               SUPPLEMENT DATED JULY 21, 1997 TO THE STATEMENT OF
                  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DATED APRIL 30, 1997.
 
     At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Fund held on April 14-15,
1997, the Board of Trustees approved, subject to obtaining shareholder approval,
amending the Fund's fundamental investment restrictions to permit the Fund to
invest in real estate investment trusts ("REIT's") that invest directly in real
estate. At a special shareholder meeting of the Fund held on May 28, 1997, the
Fund received the necessary shareholder approval to amend this investment
restriction. Prior to the amendment, the Fund's fundamental investment
restrictions permitted the Fund to invest only in REIT's that invest in
mortgages or other security interests in real estate. The Fund believes this
amendment provides it with greater flexibility in seeking to achieve its
investment objective because the Fund is permitted to invest in a greater number
and variety of REIT's. The Fund hereby restates fundamental investment
restriction number 3 on page B-10 regarding investment in REIT's as follows:
 
     3. Make any investment in real estate, commodities or commodities
        contracts, or in any security about which information is not available
        with respect to history, management, assets, earnings, and income of the
        issuer; however, the Fund is not prohibited from investing in securities
        issued by a real estate investment trust, and the Fund is not prohibited
        from entering into transactions in futures contracts or related options;
