized Firms. If you buy shares through an
Authorized Firm, their policies may differ from those described here and they
may charge you fees in addition to those described in this prospectus. The Fund
may accept requests to buy additional shares into an Authorized Firm's street
name account only from the Authorized Firm.

         The Fund may authorize service providers and their designees to accept
purchase orders on the Fund's behalf. The Fund considers such orders received
when the service provider accepts them, and prices them at the offering price
calculated after receipt by the service provider.

         The Fund has agreed to allow some service providers to enter purchase
orders for their customers by telephone, with payment to follow. The Fund prices
these telephone orders at the offering price next calculated after the service
provider receives them. The service provider is responsible for placing the
orders promptly and for ensuring that the Fund receives payment within the
agreed-upon period. Otherwise, the provider could be liable for resulting fees
or losses. The Fund will bear the loss to the extent it cannot recover from the
provider.

         Other Purchase Considerations.

o    You must provide the Fund with a Social Security Number or Taxpayer
     Identification Number before your account can be established. If you do not
     certify the accuracy of your Social Security or Taxpayer Identification
     Number on your account application, the Fund will be required to withhold
     federal income tax at a rate of 31% from all of your dividends, capital
     gain distributions and redemptions.

o    The Fund is only offered and sold to residents of the United States.
     Your application will be accepted only if it contains a U.S. address. This
     prospectus should not be considered a solicitation to buy or an offer to
     sell shares of the Fund in any jurisdiction where it would be unlawful to
     do so under the securities laws of that jurisdiction.

SELLING SHARES

You may sell your shares on any day the Fund is open for business by following
the instructions below. Note that when you sell shares, you may realize a
capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes.

Shares purchased through an investment professional must be redeemed by the
investment professional if the professional is the shareholder of record. You
should contact your investment professional for instructions on redeeming
shares. If you purchased shares directly with the Fund, you may redeem those
shares using any of the methods described below.

VIA INTERNET

o    You may redeem shares through the Fund's website at www.e-harmon.com.
     To establish online privileges you must enroll through the Website. You
     automatically have the ability to establish online transaction privileges
     unless you decline them on your account application or by calling
     1-800-392-6563. For important information on this feature, see
     "Transactions Through the Fund's Website."

BY MAIL:

o    Send a letter of instruction that includes your account number, the
     Fund name, the dollar value or number of shares you want to sell, and how
     and where to send the proceeds.

o    Sign the request exactly as the shares are registered. All registered
         owners must sign.

o    Include a signature guarantee, if necessary (see "Signature Guarantees"
     below).

BY OVERNIGHT COURIER, SEND TO:

207 E. Buffalo Street
Suite 315
Milwaukee, WI 53202

BY TELEPHONE:

o    You automatically have the privilege to redeem shares by telephone
     unless you declined this option on your account application.

o    Call 1-800-392-6563 between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Eastern time. You may
     redeem as little as $500 and as much as $50,000 by telephone.

o    The Fund will mail proceeds to your address of record, or send by wire
     ($10 fee) or electronic funds transfer to the bank account listed in your
     account records. There is also a $12.50 fee for redemptions from IRAs.





                                       19
<PAGE>   23



BY WIRE:

o    If you choose to redeem your shares by wire, your redemption proceeds
     will be sent to your bank account of record. A $10 fee will be deducted
     from your proceeds.

o    If you wish to have your redemption proceeds sent by wire to a bank
     account other than that of record, you must provide a written request
     signed by all owners of the account with signatures guaranteed.

Please note that the Fund may require additional documents for redemptions by
corporations, executors, administrators, trustees and guardians. If you have any
questions about how to redeem shares, or to determine if a signature guarantee
or other documentation is required, please call 1-800-392-6563.


REDEMPTION FEES

Class A shares include a redemption fee of 1.00% of the redemption amount if you
sell your shares after holding them less than 6 months. When you redeem your
shares, your redemption request is processed to minimize the amount of
redemption fee that is payable. The Fund first redeems those shares that are not
subject to a redemption fee (e.g., shares acquired through reinvestment of
dividends or distributions), and then redeems those that have been held the
longest. There are additional transaction charges to sell shares if you redeem
by wire ($10) or you redeem from an IRA account ($12.50) (detailed in your IRA
Disclosure Statement & Custodial Agreement) to cover tax reporting. Transactions
handled through broker-dealers may be subject to additional transaction fees.
Please consult your investment professional before executing an order.

SIGNATURE GUARANTEES.

The Fund will require the signature guarantee of each account owner to redeem
shares in the following situations:

o   to send redemption proceeds to a different address than is currently on the
    account;

o   to have the proceeds paid to someone other than the account's owner;

o   to transmit redemption proceeds by federal wire transfer or ACH to a bank
    other than your bank of record;

o   if a change of address request has been received by the transfer agent
    within the last 30 days; or

o   if your redemption is for more than $50,000.

The Fund requires signature guarantees to protect both you and the Fund from
possible fraudulent requests to redeem shares. You can obtain a signature
guarantee from most broker-dealers, national or state banks, credit unions,
federal savings and loan associations or other eligible institutions. A NOTARY
PUBLIC IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SIGNATURE GUARANTOR.



                                       20
<PAGE>   24



MORE YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SELLING SHARES

         Payment. The Fund normally pays redemption proceeds within two business
days, but may take up to seven days. You can redeem shares purchased by check at
any time. However, while the Fund will process your redemption on the day it
receives your request, it will not pay your redemption proceeds until your check
has cleared, which may take up to 10 calendar days from the date of purchase.
You can avoid this delay by purchasing shares by a federal funds wire. Please
note that this provision is intended to protect the Fund and its shareholders
from loss. Wire payments for redemptions requested by phone will usually be made
on the next business day. Electronic funds transfers will ordinarily arrive at
your bank 2 to 3 banking days after transmission.

         Redeeming Shares Through Authorized Firms. An Authorized Firm may
charge a fee to redeem your Fund shares. If that firm is the shareholder of
record, the Fund will accept redemption requests only from that firm.

         The Fund may authorize service providers and their designees to accept
redemptions on the Fund's behalf. The Fund considers these requests received
when the provider accepts them, and prices them at the next net asset value
calculated.

         Small accounts. All Fund account owners share the high cost of
maintaining accounts with low balances. To reduce this cost, the Fund reserves
the right to close an account when a redemption leaves your account balance
below the applicable initial minimum investment for a class of shares, or you
discontinue the automatic investment plan before you reach the minimum. We will
notify you in writing before we close your account, and you will have 60 days to
add additional money to bring the balance up to the applicable initial minimum
investment or to renew your automatic investment plan. This provision does not
apply to UGMA/UTMA accounts.


         Redemption in Kind If you sell shares during any 90-day period that
reach the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the value of the Fund's net assets, the
Fund can give you securities from the Fund's portfolio instead of cash. If you
wanted to sell the securities for cash, you would have to pay the costs charged
by a broker.

         Additional Redemption Provisions

o   Once we receive your order to sell shares, you may not revoke or cancel it.
    We cannot accept an order to sell that specifies a particular date, price or
    any other special conditions. The Fund does not accept redemption requests
    via fax.

o   If your redemption request exceeds the amount that you currently have in
    your account, your entire account will be redeemed. The automatic purchase
    plan that you have initiated for the account will be cancelled.

o   The Fund reserves the right to suspend the redemption of Fund shares when
    the securities markets are closed, trading is restricted for any reason, an
    emergency exists and disposal of securities owned by the Fund is not
    reasonably practicable, the Fund cannot fairly determine




                                       21
<PAGE>   25




    the value of its net assets, or the Securities and Exchange Commission
    permits the suspension of the right of redemption or postpones the date of
    payment of a redemption.

o   If you are redeeming from an IRA, please tell us the proper tax withholding
    on your redemption request. If you do not, the Fund will automatically
    withhold 10% of your redemption proceeds.

o   If redeeming shares within 30 days after making an address change, your
    redemption request must be in writing and the signature must be guaranteed.


OTHER BUYING AND SELLING CONSIDERATIONS

GOOD ORDER

The Fund must receive your request to buy or sell shares in good order. The
request must include:

o   your account number

o   the number or dollar amount of shares you want to buy or sell

o   signatures of all owners, exactly as registered on the account

o   signature guarantees for redemption requests over $50,000

o   any documentation required for redemptions by corporations, partnerships,
    fiduciaries, estates, trusts, and other organizations

TELEPHONE AND WIRE TRANSACTIONS

o   Only bank accounts held at domestic financial institutions that are
    Automated Clearing House (ACH) members can be used for telephone and
    Internet transactions. It takes 15 calendar days after receipt by the Fund
    of your bank account information to establish this feature. Purchases by ACH
    transfers may not be made during this time.

o   In times of drastic economic or market conditions, you may have difficulty
    selling shares by telephone. The Fund reserves the right to temporarily
    discontinue or limit the telephone purchase and redemption privileges at any
    time. If you are unable to reach the Fund by telephone, please send your
    redemption request via the Internet or overnight courier.

o   The Fund reserves the right to refuse a telephone redemption request if the
    transfer agent believes it is advisable to do so. The Fund and its agents
    use procedures reasonably designed to confirm that telephone instructions
    are genuine. These may include recording telephone transactions, testing the
    identity of the caller by asking for account information and sending prompt
    written confirmations. If reasonable procedures are followed, the Fund and
    its service providers will not be liable for any losses due to unauthorized
    or fraudulent instructions.

o   When opening an account by wire, the Fund's transfer agent must receive your
    original executed Account Application to establish shareholder privileges
    and to verify your account information. If the Fund does not receive your
    original application, it can delay payment of redemption proceeds and
    require taxes to be withheld on any redemption or other distribution.

TRANSACTIONS THROUGH THE FUND'S WEBSITE

o   You may check your Fund account balance(s) and historical transactions,
    purchase shares in an existing account and sell shares of the Fund through
    the Fund's website at www.e-harmon.com. You automatically have the ability
    to view account balances and transactions by enrolling on the website. You
    also automatically have the ability to complete transactions on the website
    unless you decline them on your account application or call 1-800-392-6563.

o   You will be required to enter into a user's agreement through the website in
    order to enroll for these privileges. In order to conduct online
    transactions, you must have telephone transaction privileges. To purchase
    shares online you must also have ACH instructions on your account because
    payment for purchase of shares online may be made only through an ACH debit
    of your bank account.

o   The Fund imposes a limit of $50,000 on purchase and redemption transactions
    through the website.

o   You should be aware that the internet is an unsecured, unstable, unregulated
    and unpredictable environment. Your ability to use the website for
    transactions is dependent upon the internet and equipment, software,
    systems, data and services provided by various vendors and third parties.
    While the Fund and its service providers have established certain security
    procedures, the Fund, its adviser, its distributor and its transfer agent
    cannot assure you that inquiries, account information or trading activity
    will be completely secure.

o   There also may be delays, malfunctions or other inconveniences associated
    with the Internet, and times when the website is unavailable for
    transactions or other purposes. Should this happen, you should consider
    purchasing or redeeming using another method. Neither the Fund, its transfer
    agent, distributor or adviser will be liable for any such delays,
    malfunctions, unauthorized interception or access to information. In
    addition, provided reasonable security procedures are used, neither the
    Fund, its transfer agent, distributor or adviser will be responsible for any
    loss, liability or cost expense for following instructions communicated
    through the Internet, including fraudulent or unauthorized transactions.

SIGNATURE GUARANTEES

Generally, whenever you change your account privileges, your bank information,
or your registration information, you need signature guarantees for each
registered account owner. You also sometimes need a signature guarantee when you
sell shares. See "Selling Shares." These guarantee requirements help protect you
from fraud. You can have signatures guaranteed by a U.S. commercial bank or
trust company, a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
or other eligible institutions. A NOTARY PUBLIC IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE GUARANTOR.

MAKING CHANGES TO YOUR ACCOUNT

You may call or write us to make changes to your account. Common changes
include:





                                       23
<PAGE>   27



Name changes. If your name has changed due to marriage or divorce, send us a
letter of instruction signed with both your old and new names. Include a
certified copy of your marriage certificate or divorce decree or have your
signatures guaranteed.

Address changes. The easiest way to notify us is to return the stub from a
recent confirmation or statement. You can also call the transfer agent with any
changes at 1-800-392-6563. If redeeming shares within 30 days after making an
address change, your redemption request must be in writing and the signature
must be guaranteed.

Transfer of account ownership. Send us a letter including your account number,
number of shares or dollar amount that are being transferred along with the
name, address and Taxpayer Identification Number of the person to whom the
shares are being transferred. All living registered owners must sign the letter.
You will also need to include a signature guarantee. Corporations, businesses
and trusts may have to provide additional documents. In order to avoid delays in
processing account transfers, please call the transfer agent at 1-800-392-6563
to determine the additional documents that are required.


                                DISTRIBUTION PLAN

The Fund has a Distribution Plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, the Fund can pay
for the sale and distribution of its shares, including compensation to the
Distributor and Authorized Firms, at an annual rate based on average daily net
assets of 0.25% for Class A shares. These distribution fees are paid from the
Fund's assets on a continuous basis. Over time, the fees will increase the cost
of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales
charges.

AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN

To make regular investing more convenient, you can open an automatic investment
plan with an initial investment of $500 and a minimum investment of $50 per

checking or savings account the amount you want to invest on the 5th, 10th,
15th, 20th, 25th or last day of each month. You can terminate your automatic
investment plan at any time by calling the Fund at least 10 days before your

more, you may take systematic withdrawals of $500 or more on a monthly or
quarterly basis. The proceeds of a withdrawal can be sent to your address of
record or sent by electronic transfer to your bank. This plan may be a useful
way to deal with mandatory withdrawals from an IRA. If you want to implement
this plan, please fill out the appropriate section of the purchase application
or call 1-800-392-6563 for assistance.

o   Distributions that are not reinvested are paid by check or transmitted to
    your bank account via ACH. If the Post Office cannot deliver your check, or
    if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund reserves the right
    to reinvest your distribution check in your account at the NAV on the
    business day of the reinvestment and to reinvest all subsequent
    distributions in shares of the Fund. No interest accrues on amounts
    represented by uncashed distribution or redemption checks.

    distributions (if any) annually. Both are usually declared and paid in
    December to shareholders of record on a specified date that month.

TAX INFORMATION

The following discussion is intended to summarize certain federal income tax
considerations applicable to an investment in the Fund. It does not address
state, local, or foreign income or other taxes, and is not meant to be tax
advice. For tax advice, please consult with your tax adviser.

TAXES WHEN YOU SELL SHARES

When you sell shares in the Fund, you may realize a capital gain or loss. An
exchange of shares of one Fund for shares of the other Fund is generally
considered a sale for tax purposes.

In January of each year, you will be sent Form 1099-B indicating the date and
amount of each sale of Fund shares you made during the prior year. This
information will also be reported to the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS").
The Fund will report to you the gain or loss on the shares you sold during the
prior year, based on the "average cost," single category method. This
calculation of gain or loss will not be reported to the IRS, and you do not have
to use it in determining your gain or loss. You may calculate your cost basis in
the shares sold using other methods acceptable to the IRS, such as "specific
identification."

The Fund will send you a confirmation immediately following each transaction you
make (except for systematic purchases and redemptions) and a year-end statement
detailing all your transactions in the Fund account during the year.

TAXES ON FUND DISTRIBUTIONS

The following does not apply to qualified retirement accounts, such as IRAs,
which are not subject to income tax.

In January of each year, you will be sent Form 1099-DIV indicating the tax
status of any dividend and capital gain distributions made to you. This
information will also be reported to the IRS. Distributions are generally
taxable to you in the year in which they were paid. Distributions are taxable
whether reinvested in additional shares or received in cash. You will be sent
any additional information you need to determine your taxes on Fund
distributions, such as the portion of your dividends, if any, that may be exempt
from state income taxes.

The tax treatment of a capital gain distribution is determined by how long the
Fund held the portfolio securities generating the capital gains, not how long
you held shares in the Fund. Distributions of short-term capital gains, which
arise from the sale of securities held by the Fund for one year or less, are
taxable at ordinary income rates of up to 39.6% for individuals. Distributions
of long-term capital gains, which arise from the sale of securities held by the
Fund







                                       27
<PAGE>   31



for more than one year, are generally taxed at a rate of 20% for individuals.
Different rates apply to corporations.

If you realized a loss on the sale of Fund shares that you held six months or
less, your short-term loss will be reclassified to a long-term loss to the
extent of any long-term capital gain distribution received during the period you
held the shares.

TAX EFFECT OF BUYING SHARES BEFORE A CAPITAL GAIN OR DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION

If you buy shares shortly before or on the "record date" - the date that
establishes you as the person to receive the upcoming distribution - you will
receive a portion of the money you just invested in the form of a taxable
distribution. Therefore, you may wish to find out the Fund's record date before
investing. Of course, the Fund's share price may, at any time, reflect
undistributed capital gains or income and unrealized appreciation, which may
result in future taxable distributions.

Shareholders are urged to consult their tax adviser to discuss the tax
implications of an investment in the Fund.

FUND OVERVIEW

WHAT ARE THE OBJECTIVE AND PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES OF THE E-HARMON
INTERNET FUND?

E-HARMON INTERNET FUND seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests at
least 65% of its total assets in equity securities of Internet companies. In
addition, the Fund can invest in derivatives of equity securities. e-harmon
Capital Management LLC, the Fund's investment adviser, decides where to invest
the Fund's assets based on its research of attractive opportunities in the
Internet sector. Some of the key Internet industry segments in which the Fund is
likely to invest include:

     o    E-COMMERCE - companies directly or indirectly involved in the buying
          and selling of products and services over the Internet

     o    BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS (B2B) - companies that engage in or enable
          corporate commercial transactions via the Internet

     o    BROADBAND - companies that design and develop products and services
          that enable highspeed Internet infrastructure

     o    ACCESS - Internet service providers (ISPs) and companies that enable
          access to the Internet

     o    SERVICES - Firms that provide corporations with professional and
          information services related to the Internet

     o    SOFTWARE - developers of applications that enable a variety of
          Internet business activities, including, for example, electronic
          commerce, communications, content provision, and web development

     o    HARDWARE - computer, digital and electronic products designed and
          developed to enable Internet business activities, products, and
          services

The Fund may invest in Internet companies in industry segments not included in
the list above.

Stock selection is based on research that assesses a company's fundamental
prospects. The Fund can buy everything from small companies developing new
technologies to mature firms with established track records of developing and
marketing technological advances. The Fund also may invest in companies that
could benefit from technological advances even if they are not directly involved
in research and development. The Fund may sell securities for a variety of
reasons, such as to lock-in gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into more
promising opportunities.

WHAT IS AN INTERNET COMPANY?

The Adviser considers an Internet company to be one that receives more than 50%
of its revenue from Internet related business activities. These activities
include, the research, development, production, sale or distribution of
technology and products related to the Internet, and the development, delivery,
sale or distribution of services or processes related to the Internet.







                                       1

WHAT ARE THE MAIN RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

Market Risk. As with all equity funds, the Fund's share price may decline
because of weakness in the broad market, the Internet sector, other technology
sectors, a particular industry, or specific holdings. The equity market as a
whole may decline for many reasons, including adverse political or economic
developments here or abroad, changes in investor psychology, or heavy
institutional selling. The prospects for an industry or company may deteriorate
because of a variety of factors, including earnings surprises or changes in the
competitive environment. The Adviser's analyses of companies held in the Funds
may prove wrong, resulting in losses or poor performance even in a rising
market.

Technology and Research Companies. The Fund's investment strategies pose
investment risks specific to the Internet sector. Companies in the rapidly
changing Internet industry may face unusually high price volatility, both gains
and losses. The potential for wide variation in performance is based on the
special risks common to these stocks. For example, products or services that at
first appear promising may not prove commercially successful or may become
obsolete quickly. Also, increasing competition, rapidly changing markets,
frequent mergers or acquisitions of Internet companies and changes in strategic
alliances among various Internet businesses may have a significant effect on the
financial condition of companies in the Internet industry. Changes in government
policies, such as telephone and cable regulations and antitrust enforcement and
the need for regulatory approvals, can also have a material effect on the
companies in the industry. A portfolio focused primarily on these stocks is
therefore likely to be much more volatile than one with broader diversification
that includes investments in more economic sectors.

Small Companies. To the extent that the Fund has significant investments in
smaller companies or those with less than three years of operating history,
which may not have established products or more experienced management, the
level of risk will be increased. This Fund may invest in smaller capitalization
firms and may have higher share price volatility than funds that invest only in
larger capitalization, more established companies.

IPOs. e-harmon Internet Fund may participate in the initial public offering
(IPO) market. IPOs may significantly increase the Fund's total returns during
any period that the Fund has a small asset base. On the other hand, investments
in IPOs that are not successful can have a significant negative effect on the
Fund's total return. As the Fund's assets grow, any impact of IPO investments on
the Fund's total return may decline.

Derivatives. The Fund may use various derivative strategies. These strategies
may improve the Fund's returns or protect its assets. However, instruments
necessary to implement these strategies may not always be available, and these
strategies may not work. Derivatives, which include futures, options and options
on futures, also involve costs and can be volatile.

Non-diversification. The Fund is non-diversified under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, which means that there is no restriction under the 1940 Act on how
much the Fund may invest in the securities of any one issuer. However, in order
to qualify for certain tax treatment the Fund





                                       2
<PAGE>   38


will not invest more than 25% of total assets in any one issuer. See "Investment
Policies and Strategies - Non-Diversification." Accordingly, the Fund may be
more susceptible to the effects of adverse economic, political or regulatory
developments affecting a single issuer or industry sector than funds that are
diversified.

Mutual fund shares are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed by, any
depository institution. Shares are not insured by the FDIC, Federal Reserve, or
any other government agency, and are subject to investment risks, including
possible loss of the principal amount invested.

As with any mutual fund, there can be no guarantee the Fund will achieve its
objective. The Fund's share price may decline, so when you sell your shares, you
may lose money. The Fund is not a complete investment program.

The Fund can be used in both regular and tax-deferred accounts, such as IRAs.
See "Distributions and Taxes."

HOW CAN YOU TELL IF THE FUND MAY BE AN APPROPRIATE INVESTMENT?

     The Fund may be appropriate if you have:

          o    a long-term investment time horizon

          o    familiarity with Internet stocks

          o    tolerance for fluctuations in stock valuations and prices

          o    no intention to actively trade mutual fund shares

     The Fund is not appropriate if you have:

          o    a short-term investment time horizon

          o    little knowledge of Internet stocks

          o    aversion to fluctuations in stock valuations and prices

          o    an intention to actively trade mutual fund shares

those of other funds. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, the
table shows how much you would pay if Operating Expenses* remain the same, you
invest $10,000, you earn a 5% annual return, and you hold the investment for the
periods indicated and then sell all of your shares at the end of those periods:

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND STRATEGIES

In pursuit of its investment objective, the Fund may invest in a variety of
securities and use a variety of investment practices. The section below
describes some of the types of securities and strategies that the Adviser may
use in its day-to-day management of the Fund's assets.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

e-harmon Internet Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets in the
equity securities of Internet companies. The Adviser considers an Internet
company to be one that receives more than 50% of its revenue from Internet
related business activities. These activities include, the research,
development, production, sale or distribution of technology and products related
to the Internet, and the development, delivery, sale or distribution of services
or processes related to the Internet.








                                       6
<PAGE>   42

e-harmon Capital Management LLC, the Fund's investment adviser, decides where to
invest the Fund's assets based on its research of attractive opportunities in
the Internet sector. Some of the key Internet industry segments in which the
Fund is likely to invest include:

          o    E-COMMERCE - companies directly or indirectly involved in the
               buying and selling of products and services over the Internet

          o    BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS (B2B) - companies that engage in or enable
               corporate commercial transactions via the Internet

          o    BROADBAND - companies that design and develop products and
               services that enable highspeed Internet infrastructure

          o    ACCESS - Internet service providers (ISPs) and companies that
               enable access to the Internet

          o    SERVICES - Firms that provide corporations with professional and
               information services related to the Internet

          o    SOFTWARE - developers of applications that enable a variety of
               Internet business activities, including, for example, electronic
               commerce, communications, content provision, and web development

          o    HARDWARE - computer, digital and electronic products designed and
               developed to enable Internet business activities, products, and
               services

The Fund may invest in Internet companies in industry segments not included in
the list above.

Equity securities include common stocks, non-convertible preferred stocks,
securities convertible or exchangeable for common stocks or preferred stocks,
equity investments in partnerships, joint ventures and other forms of
non-corporate investments, American Depository Receipts, American Depository
Shares, and warrants and rights exercisable for equity securities.

In addition to the above strategies, the Fund can invest in derivatives of
equity securities, including futures, stock index futures, options and options
on futures for hedging purposes.

DERIVATIVES

Futures Contracts and Related Options; Foreign Currency Forward Contracts. The
Fund may invest up to 25% of net assets in financial futures contracts and
related options on equity securities and indices of equity securities. A
financial futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a set quantity of an
underlying financial instruments at a future date or to make or receive a cash
payment based on the value of the instrument where it is a securities index. The
Fund also may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to seek to protect
the value of its assets against future changes in the level of foreign currency
exchange rates. A foreign currency forward contract is an obligation to buy or
sell a given currency on a future date at a set price. Securities Options. The
Fund may write (sell) covered call options, including those that trade in the
OTC market, to seek to provide a hedge against declines in the market value of
its portfolio securities. The Fund may write covered call options on securities
comprising no more than 5% of the Fund's net assets at the time of any writing.
The writing of call options is subject to various risks, including the risk that
the Fund will not be able to participate in any appreciation in the value of the
underlying securities above the exercise price. The Fund may also purchase and
write (sell) listed call options provided that the value of the call options
outstanding at any time will not exceed 5% of the Fund's net assets. The Fund
may buy call and put options on stock indices to seek to hedge against the risk
of market or industry-wide stock price fluctuations.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND

When you own shares of the Fund, you not only have the ability to participate in
potential increases in share value, you also bear the risk that the value of the
Fund's shares may decline. This section discusses some of the special risks
associated with an investment in the Fund.

INTERNET COMPANIES. The Fund will invest primarily in companies engaged in
Internet related business activities. The value of such companies is
particularly vulnerable to rapidly changing technology, government regulation
and relatively high risks of obsolescence caused by scientific and technological
advances. The Fund may involve significantly greater risks and therefore may
experience greater volatility than a mutual fund that does not concentrate its
investments in one industry.


                                       7
<PAGE>   43


TECHNOLOGY AND RESEARCH COMPANIES AND CURRENCY RISK. The Fund expects to invest
a portion of its assets in securities of companies involved in computing
technologies, or communication technologies (collectively, "technology
sectors"). Typically, these companies' products or services compete on a global,
rather than a predominately domestic or regional basis. The technology sectors
historically have been volatile and securities of companies in these sectors may
be subject to abrupt or erratic price movements. The Adviser will seek to reduce
such risks through extensive research and emphasis on more globally competitive
companies. In addition, because these companies compete globally, the securities
of these companies may be subject to fluctuations in value due to the effect of
changes in the relative values of currencies on such companies' businesses. The
history of these markets reflects both decreases and increases in worldwide
currency valuations, and these may reoccur unpredictably in the future.

SMALL COMPANIES. The Fund may invest in companies with small market
capitalizations (i.e., less than $500 million) or companies that have limited
product lines or a small share of the market for their products or services
(collectively, "small companies"). Small companies may lack depth of management,
may be unable to internally generate funds necessary for growth or potential
development or to generate such funds through external financing on favorable
terms, and they may be developing or marketing new products or services for
which markets are not yet established and may never become established. Due to
these and other factors, small companies may suffer significant losses, as well
as realize substantial growth. Securities of small companies present greater
risks than securities of larger, more established companies. Historically,
stocks of small companies have been more volatile than stocks of larger
companies and are, therefore, riskier than investments in larger companies.
Among the reasons for the greater price volatility are the less certain growth
prospects of smaller companies, the lower degree of liquidity in the markets for
such stocks, and the greater sensitivity of small companies to changing economic
conditions. Besides exhibiting greater volatility, small company stocks may, to
a degree, fluctuate independently of larger company stocks. Small company stocks
may decline in price as large company stocks increase; or increase in price as
large company stocks decline. Therefore, the value of the e-harmon Internet Fund
shares may be more volatile than the shares of a mutual fund that invests
primarily in larger company stocks.

NON-DIVERSIFICATION. The Fund is non-diversified under the 1940 Act, which means
that there is no restriction on how much the Fund may invest in the securities
of any one issuer. However, to qualify for tax treatment as a regulated
investment company under the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"), the Fund intends to
comply, as of the end of each taxable quarter, with certain diversification
requirements imposed by the Code. Pursuant to these requirements, the Fund will,
among other things, limit its investments in the securities of any one issuer
(with some exceptions) to no more than 25% of the value of the Fund's total
assets. In addition, the Fund, with respect to 50% of its total assets, will
limit its investments in the securities of any issuer to 5% of the Fund's total
assets, and will not purchase more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities
of any one issuer. Nevertheless, as a general matter, the Fund may be more
susceptible than a diversified mutual fund to the effects of adverse economic,
political or regulatory developments affecting a single issuer or industry
sector in which the Fund may have investments.








                                       8
<PAGE>   44

Risks of Derivatives. The Fund's risk is mostly dependent on the types of
securities it purchases and its investment techniques. The use of derivative
instruments exposes the Fund to additional risks and transaction costs. Risks
inherent in the use of derivative instruments include:

          o    movements in interest rates, securities prices and currency
               markets that are counter to the direction that a portfolio
               manager anticipates

          o    imperfect correlation between the price of derivative instruments
               and movements in the prices of the securities, interest rates or
               currencies being hedged

          o    the skills needed to use these strategies are different than
               those needed to select portfolio securities

          o    inability to close out certain hedged positions to avoid adverse
               tax consequences

          o    absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular
               instrument and exchange-imposed price fluctuation limits, either
               of which may make it difficult or impossible to close out a
               position when desired

          o    adverse price movements in an instrument can result in a loss
               substantially greater than the Fund's initial investment in that
               instrument (that is, leveraged risk)

          o    the risk that the counterparty will not perform its obligations,
               particularly in the case of privately-negotiated instruments,
               which could leave the Fund worse off than if it had not entered
               into the position.

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS

ILLIQUID SECURITIES. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid
securities. Illiquid securities are securities for which there is no ready
market (which inhibits the ability to sell them and obtain their full market
value) or which are legally restricted as to their resale by the Fund.

Risks. To the extent that the Fund invests in illiquid securities, the Fund may
not be able to sell securities at the time and the price that it would like. The
Fund may therefore have to lower the price, sell substitute securities or forego
an investment opportunity, each of which might adversely affect the Fund.

FOREIGN INVESTMENTS. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in
securities of foreign issuers or securities that are principally traded in
foreign markets ("foreign securities"). When foreign investments are made, the
Adviser will attempt to take advantage of differences between economic trends
and the performance of securities markets in various countries to maximize
investment performance. In most instances, foreign investments will be made in
companies principally based in developed countries. Investments in foreign
securities may be made through the purchase of individual securities on
recognized exchanges and developed over-the-counter markets. To attempt to
reduce exposure to currency fluctuations, the Fund may trade in foreign currency
forward contracts, currency futures contracts and options thereon and securities
indexed to foreign securities. The Fund may also invest in American Depository
Receipts and American Depository Shares that the Adviser does not consider to be
foreign securities.

Risks. There are certain risks and costs involved in investing in securities of
foreign companies, such as outlined below.

          o    foreign companies are not generally subject to the uniform
               accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and
               practices applicable to U.S. companies; and there may be less
               public information available about foreign companies than is
               available about U.S. companies

          o    foreign markets have less volume than U.S. markets, and the
               securities of some foreign companies are less liquid and more
               volatile than the securities of comparable U.S. companies

          o    there may be less government regulation of stock exchanges,
               brokers, listed companies and banks in foreign countries than in
               the United States

          o    the Fund may incur fees on currency exchanges when it changes
               investments from one currency to another

          o    the Fund's foreign investments could be affected by
               expropriation, confiscatory taxation, nationalization of bank
               deposits, establishment of exchange controls, political or social
               instability or diplomatic developments

          o    fluctuations in foreign exchange rates will affect the value of
               the Fund's portfolio securities, the value of dividends and
               interest earned, gains and loses realized on the sale of
               securities, net investment income and unrealized appreciation or
               depreciation of investments

          o    possible imposition of dividend or interest withholding by a
               foreign country





                                       10
<PAGE>   46






U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. The Fund may invest in U.S. Government securities,
including, U.S. Treasury obligations such as Treasury Bills (maturities of one
year or less) or Treasury Notes (maturities of less than three years).

Risks. The market value of U.S. Government securities will fluctuate with
changes in interest rate levels. Thus, if interest rates increase from the time
the security was purchased, the market value of the security will decrease.
Conversely, if interest rates decrease, the market value of the security will
increase.

TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE INVESTMENTS AND CASH MANAGEMENT. Under normal circumstances
the Fund may make investments in corporate debt securities, commercial paper,
certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and time deposits of U.S. or
foreign banks, obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and its
agencies and foreign governments and their agencies. In response to adverse
market, economic or political conditions, the Fund may temporarily invest up to
100% of the Fund's assets in money market instruments or hold cash.

Risks. Investing heavily in these securities limits our ability to achieve the
Fund's investment objectives, but can help preserve the Fund's assets when the
markets are volatile.

BORROWING. The Fund may borrow money from banks and make other investments or
engage in other transactions permissible under the 1940 Act which may be
considered a borrowing. However, the Fund will not purchase securities when bank
borrowings exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets. Presently, the Fund only
intends to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes.

LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. The Fund may lend securities to broker-dealers,
other institutions, or other persons to earn additional income.

Risks. The principal risk is the potential insolvency of the broker-dealer or
other borrower. In this event, the Fund could experience delays in recovering
its securities and possibly capital losses.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, where a
party agrees to sell a security to the Fund and then repurchase it at an
agreed-upon price at a stated time. This creates a fixed return for the Fund and
is, in effect, a loan by the Fund. The Fund's repurchase agreements will be
collateralized.

Risks. If the seller of the repurchase agreement defaults and the value of the
collateral securing the repurchase agreement declines, the Fund may incur a
loss.

                             CHOOSING A SHARE CLASS

You can choose from different classes for the Fund. The different classes
represent investments in the same portfolio of securities, but each has a
different combination of sales charges, fees, eligibility requirements and other
features.






                                       11
<PAGE>   47





The Fund offers three different classes of shares - Class A, Class B and Class
C. In deciding whether to purchase Class A, Class B or Class C shares, you
should consider:

          o    the amount of your purchase

          o    how long you expect to hold the shares

          o    the amount of any up-front sales charge

          o    whether you intend to purchase through a broker or other
               authorized firm or directly with the Fund

          o    whether a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) would apply
               upon redemption

          o    the amount of any distribution or service fees that you may incur
               while you own the shares

          o    whether you qualify for a sales charge waiver or reduction

          o    whether you meet the eligibility criteria for the class

If you are purchasing through a broker or other institution, your investment
professional can help you determine which class is best for you. For a summary
of the charges and expenses for each class, please see "Fees and Expenses."

You may invest either directly with the Fund through its Distributor or through
authorized broker-dealers, financial institutions or other organizations that
have entered into sales agreements with the Distributor ("Authorized Firms"). If
you invest through an Authorized Firm with an investment professional, they can
provide advice, determine the suitability of the Fund and class, help you set up
your account, make subsequent investments for you and provide other services.
Your investment professional will forward your investment details and payment
for you. Authorized Firms may charge transaction and other fees in addition to
those described in this prospectus, and may set minimum investments or
limitations on buying or selling shares different than those described in this
prospectus. You should consult your investment professional for details.

(1)  After 6 years, Class B shares will convert automatically to Class A shares
     of the Fund.


(2)  Different minimum investment requirements apply to Automatic Investment
     Plans, IRSs and custodial accounts for minors. For more information, see
     "Buying and Selling Shares, Before you Invest --Account Minimums."

(3)  If you choose to make your own investment decisions, you may purchase Class
     A shares directly with the Fund through its Distributor without paying the
     initial sales charge by following the procedures described below. In
     addition, sales charges are reduced for purchases of $50,000 or more.

(4)  Class A, Class B and Class C shares have a redemption fee of 1.00% of the
     redemption amount if you sell your shares after holding them less than 6
     months. This fee, which is paid to the Fund, 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
     trading.

(5)  Distribution fees are paid from the Fund's assets on a continuous basis.
     Over time, the fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost
     you more than paying other types of sales charges. The service fee for
     Class B and Class C shares is .25 of 1%. The distribution fee for Class A
     shares is .25 of 1% and is .75 of 1% for Class B and Class C shares.

The CDSC is calculated by multiplying the CDSC percentage by the lesser of the
net asset value of the shares being redeemed at the time of their purchase or
their net asset value at the time of redemption. To ensure that you pay the
lowest CDSC possible, the Funds use the shares with the lowest CDSC to fill your
redemption request. No CDSC sales charge is imposed on shares you buy through
the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.

CLASS A SHARES

INVESTING DIRECTLY THROUGH THE DISTRIBUTOR

If you choose to make your own investment decisions, you may purchase Class A
shares directly with the Fund through the Distributor via the Internet, by mail
or other direct means without paying the initial sales charge by following the
procedures described below. Subsequent purchases of Class A shares for accounts
initially established by direct purchase through the Distributor will also be
made without paying any initial sales charge as long as the additional purchases
are directly with the Funds through the Distributor.

INVESTING THROUGH AN AUTHORIZED FIRM

Class A shares purchased through an Authorized Firm may be appropriate for
long-term investors who compensate their investment professional for the
services they provide with traditional front-end sales charges. If you invest
through an Authorized Firm, you buy Class A shares at the offering price, which
is the net asset value per share plus an up-front sales charge. There is no
up-front sales charge on Class A shares obtained through reinvested dividends
and capital gain distributions. You may qualify for a reduced sales charge, or
the sales charge may be waived, as described below.

SALES CHARGES

The up-front Class A sales charge is as follows:

The Fund offers a number of ways to reduce or eliminate the up-front sales
charge on Class A Shares. You and your investment professional must notify the
Fund at the time of each purchase if you are eligible for any of these programs.

     Reduced Sales Charges for Class A Shares

o        Right of Accumulation. You may group prior investments made by you
         and/or members of your immediate family in Class A shares of the Fund
         to count towards volume discounts on new purchases.

o        Letter of Intent Purchases. If you intend to make purchases in the Fund
         of over $50,000 within a 13 month period, you may sign a letter of
         intent and receive a volume discount on each purchase as if you were
         making a single purchase. You must complete the Letter of Intent
         section of the Account Application. If you fail to fulfill the Letter
         of Intent, the higher sales charge applicable to your investment will
         be assessed retroactively. The Fund's transfer agent will hold a
         portion of your shares in escrow, which will be used to pay the
         applicable sales charge if the Letter of Intent is not fulfilled.

         Sales Charge Waivers for Class A Shares

The sales charge on Class A shares is waived if the purchase:

o    is made directly with the Fund through the Distributor

o    is made for individual accounts of certain registered personnel and
     employees of Authorized Firms, their spouses, children, grandchildren and
     parents, in accordance with the internal policies of the employing
     Authorized Firm

o    is made by state and local government entities that are prohibited from
     paying mutual fund sales charges

o    is made by registered investment companies

o    is made by trustees and officers of the Fund, employees of and counsel for
     the Adviser, employees of service providers of the Fund, and each of their
     affiliates and their spouses, children, grandchildren and parents, in
     accordance with the internal policies and procedures of their respective
     employers.

o    is made by private partnerships managed by the Adviser.

o    is made for a retirement plan (other than an IRA, SIMPLE IRA, SEP or SARSEP
     or a plan covering self employed individuals and their employees (formerly
     Keough/H.R. 10 plans))

CLASS B SHARES

Class B shares may be appropriate if you are purchasing shares through an
Authorized Firm and you don't want to pay a front-end sales charge and/or if you
are not planning to redeem shares in the short-term. After 6 years, Class B
shares will convert automatically to Class A shares of the Fund.

CLASS C SHARES

Class C shares may be appropriate if you are purchasing shares through an
Authorized Firm and you do not want to pay a traditional front-end sales charge
or you are unsure of the length of time you will hold your investment. Class C
shares do not convert to another share class.


                            BUYING AND SELLING SHARES

After you have read this prospectus carefully, and have chosen a share class,
here is what you need to know about buying and selling shares of the e-Harmon
Internet Fund. If you hold more than one class, you must identify the class you
intend to buy or sell.

BEFORE YOU INVEST

ACCOUNT REGISTRATION

When purchasing shares, you need to select the appropriate form of account
registration. There are many different types of mutual fund ownership. How you
register your account with the Fund can affect your legal interests, as well as
the rights and interests of your family and beneficiaries. You should always
consult with your legal and/or tax adviser to determine what form of account
registration best meets your needs.

Available forms of registration include:

     o    Individual ownership. If you have reached the legal age of majority in
          your state of residence, you may open an individual account.

     o    Joint ownership. Two or more individuals may open an account together
          as joint tenants with right of survivorship, tenants in common or as
          community property.

     o    Custodial account. You may open an account for a minor under the
          Uniform Gift to Minors Act/Uniform Transfers to Minors Act for your
          state of residence.

     o    Business/trust ownership. Corporations, trusts, charitable
          organizations and other businesses may open accounts.


ACCOUNT MINIMUMS

You also need to decide how much money to invest. The following chart shows you
the minimum amounts that you will need to open or add to certain types of
accounts.

SHAREHOLDER ACTIVITIES

e-Harmon Funds not only invests in Internet companies, but also believes that
the Internet can be a useful tool for shareholders and can benefit both the
shareholder and the Fund. Through the Fund's website, www.e-harmon.com,
investors can view account balances, historical transactions, current prices and
performance information, place transactions, receive statements, confirmations,
reports and other regulatory mailings, and learn more about the Fund and its
adviser. e-harmon Funds encourages you to:

o    obtain an account application by visiting e-harmon.com

o    receive shareholder documents online

o    view account information, such as balances, positions, and transaction
     history online

o    handle simple customer service issues and questions about the Funds online

HOW SHARES ARE PRICED

The Fund prices your transaction at the next net asset value ("NAV") determined
after the Fund receives your request in good order, together with the funds
necessary for the transaction. See "Other Buying and Selling Considerations" on
page __ for a definition of "good order." When purchasing shares, the price you
receive is the next determined net asset value plus any applicable sales charge.
When redeeming shares, the price you receive is the next determined net asset
value less any applicable CDSC and redemption fee. The Fund calculates NAV by
taking the total value of its assets, subtracting its liabilities, and dividing
the total by the number of Fund shares that are outstanding. NAV is determined
separately for each class of shares.

NAV is calculated at the close of regular trading (generally 3:00 p.m. Central
time) each day the New York Stock Exchange is open. The Exchange is closed on
weekends and most national holidays. Because the Fund can invest in foreign
securities, the NAV can change on days when you cannot buy or sell shares.

If the transfer agent (or other financial intermediary with the authority to
accept orders on the Fund's behalf) receives your buy or sell request in good
order before the close of regular trading on the Exchange, you will pay or
receive that day's NAV plus or less any applicable sales charges,






                                       17

redemption fees and/or CDSCs. If the transfer agent (or other financial
intermediary with the authority to accept orders on the Fund's behalf) receives
your buy or sell request in good order after the close of regular trading on the
NYSE, you will pay or receive the next determined NAV plus or less any
applicable sales charges, redemption fees and/or CDSCs. Shares purchased by wire
will receive the NAV next determined after the Fund receives your completed
application, the wired funds and all required information is provided in the
wire instructions.

Details on how to open an account and take advantage of online services are
described below.


OPENING AND ADDING TO AN ACCOUNT

You may open an account and add to the account either directly with the Fund or
through an Authorized Firm. If you are purchasing shares directly, you have a
number of ways to invest, each as described below. If you are purchasing shares
through an Authorized Firm, your investment professional will take action on
your behalf, and you will not personally perform the steps described below. When
purchasing shares, remember to specify the class you intend to purchase. If no
selection is made, you will be deemed to have selected Class A shares.

MORE YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BUYING SHARES

         Accepting orders. The Fund must receive a properly completed New
Account Application before an initial investment can be made and your account
opened. The Fund may return incomplete applications or checks. Once you place
your order, you may not cancel or revoke it. The Fund may reject any purchase
order or refuse a telephone transaction at any time. The Fund will not accept an
account if you are investing for another person as attorney-in-fact, or an
account with "Power of Attorney" or "POA" in the new Account Application's
registration section.

         Certificates. The Fund does not issue stock certificates. You will
receive a statement confirming your purchase.

         Returned checks/insufficient funds, etc. You will be charged a $20
service fee against your account for any check returned or for any incomplete
ACH or other electronic transfer of funds, or for insufficient funds, stop
payment, closed account or other reasons. YOUR PURCHASE WILL BE CANCELLED, AND
YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY RESULTING LOSS TO THE FUND. The Fund may redeem
shares you own in this or another identically registered Fund account as
reimbursement for any such losses. The Fund will bear the loss to the extent it
cannot recover from the investor.

         Purchases Through Authorized Firms. If you buy shares through an
Authorized Firm, their policies may differ from those described here and they
may charge you fees in addition to those described in this prospectus. The Fund
may accept requests to buy additional shares into an Authorized Firm's street
name account only from the Authorized Firm.

         The Fund may authorize service providers and their designees to accept
purchase orders on the Fund's behalf. The Fund considers such orders received
when the service provider accepts them, and prices them at the offering price
calculated after receipt by the service provider.








                                       20
<PAGE>   56




         The Fund has agreed to allow some service providers to enter purchase
orders for their customers by telephone, with payment to follow. The Fund prices
these telephone orders at the offering price next calculated after the service
provider receives them. The service provider is responsible for placing the
orders promptly and for ensuring that the Fund receives payment within the
agreed-upon period. Otherwise, the provider could be liable for resulting fees
or losses. The Fund will bear the loss to the extent it cannot recover from the
provider.

         Other Purchase Considerations.

o        You must provide the Fund with a Social Security Number or Taxpayer
         Identification Number before your account can be established. If you do
         not certify the accuracy of your Social Security or Taxpayer
         Identification Number on your account application, the Fund will be
         required to withhold federal income tax at a rate of 31% from all of
         your dividends, capital gain distributions and redemptions.

o        The Fund is only offered and sold to residents of the United States.
         Your application will be accepted only if it contains a U.S. address.
         This prospectus should not be considered a solicitation to buy or an
         offer to sell shares of the Fund in any jurisdiction where it would be
         unlawful to do so under the securities laws of that jurisdiction.

SELLING SHARES

You may sell your shares on any day the Fund is open for business by following
the instructions below. Note that when you sell shares, you may realize a

CDSCS AND REDEMPTION FEES

Class A, B and C shares include a redemption fee of 1.00% of the redemption
amount if you sell your shares after holding them less than 6 months. When you
redeem your shares, your redemption request is processed to minimize the amount
of redemption fee that is payable. The Fund first redeems those shares that are
not subject to a redemption fee (e.g., shares acquired through reinvestment of
dividends or distributions), and then redeems those that have been held the
longest. Class B and Class C shares are also subject to a CDSC as described
under "Choosing a Share Class." There are additional transaction charges to sell
shares if you redeem by wire ($10) or you redeem from an IRA account ($12.50)
(detailed in your IRA Disclosure Statement & Custodial Agreement) to cover tax
reporting. Transactions handled through broker-dealers may be subject to
additional transaction fees. Please consult your investment professional before
executing an order.

SIGNATURE GUARANTEES.

The Fund will require the signature guarantee of each account owner to redeem
shares in the following situations:

o    to send redemption proceeds to a different address than is currently on the
     account;

o    to have the proceeds paid to someone other than the account's owner;

o    to transmit redemption proceeds by federal wire transfer or ACH to a bank
     other than your bank of record;

o    if a change of address request has been received by the transfer agent
     within the last 30 days; or

o    if your redemption is for more than $50,000.

The Fund requires signature guarantees to protect both you and the Fund from
possible fraudulent requests to redeem shares. You can obtain a signature
guarantee from most broker-dealers, national or state banks, credit unions,
federal savings and loan associations or other eligible institutions. A NOTARY
PUBLIC IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SIGNATURE GUARANTOR.


MORE YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SELLING SHARES

         Payment. The Fund normally pays redemption proceeds within two business
days, but may take up to seven days. You can redeem shares purchased by check at
any time. However, while the Fund will process your redemption on the day it
receives your request, it will not pay your redemption proceeds until your check
has cleared, which may take up to 10 calendar days from the date of purchase.
You can avoid this delay by purchasing shares by a federal funds wire. Please
note that this provision is intended to protect the Fund and its shareholders
from loss. Wire payments for redemptions requested by phone will usually be made
on the next business day. Electronic funds transfers will ordinarily arrive at
your bank 2 to 3 banking days after transmission.









                                       23
<PAGE>   59



         Redeeming Shares Through Authorized Firms. An Authorized Firm may
charge a fee to redeem your Fund shares. If that firm is the shareholder of
record, the Fund will accept redemption requests only from that firm.

         The Fund may authorize service providers and their designees to accept
redemption on the Fund's behalf. The Fund considers these requests received when
the provider accepts them, and prices them at the next net asset value
calculated.

         Small accounts. All Fund account owners share the high cost of
maintaining accounts with low balances. To reduce this cost, the Fund reserves
the right to close an account when a redemption or leaves your account balance
below the applicable initial minimum investment for a class of shares, or you
discontinue the automatic investment plan before you reach the minimum. We will
notify you in writing before we close your account, and you will have 60 days to
add additional money to bring the balance up to the applicable initial minimum
investment or to renew your automatic investment plan. This provision does not
apply to UGMA/UTMA accounts.


         Redemption in Kind If you sell shares during any 90-day period that
reach the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the value of the Fund's net assets, the
Fund can give you securities from the Fund's portfolio instead of cash. If you
wanted to sell the securities for cash, you would have to pay the costs charged
by a broker.

         Additional Redemption Provisions

o    Once we receive your order to sell shares, you may not revoke or cancel it.
     We cannot accept an order to sell that specifies a particular date, price
     or any other special conditions. The Fund does not accept redemption
     requests via fax.

o    If your redemption request exceeds the amount that you currently have in
     your account, your entire account will be redeemed. The automatic purchase
     plan that you have initiated for the account will be cancelled.

o    The Fund reserves the right to suspend the redemption of Fund shares when
     the securities markets are closed, trading is restricted for any reason, an
     emergency exists and disposal of securities owned by the Fund is not
     reasonably practicable, the Fund cannot fairly determine the value of its
     net assets, or the Securities and Exchange Commission permits the
     suspension of the right of redemption or postpones the date of payment of a
     redemption.

o    If you are redeeming from an IRA, please tell us the proper tax withholding
     on your redemption request. If you do not, the Fund will automatically
     withhold 10% of your redemption proceeds.

o    If redeeming shares within 30 days after making an address change, your
     redemption request must be in writing and the signature must be guaranteed.

OTHER BUYING AND SELLING CONSIDERATIONS

GOOD ORDER

The Fund must receive your request to buy or sell shares in good order. The
request must include:

          o    your account number

          o    the number or dollar amount of shares you want to buy or sell and
               the specific class(es)

          o    signatures of all owners, exactly as registered on the account

          o    signature guarantees for redemption requests over $50,000

          o    any documentation required for redemptions by corporations,
               partnerships, fiduciaries, estates, trusts, and other
               organizations

TELEPHONE AND WIRE TRANSACTIONS

o    Only bank accounts held at domestic financial institutions that are
     Automated Clearing House (ACH) members can be used for telephone and
     Internet transactions. It takes 15 calendar days after receipt by the Fund
     of your bank account information to establish this feature. Purchases by
     ACH transfers may not be made during this time.

o    In times of drastic economic or market conditions, you may have difficulty
     selling shares by telephone. The Fund reserves the right to temporarily
     discontinue or limit the telephone purchase and redemption privileges at
     any time. If you are unable to reach the Fund by telephone, please send
     your redemption request via the Internet or overnight courier.

o    The Fund reserves the right to refuse a telephone redemption request if the
     transfer agent believes it is advisable to do so. The Fund and its agents
     use procedures reasonably designed to confirm that telephone instructions
     are genuine. These may include recording telephone transactions, testing
     the identity of the caller by asking for account information and sending
     prompt written confirmations. If reasonable procedures are followed, the
     Fund and its service providers will not be liable for any losses due to
     unauthorized or fraudulent instructions.

o    When opening an account by wire, the Fund's transfer agent must receive
     your original executed Account Application to establish shareholder
     privileges and to verify your account information. If the Fund does not
     receive your original application, it can delay payment of redemption
     proceeds and require taxes to be withheld on any redemption or other
     distribution.

 TRANSACTIONS THROUGH THE FUND'S WEBSITE

o    You may check your Fund account balance(s) and historical transactions,
     purchase shares in an existing account and sell shares of the Fund through
     the Fund's website at www.e-harmon.com. You automatically have the ability
     to view account balances and transactions by enrolling on the website. You
     also automatically have the ability to complete transactions on the website
     unless you decline them on your account application or call 1-800-392-6563.








                                       25
<PAGE>   61




o    You will be required to enter into a user's agreement through the website
     in order to enroll for these privileges. In order to conduct online
     transactions, you must have telephone transaction privileges. To purchase
     shares online you must also have ACH instructions on your account because
     payment for purchase of shares online may be made only through an ACH debit
     of your bank account.

o    The Fund imposes a limit of $50,000 on purchase and redemption transactions
     through the website.

o    You should be aware that the internet is an unsecured, unstable,
     unregulated and unpredictable environment. Your ability to use the website
     for transactions is dependent upon the internet and equipment, software,
     systems, data and services provided by various vendors and third parties.
     While the Fund and its service providers have established certain security
     procedures, the Fund, its adviser, its distributor and its transfer agent
     cannot assure you that inquiries, account information or trading activity
     will be completely secure.

o    There also may be delays, malfunctions or other inconveniences associated
     with the Internet, and times when the website is unavailable for
     transactions or other purposes. Should this happen, you should consider
     purchasing or redeeming using another method. Neither the Fund, its
     transfer agent, distributor or adviser will be liable for any such delays,
     malfunctions, unauthorized interception or access to information. In
     addition, provided reasonable security procedures are used, neither the
     Fund, its transfer agent, distributor or adviser will be responsible for
     any loss, liability or cost expense for following instructions communicated
     through the Internet, including fraudulent or unauthorized transactions.

SIGNATURE GUARANTEES

Generally, whenever you change your account privileges, your bank information,
or your registration information, you need signature guarantees for each
registered account owner. You also sometimes need a signature guarantee when you
sell shares. See "Selling Shares." These guarantee requirements help protect you
from fraud. You can have signatures guaranteed by a U.S. commercial bank or
trust company, a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
or other eligible institutions. A NOTARY PUBLIC IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE GUARANTOR.

MAKING CHANGES TO YOUR ACCOUNT

You may call or write us to make changes to your account. Common changes
include:

Name changes. If your name has changed due to marriage or divorce, send us a
letter of instruction signed with both your old and new names. Include a
certified copy of your marriage certificate or divorce decree or have your
signatures guaranteed.

Address changes. The easiest way to notify us is to return the stub from a
recent confirmation or statement. You can also call the transfer agent with any
changes at 1-800-392-6563. If redeeming shares within 30 days after making an
address change, your redemption request must be in writing and the signature
must be guaranteed.







                                       26
<PAGE>   62


Transfer of account ownership. Send us a letter including your account number,
the share class, number of shares or dollar amount that are being transferred
along with the name, address and Taxpayer Identification Number of the person to
whom the shares are being transferred. All living registered owners must sign
the letter. You will also need to include a signature guarantee. Corporations,
businesses and trusts may have to provide additional documents. In order to
avoid delays in processing account transfers, please call the transfer agent at
1-800-392-6563 to determine the additional documents that are required.


                                DISTRIBUTION PLAN

The Fund has a Distribution Plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, the Fund can pay
for the sale and distribution of its shares, including compensation to the
Distributor and Authorized Firms, at an annual rate based on average daily net
assets of 0.25% for Class A shares and 0.75% for each of Class B and Class C
Shares. These distribution fees are paid from the Fund's assets on a continuous
basis. Over time, the fees will increase the cost of your investment and may
cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

via a toll-free line. The system provides total returns, share prices and price
changes for the Fund and gives you account balances and history (e.g., last

please call 1-800-392-6563.

AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN

To make regular investing more convenient, you can open an automatic investment
plan with an initial investment of $500 and a minimum investment of $50 per
month after you start your plan. We will automatically transfer from your
checking or savings account the amount you want to invest on the 5th, 10th,
15th, 20th, 25th or last day of each month. You can terminate your automatic
investment plan at any time by calling the Fund at least 10 days before your

appropriate area of your application, or call 1-800-392-6563 for assistance.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN (SWP)

You can have shares automatically redeemed from your account on a regular basis

more, you may take systematic withdrawals of $500 or more on a monthly or
quarterly basis. The proceeds of a withdrawal can be sent to your address of
record or sent by electronic transfer to your bank. This plan may be a useful
way to deal with mandatory withdrawals from an IRA. If you own Class B or Class
C shares, withdrawals may be subject to a CDSC. If you want to implement this
plan, please fill out the appropriate section of the purchase application or
call 1-800-392-6563 for assistance.

SEMI-ANNUAL AND ANNUAL REPORTS

The Fund sends semi-annual and annual reports to its shareholders. These reports
provide financial information on your investments and give you a "snapshot" of
the Fund's portfolio holdings at the end of its semi-annual and fiscal year
periods. Additionally, the annual report discusses the factors that materially
affected the Fund's performance for its most recently completed year, including
relevant market conditions and the investment strategies and techniques that
were used.

read the prospectus and keep it for future reference.


FORMS 1099 AND 5498. Each year you will receive a Form 1099-DIV, showing the
source of distributions for the preceding year and a Form 1099-B showing shares
you sold during the year. If you contributed to an IRA during the year, you will
receive a Form 5498 verifying your contribution.


                             DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS

All net investment income and realized capital gains are distributed to
shareholders.

     o    Dividend and capital gain distributions are reinvested in additional
          Fund shares in your account unless you select another option on your
          New Account Form.

     o    Distributions that are not reinvested are paid by check or transmitted
          to your bank account via ACH. If the Post Office cannot deliver your
          check, or if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund
          reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check in your account
          at the NAV on the business day of the reinvestment and to reinvest all
          subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. No interest accrues on
          amounts represented by uncashed distribution or redemption checks.

     o    The Fund declares and pays income dividends (if any) and capital gains
          distributions (if any) annually. Both are usually declared and paid in
          December to shareholders of record on a specified date that month.

TAX INFORMATION

The following discussion is intended to summarize certain federal income tax
considerations applicable to an investment in the Fund. It does not address
state, local, or foreign income or other taxes, and is not meant to be tax
advice. For tax advice, please consult with your tax adviser.








                                       29
<PAGE>   65


TAXES WHEN YOU SELL SHARES

When you sell shares in the Fund, you may realize a capital gain or loss. An
exchange of shares of one Fund for shares of the other Fund is generally
considered a sale for tax purposes.

In January of each year, you will be sent Form 1099-B indicating the date and
amount of each sale of Fund shares you made during the prior year. This
information will also be reported to the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS").
The Fund will report to you the gain or loss on the shares you sold during the
prior year, based on the "average cost," single category method. This
calculation of gain or loss will not be reported to the IRS, and you do not have
to use it in determining your gain or loss. You may calculate your cost basis in
the shares sold using other methods acceptable to the IRS, such as "specific
identification."

The Fund will send you a confirmation immediately following each transaction you
make (except for systematic purchases and redemptions) and a year-end statement
detailing all your transactions in the Fund account during the year.

TAXES ON FUND DISTRIBUTIONS

The following does not apply to qualified retirement accounts, such as IRAs,
which are not subject to income tax.

In January of each year, you will be sent Form 1099-DIV indicating the tax
status of any dividend and capital gain distributions made to you. This
information will also be reported to the IRS. Distributions are generally
taxable to you in the year in which they were paid. Distributions are taxable
whether reinvested in additional shares or received in cash. You will be sent
any additional information you need to determine your taxes on Fund
distributions, such as the portion of your dividends, if any, that may be exempt
from state income taxes.

The tax treatment of a capital gain distribution is determined by how long the
Fund held the portfolio securities generating the capital gains, not how long
you held shares in the Fund. Distributions of short-term capital gains, which
arise from the sale of securities held by the Fund for one year or less, are
taxable at ordinary income rates of up to 39.6% for individuals. Distributions
of long-term capital gains, which arise from the sale of securities held by the
Fund for more than one year, are generally taxed at a rate of 20% for
individuals. Different rates apply to corporations.

If you realized a loss on the sale of Fund shares that you held six months or
less, your short-term loss will be reclassified to a long-term loss to the
extent of any long-term capital gain distribution received during the period you
held the shares.

TAX EFFECT OF BUYING SHARES BEFORE A CAPITAL GAIN OR DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION

If you buy shares shortly before or on the "record date" - the date that
establishes you as the person to receive the upcoming distribution - you will
receive a portion of the money you just





                                       30
<PAGE>   66


invested in the form of a taxable distribution. Therefore, you may wish to find
out the Fund's record date before investing. Of course, the Fund's share price
may, at any time, reflect undistributed capital gains or income and unrealized
appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions.

Shareholders are urged to consult their tax adviser to discuss the tax
implications of an investment in the Fund.

FUND OVERVIEW

WHAT ARE THE OBJECTIVE AND PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES OF THE E-HARMON NET30
INDEX FUND?

E-HARMON NET30 INDEX FUND seeks to provide investment results that correspond to
the performance of the e-harmon Net30 Index. The Fund will invest at least 80%
of its total assets in equity securities that comprise the Net30 Index in the
same proportions as those of the index. e-harmon Net30 Index is an unmanaged
group of the top 30 Internet companies ranked by total revenues. The Adviser
will sell a security within a reasonable time after it is removed from the
Index.

The availability of assets for investment in the start-up period and the
availability of the stocks suitable for the Fund's portfolio may affect the
ability of the Fund to invest in the complete proportions of the Index. Tracking
with the Index will be monitored on a daily basis.

The e-harmon Net30 Index is compiled by the Adviser as a modified market
capitalization weighted index that limits the weighting of any single stock to
8% of the total capitalization of the companies in the index at the time of each
quarterly rebalancing. The effect of this weighting restriction is to limit the
impact that any single stock might have on the performance of the index.

The Fund may also invest in stock index futures contracts and futures contracts
on equity securities.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

Stock Index Risk. As an index fund, the Adviser will attempt to match its
portfolio to stocks comprising the Index. The Adviser will not actively manage
the Fund and will not attempt to maximize its performance by purchasing or
selling securities other than to track the Index. Potential tracking
differences, brokerage costs and the Fund's operating expenses may cause the
Fund's return to be lower than that of the Net30 Index.

Market Risk. As with all equity funds, the Fund's share prices may decline
because of weakness in the broad market, the Internet sector, other technology
sectors, a particular industry, or specific holdings. The equity market as a
whole may decline for many reasons, including adverse political or economic
developments here or abroad, changes in investor psychology, or heavy
institutional selling. The prospects for an industry or company may deteriorate
because of a variety of factors, including earnings surprises or changes in the
competitive environment.

Internet Companies. The Fund will invest primarily in companies engaged in
Internet related business activities. The value of such companies is
particularly vulnerable to rapidly changing technology, government regulation
and relatively high risks of obsolescence caused by scientific and technological
advances. The Fund may involve significantly greater risks and therefore may
experience greater volatility than a mutual fund that does not concentrate its
investments in this industry.


                                        1


<PAGE>   72


Technology and Research Companies. The Fund's investment strategies pose
investment risks specific to the Internet sector. Companies in the rapidly
changing Internet industry may face unusually high price volatility, both gains
and losses. A portfolio focused primarily on these stocks is likely to be much
more volatile than one with broader diversification that includes investments in
more economic sectors.

Derivatives. The Fund may enter in to futures contracts in order to enable it to
track the Index more closely or to hedge a portion of its portfolio. These
strategies may involve costs and can make the Fund more volatile.

Small Companies. To the extent that the Fund has significant investments in
smaller companies or those with less than three years of operating history,
which may not have established products or more experienced management, the
level of risk will be increased.

Non-diversification. The Fund is non-diversified under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, which means that there is no restriction under the 1940 Act on how
much the Fund may invest in the securities of any one issuer. However, in order
to qualify for certain tax treatment the Fund will not invest more than 25% of
total assets in any one issuer. See "Investment Policies and Strategies -
Non-Diversification." Accordingly, each Fund may be more susceptible to the
effects of adverse economic, political or regulatory developments affecting a
single issuer or industry sector than funds that are diversified.

Mutual fund shares are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed by, any
depository institution. Shares are not insured by the FDIC, Federal Reserve, or
any other government agency, and are subject to investment risks, including
possible loss of the principal amount invested.

As with any mutual fund, there can be no guarantee the Fund will achieve its
objectives. The Fund's share price may decline, so when you sell your shares,
you may lose money. The Fund is not a complete investment program.

The Fund can be used in both regular and tax-deferred accounts, such as IRAs.
See "Distributions and Taxes."

HOW CAN YOU TELL IF THE FUND MAY BE AN APPROPRIATE INVESTMENT?

         The Fund may be appropriate if you have:

                  o        a long-term investment time horizon

                  o        familiarity with Internet stocks

                  o        tolerance for fluctuations in stock valuations and
                           prices

                  o        no intention to actively trade mutual fund shares

<PAGE>   73



         The Fund is not appropriate if you have:

                  o        a short-term investment time horizon

                  o        little knowledge of Internet stocks

                  o        aversion to fluctuations in stock valuations and
                           prices

                  o        an intention to actively trade mutual fund shares

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND STRATEGIES

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

e-harmon Net30 Index Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in the
equity securities that comprise the e-harmon Net30 Index. The Fund seeks to
provide investment results that correspond to the performance of the e-harmon
Net 30 Index. e-harmon Net30 Index is compiled by the Adviser and is an index of
the top 30 Internet companies ranked by total revenues. e-harmon Capital
Management believes the use of revenue as the primary measurement criteria
results in an index comprised of large Internet companies with promising
prospects for future business success. The Fund may also invest in futures and
options on equity securities in the Net30 Index and stock index futures.

The e-harmon Net30 Index is calculated as a modified market capitalization
weighted index that limits the weighting of any single stock to 8% of the total
capitalization of the companies in the Index. The Index is rebalanced quarterly.
The effect of this weighting restriction is to limit the impact that any single
stock might have on the performance of the index.

In order to track the Index as closely as possible, the Fund will seek to invest
in all of the stocks in the Net30 Index in proportion to their representation in
the Index. When a security is added or dropped from the Index, the Fund will buy
or sell the security accordingly within a reasonable amount of time. Tracking
with the Index will be monitored on a daily basis. Bridge Information

<PAGE>   76



Services, Inc., a financial information service, calculates the index based on
publicly available information.

Pending full investment of the Fund's assets the Fund may not match the exact
weights of the companies comprising the Net 30 Index.

DERIVATIVES

Futures Contracts and Related Options. The Fund may invest up to 25% of net
assets and enter into financial futures contracts and related options on equity
securities and indices of equity securities. A financial futures contract is an
agreement to buy or sell a set quantity of an underlying financial instruments
at a future date or to make or receive a cash payment based on the value of the
instrument where it is a securities index.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND

When you own shares of the Fund, you not only have the ability to participate in
potential increases in share value, you also bear the risk that the value of the
Fund's shares may decline. This section discusses some of the special risks
associated with an investment in the Fund.

STOCK INDEX RISK. The Fund is passively managed, which means it will try to
match its portfolio to the stocks comprising the Net30 Index, but it will not
attempt to maximize its performance by investing in securities not in the Index.
Since the Fund's objective is to seek to provide investment results that
correspond to the performance of the e-harmon Net 30 Index, the Adviser will not
actively look for investment opportunities outside of the index. Potential
tracking differences, brokerage costs and operating expenses may cause the
Fund's return to be lower than that of the Index.

TECHNOLOGY AND RESEARCH COMPANIES AND CURRENCY RISK. The Fund expects to invest
a portion of its assets in securities of companies involved in computing
technologies, or communication technologies (collectively, "technology
sectors"). The potential for wide variation in performance is based on the
special risks common to these stocks. For example, products or services that at
first appear promising may not prove commercially successful or may become
obsolete quickly. Also, increasing competition, rapidly changing markets,
frequent mergers or acquisitions of Internet companies and changes in strategic
alliances among various Internet businesses may have a significant effect on the
financial condition of companies in the Internet industry. Changes in government
policies, such as telephone and cable regulations and antitrust enforcement and
the need for regulatory approvals, can also have a material effect on the
companies in the industry. Typically, these companies' products or services
compete on a global, rather than a predominately domestic or regional basis. The
technology sectors historically have been volatile and securities of companies
in these sectors may be subject to abrupt or erratic price movements. In
addition, because these companies compete globally, the securities of these
companies may be subject to fluctuations in value due to the effect of changes
in the relative values of currencies on such companies' businesses. The history
of these markets reflects both decreases and increases in worldwide currency
valuations, and these may reoccur unpredictably in the future.



                                        6
<PAGE>   77



SMALL COMPANIES. The Fund may invest in companies with small market
capitalizations (i.e., less than $500 million) or companies that have limited
product lines or a small share of the market for their products or services
(collectively, "small companies"). Small companies may lack depth of management,
may be unable to internally generate funds necessary for growth or potential
development or to generate such funds through external financing on favorable
terms, and they may be developing or marketing new products or services for
which markets are not yet established and may never become established. Due to
these and other factors, small companies may suffer significant losses, as well
as realize substantial growth. Securities of small companies present greater
risks than securities of larger, more established companies. Historically,
stocks of small companies have been more volatile than stocks of larger
companies and are, therefore, riskier than investments in larger companies.
Among the reasons for the greater price volatility are the less certain growth
prospects of smaller companies, the lower degree of liquidity in the markets for
such stocks, and the greater sensitivity of small companies to changing economic
conditions. Besides exhibiting greater volatility, small company stocks may, to
a degree, fluctuate independently of larger company stocks. Small company stocks
may decline in price as large company stocks increase; or increase in price as
large company stocks decline. Therefore, the value of the e-harmon Net30 Index
Fund shares may be more volatile than the shares of a mutual fund that invests
primarily in larger company stocks.

NON-DIVERSIFICATION. The Fund is non-diversified under the 1940 Act, which means
that there is no restriction on how much the Fund may invest in the securities
of any one issuer. However, to qualify for tax treatment as a regulated
investment company under the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"), the Fund intends to
comply, as of the end of each taxable quarter, with certain diversification
requirements imposed by the Code. Pursuant to these requirements, the Fund will,
among other things, limit its investments in the securities of any one issuer
(other than U.S. Government securities or securities of other regulated
investment companies) to no more than 25% of the value of the Fund's total
assets. In addition, the Fund, with respect to 50% of its total assets, will
limit its investments in the securities of any issuer to 5% of the Fund's total
assets, and will not purchase more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities
of any one issuer. Nevertheless, as a general matter, the Fund may be more
susceptible than a diversified mutual fund to the effects of adverse economic,
political or regulatory developments affecting a single issuer or industry
sector in which the Fund may have investments.

Risks of Derivatives. The Fund's risk is mostly dependent on the types of
securities it purchases and its investment techniques. The use of derivative
instruments exposes the Fund to additional risks and transaction costs. Risks
inherent in the use of derivative instruments include:

         o        movements in securities prices and currency markets that are
                  counter to the direction that a portfolio manager anticipates

         o        imperfect correlation between the price of derivative
                  instruments and movements in the prices of the securities,
                  interest rates or currencies being hedged



                                        7
<PAGE>   78


         o        the skills needed to use these strategies are different than
                  those needed to select portfolio securities

         o        inability to close out certain hedged positions to avoid
                  adverse tax consequences

         o        absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular
                  instrument and exchange-imposed price fluctuation limits,
                  either of which may make it difficult or impossible to close
                  out a position when desired

         o        adverse price movements in an instrument can result in a loss
                  substantially greater than the Fund's initial investment in
                  that instrument (that is, leverage risk)

         o        the risk that the counterparty will not perform its
                  obligations, particularly in the case of privately-negotiated
                  instruments, which could leave the Fund worse off than if it
                  had not entered into the position.

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS

SECURITIES OPTIONS. The Fund may write (sell) covered call options, including
those that trade in the OTC market, to seek to provide a hedge against declines
in the market value of its portfolio securities. The Fund may write covered call
options on securities comprising no more than 5% of the Fund's net assets at the
time of any writing. The Fund may also purchase and write (sell) listed call
options provided that the value of the call options outstanding at any time will
not exceed 5% of the Fund's net assets. The Fund may buy call and put options on
stock indices to seek to hedge against the risk of market or industry-wide stock
price fluctuations.

Risks. The writing of call options is subject to various risks, including the
risk that the Fund will not be able to participate in any appreciation in the
value of the underlying securities above the exercise price.

FOREIGN INVESTMENTS. The Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers or
securities that are principally traded in foreign markets ("foreign
securities"). The Fund does not intend to invest in foreign securities except to
the extent that securities in the Index are foreign securities. To attempt to
reduce exposure to currency fluctuations, the Fund may trade in foreign currency
forward contracts, currency futures contracts and options thereon and securities
indexed to foreign securities. The Fund may also invest in American Depository
Receipts and American Depository Shares, which the Adviser does not consider to
be foreign securities.

Risks. There are certain risks and costs involved in investing in securities of
foreign companies,
such as outlined below:

         o        foreign companies are not generally subject to the uniform
                  accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and
                  practices applicable to U.S. companies; and there may be less
                  public information available about foreign companies than is
                  available about U.S. companies




                                        8
<PAGE>   79


         o        foreign markets have less volume than U.S. markets, and the
                  securities of some foreign companies are less liquid and more
                  volatile than the securities of comparable U.S. companies

         o        there may be less government regulation of stock exchanges,
                  brokers, listed companies and banks in foreign countries than
                  in the United States

         o        the Fund may incur fees on currency exchanges when it changes
                  investments from one currency to another

         o        the Fund's foreign investments could be affected by
                  expropriation, confiscatory taxation, nationalization of bank
                  deposits, establishment of exchange controls, political or
                  social instability or diplomatic developments

         o        fluctuations in foreign exchange rates will affect the value
                  of the Fund's portfolio securities, the value of dividends and
                  interest earned, gains and loses realized on the sale of
                  securities, net investment income and unrealized appreciation
                  or depreciation of investments

         o        possible imposition of dividend or interest withholding by a
                  foreign country

U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. The Fund may invest in U.S. Government securities,
including, U.S. Treasury obligations such as Treasury Bills (maturities of one
year or less) or Treasury Notes (maturities of less than three years).

Risks. The market value of U.S. Government securities will fluctuate with
changes in interest rate levels. Thus, if interest rates increase from the time
the security was purchased, the market value of the security will decrease.
Conversely, if interest rates decrease, the market value of the security will
increase.

TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE INVESTMENTS AND CASH MANAGEMENT. Under normal circumstances
the Fund may make investments in corporate debt securities, commercial paper,
certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and time deposits of U.S. or
foreign banks, obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and its
agencies and foreign governments and their agencies. In response to adverse
market, economic or political conditions, the Fund may temporarily invest up to
100% of the Fund's assets in securities money market instruments or hold cash.

Risks. Investing heavily in these securities limits our ability to achieve the
Fund's investment objectives, but can help preserve the Fund's assets when the
markets are volatile.

BORROWING. The Fund may borrow money from banks and make other investments or
engage in other transactions permissible under the 1940 Act which may be
considered a borrowing. However, the Fund will not purchase securities when bank
borrowings exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets. Presently, the Fund only
intends to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes.

LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. The Fund may lend securities to broker-dealers,
other institutions, or other persons to earn additional income.

Risks. The principal risk is the potential insolvency of the broker-dealer or
other borrower. In this event, the Fund could experience delays in recovering
its securities and possibly capital losses.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, where a
party agrees to sell a security to the Fund and then repurchase it at an
agreed-upon price at a stated time. This creates a fixed return for the Fund and
is, in effect, a loan by the Fund. The Fund's repurchase agreements will be
collateralized.

Risks. If the seller of the repurchase agreement defaults and the value of the
collateral securing the repurchase agreement declines, the Fund may incur a
loss.

                            BUYING AND SELLING SHARES

After you have read this prospectus carefully, here is what you need to know
about buying and selling shares of the e-harmon Net30 Index Fund.

BEFORE YOU INVEST


ACCOUNT REGISTRATION

When purchasing shares, you need to select the appropriate form of account
registration. There are many different types of mutual fund ownership. How you
register your account with the Fund can affect your legal interests, as well as
the rights and interests of your family and beneficiaries. You should always
consult with your legal and/or tax adviser to determine what form of account
registration best meets your needs.

Available forms of registration include:

         o        Individual ownership. If you have reached the legal age of
                  majority in your state of residence, you may open an
                  individual account.

         o        Joint ownership. Two or more individuals may open an account
                  together as joint tenants with right of survivorship, tenants
                  in common or as community property.

         o        Custodial account. You may open an account for a minor under
                  the Uniform Gift to Minors Act/Uniform Transfers to Minors Act
                  for your state of residence.

         o        Business/trust ownership. Corporations, trusts, charitable
                  organizations and other businesses may open accounts.

SHAREHOLDER ACTIVITIES

e-harmon Funds not only invests in Internet companies, but also believes that
the Internet can be a useful tool for shareholders and can benefit both the
shareholder and the Fund. Through the Fund's website, www.e-harmon.com,
investors can view account balances, historical transactions, current prices and
performance information, place transactions, receive statements, confirmations,
reports and other regulatory mailings, and learn more about the Fund and its
adviser. e-harmon Funds encourages you to:

o        obtain an account application by visiting e-harmon.com

o        receive shareholder documents online

o        view account information, such as balances, positions, and transaction
         history online

o        handle simple customer service issues and questions about the Funds
         online


HOW SHARES ARE PRICED

The Fund prices your transaction at the next net asset value ("NAV") determined
after the Fund receives your request in good order, together with the funds
necessary for the transaction. See "Other Buying and Selling Considerations" on
page __ for a definition of "good order." When purchasing shares, the price you
receive is the next determined net asset value plus any applicable sales charge.
When redeeming shares, the price you receive is the next determined net asset
value less any applicable redemption fee. The Fund calculates NAV by taking the
total value of its assets, subtracting its liabilities, and dividing the total
by the number of Fund shares that are outstanding. NAV is determined separately
for each class of shares.

NAV is calculated at the close of regular trading (generally 3:00 p.m. Central
time) each day the New York Stock Exchange is open. The Exchange is closed on
weekends and most national



                                       11
<PAGE>   82


holidays. Because the Fund can invest in foreign securities, the NAV can change
on days when you cannot buy or sell shares.

If the transfer agent (or other financial intermediary with the authority to
accept orders on the Fund's behalf) receives your buy or sell request in good
order before the close of regular trading on the Exchange, you will pay or
receive that day's NAV less any applicable redemption fees. If the transfer
agent (or other financial intermediary with the authority to accept orders on
the Fund's behalf) receives your buy or sell request in good order after the
close of regular trading on the NYSE, you will pay or receive the next
determined NAV less any applicable redemption fees. Shares purchased by wire
will receive the NAV next determined after the Fund receives your completed
application, the wired funds and all required information is provided in the
wire instructions.

Details on how to open an account and take advantage of online services are
described below.

OPENING AND ADDING TO AN ACCOUNT

You may open an account and add to the account either directly with the Fund or
through an Authorized Firm. If you are purchasing shares directly, you have a
number of ways to invest, each as described below. If you are purchasing shares
through an Authorized Firm, your investment professional will take action on
your behalf, and you will not personally perform the steps described below.

MORE YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BUYING SHARES

         Accepting orders. The Fund must receive a properly completed New
Account Application before an initial investment can be made and your account
opened. The Fund may


                                       14
<PAGE>   85


return incomplete applications or checks. Once you place your order, you may not
cancel or revoke it. The Fund may reject any purchase order or refuse a
telephone transaction at any time. The Fund will not accept an account if you
are investing for another person as attorney-in-fact, or an account with "Power
of Attorney" or "POA" in the new Account Application's registration section.

         Certificates. The Fund does not issue stock certificates. You will
receive a statement confirming your purchase.

         Returned checks/insufficient funds, etc. You will be charged a $20
service fee against your account for any check returned or for any incomplete
ACH or other electronic transfer of funds, or for insufficient funds, stop
payment, closed account or other reasons. YOUR PURCHASE WILL BE CANCELLED, AND
YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY RESULTING LOSS TO THE FUND. The Fund may redeem
shares you own in this or another identically registered Fund account as
reimbursement for any such losses. The Fund will bear the loss to the extent it
cannot recover from the investor.

         Purchases Through Authorized Firms. If you buy shares through an
Authorized Firm, their policies may differ from those described here and they
may charge you fees in addition to those described in this prospectus. The Fund
may accept requests to buy additional shares into an Authorized Firm's street
name account only from the Authorized Firm.

         The Fund may authorize service providers and their designees to accept
purchase orders on the Fund's behalf. The Fund considers such orders received
when the service provider accepts them, and prices them at the offering price
calculated after receipt by the service provider.

         The Fund has agreed to allow some service providers to enter purchase
orders for their customers by telephone, with payment to follow. The Fund prices
these telephone orders at the offering price next calculated after the service
provider receives them. The service provider is responsible for placing the
orders promptly and for ensuring that the Fund receives payment within the
agreed-upon period. Otherwise, the provider could be liable for resulting fees
or losses. The Fund will bear the loss to the extent it cannot recover from the
provider.

         OTHER PURCHASE CONSIDERATIONS.

o    You must provide the Fund with a Social Security Number or Taxpayer
     Identification Number before your account can be established. If you do not
     certify the accuracy of your Social Security or Taxpayer Identification
     Number on your account application, the Fund will be required to withhold
     federal income tax at a rate of 31% from all of your dividends, capital
     gain distributions and redemptions.




                                       15
<PAGE>   86


o    The Fund is only offered and sold to residents of the United States. Your
     application will be accepted only if it contains a U.S. address. This
     prospectus should not be considered a solicitation to buy or an offer to
     sell shares of the Fund in any jurisdiction where it would be unlawful to
     do so under the securities laws of that jurisdiction.

SELLING SHARES

You may sell your shares on any day the Fund is open for business by following
the instructions below. Note that when you sell shares, you may realize a
capital gain or loss for federal tax purposes.

Shares purchased through an investment professional must be redeemed by the
investment professional if the professional is the shareholder of record. You
should contact your investment professional for instructions on redeeming
shares. If you purchased shares directly with the Fund, you may redeem those
shares using any of the methods described below.

     redeem as little as $500 and as much as $50,000 by telephone.
o    The Fund will mail proceeds to your address of record, or send by wire ($10
     fee) or electronic funds transfer to the bank account listed in your
     account records. There is also a $12.50 fee for redemptions from IRAs.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BY WIRE:

o    If you choose to redeem your shares by wire, your redemption proceeds will
     be sent to your bank account of record. A $10 fee will be deducted from
     your proceeds.
o    If you wish to have your redemption proceeds sent by wire to a bank account
     other than that of record, you must provide a written request signed by all
     owners of the account with signatures guaranteed.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please note that the Fund may require additional documents for redemptions by
corporations, executors, administrators, trustees and guardians. If you have any
questions about how to redeem shares, or to determine if a signature guarantee
or other documentation is required, please call 1-800-392-6563.

REDEMPTION FEES

Investor Class shares include a redemption fee of .50% of the redemption amount
if you sell your shares after holding them less than 6 months. When you redeem
your shares, your redemption request is processed to minimize the amount of
redemption fee that is payable. The Fund first redeems those shares that are not
subject to a redemption fee (e.g., shares acquired through reinvestment of
dividends or distributions), and then redeems those that have been held the
longest. There are additional transaction charges to sell shares if you redeem
by wire ($10) or you redeem from an IRA account ($12.50) (detailed in your IRA
Disclosure Statement & Custodial Agreement) to cover tax reporting. Transactions
handled through broker-dealers may be subject to additional transaction fees.
Please consult your investment professional before executing an order.

SIGNATURE GUARANTEES.

The Fund will require the signature guarantee of each account owner to redeem
shares in the following situations:

o    to send redemption proceeds to a different address than is currently on the
     account;

o    to have the proceeds paid to someone other than the account's owner;

o    to transmit redemption proceeds by federal wire transfer or ACH to a bank
     other than your bank of record;

o    if a change of address request has been received by the transfer agent
     within the last 30 days; or

o    if your redemption is for more than $50,000.




                                       17
<PAGE>   88


The Fund requires signature guarantees to protect both you and the Fund from
possible fraudulent requests to redeem shares. You can obtain a signature
guarantee from most broker-dealers, national or state banks, credit unions,
federal savings and loan associations or other eligible institutions. A NOTARY
PUBLIC IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SIGNATURE GUARANTOR.

MORE YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SELLING SHARES

         Payment. The Fund normally pays redemption proceeds within two business
days, but may take up to seven days. You can redeem shares purchased by check at
any time. However, while the Fund will process your redemption on the day it
receives your request, it will not pay your redemption proceeds until your check
has cleared, which may take up to 10 calendar days from the date of purchase.
You can avoid this delay by purchasing shares by a federal funds wire. Please
note that this provision is intended to protect the Fund and its shareholders
from loss. Wire payments for redemptions requested by phone will usually be made
on the next business day. Electronic funds transfers will ordinarily arrive at
your bank 2 to 3 banking days after transmission.

         Redeeming Shares Through Authorized Firms. An Authorized Firm may
charge a fee to redeem your Fund shares. If that firm is the shareholder of
record, the Fund will accept redemption requests only from that firm.

         The Fund may authorize service providers and their designees to accept
redemptions on the Fund's behalf. The Fund considers these requests received
when the provider accepts them, and prices them at the next net asset value
calculated.

         Small accounts. All Fund account owners share the high cost of
maintaining accounts with low balances. To reduce this cost, the Fund reserves
the right to close an account when a redemption leaves your account balance
below the applicable initial minimum investment for a class of shares, or you
discontinue the automatic investment plan before you reach the minimum. We will
notify you in writing before we close your account, and you will have 60 days to
add additional money to bring the balance up to the applicable initial minimum
investment or to renew your automatic investment plan. This provision does not
apply to UGMA/UTMA accounts.

         Redemption in Kind. If you sell shares during any 90-day period that
reach the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the value of the Fund's net assets, the
Fund can give you securities from the Fund's portfolio instead of cash. If you
wanted to sell the securities for cash, you would have to pay the costs charged
by a broker.




                                       18
<PAGE>   89


         Additional Redemption Provisions

o    Once we receive your order to sell shares, you may not revoke or cancel it.
     We cannot accept an order to sell that specifies a particular date, price
     or any other special conditions. The Fund does not accept redemption
     requests via fax.

o    If your redemption request exceeds the amount that you currently have in
     your account, your entire account will be redeemed. The automatic purchase
     plan that you have initiated for the account will be cancelled.

o    The Fund reserves the right to suspend the redemption of Fund shares when
     the securities markets are closed, trading is restricted for any reason, an
     emergency exists and disposal of securities owned by the Fund is not
     reasonably practicable, the Fund cannot fairly determine the value of its
     net assets, or the Securities and Exchange Commission permits the
     suspension of the right of redemption or postpones the date of payment of a
     redemption.

o    If you are redeeming from an IRA, please tell us the proper tax withholding
     on your redemption request. If you do not, the Fund will automatically
     withhold 10% of your redemption proceeds.

o    If redeeming shares within 30 days after making an address change, your
     redemption request must be in writing and the signature must be guaranteed.


OTHER BUYING AND SELLING CONSIDERATIONS

GOOD ORDER

The Fund must receive your request to buy or sell shares in good order. The
request must include:

     o   your account number
     o   the number or dollar amount of shares you want to buy or sell
     o   signatures of all owners, exactly as registered on the account
     o   signature guarantees for redemption requests over $50,000
     o   any documentation required for redemptions by corporations,
         partnerships, fiduciaries, estates, trusts, and other organizations


TELEPHONE AND WIRE TRANSACTIONS

o    Only bank accounts held at domestic financial institutions that are
     Automated Clearing House (ACH) members can be used for telephone and
     Internet transactions. It takes 15 calendar days after receipt by the Fund
     of your bank account information to establish this feature. Purchases by
     ACH transfers may not be made during this time.




                                       19
<PAGE>   90


o    In times of drastic economic or market conditions, you may have difficulty
     selling shares by telephone. The Fund reserves the right to temporarily
     discontinue or limit the telephone purchase and redemption privileges at
     any time. If you are unable to reach the Fund by telephone, please send
     your redemption request via the Internet or overnight courier.

o    The Fund reserves the right to refuse a telephone redemption request if the
     transfer agent believes it is advisable to do so. The Fund and its agents
     use procedures reasonably designed to confirm that telephone instructions
     are genuine. These may include recording telephone transactions, testing
     the identity of the caller by asking for account information and sending
     prompt written confirmations. If reasonable procedures are followed, the
     Fund and its service providers will not be liable for any losses due to
     unauthorized or fraudulent instructions.

o    When opening an account by wire, the Fund's transfer agent must receive
     your original executed Account Application to establish shareholder
     privileges and to verify your account information. If the Fund does not
     receive your original application, it can delay payment of redemption
     proceeds and require taxes to be withheld on any redemption or other
     distribution.


TRANSACTIONS THROUGH THE FUND'S WEBSITE

o    You may check your Fund account balance(s) and historical transactions,
     purchase shares in an existing account and sell shares of the Fund through
     the Fund's website at www.e-harmon.com. You automatically have the ability
     to view account balances and transactions by enrolling on the website. You
     also automatically have the ability to complete transactions on the website
     unless you decline them on your account application or call 1-800-392-6563.

o    You will be required to enter into a user's agreement through the website
     in order to enroll for these privileges. In order to conduct online
     transactions, you must have telephone transaction privileges. To purchase
     shares online you must also have ACH instructions on your account because
     payment for purchase of shares online may be made only through an ACH debit
     of your bank account.

o    The Fund imposes a limit of $50,000 on purchase and redemption transactions
     through the website.

o    You should be aware that the internet is an unsecured, unstable,
     unregulated and unpredictable environment. Your ability to use the website
     for transactions is dependent upon the internet and equipment, software,
     systems, data and services provided by various vendors and third parties.
     While the Fund and its service providers have established certain security
     procedures, the Fund, its adviser, its distributor and its transfer agent
     cannot assure you that inquiries, account information or trading activity

o    There also may be delays, malfunctions or other inconveniences associated
     with the Internet, and times when the website is unavailable for
     transactions or other purposes. Should this happen, you should consider
     purchasing or redeeming using another method. Neither the Fund, its
     transfer agent, distributor or adviser will be liable for any such delays,

SIGNATURE GUARANTEES

Generally, whenever you change your account privileges, your bank information,
or your registration information, you need signature guarantees for each
registered account owner. You also sometimes need a signature guarantee when you
sell shares. See "Selling Shares." These guarantee requirements help protect you
from fraud. You can have signatures guaranteed by a U.S. commercial bank or
trust company, a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
or other eligible institutions. A NOTARY PUBLIC IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE GUARANTOR.

MAKING CHANGES TO YOUR ACCOUNT

You may call or write us to make changes to your account. Common changes
include:

Name changes. If your name has changed due to marriage or divorce, send us a
letter of instruction signed with both your old and new names. Include a
certified copy of your marriage certificate or divorce decree or have your
signatures guaranteed.

Address changes. The easiest way to notify us is to return the stub from a
recent confirmation or statement. You can also call the transfer agent with any
changes at 1-800-392-6563. If redeeming shares within 30 days after making an
address change, your redemption request must be in writing and the signature
must be guaranteed.

Transfer of account ownership. Send us a letter including your account number,
number of shares or dollar amount that are being transferred along with the
name, address and Taxpayer Identification Number of the person to whom the
shares are being transferred. All living registered owners must sign the letter.
You will also need to include a signature guarantee. Corporations, businesses
and trusts may have to provide additional documents. In order to avoid delays in
processing account transfers, please call the transfer agent at 1-800-392-6563
to determine the additional documents that are required.


                                DISTRIBUTION PLAN

The Fund has a Distribution Plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, the Fund can pay
for the sale and distribution of its shares, including compensation to the
Distributor and Authorized Firms, at an annual rate of .25% of average daily net
assets. These distribution fees are paid from the Fund's




                                       21
<PAGE>   92


assets on a continuous basis. Over time, the fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

<PAGE>   94


         FORMS 1099 AND 5498. Each year you will receive a Form 1099-DIV,
showing the source of distributions for the preceding year and a Form 1099-B
showing shares you sold during the year. If you contributed to an IRA during the
year, you will receive a Form 5498 verifying your contribution.

                             DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS

All net investment income and realized capital gains are distributed to
shareholders.

o    Dividend and capital gain distributions are reinvested in additional Fund
     shares in your account unless you select another option on your New Account
     Form.

o    Distributions that are not reinvested are paid by check or transmitted to
     your bank account via ACH. If the Post Office cannot deliver your check, or
     if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund reserves the right
     to reinvest your distribution check in your account at the NAV on the
     business day of the reinvestment and to reinvest all subsequent
     distributions in shares of the Fund. No interest accrues on amounts
     represented by uncashed distribution or redemption checks.

o    The Fund declares and pays income dividends (if any) and capital gains
     distributions (if any) annually. Both are usually declared and paid in
     December to shareholders of record on a specified date that month.

TAX INFORMATION

The following discussion is intended to summarize certain federal income tax
considerations applicable to an investment in the Fund. It does not address
state, local, or foreign income or other taxes, and is not meant to be tax
advice. For tax advice, please consult with your tax adviser.

TAXES WHEN YOU SELL SHARES

When you sell shares in the Fund, you may realize a capital gain or loss. An
exchange of shares of one Fund for shares of the other Fund is generally
considered a sale for tax purposes.

In January of each year, you will be sent Form 1099-B indicating the date and
amount of each sale of Fund shares you made during the prior year. This
information will also be reported to the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS").
The Fund will report to you the gain or loss on the shares you sold during the
prior year, based on the "average cost," single category method. This
calculation of gain or loss will not be reported to the IRS, and you do not have
to use it in determining your gain or loss. You may calculate your cost basis in
the shares sold using other methods acceptable to the IRS, such as "specific
identification."




                                       24
<PAGE>   95


The Fund will send you a confirmation immediately following each transaction you
make (except for systematic purchases and redemptions) and a year-end statement
detailing all your transactions in the Fund account during the year.

TAXES ON FUND DISTRIBUTIONS

The following does not apply to qualified retirement accounts, such as IRAs,
which are not subject to income tax.

In January of each year, you will be sent Form 1099-DIV indicating the tax
status of any dividend and capital gain distributions made to you. This
information will also be reported to the IRS. Distributions are generally
taxable to you in the year in which they were paid. Distributions are taxable
whether reinvested in additional shares or received in cash. You will be sent
any additional information you need to determine your taxes on Fund
distributions, such as the portion of your dividends, if any, that may be exempt
from state income taxes.

The tax treatment of a capital gain distribution is determined by how long the
Fund held the portfolio securities generating the capital gains, not how long
you held shares in the Fund. Distributions of short-term capital gains, which
arise from the sale of securities held by the Fund for one year or less, are
taxable at ordinary income rates of up to 39.6% for individuals. Distributions
of long-term capital gains, which arise from the sale of securities held by the
Fund for more than one year, are generally taxed at a rate of 20% for
individuals. Different rates apply to corporations.

If you realized a loss on the sale of Fund shares that you held six months or
less, your short-term loss will be reclassified to a long-term loss to the
extent of any long-term capital gain distribution received during the period you
held the shares.

TAX EFFECT OF BUYING SHARES BEFORE A CAPITAL GAIN OR DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION

If you buy shares shortly before or on the "record date" - the date that
establishes you as the person to receive the upcoming distribution - you will
receive a portion of the money you just invested in the form of a taxable
distribution. Therefore, you may wish to find out the Fund's record date before
investing. Of course, the Fund's share price may, at any time, reflect
undistributed capital gains or income and unrealized appreciation, which may
result in future taxable distributions.

Shareholders are urged to consult their tax adviser to discuss the tax
implications of an investment in the Fund.

HISTORY OF THE TRUST

The Trust was organized as an unincorporated business trust in December 1999
under the laws of the State of Delaware.

CLASSIFICATION

The Trust is an open-end management investment company.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND STRATEGIES

The Prospectus describes the fundamental investment objectives and certain
investment policies and restrictions applicable to the Fund. The following is
additional information for your consideration.

EQUITY SECURITIES

WARRANTS. The Fund may invest in warrants. A warrant is a security that gives
the holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase a given number of
shares of a particular company at a fixed price within a certain period of
time. Warrants generally trade in the open market and may be sold rather than
exercised. The purchaser of a warrant expects the market price of the security
underlying the warrant to exceed the purchase price of the warrant plus the
exercise price of the warrant, thus yielding a profit. Of course, it is
possible that the market price of the security underlying a warrant won't
exceed the exercise price of the warrant before the expiration date of the
warrant. Consequently, the purchaser of a warrant risks the loss of the entire
purchase price of the warrant. Additionally, price movements in the security
underlying a warrant are generally magnified in the price movements of the
warrant. Therefore, the price of a warrant tends to be more volatile than, and
may not correlate exactly to, the price of its underlying security.

CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. The Fund may invest in convertible securities, that is,
securities which convert into common stock. These convertible securities are
typically not rated in one of the four highest rating categories by a
Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organization ("NRSRO"). The yields on
such lower rated securities, which include securities also known as junk bonds,
generally are higher than the yields available on higher-rated securities.
However, investments in lower rated securities and comparable unrated
securities generally involve greater volatility of price and risk of loss of
income and principal, including the probability of default by or bankruptcy of
the issuers of such securities. Lower rated securities and comparable unrelated
securities (1) will likely have some quality and protective characteristics
that, in the judgment of the rating organization, are outweighed by large
uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse conditions and (2) are
predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest
and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligations.
Accordingly, it is possible that these types of factors could, in certain
instances, reduce the value of securities held in the Fund's portfolio, with a
commensurate effect on the value of the Fund's shares.

While the market values of lower rated securities and comparable unrated
securities tend to react less to fluctuations in interest rate levels than the
market values of higher-rated securities, the





                                      B-2
<PAGE>   100


market values of certain lower rated securities and comparable unrated
securities also tend to be more sensitive to individual corporate developments
and changes in economic conditions than higher-rated securities. In addition,
lower rated securities and comparable unrated securities generally present a
higher degree of credit risk. Issuers of lower rated securities and comparable
unrated securities often are highly leveraged and may not have more traditional
methods of financing available to them so that their ability to service their
debt obligations during an economic downturn or during sustained periods of
rising interest rates may be impaired. This risk of loss due to default by such
issuers is significantly greater because lower rated securities and comparable
unrated securities generally are unsecured and frequently are subordinated to
the prior payment of senior indebtedness. The Fund may incur additional
expenses to the extent that it is required to seek recovery upon a default in
the payment of principal or interest on its portfolio holdings. The existence
of limited markets for lower rated securities and comparable unrated securities
may diminish the Fund's ability to (1) obtain accurate market quotations for
purposes of valuing such securities and calculating its net assets value and
(2) sell the securities at fair value either to meet redemption requests or to
respond to changes in the economy or in financial markets.

Certain lower rated debt securities and comparable unrated securities
frequently have call or buy-back features that permit their issuers to call or
repurchase the securities from their holders, such as the Fund. If an issuer
exercises these rights during periods of declining interest rates, the Fund may
have to replace the security with a lower yielding security, thus resulting in
a decreased return to the Fund.

The market for certain lower rated securities and comparable unrated securities
is relatively new and has not weathered a major economic recession. The effect
that such a recession might have on such securities is not known. Any such
recession, however, could disrupt severely the market for such securities and
adversely affect the value of such securities. Any such economic downturn also
could adversely affect the ability of the issuers of such securities to repay
principal and pay interest thereon.

The Fund may invest in convertible securities that provide current income and
are issued by companies with the characteristics described above and that have
a strong earnings and credit record. The Fund may purchase convertible
securities that are fixed-income debt securities or preferred stock, and which
may be converted at a stated price within a specified period of time into a
certain quantity of the common stock of the same issuer. Convertible
securities, while usually subordinate to similar nonconvertible securities, are
senior to common stocks in an issuer's capital structure. Convertible
securities offer flexibility by provided the investor with a steady income
stream (which generally yield a lower amount than similar nonconvertible
securities and a higher amount than common stocks) as well as the opportunity
to take advantage of increased in the price of the issuer's common stock
through the conversion feature. Fluctuations in the convertible security's
price can reflect changes in the market value of the common stock or changes in
market interest rates. At most, 5% of the Fund's net assets will be invested,
at the time of purchase, in convertible securities that are not rated in the
four highest rating categories by one or more NRSROs,s such as Moody's
Investors Services, Inc. ("Moody's") or Standard &





                                      B-3
<PAGE>   101


Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P"), or unrated but determined by the Advisor to be of
comparable quality.

FUTURES, OPTIONS AND OTHER DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

FUTURES CONTRACTS. The Fund may enter into contracts for the purchase or sale
for future delivery of equity securities, financial indices and foreign
currencies. U.S. futures contracts are traded on exchanges which have been
designated "contract markets" by the CFTC and must be executed through a
futures commission merchant ("FCM"), or brokerage firm, which is a member of
the relevant contract market. Through their clearing corporations, the
exchanges guarantee performance of the contracts as between the clearing
members of the exchange.

The buyer or seller of a futures contract is not required to deliver or pay for
the underlying instrument unless the contract is held until the delivery date.
However, both the buyer and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" for
the benefit of the FCM when the contract is entered into. Initial margin
deposits are equal to a percentage of the contract's value, as set by the
exchange on which the contract is traded, and may be maintained in cash or
certain other liquid assets by the Fund's custodian for the benefit of the FCM.
Initial margin payments are similar to good faith deposits or performance
bonds. Unlike margin extended by a securities broker, initial margin payments
do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of the Fund's
investment limitations. If the value of either party's position declines, that
party will be required to make additional "variation margin" payments for the
benefit of the FCM to settle the change in value on a daily basis. The party
that has a gain may be entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount. In
the event of the bankruptcy of the FCM that holds margin on behalf of the Fund,
the Fund may be entitled to a return of margin owed to the Fund only in
proportion to the amount received by the FCM's other customers. The Adviser
will attempt to minimize the risk by careful monitoring of the creditworthiness
of the FCMs with which the Fund does business and by depositing margin payments
in a segregated account with the Fund's custodian.

The Fund intends to comply with guidelines of eligibility for exclusion from
the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" adopted by the CFTC and
the National Futures Association, which regulate trading in the futures
markets. The Fund will use futures contracts and related options primarily for
bona fide hedging purposes within the meaning of CFTC regulations. To the
extent that the Fund holds positions in futures contracts and related options
that do not fall within the definition of bona fide hedging transactions, the
aggregate initial margin and premiums required to establish such positions will
not exceed 5% of the fair market value of the Fund's net assets, after taking
into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such contracts it
has entered into.

The Fund's primary purpose in entering into futures contracts is to protect the
Fund from fluctuations in the value of securities or interest rates without
actually buying or selling the underlying security. For example, if the Fund
anticipates an increase in the price of stocks, and it intends to purchase
stocks at a later time, the Fund could enter into a futures





                                      B-4
<PAGE>   102


contract to purchase a stock index as a temporary substitute for stock
purchases. If an increase in the market occurs that influences the stock index
as anticipated, the value of the futures contracts will increase, thereby
serving as a hedge against the Fund not participating in a market advance. This
technique is sometimes known as an anticipatory hedge. To the extent the Fund
enters into futures contracts for this purpose, the segregated assets
maintained to cover the Fund's obligations with respect to the futures
contracts will consist of other liquid assets from its portfolio in an amount
equal to the difference between the contract price and the aggregate value of
the initial and variation margin payments made by the Fund with respect to the
futures contracts. Conversely, if the Fund holds stocks and seeks to protect
itself from a decrease in stock prices, the Fund might sell stock index futures
contracts, thereby hoping to offset the potential decline in the value of its
portfolio securities by a corresponding increase in the value of the futures
contract position. The Fund could protect against a decline in stock prices by
selling portfolio securities and investing in money market instruments, but the
use of futures contracts enables it to maintain a defensive position without
having to sell portfolio securities.

The ordinary spreads between prices in the cash and futures markets, due to
differences in the nature of those markets, are subject to distortions. First,
all participants in the futures market are subject to initial margin and
variation margin requirements. Rather than meeting additional variation margin
requirements, investors may close out futures contracts through offsetting
transactions which could distort the normal price relationship between the cash
and futures markets. Second, the liquidity of the futures market depends on
participants entering into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking
delivery of the instrument underlying a futures contract. To the extent
participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity in the futures market
could be reduced and prices in the futures market distorted. Third, from the
point of view of speculators, the margin deposit requirements in the futures
market are less onerous than margin requirements in the securities market.
Therefore, increased participation by speculators in the futures market may
cause temporary price distortions. Due to the possibility of the foregoing
distortions, a correct forecast of general price trends by the portfolio
manager still may not result in a successful use of futures.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING FUTURES CONTRACTS. Although the Adviser believes
that use of such contracts will benefit the Fund, the Fund's overall
performance could be worse than if the Fund had not entered into futures
contracts if the portfolio manager's investment judgement proves incorrect. For
example, if the Fund has hedged against the effects of a possible decrease in
prices of securities held in its portfolio and prices increase instead, the
Fund will lose part or all of the benefit of the increased value of these
securities because of offsetting losses in its futures positions. In addition,
if the Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities from its
portfolio to meet daily variation margin requirements. Those sales may be, but
will not necessarily be, at increased prices which reflect the rising market
and may occur at a time when the sales are disadvantageous to the Fund.





                                      B-5
<PAGE>   103


Although the Fund will segregate cash and liquid assets in an amount sufficient
to cover its open futures obligations, the segregated assets would be available
to the Fund immediately upon closing out the futures position, while settlement
of securities transactions could take several days. However, because the Fund's
cash that may otherwise be invested would be held uninvested or invested in
other liquid assets so long as the futures position remains open, the Fund's
return could be diminished due to the opportunity losses of foregoing other
potential investments.

The prices of futures contracts depend primarily on the value of their
underlying instruments. Because there are a limited number of types of futures
contracts, it is possible that the standardized futures contracts available to
the Fund will not match exactly the Fund's current or potential investments.
The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts based on underlying instruments
with different characteristics from the securities in which it typically
invests - for example, by hedging investments in portfolio securities with a
futures contract based on a broad index of securities - which involves a risk
that the futures position will not correlate precisely with the performance of
the Fund's investments.

Futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying
instruments, even if the underlying instruments closely correlate with the
Fund's investments. Futures prices are affected by factors such as current and
anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility of the underlying
instruments and the time remaining until expiration of the contract. Those
factors may affect securities prices differently from futures prices. Imperfect
correlations between the Fund's investments and its futures positions also may
result from differing levels of demand in the futures markets and the
securities markets, from structural differences in how futures and securities
are traded, and from imposition of daily price fluctuation limits for futures
contracts. The Fund may buy or sell futures contracts with a greater or lesser
value than the securities it wishes to hedge or is considering purchasing in
order to attempt to compensate for differences in historical volatility between
the futures contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in
all cases. If price changes in the Fund's futures positions are poorly
correlated with its other investments, its futures positions may fail to
produce desired gains or result in losses that are not offset by the gains in
the Fund's other investments.

Because futures contracts are generally settled within a day from the date they
are closed out, compared with a settlement period of three days for some types
of securities, the futures markets can provide superior liquidity to the
securities markets. Nevertheless, there is no assurance that a liquid secondary
market will exist for any particular futures contract at any particular time.
In addition, futures exchanges may establish daily price fluctuation limits for
futures contracts and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or
downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days when the
price fluctuation limit is reached, it may be impossible for the Fund to enter
into new positions or close out existing positions. If the secondary market for
a futures contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation limits or
otherwise, the Fund may not be able to promptly liquidate unfavorable futures
positions and potentially could be required to





                                      B-6
<PAGE>   104


continue to hold a futures position until the delivery date, regardless of
changes in its value. As a result, the Fund's access to other assets held to
cover its futures positions also could be impaired.

OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS. The Fund may buy and write put and call options
on futures contracts. An option on a future gives the Fund the right (but not
the obligation) to buy or sell a futures contract at a specified price on or
before a specified date. The purchase of a call option on a futures contract is
similar in some respects to the purchase of a call option on an individual
security. Depending on the pricing of the option compared to either the price
of the futures contract upon which it is based or the price of the underlying
instrument, ownership of the option may or may not be less risky than ownership
of the futures contract or the underlying instrument. As with the purchase of
futures contracts, when the Fund is not fully invested it may buy a call option
on a futures contract to hedge against a market advance.

The writing of a call option on a futures contract constitutes a partial hedge
against declining prices of the security or foreign currency which is
deliverable under, or of the index comprising, the futures contract. If the
future's price at the expiration of the option is below the exercise price, the
Fund will retain the full amount of the option premium which provides a partial
hedge against any decline that may have occurred in the Fund's portfolio
holdings. The writing of a put option on a futures contract constitutes a
partial hedge against increasing prices of the security or foreign currency
which is deliverable under, or of the index comprising, the futures contract.
If the futures' price at expiration of the option is higher than the exercise
price, the Fund will retain the full amount of the option premium which
provides a partial hedge against any increase in the price of securities which
the Fund is considering buying.

The purchase of a put option on a futures contract is similar in some respects
to the purchase of protective put options on portfolio securities. For example,
the Fund may buy a put option on a futures contract to hedge its portfolio
against the risk of falling prices or rising interest rates.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING OPTIONS ON FUTURES. If a call or put option the
Fund has written is exercised, the Fund will incur a loss which will be reduced
by the amount of the premium it received. Depending on the degree of
correlation between the change in the value of its portfolio securities and
changes in the value of the futures positions, the Fund's losses from existing
options on futures may to some extent be reduced or increased by changes in the
value of portfolio securities.

The amount of risk the Fund assumes when it buys an option on a futures
contract is the premium paid for the option plus related transaction costs. In
addition to the correlation risks discussed above, the purchase of an option
also entails the risk that changes in the value of the underlying futures
contract will not be fully reflected in the value of the options bought.

FOREIGN CURRENCY FORWARD CONTRACTS. A forward contract is an agreement between
two parties in which one party is obligated to deliver a stated amount of a
stated asset at a specified time in the future and the other party is obligated
to pay a specified amount for the assets at the time of delivery. The Fund may
enter into forward contracts to purchase and sell equity securities, foreign
currencies or other financial instruments. Forward contracts generally are
traded in an interbank market conducted directly between traders (usually large
commercial banks) and their customers. Unlike futures contracts, which are
standardized contracts, forward contracts can be specifically drawn to meet the
needs of the parties that enter into them. The parties to a forward contract
may agree to offset or terminate the contract before its maturity, or may hold
the contract to maturity and complete the contemplated exchange. The following
discussion summarizes the Fund's principal uses of foreign currency forward
exchange contracts ("forward currency contracts").

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts with stated contract values
of up to the value of the Fund's assets. A forward currency contract is an
obligation to buy or sell an amount of a specified currency for an agreed price
(which may be in U.S. dollars or a foreign currency). The Fund will exchange
foreign currencies for U.S. dollars and for other foreign currencies in the
normal course of business and may buy and sell currencies through forward
currency contracts in order to fix a price for securities it has agreed to buy
or sell ("transaction hedge"). The Fund also may hedge some or all of its
investments denominated in a foreign currency or exposed to foreign currency
fluctuations against a decline in the value of that currency relative to the
U.S. dollar by entering into forward currency contracts to sell an amount of
that currency (or a proxy currency whose performance is expected to replicate
or exceed the performance of that currency relative to the U.S. dollar)
approximating the value of some or all of its portfolio securities denominated
in that currency ("position hedge") or by participating in options or futures
contracts with respect to the currency. The Fund also may enter into a forward
currency contract with respect to a currency where the Fund is considering the
purchase or sale of investments denominated in that currency but has not yet
selected the specific investments ("anticipatory hedge"). In any of these
circumstances the Fund may, alternatively, enter into a forward currency
contract to purchase or sell one foreign currency for a second currency that is
expected to perform more favorably relative to the U.S. dollar if the portfolio
manager believes there is a reasonable degree of correlation between movements
in the two currencies ("cross-hedge").

These types of hedging minimize the effect of currency appreciation as well as
depreciation, but do not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying U.S. dollar
equivalent value of the proceeds of or rates of return on the Fund's foreign
currency denominated portfolio securities. The matching of the increase in
value of a forward contract and the decline in the U.S. dollar equivalent value
of the foreign currency denominated asset that is the subject of the hedge
generally will not be precise.

The Fund will cover outstanding forward currency contracts by maintaining
liquid portfolio securities denominated in or whose value its tied to, the
currency underlying the





                                      B-8
<PAGE>   106


forward contract or the currency being hedged. To the extent that the Fund is
not able to cover its forward currency positions with underlying portfolio
securities, the Fund's custodian will segregate cash or other liquid assets
having a value equal to the aggregate amount of the Fund's commitments under
forward contracts entered into with respect to position hedges, cross-hedges
and anticipatory hedges. If the value of the securities used to cover a
position or the value of segregated assets declines, the Fund will find
alternative cover or segregate additional cash or liquid assets on a daily
basis so that the value of the covered and segregated assets will be equal to
the amount of the Fund's commitments with respect to such contracts. As an
alternative to segregating assets, the Fund may buy call options permitting the
Fund to buy the amount of foreign currency being hedged by a forward sale
contract or the Fund may buy put options permitting it to sell the amount of
foreign currency subject to a forward buy contract.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS. Shifting the Fund's
currency exposure from one foreign currency to another removes the Fund's
opportunity to profit from increases in the value of the original currency and
involves a risk of increased losses to the Fund if its portfolio manager's
projection of future exchange rates is inaccurate. Proxy hedges and
cross-hedges may result in losses if the currency used to hedge does not
perform similarly to the currency in which hedged securities are denominated.
Unforeseen changes in currency prices may result in poorer overall performance
for the Fund than if it had not entered into such contracts.

While forward contracts are not currently regulated by the CFTC, the CFTC may
in the future assert authority to regulate forward contacts. In such event, the
Fund's ability to utilize forward contracts may be restricted. In addition, the
Fund may not always be able to enter into forward contracts at attractive
prices and may be limited in its ability to use these contracts to hedge Fund
assets.

OPTIONS ON SECURITIES. In an effort to increase current income and to reduce
fluctuations in net asset value, the Fund may write covered put and call
options and buy put and call options on securities that are traded on United
States and foreign securities exchanges and over-the-counter. The Fund may
write and buy options on the same types of securities that the Fund may
purchase directly.

A put option written by the Fund is "covered" if the Fund (i) segregates cash
not available for investment or other liquid assets with a value equal to the
exercise price of the put with the Fund's custodian or (ii) holds a put on the
same security and in the same principal amount as the put written and the
exercise price of the put held is equal to or greater than the exercise price
of the put written. The premium paid by the buyer of an option will reflect,
among other things, the relationship of the exercise price to the market price
and the volatility of the underlying security, the remaining term of the
option, supply and demand and interest rates.

A call option written by the Fund is "covered" if the Fund owns the underlying
security covered by the call or has an absolute and immediate right to acquire
that security without





                                      B-9
<PAGE>   107


additional cash consideration (or for additional cash consideration held in a
segregated account by the Fund's custodian) upon conversion or exchange of
other securities held in its portfolio. A call option is also deemed to be
covered if the Fund holds a call on the same security and in the same principal
amount as the call written and the exercise price of the call held (i) is equal
to or less than the exercise price of the call written or (ii) is greater than
the exercise price of the call written if the difference is maintained by the
Fund in cash and other liquid assets in a segregated account with its
custodian.

The Fund also may write call options that are not covered for cross-hedging
purposes. The Fund collateralizes its obligation under a written call option
for cross-hedging purposes by segregating cash or other liquid assets in an
amount not less than the market value of the underlying security,
marked-to-market daily. The Fund would write a call option for cross-hedging
purposes, instead of writing a covered call option, when the premium to be
received from the cross-hedge transaction would exceed that which would be
received from writing a covered call option and its portfolio manager believes
that writing the option would achieve the desired hedge.

The writer of an option that wishes to terminate its obligation may effect a
"closing purchase transaction." This is accomplished by buying an option of the
same series as the option previously written. The effect of the purchase is
that the writer's position will be canceled by the clearing corporation.
However, a writer may not effect a closing purchase transaction after being
notified of the exercise of an option. Likewise, an investor who is the holder
of an option may liquidate its position by effecting a "closing sale
transaction." This is accomplished by selling an option of the same series as
the option previously bought.

In the case of a written call option, effecting a closing transaction will
permit the Fund to write another call option on the underlying security with
either a different exercise price or expiration date or both. In the case of a
written put option, such transaction will permit the Fund to write another put
option to the extent that the exercise price is secured by other liquid assets.
Effecting a closing transaction also will permit the Fund to use the cash or
proceeds from the concurrent sale of any securities subject to the option for
other investments. If the Fund desires to sell a particular security from its
portfolio on which it has written a call option, the Fund will effect a closing
transaction prior to or concurrent with the sale of the security.

The Fund will realize a profit from a closing transaction if the price of the
purchase transaction is less than the premium received from writing the option
or the price received from a sale transaction is more than the premium paid to
buy the option. The Fund will realize a loss from a closing transaction if the
price of the purchase transaction is more than the premium received from
writing the option or the price received from a sale transaction is less than
the premium paid to buy the option. Because increases in the market of a call
option generally will reflect increases in the market price of the underlying
security, any loss resulting from the repurchase of a call option is likely to
be offset in whole or in part by appreciation of the underlying security owned
by the Fund.





                                     B-10
<PAGE>   108


The Fund may write options in connection with buy-and-write transactions. In
other words, the Fund may buy a security and then write a call option against
that security. The exercise price of such call will depend upon the expected
price movement of the underlying security. The exercise price of a call option
may be below ("in-the-money"), equal to ("at-the-money") or above
("out-of-the-money") the current value of the underlying security at the time
the option is written. Buy-and-write transactions using in-the-money call
options may be used when it is expected that the price of the underlying
security will remain flat or decline moderately during the option period.
Buy-and-write transactions using at-the-money call options may be used when it
is expected that the price of the underlying security will remain fixed or
advance moderately during the option period. Buy-and-write transactions using
out-of-the-money call options may be used when it is expected that the premiums
received from writing the call option plus the appreciation in the market price
of the underlying security up to the exercise price will be greater than the
appreciation in the price of the underlying security alone. If the call options
are exercised in such transactions, the Fund's maximum gain will be the premium
received by it for writing the option, adjusted upwards or downwards by the
difference between the Fund's purchase price of the security and the exercise
price. If the options are not exercised and the price of the underlying
security declines, the amount of such decline will be offset by the amount of
premium received.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING OPTIONS. The writer of an option may have no
control over when the underlying securities must be sold, in the case of a call
option, or bought, in the case of a put option, since with regard to certain
options, the writer may be assigned an exercise notice at any time prior to the
termination of the obligation. Whether or not an option expires unexercised,
the writer retains the amount of the premium. This amount, of course, may, in
the case of a covered call option, be offset by a decline in the market value
of the underlying security during the option period. If a call option is
exercised, the writer experiences a profit or loss from the sale of the
underlying security. If a put option is exercised, the writer must fulfill the
obligation to buy the underlying security at the exercise price, which will
usually exceed the then market value of the underlying security.

There is no guarantee that either a closing purchase or a closing sale
transaction can be effected. An option position may be closed out only where a
secondary market for an option of the same series exists. If a secondary market
does not exist, the Fund may not be able to effect closing transactions in
particular options and the Fund would have to exercise the options in order to
realize any profit. If the Fund is unable to effect a closing purchase
transaction in a secondary market, it will not be able to sell the underlying
security until the option expires or it delivers the underlying security upon
exercise. The absence of a liquid secondary market may be due to the following:
(i) insufficient trading interest in certain options, (ii) restrictions imposed
by a national securities exchange ("Exchange") on which the option is traded on
opening or closing transactions or both, (iii) trading halts, suspensions or
other restrictions imposed with respect to particular classes or series of
options or underlying securities, (iv) unusual or unforeseen





                                     B-11
<PAGE>   109


circumstances that interrupt normal operations on an Exchange, (v) the
facilities of an Exchange or of the Options Clearing Corporation ("OCC") may
not at all times be adequate to handle current trading volume, or (vi) one or
more Exchanges could, for economic or other reasons, decide or be compelled at
some future date to discontinue the trading of options (or a particular class
or series of options), in which event the secondary market on that Exchange (or
in that class or series of options) would cease to exist, although outstanding
options on that Exchange that had been issued by the OCC as a result of trades
on that Exchange would continue to be exercisable in accordance with their
terms.

The writing of covered put options is similar in terms of risk and return
characteristics to buy-and-write transactions. If the market price of the
underlying security rises or otherwise is above the exercise price, the put
option will expire worthless and the Fund's gain will be limited to the premium
received. If the market price of the underlying security declines or otherwise
is below the exercise price, the Fund may elect to close the position or take
delivery of the security at the exercise price and the Fund's return will be
the premium received from the put options minus the amount by which the market
price of the security is below the exercise price.

The Fund may buy put options to hedge against a decline in the value of its
portfolio. By using put options in this way, the Fund will reduce any profit it
might otherwise have realized in the underlying security by the amount of the
premium paid for the put option and by transaction costs.

The Fund may buy call options to hedge against an increase in the price of
securities that it may buy in the future. The premium paid for the call option
plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by the
Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying
security rises sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Fund.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING OPTIONS ON SECURITIES INDICES. The risks of
investment in index options may be greater than options on securities. Because
index options are settled in cash, when the Fund writes a call option on an
index it cannot provide in advance for its potential settlement obligations by
acquiring and holding the underlying securities. The Fund can offset some of
the risk of writing a call index option position by holding a diversified
portfolio of securities similar to those on which the underlying index is
based. However, the Fund cannot, as a practical matter, acquire and hold a
portfolio containing exactly the same securities as underlie the index and, as
a result, bears a risk that the value of the securities held will vary from the
value of the index.

Even if the Fund could assemble a securities portfolio that exactly reproduced
the composition of the underlying index, it still would not be fully covered
from a risk standpoint because of the "timing risk" inherent in writing index
options. When an index option is exercised, the amount of cash that the holder
is entitled to receive is determined by the difference between the exercise
price and the closing index level on the date when





                                     B-12
<PAGE>   110


the option is exercised. As with other kinds of options, the Fund as the call
writer will not know that it has been assigned until the next business day at
the earliest. The time lag between exercise and notice of assignment poses no
risk for the writer of a covered call on a specific underlying security, such
as a common stock, because there the writer's obligation is to deliver the
underlying security, not to pay its value as of a fixed time in the past. So
long as the writer already owns the underlying security, it can satisfy its
settlement obligations by simply delivering it, and the risk that its value may
have declined since the exercise date is borne by the exercising holder. In
contrast, even if the writer of an index call holds securities that exactly
match the composition of the underlying index, it will not be able to satisfy
its assignment obligations by delivering those securities against payment of
the exercise price. Instead, it will be required to pay cash in an amount based
on the closing index value on the exercise date; and by the time it learns that
it has been assigned, the index may have declined, with a corresponding decline
in the value of its securities portfolio. This "timing risk" is an inherent
limitation on the ability of index call writers to cover their risk exposure by
holding securities positions.

If the Fund has purchased an index option and exercises it before the closing
index value for that day is available, it runs the risk that the level of the
underlying index may subsequently change. If such a change causes the exercised
option to fall out-of-the-money, the Fund will be required to pay the
difference between the closing index value and the exercise price of the option
(times the applicable multiplier) to the assigned writer.

ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES

The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities,
including repurchase agreements with maturities in excess of seven days.

RESTRICTED/RULE 144A SECURITIES. Subject to the 15% limitation, the Board of
Trustees has authorized the Fund to invest in restricted securities where such
investment is consistent with that Fund's investment objective, and has
authorized such securities to be considered liquid to the extent e-harmon
Capital Management LLC (the "Adviser") determines that there is a liquid
institutional or other market for such securities -- for example, restricted
securities that may be freely transferred among qualified institutional buyers
under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act"), and for which a
liquid institutional market has developed. The Board of Trustees will review
any determination by the Adviser to treat a restricted security as a liquid
security on an ongoing basis, including the Adviser's assessment of current
trading activity and the availability of reliable price information. In
determining whether a restricted security is properly considered a liquid
security, the Adviser will take into account the following factors:

     o   the frequency of trades and quotes for the security;

     o   the number of dealers willing to buy or sell the security and the
         number of other potential buyers;

     o   dealer undertakings to make a market in the security;





                                     B-13
<PAGE>   111


     o   the nature of the security and marketplace trades, including the time
         needed to dispose of the security, the method of soliciting offers,
         and the mechanics of transfer; and

     o   such other factors as the Adviser may determine to be relevant to such
         determination.

VENTURE CAPITAL COMPANIES. The Fund expects to invest in venture capital
companies that it determines to be in the "late-stage" or "pre-IPO" stage of
development. The Adviser considers a company to be in the late stage if it has
a developed infrastructure and has commenced earning revenues. The Fund expects
that late-stage companies will undertake an initial public offering within a
period of one to three years. A pre-IPO company is somewhat more developed than
a late-stage company. The Adviser expects to be able to acquire equity
securities for the Fund of pre-IPO companies in private placements within a
year prior to their planned initial public offerings. Of the Fund's venture
capital investments, up to 5% of the Fund's total assets may be invested in
securities of investment funds that invest primarily in venture capital
companies.

RISKS. Late-stage and pre-IPO companies will typically have small market
capitalizations and limited or no liquidity; even after an initial public
offering, liquidity may be limited and the Fund may be subject to contractual
limitations on its ability to sell shares.

BORROWING

The Fund may (1) borrow money from banks and (2) make other investments or
engage in other transactions permissible under the Investment Company Act of
1940 ("1940 Act") which may involve a borrowing, provided that the combination
of (1) and (2) shall not exceed 33-1/3% of the value of the Fund's total assets
(including the amount borrowed), less the Fund's liabilities (other than
borrowings), except that the Fund may borrow up to an additional 5% of its
total assets (not including the amount borrowed) from a bank for temporary or
emergency purposes (but not for leverage or the purchase of investments). The
Fund may also borrow money from other persons to the extent permitted by
applicable law.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. A repurchase agreement is an
instrument under which the Fund acquires ownership of a debt security and the
seller agrees, at the time of the sale, to repurchase the obligation at a
mutually agreed upon time and price, thereby determining the yield during the
Fund's holding period. Although the Fund will enter into repurchase agreements
only with institutions that the Adviser believes present minimal credit risk,
it is conceivable that a repurchase agreement issuer could seek relief under
bankruptcy laws or otherwise default on its obligations under its repurchase
agreement. In that event, the Fund could experience both delays in liquidating
the underlying securities and losses, including: (1) a possible decline in the
value of the underlying security during the period while the Fund seeks to
enforce its rights thereto; (2) possible subnormal levels of income and lack of
access to income during this period; (3) a possible loss on the sale of the
underlying collateral; and (4) expenses of enforcing its rights.

<PAGE>   112


LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

Securities loans are made to broker-dealers or institutional investors or other
persons, pursuant to agreements requiring that the loans be continuously
secured by collateral at least equal at all times to the value of the
securities lent, marked to market on a daily basis. The collateral received
will consist of cash, U.S. Government securities, letters of credit or such
other collateral as may be permitted under the Fund's investment program. While
the securities are being lent, the Fund will continue to receive the equivalent
of the interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities, as well as
interest on the investment of the collateral or a fee from the borrower. The
Fund has a right to call each loan and obtain the securities, within such
period of time which coincides with the normal settlement period for purchases
and sales of such securities in the respective markets. The Fund will not have
the right to vote on securities while they are being lent, but it will call a
loan in anticipation of any important vote.

Risks. The risks in lending portfolio securities, as with other extensions of
secured credit, consist of possible delay in receiving additional collateral or
in the recovery of the securities or possible loss of rights in the collateral
should the borrower fail financially. Loans will only be made to firms deemed
by the Adviser to be of good standing and will not be made unless, in the
judgment of the Adviser, the consideration to be earned from such loans would
justify the risk.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

The Fund may sell a portfolio security, and will reinvest the proceeds,
whenever the Adviser deems such action prudent. The Fund's annual portfolio
turnover rate may vary significantly from year to year. A higher rate of
portfolio turnover may result in higher transaction costs, including brokerage
commissions. Also, to the extent that higher portfolio turnover results in a
higher rate of net realized capital gains to the Fund, the portion of the
Fund's distributions constituting taxable capital gains may increase. The
Adviser does not expect the annual portfolio turnover rates for the Fund to
exceed 100%.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The Trust has adopted the following restrictions as fundamental policies for
the Fund as stated. These restrictions are fundamental policies of the Fund and
may not be changed for any given Fund without the approval of the lesser of (i)
more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund or (ii) 67% or
more of the voting securities present at a shareholder meeting of the Fund if
more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are represented
at the meeting in person or by proxy. The investment restrictions of one Fund
thus may be changed without affecting those of the other Fund. Under the
restrictions, the Fund MAY NOT:

1.       Issue senior securities, except to the extent permitted by the 1940
         Act, including permitted borrowings.

2.       Make loans, except for collateralized loans of portfolio securities in
         an amount not exceeding 331/3% of the Fund's total assets (at the time
         of the most recent loan). This limitation does not apply to purchases
         of debt securities or to repurchase agreements.





                                     B-15
<PAGE>   113


3.       (1) Borrow money from banks and (2) make other investments or engage
         in other transactions permissible under the Investment Company Act of
         1940 ("1940 Act") which may involve a borrowing, provided that the
         combination of (1) and (2) shall not exceed 33-1/3% of the value of
         the Fund's total assets (including the amount borrowed), less the
         Fund's liabilities (other than borrowings), except that the Fund may
         borrow up to an additional 5% of its total assets (not including the
         amount borrowed) from a bank for temporary or emergency purposes (but
         not for leverage or the purchase of investments). The Fund may also
         borrow money from other persons to the extent permitted by applicable
         law.

4.       Invest 25% or more of the Fund's total assets (at the time of the most
         recent investment) in any single industry. The Internet is not

         limitation does not apply to investments in obligations of the US.

5.       Act as an underwriter, except to the extent that, in connection with
         the disposition of portfolio securities, the Fund may be deemed to be

         commitments, and repurchase agreements.

8.       Make short sales of securities or maintain a short position if, when
         added together, more than 25% of the value of the Fund's net assets

         securities borrowed to effect short sales and (ii) allocated to
         segregated accounts in connection with short sales. Short sales

         securities of issuers that engage in real estate operations or

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES

SERVICES

Under an Advisory Agreement, e-harmon Capital Management LLC (which we call the
Adviser) provides the Fund with discretionary investment services.
Specifically, it is responsible for supervising and directing the investments
of the Fund in accordance with the Fund's investment objectives, program, and
restrictions as provided in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional
Information. The Adviser is also responsible for effecting all security
transactions on behalf of the Fund, including the negotiation of commissions
and the allocation of portfolio brokerage. In addition to these services, the
Adviser provides the Fund with certain corporate administrative services,
including: maintaining the Fund's corporate records; registering and qualifying
Fund shares under federal laws; monitoring the financial, accounting, and
administrative functions of the Fund; maintaining relationships with the agents
employed by the Fund such as the Fund's custodian and transfer agent; assisting
the Fund in the coordination of such agents' activities; and permitting the
Adviser's employees to serve as officers, trustees, and committee members of
the Trust without cost to the Fund.

The Advisory Agreement also provides that the Adviser, its members, officers,
employees, and certain other persons performing specific functions for the Fund
will only be liable to the Fund for losses resulting from willful misfeasance,
bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of duty.

MANAGEMENT FEE

The Fund pays the Adviser a management fee ("Fee") of ____% of the average
daily net assets of the Fund annually. The Advisory Agreement between the Fund
and the Adviser provides that the Fund bears all expenses of its operations not
specifically assumed by the Adviser.

FUND EXPENSES

In addition to the management fee, the Fund pays for the following: shareholder
service expenses; custodial, accounting, legal and audit fees; costs of
preparing and printing prospectuses and reports sent to shareholders;
registration fees and expenses; proxy and annual meeting expenses (if any) and
Trustee fees and expenses.

ADMINISTRATION AND FUND ACCOUNTING

Sunstone Financial Group, Inc., 207 East Buffalo Street, Suite 400, Milwaukee,
Wisconsin 53202 ("Sunstone") provides various administrative and fund
accounting services to the Fund under an Administration and Fund Accounting
Agreement dated April _______, 2000 (the "Administration Agreement").
Sunstone's services include, but are not limited to, the following: calculating
the daily net asset value for the Fund; overseeing the Fund's Custodian;
assistance in preparing and filing all federal income and excise tax filings
(other than those to be made by the Fund's Custodian); overseeing the Fund's
fidelity insurance relationships; preparing notice and renewal securities
filings pursuant to state securities laws; compiling data for and preparing
notices to the SEC; preparing financial statements for the annual and
semi-annual reports to the SEC and




                                     B-18
<PAGE>   116


current investors; monitoring the Fund's expenses; monitoring the Fund's status
as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code; monitoring
compliance with the Fund's investment policies and restrictions and generally
assisting the Fund's administrative operations.

Sunstone, at its own expense, and without reimbursement from the Fund,
furnishes office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment, supplies
and clerical and executive personnel for performing the services required to be
performed by it under the Administration Agreement. The Administration
Agreement will remain in effect until _______________ (the "Initial Term") and
thereafter for successive annual periods. After the Initial Term, the
Administration Agreement may be terminated on not less than [90] days' notice,
without the payment of any penalty, by the Board of Trustees of the Trust or by
Sunstone. Under the Administration Agreement, the Fund has agreed to indemnify
Sunstone against all claims except those resulting from the willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence of Sunstone. Sunstone may provide
similar services to others, including other investment companies.

For the foregoing, Sunstone receives a fee on the value of the Fund computed
daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.15 percent of the first $50
million of its average daily net assets, and decreasing as assets reach certain
levels, subject to an annual minimum fee of $_________, plus out-of-pocket
expenses.

TRANSFER AGENT AND DIVIDEND-PAYING AGENT

Sunstone also acts as the Fund's transfer agent and dividend-paying agent. As
such, Sunstone processes purchase and redemption requests for the securities of
the Fund, keeps records of shareholder accounts and transactions, pays
dividends as declared by the Board of Trustees and issues confirmations of
transactions to shareholders. For these services, the Fund pays Sunstone a fee
based on the number of shareholder accounts, transactions and other activities,
subject to a minimum annual fee. Sunstone does not exercise any supervisory
functions over the management of the Fund or the purchase and sale of Fund
securities.

FUND DISTRIBUTION

Sunstone Distribution Services, LLC ("Sunstone Distribution") serves as
distributor to the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement ("Distribution
Agreement"). The offering of the Fund's shares is continuous. The Distribution
Agreement provides that Sunstone Distribution may incur expenses for
appropriate distribution activities that it deems reasonable and which are
primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the Fund, including, but
not limited to, advertising, the printing and mailing of prospectuses to other
than current shareholders, and the printing and mailing of sales literature. At
the direction of the Trust, Sunstone Distribution may enter into servicing
and/or selling agreements with qualified broker/dealers and other persons with
respect to the offering of Shares to the public. Sunstone Distribution's
address is 207 East Buffalo Street, Milwaukee, WI 53202.

Distribution and Service Plan

The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the "Plan"). Only Class A
shares are currently offered. The Plan authorizes payments by the Fund in
connection with the distribution of its shares at an annual rate based on
average daily net assets of .25% for Class A shares.

Payments may be made by the Fund under the Plan for the purpose of financing
any activity primarily intended to result in the sales of shares of the Fund as
determined by the Board of Trustees. Such activities typically include
advertising compensation for sales and sales marketing activities, such as
dealers or distributors; shareholder account servicing; and production and
dissemination of prospectuses and sales and marketing materials to prospective
investors. To the extent any activity is one which the Fund may finance without
a Plan, the Fund may also make payments to finance such activity outside of the
Plan and not subject to its limitations. Payments under the Plan are not tied
exclusively to actual distribution and service expenses, and the payments may
exceed distribution and service expenses actually incurred.

Administration of the Class A Plan is regulated by Rule 12b-1 under the 1940
Act, under which the Board of Trustees is required to receive and review at
least quarterly reports concerning the nature and qualification of expenses
incurred and approve all agreements implementing the Plan. The Plan may be
continued from year-to-year only if the Board of Trustees concludes at least
annually that continuation of the Plan is likely to benefit shareholders.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

The Fund from time to time may enter into agreements with outside parties
through which shareholders hold Fund shares. The shares would be held by such
parties in omnibus accounts. The agreements would provide for payments by the
Fund to the outside party for shareholder services provided to shareholders in
the omnibus accounts.

CUSTODIAN

UMB Bank, n.a., is the custodian for the Fund's U.S. securities and cash, but
it does not participate in the Fund's investment decisions. Portfolio
securities purchased in the U.S. are maintained in the custody of the Bank. UMB
Bank's main office is at Kansas City, Missouri.

[_______________] is the custodian for the Fund's foreign assets held outside

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

INVESTMENT OR BROKERAGE DISCRETION

Decisions with respect to the purchase and sale of portfolio securities on
behalf of the Fund are made by the Adviser. The Adviser is also responsible for
implementing these decisions, including the negotiation of commissions and the
allocation of portfolio brokerage and principal business.

HOW BROKERS AND DEALERS ARE SELECTED

EQUITY SECURITIES

In purchasing and selling equity securities, it is the Adviser's policy to
obtain quality execution at the most favorable prices through responsible
brokers and dealers and, in the case of agency transactions, at competitive
commission rates. However, under certain conditions, the Fund may pay higher
brokerage commissions in return for brokerage and research services. As a
general practice, over-the-counter orders are executed with market-makers. In
selecting among market-makers, the Adviser generally seeks to select those it
believes to be actively and effectively trading the security being purchased or
sold. In selecting broker-dealers to execute the Fund's portfolio transactions,
consideration is given to such factors as the price of the security, the rate
of the commission, the size and difficulty of the order, the reliability,
integrity, financial condition, general execution and operational capabilities
of competing brokers and dealers, their expertise in particular markets and
brokerage and research services provided by them. It is not the policy of the
Adviser to seek the lowest available commission rate where it is believed that
a broker or dealer charging a higher commission rate would offer greater
reliability or provide better price or execution services.

FIXED INCOME SECURITIES

Fixed income securities are generally purchased from the issuer or a primary
market-maker acting as principal for the securities on a net basis, with no
brokerage commission being paid by the client although the price usually
includes an undisclosed compensation. Transactions placed through dealers
serving as primary market-makers reflect the spread between the bid and asked
prices. Securities may also be purchased from underwriters at prices which
include underwriting fees.

With respect to equity and fixed income securities, the Adviser may effect
principal transactions on behalf of the Fund with a broker or dealer who
furnishes brokerage and/or research services, designate any such broker or
dealer to receive selling concessions, discounts or other allowances, or
otherwise deal with any such broker or dealer in connection with the
acquisition of securities in underwritings. The Adviser may receive research
services in connection with brokerage transactions, including designations in a
fixed price offerings.





                                     B-21
<PAGE>   119


HOW EVALUATIONS ARE MADE OF THE OVERALL
REASONABLENESS OF BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS PAID

On a continuing basis, the Adviser seeks to determine what levels of commission
rates are reasonable in the marketplace for transactions executed on behalf of
the Fund. In evaluating the reasonableness of commission rates, the Adviser
considers: (1) historical commission rates, (2) rates which other institutional
investors are paying, based on available public information, (3) rates quoted
by brokers and dealers, (4) the size of a particular transaction, in terms of
the number of shares, dollar amount, and number of clients involved, (5) the
complexity of a particular transaction in terms of both execution and
settlement, (6) the level and type of business done with a particular firm over
a period of time, and (7) the extent to which the broker or dealer has capital
at risk in the transaction.

RESEARCH SERVICES RECEIVED FROM BROKERS AND DEALERS

The Adviser receives a wide range of research services from brokers and
dealers. These services include information on the economy, industries, groups
of securities, individual companies, statistical information, accounting and
tax law interpretations, political developments, legal developments affecting
portfolio securities, technical market action, pricing and appraisal services,
credit analysis, risk measurement analysis, performance analysis and analysis
of corporate responsibility issues. These services provide both domestic and
international perspective. Research services are received primarily in the form
of written reports, computer generated services, telephone contacts and
personal meetings with security analysts. In addition, such services may be
provided in the form of meetings arranged with corporate and industry
spokespersons, economists, and government representatives. In some cases,
research services are generated by third parties but are provided to the
adviser by or through broker-dealers.

Research services received from brokers and dealers are supplemental to the
Adviser's own research efforts and, when utilized, are subject to internal
analysis before being incorporated by the Adviser into its investment process.
As a practical matter, it would not be possible for the Adviser to generate all
of the information presently provided by brokers and dealers. The Adviser pays
cash for certain research services received from external sources. The Adviser
also allocates brokerage for research services which are available for cash.
While receipt of research services from brokerage firms has not reduced the
Adviser's normal research activities, the expenses of the Adviser could be
materially increased if it attempted to generate such additional information
through its own staff. To the extent that research services of value are
provided by brokers or dealers, the Adviser may be relieved of expenses which
it might otherwise bear.

The Adviser has a policy of not allocating brokerage business in return for
products or services other than brokerage or research services. In accordance
with the provisions of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
the Adviser may from time to time receive services and products which serve
both research and non-research functions. In such event, the Adviser makes a
good faith determination of the anticipated research and non-research use of
the product or service and allocates brokerage only with respect to the
research component.





                                     B-22
<PAGE>   120


COMMISSIONS TO BROKERS WHO FURNISH RESEARCH SERVICES

Certain brokers and dealers who provide quality brokerage and execution
services also furnish research services to the Adviser. With regard to the
payment of brokerage commissions, the Adviser has adopted a brokerage
allocation policy embodying the concepts of Section 28(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, which permits an investment adviser to cause an account
to pay commission rates in excess of those another broker or dealer would have
charged for effecting the same transaction, if the Adviser determines in good
faith that the commission paid is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided. The determination may be viewed in
terms of either the particular transaction involved or the overall
responsibilities of the Adviser with respect to the accounts over which it
exercises investment discretion. Accordingly, while the Adviser cannot readily
determine the extent to which commission rates or net prices charged by
broker-dealers reflect the value of their research services, the Adviser would
expect to assess the reasonableness of commissions in light of the total
brokerage and research services provided by each particular broker. The Adviser
may receive research, as defined in Section 28(e), in connection with selling
concessions and designations in fixed price offerings in which the Fund
participates.

INTERNAL ALLOCATION PROCEDURES

The Adviser has a policy of not precommitting a specific amount of business to
any broker or dealer over any specific time period. Brokerage placement is
determined by the needs of a specific transaction such as market-making,
availability of a buyer or seller of a particular security, or specialized
execution skills. However, the Adviser does have an internal brokerage
allocation procedure for that portion of its discretionary client brokerage
business where special needs do not exist, or where the business may be
allocated among several brokers or dealers which are able to meet the needs of
the transaction.

Each year, the Adviser assesses the contribution of the brokerage and research
services provided by brokers or dealers, and attempts to allocate a portion of
its brokerage business in response to these assessments. The investment team
seeks to evaluate the brokerage and research services they receive from brokers
or dealers and make judgments as to the level of business which would recognize
such services. In addition, brokers or dealers sometimes suggest a level of
business they would like to receive in return for the various brokerage and
research services they provide. Actual brokerage received by any firm may be
less than the suggested allocations but can, and often does, exceed the
suggestions, because the total business is allocated on the basis of all the
considerations described above. In no case is a broker or dealer excluded from
receiving business from the Adviser because it has not been identified as
providing research services.

MISCELLANEOUS

The Adviser's brokerage allocation policy is consistently applied to all its
fully discretionary accounts, which represent a substantial majority of all
assets under management. Research services furnished by brokers or dealers
through which the Adviser effects securities transactions may be used in
servicing all accounts (including non-Fund accounts) managed by the Adviser.
Conversely, research services received from brokers or dealers which execute
transactions for the





                                     B-23
<PAGE>   121


Fund are not necessarily used by the Adviser exclusively in connection with the
management of the Fund. From time to time, orders for clients may be placed
through a computerized transaction network.

The Fund does not allocate business to any broker-dealer on the basis of sales
of the Fund's shares. However, this does not mean that broker-dealers who
purchase Fund shares for their clients will not receive business from the Fund.

Some of the Adviser's other clients have investment objectives and programs
similar to those of the Fund. The Adviser may occasionally make recommendations
to other clients which result in their purchasing or selling securities
simultaneously with the Fund. As a result, the demand for securities being
purchased or the supply of securities being sold may increase, and this could
have an adverse effect on the price of those securities. It is the Adviser's
policy not to favor one client over another in making recommendations or in
placing orders. The Adviser frequently follows the practice of grouping orders
of various clients for execution which generally results in lower commission
rates being attained. In certain cases, where the aggregate order is executed
in a series of transactions at various prices on a given day, each
participating client's proportionate share of such order reflects the average
price paid or received with respect to the total order.

At the present time, the Adviser does not recapture commissions or underwriting
discounts or selling group concessions in connection with taxable securities
acquired in underwritten offerings.

TRADE ALLOCATION POLICIES

The Adviser has developed written trade allocation guidelines for its accounts.
Generally, when the amount of securities available in a public offering or the
secondary market is insufficient to satisfy the volume or price requirements
for the participating client portfolios, the guidelines require a pro-rata
allocation based upon the amounts initially requested by each portfolio
manager. In allocating trades made on combined basis, the Adviser seeks to
achieve the same net unit price of the securities for each participating
client. Because a pro-rata allocation may not always adequately accommodate all
facts and circumstances, the guidelines provide for exceptions to allocate
trades on an adjusted, pro-rata basis. Examples of where adjustments may be
made include: (1) reallocations to recognize the efforts of a portfolio manager
in negotiating a transaction or a private placement, (2) reallocations to
eliminate de minimis positions, (3) priority for accounts with specialized
investment policies and objectives and (4) reallocations in light of a
participating portfolio's characteristics (e.g., industry or issuer
concentration, duration, and credit exposure).

PRICING OF SECURITIES

Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities exchange are
valued at the last quoted sales price at the time the valuations are made. A
security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the
quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such
security. Listed securities not traded on a particular day and securities
regularly traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the mean of the
latest bid and asked prices. Other equity





                                     B-24
<PAGE>   122


securities are valued at a price within the limits of the latest bid and asked
prices deemed by the Board of Trustees, or by persons delegated by the Board,
best to reflect fair value.

Debt securities are generally traded in the over-the-counter market and are
valued at a price deemed best to reflect fair value as quoted by dealers who
make markets in these securities or by an independent pricing service.
Short-term debt securities are valued at their amortized cost in local currency
which, when combined with accrued interest, approximates fair value.
Investments in mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share
of the mutual fund on the day of valuation. In the absence of a last sale
price, purchased and written options are valued at the mean of the latest bid
and asked prices, respectively.

For the purposes of determining the Fund's net asset value per share, the U.S.
dollar value of all assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign
currencies is determined by using the mean of the bid and offer prices of such
currencies against U.S. dollars quoted by a major bank. Assets and liabilities
for which the above valuation procedures are inappropriate or are deemed not to
reflect fair value, are stated at fair value as determined in good faith by or
under the supervision of the officers of the Trust, as authorized by the Board
of Trustees.

NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE

The Fund's net asset value per share is determined by subtracting its
liabilities (including accrued expenses and dividends payable) from its total
assets (the market value of the securities the Fund holds plus cash and other
assets, including income accrued but not yet received) and dividing the result
by the total number of shares outstanding. The net asset value per share of the
Fund is normally calculated as of the close of trading (generally 3 p.m.
Central time) on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") every day the NYSE is
open for trading. The NYSE is closed on the following days: New Year's Day, Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

Determination of net asset value (and the offering, redemption and repurchase
of shares) for the Fund may be suspended at times (1) during which the NYSE is
closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (2) during which
trading on the NYSE is restricted, (3) during which an emergency exists as a
result of which disposal by the Fund of securities owned by it is not
reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund fairly
to determine the value of its net assets, or (4) during which a governmental
body having jurisdiction over the Fund may by order permit such a suspension
for the protection of the Fund's shareholders; provided that applicable rules
and regulations of the SEC shall govern as to whether the conditions prescribed
in (2), (3), or (4) exist.

TAX STATUS

The Fund intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
Qualification as a regulated investment company essentially allows the Fund
(but not its shareholders) to avoid paying federal income tax on ordinary
income and capital gains which are distributed to shareholders. In addition, it
permits net capital gains (the excess of net long-term capital gains over net
short-term





                                     B-25
<PAGE>   123


capital losses) of the Fund to be treated as long-term capital gains of the
Fund's shareholders, regardless of how long the shareholders have held their
shares.

If the Fund fails to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company
under the Code, that Fund will not be afforded this special treatment. Rather,
the Fund will be subject to federal income tax on its net income and capital
gains at the applicable corporate income tax rate, regardless of whether
distributions are made to shareholders. In addition, any dividend distributions
to the shareholders will constitute ordinary income which will be subject to
federal income tax at the shareholder level.

As a regulated investment company, the Fund will be required to distribute 98%
of its ordinary income in the same calendar year in which such income is
earned. During the calendar year, the Fund is also required to distribute 98%
of the capital gain net income they earned during the twelve-month period
ending on October 31 of such calendar year. In addition, during the calendar
year, the Fund must distribute all undistributed ordinary income from the prior
year and all undistributed capital gain net income from the twelve-month period
ending on October 31 of the prior calendar year. To the extent they do not meet
these distribution requirements, the Fund will be subject to a non-deductible
4% excise tax on the undistributed amount. For purposes of this excise tax,
income on which the Fund pays income tax is treated as distributed.

At the time of an investor's purchase, the Fund's net asset values may reflect
undistributed income, capital gains, and/or net unrealized appreciation of
securities held by the Fund. A subsequent distribution to an investor of such
amounts, although constituting a return of his or her investment, would be
taxable as a dividend or capital gain distribution. For federal income tax
purposes, dividends and capital gain distributions paid to shareholders in
additional shares are treated the same as if such payments were made in cash. A
portion of the dividends paid by the Fund to corporate shareholders may be
eligible for the 70% dividends-received deduction.

Gains or losses on sales of securities by the Fund will be treated as long-term
capital gains or losses if the securities have been held by it for more than
one year, except in certain cases where the Fund acquires a put or writes a
call thereon or otherwise holds an offsetting position with respect to the
securities. Other gains or losses on the sale of securities will be short-term
capital gains or losses. Gains and losses on the sale, lapse or other
termination of options on securities will be treated as gains and losses from
the sale of securities. If an option written by the Fund on securities lapses
or is terminated through a closing transaction, such as a repurchase by the
Fund of the option from its holder, the Fund will generally realize short-term
capital gain or loss. If securities are sold by the Fund pursuant to the
exercise of a call option written by it, the Fund will include the premium
received in the sale proceeds of the securities delivered in determining the
amount of gain or loss on the sale. Certain of the Fund's transactions may be
subject to wash sale, short sale, constructive sale, anti-conversion and
straddle provisions of the Code which may, among other things, require the Fund
to defer recognition of losses. In addition, debt securities acquired by the
Fund may be subject to original issue discount and market discount rules which,
respectively, may cause the Fund to accrue income in advance of the receipt of
cash with respect to interest or cause gains to be treated as ordinary income.

Special rules apply to most options on stock indices, future contracts and
options thereon, and foreign currency forward contracts in which the Fund may
invest. These investments will generally constitute Section 1256 contracts
under the Code, and will be required to be "marked to market" for federal
income tax purposes at the end of the Fund's taxable year; that is, treated as
having been sold at market value. Except with respect to certain foreign
currency forward contracts, sixty percent of any gain or loss recognized on
such deemed sales and on actual dispositions will be treated as long-term
capital gain or loss, and the remainder will be treated as short-term capital
gain or loss.

For federal income tax purposes, the Fund is permitted to carry forward their
net realized capital losses, if any, for eight years and thus may realize net
capital gains up to the amount of such losses without being required to pay
taxes on, or distribute, such gains. However, the Fund currently does not have
any net realized capital losses, and thus will not be able to offset any net
realized capital gains.

Dividends and capital gain distributions may also be subject to state and/or
local taxes.

FOREIGN CURRENCY GAINS AND LOSSES

Gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates which occur
between the time the Fund accrues interest or other receivables or accrues
expenses or other liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and the time
the Fund actually collects such receivables or pays such liabilities are
treated as ordinary income or ordinary loss. Similarly, gains or losses on
foreign currency forward contracts or dispositions of debt securities
denominated in a foreign currency attributable to fluctuations in the value of
the foreign currency between the date of acquisition of the security and the
date of disposition also are treated as ordinary gain or loss. These gains or
losses, referred to under the Code as "Section 988" gains or losses, increase
or decrease the amount of the Fund's investment company taxable income
available to be distributed to its shareholders as ordinary income, rather than
increasing or decreasing the amount of the Fund's net capital gain. If Section
988 losses exceed other investment company taxable income during a taxable
year, (1) the Fund would not be able to make any ordinary dividend
distributions, or (2) distributions made before the losses were realized would
be recharacterized as a return of capital to shareholders (as opposed to being
treated as an ordinary dividend) thereby reducing each shareholder's basis in
his or her Fund shares.

Investors should consult their own tax advisers with respect to the particular
tax consequences to them of an investment in the Fund.

PASSIVE FOREIGN INVESTMENT COMPANIES

The Fund may purchase the securities of certain foreign investment funds or
trusts called passive foreign investment companies ("PFICs"). In addition to
bearing their proportionate share of the Fund's expenses (management fees and
operating expenses), the Fund's shareholders will also indirectly bear similar
expenses of any PFICs in which the Fund invests. Capital gains on the sale of
such holdings are considered ordinary income regardless of how long the Fund
holds the investment. In addition, the Fund may be subject to corporate income
tax and an interest charge





                                     B-27
<PAGE>   125


on certain dividends and capital gains earned from these investments,
regardless of whether such income and gains are distributed to the Fund's
shareholders.

To avoid such tax and interest, the Fund intends to treat these securities as
sold on the last day of its fiscal year and recognize any gains for federal
income tax purposes at that time. Deductions for losses are allowable only to
the extent of any gains resulting from these deemed sales for prior taxable
years. Such gains and losses will be treated as ordinary income. The Fund will
be required to distribute any resulting income even though it has not actually
sold the security and received cash to pay such distributions.

Income received by the Fund from sources within foreign countries may be
subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by such countries. Income tax
treaties between certain countries and the United States may reduce or
eliminate such taxes. However, it is impossible to determine in advance the
effective rate of foreign tax to which the Fund will be subject, since the
amount of the Fund's assets to be invested in various countries will vary.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

TOTAL RETURN PERFORMANCE

The Fund's calculation of total return performance includes the reinvestment of
all capital gain distributions and income dividends for the period or periods
indicated, without regard to tax consequences to a shareholder in the Fund.
Total return is calculated as the percentage change between the beginning value
of a static account in the Fund and the ending value of that account measured
by the then current net asset value, including all shares acquired through
reinvestment of income and capital gain dividends.

OUTSIDE SOURCES OF INFORMATION

From time to time, in reports and promotional literature: (1) the Fund's total
return performance, ranking, or any other measure of the Fund's performance may
be compared to any one or combination of the following: (a) a broad-based
index; (b) other groups of mutual funds, tracked by independent research firms
ranking entities, or financial publications; (c) indices of securities
comparable to those in which the Fund invests; (2) the Consumer Price Index (or
any other measure for inflation, government statistics, such as GNP may be used
to illustrate investment attributes of the Fund or the general economic,
business, investment, or financial environment in which the Fund operates; (3)
various financial, economic and market statistics developed by brokers, dealers
and other persons may be used to illustrate aspects of the Fund's performance;
(4) the effect of tax-deferred compounding on the Fund's investment returns, or
on returns in general in both qualified and nonqualified retirement plans or
any other tax advantage product, may be illustrated by graphs, charts, etc.;
and (5) the sectors or industries in which the Fund invests may be compared to
relevant indices or surveys in order to evaluate the Fund's historical
performance or current or potential value with respect to the particular
industry or sector.

OTHER PUBLICATIONS

From time to time, in newsletters and other publications issued by
e-harmon.com, Inc. our mutual fund portfolio managers or analysts may discuss
economic, financial and political developments in the U.S. and abroad and how
these conditions have affected or may affect securities prices or the Fund;
individual securities within the Fund's portfolio; and their philosophy
regarding the selection of individual stocks, including why specific stocks
have been added, removed or excluded from the Fund's portfolio.

SHARES

The Trust was organized as an unincorporated business trust in 1999 under the
laws of Delaware. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
shares of beneficial interest, $.01 par value per share, divided into two
series (the Funds).

e-harmon Internet Fund is divided into three classes, designated Class A, Class
B and Class C shares. Only Class A shares are currently offered. Each class of
shares represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund and is identical
in all respects except that (1) each class is subject to different sales
charges and distribution and/or service fees which will affect performance, (2)
each class has exclusive voting rights on any matter submitted to shareholders
that relates solely to its arrangement and has separate voting rights on any
matter submitted to shareholders in which the interests of one class differ
from the interests of any other class, (3) and only Class B shares have a
conversion feature.

In accordance with the Trust's Declaration of Trust, the Trustees may authorize
the creation of additional series and classes within such series, with such
preferences, privileges, limitations and voting and dividend rights as the
Trustees may determine. The voting rights of the shareholders of a series or
class can be modified only by the vote of shareholders of that series or class.
Shares of the Trust, when issued, are fully paid, nonassessable, fully
transferable and redeemable at the option of the holder. Shares are also
redeemable at the option of the Trust under certain circumstances. Each share
of each class is equal as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except as
noted above, and each class of shares bears the expenses related to the
distribution of its shares. Except for the conversion feature applicable to the
Class B shares, there are no conversion, preemptive or other subscription
rights. In the event of liquidation, each share of the Fund is entitled to its
portion of all of the Fund's assets after all debt and expenses of the Fund
have been paid.

The Trust does not intend to hold annual meetings of shareholders unless
otherwise required by law. The Trust will not be required to hold meetings of
shareholders unless, for example, the election of Trustees is required to be
acted on by shareholders under the 1940 Act. Shareholders have certain rights,
including the right to call a meeting upon the vote of 10% of the Trust's
outstanding shares for the purpose of voting on the removal of one or more
Trustees or to transact any other business. Under the Declaration of Trust, the
Trustees may authorize the creation of additional series of shares (the
proceeds of which would be invested in separate, independently managed
portfolios with distinct investment objectives and policies and share purchase,
redemption and net asset value procedures) with such preferences, privileges,





                                     B-29
<PAGE>   127


limitations and voting and dividend rights as the Trustees may determine. All
consideration received by the Trust for shares of any additional series, and
all assets in which such consideration is invested, would belong to that series
(subject only to the rights of creditors of that series) and would be subject
to the liabilities related thereto. Under the 1940 Act, shareholders of any
additional series of shares would normally have to approve the adoption of any
advisory contract relating to such series and of certain changes in the
investment policies related thereto. The Trustees have the power to alter the
number and the terms of office of the Trustees, provided that always at least a
majority of the Trustees have been elected by the shareholders of the Trust.
The voting rights of shareholders are not cumulative, so that holders of more
than 50 percent of the shares voting can, if they choose, elect all Trustees
being selected, while the holders of the remaining shares would be unable to
elect any Trustees.

HISTORY OF THE TRUST

The Trust was organized as an unincorporated business trust in December 1999
under the laws of the State of Delaware.

CLASSIFICATION

The Trust is an open-end management investment company.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND STRATEGIES

The Prospectus describes the fundamental investment objectives and certain
investment policies and restrictions applicable to the Fund. The following is
additional information for your consideration.

EQUITY SECURITIES

WARRANTS. The Fund may invest in warrants. A warrant is a security that gives
the holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase a given number of
shares of a particular company at a fixed price within a certain period of time.
Warrants generally trade in the open market and may be sold rather than
exercised. The purchaser of a warrant expects the market price of the security
underlying the warrant to exceed the purchase price of the warrant plus the
exercise price of the warrant, thus yielding a profit. Of course, it is possible
that the market price of the security underlying a warrant won't exceed the
exercise price of the warrant before the expiration date of the warrant.
Consequently, the purchaser of a warrant risks the loss of the entire purchase
price of the warrant. Additionally, price movements in the security underlying a
warrant are generally magnified in the price movements of the warrant.
Therefore, the price of a warrant tends to be more volatile than, and may not
correlate exactly to, the price of its underlying security.

CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. The Fund may invest in convertible securities, that is,
securities which convert into common stock. These convertible securities are
typically not rated in one of the four highest rating categories by a Nationally
Recognized Statistical Ratings Organization ("NRSRO"). The yields on such lower
rated securities, which include securities also known as junk bonds, generally
are higher than the yields available on higher-rated securities. However,
investments in lower rated securities and comparable unrated securities
generally involve greater volatility of price and risk of loss of income and
principal, including the probability of default by or bankruptcy of the issuers
of such securities. Lower rated securities and comparable unrelated securities
(1) will likely have some quality and protective characteristics that, in the
judgment of the rating organization, are outweighed by large uncertainties or
major risk exposures to adverse conditions and (2) are predominantly speculative
with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal in
accordance with the terms of the obligations. Accordingly, it is possible that
these types of factors could, in certain instances, reduce the value of
securities held in the Fund's portfolio, with a commensurate effect on the value
of the Fund's shares.

While the market values of lower rated securities and comparable unrated
securities tend to react less to fluctuations in interest rate levels than the
market values of higher-rated securities, the




                                      B-2
<PAGE>   132


market values of certain lower rated securities and comparable unrated
securities also tend to be more sensitive to individual corporate developments
and changes in economic conditions than higher-rated securities. In addition,
lower rated securities and comparable unrated securities generally present a
higher degree of credit risk. Issuers of lower rated securities and comparable
unrated securities often are highly leveraged and may not have more traditional
methods of financing available to them so that their ability to service their
debt obligations during an economic downturn or during sustained periods of
rising interest rates may be impaired. This risk of loss due to default by such
issuers is significantly greater because lower rated securities and comparable
unrated securities generally are unsecured and frequently are subordinated to
the prior payment of senior indebtedness. The Fund may incur additional expenses
to the extent that it is required to seek recovery upon a default in the payment
of principal or interest on its portfolio holdings. The existence of limited
markets for lower rated securities and comparable unrated securities may
diminish the Fund's ability to (1) obtain accurate market quotations for
purposes of valuing such securities and calculating its net assets value and (2)
sell the securities at fair value either to meet redemption requests or to
respond to changes in the economy or in financial markets.

Certain lower rated debt securities and comparable unrated securities frequently
have call or buy-back features that permit their issuers to call or repurchase
the securities from their holders, such as the Fund. If an issuer exercises
these rights during periods of declining interest rates, the Fund may have to
replace the security with a lower yielding security, thus resulting in a
decreased return to the Fund.

The market for certain lower rated securities and comparable unrated securities
is relatively new and has not weathered a major economic recession. The effect
that such a recession might have on such securities is not known. Any such
recession, however, could disrupt severely the market for such securities and
adversely affect the value of such securities. Any such economic downturn also
could adversely affect the ability of the issuers of such securities to repay
principal and pay interest thereon.

The Fund may invest in convertible securities that provide current income and
are issued by companies with the characteristics described above and that have a
strong earnings and credit record. The Fund may purchase convertible securities
that are fixed-income debt securities or preferred stock, and which may be
converted at a stated price within a specified period of time into a certain
quantity of the common stock of the same issuer. Convertible securities, while
usually subordinate to similar nonconvertible securities, are senior to common
stocks in an issuer's capital structure. Convertible securities offer
flexibility by provided the investor with a steady income stream (which
generally yield a lower amount than similar nonconvertible securities and a
higher amount than common stocks) as well as the opportunity to take advantage
of increased in the price of the issuer's common stock through the conversion
feature. Fluctuations in the convertible security's price can reflect changes in
the market value of the common stock or changes in market interest rates. At
most, 5% of the Fund's net assets will be invested, at the time of purchase, in
convertible securities that are not rated in the four highest rating categories
by one or more NRSROs,s such as Moody's Investors Services, Inc. ("Moody's") or
Standard &




                                      B-3
<PAGE>   133


Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P"), or unrated but determined by the Advisor to be of
comparable quality.

FUTURES, OPTIONS AND OTHER DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

FUTURES CONTRACTS. The Fund may enter into contracts for the purchase or sale
for future delivery of equity securities, financial indices and foreign
currencies. U.S. futures contracts are traded on exchanges which have been
designated "contract markets" by the CFTC and must be executed through a futures
commission merchant ("FCM"), or brokerage firm, which is a member of the
relevant contract market. Through their clearing corporations, the exchanges
guarantee performance of the contracts as between the clearing members of the
exchange.

The buyer or seller of a futures contract is not required to deliver or pay for
the underlying instrument unless the contract is held until the delivery date.
However, both the buyer and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" for
the benefit of the FCM when the contract is entered into. Initial margin
deposits are equal to a percentage of the contract's value, as set by the
exchange on which the contract is traded, and may be maintained in cash or
certain other liquid assets by the Fund's custodian for the benefit of the FCM.
Initial margin payments are similar to good faith deposits or performance bonds.
Unlike margin extended by a securities broker, initial margin payments do not
constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of the Fund's investment
limitations. If the value of either party's position declines, that party will
be required to make additional "variation margin" payments for the benefit of
the FCM to settle the change in value on a daily basis. The party that has a
gain may be entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount. In the event of
the bankruptcy of the FCM that holds margin on behalf of the Fund, the Fund may
be entitled to a return of margin owed to the Fund only in proportion to the
amount received by the FCM's other customers. The Adviser will attempt to
minimize the risk by careful monitoring of the creditworthiness of the FCMs with
which the Fund does business and by depositing margin payments in a segregated
account with the Fund's custodian.

The Fund intends to comply with guidelines of eligibility for exclusion from the
definition of the term "commodity pool operator" adopted by the CFTC and the
National Futures Association, which regulate trading in the futures markets. The
Fund will use futures contracts and related options primarily for bona fide
hedging purposes within the meaning of CFTC regulations. To the extent that the
Fund holds positions in futures contracts and related options that do not fall
within the definition of bona fide hedging transactions, the aggregate initial
margin and premiums required to establish such positions will not exceed 5% of
the fair market value of the Fund's net assets, after taking into account
unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such contracts it has entered
into.

The Fund's primary purpose in entering into futures contracts is to protect the
Fund from fluctuations in the value of securities or interest rates without
actually buying or selling the underlying security. For example, if the Fund
anticipates an increase in the price of stocks, and it intends to purchase
stocks at a later time, the Fund could enter into a futures

contract to purchase a stock index as a temporary substitute for stock
purchases. If an increase in the market occurs that influences the stock index
as anticipated, the value of the futures contracts will increase, thereby
serving as a hedge against the Fund not participating in a market advance. This
technique is sometimes known as an anticipatory hedge. To the extent the Fund
enters into futures contracts for this purpose, the segregated assets maintained
to cover the Fund's obligations with respect to the futures contracts will
consist of other liquid assets from its portfolio in an amount equal to the
difference between the contract price and the aggregate value of the initial and
variation margin payments made by the Fund with respect to the futures
contracts. Conversely, if the Fund holds stocks and seeks to protect itself from
a decrease in stock prices, the Fund might sell stock index futures contracts,
thereby hoping to offset the potential decline in the value of its portfolio
securities by a corresponding increase in the value of the futures contract
position. The Fund could protect against a decline in stock prices by selling
portfolio securities and investing in money market instruments, but the use of
futures contracts enables it to maintain a defensive position without having to
sell portfolio securities.

The ordinary spreads between prices in the cash and futures markets, due to
differences in the nature of those markets, are subject to distortions. First,
all participants in the futures market are subject to initial margin and
variation margin requirements. Rather than meeting additional variation margin
requirements, investors may close out futures contracts through offsetting
transactions which could distort the normal price relationship between the cash
and futures markets. Second, the liquidity of the futures market depends on
participants entering into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking
delivery of the instrument underlying a futures contract. To the extent
participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity in the futures market
could be reduced and prices in the futures market distorted. Third, from the
point of view of speculators, the margin deposit requirements in the futures
market are less onerous than margin requirements in the securities market.
Therefore, increased participation by speculators in the futures market may
cause temporary price distortions. Due to the possibility of the foregoing
distortions, a correct forecast of general price trends by the portfolio manager
still may not result in a successful use of futures.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING FUTURES CONTRACTS. Although the Adviser believes
that use of such contracts will benefit the Fund, the Fund's overall performance
could be worse than if the Fund had not entered into futures contracts if the
portfolio manager's investment judgement proves incorrect. For example, if the
Fund has hedged against the effects of a possible decrease in prices of
securities held in its portfolio and prices increase instead, the Fund will lose
part or all of the benefit of the increased value of these securities because of
offsetting losses in its futures positions. In addition, if the Fund has
insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities from its portfolio to meet
daily variation margin requirements. Those sales may be, but will not
necessarily be, at increased prices which reflect the rising market and may
occur at a time when the sales are disadvantageous to the Fund.




                                      B-5

Although the Fund will segregate cash and liquid assets in an amount sufficient
to cover its open futures obligations, the segregated assets would be available
to the Fund immediately upon closing out the futures position, while settlement
of securities transactions could take several days. However, because the Fund's
cash that may otherwise be invested would be held uninvested or invested in
other liquid assets so long as the futures position remains open, the Fund's
return could be diminished due to the opportunity losses of foregoing other
potential investments.

The prices of futures contracts depend primarily on the value of their
underlying instruments. Because there are a limited number of types of futures
contracts, it is possible that the standardized futures contracts available to
the Fund will not match exactly the Fund's current or potential investments. The
Fund may buy and sell futures contracts based on underlying instruments with
different characteristics from the securities in which it typically invests -
for example, by hedging investments in portfolio securities with a futures
contract based on a broad index of securities - which involves a risk that the
futures position will not correlate precisely with the performance of the Fund's
investments.

Futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments,
even if the underlying instruments closely correlate with the Fund's
investments. Futures prices are affected by factors such as current and
anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility of the underlying
instruments and the time remaining until expiration of the contract. Those
factors may affect securities prices differently from futures prices. Imperfect
correlations between the Fund's investments and its futures positions also may
result from differing levels of demand in the futures markets and the securities
markets, from structural differences in how futures and securities are traded,
and from imposition of daily price fluctuation limits for futures contracts. The
Fund may buy or sell futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the
securities it wishes to hedge or is considering purchasing in order to attempt
to compensate for differences in historical volatility between the futures
contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in all cases.
If price changes in the Fund's futures positions are poorly correlated with its
other investments, its futures positions may fail to produce desired gains or
result in losses that are not offset by the gains in the Fund's other
investments.

Because futures contracts are generally settled within a day from the date they
are closed out, compared with a settlement period of three days for some types
of securities, the futures markets can provide superior liquidity to the
securities markets. Nevertheless, there is no assurance that a liquid secondary
market will exist for any particular futures contract at any particular time. In
addition, futures exchanges may establish daily price fluctuation limits for
futures contracts and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or
downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days when the
price fluctuation limit is reached, it may be impossible for the Fund to enter
into new positions or close out existing positions. If the secondary market for
a futures contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation limits or
otherwise, the Fund may not be able to promptly liquidate unfavorable futures
positions and potentially could be required to




                                      B-6
<PAGE>   136


continue to hold a futures position until the delivery date, regardless of
changes in its value. As a result, the Fund's access to other assets held to
cover its futures positions also could be impaired.

OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS. The Fund may buy and write put and call options on
futures contracts. An option on a future gives the Fund the right (but not the
obligation) to buy or sell a futures contract at a specified price on or before
a specified date. The purchase of a call option on a futures contract is similar
in some respects to the purchase of a call option on an individual security.
Depending on the pricing of the option compared to either the price of the
futures contract upon which it is based or the price of the underlying
instrument, ownership of the option may or may not be less risky than ownership
of the futures contract or the underlying instrument. As with the purchase of
futures contracts, when the Fund is not fully invested it may buy a call option
on a futures contract to hedge against a market advance.

The writing of a call option on a futures contract constitutes a partial hedge
against declining prices of the security or foreign currency which is
deliverable under, or of the index comprising, the futures contract. If the
future's price at the expiration of the option is below the exercise price, the
Fund will retain the full amount of the option premium which provides a partial
hedge against any decline that may have occurred in the Fund's portfolio
holdings. The writing of a put option on a futures contract constitutes a
partial hedge against increasing prices of the security or foreign currency
which is deliverable under, or of the index comprising, the futures contract. If
the futures' price at expiration of the option is higher than the exercise
price, the Fund will retain the full amount of the option premium which provides
a partial hedge against any increase in the price of securities which the Fund
is considering buying.

The purchase of a put option on a futures contract is similar in some respects
to the purchase of protective put options on portfolio securities. For example,
the Fund may buy a put option on a futures contract to hedge its portfolio
against the risk of falling prices or rising interest rates.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING OPTIONS ON FUTURES. If a call or put option the
Fund has written is exercised, the Fund will incur a loss which will be reduced
by the amount of the premium it received. Depending on the degree of correlation
between the change in the value of its portfolio securities and changes in the
value of the futures positions, the Fund's losses from existing options on
futures may to some extent be reduced or increased by changes in the value of
portfolio securities.

The amount of risk the Fund assumes when it buys an option on a futures contract
is the premium paid for the option plus related transaction costs. In addition
to the correlation risks discussed above, the purchase of an option also entails
the risk that changes in the value of the underlying futures contract will not
be fully reflected in the value of the options bought.

FOREIGN CURRENCY FORWARD CONTRACTS. A forward contract is an agreement between
two parties in which one party is obligated to deliver a stated amount of a
stated asset at a specified time in the future and the other party is obligated
to pay a specified amount for the assets at the time of delivery. The Fund may
enter into forward contracts to purchase and sell equity securities, foreign
currencies or other financial instruments. Forward contracts generally are
traded in an interbank market conducted directly between traders (usually large
commercial banks) and their customers. Unlike futures contracts, which are
standardized contracts, forward contracts can be specifically drawn to meet the
needs of the parties that enter into them. The parties to a forward contract may
agree to offset or terminate the contract before its maturity, or may hold the
contract to maturity and complete the contemplated exchange. The following
discussion summarizes the Fund's principal uses of foreign currency forward
exchange contracts ("forward currency contracts").

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts with stated contract values
of up to the value of the Fund's assets. A forward currency contract is an
obligation to buy or sell an amount of a specified currency for an agreed price
(which may be in U.S. dollars or a foreign currency). The Fund will exchange
foreign currencies for U.S. dollars and for other foreign currencies in the
normal course of business and may buy and sell currencies through forward
currency contracts in order to fix a price for securities it has agreed to buy
or sell ("transaction hedge"). The Fund also may hedge some or all of its
investments denominated in a foreign currency or exposed to foreign currency
fluctuations against a decline in the value of that currency relative to the
U.S. dollar by entering into forward currency contracts to sell an amount of
that currency (or a proxy currency whose performance is expected to replicate or
exceed the performance of that currency relative to the U.S. dollar)
approximating the value of some or all of its portfolio securities denominated
in that currency ("position hedge") or by participating in options or futures
contracts with respect to the currency. The Fund also may enter into a forward
currency contract with respect to a currency where the Fund is considering the
purchase or sale of investments denominated in that currency but has not yet
selected the specific investments ("anticipatory hedge"). In any of these
circumstances the Fund may, alternatively, enter into a forward currency
contract to purchase or sell one foreign currency for a second currency that is
expected to perform more favorably relative to the U.S. dollar if the portfolio
manager believes there is a reasonable degree of correlation between movements
in the two currencies ("cross-hedge").

These types of hedging minimize the effect of currency appreciation as well as
depreciation, but do not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying U.S. dollar
equivalent value of the proceeds of or rates of return on the Fund's foreign
currency denominated portfolio securities. The matching of the increase in value
of a forward contract and the decline in the U.S. dollar equivalent value of the
foreign currency denominated asset that is the subject of the hedge generally
will not be precise.

The Fund will cover outstanding forward currency contracts by maintaining liquid
portfolio securities denominated in or whose value its tied to, the currency
underlying the




                                      B-8
<PAGE>   138


forward contract or the currency being hedged. To the extent that the Fund is
not able to cover its forward currency positions with underlying portfolio
securities, the Fund's custodian will segregate cash or other liquid assets
having a value equal to the aggregate amount of the Fund's commitments under
forward contracts entered into with respect to position hedges, cross-hedges and
anticipatory hedges. If the value of the securities used to cover a position or
the value of segregated assets declines, the Fund will find alternative cover or
segregate additional cash or liquid assets on a daily basis so that the value of
the covered and segregated assets will be equal to the amount of the Fund's
commitments with respect to such contracts. As an alternative to segregating
assets, the Fund may buy call options permitting the Fund to buy the amount of
foreign currency being hedged by a forward sale contract or the Fund may buy put
options permitting it to sell the amount of foreign currency subject to a
forward buy contract.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS. Shifting the Fund's
currency exposure from one foreign currency to another removes the Fund's
opportunity to profit from increases in the value of the original currency and
involves a risk of increased losses to the Fund if its portfolio manager's
projection of future exchange rates is inaccurate. Proxy hedges and cross-hedges
may result in losses if the currency used to hedge does not perform similarly to
the currency in which hedged securities are denominated. Unforeseen changes in
currency prices may result in poorer overall performance for the Fund than if it
had not entered into such contracts.

While forward contracts are not currently regulated by the CFTC, the CFTC may in
the future assert authority to regulate forward contacts. In such event, the
Fund's ability to utilize forward contracts may be restricted. In addition, the
Fund may not always be able to enter into forward contracts at attractive prices
and may be limited in its ability to use these contracts to hedge Fund assets.

OPTIONS ON SECURITIES. In an effort to increase current income and to reduce
fluctuations in net asset value, the Fund may write covered put and call options
and buy put and call options on securities that are traded on United States and
foreign securities exchanges and over-the-counter. The Fund may write and buy
options on the same types of securities that the Fund may purchase directly.

A put option written by the Fund is "covered" if the Fund (i) segregates cash
not available for investment or other liquid assets with a value equal to the
exercise price of the put with the Fund's custodian or (ii) holds a put on the
same security and in the same principal amount as the put written and the
exercise price of the put held is equal to or greater than the exercise price of
the put written. The premium paid by the buyer of an option will reflect, among
other things, the relationship of the exercise price to the market price and the
volatility of the underlying security, the remaining term of the option, supply
and demand and interest rates.

A call option written by the Fund is "covered" if the Fund owns the underlying
security covered by the call or has an absolute and immediate right to acquire
that security without




                                      B-9
<PAGE>   139


additional cash consideration (or for additional cash consideration held in a
segregated account by the Fund's custodian) upon conversion or exchange of other
securities held in its portfolio. A call option is also deemed to be covered if
the Fund holds a call on the same security and in the same principal amount as
the call written and the exercise price of the call held (i) is equal to or less
than the exercise price of the call written or (ii) is greater than the exercise
price of the call written if the difference is maintained by the Fund in cash
and other liquid assets in a segregated account with its custodian.

The Fund also may write call options that are not covered for cross-hedging
purposes. The Fund collateralizes its obligation under a written call option for
cross-hedging purposes by segregating cash or other liquid assets in an amount
not less than the market value of the underlying security, marked-to-market
daily. The Fund would write a call option for cross-hedging purposes, instead of
writing a covered call option, when the premium to be received from the
cross-hedge transaction would exceed that which would be received from writing a
covered call option and its portfolio manager believes that writing the option
would achieve the desired hedge.

The writer of an option that wishes to terminate its obligation may effect a
"closing purchase transaction." This is accomplished by buying an option of the
same series as the option previously written. The effect of the purchase is that
the writer's position will be canceled by the clearing corporation. However, a
writer may not effect a closing purchase transaction after being notified of the
exercise of an option. Likewise, an investor who is the holder of an option may
liquidate its position by effecting a "closing sale transaction." This is
accomplished by selling an option of the same series as the option previously
bought.

In the case of a written call option, effecting a closing transaction will
permit the Fund to write another call option on the underlying security with
either a different exercise price or expiration date or both. In the case of a
written put option, such transaction will permit the Fund to write another put
option to the extent that the exercise price is secured by other liquid assets.
Effecting a closing transaction also will permit the Fund to use the cash or
proceeds from the concurrent sale of any securities subject to the option for
other investments. If the Fund desires to sell a particular security from its
portfolio on which it has written a call option, the Fund will effect a closing
transaction prior to or concurrent with the sale of the security.

The Fund will realize a profit from a closing transaction if the price of the
purchase transaction is less than the premium received from writing the option
or the price received from a sale transaction is more than the premium paid to
buy the option. The Fund will realize a loss from a closing transaction if the
price of the purchase transaction is more than the premium received from writing
the option or the price received from a sale transaction is less than the
premium paid to buy the option. Because increases in the market of a call option
generally will reflect increases in the market price of the underlying security,
any loss resulting from the repurchase of a call option is likely to be offset
in whole or in part by appreciation of the underlying security owned by the
Fund.




                                      B-10
<PAGE>   140


The Fund may write options in connection with buy-and-write transactions. In
other words, the Fund may buy a security and then write a call option against
that security. The exercise price of such call will depend upon the expected
price movement of the underlying security. The exercise price of a call option
may be below ("in-the-money"), equal to ("at-the-money") or above
("out-of-the-money") the current value of the underlying security at the time
the option is written. Buy-and-write transactions using in-the-money call
options may be used when it is expected that the price of the underlying
security will remain flat or decline moderately during the option period.
Buy-and-write transactions using at-the-money call options may be used when it
is expected that the price of the underlying security will remain fixed or
advance moderately during the option period. Buy-and-write transactions using
out-of-the-money call options may be used when it is expected that the premiums
received from writing the call option plus the appreciation in the market price
of the underlying security up to the exercise price will be greater than the
appreciation in the price of the underlying security alone. If the call options
are exercised in such transactions, the Fund's maximum gain will be the premium
received by it for writing the option, adjusted upwards or downwards by the
difference between the Fund's purchase price of the security and the exercise
price. If the options are not exercised and the price of the underlying security
declines, the amount of such decline will be offset by the amount of premium
received.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING OPTIONS. The writer of an option may have no
control over when the underlying securities must be sold, in the case of a call
option, or bought, in the case of a put option, since with regard to certain
options, the writer may be assigned an exercise notice at any time prior to the
termination of the obligation. Whether or not an option expires unexercised, the
writer retains the amount of the premium. This amount, of course, may, in the
case of a covered call option, be offset by a decline in the market value of the
underlying security during the option period. If a call option is exercised, the
writer experiences a profit or loss from the sale of the underlying security. If
a put option is exercised, the writer must fulfill the obligation to buy the
underlying security at the exercise price, which will usually exceed the then
market value of the underlying security.

There is no guarantee that either a closing purchase or a closing sale
transaction can be effected. An option position may be closed out only where a
secondary market for an option of the same series exists. If a secondary market
does not exist, the Fund may not be able to effect closing transactions in
particular options and the Fund would have to exercise the options in order to
realize any profit. If the Fund is unable to effect a closing purchase
transaction in a secondary market, it will not be able to sell the underlying
security until the option expires or it delivers the underlying security upon
exercise. The absence of a liquid secondary market may be due to the following:
(i) insufficient trading interest in certain options, (ii) restrictions imposed
by a national securities exchange ("Exchange") on which the option is traded on
opening or closing transactions or both, (iii) trading halts, suspensions or
other restrictions imposed with respect to particular classes or series of
options or underlying securities, (iv) unusual or unforeseen




                                      B-11
<PAGE>   141


circumstances that interrupt normal operations on an Exchange, (v) the
facilities of an Exchange or of the Options Clearing Corporation ("OCC") may not
at all times be adequate to handle current trading volume, or (vi) one or more
Exchanges could, for economic or other reasons, decide or be compelled at some
future date to discontinue the trading of options (or a particular class or
series of options), in which event the secondary market on that Exchange (or in
that class or series of options) would cease to exist, although outstanding
options on that Exchange that had been issued by the OCC as a result of trades
on that Exchange would continue to be exercisable in accordance with their
terms.

The writing of covered put options is similar in terms of risk and return
characteristics to buy-and-write transactions. If the market price of the
underlying security rises or otherwise is above the exercise price, the put
option will expire worthless and the Fund's gain will be limited to the premium
received. If the market price of the underlying security declines or otherwise
is below the exercise price, the Fund may elect to close the position or take
delivery of the security at the exercise price and the Fund's return will be the
premium received from the put options minus the amount by which the market price
of the security is below the exercise price.

The Fund may buy put options to hedge against a decline in the value of its
portfolio. By using put options in this way, the Fund will reduce any profit it
might otherwise have realized in the underlying security by the amount of the
premium paid for the put option and by transaction costs.

The Fund may buy call options to hedge against an increase in the price of
securities that it may buy in the future. The premium paid for the call option
plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by the Fund
upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security
rises sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Fund.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING OPTIONS ON SECURITIES INDICES. The risks of
investment in index options may be greater than options on securities. Because
index options are settled in cash, when the Fund writes a call option on an
index it cannot provide in advance for its potential settlement obligations by
acquiring and holding the underlying securities. The Fund can offset some of the
risk of writing a call index option position by holding a diversified portfolio
of securities similar to those on which the underlying index is based. However,
the Fund cannot, as a practical matter, acquire and hold a portfolio containing
exactly the same securities as underlie the index and, as a result, bears a risk
that the value of the securities held will vary from the value of the index.

Even if the Fund could assemble a securities portfolio that exactly reproduced
the composition of the underlying index, it still would not be fully covered
from a risk standpoint because of the "timing risk" inherent in writing index
options. When an index option is exercised, the amount of cash that the holder
is entitled to receive is determined by the difference between the exercise
price and the closing index level on the date when




                                      B-12
<PAGE>   142


the option is exercised. As with other kinds of options, the Fund as the call
writer will not know that it has been assigned until the next business day at
the earliest. The time lag between exercise and notice of assignment poses no
risk for the writer of a covered call on a specific underlying security, such as
a common stock, because there the writer's obligation is to deliver the
underlying security, not to pay its value as of a fixed time in the past. So
long as the writer already owns the underlying security, it can satisfy its
settlement obligations by simply delivering it, and the risk that its value may
have declined since the exercise date is borne by the exercising holder. In
contrast, even if the writer of an index call holds securities that exactly
match the composition of the underlying index, it will not be able to satisfy
its assignment obligations by delivering those securities against payment of the
exercise price. Instead, it will be required to pay cash in an amount based on
the closing index value on the exercise date; and by the time it learns that it
has been assigned, the index may have declined, with a corresponding decline in
the value of its securities portfolio. This "timing risk" is an inherent
limitation on the ability of index call writers to cover their risk exposure by
holding securities positions.

If the Fund has purchased an index option and exercises it before the closing
index value for that day is available, it runs the risk that the level of the
underlying index may subsequently change. If such a change causes the exercised
option to fall out-of-the-money, the Fund will be required to pay the difference
between the closing index value and the exercise price of the option (times the
applicable multiplier) to the assigned writer.

ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES

The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities,
including repurchase agreements with maturities in excess of seven days.

RESTRICTED/RULE 144A SECURITIES. Subject to the 15% limitation, the Board of
Trustees has authorized the Fund to invest in restricted securities where such
investment is consistent with that Fund's investment objective, and has
authorized such securities to be considered liquid to the extent e-harmon
Capital Management LLC (the "Adviser") determines that there is a liquid
institutional or other market for such securities -- for example, restricted
securities that may be freely transferred among qualified institutional buyers
under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act"), and for which a
liquid institutional market has developed. The Board of Trustees will review any
determination by the Adviser to treat a restricted security as a liquid security
on an ongoing basis, including the Adviser's assessment of current trading
activity and the availability of reliable price information. In determining
whether a restricted security is properly considered a liquid security, the
Adviser will take into account the following factors:

         o        the frequency of trades and quotes for the security;

         o        the number of dealers willing to buy or sell the security and
                  the number of other potential buyers;

         o        dealer undertakings to make a market in the security;




                                      B-13
<PAGE>   143


         o        the nature of the security and marketplace trades, including
                  the time needed to dispose of the security, the method of
                  soliciting offers, and the mechanics of transfer; and

         o        such other factors as the Adviser may determine to be relevant
                  to such determination.

VENTURE CAPITAL COMPANIES. The Fund expects to invest in venture capital
companies that it determines to be in the "late-stage" or "pre-IPO" stage of
development. The Adviser considers a company to be in the late stage if it has a
developed infrastructure and has commenced earning revenues. The Fund expects
that late-stage companies will undertake an initial public offering within a
period of one to three years. A pre-IPO company is somewhat more developed than
a late-stage company. The Adviser expects to be able to acquire equity
securities for the Fund of pre-IPO companies in private placements within a year
prior to their planned initial public offerings. Of the Fund's venture capital
investments, up to 5% of the Fund's total assets may be invested in securities
of investment funds that invest primarily in venture capital companies.

RISKS. Late-stage and pre-IPO companies will typically have small market
capitalizations and limited or no liquidity; even after an initial public
offering, liquidity may be limited and the Fund may be subject to contractual
limitations on its ability to sell shares.

BORROWING

The Fund may (1) borrow money from banks and (2) make other investments or
engage in other transactions permissible under the Investment Company Act of
1940 ("1940 Act") which may involve a borrowing, provided that the combination
of (1) and (2) shall not exceed 33-1/3% of the value of the Fund's total assets
(including the amount borrowed), less the Fund's liabilities (other than
borrowings), except that the Fund may borrow up to an additional 5% of its total
assets (not including the amount borrowed) from a bank for temporary or
emergency purposes (but not for leverage or the purchase of investments). The
Fund may also borrow money from other persons to the extent permitted by
applicable law.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. A repurchase agreement is an
instrument under which the Fund acquires ownership of a debt security and the
seller agrees, at the time of the sale, to repurchase the obligation at a
mutually agreed upon time and price, thereby determining the yield during the
Fund's holding period. Although the Fund will enter into repurchase agreements
only with institutions that the Adviser believes present minimal credit risk, it
is conceivable that a repurchase agreement issuer could seek relief under
bankruptcy laws or otherwise default on its obligations under its repurchase
agreement. In that event, the Fund could experience both delays in liquidating
the underlying securities and losses, including: (1) a possible decline in the
value of the underlying security during the period while the Fund seeks to
enforce its rights thereto; (2) possible subnormal levels of income and lack of
access to income during this period; (3) a possible loss on the sale of the
underlying collateral; and (4) expenses of enforcing its rights.

LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

Securities loans are made to broker-dealers or institutional investors or other
persons, pursuant to agreements requiring that the loans be continuously secured
by collateral at least equal at all times to the value of the securities lent,
marked to market on a daily basis. The collateral received will consist of cash,
U.S. Government securities, letters of credit or such other collateral as may be
permitted under the Fund's investment program. While the securities are being
lent, the Fund will continue to receive the equivalent of the interest or
dividends paid by the issuer on the securities, as well as interest on the
investment of the collateral or a fee from the borrower. The Fund has a right to
call each loan and obtain the securities, within such period of time which
coincides with the normal settlement period for purchases and sales of such
securities in the respective markets. The Fund will not have the right to vote
on securities while they are being lent, but it will call a loan in anticipation
of any important vote.

Risks. The risks in lending portfolio securities, as with other extensions of
secured credit, consist of possible delay in receiving additional collateral or
in the recovery of the securities or possible loss of rights in the collateral
should the borrower fail financially. Loans will only be made to firms deemed by
the Adviser to be of good standing and will not be made unless, in the judgment
of the Adviser, the consideration to be earned from such loans would justify the
risk.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

The Fund may sell a portfolio security, and will reinvest the proceeds, whenever
the Adviser deems such action prudent. The Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate
may vary significantly from year to year. A higher rate of portfolio turnover
may result in higher transaction costs, including brokerage commissions. Also,
to the extent that higher portfolio turnover results in a higher rate of net
realized capital gains to the Fund, the portion of the Fund's distributions
constituting taxable capital gains may increase. The Adviser does not expect the
annual portfolio turnover rates for the Fund to exceed 100%.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The Trust has adopted the following restrictions as fundamental policies for the
Fund as stated. These restrictions are fundamental policies of the Fund and may
not be changed for any given Fund without the approval of the lesser of (i) more
than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund or (ii) 67% or more of
the voting securities present at a shareholder meeting of the Fund if more than
50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are represented at the
meeting in person or by proxy. The investment restrictions of one Fund thus may
be changed without affecting those of the other Fund. Under the restrictions,
the Fund MAY NOT:

1.       Issue senior securities, except to the extent permitted by the 1940
         Act, including permitted borrowings.

2.       Make loans, except for collateralized loans of portfolio securities in
         an amount not exceeding 331/3% of the Fund's total assets (at the time
         of the most recent loan). This limitation does not apply to purchases
         of debt securities or to repurchase agreements.

3.       (1) Borrow money from banks and (2) make other investments or engage in
         other transactions permissible under the Investment Company Act of 1940
         ("1940 Act") which may involve a borrowing, provided that the
         combination of (1) and (2) shall not exceed 33-1/3% of the value of the
         Fund's total assets (including the amount borrowed), less the Fund's
         liabilities (other than borrowings), except that the Fund may borrow up
         to an additional 5% of its total assets (not including the amount
         borrowed) from a bank for temporary or emergency purposes (but not for
         leverage or the purchase of investments). The Fund may also borrow
         money from other persons to the extent permitted by applicable law.

4.       Invest 25% or more of the Fund's total assets (at the time of the most
         recent investment) in any single industry. The Internet is not
         considered an industry for purposes of this limitation. This limitation
         does not apply to investments in obligations of the US. Government or
         any of its agencies or instrumentalities.

5.       Act as an underwriter, except to the extent that, in connection with
         the disposition of portfolio securities, the Fund may be deemed to be
         an underwriter for purposes of the 1933 Act.

6.       Purchase securities of other investment companies, except to the extent
         permitted by the 1940 Act, regulations thereunder, or exemptions
         therefrom.

7.       Purchase or sell commodity contracts, except that the Fund may, as
         appropriate and consistent with its investment objectives and policies,
         enter into financial futures contracts, options on such futures
         contracts, foreign currency forward contracts, forward commitments, and
         repurchase agreements.

8.       Make short sales of securities or maintain a short position if, when
         added together, more than 25% of the value of the Fund's net assets
         would be (i) deposited as collateral for the obligation to replace
         securities borrowed to effect short sales and (ii) allocated to
         segregated accounts in connection with short sales. Short sales
         "against-the-box" are not subject to this limitation.

9.       Purchase or sell real estate or any interest therein, except that the
         Fund may, as appropriate and consistent with its investment objectives
         and policies, invest in securities of corporate and governmental
         entities secured by real estate or marketable interests therein, or
         securities of issuers that engage in real estate operations or
         interests therein, and may hold and sell real estate acquired as a
         result of ownership of such securities.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES

SERVICES

Under an Advisory Agreement, e-harmon Capital Management LLC (which we call the
Adviser) provides the Fund with discretionary investment services. Specifically,
it is responsible for supervising and directing the investments of the Fund in
accordance with the Fund's investment objectives, program, and restrictions as
provided in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information. The
Adviser is also responsible for effecting all security transactions on behalf of
the Fund, including the negotiation of commissions and the allocation of
portfolio brokerage. In addition to these services, the Adviser provides the
Fund with certain corporate administrative services, including: maintaining the
Fund's corporate records; registering and qualifying Fund shares under federal
laws; monitoring the financial, accounting, and administrative functions of the
Fund; maintaining relationships with the agents employed by the Fund such as the
Fund's custodian and transfer agent; assisting the Fund in the coordination of
such agents' activities; and permitting the Adviser's employees to serve as
officers, trustees, and committee members of the Trust without cost to the Fund.

The Advisory Agreement also provides that the Adviser, its members, officers,
employees, and certain other persons performing specific functions for the Fund
will only be liable to the Fund for losses resulting from willful misfeasance,
bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of duty.

MANAGEMENT FEE

The Fund pays the Adviser a management fee ("Fee") of ____% of the average daily
net assets of the Fund annually. The Advisory Agreement between the Fund and the
Adviser provides that the Fund bears all expenses of its operations not
specifically assumed by the Adviser.

FUND EXPENSES

In addition to the management fee, the Fund pays for the following: shareholder
service expenses; custodial, accounting, legal and audit fees; costs of
preparing and printing prospectuses and reports sent to shareholders;
registration fees and expenses; proxy and annual meeting expenses (if any) and
Trustee fees and expenses.

ADMINISTRATION AND FUND ACCOUNTING

Sunstone Financial Group, Inc., 207 East Buffalo Street, Suite 400, Milwaukee,
Wisconsin 53202 ("Sunstone") provides various administrative and fund accounting
services to the Fund under an Administration and Fund Accounting Agreement dated
April _______, 2000 (the "Administration Agreement"). Sunstone's services
include, but are not limited to, the following: calculating the daily net asset
value for the Fund; [overseeing the Fund's Custodian]; assistance in preparing
and filing all federal income and excise tax filings (other than those to be
made by the Fund's Custodian); overseeing the Fund's fidelity insurance
relationships; preparing notice and renewal securities filings pursuant to state
securities laws; compiling data for and preparing notices to the SEC; preparing
financial statements for the annual and semi-annual reports to the SEC and




                                      B-18
<PAGE>   148


current investors; monitoring the Fund's expenses; monitoring the Fund's status
as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code; monitoring
compliance with the Fund's investment policies and restrictions and generally
assisting the Fund's administrative operations.

Sunstone, at its own expense, and without reimbursement from the Fund, furnishes
office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment, supplies and
clerical and executive personnel for performing the services required to be
performed by it under the Administration Agreement. The Administration Agreement
will remain in effect until _______________ (the "Initial Term") and thereafter
for successive annual periods. After the Initial Term, the Administration
Agreement may be terminated on not less than [90] days' notice, without the
payment of any penalty, by the Board of Trustees of the Trust or by Sunstone.
Under the Administration Agreement, the Fund has agreed to indemnify Sunstone
against all claims except those resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence of Sunstone. Sunstone may provide similar services to
others, including other investment companies.

For the foregoing, Sunstone receives a fee on the value of the Fund computed
daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.15 percent of the first $50
million of its average daily net assets, and decreasing as assets reach certain
levels, subject to an annual minimum fee of $_________, plus out-of-pocket
expenses.

TRANSFER AGENT AND DIVIDEND-PAYING AGENT

Sunstone also acts as the Fund's transfer agent and dividend-paying agent. As
such, Sunstone processes purchase and redemption requests for the securities of
the Fund, keeps records of shareholder accounts and transactions, pays dividends
as declared by the Board of Trustees and issues confirmations of transactions to
shareholders. For these services, the Fund pays Sunstone a fee based on the
number of shareholder accounts, transactions and other activities, subject to a
minimum annual fee. Sunstone does not exercise any supervisory functions over
the management of the Fund or the purchase and sale of Fund securities.

FUND DISTRIBUTION

Sunstone Distribution Services, LLC ("Sunstone Distribution") serves as
distributor to the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement ("Distribution
Agreement"). The offering of the Fund's shares is continuous. The Distribution
Agreement provides that Sunstone Distribution may incur expenses for appropriate
distribution activities that it deems reasonable and which are primarily
intended to result in the sale of shares of the Fund, including, but not limited
to, advertising, the printing and mailing of prospectuses to other than current
shareholders, and the printing and mailing of sales literature. At the direction
of the Trust, Sunstone Distribution may enter into servicing and/or selling
agreements with qualified broker/dealers and other persons with respect to the
offering of Shares to the public. Sunstone Distribution's address is 207 East
Buffalo Street, Milwaukee, WI 53202.




                                      B-19
<PAGE>   149


Distribution and Service Plan

The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the "Plan") with respect
to Class A, Class B and Class C share of the Fund. The Class A Plan authorizes
payments by the Fund in connection with the distribution of its shares at an
annual rate based on average daily net assets of .25% for Class A shares. The
Class B and Class C Plans authorize payments of (1) .25% of the average daily
net assets of the Class B and Class C shares, respectively, as a service fee and
(2) .75% of the average daily net assets of the Class B and Class C shares,
respectively, for distribution-related expenses (not including the service fee.

Payments may be made by the Fund under the Plan for the purpose of financing any
activity primarily intended to result in the sales of shares of the Fund as
determined by the Board of Trustees. Such activities typically include
advertising compensation for sales and sales marketing activities, such as
dealers or distributors; [shareholder account servicing]; and production and
dissemination of prospectuses and sales and marketing materials to prospective
investors. To the extent any activity is one which the Fund may finance without
a Plan, the Fund may also make payments to finance such activity outside of the
Plan and not subject to its limitations. Payments under the Plan are not tied
exclusively to actual distribution and service expenses, and the payments may
exceed distribution and service expenses actually incurred.

Administration of each Plan is regulated by Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, under
which the Board of Trustees is required to receive and review at least quarterly
reports concerning the nature and qualification of expenses incurred and approve
all agreements implementing the Plan. The Plan may be continued from
year-to-year only if the Board of Trustees concludes at least annually that
continuation of the Plan is likely to benefit shareholders.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

The Fund from time to time may enter into agreements with outside parties
through which shareholders hold Fund shares. The shares would be held by such
parties in omnibus accounts. The agreements would provide for payments by the
Fund to the outside party for shareholder services provided to shareholders in
the omnibus accounts.

CUSTODIAN

UMB Bank, n.a., is the custodian for the Fund's U.S. securities and cash, but it
does not participate in the Fund's investment decisions. Portfolio securities
purchased in the U.S. are maintained in the custody of the Bank. UMB Bank's main
office is at Kansas City, Missouri.

[_______________] is the custodian for the Fund's foreign assets held outside
the United States, but it does not participate in the Fund's investment
decisions. [Portfolio securities purchased outside of the U.S. are maintained in
the custody of the bank. [_______________]'s main office is at
[__________________].

CODE OF ETHICS

[Summary of Code of Ethics to come.]

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

INVESTMENT OR BROKERAGE DISCRETION

Decisions with respect to the purchase and sale of portfolio securities on
behalf of the Fund are made by the Adviser. The Adviser is also responsible for
implementing these decisions, including the negotiation of commissions and the
allocation of portfolio brokerage and principal business.

HOW BROKERS AND DEALERS ARE SELECTED

EQUITY SECURITIES

In purchasing and selling equity securities, it is the Adviser's policy to
obtain quality execution at the most favorable prices through responsible
brokers and dealers and, in the case of agency transactions, at competitive
commission rates. However, under certain conditions, the Fund may pay higher
brokerage commissions in return for brokerage and research services. As a
general practice, over-the-counter orders are executed with market-makers. In
selecting among market-makers, the Adviser generally seeks to select those it
believes to be actively and effectively trading the security being purchased or
sold. In selecting broker-dealers to execute the Fund's portfolio transactions,
consideration is given to such factors as the price of the security, the rate of
the commission, the size and difficulty of the order, the reliability,
integrity, financial condition, general execution and operational capabilities
of competing brokers and dealers, their expertise in particular markets and
brokerage and research services provided by them. It is not the policy of the
Adviser to seek the lowest available commission rate where it is believed that a
broker or dealer charging a higher commission rate would offer greater
reliability or provide better price or execution services.

FIXED INCOME SECURITIES

Fixed income securities are generally purchased from the issuer or a primary
market-maker acting as principal for the securities on a net basis, with no
brokerage commission being paid by the client although the price usually
includes an undisclosed compensation. Transactions placed through dealers
serving as primary market-makers reflect the spread between the bid and asked
prices. Securities may also be purchased from underwriters at prices which
include underwriting fees.

With respect to equity and fixed income securities, the Adviser may effect
principal transactions on behalf of the Fund with a broker or dealer who
furnishes brokerage and/or research services, designate any such broker or
dealer to receive selling concessions, discounts or other allowances, or
otherwise deal with any such broker or dealer in connection with the acquisition
of securities in underwritings. The Adviser may receive research services in
connection with brokerage transactions, including designations in a fixed price
offerings.




                                      B-21
<PAGE>   151


HOW EVALUATIONS ARE MADE OF THE OVERALL
REASONABLENESS OF BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS PAID

On a continuing basis, the Adviser seeks to determine what levels of commission
rates are reasonable in the marketplace for transactions executed on behalf of
the Fund. In evaluating the reasonableness of commission rates, the Adviser
considers: (1) historical commission rates, (2) rates which other institutional
investors are paying, based on available public information, (3) rates quoted by
brokers and dealers, (4) the size of a particular transaction, in terms of the
number of shares, dollar amount, and number of clients involved, (5) the
complexity of a particular transaction in terms of both execution and
settlement, (6) the level and type of business done with a particular firm over
a period of time, and (7) the extent to which the broker or dealer has capital
at risk in the transaction.

RESEARCH SERVICES RECEIVED FROM BROKERS AND DEALERS

The Adviser receives a wide range of research services from brokers and dealers.
These services include information on the economy, industries, groups of
securities, individual companies, statistical information, accounting and tax
law interpretations, political developments, legal developments affecting
portfolio securities, technical market action, pricing and appraisal services,
credit analysis, risk measurement analysis, performance analysis and analysis of
corporate responsibility issues. These services provide both domestic and
international perspective. Research services are received primarily in the form
of written reports, computer generated services, telephone contacts and personal
meetings with security analysts. In addition, such services may be provided in
the form of meetings arranged with corporate and industry spokespersons,
economists, and government representatives. In some cases, research services are
generated by third parties but are provided to the adviser by or through
broker-dealers.

Research services received from brokers and dealers are supplemental to the
Adviser's own research efforts and, when utilized, are subject to internal
analysis before being incorporated by the Adviser into its investment process.
As a practical matter, it would not be possible for the Adviser to generate all
of the information presently provided by brokers and dealers. The Adviser pays
cash for certain research services received from external sources. The Adviser
also allocates brokerage for research services which are available for cash.
While receipt of research services from brokerage firms has not reduced the
Adviser's normal research activities, the expenses of the Adviser could be
materially increased if it attempted to generate such additional information
through its own staff. To the extent that research services of value are
provided by brokers or dealers, the Adviser may be relieved of expenses which it
might otherwise bear.

The Adviser has a policy of not allocating brokerage business in return for
products or services other than brokerage or research services. In accordance
with the provisions of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Adviser may from time to time receive services and products which serve both
research and non-research functions. In such event, the Adviser makes a good
faith determination of the anticipated research and non-research use of the
product or service and allocates brokerage only with respect to the research
component.




                                      B-22
<PAGE>   152


COMMISSIONS TO BROKERS WHO FURNISH RESEARCH SERVICES

Certain brokers and dealers who provide quality brokerage and execution services
also furnish research services to the Adviser. With regard to the payment of
brokerage commissions, the Adviser has adopted a brokerage allocation policy
embodying the concepts of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
which permits an investment adviser to cause an account to pay commission rates
in excess of those another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting the
same transaction, if the Adviser determines in good faith that the commission
paid is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research
services provided. The determination may be viewed in terms of either the
particular transaction involved or the overall responsibilities of the Adviser
with respect to the accounts over which it exercises investment discretion.
Accordingly, while the Adviser cannot readily determine the extent to which
commission rates or net prices charged by broker-dealers reflect the value of
their research services, the Adviser would expect to assess the reasonableness
of commissions in light of the total brokerage and research services provided by
each particular broker. The Adviser may receive research, as defined in Section
28(e), in connection with selling concessions and designations in fixed price
offerings in which the Fund participates.

INTERNAL ALLOCATION PROCEDURES

The Adviser has a policy of not precommitting a specific amount of business to
any broker or dealer over any specific time period. Brokerage placement is
determined by the needs of a specific transaction such as market-making,
availability of a buyer or seller of a particular security, or specialized
execution skills. However, the Adviser does have an internal brokerage
allocation procedure for that portion of its discretionary client brokerage
business where special needs do not exist, or where the business may be
allocated among several brokers or dealers which are able to meet the needs of
the transaction.

Each year, the Adviser assesses the contribution of the brokerage and research
services provided by brokers or dealers, and attempts to allocate a portion of
its brokerage business in response to these assessments. The investment team
seeks to evaluate the brokerage and research services they receive from brokers
or dealers and make judgments as to the level of business which would recognize
such services. In addition, brokers or dealers sometimes suggest a level of
business they would like to receive in return for the various brokerage and
research services they provide. Actual brokerage received by any firm may be
less than the suggested allocations but can, and often does, exceed the
suggestions, because the total business is allocated on the basis of all the
considerations described above. In no case is a broker or dealer excluded from
receiving business from the Adviser because it has not been identified as
providing research services.

MISCELLANEOUS

The Adviser's brokerage allocation policy is consistently applied to all its
fully discretionary accounts, which represent a substantial majority of all
assets under management. Research services furnished by brokers or dealers
through which the Adviser effects securities transactions may be used in
servicing all accounts (including non-Fund accounts) managed by the Adviser.
Conversely, research services received from brokers or dealers which execute
transactions for the




                                      B-23
<PAGE>   153


Fund are not necessarily used by the Adviser exclusively in connection with the
management of the Fund. From time to time, orders for clients may be placed
through a computerized transaction network.

The Fund does not allocate business to any broker-dealer on the basis of sales
of the Fund's shares. However, this does not mean that broker-dealers who
purchase Fund shares for their clients will not receive business from the Fund.

Some of the Adviser's other clients have investment objectives and programs
similar to those of the Fund. The Adviser may occasionally make recommendations
to other clients which result in their purchasing or selling securities
simultaneously with the Fund. As a result, the demand for securities being
purchased or the supply of securities being sold may increase, and this could
have an adverse effect on the price of those securities. It is the Adviser's
policy not to favor one client over another in making recommendations or in
placing orders. The Adviser frequently follows the practice of grouping orders
of various clients for execution which generally results in lower commission
rates being attained. In certain cases, where the aggregate order is executed in
a series of transactions at various prices on a given day, each participating
client's proportionate share of such order reflects the average price paid or
received with respect to the total order.

At the present time, the Adviser does not recapture commissions or underwriting
discounts or selling group concessions in connection with taxable securities
acquired in underwritten offerings.

TRADE ALLOCATION POLICIES

The Adviser has developed written trade allocation guidelines for its accounts.
Generally, when the amount of securities available in a public offering or the
secondary market is insufficient to satisfy the volume or price requirements for
the participating client portfolios, the guidelines require a pro-rata
allocation based upon the amounts initially requested by each portfolio manager.
In allocating trades made on combined basis, the Adviser seeks to achieve the
same net unit price of the securities for each participating client. Because a
pro-rata allocation may not always adequately accommodate all facts and
circumstances, the guidelines provide for exceptions to allocate trades on an
adjusted, pro-rata basis. Examples of where adjustments may be made include: (1)
reallocations to recognize the efforts of a portfolio manager in negotiating a
transaction or a private placement, (2) reallocations to eliminate de minimis
positions, (3) priority for accounts with specialized investment policies and
objectives and (4) reallocations in light of a participating portfolio's
characteristics (e.g., industry or issuer concentration, duration, and credit
exposure).

PRICING OF SECURITIES

Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities exchange are valued
at the last quoted sales price at the time the valuations are made. A security
that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on
the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. Listed
securities not traded on a particular day and securities regularly traded in the
over-the-counter market are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked
prices. Other equity




                                      B-24
<PAGE>   154


securities are valued at a price within the limits of the latest bid and asked
prices deemed by the Board of Trustees, or by persons delegated by the Board,
best to reflect fair value.

Debt securities are generally traded in the over-the-counter market and are
valued at a price deemed best to reflect fair value as quoted by dealers who
make markets in these securities or by an independent pricing service.
Short-term debt securities are valued at their amortized cost in local currency
which, when combined with accrued interest, approximates fair value. Investments
in mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of the
mutual fund on the day of valuation. In the absence of a last sale price,
purchased and written options are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked
prices, respectively.

For the purposes of determining the Fund's net asset value per share, the U.S.
dollar value of all assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign
currencies is determined by using the mean of the bid and offer prices of such
currencies against U.S. dollars quoted by a major bank. Assets and liabilities
for which the above valuation procedures are inappropriate or are deemed not to
reflect fair value, are stated at fair value as determined in good faith by or
under the supervision of the officers of the Trust, as authorized by the Board
of Trustees.

NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE

The Fund's net asset value per share is determined by subtracting its
liabilities (including accrued expenses and dividends payable) from its total
assets (the market value of the securities the Fund holds plus cash and other
assets, including income accrued but not yet received) and dividing the result
by the total number of shares outstanding. The net asset value per share of the
Fund is normally calculated as of the close of trading (generally 3 p.m. Central
time) on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") every day the NYSE is open for
trading. The NYSE is closed on the following days: New Year's Day, Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. Holiday, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

Determination of net asset value (and the offering, redemption and repurchase of
shares) for the Fund may be suspended at times (1) during which the NYSE is
closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (2) during which
trading on the NYSE is restricted, (3) during which an emergency exists as a
result of which disposal by the Fund of securities owned by it is not reasonably
practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund fairly to determine
the value of its net assets, or (4) during which a governmental body having
jurisdiction over the Fund may by order permit such a suspension for the
protection of the Fund's shareholders; provided that applicable rules and
regulations of the SEC shall govern as to whether the conditions prescribed in
(2), (3), or (4) exist.

TAX STATUS

The Fund intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Qualification
as a regulated investment company essentially allows the Fund (but not its
shareholders) to avoid paying federal income tax on ordinary income and capital
gains which are distributed to shareholders. In addition, it permits net capital
gains (the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term




                                      B-25
<PAGE>   155


capital losses) of the Fund to be treated as long-term capital gains of the
Fund's shareholders, regardless of how long the shareholders have held their
shares.

If the Fund fails to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company
under the Code, that Fund will not be afforded this special treatment. Rather,
the Fund will be subject to federal income tax on its net income and capital
gains at the applicable corporate income tax rate, regardless of whether
distributions are made to shareholders. In addition, any dividend distributions
to the shareholders will constitute ordinary income which will be subject to
federal income tax at the shareholder level.

As a regulated investment company, the Fund will be required to distribute 98%
of its ordinary income in the same calendar year in which such income is earned.
During the calendar year, the Fund is also required to distribute 98% of the
capital gain net income they earned during the twelve-month period ending on
October 31 of such calendar year. In addition, during the calendar year, the
Fund must distribute all undistributed ordinary income from the prior year and
all undistributed capital gain net income from the twelve-month period ending on
October 31 of the prior calendar year. To the extent they do not meet these
distribution requirements, the Fund will be subject to a non-deductible 4%
excise tax on the undistributed amount. For purposes of this excise tax, income
on which the Fund pays income tax is treated as distributed.

At the time of an investor's purchase, the Fund's net asset values may reflect
undistributed income, capital gains, and/or net unrealized appreciation of
securities held by the Fund. A subsequent distribution to an investor of such
amounts, although constituting a return of his or her investment, would be
taxable as a dividend or capital gain distribution. For federal income tax
purposes, dividends and capital gain distributions paid to shareholders in
additional shares are treated the same as if such payments were made in cash. A
portion of the dividends paid by the Fund to corporate shareholders may be
eligible for the 70% dividends-received deduction.

Gains or losses on sales of securities by the Fund will be treated as long-term
capital gains or losses if the securities have been held by it for more than one
year, except in certain cases where the Fund acquires a put or writes a call
thereon or otherwise holds an offsetting position with respect to the
securities. Other gains or losses on the sale of securities will be short-term
capital gains or losses. Gains and losses on the sale, lapse or other
termination of options on securities will be treated as gains and losses from
the sale of securities. If an option written by the Fund on securities lapses or
is terminated through a closing transaction, such as a repurchase by the Fund of
the option from its holder, the Fund will generally realize short-term capital
gain or loss. If securities are sold by the Fund pursuant to the exercise of a
call option written by it, the Fund will include the premium received in the
sale proceeds of the securities delivered in determining the amount of gain or
loss on the sale. Certain of the Fund's transactions may be subject to wash
sale, short sale, constructive sale, anti-conversion and straddle provisions of
the Code which may, among other things, require the Fund to defer recognition of
losses. In addition, debt securities acquired by the Fund may be subject to
original issue discount and market discount rules which, respectively, may cause
the Fund to accrue income in advance of the receipt of cash with respect to
interest or cause gains to be treated as ordinary income.




                                      B-26
<PAGE>   156


Special rules apply to most options on stock indices, future contracts and
options thereon, and foreign currency forward contracts in which the Fund may
invest. These investments will generally constitute Section 1256 contracts under
the Code, and will be required to be "marked to market" for federal income tax
purposes at the end of the Fund's taxable year; that is, treated as having been
sold at market value. Except with respect to certain foreign currency forward
contracts, sixty percent of any gain or loss recognized on such deemed sales and
on actual dispositions will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss, and
the remainder will be treated as short-term capital gain or loss.

For federal income tax purposes, the Fund is permitted to carry forward their
net realized capital losses, if any, for eight years and thus may realize net
capital gains up to the amount of such losses without being required to pay
taxes on, or distribute, such gains. However, the Fund currently does not have
any net realized capital losses, and thus will not be able to offset any net
realized capital gains.

Dividends and capital gain distributions may also be subject to state and/or
local taxes.

FOREIGN CURRENCY GAINS AND LOSSES

Gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates which occur
between the time the Fund accrues interest or other receivables or accrues
expenses or other liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and the time the
Fund actually collects such receivables or pays such liabilities are treated as
ordinary income or ordinary loss. Similarly, gains or losses on foreign currency
forward contracts or dispositions of debt securities denominated in a foreign
currency attributable to fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency
between the date of acquisition of the security and the date of disposition also
are treated as ordinary gain or loss. These gains or losses, referred to under
the Code as "Section 988" gains or losses, increase or decrease the amount of
the Fund's investment company taxable income available to be distributed to its
shareholders as ordinary income, rather than increasing or decreasing the amount
of the Fund's net capital gain. If Section 988 losses exceed other investment
company taxable income during a taxable year, (1) the Fund would not be able to
make any ordinary dividend distributions, or (2) distributions made before the
losses were realized would be recharacterized as a return of capital to
shareholders (as opposed to being treated as an ordinary dividend) thereby
reducing each shareholder's basis in his or her Fund shares.

Investors should consult their own tax advisers with respect to the particular
tax consequences to them of an investment in the Fund.

PASSIVE FOREIGN INVESTMENT COMPANIES

The Fund may purchase the securities of certain foreign investment funds or
trusts called passive foreign investment companies ("PFICs"). In addition to
bearing their proportionate share of the Fund's expenses (management fees and
operating expenses), the Fund's shareholders will also indirectly bear similar
expenses of any PFICs in which the Fund invests. Capital gains on the sale of
such holdings are considered ordinary income regardless of how long the Fund
holds the investment. In addition, the Fund may be subject to corporate income
tax and an interest charge




                                      B-27
<PAGE>   157


on certain dividends and capital gains earned from these investments, regardless
of whether such income and gains are distributed to the Fund's shareholders.

To avoid such tax and interest, the Fund intends to treat these securities as
sold on the last day of its fiscal year and recognize any gains for federal
income tax purposes at that time. Deductions for losses are allowable only to
the extent of any gains resulting from these deemed sales for prior taxable
years. Such gains and losses will be treated as ordinary income. The Fund will
be required to distribute any resulting income even though it has not actually
sold the security and received cash to pay such distributions.

Income received by the Fund from sources within foreign countries may be subject
to withholding and other taxes imposed by such countries. Income tax treaties
between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such
taxes. However, it is impossible to determine in advance the effective rate of
foreign tax to which the Fund will be subject, since the amount of the Fund's
assets to be invested in various countries will vary.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

TOTAL RETURN PERFORMANCE

The Fund's calculation of total return performance includes the reinvestment of
all capital gain distributions and income dividends for the period or periods
indicated, without regard to tax consequences to a shareholder in the Fund.
Total return is calculated as the percentage change between the beginning value
of a static account in the Fund and the ending value of that account measured by
the then current net asset value, including all shares acquired through
reinvestment of income and capital gain dividends.

OUTSIDE SOURCES OF INFORMATION

From time to time, in reports and promotional literature: (1) the Fund's total
return performance, ranking, or any other measure of the Fund's performance may
be compared to any one or combination of the following: (a) a broad-based index;
(b) other groups of mutual funds, tracked by independent research firms ranking
entities, or financial publications; (c) indices of securities comparable to
those in which the Fund invests; (2) the Consumer Price Index (or any other
measure for inflation, government statistics, such as GNP may be used to
illustrate investment attributes of the Fund or the general economic, business,
investment, or financial environment in which the Fund operates; (3) various
financial, economic and market statistics developed by brokers, dealers and
other persons may be used to illustrate aspects of the Fund's performance; (4)
the effect of tax-deferred compounding on the Fund's investment returns, or on
returns in general in both qualified and nonqualified retirement plans or any
other tax advantage product, may be illustrated by graphs, charts, etc.; and (5)
the sectors or industries in which the Fund invests may be compared to relevant
indices or surveys in order to evaluate the Fund's historical performance or
current or potential value with respect to the particular industry or sector.

OTHER PUBLICATIONS

From time to time, in newsletters and other publications issued by e-harmon.com,
Inc. our mutual fund portfolio managers or analysts may discuss economic,
financial and political developments in the U.S. and abroad and how these
conditions have affected or may affect securities prices or the Fund; individual
securities within the Fund's portfolio; and their philosophy regarding the
selection of individual stocks, including why specific stocks have been added,
removed or excluded from the Fund's portfolio.

SHARES

The Trust was organized as an unincorporated business trust in 1999 under the
laws of Delaware. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares
of beneficial interest, $.01 par value per share, divided into two series (the
Funds).

e-harmon Internet Fund is divided into three classes, designated Class A, Class
B and Class C shares. Each class of shares represents an interest in the same
assets of the Fund and is identical in all respects except that (1) each class
is subject to different sales charges and distribution and/or service fees which
will affect performance, (2) each class has exclusive voting rights on any
matter submitted to shareholders that relates solely to its arrangement and has
separate voting rights on any matter submitted to shareholders in which the
interests of one class differ from the interests of any other class, (3) and
only Class B shares have a conversion feature.

In accordance with the Trust's Declaration of Trust, the Trustees may authorize
the creation of additional series and classes within such series, with such
preferences, privileges, limitations and voting and dividend rights as the
Trustees may determine. The voting rights of the shareholders of a series or
class can be modified only by the vote of shareholders of that series or class.
Shares of the Trust, when issued, are fully paid, nonassessable, fully
transferable and redeemable at the option of the holder. Shares are also
redeemable at the option of the Trust under certain circumstances. Each share of
each class is equal as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except as
noted above, and each class of shares bears the expenses related to the
distribution of its shares. Except for the conversion feature applicable to the
Class B shares, there are no conversion, preemptive or other subscription
rights. In the event of liquidation, each share of the Fund is entitled to its
portion of all of the Fund's assets after all debt and expenses of the Fund have
been paid. Since Class B and Class C shares have higher distribution expenses
than Class A shares, the liquidation proceeds to shareholders of those classes
are likely to be lower than to Class A shareholders.

The Trust does not intend to hold annual meetings of shareholders unless
otherwise required by law. The Trust will not be required to hold meetings of
shareholders unless, for example, the election of Trustees is required to be
acted on by shareholders under the 1940 Act. Shareholders have certain rights,
including the right to call a meeting upon the vote of 10% of the Trust's
outstanding shares for the purpose of voting on the removal of one or more
Trustees or to transact any other business. Under the Declaration of Trust, the
Trustees may authorize the creation of additional series of shares (the proceeds
of which would be invested in separate, independently managed portfolios with
distinct investment objectives and policies and share




                                      B-29
<PAGE>   159


purchase, redemption and net asset value procedures) with such preferences,
privileges, limitations and voting and dividend rights as the Trustees may
determine. All consideration received by the Trust for shares of any additional
series, and all assets in which such consideration is invested, would belong to
that series (subject only to the rights of creditors of that series) and would
be subject to the liabilities related thereto. Under the 1940 Act, shareholders
of any additional series of shares would normally have to approve the adoption
of any advisory contract relating to such series and of certain changes in the
investment policies related thereto. The Trustees have the power to alter the
number and the terms of office of the Trustees, provided that always at least a
majority of the Trustees have been elected by the shareholders of the Trust. The
voting rights of shareholders are not cumulative, so that holders of more than
50 percent of the shares voting can, if they choose, elect all Trustees being
selected, while the holders of the remaining shares would be unable to elect any
Trustees.

HISTORY OF THE TRUST

The Trust was organized as an unincorporated business trust in December 1999
under the laws of the State of Delaware.

CLASSIFICATION

The Trust is an open-end management investment company.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND STRATEGIES

The Prospectus describes the fundamental investment objectives and certain
investment policies and restrictions applicable to the Fund. The following is
additional information for your consideration.

EQUITY SECURITIES

WARRANTS. The Fund may invest in warrants. A warrant is a security that gives
the holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase a given number of
shares of a particular company at a fixed price within a certain period of time.
Warrants generally trade in the open market and may be sold rather than
exercised. The purchaser of a warrant expects the market price of the security
underlying the warrant to exceed the purchase price of the warrant plus the
exercise price of the warrant, thus yielding a profit. Of course, it is possible
that the market price of the security underlying a warrant won't exceed the
exercise price of the warrant before the expiration date of the warrant.
Consequently, the purchaser of a warrant risks the loss of the entire purchase
price of the warrant. Additionally, price movements in the security underlying a
warrant are generally magnified in the price movements of the warrant.
Therefore, the price of a warrant tends to be more volatile than, and may not
correlate exactly to, the price of its underlying security.

FUTURES, OPTIONS AND OTHER DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

FUTURES CONTRACTS. The Fund may enter into contracts for the purchase or sale
for future delivery of equity securities, financial indices and foreign
currencies. U.S. futures contracts are traded on exchanges which have been
designated "contract markets" by the CFTC and must be executed through a futures
commission merchant ("FCM"), or brokerage firm, which is a member of the
relevant contract market. Through their clearing corporations, the exchanges
guarantee performance of the contracts as between the clearing members of the
exchange.

The buyer or seller of a futures contract is not required to deliver or pay for
the underlying instrument unless the contract is held until the delivery date.
However, both the buyer and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" for
the benefit of the FCM when the contract is entered into. Initial margin
deposits are equal to a percentage of the contract's value, as set by the
exchange on which the contract is traded, and may be maintained in cash or
certain other liquid assets by the Fund's custodian for the benefit of the FCM.
Initial margin payments are similar to good faith deposits or performance bonds.
Unlike margin extended by a securities broker, initial margin payments do not
constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of the Fund's



                                      B-2
<PAGE>   164




investment limitations. If the value of either party's position declines, that
party will be required to make additional "variation margin" payments for the
benefit of the FCM to settle the change in value on a daily basis. The party
that has a gain may be entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount. In
the event of the bankruptcy of the FCM that holds margin on behalf of the Fund,
the Fund may be entitled to a return of margin owed to the Fund only in
proportion to the amount received by the FCM's other customers. The Adviser will
attempt to minimize the risk by careful monitoring of the creditworthiness of
the FCMs with which the Fund does business and by depositing margin payments in
a segregated account with the Fund's custodian.

The Fund intends to comply with guidelines of eligibility for exclusion from the
definition of the term "commodity pool operator" adopted by the CFTC and the
National Futures Association, which regulate trading in the futures markets. The
Fund will use futures contracts and related options primarily for bona fide
hedging purposes within the meaning of CFTC regulations. To the extent that the
Fund holds positions in futures contracts and related options that do not fall
within the definition of bona fide hedging transactions, the aggregate initial
margin and premiums required to establish such positions will not exceed 5% of
the fair market value of the Fund's net assets, after taking into account
unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such contracts it has entered
into.

The Fund's primary purpose in entering into futures contracts is to protect the
Fund from fluctuations in the value of securities or interest rates without
actually buying or selling the underlying security. For example, if the Fund
anticipates an increase in the price of stocks, and it intends to purchase
stocks at a later time, the Fund could enter into a futures contract to purchase
a stock index as a temporary substitute for stock purchases. If an increase in
the market occurs that influences the stock index as anticipated, the value of
the futures contracts will increase, thereby serving as a hedge against the Fund
not participating in a market advance. This technique is sometimes known as an
anticipatory hedge. To the extent the Fund enters into futures contracts for
this purpose, the segregated assets maintained to cover the Fund's obligations
with respect to the futures contracts will consist of other liquid assets from
its portfolio in an amount equal to the difference between the contract price
and the aggregate value of the initial and variation margin payments made by the
Fund with respect to the futures contracts. Conversely, if the Fund holds stocks
and seeks to protect itself from a decrease in stock prices, the Fund might sell
stock index futures contracts, thereby hoping to offset the potential decline in
the value of its portfolio securities by a corresponding increase in the value
of the futures contract position. The Fund could protect against a decline in
stock prices by selling portfolio securities and investing in money market
instruments, but the use of futures contracts enables it to maintain a defensive
position without having to sell portfolio securities.

The ordinary spreads between prices in the cash and futures markets, due to
differences in the nature of those markets, are subject to distortions. First,
all participants in the futures market are subject to initial margin and
variation margin requirements. Rather than meeting additional variation margin
requirements, investors may close out futures contracts through offsetting
transactions which could distort the normal price relationship between the cash
and futures markets. Second, the liquidity of the futures market depends on
participants entering into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking
delivery of the instrument underlying


                                      B-3
<PAGE>   165



a futures contract. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery,
liquidity in the futures market could be reduced and prices in the futures
market distorted. Third, from the point of view of speculators, the margin
deposit requirements in the futures market are less onerous than margin
requirements in the securities market. Therefore, increased participation by
speculators in the futures market may cause temporary price distortions. Due to
the possibility of the foregoing distortions, a correct forecast of general
price trends by the portfolio manager still may not result in a successful use
of futures.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING FUTURES CONTRACTS. Although the Adviser believes
that use of such contracts will benefit the Fund, the Fund's overall performance
could be worse than if the Fund had not entered into futures contracts if the
portfolio manager's investment judgement proves incorrect. For example, if the
Fund has hedged against the effects of a possible decrease in prices of
securities held in its portfolio and prices increase instead, the Fund will lose
part or all of the benefit of the increased value of these securities because of
offsetting losses in its futures positions. In addition, if the Fund has
insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities from its portfolio to meet
daily variation margin requirements. Those sales may be, but will not
necessarily be, at increased prices which reflect the rising market and may
occur at a time when the sales are disadvantageous to the Fund.

Although the Fund will segregate cash and liquid assets in an amount sufficient
to cover its open futures obligations, the segregated assets would be available
to the Fund immediately upon closing out the futures position, while settlement
of securities transactions could take several days. However, because the Fund's
cash that may otherwise be invested would be held uninvested or invested in
other liquid assets so long as the futures position remains open, the Fund's
return could be diminished due to the opportunity losses of foregoing other
potential investments.

The prices of futures contracts depend primarily on the value of their
underlying instruments. Because there are a limited number of types of futures
contracts, it is possible that the standardized futures contracts available to
the Fund will not match exactly the Fund's current or potential investments. The
Fund may buy and sell futures contracts based on underlying instruments with
different characteristics from the securities in which it typically invests -
for example, by hedging investments in portfolio securities with a futures
contract based on a broad index of securities - which involves a risk that the
futures position will not correlate precisely with the performance of the Fund's
investments.

Futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments,
even if the underlying instruments closely correlate with the Fund's
investments. Futures prices are affected by factors such as current and
anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility of the underlying
instruments and the time remaining until expiration of the contract. Those
factors may affect securities prices differently from futures prices. Imperfect
correlations between the Fund's investments and its futures positions also may
result from differing levels of demand in the futures markets and the securities
markets, from structural differences in how futures and securities are traded,
and from imposition of daily price fluctuation limits for futures contracts. The
Fund may buy or sell futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the
securities it



                                      B-4
<PAGE>   166



wishes to hedge or is considering purchasing in order to attempt to compensate
for differences in historical volatility between the futures contract and the
securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If price changes
in the Fund's futures positions are poorly correlated with its other
investments, its futures positions may fail to produce desired gains or result
in losses that are not offset by the gains in the Fund's other investments.

Because futures contracts are generally settled within a day from the date they
are closed out, compared with a settlement period of three days for some types
of securities, the futures markets can provide superior liquidity to the
securities markets. Nevertheless, there is no assurance that a liquid secondary
market will exist for any particular futures contract at any particular time. In
addition, futures exchanges may establish daily price fluctuation limits for
futures contracts and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or
downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days when the
price fluctuation limit is reached, it may be impossible for the Fund to enter
into new positions or close out existing positions. If the secondary market for
a futures contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation limits or
otherwise, the Fund may not be able to promptly liquidate unfavorable futures
positions and potentially could be required to continue to hold a futures
position until the delivery date, regardless of changes in its value. As a
result, the Fund's access to other assets held to cover its futures positions
also could be impaired.

OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS. The Fund may buy and write put and call options on
futures contracts. An option on a future gives the Fund the right (but not the
obligation) to buy or sell a futures contract at a specified price on or before
a specified date. The purchase of a call option on a futures contract is similar
in some respects to the purchase of a call option on an individual security.
Depending on the pricing of the option compared to either the price of the
futures contract upon which it is based or the price of the underlying
instrument, ownership of the option may or may not be less risky than ownership
of the futures contract or the underlying instrument. As with the purchase of
futures contracts, when the Fund is not fully invested it may buy a call option
on a futures contract to hedge against a market advance.

The writing of a call option on a futures contract constitutes a partial hedge
against declining prices of the security or foreign currency which is
deliverable under, or of the index comprising, the futures contract. If the
future's price at the expiration of the option is below the exercise price, the
Fund will retain the full amount of the option premium which provides a partial
hedge against any decline that may have occurred in the Fund's portfolio
holdings. The writing of a put option on a futures contract constitutes a
partial hedge against increasing prices of the security or foreign currency
which is deliverable under, or of the index comprising, the futures contract. If
the futures' price at expiration of the option is higher than the exercise
price, the Fund will retain the full amount of the option premium which provides
a partial hedge against any increase in the price of securities which the Fund
is considering buying.

The purchase of a put option on a futures contract is similar in some respects
to the purchase of protective put options on portfolio securities. For example,
the Fund may buy a put option on a futures contract to hedge its portfolio
against the risk of falling prices or rising interest rates.


                                      B-5
<PAGE>   167



RISK CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING OPTIONS ON FUTURES. If a call or put option the
Fund has written is exercised, the Fund will incur a loss which will be reduced
by the amount of the premium it received. Depending on the degree of correlation
between the change in the value of its portfolio securities and changes in the
value of the futures positions, the Fund's losses from existing options on
futures may to some extent be reduced or increased by changes in the value of
portfolio securities.

The amount of risk the Fund assumes when it buys an option on a futures contract
is the premium paid for the option plus related transaction costs. In addition
to the correlation risks discussed above, the purchase of an option also entails
the risk that changes in the value of the underlying futures contract will not
be fully reflected in the value of the options bought.

FOREIGN CURRENCY FORWARD CONTRACTS. A forward contract is an agreement between
two parties in which one party is obligated to deliver a stated amount of a
stated asset at a specified time in the future and the other party is obligated
to pay a specified amount for the assets at the time of delivery. The Fund may
enter into forward contracts to purchase and sell equity securities, foreign
currencies or other financial instruments. Forward contracts generally are
traded in an interbank market conducted directly between traders (usually large
commercial banks) and their customers. Unlike futures contracts, which are
standardized contracts, forward contracts can be specifically drawn to meet the
needs of the parties that enter into them. The parties to a forward contract may
agree to offset or terminate the contract before its maturity, or may hold the
contract to maturity and complete the contemplated exchange. The following
discussion summarizes the Fund's principal uses of foreign currency forward
exchange contracts ("forward currency contracts").

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts with stated contract values
of up to the value of the Fund's assets. A forward currency contract is an
obligation to buy or sell an amount of a specified currency for an agreed price
(which may be in U.S. dollars or a foreign currency). The Fund will exchange
foreign currencies for U.S. dollars and for other foreign currencies in the
normal course of business and may buy and sell currencies through forward
currency contracts in order to fix a price for securities it has agreed to buy
or sell ("transaction hedge"). The Fund also may hedge some or all of its
investments denominated in a foreign currency or exposed to foreign currency
fluctuations against a decline in the value of that currency relative to the
U.S. dollar by entering into forward currency contracts to sell an amount of
that currency (or a proxy currency whose performance is expected to replicate or
exceed the performance of that currency relative to the U.S. dollar)
approximating the value of some or all of its portfolio securities denominated
in that currency ("position hedge") or by participating in options or futures
contracts with respect to the currency. The Fund also may enter into a forward
currency contract with respect to a currency where the Fund is considering the
purchase or sale of investments denominated in that currency but has not yet
selected the specific investments ("anticipatory hedge"). In any of these
circumstances the Fund may, alternatively, enter into a forward currency
contract to purchase or sell one foreign currency for a second currency that is
expected to perform more favorably relative to the U.S. dollar if the portfolio
manager believes there is a reasonable degree of correlation between movements
in the two currencies ("cross-hedge").


                                      B-6
<PAGE>   168



These types of hedging minimize the effect of currency appreciation as well as
depreciation, but do not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying U.S. dollar
equivalent value of the proceeds of or rates of return on the Fund's foreign
currency denominated portfolio securities. The matching of the increase in value
of a forward contract and the decline in the U.S. dollar equivalent value of the
foreign currency denominated asset that is the subject of the hedge generally
will not be precise.

The Fund will cover outstanding forward currency contracts by maintaining liquid
portfolio securities denominated in or whose value its tied to, the currency
underlying the forward contract or the currency being hedged. To the extent that
the Fund is not able to cover its forward currency positions with underlying
portfolio securities, the Fund's custodian will segregate cash or other liquid
assets having a value equal to the aggregate amount of the Fund's commitments
under forward contracts entered into with respect to position hedges,
cross-hedges and anticipatory hedges. If the value of the securities used to
cover a position or the value of segregated assets declines, the Fund will find
alternative cover or segregate additional cash or liquid assets on a daily basis
so that the value of the covered and segregated assets will be equal to the
amount of the Fund's commitments with respect to such contracts. As an
alternative to segregating assets, the Fund may buy call options permitting the
Fund to buy the amount of foreign currency being hedged by a forward sale
contract or the Fund may buy put options permitting it to sell the amount of
foreign currency subject to a forward buy contract.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS. Shifting the Fund's
currency exposure from one foreign currency to another removes the Fund's
opportunity to profit from increases in the value of the original currency and
involves a risk of increased losses to the Fund if its portfolio manager's
projection of future exchange rates is inaccurate. Proxy hedges and cross-hedges
may result in losses if the currency used to hedge does not perform similarly to
the currency in which hedged securities are denominated. Unforeseen changes in
currency prices may result in poorer overall performance for the Fund than if it
had not entered into such contracts.

While forward contracts are not currently regulated by the CFTC, the CFTC may in
the future assert authority to regulate forward contacts. In such event, the
Fund's ability to utilize forward contracts may be restricted. In addition, the
Fund may not always be able to enter into forward contracts at attractive prices
and may be limited in its ability to use these contracts to hedge Fund assets.

OPTIONS ON SECURITIES. In an effort to increase current income and to reduce
fluctuations in net asset value, the Fund may write covered put and call options
and buy put and call options on securities that are traded on United States and
foreign securities exchanges and over-the-counter. The Fund may write and buy
options on the same types of securities that the Fund may purchase directly.

A put option written by the Fund is "covered" if the Fund (i) segregates cash
not available for investment or other liquid assets with a value equal to the
exercise price of the put with the


                                      B-7
<PAGE>   169



Fund's custodian or (ii) holds a put on the same security and in the same
principal amount as the put written and the exercise price of the put held is
equal to or greater than the exercise price of the put written. The premium paid
by the buyer of an option will reflect, among other things, the relationship of
the exercise price to the market price and the volatility of the underlying
security, the remaining term of the option, supply and demand and interest
rates.

A call option written by the Fund is "covered" if the Fund owns the underlying
security covered by the call or has an absolute and immediate right to acquire
that security without additional cash consideration (or for additional cash
consideration held in a segregated account by the Fund's custodian) upon
conversion or exchange of other securities held in its portfolio. A call option
is also deemed to be covered if the Fund holds a call on the same security and
in the same principal amount as the call written and the exercise price of the
call held (i) is equal to or less than the exercise price of the call written or
(ii) is greater than the exercise price of the call written if the difference is
maintained by the Fund in cash and other liquid assets in a segregated account
with its custodian.

The Fund also may write call options that are not covered for cross-hedging
purposes. The Fund collateralizes its obligation under a written call option for
cross-hedging purposes by segregating cash or other liquid assets in an amount
not less than the market value of the underlying security, marked-to-market
daily. The Fund would write a call option for cross-hedging purposes, instead of
writing a covered call option, when the premium to be received from the
cross-hedge transaction would exceed that which would be received from writing a
covered call option and its portfolio manager believes that writing the option
would achieve the desired hedge.

The writer of an option that wishes to terminate its obligation may effect a
"closing purchase transaction." This is accomplished by buying an option of the
same series as the option previously written. The effect of the purchase is that
the writer's position will be canceled by the clearing corporation. However, a
writer may not effect a closing purchase transaction after being notified of the
exercise of an option. Likewise, an investor who is the holder of an option may
liquidate its position by effecting a "closing sale transaction." This is
accomplished by selling an option of the same series as the option previously
bought.

In the case of a written call option, effecting a closing transaction will
permit the Fund to write another call option on the underlying security with
either a different exercise price or expiration date or both. In the case of a
written put option, such transaction will permit the Fund to write another put
option to the extent that the exercise price is secured by other liquid assets.
Effecting a closing transaction also will permit the Fund to use the cash or
proceeds from the concurrent sale of any securities subject to the option for
other investments. If the Fund desires to sell a particular security from its
portfolio on which it has written a call option, the Fund will effect a closing
transaction prior to or concurrent with the sale of the security.

The Fund will realize a profit from a closing transaction if the price of the
purchase transaction is less than the premium received from writing the option
or the price received from a sale transaction is more than the premium paid to
buy the option. The Fund will realize a loss from a closing transaction if the
price of the purchase transaction is more than the premium received


                                      B-8
<PAGE>   170



from writing the option or the price received from a sale transaction is less
than the premium paid to buy the option. Because increases in the market of a
call option generally will reflect increases in the market price of the
underlying security, any loss resulting from the repurchase of a call option is
likely to be offset in whole or in part by appreciation of the underlying
security owned by the Fund.

The Fund may write options in connection with buy-and-write transactions. In
other words, the Fund may buy a security and then write a call option against
that security. The exercise price of such call will depend upon the expected
price movement of the underlying security. The exercise price of a call option
may be below ("in-the-money"), equal to ("at-the-money") or above
("out-of-the-money") the current value of the underlying security at the time
the option is written. Buy-and-write transactions using in-the-money call
options may be used when it is expected that the price of the underlying
security will remain flat or decline moderately during the option period.
Buy-and-write transactions using at-the-money call options may be used when it
is expected that the price of the underlying security will remain fixed or
advance moderately during the option period. Buy-and-write transactions using
out-of-the-money call options may be used when it is expected that the premiums
received from writing the call option plus the appreciation in the market price
of the underlying security up to the exercise price will be greater than the
appreciation in the price of the underlying security alone. If the call options
are exercised in such transactions, the Fund's maximum gain will be the premium
received by it for writing the option, adjusted upwards or downwards by the
difference between the Fund's purchase price of the security and the exercise
price. If the options are not exercised and the price of the underlying security
declines, the amount of such decline will be offset by the amount of premium
received.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING OPTIONS. The writer of an option may have no
control over when the underlying securities must be sold, in the case of a call
option, or bought, in the case of a put option, since with regard to certain
options, the writer may be assigned an exercise notice at any time prior to the
termination of the obligation. Whether or not an option expires unexercised, the
writer retains the amount of the premium. This amount, of course, may, in the
case of a covered call option, be offset by a decline in the market value of the
underlying security during the option period. If a call option is exercised, the
writer experiences a profit or loss from the sale of the underlying security. If
a put option is exercised, the writer must fulfill the obligation to buy the
underlying security at the exercise price, which will usually exceed the then
market value of the underlying security.

There is no guarantee that either a closing purchase or a closing sale
transaction can be effected. An option position may be closed out only where a
secondary market for an option of the same series exists. If a secondary market
does not exist, the Fund may not be able to effect closing transactions in
particular options and the Fund would have to exercise the options in order to
realize any profit. If the Fund is unable to effect a closing purchase
transaction in a secondary market, it will not be able to sell the underlying
security until the option expires or it delivers the underlying security upon
exercise. The absence of a liquid secondary market may be due to the following:
(i) insufficient trading interest in certain options, (ii) restrictions imposed
by a national securities exchange ("Exchange") on which the option is traded on
opening or closing


                                      B-9
<PAGE>   171



transactions or both, (iii) trading halts, suspensions or other restrictions
imposed with respect to particular classes or series of options or underlying
securities, (iv) unusual or unforeseen circumstances that interrupt normal
operations on an Exchange, (v) the facilities of an Exchange or of the Options
Clearing Corporation ("OCC") may not at all times be adequate to handle current
trading volume, or (vi) one or more Exchanges could, for economic or other
reasons, decide or be compelled at some future date to discontinue the trading
of options (or a particular class or series of options), in which event the
secondary market on that Exchange (or in that class or series of options) would
cease to exist, although outstanding options on that Exchange that had been
issued by the OCC as a result of trades on that Exchange would continue to be
exercisable in accordance with their terms.

The writing of covered put options is similar in terms of risk and return
characteristics to buy-and-write transactions. If the market price of the
underlying security rises or otherwise is above the exercise price, the put
option will expire worthless and the Fund's gain will be limited to the premium
received. If the market price of the underlying security declines or otherwise
is below the exercise price, the Fund may elect to close the position or take
delivery of the security at the exercise price and the Fund's return will be the
premium received from the put options minus the amount by which the market price
of the security is below the exercise price.

The Fund may buy put options to hedge against a decline in the value of its
portfolio. By using put options in this way, the Fund will reduce any profit it
might otherwise have realized in the underlying security by the amount of the
premium paid for the put option and by transaction costs.

The Fund may buy call options to hedge against an increase in the price of
securities that it may buy in the future. The premium paid for the call option
plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by the Fund
upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security
rises sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Fund.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING OPTIONS ON SECURITIES INDICES. The risks of
investment in index options may be greater than options on securities. Because
index options are settled in cash, when the Fund writes a call option on an
index it cannot provide in advance for its potential settlement obligations by
acquiring and holding the underlying securities. The Fund can offset some of the
risk of writing a call index option position by holding a diversified portfolio
of securities similar to those on which the underlying index is based. However,
the Fund cannot, as a practical matter, acquire and hold a portfolio containing
exactly the same securities as underlie the index and, as a result, bears a risk
that the value of the securities held will vary from the value of the index.

Even if the Fund could assemble a securities portfolio that exactly reproduced
the composition of the underlying index, it still would not be fully covered
from a risk standpoint because of the "timing risk" inherent in writing index
options. When an index option is exercised, the amount of cash that the holder
is entitled to receive is determined by the difference between the exercise
price and the closing index level on the date when the option is exercised. As
with other kinds of options, the Fund as the call writer will not know that it
has been assigned until the next business


                                      B-10
<PAGE>   172



day at the earliest. The time lag between exercise and notice of assignment
poses no risk for the writer of a covered call on a specific underlying
security, such as a common stock, because there the writer's obligation is to
deliver the underlying security, not to pay its value as of a fixed time in the
past. So long as the writer already owns the underlying security, it can satisfy
its settlement obligations by simply delivering it, and the risk that its value
may have declined since the exercise date is borne by the exercising holder. In
contrast, even if the writer of an index call holds securities that exactly
match the composition of the underlying index, it will not be able to satisfy
its assignment obligations by delivering those securities against payment of the
exercise price. Instead, it will be required to pay cash in an amount based on
the closing index value on the exercise date; and by the time it learns that it
has been assigned, the index may have declined, with a corresponding decline in
the value of its securities portfolio. This "timing risk" is an inherent
limitation on the ability of index call writers to cover their risk exposure by
holding securities positions.

If the Fund has purchased an index option and exercises it before the closing
index value for that day is available, it runs the risk that the level of the
underlying index may subsequently change. If such a change causes the exercised
option to fall out-of-the-money, the Fund will be required to pay the difference
between the closing index value and the exercise price of the option (times the
applicable multiplier) to the assigned writer.

BORROWING

The Fund may (1) borrow money from banks and (2) make other investments or
engage in other transactions permissible under the Investment Company Act of
1940 ("1940 Act") which may involve a borrowing, provided that the combination
of (1) and (2) shall not exceed 33-1/3% of the value of the Fund's total assets
(including the amount borrowed), less the Fund's liabilities (other than
borrowings), except that the Fund may borrow up to an additional 5% of its total
assets (not including the amount borrowed) from a bank for temporary or
emergency purposes (but not for leverage or the purchase of investments). The
Fund may also borrow money from other persons to the extent permitted by
applicable law.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. A repurchase agreement is an
instrument under which the Fund acquires ownership of a debt security and the
seller agrees, at the time of the sale, to repurchase the obligation at a
mutually agreed upon time and price, thereby determining the yield during the
Fund's holding period. Although the Fund will enter into repurchase agreements
only with institutions that the Adviser believes present minimal credit risk, it
is conceivable that a repurchase agreement issuer could seek relief under
bankruptcy laws or otherwise default on its obligations under its repurchase
agreement. In that event, the Fund could experience both delays in liquidating
the underlying securities and losses, including: (1) a possible decline in the
value of the underlying security during the period while the Fund seeks to
enforce its rights thereto; (2) possible subnormal levels of income and lack of
access to income during this period; (3) a possible loss on the sale of the
underlying collateral; and (4) expenses of enforcing its rights.


                                      B-11
<PAGE>   173



LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

Securities loans are made to broker-dealers or institutional investors or other
persons, pursuant to agreements requiring that the loans be continuously secured
by collateral at least equal at all times to the value of the securities lent,
marked to market on a daily basis. The collateral received will consist of cash,
U.S. Government securities, letters of credit or such other collateral as may be
permitted under the Fund's investment program. While the securities are being
lent, the Fund will continue to receive the equivalent of the interest or
dividends paid by the issuer on the securities, as well as interest on the
investment of the collateral or a fee from the borrower. The Fund has a right to
call each loan and obtain the securities, within such period of time which
coincides with the normal settlement period for purchases and sales of such
securities in the respective markets. The Fund will not have the right to vote
on securities while they are being lent, but it will call a loan in anticipation
of any important vote.

Risks. The risks in lending portfolio securities, as with other extensions of
secured credit, consist of possible delay in receiving additional collateral or
in the recovery of the securities or possible loss of rights in the collateral
should the borrower fail financially. Loans will only be made to firms deemed by
the Adviser to be of good standing and will not be made unless, in the judgment
of the Adviser, the consideration to be earned from such loans would justify the
risk.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

The Fund may sell a portfolio security, and will reinvest the proceeds, whenever
the Adviser deems such action prudent. The Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate
may vary significantly from year to year. A higher rate of portfolio turnover
may result in higher transaction costs, including brokerage commissions. Also,
to the extent that higher portfolio turnover results in a higher rate of net
realized capital gains to the Fund, the portion of the Fund's distributions
constituting taxable capital gains may increase. The Adviser does not expect the
annual portfolio turnover rates for either Fund to exceed 100%.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The Trust has adopted the following restrictions as fundamental policies for the
Fund as stated. These restrictions are fundamental policies of the Fund and may
not be changed for any given Fund without the approval of the lesser of (i) more
than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund or (ii) 67% or more of
the voting securities present at a shareholder meeting of the Fund if more than
50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are represented at the
meeting in person or by proxy. The investment restrictions of one Fund thus may
be changed without affecting those of the other Fund. Under the restrictions,
the Fund MAY NOT:

1.   Issue senior securities, except to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act,
     including permitted borrowings.

2.   Make loans, except for collateralized loans of portfolio securities in an
     amount not exceeding 33-1/3% of the Fund's total assets (at the time of the
     most recent loan). This limitation does not apply to purchases of debt
     securities or to repurchase agreements.


                                      B-12
<PAGE>   174



3.   (1) Borrow money from banks and (2) make other investments or engage in
     other transactions permissible under the Investment Company Act of 1940
     ("1940 Act") which may involve a borrowing, provided that the combination
     of (1) and (2) shall not exceed 33-1/3% of the value of the Fund's total
     assets (including the amount borrowed), less the Fund's liabilities (other
     than borrowings), except that the Fund may borrow up to an additional 5% of
     its total assets (not including the amount borrowed) from a bank for
     temporary or emergency purposes (but not for leverage or the purchase of
     investments). The Fund may also borrow money from other persons to the
     extent permitted by applicable law.

4.   Invest 25% or more of the Fund's total assets (at the time of the most
     recent investment) in any single industry. The Internet is not considered
     an industry for purposes of this limitation. This limitation does not apply
     to investments in obligations of the US. Government or any of its agencies
     or instrumentalities.

5.   Act as an underwriter, except to the extent that, in connection with the
     disposition of portfolio securities, the Fund may be deemed to be an
     underwriter for purposes of the 1933 Act.

6.   Purchase securities of other investment companies, except to the extent
     permitted by the 1940 Act, regulations thereunder, or exemptions therefrom.

7.   Purchase or sell commodity contracts, except that the Fund may, as
     appropriate and consistent with its investment objectives and policies,
     enter into financial futures contracts, options on such futures contracts,
     foreign currency forward contracts, forward commitments, and repurchase
     agreements.

8.   Make short sales of securities or maintain a short position if, when added
     together, more than 25% of the value of the Fund's net assets would be (i)
     deposited as collateral for the obligation to replace securities borrowed
     to effect short sales and (ii) allocated to segregated accounts in
     connection with short sales. Short sales "against-the-box" are not subject
     to this limitation.

9.   Purchase or sell real estate or any interest therein, except that the Fund
     may, as appropriate and consistent with its investment objectives and
     policies, invest in securities of corporate and governmental entities
     secured by real estate or marketable interests therein, or securities of
     issuers that engage in real estate operations or interests therein, and may
     hold and sell real estate acquired as a result of ownership of such
     securities.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES

SERVICES

Under an Advisory Agreement, e-harmon Capital Management LLC (which we call the
Adviser) provides the Fund with discretionary investment services. Specifically,
it is responsible for supervising and directing the investments of the Fund in
accordance with the Fund's investment objectives, program, and restrictions as
provided in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information. The
Adviser is also responsible for effecting all security transactions on behalf of
the Fund, including the negotiation of commissions and the allocation of
portfolio brokerage. In addition to these services, the Adviser provides the
Fund with certain corporate administrative services, including: maintaining the
Fund's corporate records; registering and qualifying Fund shares under federal
laws; monitoring the financial, accounting, and administrative functions of the
Fund; maintaining relationships with the agents employed by the Fund such as the
Fund's custodian and transfer agent; assisting the Fund in the coordination of
such agents' activities; and permitting the Adviser's employees to serve as
officers, trustees, and committee members of the Trust without cost to the Fund.

The Advisory Agreement also provides that the Adviser, its members, officers,
employees, and certain other persons performing specific functions for the Fund
will only be liable to the Fund for losses resulting from willful misfeasance,
bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of duty.

MANAGEMENT FEE

The Fund pays the Adviser a management fee ("Fee") of 0.40% of the average daily
net assets of the Fund annually. The Advisory Agreement between the Fund and the
Adviser provides that the Fund bears all expenses of its operations not
specifically assumed by the Adviser.

FUND EXPENSES

In addition to the management fee, the Fund pays for the following: shareholder
service expenses; custodial, accounting, legal and audit fees; costs of
preparing and printing prospectuses and reports sent to shareholders;
registration fees and expenses; proxy and annual meeting expenses (if any) and
Trustee fees and expenses.

ADMINISTRATION AND FUND ACCOUNTING

Sunstone Financial Group, Inc., 207 East Buffalo Street, Suite 400, Milwaukee,
Wisconsin 53202 ("Sunstone") provides various administrative and fund accounting
services to the Fund under an Administration and Fund Accounting Agreement dated
April _______, 2000 (the "Administration Agreement"). Sunstone's services
include, but are not limited to, the following: calculating the daily net asset
value for the Fund; overseeing the Fund's Custodian; assistance in preparing and
filing all federal income and excise tax filings (other than those to be made by
the Fund's Custodian); overseeing the Fund's fidelity insurance relationships;
preparing notice and renewal securities filings pursuant to state securities
laws; compiling data for and preparing


                                      B-15
<PAGE>   177



notices to the SEC; preparing financial statements for the annual and
semi-annual reports to the SEC and current investors; monitoring the Fund's
expenses; monitoring the Fund's status as a regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Code; monitoring compliance with the Fund's investment
policies and restrictions and generally assisting the Fund's administrative
operations.

Sunstone, at its own expense, and without reimbursement from the Fund, furnishes
office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment, supplies and
clerical and executive personnel for performing the services required to be
performed by it under the Administration Agreement. The Administration Agreement
will remain in effect until _______________ (the "Initial Term") and thereafter
for successive annual periods. After the Initial Term, the Administration
Agreement may be terminated on not less than ___ days' notice, without the
payment of any penalty, by the Board of Trustees of the Trust or by Sunstone.
Under the Administration Agreement, the Fund has agreed to indemnify Sunstone
against all claims except those resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence of Sunstone. Sunstone may provide similar services to
others, including other investment companies.

For the foregoing, Sunstone receives a fee on the value of the Fund computed
daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.__ percent of the first $__
million of its average daily net assets, and decreasing as assets reach certain
levels, subject to an annual minimum fee of $_________ per Fund, plus
out-of-pocket expenses.

TRANSFER AGENT AND DIVIDEND-PAYING AGENT

Sunstone also acts as the Fund's transfer agent and dividend-paying agent. As
such, Sunstone processes purchase and redemption requests for the securities of
the Fund, keeps records of shareholder accounts and transactions, pays dividends
as declared by the Board of Trustees and issues confirmations of transactions to
shareholders. For these services, the Fund pays Sunstone a fee based on the
number of shareholder accounts, transactions and other activities, subject to a
minimum annual fee. Sunstone does not exercise any supervisory functions over
the management of the Fund or the purchase and sale of Fund securities.


FUND DISTRIBUTION

Sunstone Distribution Services, LLC ("Sunstone Distribution") serves as
distributor to the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement ("Distribution
Agreement"). The offering of the Fund's shares is continuous. The Distribution
Agreement provides that Sunstone Distribution may incur expenses for appropriate
distribution activities that it deems reasonable and which are primarily
intended to result in the sale of shares of the Fund, including, but not limited
to, advertising, the printing and mailing of prospectuses to other than current
shareholders, and the printing and mailing of sales literature. At the direction
of the Trust, Sunstone Distribution may enter into servicing and/or selling
agreements with qualified broker/dealers and other persons with respect to the
offering of Shares to the public. Sunstone Distribution's address is 207 East
Buffalo Street, Milwaukee, WI 53202.

Distribution and Service Plan

The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan
authorizes payments by the Fund in connection with the distribution of its
shares at an annual rate, as determined from time to time by the Board of
Trustees, or up to [.25]% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Payments may be made by the Fund under the Plan for the purpose of financing any
activity primarily intended to result in the sales of shares of the Fund as
determined by the Board of Trustees. Such activities typically include
advertising compensation for sales and sales marketing activities, such as
dealers or distributors; [shareholder account servicing;] and production and
dissemination of prospectuses and sales and marketing materials to prospective
investors. To the extent any activity is one which the Fund may finance without
a Plan, the Fund may also make payments to finance such activity outside of the
Plan and not subject to its limitations. Payments under the Plan are not tied
exclusively to actual distribution and service expenses, and the payments may
exceed distribution and service expenses actually incurred.

Administration of the Plan is regulated by Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, under
which the Board of Trustees is required to receive and review at least quarterly
reports concerning the nature and qualification of expenses incurred and approve
all agreements implementing the Plan. The Plan may be continued from
year-to-year only if the Board of Trustees concludes at least annually that
continuation of the Plan is likely to benefit shareholders.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

The Fund from time to time may enter into agreements with outside parties
through which shareholders hold Fund shares. The shares would be held by such
parties in omnibus accounts. The agreements would provide for payments by the
Fund to the outside party for shareholder services provided to shareholders in
the omnibus accounts.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

INVESTMENT OR BROKERAGE DISCRETION

Decisions with respect to the purchase and sale of portfolio securities on
behalf of the Fund are made by the Adviser. The Adviser is also responsible for
implementing these decisions, including the negotiation of commissions and the
allocation of portfolio brokerage and principal business.

HOW BROKERS AND DEALERS ARE SELECTED

EQUITY SECURITIES

In purchasing and selling equity securities, it is the Adviser's policy to
obtain quality execution at the most favorable prices through responsible
brokers and dealers and, in the case of agency transactions, at competitive
commission rates. However, under certain conditions, the Fund may pay higher
brokerage commissions in return for brokerage and research services. As a
general practice, over-the-counter orders are executed with market-makers. In
selecting among market-makers, the Adviser generally seeks to select those it
believes to be actively and effectively trading the security being purchased or
sold. In selecting broker-dealers to execute the Fund's portfolio transactions,
consideration is given to such factors as the price of the security, the rate of
the commission, the size and difficulty of the order, the reliability,
integrity, financial condition, general execution and operational capabilities
of competing brokers and dealers, their expertise in particular markets and
brokerage and research services provided by them. It is not the policy of the
Adviser to seek the lowest available commission rate where it is believed that a
broker or dealer charging a higher commission rate would offer greater
reliability or provide better price or execution services.

FIXED INCOME SECURITIES

Fixed income securities are generally purchased from the issuer or a primary
market-maker acting as principal for the securities on a net basis, with no
brokerage commission being paid by the client although the price usually
includes an undisclosed compensation. Transactions placed through dealers
serving as primary market-makers reflect the spread between the bid and asked
prices. Securities may also be purchased from underwriters at prices which
include underwriting fees.

With respect to equity and fixed income securities, the Adviser may effect
principal transactions on behalf of the Fund with a broker or dealer who
furnishes brokerage and/or research services, designate any such broker or
dealer to receive selling concessions, discounts or other allowances, or
otherwise deal with any such broker or dealer in connection with the acquisition
of securities in underwritings. The Adviser may receive research services in
connection with brokerage transactions, including designations in a fixed price
offerings.


                                      B-18
<PAGE>   180



HOW EVALUATIONS ARE MADE OF THE OVERALL
REASONABLENESS OF BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS PAID

On a continuing basis, the Adviser seeks to determine what levels of commission
rates are reasonable in the marketplace for transactions executed on behalf of
the Fund. In evaluating the reasonableness of commission rates, the Adviser
considers: (1) historical commission rates, (2) rates which other institutional
investors are paying, based on available public information, (3) rates quoted by
brokers and dealers, (4) the size of a particular transaction, in terms of the
number of shares, dollar amount, and number of clients involved, (5) the
complexity of a particular transaction in terms of both execution and
settlement, (6) the level and type of business done with a particular firm over
a period of time, and (7) the extent to which the broker or dealer has capital
at risk in the transaction.

RESEARCH SERVICES RECEIVED FROM BROKERS AND DEALERS

The Adviser receives a wide range of research services from brokers and dealers.
These services include information on the economy, industries, groups of
securities, individual companies, statistical information, accounting and tax
law interpretations, political developments, legal developments affecting
portfolio securities, technical market action, pricing and appraisal services,
credit analysis, risk measurement analysis, performance analysis and analysis of
corporate responsibility issues. These services provide both domestic and
international perspective. Research services are received primarily in the form
of written reports, computer generated services, telephone contacts and personal
meetings with security analysts. In addition, such services may be provided in
the form of meetings arranged with corporate and industry spokespersons,
economists, and government representatives. In some cases, research services are
generated by third parties but are provided to the adviser by or through
broker-dealers.

Research services received from brokers and dealers are supplemental to the
Adviser's own research efforts and, when utilized, are subject to internal
analysis before being incorporated by the Adviser into its investment process.
As a practical matter, it would not be possible for the Adviser to generate all
of the information presently provided by brokers and dealers. The Adviser pays
cash for certain research services received from external sources. The Adviser
also allocates brokerage for research services which are available for cash.
While receipt of research services from brokerage firms has not reduced the
Adviser's normal research activities, the expenses of the Adviser could be
materially increased if it attempted to generate such additional information
through its own staff. To the extent that research services of value are
provided by brokers or dealers, the Adviser may be relieved of expenses which it
might otherwise bear.

The Adviser has a policy of not allocating brokerage business in return for
products or services other than brokerage or research services. In accordance
with the provisions of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Adviser may from time to time receive services and products which serve both
research and non-research functions. In such event, the Adviser makes a good
faith determination of the anticipated research and non-research use of the
product or service and allocates brokerage only with respect to the research
component.


                                      B-19
<PAGE>   181



COMMISSIONS TO BROKERS WHO FURNISH RESEARCH SERVICES

Certain brokers and dealers who provide quality brokerage and execution services
also furnish research services to the Adviser. With regard to the payment of
brokerage commissions, the Adviser has adopted a brokerage allocation policy
embodying the concepts of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
which permits an investment adviser to cause an account to pay commission rates
in excess of those another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting the
same transaction, if the Adviser determines in good faith that the commission
paid is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research
services provided. The determination may be viewed in terms of either the
particular transaction involved or the overall responsibilities of the Adviser
with respect to the accounts over which it exercises investment discretion.
Accordingly, while the Adviser cannot readily determine the extent to which
commission rates or net prices charged by broker-dealers reflect the value of
their research services, the Adviser would expect to assess the reasonableness
of commissions in light of the total brokerage and research services provided by
each particular broker. The Adviser may receive research, as defined in Section
28(e), in connection with selling concessions and designations in fixed price
offerings in which the Fund participates.

INTERNAL ALLOCATION PROCEDURES

The Adviser has a policy of not precommitting a specific amount of business to
any broker or dealer over any specific time period. Brokerage placement is
determined by the needs of a specific transaction such as market-making,
availability of a buyer or seller of a particular security, or specialized
execution skills. However, the Adviser does have an internal brokerage
allocation procedure for that portion of its discretionary client brokerage
business where special needs do not exist, or where the business may be
allocated among several brokers or dealers which are able to meet the needs of
the transaction.

Each year, the Adviser assesses the contribution of the brokerage and research
services provided by brokers or dealers, and attempts to allocate a portion of
its brokerage business in response to these assessments. The investment team
seeks to evaluate the brokerage and research services they receive from brokers
or dealers and make judgments as to the level of business which would recognize
such services. In addition, brokers or dealers sometimes suggest a level of
business they would like to receive in return for the various brokerage and
research services they provide. Actual brokerage received by any firm may be
less than the suggested allocations but can, and often does, exceed the
suggestions, because the total business is allocated on the basis of all the
considerations described above. In no case is a broker or dealer excluded from
receiving business from the Adviser because it has not been identified as
providing research services.

MISCELLANEOUS

The Adviser's brokerage allocation policy is consistently applied to all its
fully discretionary accounts, which represent a substantial majority of all
assets under management. Research services furnished by brokers or dealers
through which the Adviser effects securities transactions may be used in
servicing all accounts (including non-Fund accounts) managed by the Adviser.
Conversely, research services received from brokers or dealers which execute
transactions for


                                      B-20
<PAGE>   182



the Fund are not necessarily used by the Adviser exclusively in connection with
the management of the Fund. From time to time, orders for clients may be placed
through a computerized transaction network.

The Fund does not allocate business to any broker-dealer on the basis of sales
of the Fund's shares. However, this does not mean that broker-dealers who
purchase Fund shares for their clients will not receive business from the Fund.

Some of the Adviser's other clients have investment objectives and programs
similar to those of the Fund. The Adviser may occasionally make recommendations
to other clients which result in their purchasing or selling securities
simultaneously with the Fund. As a result, the demand for securities being
purchased or the supply of securities being sold may increase, and this could
have an adverse effect on the price of those securities. It is the Adviser's
policy not to favor one client over another in making recommendations or in
placing orders. The Adviser frequently follows the practice of grouping orders
of various clients for execution which generally results in lower commission
rates being attained. In certain cases, where the aggregate order is executed in
a series of transactions at various prices on a given day, each participating
client's proportionate share of such order reflects the average price paid or
received with respect to the total order.

At the present time, the Adviser does not recapture commissions or underwriting
discounts or selling group concessions in connection with taxable securities
acquired in underwritten offerings.

TRADE ALLOCATION POLICIES

The Adviser has developed written trade allocation guidelines for its accounts.
Generally, when the amount of securities available in a public offering or the
secondary market is insufficient to satisfy the volume or price requirements for
the participating client portfolios, the guidelines require a pro-rata
allocation based upon the amounts initially requested by each portfolio manager.
In allocating trades made on combined basis, the Adviser seeks to achieve the
same net unit price of the securities for each participating client. Because a
pro-rata allocation may not always adequately accommodate all facts and
circumstances, the guidelines provide for exceptions to allocate trades on an
adjusted, pro-rata basis. Examples of where adjustments may be made include: (1)
reallocations to recognize the efforts of a portfolio manager in negotiating a
transaction or a private placement, (2) reallocations to eliminate de minimis
positions, (3) priority for accounts with specialized investment policies and
objectives and (4) reallocations in light of a participating portfolio's
characteristics (e.g., industry or issuer concentration, duration, and credit
exposure).

PRICING OF SECURITIES

Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities exchange are valued
at the last quoted sales price at the time the valuations are made. A security
that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on
the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. Listed
securities not traded on a particular day and securities regularly traded in the
over-the-counter market are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked
prices. Other


                                      B-21
<PAGE>   183



equity securities are valued at a price within the limits of the latest bid and
asked prices deemed by the Board of Trustees, or by persons delegated by the
Board, best to reflect fair value.

Debt securities are generally traded in the over-the-counter market and are
valued at a price deemed best to reflect fair value as quoted by dealers who
make markets in these securities or by an independent pricing service.
Short-term debt securities are valued at their amortized cost in local currency
which, when combined with accrued interest, approximates fair value. Investments
in mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of the
mutual fund on the day of valuation. In the absence of a last sale price,
purchased and written options are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked
prices, respectively.

For the purposes of determining the Fund's net asset value per share, the U.S.
dollar value of all assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign
currencies is determined by using the mean of the bid and offer prices of such
currencies against U.S. dollars quoted by a major bank. Assets and liabilities
for which the above valuation procedures are inappropriate or are deemed not to
reflect fair value, are stated at fair value as determined in good faith by or
under the supervision of the officers of the Trust, as authorized by the Board
of Trustees.

NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE

The Fund's net asset value per share is determined by subtracting its
liabilities (including accrued expenses and dividends payable) from its total
assets (the market value of the securities the Fund holds plus cash and other
assets, including income accrued but not yet received) and dividing the result
by the total number of shares outstanding. The net asset value per share of the
Fund is normally calculated as of the close of trading (generally 3 p.m. Central
time) on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") every day the NYSE is open for
trading. The NYSE is closed on the following days: New Year's Day, Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. Holiday, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

Determination of net asset value (and the offering, redemption and repurchase of
shares) for the Fund may be suspended at times (1) during which the NYSE is
closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (2) during which
trading on the NYSE is restricted, (3) during which an emergency exists as a
result of which disposal by the Fund of securities owned by it is not reasonably
practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund fairly to determine
the value of its net assets, or (4) during which a governmental body having
jurisdiction over the Fund may by order permit such a suspension for the
protection of the Fund's shareholders; provided that applicable rules and
regulations of the SEC shall govern as to whether the conditions prescribed in
(2), (3), or (4) exist.

TAX STATUS

The Fund intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Qualification
as a regulated investment company essentially allows the Fund (but not its
shareholders) to avoid paying federal income tax on ordinary income and capital
gains which are distributed to shareholders.


                                      B-22
<PAGE>   184



In addition, it permits net capital gains (the excess of net long-term capital
gains over net short-term capital losses) of the Fund to be treated as long-term
capital gains of the Fund's shareholders, regardless of how long the
shareholders have held their shares.

If the Fund fails to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company
under the Code, that Fund will not be afforded this special treatment. Rather,
the Fund will be subject to federal income tax on its net income and capital
gains at the applicable corporate income tax rate, regardless of whether
distributions are made to shareholders. In addition, any dividend distributions
to the shareholders will constitute ordinary income which will be subject to
federal income tax at the shareholder level.

As a regulated investment company, the Fund will be required to distribute 98%
of its ordinary income in the same calendar year in which such income is earned.
During the calendar year, the Fund is also required to distribute 98% of the
capital gain net income they earned during the twelve-month period ending on
October 31 of such calendar year. In addition, during the calendar year, the
Fund must distribute all undistributed ordinary income from the prior year and
all undistributed capital gain net income from the twelve-month period ending on
October 31 of the prior calendar year. To the extent they do not meet these
distribution requirements, the Fund will be subject to a non-deductible 4%
excise tax on the undistributed amount. For purposes of this excise tax, income
on which the Fund pays income tax is treated as distributed.

At the time of an investor's purchase, the Fund's net asset values may reflect
undistributed income, capital gains, and/or net unrealized appreciation of
securities held by the Fund. A subsequent distribution to an investor of such
amounts, although constituting a return of his or her investment, would be
taxable as a dividend or capital gain distribution. For federal income tax
purposes, dividends and capital gain distributions paid to shareholders in
additional shares are treated the same as if such payments were made in cash. A
portion of the dividends paid by the Fund to corporate shareholders may be
eligible for the 70% dividends-received deduction.

Gains or losses on sales of securities by the Fund will be treated as long-term
capital gains or losses if the securities have been held by it for more than one
year, except in certain cases where the Fund acquires a put or writes a call
thereon or otherwise holds an offsetting position with respect to the
securities. Other gains or losses on the sale of securities will be short-term
capital gains or losses. Gains and losses on the sale, lapse or other
termination of options on securities will be treated as gains and losses from
the sale of securities. If an option written by the Fund on securities lapses or
is terminated through a closing transaction, such as a repurchase by the Fund of
the option from its holder, the Fund will generally realize short-term capital
gain or loss. If securities are sold by the Fund pursuant to the exercise of a
call option written by it, the Fund will include the premium received in the
sale proceeds of the securities delivered in determining the amount of gain or
loss on the sale. Certain of the Fund's transactions may be subject to wash
sale, short sale, constructive sale, anti-conversion and straddle provisions of
the Code which may, among other things, require the Fund to defer recognition of
losses. In addition, debt securities acquired by the Fund may be subject to
original issue discount and market discount rules which, respectively, may cause
the Fund to accrue income in advance of the receipt of cash with respect to
interest or cause gains to be treated as ordinary income.

Special rules apply to most options on stock indices, future contracts and
options thereon, and foreign currency forward contracts in which the Fund may
invest. These investments will generally constitute Section 1256 contracts under
the Code, and will be required to be "marked to market" for federal income tax
purposes at the end of the Fund's taxable year; that is, treated as having been
sold at market value. Except with respect to certain foreign currency forward
contracts, sixty percent of any gain or loss recognized on such deemed sales and
on actual dispositions will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss, and
the remainder will be treated as short-term capital gain or loss.

For federal income tax purposes, the Fund is permitted to carry forward their
net realized capital losses, if any, for eight years and thus may realize net
capital gains up to the amount of such losses without being required to pay
taxes on, or distribute, such gains. However, the Fund currently does not have
any net realized capital losses, and thus will not be able to offset any net
realized capital gains.

Dividends and capital gain distributions may also be subject to state and/or
local taxes.

FOREIGN CURRENCY GAINS AND LOSSES

Gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates which occur
between the time the Fund accrues interest or other receivables or accrues
expenses or other liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and the time the
Fund actually collects such receivables or pays such liabilities are treated as
ordinary income or ordinary loss. Similarly, gains or losses on foreign currency
forward contracts or dispositions of debt securities denominated in a foreign
currency attributable to fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency
between the date of acquisition of the security and the date of disposition also
are treated as ordinary gain or loss. These gains or losses, referred to under
the Code as "Section 988" gains or losses, increase or decrease the amount of
the Fund's investment company taxable income available to be distributed to its
shareholders as ordinary income, rather than increasing or decreasing the amount
of the Fund's net capital gain. If Section 988 losses exceed other investment
company taxable income during a taxable year, (1) the Fund would not be able to
make any ordinary dividend distributions, or (2) distributions made before the
losses were realized would be recharacterized as a return of capital to
shareholders (as opposed to being treated as an ordinary dividend) thereby
reducing each shareholder's basis in his or her Fund shares.

Investors should consult their own tax advisers with respect to the particular
tax consequences to them of an investment in the Fund.

PASSIVE FOREIGN INVESTMENT COMPANIES

The Fund may purchase the securities of certain foreign investment funds or
trusts called passive foreign investment companies ("PFICs"). In addition to
bearing their proportionate share of the Fund's expenses (management fees and
operating expenses), the Fund's shareholders will also indirectly bear similar
expenses of any PFICs in which the Fund invests. Capital gains on the


                                      B-24
<PAGE>   186



sale of such holdings are considered ordinary income regardless of how long the
Fund holds the investment. In addition, the Fund may be subject to corporate
income tax and an interest charge on certain dividends and capital gains earned
from these investments, regardless of whether such income and gains are
distributed to the Fund's shareholders.

To avoid such tax and interest, the Fund intends to treat these securities as
sold on the last day of its fiscal year and recognize any gains for federal
income tax purposes at that time. Deductions for losses are allowable only to
the extent of any gains resulting from these deemed sales for prior taxable
years. Such gains and losses will be treated as ordinary income. The Fund will
be required to distribute any resulting income even though it has not actually
sold the security and received cash to pay such distributions.

Income received by the Fund from sources within foreign countries may be subject
to withholding and other taxes imposed by such countries. Income tax treaties
between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such
taxes. However, it is impossible to determine in advance the effective rate of
foreign tax to which the Fund will be subject, since the amount of the Fund's
assets to be invested in various countries will vary.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

TOTAL RETURN PERFORMANCE

The Fund's calculation of total return performance includes the reinvestment of
all capital gain distributions and income dividends for the period or periods
indicated, without regard to tax consequences to a shareholder in the Fund.
Total return is calculated as the percentage change between the beginning value
of a static account in the Fund and the ending value of that account measured by
the then current net asset value, including all shares acquired through
reinvestment of income and capital gain dividends.

OUTSIDE SOURCES OF INFORMATION

From time to time, in reports and promotional literature: (1) the Fund's total
return performance, ranking, or any other measure of the Fund's performance may
be compared to any one or combination of the following: (a) a broad-based index;
(b) other groups of mutual funds, tracked by independent research firms ranking
entities, or financial publications; (c) indices of securities comparable to
those in which the Fund invests; (2) the Consumer Price Index (or any other
measure for inflation, government statistics, such as GNP may be used to
illustrate investment attributes of the Fund or the general economic, business,
investment, or financial environment in which the Fund operates; (3) various
financial, economic and market statistics developed by brokers, dealers and
other persons may be used to illustrate aspects of the Fund's performance; (4)
the effect of tax-deferred compounding on the Fund's investment returns, or on
returns in general in both qualified and nonqualified retirement plans or any
other tax advantage product, may be illustrated by graphs, charts, etc.; and (5)
the sectors or industries in which the Fund invests may be compared to relevant
indices or surveys in order to evaluate the Fund's historical performance or
current or potential value with respect to the particular industry or sector.

OTHER PUBLICATIONS

From time to time, in newsletters and other publications issued by e-harmon.com,
Inc. our mutual fund portfolio managers or analysts may discuss economic,
financial and political developments in the U.S. and abroad and how these
conditions have affected or may affect securities prices or the Fund; individual
securities within the Fund's portfolio; and their philosophy regarding the
selection of individual stocks, including why specific stocks have been added,
removed or excluded from the Fund's portfolio.

SHARES

The Trust was organized as an unincorporated business trust in 1999 under the
laws of Delaware. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares
of beneficial interest, $.01 par value per share, divided into two series (the
Funds).

e-harmon Net 30 Index Fund has one class of shares, the Investor Class shares.
Each share represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund and is
identical in all respects.

In accordance with the Trust's Declaration of Trust, the Trustees may authorize
the creation of additional series and classes within such series, with such
preferences, privileges, limitations and voting and dividend rights as the
Trustees may determine. The voting rights of the shareholders of a series or
class can be modified only by the vote of shareholders of that series or class.
Shares of the Trust, when issued, are fully paid, nonassessable, fully
transferable and redeemable at the option of the holder. Shares are also
redeemable at the option of the Trust under certain circumstances. Each share of
each class is equal as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except as
noted above, and each class of shares bears the expenses related to the
distribution of its shares. There are no conversion, preemptive or other
subscription rights. In the event of liquidation, each share of the Fund is
entitled to its portion of all of the Fund's assets after all debt and expenses
of the Fund have been paid.

The Trust does not intend to hold annual meetings of shareholders unless
otherwise required by law. The Trust will not be required to hold meetings of
shareholders unless, for example, the election of Trustees is required to be
acted on by shareholders under the 1940 Act. Shareholders have certain rights,
including the right to call a meeting upon the vote of 10% of the Trust's
outstanding shares for the purpose of voting on the removal of one or more
Trustees or to transact any other business. Under the Declaration of Trust, the
Trustees may authorize the creation of additional series of shares (the proceeds
of which would be invested in separate, independently managed portfolios with
distinct investment objectives and policies and share purchase, redemption and
net asset value procedures) with such preferences, privileges, limitations and
voting and dividend rights as the Trustees may determine. All consideration
received by the Trust for shares of any additional series, and all assets in
which such consideration is invested, would belong to that series (subject only
to the rights of creditors of that series) and would be subject to the
liabilities related thereto. Under the 1940 Act, shareholders of any additional
series of shares would normally have to approve the adoption of any advisory
contract relating to such series and of certain changes in the investment
policies related thereto. The Trustees have the power to alter the number and
the terms of office of the


                                      B-26
<PAGE>   188



Trustees, provided that always at least a majority of the Trustees have been
elected by the shareholders of the Trust. The voting rights of shareholders are
not cumulative, so that holders of more than 50 percent of the shares voting
can, if they choose, elect all Trustees being selected, while the holders of the
remaining shares would be unable to elect any Trustees.

ITEM 25.  INDEMNIFICATION

As permitted by Sections 17(h) and (i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, (the Investment Company Act) and pursuant to Article VII of the
Agreement and Declaration of Trust (Exhibit (a) to the Registration Statement)
and Article XI of the Trust's By-Laws (Exhibit (b) to the Registration
Statement), officers, trustees, employees and agents of the Registrant will not
be liable to the Registrant, any stockholder, officer, director, employee, agent
or other person for any action or failure to act, except for bad faith, willful
misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duties, and those
individuals may be indemnified against liabilities in connection with the
Registrant, subject to the same exceptions. Section 3817 of the Delaware
Business Trust Act permits indemnification of trustees who acted in good faith
and reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interest of the
Registrant.

The Registrant hereby undertakes that it will apply the indemnification
provisions of its By-Laws and the Distribution Agreement in a manner consistent
with Release No. 11330 of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Investment Company Act as long as the interpretation of Section 17(h) and 17(i)
of such Act remains in effect and is consistently applied.
