                           SUPPLEMENT TO PROSPECTUSES

On October 26, 2000,  the Boards of Trustees  that  oversees  each of the Funds,
decided to  terminate  Liberty Real Estate Fund on November 29, 2000 and Liberty
Counselor Income  Portfolio,  Liberty Counselor  Balanced  Portfolio and Liberty
Counselor  Growth  Portfolio  in  late  December,   or  as  soon  thereafter  as
practicable.  The  Trustees'  decision  was based on the failure of each Fund to
grow  to a  sufficient  size  to  be  operated  on a  cost-effective  basis.  In
connection  with the  termination  of the  Funds,  the  Boards of  Trustees  has
suspended the sale of each Fund's shares. Consequently, purchase orders for Fund
shares  received  (except  those  purchases  that  are  part  of  the  Automatic
Investment Plan,  Automated Dollar Cost Averaging  program,  Automatic  Dividend
Diversification  program,  dividend  reinvestments  and contributions to certain
existing retirement plan accounts) will be rejected by the Funds.
