</TABLE>

      The Table of Fees and Expenses is designed to assist an investor in
understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor in the Class will
bear directly or indirectly. For more complete descriptions of the various costs
and expenses, see "Management of the Trust" below. The expense figures are based
upon actual costs and fees charged to the Class for the fiscal year ended August
31, 1998, as adjusted for current fee arrangements. Future waivers of fees (if
any) may vary from the figures reflected in the Table of Fees and Expenses. To
the extent any service providers assume expenses of the Class, such assumption
of expenses will have the effect of lowering the Class's overall expense ratio
and increasing its yield to investors. Beneficial owners of shares of the Class
should also consider the effect of any charges imposed by the institution
maintaining their accounts.

      The example in the Table of Fees and Expenses assumes that all dividends
and distributions are reinvested and that the amounts listed under "Annual
Portfolio Operating Expenses - Institutional Class" remain the same in the years
shown.

      The example shown in the above table is based on the amounts listed under
"Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses." THE EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED TO
BE AN ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES AND ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY
BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN."

 ***  It is possible that as a result of Rule 12b-1 fees, long-term shareholders
      may pay more than the economic equivalent of the maximum front-end sales
      charges permitted under rules of the National Association of Securities
      Dealers, Inc. Given the Rule 12b-1 fee of the Class, however, it is
      estimated that it would take a substantial number of years for a
      shareholder to exceed such maximum front-end sales charges.

investment, assuming (1) a 5% annual return and (2) redemption at the end of
