* The Annual Operating Expenses previously appearing in the
Summary of Expenses table for the Fund have been restated using
the fees and operating expenses that apply on and after
February 10, 1998. From the period January 26, 1996 through
February 9, 1998, the Manager elected voluntarily to waive that
portion, if any, of the annual management fees payable by the
Fund and to pay the Fund's expenses to the extent necessary to
ensure that the Total Operating Expenses (after voluntary
waiver and payments) of the Fund did not exceed 0.70%
(exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions,
extraordinary expenses and, in the case of the Consultant Class
Shares, 12b-1 fees).
** Consultant Class Shares are subject to a Rule 12b-1
distribution plan; however, the Board of Directors of the Fund
suspended 12b-1 plan payments from the Class effective June 1,
1990. See Distribution (12b-1) and Service under Management of
the Fund in the Prospectus.
The following example illustrates the expenses that an
investor would pay on a $1,000 investment over various time
periods, assuming (1) a 5% annual rate of return, and (2)
redemption at the end of each time period.
