   SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND. Linda J. Intini has managed the Small Cap Equity 
   Fund since February 1997. Ms. Intini has over nine years of experience
   specializing in the management of small cap equities, including over $300
   million of Citibank's small cap portfolios for trusts and individuals. Prior
   to joining Citibank, she was a Portfolio Manager and Research Analyst with
   Manufacturers Hanover in the Special Equity area. She also specialized in
   equity research at Eberstadt Fleming.


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


The section entitled "Futures Contracts" appearing in the "Appendix - Permitted
Investments And Investment Practices" on pages 26 and 27 of the Prospectus is
replaced with the following:

      FUTURES CONTRACTS. The Balanced Fund may use financial futures in order
   to protect the Fund from fluctuations in interest rates (sometimes called
   "hedging") without actually buying or selling debt securities, or to manage
   the effective maturity or duration of fixed income securities in the Fund's
   portfolio in an effort to reduce potential losses or enhance potential gain.
   Each of the Funds may purchase stock index futures in order to protect
   against declines in the value of portfolio securities or increases in the
   cost of securities or other assets to be acquired and, subject to applicable
   law, to enhance potential gain. Futures contracts provide for the future
   sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a
   security at a specified future time and price, or for making payment of a
   cash settlement based on changes in the value of a security, an index of
   securities or other assets. In many cases, the futures contracts that may be
   purchased by the Funds are standardized contracts traded on commodities
   exchanges or boards of trade. Because the value of a futures contract
   changes based on the price of the underlying security or other asset,
   futures contracts are commonly referred to as "derivatives." Futures
   contracts are a generally accepted part of modern portfolio management and
   are regularly utilized by many mutual funds and other institutional
   investors.

      When a Fund purchases or sells a futures contract, it is required to make
   an initial margin deposit. Although the amount may vary, initial margin can
   be as low as 1% or less of the face amount of the contract. Additional

<PAGE>

   margin may be required as the contract fluctuates in value. Since the amount
   of margin is relatively small compared to the value of the securities
   covered by a futures contract, the potential for gain or loss on a futures
   contract is much greater than the amount of a Fund's initial margin deposit.
   None of the Funds currently intends to enter into a futures contract if, as
   a result, the initial margin deposits on all of that Fund's futures
   contracts would exceed approximately 5% of the Fund's net assets. Also, each
   Fund intends to limit its futures contracts so that the value of the
   securities covered by its futures contracts would not generally exceed 50%
   of the market value of the Fund's total assets other than its futures
   contracts and to segregate sufficient assets to meet its obligations under
   outstanding futures contracts.

      The ability of a Fund to utilize futures contracts successfully will
   depend on the Adviser's ability to predict interest rate or stock price
   movements, which cannot be assured. In addition to general risks associated
   with any investment, the use of futures contracts entails the risk that, to
   the extent the Adviser's view as to interest rate or stock price movements
   is incorrect, the use of futures contracts, even for hedging purposes, could
   result in losses greater than if they had not been used. This could happen,
   for example, if there is a poor correlation between price movements of
   futures contracts and price movements in a Fund's related portfolio
   position. Also, the futures markets may not be liquid in all circumstances.
   As a result, in certain markets, a Fund might not be able to close out a
   transaction without incurring substantial losses, if at all. When futures
   contracts are used for hedging, even if they are successful in minimizing
   the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged position, at
   the same time they limit any potential gain which might result from an
   increase in value of such position. As noted, each Fund may also enter into
   transactions in futures contracts for other than hedging purposes (subject
   to applicable law), including speculative transactions, which involve
   greater risk. In particular, in entering into such transactions, a Fund may
   experience losses which are not offset by gains on other portfolio
   positions, thereby reducing its gross income. In addition, the markets for
   such instruments may be extremely volatile from time to time, which could
   increase the risks incurred by the Fund in entering into such transactions.

      The use of futures contracts potentially exposes a Fund to the effects of
   "leveraging," which occurs when futures are used so that the Fund's exposure
   to the market is greater than it would have been if the Fund had invested
   directly in the underlying securities. "Leveraging" increases a Fund's
   potential for both gain and loss. As noted above, each of the Funds intends
   to adhere to certain policies relating to the use of futures contracts,
   which should have the effect of limiting the amount of leverage by the Fund.
   The use of futures contracts may increase the amount of taxable income of a
   Fund and may affect in other ways the amount, timing and character of a
   Fund's income for tax purposes, as more fully discussed in the section
   entitled "Certain Additional Tax Matters" in the Statement of Additional
   Information.

      The use of futures by the Funds and some of their risks are described
   more fully in the Statement of Additional Information.

                                                 File Nos. 2-90518 and 811-4006

             SUPPLEMENT DATED FEBRUARY 24, 1997 TO PROSPECTUS DATED
                                JANUARY 2, 1997

                             CITISELECTSM FOLIO 200
                             CITISELECTSM FOLIO 300

                             CITISELECTSM FOLIO 500

The Example contained in the "Expense Summary" section on page 4 of the
Prospectus is replaced with the following:

EXAMPLE: A shareholder would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment,
assuming redemption at the end of each period indicted below:


                                        ONE YEAR  THREE YEARS
- -------------------------------------------------------------

CITISELECT FOLIO 200.................      $15      $47

CITISELECT FOLIO 300.................      $15      $47

CITISELECT FOLIO 400.................      $18      $55

CITISELECT FOLIO 500.................      $18      $55

The Example assumes a 5% annual return and that all dividends are reinvested
and reflects certain voluntary expense reimbursements. If expense
reimbursements were not made, the amounts in the example would be $24 and $72
for CitiSelect Folio 200, $24 and $73 for CitiSelect Folio 300, $33 and $100
for CitiSelect Folio 400 and $34 and $104 for CitiSelect Folio 500. Expenses
are estimated because the Funds are newly organized. The assumption of a 5%
annual return is required by the Securities and Exchange Commission for all
mutual funds, and is not a prediction of any Fund's future performance. THE
EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES OR
RETURNS OF ANY FUND. ACTUAL EXPENSES AND RETURNS MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN
THOSE SHOWN.
