SUPPLEMENT TO PROSPECTUS
DATED MARCH 30, 1999
Pacific Rim Small Company Portfolio and International Small Company Portfolio
Effective June 14, 1999, the Pacific Rim Small Company Portfolio will
resume offering its shares to new investors, and the International Small
Company Portfolio will resume purchasing shares of the Pacific Rim Master
Fund. Consequently, (i) the following paragraph on page 7 of the prospectus
is deleted:
"The Pacific Rim Small Company Portfolio is closed to new
investments. International Small Company Portfolio stopped buying
the Master Fund purchased by that Portfolio. These actions were
taken because the Malaysian government restricted the
ability of foreign investors - including the Master Fund in
question - to withdraw their investments from Malaysia."
(ii) the following two sentences replace the final sentence of the carryover
paragraph on page 33 of the prospectus:
"As of the date of this prospectus, the target allocations noted
above do not reflect current allocations. As of June 14, 1999,
the International Small Company Portfolio resumed investment in
the Pacific Rim Master Fund as a consequence of events in Malaysia
that the Advisor believes has demonstrated an improved investment
climate and regulatory environment."
(iii) the following sentence is inserted on page 33 of the prospectus at the
end of the third complete paragraph:
"As of June 14, 1999, the Pacific Rim Small Company Portfolio resumed
offering its shares to new investors as a consequence of events
in Malaysia that the Advisor believes has demonstrated an improved
investment climate and regulatory environment."

authorities will implement a capital gains tax."
The third and fourth full paragraphs on pages 29-30 of the prospectus
are deleted, and replaced with the following:
"The Portfolios and the Master Funds are presently valuing the
Malaysian investments at the current market prices of the
securities and discounting the U.S. dollar-ringgit currency
exchange rate. The Portfolios and the Master Funds consider their
Malaysian investments to be liquid, as a result of transactions
where the Portfolios and the Master Funds have successfully sold
certain Malaysian investments, and also because of changes in the
Malaysian regulatory environment. It is impossible to predict
future events in Malaysia and what, if any, further actions the
Malaysian government may take that may impact the Malaysian
investments of the Portfolios and the Master Funds. The Advisor
is closely monitoring developments in Malaysia, and will continue
to manage the Malaysian investments in the best interests
of investors.
As of June 7, 1999, Malaysian securities constituted approximately
the following percentages of the net asset value of the designated
