Information with respect to this Trust, including pricing, the size and

with regard to the previous Trust should be considered as being included for
informational purposes only. Investors should contact financial professionals of
the underwriters who will be informed of the expected effective date of this
Trust and who will be supplied with complete information with respect to such
Trust on the day of and immediately prior to the effectiveness of the
registration statement relating to units of the Trust.

     The Trust consists of up to six separate unit investment trusts designated
as the Energy Portfolio, the Financials Portfolio, the Healthcare Portfolio, the
REIT Portfolio, the Technology & Telecommunications Portfolio and the Utilities
Portfolio.

================================================================================

         The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed.
We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer
to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these
securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.
