Re: J&B Funds (the "Fund")
SEC File Nos. 333-43554, 811-10039
Rule 497(j) filing
Dear Sir or Madam:
Pursuant to Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), this letter serves as certification that the form of
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information that would have been filed
under paragraph (c) of Rule 497 would not have differed from those contained
in Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 under the 1933 Act (the "Post Effective
Amendment") to the Registration Statement of the Fund. The Post Effective
Amendment was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
electronically on December 20, 2000.
Please direct any questions or comments relating to this certification
to me at the above phone number.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Diane J. Drake
