 * Total return is determined after reflecting the reinvestment of dividends
   declared during the year, by dividing net investment income by average net
   assets. Shares in the Fund are only sold to The Travelers separate accounts
   in connection with the issuance of variable life insurance contracts. The
   above total return does not reflect the deduction of any contract charges or
   fees assessed by The Travelers separate accounts.
    
 
   
** The ratios of expenses to average net assets for 1990 and later years reflect
   an expense reimbursement by The Travelers in connection with voluntary
   expense limitations. Without the expense reimbursement, the ratio of expenses
   to average net assets would have been 1.39%, 1.71%, 7.37%, 6.40%, 8.47%,
   7.70%, 11.61% and 20.99% for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, 1995,
   1994, 1993, 1992, 1991 and 1990, respectively.
    
 
   
 + The amount represented reflects an expense reimbursement by Keystone
   Custodian Funds, Inc. (the prior investment adviser) in connection with a
   voluntary expense limitation. Before the expense reimbursement, the "ratio of
   expenses to average net assets" would have been 8.95%.

                                FUND DESCRIPTION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   
Money Market Portfolio (the "Fund") is registered with the SEC as a diversified
open-end management investment company, commonly known as a mutual fund. The
Fund was created under Massachusetts law as a Massachusetts business trust on
October 1, 1981.
    
 
                       INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The Fund's investment objective is to provide high current income from
short-term money market instruments while emphasizing preservation of capital
and maintaining a high degree of liquidity. The Fund pursues this objective by
investing in securities maturing in one year or less as follows: (1) obligations
issued or guaranteed by the United States government or by any agency or
instrumentality of the United States; (2) certificates of deposit and bankers'
acceptances of banks which are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation and which have total assets of at least $1 billion, including U.S.
branches of foreign banks and foreign branches of U.S. banks; (3) prime
commercial paper, including master demand notes; and (4) repurchase agreements
secured by United States government securities. Securities issued or guaranteed
by the United States government include a variety of Treasury securities that
differ only in their interest rates, maturities and dates of issuance. Treasury
Bills have maturities of one year or less, Treasury Notes have maturities of one
to ten years, and Treasury Bonds generally have maturities of greater than ten
years at the date of issuance.
 
Securities issued or guaranteed by the United States government or its agencies
or instrumentalities include direct obligations of the United States Treasury
and securities issued or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration,
Farmers Home Administration, Export-Import Bank of the United States, Small
Business Administration, Government National Mortgage Association, General
Services Administration, Central Bank for Cooperatives, Federal Home Loan Banks,
Federal Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, Federal
Land Banks, Maritime Administration, The Tennessee Valley Authority, District of
Columbia Armory Board and Federal National Mortgage Association. Some
obligations of United States government agencies and instrumentalities, such as
Treasury Bills and Government National Mortgage Association pass-through
certificates, are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States;
others, such as securities of Federal Home Loan Banks, are supported by the
right of the issuer to borrow from the Treasury; still others, such as bonds
issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association, a private corporation, are
supported only by the credit of the instrumentality. Because the United States
government is not obligated by law to provide support to an instrumentality it
sponsors, the Fund will invest in the securities issued by such an
instrumentality only when the investment adviser determines that the credit risk
with respect to the instrumentality does not make its securities unsuitable
investments for the Fund. United States government securities do not include
international agencies or instrumentalities in which the United States
government, its agencies or instrumentalities participate, such as the World
Bank, the Asian Development Bank or issues insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. The Fund offers a convenient alternative to investing
directly in money market instruments by eliminating the mechanical problems
normally associated with direct investments while, most importantly, providing
the opportunity to obtain the higher yields often available from money market
investments made in large denominations.
 
For further information about the types of investments and investment techniques
available to the Fund, including the associated investment risks, see Exhibit A
to this Prospectus.

                            INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The Fund has adopted the following fundamental investment restrictions which may
not be changed without a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities
of the Fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. These
restrictions and certain other fundamental restrictions are set forth in the
SAI. Unless otherwise stated, all references to the Fund's assets are in terms
of current market value.
 
   
The Fund's fundamental policies permit it to invest up to 100% of its assets in
securities issued or guaranteed by the United States government, its agencies or
instrumentalities. The Fund will not: (1) invest more than 5% of its assets in
the securities of any one issuer, other than securities issued or guaranteed by
the United States Government. However, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its
total assets in first tier securities, as defined in Rule 2a-7, of a single
issuer for a period of up to three business days after the purchase thereof; (2)
borrow money, except that the Fund may borrow money from banks for temporary or
emergency purposes in amounts of up to one-third of its assets, including the
amount borrowed, and such borrowings will be repaid before additional
investments are made; (3) pledge more than 15% of its assets to secure
borrowings; and (4) invest more than 10% of its assets in repurchase agreements
maturing in more than seven days and securities for which market quotations are
not readily available.
    
 
                                  RISK FACTORS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Because interest rates on money market instruments fluctuate in response to
economic factors, the rates on short-term investments made by the Fund and the
daily dividend paid to shareholders will vary, rising or falling with short-term
rates generally. Yields from short-term securities may be lower than yields from
longer-term securities. Also, the value of the Fund's securities will fluctuate
inversely with interest rates, the amount of outstanding debt and other factors.
In addition, the Fund's investments in certificates of deposit issued by U.S.
branches of foreign banks and foreign branches of U.S. banks involve somewhat
more risk, but also more potential reward, than investments in comparable
domestic obligations.
 
There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective
since there is uncertainty in every investment.
 
                               BOARD OF TRUSTEES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Under Massachusetts law, the Fund's Board of Trustees has absolute and exclusive
control over the management and disposition of all assets of the Fund. Subject
to the provisions of the Declaration of Trust, the business and affairs of the
Fund shall be managed by the Trustees of other parties so designated by the
Trustees. Information relating to the Board of Trustees, including its members
and their compensation, is contained in the SAI.
 
                               INVESTMENT ADVISER
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Travelers Asset Management International Corporation (TAMIC) provides investment
advice and, in general, supervises the management and investment program of the
Fund.
 
TAMIC is a registered investment adviser which has provided investment advisory
services since its incorporation in 1978. Under its Advisory Agreement with the
Fund, TAMIC is paid an amount equivalent on an annual basis to 0.3233% of the
average daily net assets of the Fund. The fee is computed daily and paid weekly.
TAMIC is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers Group
 
                                      MM-5
<PAGE>   9
 
Inc., a financial services holding company, and its principal offices are
located at One Tower Square, Hartford, Connecticut 06183.
 
In addition to providing investment advice to the Fund, TAMIC acts as investment
adviser for other investment companies which fund variable contracts issued by
the Company. TAMIC also provides investment advice to individual and pooled
pension and profit-sharing accounts, domestic insurance companies affiliated
with The Travelers and nonaffiliated insurance companies.
 
PORTFOLIO MANAGER
 
   
The Money Market Portfolio has been managed by Emil J. Molinaro, Jr. since March
1995. Mr. Molinaro joined an affiliate of The Travelers Insurance Company in
1980 and is a Vice President of The Travelers Insurance Company's Securities
Department. For the past six years he has managed short term investment
portfolios backing various insurance company products and is currently
responsible for managing the Travelers Money Market Pool.
    
 
   
FUND ADMINISTRATION
    
 
The Fund has entered into an Administrative Service Agreement, whereby Travelers
Insurance will be responsible for the pricing and bookkeeping services for the
Fund at an annualized rate of 0.06% of the daily net assets of the Fund. The
Travelers Insurance Company, at its expense, may appoint a sub-administrator to
perform these services. The sub-administrator may be affiliated with The
Travelers Insurance Company.
 
                            SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Under policies established by the Board of Trustees, TAMIC selects
broker-dealers to execute transactions for the Fund, subject to the receipt of
best execution. When selecting broker-dealers to execute portfolio transactions
for the Fund, TAMIC may consider the number of shares of the Fund sold by such
broker-dealers. In addition, broker-dealers may from time to time be affiliated
with the Fund, TAMIC or their affiliates. The Fund will not trade in securities
for short-term profits but, when circumstances warrant, securities may be sold
without regard to the length of time held.
 
                                 FUND EXPENSES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
In addition to the investment advisory fees discussed above, other expenses of
the Fund include the charges and expenses of the transfer agent, the custodian,
the independent auditors, and any outside legal counsel employed by either the
Fund or the Board of Trustees; the compensation for the disinterested members of
the Board of Trustees; the costs of printing and mailing the Fund's
prospectuses, proxy solicitation materials, and annual, semiannual and periodic
reports; brokerage commissions, interest charges and taxes; and any
registration, filing and other fees payable to government agencies in connection
with the registration of the Fund and its shares under federal and state
securities laws.
 
   
Pursuant to a Management Agreement dated May 1, 1993 between the Fund and The
Travelers Insurance Company, the Company has agreed to reimburse the Fund for
the amount by which the Fund's aggregate annual expenses, including investment
advisory fees but excluding brokerage commissions, interest charges and taxes,
exceed 1.25% of the Fund's average net assets for any fiscal year. For the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, there was no expense reimbursement.

                                 TRANSFER AGENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
First Data Investor Services Group, Inc., Exchange Place, Boston, MA, 02109,
serves as the Fund's transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent.
 
                               SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Shares of the Fund are currently sold only to insurance company separate
accounts in connection with variable annuity and variable life insurance
contracts issued by the Company. Shares are not sold to the general public. Fund
shares are sold on a continuing basis, without a sales charge, at the net asset
value next computed after payment is made by the insurance company to the Fund's
custodian. However, separate accounts to which shares are sold may impose sales
and other charges, as described in the appropriate contract prospectus.
 
The Fund currently issues one class of shares which participates equally in
dividends and distributions and have equal voting, liquidation and other rights.
When issued and paid for, the shares will be fully paid and nonassessable by the
Fund and will have no preference, conversion, exchange or preemptive rights.
 
Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each full share owned and fractional
votes for fractional shares. Shares are redeemable, transferable and freely
assignable as collateral. There are no sinking fund provisions. (See the
accompanying separate account prospectus for a discussion of voting rights
applicable to purchasers of variable life insurance contracts.)
 
In the event that the Fund serves as an investment vehicle for both variable
annuity and variable life insurance contracts, an irreconcilable material
conflict may conceivably arise between contract owners of different separate
accounts investing in the Fund due to differences in tax treatment, management
of the Fund's investments, or other considerations. The Fund's Board of Trustees
will monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts between variable
annuity contract owners and variable life insurance policy owners, and will
determine what action, if any, should be taken in the event of such a conflict.
 
                                NET ASSET VALUE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   
The net asset value of a Fund share, which is expected to remain constant at
$1.00, is computed as of the close of trading on each day on which the New York
Stock Exchange ("Exchange") is open. The net asset value per share is arrived at
by determining the value of the Fund's assets, subtracting its liabilities, and
dividing the result by the number of shares outstanding.
    
 
The Fund values short-term money market instruments with maturities of sixty
days or less at amortized cost (original purchase cost as adjusted for
amortization of premium or accretion of discount) which when combined with
accrued interest approximates market. All other investments are valued at market
value or, where market quotations are not readily available, at fair value as
determined in good faith by the Fund's Board of Trustees.
 
Fund shares are redeemed at the net asset value per share, normally $1.00, next
determined after the Fund receives a redemption request. The Fund computes the
net asset value at the close of the Exchange at the end of the day on which it
has received all documentation from the shareholder. Redemption proceeds are
normally wired or mailed either the same or the next business day, but in no
event later than seven days thereafter.
 
The Fund may temporarily suspend the right to redeem its shares when: (1) the
Exchange is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings; (2)
trading on the Exchange is restricted; (3) an emergency exists as determined by
the SEC so that disposal of the Fund's investments or determina-
 
                                      MM-7
<PAGE>   11
 
tion of its net asset value is not reasonably practicable; or (4) the SEC, for
the protection of shareholders, so orders.
 
                                   TAX STATUS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The Fund has qualified and intends to qualify in the future as a regulated
investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The Fund
qualifies if, among other things, it distributes to its shareholders at least
90% of its net investment income for each fiscal year.
 
                          DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Capital gains and dividends are distributed in cash or reinvested in additional
shares of the Fund, without a sales charge. Although purchasers of variable
insurance contracts are not subject to federal income taxes on distributions by
the Fund they may be subject to state and local taxes and should review the
accompanying contract prospectus for a discussion of the tax treatment
applicable to purchasers of variable life insurance contracts.
 
                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
There are no pending material legal proceedings affecting the Fund.
 
   
                              YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
    
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   
Generally, computer programs were designed without considering the impact of the
upcoming change in the century. As a result, software and computer systems may
need to be upgraded or replaced in order to comply with "Year 2000"
requirements. If not corrected, these computer applications could fail or create
erroneous results by or at the Year 2000. The business, financial condition, and
result of operations of a company; investment advisor; separate account and/or a
mutual fund could be materially and adversely affected by the failure of its
systems and applications (or those either provided or operated by third-parties)
to properly operate or manage dates beyond the year 1999.
    
 
   
Travelers Life and Annuity and its affiliates have investigated the nature and
extent of the work required for computer systems to process beyond the turn of
the century, and have made progress toward achieving this goal, including
upgrading and/or replacing existing systems. We are confirming with our service
providers that they are also in the process of replacing or modifying their
systems with the same goal. We expect that our principal systems will be Year
2000 compliant by early 1999. While these efforts involve substantial costs, we
closely monitor associated costs and continue to evaluate associated risks based
on actual expenses. While it is likely that these efforts will be successful, if
necessary modifications and conversions are not completed in a timely manner,
the Year 2000 requirements could have a material adverse effect on certain
operations of the Fund.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                  DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN TYPES OF INVESTMENTS
                AND INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES AVAILABLE TO THE FUND
 
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT SECURITIES
 
Securities issued or guaranteed by the United States Government include a
variety of Treasury securities that differ only in their interest rates,
maturities and dates of issuance. Treasury bills have maturities of one year or
less; Treasury notes have maturities of one to ten years; and Treasury bonds
generally have maturities of greater than ten years at the date of issuance.
 
Securities issued or guaranteed by the United States Government or its agencies
or instrumentalities include direct obligations of the United States Treasury
and securities issued or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration,
Farmers Home Administration, Export-Import Bank of the United States, Small
Business Administration, Government National Mortgage Association, General
Services Administration, Central Bank for Cooperatives, Federal Home Loan Banks,
Federal Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, Federal
Land Banks, Maritime Administration, The Tennessee Valley Authority, District of
Columbia Armory Board, Student Loan Marketing Association and Federal National
Mortgage Association.
 
Some obligations of United States Government agencies and instrumentalities,
such as Treasury bills and Government National Mortgage Association pass-through
certificates, are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States;
others, such as securities of Federal Home Loan Banks, are supported by the
right of the issuer to borrow from the Treasury; still others, such as bonds
issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association, a private corporation, are
supported only by the credit of the instrumentality. Because the United States
Government is not obligated by law to provide support to an instrumentality it
sponsors, the Fund will invest in the securities issued by such an
instrumentality only when the adviser determines that the credit risk with
respect to the instrumentality does not make its securities unsuitable
investments. United States Government securities will not include international
agencies or instrumentalities in which the United States Government, its
agencies or instrumentalities participate, such as the World Bank, the Asian
Development Bank or the Inter-American Development Bank, or issues insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
 
CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT
 
Certificates of deposit are receipts issued by a bank in exchange for the
deposit of funds. The issuer agrees to pay the amount deposited plus interest to
the bearer of the receipt on the date specified on the certificate. The
certificate usually can be traded in the secondary market prior to maturity.
 
Certificates of deposit will be limited to U.S. dollar-denominated certificates
of United States banks which have at least $1 billion in deposits as of the date
of their most recently published financial statements (including foreign
branches of U.S. banks, U.S. branches of foreign banks which are members of the
Federal Reserve System or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and savings
and loan associations which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation).
 
The Fund will not acquire time deposits or obligations issued by the
International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Asian Development
Bank or the Inter-American Development Bank. Additionally, the Fund does not
currently intend to purchase such foreign securities (except to the extent that
certificates of deposit of foreign branches of U.S. banks may be deemed foreign
securities) or purchase certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances or other
similar obligations issued by foreign banks.
 
                                      MM-9
<PAGE>   13
 
OBLIGATIONS OF FOREIGN BRANCHES OF UNITED STATES BANKS
 
The obligations of foreign branches of United States banks may be general
obligations of the parent bank in addition to the issuing branch, or may be
limited by the terms of a specific obligation and by government regulation.
Payment of interest and principal upon these obligations may also be affected by
governmental action in the country of domicile of the branch (generally referred
to as sovereign risk). In addition, evidences of ownership of such securities
may be held outside the United States and the Fund may be subject to the risks
associated with the holding of such property overseas. Various provisions of
federal law governing domestic branches do not apply to foreign branches of
domestic banks.
 
OBLIGATIONS OF UNITED STATES BRANCHES OF FOREIGN BANKS
 
Obligations of United States branches of foreign banks may be general
obligations of the parent bank in addition to the issuing branch, or may be
limited by the terms of a specific obligation and by federal and state
regulation as well as by governmental action in the country in which the foreign
bank has its head office. In addition, there may be less publicly available
information about a United States branch of a foreign bank than about a domestic
bank.
 
   
COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS
    
 
The Fund's investments in commercial paper are limited to those rated A-1 by
Standard & Poor's Corporation (S&P) or Prime-1 by Moody's Investors Service,
Inc. (Moody's). Commercial paper rated A-1 by Standard & Poor's has the
following characteristics: liquidity ratios are adequate to meet cash
requirements. The issuer's long-term senior debt is rated "A" or better,
although in some cases "BBB" credits may be allowed. The issuer has access to at
least two additional channels of borrowing. Basic earnings and cash flow have an
upward trend with allowance made for unusual circumstances. Typically, the
issuer's industry is well established and the issuer has a strong position
within the industry.
 
The rating Prime-1 is the highest commercial paper rating assigned by Moody's.
Among the factors considered by Moody's in assigning ratings are the following:
(1) evaluation of the management of the issuer; (2) economic evaluation of the
issuer's industry or industries and an appraisal of speculative-type risks which
may be inherent in certain areas; (3) evaluation of the issuer's products in
relation to competition and customer acceptance; (4) liquidity; (5) amount and
quality of long-term debt; (6) trend of earnings over a period of ten years; (7)
financial strength of a parent company and the relationships which exist with
the issuer; and (8) recognition by the management of obligations which may be
present or may arise as a result of public preparations to meet such
obligations. Relative strength or weakness of the above factors determines how
the issuer's commercial paper is rated within various categories.
 
MASTER DEMAND NOTES
 
Master demand notes are unsecured obligations that permit the investment of
fluctuating amounts by the Fund at varying rates of interest pursuant to direct
arrangements between the Fund as lender and the issuer as borrower. The Fund has
the right to increase the amount under the note at any time up to the full
amount provided by the note agreement, or to decrease the amount, and the
borrower may repay up to the full amount of the note without penalty. Notes
purchased by the Fund permit the Fund to demand payment of principal and accrued
interest at any time (on not more than seven days notice). Notes acquired by the
Fund may have maturities of more than one year, provided that (i) the Fund is
entitled to payment of principal and accrued interest upon not more than seven
days notice, and (ii) the rate of interest on such notes is adjusted
automatically at periodic intervals which normally will not exceed 31 days but
may extend up to one year. The notes will be deemed to have a maturity equal to
the longer of the period remaining to the next interest rate adjustment or the
demand notice period. Because these types of notes are direct lending
arrangements between the lender and the borrower, such instruments are not
normally traded and there is no secondary market
 
                                      MM-10
<PAGE>   14
 
for these notes, although they are redeemable and thus repayable by the borrower
at face value plus accrued interest at any time. Accordingly, the Fund's right
to redeem is dependent on the ability of the borrower to pay principal and
interest on demand. In connection with master demand notes, TAMIC considers,
under standards established by the Board of Trustees, earning power, cash flow
and other liquidity ratios of the borrower and will monitor the ability of the
borrower to pay principal and interest on demand. These notes are not typically
rated by credit rating agencies. Unless rated, the Fund will invest in them only
if the issuer meets the criteria established for commercial paper.
 
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
 
Interim cash balances may be invested from time to time in repurchase agreements
with approved counterparties. Approved counterparties are limited to national
banks or reporting broker-dealers meeting the investment adviser's credit
quality standards as presenting minimal risk of default. All repurchase
transactions must be collateralized by U.S. Government securities with market
value no less than 102% of the amount of the transaction, including accrued
interest. Repurchase transactions generally mature the next business day but, in
the event of a transaction of longer maturity, collateral will be marked to
market daily and, when required, additional cash or qualifying collateral will
be required from the counterparty.
 
In executing a repurchase agreement, the Fund purchases eligible securities
subject to the seller's simultaneous agreement to repurchase them on a mutually
agreed upon date and at a mutually agreed upon price. The purchase and resale
prices are negotiated with the counterparty on the basis of current short-term
interest rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the securities
collateralizing the transaction. Physical delivery or, in the case of
"book-entry" securities, segregation in the counterparty's account at the
Federal Reserve for the benefit of the Fund is required to establish a perfected
claim to the collateral for the term of the agreement in the event the
counterparty fails to fulfill its obligation.
 
As the securities collateralizing a repurchase transaction are generally of
longer maturity than the term of the transaction, in the event of default by the
counterparty on its obligation, the Fund would bear the risks of delay, adverse
market fluctuation and transaction costs in disposing of the collateral.
 
BANKERS' ACCEPTANCES
 
Bankers' acceptances typically arise from short-term credit arrangements
designed to enable businesses to obtain funds to finance commercial
transactions. Generally, an acceptance is a time draft drawn on a bank by an
exporter or an importer to obtain a stated amount of funds to pay for specific
merchandise. The draft is then "accepted" by the bank which, in effect,
unconditionally guarantees to pay the face value of the instrument on its
maturity date. The acceptance may then be held by the accepting bank as an
earning asset or it may be sold in the secondary market at the going rate of
discount for a specific maturity. Although maturities for acceptances can be as
long as 270 days, most acceptances have maturities of six months or less.
Bankers' acceptances acquired by the Fund must have been accepted by U.S.
commercial banks, including foreign branches of U.S. commercial banks, having
total deposits at the time of purchase in excess of $1 billion, and must be
payable in U.S. dollars.

                        INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES

      The investment objective of the Money Market Portfolio (the "Fund")
(formerly Cash Income Trust) is to provide the highest possible current income
from short-term money market instruments while emphasizing preservation of
capital and maintaining a high degree of liquidity. The Fund pursues this
objective by investing in short-term money market securities maturing in one
year or less which are deemed to present minimal credit risks.

                             INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

      None of the restrictions enumerated in this paragraph may be changed
without a vote of the holders of a majority of the Fund's outstanding shares,
as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").  The Fund
will not:

      (1)  purchase any security which has a maturity date more than one year
           from the date of the Fund's purchase;

      (2)  invest more than 25% of its assets in the securities of issuers in
           any single industry, exclusive of securities issued by banks or
           securities issued or guaranteed by the United States Government, its
           agencies or instrumentalities;

      (3)  invest more than 5% of its assets in the securities of any one
           issuer, other than securities issued or guaranteed by the United
           States Government. However, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its
           total assets in first tier securities, as defined in Rule 2a-7, of a
           single issuer for a period of up to three business days after the
           purchase thereof.

           maturation and sale of portfolio securities during any periods of
           abnormally heavy redemption requests, if they should occur; such
           borrowings may not be used to purchase investments and the Fund will
           not purchase any investments while any such borrowings exist;

      (6)  pledge, hypothecate or in any manner transfer, as security for

      (7)  make loans, provided that the Fund may purchase money market

      (12) purchase any securities on margin;

      (13) make short sales of securities or maintain a short position or write,
           purchase or sell puts, calls, straddles, spreads or combinations
           thereof;

           instrumentalities of the United States Government, having a record,
           together with predecessors, of less than three years of continuous
           operation if more than 5% of the Fund's assets would be invested in
           such securities;

      (15) purchase or retain securities of any issuer if those officers,
           Trustees or Directors of the Fund or TAMIC who own individually more
           than 0.5% of the outstanding securities of such issuer together own
           more than 5% of the securities of such issuer; or

      (16) act as an underwriter of securities.


                             VALUATION OF SECURITIES

      Current value for the Fund's portfolio securities is determined as
follows: Securities traded on national securities markets are valued at the
closing prices on such markets; securities for which no sales prices were
reported and U.S. Government and Agency obligations are valued at the mean
between the last reported bid and ask prices or on the basis of quotations
received from reputable brokers or other recognized sources; securities maturing
within 60 days are valued at cost plus accreted discount and, or minus amortized
premium, which approximates market value; and securities that have a maturity of
60 days or more are valued at prices based on market quotations for securities
of similar type, yield and maturity.

                                  DISTRIBUTIONS

      All net income of the Fund is determined as of the close of trading on the
New York Stock Exchange, currently 4:00 p.m., on each day that the Exchange is
open for trading, and at such other times as the Trustees may determine, and
credited immediately thereafter to each shareholder's account. Net income will
consist of (1) all accrued interest income on Fund portfolio assets, (2) plus or
minus all realized and unrealized gains or losses on Fund portfolio assets, and
(3) less the Fund's estimated expenses, including accrued expenses and fees
payable to TAMIC applicable to that dividend period. Net income is distributed
as dividends as of the close of business each calendar month either in cash or
in the form of additional shares. Dividends are reinvested in full and
fractional shares at the rate of one share for each one dollar distributed.

      Since the net income of the Fund is declared as a dividend each time net
income is determined, the net asset value per share remains at $1.00 per share
immediately after each dividend declaration. The Fund expects to have net income
at the time of each dividend determination. If for any reason there is a net
loss, the Fund will first offset such amount pro rata against dividends accrued
during the month in each shareholder account. To the extent that such a net loss
would exceed such accrued dividends, the Fund will reduce the number of its
outstanding shares by having each shareholder contribute to the Fund's capital
the pro rata portion of the total number of shares required to be canceled in
order to maintain a net asset value per share of the Fund at a constant value of
$1.00. Each shareholder will be deemed to have agreed to such a contribution
under these circumstances by investment in the Fund.

                              DECLARATION OF TRUST

      The Fund is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Pursuant to
certain decisions of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, shareholders
of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable as
partners for the obligations of the trust. However, even if the Fund were held
to be a partnership, the possibility of its shareholders incurring financial
loss for that reason appears remote because the Fund's Declaration of Trust
contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for obligations of the
Fund and requires that notice of such disclaimer be given in each agreement,
obligation or instrument entered into or executed by the Fund or the Trustees,
and because the Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of Fund
property for any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the
Fund.

      The Declaration of Trust provides that a Trustee shall be liable only for
his own willful defaults and, if reasonable care has been exercised in the
selection of officers, agents, employees or investment advisers, a Trustee shall
not be liable for the neglect or wrongdoing of any such person; provided,
however, that nothing in the Declaration of Trust shall protect a Trustee
against any liability for his willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence
or the reckless disregard of his duties.

      Shareholders first elected Trustees at a meeting held on April 30, 1985,
and most recently elected Trustees on April 27, 1998. No further meetings of
shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees will be held, unless required
by law, and unless and until such time as less than a majority of the Trustees
holding office have been elected by shareholders, at which time the Trustees
then in office will call a shareholders' meeting for the election of Trustees.

      Except as set forth above, the Trustees shall continue to hold office,
unless required by law, and may appoint successor Trustees. Trustees may
voluntarily resign from office, or a Trustee may be removed from office (1) at
any time by two-thirds vote of the Trustees; (2) by a majority vote of Trustees
where any Trustee becomes mentally or physically incapacitated; and (3) either
by declaration in writing or at a meeting called for such purpose by the holders
of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares or other voting interests
of the Fund. The Trustees are required to call a meeting for the purpose of
considering the removal of a person serving as trustee, if requested in writing
to do so by the holders of not less than 10% of the outstanding shares or other
voting interests of the Fund. The Fund is required to assist in Shareholders'
communications. In accordance with current laws, insurance companies using the
Fund as an underlying investment option within their variable contract will
request voting instructions from contract owners participating in such
contracts, and will vote shares of the Fund in the same proportion as the voting
instructions received.

      Voting rights are not cumulative; therefore, the holders of more than 50%
of the shares voting on the election of Trustees can, if they choose to do so,
elect all of the Trustees of the Fund, in which event the holders of the
remaining shares will be unable to elect any person as a Trustee.

      No amendment may be made to the Declaration of Trust without a "vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund (as defined in the
1940 Act).


                               INVESTMENT ADVISER

      Travelers Asset Management International Corporation (TAMIC), an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers Group Inc., furnishes investment management
and advisory services to the Fund in accordance with the terms of an Investment
Advisory Agreement which was approved by shareholders on April 23, 1993.



                                       5

<PAGE>   23

      As required by the 1940 Act, the Advisory Agreement will continue in
effect for a period more than two years from the date of its execution only so
long as its continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) by a vote
of a majority of the Board of Trustees, or (ii) by a vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Fund. In addition, and in either event, the
terms of the Advisory Agreement must be approved annually by a vote of a
majority of the Board of Trustees who are not parties to, or interested persons
of any party to, the Advisory Agreement, cast in person at a meeting called for
the purpose of voting on such approval and at which the Board of Trustees is
furnished such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms
of the Advisory Agreement. The Advisory Agreement further provides that it will
terminate automatically upon assignment; may be amended only with prior approval
of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund; may be
terminated without the payment of any penalty at any time upon sixty days'
notice by the Board of Trustees or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Fund; and may not be terminated by TAMIC without prior
approval of a new investment advisory agreement by a vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

      Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, TAMIC shall:

      (1)  obtain and evaluate pertinent economic, statistical and financial
           data and other information relevant to the investment policy of the
           Fund, affecting the economy generally and individual companies or
           industries, the securities of which are included in the Fund's
           portfolio or are under consideration for inclusion therein;

      (2)  be authorized to purchase supplemental research and other services
           from brokers at an additional cost to the Fund;

      (3)  regularly furnish recommendations to the Board of Trustees with
           respect to an investment program for approval, modification or
           rejection by the Board of Trustees;

      (4)  take such steps as are necessary to implement the investment program
           approved by the Board of Trustees; and

      (5)  regularly report to the Board of Trustees with respect to
           implementation of the approved investment program and any other
           activities in connection with the administration of the assets of the
           Fund.

ADVISORY FEES

   
      For furnishing investment management and advisory services to the Fund,
TAMIC is paid an amount equivalent on an annual basis to 0.3233% of the average
daily net assets of the Fund. The fee is computed daily and paid weekly. For the
three years ended December 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997 the advisory fees were
$4,034, $19,000 and $19,634, respectively.
    


                               REDEMPTIONS IN KIND

If conditions arise that would make it undesirable for the Fund to pay for all
redemptions in cash, the Fund may authorize payment to be made in portfolio
securities or other property.

      However, the Fund has obligated itself under the 1940 Act to redeem for
cash all shares presented for redemption by any one shareholder up to $250,000,
or 1% of the Fund's net assets if that is less, in any 90-day period. Securities
delivered in payment of redemptions would be valued at the same value assigned
to them in computing the net asset value per share. Shareholders receiving such
securities would incur brokerage costs when these securities are sold.



                                       6

<PAGE>   24


                                    BROKERAGE

      Subject to the general supervision of the Board of Trustees, TAMIC shall
be responsible for the investment decisions and the placement of orders for
portfolio transactions of the Fund. The Fund's portfolio transactions occur
primarily with issuers, underwriters or major dealers in money market
instruments acting as principals. Such transactions will normally be on a net
basis which will not involve payment of brokerage commissions. The cost of
securities purchased from an underwriter usually will include a commission paid
by the issuer to the underwriter; transactions with dealers normally will
reflect the spread between the bid and asked prices.

      TAMIC will seek to obtain the best net price and most favorable execution
of orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities.

                               FUND ADMINISTRATION
   
      The Fund entered into an Administrative Services Agreement during 1996
with The Travelers Insurance Company to provide pricing and bookkeeping services

Item 27.  Indemnification

Provisions for the indemnification of the Fund's Trustees and officers are
contained in the Fund's Declaration of Trust which was filed with Post-Effective
Amendment No. 23 to this Registration Statement as Exhibit 1 on April 11, 1996.


Rule 484 Undertaking

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such 


<PAGE>   28

indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
