The Objective:
The Select S&P Industrial Portfolio singles out stocks from the S&P Industrial Index for a combination of capital appreciation potential and current dividend income.

The Strategy:
This value-oriented Portfolio seeks total return through a contrarian strategy of selecting 15 Index stocks with high dividend yields, and holding them for about one year.

The Select S&P Industrial Portfolio is based on a disciplined strategy. Each year, we intend to reapply the screening process to select a new Portfolio. At that time, you can choose to either redeem your investment, or roll your proceeds into the next Portfolio, if available, at a reduced sales charge. 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 (IND00G), Salomon Smith Barney (SPI00G), PaineWebber (IND00G), Morgan Stanley Dean Witter (SPIN00G).

Selection Methodology:

Through a disciplined four-part screening process, the Select S&P Industrial Portfolio looks for potential values in the equity market.
  1. Defining the Universe: We begin with the S&P Industrial Index, a subset of the S&P 500 Index, which includes only industrial stocks. Defined Asset Funds then removes any stocks that are also in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA).
  2. Quality Screen: We only consider stocks that are ranked "A+" or "A" by Standard & Poor's Earning and Dividend Ranking for Common Stock. Standard & Poor's determines these stock rankings using a computerized system which focuses primarily on the growth and stability of per-share earnings and dividends. It then assigns a symbol to each stock, from "A+" for the highest ranked stocks to "D" for stocks Standard & Poor's considers to be the most speculative. These rankings differ from credit-worthiness rankings of bonds and are not intended to predict stock price movements.
  3. Market Capitalization: We then rank the stocks by market capitalization and eliminate the lowest 25%. This allows the Portfolio to avoid smaller, less-liquid issues.
  4. Dividend Yield: Finally, we rank the remaining stocks according to dividend yield. From this group, we select the 15 highest dividend-yielding stocks for the Portfolio, whose prices may be undervalued.

Past performance is no guarantee of futures results. Principal value, unit prices and investment returns fluctuate with changes in market conditions. Your investment may be worth more or less than your original cost when you redeem. Return figures represent changes in unit price plus reinvestment of income and principal distributions, divided by the initial offer price, and reflect deduction of maximum applicable sales charges and expenses. "Performance Since Inception" Returns differ from "Most Recently Completed Portfolio" Return because the former figures reflect different performance periods and a reduced sales charge on annual rollovers.

Risk Considerations

Please keep in mind the following factors when considering this investment. Your financial professional will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

This 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.

There can be no assurance that this Portfolio will meet its objective, that dividend rates will be maintained, and that stock or unit prices will not decrease or that this Portfolio will outperform either index.

The value of your investment will fluctuate with the prices of the underlying stocks. Stock prices can be volatile.

These stocks may have higher yields because they or their industries are experiencing difficulties or are out of favor. There can be no assurance that the market factors that caused these relatively low prices will change.

Stocks in this Portfolio were chosen for characteristics such as quality and value, which may be at odds with those of the stocks driving the market at any given time.

For more information on risk considerations, see the prospectus for this Fund.




Distributions and Taxes

Distribution Frequency (if any)
Four (4) per year.
Reinvestment Options
By selecting the reinvestment option, you may choose to have your distributions used to purchase additional units of the fund (reinvestment). As such, your investment will increase each distribution period. 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.
