INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS, VOLATILITY
AND PERFORMANCE

Below for each Fund is a description of its investment objective, the
principal investment strategies pursued by the Funds' investment adviser or
sub-adviser, and its principal risks. Also, there is a bar chart and a
table that give an indication of the Fund's volatility and performance.
Additional information on the Funds' investments and practices is included
beginning on page ___.

The bar chart and table for each Fund provide an indication of the
risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance
from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns
compare to a broad-based securities market index. Each index is a widely
recognized, unmanaged index of securities.

The bar charts shown below include the effects of fund expenses, but
not sales charges. If sales charges had been included, returns would have
been less than those shown. The tables shown below includes the effects of
fund expenses and maximum sales charges for each class, and assume that you
sold your shares at the end of the period.

In both the bar charts and the tables, the returns shown for the Fund
include performance from before the creation of share classes on October 31,
1997. If the returns for Class A shares had reflected their current
shareholder servicing fees and the returns for the Class B shares had
reflected their current distribution and shareholder servicing fee (as
described on page ____), the returns would have been less than those shown.
How a Fund has performed in the past is not necessarily an indication of how
it will perform in the future.

LUTHERAN BROTHERHOOD OPPORTUNITY GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE. The investment objective of the Lutheran
Brotherhood Opportunity Growth Fund ("LB Opportunity Growth Fund") is to
achieve long-term growth of capital.

PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES. The LB Opportunity Growth Fund seeks to achieve
its objective by investing primarily in common stocks of smaller growth
companies (with market capitalizations of less than $1.7 billion at the time
of purchase).

T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., ("T. Rowe Price"), the Fund's sub-
adviser, designed and uses a number of quantitative models to identify key
characteristics of small-cap growth stocks. The models generally measure the
major characteristics of stocks in the small company growth sector such as
valuations and projected earnings growth. These will often be companies
with shorter histories and less seasoned operations. The Fund will focus
primarily on companies that possess superior earnings prospects.

PRINCIPAL RISKS. The LB Opportunity Growth Fund's principal risks are
the risks generally of stock investing. They include the risk of sudden and
unpredictable drops in the value of the market as a whole and periods of
lackluster performance.

In addition, smaller, less seasoned companies often have greater price
volatility, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than larger, more
established companies. These companies tend to be more dependent on the
success of limited product lines and have less experienced management and
financial resources.

For these and other reasons, the LB Opportunity Growth Fund may
underperform other stock funds (such as large company stock funds) when
stocks of small companies are out of favor.

The success of the LB Opportunity Growth Fund's investment strategy
depends significantly on T. Rowe Price's skill in assessing the potential of
the securities in which the Fund invests. Shares of the LB Opportunity
Growth Fund will rise and fall in value and there is a risk that you could
lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund cannot be certain that it
will achieve its objective.

LUTHERAN BROTHERHOOD MID CAP GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE. The investment objective of the Lutheran
Brotherhood Mid Cap Growth Fund ("LB Mid Cap Growth Fund") is to achieve
long term growth of capital.

PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES. LB Mid Cap Growth Fund tries to increase the
long-term value of your investment by investing in common stocks of
companies with medium market capitalizations. Under normal market
conditions, the LB Mid Cap Growth Fund invests at least 65% of its assets in
Companies that fall within the range of companies included in the Standard &
Poor's MidCap 400 Index at the time of the Fund's investment. Companies
whose capitalization no longer meets this definition continue to be
considered medium market capitalization companies for purposes of this
policy. The S&P 400 Index is an unmanaged stock market index comprised of
common stocks of approximately 400 mid-capitalization companies in the U.S.
selected by Standard & Poor's Corporation. As of September 30, 1998, the
S&P MidCap 400 included companies with capitalizations between $185 million
and $24 billion. The Fund's adviser uses both fundamental and technical
investment research techniques to determine what stocks to buy and sell.
(Fundamental investment analysis includes an analysis of a company's
financial position including its financial statements, historical assets,
earnings, sales, products and management in order to forecast its future
stock price. Technical analysis uses studies of price and volume movements
of stocks to forecast price movements and does not concern itself with
financial statistics of a company.) Lutheran Brotherhood Research Corp.
("LB Research"), the Fund's investment adviser focuses on companies that
have a strong record of earnings growth or show good prospects for growth in
sales and earnings and also considers the trends in the market as a whole.

PRINCIPAL RISKS. The LB Mid Cap Growth Fund's principal risks are the
risks generally of stock investing. They include the risk of sudden and
unpredictable drops in value of the market as a whole and periods of
lackluster performance.

In addition, medium-sized companies often have greater price
volatility, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than larger, more-
established companies. These companies tend to have smaller revenues,
narrower product lines, less management depth and experience, smaller shares
of their product or service markets, fewer financial resources, and less
competitive strength than larger companies. For these and other reasons,
the LB Mid Cap Growth Fund may underperform other stock funds (such as large
company stock funds) when stocks of medium-sized companies are out of favor.

The success of the Fund's investment strategy depends significantly on
LB Research's skill in assessing the potential of the securities in which
the Fund invests. Shares of the LB Mid Cap Growth Fund will rise and fall
in value and there is a risk that you could lose money by investing in the
Fund. The Fund cannot be certain that it will achieve its objective.

No bar chart or performance table has been included for the LB Mid Cap
Growth Fund. The LB Mid Cap Growth Fund commenced operations on May 30,
1997.

LUTHERAN BROTHERHOOD WORLD GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT OJBECTIVES. The investment objective of the Lutheran
Brotherhood World Growth Fund ("LB World Growth Fund") is to seek total
return from long-term growth of capital.

PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES. The LB World Growth Fund seeks to achieve its
objective by investing primarily in common stocks of non-U.S. companies.
The Fund may invest in companies established anywhere in the world
(including the U.S.).

While stocks may be purchased without regard to a company's market
capitalization, the focus will typically be on large and, to a lesser
extent, medium-sized, companies. In determining the appropriate distribution
of investments among various countries and geographic regions Rowe Price-
Fleming International, Inc. ("Price-Fleming"), the Fund's sub-adviser, will
consider prospects for relative economic growth, expected levels of
inflation, government policies influencing business conditions, the outlook
for currency relationships, and the range of individual investment
opportunities available to international investors. Stocks are selected by
blending a bottom-up approach, based on fundamental research techniques,
with an awareness of a country's economic status and outlook. Price-Fleming
weighs a company's prospects for achieving and sustaining above-average,
long-term earnings growth and also valuation factors, such as
price/earnings and price/cash flows ratios. Valuation factors often
influence allocations among large-cap, medium-cap, or small-cap shares.

PRINCIPAL RISKS. LB World Growth Fund's principal risks are the risks
generally of stock investing. They include the risk of sudden and
unpredictable drops in value of the market as a whole and periods of
lackluster performance.

Stocks of non-U.S. companies present additional risks for U.S.
investors. Stocks of non-U.S. companies tend to be less liquid and more
volatile than their U.S. counterparts, in part because foreign markets are
generally smaller, more sensitive to trading activity and more likely to
experience delayed or less frequent settlement of transactions. In many
foreign countries, accounting standards are less standardized and economic
and political climates are less stable. Fluctuations in exchange rates also
may reduce or eliminate gains or create losses. These risks usually are
greater in emerging markets, such as most countries in Africa, Asia, Latin
America and the Middle East. For these and other reasons, LB World Growth
Fund may underperform other stock funds (such as U.S. stock funds) when
international stocks are out of favor.

The success of the Fund's investment strategy depends significantly on
Price Fleming's skill in assessing the potential of the securities in which
the Fund invests. Shares of the LB World Growth Fund will rise and fall in
value and there is a risk that you could lose money by investing in the
Fund. LB World Growth Fund cannot be certain that it will achieve its
objective.

LUTHERAN BROTHERHOOD FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE. The investment objective of the Lutheran
Brotherhood Fund ("LB Fund") is to seek growth of capital and income.

PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES. The principal strategy for achieving this
objective is to invest in the common stocks of leading U.S. domestic and
multi-national companies. LB Research, the Fund's adviser uses fundamental
and technical investment research techniques to identify stocks of companies
that have a leading position and successful business strategy within their
industry based on the company's asset size, market share, profitability,
potential sales and earnings growth, competitive position, and relative
stock value.

PRINCIPAL RISKS. LB Fund's principal risks are the risks generally of
stock investing. They include the risk of sudden and unpredictable drops in
value of the market as a whole and periods of lackluster performance.

In addition, the prices of larger company stocks may not rise as
quickly or as significantly as prices of stocks of well-managed smaller
companies. For these and other reasons, the LB Fund may underperform other
stock funds (such as small company or medium company stock funds) when
larger company stocks are out of favor.

The success of the Fund's investment strategy depends significantly on
LB Research's skill in assessing the potential of the securities in which
the Fund invests. Shares of LB Fund will rise and fall in value and there
is a risk that you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The LB Fund
cannot be certain that it will achieve its objective.

LUTHERAN BROTHERHOOD HIGH YIELD FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE. The investment objective of the Lutheran
Brotherhood High Yield Fund ("LB High Yield Fund") is to obtain high current
income, and secondarily growth of capital.

PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests
at least 65% of its total assets in high yield, high risk bonds, notes,
debentures and other debt obligations or preferred stocks. These securities
are commonly known as "junk bonds." At the time of purchase these
securities are rated within or below the BB or Ba major rating categories by
Standard & Poor's/Moody's or are unrated but considered to be of comparable
quality by LB Research, the Fund's investment adviser. LB Research uses
fundamental credit research to identify companies which have adequate cash
flows or access to capital markets for the payment of principal and interest
obligations. LB Research generally purchases bonds with a 10-year maturity
although it may purchase bonds with a shorter or longer maturity.

PRINCIPAL RISKS. The principal risks of LB High Yield Fund include the
tendency of high-yield bond prices to fall when the economy is sluggish or
overall corporate earnings are weak. During those times, it may become
difficult for issuers of high-yield bonds to generate sufficient cash flow
to pay principal or interest. For all bonds, there is a risk that an issuer
will default. High-yield bonds, however, are more susceptible to the risk
of default and their prices usually fall if a number of issuers, or a high
profile issuer, default or go bankrupt or if the market anticipates either
of those events.

The price of LB High Yield Fund shares also may be affected by weak
equity markets, when issuers of high-yield bonds generally find it difficult
to improve their financial condition by replacing debt with equity. In
addition, many high yield securities are traded only among institutional
investors, and it may be difficult for LB Research to sell the Fund's
portfolio investments at fair prices when high-yield bonds fall out of favor
with those investors.

Generally, when interest rates rise, bond prices fall, which may cause
the price of shares of the LB High Yield Fund to fall as well. Bonds with
longer durations and maturities tend to be more sensitive to changes in
interest rates than bonds with shorter durations or maturities. In general,
the prices at which lower quality bonds are traded before they mature may be
more affected by the financial health of the issuer and the economy
generally and less by changes in interest rates.

The success of the Fund's investment strategy depends significantly on
LB Research's skill in assessing the potential of the securities in which
the Fund invests.

Shares of the LB High Yield Fund will rise and fall and there is a risk
that you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The LB High Yield Fund
cannot be certain that it will achieve its objective.

LUTHERAN BROTHERHOOD INCOME FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE. The investment objective of the Lutheran
Brotherhood Income Fund ("LB Income Fund") is to seek high current income
while preserving principal. The Fund's secondary investment objective is to
obtain long-term growth of capital in order to maintain investors'
purchasing power.

PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES. The LB Income Fund invests primarily in
investment-grade corporate bonds, government bonds, and mortgage-backed
securities. Under normal conditions, at least 65% of the Fund's assets will
be invested in debt securities or preferred stock at least in the "Baa"
major rating category by Moody's or at least in the "BBB" major rating
category by S&P or unrated securities considered by LB Research to be of
comparable quality. The Fund may also invest in high-yield, high risk
bonds, notes, debentures and other debt obligations or preferred stock
commonly known as "junk bonds." LB Research uses fundamental investment
research techniques to determine what debt obligations to buy and sell. The
adviser focuses on companies which are financially sound and have strong
cash flow, asset values, and interest or dividend earnings.

PRINCIPAL RISKS. The LB Income Fund's principal risks are those of
debt investing, including increases in interest rates and loss of principal.
Generally, when interest rates rise, bond prices fall, which may cause the
price of shares of LB Income Fund to fall as well. Bond prices fall because
bonds issued after rates rise will offer higher yields, making older bonds
with lower rates less attractive. To raise the effective yield on older
bonds, holders of the older bonds must discount their prices. Bonds with
longer durations and maturities tend to be more sensitive to changes in
interest rates than bonds with shorter durations or maturities.

For all bonds there is a risk that an issuer will default. High-yield
bonds generally are more susceptible to risk of default than higher rated
bonds, and to the LB Income Fund, this risk increases as LB Research
increases the percentage of the Fund's portfolio in high-yield bonds.

The success of the Fund's investment strategy depends significantly on
LB Research's skill in assessing the potential of the securities in which
the Fund invests. Shares of the LB Income Fund will rise and fall in value
and there is a risk that you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The
LB Income Fund cannot be certain that it will achieve its goal.

LUTHERAN BROTHERHOOD MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE. The investment objective of the Lutheran
Brotherhood Municipal Bond Fund ("LB Municipal Bond Fund") is to provide its
shareholders with a high level of current income which is exempt from
federal income tax.

PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES. The Lutheran Brotherhood Municipal Bond Fund
tries to provide you with high current income which is exempt from federal
income taxation by investing in municipal bonds, which are debt obligations
issued by states, territories, and possessions of the United States and
their political subdivisions or agencies. Under normal market conditions,
the LB Municipal Bond Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in
municipal bonds. LB Research, the Fund's adviser uses fundamental
investment research techniques to determine what municipal bonds to buy and
sell. The Fund's adviser focuses on investment-grade municipal bonds whose
issuers are financially sound and have healthy balance sheets, strong
operating income, and good economic prospects.

PRINCIPAL RISKS. The LB Municipal Bond Fund's principal risks are
those of debt investing, including increases in interest rates and loss of
principal. Generally, when interest rates rise, bond prices fall, which may
cause the price of shares of LB Municipal Bond Fund to fall as well. Bond
prices fall because bonds issued after rates rise will offer higher yields,
making older bonds with lower rates less attractive. To raise the effective
yield on older bonds, holders of the older bonds must discount their prices.
Bonds with longer durations and maturities tend to be more sensitive to
changes in interest rates than bonds with shorter durations or maturities.
The Fund's performance may be affected by political and economic conditions
at the state, regional or federal level. These may include budgetary
problems, declines in the tax base and other factors that may cause rating
agencies to downgrade the credit ratings on certain issues. Actual or
proposed changes in tax rates, regulations or federal programs could also
affect your net return on investment.

The success of the LB Municipal Bond Fund's investment strategy depends
significantly on LB Research's skill in assessing the potential of the
securities in which the Fund invests. Shares of LB Municipal Bond Fund will
rise and fall in value and there is a risk that you could lose money by
investing in the Fund. The LB Municipal Bond Fund cannot be certain that it
will achieve its objective.

LUTHERAN BROTHERHOOD MONEY MARKET FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE. The investment objective of the Lutheran
Brotherhood Money Market Fund ("LB Money Market Fund") is current income
consistent with stability of principal.

PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES. The LB Money Market Fund tries to produce
current income while preserving the value of your shares by investing in
high quality, short term money market instruments that mature in 397 days or
less, including U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper, bank instruments
such as certificates of deposit, U.S. government discount notes, and U.S.
Treasury Bills. LB Research, the Fund's adviser, uses fundamental
investment research techniques to determine what money market instruments to
buy and sell. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in
prime commercial paper. The adviser looks for prime commercial paper issued
by corporations which are financially sound, have strong cash flows, and
solid capital levels, are leaders in their industry and have experienced
management.

LB Research manages LB Money Market Fund subject to strict rules
established by the Securities and Exchange Commission that are designed so
that LB Money Market Fund may maintain a stable $1.00 share price. Those
guidelines generally require LB Money Market Fund to, among other things,
invest only in high quality securities that generally are diversified with
respect to issuers, are denominated in U.S. dollars and have short remaining
maturities. In addition, the guidelines require LB Money Market Fund to
maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of not more than 90
days.

Under the guidelines, at least 95% of LB Money Market Fund's total
assets must be invested in "first tier" securities. First-tier securities
must be rated by at least two rating agencies in their highest short-term
major rating categories (or one, if only one rating agency has rated the
security, or if they have not received a short-term rating, determined by LB
Research to be of comparable quality). First-tier securities generally
include U.S. Government securities, such as U.S. Treasury bills and
securities issued or sponsored by U.S. government agencies. They also may
include corporate debt securities, finance company commercial paper and
certain obligations of U.S. and foreign banks.

The remainder of LB Money Market Fund's assets will be invested in
securities rated within the two highest rating categories by any two rating
agencies (or one, if only one rating agency has rated the security or, if
unrated, determined by LB Research to be of comparable quality), or kept in
cash.

PRINCIPAL RISKS. The LB Money Market Fund's principal risks are those
that could affect the yield of its shares. They include those factors that
could cause short-term interest rates to decline, such as a weak economy,
strong equity markets and changes by the Federal Reserve in its monetary
policies. The success of the Fund's investment strategy depends
significantly on LB Research's skill in assessing the potential of the
securities in which the Fund invests.

An investment in the LB Money Market Fund is not a bank deposit and is
not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value
of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by
investing in the Fund.

YOUR INVESTMENT

CHOOSING A CLASS OF SHARES

Each Fund offers three classes of shares, each with its own sales
charges and fees. You should choose the class of shares that you believe to
be the most advantageous for you, given the amount of your purchase, the
length of time you anticipate holding the shares and other factors.

The table below highlights the sales charges and fees for the two
classes of shares offered by this prospectus:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Class A Class B
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<S> <C> <C>
Sales Charges Initial sales charge at time of investment CDSC of 5% to 1%, depending on how
of up to 4% depending on amount of long you hold your shares before you
investment redeem them. There is no CDSC after
five years
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rule 12b-1 Distribution Fee(1) None 0.75% for first five years; Class B
shares convert automatically to Class A
shares after five years
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shareholder Servicing Fee 0.25% each year of average daily net assets 0.25% each year of average daily net
assets
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- --------------
(1) Distribution (12b-1) Fees
Class B shares (other than of the LB Money Market Fund) have an annual distribution fee. This is also
called a 12b-1 fee, based on the SEC rule that permits this type of fee. Under its 12b-1 plan, the Funds
other than LB Money Market Fund, pay Lutheran Brotherhood Securities Corp. ("LBSC") distribution fees for
the sale and distribution of Class B shares. Those fees are paid out of a Fund's assets attributable to
the Class B shares on an on-going basis, and as a result, these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

</TABLE>

CLASS A SHARES

Initial Sales Charges. The table below shows the sales charges you
will pay if you purchase Class A shares of the Funds (except the LB Money
Market Fund).

$500,000 or more 0% 0%

$25,000 and above but less than $50,000 3.75% 3.9%
Less than $25,000 4% 4.2%

Ways to Eliminate or Reduce the Initial Sales Charges:

o Cumulative Discount: All current holdings of Class A and Class B shares
of all Funds except the LB Money Market Fund will be aggregated to permit
you to enjoy any initial sales charge reduction allowed for larger sales
of Class A shares. The Funds will combine purchases, including the value
of existing investments, made by you, your spouse and your children under
age 21, of both Class A and Class B shares when it calculates your
initial sales charge. You must inform us that you qualify for this
discount.

o Automatic Reinvestments: Class A shares that you purchase by automatic
reinvestment of dividends for capital gains distribution will not be
subject to any initial sales charge.

o Thirteen-month Letter of Intent: If you intend to accumulate $25,000 or
more, including the value of existing investments, in Class A or Class B
shares of one or more of the Funds (except the LB Money Market Fund)
within the next 13 months, you may sign a letter of intent and receive a
reduced sales charge on purchases of any Class A shares.

o Reinvestment upon Redemption: If you redeem any or all of your Class A or
Class B shares of the LB Opportunity Growth Fund, LB Mid Cap Growth Fund,
LB World Growth Fund, LB Fund, LB High Yield Fund, LB Income Fund, or LB
Municipal Bond Fund shares or received cash dividends from one of these
Funds, you may reinvest the amount in Class A shares of any of these
seven Funds without paying a sales charge. You must make your
reinvestment within 90 days after redeeming your Class A shares or Class
B shares.

o Loan, surrender, or dividend withdrawal: If you request a loan,
surrender, or dividend withdrawal from a life insurance or annuity
contract issued by Lutheran Brotherhood or Lutheran Brotherhood Variable
Insurance Products Company and direct that the money should be used to
purchase Class A shares of a Fund, the sales charge will be waived.

o Purchases by Tax-exempt Organizations: Class A shares of any Fund are
available at one-half of the regular sales charge, if any, if purchased
by organizations qualifying for tax-exemption under Sections 501(c)(3)
and 501(c)(13) of the Internal Revenue Code.

CLASS B SHARES

If you buy Class B shares, you will not be charged an initial sales
charge. The entire purchase amount is immediately invested, but a CDSC of up
to 5.0% will apply to shares redeemed within five years of purchase.

When you sell shares in This % of net asset value
this year after you at the time of purchase
bought them (or of sale, if lower) is
deducted from your proceeds

In order to ensure that you pay the lowest CDSC possible, the Fund will
first redeem Class B shares that are not subject to the CDSC and then Class
B shares held for the longest period of time. There is no CDSC on
exchanges into other Funds and the date of your initial investment will
continue to be used as the basis for CDSC calculations when you exchange.
However, if you exchange Class B shares of any other Fund for Class B shares
of the LB Money Market Fund, the CDSC will stop declining during the period
your investment is in the LB Money Market Fund Class B shares. The amount of
any CDSC will be paid to LBSC, the broker-dealer for the Funds.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge Waivers

No CDSC will apply on:

o increases in the net asset value of Class B shares above the purchase
price

o Class B shares purchased through reinvestment of dividends and
distributions

o Class B shares purchased more than five years prior to redemption

Shares redeemed due to the death or disability (caused by injury or the
sudden onset of a life threatening illness) of a sole individual shareholder
(but not for shares held in joint accounts or "family," "living" or other
trusts) and for mandatory retirement distributions from an IRA or TSCA.

Conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares

Your Class B shares will automatically convert into Class A shares of
the same Fund after 5 years and consequently will no longer be subject to
the higher expenses borne by Class B shares. The Fund will not include the
period that you held Class B shares of the LB Money Market Fund in
calculating the five-year period.

Initial investments in Class B shares of $100,000 or more per purchase
will not be accepted. Because of the reduced sales charges available on such
purchases, Class A shares (or Institutional Class shares if the investor is
eligible) must be purchased instead. Class B shares of the LB Money Market
Fund are offered solely in exchange for Class B shares of other Funds of The
Lutheran Brotherhood Family of Funds.

are received before the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally 4:00
p.m. Eastern time) will be processed at the net asset value calculated that
day. Orders received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE will be
processed at the net asset value calculated on the following business day.
The Funds reserve the right to reject any purchase request.

IRAS AND OTHER TAX-DEFERRED PLANS

Shares of any Fund other than the LB Municipal Bond Fund may be
selected as investments for Individual Retirement Accounts, the qualified
Lutheran Brotherhood prototype plans for the self-employed, qualified
pension and profit-sharing plans and tax-sheltered custodial accounts
(403(b) plans). There are additional fees and procedural requirements for
such plans. See your LBSC registered representative for more details.

NET ASSET VALUE OF YOUR SHARES

Each Fund determines its net asset value (NAV) for a particular class
by adding the value of Fund assets attributable to such class, subtracting
the Fund's liabilities attributable to such class, and dividing the result
by the number of outstanding shares of that class. LB Money Market Fund
seeks to maintain a stable $1.00 NAV pursuant to procedures established by
the Board of Trustees for the Funds in connection with the amortized cost
method of portfolio valuation. The NAV for the other Funds varies with the
value of their investments. The other Funds value their securities using
market quotations, other than short-term debt securities maturing in less
than 60 days, which are valued using amortized costs, and securities for
which market quotations are not readily available, which are valued at fair
value.

The Funds determine their NAV on each day the NYSE is open for
business, or any other day as required under the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The calculation is made as of the close of regular
trading of the NYSE (currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) after the Fund has
declared any applicable dividends. Because foreign securities markets are
open on different days from U.S. markets, there may be instances when the
value of a Fund's portfolio that invests in foreign securities changes on
days when you are not able to buy or sell the Fund's shares.

EXCHANGING SHARES BETWEEN FUNDS

You may exchange some or all of your shares of one Fund for shares of
the same class of any of the other Funds. In addition, shareholders who are
eligible to purchase Institutional Class shares may exchange some or all of
their Class A or Class B shares for Institutional Class shares. All
exchanges will be based on NAV of the shares you are exchanging and the
shares you are acquiring and will be subject to the minimum investment
requirements. Except as described above, shares of one class may not be
exchanged for shares of another class.

If you exchange Class A shares of a Fund for which you have previously
paid an initial sales charge for Class A shares of another Fund, you will
not be charged an initial sales charge for the exchange. If you exchange
Class B shares of one Fund for Class B shares of another Fund, you will not
be charged a CDSC. You may obtain an exchange form or receive more
information about making exchanges between Funds by contacting your LBSC
representative. We may modify or terminate our policies on exchanges in the
future. If the exchange policies are materially modified or terminated, we
will give you at least 60 days prior notice.

TELEPHONE EXCHANGES

You may make the type of exchanges between Funds described above by
telephone unless otherwise indicated on the account application. You may
make an unlimited number of telephone exchanges. Telephone exchanges must be
for a minimum amount of $500. Telephone exchanges may be made into new or
existing Fund or LB Money Market Fund accounts, and all accounts involved in
telephone exchanges must have the same ownership registration. You may
request a telephone exchange by calling toll-free (800) 328-4552 (Automated
Investor Access Line) or 800-990-6290 (investor representative).

The Funds reserve the right to refuse a wire or telephone redemption or
exchange if it is reasonably believed to be unauthorized. Procedures for
redeeming or exchanging Fund shares by wire or telephone may be modified or
terminated at any time by the Funds. When requesting a redemption or
exchange by telephone, you must have available the correct account
registration and account number or tax identification number. All telephone
redemptions and exchanges are recorded and written confirmations are
subsequently mailed to the address of record. Neither the Funds nor LBSC
will be liable for following redemption or exchange instructions received by
telephone, which are reasonably believed to be genuine, and the shareholder
will bear the risk of loss in the event of unauthorized or fraudulent
telephone instructions. The Funds and LBSC will employ reasonable procedures
to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine. The
Funds and/or LBSC may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or
fraudulent instructions in the absence of following these procedures.

REDEEMING SHARES

One of the advantages of owning shares in The Lutheran Brotherhood
Family of Funds is the rapid access you have to your investment. Once we
receive your request for redemption, we will redeem your shares at the next
NAV on any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for business, or
any other day as required under the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

WAYS TO REDEEM

You may redeem your shares:

o in writing;

o through Redeem-by-Phone;

o on the Internet; or

o through the Fund's systematic withdrawal plan.

The LB Money Market Fund also allows you to redeem Class A shares by
writing a check, or by using your VISA debit card.

WRITTEN REQUESTS

To redeem all or some of your shares, send a written request to:

Lutheran Brotherhood Securities Corp.
P.O. Box 9491
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55440-9491

We may require your signature to be guaranteed if you are redeeming
your shares in an amount of $50,000 or more, if you are requesting the
payment to be made to another party or sent to another address, or if you
are a beneficiary of an account. Your signature may be guaranteed by:

o a trust company or commercial bank;

o a savings association;

o a credit union; or

o a securities broker, dealer, exchange, association, or clearing
agency.

We will not accept signatures that are notarized by a notary public.

Once your redemption request is received in good order, the Fund
normally will send the proceeds of such redemption with 1 business day.
However, if making payment could adversely affect a Fund, the Fund may defer
payment for up to seven days or a longer period if permitted. Please note
that a Fund will hold payment of redemption proceeds until your purchase
check clears, which may be 15 days.

REDEEM BY PHONE

If you have completed an Account Features Request, you may redeem any
amount of at least $1,000 by calling us at 800-328-4552 to use our Automated
Investor Access Line or 800-990-6290 to speak with an investor
representative. We will send you a check or send the funds electronically
to your commercial bank by the third business day after your redemption
request. This feature is NOT available on IRA or other Tax Deferred Plans.

INTERNET

You may redeem some or all of your shares by using our website:
http://www.luthbro.com.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL

If you own shares with a value of at least $5,000, you may order
automatic monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual redemptions in any
amount. The proceeds will be sent to you, your designated payee, or your
commercial bank, savings bank or credit union.

Income dividends and capital gains distributions will continue to be
reinvested in additional Fund shares. Shares will be redeemed as necessary
to make automatic payments to the shareholder.

WRITING A CHECK

Redeeming by check allows you to earn daily income dividends until your
check clears. This service is offered for Class A shares of LB Money Market
Fund only.

Establishing check writing privilege: Upon opening your Class A share
LB Money Market Account, State Street Bank will automatically establish an
LB Money Market Fund checking account for you.

Using your LB Money Market checking account: With a LB Money Market
Fund checking account, you may redeem your shares simply by writing a check
in any amount of $250 or more. However, you may not write a check for the
entire balance of your account. If you redeem shares by check before State
Street Bank has collected your payment for shares purchased by check, State
Street Bank will return your check marked "insufficient funds."

Your money market check may be cashed or deposited like any other
check. When it is received by State Street Bank for payment, the bank will
present the check to the Fund and redeem enough of your shares to cover the
amount. The shares will be redeemed at NAV next determined after State
Street Bank presents the check. Your canceled checks or a copy of your
checks and a statement will be sent to you each month.

When you open a LB Money Market Fund checking account, you will be
subject to State Street Bank's checking account rules and regulations. State
Street Bank and the LB Money Market Fund have the right to modify or
terminate checking account privileges or to charge for establishing or
maintaining a checking account. There are no current charges for
establishing or maintaining a checking account.

VISA DEBIT CARDS

At your request, and subject to approval State Street Bank will issue a
VISA debit card to you. This service is offered for Class A shares of LB
Money Market Fund only.

With a VISA debit card, you authorize the redemption of your shares by
using the card. The VISA debit card may be used to purchase merchandise or
services from merchants honoring VISA or to obtain cash advances (which a
bank may limit to $5,000 per account per day for merchandise and services,
$600 per account for cash advances) from any bank honoring VISA. You will
earn daily income dividends on Fund shares up to the date they are redeemed.
You will receive a monthly statement from State Street Bank listing VISA
transactions.

Rules and fees: When you receive a LB Money Market Fund VISA debit
card, you will be subject to State Street Bank's VISA account regulations.
State Street Bank charges an annual VISA fee of $25 to cover its fees and
administrative costs. State Street also charges a fee of $1.50 each time an
Automated Teller Machine (ATM) is used. In addition to that fee, the bank
that owns the ATM machine may also charge a fee for each transaction. Enough
shares will be redeemed automatically from your account to pay the fee. Lost
or stolen cards should be reported immediately to State Street Bank at
toll-free (800) 543-6325. State Street Bank and the LB Money Market Fund
have the right to modify or terminate the VISA debit card privilege or to
impose additional charges for establishing or maintaining a VISA account
upon 30 days prior written notice.

DIVIDENDS ON REDEMPTION

If you redeem all your shares, the redemption proceeds will include all
dividends to which you have become entitled since they were last paid.

ACCOUNTS WITH LOW BALANCES

Due to the high cost of maintaining accounts with low balances, the
Funds may redeem shares in any account if the value of shares in the account
falls below a certain minimum. The required minimum amount for Class A and
Class B share accounts is $500 for all Funds except LB Money Market Fund,
which has a minimum amount for Class A and Class B share accounts of $1,000.

Before shares are redeemed to close an account, you will be notified in
writing and allowed 60 days to purchase additional shares. Shares will not
be redeemed if the account's value drops below the minimum only because of
market fluctuations.

DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS

Dividends are declared and paid as follows:

- declared daily and paid monthly LB Money Market Fund

- declared monthly and paid monthly LB High Yield Fund
LB Income Fund
LB Municipal Bond Fund

- declared and paid quarterly LB Fund

- declared and paid annually LB Opportunity Growth Fund
LB Mid Cap Growth Fund
LB World Growth Fund

Income dividends are derived from investment income, including
dividends, interest, realized short-term capital gains, and certain foreign
currency gains received by a Fund.

Capital gains distributions, if any, will usually be declared in
December.

Distribution Options. When completing your application, you must select
one of the following three options for dividends and capital gains
distributions:

o Full Reinvestment. Both dividends and capital gains distributions
from a Fund will be reinvested in additional shares of the same
class of that Fund. This option will be selected automatically
unless one of the other options is specified.

o Full Reinvestment in a Different Fund. You may also choose to have
your dividends reinvested into an existing account in another Fund
within The Lutheran Brotherhood Family of Funds.

o All Cash. Dividends and capital gains distributions will be paid in
cash. Your request to receive all or a portion of your dividends
and other distributions in cash must be received by LBSC at least
ten days before the record date of the dividend or other
distribution.

Distributions paid in shares will be credited to your account at the
next determined NAV per share.

TAXES

In general, any dividends and short-term capital gains distributions
you receive from a Fund are taxable as ordinary income. Distributions of
other net capital gains by a Fund are generally taxable as capital gains -
in most cases, at different rates from those that apply to ordinary income.
We expect that dividends from the LB Opportunity Growth Fund, LB Mid Cap
Growth Fund, LB World Growth Fund, and LB Fund will consist primarily of
capital gains and that dividends from the LB High Yield Fund, LB Income
Fund, and LB Money Market Fund will consist primarily of ordinary income.

The tax you pay on a given capital gains distribution generally depends
on how long a Fund has held the portfolio securities it sold. It does not
depend on how long you have owned your Fund shares or whether you reinvest
your distributions or take them in cash.

LB MUNICIPAL BOND FUND. You will not be required to pay federal income
tax on dividends of LB Municipal Bond Fund that represent interest that the
Fund earns on tax-exempt securities. The Fund may, however, invest a
portion of its assets in securities that generate income that is not exempt
from federal income tax. In addition, income of the Fund that is exempt
from federal income tax may be subject to state and local income tax. Any
capital gains distributed by LB Municipal Bond Fund may be taxable.

LB WORLD GROWTH FUND. Foreign investments pose special tax issues for
the LB World Growth Fund and its shareholders. For example, certain gains
and losses from currency fluctuations may be taxable as ordinary income.
Also, certain foreign countries withhold some interest and dividends that
otherwise would be payable to the LB World Growth Fund. If the amount
withheld is material, shareholders may be able to claim a foreign tax
credit.

Every year, the Funds will send you information detailing the amount of
ordinary income and capital gains distributed to you for the previous year.
The sale of shares in your account may produce a gain or loss, and is a
taxable event. For tax purposes, an exchange between Funds is the same as a
sale. You will not be required to pay federal income tax on (i) the
automatic conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares or (ii) exchanges
of Class A or Class B shares for Institutional Class Shares.

Your investment in the Funds could have additional tax consequences.
Please consult your tax professional for assistance.

By law, the Funds must withhold 31% of your distributions and proceeds
if you have not provided complete, correct taxpayer information.

OTHER SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES

The principal investment strategies and risk factors of each Fund are
outlined beginning on page __. The Funds may also invest in other
securities and engage in other practices. Below are brief discussions of
these securities, other practices in which certain of the Funds may engage,
and their associated risks.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Each of the Funds may buy securities with the
understanding that the seller will buy them back with interest at a later
date. If the seller is unable to honor its commitment to repurchase the
securities, the Fund could lose money.

WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES. Each Fund may invest in securities prior to
their date of issue. These securities could fall in value by the time they
are actually issued, which may be any time from a few days to over a year.

MORTGAGE-BACKED AND ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES. LB Income Fund and LB
Money Market Fund may invest in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities.
Mortgage-backed securities are securities that are backed by pools of
mortgages and which pay income based on the payments of principal and income
they receive from the underlying mortgages. Asset-backed securities are
similar but are backed by other assets, such as pools of consumer loans.
Both are sensitive to interest rate changes as well as to changes in the
redemption patterns of the underlying securities. If the principal payment
on the underlying asset is repaid faster or slower than the holder of the
mortgage-backed or asset-backed security anticipates, the price of the
security may fall, especially if the holder must reinvest the repaid
principal at lower rates or must continue to hold the securities when
interest rates rise.

ZERO COUPONS. Each of the Funds may invest in zero coupon securities.
A zero coupon security is a debt security that is purchased and traded at
discount to its face value because it pays no interest for some or all of
its life. Interest, however, is reported as income to the Fund that has
purchased the security and the Fund is required to distribute to
shareholders an amount equal to the amount reported. Those distributions
may require the Fund to liquidate portfolio securities at a disadvantageous
time.

FOREIGN SECURITIES. The LB Opportunity Growth Fund and LB World Growth
Fund may invest in foreign securities. Foreign securities are generally
more volatile than their domestic counterparts, in part because of higher
political and economic risks, lack of reliable information and fluctuations
in currency exchange rates. These risks are usually higher in less
developed countries. Each of these Funds may use foreign currencies and
related instruments to hedge its foreign investments.

In addition, foreign securities may be more difficult to resell and the
markets for them less efficient than for comparable U.S. securities. Even
where a foreign security increases in price in its local currency, the
appreciation may be diluted by the negative effect of exchange rates when
the security's value is converted to U.S. dollars. Foreign withholding
taxes also may apply and errors and delays may occur in the settlement
process for foreign securities.

RESTRICTED AND ILLIQUID SECURITIES. Each of the Funds may invest in
restricted or illiquid securities. Any securities that are thinly traded or
whose resale is restricted can be difficult to sell at a desired time and
price. Some of these securities are new and complex, and trade only among
institutions. The markets for these securities are still developing, and
may not function as efficiently as established markets. Owning a large
percentage of restricted or illiquid securities could hamper a Fund's
ability to raise cash to meet redemptions. Also, because there may not be
an established market price for these securities, the Fund may have to
estimate their value, which means that their valuation (and, to a much
smaller extent, the valuation of the Fund) may have a subjective element.

SECURIITES LENDING. Each of the Funds may seek additional income by
lending portfolio securities to qualified instructions. By reinvesting any
cash collateral it receives in these transactions, a Fund could realize
additional gains or losses. If the borrower fails to return the securities
and the invested collateral has declined in value, the Fund could lose
money.

DERIVATIVES. Each of the Funds may invest in derivatives.
Derivatives, a category that includes options and futures, are financial
instruments whose value derives from another security, an index or a
currency. Each Fund may use derivatives for hedging (attempting to offset a
potential loss in one position by establishing an interest in an opposite
position). This includes the use of currency-based derivatives for hedging
its positions in foreign securities. Each Fund may also use derivatives for
speculation (investing for potential income or capital gain).

While hedging can guard against potential risks, it adds to the fund's
expenses and can eliminate some opportunities for gains. There is also a
risk that a derivative intended as a hedge may not perform as expected.

The main risk with derivatives is that some types can amplify a gain or
loss, potentially earning or losing substantially more money than the actual
cost of the derivative.

With some derivatives, whether used for hedging or speculation, there
is also the risk that the counterpart may fail to honor its contract terms,
causing a loss for the Fund.

HIGH-YIELD BONDS. Each of LB High Yield Fund, LB Income Fund and LB
MidCap Growth Fund may invest in high-yield bonds. High-yield bonds are
debt securities rated below BBB- by S&P or Baa3 by Moody's. To the extent
that a Fund invests in high-yield bonds, it takes on certain risks:

o The risk of a bond's issuer defaulting on principal or interest
payments is greater than on higher quality bonds
o Issuers of high-yield bonds are less secure financially and are more
likely to be hurt by interest rate increases and declines in the
health of the issuer or the economy.

SHORT-TERM TRADING. The investment strategy for the LB Mid Cap Growth
Fund, LB High Yield Fund, and LB Income Fund at times may include short-term
trading. While each other Fund ordinarily does not trade securities for
short-term profits, it will sell any security at any time it believes best,
which may result in short-term trading. Short-term trading can increase a
Fund's transaction costs and may increase your tax liability.

INTERNATIONAL EXPOSURE. Many U.S. companies in which the LB
Opportunity Growth Fund, LB Mid Cap Growth Fund, LB World Growth Fund, LB
Fund, LB High Yield Fund, and LB Income Fund may invest generate significant
revenues and earnings from abroad. As a result, these companies and the
prices of their securities may be affected by weaknesses in global and
regional economies and the relative value of foreign currencies to the U.S.
dollar. These factors, taken as a whole, could adversely affect the price
of Fund shares.

BONDS. The value of any bonds held by a Fund is likely to decline when
interest rates rise; this risk is greater for bonds with longer maturities.
A less significant risk is that a bond issuer could default on principal or
interest payments, possibly causing a loss for the Fund.

COMPUTER RISKS. LB Research does not currently anticipate that
computer problems related to the year 2000 or to the conversion of various
European currencies into a single currency, the Euro, will have a material
effect on any Fund. However, there can be no assurances in this area,
including the possibility that year 2000 computer problems could negatively
affect communications systems, the investment markets or the economy in
general or that Euro conversion-related computer problems could negatively
affect the European investment markets or the global economy.

SECURITIES RATINGS. When fixed-income securities are rated by one or
more independent rating agencies, a Fund uses these ratings to determine
bond quality. Investment grade bonds are those that are rated higher than
BBB by Standard & Poor's Corporation or higher than Baa3 by Moody's
Investors Service, Inc., or unrated but considered of equivalent quality by
the Fund's adviser. High-yield bonds are below investment grade bonds in
terms of quality.

In cases where a bond is rated in conflicting categories by different
rating agencies, a Fund (other LB Money Market Fund) may choose to follow
the higher rating. If a bond is unrated, the Fund may assign it to a given
category based on its own credit research. If a rating agency downgrades a
security, the Fund will determine whether to hold or sell the security,
depending on all of the facts and circumstances at that time.

DEFENSIVE INVESTING During unusual market conditions, each Fund (other
than LB Money Market Fund) may place up to 100% of its total assets in cash
or quality short-term debt securities. To the extent that the Fund does
this, it is not pursuing its investment objective.

OPTIMUM ACCOUNT(R)

LBSC offers the Optimum Account to all LB Money Market Fund Class A
shareholders. Optimum Account features include:

o VISA Debit Card Privilege. You can use the VISA card to purchase
merchandise or obtain cash advances. Purchase transactions are
escrowed, or held against your current Money Market Account
balance. At month end the total escrowed purchases are redeemed
from your money market account. Although the escrowed shares are
not available for use, they do continue to earn interest or
dividends. All cash advances are redeemed from your account
immediately.

o Checkwriting Privileges. You can write as many checks as you want
with no minimum and at no charge per check. Checks or copies of
checks will be returned to you for recordkeeping. State Street
Bank will redeem enough shares from your LB Money Market Fund
account to cover the checks you write on the date the check
reaches the Bank.

o Tax-free Money Market Fund. You have access to Tax-Free
Instruments Trust, a money market fund with dividends exempt from
federal income tax.

o Discount Brokerage. You can use Optimum Account Discount
Brokerage Services for direct purchases of general securities.

o Automatic Settlement. Purchase and sell transactions for general
securities placed through Optimum Account Discount Brokerage
Services will clear automatically through your LB Money Market
Fund account.

o Monthly Consolidated Statement. In lieu of an immediate
confirmation of LB Money Market Fund financial transactions, you
will receive your monthly Optimum Account statement. The monthly
statement will report all activity in your accounts held in The
Lutheran Brotherhood Family of Funds, Tax-Free Instruments Trust,
Optimum Account Discount Brokerage Account, and VISA Debit cards.

o Newsletter. Money management tips and information about Optimum
Account will be sent to you on a regular basis through the
quarterly newsletter offered to Optimum Account holders.

In the future, LBSC may offer additional features to shareholders in
Optimum Account.

There is a one-time new account fee of $25 for the Optimum Account
package. This fee is waived for LB Money Market Fund Class A shareholders
who already have the LB Money Market Fund VISA debit card when they add the
features of Optimum Account. A monthly administrative fee of $5.00 is
charged. These fees will be automatically redeemed from your LB Money Market
Fund account each month.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The financial highlights tables for each of the Funds are intended to
help you understand the Funds' financial performance for the past 5 years
or, if shorter, the period of the Funds' operations. The total returns in
the tables represent the rate that an investor would have earned or lost on
an investment in a Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions). This information has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP, independent accountants, whose report, along with the Funds' financial
statements, are included in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal
year ended October 31, 1998, which is available upon request.

Shares of the Funds had no class designations until October 31, 1997,
when designations were assigned based on the sales charges, Rule 12b-1 fees
and shareholder servicing fees applicable to shares sold after that date.
The tables below cover periods prior to the adoption of class designations
and therefore do not reflect the Rule 12b-1 fees of 0.75% per year
applicable to the Class B shares and the shareholder servicing fees of 0.25%
per year applicable to the Class A and Class B shares, which will adversely
affect performance results for periods after October 31, 1997. The tables
also do not show the effect of a sales charge.

YOUR INVESTMENT

INSTITUTIONAL CLASS SHARES

The Lutheran Brotherhood Family of Funds has adopted a system of
multiple classes of shares for each of the Funds. There is no sales load
imposed in connection with the purchase of Institutional Class shares and
such shares are not subject to any Rule 12b-1 fee or shareholder servicing
fee. Institutional Class shares are offered to Lutheran institutions,
Lutheran church organizations, retirement plans sponsored by Lutheran
institutions and Lutheran participants in the Allocation Advantage(sm)
mutual fund asset allocation program offered by Lutheran Brotherhood
Securities Corp. ("LBSC") Because the sales charges and expenses vary
between the Class A shares, Class B shares and Institutional Class shares,
performance will vary with respect to each class. A copy of the Class A and
Class B prospectus may be obtained by writing us or by calling toll free
(800)990-6290.

BUYING SHARES

INITIAL PURCHASES

To make your first purchase of the Institutional Class shares of the
Funds:

MINIMUM INVESTMENTS REQUIRED

The minimum investment for retirement plans sponsored by Lutheran
institutions is $100,000, which can be allocated among any number of the
Funds. The minimum investment for other Lutheran institutions is $100,000 in
any one Fund.

The Allocation Advantage(sm) program is a fee-based investment advisory
service which LBSC offers to persons who make an initial investment of
$100,000. Lutheran participants in the Allocation Advantage(sm) program may
purchase Institutional Class shares of any Fund by making an initial minimum
investment of $5,000 for a non-IRA account and $1,000 for an IRA account.

The minimum investment required for additional purchases is $100 for
Allocation Advantage(sm) clients and $1,000 for retirement plans sponsored
by Lutheran institutions or other Lutheran institutional investors.

REDEEMING SHARES

WAYS TO REDEEM

You may redeem your shares:

o in writing;

o through Redeem-by-Phone;

o on the Internet; or

o through the Fund's systematic withdrawal plan.

WRITTEN REQUESTS

To redeem all or some of your shares, send a written request to:

Lutheran Brotherhood Securities Corp.
P.O. Box 9491
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55440-9491

The signature of an authorized representative of your institution must
be guaranteed by:

o a trust company or commercial bank;

o a savings association;

o a credit union; or

o a securities broker, dealer, exchange, association, or clearing
agency.

We will not accept signatures that are notarized by a notary public.

Once your redemption request is received in good order, the Fund
normally will send the proceeds of such redemption within 1 business day.
However, if making payment could adversely affect a Fund, the Fund may defer
payment for up to seven days or a longer period if permitted. Please note
that a Fund will hold payment of redemption proceeds until your purchase
check clears, which may be 15 days.

REDEEM BY PHONE

INTERNET

You may redeem some or all of your shares by using our website:
http://www.luthbro.com.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL

If you own shares with a value of at least $150,000, you may order
automatic monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual redemptions in any
amount. The proceeds will be sent to you, your designated payee, or your
commercial bank, savings bank or credit union.

Income dividends and capital gains distributions will continue to be
reinvested in additional Fund shares. Shares will be redeemed as necessary
to make automatic payments to the shareholder.

DIVIDENDS ON REDEMPTION

If you redeem all your shares, the redemption proceeds will include all
dividends to which you have become entitled since they were last paid.

ACCOUNTS WITH LOW BALANCES

Due to the high cost of maintaining accounts with low balances, the
Funds may redeem shares in any account if the value of Institutional Class
shares in the account falls below the required minimum amount for your type
of account.

DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS

Dividends are declared and paid as follows:

- declared daily and paid monthly LB Money Market Fund

- declared monthly and paid monthly LB High Yield Fund
LB Income Fund
LB Municipal Bond Fund

- declared and paid quarterly LB Fund

- declared and paid annually LB Opportunity Growth Fund
LB Mid Cap Growth Fund
LB World Growth Fund

Income dividends are derived from investment income, including
dividends, interest, realized short-term capital gains, and certain foreign
currency gains received by a Fund.

Capital gains distributions, if any, will usually be declared in
December.

Distribution Options. When completing your application, you must select
one of the following three options for dividends and capital gains
distributions:

o Full Reinvestment. Both dividends and capital gains distributions
from a Fund will be reinvested in additional shares of the same
class
of that Fund. This option will be selected automatically unless one
of the other options is specified.

o Full Reinvestment in a Different Fund. You may also choose to have
your dividends reinvested into an existing account in another Fund
within The Lutheran Brotherhood Family of Funds.

o All Cash. Dividends and capital gains distributions will be paid in
cash. Your request to receive all or a portion of your dividends
and
other distributions in cash must be received by LBSC at least ten
days before the record date of the dividend or other distribution.

Distributions paid in shares will be credited to your account at the
next determined NAV per share.

TAXES

In general, any dividends and short-term capital gains distributions
you receive from a Fund are taxable as ordinary income. Distributions of
other net capital gains by a Fund are generally taxable as capital gains -
in most cases, at different rates from those that apply to ordinary income.
We expect that dividends from the LB Fund will consist primarily
of capital gains and that dividends from the LB Fund will consist
primarily of ordinary income.

Your investment in the Funds could have additional tax consequences.
Please consult your tax professional for assistance.

By law, the Funds must withhold 31% of your distributions and proceeds
if you have not provided complete, correct taxpayer information.

OTHER SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES

The main risk with derivatives is that some types can amplify a gain or
loss, potentially earning or losing substantially more money than the actual
cost of the derivative.

With some derivatives, whether used for hedging or speculation, there
is also the risk that the counterpart may fail to honor its contract terms,
causing a loss for the Fund.

HIGH-YIELD BONDS. Each of LB High Yield Fund, LB Income Fund and LB
MidCap Growth Fund may invest in high-yield bonds. High-yield bonds are
debt securities rated below BBB by S&P or Baa by Moody's. To the extent
that a Fund invests in high-yield bonds, it takes on certain risks:

o The risk of a bond's issuer defaulting on principal or interest
payments is greater than on higher quality bonds.
o Issuers of high-yield bonds are less secure financially and are more
likely to be hurt by interest rate increases and declines in the
health of the issuer or the economy.

DEFENSIVE INVESTING. During unusual market conditions, each Fund
(other than LB Money Market Fund) may place up to 100% of its total assets
in cash or quality short-term debt securities. To the extent that the Fund
does this, it is not pursuing its investment objective.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The financial highlights tables for each of the Funds are intended to
help you understand the Funds' financial performance for the past 5 years
or, if shorter, the period of the Funds' operations. The tables show periods
shorter than one year on an annualized basis. The total returns in the table
represent the rate that an investor would have earned or lost on an
investment in a Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions). This information has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP, independent accounts, whose report, along with the Funds' financial
statements, are included in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal
year ended October 31, 1998, which is available upon request. Shares of the
Funds had no class designations until October 31, 1997, when designations
were assigned based on the sales charges, Rule 12b-1 fees and shareholder
servicing fees applicable to shares sold after that date. The tables also do
not show the effect of a sales charge.

HISTORY OF THE LUTHERAN BROTHERHOOD FAMILY OF FUNDS

Each Fund in The Lutheran Brotherhood Family of Funds is a diversified
series of The Lutheran Brotherhood Family of Funds (the "Trust"), an open-
end management investment company. All the Funds, except the LB World
Growth Fund and LB Mid Cap Growth Fund, were organized in 1993 as series of
The Lutheran Brotherhood Family of Funds, a Delaware business trust. Each of
those Funds is the successor to a fund of the same name that previously
operated as a separate corporation or trust pursuant to a reorganization
that was effective as of November 1, 1993. The LB World Growth Fund and LB
Mid Cap Growth Fund began operating as a series of the LB Family of Funds on
September 5, 1995 and May 30, 1997, respectively. The fiscal year end of the
Trust and each Fund is October 31. Prior to October 31, 1997, the shares of
the Funds had no specific class designations. As of that date, Class A,
Class B and Institutional Class shares were authorized by the Board of
Trustees of the Trust. The Trust has reserved the right to create other
classes of shares in the future.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS

ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT PRACTICES

Various of the Funds may purchase the following securities or may
engage in the following transactions.

OTHER SECURITIES

The LB Opportunity Growth Fund, the LB Mid Cap Growth Fund, the LB
World Growth Fund, and the LB Fund may each invest in other types of
securities, including bonds, preferred stocks, convertible bonds,
convertible preferred stocks, warrants, American Depository Receipts
(ADR's), and other debt or equity securities. In addition, the Fund may
invest in U.S. Government securities or cash. The Fund will not use any
minimum level of credit quality. At no time will the Fund invest more than
5% of its net assets in debt obligations. In calculating this per cent
limitation for LB Opportunity Growth and LB World Growth Fund, cash and U.S.
Government securities are excluded. Debt obligations may be rated less than
investment grade, which is defined as having a quality rating below "Baa",
as rated by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or below "BBB", as
rated by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P"). For a description of Moody's
and S&P's ratings, see "Description of Debt Ratings". Securities rated below
investment grade (sometimes referred to as "high yield" or "junk bonds") are
considered to be speculative and involve certain risks, including a higher
risk of default and greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic
changes.

The LB High Yield Fund and the LB Income Fund may also invest in common
stocks, warrants to purchase stocks, bonds or preferred stocks convertible
into common stock, and other equity securities. No more than 20% of the LB
High Yield Fund's assets will be invested in equity securities. No more than
10% of the LB Income Fund's assets will be invested in common stocks and no
more than 25% of its assets will be invested in high yield securities,
common stocks, and bonds and preferred stocks that are convertible into
common stock.

The LB Municipal Bond Fund does not generally intend to purchase any
securities which would cause more than 25% of the value of its total assets
to be invested in the securities of governmental subdivisions located in any
one state, territory or possession of the United States. The Fund may invest
more than 25% of the value of its total assets in industrial development
bonds. The Fund also may invest up to 25% of its total assets in securities
issued in connection with the financing of projects with similar
characteristics, such as toll road revenue bonds, housing revenue bonds or
electric power project revenue bonds, or in industrial development revenue
bonds which are based, directly or indirectly, on the credit of private
entities in any one industry.

BANK INSTRUMENTS

The LB Money Market Fund may invest in bank instruments including, but
not limited to, certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and time
deposits. Certificates of deposit are generally short-term (i.e., less than
one year), interest-bearing negotiable certificates issued by commercial
banks or savings and loan associations against funds deposited in the
issuing institution. A banker's acceptance is a time draft drawn on a
commercial bank by a borrower, usually in connection with an international
commercial transaction (to finance the import, export, transfer or storage
of goods). A banker's acceptance may be obtained from a domestic or foreign
bank including a U.S. branch or agency of a foreign bank. The borrower is
liable for payment as well as the bank, which unconditionally guarantees to
pay the draft at its face amount on the maturity date. Most acceptances
have maturities of six months or less and are traded in secondary markets
prior to maturity. Time deposits are non-negotiable deposits for a fixed
period of time at a stated interest rate. The LB Money Market Fund will not
invest in any such bank money investment unless (i) the investment is issued
by a U.S. bank that is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC"), a foreign branch thereof if the U.S. bank is unconditionally
liable in the event the foreign branch failed to pay on the investment, a
U.S. branch of a foreign bank if the U.S. branch is subject to the same
regulation as a U.S. bank, or a U.S. savings bank or savings and loan
association that is a member of the FDIC and (ii) at the date of investment
such bank or savings and loan association has capital, surplus and undivided
profits (as of the date of its most recently published financial statements)
in excess of $100 million or the principal amount of the instrument in which
the LB Money Market Fund is investing is insured by the FDIC.

U.S. branches of foreign banks are offices of foreign banks and are not
separately incorporated entities. They are chartered and regulated either
federally or under state law. U.S. federal branches of foreign banks are
chartered and regulated by the Comptroller of the Currency, while state
branches and agencies are chartered and regulated by authorities of the
respective state or the District of Columbia. U.S. branches of foreign
banks may accept deposits and thus are eligible for FDIC insurance; however,
not all such branches elect FDIC insurance. U.S. branches of foreign banks
can maintain credit balances, which are funds received by the office
incidental to or arising out of the exercise of their banking powers and can
exercise other commercial functions, such as lending activities.

Investing in foreign branches of U.S. banks and U.S. branches of
foreign banks may involve risks. These risks may include future unfavorable
political and economic developments, possible withholding or confiscatory
taxes, seizure of foreign deposits, currency controls, interest limitations
and other governmental restrictions that might affect payment of principal
or interest, and possible difficulties pursuing or enforcing claims against
banks located outside the U.S. Additionally, foreign issuers are not
generally subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting
standards or other regulatory requirements and practices comparable to U.S.
issuers, and there may be less public information available about foreign
banks and their branches and agencies.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Each of the Funds may engage in repurchase agreement transactions in
pursuit of its investment objective. A repurchase agreement consists of a
purchase and a simultaneous agreement to resell for later delivery at an
agreed upon price and rate of interest U.S. Government obligations. The Fund
or its custodian will take possession of the obligations subject to a
repurchase agreement. If the original seller of a security subject to a
repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security at the agreed upon
time, the Fund could incur a loss due to a drop in the market value of the
security during the time it takes the Fund to either sell the security or
take action to enforce the original seller's agreement to repurchase the
security. Also, if a defaulting original seller filed for bankruptcy or
became insolvent, disposition of such security might be delayed by pending
court action. The Fund may only enter into repurchase agreements with banks
and other recognized financial institutions such as broker/dealers which are
found by LB Research (or a sub-advisor) to be creditworthy.

RESTRICTED SECURITIES

The Funds may buy or sell securities that meet the requirements of Rule
144A under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Rule 144A Securities"). Securities
may be resold pursuant to Rule 144A under certain circumstances only to
qualified institutional buyers as defined in the rule, and the markets and
trading practices for such securities are relatively new and still
developing; depending on the development of such markets, such Rule 144A
Securities may be deemed to be liquid as determined by or in accordance with
methods adopted by the Trustees. Under such methods the following factors
are considered, among others: the frequency of trades and quotes for the
security, the number of dealers and potential purchasers in the market,
market making activity, and the nature of the security and marketplace
trades. Investments in Rule 144A Securities could have the effect of
increasing the level of a Fund's illiquidity to the extent that qualified
institutional buyers become, for a time, uninterested in purchasing such
securities. Also, a Fund may be adversely impacted by the subjective
valuation of such securities in the absence of an active market for them.
Restricted securities that are not resalable under Rule 144A may be subject
to risks of illiquidity and subjective valuations to a greater degree than
Rule 144A securities.

REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Each of the Funds except the LB Money Market Fund also may enter into
reverse repurchase agreements, which are similar to borrowing cash. A
reverse repurchase agreement is a transaction in which the Fund transfers
possession of a portfolio instrument to another person, such as a financial
institution, broker or dealer, in return for a percentage of the
instrument's market value in cash, with an agreement that at a stipulated
date in the future the Fund will repurchase the portfolio instrument by
remitting the original consideration plus interest at an agreed upon rate.
The use of reverse repurchase agreements may enable the Fund to avoid
selling portfolio instruments at a time when a sale may be deemed to be
disadvantageous, but the ability to enter into reverse repurchase agreements
does not assure that the Fund will be able to avoid selling portfolio
instruments at a disadvantageous time. The Fund will engage in reverse
repurchase agreements which are not in excess of 60 days to maturity and
will do so to avoid borrowing cash and not for the purpose of investment
leverage or to speculate on interest rate changes. When effecting reverse
repurchase agreements, assets of the Fund in a dollar amount sufficient to
make payment of the obligations to be purchased are segregated on the Fund's
records at the trade date and maintained until the transaction is settled.

WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS

Each of the Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued and delayed
delivery basis. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions arise when
U.S. Government obligations and other types of securities are bought by the
Fund with payment and delivery taking place in the future. The settlement
dates of these transactions, which may be a month or more after entering
into the transaction, are determined by mutual agreement of the parties.
There are no fees or other expenses associated with these types of
transactions other than normal transaction costs. To the extent a Fund
engages in when-issued and delayed delivery transactions, it will do so for
the purpose of acquiring portfolio instruments consistent with its
investment objective and policies and not for the purpose of investment
leverage or to speculate on interest rate changes. On the settlement date,
the value of such instruments may be less than the cost thereof. When
effecting when-issued and delayed delivery transactions, cash, cash
equivalents or high grade debt obligations of a dollar amount sufficient to
make payment for the obligations to be purchased will be segregated at the
trade date and maintained until the transaction has been settled.

LENDING SECURITIES

Consistent with applicable regulatory requirements, each of the Funds
may from time to time lend the securities it holds to broker-dealers,
provided that such loans are made pursuant to written agreements and are
continuously secured by collateral in the form of cash, U.S. Government
securities, irrevocable standby letters of credit or other liquid securities
in an amount at all times equal to at least the market value of the loaned
securities plus the accrued interest and dividends. For the period during
which the securities are on loan, the lending Fund will be entitled to
receive the interest and dividends, or amounts equivalent thereto, on the
loaned securities and a fee from the borrower or interest on the investment
of the cash collateral. The right to terminate the loan will be given to
either party subject to appropriate notice. Upon termination of the loan,
the borrower will return to the Fund securities identical to the loaned
securities.

The primary risk in lending securities is that the borrower may become
insolvent on a day on which the loaned security is rapidly increasing in
value. In such event, if the borrower fails to return the loaned security,
the existing collateral might be insufficient to purchase back the full
amount of the security loaned, and the borrower would be unable to furnish
additional collateral. The borrower would be liable for any shortage, but
the lending Fund would be an unsecured creditor with respect to such
shortage and might not be able to recover all or any thereof. However, this
risk may be minimized by a careful selection of borrowers and securities to
be lent and by monitoring collateral.

No Fund will lend securities to broker-dealers affiliated with LB
Research or a sub-advisor. LB Research believes that this will not affect
the Fund's ability to maximize its securities lending opportunities. No Fund
may lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than one-
third of its total assets would be lent to other parties.

PUT AND CALL OPTIONS (ALL FUNDS EXCEPT THE LB MONEY MARKET FUND)

Selling ("Writing" Covered Call Options: Certain of the Funds may from
time to time sell ("write") covered call options on any portion of its
portfolio as a hedge to provide partial protection against adverse movements
in prices of securities in those Funds and, subject to the limitations
described below, for the non- hedging purpose of attempting to create
additional income. A call option gives the buyer of the option, upon payment
of a premium, the right to call upon the writer to deliver a specified
amount of a security on or before a fixed date at a predetermined ("strike")
price. As the writer of a call option, a Fund assumes the obligation to
deliver the underlying security to the holder of the option on demand at the
strike price.

If the price of a security hedged by a call option falls below or
remains below the strike price of the option, a Fund will generally not be
called upon to deliver the security. A Fund will, however, retain the
premium received for the option as additional income, offsetting all or part
of any decline in the value of the security. If the price of a hedged
security rises above or remains above the strike price of the option, the
Fund will generally be called upon to deliver the security. In this event, a
Fund limits its potential gain by limiting the value it can receive from the
security to the strike price of the option plus the option premium.

Buying Call Options: Certain of the Funds may also from time to time
purchase call options on securities in which those Funds may invest. As the
holder of a call option, a Fund has the right to purchase the underlying
security or currency at the exercise price at any time during the option
period (American style) or at the expiration of the option (European style).
A Fund generally will purchase such options as a hedge to provide protection
against adverse movements in the prices of securities which the Fund intends
to purchase. In purchasing a call option, a Fund would realize a gain if,
during the option period, the price of the underlying security increased by
more than the amount of the premium paid. A Fund would realize a loss equal
to all or a portion of the premium paid if the price of the underlying
security decreased, remained the same, or did not increase by more than the
premium paid.

Buying Put Options: Certain of the Funds may from time to time purchase
put options on any portion of its portfolio. A put option gives the buyer of
the option, upon payment of a premium, the right to deliver a specified
amount of a security to the writer of the option on or before a fixed date
at a predetermined ("strike") price. A Fund generally will purchase such
options as a hedge to provide protection against adverse movements in the
prices of securities in the Fund. In purchasing a put option, a Fund would
realize a gain if, during the option period, the price of the security
declined by an amount in excess of the premium paid. A Fund would realize a
loss equal to all or a portion of the premium paid if the price of the
security increased, remained the same, or did not decrease by more than the
premium paid.

Options on Foreign Currencies: The LB World Growth Fund may also write
covered call options and purchase put and call options on foreign currencies
as a hedge against changes in prevailing levels of currency exchange rates.

Selling Put Options: The Funds may not sell put options, except in the
case of a closing purchase transaction (see Closing Transactions).

Index Options: As part of its options transactions, certain of the
Funds may also purchase and sell call options and purchase put options on
stock and bond indices. Options on securities indices are similar to options
on a security except that, upon the exercise of an option on a securities
index, settlement is made in cash rather than in specific securities.

Closing Transactions: Certain of the Funds may dispose of options which
they have written by entering into "closing purchase transactions". Those
Funds may dispose of options which they have purchased by entering into
"closing sale transactions". A closing transaction terminates the rights of
a holder, or the obligation of a writer, of an option and does not result in
the ownership of an option.

A Fund realizes a profit from a closing purchase transaction if the
premium paid to close the option is less than the premium received by the
Fund from writing the option. The Fund realizes a loss if the premium paid
is more than the premium received. The Fund may not enter into a closing
purchase transaction with respect to an option it has written after it has
been notified of the exercise of such option.

A Fund realizes a profit from a closing sale transaction if the
premium received to close out the option is more than the premium paid for
the option. A Fund realizes a loss if the premium received is less than the
premium paid.

Spreads and Straddles: Certain of the Funds may also engage in
"straddle" and "spread" transactions in order to enhance return, which is a
speculative, non-hedging purpose. A straddle is established by buying both a
call and a put option on the same underlying security, each with the same
exercise price and expiration date. A spread is a combination of two or more
call options or put options on the same security with differing exercise
prices or times to maturity. The particular strategies employed by a Fund
will depend on LB Research's or the Sub-advisor's perception of anticipated
market movements.

Negotiated Transactions: Certain of the Funds will generally purchase
and sell options traded on a national securities or options exchange. Where
options are not readily available on such exchanges, a Fund may purchase and
sell options in negotiated transactions. A Fund effects negotiated
transactions only with investment dealers and other financial institutions
deemed creditworthy by its investment adviser. Despite the investment
adviser's or sub-advisor's best efforts to enter into negotiated options
transactions with only creditworthy parties, there is always a risk that the
opposite party to the transaction may default in its obligation to either
purchase or sell the underlying security at the agreed upon time and price,
resulting in a possible loss by the Fund. This risk is described more
completely in the section of this Prospectus entitled, "Risks of
Transactions in Options and Futures". Options written or purchased by a Fund
in negotiated transactions are illiquid and there is no assurance that a
Fund will be able to effect a closing purchase or closing sale transaction
at a time when its investment adviser or sub-advisor believes it would be
advantageous to do so. In the event the Fund is unable to effect a closing
transaction with the holder of a call option written by the Fund, the Fund
may not sell the security underlying the option until the call written by
the Fund expires or is exercised.

Limitations: A Fund will not purchase any option if, immediately
thereafter, the aggregate cost of all outstanding options purchased and held
by the Fund would exceed 5% of the market value of the Fund's total assets.
A Fund will not write any option if, immediately thereafter, the aggregate
value of the Fund's securities subject to outstanding options would exceed
30% of the market value of the Fund's total assets.

FINANCIAL FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES (ALL FUNDS EXCEPT THE LB MONEY
MARKET FUND)

Selling Futures Contracts: Certain of the Funds may sell financial
futures contracts ("futures contracts") as a hedge against adverse movements
in the prices of securities in those Funds. Such contracts may involve
futures on items such as U.S. Government Treasury bonds, notes and bills,
government mortgage-backed securities; corporate and municipal bond indices;
and stock indices. A futures contract sale creates an obligation for the
Fund, as seller, to deliver the specific type of instrument called for in
the contract at a specified future time for a specified price. In selling a
futures contract, the Fund would realize a gain on the contract if, during
the contract period, the price of the securities underlying the futures
contract decreased. Such a gain would be expected to approximately offset
the decrease in value of the same or similar securities in the Fund. The
Fund would realize a loss if the price of the securities underlying the
contract increased. Such a loss would be expected to approximately offset
the increase in value of the same or similar securities in the Fund.

Futures contracts have been designed by and are traded on boards of
trade which have been designated "contract markets" by the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission ("CFTC"). These boards of trade, through their clearing
corporations, guarantee performance of the contracts. Although the terms of
some financial futures contracts specify actual delivery or receipt of
securities, in most instances these contracts are closed out before the
settlement due date without the making or taking of delivery of the
securities. Other financial futures contracts, such as futures contracts on
a securities index, by their terms call for cash settlements. The closing
out of a futures contract is effected by entering into an offsetting
purchase or sale transaction.

When a Fund sells a futures contract, or a call option on a futures
contract, it is required to make payments to the commodities broker which
are called "margin" by commodities exchanges and brokers.

The payment of "margin" in these transactions is different than
purchasing securities "on margin". In purchasing securities "on margin" an
investor pays part of the purchase price in cash and receives an extension
of credit from the broker, in the form of a loan secured by the securities,
for the unpaid balance. There are two categories of "margin" involved in
these transactions: initial margin and variation margin. Initial margin does
not represent a loan between a Fund and its broker, but rather is a "good
faith deposit" by a Fund to secure its obligations under a futures contract
or an option. Each day during the term of certain futures transactions, a
Fund will receive or pay "variation margin" equal to the daily change in the
value of the position held by the Fund.

Buying Futures Contracts: Certain of the Funds may purchase financial
futures contracts as a hedge against adverse movements in the prices of
securities which they intend to purchase. The Opportunity Growth and World
Growth Funds may buy and sell futures contracts for a number of reasons,
including to manage their exposure to changes in securities prices and
foreign currencies as an efficient means of adjusting their overall exposure
to certain markets in an effort to enhance income; and to protect the value
of portfolio securities. A futures contract purchase creates an obligation
by a Fund, as buyer, to take delivery of the specific type of instrument
called for in the contract at a specified future time for a specified price.
In purchasing a futures contract, a Fund would realize a gain if, during the
contract period, the price of the securities underlying the futures contract
increased. Such a gain would approximately offset the increase in cost of
the same or similar securities which a Fund intends to purchase. A Fund
would realize a loss if the price of the securities underlying the contract
decreased. Such a loss would approximately offset the decrease in cost of
the same or similar securities which a Fund intends to purchase.

Options on Futures Contracts: Certain of the Funds may also sell
("write") covered call options on futures contracts and purchase put and
call options on futures contracts in connection with the above strategies. A
Fund may not sell put options on futures contracts. An option on a futures
contract gives the buyer of the option, in return for the premium paid for
the option, the right to assume a position in the underlying futures
contract (a long position if the option is a call and a short position if
the option is a put). The writing of a call option on a futures contract
constitutes a partial hedge against declining prices of securities
underlying the futures contract to the extent of the premium received for
the option. The purchase of a put option on a futures contract constitutes a
hedge against price declines below the exercise price of the option and net
of the premium paid for the option. The purchase of a call option
constitutes a hedge, net of the premium, against an increase in cost of
securities which a Fund intends to purchase.

Currency Futures Contracts and Options: The LB World Growth Fund may
also sell and purchase currency futures contracts (or options thereon) as a
hedge against changes in prevailing levels of currency exchange rates. Such
contracts may be traded on U.S. or foreign exchanges. The Fund will not use
such contracts or options for leveraging purposes.

Limitations: Certain of the Funds may engage in futures transactions,
and transactions involving options on futures, only on regulated commodity
exchanges or boards of trade. A Fund will not enter into a futures contract
or purchase or sell related options if immediately thereafter (a) the sum of
the amount of initial margin deposits on the Fund's existing futures and
related options positions and premiums paid for options with respect to
futures and options used for non-hedging purposes would exceed 5% of the
market value of the Fund's total assets or (b) the sum of the then aggregate
value of open futures contracts sales, the aggregate purchase prices under
open futures contract purchases, and the aggregate value of futures
contracts subject to outstanding options would exceed 30% of the market
value of the Fund's total assets. In addition, in instances involving the
purchase of futures contracts or call options thereon, a Fund will maintain
cash or cash equivalents, less any related margin deposits, in an amount
equal to the market value of such contracts. "Cash and cash equivalents" may
include cash, government securities, or liquid high quality debt
obligations.

HYBRID INVESTMENTS (ALL FUNDS EXCEPT THE LB MONEY MARKET FUND)

As part of its investment program and to maintain greater flexibility,
the Fund may invest in hybrid instruments (a potentially high risk
derivative) which have the characteristics of futures, options and
securities. Such instruments may take a variety of forms, such as debt
instruments with interest or principal payments determined by reference to
the value of a currency, security index or commodity at a future point in
time. The risks of such investments would reflect both the risks of
investing in futures, options, currencies and securities, including
volatility and illiquidity. Under certain conditions, the redemption value
of a hybrid instrument could be zero. In addition, because the purchase and
sale of Hybrid Instruments could take place in an over-the-counter market or
in a private transaction between the Fund and the seller of the Hybrid
Instrument, the creditworthiness of the contra party to the transaction
would be a risk factor which the Fund would have to consider. Hybrid
Instruments also may not be subject to regulation of the Commodities Futures
Trading Commission ("CFTC"), which generally regulates the trading of
commodity futures by U.S. persons, the SEC, which regulates the offer and
sale of securities by and to U.S. persons, or any other governmental
regulatory authority. The Fund does not expect to hold more than 5% of its
total assets in hybrid instruments.

RISKS OF TRANSACTIONS IN OPTIONS AND FUTURES

There are certain risks involved in the use of futures contracts,
options on securities and securities index options, and options on futures
contracts, as hedging devices. There is a risk that the movement in the
prices of the index or instrument underlying an option or futures contract
may not correlate perfectly with the movement in the prices of the assets
being hedged. The lack of correlation could render a Fund's hedging strategy
unsuccessful and could result in losses. The loss from investing in futures
transactions is potentially unlimited.

There is a risk that LB Research or a sub-advisor could be incorrect in
their expectations about the direction or extent of market factors such as
interest rate movements. In such a case a Fund would have been better off
without the hedge. In addition, while the principal purpose of hedging is to
limit the effects of adverse market movements, the attendant expense may
cause a Fund's return to be less than if hedging had not taken place. The
overall effectiveness of hedging therefore depends on the expense of hedging
and LB Research's or a Fund's sub-advisor's accuracy in predicting the
future changes in interest rate levels and securities price movements.

A Fund will generally purchase and sell options traded on a national
securities or options exchange. Where options are not readily available on
such exchanges a Fund may purchase and sell options in negotiated
transactions. When a Fund uses negotiated options transactions it will seek
to enter into such transactions involving only those options and futures
contracts for which there appears to be an active secondary market. There is
nonetheless no assurance that a liquid secondary market such as an exchange
or board of trade will exist for any particular option or futures contract
at any particular time. If a futures market were to become unavailable, in
the event of an adverse movement, a Fund would be required to continue to
make daily cash payments of maintenance margin if it could not close a
futures position. If an options market were to become unavailable and a
closing transaction could not be entered into, an option holder would be
able to realize profits or limit losses only by exercising an option, and an
option writer would remain obligated until exercise or expiration. In
addition, exchanges may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options
and futures contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves
upward or downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading
days when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is
imposed, it may be impossible for a Fund to enter into new positions or
close out existing positions. If the secondary market for a contract is not
liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could prevent
prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially could require a
Fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or expiration regardless
of changes in its value. As a result, a Fund's access to other assets held
to cover its options or futures positions could also be impaired.

When conducting negotiated options transactions there is a risk that
the opposite party to the transaction may default in its obligation to
either purchase or sell the underlying security at the agreed upon time and
price. In the event of such a default, a Fund could lose all or part of
benefit it would otherwise have realized from the transaction, including the
ability to sell securities it holds at a price above the current market
price or to purchase a security from another party at a price below the
current market price.

Finally, if a broker or clearing member of an options or futures
clearing corporation were to become insolvent, a Fund could experience
delays and might not be able to trade or exercise options or futures
purchased through that broker or clearing member. In addition, a Fund could
have some or all of its positions closed out without its consent. If
substantial and widespread, these insolvencies could ultimately impair the
ability of the clearing corporations themselves.

SHORT SALES AGAINST THE BOX

The Funds may effect short sales, but only if such transactions are
short sale transactions known as short sales "against the box". A short sale
is a transaction in which a Fund sells a security it does not own by
borrowing it from a broker, and consequently becomes obligated to replace
that security. A short sale against the box is a short sale where a Fund
owns the security sold short or has an immediate and unconditional right to
acquire that security without additional cash consideration upon conversion,
exercise or exchange of options with respect to securities held in its
portfolio. The effect of selling a security short against the box is to
insulate that security against any future gain or loss.

FOREIGN FUTURES AND OPTIONS

Participation in foreign futures and foreign options transactions
involves the execution and clearing of trades on or subject to the rules of
a foreign board of trade. Neither the National Futures Association nor any
domestic exchange regulates activities of any foreign boards of trade,
including the execution, delivery and clearing of transactions, or has the
power to compel enforcement of the rules of a foreign board of trade or any
applicable foreign law. This is true even if the exchange is formally linked
to a domestic market so that a position taken on the market may be
liquidated by a transaction on another market. Moreover, such laws or
regulations will vary depending on the foreign country in which the foreign
futures or foreign options transaction occurs. For these reasons, customers
who trade foreign futures or foreign options contracts may not be afforded
certain of the protective measures provided by the Commodity Exchange Act,
the CFTC's regulations and the rules of the National Futures Association and
any domestic exchange, including the right to use reparations proceedings
before the Commission and arbitration proceedings provided by the National
Futures Association or any domestic futures exchange. In particular, funds
received from customers for foreign futures or foreign options transactions
may not be provided the same protections as funds received in respect of
transactions on United States futures exchanges. In addition, the price of
any foreign futures or foreign options contract and, therefore, the
potential profit and loss thereon may be affected by any variance in the
foreign exchange rate between the time an order is placed and the time it is
liquidated, offset or exercised.

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE-RELATED SECURITIES

Foreign Currency Warrants. Foreign currency warrants are warrants which
entitle the holder to receive from their issuer an amount of cash
(generally, for warrants issued in the United States, in U.S. dollars) which
is calculated pursuant to a predetermined formula and based on the exchange
rate between a specified foreign currency and the U.S. dollar as of the
exercise date of the warrant. Foreign currency warrants generally are
exercisable upon their issuance and expire as of a specified date and time.
Foreign currency warrants have been issued in connection with U.S. dollar-
denominated debt offerings by major corporate issuers in an attempt to
reduce the foreign currency exchange risk which, from the point of view of
prospective purchasers of the securities, is inherent in the international
fixed-income marketplace. Foreign currency warrants may attempt to reduce
the foreign exchange risk assumed by purchasers of a security by, for
example, providing for a supplemental payment in the event that the U.S.
dollar depreciates against the value of a major foreign currency such as the
Japanese Yen or German Deutschmark. The formula used to determine the amount
payable upon exercise of a foreign currency warrant may make the warrant
worthless unless the applicable foreign currency exchange rate moves in a
particular direction (e.g., unless the U.S. dollar appreciates or
depreciates against the particular foreign currency to which the warrant is
linked or indexed). Foreign currency warrants are severable from the debt
obligations with which they may be offered, and may be listed on exchanges.
Foreign currency warrants may be exercisable only in certain minimum
amounts, and an investor wishing to exercise warrants who possesses less
than the minimum number required for exercise may be required either to sell
the warrants or to purchase additional warrants, thereby incurring
additional transaction costs. In the case of any exercise of warrants, there
may be a time delay between the time a holder of warrants gives instructions
to exercise and the time the exchange rate relating to exercise is
determined, during which time the exchange rate could change significantly,
thereby affecting both the market and cash settlement values of the warrants
being exercised. The expiration date of the warrants may be accelerated if
the warrants should be delisted from an exchange or if their trading should
be suspended permanently, which would result in the loss of any remaining
"time value" of the warrants (i.e., the difference between the current
market value and the exercise value of the warrants), and, in the case the
warrants were "out-of-the-money," in a total loss of the purchase price of
the warrants. Warrants are generally unsecured obligations of their issuers
and are not standardized foreign currency options issued by the Options
Clearing Corporation ("OCC"). Unlike foreign currency options issued by OCC,
the terms of foreign exchange warrants generally will not be amended in the
event of governmental or regulatory actions affecting exchange rates or in
the event of the imposition of other regulatory controls affecting the
international currency markets. The initial public offering price of foreign
currency warrants is generally considerably in excess of the price that a
commercial user of foreign currencies might pay in the interbank market for
a comparable option involving significantly larger amounts of foreign
currencies. Foreign currency warrants are subject to significant foreign
exchange risk, including risks arising from complex political or economic
factors.

Principal Exchange Rate Linked Securities. Principal exchange rate
linked securities are debt obligations the principal on which is payable at
maturity in an amount that may vary based on the exchange rate between the
U.S. dollar and a particular foreign currency at or about that time. The
return on "standard" principal exchange rate linked securities is enhanced
if the foreign currency to which the security is linked appreciates against
the U.S. dollar, and is adversely affected by increases in the foreign
exchange value of the U.S. dollar; "reverse" principal exchange rate linked
securities are like the "standard" securities, except that their return is
enhanced by increases in the value of the U.S. dollar and adversely impacted
by increases in the value of foreign currency. Interest payments on the
securities are generally made in U.S. dollars at rates that reflect the
degree of foreign currency risk assumed or given up by the purchaser of the
notes (i.e., at relatively higher interest rates if the purchaser has
assumed some of the foreign exchange risk, or relatively lower interest
rates if the issuer has assumed some of the foreign exchange risk, based on
the expectations of the current market). Principal exchange rate linked
securities may in limited cases be subject to acceleration of maturity
(generally, not without the consent of the holders of the securities), which
may have an adverse impact on the value of the principal payment to be made
at maturity.

Performance Indexed Paper. Performance indexed paper is U.S. dollar-
denominated commercial paper the yield of which is linked to certain foreign
exchange rate movements. The yield to the investor on performance indexed
paper is established at maturity as a function of spot exchange rates
between the U.S. dollar and a designated currency as of or about that time
(generally, the index maturity two days prior to maturity). The yield to the
investor will be within a range stipulated at the time of purchase of the
obligation, generally with a guaranteed minimum rate of return that is
below, and a potential maximum rate of return that is above, market yields
on U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper, with both the minimum and
maximum rates of return on the investment corresponding to the minimum and
maximum values of the spot exchange rate two business days prior to
maturity.

TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE INVESTMENTS

The LB Opportunity Growth Fund, LB World Growth Fund, LB Fund, LB Mid
Cap Growth Fund, LB High Yield Fund, LB Income Fund, and LB Municipal Bond
Fund, may hold up to 100% of their assets in cash or short-term debt
securities for temporary defensive position when, in the opinion of LB
Research or a Fund's sub-advisor such a position is more likely to provide
protection against unfavorable market conditions than adherence to the
Funds' other investment policies. The types of short-term instruments in
which the Funds may invest for such purposes include short-term money market
securities such as repurchase agreements and securities issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities, certificates of
deposit, Eurodollar certificates of deposit, commercial paper and banker's
acceptances issued by domestic and foreign corporations and banks. When
investing in short-term money market obligations for temporary defensive
purposes, a Fund will invest only in securities rated at the time of
purchase Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody's, A-1 or A-2 by S&P, F-1 or F-2 by
Fitch Investors Service, Inc., or unrated instruments that are determined by
LB Research or the Sub-advisor to be of a comparable level of quality. When
a Fund adopts a temporary defensive position its investment objective may
not be achieved.

COMPUTER RELATED RISKS

Many mutual funds and other companies that issue securities, as well as
government entities upon whom those mutual funds and companies depend, may
be adversely affected by computer systems (whether their own systems or
systems of their service providers) that do not properly process dates
beginning with January 1, 2000 and information related to those dates. In
addition, many funds and other companies, especially those funds and
companies that do business in one or more national currencies of the
countries in the European Union (the "EU"), may be adversely affected by
computer systems that cannot accommodate concurrent references to two
currencies, the national currency and the euro (the proposed currency unit
of the EU). Beginning on January 1, 1999 and for the three years
thereafter, businesses and governments in most EU countries generally must
be prepared to conduct their businesses in their national currency and the
euro. After such three-year period, they must conduct their businesses only
in the euro.

The euro conversion presents additional risks for the LB World Growth
Fund and the LB Opportunity Growth Fund to the extent that they invest in
securities, denominated in a national currency that eventually will be
replaced by the euro. For example, trading, accounting and other
administrative systems must be able to reflect exchange rates between a
national currency of an EU member and the euro and to redenominate
outstanding tradable debt securities into the euro in accordance with
specific technical requirements.

The Investment Manager currently is in the process of reviewing its
internal computer systems as they relate to each of these Funds, as well as
the computer systems of those service providers upon which the Funds rely,
in order to obtain reasonable assurances that the Funds will not experience
a material adverse impact related to either problem. The Funds do not
currently anticipate that either problem will have a material adverse impact
on their portfolio investments, taken as a whole. There can be no
assurances in either area, however, including the possibility that either or
both problems could negatively affect the investment markets or the economy
generally.

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

The fundamental investment restrictions for the Funds are set forth
below. These fundamental investment restrictions may not be changed by a
Fund except by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of that Fund as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.
(Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, a "vote of the majority of the
outstanding voting securities" means the vote, at a meeting of security
holders duly called, (i) of 67% or more of the voting securities present at
a meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting
securities are present or represented by proxy or (ii) of more than 50% of
the outstanding voting securities, whichever is less (a "1940 Act Majority
Vote").) Under these restrictions, with respect to each Fund:

(1) The Fund may not borrow money, except that the Fund may
borrow money (through the issuance of debt securities or
otherwise) in an amount not exceeding one-third of the
Fund's total assets immediately after the time of such
borrowing.

(2) The Fund may not purchase or sell commodities or commodity
contracts, except that the Fund may invest in financial
futures contracts, options thereon and similar instruments.

(3) The Fund may not purchase or sell real estate unless acquired
as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments,
except that the Fund may invest in securities or other
instruments backed by real estate or securities of companies
engaged in the real estate business or that invest or deal in
real estate.

(4) The Fund may not engage in underwriting or agency
distribution of securities issued by others; provided,
however, that this restriction shall not be construed to
prevent or limit in any manner the power of the Fund to
purchase and resell restricted securities or securities for
investment.

(5) The Fund may not lend any of its assets except portfolio
securities. The purchase of corporate or U.S. or foreign
governmental bonds, debentures, notes, certificates of
indebtedness, repurchase agreements or other debt securities
of an issuer permitted by the Fund's investment objective and
policies will not be considered a loan for purposes of this
limitation.

(6) The Fund may not with respect to 75% of its total assets,
purchase the securities of any issuer (except Government
Securities, as such term is defined in the Investment Company
Act of 1940) if, as a result, the Fund would own more than
10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer or
the Fund would have more than 5% of its total assets invested
in the securities of such issuer.

(7) The Fund may not issue senior securities, except as permitted
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or any exemptive
order or rule issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

(8) The Fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental
investment policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in
the securities of a single open-end management investment
company with substantially the same fundamental investment
objectives, policies, and limitations as the Fund.

(9) The Fund may not invest in a security if the transaction
would result in 25% or more of the Fund's total assets being
invested in any one industry. With respect to Lutheran
Brotherhood Money Market Fund, this restriction does not apply
to Government Securities (as such term is defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940) or instruments issued by
domestic banks. This restriction does not apply to the LB
Municipal Bond Fund.

The following nonfundamental investment restriction may be changed
without shareholder approval. Under this restrictions, with respect to the
Fund:

(1) The Fund will not purchase any security while borrowings,
including reverse repurchase agreements, representing more
than 5% of the Fund's total assets are outstanding.

FUND MANAGEMENT

INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES

The Funds' investment adviser, LB Research, was organized as a
Pennsylvania corporation in 1969 and was reincorporated as a Minnesota
corporation in 1987. It has been in the investment advisory business since
1970. LB Research is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lutheran Brotherhood
Financial Corporation which, in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Lutheran Brotherhood, a fraternal benefit society. The officers and
directors of LB Research who are affiliated with the Trust are set forth
under "Fund Management".

Investment decisions for each of the Funds, except the LB Opportunity
Growth Fund and the LB World Growth Fund, are made by LB Research, subject
to the overall direction of the Board of Trustees. LB Research provides
overall investment supervision of the LB Opportunity Growth Fund's and the
LB World Growth Fund's investments, with investment decisions for that Fund
being made by investment sub-advisors. Except for the LB Opportunity Growth
Fund and the LB World Growth Fund, LB Research provides investment research
and supervision of each Fund's investments and conducts a continuous program
of investment evaluation and appropriate disposition and reinvestment of
each Fund's assets. LB Research assumes the expense of providing the
personnel to perform its advisory functions. Lutheran Brotherhood, the
indirect parent company of LB Research, also serves as the investment
adviser for LB Series Fund, Inc. The Master Advisory Contract (the "Advisory
Contract") for the Funds provides that Lutheran Brotherhood has reserved the
right to grant the non-exclusive use of the name "Lutheran Brotherhood" or
any derivative thereof to any other investment company, investment adviser,
distributor or other business enterprise, and to withdraw from each Fund the
use of the name "Lutheran Brotherhood". The name "Lutheran Brotherhood" will
continue to be used by each Fund as long as such use is mutually agreeable
to Lutheran Brotherhood and the Funds.

Investment decisions for the LB Opportunity Growth Fund are made by T.
Rowe Price Associates, Inc. ("T. Rowe Price"), which LB Research has engaged
as the sub-advisor for that Fund. T. Rowe Price manages the LB Opportunity
Growth Fund on a daily basis, subject to the overall direction of LB
Research and the Funds' Board of Trustees.

T. Rowe Price was founded in 1937 and has its principal offices in
Baltimore, Maryland. As of June 30, 1998, T. Rowe Price and its affiliates
managed over $141 billion.

Investment decisions for the LB World Growth Fund are made by Rowe
Price-Fleming International, Inc. ("Price-Fleming"), which LB Research has
engaged as the sub-advisor for that Fund. Price-Fleming manages that Fund on
a daily basis, subject to the overall direction of LB Research and the
Funds' Board of Trustees.

Price-Fleming was founded in 1979 as a joint venture between T. Rowe
Price Associates, Inc. and Robert Fleming Holdings Limited. Price-Fleming
is one of the world's largest international mutual fund asset managers with
the U.S. equivalent of over $33 billion under management as of June 30, 1998
in its offices in Baltimore, London, Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Buenos
Aires.

To the extent required under applicable state regulatory requirements,
the Investment Manager will reduce its management fee up to the amount of
any expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage expenses, distribution
expenses, extra-ordinary items and any other items allowed to be excluded by
applicable state law) paid or incurred by any of the Funds in any fiscal
year which exceed specified percentages of the average daily net assets of
such Fund for such fiscal year. The most restrictive of such percentage
limitations is (which does not presently apply to any of the Funds)
currently 2.5% of the first $30 million of average net assets, 2.0% of the
next $70 million of average net assets and 1.5% of the remaining average net
assets. These commitments may be amended or rescinded in response to changes
in the requirements of the various states by the Trustees without
shareholder approval.

The Advisory Contract provides that it shall continue in effect with
respect to each Fund from year to year as long as it is approved at least
annually both (i) by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of such Fund (as defined in the 1940 Act) or by the Trustees of
the Trust, and (ii) in either event by a vote of a majority of the Trustees
who are not parties to the Advisory Contract or "interested persons" of any
party thereto, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting
on such approval. The Advisory Contract may be terminated on 60 days'
written notice by either party and will terminate automatically in the event
of its assignment, as defined under the 1940 Act and regulations thereunder.
Such regulations provide that a transaction which does not result in a
change of actual control or management of an adviser is not deemed an
assignment.

The Sub-advisory Contract between the Trust and T. Rowe Price provides
that it shall continue in effect with respect to the LB Opportunity Growth
Fund from year to year as long as it is approved at least annually both (i)
by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund
(as defined in the 1940 Act) or by the Trustees of the Trust, and (ii) in
either event by a vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to
the Sub-advisory Contract or "interested persons" of any party thereto, cast
in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
The Sub-advisory Contract may be terminated on 60 days' written notice by
either party and will terminate automatically in the event of its
assignment, as defined under the 1940 Act and regulations thereunder. Such
regulations provide that a transaction which does not result in a change of
actual control or management of an adviser is not deemed an assignment.

The Sub-advisory Contract between the Trust and Price-Fleming provides
that it shall continue in effect with respect to the LB World Growth Fund
from year to year as long as it is approved at least annually both (i) by a
vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund (as
defined in the 1940 Act) or by the Trustees of the Trust, and (ii) in either
event by a vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the
Sub-advisory Contract or "interested persons" of any party thereto, cast in
person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. The
Sub-advisory Contract may be terminated on 60 days' written notice by either
party and will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment, as
defined under the 1940 Act and regulations thereunder. Such regulations
provide that a transaction which does not result in a change of actual
control or management of an adviser is not deemed an assignment.

partial waivers of advisory fees may be discontinued at any time.

LB Research has also agreed until further notice to LB Mid Cap Growth
Fund to waive its advisory fee and if necessary, to bear certain expenses
associated with operating the Fund in order to limit the Fund's total
operating expenses for the Class A shares, Class B shares and Institutional

the average daily net assets of the relevant class. LB Research has also

fees in order to limit LB Money Market Fund's total operating expenses for
the Class A, Class B shares and Institutional Class shares to 0.95%, 0.95%,

Fund's average daily net assets. At October 31, 1997, the combined assets of
LB World Growth Fund and World Growth Portfolio totaled $351.0 million.

The total dollar amount paid by LB Research to Price-Fleming under the
investment sub-advisory contract for LB World Growth Fund for the fiscal
year ended October 31, 1998 is $_____.

DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND DISTRIBUTION CONTRACT

The Trust has adopted a Plan of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the 1940 Act (the "12b-1 Plan") with respect to the Class B shares of
each Fund except for the LB Money Market Fund. The 12b-1 Plan permits, among
other things, payment by each such Fund for the purpose of (1) making
payments to underwriters, securities dealers and others engaged in the sale
of Class B shares, including payments to LB Securities to be used to
compensate or reimburse the LB Securities and others (including affiliates
of LB Securities) engaged in the distribution and marketing of Class B
shares or furnishing assistance to investors on an ongoing basis, and (2)
providing reimbursement of direct out-of-pocket expenditures incurred by LB
Securities in connection with the distribution and marketing of Class B
shares, (3) providing reimbursements of payments of commissions to LB
Securities's field force and others involved in the distribution of the
Class B shares at the time of purchase, plus interest at a rate not to
exceed prime plus 1% on the amount of unreimbursed commissions and (4)
providing payment of expenses relating to the formulation and implementation
of marketing strategies and promotional activities such as direct mail
promotions and television, radio, newspaper, magazine and other mass media
advertising, the preparation, printing and distribution of sales literature,
the preparation, printing and distribution of prospectuses of the Trust and
reports for recipients other than existing shareholders of the Trust, and
obtaining such information, analyses and reports with respect to marketing
and promotional activities and investor accounts as the Trust may, from time
to time, deem advisable. The Trust and the Funds are authorized to engage in
the activities listed above, and in other activities primarily intended to
result in the sale of Class B shares, either directly or through other
persons with which the Trust has entered into agreements pursuant to the
12b-1 Plan.

The 12b-1 Plan provides that it may not be amended to increase
materially the costs which a Fund may bear pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan
without approval by a 1940 Act Majority Vote of the Class B shareholders and
that other material amendments of the 12b-1 Plan must be approved by the
Trustees, and by the Trustees who are neither "interested persons" (as
defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust nor have any direct or indirect
financial interest in the operation of the 12b-1 Plan or in any related
agreement (the "Qualified Trustees"), by vote cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of considering such amendments. While the 12b-1 Plan
is in effect, the selection and nomination of the Trustees of the Trust who
are not "interested persons" of the Trust has been committed to the
discretion of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust.
The 12b-1 Plan was initially approved by the Board of Trustees, including a
majority of the Qualified Trustees, on September 9, 1997, and is subject to
annual approval, by the Board of Trustees and by the Qualified Trustees by
vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the
12b-1 Plan. The 12b-1 Plan is terminable with respect to the Class B shares
of any Fund at any time by a vote of a majority of the Qualified Trustees or
by 1940 Act Majority Vote of the Class B shareholders of such Fund. A
quarterly report of the amounts expended under the 12b-1 Plan and the
purposes for which such expenditures were incurred must be made to the
Trustees for their review.

The Funds' distributor, LB Securities, is a Pennsylvania corporation
organized in 1969. LB Securities is a wholly-owned subsidiary of LB Research
and is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The officers and directors of LB
Securities who are affiliated with the Trust are set forth under "Fund
Management". Under a First Amended and Restated Distribution Contract dated
October 31, 1997 (the "Distribution Contract"), LB Securities is granted the
right to sell Class A, Class B and Institutional Class shares of the Funds
as agent for the Trust. LB Securities agrees to use its best efforts to
secure purchasers for the shares of the Funds. In connection with the
services to be provided by LB Securities under the Distribution Contract, LB
Securities receives from each Fund other than LB Money Market Fund an amount
with respect to Class B shares determined at an annual rate of .75% of the
average daily net asset value represented by such shares, such amount to be
paid in arrears at the end of each calendar month. The Distribution Contract
was initially approved by the Board of Trustees including a majority of the
Qualified Trustees, on September 9, 1997, and will continue in effect from
year to year so long as its continuance is approved at least annually by the
Board of Trustees and the Qualified Trustees.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1998 each Fund paid LB Securities
fees under the Distribution Plan and the distributor used all of such
payments for expenses incurred on behalf of the Class B shares of the Funds

SHAREHOLDER SERVICING PLANS

The Trust has adopted shareholder servicing plans (each a "Shareholder
Servicing Plan") for the Class A and Class B shares of each Fund (including
LB Money Market Fund). Each Shareholder Servicing Plan provides that the
relevant class may spend annually, directly or indirectly, up to .25% of the
average daily value of the net assets attributable to the relevant class for
shareholder servicing activities. Under the Distribution Contract, LB
Securities has agreed to undertake certain shareholder servicing activities
on behalf of the Funds in exchange for a fee of .25% of the average daily
value of the net assets represented by Class A and Class B shares. A
quarterly report of the amounts expended under the Shareholder Servicing
Plans, and the purposes for which such expenditures were incurred, must be
made to the Trustees for their review. Each Shareholder Servicing Plans may
be amended by a majority of the Qualified Trustees or by a 1940 Act Majority
Vote by shareholders of the respective class. The Shareholder Servicing
Plans have been approved, and are subject to annual approval, by the Board
of Trustees and the Qualified Trustees.

BROKERAGE TRANSACTIONS

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

In connection with the management of the investment and reinvestment of
the assets of the Funds, the Advisory Contract authorizes LB Research,
acting by its own officers, directors or employees or by a duly authorized
subcontractor, including T. Rowe Price and Price-Fleming (each a "sub-
advisor"), to select the brokers or dealers that will execute purchase and
sale transactions for the Funds. In executing portfolio transactions and
selecting brokers or dealers, if any, LB Research and the sub-advisors will
use reasonable efforts to seek on behalf of the Funds the best overall terms
available. In assessing the best overall terms available for any
transaction, LB Research and the sub-advisors will consider all factors it
deems relevant, including the breadth of the market in and the price of the
security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker or
dealer, and the reasonableness of the commission, if any (for the specific
transaction and on a continuing basis). In evaluating the best overall terms
available, and in selecting the broker or dealer, if any, to execute a
particular transaction, LB Research and the sub-advisors may also consider
the brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) provided to any other accounts
over which LB Research or the sub-advisors or an affiliate of LB Research or
the sub-advisors exercises investment discretion. LB Research and the sub-
advisors may pay to a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and
research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction which
is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have
charged for effecting that transaction if, but only if, LB Research or the
sub-advisors determines in good faith that such commission was reasonable in
relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided.

To the extent that the receipt of the above-described services may
supplant services for which LB Research or the sub-advisors might otherwise
have paid, it would, of course, tend to reduce the expenses of LB Research
or the sub-advisors.

The investment decisions for a Fund are and will continue to be made
independently from those of other investment companies and accounts managed
by LB Research, a sub-advisor, or their affiliates. Such other investment
companies and accounts may also invest in the same securities as a Fund.
When purchases and sales of the same security are made at substantially the
same time on behalf of such other investment companies and accounts,
transactions may be averaged as to the price and available investments
allocated as to the amount in a manner which LB Research and its affiliates
believe to be equitable to each investment company or account, including the
Fund. In some instances, this investment procedure may affect the price paid
or received by a Fund or the size of the position obtainable or sold by a
Fund.

AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS OF THE SUB-ADVISORS

Subject to applicable SEC rules, as well as other regulatory
requirements, the sub-advisors of the LB Opportunity Growth Fund and the LB
World Growth Fund may allocate orders to brokers or dealers affiliated with
such sub-advisors. Such allocation shall be in such amounts and proportions
as the sub-advisor shall determine and the Fund's sub-advisor will report
such allocations either to LB Research, which will report such allocations
to the Board of Trustees, or, if requested, directly to the Board of
Trustees.

BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS

During the last three fiscal years, the Funds paid the following
brokerage fees:

10/31/98 10/31/97 10/31/96
LB Opportunity Growth Fund $ $ 520,660 $ 472,846
LB Mid Cap Growth Fund 29,180 --
LB World Growth Fund* 102,408 108,394
LB Fund 941,481 1,349,473
LB High Yield Fund 15,071 36,567
LB Income 162,275 92,838
LB Municipal Bond Fund 7,399 7,399
LB Money Market Fund -- --

- --------------------

* Amount paid to affiliated broker-dealer is $__________ for the fiscal
year ended October 31, 1998, $2,608 for the fiscal year ended October 31,
1997, and $4,028 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1996.

Of the brokerage fee amounts stated above and underwriting concessions
of dealers from whom the Funds purchased newly issued debt securities, the
following percentages were paid to firms which provided research,
statistical, or other services to LB Research or the Sub-advisor in
connection with the management of the Funds:

10/31/98 10/31/97 10/31/96
LB Opportunity Growth Fund 6.68% 0.60%
LB Mid Cap Growth Fund 68.99 --
LB World Growth Fund 0.48
LB Fund 1.30 7.17
LB High Yield Fund 0.00 0.24
LB Income Fund 5.12 6.41
LB Municipal Bond Fund 0.00 0.00
LB Money Market Fund 0.00 0.00

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER RATE

The rate of portfolio turnover in the Funds will not be a limiting
factor when LB Research or the Sub-advisor deems changes in a Fund's
portfolio appropriate in view of its investment objectives. As a result,
while a Fund will not purchase or sell securities solely to achieve short
term trading profits, a Fund may sell portfolio securities without regard to
the length of time held if consistent with the Fund's investment objective.
A higher degree of equity portfolio activity will increase brokerage costs
to a Fund. The portfolio turnover rate is computed by dividing the dollar
amount of securities purchased or sold (whichever is smaller) by the average
value of securities owned during the year. Short-term investments such as
commercial paper and short-term U.S. Government securities are not
considered when computing the turnover rate.

For the last three fiscal years, the portfolio turnover rates of the LB
Opportunity Growth Fund, LB Mid Cap Growth Fund, LB World Growth Fund, LB
Fund, LB High Yield Fund, LB Income Fund, and LB Municipal Bond Fund were as
follows:

10/31/98 10/31/97 10/31/96
LB Opportunity Growth Fund 136% 176%
LB Mid Cap Growth Fund 94% --
LB World Growth Fund 17% 11%
LB Fund 54% 91%
LB High Yield Fund 113% 104%
LB Income Fund 97% 142%
LB Municipal Bond Fund 18% 33%

CODE OF ETHICS

The Trust has adopted a code of ethics that imposes certain limitations
and restrictions on personal securities transactions by persons having
access to Fund investment information, including portfolio managers. Such
access persons may not purchase any security being offered under an initial
public offering, any security for which one of the Funds has a purchase or
sale order pending, or any security currently under active consideration for
purchase or sale by a Fund. Additionally, portfolio managers of the Funds
may not purchase or sell any security within seven days before or after any
transaction in such security by the Fund that he or she manages. In order
for the Trust to monitor the personal investment transactions, all access
persons must obtain the approval of an officer of the Trust designated by
the Trustees before they may purchase or sell any security and they must
have all such transactions reported to such officer by the broker-dealer
through which the transaction was accomplished.

PURCHASING SHARES

Initial purchases of Fund shares must be made by check and accompanied
by an application. Subsequent purchases may be made by:

- check;
- Federal Reserve or bank wire;
- Invest-by-Phone;
- Systematic Investment Plan (SIP); and
- automatic payroll deduction.

Use of checks, Federal Reserve or bank wire and Invest-by-Phone is
explained in the General Information section of the Fund's prospectus under
"Buying Shares of The Lutheran Brotherhood Family of Funds".

SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN

Under the Systematic Investment Plan program, funds may be withdrawn
monthly from the shareholder's checking account and invested in the Funds.
LB Securities representatives will provide shareholders with the necessary
authorization forms.

AUTOMATIC PAYROLL DEDUCTION

Under the Automatic Payroll Deduction program, funds may be withdrawn
monthly from the payroll account of any eligible shareholder of a Fund and
invested in a Fund. To be eligible for this program, the shareholder's
employer must permit and be qualified to conduct automatic payroll
deductions. LB Securities representatives will provide shareholders with the
necessary authorization forms.

SALES CHARGES

Purchases of Fund shares other than the Institutional Class shares
carry either an initial sales charges (Class A) or contingent deferred sales
charge (Class B) as explained in the section of the Funds' prospectus
relating to such shares entitled, "Choosing Your Class of Shares", which
also lists ways to reduce or avoid sales charges on subsequent purchases.

In addition to the situations described in the prospectus, sales
charges are waived when shares are purchased by:

- directors and regular full-time and regular part-time
employees of Lutheran Brotherhood and its subsidiaries;

- registered representatives of LB Securities; and

- any trust, pension, profit-sharing or other benefit plan
for such persons.

FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES

Regular full-time and regular part-time employees of Lutheran
Brotherhood are persons who are defined as such by the Lutheran Brotherhood
Human Resources Policy Manual.

RESTRICTION ON SALE OF SHARES PURCHASED

Sales to any of the persons or groups mentioned in this section are
made only with the purchaser's written promise that the shares will not be
resold, except through redemption or repurchase by or on behalf of a Fund.

NET ASSET VALUE

LB OPPORTUNITY GROWTH FUND, LB MID CAP GROWTH FUND, LB WORLD GROWTH FUND,
LB FUND, LB HIGH YIELD FUND, LB INCOME FUND, AND LB MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

The net asset value per share is determined at the close of each day
the New York Stock Exchange is open, or any other day as provided by Rule
22c-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Determination of net asset
value may be suspended when the Exchange is closed or if certain emergencies
have been determined to exist by the Securities and Exchange Commission, as
allowed by the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Net asset value is determined by adding the market or appraised value
of all securities and other assets attributable to each class of shares;
subtracting liabilities attributable to such class; and dividing the result
by the number of shares of such class outstanding.

The market value of each Fund's portfolio securities is determined at
the close of regular trading of the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange")
on each day the Exchange is open. The value of portfolio securities is
determined in the following manner:

- - Equity securities traded on the Exchange or any other national
securities exchange are valued at the last sale price. If there has
been no sale on that day or if the security is unlisted, it is
valued at prices within the range of the current bid and asked
prices considered best to represent value in the circumstances.

- - Equity securities not traded on a national securities exchange are
valued at prices within the range of the current bid and asked
prices considered best to represent the value in the circumstances,
except that securities for which quotations are furnished through
the nationwide automated quotation system approved by the NASDAQ
will be valued at their last sales prices so furnished on the date
of valuation, if such quotations are available for sales occurring
on that day.

- - Bonds and other income securities traded on a national securities
exchange will be valued at the last sale price on such national
securities exchange that day. LB Research may value such securities
on the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service
or within the range of the current bid and asked prices considered
best to represent the value in the circumstances, if those prices
are believed to better reflect the fair market value of such
exchange listed securities.

- - Bonds and other income securities not traded on a national
securities exchange will be valued within the range of the current
bid and asked prices considered best to represent the value in the
circumstances. Such securities may also be valued on the basis of
prices provided by an independent pricing service if those prices
are believed to reflect the fair market value of such securities.

For all Funds other than the Money Market Fund, short-term securities
with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost; those with
maturities greater than 60 days are valued at the mean between bid and asked
price.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined
without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional
trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate,
maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data
employed in determining valuation for such securities.

All other securities and assets will be appraised at fair value as
determined by the Board of Trustees.

Generally, trading in foreign securities, as well as U.S. Government
securities, money market instruments and repurchase agreements, is
substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the
Exchange. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset
value of shares of a Fund are determined as of such times. Foreign currency
exchange rates are also generally determined prior to the close of the
Exchange. Occasionally, events affecting the value of such securities and
exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and
the close of the Exchange, which will not be reflected in the computation of
net asset values. If during such periods events occur which materially
affect the value of such securities, the securities will be valued at their
fair market value as determined in good faith by the Trustees of the Fund.

For purposes of determining the net asset value of shares of a Fund all
assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies will be
converted into U.S. dollars quoted by a major bank that is a regular
participant in the foreign exchange market or on the basis of a pricing
service that takes into account the quotes provided by a number of such
major banks.

LB MONEY MARKET FUND

Securities held by the LB Money Market Fund are valued on the basis of
amortized cost, which involves a constant amortization of premium or
accretion of discount to maturity regardless of the impact of fluctuating
interest rates on the market value of the security. While this method
provides certainty in valuation, it may result in periods in which the value
as determined by amortized cost is higher or lower than the price the LB
Money Market Fund would receive if it sold the security.

The LB Money Market Fund anticipates that under ordinary and usual
circumstances it will be able to maintain a constant net asset value of
$1.00 per share and the LB Money Market Fund will use its best efforts to do
so. However, such maintenance at $1.00 might not be possible if (1) there
are changes in short-term interest rates or other factors such as
unfavorable changes in the credit of issuers affecting the values of the
securities held by the LB Money Market Fund and the LB Money Market Fund is
compelled to sell such securities at a time when the prices which it is able
to realize vary significantly from the values determined on the amortized
cost basis or (2) the LB Money Market Fund will have positive net income at
the time of each determination thereof.

The utilization of the amortized cost method of valuation requires
compliance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Such
compliance requires, among other things, the following:

(1) The Trustees must adopt procedures whereby the extent of
deviation, if any, of the current net asset value per share
calculated using available market quotations (or an appropriate
substitute which reflects current market conditions) from the LB
Money Market Fund's net asset value per share under the amortized
cost valuation method will be determined at such intervals as the
Trustees deem appropriate and reasonable in light of current
market conditions, and the Trustees must review periodically the
amount of the deviation as well as the methods used to calculate
the deviation;

(2) In the event such deviation from the LB Money Market Fund's net
asset value under the amortized cost valuation method exceeds
1/2 of 1%, the Trustees must promptly consider what action should
be initiated by them, and when the Trustees believe the extent of
any deviation from the LB Money Market Fund's net asset value per
share under the amortized cost valuation method may result in
material dilution or any other unfair results to investors or
existing shareholders, they must take such action as they deem
appropriate to eliminate or reduce to the extent reasonably
practicable such dilution or unfair results (shareholders will be
notified in the event any such corrective action is taken by the
Trustees);

(3) The LB Money Market Fund may not purchase any instrument with a
remaining maturity greater than 397 calendar days or maintain a
dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity which exceeds 90 days;

(4) The LB Money Market Fund must limit its portfolio investments,
including repurchase agreements, to those United States dollar-
denominated instruments which the Trustees determine present
minimal credit risks and which are "eligible securities" as
defined in Rule 2a-7; and

(5) The LB Money Market Fund must record, maintain and preserve
certain records and observe certain reporting obligations in
accordance with Rule 2a-7.

Securities in which the LB Money Market Fund invests must be U.S.
dollar-denominated Eligible Securities (as defined in Rule 2a-7 under the
1940 Act) that are determined to present minimal credit risks. In general,
the term "Eligible Security" is limited to any security that:

(i) (a) either (1) has received a short-term rating from a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO") or has been
issued by an issuer that has received a short-term rating from an
NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations (or any debt
obligation within that class) that is comparable in priority and
security with the security or (2) is subject to a guarantee that
has received a short-term rating from an NRSRO, or a guarantee
issued by a guarantor that has received a short-term rating from
an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations (or any debt
obligation within that class) that is comparable in priority and
security with the guarantee, (b) has a remaining maturity of 397
calendar days or less and (c) has received a rating from the
requisite number of NRSROs (i.e.. two, if two organizations have
issued ratings and one if only one has issued a rating) in one of
the two highest short-term major rating categories; or

(ii) is unrated but is of comparable quality to a rated security as
described in (i), above, and which at the time of issuance (a)
had a remaining maturity of more than 397 calendar days and now
has a remaining maturity of 397 calendar days or less, and (b)
has not received a long-term rating from an NRSRO in any NRSRO
major rating category outside of the NRSRO's three highest major
rating categories, unless the security has received a long-term
rating from the requisite number of NRSROs (i.e., two, if two
organizations have issued ratings and one if only one has issued
a rating) in one of the three highest long-term major rating
categories.

As indicated in the Prospectus, at least 95% of the LB Money Market
Fund's total assets will consist of government securities and "first tier"
eligible securities as defined in Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, with the
balance of the LB Money Market Fund's assets invested in "second tier"
eligible securities as defined in Rule 2a-7. For this purpose, "second
tier" eligible securities generally are those which have been (i) rated by
at least two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations in one
of the two highest rating categories for short-term obligations (or so rated
by one such organization if it alone has rated the security), (ii) issued by
an issuer with comparable short-term obligations that are rated in one of
the two highest rating categories, or (iii) if unrated, determined to be
comparable to such securities. The LB Money Market Fund may not invest more
than the greater of 1% of its total assets or $1 million in "second tier"
eligible securities of any single issuer.

CONVERSION TO FEDERAL FUNDS

It is the LB Money Market Fund's policy to be as fully invested as
possible so that maximum interest may be earned on money market instruments
in the Fund's portfolio. To the end, all payments from investors must be in
federal funds or be converted into federal funds when deposited to State
Street Bank' account at the Boston Federal Reserve Bank. This conversion
must be made before shares are purchased. State Street Bank will act as the
investor's agent in depositing checks and converting them to federal funds.
State Street will convert the funds and enter the investor's order for
shares within two days of receipt of the check.

REDEEMING SHARES

Shares may be redeemed with requests made:

- in writing;
- through Redeem-by-Phone; or
- through the Lutheran Brotherhood systematic withdrawal plan.

All methods of redemption are described in the Funds' prospectus under
"Redeeming Shares".

TAX STATUS

THE FUNDS' TAX STATUS

The Funds expect to pay no federal income tax because they intend to
meet requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies and to receive the special tax treatment
afforded to such companies. To qualify for this treatment, each Fund must,
among other requirements:

- derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends,
interest, gains from the sale of securities, and certain
other investments;

- invest in securities within certain statutory limits; and

- distribute at least 90% of its ordinary income to
shareholders.

It is each Fund's policy to distribute substantially all of its income
on a timely basis, including any net realized gains on investments each
year.

To avoid payment of a 4% excise tax, each Fund is also generally
required to distribute to shareholders at least 98% of its ordinary income
earned during the calendar year and 98% of its net capital gains realized
during the 12-month period ending October 31.

SHAREHOLDERS' TAX STATUS

Information on a shareholder's tax status is described in the Fund's
prospectus under "Taxes."

CAPITAL GAINS

While the Funds do not intend to engage in short-term trading, they may
dispose of securities held for only a short time if LB Research believes it
to be advisable. Such changes may result in the realization of capital
gains. Each Fund distributes its realized gains in accordance with federal
tax regulations. Distributions from any net realized capital gains will
usually be declared in December.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Lutheran Brotherhood Family of Funds, a business trust organized
under the laws of the State of Delaware, was established pursuant to a
Master Trust Agreement dated July 15, 1993. The Trust is authorized to issue
shares of beneficial interest, par value $.001 per share, divisible into an
indefinite number of different series and classes and operates as a "series
company" as provided by Rule 18f-2 under the 1940 Act. Currently, eight
series of the Trust exist and each series is authorized to issue three
classes of shares: Class A, Class B and Institutional Class shares.
Effective October 31, 1997, all of the outstanding shares of the Funds were
redesignated as Class A shares and, immediately thereafter, shares held by
Lutheran institutions and church organizations with accounts of at least
$100,000 were automatically converted to Institutional Class shares. The
attributes of the various classes of shares are more fully described in
their respective prospectus. The interests of investors in the various
series of the Trust will be separate and distinct.

The assets received by the Trust from the issue and sale of shares of a
Fund and all income, earnings, profits and proceeds thereof, subject only to
the rights of creditors, are specially allocated to each class of such Fund
and constitute the underlying assets of such Fund. The underlying assets of
such Fund are required to be segregated on the books of account, and are
charged with the expenses in respect of each class of the Fund and with a
share of the general expenses of the Trust. Under the Trust's Multiple Class
Expense Allocation Plan adopted under Rule 18f-3 of the 1940 Act, all
expenses other than Rule 12b-1 and shareholder servicing fees are allocated
pro rata based on the relative net assets of each class. Upon any
liquidation of a Fund, shareholders thereof are entitled to share pro rata
in the net assets of each class available for distribution.

Except for the LB World Growth Fund and the LB Mid Cap Growth Fund,
each Fund is the successor to a fund of the same name that previously
operated as a separate corporation or trust. At a Special Meeting of
Shareholders of each such fund held on October 28, 1993, the shareholders of
each fund approved a reorganization of the respective funds as separate
series of the Trust, which reorganization became effective on November 1,
1993. The LB World Growth Fund and the LB Mid Cap Growth Fund commenced
operations as a series of The Lutheran Brotherhood Family of Funds on
September 5, 1995 and May 30, 1997, respectively.

CALCULATION OF PERFORMANCE DATA

The total return and yield of the Class A, Class B and Institutional
Class shares will be calculated as set forth below. Total return and yield
are computed separately for each class of shares of the Funds. The
performance data listed below covers periods prior to the adoption of the
current class designations. Shares of the Funds had no class designations
until October 31, 1997, when designations were assigned based upon the sales
charges, Rule 12b-1 fees and shareholder servicing fees applicable to shares
sold thereafter. Total return and yield performance data for periods prior
to October 31, 1997 have been restated to reflect the revised initial sales
charge schedule for the Class A shares and the CDSC for the Class B shares
that became effective on that date. However, the total return and yield
performance data have not been restated to reflect Rule 12b-1 fees for the
Class B shares and shareholder servicing fees for the Class A and B shares,
which will adversely affect performance after October 31, 1997.

Performance data after October 31, 1997 reflects Rule 12b-1 fees,
shareholder servicing fees and sales charges, where applicable, as follows:

Class Rule 12b-1 Shareholder Sales Charge
Servicing Fee
---------- ------------- -------------

A None .25% of average Maximum 4.0% initial
daily net assets sales charge
reflected(1)

B .75% of .25% of average 1- and 5- year
average daily daily net assets periods reflect a
net assets(1) 5% and 1% CDSD,
respectively(1)

Institutional None None None

- -----------------

(1) Except for LB Money Market Fund, which is not subject to initial sales
charges, CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees.

Calculations of performance data for all Funds except LB Opportunity
Growth Fund in this section reflect the subsidization by Fund affiliates of
fees and expenses relating to the Fund during the subject period. In the
absence of such subsidization actual performance would be lower.

TOTAL RETURN

Average annual total return is computed by determining the average
annual compounded rates of return over the designated periods that, if
applied to the initial amount invested would produce the ending redeemable
value, according to the following formula:

P(1+T)(n) = ERV

[In the above formula "n" is an exponent.]

Where: P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000

T = average annual total return

n = number of years

ERV = ending redeemable value at the end of the
designated period assuming a hypothetical
$1,000 payment made at the beginning of the
designated period

The calculation is based on the further assumptions that the maximum
initial sales charge applicable to the investment is deducted, and that all
dividends and distributions by the Fund are reinvested at net asset value on
the reinvestment dates during the periods. All accrued expenses are also
taken into account as described later herein.

The following table presents the average annual returns of the Class A
shares for the indicated periods ended October 31, 1998:

shares effective October 31, 1997. Does not reflect the shareholder
servicing fee applicable to the Class A shares for periods prior to October

YIELD

Yield is computed by dividing the net investment income per share
earned during a recent month or other specified 30-day period by the
applicable maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period
and annualizing the result, according to the following formula:

[A formula is expressed here that is as follows:

Yield is equal to 2 times the difference between the sixth power of a
number and 1, where that number is equal to the sum of the quotient of a
divided by b and 1.]

Where:

a = dividends and interest earned during the period
minus expenses accrued for the period (net of
voluntary expense reductions by the Investment
Manager)

b = the average daily number of shares outstanding
during the period that were entitled to receive
dividends multiplied by the maximum offering
price per share on the last day of the period

To calculate interest earned (for the purpose of "a" above) on debt
obligations, a Fund computes the yield to maturity of each obligation held
by a Fund based on the market value of the obligation (including actual
accrued interest) at the close of the last business day of the preceding
period, or, with respect to obligations purchased during the period, the
purchase price (plus actual accrued interest). The yield to maturity is then
divided by 360 and the quotient is multiplied by the market value of the
obligation (including actual accrued interest) to determine the interest
income on the obligation for each day of the period that the obligation is
in the portfolio. Dividend income is recognized daily based on published
rates.

In the case of a tax-exempt obligation issued without original issue
discount and having a current market discount, the coupon rate of interest
is used in lieu of the yield to maturity. Where, in the case of a tax-exempt
obligation with original issue discount, the discount based on the current
market value exceeds the then-remaining portion of original issue discount
(market discount), the yield to maturity is the imputed rate based on the
original issue discount calculation. Where, in the case of a tax-exempt
obligation with original issue discount, the discount based on the current
market value is less than the then-remaining portion of original issue
discount (market premium), the yield to maturity is based on the market
value. Dividend income is recognized daily based on published rates.

With respect to the treatment of discount and premium on mortgage or
other receivables-backed obligations which are expected to be subject to
monthly payments of principal and interest ("paydowns"), a Fund accounts for
gain or loss attributable to actual monthly paydowns as a realized capital
gain or loss during the period. Each Fund has elected not to amortize
discount or premium on such securities.

Undeclared earned income, computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, may be subtracted from the maximum offering
price. Undeclared earned income is the net investment income which, at the
end of the base period, has not been declared as a dividend, but is
reasonably expected to be declared as a dividend shortly thereafter. The
maximum offering price includes, as applicable, a maximum sales charge of
4.0%.

All accrued expenses are taken into account as described later herein.

Yield information is useful in reviewing a Fund's performance, but
because yields fluctuate, such information cannot necessarily be used to
compare an investment in a Fund's shares with bank deposits, savings
accounts and similar investment alternatives which are insured and/or often
provide an agreed or guaranteed fixed yield for a stated period of time.
Shareholders should remember that yield is a function of the kind and
quality of the instruments in the Fund's portfolio, portfolio maturity and
operating expenses and market conditions.

The 30-day yield for the base period ended October 31, 1998, including
the maximum sales charge of 4% for the LB High Yield Fund, LB Income Fund
and LB Municipal Bond Fund were ____%, ____% and ____% respectively.

TAX EQUIVALENT YIELD

The LB Municipal Bond Fund may quote its tax equivalent yield. The LB
Municipal Bond Fund's tax equivalent yield is computed by dividing that
portion of such Fund's yield (computed as described under "Yield" above)
which is tax-exempt, by the complement of the combined federal and state
maximum effective marginal rate and adding the result to that portion, if
any, of the yield of such Fund that is not tax-exempt. The complement, for
example, of a tax rate of 31% is 69%, that is 1.00 - 0.31 = 0.69.

The LB Municipal Bond Fund's tax equivalent yields for the 30-day base
period ended October 31, 1998, including the maximum sales charge of 4%
assuming a tax rate of 15%, 28%, 31% and 39.6%, were ____%, ____%, ____% and
____%, respectively.

YIELD - MONEY MARKET FUND

When the LB Money Market Fund quotes a "current annualized" yield, it
is based on a specified recent seven calendar-day period. It is computed by
(1) determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes, in the value
of a hypothetical preexisting account having a balance of one share at the
beginning of the period, (2) dividing the net change in account value by the
value of the account at the beginning of the base period to obtain the base
return, then (3) multiplying the base period by 52.14 (365 divided by 7).
The resulting yield figure is carried to the nearest hundredth of one
percent.

The calculation includes (1) the value of additional shares purchased
with dividends on the original share, and dividends declared on both the
original share and any such additional shares, and (2) all fees charge to
all shareholder accounts, in proportion to the length of the base period and
the Trust's average account size.

The capital changes excluded from the calculation are realized capital
gains and losses from the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation and
depreciation. The Fund's effective (compounded) yield will be computed by
dividing the seven-day annualized yield as defined above by 365, adding 1 to
the quotient, raising the sum to the 365th power, and subtracting 1 from the
result.

Current and effective yields fluctuate daily and will vary with factors
such as interest rates and the quality, length of maturities, and type of
investments in the portfolio.

Yield For 7-day Period Ended 10/31/98...................... ____%

Effective Yield For 7-day Period Ended 10/31/98............ ____%

ACCRUED EXPENSES

Accrued expenses include all recurring expenses that are charged to all
shareholder accounts in proportion to the length of the base period. The
average annual total return and yield results take sales charges, if
applicable, into account, although the results do not take into account
recurring and nonrecurring charges for optional services which only certain
shareholders elect and which involve nominal fees.

Accrued expenses include the subsidization by Fund affiliates of fees
or expenses relating to a Fund, during the subject period.

NONSTANDARDIZED TOTAL RETURN

A Fund may provide the above described average annual total return
results for periods which end no earlier than the most recent calendar
quarter end and which begin one, five and ten years before such quarter end
and at the commencement of such Fund's operations. In addition, a Fund may
provide nonstandardized total return results for differing periods, such as
for the most recent six months, and/or without taking sales charges into
account. Such nonstandardized total return is computed as otherwise
described under "Total Return" except that the result may or may not be
annualized, and as noted any applicable sales charge may not be taken into
account and therefore not deducted from the hypothetical initial payment of
$1,000.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT RATINGS

Moody's Investors Service, Inc. describes grades of corporate debt
securities and "Prime-1" and "Prime-2" commercial paper as follows:

BONDS:

Aaa Bonds which are 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 edged". Interest payments are protected by a
large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure.
While the various protective elements are likely to change, such
changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the
fundamentally strong position of such issues.

Aa Bonds which are 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. They are rated lower than the
best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as in
Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of
greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make
the long term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.

A Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment
attributes and are to be considered as upper medium grade
obligations. Factors giving security to principal and interest are
considered adequate but elements may be present which suggest a
susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.

Baa Bonds which are 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 which are 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 characterizes bonds in
this class.

B Bonds which are rated B generally lack characteristics of the
desirable investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments
or of maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long
period of time may be small.

Caa Bonds which are 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 which are rated Ca represent obligations which are
speculative in a high degree. Such issues are often in default or
have other marked shortcomings.

C Bonds which are rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds and
issues so rated can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects
of ever attaining any real investment standing.

COMMERCIAL PAPER:

Issuers rated Prime-1 (or related supporting institutions) have a
superior capacity for repayment of senior short-term promissory obligations.
Prime-1 repayment capacity will normally be evidenced by the following
characteristics:

o Leading market positions in well-established industries.

o High rates of return of funds employed.

o Conservative capitalization structures with moderate reliance
on debt and ample asset protection.

o Broad margins in earnings coverage of fixed financial charges
and high internal cash generation.

o Well established access to a range of financial markets and
assured sources of alternate liquidity.

Issuers rated Prime-2 (or related supporting institutions) have a
strong capacity for repayment of senior short-term promissory obligations.
This will normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above
but to a lesser degree. Earning trends and coverage ratios, while sound,
will be more subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while
still appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions. Ample
alternate liquidity is maintained.

Standard & Poor's Corporation describes grades of corporate debt
securities and "A" commercial paper as follows:

BONDS:

AAA Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard &
Poor's. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely
strong.

AA Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal and differs from AAA issues only in small degree.

A Debt rated A is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of
changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt in
higher rated categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet
its financial commitments on the obligation is still strong.

BBB Debt rated BBB exhibits adequate protection parameters, adverse
economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to
lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial
commitments on the obligation in this category than in higher rated
categories.

BB Debt rated BB is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other
speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties
or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions
which could lead to inadequate capacity of the obligor to meet its
financial commitments on the obligation. The BB rating category is
also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an
actual or implied BBB-rating.

B Debt rated B is more vulnerable to nonpayment but currently has the
capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely
impair the obligor's capacity or willingness to meet its financial
commitments on the obligation.

The B rating category is also used for debt subordinated to senior
debt that is assigned an actual or implied BB or BB- rating.

CCC Debt rated CCC is vulnerable to nonpayment, and is dependent upon
favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the
obligor to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. In the
event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the
obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial
commitments on the obligation.

The CCC rating category is also used for debt subordinated to
senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied B or B- rating.

CC The rating CC typically is currently highly vulnerable to
nonpayment.

C The rating C typically is applied to debt subordinated to senior
debt which is assigned an actual or implied CCC- debt rating. The C
rating may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition
has been filed or similar action has been taken but payments on the
obligation are being continued.

D Debt rated D is in payment default. The D rating category is used
when payments are not made on the date due even if the applicable
grace period has not expired, unless S&P believes that such
payments will be made during such grace period. The D rating also
will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking
of similar action if payments on the obligation are jeopardized.

Provisional Ratings: The letter "p" indicates that the rating is
provisional. A provisional rating assumes the successful completion of the
project financed by the debt being rated and indicates that payment of debt
service requirements is largely or entirely dependent upon the successful
and timely completion of the project. This rating, however, while addressing
credit quality subsequent to completion of the project, makes no comment on
the likelihood of, or the risk of default upon failure of, such completion.
The investor should exercise judgment with respect to such likelihood and
risk.

Commercial Paper: Commercial paper rated A by Standard & Poor's
Corporation has the following characteristics: liquidity ratios are better
than the industry average; long-term senior debt rating is "A" or better
(however, in some cases a "BBB" long-term rating may be acceptable); the
issuer has access to at least two additional channels of borrowing; basic
earnings and cash flow have an upward trend with allowances made for unusual
circumstances. Also, the issuer's industry typically is well established,
the issuer has a strong position within its industry and the reliability and
quality of management is unquestioned. Issuers rated A are further referred
to by use of numbers 1, 2 and 3 to denote relative strength within this
classification.

Item 24. Persons Controlled by or under Common Control with Registrant

None.

Item 25. Indemnification

Under Article VI of the Registrant's Master Trust Agreement each
of its Trustees and officers or persons serving in such capacity with
another entity at the request of the Registrant ("Covered Person") shall be
indemnified against all liabilities, including, but not limited to, amounts
paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromises or as fines or penalties,
and expenses, including reasonable legal and accounting fees, in connection
with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding,
whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative or legislative
body, in which such Covered Person may be or may have been involved as a
party or otherwise or with which such Covered Person may be or may have been
threatened, while in office or thereafter, by reason of being or having been
such a Trustee or officer, director or trustee, except with respect to any
matter as to which it has been determined that such Covered Person had acted
with willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard
of the duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person's office (such
conduct referred to hereafter as "Disabling Conduct"). A determination that
the Covered Person is entitled to indemnification may be made by (i) a final
decision on the merits by a court or other body before which the proceeding
was brought that the person to be indemnified was not liable by reason of
Disabling Conduct, (ii) dismissal of a court action or an administrative
proceeding against a Covered Person for insufficiency of evidence of
Disabling Conduct, or (iii) a reasonable determination, based upon a review
of the facts, that the indemnitee was not liable by reason of Disabling
Conduct by (a) a vote of a majority of a quorum of Trustees who are neither
"interested persons" of the Registrant as defined in section 2(a)(19) of the
1940 Act nor parties to the proceeding, or (b) an independent legal counsel
in a written opinion.

Under the Distribution Agreement between the Registrant and
Lutheran Brotherhood Securities Corp., the Registrant's distributor, the
Registrant has agreed to indemnify, defend and hold Lutheran Brotherhood
Securities Corp., its officers, directors, employees and agents and any
person who controls Lutheran Brotherhood Securities Corp. free and harmless
from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability and expense incurred by
any of them arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of material fact, or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements made not misleading, in a
Registration Statement, the Prospectus or Statement of Additional
Information of the Registrant, or any amendment or supplement thereto,
unless such statement or omission was made in reliance upon written
information furnished by Lutheran Brotherhood Securities Corp.

Under the Amended and Restated Transfer Agent and Service
Agreement between the Registrant and Lutheran Brotherhood Securities Corp.,
the Registrant has agreed, provided that Lutheran Brotherhood Securities
Corp. has at all relevant times acted in good faith and without negligence
or willful misconduct, to indemnify and hold Lutheran Brotherhood Securities
Corp. harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, costs, charges,
attorneys fees, payments, expenses and liability arising out of or
attributable to (a) all actions of Lutheran Brotherhood Securities Corp. or
its agents or subcontractors required to be taken under the Transfer Agency
and Service Agreement or which arise out of the Registrant's lack of good
faith, negligence, or willful misconduct or the breach of any representation
or warranty of the Registrant under the Transfer Agency and Service
Agreement, (c) the reliance on or use by Lutheran Brotherhood Securities
Corp. or its agents or subcontractors of information, records or documents
which are furnished by or on behalf of Registrant, (d) the reliance on or
the carrying out by Lutheran Brotherhood Securities Corp. or its agents or
subcontractors of any instructions or requests by Registrant, or (e) the
offer or sale of shares of the Registrant unknown by Lutheran Brotherhood
Securities Corp. to be in violation of law.

Insofar as indemnification by the Registrant for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees,
officers, underwriters and controlling persons of the Registrant, pursuant
to Article VI of the Registrant's Master Trust Agreement, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the Registrant by such
trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the 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 of whether such indemnification by it
is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

advisory business since 1970. Lutheran Brotherhood, the indirect parent

Gentlemen:

As counsel to the Lutheran Brotherhood Family of Funds, a business trust
organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Trust"), I have been
asked to render an opinion in connection with Post-Effective Amendment No.
64 under the Securities Act of 1933 to the Registration Statement on Form N-
1A (Securities Act File No. 2-25984) to be filed by the Trust with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (as amended, the "Registration
Statement").

I wish to advise you that I have examined such documents and questions of
law as I have deemed necessary for purposes of this opinion. Based upon the
foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Trust has been duly organized and is validly existing pursuant to
the laws of the State of Delaware;

2. In its pre-effective Registration Statement, the Trust elected to
register an indefinite number of shares pursuant to the provision of Rule
24f-2; and

3. The shares of beneficial interest of the Funds which are described in
the foregoing Registration Statement will, when sold in accordance with the
terms of the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information in effect at
the time of the sale, be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable by
the Trust.

I consent to this opinion being filed as an exhibit to the foregoing
Registration Statement.

Sincerely,

/s/ John C. Bjork
John C. Bjork

THE LUTHERAN BROTHERHOOD FAMILY OF FUNDS

Multiple Class Expense Allocation Plan
Adopted Pursuant to Rule 18f-3
(As Amended on September 16, 1998)

WHEREAS, The Lutheran Brotherhood Family of Funds, an unincorporated
association of the type commonly known as a business trust organized under
the laws of the state of Delaware (the "Trust"), engages in business as an
open-end management investment company and is registered as such under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act");

WHEREAS, the Trust is authorized to (i) issues shares of beneficial
interest (the "Shares") in separate series, with the Shares of each such
series representing the interests in a separate portfolio of securities and
other assets, and (ii) divide the Shares within each such series into two or
more classes;

WHEREAS, the Trust has established the following portfolio series:
Lutheran Brotherhood Opportunity Growth Fund, Lutheran Brotherhood Mid Cap
Growth Fund, Lutheran Brotherhood World Growth Fund, Lutheran Brotherhood
Fund, Lutheran Brotherhood High Yield Fund, Lutheran Brotherhood Income
Fund, Lutheran Brotherhood Municipal Bond Fund and Lutheran Brotherhood
Money Market Fund (each series being referred to herein individually and
collectively as the "Initial Series" and each such series, together with all
other series subsequently established by the Trust and made subject to this
Plan, being referred to herein individually and collectively as a "Series"),
and each Initial Series has established (and future Series may establish)
three classes of Shares thereof designated as the "Class A" Shares, the
"Class B" Shares and the "Institutional Class" Shares; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees as a whole, and the Trustees who are not
interested persons of the Trust (as defined in the Act) (the "Qualified
Trustees"), having determined in the exercise of their reasonable business
judgment that this Plan is in the best interest of each class of each
Initial Series and of each Initial Series and the Trust as a whole, have
accordingly approved this Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Trust hereby adopts this Plan in accordance with
Rule 18f-3 under the Act, on the following terms and conditions:

1. CLASS DIFFERENCES. Each class of Shares of each Initial Series
shall represent interests in the same portfolio of investments of such
Initial Series and shall be identical in all respects, except that each
class shall differ with respect to: (i) distribution, shareholder and other
charges and expenses, as provided for in Sections 2 and 3 of this Plan; (ii)
the exclusive right of the Class B Shares to vote on certain matters
relating to the Plan of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the "Rule 12b-1
Plan") adopted by the Trust with respect to the Class B Shares; (iii) the
conversion features of the Class A and Class B Shares provided for in
Section 4 of this Plan; (iv) such other differences relating to eligible
investors as may be set forth in the prospectus and statement of additional
information of the Initial Series, as the same may be amended or
supplemented from time to time (respectively, the "Prospectus" and "SAI");
and (v) the designation of each class of Shares.

2. Differences in Sales Load, Distribution and Shareholder Services.
Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Institutional Class Shares of each
Initial Series shall differ in the manner in which such Shares are
distributed and in the services provided to shareholders of each such class
as follows:

(a) Sales Load and Distribution Fee.

(i) CLASS A SHARES. The Class A Shares (other than Class A
Shares of the Lutheran Brotherhood Money Market Fund) shall be
subject to a front-end sales charge as set forth in the Prospectus
and SAI. The Class A Shares shall not be subject to any
distribution fees under Rule 12b-1.

(ii) CLASS B SHARES. The Class B Shares shall be sold
subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") as set forth
in the Prospectus and SAI. Class B Shares (other than Class B
Shares of the Lutheran Brotherhood Money Market Fund) shall also be
subject to an annual fee pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act of up
to .75 of 1% of the average daily value of the net assets of the
Series allocable to the Class B Shares. Such fee may be used to
finance distribution activities in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under
the Act and the Rule 12b-1 Plan.

(iii) INSTITUTIONAL CLASS SHARES. The Institutional Class
Shares shall be sold without a sales charge and shall not be
subject to any distribution fees under Rule 12b-1.

(b) Shareholder Services. The Class A Shares shall be subject to
an annual fee pursuant to a Shareholder Servicing Plan with respect to the
Class A Shares of up to 0.25 of 1% of the average daily value of the net
assets of the Initial Series allocable to the Class A Shares. The Class B
Shares shall be subject to an annual fee pursuant to a Shareholder Servicing
Plan with respect to the Class B Shares of up to 0.25 of 1% of the average
daily value of the net assets of the Initial Series allocable to the Class B
Shares. Such fees may be used to finance shareholder servicing activities
for the applicable class of Shares in accordance with the Shareholder
Servicing Plan with respect to such class of Shares adopted by the Trust.
The Institutional Class Shares shall not be subject to any shareholder
servicing fee unless authorized and implemented hereafter by the Trustees
pursuant to an amendment to this Plan and the adoption of a shareholder
servicing plan with respect to the Institutional Class Shares.

3. Allocation of Expenses.

(a) Class Expenses. Expenses of the Series, other than the fees
set forth in Section 2 of this Plan, shall be allocated to each class on the
basis of the net asset value of that class in relation to the net asset
value of the Series. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) advisory fees,
custodial fees and other expenses relating to the management of the Fund's
assets ("Management-Related Expenses") shall be allocated to each class on
the basis of the net asset value of that class in relation to the net asset
value of the Series, (ii) expenses of the Institutional Class shares of each
Series (other than Management-Related Expenses) and fees set forth in
Section 2 of this Plan with respect to Institutional Class shares, if any,
shall be specially allocated to such class and (iii) the expenses of the
Class A and Class B shares of each series, other than Management-Related
Expenses and the fees set forth in Section 2 of this Plan with respect to
Class A and Class B shares, shall be allocated to each such class based on
the net asset value of such class in relation to the aggregate net asset
value of the Class A and Class B shares, such expense allocation to take
effect on such date as the Trust obtains a private letter ruling from the
Internal Revenue Service approving such allocation or such allocation on
advice of Trust counsel, is otherwise permissible under applicable law. The
underwriter, adviser, or other provider of services to a Series may waive or
reimburse the expenses of a specific class or classes to the extent
permitted under Rule 18f-3 under the Act.

(b) Certain Prohibited Allocations. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no expense shall be allocated to any particular class of a Series
and no waiver or reimbursement of the expenses of a specific class or
classes shall be permitted if such allocation, waiver or reimbursement would
cause such Series to fail to qualify as a regulated investment company under
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or adversely affect its right
to claim a dividend paid deduction thereunder.

4. Conversion Privileges.(1)

Class B Shares of each Series shall automatically convert to Class
A Shares of the same Series at the end of five years following the issuance
of such Class B Shares except that the holding period of Class B Shares of
the Lutheran Brotherhood Money Market Fund shall not be counted in
calculating such five-year period. All Class B Shares of such Series held
by the shareholder at the end of such period that represent the reinvestment
of dividends and capital gains distributions shall also be automatically
converted at such time. Class B shares of each Series shall convert into
Class A shares of the same Series on the basis of the relative net asset
value of the two classes, without the imposition of any sales load, fee or
other charge. In the event the holders of the Class A Shares approve any
increase in expenses allocated to the Class A Shares under paragraph (a)(i)
or (ii) of Rule 18f-3 without the approval of the holders of the Class B
Shares, the Trust shall establish a new class of shares into which the Class
B Shares will convert in accordance with the provisions of Rule 18f-3 under
the Act.

5. Exchange Privilege. Shares of a class of a Series may be exchanged
in the manner described in the Prospectus and SAI.(2)

6. Limitation of Liability of the Shareholders and Trustees. It is
expressly agreed that the obligations of the Trust hereunder shall not be
binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers, agents
or employees of the Trust personally, but shall bind only the trust property
of the Trust. The adoption of this Plan by the Trustees shall not be deemed
to have been made by any of them individually or to impose any liability on
any of the personally, but shall bind only the trust property of the Trust
as provided in the Trust's Master Trust Agreement.

7. Term and Termination.

(a) Initial Series. This Plan shall become effective with respect
to each Initial Series as of October 31, 1997, and shall continue in effect
with respect to each class of Shares of such Initial Series (subject to
Section 7(c) hereof) until terminated in accordance with the provisions of
Section 7(c) hereof.

(b) Additional Series or Classes. This Plan shall become
effective with respect to any class of each Initial Series other than the
Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Institutional Class shares and with
respect to each additional Series or class thereof established by the Trust
after the effective date hereof and made subject to this Plan upon
commencement of the initial public offering thereof (provided that the Plan
has previously been approved with respect to such additional series or class
by votes of a majority of both (i) the Board of Trustees of the Trust and
(ii) the Qualified Trustees, cast at a meeting held before the initial
public offering of such additional Series or classes thereof), and shall
continue in effect with respect to each such additional Series or class
(subject to Section 7(c) hereof) until terminated in accordance with the
provisions of Section 7(c) hereof. An addendum hereto setting forth such
specific and different terms of such additional series of classes shall be
attached to this Plan.

(c) Termination. This Plan may be terminated at any time with
respect to the Trust or any Series or class thereof, as the case may be, by
vote of a majority of both the Trustees of the Trust and the Qualified
Trustees. The Plan may remain in effect with respect to a Series or class
thereof even if this Plan has been terminated in accordance with this
Section 7(c) with respect to another class of such Series or one or more
other Series of the Trust.

8. Amendments. Any material amendment to this Plan shall require the
affirmative vote of a majority of both the Trustees of the Trust and the
Qualified Trustees.

Dated as of: September 16, 1998

(1) The automatic conversion with respect to Class A Shareholders no longer
eligible to hold Class A shares was deleted by action of the Board of
Trustees on September 16, 1998.

(2) The restriction that limited the exchange privilege to shares of the
same class was deleted by action of the Board of Trustees on September 16,
1998.
