                            SUPPLEMENT TO PROSPECTUS

On October 26,  2000,  the Board of Trustees  that  oversees  each of the Funds,
approved a proposal to appoint Stein Roe  Investment  Counsel LLC as sub-advisor
to the Funds, subject to shareholder approval.  Stein Roe & Farnham Incorporated
(SRF) currently serves as the investment  advisor to each Fund. A core portfolio
team of investment  professionals  within Private  Capital  Management  (PCM), a
strategic  business unit within SRF, runs the day-to-day  business of each Fund,
including  placing all orders for the purchase and sale of each Fund's portfolio
securities.  In a transaction currently scheduled to close by December 31, 2000,
PCM   will   commence    operations   as   an   independent   and   unaffiliated
federally-registered  investment advisor called Stein Roe Investment Counsel LLC
(SRIC)  owned  substantially  by  certain  persons  previously  involved  in the
business of PCM. The Board of Trustees has approved the retention by SRF of SRIC
as a  sub-advisor  to manage  the  investment  assets of each  Fund.  Under this
arrangement,  which is proposed to begin on or about  January 1, 2001,  the same
core  portfolio  team of  investment  professionals  that has been  running  the
day-to-day  business  of each Fund under SRF will  continue  to do so as part of
SRIC.

Shareholders  of each Fund are  scheduled  to vote on the  proposal at a special
meeting of shareholders  currently scheduled to be held on December 27, 2000 and
will be mailed information detailing the proposal on or about November 17, 2000.
