The Objective:
The Portfolio seeks total return through a combination of capital appreciation and current dividend income, by investing for about one year in approximately equal values of the ten highest dividend-yielding stocks of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) at the time the Portfolio initially was offered.
The Strategy:
The Select Ten Portfolio employs a disciplined strategy.
Each year, we intend to reapply the screening process to
select a new Portfolio. You can roll your proceeds into the
next Portfolio, if available, at a reduced sales charge, or
you can redeem your investment. Although each Portfolio is a
one-year investment, we recommend you stay with the Strategy
for at least three to five years for potentially more
consistent results. |

Offered By: This portfolio is offered by Merrill Lynch (DOW00C), Salomon Smith Barney (DOW00C), PaineWebber (DOW00C), Morgan Stanley Dean Witter (MDOW00C). |

Selection Methodology:
We select the ten highest dividend-yielding stocks from the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). The financial strength of these companies makes it likely that they can rebound from current price under-valuation. We're sorry... Performance figures for the most recent quarter are not yet available; we'll post them as soon as possible. Fees & Expenses |

Risk Considerations
|
| Distributions and Taxes | ||
| Distribution Frequency (if any) | ||
| Four (4) per year. | ||
| Reinvestment Options | ||
| By selecting the reinvestment option, you're choosing to have your distributions used to purchase additional units of the fund (reinvestment). As such, your investment will increase each distribution period, and because distributions are based in part on the size of your investment, these payments may increase proportionately. | ||
| Tax Reporting | ||
|
When seeking capital appreciation, managing tax liability on capital gains can be important to your overall return. By holding this Fund for more than one year, individuals may be eligible for favorable federal tax rates on net long-term capital gains (currently no more than 20%). Generally, dividends and any net capital gains will be subject to tax each year, whether or not reinvested. However, on rollovers to future Portfolios, if available, certain investors may defer recognition of gains and losses on stocks that are transferred to the new Portfolio. Please consult your tax advisor concerning state and local taxation. The Chase Manhattan Bank Defined Asset Funds® are established as Unit Investment Trusts. By definition, a trust account requires a trustee. The trustee holds the trust securities, ensuring their safekeeping until the trust is terminated. The trustee is also responsible for recordkeeping, for collecting any interest or dividend income and principal payments, and for distributing this money to investors.
