SUPPLEMENT DATED MARCH 31, 2000
PROSPECTUS DATED FEBRUARY 2, 2000
The following information supplements and, to the extent inconsistent therewith
supersedes, the Sections entitled 'Risk/Return Summary--Investment Objective and
Principal Strategies' and 'How the Fund Invests--Investment Objective and
Policies':
The Fund will invest its assets in at least three different countries,
without limit as to the amount of Fund assets that may be invested in any single
country.
The following information supplements and, to the extent inconsistent therewith
supersedes, the Section entitled 'Risk/Return Summary--Principal Risks':
Because the Fund may invest a large portion of its assets in a single country
or region of the world, the Fund's investments can be geographically
concentrated. This can result in more pronounced risks based upon economic
conditions that impact a single country or region more or less than other
countries or regions.
