Selection Methodology:

Using the Amex Institutional Index (excluding utilities) as our universe of stocks, we selected stocks for the Portfolio by applying a combination of fundamental and technical screening methodologies with an emphasis on momentum, based on the following criteria:

Price Momentum

Recovery

Price/Earnings Ratio

Dividend Yield

We then chose the top-ranked issues from each category and combined them into a single portfolio. The resulting collection of quality, large-cap stocks benefits from the balance of fundamental and technical methodologies built into the selection screens.

Fees & Expenses

Defining Your Costs
First-time investors pay an initial sales charge of about 1% when they buy. In addition, all investors pay a deferred sales charge of $15.00 per 1,000 units, about 1.50%.

	As a % of Public Offering Price	Amount Per 1,000 Units

Initial Sales Charge	1.00%	$10.00
Deferred Sales Charge	1.50%	$15.00

Maximum Sales Charge	2.50%	$25.00
Creation and Development Fee (as a % of net assets on date of deposit - 9/14/2000)	0.250%	$2.48

Estimated Annual Expenses (as a % of net assets on date of deposit)	0.207%	$2.04

Estimated Organization Costs		$2.03

If you sell your units before the termination date, the remaining balance of your deferred sales charge will be deducted, along with the estimated costs of selling Portfolio securities,. If you roll over to a successor Portfolio, if available, the initial sales charge on that Portfolio will be waived. You will only pay the deferred sales charge on that Portfolio. Volume Purchase Discounts
For larger purchases, the overall sales charges are reduced to put more of your investment dollars to work for you.

$50,000 to $99,999	2.25%

The Portfolio does not reflect research opinions or any buy or sell recommendations from the Sponsor.
Each screen involves an element of momentum, which may result in underperformance in declining markets.
The Portfolio is designed for investors who can assume the risks associated with equity investments, and may not be appropriate for investors seeking capital preservation or current income.
The value of your investment will fluctuate with the prices of the underlying stocks. Stock prices can be volatile.

Distributions and Taxes
	Distribution Frequency (if any)
		Two (2) 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%). Your taxable income is expected to include foreign withholding taxes. However, subject to limitations, you may be able to credit these taxes against your U.S. Federal Income Taxes. 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.
