top of a pile of soil and rocks. Above the photo on the left hand side of the

CONSIDERING THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF THE MARKET, WE SUGGEST PUTTING YOUR MONEY
IN THE GROUND.
[To the right of the headline and running down the right side of
the photo in smaller black type is the following text:]
     In today's unpredictable marketplace, the performance of REITs may provide
a strategic advantage. In fact, REITs can be a welcome addition to a
diversified portfolio.
     CGM Realty Fund invests in REITs and, for the five-year period ended
3/31/00, returned more than 78% to become one of the top performing real estate
funds for that time frame.* While no one can predict future performance, maybe
you should consider investing now.
     Managed by Ken Heebner, CGM Realty Fund offers the potential for high
current income and long-term capital appreciation along with the long-term
advantages of real estate. Call now for more information and a prospectus.
