SUB-ITEM 77Q1

(e)    Investment Advisory Agreement between Founders Funds, Inc.
       and Founders Asset Management LLC dated April 1, 1998.
       Filed herein as Exhibit 99.77Q1.



On February 17, 1998, a special  meeting of the  shareholders of Founders Funds,
Inc.  (the "Funds") was held at which the  shareholders  of each Fund approved a
new investment  advisory  agreement  between  Founders Funds,  Inc. and Founders
Asset  Management  LLC (the  "Advisor").  The need to  approve a new  investment
advisory  contract was caused by the change in control of the Advisor  resulting
from the  acquisition  of the  Advisor by Mellon  Bank,  N.A. In  addition,  the
shareholders  elected seven directors of the Funds. The following is a report on
the votes cast:

     Following the special meeting of  shareholders,  Mr. Zeschin  resigned as a
director of the Funds,  and Messrs.  Robert P. Mastrovita and George W. Phillips
were elected as directors of the Funds.

During the six  months  ended June 30,  1998,  certain of the Funds'  investment
policies were changed as set forth below:

Founders Special Fund
Effective April 7, 1998

     Special  Fund's  investment  policies  were  changed to state that the Fund
     normally  invests at least 65% of its total assets in equity  securities of
     domestic and foreign  issuers which the adviser  characterizes  as "growth"
     companies.  The  adviser  generally  will  select  securities  for the Fund
     without regard to an issuer's market capitalization. The Fund may invest up
     to 30% of its total assets in foreign securities,  with no more than 25% of
     its total assets invested in the securities of any one foreign country.

All of the Funds except Money Market Fund
Effective July 7, 1998

     The following was added to the Funds' investment policies:

     All of the  Funds  with the  exception  of the Money  Market  Fund also may
     purchase U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered  Interest and
     Principal of Securities). STRIPS essentially are zero-coupon bonds that are
     direct  obligations of the U.S.  Treasury.  These bonds do not make regular
     interest payments; rather, they are sold at a discount from face value, and
     principal and accrued interest are paid at maturity.  STRIPS may experience
     greater  fluctuations  in market value due to changes in interest rates and
     other factors than debt securities that make regular interest  payments.  A
     Fund will accrue  income on STRIPS for tax and  accounting  purposes  which
     must be distributed to Fund shareholders even though no cash is received at
     the time of accrual. Therefore, the Fund may be required to liquidate other
     portfolio securities in order to meet the Fund's distribution obligations.

Money Market Fund
Effective July 7, 1998

     The Fund's policy with  respect to commercial paper investments was revised
     to read as follows:

     Commercial  paper  purchased  by Money Market Fund must be rated by any two
     nationally recognized statistical rating organizations  (NRSROs), or by the
     only  NRSRO  that  has  rated  the  security,  in one of  the  two  highest
     short-term rating categories, or be comparable unrated securities. However,
     the Fund may not  invest  more  than 5% of its total  assets in  securities
     rated in the second  highest  rating  category.  For a list of NRSROs and a
     description of their ratings, see the Statement of Additional Information.

Effective May 1, 1998

     The maximum remaining maturity of the  securities that can  be purchased by
     Money Market Fund was increased from 12 months to 397 days.


                         INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

        This  Investment  Advisory  Agreement  is executed as of this 1st day of
April,  1998,  between  FOUNDERS  FUNDS,  INC.,  a  Maryland   corporation  (the
"Company")  on behalf of each of its series  Funds  listed on Appendix 1 to this
Agreement,  which  Appendix  1 is  incorporated  into  this  Agreement  by  this
reference (as to each series, the "Fund"),  and FOUNDERS ASSET MANAGEMENT LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (the "Adviser").

        WHEREAS,  the Company has been  organized  and operates as an investment
company  registered under the Investment  Company Act of 1940 for the purpose of
investing and reinvesting its assets in securities, as set forth in its Articles
of  Incorporation,  its  By-Laws  and  its  Registration  Statements  under  the
Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Securities Act of 1933, all as heretofore
amended and from time to time further amended and supplemented;  and the Company
on behalf of each Fund  desires to avail  itself of the  services,  information,
advice,  assistance  and  facilities  of an  investment  adviser  and to have an
investment  adviser perform for it various  management,  statistical,  research,
investment advisory and other services; and,

        WHEREAS, the Adviser is engaged in the business of rendering management,
investment advisory, counseling and supervisory services to investment companies
and desires to provide these services to the Company.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth, it is agreed as follows:

        1. EMPLOYMENT OF THE ADVISER.  The Company hereby employs the Adviser to
manage  the  investment  and  reinvestment  of the  assets  of each  Fund and to
administer  its affairs,  consistent  with the Fund's  objectives,  policies and
restrictions,  and subject to the overall  supervision of the Board of Directors
of the  Company,  for the period  and on the terms  hereinafter  set forth.  The
Adviser hereby  accepts such  employment and agrees during such period to render
the services and to assume the obligations herein set forth for the compensation
herein  provided.  The Adviser shall for all purposes  herein be deemed to be an
independent  contractor  and shall,  except as expressly  provided or authorized
(whether  herein or  otherwise),  have no authority to act for or represent  the
Company or any Fund in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Company or
any Fund.

        2. OBLIGATIONS OF AND SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY THE ADVISER.  In return
for the compensation  described in paragraph 4 hereof, the Adviser undertakes to
provide the following services and to assume the following obligations:

                A.  OFFICE  SPACE,   FURNISHINGS,   FACILITIES,   EQUIPMENT  AND
PERSONNEL. The Adviser shall furnish to the Company adequate office space, which

<PAGE>

may be space  within the office of the  Adviser or in such other place as may be
agreed  upon from time to time.  The Adviser  also shall  furnish to the Company
office furnishings,  facilities and equipment,  including computer equipment and
programs,  as may be reasonably  required for managing the corporate affairs and
conducting the business of the Company, including ordinary clerical, bookkeeping
and administrative  services,  and maintenance of each Fund's books and records.
The Adviser shall employ or provide and compensate  the  executive,  secretarial
and clerical  personnel  necessary to provide such  services.  The Adviser shall
also  compensate  all officers and  employees of the Company and, in addition to
the  services  described  in  subparagraph  D of this  paragraph,  shall  permit
officers  and  employees of the Adviser to serve as directors or officers of the
Company, without compensation from the Company, if elected to such positions.

                B.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES AND BROKERAGE ALLOCATION.

                        (1) The Adviser shall recommend from time to time to the
officers  and  directors of the Company a course of  investment  for each Fund's
assets  and  portfolio,  subject  to  and  in  accordance  with  the  investment
objectives and policies of the Fund and any directions which the Company's Board
of Directors  may issue from time to time.  The Adviser's  recommendations  also
shall  include  the  manner in which the  voting  rights,  rights to  consent to
corporate  action  and any  other  rights  pertaining  to the  Fund's  portfolio
securities  shall  be  exercised.  Subject  to  such  objectives,  policies  and
directions  and subject to the overall  supervision of the Board of Directors of
the Company,  the Adviser shall manage the  investment and  reinvestment  of the
assets of each Fund.  The  Adviser  shall  render  such  reports to the  Company
concerning the investment of each Fund's assets and portfolio as may be required
by the Board of Directors of the Company.

                        (2)   Decisions with respect to placement of each Fund's
portfolio  transactions shall be made by the Adviser. The primary  consideration
in making these  decisions  shall be to seek the best execution of orders at the
most favorable net prices for the Fund,  taking into account such factors as the
size of the order,  difficulty  of  execution,  and the  reliability,  financial
condition and capabilities of the broker or dealer. Subject to these objectives,
business may be placed with brokers and dealers who furnish investment  research
services to the Adviser or to affiliates of the Adviser.  Such research services
include advice, both directly and in writing, as to the value of securities, the
advisability  of  investing  in,  purchasing  or  selling  securities,  and  the
availability of securities,  or purchasers or sellers of securities,  as well as
the  furnishing  of  analyses  and  reports  concerning   issuers,   industries,
securities, economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy, and the performance
of accounts.  Such services  allow the Adviser and its  affiliates to supplement
their own investment  research activities and provide them with information from
individuals  and  research  staffs  of  many  securities   firms.   The  Company

<PAGE>

acknowledges  on behalf of each Fund that to the extent  portfolio  transactions
are  effected  with  brokers or dealers  who  furnish  research  services to the
Adviser or its  affiliates,  they  receive a  benefit,  which  generally  is not
capable of evaluation in dollar  amounts,  which is not passed on to the Fund in
the form of a direct monetary benefit.

                        (3)  The  Adviser  shall  render  such reports regarding
allocation of brokerage business as may be required by the Board of Directors of
the Company.

                C.  PROVISION  OF  INFORMATION   NECESSARY  FOR  PREPARATION  OF
SECURITIES REGISTRATION STATEMENTS,  AMENDMENTS AND OTHER MATERIALS. The Adviser
shall make available and provide accounting and statistical information required
by the Company and its principal  underwriter in the preparation of registration
statements, reports and other documents required by federal and state securities
laws and such  information  as the  principal  underwriter  of the  Company  may
reasonably  request,  for use in the  preparation  of such documents or of other
materials  necessary or helpful for the  underwriting  and  distribution of each
Fund's shares.

                D. OTHER  OBLIGATIONS  AND SERVICES.  The Adviser shall keep its
qualifications,  facilities  and staff fully  adequate  for  performance  of its
duties  hereunder,  and will  perform  such duties in good faith and in the best
interests of the Fund. The Adviser shall comply in all respects with  applicable
statutory and regulatory  provisions,  including the  Investment  Company Act of
1940 and the  Investment  Advisers Act of 1940. The Adviser shall make available
its officers and employees to the Board of Directors and officers of the Company
for consultation and discussions regarding the administrative management of each
Fund and its investment activities.

        3. EXPENSES OF EACH FUND.  It is understood  that each Fund will pay all
of its expenses other than those expressly assumed by the Adviser herein,  which
expenses payable by the Fund shall include:

                A.   Fees to the Adviser as provided herein;

                B.   Expenses of all audits by independent public accountants;

(including typesetting) and distribution of reports, notices and prospectuses to
existing shareholders of the Company;

                P.   Expenses of  computing the Fund's daily per share net asset
value; and

                Q.   The allocated  portion of  expenses incurred by the Company
in connection with  litigation  proceedings or claims,  including any obligation

thereto.

<PAGE>

        4. COMPENSATION OF THE ADVISER. As compensation for its services to each
Fund, the Adviser will be paid a monthly management fee by the Fund at an annual
rate  equal to the  percentages  of the  average  daily  value of the Fund's net
assets  described  as to each Fund on  Appendix 1 to this  Agreement,  with each
Fund's net assets  determined in accordance  with provisions of the then current
prospectus  of the Fund.  All fees and expenses  are accrued  daily and deducted
before  payment of dividends  to  shareholders.  The fee is payable  monthly and
shall be  prorated  for any  portion  of a month  beginning  on the date of this
Agreement or ending on termination of this Agreement.

        5. EXPENSE LIMITATION. In the event the total expenses of a Fund for any
fiscal year, including the advisory fee but excluding interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions  and  extraordinary  expenses,  should exceed the lowest  applicable
annual expense limitation established pursuant to the statutes or regulations of
any  jurisdiction  in which shares of the Fund are then  qualified  for offer or
sale,  the Adviser shall  reimburse the Fund for the full amount of such excess.
Such  reimbursement  shall be made by the  Adviser  monthly,  subject  to annual
reconciliation.

        6.  ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISER.  Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or
restrict the right of any  director,  officer or employee of the Adviser who may
also be a  director,  officer or  employee of the Company to engage in any other
business or to devote his time and attention in part to the  management or other
aspects of any  business,  whether of a similar or a dissimilar  nature,  nor to
limit or restrict the right of the Adviser to engage in any other business or to
render  services  of any kind to any  other  corporation,  firm,  individual  or
association. Subject to and in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and
By-Laws of the Company  and to Section  10(a) of the  Investment  Company Act of
1940, it is understood that directors,  officers, agents and shareholders of the
Company are or may be interested in the Adviser or its  affiliates as directors,
officers,  agents or  shareholders  of the  Adviser or its  affiliates  and that
directors, officers, agents or shareholders of the Adviser or its affiliates are
or may be  interested  in the Company as directors,  officers,  shareholders  or
otherwise,  and that the effect of any such interests  shall be governed by said
Articles of Incorporation, said ByLaws and the Act.

        7. LIABILITIES. In the absence of willful misfeasance,  bad faith, gross
negligence, or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part
of the Adviser,  the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Company or
to any Fund  hereunder  for any act or omission  in the course of, or  connected
with, rendering services hereunder.  No liability to the Adviser hereunder shall
attach individually to the shareholders, directors or officers of the Company.

        8. RENEWAL,  TERMINATION  AND  AMENDMENT.  This  Agreement  shall become
effective  upon the date first above written and shall continue in effect for an

<PAGE>

initial term ending May 31, 1999,  unless earlier  amended or  terminated.  This
Agreement is renewable  thereafter as to each Fund for successive periods not to
exceed one year if such  continuance  is approved at least  annually by votes of
the  Company's  Board of Directors,  cast in person at a meeting  called for the
purpose of voting on such approval,  or by a majority of the outstanding  voting
securities  of the Fund and in  either  event by the vote of a  majority  of the
directors who are not parties to the Agreement or interested persons of any such
party other than as directors of the Company.  In addition,  (i) this  Agreement
may at any time be  terminated as to any Fund without the payment of any penalty
either by vote of the Board of Directors of the Company or by vote of a majority
of the outstanding  voting securities of the Fund, on sixty days' written notice
to the Adviser;  (ii) this Agreement shall immediately terminate in the event of
its assignment  (within the meaning of the Investment  Company Act of 1940); and
(iii) this  Agreement  may be  terminated  by the Adviser on sixty days' written
notice to the Company. Any notice under this Agreement shall be given in writing
addressed and delivered, or mailed postpaid, to the other party at any office of
such party.  This  Agreement may be amended as to any Fund at any time by mutual
consent of the  parties,  provided  that such consent on the part of the Company
shall  have  been  approved  by vote of a  majority  of the  outstanding  voting
securities of the Fund. As used in this paragraph,  the term "vote of a majority
of the outstanding  voting securities" shall have the meaning set forth for such
term in Section 2(a)(42) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

        9.   NAME.  The  Company  and  each  Fund may use the word "Founders" in
their  names  and  businesses  only  so  long  as the Adviser acts as investment
adviser to the Fund.

        10.  SEVERABILITY.  If any  provision of this  Agreement is held or made
invalid by a court decision,  statute, rule or otherwise,  the remainder of this
Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

        11.  MISCELLANEOUS.  This Agreement  shall be subject to the laws of the
State of Colorado, and shall be interpreted and construed to further and promote
the operation of the Company as an open-end investment company.
