     SUPPLEMENT DATED JANUARY 6, 1997 TO PROSPECTUS DATED JULY
   29, 1996 OF GRADISON-MCDONALD ESTABLISHED VALUE FUND, GROWTH
    & INCOME FUND, OPPORTUNITY VALUE FUND, AND INTERNATIONAL
                            FUND
                              
The following paragraph is added to become the second
paragraph on page fourteen of the Prospectus:

     The International Fund (the "Fund") may buy call and
     put options on foreign currencies.  Buying a call gives
     the Fund the ability to buy the currency on which the
     call was written at the call price during the period in
     which the call may be exercised.  Buying a put gives
     the Fund the ability to sell the currency on which the
     call was written at the put price during the period in
     which the put may be exercised.  The Fund may buy put
     or call options on a currency irrespective of the size
     of the position it may hold in securities of that
     currency, if any.  The Fund may not purchase options on
     currency to the extent that the total premium cost
     exceeds 5% of the Fund's total assets.  The Fund may
     execute options transactions on recognized exchanges or
     in the over-the-counter markets.  The Fund's ability to
     terminate options in the over-the -counter markets may
     be more limited than for exchange-traded options
     because of the possible lack of a secondary trading
     market and may also involve the risk that securities
     dealers participating in such transactions would be
     unable to meet their obligations to the Fund.  The use
     of options involves certain special risks.  Options
     transactions involve costs and may result in losses.
     See, generally, "Risks of Futures and Foreign Currency
     Contracts" in the Prospectus.

This Supplement should be retained with the Prospectus.
