INTRODUCTION
The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. is a mutual fund family that offers
different classes of shares in separate investment portfolios or Funds. This
prospectus relates to Class A, B and C shares of the Funds. The Funds have
individual objectives and strategies to offer investors a broad range of
investment alternatives.
Enterprise Capital Management, Inc. (the "Advisor") is the investment
advisor to each Fund. The Advisor selects a Fund Manager for each Fund's
portfolio on the basis of a number of criteria, including the Fund Manager's
reputation, resources and performance results.
Before investing in any mutual fund, you should consider the general risks
involved. The value of your investment in a Fund is based on the market prices
of the securities the Fund holds. These prices change due to economic and other
events that affect securities markets generally, as well as those that affect
particular companies, industry sectors or governments. These price movements,
sometimes called volatility, will vary depending on the types of securities a
Fund owns and the markets in which these securities trade. In addition, the
investments made by a Fund may underperform the market generally or other mutual
funds with a similar investment objective of that Fund. As with other
investments, you could lose money on your investment in a Fund. Your investment
in a Fund is not a bank deposit. It is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or
any government agency. A Fund may not achieve its objective. A Fund's objective
may not be changed without shareholder approval.

ENTERPRISE GROWTH FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective Capital appreciation
Principal Investments U.S. common stocks of large
capitalization companies
Fund Manager Montag & Caldwell, Inc.
Who May Want To Invest Investors who want the value of
their investment to grow but do not need to receive income
on their investment.
Investment Strategies The Growth Fund invests primarily in
U.S. common stocks. The "Growth at a Reasonable Price"
strategy employed by the Fund combines growth and value
style investing. This means that the Fund invests in the
stocks of companies with long-term earnings potential but
which are currently selling at a discount to their
estimated long term value. The Fund's equity selection
process is generally lower risk than a typical growth stock
approach. Valuation is the key selection criterion which
makes the investment style risk averse. Also emphasized are growth
characteristics to identify companies whose shares are attractively priced and
may experience strong earnings growth relative to other companies.
Principal Risks As a result of investing primarily in U.S. common stocks, the
Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended
periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising
prices and periods of falling prices. This price volatility is the principal
risk of investing in the Fund.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The bar chart below and the performance table on the next page illustrate the
volatility of an investment in the Fund and give some indication of the risk. Of
course, the Fund's past performance does not necessarily indicate how the Fund
will perform in the future. The performance of different classes of shares will
differ due to differences in expenses.
This bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Fund's Class A shares
from year to year. The bar chart does not reflect sales charges. If sales
charges had been reflected, returns would be less than those shown below.

(2) This sales charge is imposed if you redeem Class B shares within one year of
your purchase. A graduated reduced sales charge is imposed if you redeem
your shares within six years of purchase. Class B shares automatically
convert to Class A shares about eight years after you purchase them and will
be subject to lower expenses. See "Shareholder Account Information."
(3) This sales charge is imposed if you redeem Class C shares within one year of
your purchase. See "Shareholder Account Information."
(4) Class B or Class C shareholders who own their shares for an extended period
of time may pay more in Rule 12b-1 distribution fees than the economic
equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charge permitted under the Conduct
Rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers.
EXAMPLE
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund
with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you
invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The example also
assumes that each year your investment has a 5% return and Fund expenses remain
the same. Although your actual costs and returns may be different, your
approximate costs of investing $10,000 in the Fund would be:

ENTERPRISE GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective Total return through capital
appreciation with income as a secondary consideration
Principal Investments Broadly diversified group of U.S.
common stocks of large capitalization companies
Fund Manager Retirement System Investors Inc.
Who May Want To Invest Investors who want the value of
their investment to grow with the potential of receiving
dividend income.
Investment Strategies The Growth and Income Fund invests
primarily in U.S. common stocks of large capitalization
companies. The Fund selects stocks that it believes will
appreciate in value, seeking to take advantage of temporary
stock price inefficiencies which may be caused by market
participants focusing heavily on short-term developments. In selecting stocks
for the Fund, the Fund Manager employs a "value-oriented" strategy. This means
that the Fund Manager attempts to identify stocks of companies that have greater
value than is recognized by the market generally. The Fund Manager considers a
number of factors, such as sales, growth and profitability prospects for the
economic sector and markets in which the company operates and sells its products
and services, the company's stock market price, earnings level and projected
earnings growth rate. The Fund Manager also considers current and projected
dividend yields. The Fund Manager compares this information to that of other
companies in determining relative value and dividend potential.
Principal Risks The Fund invests primarily in U.S. common stocks. As a result,
the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or
extended periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of
rising prices and periods of falling prices. This price volatility is the
principal risk of investing in the Fund.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The bar chart below and the performance table on the next page illustrate the
volatility of an investment in the Fund and give some indication of the risk by
comparing the Fund's performance with a broad measure of market performance. Of
course, the Fund's past performance does not necessarily indicate how the Fund
will perform in the future. The performance of different classes of shares will
differ due to differences in expenses.

Who May Want To Invest Investors who want the value of
their investment to grow but do not need to receive income
on their investment.
Investment Strategies The Equity Fund invests primarily in
U.S. common stocks of companies that meet the Fund
Manager's criteria of high return on investment capital,
strong positions within their industries, sound financial
fundamentals and management committed to shareholder
interests. The Fund Manager selects companies with one or
more of the following characteristics: substantial and
growing discretionary cash flow, strong shareholder value-oriented management,
valuable consumer or commercial franchises, high return on capital, favorable
price to intrinsic value, and undervalued assets. The Fund Manager also imposes
a strict sell discipline to sell the stock once it rises close to the target
price established by the Fund Manager.
Principal Risks The Fund invests primarily in U.S. common stocks. As a result,
the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or

ENTERPRISE EQUITY INCOME FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective A combination of growth and income to
achieve an above-average and consistent total return
Principal Investments Dividend-paying U.S. common stocks
Fund Manager 1740 Advisers, Inc.
Who May Want To Invest Investors who want the value of
their investment to grow, with the potential of receiving
dividend income.
Investment Strategies The Equity Income Fund invests
primarily in dividend-paying U.S. common stocks. The goal
is capital appreciation combined with a high level of
current income. Dividend yield relative to the S&P 500
average is used as a discipline and measure of value in
selecting stocks for the Fund. To qualify for a purchase, a
stock's yield must be greater than the S&P 500's average
dividend yield. The stock must be sold within two quarters after its dividend
yield falls below that of the S&P average. The effect of this discipline is that
a stock will be sold if increases in its annual dividends do not keep pace with
increases in its market price.
Principal Risks The Fund invests primarily in U.S. common stocks. As a result,
the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or
extended periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of
rising prices and periods of falling prices. This price volatility is the
principal risk of investing in the Fund.

ENTERPRISE CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective Maximum capital appreciation
Principal Investments U.S. common stocks of companies that
demonstrate accelerating earnings momentum and consistently
strong financial characteristics
Fund Manager Provident Investment Counsel, Inc.
Who May Want To Invest Investors who want the value of
their investment to grow but do not need to receive income
on their investment and are willing to accept the increased
risk associated with more aggressive investment strategies.
Investment Strategies The Capital Appreciation Fund
invests in U.S. common stocks of companies that demonstrate
accelerating earnings momentum and consistently strong
financial characteristics. The Fund Manager's criteria for
stock selection include: (a) steadily increasing earnings;
and (b) a three-year performance record of sales, earnings,
dividend growth, pretax margins, return on equity and
reinvestment rate which, in the aggregate, average 1.5 times the average
performance of the S&P 500 for the same period. The Fund Manager selects stocks
of small, medium and large capitalization companies in an attempt to achieve an
average capitalization of portfolio companies that is less than the average
capitalization of the S&P 500. The potential for maximum capital appreciation is
the basis for investment decisions; any income is incidental.
Principal Risks The Fund's investment universe consists of large, medium and
small capitalization common stocks. As a result, the Fund is subject to the risk
that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. Stock
markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of
falling prices. This price volatility is the principal risk of investing in the
Fund. In addition, small- to mid-sized companies may be more vulnerable to
adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In
particular, these companies may have somewhat limited product lines, markets and
financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small- to medium-sized
management group.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The bar chart below and the performance table on the next page illustrate the
volatility of an investment in the Fund and give some indication of the risk. Of
course, the Fund's past performance does not necessarily indicate how the Fund
will perform in the future. The performance of different classes of shares will
differ due to differences in expenses.
This bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Fund's Class A shares
from year to year. The bar chart does not reflect sales charges. If sales
charges had been reflected, returns would be less than those shown below.

"Enterprise Multi-Cap Growth Fund Portfolio Profile."
ENTERPRISE MULTI-CAP GROWTH FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective Long-term capital appreciation
Principal Investments Equity securities, such as common or
preferred stocks, which are listed on U.S. exchanges or
traded in the over-the-counter market
Fund Manager Fred Alger Management, Inc.
Who may want to invest Investors who want an increase in
the value of their investment without regard to income; are
willing to accept the increased risk of investing in small
and medium size company stocks for the possibility of
higher returns; and want to diversify their portfolio to
include small, medium and large company stocks.
Investment Strategies The Multi-Cap Fund invests primarily
in growth stocks. The Fund Manager believes that these
companies tend to fall into one of two categories: High
Unit Volume Growth and Positive Life Cycle Change. High Unit Volume Growth
companies are those vital, creative companies that offer goods or services to a
rapidly expanding marketplace. They include both established and emerging firms,
offering new or improved products, or firms simply fulfilling an increased
demand for an existing line. Positive Life Cycle Change companies are those
companies experiencing a major change that is expected to produce advantageous
results. These changes may be as varied as new management; new products or
technologies; restructuring or reorganization; or merger and acquisition. The
Fund can leverage, that is, borrow money, to buy additional securities for its
portfolio. By borrowing money, the Fund has the potential to increase its
returns if the increase in the value of the securities purchased, exceeds the
cost of borrowing, including the interest paid on the money borrowed.
Principal Risks As a result of investing primarily in U.S. common stocks, the
Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended
periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising
prices and periods of falling prices. This price volatility is the principal
risk of investing in the Fund. Moreover, because of large investments in
mid-capitalization, small-capitalization and/or emerging growth companies, the
Fund is riskier than large-capitalization funds since such companies typically
have greater earnings fluctuations and greater reliance on a few key customers
than larger companies.
In addition, the cost of borrowing money to leverage may exceed the returns for
the securities purchased or the securities purchased may actually go down in
value; thus, the Fund's net asset value could decrease more quickly than if it
had not borrowed money.
FEES AND EXPENSES
This table describes the shareholder fees that you may pay if you purchase or
redeem Fund shares. Every mutual fund has operating expenses to pay for
professional advisory, shareholder, distribution, administration and custody

ENTERPRISE SMALL COMPANY GROWTH FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective Capital appreciation
Principal Investments U.S. common stocks of small
capitalization companies
Fund Manager William D. Witter, Inc.
Who May Want To Invest Investors who want an increase in
the value of their investment without regard to income; are
willing to accept the increased risk of investing in small
company stocks for the possibility of higher returns; and
want to diversify their portfolio to include small company
stocks.
Investment Strategies The Small Company Growth Fund
invests primarily in common stocks of small capitalization
companies with above-average growth characteristics that
are reasonably valued. The Fund Manager uses a disciplined
approach in evaluating growth companies. It relates the
expected growth rate in earnings to the price-earnings
ratio of the stock. Generally, the Fund Manager will not
buy a stock if its price-earnings ratio exceeds its growth rate. By using this
valuation parameter, the Fund Manager believes it moderates some of the inherent
volatility in the small capitalization sector of the market. Securities will be
sold when the Fund Manager believes the stock price exceeds the valuation
criteria, or when the stock appreciates to a point where it is substantially
overweighted in the portfolio, or when the company no longer meets expectations.
The Fund Manager's goal is to hold a stock for a minimum of one year but this
may not always be feasible and there may be times when short-term gains or
losses will be realized.
Principal Risks The Fund invests primarily in common stocks. As a result, the
Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended
periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising
prices and periods of falling prices. This price volatility is the principal
risk of investing in the Fund. In addition, the Fund invests primarily in
small-sized companies which may be more vulnerable to adverse business or
economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular,
small-sized companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial
resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group.

Investment Objective Maximum capital appreciation
Principal Investments U.S. common stocks of small

Fund Manager Gabelli Asset Management Company (GAMCO
Investors, Inc.)
Who May Want To Invest Investors who want an increase in
the value of their investment without regard to income; are
willing to accept the increased risk of investing in small
company stocks for the possibility of higher returns; and
want to diversify their portfolio to include small company
stocks.
Investment Strategies The Small Company Value Fund invests
primarily in common stocks of small capitalization
companies that the Fund Manager believes are
undervalued -- that is, the stock's market price does not
fully reflect the company's value. The Fund Manager uses a
proprietary research technique to determine which stocks
have a market price that is less than the "private market
value" or what an investor would pay for the company. The
Fund Manager then determines whether there is an emerging
valuation catalyst that will focus investor attention on the underlying assets
of the company and increase the market price. Smaller companies may be subject
to a valuation catalyst such as increased investor attention, takeover efforts
or a change in management.
Principal Risks The Fund invests primarily in common stocks. As a result, the
Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended
periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising
prices and periods of falling prices. This price volatility is the principal
risk of investing in the Fund. In addition, the Fund invests primarily in

Principal Investments Non-U.S. equity securities
Fund Manager Vontobel USA Inc.
Who May Want To Invest Investors who want an increase in
the value of their investment without regard to income and
are willing to accept the increased risk of international
investing for the possibility of higher returns.
Investment Strategies The International Growth Fund
invests primarily in non-U.S. equity securities that the
Fund Manager believes are undervalued. The Fund Manager
uses an approach that involves bottom-up stock selection.
The Fund Manager looks for companies that are good
predictable businesses selling at attractive prices
relative to an estimate of intrinsic value. The Fund
Manager diversifies investments among European, Australian
and Far East ("EAFE") markets.
Principal Risks The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of foreign
companies. As a result, the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will
fall over short or extended periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in
cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. This price
volatility is the principal risk of investing in the Fund. In addition,
investments in foreign markets may be more volatile than investments in U.S.
markets. Diplomatic, political or economic developments may cause foreign
investments to lose money. The value of the U.S. dollar may rise, causing
reduced returns for U.S. persons investing abroad. A foreign country may not
have the same accounting and financial reporting standards as the U.S. Foreign
stock markets, brokers and companies are generally subject to less supervision
and regulation than their U.S. counterparts. Emerging market securities may be
even more susceptible to these risks.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The bar chart below and the performance table on the next page illustrate the
volatility of an investment in the Fund and give some indication of the risk. Of
course, the Fund's past performance does not necessarily indicate how the Fund
will perform in the future. The performance of different classes of shares will
differ due to differences in expenses.
This bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Fund's Class A shares

charges had been reflected, returns would be less than those shown below.

"Global Financial Services Fund Portfolio Profile."
ENTERPRISE GLOBAL FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective Capital appreciation
Principal Investments Common stocks of domestic and
foreign financial services companies
Fund Manager Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., Inc.
Who May Want To Invest Investors who want an increase in
the value of their investment without regard to income;
want investment in the global financial services sector;
and are willing to accept the increased risk of
international investing for the possibility of higher
returns.
Investment Strategies The Global Financial Services Fund
invests primarily in the domestic and foreign financial
services industry by normally investing in companies
domiciled in the U.S. and in at least three other countries. The Fund considers
a financial services company to be a firm that in its most recent fiscal year
either (i) derived at least 50% of its revenues or earnings from financial
services activities, or (ii) devoted at least 50% of its assets to such
activities. Financial services companies provide financial services to consumers
and businesses and include the following types of U.S. and foreign firms:
commercial banks, thrift institutions and their holding companies; consumer and
industrial finance companies; diversified financial services companies;
investment banks; securities brokerage and investment advisory firms; financial
technology companies; real estate-related firms; leasing firms; credit card
companies; government sponsored financial enterprises; investment companies;
insurance brokerages; and various firms in all segments of the insurance
industry such as multi-line property and casualty, life insurance companies and
insurance holding companies. The Fund Manager selects securities by combining
fundamental and quantitative research to identify securities of financial
services companies that are attractively priced relative to their expected
returns. Its research analysts employ a long-term approach to forecasting the
earnings and growth potential of companies and attempt to construct global
portfolios that produce maximum returns at a given risk level.
Principal Risks The Fund invests in common stocks of foreign companies. As a
result, the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short
or extended periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods
of rising prices and periods of falling prices. This price volatility is a
principal risk of investing in the Fund. In addition, investments in foreign
markets may be more volatile than investments in U.S. markets. Diplomatic,
political or economic developments may cause foreign investments to lose money.
The value of the U.S. dollar may rise, causing reduced returns for U.S. persons
investing abroad. A foreign country may not have the same accounting and
financial reporting standards as the U.S. Foreign stock markets, brokers and
companies are generally subject to less supervision and regulation than their
U.S. counterparts. Emerging market securities may be even more susceptible to
these risks. Because the Fund concentrates in a single industry sector, its
performance is largely dependent on the sector's performance, which may differ
from that of the overall stock market. Generally, the financial services
industry is extremely sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. Moreover,
while rising interest rates will cause a decline in the value of any debt
securities the Fund holds, falling interest rates or deteriorating economic
conditions can adversely affect the performance of financial services companies'
stock. Both foreign and domestic financial services companies are affected by
government regulation or market intervention, which may limit their activities
and affect their profitability. Some financial services companies, e.g.,
insurance companies, are subject to severe market share and price competition.

ENTERPRISE INTERNET FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective Long-term capital appreciation
Principal Investments Equity securities, including common
stocks, preferred stocks, warrants and other securities
convertible into common stock of companies primarily
engaged in Internet, Intranet and other "high tech" related
activities.
Fund Manager Fred Alger Management, Inc.
Who may want to invest Investors who want an increase in
the value of their investment without regard to income and
want to diversify their overall portfolio with a
concentrated investment in companies engaged in Internet,
Intranet and other "high tech" related activities.
Investment Strategies Under normal conditions, the
Internet Fund will invest at least 65% of its assets in
equity securities. In choosing which companies' stock the
Fund should purchase, the Fund Manager invests in those companies listed on a
U.S. securities exchange or NASDAQ which are engaged in the research, design,
development or manufacturing, or engaged to a significant extent in the business
of distributing products, processes or services for use with Internet or
Intranet related businesses. The Fund may also invest in other "high tech"
companies. The Internet is a world-wide network of computers designed to permit
users to share information and transfer data quickly and easily. The World Wide
Web("WWW"), which is a means of graphically interfacing with the Internet, is a
hyper-text based publishing medium containing text, graphics, interactive
feedback mechanisms and links within WWW documents and to other WWW documents.
An Intranet is the application of WWW tools and concepts to a company's internal
documents and databases. Other "high tech" companies may include firms in the
computer, communication, video, electronic, office and factory automation and
robotic sectors.
Principal Risks As a result of investing primarily in U.S. common stocks, the
Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended
periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising
prices and periods of falling prices. This price volatility is the principal
risk of investing in the Fund. Moreover, because of large investments in
mid-capitalization, small-capitalization and/or emerging growth companies, the
Fund is riskier than large-capitalization funds since such companies typically
have greater earnings fluctuations and greater reliance on a few key customers
than larger companies. In addition, the value of companies engaged in Internet
and Intranet related activities is particularly vulnerable to rapidly changing
technology, extensive government regulation and relatively high risks of
obsolescence caused by scientific and technological advances. As a result, the
value of the Fund's shares may fluctuate more than shares of a fund investing in
a broader range of industries.
FEES AND EXPENSES
This table describes the shareholder fees that you may pay if you purchase or
redeem Fund shares. Every mutual fund has operating expenses to pay for
professional advisory, shareholder, distribution, administration and custody
services. The Fund's expenses in the table are shown as a percentage of the

Principal Investments Securities that are obligations of

Fund Manager TCW Funds Management, Inc.
Who May Want To Invest Conservative investors who want to
receive income from their investment
Investment Strategies The Government Securities Fund
invests primarily in securities that are obligations of the
U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. The
Fund's investments may include securities issued by the
U.S. Treasury, such as treasury bills, treasury notes and
treasury bonds. In addition, the Fund may invest in
securities that are issued or guaranteed by agencies and
instrumentalities of the U.S. Government. Securities issued
by agencies or instrumentalities may or may not be backed
by the full faith and credit of the United States.
Securities issued by the Government National Mortgage
Association ("GNMA Certificates") are examples of full
faith and credit securities. Agencies or instrumentalities whose securities are
not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States include the Federal
National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp.
(Freddie Mac). To a limited extent, the Fund may invest in mortgage-backed
securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"). The Fund may
concentrate from time to time in different U.S. Government securities in order
to obtain the highest available level of current income and safety of principal.
Principal Risks The Government Securities Fund invests primarily in U.S.
Government debt securities. As a result, the Fund is subject to the risk that
the prices of debt securities will decline due to rising interest rates. This
risk is greater for long-term debt securities than for short-term debt
securities. To the extent that the Fund invests in mortgage-backed securities,
it is subject to additional risk. A mortgage-backed security pools all interest
and principal payments from the underlying mortgages and pays it to the
security's owner. The mortgages underlying mortgage-backed securities may mature
or be paid off before the stated maturity date. This has a number of drawbacks.
First, the Fund may lose money on its investment. Second, the monthly income
payments to the Fund may fluctuate. Third, the Fund cannot predict the maturity
of its investment with certainty. Fourth, the Fund would invest any resulting
proceeds elsewhere, generally at a lower interest rate.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The bar chart below and the performance table on the next page illustrate the
volatility of an investment in the Fund and give some indication of the risk. Of
course, the Fund's past performance does not necessarily indicate how the Fund
will perform in the future. The performance of different classes of shares will
differ due to differences in expenses.
This bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Fund's Class A shares
from year to year. The bar chart does not reflect sales charges. If sales
charges had been reflected, returns would be less than those shown below.

ENTERPRISE HIGH-YIELD BOND FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective Maximum current income
Principal Investments Debt securities rated below
investment grade, which are commonly known as "junk bonds"
Fund Manager Caywood-Scholl Capital Management
Who May Want To Invest Income-oriented investors who are
willing to accept increased risk for the possibility of
greater returns through high-yield bond investing.
Investment Strategies The High-Yield Bond Fund invests
primarily in high-yield, income-producing U.S. corporate
bonds rated B3 to Ba1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's") or B- to BB+ by Standard & Poor's Corporation
("S&P"), which are commonly known as "junk bonds." The
Fund's investments are selected by the Fund Manager after
examination of the economic outlook to determine those
industries that appear favorable for investment. Industries
going through a perceived decline generally are not
candidates for selection. After the industries are
selected, the Fund Manager identifies bonds of issuers within those industries
based on their creditworthiness, their yields in relation to their credit and
the relative value in relation to the high yield market. Companies near or in
bankruptcy are not considered for investment. The Fund does not purchase bonds
which are rated Ca or lower by Moody's or CC or lower by S&P or which, if
unrated, in the judgment of the Fund Manager have characteristics of such
lower-grade bonds. Should an investment be subsequently downgraded to Ca or
lower or CC or lower, the Fund Manager has discretion to hold or liquidate the
security. Subject to the restrictions described above, under normal
circumstances, up to 20% of the Fund's assets may include: (1) bonds rated Caa
by Moody's or CCC by S&P; (2) unrated debt securities which, in the judgment of
the Fund Manager, have characteristics similar to those described above; (3)
convertible debt securities; (4) puts, calls and futures as hedging devices; (5)
foreign issuer debt securities; and (6) short-term money market instruments,
including certificates of deposit, commercial paper, U.S. Government securities
and other income-producing cash equivalents.
Principal Risks The Fund invests primarily in below investment-grade debt
securities. As a result, the Fund is subject to the risk that the prices of the
debt securities will decline due to rising interest rates. This risk is greater
for long-term debt securities than for short-term debt securities. A high-yield
bond's market price may fluctuate more than higher-quality securities and may
decline significantly. High-yield bonds also carry a substantial risk of default
or changes in the issuer's creditworthiness. In addition, it may be more
difficult for the Fund to dispose of high-yield bonds or to determine their
value. High-yield bonds may contain redemption or call provisions that, if
exercised during a period of declining interest rates, may force the Fund to
replace the security with a lower-yielding security. If this occurs, it will
result in a decreased return for shareholders.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The bar chart and the performance table on the next page illustrate the
volatility of an investment in the Fund and give some indication of the risk. Of
course, the Fund's past performance does not necessarily indicate how the Fund
will perform in the future. The performance of different classes of shares will
differ due to differences in expenses.
This bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Fund's Class A shares

ENTERPRISE TAX-EXEMPT INCOME FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective A high level of current income exempt
from federal income tax, with consideration given to
preservation of principal
Principal Investments A diversified portfolio of long-term
investment grade municipal bonds
Fund Manager MBIA Capital Management Corp.
Who May Want To Invest Investors who want to receive
tax-free current income and maintain the value of their
investment.
Investment Strategies The Tax-Exempt Income Fund invests
primarily in investment grade, tax-exempt municipal
securities. The issuers of these securities may be located
in any state, territory or possession of the United States.
In selecting investments for the Fund, the Fund Manager
tries to limit risk as much as possible. The Fund Manager
analyzes municipalities, their credit risk, market trends
and investment cycles. The Fund Manager attempts to
identify and invest in municipal issuers with improving
credit and avoid those with deteriorating credit. The Fund
anticipates that its average weighted maturity will range
from 10 to 25 years. The Fund Manager will actively manage
the Fund, adjusting the average Fund maturity and utilizing futures contracts
and options on futures as a defensive measure according to its judgment of
anticipated interest rates. During periods of rising interest rates and falling
prices, the Fund Manager may adopt a shorter weighted average maturity to
cushion the effect of bond price declines on the Fund's net asset value. When
rates are falling and prices are rising, the Fund Manager may adopt a longer
weighted average maturity. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets
in cash, cash equivalents and debt securities, the interest from which may be
subject to federal income tax. Investments in taxable securities will be limited
to investment grade corporate debt securities and U.S. Government securities.
The Fund will not invest more than 20% of its net assets in municipal
securities, the interest on which is subject to the federal alternative minimum
tax.
Principal Risks The Fund invests primarily in long-term investment grade debt
securities. As a result, the Fund is subject to the risk that the prices of debt
securities will decline due to rising interest rates. This risk is greater for
long-term debt securities than for short-term debt securities. Debt securities
may decline in credit quality due to economic or governmental events. In
addition, an issuer may fail to make timely payments of principal or interest to
the Fund. Some investment grade bonds may have speculative characteristics.

The bar chart below and the performance table on the next page illustrate the
volatility of an investment in the Fund and give some indication of the risk. Of
course, the Fund's past performance does not necessarily indicate how the Fund
will perform in the future. The performance of different classes of shares will

Profile."
ENTERPRISE BALANCED FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective Long-term total return
Principal Investments A combination of equity, fixed
income and short-term securities
Fund Manager Montag & Caldwell, Inc.
Who may want to invest Investors who want the value of
their investment to grow and also want to receive income on
their investment
Investment Strategies Generally, between 55% and 75% of
the Balanced Fund's total assets will be invested in equity
securities. The portfolio allocation will vary based upon
the Fund Manager's assessment of the return potential of
each asset class. For equity investments, the Fund Manager
uses a bottom-up approach to stock selection, focusing on
high quality, well-established companies that have a strong
history of earnings growth; attractive prices relative to
the company's potential for above average; long-term
earnings and revenue growth; strong balance sheets; a
sustainable competitive advantage; the potential to become (or currently are)
industry leaders; and the potential to outperform the market during downturns.
When selecting fixed income securities, the Fund Manager will seek to maintain
the Fund's weighted average duration within 20% of the duration of the Lehman
Brothers Government Corporate Index. Emphasis is also placed on diversification
and credit analysis. The Fund will only invest in fixed income securities with
an "A" or better rating. Fixed investments will include: U.S. Government
securities; corporate bonds; mortgage/ asset-backed securities; and money market
securities and repurchase agreements.
Principal Risks The Fund invests in both common stocks and debt securities. As
a result, the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short
or extended periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods
of rising prices and periods of falling prices. This price volatility is a
principal risk of investing in the Fund. In addition, the Fund is subject to the
risk that the prices of debt securities will decline due to rising interest
rates. The risk is greater for long-term debt securities than for short-term
debt securities. Debt securities may decline in credit quality due to events
related to the issuer as well as to general economic or governmental events.
FEES AND EXPENSES
This table describes the shareholder fees that you may pay if you purchase or

ENTERPRISE MANAGED FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective Growth of capital over time
Principal Investments Common stocks, bonds and cash
equivalents, the percentages of which will vary based on
the Fund Manager's assessment of relative investment values
Fund Manager OpCap Advisors
Who May Want To Invest Investors who want the value of
their investment to grow but do not need to receive income
on their investment.
Investment Strategies The Managed Fund invests in a
diversified portfolio of common stocks, bonds and cash
equivalents. The allocation of the Fund's assets among the
different types of permitted investments will vary from
time to time based upon the Fund Manager's evaluation of
economic and market trends and its perception of the
relative values available from such types of securities at
any given time. There is neither a minimum nor a maximum
percentage of the Fund's assets that may, at any given
time, be invested in any specific types of investments.
However, the Fund invests primarily in equity securities at times when the Fund
Manager believes that the best investment values are available in the equity
markets. The Fund may invest almost all of its assets in high-quality short-term
money market and cash equivalent securities when the Fund Manager deems it
advisable to preserve capital. Consequently, while the Fund will earn income to
the extent it is invested in bonds or cash equivalents, the Fund does not have
any specific income objective. The bonds in which the Fund may invest will
normally be investment grade intermediate to long-term U.S. Government and
corporate debt.
Principal Risks The Fund invests in both common stocks and debt securities. As
a result, the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short
or extended periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods
of rising prices and periods of falling prices. This price volatility is a
principal risk of investing in the Fund. In addition, the Fund is subject to the
risk that the prices of debt securities will decline due to rising interest
rates. The risk is greater for long-term debt securities than for short-term
debt securities. Debt securities may decline in credit quality due to factors
affecting the issuer and economic or political events.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The bar chart below and the performance table on the next page illustrate the
volatility of an investment in the Fund and give some indication of the risk. Of
course, the Fund's past performance does not necessarily indicate how the Fund
will perform in the future. The performance of different classes of shares will
differ due to differences in expenses.
This bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Fund's Class A shares
from year to year. The bar chart does not reflect sales charges. If sales
charges had been reflected, returns would be less than those shown below.

your shares within six years of purchase. Class B shares automatically
convert to Class A shares about eight years after you purchase them and will
be subject to lower expenses. See "Shareholder Account Information."
(3) This sales charge is imposed if you redeem Class C shares within one year of
your purchase. See "Shareholder Account Information."
(4) Class B or Class C shareholders who own their shares for an extended period
of time may pay more in Rule 12b-1 distribution fees than the economic
equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charge permitted under the Conduct
Rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers.
EXAMPLE
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund
with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you
invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The example also
assumes that each year your investment has a 5% return and Fund expenses remain
the same. Although your actual costs and returns may be different, your
approximate costs of investing $10,000 in the Fund would be:

(1) Each Fund that invests in U.S. stocks may invest in large capitalization
companies, medium capitalization companies and small capitalization
companies. Large capitalization companies generally have market
capitalizations of over $5 billion. Medium capitalization companies
generally have market capitalizations ranging from $1 billion to $5 billion.
Small capitalization companies generally have market capitalizations of $1
billion or less. However, there may be some overlap among capitalization
categories. The Growth, Growth & Income, Equity, Equity Income Balanced and
Managed Funds intend to invest primarily in stocks of large capitalization
companies. The Small Company Growth Fund and the Small Company Value Fund
intend to invest primarily in the stocks of small capitalization issuers.
The Multi-Cap Growth and Internet Funds intend to invest in large, medium
and small capitalization companies.
Each Fund also may invest in other securities, use other strategies and
engage in other investment practices, which are described in detail in our
Statement of Additional Information. Of course, we cannot guarantee that any
Fund will achieve its investment goal.
The investments listed above and the investments and strategies described
throughout this prospectus are those that a Fund may use under normal
conditions. During unusual economic or market conditions or for temporary
defensive or liquidity purposes, each Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets
in cash, money market instruments, repurchase agreements and short-term
obligations. When a Fund is investing for temporary defensive purposes, it is
not pursuing its investment goal.

MONEY MARKET FUND'S INVESTMENTS
The Money Market Fund's principal investments include: bank obligations,
commercial paper and corporate obligations. The Fund also may invest in other
securities, use other strategies and engage in other investment practices, which
are described in detail in our Statement of Additional Information. Of course,
we cannot guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal or maintain a
stable share price of $1.00.
YEAR 2000
Many computer and computer-based systems cannot distinguish the year 2000
from the year 1900 because of the way they encode and calculate dates (commonly
known as the "Year 2000 Issue"). The Year 2000 Issue could potentially have an
adverse impact on the handling of security trades, the payment of interest and
dividends, pricing and account services. As part of its operational
responsibilities, the Advisor has reviewed each of its internal systems and has
obtained assessments from each service provider, including Fund Managers, of
Year 2000 issues which could potentially impact services to the Fund. The
Advisor is unaware of any Year 2000 issues which remain unresolved or have been
identified as unresolvable. In addition, the Advisor has established a timetable
to periodically re-evaluate systems to ensure new issues or those which may not
previously have been identified are addressed and resolved in an expeditious
manner. The Advisor does not anticipate any material expenditures for monitoring
Year 2000 issues. If the problem has not been fully addressed, however, the
Funds could be negatively affected. The Year 2000 Issue could also have a
negative impact on the companies in which the Funds invest, including foreign
issuers or associated foreign governments, which could hurt the Funds'
investment returns.
EURO CONVERSION
Effective January 1, 1999, several European countries irrevocably fixed
their existing national currencies to a new single European currency unit, the
"euro." Certain European investments may be subject to additional risks as a
result of this conversion. These risks include adverse tax and accounting
consequences, as well as difficulty in processing transactions. The Advisor is
aware of such potential problems and is coordinating efforts to prevent or
alleviate their adverse impact on the Funds. There can be no assurance that the
Funds will not suffer any adverse consequences as a result of the euro
conversion.

RISK TERMINOLOGY
CORRELATION RISK: the risk that changes in the value of a hedging
instrument will not match that of the asset being hedged (hedging is the use of
one investment to offset the effects of another investment). Incomplete
correlation can result in unanticipated risks.
CREDIT RISK: the risk that the issuer of a security, or the counterparty
to a contract, will default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial
obligation.
CURRENCY RISK: the risk that fluctuations in the exchange rates between
the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect an investment.
Adverse changes in exchange rates may erode or reverse any gains produced by
foreign currency denominated investments and may increase any losses.
INFORMATION RISK: the risk that key information about a security or market
is inaccurate or unavailable.
INTEREST RATE RISK: the risk of market losses attributable to changes in
interest rates. With fixed-rate securities, a rise in interest rates typically
causes a fall in values, while a fall in rates typically causes a rise in
values.
LEVERAGE RISK: the risk associated with securities or practices (such as
borrowing) that multiply small index or market movements into large changes in
value.
Hedged. When a derivative (a security whose value is based on another
security or index) is used as a hedge against an opposite position that the
Fund also holds, any loss generated by the derivative should be
substantially offset by gains on the hedged investment, and vice versa.
While hedging can reduce or eliminate losses, it can also reduce or
eliminate gains.
Speculative. To the extent that a derivative is not used as a hedge,
a Fund is directly exposed to the risks of that derivative. Gains or losses
from speculative positions in a derivative may be substantially greater
than the derivative's original cost.
LIQUIDITY RISK: the risk that certain securities may be difficult or
impossible to sell at the time and the price that the seller would like. The
seller may have to lower the price, sell other securities instead or forego an
investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund
management or performance.
MARKET RISK: the risk that the market value of a security may move up or
down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may cause a
security to be worth less than the price originally paid for it, or less than it
was worth at an earlier time. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry,
sector of the economy or the market as a whole and is common to all stocks and
bonds and the mutual funds that invest in them.
NATURAL EVENT RISK: the risk of losses attributable to natural disasters,
crop failures and similar events.
OPPORTUNITY RISK: the risk of missing out on an investment opportunity
because the assets necessary to take advantage of it are tied up in other less
advantageous investments.
POLITICAL RISK: the risk of losses attributable to government or political
actions. Political risks range from changes in tax or trade statutes to
governmental collapse and war.
VALUATION RISK: the risk that a Fund has valued certain of its securities
at a higher price than it can sell them for.

SHAREHOLDER ACCOUNT INFORMATION
SELECTING A SHARE CLASS
Each Fund offers three Classes of shares through this Prospectus: Class A,
B and C shares. Each Class of shares has its own sales charge and expense
structure, which allows you to choose the Class of shares best suited to your
investment needs. When choosing your Class of shares, you should consider the
size of your investment and how long you plan to hold your shares. Your
financial advisor can help you determine which Class is right for you.
The table below summarizes the key features of Class A, B and C shares.
They are described in more detail below.

*The Internet Fund is designed for long term investors. If you sell Class
A, B or C shares of the Internet Fund within 6 months of purchase, you will be
subject to a redemption fee of 2.0% of the net asset value of the shares
redeemed. The aim of this fee is to discourage short term trading in shares of
the Internet Fund.
Enterprise Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a subsidiary of
Enterprise Capital Management, Inc., the Advisor to the Funds, is the principal
underwriter for shares of the Funds. In addition to distribution and service
fees paid by the Funds under the Class A, Class B and Class C distribution
plans, the Distributor (or one of its affiliates) may make payments out of its
own resources to dealers (including MONY Securities Corp.) and other persons
that sell shares of the Funds. Such payments may be calculated by reference to
the net asset value of shares sold by such persons or otherwise.

<PAGE> 47
CLASS A SHARES -- INITIAL SALES CHARGE OPTION
If you select Class A shares of any Fund other than the Money Market Fund,
you will pay a sales charge at the time of purchase. No initial sales charge
applies to Class A shares that you receive through reinvestment of dividends or
distributions. However, if you have received shares of the Money Market Fund
through reinvestment of dividends, and you subsequently exchange those shares
for Class A shares of another Fund, an initial sales charge will apply to the
Class A purchase. The sales charges applicable to Class A shares are based on
the following schedule:

(1) In determining the amount of your investment and the applicable sales
charge, we will include all shares you are currently purchasing in all of
the Funds, except for shares of the Money Market Fund.
(2) From time to time upon written notice to all of its dealers, the Distributor
may hold special promotions for specified periods during which the
Distributor may reallow dealers up to the full sales charges shown above.
During such periods, dealers may be deemed to have certain additional
responsibilities under the securities laws. In addition, the Distributor may
sponsor sales contests and provide to all qualifying dealers, from its own
profits and resources, additional compensation in the form of trips or
merchandise. The Distributor will provide additional compensation to dealers
in connection with sales of shares of the Funds and other mutual funds
distributed by the Distributor including promotional gifts (which may
include gift certificates, dinners and other items), financial assistance to
dealers in connection with conferences, sales or training programs for their
employees, seminars for the public and advertising campaigns. In some
instances, these incentives may be made available only to dealers whose
representatives have sold or are expected to sell significant amounts of
shares.
(3) If you invest $1,000,000 or more in Class A shares, you will not pay an
initial sales charge. However, if you redeem your shares within 24 months of
the end of the calendar month of their purchase, you may be charged a CDSC.
The Distributor will compensate dealers in connection with purchases of
Class A shares in excess of $1,000,000.
If you purchase Class A shares, you will also pay a distribution and
service fee at an annual rate of 0.45% of the average daily net assets
attributable to Class A shares of each Fund.
CLASS B AND C SHARES -- CDSC OPTIONS
If you select Class B or Class C shares, you will not pay an initial sales
charge at the time of purchase. However, if you redeem your Class B shares
within six years of purchase or Class C shares within one year, you may be
required to pay a CDSC, which will be deducted from your redemption proceeds. If
you own Class B or C shares of a Fund other than the Money Market Fund, you will
also pay distribution fees of 0.75% and service fees of 0.25% of the average
daily net assets each year pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940. Because these fees are paid from the Funds' assets on an ongoing
basis, over time these fees increase the cost of your investment and may cost
you more than paying an initial sales charge. The Distributor uses the money
that it receives from the CDSC and the distribution fees to reimburse its
expenses of providing distribution related services to the Funds.
The Fund will not accept purchase orders for Class B shares in amounts of
$250,000 or more, and will not accept purchase orders for Class C shares in
amounts of $1,000,000 or more.
44
<PAGE> 48
The Class B CDSC gradually decreases as you hold your shares over time,
according to the following schedule:

Over five years up to six years............................. 1.00%
More than six years......................................... None
</TABLE>
If you redeem Class C shares within 12 months after purchase, you may be
charged a CDSC of 1.00%.
DETERMINATION OF THE CDSC
Each applicable CDSC will be determined using the original purchase cost or
current market value of the shares being redeemed, whichever is less. There is
no CDSC imposed upon the redemption of reinvested dividends or distributions.
Moreover, no CDSC will be charged upon the exchange of shares from one Fund into
another. In determining whether a CDSC is payable, we assume that shares that
are not subject to a CDSC are redeemed first and that other shares are then
redeemed in the order purchased. If shares of the Money Market Fund are acquired
upon an exchange from shares of another Fund, your Money Market Fund shares will
continue to be subject to any CDSC that applied at the time of exchange. The
time period during which you hold Money Market Fund shares will not be taken
into account for purposes of determining the CDSC applicable upon redemption.
The following example illustrates calculation of CDSC. Assume that you make
a single purchase of $10,000 of the Fund's Class B shares at a price of $10 per
share. Sixteen months later the value of the shares has grown by $1,000 through
reinvested dividends and by an additional $1,000 in appreciation to a total of
$12,000; the current price per share is $11. If you then redeem $5,500 in share
values, (500 shares) the CDSC would apply only to $4,000. That figure is arrived
at by taking the entire redemption amount ($5,500) minus the reinvested
dividends ($1,000), minus the appreciation per share redeemed ($1 per share X
the number of shares redeemed--$500). The charge would be at a rate of 4% ($160)
because it was in the second year after the purchase was made.

<PAGE> 49
CLASS A WAIVERS AND REDUCTIONS
The following individuals and institutions may purchase Class A shares
without an initial sales charge:
- Selling brokers, their employees and their registered representatives.
- Employees, clients or direct referrals of any Fund Manager or of
Evaluation Associates, Inc.
- Directors, former directors, employees or retirees of the Advisor or
of The MONY Group Inc. ("MONY") and its subsidiaries.
- Family including spouses, parents, siblings, children and
grandchildren and employee benefit plans of any of the first three
categories.
- Certain employee benefit plans qualified under Sections 401 and 403 of
the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), including salary reduction plans
qualified under Section 401(k) and certain payroll deduction plans,
subject to minimum requirements with respect to number of participants
or plan assets which may be established by the Distributor.
- MONY and its subsidiaries.
- Clients of fee-based financial planners.
- Financial institutions and financial institutions' trust departments
for funds over which they exercise exclusive discretionary investment
authority and which are held in fiduciary, agency, advisory, custodial
or similar capacity.
The Class A initial sales charge may be reduced in connection with
purchases by members of certain associations, fraternal groups, franchise
organizations and unions. There are also several special purchase plans that
allow you to combine multiple purchases of Class A shares to take advantage of
the breakpoints in the sales charge schedule. For information about initial
sales charge reductions, the "Right of Accumulation Discount" and "Letter of
Intent Investments," contact your financial advisor or broker, or consult the
Statement of Additional Information.
If you are eligible to purchase Class A shares without an initial sales
charge because you fit within one of the categories described above, you will
also qualify for a waiver of any CDSC that would otherwise apply to your
redemption of Class A shares.
The CDSC will not apply to Class A shares for which the selling dealer is
not permitted to receive a sales load or redemption fee imposed on a shareholder
with whom such dealer has a fiduciary relationship in accordance with provisions
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and regulations thereunder,
provided that the dealer agrees to certain reimbursement arrangements with the
Distributor that are described in the Statement of Additional Information. If
the dealer agrees to these reimbursement arrangements, no CDSC will be imposed
with respect to shares purchased for $1,000,000 or more.
CDSC WAIVERS
Enterprise will waive your CDSC in connection with:
- Distributions to participants or beneficiaries of and redemptions
(other than redemption of the entire plan account) by plans qualified
under IRC Section 401(a) or from custodial accounts under IRC Section
403(b)(7), individual retirement accounts under IRC Section 408(a),
deferred compensation plans under the IRC Section 457 and other
employee benefit plans ("plans"), and returns of excess contributions
made to these plans.
- The liquidation of a shareholder's account if the aggregate net asset
value of shares held in the account is less than the required minimum.
46
<PAGE> 50
- Redemption of shares of a shareholder (including a registered joint
owner) who has died.
- Redemption of shares of a shareholder (including a registered joint
owner) who after purchase of the shares being sold becomes totally
disabled (as evidenced by a determination by the federal Social
Security Administration).
- Redemptions under a Fund's systematic withdrawal plan at a maximum of
10% per year of the net asset value of the account.
- Redemptions made pursuant to any Individual Retirement Account (IRA)
systematic withdrawal based on the shareholder's life expectancy in
accordance with the requirements of the IRC.
CONVERSION OF CLASS B SHARES
Your Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares of the
same Fund eight years after the end of the calendar month in which your purchase
order for Class B shares was accepted. A pro rata portion of any Class B shares
acquired through reinvestment of dividends or distributions will convert along
with Class B shares that were purchased. Class A shares are subject to lower
expenses than Class B shares. The conversion of Class B to Class A is not a
taxable event for federal income tax purposes.
REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGE
If you redeem shares of a Fund on which you paid an initial sales charge or
are charged a CDSC upon redemption, you will be eligible for a reinstatement
privilege if you reinvest the proceeds in shares of the same Class of the same
or a different Fund within 180 days of redemption. Specifically, when you
reinvest, the Fund will waive any initial sales charge or credit your account
with the amount of the CDSC that you previously paid. The reinvested shares will
keep their original cost and purchase date for purposes of calculating any
future CDSCs. The return of a CDSC may affect determination of gain or loss
relating to the original sale transaction for federal income tax purposes. The
Fund may modify or terminate the reinstatement privilege at any time.

Have your investment dealer submit your The redemption price of your shares is based on the next
redemption order calculation of net asset value after your order is received.
Call the Transfer Agent at 1-800-368-3527 You may redeem your shares by telephone if you have
authorized this service. If you make a telephone redemption
request, you must furnish:
- the name and address of record of the registered owner,
- the account number and tax i.d. number,
- the amount to be redeemed, and
- the name of the person making the request.
Checks for telephone redemptions will be issued only to the
registered shareowner(s) and mailed to the last address of
record or exchanged into another Fund. All telephone
redemption instructions are recorded and are limited to
requests of $50,000 or less.
Write the Transfer Agent at: You may redeem your shares by sending in a written request.
Enterprise Shareholder Services If you own share certificates, they must accompany the
P.O. Box 419731 written request. You must obtain a signature guarantee if:
Kansas City, MO 64141-6731 - the redemption proceeds exceed $50,000,
- the proceeds are to be sent to an address other than the
address of record, or
- the proceeds are to be sent to a person other than the
registered holder.
You can generally obtain a signature guarantee from the
following sources:
- a member firm of a domestic securities exchange;
- a commercial bank;
- a savings and loan association;
- a credit union; or
- a trust company.
Corporations, executors, administrators, trustees or
guardians may need to include additional documentation with
a request to redeem shares and a signature guarantee.
Payment of Proceeds Generally The Funds normally will make payment of redemption proceeds
within seven days after your request has been properly made
and received. When purchases are made by check or periodic
account investment, redemption proceeds may not be available
until the investment being redeemed has been in the account
for seven calendar days. The Funds may suspend the
redemption privilege or delay sending redemption proceeds
for more than seven days during any period when the New York
Stock Exchange is closed or an emergency warranting such
action exists as determined by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Receipt of Proceeds By Wire For a separate $10 charge, you may request that your
redemption proceeds of $250,000 or less be wired. If you
submit a written request, your proceeds may be wired to the
bank currently on file. If written instructions are to send
wire to any other bank, a signature guarantee is required.
If you authorize the Transfer Agent to accept telephone wire
requests, any authorized person may make such requests at
1-800-368-3527. However, on a telephone request, your
proceeds may be wired only to a bank previously designated
by you in writing. If you have authorized expedited wire
redemption, shares can be sold and the proceeds sent by
federal wire transfer to previously designated bank
accounts. Otherwise, proceeds normally will be sent to the
designated bank account the following business day. To
change the name of the single designated bank account to
receive wire redemption proceeds, you must send a written
request with signature(s) guaranteed to the Transfer Agent.

Use of Check Writing If you hold an account with a balance of more than $5,000 in
Class A shares of the Money Market Fund you may redeem your
shares of that Fund by redemption check. You may make
redemption checks payable in any amount from $500 to
$100,000. You may write up to five redemption checks per
month without charge. Each additional redemption check in
any given month will be subject to a $5 fee. You may obtain
redemption checks, without charge, by calling 1-800-368-3527
or writing Enterprise Shareholder Services at P.O. Box
419731, Kansas City, MO 64141-6731.
The Funds may charge a $25 fee for stopping payment of a
redemption check upon your request. It is not possible to
use a redemption check to close out an account since
additional shares accrue daily. Redemptions by check writing
may be subject to a CDSC if the Money Market Fund shares
being redeemed were purchased by exchanged shares of another
Fund on which a CDSC was applicable. The Funds will honor
the check only if there are sufficient funds available in
your Money Market Fund account to cover the fee amount of
the check plus applicable CDSC, if any.
Participate in the Bank Purchase and You may initiate an Automatic Clearing House (ACH) Purchase
Redemption Plan or Redemption directly to a bank account when you have
established proper instructions, including all applicable
bank information, on the account.
Participate in a Systematic Withdrawal Plan If you have at least $5,000 in your account you may
participate in a systematic withdrawal plan. Under a plan,
you may arrange monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual
automatic withdrawals of at least $100 from any Fund. The
proceeds of each withdrawal will be mailed to you or as you
otherwise direct in writing, including to a life insurance
company, such as an affiliate of MONY. The $5,000 minimum
account size is not applicable to Individual Retirement
Accounts. The maximum annual rate at which Class B shares
may be sold under a systematic withdrawal plan is 10% of the
net asset value of the account. The Funds process sales
through a systematic withdrawal plan on the 15th day of the
month or the following business day if the 15th is not a
business day. Any income or capital gain dividends will be
automatically reinvested at net asset value. A sufficient
number of full and fractional shares will be redeemed to
make the designated payment. Depending upon the size of the
payments requested and fluctuations in the net asset value
of the shares redeemed, sales for the purpose of making such
payments may reduce or even exhaust the account.
You should not purchase Class A shares while participating
in a systematic withdrawal plan because you may be redeeming
shares upon which a sales charge was already paid. The Funds
will not knowingly permit additional investments of less
than $2,000 if you are making systematic withdrawals at the
same time. The Advisor will waive the CDSC on redemptions of
shares made pursuant to a systematic withdrawal plan.
The Funds may amend the terms of a systematic withdrawal
plan on 30 days' notice. You or the Funds may terminate the
plan at any time.

No CDSC will be charged upon the exchange of shares.
However, if shares of the Money Market Fund are acquired
upon an exchange from shares of another Fund, your Money
Market Fund shares will continue to be subject to any CDSC
that applied at the time of exchange. The time period during
which you hold Money Market Fund shares will not be taken
into account for purposes of determining the CDSC applicable
upon redemption. Shares of a Fund subject to an exchange
will be processed at net asset value next determined after
the Transfer Agent receives your exchange request. In
determining the CDSC applicable to shares being redeemed
subsequent to an exchange, we will take into account the
length of time you held shares prior to the exchange.
If your exchange results in the opening of a new account in
a Fund, you are subject to the applicable minimum investment
requirements. Original investments in the Money Market Fund
which are transferred to other Funds are considered
purchases rather than exchanges.

TRANSACTION AND ACCOUNT POLICIES
VALUATION OF SHARES
When you purchase shares, you pay the offering price, which is net asset
value, plus any applicable sales charges. When you redeem your shares, you
receive the net asset value, minus any applicable CDSC. The Funds calculate a
share's net asset value by dividing net assets of each Class by the total number
of outstanding shares of such Class.
The Funds calculate net asset value at the close of regular trading on each
day the New York Stock Exchange is open.
Except with respect to the Money Market Fund, investment securities, other
than debt securities, listed on either a national or foreign securities exchange
or traded in the over-the-counter National Market System are valued each
business day at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the
security is primarily traded. If there are no current day sales, the securities
are valued at their last quoted bid price. Other securities traded
over-the-counter and not part of the National Market System are valued at the
last quoted bid price. Debt securities (other than certain short-term
obligations) are valued each business day by an independent pricing service
approved by the Board of Directors. Short-term debt securities having a
remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates market value. Any securities for which market quotations are not
readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors. Securities held by the Money Market Fund are valued on
an amortized cost basis. Under the amortized cost method, a security is valued
at its cost and any discount or premium is amortized over the period until
maturity without taking into account the impact of fluctuating interest rates on
the market value of the security unless the aggregate deviation from net asset
value as calculated by using available market quotations exceeds 1/2 of 1
percent.
The Money Market Fund seeks to maintain a constant net asset value per
share of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that the Money Market Fund will be
able to do so.
The different expenses borne by each Class of shares of a Fund will result
in different net asset values and dividends for each Class. The net asset values
of the three Classes of each Fund may, however, converge immediately after the
recording of dividends.
EXECUTION OF REQUESTS
The net asset value used in determining your purchase, redemption or
exchange price is the one next calculated after your order is received by the
Fund. The Distributor or the Fund may reject any order. From time to time, the
Funds may suspend the sale of shares. In such event, existing shareholders
normally will be permitted to continue to purchase additional shares of the same
Class and to have dividends reinvested.
The Funds normally pay redemption proceeds in cash. However, if a Fund
determines that it would be detrimental to the best interests of the remaining
shareholders of the Fund to make payment of redemption proceeds wholly or partly
in cash, the Fund may pay the redemption price in securities (redemption in
kind), in which case, you would probably have to pay brokerage costs to sell the
securities distributed to you, as well as taxes on any capital gains from the
sale as with any redemption. The Funds have made an election that requires them
to pay $250,000 of redemption proceeds in cash, subject to other restrictions as
described in the Statement of Additional Information.
TELEPHONE TRANSACTIONS
If you elect to exchange or redeem your shares by telephone, you are
subject to the risk that neither the Funds nor the Transfer Agent will be liable
for properly acting upon unauthorized telephone instructions believed to be
genuine. The Funds use reasonable procedures to confirm that telephone
instructions
52
<PAGE> 56
are genuine. However, if appropriate measures are not taken, the Funds may be
liable for any losses that may occur to an account due to an unauthorized
telephone call.
EXCHANGES AND REDEMPTIONS
The Funds may refuse to allow the exercise of the exchange privilege in
less than two-week intervals or may restrict an exchange from any Fund until
shares have been held in that Fund for at least seven days. The Funds may also
discontinue or modify the exchange privilege on a prospective basis at any time,
including a modification of the amount or terms of a service fee, upon notice to
shareholders in accordance with applicable rules adopted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Your exchange may be processed only if the shares
of the Fund to be acquired are eligible for sale in your state and if the
exchange privilege may be legally offered in your state.
In addition, if a Fund determines that an investor is using market timing
strategies or making excessive exchanges or redemptions and immediate loss of
redemption proceeds would harm the Fund, the Fund may delay investment of the
proceeds of such investor's exchange request for up to seven days. The Funds may
also refuse any exchange order.
SHARE CERTIFICATES
The Funds do not ordinarily issue certificates representing shares of the
Funds. Instead, shares are held on deposit for shareholders by the Funds'
Transfer Agent, which will send you a statement of shares owned in each Fund
following each transaction in your account. If you wish to have certificates for
your shares, you may request them from the Transfer Agent by writing to
Enterprise Shareholder Services, P.O. Box 419731, Kansas City, MO 64141-6731.
The Funds do not issue certificates for fractional shares. You may redeem or
exchange certificated shares only by returning the certificates to the Fund,
along with a letter of instruction and a signature guarantee. Special
shareholder services such as telephone redemptions, exchanges, electronic funds
transfers and wire orders are not available if you hold certificates.
SMALL ACCOUNTS
For accounts with balances under $1,000, an annual service charge of $25
per account registration per Fund will apply, excluding Automatic Bank Draft
Plan Accounts, Automatic Investment Plan Accounts, Retirement Accounts and
Savings Plan Accounts.
If your account balance drops to $500 or less, a Fund may close out your
account and mail you the proceeds. You will always be given at least 45 days
written notice to give you time to add to your account and avoid redeeming your
shares.

DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
Each Fund will distribute substantially all of its net investment income
and realized net capital gains, if any.
Each Fund makes distributions of capital gains, if any, at least annually.

Your dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, will be
automatically reinvested in shares of the same Fund and Class on which they were
paid at the net asset value. Such reinvestments automatically occur on the
payment date of such dividends and capital gains distributions. Alternatively,
if you contact the Transfer Agent, you may elect to receive dividends or capital
gains distributions, or both, in cash.
You will pay tax on dividends and distributions from the Funds whether you
receive them in cash or additional shares. The Funds intend to make
distributions that will either be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains. If,
for any taxable year, a Fund distributes income from dividends from domestic
corporations, and complies with certain requirements, corporate shareholders may
be entitled to take a dividends-received deduction for some or all of the
dividends they receive.
If you redeem shares of a Fund or exchange them for shares of another Fund,
unless you are a dealer, you generally will recognize capital gain or loss on
the transaction. Any such gain or loss will be a long-term capital gain or loss,
if you held such shares for more than 12 months. The maximum long-term capital
gain tax rate for individuals is 20%.
Income received by the Funds from investments in securities issued by
foreign issuers may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign
countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may
reduce or eliminate such taxes.
If you are neither a lawful permanent resident nor a citizen of the U.S. or
if you are a foreign entity, the Funds' ordinary income dividends (which include
distributions of net short term capital gains) will generally be subject to a
30% U.S. withholding tax, unless a lower treaty rate applies.
The Funds are required to withhold 31% ("Back-Up Withholding") of the
distributions and the proceeds of redemptions payable to shareholders who fail
to provide a correct social security or taxpayer identification number or to
make required certifications, or who have been notified by the Internal Revenue
Service that they are subject to Back-Up Withholding. Corporate shareholders and
certain other shareholders specified in the IRC are exempt from Back-Up
Withholding.
Dividends derived from interest on municipal securities and designated by
the Tax-Exempt Income Fund as exempt interest dividends by written notice to the
shareholders, under existing law, are not subject to federal income tax.
Dividends derived from net capital gains realized by the Fund are taxable to
shareholders as a capital gain upon distribution. Any short-term capital gains
or any taxable interest

income or accrued market discount realized by the Fund will be distributed as a
taxable ordinary income dividend distribution. These rules apply whether such
distribution is made in cash or in additional shares. Any capital loss realized
from shares held for six months or less is disallowed to the extent of
tax-exempt dividend income received.
Income from certain "private activity" bonds issued after August 7, 1986,
are items of tax preference for the corporate and individual alternative minimum
tax. If the Tax-Exempt Income Fund invests in private activity bonds, you may be
subject to the alternative minimum tax on that part of such Fund distributions
derived from interest income on those bonds. The receipt of exempt-interest
dividends also may have additional tax consequences. Certain of these are
described in the Statement of Additional Information.
The treatment for state and local tax purposes of distributions from the
Tax-Exempt Income Fund representing municipal securities interest will vary
according to the laws of state and local taxing authorities.
The foregoing summarizes some of the federal income tax considerations with
respect to the Funds and their shareholders. It is not a substitute for personal
tax advice. You should consult your tax advisor for more information regarding
the potential tax consequences of an investment in the Funds under all
applicable tax laws.
The Funds will mail statements indicating the tax status of your
distributions to you annually.

FUND MANAGEMENT
THE INVESTMENT ADVISOR
Enterprise Capital Management, Inc. serves as the investment advisor to
each of the Funds. The Advisor selects Fund Managers for the Funds, subject to
the approval of the Board of Directors of the Funds, and reviews each Fund
Manager's continued performance. Evaluation Associates, Inc., which has had 26
years of experience in evaluating investment advisors for individuals and
institutional investors, assists the Advisor in selecting Fund Managers. The
Advisor also provides various administrative services and acts as Fund Manager
for the Money Market Fund.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order that
permits the Advisor to enter into or amend Agreements with Fund Managers without
obtaining shareholder approval each time. The exemptive order permits the
Advisor, with Board approval, to employ new Fund Managers for the Funds, change
the terms of the Agreements with Fund Managers or enter into a new Agreement
with a Fund Manager. Shareholders of a Fund have the right to terminate an
Agreement with a Fund Manager at any time by a vote of the majority of the
outstanding voting securities of such Fund. The Funds will notify shareholders
of any Fund Manager changes or other material amendments to the Agreements with
Fund Managers that occur under these arrangements.
The Advisor, which was incorporated in 1986, served as principal investment
advisor to Alpha Fund, Inc., the predecessor of the Fund's Growth Fund. The
Advisor also serves as investment advisor to Enterprise Accumulation Trust which
had assets of $3.962 billion at March 31, 1999. The Advisor's address is Atlanta
Financial Center, 3343 Peachtree Road, N.E., Suite 450, Atlanta, GA 30326.
The following table sets forth the fee paid to the Advisor for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1998 by each Fund. The Advisor in turn compensated each
Fund Manager at no additional cost to the Fund.

INTRODUCTION
The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. is a mutual fund family that offers
different classes of shares in separate investment portfolios or Funds. This
prospectus relates to Class Y shares of the Funds. The Funds have individual
objectives and strategies to offer investors a broad range of investment
alternatives.
Enterprise Capital Management, Inc. (the "Advisor") is the investment
advisor to each Fund. The Advisor selects a Fund Manager for each Fund's
portfolio on the basis of a number of criteria, including the Fund Manager's
reputation, resources and performance results.
Before investing in any mutual fund, you should consider the general risks
involved. The value of your investment in a Fund is based on the market prices
of the securities the Fund holds. These prices change due to economic and other
events that affect securities markets generally, as well as those that affect
particular companies, industry sectors or governments. These price movements,
sometimes called volatility, will vary depending on the types of securities a
Fund owns and the markets in which these securities trade. In addition, the
investments made by a Fund may underperform the market generally or other mutual
funds with a similar investment objective of that Fund. As with other
investments, you could lose money on your investment in a Fund. Your investment
in a Fund is not a bank deposit. It is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or
any government agency. A Fund may not achieve its objective. A Fund's objective
may not be changed without shareholder approval.

Investment Objective Capital appreciation
Principal Investments U.S. common stocks of large
capitalization companies
Fund Manager Montag & Caldwell, Inc.
Who May Want to Invest Investors who want the value of
their investment to grow but do not need to receive income
on their investment.
Investment Strategies The Growth Fund invests primarily in
U.S. common stocks. The "Growth at a Reasonable Price"
strategy employed by the Fund combines growth and value
style investing. This means that the Fund invests in the
stocks of companies with long-term earnings potential but
which are currently selling at a discount to their
estimated long term value. The Fund's equity selection
process is generally lower risk than a typical growth stock
approach. Valuation is the key selection criterion which
makes the investment style risk averse. Also emphasized are growth
characteristics to identify companies whose shares are attractively priced and
may experience strong earnings growth relative to other companies.
Principal Risks As a result of investing primarily in U.S. common stocks, the
Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended
periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising
prices and periods of falling prices. This price volatility is the principal
risk of investing in the Fund.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The bar chart and the performance table illustrate the volatility of an
investment in the Fund and give some indication of the risk. Of course, the
Fund's past performance does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform
in the future.
This bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Fund's Class Y shares
from year to year.

leaders in important industries within the U.S. economy. It includes
reinvested dividends. An index does not have an investment advisor and does
not pay commissions or expenses. If an index had expenses, its performance
would be lower. One cannot invest directly in an index.
FEES AND EXPENSES
This table describes the shareholder fees that you may pay if you purchase or
redeem Fund shares. Every mutual fund has operating expenses which may pay for
professional advisory, shareholder, distribution, administration and custody
services. The Fund's expenses in the table are shown as a percentage of the
Fund's net assets. These expenses are deducted from Fund assets.

Investment Objective Total return through capital

Principal Investments Broadly diversified group of U.S.
common stocks of large capitalization companies
Fund Manager Retirement System Investors Inc.
Who May Want to Invest Investors who want the value of
their investment to grow with the potential of receiving
dividend income.
Investment Strategies The Growth and Income Fund invests
primarily in U.S. common stocks of large capitalization
companies. The Fund selects stocks that it believes will
appreciate in value, seeking to take advantage of temporary
stock price inefficiencies, which may be caused by market
participants focusing heavily on short-term developments.
In selecting stocks for the Fund, the Fund Manager employs a "value-oriented"
strategy. This means that the Fund Manager attempts to identify stocks of
companies that have greater value than is recognized by the market generally.
The Fund Manager considers a number of factors, such as sales, growth and
profitability prospects for the economic sector and markets in which the company
operates and sells its products and services, the company's stock market price,
earnings level and projected earnings growth rate. The Fund Manager also
considers current and projected dividend yields. The Fund Manager compares this
information to that of other companies in determining relative value and
dividend potential.
Principal Risks The Fund invests primarily in U.S. common stocks. As a result,
the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or
extended periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of
rising prices and periods of falling prices. This price volatility is the
principal risk of investing in the Fund.

Investment Objective Long-term capital appreciation
Principal Investments U.S. common stocks
Fund Manager OpCap Advisors
Who May Want To Invest Investors who want the value of
their investment to grow but do not need to receive income
on their investment.
Investment Strategies The Equity Fund invests primarily in
U.S. common stocks of companies that meet the Fund
Manager's criteria of high return on investment capital,
strong positions within their industries, sound financial
fundamentals and management committed to shareholder
interests. The Fund Manager selects companies with one or
more of the following characteristics: substantial and
growing discretionary cash flow, strong shareholder value-oriented management,
valuable consumer or commercial franchises, high return on capital, favorable
price to intrinsic value, and under-valued assets. The Fund Manager also imposes
a strict sell discipline to sell the stock once it rises close to the target
price established by the Fund Manager.
Principal Risks The Fund invests primarily in U.S. common stocks. As a result,
the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or
extended periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of
rising prices and periods of falling prices. This price volatility is the
principal risk of investing in the Fund.

ENTERPRISE EQUITY INCOME FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective A combination of growth and income to
achieve an above-average and consistent total return
Principal Investments Dividend-paying U.S. common stocks
Fund Manager 1740 Advisers, Inc.
Who May Want To Invest Investors who want the value of
their investment to grow, with the potential of receiving
dividend income.
Investment Strategies The Equity Income Fund invests
primarily in dividend-paying U.S. common stocks. The goal
is capital appreciation combined with a high level of
current income. Dividend yield relative to the S&P 500
average is used as a discipline and measure of value in
selecting stocks for the Fund. To qualify for a purchase, a
stock's yield must be greater than the S&P 500's average
dividend yield. The stock must be sold within two quarters
after its dividend yield falls below that of the S&P average. The effect of this
discipline is that a stock will be sold if increases in its annual dividends do
not keep pace with increases in its market price.
Principal Risks The Fund invests primarily in U.S. common stocks. As a result,
the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or
extended periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of
rising prices and periods of falling prices. This price volatility is the
principal risk of investing in the Fund.

invests in U.S. common stocks of companies that demonstrate
accelerating earnings momentum and consistently strong
financial characteristics. The Fund Manager's criteria for
stock selection include: (a) steadily increasing earnings;
and (b) a three-year performance record of sales, earnings,
dividend growth, pretax margins, return on equity and
reinvestment rate which, in the aggregate, average 1.5 times the average
performance of the S&P 500 for the same period. The Fund Manager selects stocks
of small, medium and large capitalization companies in an attempt to achieve an
average capitalization of portfolio companies that is less than the average
capitalization of the S&P 500. The potential for maximum capital appreciation is
the basis for investment decisions; any income is incidental.
Principal Risks The Fund's investment universe consists of large, medium and
small capitalization common stocks. As a result, the Fund is subject to the risk
that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. Stock
markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of
falling prices. This price volatility is the principal risk of investing in the
Fund. In addition, small- to mid-sized companies may be more vulnerable to
adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In
particular, these companies may have somewhat limited product lines, markets and
financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small- to medium-sized
management group.

ENTERPRISE MULTI-CAP GROWTH FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective Long-term capital appreciation
Principal Investments Equity securities, such as common or
preferred stocks, which are listed on U.S. exchanges or
traded in the over-the-counter market
Fund Manager Fred Alger Management, Inc.
Who may want to Invest Investors who want an increase in
the value of their investment without regard to income; are
willing to accept the increased risk of investing in small
and medium company stocks for the possibility of higher
returns; and want to diversify their portfolio to include
small, medium and large company stocks.
Investment Strategies The Multi-Cap Growth Fund invests
primarily in growth stocks. The Fund Manager believes that
these companies tend to fall into one of two categories:
High Unit Volume Growth and Positive Life Cycle Change.
High Unit Volume Growth companies are those vital, creative
companies that offer goods or services to a rapidly
expanding marketplace. They include both established and emerging firms,
offering new or improved products, or firms simply fulfilling an increased
demand for an existing line. Positive Life Cycle Change companies are those
companies experiencing a major change that is expected to produce advantageous
results. These changes may be as varied as new management; products or
technologies; restructuring or reorganization; or merger and acquisition. The
Fund can leverage, that is, borrow money, to buy additional securities for its
portfolio. By borrowing money, the Fund has the potential to increase its
returns if the increase in the value of the securities purchase exceeds the cost
of borrowing, including the interest paid on the money borrowed.
Principal Risks As a result of investing primarily in U.S. common stocks, the
Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended
periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising
prices and periods of falling prices. This price volatility is the principal
risk of investing in the Fund. Moreover, because of large investments in
mid-capitalization, small-capitalization and/or emerging growth companies, the
Fund is riskier than large-capitalization funds since such companies typically
have greater earnings fluctuations and greater reliance on a few key customers
than larger companies.
In addition, the cost of borrowing money to leverage may exceed the returns for
the securities purchased or the securities purchased may actually go down in
value; thus, the Fund's net asset value could decrease more quickly than if it
had not borrowed.

ENTERPRISE SMALL COMPANY GROWTH FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective Capital appreciation
Principal Investments U.S. common stocks of small
capitalization companies
Fund Manager William D. Witter, Inc.
Who May Want To Invest Investors who want an increase in
the value of their investment without regard to income; are
willing to accept the increased risk of investing in small
company stocks for the possibility of higher returns; and
want to diversify their portfolio to include small company
stocks.
Investment Strategies The Small Company Growth Fund
invests primarily in common stocks of small capitalization
companies with above-average growth characteristics that
are reasonably valued. The Fund Manager uses a disciplined
approach in evaluating growth companies. It relates the
expected growth rate in earnings to the price-earnings
ratio of the stock. Generally, the Fund Manager will not
buy a stock if its price-earnings ratio exceeds its growth
rate. By using this valuation parameter, the Fund Manager
believes it moderates some of the inherent volatility in the small
capitalization sector of the market. Securities will be sold when the Fund
Manager believes the stock price exceeds the valuation criteria, or when the
stock appreciates to a point where it is substantially overweighted in the
portfolio, or when the company no longer meets expectations. The Fund Manager's
goal is to hold a stock for a minimum of one year but this may not always be
feasible and there may be times when short-term gains or losses will be
realized.
Principal Risks The Fund invests primarily in common stocks. As a result, the
Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended
periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising
prices and periods of falling prices. This price volatility is the principal
risk of investing in the Fund. In addition, the Fund invests primarily in
small-sized companies which may be more vulnerable to adverse business or
economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular,
small-sized companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial
resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group.

Fund Manager Gabelli Asset Management Company (GAMCO
Investors, Inc.)
Who May Want To Invest Investors who want an increase in
the value of their investment without regard to income; are
willing to accept the increased risk of investing in small
company stocks for the possibility of higher returns; and
want to diversify their portfolio to include small company
stocks.
Investment Strategies The Small Company Value Fund invests
primarily in common stocks of small capitalization
companies that the Fund Manager believes are
undervalued -- that is, the stock's market price does not
fully reflect the company's value. The Fund Manager uses a
proprietary research technique to determine which stocks
have a market price that is less than the "private market
value" or what a private investor would pay for the company. The Fund Manager
then determines whether there is an emerging valuation catalyst that will focus
investor attention on the underlying assets of the company and increase the
market price. Smaller companies may be subject to a valuation catalyst such as
increased investor attention, takeover efforts or a change in management.
Principal Risks The Fund invests primarily in common stocks. As a result, the
Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended
periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising
prices and periods of falling prices. This price volatility is the principal
risk of investing in the Fund. In addition, the Fund invests primarily in
small-sized companies which may be more vulnerable to adverse business or

Who May Want To Invest Investors who want an increase in
the value of their investment without regard to income; and

investing for the possibility of higher returns.
Investment Strategies The International Growth Fund
invests primarily in non-U.S. equity securities that the
Fund Manager believes are undervalued. The Fund Manager
uses an approach that involves bottom-up stock selection.
The Fund Manager looks for companies that are good
predictable businesses selling at attractive prices
relative to an estimate of intrinsic value. The Fund
Manager diversifies investments among European, Australian
and Far East ("EAFE") markets.
Principal Risks The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of foreign
companies. As a result, the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will
fall over short or extended periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in
cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. This price
volatility is the principal risk of investing in the Fund. In addition,
investments in foreign markets may be more volatile than investments in U.S.
markets. Diplomatic, political or economic developments may cause foreign
investments to lose money. The value of the U.S. dollar may rise, causing
reduced returns for U.S. persons investing abroad. A foreign country may not
have the same accounting and financial reporting standards as the U.S. Foreign
stock markets, brokers and companies are generally subject to less supervision
and regulation than their U.S. counterparts. Emerging market securities may be
even more susceptible to these risks.

ENTERPRISE GLOBAL FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective Capital appreciation
Principal Investments Common stocks of domestic and
foreign financial services companies
Fund Manager Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., Inc.
Who May Want To Invest Investors who want an increase in
the value of their investment without regard to income;
want investment in the global financial services sector;
and are willing to accept the increased risk of
international investing for the possibility of higher
returns.
Investment Strategies The Global Financial Services Fund
invests primarily in the domestic and foreign financial
services industry by normally investing in companies domiciled in the U.S. and
in at least three other countries. The Fund considers a financial services
company to be a firm that in its most recent fiscal year either (i) derived at
least 50% of its revenues or earnings from financial services activities, or
(ii) devoted at least 50% of its assets to such activities. Financial services
companies provide financial services to consumers and businesses and include the
following types of U.S. and foreign firms: commercial banks, thrift institutions
and their holding companies; consumer and industrial finance companies;
diversified financial services companies; investment banks; securities brokerage
and investment advisory firms; financial technology companies; real
estate-related firms; leasing firms; credit card companies; government sponsored
financial enterprises; investment companies; insurance brokerages; and various
firms in all segments of the insurance industry such as multi- line property and
casualty, life insurance companies and insurance holding companies. The Fund
Manager selects securities by combining fundamental and quantitative research to
identify securities of financial services companies that are attractively priced
relative to their expected returns. Its research analysts employ a long-term
approach to forecasting the earnings and growth potential of companies and
attempt to construct global portfolios that produce maximum returns at a given
risk level.
Principal Risks The Fund invests in common stocks of domestic and foreign
companies. As a result, the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will
fall over short or extended periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in
cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. This price
volatility is a principal risk of investing in the Fund. In addition,
investments in foreign markets may be more volatile than investments in U.S.
markets. Diplomatic, political or economic developments may cause foreign
investments to lose money. The value of the U.S. dollar may rise, causing
reduced returns for U.S. persons investing abroad. A foreign country may not
have the same accounting and financial reporting standards as the U.S. Foreign
stock markets, brokers and companies are generally subject to less supervision
and regulation than their U.S. counterparts. Emerging market securities may be
even more susceptible to these risks. Because the Fund concentrates in a single
industry sector, its performance is largely dependent on the sector's
performance, which may differ from that of the overall stock market. Generally,
the financial services industry is extremely sensitive to fluctuations in
interest rates. Moreover, while rising interest rates will cause a decline in
the value of any debt securities the Fund holds, falling interest rates or
deteriorating economic conditions can adversely affect the performance of
financial services companies' stock. Both foreign and domestic financial
services companies are affected by government regulation or market intervention,
which may limit their activities and affect their profitability. Some financial
services companies, e.g., insurance companies, are subject to severe market
share and price competition.

ENTERPRISE INTERNET FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective Long-term capital appreciation
Principal Investments Equity securities, including common
stocks, preferred stocks, warrants and other securities
convertible into common stock of companies primarily
engaged in Internet, Intranet and other "high tech" related
activities
Fund Manager Fred Alger Management, Inc.
Who may want to invest Investors who want an increase in
the value of their investment without regard to income and
want to diversify their overall portfolio with a
concentrated investment in companies engaged in Internet
and Intranet and other "high tech" related activities.
Investment Strategies Under normal conditions, the
Internet Fund will invest at least 65% of its assets in
equity securities. In choosing which companies' stock the
Fund should purchase, the Fund Manager invests in those
companies listed on a U.S. securities exchange or NASDAQ
that are engaged in the research, design, development or manufacturing, or, to a
significant extent, in the business of distributing products, processes or
services for use with Internet or Intranet related businesses. The Fund may also
invest in other "high tech" companies. The Internet is a world-wide network of
computers designed to permit users to share information and transfer data
quickly and easily. The World Wide Web ("WWW"), which is a means of graphically
interfacing with the Internet, is a hyper-text based publishing medium
containing text, graphics, interactive feedback mechanisms and links within WWW
documents and to other WWW documents. An Intranet is the application of WWW
tools and concepts to a company's internal documents and databases. Other "high
tech" companies may include firms in the computer, communications, video,
electronic, office and factory automation and robotics sector.
Principal Risks As a result of investing primarily in U.S. common stocks, the
Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended
periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising
prices and periods of falling prices. This price volatility is the principal
risk of investing in the Fund. Moreover, because of large investments in
mid-capitalization, small-capitalization and/or emerging growth companies, the
Fund is riskier than large-capitalization funds since such companies typically
have greater earnings fluctuations and greater reliance on a few key customers
than larger companies. In addition, the value of companies engaged in Internet,
Intranet and other "high tech" related activities is particularly vulnerable to
rapidly changing technology, extensive government regulation and relatively high
risks of obsolescence caused by scientific and technological advances. As a
result, the value of the Fund's shares may fluctuate more than shares of a fund
investing in a broader range of industries.
FEES AND EXPENSES
This table describes the shareholder fees that you may pay if you purchase or
redeem Fund shares. Every mutual fund has operating expenses which may pay for
professional advisory, shareholder, distribution, administration and custody
services. The Fund's expenses in the table are shown as a percentage of the
Fund's net assets. The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the Fund's
expenses through May 1, 2000, to the expense ratios noted in the table below.

ENTERPRISE GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective Current income and safety of
principal
Principal Investments Securities that are obligations of
the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities
Fund Manager TCW Funds Management, Inc.
Who May Want to Invest Conservative investors who want to
receive income from their investment
Investment Strategies The Government Securities Fund
invests primarily in securities that are obligations of the
U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. The
Fund's investments may include securities issued by the
U.S. Treasury, such as treasury bills, treasury notes and
treasury bonds. In addition, the Fund may invest in
securities that are issued or guaranteed by agencies and
instrumentalities of the U.S. Government. Securities issued
by agencies or instrumentalities may or may not be backed
by the full faith and credit of the United States.
Securities issued by the Government National Mortgage
Association ("GNMA Certificates") are examples of full faith and credit
securities. Agencies or instrumentalities whose securities are not backed by the
full faith and credit of the United States include Federal National Mortgage
Association (FANNIE MAE) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (FREDDIE MAC). To
a limited extent, the Fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities, including
collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"). The Fund may concentrate from time
to time in different U.S. Government securities in order to obtain the highest
available level of current income and safety of principal.
Principal Risks The Government Securities Fund invests primarily in U.S.
Government debt securities. As a result, the Fund is subject to the risk that
the prices of debt securities will decline due to rising interest rates. This
risk is greater for long-term debt securities than for short-term debt
securities. To the extent that the Fund invests in mortgage-backed securities,
it is subject to additional risk. A mortgage-backed security pools all interest
and principal payments from the underlying mortgages and pays it to the
security's owner. The mortgages underlying mortgage-backed securities may mature
or be paid off before the stated maturity date. This has a number of drawbacks.
First, the Fund may lose money on its investment. Second, the monthly income
payments to the Fund may fluctuate. Third, the Fund cannot predict the maturity
of its investment with certainty. Fourth, the Fund would invest any resulting
proceeds elsewhere, generally at a lower interest rate.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

ENTERPRISE HIGH-YIELD BOND FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective Maximum current income
Principal Investments Debt securities rated below
investment grade, which are commonly known as "junk bonds"
Fund Manager Caywood-Scholl Capital Management
Who May Want to Invest Income-oriented investors who are
willing to accept increased risk for the possibility of
greater returns through high-yield bond investing.
Investment Strategies The High-Yield Bond Fund invests
primarily in high-yielding, income-producing U.S. corporate
bonds rated B3 to Ba1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's") or B- to BB+ by Standard & Poor's Corporation
("S&P"), which are commonly known as "junk bonds." The
Fund's investments are selected by the Fund Manager after
careful examination of the economic outlook to determine
those industries that appear favorable for investment.
Industries going through a perceived decline generally are not candidates for
selection. After the industries are selected, the Fund Manager identifies bonds
of issuers within those industries based on their creditworthiness, their yields
in relation to their credit and the relative value in relation to the high-yield
market. Companies near or in bankruptcy are not considered for investment. The
Fund does not purchase bonds which are rated Ca or lower by Moody's or CC or
lower by S&P or which, if unrated, in the judgment of the Fund Manager have
characteristics of such lower-grade bonds. Should an investment be subsequently
downgraded to Ca or lower or CC or lower, the Fund Manager has discretion to
hold or liquidate the security. Subject to the restrictions described above,
under normal circumstances, up to 20% of the Fund's assets may include: (1)
bonds rated Caa by Moody's or CCC by S&P; (2) unrated debt securities which, in
the judgment of the Fund Manager have characteristics similar to those described
above; (3) convertible debt securities; (4) puts, calls and futures as hedging
devices; (5) foreign issuer debt securities; and (6) short-term money market
instruments, including certificates of deposit, commercial paper, U.S.
Government securities and other income-producing cash equivalents.
Principal Risks The Fund invests primarily in below investment-grade debt
securities. As a result, the Fund is subject to the risk that the prices of the
debt securities will decline due to rising interest rates. This risk is greater
for long-term debt securities than for short-term debt securities. A high-yield
bond's market price may fluctuate more than higher-quality securities and may
decline significantly. High-yield bonds also carry a substantial risk of default
or changes in the issuer's creditworthiness. In addition, it may be more
difficult for the Fund to dispose of high-yield bonds or to determine their
value. High-yield bonds may contain redemption or call provisions that, if
exercised during a period of declining interest rates, may force the Fund to
replace the security with a lower-yielding security. If this occurs, it will
result in a decreased return for shareholders.

The bar chart and the performance table illustrate the volatility of an
investment in the Fund and give some indication of the risk. Of course, the

ENTERPRISE TAX-EXEMPT INCOME FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective A high level of current income exempt
from federal income tax, with consideration given to
preservation of principal
Principal Investments A diversified portfolio of long-term
investment grade municipal bonds
Fund Manager MBIA Capital Management Corp.
Who May Want To Invest Investors who want to receive
tax-free current income and maintain the value of their
investment.
Investment Strategies The Tax-Exempt Income Fund invests
primarily in investment grade, tax-exempt municipal
securities. The issuers of these securities may be located
in any state, territory or possession of the United States.
In selecting investments for the Fund, the Fund Manager
tries to limit risk as much as possible. The Fund Manager
analyzes municipalities, their credit risk, market trends and investment cycles.
The Fund Manager attempts to identify and invest in municipal issuers with
improving credit and avoid those with deteriorating credit. The Fund anticipates
that its average weighted maturity will range from 10 to 25 years. The Fund
Manager will actively manage the Fund, adjusting the average Fund maturity and
utilizing futures contracts and options on futures as a defensive measure
according to its judgment of anticipated interest rates. During periods of
rising interest rates and falling prices, the Fund Manager may adopt a shorter
weighted average maturity to cushion the effect of bond price declines on the
Fund's net asset value. When rates are falling and prices are rising, the Fund
Manager may adopt a longer weighted average maturity. The Fund may also invest
up to 20% of its net assets in cash, cash equivalents and debt securities, the
interest from which may be subject to federal income tax. Investments in taxable
securities will be limited to investment grade corporate debt securities and
U.S. Government securities. The Fund will not invest more than 20% of its net
assets in municipal securities, the interest on which is subject to the federal
alternative minimum tax.
Principal Risks The Fund invests primarily in long-term investment grade debt
securities. As a result, the Fund is subject to the risk that the prices of debt
securities will decline due to rising interest rates. This risk is greater for
long-term debt securities than for short-term debt securities. Debt securities
may decline in credit quality due to economic or governmental events. In
addition, an issuer may fail to make timely payments of principal or interest to
the Fund. Some investment grade bonds may have speculative characteristics.

ENTERPRISE BALANCED FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective Long-term total return
Principal Investments A combination of equity, fixed
income and short-term securities
Fund Manager Montag & Caldwell, Inc.
Who may want to Invest Investors who want the value of
their investment to grow and also want to receive income on
their investment
Investment Strategies Generally, between 55% and 75% of
the Balanced Fund's total assets will be invested in equity
securities. The portfolio allocation will vary based upon
the Fund Manager's assessment of the return potential of
each asset class. For equity investments, the Fund Manager
uses a bottom-up approach to stock selection, focusing on
high quality, well-established companies that have a strong
history of earnings growth; attractive prices relative to
the company's potential for above average; long-term
earnings and revenue growth; strong balance sheets; a sustainable competitive
advantage; the potential to become (or currently are) industry leaders; and the
potential to outperform the market during downturns. When selecting fixed income
securities, the Fund Manager will seek to maintain the Fund's weighted average
duration within 20% of the duration of the Lehman Brothers Government Corporate
Index. Emphasis is also placed on diversification and credit analysis. The Fund
will only invest in fixed income securities with an "A" or better rating. Fixed
income investments will include: U.S. Government securities; corporate bonds;
mortgage/asset-backed securities; and money market securities and repurchase
agreements.
Principal Risks The Fund invests in both common stocks and debt securities. As
a result, the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short
or extended periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods
of rising prices and periods of falling prices. This price volatility is a
principal risk of investing in the Fund. In addition, the Fund is subject to the
risk that the prices of debt securities will decline due to rising interest
rates. The risk is greater for long-term debt securities than for short-term
debt securities. Debt securities may decline in credit quality due to events
related to the issuer as well as to general economic or governmental events.

ENTERPRISE MANAGED FUND
FUND PROFILE
Investment Objective Growth of capital over time
Principal Investments Common stocks, bonds and cash

the Fund Manager's assessment of relative investment values
Fund Manager OpCap Advisors
Who May Want to Invest Investors who want the value of
their investment to grow but do not need to receive income
on their investment.
Investment Strategies The Managed Fund invests in a
diversified portfolio of common stocks, bonds and cash
equivalents. The allocation of the Fund's assets among the
different types of permitted investments will vary from
time to time based upon the Fund Manager's evaluation of
economic and market trends and its perception of the
relative values available from such types of securities at any given time. There
is neither a minimum nor a maximum percentage of the Fund's assets that may, at
any given time, be invested in any specific types of investments. However, the
Fund invests primarily in equity securities at times when the Fund Manager
believes that the best investment values are available in the equity markets.
The Fund may invest almost all of its assets in high-quality short-term money
market and cash equivalent securities when the Fund Manager deems it advisable
to preserve capital. Consequently, while the Fund will earn income to the extent
it is invested in bonds or cash equivalents, the Fund does not have any specific
income objective. The bonds in which the Fund may invest will normally be
investment grade intermediate to long-term U.S. Government and corporate debt.
Principal Risks The Fund invests in both common stocks and debt securities. As
a result, the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short
or extended periods of time. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods
of rising prices and periods of falling prices. This price volatility is a
principal risk of investing in the Fund. In addition, the Fund is subject to the
risk that the prices of debt securities will decline due to rising interest
rates. The risk is greater for long-term debt securities than for short-term
debt securities. Debt securities may decline in credit quality due to factors
affecting the issuer and economic or political events.

(1) Each Fund that invests in U.S. stocks may invest in large capitalization
companies, medium capitalization companies and small capitalization
companies. Large capitalization companies generally have market
capitalizations of over $5 billion. Medium capitalization companies
generally have market capitalizations ranging from $1 billion to $5 billion.
Small capitalization companies generally have market capitalizations of $1
billion or less. However, there may be some overlap among capitalization
categories. The Growth, Growth and Income, Equity, Equity Income Balanced
and Managed Funds intend to invest primarily in stocks of
large-capitalization companies. The Small Company Growth Fund and the Small
Company Value Fund intend to invest primarily in the stocks of
small-capitalization issuers. The Multi-Cap Growth and Internet Funds intend
to invest in large, medium and small capitalization companies.
Each Fund also may invest in other securities, use other strategies and
engage in other investment practices, which are described in detail in the
Statement of Additional Information. Of course, Enterprise cannot guarantee that
any Fund will achieve its investment goal.
The investments listed above and the investments and strategies described
throughout this Prospectus are those that a Fund may use under normal
conditions. During unusual economic or market conditions or for temporary
defensive or liquidity purposes, each Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets
in cash, money market instruments, repurchase agreements and short-term
obligations. When a Fund is investing for temporary defensive purposes, it is
not pursuing its investment goal.

MONEY MARKET FUND'S INVESTMENTS
The Money Market Fund's principal investments include: bank obligations,
commercial paper and corporate obligations. The Fund also may invest in other
securities, use other strategies and engage in other investment practices, which
are described in detail in our Statement of Additional Information. Of course,
we cannot guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal or maintain a
stable share price of $1.00.
YEAR 2000
Many computer and computer-based systems cannot distinguish the year 2000
from the year 1900 because of the way they encode and calculate dates (commonly
known as the "Year 2000 Issue"). The Year 2000 Issue could potentially have an
adverse impact on the handling of security trades, the payment of interest and
dividends, pricing and account services. As part of its operational
responsibilities, the Advisor has reviewed each of its internal systems and has
obtained assessments from each service provider, including Fund Managers, of
Year 2000 issues which could potentially impact services to the Fund. The
Advisor is unaware of any Year 2000 issues which remain unresolved or have been
identified as unresolvable. In addition, the Advisor has established a timetable
to periodically re-evaluate systems to ensure new issues or those which may not
previously have been identified are addressed and resolved in an expeditious
manner. The Advisor does not anticipate any material expenditures for monitoring
Year 2000 issues. If the problem has not been fully addressed, however, the
Funds could be negatively affected. The Year 2000 Issue could also have a
negative impact on the companies in which the Funds invest, including foreign
issuers or associated foreign governments, which could hurt the Funds'
investment returns.
EURO CONVERSION
Effective January 1, 1999, several European countries irrevocably fixed
their existing national currencies to a new single European currency unit, the
"euro." Certain European investments may be subject to additional risks as a
result of this conversion. These risks include adverse tax and accounting
consequences, as well as difficulty in processing transactions. The Advisor is
aware of such potential problems and is coordinating efforts to prevent or
alleviate their adverse impact on the Funds. There can be no assurance that the
Funds will not suffer any adverse consequences as a result of the euro
conversion.

RISK TERMINOLOGY
CORRELATION RISK: the risk that changes in the value of a hedging
instrument will not match that of the asset being hedged (hedging is the use of
one investment to offset the effects of another investment). Incomplete
correlation can result in unanticipated risks.
CREDIT RISK: the risk that the issuer of a security, or the counterparty
to a contract, will default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial
obligation.
CURRENCY RISK: the risk that fluctuations in the exchange rates between
the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect an investment.
Adverse changes in exchange rates may erode or reverse any gains produced by
foreign currency denominated investments and may increase any losses.
INFORMATION RISK: the risk that key information about a security or market
is inaccurate or unavailable.
INTEREST RATE RISK: the risk of market losses attributable to changes in
interest rates. With fixed-rate securities, a rise in interest rates typically
causes a fall in values, while a fall in rates typically causes a rise in
values.
LEVERAGE RISK: the risk associated with securities or practices (such as
borrowing) that multiply small index or market movements into large changes in
value.
Hedged. When a derivative (a security whose value is based on another
security or index) is used as a hedge against an opposite position that the
Fund also holds, any loss generated by the derivative should be
substantially offset by gains on the hedged investment, and vice versa.
While hedging can reduce or eliminate losses, it can also reduce or
eliminate gains.
Speculative. To the extent that a derivative is not used as a hedge,
a Fund is directly exposed to the risks of that derivative. Gains or losses
from speculative positions in a derivative may be substantially greater
than the derivative's original cost.
LIQUIDITY RISK: the risk that certain securities may be difficult or
impossible to sell at the time and the price that the seller would like. The
seller may have to lower the price, sell other securities instead or forego an
investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund
management or performance.
MARKET RISK: the risk that the market value of a security may move up or
down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may cause a
security to be worth less than the price originally paid for it, or less than it
was worth at an earlier time. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry,
sector of the economy or the market as a whole and is common to all stocks and
bonds and the mutual funds that invest in them.
NATURAL EVENT RISK: the risk of losses attributable to natural disasters,
crop failures and similar events.
OPPORTUNITY RISK: the risk of missing out on an investment opportunity
because the assets necessary to take advantage of it are tied up in other less
advantageous investments.
POLITICAL RISK: the risk of losses attributable to government or political
actions. Political risks range from changes in tax or trade statutes to
governmental collapse and war.
VALUATION RISK: the risk that a Fund has valued certain of its securities
at a higher price than it can sell them for.

SHAREHOLDER ACCOUNT INFORMATION
CLASS Y SHARES
Each Fund offers Class Y shares through this Prospectus for the minimum
initial purchase amount of $1,000,000. Class Y shares do not bear a sales
charge, distribution or service fee. The Internet Fund, however, is designed for
long term investors. If you sell Class Y shares of the Internet Fund within 6
months of purchase, you will be subject to a redemption fee of 2.0% of the net
asset value of the shares redeemed. The aim of this fee is to discourage short
term trading in shares of the Internet Fund. Class Y shares are offered
exclusively for sale to institutional investors, including banks, savings
institutions, trust companies, insurance companies, investment companies
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, pension or profit sharing
trusts, certain wrap account clients of broker/dealers, former shareholders of
Retirement System Fund, Inc. ("RS Fund"), direct referrals of Fund Managers or
Evaluation Associates, Inc. ("EAI") or other financial institutional buyers.
Wrap account clients of broker/dealers, former RS Fund shareholders, and direct
referrals of Fund Managers or EAI are offered Class Y shares at a lower minimum
purchase amount.
DEALER COMPENSATION
Enterprise Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a subsidiary of
Enterprise Capital Management, Inc., the Advisor to the Funds, is the principal
underwriter for shares of the Funds.
The Distributor will provide additional compensation to dealers in
connection with sales of shares of the Funds and other mutual funds distributed
by the Distributor including promotional gifts (which may include gift
certificates, dinners and other items), financial assistance to dealers in
connection with conferences, sales or training programs for their employees,
seminars for the public and advertising campaigns. In some instances, these
incentives may be made available only to dealers whose representatives have sold
or are expected to sell significant amounts of shares.
In addition to distribution and service fees paid the Funds under plans of
distribution for Class Y, the Distributor (or one of its affiliates) may make
payments to dealers (including MONY Securities Corp.) and other persons which
distribute shares of the Funds. Such payments may be calculated by reference to
the net asset value of shares sold by such persons or otherwise.

TRANSACTION AND ACCOUNT POLICIES
VALUATION OF SHARES
When you purchase shares, you pay the net asset value. When you redeem your
shares, you receive the net asset value. The Funds calculate a share's net asset
value by dividing net assets of each Class by the total number of outstanding
shares of such Class.
The Funds calculate net asset value at the close of regular trading on each
day the New York Stock Exchange is open.
Except with respect to the Money Market Fund, investment securities, other
than debt securities, listed on either a national or foreign securities exchange
or traded in the over-the-counter National Market System are valued each
business day at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the
security is primarily traded. If there are no current day sales, the securities
are valued at their last quoted bid price. Other securities traded
over-the-counter and not part of the National Market System are valued at the
last quoted bid price. Debt securities (other than certain short-term
obligations) are valued each business day by an independent pricing service
approved by the Board of Directors. Short-term debt securities having a
remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates market value. Any securities for which market quotations are not
readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors. Securities held by the Money Market Fund are valued on
an amortized cost basis. Under the amortized cost method, a security is valued
at its cost and any discount or premium is amortized over the period until
maturity without taking into account the impact of fluctuating interest rates on
the market value of the security unless the aggregate deviation from net asset
value as calculated by using available market quotations exceeds 1/2 of 1
percent.
The Money Market Fund seeks to maintain a constant net asset value per
share of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that the Money Market Fund will be
able to do so.
Because Class Y shares are not subject to any distribution or service fees,
the net asset value per share of the Class Y shares will generally be higher
than the net asset value per share of Class A, Class B and Class C shares of
each Fund, except following payment of dividends and distributions.
EXECUTION OF REQUESTS
The net asset value used in determining your purchase, redemption or
exchange price is the one next calculated after your order is received by the
Fund. The Distributor or the Fund may reject any order. From time to time, the
Funds may suspend the sale of shares. In such event, existing shareholders
normally will be permitted to continue to purchase additional shares of the same
Class and to have dividends reinvested.
The Funds normally pay redemption proceeds in cash. However, if a Fund
determines that it would be detrimental to the best interests of the remaining
shareholders of the Fund to make payment of redemption proceeds wholly or partly
in cash, the Fund may pay the redemption price in securities (redemption in
kind), in which case, you would probably have to pay brokerage costs to sell the
securities distributed to you, as well as taxes on any capital gains from the
sale as with any redemption. The Funds have made an election that requires them
to pay $250,000 of redemption proceeds in cash, subject to other restrictions as
described in the Statement of Additional Information.
TELEPHONE TRANSACTIONS
If you elect to exchange or redeem your shares by telephone, you are
subject to the risk that neither the Funds nor the Transfer Agent will be liable
for properly acting upon unauthorized telephone instructions believed to be
genuine. The Funds use reasonable procedures to confirm that telephone
instructions are genuine. However, if appropriate measures are not taken, the
Funds may be liable for any losses that may occur to an account due to an
unauthorized telephone call.
46
<PAGE> 133
EXCHANGES AND REDEMPTIONS
The Funds may refuse to allow the exercise of the exchange privilege in
less than two-week intervals or may restrict an exchange from any Fund until
shares have been held in that Fund for at least seven days. The Funds may also
discontinue or modify the exchange privilege on a prospective basis at any time,
including a modification of the amount or terms of a service fee, upon notice to
shareholders in accordance with applicable rules adopted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Your exchange may be processed only if the shares
of the Fund to be acquired are eligible for sale in your state and if the
exchange privilege may be legally offered in your state.
In addition, if a Fund determines that an investor is using market timing
strategies or making excessive exchanges or redemptions and immediate loss of
redemption proceeds would harm the Fund, the Fund may delay investment of the
proceeds of such investor's exchange request for up to seven days. Funds also
may refuse any exchange orders.
SHARE CERTIFICATES
The Funds do not ordinarily issue certificates representing shares of the
Funds. Instead, shares are held on deposit for shareholders by the Funds'
Transfer Agent, which will send you a statement of shares owned in each Fund
following each transaction in your account. If you wish to have certificates for
your shares, you may request them from the Transfer Agent by writing to
Enterprise Shareholder Services, P.O. Box 419731, Kansas City, MO 64141-6731.
The Funds do not issue certificates for fractional shares. You may redeem or
exchange certificated shares only by returning the certificates to the Fund,
along with a letter of instruction and a signature guarantee. Special
shareholder services such as telephone redemptions, exchanges, electronic funds
transfers and wire orders are not available if you hold certificates.
SMALL ACCOUNTS
For accounts with balances under $1,000, an annual service charge of $25
per account registration per Fund will apply, excluding Automatic Bank Draft
Plan Accounts, Automatic Investment Plan Accounts, Retirement Accounts and
Savings Plan Accounts.
If your account balance drops to $500 or less, a Fund may close out your
account and mail you the proceeds. You will always be given at least 45 days
written notice to give you time to add to your account and avoid redeeming your
shares.

DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
Each Fund will distribute substantially all of its net investment income
and realized net capital gains, if any.
Each Fund makes distributions of capital gains, if any, annually. Each Fund
declares and pays dividends of investment income according to the following
schedule:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

Capital Appreciation Fund Money Market Fund
Multi-Cap Growth Fund
Small Company Growth Fund
Small Company Value Fund
International Growth Fund
Internet Fund
Global Financial Services
Fund
Managed Fund
</TABLE>
Your dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, will be
automatically reinvested in shares of the same Fund and Class on which they were
paid at the net asset value. Such reinvestments automatically occur on the
payment date of such dividends and capital gains distributions. Alternatively,
if you contact the Transfer Agent, you may elect to receive dividends or capital
gains distributions, or both, in cash.
You will pay tax on dividends and distributions from the Funds whether you
receive them in cash or additional shares. The Funds intend to make
distributions that will either be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains. If,
for any taxable year, a Fund distributes income from dividends from domestic
corporations, and complies with certain requirements, corporate shareholders may
be entitled to take a dividends -- received deduction for some or all of the
dividends they receive.
If you redeem shares of a Fund or exchange them for shares of another Fund,
unless you are a dealer, you generally will recognize capital gain or loss on
the transaction. Any such gain or loss will be a long-term capital gain or loss,
if you held such shares for more than 12 months. The maximum long-term capital
gain tax rate for individuals is 20%.
Income received by the Funds from investments in securities issued by
foreign issuers may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign
countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may
reduce or eliminate such taxes.
If you are neither a lawful permanent resident nor a citizen of the U.S. or
if you are a foreign entity, the Funds' ordinary income dividends (which include
distributions of net short term capital gains) will generally be subject to a
30% U.S. withholding tax, unless a lower treaty rate applies.
The Funds are required to withhold 31% ("Back-Up Withholding") of the
distributions and the proceeds of redemptions payable to shareholders who fail
to provide a correct social security or taxpayer identification number or to
make required certifications, or who have been notified by the Internal Revenue
Service that they are subject to Back-up Withholding. Corporate shareholders and
certain other shareholders specified in the IRC are exempt from Back-Up
Withholding.
Dividends derived from interest on municipal securities and designated by
the Tax-Exempt Income Fund as exempt interest dividends by written notice to the
shareholders, under existing law, are not subject to federal income tax.
Dividends derived from net capital gains realized by the Fund are taxable to
48
<PAGE> 135
shareholders as a capital gain upon distribution. Any short-term capital gains
or any taxable interest income or accrued market discount realized by the Fund
will be distributed as a taxable ordinary income dividend distribution. These
rules apply whether such distribution is made in cash or in additional shares.
Any capital loss realized from shares held for six months or less is disallowed
to the extent of tax-exempt dividend income received.
Income from certain "private activity" bonds issued after August 7, 1986,
are items of tax preference for the corporate and individual alternative minimum
tax. If the Tax-Exempt Income Fund invests in private activity bonds, you may be
subject to the alternative minimum tax on that part of such Fund distributions
derived from interest income on those bonds. The receipt of exempt interest
dividends also may have additional tax consequences. Certain of these are
described in the Statement of Additional Information.
The treatment for state and local tax purposes of distributions from the
Tax-Exempt Income Fund representing municipal securities interest will vary
according to the laws of state and local taxing authorities.
The foregoing summarizes some of the federal income tax considerations with
respect to the Funds and their shareholders. It is not a substitute for personal
tax advice. You should consult your tax advisor for more information regarding
the potential tax consequences of an investment in the Funds under all
applicable tax laws.
The Funds will mail statements indicating the tax status of your
distributions to you annually.

FUND MANAGEMENT
THE INVESTMENT ADVISOR
Enterprise Capital Management, Inc. serves as the investment advisor to
each of the Funds. The Advisor selects Fund Managers for the Funds, subject to
the approval of the Board of Directors of the Funds, and reviews each Fund
Manager's continued performance. Evaluation Associates, Inc., which has had 26
years of experience in evaluating investment advisors for individuals and
institutional investors, assists the Advisor in selecting Fund Managers. The
Advisor also provides various administrative services and acts as Fund Manager
for the Money Market Fund.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order that
permits the Advisor to enter into or amend Agreements with Fund Managers without
obtaining shareholder approval each time. The exemptive order permits the
Advisor, with Board approval, to employ new Fund Managers for the Funds, change
the terms of the Agreements with Fund Managers or enter into a new Agreement
with a Fund Manager. Shareholders of a Fund have the right to terminate an
Agreement with a Fund Manager at any time by a vote of the majority of the
outstanding voting securities of such Fund. The Funds will notify shareholders
of any Fund Manager changes or other material amendments to the Agreements with
Fund Managers that occur under these arrangements.
The Advisor, which was incorporated in 1986, served as principal investment
advisor to Alpha Fund, Inc., the predecessor of the Fund's Growth Fund. The
Advisor also serves as investment advisor to Enterprise Accumulation Trust which
had assets of $3.962 billion at March 31, 1999. The Advisor's address is Atlanta
Financial Center, 3343 Peachtree Road, N.E., Suite 450, Atlanta, GA 30326.
The following table sets forth the fee paid to the Advisor for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1998 by each Fund. The Advisor in turn compensated each
Fund Manager at no additional cost to the Fund.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY
The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. (the "Corporation"), an open-end
management investment company, was incorporated in Maryland on January 2, 1968,
as Alpha Fund, Inc. On September 14, 1987, the Corporation's name was changed to
The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. and the Corporation's common stock was
divided into nine classes, each of which representing shares of a separate fund
of the Corporation (each a "Fund," and collectively the "Funds"). Effective May
1, 1990, the Corporation added its Money Market Fund. Effective October 1, 1993,
the Corporation added its Small Company Value Fund and effective October 3,
1994, the Corporation added its Managed Fund. Effective May 1, 1995, the
Corporation added Class B and Class Y Shares. Effective May 1, 1997, the
Corporation added Class C Shares and the Equity, Growth and Income and Small
Company Growth Funds. Effective October 1, 1998, the Corporation added its
Global Financial Services Fund. Effective August 25, 1999, the Corporation added
the Multi-Cap Growth Fund, the Internet Fund and the Balanced Fund. Each Fund is
diversified, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The following information is provided for those investors wishing to
have more comprehensive information than that contained in the Prospectus. The
investment objectives of each Fund may not be changed without approval of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of that Fund.
Equity Funds, Domestic Hybrid Funds and Sector Funds
Under normal market conditions, at least 65% of the net asset value of
the eleven Equity, Domestic Hybrid and Sector Funds will be invested in common
equity securities. The remainder of the Equity Funds' assets may be invested in
repurchase agreements, bankers acceptances, bank certificates of deposit,
commercial paper and similar money market instruments, convertible bonds,
convertible preferred stock, preferred stock, corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury,
notes and bonds, American Depository Receipts ("ADRs"), European Depository
Receipts ("EDRs"), rights and warrants.
The Growth, Growth and Income, Equity, Equity Income, Capital
Appreciation, Multi-Cap Growth, Small Company Growth, Small Company Value,
Global Financial Services, Balanced and Managed Funds invest in securities that
are traded on national securities exchanges and in the over-the-counter market.
Each of these Funds, except the Global Financial Services Fund, may invest up to
20% of its assets in foreign securities provided they are listed on a domestic
or foreign securities exchange or are represented by ADRs or EDRs. The Global
Financial Services Fund may invest over 50% of its assets in foreign securities.
As noted below, the International Growth Fund invests principally in the
securities of foreign issuers listed on recognized foreign exchanges, but may
also invest in securities traded on the over-the-counter market. No Fund may
invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid, including restricted,
securities.
Growth Fund. The objective of the Growth Fund is capital appreciation.
The Fund's common stock selection emphasizes those
<PAGE> 149
companies having growth characteristics, but the Fund's investment policy
recognizes that securities of other companies may be attractive for capital
appreciation purposes by virtue of special developments or depression in price
believed to be temporary. The potential for appreciation of capital is the basis
for investment decisions; any income is incidental.
Growth and Income Fund. The objective of the Growth and Income Fund is
total return through capital appreciation with income as a secondary
consideration. The Fund will invest in securities of companies which the Fund
Manager believes to be financially sound and will consider such factors as the
sales, growth and profitability prospects for the economic sector and markets in
which the company operates and for the services or products it provides; the
financial condition of the company; its ability to meet its liabilities and to
provide income in the form of dividends; the prevailing price of the security;
how that price compares to historical price levels of the security to current
price levels in the general market, and to the prices of competing companies;
projected earnings estimates and projected earnings growth rate of the company,
and the relation of those figures to the current price. The securities held in
the Growth and Income Fund will generally reflect the price volatility of the
broad equity market.
Equity Fund. The investment objective of the Equity Fund is long-term
capital appreciation. The Fund invests in securities (primarily equity
securities) of companies that are believed by the Fund Manager to be undervalued
in the marketplace in relation to factors such as the companies' assets or
earnings. It is the Fund Manager's intention to invest in securities of
companies which in the Fund Manager's opinion possess one or more of the
following characteristics: undervalued assets, valuable consumer or commercial
franchises, securities valuation below peer companies, substantial and growing
cash flow and/or a favorable price to book value relationship. Investment
policies aimed at achieving the Fund's objective are set in a flexible framework
of securities selection which primarily includes equity securities, such as
common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, rights and warrants in
proportions which vary from time to time. Under normal circumstances at least
65% of the Fund's assets will be invested in equity securities. The Fund will
invest primarily in stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange. In addition,
it may also purchase securities listed on other domestic securities exchanges,
securities traded in the domestic over-the-counter market and foreign securities
provided that they are listed on a domestic or foreign securities exchange or
represented by ADRs or EDRs listed on a domestic securities exchange or traded
in the United States over-the-counter market.
Equity Income Fund. The objective of the Equity Income Fund is a
combination of growth and income to achieve an above-average and consistent
total return. The Fund invests primarily in
2
<PAGE> 150
dividend-paying common stocks. Under normal circumstances, at least 65% of the
Fund's total assets will be invested in income-producing equity securities.
The Fund's principal criterion in stock selection is above-average
yield, and it uses this criterion as a discipline to enhance stability and
reduce market risk. Subject to this primary criterion, the Fund invests in
stocks that have relatively low price to earnings ratios or relatively low price
to book value ratios.
Capital Appreciation Fund. The objective of the Capital Appreciation
Fund is maximum capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily in common
stocks of companies that demonstrate accelerating earnings momentum and
consistently strong financial characteristics.
The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of companies which meet the
Fund Manager's criteria of: (a) steadily increasing earnings; and (b) a
three-year average performance record of sales, earnings, dividend growth,
pretax margins, return on equity and reinvestment rate at an aggregate average
of 1.5 times the average performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 common stocks
("S&P 500") for the same period. The Fund attempts to invest in a range of
small, medium and large companies designed to achieve an average capitalization
of the companies in which it invests that is less than the average
capitalization of the S&P 500. The potential for maximum capital appreciation is
the basis for investment decisions; any income is incidental.
Multi-Cap Growth Fund. The Multi-Cap Growth Fund invests primarily in
growth stocks. The Fund Manager believes that these companies tend to fall into
one of two categories: High Unit Volume Growth and Positive Life Cycle Change.
High Unit Volume Growth companies are those vital, creative companies that
offer goods or services to a rapidly expanding marketplace. They include both
established and emerging firms, offering new or improved products, or firms
simply fulfilling an increased demand for an existing line. Positive Life Cycle
Change companies are those companies experiencing a major change that is
expected to produce advantageous results. These changes may be as varied as new
management; products or technologies; restructuring or reorganization; or
merger and acquisition. The Fund can leverage, that is, borrow money, to buy
additional securities for its portfolio. By borrowing money, the Fund has the
potential to increase its returns if the increase in the value of the
securities purchase exceeds the cost of borrowing, including the interest paid
on the money borrowed.
Small Company Growth Fund. The Small Company Growth Fund seeks to
achieve its objective of capital appreciation by investing primarily in common
stocks of small companies with strong earnings growth and potential for
significant capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will
have at least 65% of its total assets in small capitalization stocks (market
capitalization of up to $1 billion) and generally that percentage will be
considerably higher. The Fund reserves the right to have some of its assets in
the equities of companies with over $1 billion in market capitalization. These
holdings may be equities that have appreciated since original purchase or
equities of companies with a market capitalization in excess of $1 billion at
the time of purchase. The Fund will normally be as fully invested as practicable
in common stocks, but also may invest up to 5% of its assets in warrants and
rights to purchase common stocks.
In pursuing its objective, the Fund Manager will seek out the stocks of
small companies that are expected to have above average growth in earnings and
are reasonably valued. The Fund Manager uses a disciplined approach in
evaluating growth companies. It relates the expected growth rate in earnings to
its price-earnings ratio of the stock. Generally, the Fund Manager will not buy
a stock if its price-earnings ratio exceeds its growth rate. By using this
valuation parameter, the Fund Manager believes it moderates some of the inherent
volatility in the small-capitalization sector of the market. Securities will be
sold when the Fund Manager believes the stock price exceeds the valuation
criteria, or when the stock appreciates to a point where it is substantially
overweighted in the portfolio, or when the company no longer meets The Fund
Manager's expectations. The Fund Manager's goal is to
3
<PAGE> 151
hold a stock for a minimum of one year but this may not always be feasible and
there may be times when short-term gains or losses will be realized.
Small Company Value Fund. The objective of the Small Company Value Fund
is maximum capital appreciation. The Fund invests at least 65% of its assets in
the common equity securities of companies (based on the total outstanding common
shares at the time of investment) which have a market capitalization of up to
$1 billion.
The Fund intends to invest the remaining 35% of its total assets in the
same manner but reserves the right to use some or all of the 35% to invest in
equity securities of companies (based on the total outstanding common shares at
the time of investment) which have a market capitalization of more than $1
billion.
In pursuing its objective, the Fund's strategy will be to invest in
stocks of companies with value that may not be fully reflected by the current
stock price. Since small companies tend to be less actively followed by stock
analysts, the market may overlook favorable trends and then adjust its valuation
more quickly once investor interest has surfaced. The Fund Manager uses a number
of proprietary research techniques in various sectors to seek out companies in
the public market that are selling at a discount to what the Fund Manager terms
the private market value (PMV) of the companies. The Fund Manager then
determines whether there is an emerging valuation catalyst that will increase
market price. Smaller companies may be subject to a valuation catalyst such as
increased investor attention, takeover efforts or a change in management.
International Growth Fund. The objective of the International Growth
Fund is capital appreciation. The Fund primarily invests in a diversified
portfolio of non-U.S. equity securities.
It is an operating policy of the Fund that it will invest at least 80%
of its total assets (except when maintaining a temporary defensive position) in
equity securities of companies domiciled outside the United States. That portion
of the Fund not invested in equity securities is, in normal circumstances,
invested in U.S. and foreign government securities, high-grade commercial paper,
certificates of deposit, foreign currency, bankers acceptances, cash and cash
equivalents, time deposits, repurchase agreements and similar money market
instruments, both foreign and domestic. The Fund may invest in convertible debt
securities of foreign issuers which are convertible into equity securities at
such time as a market for equity securities is established in the country
involved.
4
<PAGE> 152
The International Growth Fund will invest primarily in equity securities, which
may achieve capital appreciation by selecting companies with superior potential
based on a series of macro and micro analyses. The International Growth Fund may
select its investments from companies which are listed on a domestic or foreign
securities exchange or from companies whose securities have an established
over-the-counter market, and may make limited investments in "thinly traded"
securities.
The International Growth Fund will normally have at least 65% of its assets
invested in European and Pacific Basin equity securities. The International
Growth Fund intends to broadly diversify investments among countries and
normally to have represented in the portfolio issuers located in not less than
three different countries. The selection of the securities in which the
International Growth Fund will invest will not be limited to companies of any
particular size.
Using a bottom-up investment approach, Vontobel USA invests in large- and
medium-capitalization companies that have a long record of successful
operations in their core business. Typically such companies occupy a leading
position in their industry, have consistently generated free cash flow, and
have achieved earnings growth through increasing market share and unit sales
volumes. Vontobel USA's goal is to construct a portfolio of the best companies
in the developed markets of Europe and the Pacific Basin without making any
country bets. With approximately 80-100 names, the International Growth Fund
also seeks to be well diversified in terms of industry exposure. Vontobel USA
analyzes approximately 35 international equity markets, including those
comprised in Morgan Stanley Capital International's EAFE (Europe, Australia and
Far East). The Adviser also gives consideration to such factors as market
liquidity, accessibility to foreign investors, regulatory protection of
shareholders, accounting and disclosure standards, transferability of funds and
foreign exchange controls, if any.

<PAGE> 153
Global Financial Services Fund
The objective of the Global Financial Services Fund is capital appreciation.
The Global Financial Services Fund invests almost exclusively in financial
services stocks with average holdings of between 55 and 75 stocks. At least 65%
of total assets of the Fund will normally be invested in financial services
stocks. In addition, the Fund primarily invests in U.S. financial services
companies. Other countries eligible for inclusion into this service will be
limited to the developed market as represented by the MSCI EAFE Index with
Canada. The Fund Manager will not make investments in emerging markets. The
Fund is broadly diversified geographically, typically with holdings in ten or
more foreign countries. The vast majority of the investments are made in common
stocks with a fully invested
Internet Fund. Under normal conditions, the Internet Fund will invest at least
65% of its assets in equity securities. In choosing which companies' stock the
Fund should purchase, the Fund Manager invests in those companies listed on a
U.S. securities exchange or NASDAQ which are engaged in the research, design,
development or manufacturing, or engaged to a significant extent in the
business of distributing products, processes or services for use with Internet
or Intranet related businesses. The Fund may also invest in other "high tech"
companies. The Internet is a world-wide network of computers designed to permit
users to share information and transfer data quickly and easily. The World Wide
Web ("WWW"), which is a means of graphically interfacing with the Internet, is
a hyper-text based publishing medium containing text, graphics, interactive
feedback mechanisms and links within WWW documents and to other WWW documents.
An Intranet is the application of WWW tools and concepts to a company's internal
documents and databases. Other "high tech" companies may include firms in the
computer, communications, video, electronic, office and factory automation and
robotics sectors.
6
<PAGE> 154
posture being the norm. Individual security positions are controlled so that no
single holding will dominate the portfolio.
The Fund Manager employs a centralized investment approach in all
portfolios. The Global Investment Policy Group uses its many years of experience
and market memory to review analysts' latest research findings and forecasts.
The group integrates the work of analysts, economists and the quantitative
group, systematically applying valuation and portfolio construction processes to
select securities. The portfolio managers then apply the Investment Policy
Group's decisions, deviating only to conform to Fund objectives.
The Fund Manager employs 129 analysts who take an intensive, long-term
approach to forecasting earnings power and growth. Organized in global industry
teams so that they can discern companies' strategies, cost pressures and
competition in a global context, the Fund Manager's analysts are centrally
located so that the senior professionals can control the quality of their
findings.
Income Funds
Investors should refer to Appendix A to this Statement of Additional
Information for a description of the Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's")
and Standard & Poor's ("S&P") ratings mentioned below.
Government Securities Fund. The objective of the Government Securities
Fund is current income and safety of principal. The Fund invests primarily in
from securities that are obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies and
instrumentalities ("U.S. Government Securities").
It is a fundamental policy of the Fund that under normal conditions at
least 80% of the value of its net assets will be invested in U.S. Government
Securities. Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its
agencies or instrumentalities are generally considered to be of the same or
higher credit quality as privately issued securities rated Aaa by Moody's
Investor Services or AAA by Standard & Poor's.
U.S. Government Securities consist of direct obligations of the U.S.
Treasury (such as treasury bills, treasury notes and treasury bonds) and
securities issued or guaranteed by agencies and instrumentalities of the United
States Government. Those securities issued by agencies or instrumentalities may
or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. Examples
of full faith and credit securities are securities issued by the Government
National Mortgage Association ("GNMA Certificates"). Examples of agencies or
instrumentalities whose securities are not backed by the full faith and credit
of the United States are the Federal Farm Credit System, the Federal Home Loan
Banks, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the United States Postal Service and the
Export-Import Bank. The Fund will choose among these categories in order to
achieve the highest level of current income and safety of principal.
7
<PAGE> 155
The remainder of the Fund's assets may be invested in repurchase
agreements, bankers acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper
and similar money market instruments, corporate bonds and other mortgage-related
securities (including collateralized mortgage obligations or "CMOs") rated Aaa
by Moody's or AAA by S&P at the time of the investment or determined by the Fund
Manager to be of comparable credit quality at the time of investment to such
rated securities. In making such investments, the Fund Manager seeks income but
gives careful attention to security of principal and considers such factors as
marketability and diversification. For a discussion of CMOs and related risks,
see "Certain Investment Techniques and Associated Risks in this Statement of
Additional Information."
As described in "Certain Investment Techniques and Associated Risks,"
the Fund may write and sell covered call option contracts on securities that it
owns (in an effort to enhance income through hedging and other investment
techniques) to the extent of 20% of the value of its net assets at the time such
option contracts are written.
High-Yield Bond Fund. The objective of the High-Yield Bond Fund is
maximum current income. The Fund invests primarily in debt securities that are
rated Ba or lower by Moody's or BB or lower by S&P.
It is a fundamental policy of the Fund that under normal circumstances
it will invest at least 80% of the value of its total net assets (at least 65%
of gross assets) in high-yielding, income-producing domestic corporate bonds
that are rated below investment grade and rated B3 or better by Moody's or B-
or better by S&P. The corporate bonds in which the Fund invests are
high-yielding but normally carry a greater credit risk than bonds with higher
ratings. In addition, such bonds, commonly referred to as "junk bonds," may
involve greater volatility of price than higher-rated bonds. For a discussion
of high-yield securities and related risks, see "Certain Investment Techniques
and Associated Risks."
The Fund's investments are selected by the Fund Manager after careful
examination of the economic outlook to determine those industries that appear
favorable for investments. Industries going through a perceived decline
generally are not candidates for selection. After the industries are selected,
bonds of issuers within those industries are selected based on their
creditworthiness, their yields in relation to their credit and the relative
strength of their common stock prices. Companies near or in bankruptcy are not
considered for investment. The Fund does not purchase bonds which are rated Ca
or lower by Moody's or CC or lower by S&P or which, if unrated, in the judgment
of the Fund Manager have characteristics of such lower-grade bonds. Should an
investment purchased with the above-described credit quality requisites be
downgraded to Ca or lower or CC or lower, the Fund Manager shall have discretion
to hold or liquidate the security.
Subject to the restrictions described above, under normal
circumstances, up to 20% of the Fund's assets may include: (1) bonds rated Caa
by Moody's or CCC by S&P; (2) unrated debt securities which, in the judgment of
the Fund Manager have characteristics similar to below investment grade bonds;
(3) convertible debt securities; (4) puts, calls and futures as hedging
devices;
8
<PAGE> 156
(5) foreign issuer debt securities; and (6) short-term money market
instruments, including certificates of deposit, commercial paper, U.S.
Government Securities and other income-producing cash equivalents. For a
discussion of puts, calls, and futures and their related risks, see "Certain
Investment Techniques and Associated Risks."
Tax-Exempt Income Fund. The objective of the Tax-Exempt Income Fund is
a high level of current income not includable in gross income for federal income
tax purposes, with consideration given to preservation of principal. The Fund
invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of long-term investment grade
municipal bonds.
It is a fundamental policy of the Fund that under normal circumstances
it will invest at least 80% of its net assets in investment grade "Municipal
Securities" (or futures contracts or options on futures with respect thereto)
which, at the time of investment, are investment grade or in Municipal
Securities which are not rated if, based upon credit analysis by the Fund
Manager, it is believed that such securities are of comparable quality to such
rated bonds. Municipal Securities are notes and bonds issued by or on behalf of
states, territories and possessions of the United States and the District of
Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities. These
securities are traded primarily in the over-the-counter market. Such securities
may have fixed, variable or floating rates of interest. The interest on
investment grade Municipal Securities, in the opinion of counsel for issuers and
the Fund, is generally not includable in gross income for federal income tax
purposes, and is generally not subject to the alternative minimum tax. See the
Appendix B for a further description of Municipal Securities.
Investment grade securities in which the Fund may invest are those
bonds rated within the three highest ratings by Moody's (Aaa, Aa, A) or S&P
(AAA, AA, A); notes given one of the three highest ratings by Moody's (MIG1,
MIG2, MIG3) commercial paper rated P-1 by Moody's or A-1 by S&P; and
variable rate securities rated VMIG1 or VMIG2 by Moody's.
While there are no maturity restrictions on the Municipal Securities in
which the Fund invests, the average maturity is expected to range between 10 and
25 years. The Fund Manager will actively manage the Fund, adjusting the average
Fund maturity and in some cases utilizing futures contracts and options on
futures as a defensive measure according to its judgment of anticipated interest
rates. During periods of rising interest rates and falling prices, a shorter
weighted average maturity may be adopted to cushion the effect of bond price
declines on the Fund's net asset value. When rates are falling and prices are
rising, a longer weighted average maturity rate may be adopted. For a discussion
on futures and their related risks, see "Certain Investment Techniques and
Associated Risks."
The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in cash, cash
equivalents and debt securities, the interest from which may be subject to
federal income tax. Investments in taxable
9
<PAGE> 157
securities will be limited to investment grade corporate debt securities and
U.S. Government Securities.
The Fund will invest at least 80% of its gross assets in tax-exempt
securities, the interest on which is not subject to federal alternative minimum
tax.
Domestic Hybrid Funds
The Balanced Fund. Generally, between 60% and 75% of the Balanced
Fund's total assets will be invested in equity securities. The portfolio
allocation will vary based upon the Fund Manager's assessment of the return
potential of each asset class. For equity investments, the Fund Manager uses a
bottom-up approach to stock selection, focusing on high quality,
well-established companies that have a strong history of earnings growth;
attractive prices relative to the company's potential for above average;
long-term earnings and revenue growth; strong balance sheets; a sustainable
competitive advantage; the potential to become (or currently are) industry
leaders; and the potential to outperform the market during downturns. When
selecting fixed income securities, the Fund Manager will seek to maintain the
Fund's weighted average duration within 20% of the duration of the Lehman
Brothers Government Corporate Index. Emphasis is also placed on diversification
and credit analysis. The Fund will only invest in fixed income securities with
an "A" or better rating. Fixed income investments will include: U.S. Government
securities; corporate bonds; mortgage/asset-backed securities; and money market
securities and repurchase agreements.
Managed Fund. The objective of the Managed Fund is growth of capital
over time. The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio consisting of common
stocks, bonds and cash equivalents, the percentages of which will vary based on
the Fund Manager's assessments of the relative outlook for such investments. In
seeking to achieve its investment objective, the types of equity securities in
which the Fund may invest will be the same as those in which the Equity Funds
invest. Debt securities are expected to be predominantly investment grade
intermediate to long-term U.S. Government and corporate debt, although the Fund
will also invest in high quality short-term money market and cash equivalent
securities and may invest all of its assets in such securities when the Fund
Manager deems it advisable in order to preserve capital. In addition, the Fund
may also invest up to 20% of its assets in foreign securities provided that they
are listed on a domestic or foreign securities exchange or are represented by
ADRs or EDRs listed on a domestic securities exchange or traded in the United
States over-the-counter market.
The allocation of the Fund's assets among the different types of
permitted investments will vary from time to time based upon the Fund Manager's
evaluation of economic and market trends and its perception of the relative
values available from such types of securities at any given time. There is
neither a minimum nor a maximum percentage of the Fund's assets that may, at any
given time, be invested in any of the types of investments identified above.
Consequently, while the Fund will earn income to the extent it is invested in
bonds or cash equivalents, the Fund does not have any specific income objective.
However, it is a policy of the Fund that it will not invest more than 5% of the
value of its total assets in high-yield securities.
Money Market Fund
Money Market Fund. The investment objective of the Money Market Fund is
to provide the highest possible level of current income, consistent with
preservation of capital and liquidity. Securities in which the Fund will invest
may not yield as high a level of current income as securities of lower quality
and longer maturity which generally have less liquidity and greater market risk.
The Money Market Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a
diversified portfolio of high-quality money market instruments, comprised of
U.S. dollar-denominated instruments which present minimal credit risks and are
of eligible quality which consist of the following:
10
<PAGE> 158
1. obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the
United States Government or any agency or authority controlled or
supervised by and acting as an instrumentality of the U.S. Government
pursuant to authority granted by Congress;
2. U.S. dollar denominated commercial paper, negotiable certificates of
deposit, letters of credit, time deposits and bankers acceptances, of
U.S. or foreign banks, and U.S. or foreign savings and loans
associations, which at the date of investment have capital, surplus and
undistributed profits as of the date of their most recent published
financial statements of $500,000,000 or greater;
3. short-term corporate debt instruments (commercial paper or variable
amount master demand notes) rated "A-1" or "A-2" by S&P or "Prime 1" or
"Prime 2" by Moody's or Tier 1 by any two Nationally Recognized
Statistical Rating Organizations ("NRSRO"), or, if not rated, issued by
a company rated at least "A" by any two NRSROs; however, investments in
securities of all issuers having the second highest rating (A-2/P-2)
assigned shall be limited to no more than five percent of the Fund's
assets at the time of purchase, with the investment of any one such
issuer being limited to not more than one percent of Fund assets at the
time of purchase;
4. corporate obligations limited to non-convertible corporate debt
securities having one year or less remaining to maturity and which are
rated "AA" or better by S&P or "Aa" or better by Moody's; and
5. repurchase agreements with respect to any of the foregoing
obligations.
The Money Market Fund will limit its investment in the securities of
any one issuer to no more than five percent of Fund assets, measured at the time
of purchase.
In addition, the Money Market Fund will not purchase any security,
including any repurchase agreement maturing in more than seven days, which is
subject to legal or contractual delays on resale or which is not readily
marketable if more than 10% of the net assets of the Money Market Fund, taken at
market value would be invested in such securities.
After purchase by the Money Market Fund, a security may cease to be
rated or its rating may be reduced below the minimum required for purchase by
the Money Market Fund. Neither event will require a sale of such security by the
Money Market Fund. The Fund Manager will consider such event in its
determination of whether the Money Market Fund should continue to hold the
security provided that the security presents minimal credit risks and that
holding the security is in the best interests of the Fund. To the extent Moody's
or S&P may change their rating systems generally (as described in Appendix A)
the Money Market Fund will attempt to use comparable ratings as standards for
investments in accordance with investment policies contained herein and in the
Fund's Prospectus.
11
<PAGE> 159
The dollar-weighted average maturity of the Money Market Fund will be
90 days or less.
All investments of the Money Market Fund will be limited to instruments
which are determined to be of eligible quality, which, if instruments of foreign
issuers, are United States dollar-denominated instruments presenting minimal
credit risk, and all of which are either:
1. of those rated in the two highest rating categories by any NRSRO, or
2. if the instrument is not rated, of comparable quality as determined
by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.
Generally, instruments with NRSRO ratings in the two highest grades are
considered "high quality." All of the money market investments will mature in
397 days or less. The Money Market Fund will use the amortized cost method of
securities valuation, as described more fully below in "Determination of Net
Asset Value."
CERTAIN INVESTMENT SECURITIES, TECHNIQUES
AND ASSOCIATED RISKS
Following is a description of certain investment techniques employed by
the Funds, and certain types of securities invested in by the Funds and
associated risks. Unless otherwise indicated, all of the Funds may use the
indicated techniques and invest in the indicated securities.
Mortgage-Related Securities and Asset-Backed Securities
Up to 20% of the net assets of the Government Securities Fund may be
invested in assets other than U.S. Government Securities, including
collateralized mortgage-related securities ("CMOs") and asset-backed securities.
The Balanced Fund may also invest in such securities as well as Real Estate
Mortgage Investment Conduits ("REMICs") and Multi-Pass-Throughs. These
securities are considered to be volatile and may be thinly traded. CMOs are
obligations fully collateralized by a portfolio of mortgages or mortgage-related
securities. Payments of principal and interest on the mortgages are passed
through to the holders of the CMOs on the same schedule as they are received,
although certain classes of CMOs have priority over others with respect to the
receipt of prepayments on the mortgages. Therefore, depending on the type of
CMOs in which the Government Securities Fund and Balanced Fund invests, the
investment may be subject to a greater or lesser risk of prepayment than other
types of mortgage-related securities. REMIC's are private entities formed for
the purpose of holding a fixed pool of mortgages secured by an interest in real
property. REMICs are similar to CMOs in that they issue multiple classes of
securities. As with CMOs, the mortgages which collateralize the REMICs in which
the Funds may invest include mortgages backed by GNMA certificates or other
mortgage pass-throughs issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies
or instrumentalities or issued by private entities, which are not guaranteed by
any government agency.
While there are many versions of CMOs and asset-backed securities, some
include "Interest Only" or "IO" -- where all interest payments go to one class
of holders, "Principal Only" or "PO" -- where all of the principal goes to a
second class of holders, "Floaters" -- where the coupon rate floats in the same
direction as interest rates and "Inverse Floaters" --where the coupon rate
floats in the opposite direction as interest rates. All of these securities are
volatile; they also have particular risks in differing interest rate
environments as described below.
12
<PAGE> 160
The yield to maturity on an IO class is extremely sensitive to the rate
of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage
assets, and a rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse
effect on yield to maturity and, therefore, the market value of the IO. As
interest rates rise and fall, the value of IOs tends to move in the same
direction as interest rates. Accordingly, investment in IOs can theoretically be
expected to contribute to stabilizing the Fund's net asset value. However, if
the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments
of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these
securities even if the securities are rated AAA or the equivalent. Conversely,
while the yield to maturity on a PO class is also extremely sensitive to rate of
principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage
assets, a slow rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on
yield to maturity and therefore the market value of the PO. As interest rates
rise and fall, the value of POs tends to move in the opposite direction from
interest rates. This is typical of most debt instruments.
Floaters and Inverse Floaters ("Floaters") are extremely sensitive to
the rise and fall in interest rates. The coupon rate on these securities is
based on various benchmarks, such as LIBOR ("London Inter-Bank Offered Rate")
and the 11th District cost of funds (the base rate). The coupon rate on Floaters
can be affected by a variety of terms. Floaters can be reset at fixed intervals
over the life of the Floater, float with a spread to the base rate or be a
certain percentage rate minus a certain base rate. Some Floaters have floors
below which the interest rate cannot be reset and/or ceilings above which the
interest rate cannot be reset. The coupon rate and/or market value of Floaters
tend to move in the same direction as the base rate while the coupon rate and/or
market value of Inverse Floaters tend to move in the opposite direction from the
base rate.
The market value of all CMOs and other asset-backed securities are
determined by supply and demand in the bid/ask market, interest rate movements,
the yield curve, forward rates, prepayment assumptions and credit of the
underlying issuer. Further, the price actually received on a sale may be
different from bids when the security is being priced. CMOs and asset-backed
securities trade over a bid and ask market through several large market makers.
Due to the complexity and concentration of derivative securities, the liquidity
and, consequently, the volatility of these securities can be sharply influenced
by market demand.
Asset-backed and mortgage-related securities may not be readily
marketable. To the extent any of these securities are not readily marketable in
the judgment of the Fund Managers (subject to the oversight of the Board of
Directors), the investment restriction limiting the Fund's investment in
illiquid instruments will apply. However, IOs and POs issued by the U.S.
Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, and backed by fixed-rate
mortgages may be excluded from this limit, if, in the judgment of the respective
Fund Managers (subject to the oversight of the Board of Directors) such IOs and
POs are readily marketable. The Government Securities Fund does not intend to
invest in residual interests, privately issued securities or subordinated
classes of underlying mortgages.
Other Mortgage-Backed Securities. The Balanced Fund may invest in other
mortgage-backed securities. The Fund Manager expects that governmental,
government-related or private entities may create mortgage loan pools and other
mortgage-related securities offering mortgage pass-through and
mortgage-collateralized investments in addition to those described above. The
mortgages underlying these securities may include alternative mortgage
instruments, that is, mortgage instruments whose principal or interest payments
may vary or whose terms to maturity may differ from customary long-term
fixed-rate mortgages. As new types of mortgage-related securities are developed
and offered to investors, the Fund Manager will, consistent with the Fund's
investment objective, policies and quality standards, consider making
investments in such new types of mortgage-related securities.
13
<PAGE> 161
High-Yield Securities
The Internet Fund, the High Yield Bond Fund and the Balanced Fund may
invest in high-yield securities. The Internet Fund will not invest more than 5%
of its total assets in securities that are rated below investment grade by S&P
or Moody's or in comparable unrated securities. Notwithstanding the investment
policies and restrictions applicable to these Funds which were designed to
reduce risks associated with such investments, high-yield securities may carry
higher levels of risk than many other types of income producing securities.
These risks are of three basic types: the risk that the issuer of the high-yield
bond will default in the payment of principal and interest; the risk that the
value of the bond will decline due to rising interest rates, economic
conditions, or public perception; and the risk that the investor in such bonds
may not be able to readily sell such bonds. Each of the major categories of risk
are affected by various factors, as discussed below:
High-Yield Bond Market. The high-yield bond market has grown in the
context of a long economic expansion. Any downturn in the economy may have a
negative impact on the perceived ability of the issuer to make principal and
interest payments which may adversely affect the value of outstanding high-yield
securities and reduce market liquidity.
Sensitivity To Interest Rate and Economic Changes. In general, the
market prices of bonds bear an inverse relationship to interest rates; as
interest rates increase, the prices of bonds decrease. The same relationship may
hold for high-yield bonds, but in the past high-yield bonds have been somewhat
less sensitive to interest rate changes than treasury and investment grade
bonds. While the price of high-yield bonds may not decline as much, relatively,
as the prices of treasury or investment grade bonds decline in an environment of
rising interest rates, the market price, or value, of a high-yield bond will be
expected to decrease in periods of increasing interest rates, the net asset
value of the Funds. High-yield bond prices may not increase as much, relatively,
as the prices of treasury or investment grade bonds in periods of decreasing
interest rates. Payments of principal and interest on bonds are dependent upon
the issuer's ability to pay. Because of the generally lower creditworthiness of
issuers of high-yield bonds, changes in the economic environment generally, or
in an issuer's particular industry or business, may severely impair the ability
of the issuer to make principal and interest payments and may depress the price
of high-yield securities more significantly than such changes would affect
higher-rated, investment-grade securities.
Payment Expectations. Many high-yield bonds contain redemption or
call provisions which might be expected to be exercised in periods of
decreasing interest rates. Should bonds in which the Funds have invested be
redeemed or called during such an interest rate environment, the Funds would
have to sell such securities without reference to their investment merit and
reinvest the proceeds received in lower yielding securities, resulting in a
decreased return for investors in the Funds. In addition, such redemptions or
calls may reduce the Funds' asset base over which the Funds' investment
expenses may be spread.
Liquidity and Valuation. Because of periods of relative illiquidity,
many high-yield bonds may be thinly traded. As a result, the ability to
accurately value high-yield bonds and
14
<PAGE> 162
determine the net asset value of the High-Yield Bond Fund, as well as the Fund's
ability to sell such securities, may be limited. Public perception of and
adverse publicity concerning high-yield securities may have a significant
negative impact on the value and liquidity of high-yield securities, even though
not based on fundamental investment analysis.
Tax Considerations. To the extent that a Fund invests in securities
structured as zero coupon bonds, or other securities issued with original issue
discount, the Fund will be required to report interest income even though no
cash interest payment is received. Because such income is not represented by
cash, the Fund may be required to sell other securities in order to satisfy the
distribution requirements applicable to regulated investment companies under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("IRC").
Fund Composition. As of March 31, 1999, the High-Yield Bond Fund
consisted of securities classified as follows:

REITS
Each Fund other than the Money Market may invest up to 10% of its total
assets in the securities of real estate investment trusts ("REITs") (the
Multi-Cap Growth, the Internet and the Balanced Funds are not subject to this
limitation). REITs are pooled investment vehicles which invest in real estate
and real estate-related loans. The value of a REIT's shares generally is
affected by changes in the value of the underlying investments of the trust.
Hedging Transactions
Except as otherwise indicated, the Fund Managers, other than for the
Money Market Fund, may invest in derivatives, which are discussed in detail
below, to seek to hedge all or a portion of a Fund's assets against market value
changes resulting from changes in equity or bond values, interest rates and
currency fluctuations. Hedging is a means of offsetting, or neutralizing, the
price movement of an investment by making another investment, the price of which
should tend to move in the opposite direction from the original investment.
Other than the Multi-Cap Growth Fund, the Funds will not engage in
hedging transactions for speculative purposes but only as a hedge against
changes resulting from market conditions in the values of securities owned or
expected to be owned by the Funds. Unless otherwise indicated, a Fund other than
the Multi-Cap Growth Fund will not enter into a futures transaction (except for
closing transactions) if, immediately thereafter, the sum of the
15
<PAGE> 163
amount of the initial deposits and premiums on open futures contracts and
options on futures would exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets.
Certain Securities
The Funds may invest in the following described securities, except as
otherwise indicated. These securities are commonly referred to as derivatives. A
Fund's investment in such securities, in the aggregate, may not exceed 5% of net
assets at the time of investment; provided, however, that the International
Growth Fund, the High-Yield Bond Fund, and the Government Securities Fund may
invest up to 20% of their net assets in such securities. The Multi-Cap Growth
Fund will not purchase options if, as a result, the aggregate cost of all
outstanding options exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets, although no more
than 5% will be committed to transactions entered into for non-hedging
(speculative) purposes.
Call Options. Call Options. The Multi-Cap Growth Fund, the Internet
Fund, and the Balanced Fund may purchase call options, but the Balanced Fund may
only do so to the extent premiums paid on all outstanding call options do not
exceed 20% of the Fund's total assets. The Internet and Balanced Funds may
purchase options that may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange
and issued by the Options Clearing Corporation. The Funds, other than the Money
Market Fund, may write (sell) call options ("calls") that are listed on national
securities exchanges or are available in the over-the-counter market through
primary broker-dealers. The Internet Fund and the Balanced Fund may purchase or
write options that may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange
and issued by the Options Clearing Corporation. Call options are short-term
contracts with a duration of nine months or less. Such Funds may only write call
options which are "covered," meaning that the Fund either owns the underlying
security or has an absolute and immediate right to acquire that security,
without additional cash consideration, upon conversion or exchange of other
securities currently held in the Fund. In addition, no Fund will, prior to the
expiration of a call option, permit the call to become uncovered. If a Fund
writes a call option, the purchaser of the option has the right to buy (and the
Fund has the obligation to sell) the underlying security at the exercise price
throughout the term of the option. The amount paid to the Fund by the purchaser
of the option is the "premium." The Fund's obligation to deliver the underlying
security against payment of the exercise price would terminate either upon
expiration of the option or earlier if the Fund were to effect a "closing
purchase transaction" through the purchase of an equivalent option on an
exchange. The Fund would not be able to effect a closing purchase transaction
after it had received notice of exercise. The International Growth Fund and
Global Financial Services Fund may purchase and write covered call options on
foreign and U.S. securities and indices and enter into related closing
transactions.
The Internet Fund may write options in connection with buy-and-write
transactions; that is, the Fund may purchase a security and then write a call
option against that security. The exercise price of the call the Fund determine
to write will depend upon the expected price movement of the underlying
security. The exercise price of a call option may be below ("in-the-money"),
equal to ("at-the-money") or above ("out-of-the-money") the current value of the
underlying security at the time the option is written. Buy-and-write
transactions using in-the-money call options may be used when it is expected
that the price of the underlying security will remain flat or decline moderately
during the option period. Buy-and-write transactions using out-of-the-money call
options may be used when it is expected that the premiums received from writing
the call option plus the appreciation in the market price of the underlying
security up to the exercise price will be greater than the appreciation in the
price of the underlying security alone. If the call options are exercised in
such transactions, the maximum gain to the Fund will be the premium received by
it for writing the option, adjusted upwards or downwards by the difference
between the Fund's purchase price of the security and the exercise price. If the
options are not exercised and the price of the underlying security declines, the
amount of such decline will be offset in part, or entirely, by the premium
received.
Generally, a Fund intends to write listed covered calls when it
anticipates that the rate of return from so doing is attractive, taking into
consideration the premium income to be received, the risks of a decline in
securities prices during the term of the option, the probability that closing
purchase transactions will be available if a sale of the securities is desired
prior to the exercise or expiration of the options, and the cost of entering
into such transactions. A principal reason for writing calls on a securities
portfolio is to attempt to realize, through the receipt of premium income, a
greater return than would be earned on the securities alone. A covered call
writer such as a Fund, which owns the underlying security, has, in return for
the premium, given up the opportunity for profit from a price increase in the
underlying security above the exercise price, but it has retained the risk of
loss should the price of the security decline.
The writing of covered call options involves certain risks. A principal
risk arises because exchange and over-the-counter markets for options may be
limited; it is impossible to predict the amount of trading interest which may
exist in such options, and there can be no assurance that
16
<PAGE> 164
viable exchange and over-the-counter markets will develop or continue. The Funds
will write covered call options only if there appears to be a liquid secondary
market for such options. If, however, an option is written and a liquid
secondary market does not exist, it may be impossible to effect a closing
purchase transaction in the option. In that event, the Fund may not be able to
sell the underlying security until the option expires or the option is
exercised, even though it may be advantageous to the Fund to sell the underlying
security before that time.
Moreover, there is no assurance that the Internet Fund or the Balanced
Fund will be able to close an unlisted option position. Furthermore, unlisted
options are not subject to the protection afforded purchasers of listed options
by the Options Clearing Corporation, which performs the obligations of its
members which fail to do so in connection with the purchase or sale of options.
The Funds may use options traded on U.S. exchanges, and to the extent
permitted by law, options traded over-the-counter. It is the position of the SEC
that over-the-counter options are illiquid. Accordingly, the Funds will invest
in such options only to the extent consistent with their limit on investments in
illiquid securities.
Puts. The Funds, except the Government Securities Fund and the Money
Market Fund, may purchase put options ("Puts") which relate to (i) securities
(whether or not they hold such securities); (ii) Index Options (described below
whether or not they hold such Options); or (iii) broadly-based stock indices.
The Internet Fund and the Balanced Fund may purchase or write put options that
may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange and issued by the
Options Clearing Corporation. The Balanced Fund will only purchase put options
to the extent that the premiums on all outstanding put options do not exceed 20%
of the Fund's total assets. The Balanced Fund will, at all times during which it
holds a put option, own the security covered by such option. With regard to the
writing of put options, the Balanced Fund will limit the aggregate value of the
obligations underlying such put options to 50% of its total assets. The Funds,
except the Government Securities Fund and Money Market Fund, may write covered
Puts. The Funds will receive premium income from writing covered Puts, although
a Fund may be required, when the put is exercised, to purchase securities at
higher prices than the current market price. The High-Yield Bond Fund may invest
up to 10% of its total assets.
Futures Contracts. All Funds, other than the Money Market Fund, may
enter into contracts for the future acquisition or delivery of securities
("Futures Contracts") including index contracts and foreign currencies, and may
also purchase and sell call options on Futures Contracts. These Funds may use
this investment technique to hedge against anticipated future adverse price
changes which otherwise might either adversely affect the value of the
securities or currencies held in the Fund, or to hedge anticipated future price
changes which adversely affect the prices of stocks, long-term bonds or
currencies which the Fund intends to purchase at a later date.
These Funds may use this investment technique to hedge against
anticipated future adverse price changes which otherwise might either adversely
affect the value of the securities or currencies held in a Fund, or to hedge
anticipated future price changes which adversely affect the prices of stocks,
long-term bonds or currencies which the Fund intends to purchase at a later
date. Alternatively, a Fund may enter into Futures Contracts in order to hedge
against a change in interest rates which will result in the premature call at
par value of certain securities which the Fund has purchased at a premium. If
stock, bond or currency prices or interest rates move in an unexpected manner,
the Fund would not achieve the anticipated benefits of Futures Contracts. The
Balanced Fund may not purchase or sell a Futures Contract unless immediately
after any such transaction the sum of the aggregate amount of margin deposits on
its existing futures positions and the amount of premiums paid for related
options is 5% or less of its total assets, after taking into account unrealized
profits and unrealized losses on any such contracts. The Balanced Fund may
purchase and sell call and put options on Futures Contracts traded on an
exchange or board of trade.
In connection with transactions on options on stock index futures, the
Multi-Cap Growth Fund and the Internet Fund will be required to deposit as
"initial margin" an amount of cash or other specified assets equal to, with
respect to the Multi-Cap Growth Fund 1% to 10% of the face amount of the
contract, and between 5% to 8% of the contract amount with respect to the
Internet Fund. Thereafter, subsequent payments (referred to as "variation
margin") are made to and from the broker to reflect changes in the value of the
option or Futures Contract. The Multi-Cap Growth Fund and the Internet Fund may
not at any time commit more than 5% of their total assets to initial margin
deposits on Futures Contracts, index options and options on Futures Contracts.
However, with respect to the Multi-Cap Growth Fund, in the case of an option
that is in-the-money at the time of purchase, the in-the-money amount may be
excluded in calculating the 5% limitation.
In an effort to compensate for the imperfect correlation of movements
in the price of the securities being hedged and movements in the price of the
stock index futures, the Multi-Cap Growth Fund may, if it uses a hedging
strategy, buy or sell stock index futures contracts in a greater or lesser
dollar amount than the dollar amount of the securities being hedged if the
historical volatility of the stock index futures has been less or greater than
that of the securities. Such "over hedging" or "under hedging" may adversely
affect the Fund's net investment results if market movements are not as
anticipated when the hedge is established.
Alternatively, the Funds may enter into Futures Contracts in order to
hedge against a change in interest rates which will result in the premature call
at par value of certain securities which the Fund has purchased at a premium. If
stock, bond or currency prices or interest rates move in an unexpected manner,
the Fund would not achieve the anticipated benefits of Futures Contracts.
The use of Futures Contracts involves special considerations or risks
not associated with the primary activities engaged in by any Funds. Risks of
entering into Futures Contracts include: (1) the risk that the price of the
Futures Contracts may not move in the same direction as the price of the
securities in the various markets; (2) the risk that there will be no liquid
secondary market if the Fund attempts to enter into a closing position; (3)
the risk that the Fund will lose an amount in excess of the initial margin
deposit; and (4) risk that the Fund Manager may be incorrect in its prediction
of movements in stock, bond, currency prices and interest rates.
Index Options. All of the Equity Domestic Hybrid and Sector Funds may
invest in options on stock indices. These options are based on indices of stock
prices that change in value according to the market value of the stocks they
include. Some stock index options are based on a broad market index, such as the
New York Stock Exchange Composite Index or the S&P 500. Other index options are
based on a market segment or on stocks in a single industry. Stock index options
are traded primarily on securities exchanges.
17
<PAGE> 165
For a call option on an index, the option is covered if a Fund
maintains with its sub-custodian cash or liquid securities equal to the contract
value. With respect to the Balanced Fund, the option is also covered if the fund
maintains with its custodian a diversified stock portfolio equal to the contract
value.
The use of options on securities indexes entails the risk that trading
in the options may be interrupted if trading in certain securities included in
the index is interrupted. Because the value of an index option depends primarily
on movements in the value of the index rather than in the price of a single
security, whether a Fund will realize a gain or loss from purchasing or writing
an option on a stock index depends on movements in the level of stock prices in
the stock market generally or, in the case of certain indexes, in an industry or
market segment rather than changes in the price of a particular security.
Consequently, successful use of stock index options by a Fund will depend on
that Fund Manager's ability to predict movements in the direction of the stock
market generally or in a particular industry. This requires different skills and
techniques than predicting changes in the value of individual securities.
Interest Rate Swaps. In order to attempt to protect the Fund's
investments from interest rate fluctuations, the Funds may engage in interest
rate swaps. Generally, the Funds intend to use interest rate swaps as a hedge
and not as a speculative investment. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange
between the Fund and another party of their respective rights to receive
interest (e.g., an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments).
For example, if the Fund holds an interest-paying security whose interest rate
is reset once a year, it may swap the right to receive interest at a rate that
is reset daily. Such a swap position would offset changes in the value of the
underlying security because of subsequent changes in interest rates. This would
protect the Fund from a decline in the value of the underlying security due to
rising rates, but would also limit its ability to benefit from falling interest
rates.
The Fund will enter into interest rate swaps only on a net basis (i.e.,
the two payments streams will be netted out, with the Fund receiving or paying
as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments). The net amount of
the excess, if any, of the Fund's obligations over its entitlements with respect
to each interest rate swap will be accrued on a daily basis, and an amount of
cash or liquid debt securities having an aggregate net asset value at least
equal to the accrued excess, will be segregated by the Fund.
The use of interest rate swaps involves investment techniques and risks
different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions.
If a Fund Manager is incorrect in its forecasts of market values, interest rates
and other applicable factors, the investment performance of the Fund will be
less favorable than it would have been if this investment technique were never
used. Interest rate swaps do not involve the delivery of securities or other
underlying assets or principal. Thus, if the other party to an interest rate
swap defaults, the Fund's risk of loss consists of the net amount of interest
payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive.
Foreign Currency Values and Transactions
Investments in foreign securities will usually involve currencies of
foreign countries, and the value of the assets of the International Growth Fund
and the Global Financial Services Fund (and of the other Funds that may invest
in foreign securities to a much lesser extent) as measured in United States
dollars may be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in foreign currency
18
<PAGE> 166
exchange rates and exchange control regulations, and the International Growth
Fund and the Global Financial Services Fund may incur costs in connection with
conversions between various currencies.
To manage exposure to currency fluctuations, the Funds may alter equity
or money market exposures (in its normal asset allocation mix as previously
identified where applicable), enter into forward currency exchange contracts,
buy or sell options, futures or options on futures relating to foreign
currencies and may purchase securities indexed to currency baskets. The Funds
may purchase securities indexed to currency baskets. The Funds will also use
these currency exchange techniques in the normal course of business to hedge
against adverse changes in exchange rates in connection with purchases and sales
of securities. Some of these strategies may require the Funds to set aside
liquid assets in a segregated account to cover its obligations. These techniques
are further described below.
The Funds may conduct their foreign currency exchange transactions on a
spot (i.e., cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency
exchange market or through entering into contracts to purchase or sell foreign
currencies at a future date (i.e., "forward foreign currency" contract or
"forward" contract). A forward contract involves an obligation to purchase or
sell a specific currency amount at a future date, which may be any fixed number
of days from the date of the contract, agreed upon by the parties, at a price
set at the time of the contract. The Fund will convert currency on a spot basis
from time to time and investors should be aware of the potential costs of
currency conversion.
When a Fund Manager believes that the currency of a particular country
may suffer a significant decline against the U.S. dollar or against another
currency, the Fund may enter into a currency contract to sell, for a fixed
amount of U.S. dollars or other appropriate currency, the amount of foreign
currency approximating the value of some or all of the Funds, securities
denominated in such foreign currency.
At the maturity of a forward contract, the Funds may either sell a
portfolio security and make delivery of the foreign currency, or it may retain
the security and terminate its contractual obligation to deliver the foreign
currency by repurchasing an "offsetting" contract with the same currency trader
obligating it to purchase, on the same maturity date, the same amount of the
foreign currency. The Funds may realize a gain or loss from currency
transactions.
The Funds also may purchase and write put and call options on foreign
currencies (traded on U.S. and foreign exchanges or over-the-counter markets) to
manage the Funds' exposure to
19
<PAGE> 167
changes in currency exchange rates. Call options on foreign currency written by
the Fund will be "covered", which means that the Fund will own an equal amount
of the underlying foreign currency. With respect to put options on foreign
currency written by the Fund, the Fund will establish a segregated account
consisting of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the amount the
Fund would be required to pay upon exercise of the put.
The Internet Fund may also engage in currency swaps, which are
agreements to exchange cash flows based on the national difference among two or
more currencies.
Certain Other Securities
Except as otherwise indicated, the Funds may purchase the following
securities, the purchase of which involves certain risks described below. Unless
otherwise indicated, a Fund will not purchase a category of such securities if
the value of such category, taken at current value, would exceed 5% of the
Fund's total assets.
Money Market Instruments. The Equity Funds and the Flexible Funds may
invest from time to time in "money market instruments," a term that includes,
among other things, bank obligations, commercial paper, time deposits, loan
participations ("LPs"), and, except with respect to the Multi-Cap Growth Fund,
variable amount master demand notes. The Multi-Cap Growth Fund may invest in
corporate bonds with remaining maturities of one year and the Internet Fund may
invest in corporate bonds with remaining maturities of 397 days or less. The
Balanced Fund may also invest in short-term corporate obligations, foreign
commercial paper, and variable and floating-rate instruments.
Bank obligations include bankers' acceptances, including Yankee
Bankers' Acceptances and foreign bankers' acceptances. Eurodollar Time Deposits
("ETDs") and Canadian Time Deposits ("CTDs"), and with respect to the Internet
Fund, Schedule B's. In addition, bank obligations include U.S.
dollar-denominated instruments issued or supported by the credit of U.S. or
foreign banks or savings institutions and U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of
foreign branches of U.S. banks or of U.S. branches of foreign banks, all of the
same type as domestic bank obligations. The Internet Fund will invest in
obligations of foreign banks or foreign branches of U.S. banks only where the
Fund Manager deems the instrument to present minimal credit risks. Such
investments may nevertheless entail risks that are different from those of
investments in domestic obligations of U.S. banks due to differences in
political, regulatory and economic systems and conditions. All investments in
bank obligations by the Internet Fund and the Balanced Fund are limited to the
obligations of financial institutions having more than $1 billion in total
assets at the time of purchase.
A Euro CD is a receipt from a bank for funds deposited at that bank for
a specific period of time at some specific rate of return and denominated in
U.S. dollars. It is the liability of a U.S. bank branch or foreign bank located
outside the U.S. Almost all Euro CDs are issued in London. Yankee CDs are
certificates of deposit that are issued domestically by foreign banks. It is a
means by which foreign banks may gain access to U.S. markets through their
branches which are located in the United States, typically in New York. These
CDs are treated as domestic securities. ETDs are U.S. dollar-denominated
deposits on a foreign branch of a U.S. bank or a foreign bank and CTDs are
essentially the same as ETDs except they are issued by Canadian offices of major
Canadian banks. Schedule Bs are obligations issued by Canadian branches of
foreign or domestic banks and Yankee BAs are U.S. dollar denominated bankers'
acceptances issued by a U.S. branch of a foreign bank and held in United States.
Domestic and foreign banks are subject to extensive but different
government regulations which may limit the amount and types of their loans and
the interest rates that may be charged. In addition, the profitability of the
banking industry is largely dependent upon the availability and cost of funds to
finance lending operations and the quality of underlying bank assets.
Investments in obligations of foreign branches of U.S. banks and of U.S.
branches of foreign banks may subject a Fund to additional investment risks,
including future political and economic developments, the possible imposition of
withholding taxes on interest income, possible seizure
20
<PAGE> 168
or nationalization of foreign deposits, the possible establishment of exchange
controls, or the adoption of other foreign governmental restrictions which
might adversely affect the payment of principal and interest on such
obligations. In addition, foreign branches of U.S. banks and U.S. branches of
foreign banks may be subject to less stringent reserve requirements and to
different accounting, auditing, reporting, and record keeping standards than
those applicable to domestic branches of U.S. banks.
Euro CDs, Yankee CDs and foreign bankers' acceptances involve risks
that are different from investments in securities of U.S. banks. The major risk,
which is sometimes referred to as "sovereign risk," pertains to possible
future unfavorable political and economic developments, possible withholding
taxes, seizures of foreign deposits, currency controls, interest limitations, or
other governmental restrictions which might affect payment of principal or
interest. Investment in foreign commercial paper also involves risks that are
different from investments in securities of commercial paper issued by U.S.
companies. Non-U.S. securities markets generally are not as developed or
efficient as those in the United States. Such securities may be less liquid and
more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. corporations. Non-U.S. issuers
are not generally subject to uniform accounting and financial reporting
standards, practices and requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S.
issuers. In addition, there may be less public information available about
foreign banks, their branches and other issuers.
Time deposits usually trade at a premium over Treasuries of the same
maturity. Investors regard such deposits as carrying some credit risk, which
Treasuries do not; also, investors regard time deposits as being sufficiently
less liquid than Treasuries; hence, investors demand some extra yield for buying
time deposits rather than Treasuries. The investor in a loan participation has a
dual credit risk to both the borrower and also the selling bank. The second risk
arises because it is the selling bank that collects interest and principal and
sends it to the investor.
Commercial paper may include variable and floating-rate instruments,
which are unsecured instruments that permit the interest on indebtedness
thereunder to vary. Variable-rate instruments provide for periodic adjustments
in the interest rate. Floating-rate instruments provide for automatic adjustment
of the interest rate whenever some other specified interest rate changes. Some
variable and floating-rate obligations are direct lending arrangements between
the purchaser and the issuer and there may be no active secondary market.
However, in the case of variable and floating-rate obligations with the demand
feature, a Fund may demand payment of principal and accrued interest at a time
specified in the instrument or may resell the instrument to a third party. In
the event an issuer of a variable or floating-rate obligation defaulted on its
payment obligation, a Fund might be unable to dispose of the note because of the
absence of a secondary market and could, for this or other reasons, suffer a
loss to the extent of the default. Substantial holdings of variable and
floating-rate instruments could reduce portfolio liquidity.
Variable- and Floating-Rate Instruments and Related Risks. The Balanced
Fund may acquire variable- and floating-rate instruments. The Fund Manager will
consider the earning power, cash flows and other liquidity ratios of the
issuers and guarantors of such instruments and, if the instruments are subject
to demand features, will monitor their financial status with respect to the
ability of the issuer to meet its obligation to make payment on demand. Where
21
<PAGE> 169
necessary to ensure that a variable- or floating-rate instrument meets the
Fund's quality requirements, the issuer's obligation to pay the principal of the
instrument will be backed by an unconditional bank letter or line of credit,
guarantee, or commitment to lend.
Because variable and floating-rate instruments are direct lending
arrangements between the lender and the borrower, it is not contemplated that
such instruments will generally be traded, and there is generally no established
secondary market for these obligations, although they are redeemable at face
value. Accordingly, where these obligations are not secured by letters of credit
or other credit support arrangements, the Fund's right to redeem is dependent on
the ability of the borrower to pay principal and interest on demand.
The same credit research must be done for master demand notes as in
accepted names for potential commercial paper issuers to reduce the chances of
a borrower getting into serious financial difficulties.
Loan Participations. The Balanced Fund may also engage in Loan
Participations ("LPs"). LPs are loans sold by the lending bank to an investor.
The loan participant borrower may be a company with highly-rated commercial
paper that finds it can obtain cheaper funding through an LP than with
commercial paper and can also increase the company's name recognition in the
capital markets. LPs often generate greater yield than commercial paper.
The borrower of the underlying loan will be deemed to be the issuer except
to the extent the Fund derives its rights from the intermediary bank which sold
the LPs. Because LPs are undivided interests in a loan made by the issuing
bank, the Fund may not have the right to proceed against the LP borrower
without the consent of other holders of the LPs. In addition, LPs will be rated
as illiquid if, in the judgment of the Fund Manager, they cannot be sold within
seven days.
Foreign Bankers' Acceptances. The Balanced Fund may purchase foreign
bankers' acceptances. Foreign bankers' acceptances are short-term (270 days or
less), non-interest-bearing notes sold at a discount and redeemed by the
accepting foreign bank at maturity for full face value and denominated in U.S.
dollars. Foreign bankers' acceptances are the obligations of the foreign bank
involved, to pay a draft drawn on it by a customer. These instruments reflect
the obligation both of the bank and the drawer to pay the face amount of the
instrument upon maturity.
Foreign Commercial Paper. The Balanced Fund may purchase foreign
commercial paper. Foreign commercial paper consists of short-term unsecured
promissory notes denominated in U.S. dollars, either issued directly by a
foreign firm in the U.S., or issued by a "domestic shell" subsidiary of a
foreign firm established to raise dollars for the firm's operations abroad or
for its U.S. subsidiary. Like commercial paper issued by U.S. companies,
foreign commercial paper is rated by the rating agencies (Moody's, S&P) as to
the issuer's creditworthiness. Foreign commercial paper can potentially provide
the investor with a greater yield than domestic commercial paper.
Supranational Bank Obligations. The Internet Fund may invest in
supranational bank obligations. Supranational banks are international banking
institutions designed or supported by national governments to promote economic
reconstruction, development or trade between nations (e.g., The World Bank).
Obligations of supranational banks may be supported by appropriated but unpaid
commitments of their member countries and there is no assurance these
commitments will be undertaken or met in the future.
22
<PAGE> 170
Master Demand Notes. All Funds except the Multi-Cap Growth, may
purchase variable amount master demand notes. However, the Funds, except the
Multi-Cap Growth Fund, the Internet Fund and the Balanced Fund, will not
purchase such securities if the value of such securities, taken at the current
value, would exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets. Variable amount master demand
notes are demand obligations that permit the investment of fluctuating amounts
at varying market rates of interest pursuant to arrangements between the issuer
and a commercial bank acting as agent for the payees of such notes whereby both
parties have the right to vary the amount of the outstanding indebtedness on the
notes. Since there is no secondary market for these notes, the appropriate Fund
Managers, subject to the overall review of the Fund's Directors and the Advisor,
monitor the financial condition of the issuers to evaluate their ability to
repay the notes.
U.S. Government Obligations. The Funds may purchase obligations issued
or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and U.S. Government agencies and
instrumentalities. Obligations of certain agencies and instrumentalities of the
U.S. Government, such as those of the Government National Mortgage Association
("GNMA"), are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury.
Others, such as those of the Export-Import Bank of the United States, are
supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury; and still
others, such as those of the Student Loan Marketing Association, are supported
only by the credit of the agency or instrumentality issuing the obligation. No
assurance can be given that the U.S. Government would provide financial support
to U.S. government-sponsored instrumentalities if it is not obligated to do so
by law. Examples of the types of U.S. Government obligations that may be
acquired by the Funds include U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. Treasury Notes and U.S.
Treasury Bonds and the obligations of Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal Farm
Credit Banks, Federal Land Banks, the Federal Housing Administration, Farmers
Home Administration, Export-Import Bank of the United States, Small Business
Administration, Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), GNMA, General
Services Administration, Student Loan Marketing Association, Central Bank for
Cooperatives, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), Federal
Intermediate Credit Banks Maritime Administration, some of which are discussed
below.
There are a number of important differences among the agencies and
instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that issue mortgage-related
securities and among the securities that they issue. Mortgage-related
securities guaranteed by the GNMA include GNMA Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates (also known as "Ginnie Maes") which are guaranteed as to the
timely payment of principal and interest by GNMA and such guarantee is backed
by the full faith and credit of the United States. GNMA is a wholly-owned U.S.
Government corporation within the
23
<PAGE> 171
Department of Housing and Urban Development. GNMA certificates also are
supported by the authority of GNMA to borrow funds from the U.S. Treasury to
make payments under its guarantee. Mortgage-related securities issued by the
FNMA include FNMA Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (also known as
"Fannie Maes") which are solely the obligations of the FNMA and are not backed
by or entitled to the full faith and credit of the United States, but are
supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury. FNMA is a
government-sponsored organization owned entirely by private stockholders. Fannie
Maes are guaranteed at to timely payment of the principal and interest by FNMA.
Mortgage-related securities issued by the FHLMC include FHLMC Mortgage
Participation Certificates (also known as "Freddie Macs" or "PCs"). FHLMC is a
corporate instrumentality of the United States, created pursuant to an Act of
Congress, which is owned entirely by Federal Home Loan Banks. Freddie Macs are
not guaranteed by the United States or by any Federal Home Loan Banks and do not
constitute a debt or obligation of the United States or of any Federal Home Loan
Bank. Freddie Macs entitle the holder to timely payment of interest, which is
guaranteed by the FHLMC. FHLMC guarantees either ultimate collection or timely
payment of all principal payments on the underlying mortgage loans. When FHLMC
does not guarantee timely payment of principal, FHLMC may remit the amount due
on account of its guarantee of ultimate payment of principal at any time after
default on an underlying mortgage, but in no event later than one year after it
becomes payable. Under normal market conditions, the Internet Fund will not
invest to a significant extent, or on a routine basis, in U.S. Government
securities.
The Balanced Fund may also invest in other mortgage-backed securities are
issued by private issuers, generally originators of and investors in mortgage
loans, including savings associations, mortgage bankers, commercial banks,
investment bankers, and special purpose entities. These private mortgage-backed
securities may be supported by U.S. Government mortgage-backed securities or
some form of non-government credit enhancement. Mortgage-backed securities have
either fixed or adjustable interest rates. The rate of return on
mortgage-backed securities may be affected by prepayments of principal on the
underlying loans, which generally increase as interest rates decline; as a
result, when interest rates decline, holders of these securities normally do
not benefit from appreciation in market value to the same extent as holders of
other non-callable debt securities. In addition, like other debt securities,
the values of mortgage-related securities, including government and
government-related mortgage pools, generally will fluctuate in response to
market interest rates.
Mortgage-backed securities have greater market volatility then other types
of securities. In addition, because prepayments often occur at times when
interest rates are low or are declining, the Funds may be unable to reinvest
such funds in securities which offer comparable yields. The yields provided by
these mortgage securities have historically exceeded the yields on other types
of U.S. Government securities with comparable maturities in large measure due
to the risks associated with prepayment features.
24
<PAGE> 172
The Balanced Fund may also invest in pass-through certificates issued by
non-governmental issuers. Pools of conventional residential mortgage loans
created by such issuers generally offer a higher rate of interest than
government and government-related pools because there are no direct or indirect
government guarantees of payment. Timely payment of interest and principal of
these pools is, however, generally supported by various forms of insurance or
guarantees, including individual loan, title, pool and hazard insurance. The
insurance and guarantees are issued by government entities, private insurance
and the mortgage poolers. Such insurance and guarantees and the creditworthiness
of the issuers thereof will be considered in determining whether a
mortgage-related security meets the Fund's quality standards. The Fund may buy
mortgage-related securities without insurance or guarantees if through an
examination of the loan experience and practices of the poolers, the investment
manager determines that the securities meet the Fund's quality standards.
Repurchase Agreements. All Funds may enter into repurchase agreements
usually having maturities of one business day and not more than one week. The
Funds, except for the Multi-Cap Growth Fund, the Internet Fund, and the Balanced
Fund, will not purchase such securities if the value of such securities, taken
at current value, would exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets. When a Fund
acquires securities from a bank or broker-dealer, it may simultaneously enter
into a repurchase agreement with the same seller pursuant to which the seller
agrees at the time of sale to repurchase the security at a mutually agreed upon
time and price. In such instances, the Corporation's Custodian has possession
of the security or collateral for the seller's obligation. The repurchase price
generally equals the price paid by a Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis
of current short-term rates (which may be more or less than the rate on the
securities underlying the repurchase agreement). Repurchase agreements may be
considered loans by a Fund collateralized by the underlying instrument. If the
seller should default on its obligation to repurchase the securities, the Fund
may experience delays, difficulties or other costs when selling the securities
held as collateral and may incur a loss if the value of the collateral declines.
The appropriate Fund Managers, subject to the overall review by the
Corporation's Directors and the Advisor, monitor the value of the collateral as
to repurchase agreements, and they monitor the creditworthiness of the seller
and must find it satisfactory before engaging in repurchase agreements.
The Funds, enter into repurchase agreements only with Federal Reserve
member banks that have net worth of at least $100,000,000 and outstanding
commercial paper of the two highest rating categories assigned by Moody's or S&P
or with broker-dealers that are registered with the
25
<PAGE> 173
Securities and Exchange Commission, are members of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") and have similarly rated commercial paper
outstanding.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the
sale of securities held by a Fund pursuant to a Fund's agreement to repurchase
the securities at an agreed upon price, date and rate of interest. During the
reverse repurchase agreement period, a Fund continues to receive principal and
interest payments on these securities. Because reverse repurchase agreements are
considered borrowings, the Internet Fund and the Balanced Fund may only enter
into such agreements for temporary or emergency purposes. The Internet Fund may
only sell portfolio securities to financial institutions such as banks and
broker/dealers and requiring to repurchase them at a mutually specified date and
price ("reverse purchase agreements"). Reverse repurchase agreements involve
the risk that the market value of the securities sold by a Fund may decline
below the repurchase price. A Fund will pay interest on amounts obtained
pursuant to a reverse repurchase agreement. While reverse repurchase agreements
are outstanding, a Fund will maintain cash, U.S. Government securities or other
liquid securities in a segregated account in an amount at least equal to the
market value of the securities, plus accrued interest, subject to the agreement.
With respect to the Balance Fund, liquid securities include equity securities
and debt securities that are unencumbered and marked to market daily.
Restricted or Illiquid Securities. Each Fund, except the Multi-Cap Growth
Fund, the Internet Fund, and the Balanced Fund, may invest up to 10% of its net
assets in restricted securities (privately placed equity or debt securities) or
other securities which are not readily marketable. The Multi-Cap Growth Fund and
the Internet Fund may invest up to 15% of their respective net assets and the
Balanced Fund may invest up to 5% of its total assets in illiquid or restricted
securities. With respect to the Multi-Cap Growth Fund, restricted securities
that are determined by the Board or Directors to be liquid are not subject to
this limitation.
Each Fund may invest in commercial obligations issued in reliance on the
"private placement" exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the
Act ("Section 4(2) paper"). Section 4(2) paper is restricted as to disposition
under the Federal Securities laws, and generally is sold to institutional
investors who agree that they are purchasing the paper for investment and not
with a view to public distribution. Any resale by the purchaser must be in an
exempt transaction. Section 4(2) paper normally is resold to other institutional
investors through or with the assistance of the issuer or investment dealers
which make a market on the Section 4(2) paper, thus providing liquidity.
The Funds may invest in restricted securities governed by Rule 144A under
the Securities Act of 1933. In adopting Rule 144A, the Securities Exchange
Commission specifically stated that restricted securities traded under Rule 144A
may be treated as liquid for purposes of investment limitations if the board of
directors (or the Fund Manager acting subject to the board's supervision)
determines that the securities are in fact liquid. Examples of factors that will
be taken into account in evaluating the liquidity of a Rule 144A security by a
Fund, both with respect to the initial purchase and on an ongoing basis, will
include, among others: (1) the frequency of trades and quotes for the security;
(2) the number of dealers willing to purchase or sell the security and the
number of other potential purchasers; (3) dealer undertakings to make a market
in the security; and (4) the nature of the security and the nature of the
marketplace trades (e.g., the time needed to dispose of the security, the method
of soliciting offers, and the mechanics of transfer). If institutional trading
in restricted securities were to decline to limited levels, the liquidity of a
Fund's portfolio could be adversely affected. This investment practice could
have the effect of increasing the level of illiquidity in a Fund during any
period that qualified institutional buyers become uninterested in purchasing
these restricted securities.

Repurchase Agreements. All Funds may enter into repurchase agreements
usually having maturities of one business day and not more than one week. When a
Fund acquires securities from a bank or broker-dealer, it may simultaneously
enter into a repurchase agreement with the same seller pursuant to which the
seller agrees at the time of sale to repurchase the security at a mutually
agreed upon time and price. In such instances, the Corporation's Custodian has
possession of the security or collateral for the seller's obligation. If the
seller should default on its obligation to repurchase the securities, the Fund
may experience delays, difficulties or other costs when selling the securities
held as collateral and may incur a loss if the value of the collateral declines.
The appropriate Fund Managers, subject to the overall review by the
Corporation's Directors and the Advisor, monitor the value of the collateral as
to repurchase agreements, and they monitor the creditworthiness of the seller
and must find it satisfactory before engaging in repurchase agreements. The
Funds enter into repurchase agreements only with Federal Reserve member banks
that have net worth of at least $100,000,000 and outstanding commercial paper of
the two highest rating categories assigned by Moody's or S&P or with
broker-dealers that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") and
have similarly rated commercial paper outstanding. Any repurchase agreements
entered into by the Funds will be fully collateralized and marked to market
daily, other than those entered into by the Money Market Fund, which are valued
on a market to market basis.
27
<PAGE> 175
Foreign Securities. As noted above, the International Growth Fund will
invest primarily in foreign securities and the Global Financial Services Fund
may invest 50% or more of its total assets in such securities. All other Funds,
except the Internet Fund, Government Securities Fund, the Tax-Exempt Income Fund
and the Money Market Fund, may, other than the Multi-Cap Growth Fund, subject to
the 20% limitation, invest in foreign securities as well as both sponsored and
unsponsored ADRs, and EDRs which are securities of U.S. issuers backed by
securities of foreign issuers. The Multi-Cap Growth Fund may invest in ADRs,
American Depository Shares or U.S. dollar denominated securities of foreign
issuers without limitation. The Internet Fund typically will only purchase
foreign securities which are represented by sponsored or unsponsored ADRs listed
on a domestic securities exchange or included in the NASDAQ National Market
System, or foreign securities listed directly on a domestic securities exchange
or included on the NASDAQ National Market System. The Balanced Fund may invest
up to 20% of total gross assets in foreign securities as well as sponsored
and unsponsored ADRs and EDRs. There may be less information available about
unsponsored ADRs and EDRs, and therefore, they may carry higher credit risks.
There may be less information available about unsponsored ADRs and EDRs, and
therefore, they may carry higher credit risks. The Funds may also invest in
securities of foreign branches of domestic banks and domestic branches of
foreign banks.
Investments in foreign equity and debt securities involve risks
different from those encountered when investing in securities of domestic
issuers. The appropriate Fund Managers and the Advisor, subject to the overall
review of the Funds' Directors, evaluate the risks and opportunities when
investing in foreign securities. Such risks include trade balances and
imbalances and related economic policies; currency exchange rate fluctuations;
foreign exchange control policies; expropriation or confiscatory taxation;
limitations on the removal of funds or other assets; political or social
instability; the diverse structure and liquidity of securities markets in
various countries and regions; policies of governments with respect to possible
nationalization of their own industries; and other specific local, political and
economic considerations.
Forward Commitments
Securities may be purchased on a "when issued" or on a "forward
delivery" basis, which means it may take as long as 120 days before such
obligations are delivered to a Fund. The purpose of such investments is to
attempt to obtain higher rates of return or lower purchase costs than would be
available for securities purchased for immediate delivery. Securities purchased
on a when issued or forward delivery basis involve a risk that the value of the
security to be purchased may decline prior to the settlement date. In addition,
if the dealer through which the trade is made fails to consummate the
transaction, the Fund may lose an advantageous yield or price. The Fund does not
accrue income prior to delivery of the securities in the case of forward
commitment purchases. The 5% limitation does not apply to the International
Growth, Global Financial Services, Government Securities and Tax-Exempt Income
Funds which have a 20% limitation. Because the Internet Fund's liquidity and
ability to manage its portfolio might be affected when it earmarks cash or
portfolio securities to cover such purchase commitments, the Fund Manager
expects that its commitments to purchase when-issued securities and forward
commitments will not exceed 25% of the value of the Fund's total assets absent
unusual market conditions.
Portfolio Depositary Receipts. To the extent otherwise consistent with
its investment policies and applicable law, the Multi-Cap Growth Fund may
invest up to 5% of its total assets in Portfolio Depositary Receipts,
exchange-traded shares issued by investment companies, typically unit
investment trusts, holding portfolios of common stocks designed to replicated
and, therefore, track the performance of various broad securities indexes or
sectors of such indexes. For example, the Fund may invest in Standard & Poor's
Depositary Receipts R (SPDRs), issued by a unit investment trust whose
portfolio tracks the S&P 500 Composite Stock Price Index, or Standard & Poor's
MidCap 400 Depositary Receipts R (MidCap SPDRs), similarly linked to the S&P
Midcap 400 Index.
Short sales. The Multi-Cap Growth Fund may sell securities "short
against the box." While a short sale is the sale of a security the Multi-Cap
Growth Fund does not own, it is "against the box" if at all times when the
short position is open the Multi-Cap Growth Fund owns an equal amount of the
securities or securities convertible into, or exchangeable without further
consideration for, securities of the same issue as the securities sold short.
Convertible Securities. Common stock occupies the most junior position
in a company's capital structure. Convertible securities entitle the holder to
exchange the securities for a specified number of shares of common stock,
usually of the same company, at specified prices within a certain period of
time and to receive interest or dividends until the holder elects to convert.
The provisions of any convertible security determine its ranking in a company's
capital structure. In the case of subordinated convertible debentures, the
holder's claims on assets and earnings are subordinated to the claims of other
creditors, and are senior to the claims of preferred and common shareowners. In
the case of preferred stock and convertible preferred stock, the holder's
claims on assets and earnings are subordinated to the claims of all creditors
but are senior to the claims of common shareowners.
Temporary Defensive Techniques
Any or all of the Funds may at times for defensive purposes, at the
determination of the Fund Manager, temporarily place all or a portion of their
assets in cash, short-term commercial paper (i.e., short-term unsecured
promissory notes issued by corporations to finance short-term credit needs),
United States Government securities, high-quality debt securities (including
"Eurodollar" and "Yankee Dollar" obligations, i.e., U.S. issuer borrowings
payable overseas in
28
<PAGE> 176
U.S. funds and obligations of foreign issuers payable in U.S. funds), and
obligations of banks when in the judgment of the Fund Manager such investments
are appropriate in light of economic or market conditions. The Money Market Fund
may at times for defensive purposes temporarily place all or a portion of its
assets in cash, when in the judgment of the Fund Manager such an investment is
appropriate in light of economic or market conditions. For temporary defensive
purposes, the International Growth Fund and the Global Financial Services Fund
may invest in all of the above, both foreign and domestic, including foreign
currency, foreign time deposits, and foreign bank acceptances. When a Fund takes
a defensive position, it may not be following the fundamental investment policy
of the Fund.
Other Investments. Each Fund may, in the future, be authorized to
invest in securities other than those listed here and in the Prospectus,
provided that such investment would be consistent with that Fund's investment
objective and that it would not violate any fundamental investment policies or
restrictions applicable to the Fund.
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
Each of the Funds has adopted the following investment restrictions and
limitations which cannot be changed as to any individual Fund without approval
by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the relevant Fund. (As
used in this Statement of Additional Information, "a majority of the outstanding
shares of the relevant Fund" means the lesser of (i) 67% of the shares of the
relevant Fund represented at a meeting at which more than 50% of the outstanding
shares of that Fund are represented in person or by proxy or (ii) more than 50%
of the outstanding shares of the relevant Fund.) Except as otherwise set forth,
no Fund may:
1. As to 75% of its assets purchase the securities of any issuer if
such purchase would cause more than 5% of the value of its assets to be invested
in the securities of such issuer (except U.S. Government securities or those of
its agencies or instrumentalities as defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940), or purchase more than 10% of the outstanding securities, or more than 10%
of the outstanding voting securities, of any issuer. For purposes of this
restriction, each Fund will regard the entity which has ultimate responsibility
for the payment of interest and principal as the issuer.
2. Purchase securities of any company that has a continuous operating
history of less than three years (including that of predecessors) if such
securities would cause the Fund's investment in such companies taken at cost to
exceed 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets. (The Multi-Cap Fund, Global
Financial Services, the Internet Fund, High-Yield Bond and Tax-Exempt Income
Funds are not subject to this restriction.)
3. Purchase securities on margin, but it may obtain such short-term
credits as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of
securities and may make initial and maintenance margin deposits in connection
with options and futures contracts options on futures as permitted by its
investment program.
4. With respect to all Funds, other than the Internet Fund and the
Balanced Fund, make short sales of securities, unless at the time of such sale,
it owns, or has the right to acquire at no additional cost to the Fund as the
result of the ownership of convertible or exchange securities, an equal amount
of such securities, and it will retain such securities so long as it is in a
short portion as to them. In no event will a Fund make short sales of
securities in
29
<PAGE> 177
such a manner that the value of its net assets used to cover such sales would
exceed 15% of the value of its net assets at any time. The short sales of the
type described above, which are called "short sales against the box," may be
used by a Fund when management believes that they will protect profits or limit
losses in investments.
5. Borrow money, except that a Fund may borrow from banks as a
temporary measure for emergency purposes and not for investment, in which case
such borrowings may not be in excess of the lesser of: (a) 10% of its total
assets taken at cost; or (b) 10% of the value of its assets at the time that the
loan is made. A Fund will not purchase securities while borrowings are
outstanding. A Fund will not pledge, mortgage or hypothecate its assets taken at
market value to an extent greater than the lesser of 10% of the value of its
net assets or 5% of the value of its total assets taken at cost.
6. Purchase or retain the securities of any issuer if those officers
and directors of a Fund or of its investment adviser holding individually more
than 1/2 of 1% of the securities of such issuer together own more than 5% of the
securities of such issuer. (The Global Financial Services Fund, the Multi-Cap
Growth, the Internet Fund and the Balanced Fund are not subject to this
restriction).
7. Purchase the securities of any other investment company except in
the open market in a transaction involving no commission or profit to a sponsor
or dealer (other than the customary sales load or broker's commission) or as a
part of a merger, consolidation, acquisition or reorganization. (The Internet
Fund, the Multi-Cap Growth, and the Balanced Fund are not subject to this
restriction.
8. Invest in real estate; this restriction does not prohibit a Fund
from investing in the securities of real estate investment trusts.
9. Invest for the purpose of exercising control of management of any
company.
10. Underwrite securities issued by others except to the extent that
the disposal of an investment position may qualify any Fund or the Corporation
as an underwriter as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended,
11. Except for the Money Market Fund, the Government Securities Fund,
the Internet Fund and the Global Financial Services Fund, make any investment
which would cause more than 25% of the total assets of the Fund to be invested
in securities issued by companies principally engaged in any one industry;
provided, however, that: (i) this limitation does not apply to investments in
U.S. Government Securities as well as its agencies and instrumentalities,
general obligation bonds, municipal securities other than industrial development
bonds issued by non-governmental users, and (ii) utility companies will be
divided according to their services (for example, gas, gas transmission,
electric, electric and gas, and telephone will each be considered a separate
industry). The Money Market Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in
U.S. Government Securities as well as its agencies and instrumentalities and
certain bank instruments issued by domestic banks. The instruments in which the
Money Market Fund
30
<PAGE> 178
may invest in excess of 25%, in the aggregate, of its total assets are letters
of credit and guarantees, negotiable certificates of deposit, time deposits,
commercial paper and bankers acceptances meeting the investment criteria for the
Money Market Fund. The Global Financial Services Fund will invest 25% or more of
its total assets in companies in the financial services industry. The Internet
Fund will invest more than 25% of its assets in securities of companies engaged
in the research, design, development, manufacturing or distribution of
products, processes or services for use with the Internet or Intranet related
businesses.
12. Participate with others in any trading account. This restriction
does not prohibit the Corporation or any Fund from combining portfolio orders
with those of other Funds or other clients of the investment adviser or Fund
Managers when to do so would permit the Corporation and one or more Funds to
obtain a large-volume discount from ordinary brokerage commissions when
negotiated rates are available. (The Global Financial Services Fund, the
Multi-Cap Growth Fund, the Internet Fund and the Balanced Fund are not subject
to this restriction).
13. Invest more than 10% of its total assets in securities which are
subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or are otherwise not
readily salable. (The Global Financial Services Fund, the Multi-Cap Growth Fund
and the Internet Fund are not subject to this restriction.)
14. Issue senior securities, except as permitted by the Investment
Company Act of 1940 and rules thereunder.
15. Invest in commodities or commodities contracts, except the Funds
may purchase and sell options, futures contracts and options on futures
contracts in accordance with their investment policies as set forth in this
registration statement.
16. Make loans, except by purchasing debt securities or entering into
repurchase agreements, in each case in accordance with its investment policies
as set forth in this Statement of Additional Information.
In addition, management of the Corporation has adopted the following
restrictions which apply to all of the Funds and may be changed only by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation. No Fund will: (i) lend its assets to any
person or individual, except by the purchase of bonds or other debt obligations
customarily sold to institutional investors, (ii) invest more than 5% of the
value of its net assets, in warrants (iii) invest in oil, gas, or other mineral
leases or engage in arbitrage transactions, or (iv) invest more than 15% of its
total assets in the securities of real estate investment trusts ("REITs").
31
<PAGE> 179
If a percentage restriction is adhered to at the time of an investment,
a later increase or decrease in the investment's percentage of the value of a
Fund's total assets resulting from a change in portfolio value or assets will
not constitute a violation of the percentage restrictions.
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
A portfolio turnover rate is, in summary, the percentage computed by
dividing the lesser of a Fund's purchases or sales of securities excluding
short-term securities by the average market value of that Fund. The Fund
Managers intend to manage each Fund's assets by buying and selling securities to
help attain its investment objective. This may result in increases or decreases
in a Fund's current income available for distribution to its shareholders. While
none of the Funds is managed with the intent of generating short-term capital
gains, each of the Funds may dispose of investments (including money market
instruments) regardless of the holding period if, in the opinion of the Fund
Manager, an issuer's creditworthiness or perceived changes in a company's growth
prospects or asset value make selling them advisable. Such an investment
decision may result in capital gains or losses and could result in a high
portfolio turnover rate during a given period, resulting in increased
transaction costs related to equity securities. Disposing of debt securities in
these circumstances should not increase direct transaction costs since debt
securities are normally traded on a principal basis without brokerage
commissions. However, such transactions do involve a mark-up or mark-down of the
price.
The portfolio turnover rates of the Funds cannot be accurately
predicted. Nevertheless, the annual portfolio turnover rates of the Funds (other
than the Money Market Fund for which, due to the short-term nature of its
investment, a portfolio turn-over rate is not applicable and the High-Yield Bond
Fund) are not expected to exceed 100%. A 100% portfolio turnover rate would
occur, for example, if all the securities in a Fund's investment portfolio were
replaced once in a period of one year.
The portfolio turnover rate for the Enterprise High-Yield Bond Fund was
180.13% in 1996, and 175.38% in 1997. These rates exceeded 100% due to several
factors, including a declining level of interest rates, a reduction in risk
premiums, and healthy stock and bank loan markets. As a result of these
conditions, the Fund experienced an abnormally high amount of redemptions and
tenders for existing positions. The Fund Manager has taken measures to
potentially improve the overall call protection of the Fund in order to capture
the total return potentially made available by declining medium and long-term
interest rates.
During 1998, the portfolio turnover rate for the Small Company Growth
Fund exceeded 100% due to a change in management style which resulted from the
appointment of a new Fund Manager.
During 1996, the portfolio turnover rate for the Small Company Value
Fund was 143.58%. It exceeded 100% principally due to a change in management
style which resulted from the appointment of a new Fund Manager. In 1997, the
portfolio turnover rate for the Fund was 62.51%. The rate also exceeded 100%
during 1998 in order to employ the Fund Manager's strategy of selling shares of
stock once a catalyst has driven the stock's price to a target selling price.

The Fund Managers have advised the Corporation that they may assist in a portion
of the above-referenced reimbursement from time to time.
The Advisory Agreement provides that in the absence of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard for its
obligations thereunder,the Advisor, as the case may be, is not liable for any
act or omission in the course of, or in connection with, the rendition of
services thereunder. The Agreement permits the Advisor to act as investment
advisor for any other person or firm.
The Advisor and the Corporation entered into agreements pursuant to
which the Advisor advanced on behalf of the Corporation $33,748 to cover the
costs of expanding the series to include a Small Company Value Fund; $34,116 of
expanding the series to include a Managed Fund; and $40,378 for expanding the
series to include an Equity Fund and completing the appropriate registrations
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Securities Act of 1933, and
certain state securities laws. The agreements provide that these amounts will be
repaid by each Fund, in five equal annual increments without interest,
commencing at the end of the first fiscal year at which each such Fund have
total net assets of $5 million or more. Each Fund has commenced such payments.
The Advisor's Agreement authorizes the Advisor to enter into
subadvisory agreements with various investment advisers as Fund Managers for the
Funds. The Fund Manager's Agreements are substantially the same in all material
respects except for the names of the Fund Managers and the rates of
compensation, which consist of a portion of the management fee that is paid by
the Corporation to the Advisor and which the Advisor pays to the Fund Managers.
The Advisor and the Corporation have received an exemptive order from
the Securities and Exchange Commission which permits the Corporation, subject
to, among other things, initial shareholder authority, to thereafter enter into
or amend Fund Manager Agreements without obtaining shareholder approval each
time. Shareholders voted affirmatively to give the Corporation this ongoing
authority. With Board approval, the Advisor is permitted to employ new Fund
Managers for the Funds, change the terms of the Fund Manager Agreements or enter
into a new Agreement with that Fund Manager. Shareholders of a Fund continue to
have the right to terminate the Fund Manager's Agreement for the Fund at any
time by a vote of the majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.
Shareholders will be notified of any Fund Manager changes or other material
amendments to Fund Manager Agreements that occur under these arrangements.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER SERVICES
Investment Advisory Agreement
The Corporation, on behalf of each Fund, has entered into an Investment
Advisory Agreement (the "Advisor's Agreement") with the Advisor which, in turn,
has entered into Fund Manager's Agreements with each of the Fund Managers. The
Advisor is a subsidiary of MONY Life Insurance Company ("MONY"), one of the
nation's largest insurance companies, and is a second-tier subsidiary of The
MONY Group Inc. The Advisor was incorporated in 1986. The Advisor's address is
3343 Peachtree Road, Suite 450, Atlanta, Georgia 30326. Victor Ugolyn, who is
President of the Fund, is also Chairman of the Board and President of the
Advisor.
The Advisor's Agreement obligates the Advisor to provide investment
advisory services to the Funds, to furnish the Corporation with certain
administrative, clerical, bookkeeping and statistical services, office space and
facilities, and to pay the compensation of the officers of the Corporation. Each
Fund pays all other expenses incurred in its operation, including redemption
expenses, expenses of portfolio transactions, shareholder servicing costs,
mailing costs, expenses of registering the shares under federal and state
securities laws, accounting and pricing costs (including the daily calculation
of net asset value and daily dividends), interest, certain taxes, legal
services, auditing services, charges of the custodian and transfer agent, and
other expenses attributable to an individual account. Each Fund also pays a
portion of the Corporation's general administrative expenses. These expenses are
allocated to the Funds either on the basis of their asset size, on the basis of
special needs of any Fund, or equally as is deemed appropriate. These expenses
include expenses such as: directors' fees; custodial, transfer agent, brokerage,
auditing and legal services; the printing of prospectuses, proxies, registration
statements and shareholder reports sent to existing shareholders; printing and
issuance of stock certificates; expenses relating to bookkeeping, recording and
determining the net asset value of shares; the expenses of qualification of a
Fund's shares under the federal and state securities laws; and any other
expenses properly payable by the Corporation that are allocable to the
respective Funds. Litigation costs, if any, may be directly allocable to the
Funds or allocated on the basis of the size of the respective Funds. The Board
of Directors annually reviews allocation of expenses among the Funds and has
been determined that this is an appropriate method of allocation of expenses.

Distributor's Agreements and Plans of Distribution
The Distributor is a subsidiary of Enterprise Capital Management, Inc.
The Distributor's principal business address is Atlanta Financial Center, 3343
Peachtree Road, N.E., Suite 450, Atlanta, Georgia 30326.
Class A, Class B and Class C shares of each Fund have adopted a
separate Distribution Plan (the "Plans") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. Under the Plans, Class A, Class B and Class C
shares of each of the Funds are authorized to pay the Distributor a distribution
fee for expenses incurred in connection with the continuous distribution of
shares of the Fund and an account maintenance fee for shareholder servicing.
There is no Distribution Plan in effect for Class Y shares.
Class A Shares. Class A shares of each Fund (except Money Market Fund)
pay the Distributor an account maintenance and distribution fee at the annual
rate of .45% of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A
shares.
Class B Shares. Class B shares of each Fund (except Money Market Fund)
pay the Distributor a distribution fee at the annual rate of 0.75% of each
Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class B shares. Class B shares
of each Fund (except Money Market Fund) also pay an account maintenance fee at
the annual rate of 0.25% of each Fund's average daily net assets.
Class C Shares. Class C shares of each Fund (except Money Market Fund)
pay the Distributor a distribution fee at the annual rate of 0.75% of each
Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. Class C shares
of each Fund (except Money Market Fund) also pay an account maintenance fee at
the annual rate of 0.25% of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to
Class C shares.
Use of Distribution and Account Maintenance Fees. All or a portion of
the distribution fees paid by Class A, B or C shares may be used by the
Distributor to pay costs of printing reports and prospectuses for potential
investors and the costs of other distribution expenses. All or a portion of the
account maintenance fees paid by the Class A, Class B or Class C shares may be
paid to broker-dealers or others for the provision of personal continuing
services to shareholders, including such matters as responding to shareholder
inquiries concerning the status of their accounts and assistance in account
maintenance matters such as changes in address. Payments under the Plans are not
limited to amounts actually paid or expenses actually incurred by the
Distributor but cannot exceed the maximum rate set by the Plans or by the Board.
It is, therefore, possible that the Distributor may realize a profit in a
particular year as a result of these payments. The Plans have the effect of
increasing the Corporation's expenses from what they would otherwise be. The
Board reviews the Corporation's distribution and account maintenance fee
payments and may reduce or eliminate the fee at any time without further
obligation of the Corporation.
In addition to distribution and account maintenance fees paid by the
Corporation under Class A, Class B and Class C Plans, the Advisor (or one of its
affiliates) may make payments to
48
<PAGE> 196
dealers (including MONY Securities Corp.) and other persons which distribute
shares of the Funds (including Class Y shares). Such payments may be calculated
by reference to the net asset value of shares sold by such persons or otherwise.

- -----------------
* During the period from November 3, 1997 through December 31, 1997
the Distributor reallowed the full applicable sales charge to
certain broker/dealers with respect to the sale of shares of the
Growth and Income Fund, Equity Fund, and Small Company Growth Fund.
MISCELLANEOUS
The terms of each of the Advisor's Agreement, the Distributor's
Agreements and 12b-1 Plans, the Transfer Agent Agreement, the Accounting
Agreement and the Fund Manager's Agreements (each an "Agreement," and
collectively, the "Agreements") provide that each such Agreement: (i) will
automatically terminate upon "assignment," as such term is defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940; (ii) must be approved annually by the
Corporation's Board of Directors or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities; and (iii) must be approved annually in person by vote of a
majority of the Directors of the Corporation who are not parties to such
contract or "interested persons" (as such term is defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940) of such party. Each Agreement further provides that it can
be terminated without penalty by either party thereto upon 60 days written
notice to the other party.
Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Securities being Offered
Information concerning purchase and redemption of shares of the Funds,
as well as information concerning computation of net asset value per share is
set forth in the Prospectus.
Each Fund offers four separate classes of shares: Class A, B, C and Y
shares. Each Class of shares of a Fund represents an identical interest in the
investment portfolio of that Fund and has the same rights, except that (i) each
class may bear differing amounts of certain class-specific expenses, (ii) Class
A shares are subject to an initial sales charge, a distribution fee and service
fee, (iii) Class B and Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales
charge ("CDSC"), a distribution fee and an
49
<PAGE> 197
ongoing service fee, (iv) only Class B shares have a conversion feature; (v) the
Class A, B and C shares have exclusive voting rights with respect to matters
related to distribution and servicing expenditures; (vi) Class Y shares are not
subject to any sales charge or any distribution, account maintenance or service
fee, and (vii) the Classes have separate exchange privileges. In addition, the
income attributable to each Class and the dividends payable on the shares of
each Class will be reduced by the amount of the distribution fee or service fee,
if any, payable by that Class. The distribution-related fees paid with respect
to any Class will not be used to finance the distribution expenditures of
another Class. Sales personnel may receive different compensation for selling
different Classes of shares.
Fund shares are purchased at the net asset value (plus, with the
exception of the Money Market Fund Class A shares and Class Y shares of each
fund, the applicable sales charge) next determined after the application for
purchase of shares is received by the Enterprise Shareholder Services Division
of the Fund's Transfer Agent, National Financial Data Services, Inc. (the
"Transfer Agent"). The sales charge may be imposed, at the election of the
investor, at the time of purchase (Class A shares) or may be deferred (Class B
and C shares and Class A shares in excess of $1,000,000). Purchases can be made
through most investment dealers who, as part of the service they provide, must
transmit orders promptly.
Initial Sales Charge Waivers and Reductions
No sales charge applies to purchases of Class A shares by any of the
following: (a) selling brokers, their employees and their registered
representatives; (b) employees, clients or direct referrals of any Fund Manager
or of Evaluation Associates, Inc. ("EAI"); (c) directors, former directors,
employees or retirees of the Fund or of The MONY Group Inc. and its
subsidiaries; (d) family including spouses, parents, siblings, children,
grandchildren and employee benefit plans of any of (a), (b) and (c) above; (e)
certain employee benefit plans qualified under Sections 401 and 403 of the IRC,
including salary reduction plans qualified under Section 401(k) of IRC and
certain payroll deduction plans, subject to minimum requirements with respect to
number of participants or plan assets which may be established by the
Distributor; (f) MONY and its subsidiaries; (g) clients of fee-based financial
planners; and (h) financial institutions and financial institutions' trust
departments for funds over which they exercise exclusive discretionary
investment authority and which are held in fiduciary, agency, advisory,
custodial or similar capacity.
In addition, members of certain associations, fraternal groups,
franchise organizations and unions may enter into an agreement with the
Distributor which allows members to purchase Class A shares at a sales load
equal to 75% of the applicable sales charge, subject to minimum requirements,
with respect to number of participants or plan assets which may be established
by the Distributor. The Dealer Discount will also be adjusted in like manner.
An investor seeking a reduction in sales charge with respect to a
waiver of sales charge by reason of being a member of the above-described
groups, must describe the basis for the requested reduction or waiver in
documents accompanying any new investment. The
50
<PAGE> 198
Corporation may terminate, or amend the terms of, offering shares of a Fund at
net asset value or at a reduced sales charge at any time.
Exemptions from Class A, B and C CDSC
No CDSC will be imposed when a shareholder redeems Class A, B or C
shares in the following instances: (a) shares or amounts representing increases
in the value of an account above the net cost of the investment due to increases
in the net asset value per share; (b) shares acquired through reinvestment of
income dividends or capital gains distributions; (c) shares acquired by exchange
from any Fund, other than the Class A Money Market fund where the exchanged
shares would not have been subject to a CDSC upon redemption; and (d) Class A
shares purchased in the amount of $1 million or more if held for more than
twenty-four (24) months, Class B shares held for more than six years and Class C
shares held for more than one year.
In determining whether the Class A, B or C CDSC is payable, it will be
assumed that shares that are not subject to a CDSC are redeemed first and that
other shares are then redeemed in the order purchased. No CDSC will be imposed
on exchanges to purchase shares of another Fund although a CDSC will be imposed
on shares (when redeemed) of the acquired Fund purchased by exchange of shares
subject to a CDSC. The holding period of shares subject to a CDSC that are
exchanged will be deemed to commence as of the date of the initial investment.
Special Fiduciary Relationships. The CDSC will not apply with respect
to purchase of Class A shares for which the seller dealer is not permitted to
receive a sales load or redemption fee imposed on a shareholder with whom such
dealer has a fiduciary relationship in accordance with the provisions of the
such dealer agrees to the reimbursement provision described below, no sales
charge will be imposed on sales of $1,000,000 or more and the Distributor will
pay to the selling dealer a commission described in the Prospectus.
For the period of 13 months from the date of the sales referred to in
the above paragraph, the distribution fee payable by a Fund to the Distributor
pursuant to the Fund's Distribution Plan in connection with such shares will be
retained by the Distributor. In the event of a redemption of any such shares
within 24 months of purchase, the selling dealer will reimburse the Distributor
for the amount of commission paid less the amount of the distribution fee with
respect to such shares.
CDSC Waivers and Reductions
The CDSC will be waived in the event of: (a) distributions to
participants or beneficiaries and redemptions (other than redemption of the
entire plan) by certain plans, including participant-directed qualified
retirement qualified under Section 401(a) of the IRC or from custodial accounts
under the IRC Section 403(b)(7), individual retirement accounts under the IRC
Section 408(a), participant-directed non-qualified deferred compensation plans
under the IRC section 457 and other employee benefit plans ("plans"), and
returns of excess contributions made to these
51
<PAGE> 199
plans; (b) redemption of shares of a shareholder (including a registered joint
owner) who has died; (c) redemption of shares of a shareholder (including a
registered joint owner) who after purchase of the shares being redeemed becomes
totally disabled (as evidenced by a determination by the federal Social Security
Administration); (d) withdrawals under a systematic withdrawal plan where the
annual withdrawal does not exceed 10% of the net asset value of the account
(only for Class B shares); and (e) liquidation of a shareholder's account if the
aggregate net asset value of shares held in the account is less than the
required minimum. The CDSC will also be waived for redemptions made pursuant to
any IRA systematic withdrawal based on the shareholder's life expectancy
including, but not limited to, substantially equal periodic payments described
in IRC Section 72(t)(2)(A)(iv) prior to age 59 1/2 and required minimum
distributions after age 70 1/2. A shareholder will be credited with any CDSC
paid in connection with the redemption of any Class A, B, or C shares if within
180 days after such redemption, the proceeds are invested in the same class of
shares in the same and/or another Fund.
SERVICES FOR INVESTORS
For the convenience of investors, the following plans are available.
Investors should realize that none of these plans can guarantee profit or insure
against loss. The costs of these shareholder plans (exclusive of the employee
benefit plans) are paid by the Distributor, except for the normal cost of
issuing shares, which is paid by the Corporation.
AUTOMATIC REINVESTMENT PLAN. All shareholders, unless they request
otherwise, are enrolled in the Automatic Reinvestment Plan under which dividends
and capital gains distributions on their shares are automatically reinvested in
shares of the same Class of Fund(s) at the net asset value per share computed on
the record date of such dividends and capital gains distributions. The Automatic
Reinvestment Plan may be terminated by participants or by the Corporation at any
time. No sales charge is applied upon reinvestment of dividends or capital
gains.
AUTOMATIC BANK DRAFT PLAN. An Automatic Bank Draft Plan is available
for investors who wish to purchase shares of one or more of the Funds in amounts
of $25 or more on a regular basis by having the amount of the investment
automatically deducted from the investor's checking account. The minimum initial
investment for this Plan is $100. Forms authorizing this service are available
from the Corporation.
AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN. An investor may debit any Class of a Fund
Account on a monthly basis for automatic investments into one or more of the
other Funds of the same Class. The Fund from which the investment will be made
is subject to the $1,000 minimum. The
52
<PAGE> 200
investor may then choose to have $50 or more transferred to either an
established Fund, or they may open a new account subject to an initial minimum
investment of $100.
Letter of Intent Investments. Any investor may execute a Letter of
Intent covering purchases of Class A shares of $100,000 or more, at the public
offering price, of Fund shares to be made within a period of 13 months. A
reduced sales charge will be applicable to the total dollar amount of Class A
shares purchased in the 13-month period provided at least $100,000 is purchased.
The minimum initial investment under a Letter of Intent is 5% of the amount
indicated in the Letter of Intent. Class A shares purchased with the first 5% of
such amount will be held in escrow (while remaining registered in the name of
the investor) to secure payment of the higher sales charge applicable to the
shares actually purchased if the full amount indicated is not purchased, and
such escrowed shares will be involuntarily redeemed to pay the additional sales
charge, if necessary. When the full amount indicated has been purchased, the
escrow will be released.
Investors wishing to enter into a Letter of Intent in conjunction with
their investment in Class A shares of the Funds should complete the appropriate
portion of the new account application.
Right of Accumulation Discount. Investors who make an additional
purchase of Class A shares of a Fund which, when combined with the value of
their existing aggregate holdings of shares of a Fund, each calculated at the
then applicable net asset value per share, at the time of the additional
purchase, equals $100,000 or more, will be entitled to the reduced sales charge
shown under "Shareholder Account Information-Class A Shares-Initial Sales Charge
Option" in the Prospectus on the full amount of each additional purchase. For
purposes of determining the discount, holdings of Fund shares of the investor's
spouse, immediate family or accounts controlled by the investor, whether as a
single investor or trustee of, or participant in, pooled and similar accounts,
will be aggregated upon notification of applicable accounts from the investor.
Checkwriting. A check redemption feature is available on the Money
Market Fund Class A shares with opening balances of $5,000 or more. Redemption
checks may be made payable to the order of any person in any amount from $500 to
$100,000. Up to five redemption checks per month may be written without charge.
Each additional redemption check over five in a given month will be subject to a
$5 fee. Redemption checks are free and may be obtained from the Transfer Agent
or by contacting the Advisor. A $25 fee will be imposed on any account for
stopping payment of a redemption check upon request of the shareholder. It is
not possible to use a redemption check to close out an account since additional
shares accrue daily.
Systematic Withdrawal Plan. Investors may elect a Systematic Withdrawal
Plan under which a fixed sum will be paid monthly, quarterly, or annually. There
is no minimum withdrawal payment required. Shares in the Plan are held on
deposit in noncertificate form and any capital gain distributions and dividends
from investment income are invested in additional shares of the Fund(s)at net
asset value. Shares in the Plan account are then redeemed at net asset
53
<PAGE> 201
value to make each withdrawal payment. Redemptions for the purpose of
withdrawals are made on or about the 15th day of the month of payment at that
day's closing net asset value, and checks are mailed within five days of the
redemption date. Such distributions are subject to applicable taxation.
Because withdrawal payments may include a return of principal,
redemptions for the purpose of making such payments may reduce or even use up
the investment, depending upon the size of the payments and the fluctuations of
the market price of the underlying Fund securities. For this reason, the
payments cannot be considered as a yield of income on the investment.
Retirement Plans. The Corporation offers various Retirement Plans: IRA
(generally for all individuals with employment income); 403(b)(7) (for employees
of certain tax-exempt organizations and schools); and corporate pension and
profit sharing (including a 401(k) option) plans. For full details as to these
plans, you should request a copy of the plan document from the Transfer Agent.
After reading the plan, you may wish to consult a competent financial or tax
adviser if you are uncertain that the plan is appropriate for your needs.
Conversion of Class B Shares
Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares of the same
Fund eight years after the end of the calendar month in which the purchase order
for Class B shares was accepted, on the basis of the relative net asset values
of the two classes and subject to the following terms: Class B shares acquired
through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions ("reinvested Class B
shares") will be converted to Class A shares on a pro rata basis only when Class
B shares not acquired through reinvestment of dividends or distributions
("purchased Class B shares") are converted. The portion of reinvested Class B
shares to be converted will be determined by the ratio that the purchased Class
B shares eligible for conversion bear to the total amount of purchased Class B
shares eligible in the shareholder's account. For the purposes of calculating
the holding period, Class B shares will be deemed to have been issued on the
sooner of: (a) the date on which the issuance of Class B shares occurred, or (b)
for Class B shares obtained by an exchange or series of exchanges, the date on
which the issuance of the original Class B shares occurred. This conversion to
Class A shares will relieve Class B shares that have been outstanding for at
least eight years (a period of time sufficient for the Distributor to have been
compensated for distribution expenses related to such Class B shares) from the
higher ongoing distribution fee paid by Class B shares. Only Class B shares have
this conversion feature. Conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares is
contingent on the continuing availability of a private letter revenue ruling
from the Internal Revenue Service affirming that such conversion does not
constitute a taxable event for the shareholder under the IRC. If such revenue
ruling or an opinion of counsel is no longer available, conversion of Class B
shares to Class A shares would have to be suspended, and Class B shares would
continue to be subject to the Class B distribution fee until redeemed.
54
<PAGE> 202
Exchange Privilege
An exchange represents the sale of shares of one Fund and the purchase
of shares of another, which may produce a gain or loss for tax purposes.
Shares of a Fund which are not subject to a CDSC exchange will be
processed at the net asset value next determined after the Transfer Agent
receives your exchange request. Shares of a Fund which are subject to a CDSC
will be exchangeable on the basis of the relative net asset value per share
without payment of any CDSC which might otherwise be due upon redemption of the
shares of the Fund. For purposes of computing the CDSC that may be payable upon
a disposition of the shares acquired in the exchange, the holding period for the
previously owned shares of the Fund is "tacked" onto the holding period for the
newly acquired shares of the other Enterprise Fund. The exchange feature may be
modified or discontinued at any time, upon notice to shareholders in accordance
with applicable rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Your exchange may be processed only if the shares of the Fund to be acquired are
eligible for sale in your state and if the exchange privilege may be legally
offered in your state.
Exchange of Class A Shares. You may exchange your Class A shares for
Class A shares of any other Fund. Class A shares of any Fund cannot be exchanged
for Class B, C or Y shares of any other Fund.
Exchange of Class B Shares. Class B shares of all Fund are exchangeable
for Class B shares of any other Enterprise Fund. Class B shares of any Fund
cannot be exchanged for Class A, C or Y shares of any other Fund.
Exchange of Class C Shares. Class C shares of all Funds are
exchangeable for Class C shares of any other Fund. Class C shares of any Fund
cannot be exchanged for Class A, B or Y shares of any other Fund.
Exchange of Class Y Shares. Class Y shares of all Funds are
exchangeable for Class Y shares of any other Fund. Class Y shares of any Fund
cannot be exchanged for Class A, B or C shares of any other Fund.
The minimum initial investment rules applicable to a Fund apply to any
exchange where the exchange results in a new account being opened in such Fund.
Exchanged into existing accounts are not subject to minimum amount. Original
investment in the Money Market Fund which are transferred to other Funds are not
considered Fund exchanges but purchases.
Redemptions -- General
Payment for redeemed shares is ordinarily made within seven days after
receipt by the corporation's transfer agent of redemption instructions in
proper form. The redemption privilege may be suspended or payment may be
postponed for more than seven days during any period when: (1) the NYSE is
closed other than for customary weekend or holiday closings or trading thereon
is restricted as determined by the securities and exchange commission; (2) an
emergency, as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, exists making
trading of fund securities or valuation of net assets not reasonably
practicable; (3) the Securities and Exchange Commission has by order permitted
such suspension or delay.
The Corporation reserves the right to redeem an account at its option
upon not less than 45 days' written notice if an account's net asset value is
$500 or less and remains so during the notice period.
Redemptions in Kind
The Corporation's Articles of Incorporation provide that it may redeem
its shares in cash or with a pro rata portion of the assets of the Corporation.
To date, all redemptions have been made in cash, and the Corporation anticipates
that all redemptions will be made in cash in the future. In order to meet the
requirements of certain state laws, the Corporation has elected, pursuant to
Rule 18f-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, to commit itself to pay in
cash all requests for redemption by any shareholder of record, limited in amount
with respect to each shareholder during any 90-day period to the lesser of: (i)
$250,000; or (ii) 1% of the net asset value of the Corporation at the beginning
of such period. If shares are redeemed through a distribution of
55
<PAGE> 203
the recipient would incur brokerage commissions upon the sale of such
securities.
Determination of Net Asset Value
The net asset value of each Fund's shares is determined once daily as
of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on each day on which the NYSE is
open for trading. The Funds may own securities that are primarily listed on
foreign exchanges which trade on Saturday or other customary United States
national business holidays. If the Funds do not price their securities on these
days, their net asset values may be significantly affected on days when
investors have no access to the Funds. The net asset value per share is
effective as of the time of computation.
Money Market Fund. The net asset value of the Money Market Fund is
computed by dividing the total value of the Fund's assets, less liabilities
(including dividends payable), by the number of shares outstanding. The assets
are determined by valuing the Fund securities at amortized cost, pursuant to
Rule 2a-7. The amortized cost method of valuation involves valuing a security at
cost at the time of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to
maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating
interest rates on the market value of the instrument.
The purpose of the amortized cost method of valuation is to attempt to
maintain a constant net asset value per share of $1.00. While this method
provides certainty in valuation, it may result in periods during which value, as
determined by amortized cost, is slightly higher or lower than the price the
Fund would receive if it sold its securities. Under the direction of the Board
of Directors, certain procedures have been adopted to monitor and stabilize the
price per share. Calculations are made to compare the value of the Fund's
securities, valued at amortized cost, with market values. Market valuations are
obtained by using actual quotations provided by market makers, estimates of
market value, or values obtained from yield data relating to classes of money
market instruments published by reputable sources at the bid prices for those
instruments. If a deviation of 1/2 of 1% or more between the $1.00 per share net
asset value and the net asset value calculated by reference to market valuations
has occurred, or if there are any other deviations which the Board of Directors
believes will result in dilution or other unfair results material to
shareholders, the Board of Directors will consider what action, if any, should
be initiated. The Money Market Fund seeks to maintain a constant net asset value
of $1.00 but there can be no assurance that the Money Market Fund will be able
to maintain a stable net asset value.

The market value of debt securities usually reflects yields generally
available on securities of similar quality. When yields decline, the market
value of the Fund holding higher yielding securities can be expected to
increase; when yields increase, the market value of the Fund invested at lower
yields can be expected to decline. In addition, if the Fund has net redemptions
at a time when interest rates have increased, the Fund may be forced to sell
Fund securities prior to maturity at a price below the Fund's carrying value.
Also, rather than market value, any yield quoted may be different from the yield
that would result if the entire Fund were valued at market value, since the
amortized cost method does not take market fluctuations into consideration.
Other Funds. The Funds, other than the Money Market Fund, calculate a
share's net asset value by dividing the net assets of the Fund by the
number of shares then outstanding of such Fund.
Computation of Offering Price Per Share. The following is the offering
price calculation for each Class of shares of each Fund. The Class A, Class B
and Class C calculations are based on the value of each Fund's net assets and
number of shares outstanding on December 31, 1998.

Fund Transactions and Brokerage
Each Fund Manager selects the brokerage firms which complete portfolio
transactions for that Fund, subject to the overall direction and review of the
Advisor and the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
The initial criterion which must be met by any Fund Manager in
selecting brokers and dealers to effect securities transactions for a Fund is
whether such brokers and dealers can obtain
61
<PAGE> 209
the most favorable combination of price and execution for the transaction. This
does not mean that the execution decision must be based solely on whether the
lowest possible commission costs may be obtained. In seeking to achieve the best
combination of price and execution, the Fund Managers evaluate the overall
quality and reliability of broker-dealers and the service they provide,
including their general execution capability, reliability and integrity,
willingness to take positions in securities, general operational capabilities
and financial condition.
Subject to this primary objective, the Fund Managers may select for
brokerage transactions those firms which furnish brokerage and research
services, including analyses and reports concerning issuers, industries,
securities, economic factors and trends, to the Corporation, the Advisor, and
the respective Fund Managers, or those firms who agree to pay certain of the
Corporation's expenses, including certain custodial and transfer agent services,
and, consistent with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
Conduct Rules, those firms which have been active in selling shares of the
Corporation. If in the judgment of the Fund Manager the Fund will be benefitted
by supplemental research services, a broker furnishing such services may be paid
brokerage commissions which are in excess of commissions which another broker
may have charged for effecting the same transaction. Fund Managers may execute
brokerage transactions through affiliated broker/dealers, subject to compliance
with applicable requirements of the federal securities laws.
The following table sets forth the amounts of the brokerage commissions
paid to broker-dealers by each Fund for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.

PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS
From time to time the Corporation may advertise a Fund's average annual
total return, other total return data, or yield. Total return and yield are
calculated separately for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares. Total
return figures are based on the Fund's historical performance and are not
intended to indicate future performance.
Average annual total return is calculated by finding the average annual
compounded rates of return over the specified periods that would equate the
initial amount invested to the ending redemption value according to the
following formula: Average annual total return is computed assuming all
dividends and distributions are reinvested when received and taking into account
all applicable recurring and nonrecurring expenses.
64
<PAGE> 212
P(1+T)n=ERV
Where: P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
T = average annual total return
N = number of
ERV = ending redeemable value of hypothetical $1,000 payment made at
the beginning of the specified periods at the end of the
specified periods.
Each Fund also may quote annual, average annual and annualized total
return and aggregate total return performance data, both as a percentage and as
a dollar amount based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Such data will be
computed as described above, except that as required by the periods of the
quotations, actual annual, annualized or aggregate data, rather than average
annual data may be quoted. Actual annual or annualized total return data
generally will be lower than average total return data since the average rates
of return reflect compounding of return; aggregate total return data generally
will be higher than average annual total return data since the aggregate rates
of return reflect compounding over a longer period of time.
Yield quotations for the Funds, other than the Money Market Fund, is
calculated by dividing net investment income of a Fund per share earned during a
30 day period by the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the
period according to the following formula:
Yield=2[(a-b/cd+1)6-1]
Where: a = dividends and interest earned during the period.
b = expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements).
c = the average daily number of shares outstanding during the period,
that were entitled to receive dividends.
d = the maximum offer price per share on the last day of the period.
Yield quotations for the Money Market Fund will be computed based on a
seven day period by determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes and
income other than investment income, in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing
account having a balance of one share at the beginning of the period,
subtracting a hypothetical change reflecting deductions from shareholder
accounts, and dividing the difference by the value of the account at the
beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return, and then
multiplying the base period return by (365/7) with the resulting yield figure
carried to at least the nearest hundredth of one percent. The effective yield of
the Money Market Fund for a seven-day period is computed by expressing the
unannualized return for that period on a compounded, annualized basis by adding
1, raising the sum to a power equal to 365 divided by 7, and subtracting 1 from
the result according to the following formula:
Effective Yield=[(Base Period Return + 1)365/7]-1.
The Money Market Fund's actual yields will fluctuate, and are not
necessarily indicative of future actual yields. Actual yields are dependent on
such variables as portfolio quality, average portfolio maturity, the type of
instruments in which investments are made, changes in interest rates on money
market instruments, fund expenses and other factors.
A Fund may also advertise in items of sales literature an "actual
distribution rate" which is computed in the same manner as yield except that
actual income dividends declared per share during the period in question are
substituted for net investment income per share.
Any distribution rate, yield or total rate of return figure should not
be considered as representative of the performance of a Fund in the future. In
addition, the Income Funds' performance figures are not directly comparable to
those of bank deposits and other similar investments, which maintain a fixed
principal value and pay a fixed yield on the principal amount. These Funds' net
asset values are not fixed. They vary based not only upon the type, quality and
maturities of the securities held in the Funds, but also on the changes in the
current value of such securities and on changes in the Funds' expenses. For
narrative discussions of the Fund's performance including graphs comparing Funds
to various securities indices, please request a copy of an Annual Report to
Shareholders from the Corporation.
65
<PAGE> 213
From time to time, a Fund's performance and performance of comparable
investments may be compared to that of the Consumer Price Index or various
unmanaged indices such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500, the
Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index, the Lehman Brothers Government
Bond Index, Lehman Brothers Mortgage Backed Index, Lehman Brothers Municipal
Bond Index, Morgan Stanley Goldmine Index, the Salomon Smith Barney Low Grade
Index, the Salomon Smith Barney Analytical Record of Yield and Yield Spreads,
the Salomon Smith Barney Corporate Bond Rate-of-Return Index, and the Salomon
Smith Barney World Money Market Index, Bond-20 Bond Index; and it may also be
compared to the performance of other appropriate fixed income or equity mutual
funds or mutual fund indices as reported by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper") or CDA
Investment Technologies, Inc. ("CDA"). Lipper and CDA are widely recognized
independent mutual fund reporting services. Lipper and CDA performance
calculations are based upon changes in net asset value with all dividends
reinvested and do not include the effect of any sales charges. Investors may
also look to mutual fund reporting services such as Computer Directions Advisor
Services, Inc., Moody's Bond Survey Index, Nelson's Investment Manager Data
Base, Morningstar, Inc. and mortgage trade and other publications to compare the
performance of each Fund with other mutual funds in that Fund's category. Also,
a Fund's performance may be compared to the historical returns of various
investments, performance indices of those investments or economic indicators,
included but not limited to stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, money market
deposit accounts, money market funds and US Treasury Bills. Certain of these
alternative investments may offer fixed rates of return and guaranteed principal
and may be insured. Betas utilized will be calculated by CDA Investment
Technologies, Inc.
The Corporation's performance may be compared in advertising to the
performance of other mutual funds in general or the performance of particular
types of mutual funds, especially those with similar objectives. Lipper, an
independent mutual fund performance rating service headquartered in Summit, New
Jersey, provides rankings which may be used from time to time.
From time to time, articles about the Corporation regarding its
performance or ranking may appear in national publications such as Kiplinger's
Personal Finance Magazine, Money Magazine, Financial World, Morningstar, Dalbar,
Value Line Mutual Fund Survey, Forbes, Fortune, Business Week, Wall Street
Journal, Donaghue Mutual Funds and Barron's. Some of these publications may
publish their own rankings or performance reviews of mutual funds, including the
Corporation. Reference to or reprints of such articles may be used in the
Corporation's promotional literature.
The Money Market Fund may compare its performance in advertising to the
yield on Certificates of Deposit ("CDs") or other investments issued by banks.
The Money Market Fund differs from bank investments in that bank products offer
fixed or variable rates; principal is fixed and may be insured. Money market
funds seek to maintain a stable net asset value and yield fluctuates. Further,
the Fund may offer greater liquidity or higher potential returns than CDs.
66
<PAGE> 214
The Corporation may advertise examples of the effects of periodic
investment plans, including the principal of dollar cost averaging. Dollar cost
averaging programs provide an opportunity to invest a fixed dollar amount in a
fund at periodic intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when the price is
high and more shares when the price is low. While such a strategy does not
assure a profit guard against loss in a declining market, the investor's cost
per share can be lower if fixed numbers of shares had been purchased at periodic
intervals. In evaluating such a plan, consideration should be given to the
shareholder's ability to continue purchasing shares through periods of low price
levels.
TAXES
In order to qualify for federal income tax treatment as a regulated
investment company under Subchapter M of the IRC for a taxable year, each Fund
must, among other things, (a) derive at least 90% of its gross income during
such taxable year from qualifying income (i.e., dividends, interest, payments
with respect to loans of stock and securities, gains from the sale or other
disposition of stock or securities or options thereon, and certain other related
income); (b) diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each fiscal quarter
of such taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the market value of its total assets
is represented by cash, cash items, U.S. Government Securities, securities of
other regulated investment companies, and other securities limited, in the case
of other securities for purposes of this calculation, in respect of any one
issuer, to an amount not greater than 5% of the value of its total assets or 10%
of the voting securities of the issuer, and (ii) not more than 25% of the value
of its assets is invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S.
Government Securities).
Each Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a
"regulated investment company" under the provisions of the IRC as amended. For
purposes of the IRC, each Fund is regarded as a separate regulated investment
company. If any Fund qualifies as a "regulated investment company" and complies
with distribution requirements applicable to regulated investment companies, the
Fund will be relieved of federal income tax on the income and capital gains
distributed to shareholders.
Dividends declared from a Fund's net investment income, including its
net realized short-term capital gains in excess of its net realized long-term
capital losses, are taxable to its shareholders as ordinary income, whether such
dividends are received in cash or additional shares. If, for any taxable year, a
Fund complies with certain requirements, some or all of the dividends paid out
of the Fund's income from dividends paid by domestic corporations received by
the Fund's corporate shareholders may qualify for the 70% dividends received
deduction available to corporations. Dividends paid by the Income Funds and the
International Growth Fund are not expected to be eligible for dividends received
deductions.
Distributions declared from a Fund's realized net capital gain
(realized net capital gains from the sale of assets held for more than 12 months
in excess of realized net short-term capital losses) and designated by the Fund
as a capital gain dividend in a written notice to the shareholders are taxable
to such shareholders as capital gain without regard to the length of time
67
<PAGE> 215
a shareholder has held stock of the Fund and regardless of whether paid in cash
or additional shares. Capital gain dividends received by individuals are taxed
at the minimum rate of 20%.
The Funds may be required to withhold for federal income taxes 31%
("Back-Up Withholding") of the distributions and the proceeds of redemptions
payable to shareholders who fail to comply with regulations requiring that they
provide a correct social security or taxpayer identification number or to make
required certifications, or who have been notified by the Internal Revenue
Service that they are subject to Back-up Withholding. Corporate shareholders and
certain other shareholders specified in the IRC are exempt from Back-Up
Withholding.
Upon a sale or exchange of its shares, a shareholder will realize a
taxable gain or loss depending on its basis in the shares. Such gain or loss
will be treated as capital gain or loss if the shares are capital assets in the
shareholder's hands. In the case of an individual, any such capital gain will be
treated as short-term capital gain if the shares were held for not more than 12
months and long-term gain taxable at the maximum rate of 20% if such shares were
held for more than 18 months. In the case of a corporation, any such capital
gain will be treated as long-term capital gain, taxable at the same rates as
ordinary income, if such shares were held for more than 12 months. Any such
capital loss will be long-term capital loss if the shares were held for more
than 12 months. A sale or exchange of shares held for six months or less,
however, will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of any
long-term capital gains distributions with respect to such shares.
Generally, any loss realized on a sale or exchange of shares of a Fund
will be disallowed if other Fund shares are acquired (whether through the
automatic reinvestment of dividends or otherwise) within a 61-day period
beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the date on which the shares
are disposed. In such a case, the basis of the shares acquired will be adjusted
to reflect the disallowed loss.
In certain circumstances (e.g., an exchange), a shareholder who has
held shares in a Fund for not more than 90 days may not be allowed to include
certain sales charges incurred in acquiring such shares for purposes of
calculating gain or loss realized upon the sale or exchange of shares of the
Fund.
No gain or loss will be recognized by Class B shareholders upon the
conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares.
Tax-Exempt Income Fund
Dividends derived from interest on Municipal Securities and designated
by the Tax-Exempt Income Fund as exempt interest dividends by written notice to
the shareholders, under existing law, are not subject to federal income tax.
Dividends derived from net capital gains realized by the Fund are taxable to
shareholders as a capital gain upon distribution. Any short-term capital gains
or any taxable interest income or accrued market discount (whether on taxable or
tax-exempt securities)
68
<PAGE> 216
realized by the Fund will be distributed as a taxable ordinary income dividend
distribution. These rules apply whether such distribution is made in cash or in
additional shares. The percentage of income that is tax-exempt is applied
uniformly to all income distributions made by the Fund during each year. As with
shares in all Funds, a sale, exchange or redemption of shares in the Tax-Exempt
Income Fund is a taxable event and may result in capital gain or loss. Any
capital loss realized from shares held for six months or less is disallowed to
the extent of tax-exempt dividend income received.
The Tax-Exempt Income Fund declares daily and pays dividends monthly on
the last business day of the month. When a shareholder redeems shares of the
Fund on other than a dividend payment date, a portion of the shareholder's
redemption proceeds will represent accrued tax-exempt income which will be
treated as part of the amount realized for purposes of capital gains
computations for federal and state or local income tax purposes and will not be
tax-exempt.
Income from certain "private activity" bonds issued after August 7,
1986, are items of tax preference for the alternative minimum tax at a maximum
rate of 28% for individuals and 20% for corporations. If the Fund invests in
private activity bonds, shareholders may be subject to the alternative minimum
tax on that part of such Fund distributions derived from interest income on
those bonds. The Tax-Exempt Income Fund does not intend to invest more than 20%
of its assets in private activity bonds. In addition, a portion of a
distribution derived from any tax-exempt interest incurred, whether or not from
private activity bonds, will be taken into account in determining the corporate
alternative minimum tax. In higher income brackets, up to 85% of an individual's
Social Security benefits may be subject to federal income tax. Along with other
factors, total tax-exempt income, including any tax-exempt dividend income from
the Fund, is taken into account in determining that portion of Social Security
benefits which is taxed.
All or a portion of the interest incurred by a shareholder to purchase
or carry an investment in the Tax-Exempt Income Fund will not be deductible.
The treatment for state and local tax purposes of distribution from the
Tax-Exempt Income Fund representing Municipal Securities interests will vary
according to the laws of state and local taxing authorities.
FOREIGN INCOME TAXES
Investment income received by a Fund from sources within foreign
countries may be subject to foreign income taxes withheld at the source. The
United States has entered into tax treaties with many foreign countries which
entitle the Corporation to a reduced rate of tax or exemption from tax on such
income. It is impossible to determine the effective rate of foreign tax in
advance since the amount of the Funds' assets to be invested within various
countries is not known. The Corporation intends to operate so as to obtain
treaty-reduced rates of tax where applicable.
69
<PAGE> 217
To the extent that the International Growth Fund is liable for foreign
income taxes withheld at the source, the Fund may elect to "pass through" to the
Fund's shareholders credits for foreign income taxes paid, but there can be no
assurance that the Fund will be able to do so.
EXCISE TAX
The federal tax laws impose a 4% nondeductible excise tax on each
regulated investment company with respect to the amount, if any, by which such
company does not meet certain specified distribution requirements. Each Fund
intends to comply with such distribution requirements and thus does not expect
to incur the 4% nondeductible excise tax.
GENERAL
The foregoing is a general and abbreviated summary of the applicable
provisions of the IRC and Treasury Regulations in effect, as currently
interpreted by the Courts and by the Internal Revenue Service in published
revenue rulings and in private letter rulings and is only applicable to U.S.
persons. These interpretations can be changed at any time. For the complete
provisions, reference should be made to the pertinent IRC sections and the
Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. The above discussion covers only
federal income tax considerations with respect to the Funds and their
shareholders. State and local tax laws vary greatly, especially with regard to
the treatment of exempt-interest dividends. Shareholders should consult their
own tax advisers for more information regarding the federal, state, and local
tax treatment of each account.
Statements indicating the tax status of distributions to each
shareholder will be mailed to each shareholder annually.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
It is the Corporation's intention to distribute substantially all of
the net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, of each Fund.
The per share dividends and distribution on each class of shares of a Fund will
be reduced as a result of any service fees applicable to that class. For
dividend purposes, net investment income of each Fund will consist of
substantially all dividends received, interest accrued, net short-term capital
gains realized by such Fund less the applicable expenses of such Fund.
Unless shareholders request otherwise, by notifying the Fund's Transfer
Agent, dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically
reinvested in shares of the respective Fund at net asset value; such
reinvestments automatically occur on the payment date of such dividends
and capital gains distributions. At the election of any shareholder, dividends
or capital gains distributions, or both, will be distributed in cash to such
shareholders. However, if it is determined that the U.S. Postal Service cannot
properly deliver Fund mailings to the shareholder, the respective Funds will
terminate the shareholder's election to receive dividends and other
70
<PAGE> 218
distributions in cash. Thereafter, the shareholder's subsequent dividends and
other distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the
respective Funds until the shareholder notifies the Transfer Agent or the
Corporation in writing of his or her correct address and requests in writing
that the election to receive dividends and other distributions in each be
reinstated.
Distributions of capital gains from each of the Funds, other than the
Money Market Fund, are made at least annually. Dividends from investment income
of the Equity Funds (except the Equity Income Fund) and Managed Fund are
declared and paid annually. Dividends on the Equity Income Fund are paid
semiannually. Dividends from investment income of the Income Funds are declared
daily and paid monthly. Dividends from investment income and any net realized
capital gains of the Money Market Fund are declared daily and reinvested monthly
in additional shares of the Money Market Fund at net asset value.
Although the legal rights of each Class of shares are substantially
identical, the different expenses borne by each Class will result in different
net asset values and dividends for each Class.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
CAPITAL STOCK
The authorized capital stock of the Corporation consists of Common
Stock, par value $0.10 per share. The shares of Common Stock are divided into 14
series with each series representing a separate Fund. The Board of Directors may
determine the number of authorized shares for each series and to create new
series of Common Stock. It is anticipated that new Classes will be authorized by
the Board from time to time as new Funds with separate investment objectives and
policies are established.
Each Class of shares is entitled to participate in dividends and
distributions declared by the respective Funds and in net assets of such Funds
upon liquidation or dissolution remaining after satisfaction of outstanding
liabilities, except that each Class will bear its own distribution and
shareholder servicing charges. The shares of each Fund, when issued, will be
fully paid and nonassessable, have no preference, preemptive, conversion
(except as described above), exchange or similar rights, and will be freely
transferable. Holders of shares of any Fund are entitled to redeem their shares
as set forth in the Prospectus. The rights of redemption and conversion rights
are described elsewhere herein and in the Prospectus.
VOTING RIGHTS
Shares of each Fund are entitled to one vote per share and fractional
votes for fractional shares. The Corporation's shareholders have the right to
vote on the election of Directors of the
71
<PAGE> 219
Corporation and on any and all other matters on which, by law or the provisions
of the Corporation's bylaws, they may be entitled to vote. Voting rights are not
cumulative, so that holders of more than 50% of the shares voting in the
election of Directors can, if they choose to do so, elect all of the Directors
of the Corporation, in which event the holders of the remaining shares are
unable to elect any person as a Director.
On matters relating to all Funds or Classes of shares and affecting all
Funds or Class of shares in the same manner, shareholders of all Funds or
Classes of shares are entitled to vote. On any matters affecting only one Fund,
only the shareholders of that Fund are entitled to vote. On matters relating to
all the Funds but affecting the Funds differently, separate votes by Fund are
required. Each Class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters related
to distribution and servicing expenditures, as applicable.
The Corporation and its Funds are not required by Maryland law to hold
annual meetings of shareholders under normal circumstances. The Board of
Directors or the shareholders may call special meetings of the shareholders for
action by shareholder vote, including the removal of any or all of the
Directors, as may be required by either the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws
of the Corporation, or the Investment Company Act of 1940. Shareholders possess
certain rights related to shareholder communications which, if exercised, could
facilitate the calling by shareholders of a special meeting.
REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The Corporation sends to all its shareholders annual and semiannual
reports.

APPENDIX A
RATINGS OF CORPORATE DEBT SECURITIES
MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC. (1)
Aaa Bonds rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry the
smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as
"gilt edge."
Aa Bonds rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as
high grade bonds.
A Bonds rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to
be considered as upper medium grade obligations.
Baa Bonds rated Baa are considered as medium grade obligations, i.e., they
are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and
principal security appear adequate for the present but certain
protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically
unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding
investment characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics
as well.
Ba Bonds rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements: their future
cannot be considered as well assured. Often the protection of interest
and principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not well
safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty
of position characterize bonds in this case.
B Bonds rated B generally lack characteristics of the desirable
investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments of or
maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time
may be small.
Caa Bonds rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues may be in default or
there may be present elements of danger with respect to principal or
interest.
Ca Bonds rated Ca represent obligations which are speculative in a high
degree. Such issues are often in default or have other marked
short-comings.
---------------------
(1) Moody's applies numerical modifiers, 1, 2 and 3 in generic rating
classification from Aa through B in its corporate bond rating
system. The modifier 1 indicates that the security ranks in the
higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2
indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates that
the issue ranks in the lower end of its generic rating category.
74
<PAGE> 222
STANDARD & POOR'S CORPORATION (2)
AAA Bonds rated AAA have the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's
to a debt obligation. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is
extremely strong.
AA Bonds rated AA have a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal and differ from the highest-rated issues only in a small
degree.
A Bonds rated A have a strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal, although they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse
effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than bonds
in higher-rated categories.
BBB Bonds rated BBB are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
principal and interest. Whereas they normally exhibit adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay
interest and repay principal for bonds in this category than for bonds
in higher-rated categories.
BB, Bonds rated BB, B, CCC, and CC are regarded, on balance, as
predominately B, speculative with respect to the issuer's capacity to
pay interest and repay principal in
CCC, accordance with the terms of the obligation. BB indicates the lowest
degree of
CC speculation and CC the highest degree of speculation. While such bonds
will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these are
outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse
conditions.
----------------------
(2) Plus (+) or Minus (-): The ratings from AA to BB may be modified by the
addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the
major rating categories.

APPENDIX B
DESCRIPTION OF MUNICIPAL SECURITIES
Municipal Securities are notes and bonds issued by or on behalf of
states, territories and possessions of the United States and the District of
Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities,
the interest on which is exempt from federal income taxes and, in certain
instances, applicable state or local income taxes. These securities are
traded primarily in the over-the-counter market.
Municipal Securities are issued to obtain funds for various public
purposes, including the construction of a wide range of public facilities
such as airports, bridges, highways, housing, hospitals, mass
transportation, schools, streets, water and sewer works and gas and electric
utilities. Municipal Securities may also be issued in connection with the
refunding of outstanding Municipal Securities obligations, obtaining funds
to lend to other public institutions and for general operating expenses.
Industrial Development Bonds ("IDBs") are issued by or on behalf of public
authorities to obtain funds to provide privately operated facilities for
business and manufacturing, housing, sports, pollution control, and for
airport, mass transit, port and parking facilities and are considered
tax-exempt bonds if the interest thereon is exempt from federal income
taxes.
The two principal classifications of tax-exempt bonds are "general
obligation" and "revenue." General obligation bonds are secured by the
issuer's pledge of its full faith and credit and taxing power for the
payment of principal and interest. Revenue bonds are payable only from the
revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in
some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific
revenue source. Although IDBs are issued by municipal authorities, they are
generally secured only by the revenues derived from payment of the
industrial user. The payment of principal and interest on IDBs is dependent
solely upon the ability of the user of the facilities financed by the bonds
to meet its financial obligations and the pledge, if any, of real and
personal property so financed as security for such payment.
Tax-exempt notes are of short maturity, generally less than three
years. They include such securities as Project Notes, Tax Anticipation
Notes, Revenue Anticipation Notes, Bond Anticipation Notes and Construction
Loan Notes. Tax-exempt commercial paper consists of short-term obligations
generally having a maturity of less than nine months.
New issues of Municipal Securities are normally offered on a
when-issued basis, which means that delivery and payment for these
securities normally takes place 15 to 45 days after the date of commitment
to purchase.
Yields of Municipal Securities depend upon a number of factors,
including economic, money and capital market conditions, the volume of
Municipal Securities available, conditions within the Municipal Securities
market, and the maturity, rating and size of individual offerings.
76
<PAGE> 224
Changes in market values of Municipal Securities may vary inversely in
relation to changes in interest rates. The magnitude of changes in market
values in response to changes in market rates of interest typically varies
in proportion to the quality and maturity of obligations. In general, among
Municipal Securities of comparable quality, the longer the maturity, the
higher the yield, and the greater potential for price fluctuations.
FLOATING RATE AND VARIABLE RATE SECURITIES
The Tax-Exempt Income Fund may invest in floating rate and variable
rate tax-exempt securities. These securities are normally IDBs or revenue
bonds that provide that the rate of interest is set as a specific percentage
of a designated base rate, such as rates of treasury bills or bonds or the
prime rate at a major commercial bank and provide that the holders of the
securities can demand payment of the obligation on short notice at par plus
accrued interest, which amount may be more or less than the amount initially
paid for the bonds. Floating rate securities have an interest rate which
changes whenever there is a change in the designated base interest rate,
while variable rate securities provide for a specific periodic adjustment in
the interest rate. Frequently such securities are secured by letters of
credit or other credit support arrangements provided by banks. The quality
of the underlying credit or of the bank, as the case may be, must be
equivalent to the long-term bond or commercial paper rating stated above.

Post-Effective Amendment No. 39 to the Registration Statement on Form
N-1A (File No. 2-28097) filed on April 26, 1995.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provision or otherwise,
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 of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment of Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person, 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> 227
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

Re: The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc.
Registration Statement No. 2-28097
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am counsel to The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc., (the "Fund"), and in so
acting, have reviewed Post-Effective Amendment No. 54 (the "Post Effective
Amendment") to the Fund's Registration Statement on Form N-1A, Registration
File No. 2-28097. Representatives of the Fund have advised that the Fund will
file the Post-Effective Amendment pursuant to paragraph (a) of Rule 485 ("Rule
485") promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. In connection therewith,
the Fund has requested that I provide this letter.
In my examination of the Post-Effective Amendment, I have assumed the
conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies.
Based upon the foregoing, I hereby advise you that:
(1) the Fund is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing
in good standings under the laws of the State of Maryland;
(2) the Common Stock to be offered has been duly authorized and, when
sold as contemplated in the Amendments, will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable; and
