The Objective:
The Portfolio seeks capital appreciation by investing in stocks selected for their growth potential.

The Strategy:
Defined Asset Funds ® , with the help of Portfolio Consultant Netfolios, Inc. (formerly known as O'Shaughnessy Capital Management, Inc.), applies a quantitative model to select stocks for their potential for growth in earnings per share, reasonable valuation levels and strong recent price performance.

The Portfolio then holds the screened growth stocks for about one year. When the Portfolio ends, you can choose to roll your investment into a new Select Growth Portfolio, if available, or you can redeem your investment. Although this is a one-year investment, we suggest you continue with this Strategy for at least three to five years for potentially more consistent results.

Offered By:
This portfolio is offered by Merrill Lynch (SGP00D), Salomon Smith Barney (SGP00D), Morgan Stanley Dean Witter (MGROW00D); Special Dealer - PaineWebber (SGP00D).

Portfolio Holdings
The offering, redemption and repurchase prices for the Fund take into account expenses and sales charges.

Selection Methodology:

The Portfolio Consultant applies its quantitative model to identify stocks with the following characteristics: expected growth rates of earnings per share of at least 20% over the next fiscal year; expected annual earnings growth rates of at least 20% over the next three to five years; a price/earnings ratio not exceeding the expected earnings growth rate over the next three to five years; strong price performance in the six months prior to the application of the model; and a minimum market capitalization of $750 million. Finally, the Defined Asset Funds Research Group selects the ten stocks considered most attractive.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. 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. Returns represent changes in unit price plus reinvestment of any distributions, divided by the initial offer price, and reflect deduction of maximum applicable sales charges and expenses. "From Inception" returns differ from "Most Recently Completed Portfolio" returns because the former figures reflect different performance periods and a reduced sales charge on annual rollovers.

Fees & Expenses

Defining Your Costs
You will pay an initial sales charge of about 1% the first time you buy. In addition, you'll pay a deferred sales charge of $15.00 per 1,000 units.
Unitholder Fees
Maximum as a %
of the Amount Invested
Creation and Development Fee
(0.250% of net assets)
0.30%
Sales Charges
2.50%
Total Maximum Sales Charges
(including creation and development fee)
2.80%
If you sell your units before termination, any remaining balance of your deferred sales charge will be deducted, along with the estimated costs of selling Portfolio securities, from the proceeds you receive. 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.

Portfolio Expenses
Amount per 1,000 Units
Estimated Operating Expenses
(0.242% of net assets)
$2.40
 
Estimated Organization Costs
$2.60
Volume Purchase Discounts
For larger purchases, the initial sales charge (but not the Creation and Development Fee) is reduced to put more of your investment dollars to work for you. The deferred sales charge will not change.

If You
Invest:		 Your Initial Sales Charge (as a
% of your investment) Will Be:*
Less than $50,000 1.00%
$50,000 to $99,999 0.75%
$100,000 to $249,000 0.25%
$250,000 to $999,999 0.00%

If you invest $1,000,000 or more, you will not pay any initial sales charge, and will receive additional units, effectively reducing your deferred sales charge to 0.75% of your investment.

*These percentages are based on a unit price of $1,000 per 1,000 units and will vary as the unit price changes.
