In a Supplement to the Series' Prospectus dated August 30, 2000, shareholders

Director approval, to employ new subadvisers for the Series. In accordance with
that action, November 15, 2000, the Board of the Fund approved the selection of
Bank of Ireland Asset Management (U.S.) Limited ('BIAM') as investment adviser
to the Series, effective January 1, 2001. The Series' current investment
adviser, Mercator Asset Management, L.P., will terminate its services to the
Series at the close of business on December 31, 2000. The selection of BIAM as
the Series' new investment adviser is subject to shareholder approval at a
meeting that is expected to occur on or about January 31, 2001. There will be no
increase in the Series' management fee as a result of the appointment of a new
investment adviser.
