ADVISERS MANAGEMENT TRUST

         Supplement to the Joint  Prospectus  dated May 1, 1998.


I. The section  "Investment  Programs - AMT Guardian  Investments" on page 20 of
the Joint Prospectus is revised by adding the following paragraph:

         For purposes of managing  cash flow,  the Series at times may invest in
financial  instruments,  the  return on which is  intended  to  approximate  the
performance of a recognized securities index, such as the S&P "500" Index. These
may include options and futures on securities indices,  options on such futures,
and instruments structured as investment companies.


II. The section "Description of Investments - Other Investment Companies" on 
page 46 of the Joint Prospectus is revised to read as follows:

DESCRIPTION OF INVESTMENTS

       Other Investment Companies.

         AMT  International  Investments  may  invest  in the  shares  of  other
investment  companies.  Such investment may be the most practical or only manner
in which the Series can  participate in certain  foreign  markets because of the
expenses involved or because other vehicles for investing in those countries may
not be  available  at the time the  Series is ready to make an  investment.  AMT
Guardian Investments at times may invest in instruments structured as investment
companies to gain exposure to the performance of a recognized  securities index,
such as the S&P "500" Index.

         As a shareholder in an investment  company, a Series would bear its pro
rata share of that investment company's expenses. Investment in other investment
companies  may involve the payment of  substantial  premiums  above the value of
such  issuers'  portfolio   securities.   AMT  International  and  AMT  Guardian
Investments do not intend to invest in such funds unless, in the judgment of N&B
Management, the potential benefits of such investment justify the payment of any
applicable premium or sales charge.

         Each Series'  investment in such securities is limited to (i) 3% of the
total voting stock of any one investment  company,  (ii) 5% of the Series' total
assets with respect to any one  investment  company and (iii) 10% of the Series'
total assets in the aggregate.

III.  The  paragraph   regarding  the  portfolio   management  of  AMT  Partners

Administrator,  Sub-Adviser  and  Distributor"  on page 36 is revised to read as
follows:

GUARDIAN PORTFOLIO

         Supplement  to the  Prospectus  dated May 1, 1998.

I. The section "Investment Program - AMT Guardian  Investments" on page 7 of the
Prospectus  is  revised  by adding  the  following  paragraphs  after the second
paragraph:

         For purposes of managing  cash flow,  the Series at times may invest in
financial  instruments,  the  return on which is  intended  to  approximate  the
performance of a recognized securities index, such as the S&P "500" Index. These
may include options and futures on securities indices,  options on such futures,
and instruments structured as investment companies.


II. The section  "Description of Investments"  beginning on page 19.
of the Prospectus is revised by adding the following:

       OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES.  AMT Guardian Investments at times may invest
       in instruments structured as investment companies to gain exposure to the
       performance  of a  recognized  securities  index,  such as the S&P  "500"
       Index.  

                  As a shareholder in an investment company, the Series would 
       bear its pro rata share of that investment company's expenses. Investment
       in other investment companies may  involve  the  payment  of  substantial
       premiums  above  the value of such  issuer's  portfolio  securities.  AMT
       Guardian  Investments does not intend to invest in such funds unless,  in
       the judgment of N&B Management, the potential benefits of such investment
       justify the payment of any applicable premium or sales charge.

                  The Series'  investment in such  securities is limited to (i)
       3% of the total voting stock of any one  investment  company,  (ii) 5% of
       the Series' total assets with respect to any one  investment  company and
       (iii) 10% of the Series' total assets in the aggregate.

       OPTIONS  AND  FUTURES ON  SECURITIES  INDICES,  OPTIONS ON  FUTURES.  AMT
       Guardian  Investments may use options and futures on securities  indices,
       and options on such futures, to increase its exposure to the broad equity
       markets.  Such contracts are often closed out prior to delivery date. The
       primary  risks in using  put and call  options,  futures  contracts,  and
       options on futures contracts ("Financial Instruments") are: (1) imperfect
       correlation  or no  correlation  between  changes in market  value of the
       securities  index  and  the  prices  of the  Financial  Instruments;  (2)
       possible lack of liquid  secondary  market for Financial  Instruments and
       the resulting inability to close them out when desired;  and (3) the fact
       that the use of Financial Instruments is highly specialized activity that
       involves skills,  techniques, and risks (including price volatility and a
       high degree of leverage)  different from those  associated with selection
       of portfolio  securities.  When AMT Guardian  Investments  uses Financial
       Instruments,  it will place cash or  appropriate  liquid  securities in a
       segregated  account or will "cover" its position,  to the extent required
       by SEC  staff  policy.  Another  risk  of  Financial  Instruments  is the
       possible  inability  of AMT  Guardian  Investments  to purchase or sell a
       security at a time that would  otherwise be favorable for it to do so, or
       the possible  need for AMT Guardian  Investments  to sell a security at a
       disadvantageous  time,  due to its need to maintain cover or to segregate
       securities in connection  with its use of Financial  Instruments.  Losses
       that  may  arise  from  certain  futures   transactions  are  potentially
       unlimited.

       The date of this Supplement is October 1, 1998.
