                              PROSPECTUS SUMMARY


    See the body of the Prospectus for more  information on the topics discussed
in this summary.

THE FUNDS: This Prospectus describes three mutual funds: Landmark Balanced Fund,
Landmark  Equity Fund, and Landmark Small Cap Equity Fund. Each Fund has its own
investment objectives and policies. There can be no assurance that any Fund will
achieve its  objectives.  Because  each Fund invests  through a  Portfolio,  all
references in this Prospectus to any Fund include its  corresponding  Portfolio,
except as otherwise noted.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES:
LANDMARK  BALANCED  FUND.  To earn high  current  income by investing in a broad
range of securities,  to preserve capital,  and to provide growth potential with
reduced  risk.  Through  Balanced  Portfolio,  the  Fund  invests  in a  broadly
diversified  portfolio  of  income-producing  securities,  including  common and
preferred stocks and bonds. In selecting  common stocks for Balanced  Portfolio,
the Adviser emphasizes securities issued by established companies with medium to
large  market  capitalizations,   i.e.,  $750  million  or  more,  and  seasoned
management teams ("Established Companies").

LANDMARK EQUITY FUND.  Long-term  capital growth;  dividend  income,  if any, is
incidental to this  investment  objective.  Through Equity  Portfolio,  the Fund
invests  primarily  in  common  stocks  of U.S.  issuers,  with an  emphasis  on
Established Companies.

LANDMARK SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND.  Long-term  capital growth;  dividend income, if
any,  is  incidental  to this  investment  objective.  Through  Small Cap Equity
Portfolio,  the Fund invests primarily in stocks of U.S. issuers that have small
market  capitalizations  (i.e.,  $750 million or less). In this Prospectus these
companies are called "small cap companies." In addition,  the Fund may invest in
companies that are believed to be emerging companies relative to their potential
markets.


INVESTMENT  ADVISER  AND  DISTRIBUTOR:   Citibank,   N.A.,  ("Citibank"  or  the
"Adviser") a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Citicorp,  is the  investment  adviser.
Citibank and its  affiliates  manage more than $73 billion in assets  worldwide.
The Landmark Funds Broker-Dealer  Services, Inc. ("LFBDS") is the distributor of
shares of each Fund (the "Distributor"). See "Management."

PURCHASES  AND  REDEMPTIONS:  Customers  of  Shareholder  Servicing  Agents  may
purchase and redeem shares of the Funds on any Business Day. See "Purchases" and
"Redemptions."

PRICING:  Investors may select Class A or Class B shares, with different expense
levels  and sales  charges  (if made  available  by the  investors'  Shareholder
Servicing  Agents).  See "Classes of Shares,"  "Purchases"  and  "Management  --
Distribution Arrangements."

CLASS A SHARES.  Offered at net asset value plus any  applicable  initial  sales
charge  (maximum  of  4.75% of the  public  offering  price)  and  subject  to a
distribution  fee at the annual  rate of 0.05% of the  average  daily net assets
represented  by the  Class A shares.  Purchases  of $1  million  or more are not
subject to an  initial  sales  charge,  but are  subject  to a 1.00%  contingent
deferred  sales  charge in the  event of  certain  redemptions  within 12 months
following purchase.

    The sales charge on Class A shares may be reduced or eliminated  through the
following programs:
    Letter of Intent
    Right of Accumulation
    Reinstatement Privilege
See "Purchases" and "Redemptions."

CLASS B SHARES.  Offered at net asset value (a maximum contingent deferred sales
charge of 5.00% of the lesser of the shares' net asset  value at  redemption  or
their original purchase price is imposed on certain  redemptions made within six
years of the date of purchase) and subject to a  distribution  fee at the annual
rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets  represented by the Class B shares
and a service fee at the annual  rate of 0.05% of the  average  daily net assets
represented by Class B shares. Class B shares automatically convert into Class A
shares (which have a lower  distribution  fee)  approximately  eight years after
purchase.

EXCHANGES: Shares may be exchanged for shares of the corresponding class of most
other Landmark Funds. See "Exchanges."

DIVIDENDS:  Dividends  are declared and paid  quarterly  for the Balanced  Fund.
Dividends,  if any, are declared and paid  semi-annually for the Equity Fund and
the Small Cap Equity Fund (together,  the "Equity Funds"). Net capital gains are
distributed annually. See "Dividends and Distributions."

REINVESTMENT:  All  dividends and capital  gains  distributions  may be received
either in cash or in Fund shares of the same class at net asset  value,  subject
to the policies of a shareholder's  Shareholder  Servicing Agent. See "Dividends
and Distributions."

WHO SHOULD INVEST:  Each Fund has its own  suitability  considerations  and risk
factors,  as  summarized  below and  described  in more  detail  in  "Investment
Information" and "Risk  Considerations." No single Fund is intended to provide a
complete investment program.

BALANCED FUND. Investing in a broadly diversified  portfolio of income-producing
securities,  the Fund is designed for investors seeking high current income with
preservation of capital, and growth potential with reduced risk.

EQUITY FUNDS.  Investing  primarily in common stock of U.S. issuers,  the Equity
Funds are designed for investors  seeking  long-term capital growth and for whom
current income is not a primary consideration. The Equity Funds are designed for
long-term  investors  who are  willing  to accept  the risks of  potential  loss
associated  with  opportunities  for  above-average  growth,  who  can  tolerate
substantial  changes  in the value of their  investment  and who do not  require
current income from their investment.

RISK  FACTORS:  There  can be no  assurance  that  any  Fund  will  achieve  its
investment  objectives,  and each Fund's net asset value will fluctuate based on
changes in the values of the underlying portfolio securities.  Equity securities
fluctuate  in value  based on many  factors,  including  actual and  anticipated
earnings,  changes in management,  political and economic  developments  and the
potential for takeovers and acquisitions. The value of debt securities generally
fluctuates  based on changes in the actual  and  perceived  creditworthiness  of
issuers.  Also, the value of debt  securities  generally goes down when interest
rates go up, and vice versa. As a result, an investor's shares may be worth more
or less at redemption than at the time of purchase.

    Investors in the Funds,  particularly  the Small Cap Equity Fund,  should be
aware that the  securities of companies  with small market  capitalizations  may
have more risks than the securities of other companies.  Small cap companies may
be more  susceptible  to market  downturns  or  setbacks  because  they may have
limited  product  lines,  markets,  distribution  channels,  and  financial  and
management   resources.   Further,   there  is  often  less  publicly  available
information about small cap companies than about more established companies.  As
a result of these and other  factors,  the prices of securities  issued by small
cap companies may be volatile. Shares of the Funds, therefore, may be subject to
greater  fluctuation in value than shares of an equity fund investing  primarily
in securities of larger more established companies.

     Each Fund may invest a portion of its assets in  non-U.S.  securities.  The
special  risks of  investing in non-U.S.  securities  include  possible  adverse
political,  social and economic  developments abroad,  differing  regulations to
which  non-U.S.  issuers are subject and different  characteristics  of non-U.S.
economies and markets.  The Funds' non-U.S.  securities often will trade in non-
U.S.  currencies,  which can be  volatile  and may be  subject  to  governmental
controls or  intervention.  In addition,  securities of non-U.S.  issuers may be
less  liquid  and their  prices  more  volatile  than those of  comparable  U.S.
issuers.  Each Fund may invest in securities of issuers in developing countries,
and all of these risks are  increased for  investments  in issuers in developing
countries.

    Certain investment practices,  such as the use of forward non-U.S.  currency
exchange contracts,  also may entail special risks.  Investors should read "Risk
Considerations" for more information about risk factors.

                           EXPENSE SUMMARY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following  table  summarizes  estimated  shareholder  transaction and annual
operating  expenses for Class A and B shares of each Fund. Each Fund invests all
of its investable  assets in its  corresponding  Portfolio.  The Trustees of the
Funds  believe  the  aggregate  per  share  expenses  of  the  Funds  and  their
corresponding  Portfolios  will  be  less  than or  approximately  equal  to the
expenses  that the Funds would incur if their assets were  invested  directly in
the  types  of  securities  held by  their  corresponding  Portfolios.  For more
information  on costs and  expenses,  see  "Management"  -- page 18 and "General
Information -- Expenses" -- page 23.*

     Association  of  Securities  Dealers,  Inc.  The figures for Class B shares

</TABLE>

*This table is intended to assist investors in  understanding  the various costs
 and  expenses  that a  shareholder  of a Fund will  bear,  either  directly  or
 indirectly.  Because  Class B shares  were not  offered  during the most recent
 fiscal year of the Balanced  Fund and Equity Fund and the Small Cap Equity Fund
 is newly organized, Other Operating Expenses in the table with respect to Class
 B shares of the Balanced Fund and Equity Fund,  and all shares of the Small Cap
 Equity Fund, are based on estimated  amounts for the current fiscal year. There
 can be no assurance  that the fee waivers  reflected in the table will continue
 at their present levels.

More  complete  descriptions  of the  following  expenses  of the  Funds and the
Portfolios are set forth on the following pages: (i) investment  management fees
- -- page 19, (ii) distribution and service fees -- page 21, (iii)  administrative
services fees -- page 20, and (iv) shareholder servicing agent fees -- page 20.

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

                                ONE YEAR   THREE YEARS   FIVE YEARS   TEN YEARS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BALANCED FUND
  Class A shares(1) ........     $57         $ 78         $101         $166
  Class B shares:
    Assuming complete            
     redemption at end of
     period(2)(3) ..........     $68          $ 86         $116        $188
    Assuming no                 
     redemption(3)  ........     $18          $ 56         $ 96        $188
              
EQUITY FUND
  Class A shares(1) ........     $58          $ 79         $103        $170
  Class B shares:
    Assuming complete            
     redemption at end of
     period(2)(3) ..........     $68          $ 87         $117        $192
    Assuming no                  
     redemption(3) .........     $18          $ 57         $ 97        $192
                            
SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND
  Class A shares(1) ........     $62          $ 93
  Class B shares:
    Assuming complete            
      redemption at end of
      period(2) .............    $73          $100
    Assuming no    
      redemption ............    $23          $ 70

(1) Assumes  deduction at the time of purchase of the maximum  4.75% sales load.
(2) Assumes  deduction  at the  time of  redemption  of the  maximum  applicable
    contingent deferred sales charge.
(3) Ten-year  figures  assume  conversion  of Class B  shares  to Class A shares
    approximately eight years after purchase.

The Example  assumes that all  dividends  are  reinvested  and reflects  certain
voluntary fee waivers.  If waivers were not in place, the amounts in the example
would be $59,  $84,  $111 and $188 for Balanced  Fund -- Class A; $72, $96, $134
and $222 for Balanced Fund -- Class B (assuming  complete  redemption at the end
of each period);  $60, $88, $117 and $201 for Equity Fund -- Class A; $73, $100,
$140 and $234 for Equity Fund -- Class B (assuming  complete  redemption  at the
end of each  period);  $64 and $99 for Small Cap Equity  Fund -- Class A and $76
and $111 for Small Cap Equity Fund -- Class B (assuming  complete  redemption at
the end of each period).  For the Class A shares of the Balanced Fund and Equity
Fund expenses are based on each Fund's fiscal year ended  December 31, 1994, and
for the Class A shares of the Small Cap Equity Fund expenses are estimated since
this Fund had no assets during its fiscal year ended December 31, 1994. Expenses
for Class B shares are estimated, because Class B shares were not offered during
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994. 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  OF ANY FUND.  ACTUAL
EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.

CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following tables provide condensed financial  information about the Balanced
Fund and the Equity Fund for the periods indicated. The Small Cap Equity Fund is
newly  organized  and  therefore  has  not  issued  financial  statements.   The
information  below should be read in  conjunction with the financial  statements
appearing in the Annual  Reports to  Shareholders  of the Balanced  Fund and the
Equity Fund,  which are incorporated by reference in the Statement of Additional
Information.  The financial  statements and notes,  as well as the tables below,
have been audited by Price Waterhouse LLP (for the year ended December 31, 1994)
and  Deloitte & Touche LLP (for  periods  prior to the year ended  December  31,
1994), independent certified public accountants.  The report of Price Waterhouse
LLP is included in each Fund's Annual  Report.  Copies of the Annual Reports may
be obtained without charge from an investor's  Shareholder  Servicing Agent (see
inside of back cover for address and phone number).

                            INVESTMENT INFORMATION
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES: The investment objectives of the BALANCED FUND are to
earn high  current  income  by  investing  in a broad  range of  securities,  to
preserve capital, and to provide growth potential with reduced risk.

    The  investment  objective  of the EQUITY FUND and the SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND
(together,  the "Equity Funds") is long-term capital growth. Dividend income, if
any, is incidental to this investment objective.

    The  investment  objectives  of each  Fund may be  changed  by its  Trustees
without approval by that Fund's  shareholders,  but  shareholders  will be given
written  notice at least 30 days  before any change is  implemented.  Of course,
there can be no assurance that any Fund will achieve its investment objectives.

INVESTMENT POLICIES: The BALANCED FUND seeks its objectives by investing,  under
normal  circumstances,  in a broadly  diversified  portfolio of income-producing
securities,   including  common  and  preferred  stocks,  bonds  and  short-term
obligations. Under normal circumstances, at least 25% of the Fund's total assets
is invested  in fixed  income  securities.  The  Adviser  determines  the mix of
investments  among equity and fixed income  securities  based on its analysis of
current economic and market conditions and underlying securities values.

    The Adviser selects equity securities that, in the Adviser's judgment, offer
the prospect for above-average  growth. Equity securities include common stocks,
preferred  stocks and warrants for the  purchase of stock.  In selecting  common
stocks the Adviser  emphasizes  securities issued by established  companies with
medium to large market capitalizations, i.e., $750 million or more, and seasoned
management teams ("Established Companies").  The Fund's fixed income investments
include  corporate  bonds  and  notes,   preferred   securities  and  government
obligations.  All of the Fund's long-term  non-convertible  debt investments are
investment grade securities (rated Baa or better by Moody's  Investors  Service,
Inc. ("Moody's") or BBB or better by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P")) or
unrated securities which the Adviser believes to be of comparable quality.  Less
than 5% of the  Portfolio's  investments  consist  of  securities  rated  Baa by
Moody's  or BBB by S&P.  Securities  with  these  ratings  may have  speculative
characteristics.

    The EQUITY FUND seeks its  objective by  investing in a broadly  diversified
portfolio  of equity  securities  consisting  mainly  of  common  stocks of U.S.
issuers. Under normal circumstances,  at least 65% of the Fund's total assets is
invested in equity securities.

    In selecting equity securities the Adviser  emphasizes  securities issued by
Established Companies which the Adviser believes possess above-average prospects
for  growth.  The Adviser may also  select  other  securities  which it believes
provide an opportunity  for  appreciation,  such as fixed income  securities and
convertible and non-convertible bonds, preferred stocks and warrants. All of the
Fund's   long-term   non-convertible   debt  investments  are  investment  grade
securities or unrated  securities which the Adviser believes to be of comparable
quality.  Less than 5% of the Fund's investments consist of securities rated Baa
by Moody's or BBB by S&P.

    The SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND seeks its  objective by investing in a diversified
portfolio  consisting primarily of equity securities of U.S. companies that have
small market  capitalizations.  Under normal circumstances,  at least 65% of the
Fund's total assets is invested in equity  securities of these companies.  Small
market  capitalization  companies are those with market  capitalizations of $750
million or less at the time of the Fund's investment.  In addition, the Fund may
invest in companies that are believed to be emerging companies relative to their
potential markets.

    The Adviser may also select other  securities  for the Fund that it believes
provide an opportunity  for  appreciation,  such as fixed income  securities and
convertible   and   non-convertible   bonds.   Most  of  the  Fund's   long-term
non-convertible debt investments are investment grade securities,  and less than
5% of the Fund's  investments  consist of securities rated Baa by Moody's or BBB
by S&P.

CERTAIN ADDITIONAL  INVESTMENT POLICIES:  NON-U.S.  SECURITIES.  While the Funds
emphasize  U.S.  securities,  each Fund may  invest a portion  of its  assets in
non-U.S. equity and debt securities,  including depository receipts. None of the
Funds  intends  to invest  more than 25% of its assets in  non-U.S.  securities,
including sponsored American Depositary  Receipts,  which represent the right to
receive  securities  of non-U.S.  issuers  deposited in a U.S. or  correspondent
bank.  Each Fund may  invest up to 5% of its  assets  in  closed-end  investment
companies which primarily hold non-U.S. securities.

    TEMPORARY  INVESTMENTS.   During  periods  of  unusual  economic  or  market
conditions  or for  temporary  defensive  purposes or  liquidity,  each Fund may
invest without limit in cash and in U.S.  dollar-denominated  high quality money
market and short-term instruments. These investments may result in a lower yield
than would be available from investments with a lower quality or longer term.

    OTHER  PERMITTED  INVESTMENTS.  For more  information  regarding  the Funds'
permitted  investments and investment  practices,  see the Appendix -- Permitted
Investments and Investment  Practices on page 24. The Funds will not necessarily
invest or engage in each of the  investments  and  investment  practices  in the
Appendix but reserve the right to do so.

    INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS.  The Statement of Additional Information contains a
list of specific investment restrictions which govern the investment policies of
the Funds,  including a limitation that each Fund may borrow money from banks in
an amount not to exceed 33 1/3% of the Fund's  net assets for  extraordinary  or
emergency  purposes  (e.g.,  to meet  redemption  requests).  Certain  of  these
specific restrictions may not be changed without shareholder approval. Except as
otherwise  indicated,  the Funds'  investment  objectives  and  policies  may be
changed  without  shareholder  approval.  If a percentage or rating  restriction
(other  than a  restriction  as to  borrowing)  is  adhered  to at the  time  an
investment  is made,  a later  change in  percentage  or rating  resulting  from
changes in a Fund's securities will not be a violation of policy.

    PORTFOLIO  TURNOVER.  Securities  of each  Fund  will be sold  whenever  the
Adviser  believes it is appropriate  to do so in light of the Fund's  investment
objectives,  without regard to the length of time a particular security may have
been held.  The turnover  rate for the common stock portion of the Balanced Fund
is  expected  to be  approximately  100%  annually;  for the  fiscal  year ended
December 31, 1993, the turnover rate for the entire  Balanced Fund was 101%; for
the period  January 1, 1994 to April 30, 1994,  the turnover rate for the entire
Balanced  Fund was 29% and for the period May 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994,  the
turnover rate for the entire Balanced  Portfolio was 105%. The turnover rate for
the Equity Fund is not  expected to exceed  100%  annually;  for the fiscal year
ended  December 31, 1993,  this rate was 23%; for the period  January 1, 1994 to
April 30, 1994 the  turnover  rate for the Equity Fund was 1% and for the period
May 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994 the turnover rate for the Equity  Portfolio was
35%. The  turnover  rate for the Small Cap Equity Fund is not expected to exceed
200% annually.  The amount of brokerage  commissions  and realization of taxable
capital  gains  will  tend  to  increase  as the  level  of  portfolio  activity
increases.

    BROKERAGE  TRANSACTIONS.  The primary  consideration  in placing each Fund's
security  transactions  with  broker-dealers  for  execution  is to  obtain  and
maintain the  availability of execution at the most favorable  prices and in the
most effective manner possible.

                             RISK CONSIDERATIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The risks of investing in each Fund vary depending upon the nature of the
securities held, and the investment practices employed, on its behalf. Certain
of these risks are described below.

    CHANGES IN NET ASSET VALUE. Each Fund's net asset value will fluctuate based
on changes in the values of the underlying portfolio securities. This means that
an investor's shares may be worth more or less at redemption than at the time of
purchase. Equity securities fluctuate in response to general market and economic
conditions and other factors, including actual and anticipated earnings, changes
in  management,  political  developments  and the  potential  for  takeovers and
acquisitions.  During  periods  of  rising  interest  rates  the  value  of debt
securities generally declines,  and during periods of falling rates the value of
these securities generally  increases.  Changes by recognized rating agencies in
the rating of any debt security,  and actual or perceived changes in an issuer's
ability to make principal or interest  payments,  also affect the value of these
investments.

    CREDIT RISK OF DEBT  SECURITIES.  Investors  should be aware that securities
offering  above  average  yields  may at  times  involve  above  average  risks.
Securities rated Baa by Moody's or BBB by S&P and equivalent  unrated securities
may have speculative characteristics. Adverse economic or changing circumstances
are more likely to lead to a weakened  capacity to make  principal  and interest
payments than is the case for higher grade obligations.

    SMALL CAP  COMPANIES.  Investors  in the Funds,  particularly  the Small Cap
Equity Fund,  should be aware that the securities of companies with small market
capitalizations  may have more risks  than the  securities  of other  companies.
Small cap  companies  may be more  susceptible  to market  downturns or setbacks
because they may have limited product lines, markets, distribution channels, and
financial  and  management  resources.  Further,  there is often  less  publicly
available  information  about small cap  companies  than about more  established
companies.  As a result of these and other  factors,  the  prices of  securities
issued by small cap companies may be volatile.  Shares of the Funds,  therefore,
may be subject to greater  fluctuation  in value than  shares of an equity  fund
investing primarily in securities of larger, more established companies.

    NON-U.S.  SECURITIES.  Investments  in  non-U.S.  securities  involve  risks
relating to political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as risks
resulting  from the  differences  between  the  regulations  to which  U.S.  and
non-U.S. issuers and markets are subject. These risks may include expropriation,
confiscatory taxation,  withholding taxes on dividends and interest, limitations
on the use or transfer of portfolio assets and political or social  instability.
Enforcing legal rights may be difficult,  costly and slow in non-U.S. countries,
and there may be special problems enforcing claims against non-U.S. governments.
In addition,  non-U.S.  companies may not be subject to accounting  standards or
governmental  supervision  comparable to U.S.  companies,  and there may be less
public information about their operations.  Non-U.S.  markets may be less liquid
and more volatile than U.S. markets,  and may offer less protection to investors
such as the Funds.

    Because  non-U.S.  securities often are denominated in currencies other than
the U.S.  dollar,  changes in currency  exchange  rates will affect a Fund's net
asset  value,  the value of dividends  and interest  earned and gains and losses
realized on the sale of securities.  In addition, some non-U.S.  currency values
may be  volatile  and  there is the  possibility  of  governmental  controls  on
currency exchanges or governmental intervention in currency markets.

    The  costs  attributable  to  non-U.S.  investing,  such  as  the  costs  of
maintaining custody of securities in non-U.S.  countries,  frequently are higher
than those  attributable to U.S.  investing.  As a result, the operating expense
ratios of the Funds may be higher than those of investment  companies  investing
exclusively in U.S. securities.

    Each Fund may invest in securities of issuers in developing  countries,  and
all of these  risks are  increased  for  investments  in issuers  in  developing
countries.

    INVESTMENT  PRACTICES.  Certain of the investment practices employed for the
Funds may entail certain risks.  See the Appendix -- Permitted  Investments  and
Investment Practices on page 24.

SPECIAL INFORMATION  CONCERNING INVESTMENT STRUCTURE:  Unlike other mutual funds
which directly  acquire and manage their own portfolio  securities,  each of the
Funds seeks its investment  objectives by investing all of its investable assets
in its corresponding  Portfolio,  a registered  investment company.  Each of the
Portfolios has the same investment  objectives and policies as its corresponding
Fund.  In addition to selling a beneficial  interest to a Fund, a Portfolio  may
sell beneficial interests to other mutual funds, collective investment vehicles,
or institutional  investors.  Such investors will invest in the Portfolio on the
same terms and conditions and will pay a proportionate  share of the Portfolio's
expenses.  However,  the other  investors  investing  in the  Portfolio  are not
required to sell their shares at the same public  offering price as the Fund due
to variations in sales  commissions  and other  operating  expenses.  Therefore,
investors  in a Fund  should  be aware  that  these  differences  may  result in
differences  in returns  experienced  by investors in the  different  funds that
invest in that Portfolio.  Such differences in returns are also present in other
mutual fund structures. Information concerning other holders of interests in the
Portfolios is available from the Funds'  distributor,  LFBDS, at the address and
telephone number indicated on the back cover of this Prospectus.

    The investment objective of each of the Funds may be changed by its Trustees
without the approval of the Fund's shareholders,  but shareholders will be given
written notice at least 30 days before any change is implemented.  If there is a
change in a Fund's investment  objective,  shareholders  should consider whether
the Fund  remains  an  appropriate  investment  in light of their  then  current
financial  positions  and  needs.  The  investment  objective  of  each  of  the
Portfolios  may also be changed  without the  approval of the  investors  in the
Portfolio,  but not  without  written  notice  thereof to the  investors  in the
Portfolio  (and,  if a Fund is then  invested in the  Portfolio,  notice to Fund
shareholders) at least 30 days prior to implementing  the change.  There can, of
course,  be no assurance that the  investment  objective of either a Fund or its
Portfolio will be achieved. See "Investment Objective, Policies and Restrictions
- - Investment  Restrictions"  in the  Statement of Additional  Information  for a
description  of the  fundamental  policies of each Fund and its  Portfolio  that
cannot  be  changed  without  approval  by the  holders  of a  "majority  of the
outstanding voting securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940
(the "1940  Act")) of the Fund or  Portfolio.  Except as stated  otherwise,  all
investment  guidelines,  policies and  restrictions  described herein and in the
Statement of Additional Information are non-fundamental.

    Certain  changes  in  a  Portfolio's  investment  objectives,   policies  or
restrictions  or a failure by a Fund's  shareholders  to approve a change in the
Portfolio's  investment  objectives or restrictions,  may preclude the Fund from
investing its investable assets in the Portfolio or require the Fund to withdraw
its interest in the Portfolio.  Any such withdrawal could result in an "in kind"
distribution  of  securities  (as  opposed  to a  cash  distribution)  from  the
Portfolio  which  may or may  not  be  readily  marketable.  If  securities  are
distributed,  the Fund could incur brokerage, tax or other charges in converting
the securities to cash. The in kind distribution may result in the Fund having a
less  diversified  portfolio of investments or adversely affect the liquidity of
the  Fund.  Notwithstanding  the  above,  there  are  other  means  for  meeting
shareholder redemption requests,  such as borrowing.  The absence of substantial
experience  with this  investment  structure  could have an adverse effect on an
investment in the Funds.

    Smaller funds  investing in a Portfolio  may be  materially  affected by the
actions of larger funds investing in the Portfolio. For example, if a large fund
withdraws from the Portfolio,  the remaining funds may  subsequently  experience
higher  pro  rata  operating   expenses,   thereby   producing   lower  returns.
Additionally,  because the Portfolio  would become  smaller,  it may become less
diversified, resulting in increased portfolio risk; however, these possibilities
exist for  traditionally  structured  funds  which have  large or  institutional
investors  who may  withdraw  from a fund.  Also,  funds with a greater pro rata
ownership in the Portfolio could have effective voting control of the operations
of the  Portfolio.  If a Fund is requested to vote on matters  pertaining to its
Portfolio  (other  than a vote by the  Fund to  continue  the  operation  of the
Portfolio upon the withdrawal of another  investor in the  Portfolio),  the Fund
will  hold  a  meeting  of its  shareholders  and  will  cast  all of its  votes
proportionately  as  instructed  by its  shareholders  who vote at the  meeting.
Shareholders  of the Fund who do not vote will have no effect on the  outcome of
such matters.

    Each of the Funds may  withdraw  its  investment  from its  Portfolio at any
time, if the Fund's Board of Trustees determines that it is in the best interest
of the Fund to do so.  Upon any such  withdrawal,  the Board of  Trustees  would
consider  what action might be taken,  including  the  investment  of all of the
investable  assets of the Fund in another  pooled  investment  entity having the
same investment  objective as the Fund or the retaining of an investment adviser
to manage the Fund's assets in accordance with the investment policies described
above.  In the event  the  Fund's  Trustees  were  unable  to find a  substitute
investment company in which to invest the Fund's assets or were unable to secure
directly the services of an investment adviser, the Trustees would determine the
best course of action.

page 18. For  descriptions of the expenses of the Portfolios,  see  "Management"
and  "General  Information  -- Expenses"  -- page 23. For a  description  of the
investment  objectives,   policies  and  restrictions  of  the  Portfolios,  see

                             VALUATION OF SHARES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Net asset value per share of each class of shares of each Fund is determined
each day the New York Stock  Exchange  is open for trading (a  "Business  Day").
This  determination  is made once each day as of the close of regular trading on
the Exchange  (currently  4:00 p.m.  Eastern time) by adding the market value of
all securities and other assets attributable to a class of a Fund (including the
Fund's interest in its Portfolio),  then subtracting the liabilities  charged to
the class,  and then dividing the result by the number of outstanding  shares of
the class.  Per share net asset  value of each class of each  Fund's  shares may
differ because Class B shares bear higher expenses than Class A shares.  The net
asset value per share of each class of shares is effective  for orders  received
and accepted by the Distributor prior to its calculation.

    Portfolio  securities and other assets are valued  primarily on the basis of
market quotations,  or if quotations are not available,  by a method believed to
accurately  reflect  fair  value.  Non-U.S.   securities  are  valued  based  on
quotations  from the primary  market in which they are traded and are translated
from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. In light
of the  non-U.S.  nature of some of each  Fund's  investments,  trading may take
place in securities held by the Funds on days which are not Business Days and on
which it will not be possible to purchase or redeem shares of the Funds.

                              CLASSES OF SHARES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    DIFFERENCES  AMONG THE  CLASSES:  Class A and B shares  of a Fund  represent
interests in the same mutual fund. The primary  distinctions between the classes
of each Fund's shares are their  initial and  contingent  deferred  sales charge
structures and their ongoing  expenses,  including  service fees and asset-based
sales charges in the form of distribution fees. These differences are summarized
in the table below.  Each class has distinct  advantages and  disadvantages  for
different  investors,  and  investors may choose the class that best suits their
circumstances and objectives.

</TABLE>

FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN CHOOSING A CLASS OF SHARES:    In deciding which class of
shares to purchase, investors should consider the cost of sales charges together
with the cost of the ongoing annual  expenses  described  below,  as well as any
other relevant facts and circumstances.

    SALES  CHARGES.  Class A shares are sold at net asset  value plus an initial
sales  charge  of up to 4.75% of the  public  offering  price  (except  that for
purchases  of $1  million  or more,  no initial  sales  charge is imposed  and a
contingent  deferred  sales  charge  may be  imposed  instead).  Because of this
initial  sales  charge,  not all of a Class A  shareholder's  purchase  price is
invested in a Fund. Class B shares are sold with no initial sales charge,  but a
contingent  deferred  sales charge (up to 5.00% of the lesser of the shares' net
asset  value  at  redemption  or  their  original  purchase  price)  applies  to
redemptions  made within six years of  purchase.  Thus,  the entire  amount of a
Class B shareholder's purchase price is immediately invested in a Fund.

    WAIVERS AND REDUCTIONS OF SALES CHARGES. Class A share purchases of at least
$25,000 and Class A share  purchases  made under a Fund's  reduced  sales charge
plan may be made at a reduced sales charge.  In considering the combined cost of
sales charges and ongoing annual  expenses,  investors  should take into account
any reduced sales charges on Class A shares for which they may be eligible.

    The entire  initial  sales  charge on Class A shares is waived  for  certain
eligible  purchasers.  However,  a 1.00%  contingent  deferred  sales  charge is
imposed  on  certain  redemptions  of Class A shares on which no  initial  sales
charge was assessed.  Because Class A shares bear lower ongoing annual  expenses
than Class B shares, in most cases investors  eligible for reduced initial sales
charges should purchase Class A shares.

    The  contingent  deferred  sales  charge may be waived  upon  redemption  of
certain Class B shares. See "Purchases."

    ONGOING ANNUAL EXPENSES. Class A shares pay an annual 12b-1 distribution fee
of 0.05% of  average  daily  net  assets.  Class B shares  pay an  annual  12b-1
distribution  fee of 0.75% of average  daily net assets.  In  addition,  Class B
shares are  subject to a service  fee at the annual rate of 0.05% of the average
daily net assets  represented by Class B shares.  Annual 12b-1 distribution fees
are a form of asset-based sales charge. An investor should consider both ongoing
annual  expenses and initial or contingent  deferred sales charges in estimating
the costs of investing in the different classes of Fund shares over various time
periods.

CONVERSION OF CLASS B SHARES: A shareholder's  Class B shares will automatically
convert to Class A shares in the same Fund  approximately  eight years after the
date of  issuance,  together  with a pro  rata  portion  of all  Class B  shares
representing  dividends  and  other  distributions  paid in  additional  Class B
shares.  The  conversion  will be effected at the  relative net asset values per
share of the two  classes  on the first  Business  Day of the month in which the
eighth  anniversary  of  the  issuance  of  the  Class  B  shares  occurs.  If a
shareholder  effects one or more exchanges  among Class B shares of the Landmark
Funds  during the  eight-year  period,  the  holding  periods  for the shares so
exchanged will be counted toward the  eight-year  period.  Because the per share
net  asset  value of the Class A shares  may be higher  than that of the Class B
shares at the time of conversion, a shareholder may receive fewer Class A shares
than the number of Class B shares  converted,  although the dollar value will be
the same. See "Valuation of Shares." The conversion of Class B shares to Class A
shares is subject to the continuing  availability  of a ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel that the conversion will not constitute
a taxable event for federal tax purposes.  There can be no assurance that such a
ruling or opinion will be  available,  and the  conversion  of Class B shares to
Class A shares  will not occur if such  ruling or opinion is not  available.  In
that event,  Class B shares would continue to be subject to higher expenses than
Class A shares for an indefinite period.

OTHER   INFORMATION:   See   "Purchases,"   "Redemptions"   and  "Management  --
Distribution  Arrangements"  for a more complete  description of the initial and
contingent deferred sales charges and distribution fees for each class of shares
of each Fund.  By  purchasing  shares an investor  agrees to the  imposition  of
initial and deferred sales charges as described in this Prospectus.

                                  PURCHASES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Each Fund offers two classes of shares, Class A and B shares, with different
expense levels and sales charges.  See "Classes of Shares" for more information.
WHEN PLACING PURCHASE ORDERS,  INVESTORS SHOULD SPECIFY WHETHER THE ORDER IS FOR
CLASS A OR CLASS B SHARES.  ALL SHARE  PURCHASE  ORDERS  THAT FAIL TO  SPECIFY A
CLASS AUTOMATICALLY WILL BE INVESTED IN CLASS A SHARES.

    Shares of the Funds are offered  continuously  and may be  purchased  on any
Business Day at the public  offering  price either  through a securities  broker
which has a sales  agreement  with the  Distributor  or  through a bank or other
financial institution which has an agency agreement with the Distributor. Such a
bank or financial  institution  will receive  transaction fees that are equal to
the  commissions  paid to  securities  brokers.  Shares  of the  Funds are being
offered  exclusively  to customers of a  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent (i.e.,  a
financial institution, such as a federal or state-chartered bank, trust company,
savings and loan association or savings bank, or a securities  broker,  that has
entered into a shareholder servicing agreement concerning a Fund). An investor's
Shareholder  Servicing Agent may not make available both classes of shares.  The
public offering price is the net asset value next  determined  after an order is
transmitted to and accepted by the Distributor, plus any applicable sales charge
for Class A shares.  Each  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent is required to promptly
forward orders for Fund shares to the Distributor. Each Fund and the Distributor
reserve the right to reject any  purchase  order and to suspend the  offering of
Fund shares for a period of time.

    Each  shareholder's  account is  established  and  maintained  by his or her
Shareholder  Servicing  Agent,  which will be the  shareholder  of record of the
Fund. Each Shareholder  Servicing Agent may establish its own terms,  conditions
and charges  with  respect to services it offers to its  customers.  Charges for
these services may include fixed annual fees and account  maintenance  fees. The
effect of any such fees will be to reduce  the net return on the  investment  of
customers of that Shareholder Servicing Agent.

    Shareholder  Servicing  Agents  will not  transmit  purchase  orders  to the
Distributor  until they have  received  the  purchase  price in federal or other
immediately  available funds. If Fund shares are purchased by check,  there will
be a delay  (usually  not longer than two  business  days) in  transmitting  the
purchase order until the check is converted into federal funds.

PURCHASING CLASS A SHARES:  INITIAL SALES CHARGE -- CLASS A SHARES.  Each Fund's
public  offering price of Class A shares is the next determined net asset value,
plus any applicable sales charge,  which will vary with the size of the purchase

    SALES CHARGE ELIMINATION -- CLASS A SHARES.  Class A shares of the Funds are
available  without a sales charge  through  exchanges for Class A shares of most
other Landmark Funds. See "Exchanges."  Also, the sales charge does not apply to
Class A shares acquired  through the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains
distributions. Class A shares may be purchased without a sales charge by:

(i)    tax exempt  organizations  under  Section  501(c)(3-13)  of the  Internal
       Revenue Code (the "Code"),

(ii)   trust  accounts  for which  Citibank or any  subsidiary  or  affiliate of
       Citibank  (a  "Citibank   Affiliate")   acts  as  trustee  and  exercises
       discretionary investment management authority,

(iii)  accounts  purchasing  shares  through  the  Private  Client  Division  of
       Citicorp  Investment  Services or through other programs accessed through
       the  Private  Client  Division of Citicorp  Investment  Services,  or the
       private  banking  division  of either  Citibank,  N.A.,  Citibank  FSB or
       Citicorp Trust, N.A.,

(iv)   accounts for which Citibank or any Citibank Affiliate performs investment
       advisory services,

(v)    accounts for which  Citibank or any Citibank  Affiliate  charges fees for
       acting as custodian,

(vi)   trustees of any  investment  company for which  Citibank or any  Citibank
       Affiliate serves as the investment adviser or as a shareholder  servicing
       agent,

(vii)  any  affiliated  person of a Fund,  the  Adviser,  the  Distributor,  the
       Administrator or any Shareholder Servicing Agent,

(viii) shareholder accounts established through a reorganization or similar form
       of business  combination approved by a Fund's Board of Trustees or by the
       Board of Trustees of any other  Landmark  Fund the terms of which entitle
       those  shareholders  to purchase  shares of a Fund or any other  Landmark
       Fund at net asset value without a sales charge,

(ix)   employee benefit plans qualified under Section 401 of the Code, including
       salary  reduction  plans  qualified  under  Section  401(k)  of the Code,
       subject  to  such  minimum  requirements  as  may be  established  by the
       Distributor  with  respect  to the  number  of  employees  or  amount  of
       purchase;  currently,  these  criteria  require  that  (a)  the  employer
       establishing  the qualified  plan have at least 50 eligible  employees or
       (b)  the  amount  invested  by  such  qualified  plan in a Fund or in any
       combination of Landmark Funds totals a minimum of $500,000,

(x)    investors  purchasing  $1 million or more of Class A shares.  However,  a
       contingent  deferred sales charge will be imposed on such  investments in
       the event of certain  share  redemptions  within 12 months  following the
       share  purchase,  at the rate of 1.00% of the  lesser of the value of the
       shares  redeemed  (exclusive  of  reinvested  dividends and capital gains
       distributions) or the total cost of such shares. In determining whether a
       contingent deferred sales charge on Class A shares is payable, and if so,
       the amount of the  charge,  it is assumed  that shares not subject to the
       contingent deferred sales charge are the first redeemed followed by other
       shares held for the longest period of time. All investments made during a
       calendar  month  will age one month on the last day of the month and each
       subsequent month. Any applicable contingent deferred sales charge will be
       deferred upon an exchange of Class A shares for Class A shares of another
       Landmark  Fund  and  deducted  from the  redemption  proceeds  when  such
       exchanged  shares are  subsequently  redeemed  (assuming  the  contingent
       deferred  sales charge is then  payable).  The holding  period of Class A
       shares so acquired through an exchange will be aggregated with the period
       during  which the  original  Class A shares  were  held.  The  contingent
       deferred  sales  charge on Class A shares  will be waived  under the same
       circumstances  as the contingent  deferred sales charge on Class B shares
       will be  waived.  See  "Sales  Charge  Waivers  -- Class B  Shares."  Any
       applicable  contingent  deferred  sales  charges  will  be  paid  to  the
       Distributor,

(xi)   subject to appropriate documentation, investors where the amount invested
       represents  redemption proceeds from a mutual fund (other than a Landmark
       Fund) if: (i) the redeemed shares were subject to an initial sales charge
       or a deferred sales charge  (whether or not actually  imposed);  and (ii)
       such  redemption  has occurred no more than 90 days prior to the purchase
       of Class A shares of the Fund, or

(xii)  an investor who has a business relationship with an investment consultant
       or other registered representative who joined a broker-dealer which has a
       sales agreement with the Distributor from another  investment firm within
       six months  prior to the date of  purchase by such  investor,  if (a) the
       investor   redeems  shares  of  another  mutual  fund  sold  through  the
       investment  firm that previously  employed that investment  consultant or
       other registered representative,  and either paid an initial sales charge
       or was at some time  subject  to,  but did not  actually  pay, a deferred
       sales charge or redemption fee with respect to the  redemption  proceeds,
       (b) the  redemption  is made within 60 days prior to the  investment in a
       Fund,  and (c) the net asset value of the shares of the Fund sold to that
       investor  without a sales  charge  does not exceed the  proceeds  of such
       redemption.

    REDUCED SALES CHARGE PLANS -- CLASS A SHARES.  An individual who is a member
of a qualified  group may purchase Class A shares of a Fund at the reduced sales
charge  applicable  to the group as a whole.  The sales charge is based upon the
aggregate dollar value of Class A shares previously purchased and still owned by
the group, plus the amount of the purchase. A "qualified group" is one which (i)
has been in existence  for more than six months,  (ii) has a purpose  other than
acquiring Fund shares at a discount,  and (iii) satisfies uniform criteria which
enable  the  Distributor  to  realize   economies  of  scale  in  its  costs  of
distributing shares. A qualified group must have more than ten members,  must be
available to arrange for group meetings between  representatives of the Fund and
the members, must agree to include sales and other materials related to the Fund
in its  publications  and  mailings  to  members  at  reduced  or no cost to the
Distributor,  and must seek to  arrange  for  payroll  deduction  or other  bulk
transmission of investments to the Fund.

    Reduced initial sales charges on Class A shares also may be achieved through
a RIGHT OF  ACCUMULATION  or a LETTER OF INTENT.  Under a RIGHT OF  ACCUMULATION
eligible  investors  are  permitted to purchase  Class A shares of a Fund at the
public  offering  price  applicable  to the total of (a) the dollar  amount then
being purchased, plus (b) an amount equal to the then-current net asset value or
cost (whichever is higher) of the purchaser's  combined holdings in the Landmark
Funds. The Right of Accumulation may be amended or terminated at any time.

    If an investor anticipates purchasing $25,000 or more of Class A shares of a
Fund  alone or in  combination  with  Class B  shares  of the Fund or any of the
classes of other  Landmark  Funds  within a 13-month  period,  the  investor may
obtain such shares at the same reduced sales charge as though the total quantity
were  invested in one lump sum,  subject to the  appointment  of an attorney for
redemptions of shares if the intended purchases are not completed, by completing
a LETTER OF INTENT.  Investors should consult "Determination of Net Asset Value;
Valuation of Securities;  Additional Purchase and Redemption Information" in the
Statement of Additional  Information and their Shareholder  Servicing Agents for
more information about Rights of Accumulation and Letters of Intent.

PURCHASING CLASS B SHARES:  CONTINGENT  DEFERRED SALES CHARGE -- CLASS B SHARES.
Each Fund's public  offering price of Class B shares is the next  determined net
asset value, and no initial sales charge is imposed. A contingent deferred sales
charge, however, is imposed upon certain redemptions of Class B shares.

    Class B  shares  of a Fund  that  are  redeemed  will  not be  subject  to a
contingent  deferred  sales  charge to the extent  that the value of such shares
represents  (i)  capital  appreciation  of Fund  assets,  (ii)  reinvestment  of
dividends or capital gains  distributions or (iii) shares redeemed more than six
years after their  purchase.  Otherwise,  redemptions  of Class B shares will be
subject to a contingent  deferred  sales  charge.  The amount of any  applicable
contingent deferred sales charge will be calculated by multiplying the lesser of
net asset  value of such  shares  at the time of  redemption  or their  original
purchase price by the applicable percentage shown in the following table.


                                          CONTINGENT
                                           DEFERRED
  REDEMPTION DURING                      SALES CHARGE
  ------------------------------------------------------
  lst Year Since Purchase ............      5.00%
  2nd Year Since Purchase ............      4.00%
  3rd Year Since Purchase ............      3.00%
  4th Year Since Purchase ............      3.00%
  5th Year Since Purchase ............      2.00%
  6th Year Since Purchase ............      1.00%
  7th Year (or Later) Since Purchase .       None
  -------------------------------------------------------

In  determining  the  applicability  and rate of any  contingent  deferred sales
charge,  it will be assumed  that a  redemption  is made first of Class B shares
representing capital appreciation,  next of shares representing the reinvestment
of dividends and capital gains distributions and finally of other shares held by
the  shareholder  for the longest  period of time. The holding period of Class B
shares of a Fund acquired through an exchange with another Landmark Fund will be
calculated from the date that the Class B shares were initially  acquired in one
of the  other  Landmark  Funds,  and  Class  B  shares  being  redeemed  will be
considered to represent,  as applicable,  capital  appreciation  or dividend and
capital gains  distribution  reinvestments in such other funds. This will result
in any  contingent  deferred  sales charge being imposed at the lowest  possible
rate.  For federal income tax purposes,  the amount of the  contingent  deferred
sales charge will reduce the gain or increase  the loss,  as the case may be, on
the amount realized on redemption. Any contingent deferred sales charges will be
paid to the Distributor.

    SALES CHARGE WAIVERS -- CLASS B SHARES. The contingent deferred sales charge
will be waived for exchanges.  In addition, the contingent deferred sales charge
will be waived for a total or  partial  redemption  made  within one year of the
death  of  the  shareholder.   This  waiver  is  available  where  the  deceased
shareholder  is either the sole  shareholder  or owns the shares with his or her
spouse  as a joint  tenant  with  right of  survivorship,  and  applies  only to
redemption of shares held at the time of death.  The  contingent  deferred sales
charge also will be waived in connection with:

(i)    a lump sum or other distribution in the case of an Individual  Retirement
       Account ("IRA"),  a self-employed  individual  retirement plan (so-called
       "Keogh Plan") or a custodian account under Section 403(b) of the Code, in
       each case  following  attainment  of age 59 1/2,

(ii)   a total or partial redemption  resulting from any distribution  following
       retirement in the case of a  tax-qualified  retirement  plan, and

(iii)  a redemption  resulting from a tax-free return of an excess  contribution
       to an IRA.

    Contingent  deferred  sales  charge  waivers  will  be  granted  subject  to
confirmation by a shareholder's Shareholder Servicing Agent of the shareholder's
status or holdings, as the case may be.

    Securities  dealers and other financial  institutions may receive  different
compensation  with  respect  to  sales  of  Class  A and  Class  B  shares.  The
Distributor,   at  its  expense,  may  from  time  to  time  provide  additional
promotional  incentives to brokers who sell shares of a Fund. In some instances,
these  incentives  may be offered to certain  brokers  who have sold or may sell
significant numbers of shares of a Fund.

                                  EXCHANGES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Shares of each Fund may be  exchanged  for shares of the same class of other
Landmark Funds that are made available by a shareholder's  Shareholder Servicing
Agent,  or may be  acquired  through an  exchange of shares of the same class of
those funds. No initial sales charge is imposed on shares being acquired through
an exchange unless Class A shares are being acquired and the sales charge of the
fund being  exchanged  into is greater than the current sales charge of the Fund
(in which case an initial  sales  charge  will be imposed at a rate equal to the
difference).  No  contingent  deferred  sales  charge is imposed on shares being
disposed of through an exchange;  however, contingent deferred sales charges may
apply to redemptions of Class B shares acquired through an exchange.

    Shareholders must place exchange orders through their Shareholder  Servicing
Agents, and may do so by telephone if their account  applications so permit. For
more information on telephone transactions see "Redemptions." All exchanges will
be effected  based on the relative  net asset  values per share next  determined
after the  exchange  order is received by the  Distributor.  See  "Valuation  of
Shares."  Shares of the Funds may be  exchanged  only  after  payment in federal
funds for the shares has been made.

    This exchange  privilege may be modified or terminated at any time,  upon at
least 60 days'  notice  when  such  notice  is  required  by SEC  rules,  and is
available only in those  jurisdictions where such exchanges legally may be made.
See the Statement of Additional  Information for further details.  Before making
any exchange,  shareholders should contact their Shareholder Servicing Agents to
obtain more  information  and  prospectuses of the Landmark Funds to be acquired
through the exchange.

    An exchange is treated as a sale of the shares exchanged and could result in
taxable gain or loss to the shareholder making the exchange.

                                 REDEMPTIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Fund shares may be redeemed at their net asset value next determined after a
redemption  request in proper form is received  by a  shareholder's  Shareholder
Servicing  Agent (subject to any applicable  contingent  deferred sales charge).
Shareholders may redeem shares of a Fund only by authorizing  their  Shareholder
Servicing  Agents to redeem such shares on their behalf through the Distributor.
If a redeeming  shareholder  owns shares of more than one class,  Class A shares
will be redeemed first unless the shareholder specifically requests otherwise.

    A redemption is treated as a sale of the shares redeemed and could result in
taxable gain or loss to the shareholder making the redemption.

    REDEMPTIONS BY MAIL.  Shareholders may redeem Fund shares by sending written
instructions  in  proper  form (as  determined  by a  shareholder's  Shareholder
Servicing  Agent)  to  their  Shareholder  Servicing  Agents.  Shareholders  are
responsible for ensuring that a request for redemption is in proper form.

    REDEMPTIONS BY TELEPHONE. Shareholders may redeem or exchange Fund shares by
telephone, if their account applications so permit, by calling their Shareholder
Servicing Agents. During periods of drastic economic or market changes or severe
weather  or  other   emergencies,   shareholders  may  experience   difficulties
implementing  a telephone  exchange  or  redemption.  In such an event,  another
method of instruction,  such as a written request sent via an overnight delivery
service,  should be considered.  The Funds and each Shareholder  Servicing Agent
will employ reasonable  procedures to confirm that instructions  communicated by
telephone are genuine.  These procedures may include  recording of the telephone
instructions  and  verification of a caller's  identity by asking for his or her
name, address,  telephone number, Social Security number, and account number. If
these  or  other  reasonable  procedures  are  not  followed,  the  Fund  or the
Shareholder Servicing Agent may be liable for any losses to a shareholder due to
unauthorized or fraudulent  instructions.  Otherwise,  the shareholder will bear
all risk of loss relating to a redemption or exchange by telephone.

    PAYMENT OF  REDEMPTIONS.  The proceeds of a  redemption  are paid in federal
funds  normally on the next Business Day, but in any event within seven days. If
a shareholder  requests  redemption of shares which were purchased  recently,  a
Fund may delay payment until it is assured that good payment has been  received.
In  the  case  of  purchases  by  check,  this  can  take  up to ten  days.  See
"Determination of Net Asset Value; Valuation of Securities;  Additional Purchase
and Redemption Information" in the Statement of Additional Information regarding
the Funds' right to pay the redemption price in kind with securities (instead of
cash).

    REINSTATEMENT  PRIVILEGE.  Shareholders who have redeemed Class A shares may
reinstate  their Fund  account  without a sales  charge up to the dollar  amount
redeemed  (with a credit  for any  contingent  deferred  sales  charge  paid) by
purchasing  Class A shares of the same Fund within 30 days after the redemption.
To take  advantage of this  reinstatement  privilege,  shareholders  must notify
their  Shareholder  Servicing  Agents in  writing at the time the  privilege  is
exercised.

    Questions  about   redemption   requirements   should  be  referred  to  the
shareholder's  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent.  The right of any  shareholder  to
receive  payment with respect to any  redemption may be suspended or the payment
of the redemption  price postponed during any period in which the New York Stock
Exchange is closed  (other than weekends or holidays) or trading on the Exchange
is restricted or if an emergency exists.

                         DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Substantially all of each Fund's net income from dividends and interest,  if
any, is paid to its shareholders of record as a dividend as follows:

    For the  BALANCED  FUND,  QUARTERLY  on or about the last day of each MARCH,
JUNE, SEPTEMBER and DECEMBER.

    For the EQUITY FUND and SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND,  SEMIANNUALLY on or about the
last day of each JUNE and DECEMBER.

    Each Fund's net realized  short-term and long-term  capital  gains,  if any,
will be distributed to the Fund's  shareholders at least annually,  in December.
Each Fund may also make  additional  distributions  to its  shareholders  to the
extent necessary to avoid the application of the 4% non-deductible excise tax on
certain undistributed income and net capital gains of mutual funds.

    Subject to the policies of the shareholder's  Shareholder Servicing Agent, a
shareholder may elect to receive  dividends and capital gains  distributions  in
either  cash or  additional  shares of the same class  issued at net asset value
without a sales charge.  Distributions paid by each Fund with respect to Class A
shares  generally  will be higher than those paid with respect to Class B shares
because expenses attributable to Class B shares generally will be higher.

                                  MANAGEMENT
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRUSTEES AND  OFFICERS:  Each Fund is  supervised  by a Board of  Trustees.  The
Portfolios are also supervised by a Board of Trustees.  In each case, a majority
of the Trustees are not affiliated with the Adviser. In addition,  a majority of
the disinterested Trustees of each of the Funds are different from a majority of
the disinterested Trustees of their corresponding  Portfolios.  More information
on the  Trustees  and  officers of the Funds and the  Portfolios  appears  under
"Management" in the Statement of Additional Information.

INVESTMENT ADVISER:  CITIBANK. Each Fund draws on the strength and experience of
Citibank.  Citibank  offers a wide range of banking and  investment  services to
customers  across  the  United  States and  throughout  the world,  and has been
managing money since 1822. Its portfolio  managers are responsible for investing
in money market, equity and fixed income securities. Citibank and its affiliates
manage more than $73  billion in assets  worldwide.  Citibank is a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of Citicorp.  Citibank also serves as investment  adviser to 11 other
Landmark Funds or portfolios.

    Citibank manages the Funds' assets pursuant to separate  investment advisory
agreements  ("Advisory  Agreements").  Subject to policies set by the  Trustees,
Citibank makes investment decisions. Citibank's address is 153 East 53rd Street,
New York, New York 10043.

    BALANCED FUND. A. Dwight Hyde, Jr. and Mark Lindbloom have served as
managers of the Balanced Fund since January 1993 and March 1993, respectively.
Mr. Hyde manages the equity portion of the portfolio. In addition, he manages
over $2 billion of other assets at Citibank. Prior to joining Citibank in
1980, he was Chief Investment Officer at Dean Witter Asset Management and
Paribas Asset Management. Mr. Lindbloom manages the fixed income portion of
the portfolio. He came to Citibank in 1986 from Brown Brothers Harriman & Co.,
where he managed fixed income assets for discretionary corporate portfolios.

    EQUITY FUND. A. Dwight Hyde, Jr. has served as manager of the Equity Fund
since January 1993. Mr. Hyde's investment management experience is described
above.

    SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND.  David N. Pearl,  Linda J. Intini and  Marguerite  H.
Wagner were appointed as the managers of the Small Cap Equity Fund. Mr. Pearl is
a portfolio manager of U.S. equity assets for institutional clients, and came to
Citibank in 1994. Prior to coming to Citibank,  he worked as a portfolio manager
at both Fleming  Capital  Management and Bankers Trust Company.  Ms. Intini is a
portfolio manager with Citibank's  Special Equity Team, and she came to Citibank
in 1992.  She most recently held the position of Portfolio  Manager and Research
Analyst for five years with Manufacturers  Hanover Trust in their special equity
area.  Ms.  Wagner  is  also a  portfolio  manager  and  research  analyst  with
Citibank's  Special Equity Team. She joined  Citibank in 1985 and has previously
managed a balanced portfolio for The Citibank Private Bank.

    Management's  discussion of  performance of the Balanced Fund and the Equity
Fund is included in the Annual  Reports to  Shareholders  of those Funds,  which
investors may obtain without charge by contacting  their  Shareholder  Servicing
Agents.  The Small Cap Equity  Fund is newly  organized  and  therefore  has not
issued any reports to shareholders.

    ADVISORY FEES. For its services under the Advisory  Agreements,  the Adviser
receives the following  investment  advisory  fees,  which are accrued daily and
paid monthly,  expressed as a percentage of the applicable  Fund's average daily
net assets on an annualized basis for that Fund's then-current fiscal year:

      Balanced Fund                                                0.40%
      Equity Fund                                                  0.50%
      Small Cap Equity Fund                                        0.75%

The investment  advisory fees of the Small Cap Equity Fund are higher than those
paid by most investment companies.  The Adviser may voluntarily agree to waive a
portion of its investment advisory fees.

    For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994,  the  investment  advisory fees
paid to Citibank  were:  for the Balanced  Fund,  $980,955  (0.40% of the Fund's
average  daily net  assets  for that  fiscal  year);  and for the  Equity  Fund,
$966,230, of which $62,569 was voluntarily waived (after the waiver, .03% of the
Fund's average daily net assets for that fiscal year).

    BANKING  RELATIONSHIPS.  Citibank and its affiliates may have deposit,  loan
and other  relationships  with the issuers of securities  purchased on behalf of
the Funds,  including  outstanding  loans to such issuers which may be repaid in
whole or in part with the  proceeds of  securities  so  purchased.  Citibank has
informed the Funds that, in making its investment decisions,  it does not obtain
or use  material  inside  information  in the  possession  of  any  division  or
department of Citibank or in the possession of any affiliate of Citibank.

    BANK REGULATORY MATTERS.  The Glass-Steagall Act prohibits certain financial
institutions,  such  as  Citibank,  from  underwriting  securities  of  open-end
investment  companies,  such as the Funds.  Citibank  believes that its services
under  the  Advisory  Agreements  and  the  activities  performed  by it or  its
affiliates  as  Shareholder  Servicing  Agents  and  sub-administrator  are  not
underwriting and are consistent with the  Glass-Steagall  Act and other relevant
federal and state laws. However, there is no controlling precedent regarding the
performance of the combination of investment advisory, shareholder servicing and
sub-administrative activities by banks. State laws on this issue may differ from
applicable federal law, and banks and financial  institutions may be required to
register as dealers pursuant to state securities laws. Changes in either federal
or state statutes or  regulations,  or in their  interpretations,  could prevent
Citibank  or its  affiliates  from  continuing  to perform  these  services.  If
Citibank or its  affiliates  were to be  prevented  from acting as the  Adviser,
sub-administrator  or a  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent,  the  Funds  would  seek
alternative  means for obtaining  these  services.  The Funds do not expect that
shareholders would suffer any adverse financial  consequences as a result of any
such occurrence.

ADMINISTRATIVE  SERVICES PLANS: The Funds and the Portfolios have administrative
services  plans (the  "Administrative  Services  Plans")  which provide that the
Funds and the Portfolios may obtain the services of an administrator, a transfer
agent,  a  custodian,  and,  in the case of the Funds,  one or more  Shareholder
Servicing  Agents,  and may enter into  agreements  providing for the payment of
fees for such services.  Under the Funds'  Administrative  Services  Plans,  the
total of the fees paid to the Funds'  Administrator  and  Shareholder  Servicing
Agents  may not  exceed  0.65% of each  Fund's  average  daily net  assets on an
annualized basis for the Fund's  then-current fiscal year. Any distribution fees
or  service  fees  (other  than any fee  concerning  electronic  or other  media
advertising)  payable under the Distribution Plans for the Class A shares of the
Balanced and Equity Funds are included in this  percentage  limitation for those
shares.  For the Class A shares of the Small Cap Equity Fund and for the Class B
shares of each Fund,  this limitation does not include any amounts payable under
the  Distribution  Plans for  those  shares.  Within  this  overall  limitation,
individual fees may vary.  Under the Portfolios'  Administrative  Services Plan,
fees  paid  to the  Portfolios'  Administrator  may  not  exceed  0.05%  of each
Portfolio's  average daily net assets on an annualized basis for the Portfolio's
then-current fiscal year. See "Administrators,"  "Shareholder  Servicing Agents"
and "Transfer Agent, Custodian and Fund Accountant."

ADMINISTRATORS:  LFBDS and Signature  Financial  Group  (Cayman),  Ltd.,  either
directly  or  through  a  wholly-owned   subsidiary  ("SFG"),   provide  certain
administrative  services to the Funds and the  Portfolios  under  administrative
services  agreements.  These  administrative  services include providing general
office facilities,  supervising the overall  administration of the Funds and the
Portfolios,  and  providing  persons  satisfactory  to the Boards of Trustees to
serve as Trustees and officers of the Funds and  Portfolios.  These Trustees and
officers  may be  directors,  officers  or  employees  of  LFBDS,  SFG or  their
affiliates.

    For these services,  the Administrators  receive fees accrued daily and paid
monthly of 0.20% of the  average  daily net assets of each Fund and 0.05% of the
assets of each Portfolio,  in each case on an annualized basis for the Fund's or
the Portfolio's  then-current fiscal year.  However,  each of the Administrators
has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the fees payable to it as necessary
to maintain the projected rate of total operating expenses.  LFBDS has agreed to
pay certain  ordinary  operating  expenses of the  Balanced  Fund and the Equity
Fund. See "General Information -- Expenses."

    LFBDS and SFG are  wholly-owned  subsidiaries of Signature  Financial Group,
Inc. "Landmark" is a service mark of LFBDS.

SUB-ADMINISTRATOR:  Pursuant to sub-administrative services agreements, Citibank
performs  such  sub-administrative  duties for the Funds and  Portfolios as from
time to  time  are  agreed  upon  by  Citibank  and  LFBDS  or  SFG.  Citibank's
compensation as sub-administrator is paid by LFBDS or SFG.

SHAREHOLDER  SERVICING AGENTS: The Funds have entered into separate  shareholder
servicing  agreements  with each  Shareholder  Servicing Agent pursuant to which
that  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent  provides  shareholder  services,  including
answering customer  inquiries,  assisting in processing  purchase,  exchange and
redemption transactions and furnishing Fund communications to shareholders.  For
these services,  each Shareholder  Servicing Agent receives a fee from each Fund
at an  annual  rate of  0.40%  of the  average  daily  net  assets  of the  Fund
represented  by shares owned by investors  for whom such  Shareholder  Servicing
Agent maintains a servicing  relationship.  However,  each Shareholder Servicing
Agent voluntarily has agreed to waive a portion of its fee.

    Some  Shareholder  Servicing  Agents may impose certain  conditions on their
customers in addition to or different  from those imposed by the Funds,  such as
requiring a minimum initial  investment or charging their customers a direct fee
for their services.  Each Shareholder  Servicing Agent has agreed to transmit to
its  customers  who  are  shareholders  of  a  Fund  appropriate  prior  written
disclosure of any fees that it may charge them  directly and to provide  written
notice at least 30 days prior to imposition of any transaction fees.

TRANSFER  AGENT,  CUSTODIAN  AND FUND  ACCOUNTANT:  State  Street Bank and Trust
Company acts as transfer agent and dividend  disbursing agent for each Fund. The
principal  business  address  of State  Street  Bank and  Trust  Company  is 225
Franklin Street,  Boston,  Massachusetts  02110.  Investors Bank & Trust Company
acts as the custodian of each Fund's and each Portfolio's assets. Securities may
be held by a sub-custodian  bank approved by the Trustees.  Signature  Financial
Services,  Inc.  provides fund accounting  services and calculates the daily net
asset value for the Funds.

DISTRIBUTION  ARRANGEMENTS:  LFBDS is the distributor of shares of each Fund and
also  serves  as  distributor  for each of the  other  Landmark  Funds  and as a
Shareholder  Servicing Agent for certain investors.  LFBDS receives distribution
fees from the Funds pursuant to  Distribution  Plans adopted in accordance  with
Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. LFBDS also collects the sales charges  imposed on
purchases of Class A shares and collects any  contingent  deferred sales charges
imposed on  redemptions  of Class A and Class B shares.  In those  states  where
LFBDS is not a  registered  broker-dealer,  shares of the Funds are sold through
Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc., as dealer.

    The Funds  maintain  separate  plans of  distribution  pertaining to Class A
shares and Class B shares (collectively "Plans"). The Class A Plans provide that
the  Funds may pay the  Distributor  a  monthly  distribution  fee and a monthly
service fee at annual rates not to exceed, respectively,  0.15% and 0.25% of the
average daily net assets  represented  by Class A shares.  However,  none of the
Funds has entered into any agreement to pay this service fee to the Distributor.
The Class A Plans also permit the Funds to pay the Distributor an additional fee
(not to exceed  0.05% of the  average  daily net assets  represented  by Class A
shares) in anticipation  of or as  reimbursement  for print or electronic  media
advertising expenses incurred in connection with the sale of Class A shares. The
Balanced  Fund and the Equity  Fund did not pay  anything  under this  provision
during 1994, and the Funds do not anticipate  doing so during the current fiscal
year.

    The Class B Plans provide that the Funds will pay the  Distributor a monthly
distribution  fee and a  monthly  service  fee at annual  rates  not to  exceed,
respectively,  0.75% and 0.25% of the average  daily net assets  represented  by
Class B shares. Currently, the service fee for Class B shares is 0.05% per annum
of the average daily net assets represented by Class B shares.

    The Distributor  uses the  distribution  fees under the Plans to offset each
Fund's marketing costs attributable to the classes, such as preparation of sales
literature,  advertising,  and printing and distributing  prospectuses and other
shareholder materials to prospective investors. In addition, the Distributor may
use the  distribution  fees to pay costs  related  to  distribution  activities,
including   employee  salaries,   bonuses  and  other  overhead  expenses.   The
Distributor  also uses the  distribution  fees under the Class B Plans to offset
the commissions it pays to brokers and other institutions for selling the Funds'
Class B shares. The Funds and the Distributor  provide to the Trustees quarterly
a written report of amounts expended  pursuant to the Plans and the purposes for
which the expenditures were made.

    During the period  they are in effect,  the Plans and  related  distribution
agreements  pertaining  to each  class  of  shares  ("Distribution  Agreements")
obligate the Funds to pay  distribution  fees to LFBDS as  compensation  for its
distribution  activities,  not as reimbursement for specific expenses  incurred.
Thus, even if LFBDS's  expenses exceed its  distribution  fees for any Fund, the
Fund will not be obligated to pay more than those fees and, if LFBDS's  expenses
are less than such fees, it will retain its full fees and realize a profit. Each
Fund will pay the distribution fees to LFBDS until either the applicable Plan or
Distribution  Agreement is  terminated  or not renewed.  In that event,  LFBDS's
expenses  in excess  of  distribution  fees  received  or  accrued  through  the
termination date will be LFBDS's sole  responsibility and not obligations of the
Fund. In their annual  consideration  of the  continuation of the Plans for each
Fund,  the  Trustees  will review each Plan and LFBDS's  expenses for each class
separately.

    Each class of shares of each Fund has  exclusive  voting rights with respect
to the Plan for that class.

    From  time  to  time  LFBDS  may  make  payments  for  distribution   and/or
shareholder  servicing  activities  out of its past profits or any other sources
available to it.
                                 TAX MATTERS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    This discussion of taxes is for general  information only.  Investors should
consult their own tax advisers about their particular situations.

    Each Fund  intends to meet the  requirements  of the  Internal  Revenue Code
applicable to regulated  investment  companies so that it will not be liable for
any federal income or excise taxes. Each Fund may pay withholding or other taxes
to foreign  governments  during the year,  however,  and these taxes will reduce
those Funds' dividends.

    Fund dividends and capital gains distributions are subject to federal income
tax  and  may  also  be  subject  to  state  and  local  taxes.   Dividends  and
distributions  are treated in the same manner for federal tax  purposes  whether
they are paid in cash or as additional shares.  Generally,  distributions from a
Fund's net  investment  income  and  short-term  capital  gains will be taxed as
ordinary income. A portion of  distributions  from net investment  income may be
eligible  for  the  dividends-received   deduction  available  to  corporations.
Distributions of net long-term capital gains will be taxed as such regardless of
how long the shares of a Fund have been held.

    Fund distributions  will reduce the distributing  Fund's net asset value per
share.  Shareholders  who buy shares just before a Fund makes a distribution may
thus pay the full price for the shares and then effectively receive a portion of
the purchase price back as a taxable distribution.

    Early each year,  each Fund will notify its  shareholders  of the amount and
tax status of distributions paid to shareholders for the preceding year.

    Investors  should  consult  their own tax advisers  regarding  the status of
their accounts under state and local laws.

                           PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Fund performance may be quoted in advertising, shareholder reports and other
communications in terms of yield,  effective yield or total rate of return.  All
performance  information  is historical  and is not intended to indicate  future
performance.  Yields and total rates of return  fluctuate  in response to market
conditions and other factors, and the value of a Fund's shares when redeemed may
be more or less than their original cost.

    Each Fund may  provide  its period and average  annualized  "total  rates of
return."  The  "total  rate of  return"  refers to the change in the value of an
investment in the Fund over a stated period which was made at the maximum public
offering  price and  reflects  any  change  in net asset  value per share and is
compounded  to include the value of any shares  purchased  with any dividends or
capital gains declared  during such period.  Period total rates of return may be
"annualized." An "annualized" total rate of return assumes that the period total
rate of return is generated over a one-year  period.  These total rate of return
quotations may be  accompanied by quotations  which do not reflect the reduction
in value of the  investment  due to the  initial or  contingent  deferred  sales
charges, and which are thus higher.

    Each Fund may provide  annualized  "yield" and "effective yield" quotations.
The "yield" of a Fund refers to the income  generated  by an  investment  in the
Fund  over a 30-day  or  one-month  period  (which  period is stated in any such
advertisement or  communication).  This income is then annualized;  that is, the
amount of income  generated by the investment  over that period is assumed to be
generated each month over a one-year  period and is shown as a percentage of the
maximum  public  offering  price on the last day of that period.  The "effective
yield" is calculated  similarly,  but when  annualized  the income earned by the
investment  during that 30-day or one-month  period is assumed to be reinvested.
The effective yield is slightly higher than the yield because of the compounding
effect of this assumed reinvestment. A "yield" quotation, unlike a total rate of
return quotation, does not reflect changes in net asset value.

    Each Fund will include performance data for each class of Fund shares in any
advertisements,  reports or  communications  including Fund performance data. Of
course,  any fees charged by a  shareholder's  Shareholder  Servicing Agent will
reduce  that  share-  holder's  net  return  on his or her  investment.  See the
Statement  of  Additional   Information  for  more  information  concerning  the
calculation of yield and total rate of return quotations for the Funds.

                             GENERAL INFORMATION
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ORGANIZATION: The Balanced Fund is a series of Landmark Funds I; each of the
Equity  Funds is a series of Landmark  Funds II.  Landmark  Funds I and Landmark
Funds II are  Massachusetts  business  trusts which were  organized on April 13,
1984; they also are open-end management  investment  companies  registered under
the 1940 Act.

    Each Fund is a  diversified  mutual fund.  Under the 1940 Act, a diversified
series or mutual  fund must  invest at least 75% of its  assets in cash and cash
items,  U.S.  Government  securities,  investment  company  securities and other
securities  limited as to any one issuer to not more than 5% of the total assets
of the mutual fund and not more than 10% of the voting securities of the issuer.

    Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of a business trust may, under certain
circumstances,   be  held   personally   liable  as  partners  for  the  trust's
obligations.  However,  the risk of a shareholder  incurring  financial  loss on
account of  shareholder  liability  is limited  to  circumstances  in which both
inadequate  insurance  existed  and the  trust  itself  was  unable  to meet its
obligations.

    Each  Portfolio  is a series of The Premium  Portfolios,  a trust  organized
under the laws of the State of New York. The Declaration of Trust of The Premium
Portfolios  provides that a Fund and other entities investing in a Portfolio are
each liable for all obligations of that  Portfolio.  It is not expected that the
liabilities of a Portfolio would ever exceed its assets.

VOTING AND OTHER RIGHTS: Each of Landmark Funds I and Landmark Funds II (in this
section called the "Trusts") may issue an unlimited number of shares, may create
new series of shares and may divide  shares in each  series into  classes.  Each
share of each Fund gives the shareholder one vote in Trustee elections and other
matters submitted to shareholders for vote. All shares of each series of a Trust
have equal voting  rights except that,  in matters  affecting  only a particular
Fund or class,  only  shares of that  particular  Fund or class are  entitled to
vote.

    At any meeting of  shareholders  of any Fund, a Shareholder  Servicing Agent
may vote any  shares of which it is the  holder of record  and for which it does
not  receive  voting   instructions   proportionately  in  accordance  with  the
instructions  it  receives  for all  other  shares  of  which  that  Shareholder
Servicing Agent is the holder of record.

    Each  Fund's  activities  are  supervised  by  its  Board  of  Trustees.  As
Massachusetts  business  trusts,  the  Funds  are not  required  to hold  annual
shareholder  meetings.  Shareholder  approval  will  usually be sought  only for
changes in a Fund's or Portfolio's  fundamental investment  restrictions and for
the election of Trustees under certain circumstances. Trustees may be removed by
shareholders under certain circumstances. Each share of each Fund is entitled to
participate equally in dividends and other distributions and the proceeds of any
liquidation  of that Fund except that,  due to the differing  expenses  borne by
each class,  dividends and proceeds  generally  will be lower for Class B shares
than for Class A shares.

CERTIFICATES: The Funds' Transfer Agent maintains a share register for
shareholders of record, i.e., Shareholder Servicing Agents. Share certificates
are not issued.

RETIREMENT  PLANS:  Investors  may be able to  establish  new accounts in a Fund
under one of several  tax-sheltered  plans.  Such plans include  IRAs,  Keogh or
Corporate  Profit-Sharing and Money-Purchase  Plans,  403(b) Custodian Accounts,
and certain other qualified pension and profit-sharing  plans.  Investors should
consult with their Shareholder Servicing Agents and tax and retirement advisers.

EXPENSES:  LFBDS  has  agreed  to pay the  ordinary  operating  expenses  of the
Balanced  Fund  and  the  Equity  Fund  (excluding  interest,  taxes,  brokerage
commissions,  litigation  costs or other  extraordinary  costs or  expenses  and
except  for the fees paid under the Fund's  Advisory  Agreement,  Administrative
Services   Agreement,   Distribution   Agreement   and   Shareholder   Servicing
Agreements).  LFBDS receives a fee from each of the Balanced Fund and the Equity
Fund,  in  addition  to  the  administrative  services  and  distribution  fees,
estimated and accrued daily and paid monthly in an amount such that  immediately
after any such payment the  aggregate  ordinary  operating  expenses of the Fund
would not on a per annum basis  exceed an agreed upon rate,  currently  1.02% of
the  Balanced  Fund's  average  daily net assets and 1.05% of the Equity  Fund's
average  daily net assets.  For the fiscal year ended  December 31, 1994,  LFBDS
paid  expenses  in the  amount in the left  column of the  following  table with
respect to the Balanced and Equity Funds, and the Balanced and Equity Funds paid
LFBDS under this agreement the amount in the center column. The expenses paid by
LFBDS are  expressed  as a percentage  of average  daily net assets in the right
column.

                                                                EXPENSES AS

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

    The  agreement  of  LFBDS  to pay the  ordinary  operating  expenses  of the
Balanced Fund and the Equity Fund,  as well as the  obligation of these Funds to
pay the fee to LFBDS,  may be terminated by either LFBDS or the applicable  Fund
upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days written notice.

    In  addition  to  amounts  payable  under  the  Advisory   Agreements,   the
Administrative  Services Plans and the Distribution  Plans, the Small Cap Equity
Fund is responsible  for its own expenses,  including,  among other things,  the
costs of  securities  transactions,  the  compensation  of Trustees that are not
affiliated with the Adviser,  government fees, taxes, accounting and legal fees,
expenses of communicating  with  shareholders,  interest expense,  and insurance
premiums.

    All fee waivers are voluntary and may be reduced or terminated at any time.

                                   APPENDIX
                          PERMITTED INVESTMENTS AND
                             INVESTMENT PRACTICES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS.  Each Fund may enter into  repurchase  agreements in
order to earn a return on temporarily  available cash. Repurchase agreements are
transactions  in which an  institution  sells the Fund a security  at one price,
subject  to the  Fund's  obligation  to  resell  and the  selling  institution's
obligation to repurchase that security at a higher price normally within a seven
day  period.  There may be delays  and risks of loss if the  seller is unable to
meet its obligation to repurchase.

    REVERSE REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS.  Each Fund may enter into reverse repurchase
agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of securities held by
the Fund  and the  agreement  by the Fund to  repurchase  the  securities  at an
agreed-upon  price, date and interest  payment.  When a Fund enters into reverse
repurchase  transactions,  securities  of a dollar  amount equal in value to the
securities  subject to the agreement will be maintained in a segregated  account
with the Fund's  custodian.  The  segregation  of assets could impair the Fund's
ability to meet its current  obligations  or impede  investment  management if a
large portion of the Fund's assets are involved.  Reverse repurchase  agreements
are considered to be a form of borrowing.

    LENDING OF  PORTFOLIO  SECURITIES.  Consistent  with  applicable  regulatory
requirements and in order to generate  additional income, each Fund may lend its
portfolio securities to broker-dealers and other institutional  borrowers.  Such
loans must be callable at any time and continuously  secured by collateral (cash
or U.S.  Government  securities)  in an amount not less than the  market  value,
determined  daily,  of the securities  loaned.  It is intended that the value of
securities loaned by a Fund would not exceed 30% of the Fund's total assets.

    In the event of the  bankruptcy  of the other party to a securities  loan, a
repurchase  agreement  or  a  reverse  repurchase  agreement,   the  Fund  could
experience  delays in  recovering  either the  securities  lent or cash.  To the
extent that, in the meantime,  the value of the securities lent has increased or
the value of the securities purchased has decreased, the Fund could experience a
loss.

    RULE 144A SECURITIES.  Each Fund may purchase restricted securities that are
not  registered for sale to the general  public if the Adviser  determines  that
there is a dealer or institutional  market in the securities.  In that case, the
securities will not be treated as illiquid for purposes of the Fund's investment
limitations. The Trustees will review these determinations. These securities are
known as "Rule 144A  securities",  because  they are traded  under SEC Rule 144A
among  qualified  institutional  buyers.  Institutional  trading  in  Rule  144A
securities is relatively  new, and the liquidity of these  investments  could be
impaired if trading in Rule 144A  securities  does not  develop or if  qualified
institutional  buyers become,  for a time,  uninterested in purchasing Rule 144A
securities.

    PRIVATE PLACEMENTS AND ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS.  Each Fund may invest up to 15%
of its net assets in securities for which there is no readily  available market.
These illiquid securities may include privately placed restricted securities for
which no institutional  market exists.  The absence of a trading market can make
it difficult to ascertain a market value for illiquid investments.  Disposing of
illiquid investments may involve time-consuming  negotiation and legal expenses,
and it may be difficult  or  impossible  for a Fund to sell them  promptly at an
acceptable price.

    "WHEN-ISSUED"  SECURITIES.  In order to ensure the  availability of suitable
securities,  each  Fund  may  purchase  securities  on a  "when-issued"  or on a
"forward  delivery" basis, which means that the securities would be delivered to
the Fund at a  future  date  beyond  customary  settlement  time.  Under  normal
circumstances,  the Fund takes delivery of the securities.  In general, the Fund
does not pay for the  securities  until  received  and does  not  start  earning
interest until the contractual  settlement date. While awaiting  delivery of the
securities,  the Fund establishes a segregated  account consisting of cash, cash
equivalents  or high quality debt  securities  equal to the amount of the Fund's
commitments to purchase "when-issued"  securities. An increase in the percentage
of the Fund's assets  committed to the purchase of securities on a "when-issued"
basis may increase the volatility of its net asset value.

    SECURITIES OF ISSUERS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.  Shareholders should be aware
that  investing in the equity and fixed income  markets of developing  countries
involves  exposure to economic  structures  that are generally  less diverse and
mature,  and to political  systems which can be expected to have less stability,
than those of developed  countries.  Historical  experience  indicates  that the
markets of  developing  countries  have been more  volatile  than the markets of
developed countries with more mature economies; such markets often have provided
higher rates of return and greater  risks.  These  heightened  risks include (i)
greater risks of expropriation,  confiscatory taxation and nationalization,  and
less social,  political and economic  stability;  (ii) the small current size of
markets  for  securities  of  issuers  based  in  developing  countries  and the
currently  low or  non-existent  volume  of  trading,  resulting  in a  lack  of
liquidity and in price  volatility;  (iii) certain  national  policies which may
restrict a Fund's investment  opportunities  including restrictions on investing
in issuers or industries  deemed sensitive to relevant national  interests;  and
(iv) the absence of developed  legal  structures  governing  private or non-U.S.
investment  and  private  property.  Such  characteristics  can be  expected  to
continue in the future.

    CURRENCY  EXCHANGE  CONTRACTS.  Forward currency  exchange  contracts may be
entered  into for each Fund for the  purchase or sale of non-U.S.  currency  for
hedging purposes against adverse rate changes or otherwise to achieve the Fund's
investment  objectives.  A currency exchange contract allows a definite price in
dollars to be fixed for securities of non-U.S.  issuers that have been purchased
or sold (but not settled) for the Fund.  Entering into such  exchange  contracts
may result in the loss of all or a portion of the benefits which otherwise could
have been  obtained from  favorable  movements in exchange  rates.  In addition,
entering into such  contracts  means  incurring  certain  transaction  costs and
bearing  the risk of  incurring  losses  if  rates do not move in the  direction
anticipated.

    LOWER-RATED DEBT SECURITIES.  Each Fund may purchase lower-rated  securities
(those  rated Baa or better by  Moody's  or BBB or better by S&P) which may have
poor protection of payment of principal and interest. These securities are often
considered  to be  speculative  and  involve  greater  risk of  default or price
changes than  securities  assigned a higher quality rating due to changes in the
issuer's  creditworthiness.  The market prices of these securities may fluctuate
more than  higher-rated  securities and may decline  significantly in periods of
general economic difficulty which may follow periods of rising interest rates.

    SHORT  SALES  "AGAINST  THE BOX." In a short  sale,  a Fund sells a borrowed
security  and  has a  corresponding  obligation  to the  lender  to  return  the
identical  security.  Each Fund may engage in short sales only if at the time of
the short sale it owns or has the right to obtain,  at no  additional  cost,  an
equal  amount of the security  being sold short.  This  investment  technique is
known as a short  sale  "against  the  box." A Fund  may make a short  sale as a
hedge,  when it  believes  that the value of a security  owned by the Fund (or a
security convertible or exchangeable for such security) may decline, or when the
Fund wants to sell the  security at an  attractive  current  price but wishes to
defer  recognition  of gain or loss for tax  purposes.  Not  more  than 40% of a
Fund's total assets would be involved in short sales "against the box."

    ASSET-BACKED  SECURITIES.  The Balanced  Fund may  purchase  mortgage-backed
securities  issued or  guaranteed as to payment of principal and interest by the
U.S.  Government  or one of its agencies and backed by the full faith and credit
of the U.S. Government,  including direct pass-through  certificates of GNMA, as
well as mortgage-backed securities for which principal and interest payments are
backed  by  the  credit  of   particular   agencies  of  the  U.S.   Government.
Mortgage-backed  securities are generally backed or  collateralized by a pool of
mortgages.   These  securities  are  sometimes  called  collateralized  mortgage
obligations or CMOs.

    Even if the U.S. Government or one of its agencies guarantees  principal and
interest  payments  of  a  mortgage-backed  security,  the  market  price  of  a
mortgage-backed security is not insured and may be subject to market volatility.
When interest rates decline,  mortgage-backed securities experience higher rates
of prepayment, because the underlying mortgages are refinanced to take advantage
of the lower  rates.  Thus the  prices  of  mortgage-backed  securities  may not
increase  as much as  prices  of other  debt  obligations  when  interest  rates
decline, and mortgage-backed securities may not be an effective means of locking
in  a  particular   interest   rate.  In  addition,   any  premium  paid  for  a
mortgage-backed security may be lost when it is prepaid.

Funds'  Prospectus,  dated  April 3,  1995,  by which  shares  of the  Funds are
offered. This Statement of Additional  Information should be read in conjunction
with the  Prospectus,  a copy of which may be obtained  by an  investor  without
charge by contacting the Funds'  Distributor  (see inside back cover for address

                                  1. THE FUNDS

         Landmark  Funds I ("Trust  I") and  Landmark  Funds II ("Trust  II" and
together with Trust I, the "Trusts") are each an open-end management  investment
company  that  was  organized  as  a  business  trust  under  the  laws  of  the
Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts  on April 13, 1984. This Statement of Additional
Information  describes  shares  of  the  Landmark  Balanced  Fund,  which  is  a
diversified  series of Trust I, and Landmark  Equity Fund and Landmark Small Cap
Equity  Fund,  which are  diversified  series of Trust  II.  References  in this
Statement of Additional  Information to the  "Prospectus" are to the Prospectus,
dated April 3, 1995, of the Trusts by which shares of the Funds are offered.

         The Trusts seek the investment objectives of the Funds by investing all
of their investable assets in, respectively,  the Balanced Portfolio, the Equity
Portfolio and the Small Cap Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolios").  The Portfolios
are series of The Premium  Portfolios (the "Portfolio  Trust") and are open-end,
diversified  management  investment  companies.  Each  Portfolio  has  the  same
investment  objectives and policies as the Fund that invests in it. Because each
of the Funds invests through its corresponding Portfolio, all references in this
Statement  of   Additional   Information   to  each  Fund  include  such  Fund's
corresponding Portfolio,  except as otherwise noted. In addition,  references to
the Trusts also include the Portfolio Trust, except as otherwise noted.

         Citibank,  N.A.  ("Citibank" or the "Adviser") is investment adviser to
each of the  Portfolios.  The Adviser  manages the investments of the Portfolios
from day to day in accordance with each  Portfolio's  investment  objectives and
policies.  The selection of investments  for the Portfolios and the way they are
managed  depend on the  conditions  and trends in the economy and the  financial
marketplaces.

         The  Landmark  Funds  Broker-Dealer  Services,  Inc.  ("LFBDS"  or  the
"Administrator"),  the  administrator  of each Fund (the  "Administrator"),  and
Signature  Financial Group (Cayman) Ltd.  ("SFG"),  either directly or through a
wholly-owned  subsidiary,  the  administrator  of each Portfolio (the "Portfolio
Administrator"),  supervise  the  overall  administration  of each Fund and each
Portfolio,  respectively. The Boards of Trustees of each Trust and the Portfolio
Trust  provide  broad  supervision  over  the  affairs  of  the  Funds  and  the
Portfolios,  respectively.  Shares of the Funds are continuously  sold by LFBDS,
the Funds' distributor (the "Distributor"),  only to investors who are customers
of a financial  institution,  such as a federal or  state-chartered  bank, trust
company,  savings and loan association or savings bank, or a securities  broker,
that  has  entered  into a  shareholder  servicing  agreement  with  the  Trusts
(collectively,  "Shareholder Servicing Agents"). Shares of each Fund are sold at
net asset value, plus, in the case of Class A Shares, a sales charge that may be
reduced on purchases involving substantial amounts and that may be eliminated in
certain circumstances. LFBDS receives a distribution fee from each Fund pursuant
to a Distribution Plan adopted with respect to each class of shares of the Funds
in  accordance  with Rule 12b-1 under the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940,  as
amended (the "1940 Act").  LFBDS also  receives a service fee from the assets of
each  Fund  represented  by Class B shares  pursuant  to the  Distribution  Plan
adopted with respect to Class B shares of the Funds.

              2. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS

                             INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

         The  investment  objectives  of the LANDMARK  BALANCED FUND are to earn
high current  income by investing  in a broad range of  securities,  to preserve
capital, and to provide growth potential with reduced risk.

         The investment  objective of the LANDMARK  EQUITY FUND and the LANDMARK
SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND is long-term  capital growth.  Dividend income, if any, is
incidental to this investment objective.

         The investment  objectives of each Fund may be changed without approval
by that Fund's  shareholders,  but shareholders  will be given written notice at
least 30 days  before any  change is  implemented.  Of  course,  there can be no
assurance that any Fund will achieve its investment objectives.

                              INVESTMENT POLICIES

         The Prospectus contains a discussion of the various types of securities
in which each Fund may invest and the risks  involved in such  investments.  The
following supplements the information contained in the Prospectus concerning the
investment objectives, policies and techniques of each Fund.

         Balanced   Fund's  policy  is  to  invest  its  assets,   under  normal
circumstances,   in  a  broadly   diversified   portfolio  of   income-producing
securities,   including  common  and  preferred  stocks,  bonds  and  short-term
obligations. Under normal circumstances, at least 25% of the Fund's total assets
is invested in fixed income securities.

         While it is the policy of each of Equity Fund and Small Cap Equity Fund
to invest its assets in a broadly  diversified  portfolio  of equity  securities
consisting mainly of common stocks of U.S. issuers, each Fund may also invest in
other types of securities  such as fixed income  securities and  convertible and
non-convertible bonds.

         The Trusts have also  adopted the  following  policies  with respect to
each Fund's investments in (i) warrants and (ii) securities of issuers with less
than three years' continuous  operation.  Each Trust's purchases of warrants for
each Fund will not exceed 5% of the  Fund's net  assets.  Included  within  that
amount,  but not exceeding 2% of its net assets,  may be warrants  which are not
listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock  Exchange.  Any such
warrants  will be valued at their market value  except that  warrants  which are
attached to securities at the time such  securities are acquired for a Fund will
be deemed to be without  value for the purpose of this  restriction.  The Trusts
will not invest more than 5% of each Fund's assets in companies which, including
their  respective  predecessors,  have  a  record  of  less  than  three  years'
continuous operation.

         The  Trusts  may  withdraw  the   investment   of  any  Fund  from  its
corresponding  Portfolio  at any time,  if the Board of  Trustees  of that Trust
determines  that it is in the best interests of the Fund to do so. Upon any such
withdrawal,  the Fund's assets would continue to be invested in accordance  with
the investment policies described herein with respect to that Fund. The policies
described above and those described below are not fundamental and may be changed
without shareholder approval.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

         Each of the Funds may invest in repurchase agreements collateralized by
securities in which that Fund may otherwise  invest.  Repurchase  agreements are
agreements by which a Fund  purchases a security and  simultaneously  commits to
resell that  security to the seller  (which is usually a member bank of the U.S.
Federal  Reserve  System or a member firm of the New York Stock  Exchange  (or a
subsidiary thereof)) at an agreed-upon date within a number of days (usually not
more than  seven)  from the date of  purchase.  The resale  price  reflects  the
purchase price plus an agreed-upon market rate of interest which is unrelated to
the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased  security.  A repurchase  agreement
involves  the  obligation  of the seller to pay the  agreed  upon  price,  which
obligation is in effect secured by the value of the underlying security, usually
U.S.  Government or Government  agency  issues.  Under the 1940 Act,  repurchase
agreements  may be considered to be loans by the buyer. A Fund's risk is limited
to the ability of the seller to pay the agreed-upon amount on the delivery date.
If the seller defaults,  the underlying security constitutes  collateral for the
seller's  obligation  to pay  although  that  Fund may  incur  certain  costs in
liquidating  this  collateral  and in  certain  cases  may not be  permitted  to
liquidate this collateral.  All repurchase  agreements entered into by the Funds
are fully collateralized, with such collateral being marked to market daily.

SECURITIES OF NON-U.S. ISSUERS

         Each of the  Funds  may  invest  in  securities  of  non-U.S.  issuers.
Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business  activities
are outside the United States may involve  significant risks not present in U.S.
investments.  For example, the value of such securities  fluctuates based on the
relative  strength of the U.S.  dollar.  In addition,  there is  generally  less
publicly available  information about non-U.S.  issuers,  particularly those not
subject to the  disclosure  and reporting  requirements  of the U.S.  securities
laws. Non-U.S.  issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting,  auditing
and financial  reporting  requirements  comparable  to those  applicable to U.S.
issuers.  Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers also involve the risk of
possible  adverse  changes  in  investment  or  exchange  control   regulations,
expropriation  or confiscatory  taxation,  limitation on the removal of funds or
other assets of a Fund,  political or financial  instability  or diplomatic  and
other  developments which would affect such investments.  Further,  economies of
other countries or areas of the world may differ  favorably or unfavorably  from
the economy of the U.S.

         It is  anticipated  that in most  cases the best  available  market for
securities  of non-U.S.  issuers  would be on exchanges  or in  over-the-counter
markets located outside the U.S. Non-U.S.  securities markets,  while growing in
volume and sophistication,  are generally not as developed as those in the U.S.,
and  securities  of  some  non-U.S.   issuers  (particularly  those  located  in
developing  countries)  may be less liquid and more volatile than  securities of
comparable U.S. companies. Non-U.S. security trading practices,  including those
involving  securities  settlement where a Fund's assets may be released prior to
receipt of payments,  may expose the Funds to  increased  risk in the event of a
failed  trade  or the  insolvency  of a  non-U.S.  broker-dealer.  In  addition,
non-U.S.   brokerage  commissions  are  generally  higher  than  commissions  on
securities traded in the U.S. and may be  non-negotiable.  In general,  there is
less overall  governmental  supervision  and  regulation of non-U.S.  securities
exchanges, brokers and listed companies than in the U.S.

         Investments in closed-end  investment  companies  which  primarily hold
securities of non-U.S. issuers may entail the risk that the market value of such
investments may be substantially  less than their net asset value and that there
would be duplication of investment management and other fees and expenses.

         American  Depositary  Receipts ("ADRs"),  European  Depositary Receipts
("EDRs"),  Global  Depositary  Receipts  ("GDRs") and other forms of  depositary
receipts for securities of non-U.S.  issuers  provide an alternative  method for
the  Funds  to make  non-U.S.  investments.  These  securities  are not  usually
denominated  in the same  currency  as the  securities  into  which  they may be
converted.  Generally,  ADRs, in registered  form,  are designed for use in U.S.
securities  markets and EDRs and GDRs,  in bearer form,  are designed for use in
European and global securities markets.  ADRs are receipts typically issued by a
U.S. bank or trust company  evidencing  ownership of the underlying  securities.
EDRs and GDRs are  European  and global  receipts,  respectively,  evidencing  a
similar  arrangement.  ADRs, EDRs and GDRs are subject to many of the same risks
that apply to other investments in non-U.S. securities.

         The Funds may invest in  securities  of  non-U.S.  issuers  that impose
restrictions  on transfer  within the United States or to United States persons.
Although  securities  subject to such  transfer  restrictions  may be marketable
abroad, they may be less liquid than securities of non-U.S.  issuers of the same
class that are not subject to such restrictions.

CURRENCY EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS

         Because each of the Funds may buy and sell  securities  denominated  in
currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and receive interest,  dividends and sale
proceeds  in  currencies  other than the U.S.  dollar,  the Funds may enter into
currency exchange transactions to convert U.S. currency to non-U.S. currency and
non-U.S.  currency to U.S. currency, as well as convert one non-U.S. currency to
another  non-U.S.  currency.  A Fund either enters into these  transactions on a
spot (i.e.,  cash) basis at the spot rate  prevailing  in the currency  exchange
markets, or uses forward contracts to purchase or sell non-U.S.  currencies. The
Funds may also enter into currency hedging transactions in an attempt to protect
the value of their assets as measured in U.S. dollars from  unfavorable  changes
in currency exchange rates and control regulations. (Although each Fund's assets
are valued daily in terms of U.S. dollars, the Trusts do not intend to convert a
Fund's holdings of non-U.S.  currencies into U.S.  dollars on a daily basis.) It
is not currently intended that the Funds speculate in currency exchange rates or
forward contracts.

         The Funds may convert  currency on a spot basis from time to time,  and
investors should be aware of the costs of currency conversion. Although currency
exchange  dealers do not charge a fee for  conversion,  they do realize a profit
based on the  difference  (the  "spread")  between  the prices at which they are
buying  and  selling  various  currencies.  Thus,  a dealer  may offer to sell a
currency at one rate,  while  offering a lesser  rate of exchange  should a Fund
desire to resell that currency to the dealer.

         A  forward  contract  involves  an  obligation  to  purchase  or sell a
specific  currency at a future date,  which may be any fixed number of days from
the date of the contract, agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time
of the contract.  These contracts are traded in the interbank  market  conducted
directly between  currency  traders  (usually large commercial  banks) and their
customers. A forward contract generally has no deposit requirement,  and no fees
or commissions are charged at any stage for trades.

         When a Fund  enters  into a  contract  for  the  purchase  or sale of a
security denominated in a non-U.S. currency, it may desire to "lock in" the U.S.
dollar  price of the  security.  By  entering  into a forward  contract  for the
purchase or sale, for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars,  of the amount of non-U.S.
currency involved in the underlying security transaction,  the Fund will be able
to  protect  against a possible  loss  resulting  from an adverse  change in the
relationship between the U.S. dollar and the non-U.S. currency during the period
between the date the security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment
is made or received.

         When the Adviser believes that the currency of a particular country may
suffer a substantial  decline against the U.S.  dollar,  a Fund may enter into a
forward  contract to sell,  for a fixed  amount of U.S.  dollars,  the amount of
non-U.S.  currency  approximating  the  value  of  some  or all  of  the  Fund's
securities  denominated in such non-U.S.  currency.  The precise matching of the
forward  contract  amounts  and the  value  of the  securities  involved  is not
generally  possible  since  the  future  value of such  securities  in  non-U.S.
currencies  changes as a consequence  of market  movements in the value of those
securities between the date the forward contract is entered into and the date it
matures.  The projection of a short-term  hedging strategy is highly  uncertain.
The Funds do not enter into such forward contracts or maintain a net exposure to
such  contracts  where the  consummation  of the  contracts  obligates a Fund to
deliver  an amount of  non-U.S.  currency  in excess of the value of the  Fund's
securities  or  other  assets   denominated  in  that  currency.   Under  normal
circumstances,  consideration  of the  prospect for  currency  parities  will be
incorporated   in  the   investment   decisions  made  with  regard  to  overall
diversification  strategies.  However, the Adviser believes that it is important
to have the flexibility to enter into such forward  contracts when it determines
that the best interests of a Fund will be served.

         The Funds generally would not enter into a forward contract with a term
greater than one year. At the maturity of a forward contract, a Fund will either
sell the security  and make  delivery of the  non-U.S.  currency,  or retain the
security  and  terminate  its  contractual  obligation  to deliver the  non-U.S.
currency by purchasing an  "offsetting"  contract with the same currency  trader
obligating  it to purchase,  on the same maturity  date,  the same amount of the
non-U.S.  currency.  If a Fund retains the security and engages in an offsetting
transaction,  the Fund will incur a gain or a loss (as  described  below) to the
extent  that there has been  movement  in  forward  contract  prices.  If a Fund
engages  in an  offsetting  transaction,  it may  subsequently  enter into a new
forward  contract to sell the non-U.S.  currency.  Should forward prices decline
during the period between the date a Fund enters into a forward contract for the
sale of the non-U.S. currency and the date it enters into an offsetting contract
for the  purchase of such  currency,  the Fund will realize a gain to the extent
the selling  price of the currency  exceeds the purchase  price of the currency.
Should forward prices  increase,  the Fund will suffer a loss to the extent that
the purchase price of the currency exceeds the selling price of the currency.

         It is  impossible  to forecast  with  precision  the market  value of a
Fund's securities at the expiration of a forward contract.  Accordingly,  it may
be necessary  for a Fund to purchase  additional  non-U.S.  currency on the spot
market if the market  value of the  security is less than the amount of non-U.S.
currency  the Fund is obligated to deliver and if a decision is made to sell the
security and make delivery of such currency.  Conversely, it may be necessary to
sell on the spot market some of the non-U.S.  currency received upon the sale of
the security if its market value exceeds the amount of such currency the Fund is
obligated to deliver.

         Each of the Funds may also purchase put options on a non-U.S.  currency
in order to protect against  currency rate  fluctuations.  If a Fund purchases a
put option on a non-U.S.  currency and the value of the U.S. currency  declines,
the Fund will have the right to sell the non-U.S. currency for a fixed amount in
U.S. dollars and will thereby offset, in whole or in part, the adverse effect on
the Fund which  otherwise would have resulted.  Conversely,  where a rise in the
U.S. dollar value of another currency is projected, and where a Fund anticipates
investing in  securities  traded in such  currency,  the Fund may purchase  call
options on the non-U.S. currency.

         The purchase of such options  could  offset,  at least  partially,  the
effects of adverse  movements in exchange  rates.  However,  the benefit to each
Fund from purchases of non-U.S.  currency  options will be reduced by the amount
of the  premium and related  transaction  costs.  In  addition,  where  currency
exchange rates do not move in the direction or to the extent anticipated, a Fund
could sustain losses on  transactions in non-U.S.  currency  options which would
require it to forgo a portion or all of the benefits of advantageous  changes in
such rates.

         The Funds may write options on non-U.S. currencies for hedging purposes
or otherwise to achieve their investment  objectives.  For example, where a Fund
anticipates  a  decline  in the  value of the U.S.  dollar  value of a  non-U.S.
security  due to adverse  fluctuations  in exchange  rates it could,  instead of
purchasing a put option,  write a call option on the relevant  currency.  If the
expected decline occurs,  the option will most likely not be exercised,  and the
diminution  in value of the  security  held by the Fund  will be  offset  by the
amount of the premium received.

         Similarly,  instead of  purchasing  a call  option to hedge  against an
anticipated  increase in the cost of a non-U.S.  security to be acquired because
of an increase in the U.S.  dollar value of the currency in which the underlying
security is  primarily  traded,  a Fund could write a put option on the relevant
currency which, if rates move in the manner projected,  will expire  unexercised
and allow the Fund to hedge such increased cost up to the amount of the premium.
However,  the writing of a currency  option will constitute only a partial hedge
up to the  amount  of the  premium,  and  only if  rates  move  in the  expected
direction.  If this does not occur,  the option  may be  exercised  and the Fund
would be required to  purchase or sell the  underlying  currency at a loss which
may not be offset by the amount of the  premium.  Through the writing of options
on  currencies,  a Fund also may be  required  to forgo all or a portion  of the
benefits which might  otherwise  have been obtained from favorable  movements in
exchange rates.

         Put and call options on non-U.S.  currencies  written by a Fund will be
covered by  segregation  of cash,  short-term  money market  instruments or high
quality debt securities in an account with the custodian in an amount sufficient
to discharge the Fund's  obligations with respect to the option,  by acquisition
of the non-U.S.  currency or of a right to acquire such currency (in the case of
a call option) or the  acquisition of a right to dispose of the currency (in the
case of a put option),  or in such other manner as may be in accordance with the
requirements  of any  exchange on which,  or the  counterparty  with which,  the
option is traded and applicable laws and regulations.

         Investing in ADRs  presents many of the same risks  regarding  currency
exchange  rates as investing  directly in securities  denominated  in currencies
other than the U.S.  dollar.  Because the securities  underlying ADRs are traded
primarily in non-U.S. currencies, changes in currency exchange rates will affect
the value of ADRs.  For example,  a decline in the U.S.  dollar value of another
currency in which  securities are primarily  traded will reduce the U.S.  dollar
value of such  securities,  even if their  value in the other  currency  remains
constant, and thus will reduce the value of the ADRs covering such securities. A
Fund may employ any of the above described non-U.S.  currency hedging techniques
to protect the value of its assets invested in ADRs.

         The Funds' dealings in non-U.S.  currency  contracts are limited to the
transactions  described  above. Of course,  a Fund is not required to enter into
such  transactions and does not do so unless deemed  appropriate by the Adviser.
It should  also be  realized  that these  methods of  protecting  the value of a
Fund's securities  against a decline in the value of a currency do not eliminate
fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities.  Additionally, although
such  contracts  tend to minimize the risk of loss due to a decline in the value
of the hedged  currency,  they also tend to limit any potential gain which might
result should the value of such currency increase.

         Each Fund has  established  procedures  consistent with policies of the
Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "SEC")  concerning  forward  contracts.
Since those policies currently recommend that an amount of a Fund's assets equal
to the amount of the purchase be held aside or  segregated to be used to pay for
the commitment,  each Fund is expected always to have cash, cash  equivalents or
high quality debt securities available sufficient to cover any commitments under
these contracts or to limit any potential risk.

SHORT SALES "AGAINST THE BOX"

         In  a  short  sale,  a  Fund  sells  a  borrowed  security  and  has  a
corresponding obligation to the lender to return the identical security. Each of
the Funds, in accordance with applicable investment restrictions,  may engage in
short  sales  only if at the time of the short  sale it owns or has the right to
obtain, at no additional cost, an equal amount of the security being sold short.
This investment technique is known as a short sale "against the box."

         In a short sale, the seller does not immediately deliver the securities
sold and is said to have a short  position in those  securities  until  delivery
occurs. If a Fund engages in a short sale, the collateral for the short position
is maintained  for the Fund by the custodian or qualified  sub-custodian.  While
the short sale is open, an amount of securities  equal in kind and amount to the
securities sold short or securities  convertible  into or exchangeable  for such
equivalent securities are maintained in a segregated account for the Fund. These
securities constitute the Fund's long position.

         The Funds do not engage in short sales  against the box for  investment
purposes.  A Fund may,  however,  make a short sale  against the box as a hedge,
when it believes that the price of a security may decline,  causing a decline in
the  value  of a  security  owned  by the Fund  (or a  security  convertible  or
exchangeable for such security),  or when the Fund wants to sell the security at
an attractive  current  price,  but also wishes to defer  recognition of gain or
loss for federal income tax purposes or for purposes of satisfying certain tests
applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code. In
such case, any future losses in the Fund's long position  should be reduced by a
gain in the short position.  Conversely, any gain in the long position should be
reduced  by a loss in the short  position.  The  extent to which  such  gains or
losses are reduced  depends upon the amount of the security sold short  relative
to the amount the Fund owns.  There are  certain  additional  transaction  costs
associated  with short sales  against the box, but the Funds  endeavor to offset
these costs with the income from the  investment  of the cash  proceeds of short
sales.

         The Adviser  does not expect  that more than 40% of each  Fund's  total
assets  would be involved in short sales  against the box.  The Adviser does not
currently intend to engage in such sales.

LENDING OF SECURITIES

         Consistent  with  applicable  regulatory  requirements  and in order to
generate income, each of the Funds may lend its securities to broker-dealers and
other  institutional  borrowers.  Such loans will usually be made only to member
banks of the U.S.  Federal  Reserve  System and to member  firms of the New York
Stock Exchange (and subsidiaries thereof).  Loans of securities would be secured
continuously  by  collateral  in  cash,  cash   equivalents  or  U.S.   Treasury
obligations  maintained  on a current  basis at an amount at least  equal to the
market value of the securities  loaned. The cash collateral would be invested in
high quality short-term instruments.  A Fund would have the right to call a loan
and obtain the securities  loaned at any time on customary  industry  settlement
notice  (which will not usually  exceed five days).  During the  existence  of a
loan,  a Fund would  continue  to receive  the  equivalent  of the  interest  or
dividends  paid by the issuer on the  securities  loaned and would also  receive
compensation based on investment of the collateral. The Fund would not, however,
have the right to vote any securities  having voting rights during the existence
of the loan, but would call the loan in  anticipation of an important vote to be
taken among holders of the  securities or of the giving or  withholding of their
consent on a material matter affecting the investment.  As with other extensions
of credit,  there are risks of delay in  recovery  or even loss of rights in the
collateral  should the borrower fail  financially.  However,  the loans would be
made only to entities deemed by the Adviser to be of good standing, and when, in
the judgment of the Adviser,  the  consideration  which can be earned  currently
from loans of this type justifies the attendant risk. If the Adviser  determines
to make loans,  it is not intended that the value of the securities  loaned by a
Fund would exceed 33 1/3% of the value of its total assets.

WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES

         Each of the Funds may purchase  securities on a  "when-issued"  or on a
"forward delivery" basis. It is expected that, under normal  circumstances,  the
applicable Fund would take delivery of such  securities.  When a Fund commits to
purchase a security on a "when-issued" or on a "forward delivery" basis, it sets
up procedures  consistent  with SEC  policies.  Since those  policies  currently
require that an amount of a Fund's assets equal to the amount of the purchase be
held aside or  segregated  to be used to pay for the  commitment,  the Fund will
always have cash, cash equivalents or high quality debt securities sufficient to
cover any commitments or to limit any potential risk.  However,  even though the
Funds do not intend to make such purchases for  speculative  purposes and intend
to adhere to the  provisions  of SEC  policies,  purchases of securities on such
bases may involve more risk than other types of purchases.  For example,  a Fund
may have to sell assets which have been set aside in order to meet  redemptions.
Also,  if the  Adviser  determines  it is  advisable  as a matter of  investment
strategy to sell the  "when-issued"  or "forward  delivery"  securities,  a Fund
would be required to meet its  obligations  from the then available cash flow or
the sale of securities, or, although it would not normally expect to do so, from
the sale of the "when-issued" or "forward delivery" securities themselves (which
may have a value greater or less than the Fund's payment obligation).

RULE 144A SECURITIES

         Each of the  Funds  may  purchase  securities  that are not  registered
("Rule  144A  securities")  under the  Securities  Act of 1933 (the  "Securities
Act"),  but can be offered and sold to  "qualified  institutional  buyers" under
Rule 144A under the Securities Act. However, none of the Funds invests more than
15% of its net assets in illiquid  investments,  which  includes  securities for
which there is no readily  available market,  securities  subject to contractual
restrictions  on resale and Rule 144A  securities,  unless the  Trustees  of the
Trusts  determine,  based on the  trading  markets  for the  specific  Rule 144A
security,  that it is liquid.  The Trustees may adopt guidelines and delegate to
the Adviser the daily function of determining  and monitoring  liquidity of Rule
144A  securities.  The Trustees,  however,  retain  oversight and are ultimately
responsible for the determinations.

         Since it is not  possible  to predict  with  assurance  exactly how the
market for Rule 144A  securities  will  develop,  the  Trustees  will  carefully
monitor  each  Fund's  investments  in Rule 144A  securities,  focusing  on such
factors, among others, as valuation,  liquidity and availability of information.
The  liquidity  of  investments  in Rule 144A  securities  could be  impaired if
trading in Rule 144A securities  does not develop or if qualified  institutional
buyers become for a time uninterested in purchasing Rule 144A securities.

                            INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

FUNDAMENTAL RESTRICTIONS

         The Trusts,  on behalf of the Funds, and the Portfolio Trust, on behalf
of the  Portfolios,  have each adopted the following  policies  which may not be
changed with respect to any Fund or Portfolio  without  approval by holders of a
majority of the outstanding  voting securities of that Fund or Portfolio,  which
as used in this Statement of Additional Information means the vote of the lesser
of (i) 67% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund or Portfolio
present  at a meeting at which the  holders of more than 50% of the  outstanding
voting  securities of the Fund or Portfolio are present or represented by proxy,
or (ii)  more  than  50% of the  outstanding  voting  securities  of the Fund or
Portfolio.  The term "voting  securities" as used in this paragraph has the same
meaning as in the 1940 Act.

         None of the Funds or Portfolios may:

         (1) Borrow money,  except that as a temporary measure for extraordinary
or  emergency  purposes  it may  borrow  in an amount  not to exceed  1/3 of the
current value of its net assets, including the amount borrowed (nor purchase any
securities at any time at which borrowings  exceed 5% of the total assets of the
Fund or  Portfolio,  taken  at  market  value).  It is  intended  that a Fund or
Portfolio  would borrow money only from banks and only to  accommodate  requests
for the  repurchase  of  shares  of the  Fund  or  beneficial  interests  in the
Portfolio while effecting an orderly liquidation of portfolio securities.

         (2) Make loans to other  persons  except (a) through the lending of its
portfolio  securities  and  provided  that any such  loans not exceed 30% of the
Fund's or Portfolio's total assets (taken at market value),  (b) through the use
of repurchase  agreements or the purchase of  short-term  obligations  or (c) by
purchasing  all or a portion of an issue of debt  securities  of types  commonly
distributed  privately to  financial  institutions.  The purchase of  short-term
commercial paper or a portion of an issue of debt securities which is part of an
issue to the public shall not be considered the making of a loan.

         (3)  Purchase  securities  of any issuer if such  purchase  at the time
thereof  would  cause  with  respect  to 75% of the total  assets of the Fund or
Portfolio  more than 10% of the voting  securities  of such issuer to be held by
the Fund or Portfolio,  except that,  with respect to each Fund,  the applicable
Trust may  invest  all or  substantially  all of the  Fund's  assets in  another
registered investment company having the same investment objectives and policies
and substantially the same investment  restrictions as those with respect to the
Fund (a "Qualifying Portfolio").

         (4)  Purchase  securities  of any issuer if such  purchase  at the time
thereof  would cause as to 75% of the Fund's or  Portfolio's  total  assets more
than 5% of the  Fund's or  Portfolio's  assets  (taken  at  market  value) to be
invested in the securities of such issuer (other than  securities or obligations
issued or guaranteed by the United  States,  any state or political  subdivision
thereof,  or any  political  subdivision  of any such  state,  or any  agency or
instrumentality  of the  United  States  or of  any  state  or of any  political
subdivision  of any  state),  except  that,  with  respect  to  each  Fund,  the
applicable Trust may invest all or  substantially  all of the Fund's assets in a
Qualifying Portfolio.

         (5) Concentrate its investments in any particular  industry,  but if it
is  deemed  appropriate  for  the  achievement  of  the  Fund's  or  Portfolio's
investment  objectives,  up to 25% of its assets, at market value at the time of
each investment, may be invested in any one industry.

         In addition, neither the Small Cap Equity Fund nor the Small Cap Equity
Portfolio may:

         (6) Underwrite securities issued by other persons,  except that all the
assets of the Fund may be invested in a Qualifying  Portfolio and except insofar
as the Fund or Portfolio may technically be deemed an underwriter under the 1933
Act in selling a security.

         (7)  Purchase  or  sell  real  estate  (including  limited  partnership
interests but excluding securities secured by real estate or interests therein),
interests in oil, gas or mineral leases,  commodities or commodity  contracts in
the ordinary course of business (each of the Fund and the Portfolio reserves the
freedom of action to hold and to sell real  estate  acquired  as a result of the
ownership of securities by the Fund or the Portfolio).

         (8) Issue any senior security (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act)
if such  issuance is  specifically  prohibited  by the 1940 Act or the rules and
regulations  promulgated  thereunder,  except as  appropriate to evidence a debt
incurred without violating Investment Restriction (1) above.

NON-FUNDAMENTAL RESTRICTION

         The Trusts, on behalf of the Balanced Fund and the Equity Fund, and the
Portfolio Trust, on behalf of the Balanced  Portfolio and the Equity  Portfolio,
have  each  adopted  the  following  non-fundamental  restriction,  which may be
changed by the Trusts with  respect to either such Fund or the  Portfolio  Trust
with respect to either such Portfolio  without the approval of  shareholders  or
holders of beneficial interests, as the case may be:

         None of the Balanced Fund and the Equity Fund or the Balanced Portfolio
and the Equity Portfolio may knowingly invest in securities which are subject to
legal or contractual  restrictions on resale (other than  repurchase  agreements
maturing  in not more than  seven days and other  than  securities  which may be
resold  pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act if the Board of Trustees of the
applicable  Trust or of the  Portfolio  Trust  determines  that a liquid  market
exists for such  securities)  if, as a result  thereof,  more than 15% of such a
Fund's or  Portfolio's  net assets  (taken at market value) would be so invested
(including  repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days), except that
a Trust may invest all or  substantially  all of either such Fund's  assets in a
Qualifying Portfolio.

STATE AND FEDERAL RESTRICTIONS

         In order to comply with certain state and federal statutes and policies
each Fund and each Portfolio does not as a matter of operating policy:

         (i) borrow  money for any purpose in excess of 10% of the net assets of
the Fund or Portfolio (taken at cost) (moreover,  the Fund or Portfolio will not
purchase  any  securities  for  the  Fund or  Portfolio  at any  time  at  which
borrowings  exceed 5% of the total  assets  of the Fund or  Portfolio  (taken at
market value)),

         (ii) pledge,  mortgage or hypothecate  for any purpose in excess of 10%
of the net assets of the Fund or Portfolio (taken at market value),

         (iii) sell any security which the Fund or Portfolio does not own unless
by virtue of the  ownership of other  securities  there is at the time of sale a
right to obtain securities, without payment of further consideration, equivalent
in kind and amount to the  securities  sold and  provided  that if such right is
conditional the sale is made upon the same conditions,

         (iv) invest for the purpose of exercising control or management, except
that all of the assets of the Fund may be invested in a Qualifying Portfolio,

         (v) purchase  securities issued by any registered  investment  company,
except  that  all of the  assets  of the Fund may be  invested  in a  Qualifying
Portfolio  and except by  purchase  in the open market  where no  commission  or
profit to a  sponsor  or  dealer  results  from  such  purchase  other  than the
customary broker's commission,  or except when such purchase, though not made in
the  open  market,  is part  of a plan of  merger  or  consolidation;  provided,
however,  that the Fund or Portfolio  will not purchase  the  securities  of any
registered  investment  company if such purchase at the time thereof would cause
more than 10% of the total assets of the Fund or  Portfolio  (taken in each case
at the greater of cost or market value) to be invested in the securities of such
issuers or would cause more than 3% of the outstanding  voting securities of any
such issuer to be held for the Fund or  Portfolio  (for  purposes of this clause
(v)  securities  of  non-U.S.  banks  shall be  treated  as  investment  company
securities,  except  that debt  securities  and  non-voting  preferred  stock of
non-U.S. banks are not subject to the 10% limitation described herein),

         (vi) invest more than 15% of the net assets of the Fund or Portfolio in
securities that are not readily marketable,  including debt securities for which
there is no established market and fixed time deposits and repurchase agreements
maturing in more than seven days,  except that all the assets of the Fund may be
invested in a Qualifying Portfolio,

         (vii)  purchase  or retain  any  securities  issued by an issuer any of
whose officers, directors, trustees or security holders is an officer or Trustee
of the Trusts or of the  Portfolio  Trust,  or is an officer or  director of the
Adviser,  if after the purchase of the  securities of such issuer by the Fund or
Portfolio,  one or more of such persons owns beneficially more than 1/2 of 1% of
the shares or securities,  or both,  all taken at market value,  of such issuer,
and such  persons  owning  more  than  1/2 of 1% of such  shares  or  securities
together own  beneficially  more than 5% of such shares or securities,  or both,
all taken at market value,

         (viii)  write,  purchase  or  sell  any  put  or  call  option  or  any
combination  thereof  or enter  into any  futures  contract,  except  that  this
restriction  shall  not  prevent  the  Fund  or  Portfolio  from  entering  into
transactions  involving  non-U.S.  currencies as described in the Prospectus and
this Statement of Additional Information,

         (ix) make short  sales of  securities  or  maintain  a short  position,
unless at all times  when a short  position  is open it owns an equal  amount of
such securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable,  without payment
of any further consideration,  for securities of the same issue as, and equal in
amount to, the  securities  sold short,  and unless not more than 10% of the net
assets of the Fund or Portfolio  (taken at market  value) is held as  collateral
for such sales at any one time (the Funds and Portfolios do not presently intend
to make such short sales for investment purposes).

         These policies are not  fundamental  and may be changed by each Fund or
Portfolio  without the  approval of its  shareholders  or holders of  beneficial
interests in response to changes in the various state and federal requirements.

PERCENTAGE AND RATING RESTRICTIONS

         If a percentage or rating  restriction  on investment or utilization of
assets set forth  above or referred  to in the  Prospectus  is adhered to at the
time  an  investment  is made or  assets  are so  utilized,  a later  change  in
percentage  resulting  from  changes in the value of the  securities  or a later
change in the rating of the securities  held for a Fund will not be considered a
violation of policy.

                           3. PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

         A total  rate of  return  quotation  for a Fund is  calculated  for any
period by (a)  dividing (i) the sum of the net asset value per share on the last
day of the  period  and the net  asset  value  per  share on the last day of the
period of shares  purchasable  with  dividends and capital  gains  distributions
declared  during such period with  respect to a share held at the  beginning  of
such period and with respect to shares purchased with such dividends and capital
gains  distributions,  by (ii) the public  offering price per share on the first
day of such period,  and (b) subtracting 1 from the result. Any annualized total
rate of return  quotation is calculated by (x) adding 1 to the period total rate
of return quotation  calculated  above, (y) raising such sum to a power which is
equal to 365 divided by the number of days in such period, and (z) subtracting 1
from the result.  Total rates of return may also be calculated on investments at
various sales charge levels or at net asset value. Any performance data which is
based on a reduced sales charge or net asset value per share would be reduced if
the maximum sales charge were taken into account.

         Any  current  yield  quotation  for a Fund  consists  of an  annualized
historical  yield,  carried at least to the nearest  hundredth  of one  percent,
based on a 30 calendar day or one month period and is  calculated by (a) raising
to the sixth  power the sum of 1 plus the  quotient  obtained  by  dividing  the
Fund's net  investment  income  earned  during the period by the  product of the
average daily number of shares  outstanding during the period that were entitled
to receive dividends and the maximum public offering price per share on the last
day of the period,  (b)  subtracting 1 from the result,  and (c) multiplying the
result by 2.

         Set forth  below is total  rate of return  information  for the Class A
shares of the  Balanced  Fund and the  Equity  Fund for the  periods  indicated,
assuming  that  dividends  and  capital  gains   distributions,   if  any,  were
reinvested,  and that at the  beginning of such periods the maximum sales charge
of 4.75% had been applicable to purchases of shares of the Fund.

         The  annualized  yields of the Class A shares of the Balanced  Fund and
the  Equity  Fund  for the  30-day  period  ended on  December  31,  1994  were,
respectively,  3.17% and 1.40%.  The Small Cap Equity Fund is newly formed,  and
therefore does not have any yields for 1994.

         Comparative  performance  information  may be used from time to time in
advertising shares of each Fund, including data from Lipper Analytical Services,
Inc. and other industry  sources and  publications.  From time to time each Fund
may compare its  performance  against  inflation  with the  performance of other
instruments against inflation,  such as FDIC-insured bank money market accounts.
In  addition,  advertising  for each Fund may  indicate  that  investors  should
consider diversifying their investment portfolios in order to seek protection of
the value of their  assets  against  inflation.  From time to time,  advertising
materials  for each Fund may refer to or  discuss  current or past  economic  or
financial conditions, developments and events. Each Fund's advertising materials
also may refer to the integration of the world's securities markets, discuss the
investment   opportunities   available  worldwide  and  mention  the  increasing
importance of an investment strategy including non-U.S. investments.


               4. DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE; VALUATION OF
           SECURITIES; ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION

         The net  asset  value  of each  share  of each  class  of each  Fund is
determined each day during which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading
("Business  Day").  As of the date of this Statement of Additional  Information,
the New York Stock  Exchange is open for trading  every  weekday  except for the
following  holidays  (or the days on which they are  observed):  New Year's Day,
Presidents'  Day,  Good  Friday,  Memorial  Day,  Independence  Day,  Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. This  determination is made once each day as
of the close of regular  trading on the Exchange  (currently  4:00 p.m.  Eastern
time) by adding the market value of all securities and other assets attributable
to a class of a Fund (including its interest in its Portfolio), then subtracting
the liabilities charged to the class, and then dividing the result by the number
of outstanding shares of the class. Per share net asset value of each class of a
Fund's  shares can be expected to differ  because the Class B shares bear higher
expenses  than  Class A shares.  The net asset  value per share of each class of
shares is effective for orders received and accepted by the Distributor prior to
its calculation.

         The  value of each  Portfolio's  net  assets  (i.e.,  the  value of its
securities and other assets less its liabilities,  including expenses payable or
accrued)  is  determined  at the same time and on the same days as the net asset
value per share of its corresponding Fund is determined.  The net asset value of
each  Fund's  investment  in the  Portfolio  in which it invests is equal to the
Fund's pro rata share of the net assets of the Portfolio.

         For purposes of calculating  net asset value per share,  all assets and
liabilities  initially  expressed in non-U.S.  currencies will be converted into
U.S.  dollars at the  prevailing  market rates at the time of valuation.  Equity
securities  are valued at the last sale price on the  exchange on which they are
primarily traded or on the NASDAQ system for unlisted national market issues, or
at the last quoted bid price for  securities in which there were no sales during
the day or for unlisted securities not reported on the NASDAQ system. Securities
listed on a non-U.S. exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price available
before  the time when net  assets  are  valued.  Bonds and  other  fixed  income
securities  (other  than  short-term  obligations)  are  valued  on the basis of
valuations furnished by a pricing service, use of which has been approved by the
Board of Trustees of each Trust. In making such valuations,  the pricing service
utilizes  both   dealer-supplied   valuations  and  electronic  data  processing
techniques that take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size
trading in similar groups of securities,  yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity,
type of issue, trading  characteristics and other market data, without exclusive
reliance upon quoted prices or exchange or over-the-counter  prices,  since such
valuations  are  believed  to  reflect  more  accurately  the fair value of such
securities.  Short-term  obligations (maturing in 60 days or less) are valued at
amortized  cost,  which  constitutes  fair value as  determined  by the Board of
Trustees of each Trust.  Futures contracts are normally valued at the settlement
price on the exchange on which they are traded.  Securities  for which there are
no such valuations are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or at
the direction of the Board of Trustees of each Trust.

         Trading in securities on most non-U.S.  exchanges and  over-the-counter
markets is  normally  completed  before the close of regular  trading on the New
York Stock  Exchange and may also take place on days on which the New York Stock
Exchange  is  closed.  If events  materially  affecting  the  value of  non-U.S.
securities  occur  between  the time when the  exchange on which they are traded
closes and the time when a Fund's net asset value is calculated, such securities
will be valued at fair value in accordance  with  procedures  established by and
under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees of each Trust.

         Interest income on long-term  obligations held for a Fund is determined
on the basis of interest accrued plus  amortization of "original issue discount"
(generally,  the difference  between issue price and stated  redemption price at
maturity)  and  premiums  (generally,  the excess of purchase  price over stated
redemption  price at maturity).  Interest  income on short-term  obligations  is
determined on the basis of interest accrued less amortization of any premium.

         Subject to compliance with applicable  regulations,  the Trusts and the
Portfolio  Trust have each  reserved  the right to pay the  redemption  price of
shares of the Fund or beneficial  interests in the Portfolio,  either totally or
partially,  by a distribution in kind of readily marketable  securities (instead
of cash).  The securities so  distributed  would be valued at the same amount as
that  assigned  to them in  calculating  the net asset  value for the  shares or
beneficial  interests being sold. If a holder of shares or beneficial  interests
received a  distribution  in kind,  such holder  could incur  brokerage or other
charges in converting the securities to cash.

         Each Trust or the  Portfolio  Trust may suspend the right of redemption
or postpone the date of payment for shares of a Fund or beneficial  interests in
a  Portfolio  more than seven days  during  any period  when (a)  trading in the
markets the Fund or Portfolio normally utilizes is restricted,  or an emergency,
as defined by the rules and  regulations of the SEC exists making  disposal of a
Fund's or Portfolio's  investments or  determination  of its net asset value not
reasonably  practicable;  (b) the New York Stock  Exchange is closed (other than
customary weekend and holiday  closings);  or (c) the SEC has by order permitted
such suspension.

LETTER OF INTENT

         If an investor anticipates purchasing $25,000 or more of Class A shares
of a Fund alone or in combination  with Class B shares of the Fund or any of the
classes of other  Landmark  Funds  within a 13-month  period,  the  investor may
obtain such shares at the same reduced sales charge as though the total quantity
were  invested  in one lump sum by  completing  a Letter  of Intent on the terms
described  below.  Subject to acceptance by the  Distributor  and the conditions
mentioned  below,  each  purchase  will  be  made  at a  public  offering  price
applicable to a single  transaction of the dollar amount specified in the Letter
of Intent. The shareholder or his or her Shareholder Servicing Agent must inform
the Distributor  that the Letter of Intent is in the effect each time shares are
purchased.  The shareholder makes no commitment to purchase  additional  shares,
but if his or her purchases  within 13 months plus the value of shares  credited
toward  completion  of the Letter of Intent do not total the sum  specified,  an
increased sales charge will apply as described  below. A purchase not originally
made pursuant to a Letter of Intent may be included under a subsequent Letter of
Intent  executed  within 90 days of such purchase if the Distributor is informed
in writing of this intent  within such 90-day  period.  The value of shares of a
Fund presently held, at cost or maximum offering price (whichever is higher), on
the date of the first purchase under the Letter of Intent,  may be included as a
credit  toward the  completion  of such  Letter,  but the reduced  sales  charge
applicable  to the  amount  covered  by  such  Letter  is  applied  only  to new
purchases.  Instructions  for  issuance of shares in the name of a person  other
than the person  signing the Letter of Intent must be  accompanied  by a written
statement from the Shareholder Servicing Agent stating that the shares were paid
for by the person signing such Letter. Neither income dividends nor capital gain
distributions taken in additional shares will apply toward the completion of the
Letter of Intent.  The value of any shares redeemed or otherwise  disposed of by
the  purchaser  prior to  termination  or completion of the Letter of Intent are
deducted from the total purchases made under such Letter of Intent.

         If the  investment  specified in the Letter of Intent is not  completed
(either  prior  to or by the  end  of  the  13-month  period),  the  Shareholder
Servicing  Agent will redeem,  within 20 days of the expiration of the Letter of
Intent,  an appropriate  number of the shares in order to realize the difference
between the reduced  sales charge that would apply if the  investment  under the
Letter of Intent had been  completed  and the sales  charge that would  normally
apply to the number of shares actually purchased.  By completing and signing the
Letter of Intent, the shareholder irrevocably appoints the Shareholder Servicing
Agent  his or  her  attorney  to  surrender  for  redemption  any or all  shares
purchased  under the  Letter of Intent  with full power of  substitution  in the
premises.

RIGHT OF ACCUMULATION

         A  shareholder  qualifies  for  cumulative  quantity  discounts  on the
purchase of Class A shares  when his or her new  investment,  together  with the
current offering price value of all holdings of that shareholder in the Landmark
Funds, reaches a discount level. See "Purchases" in the Prospectus for the sales
charges on quantity discounts.  For example, if a Balanced Fund shareholder owns
shares valued at $25,000 and  purchases an additional  $25,000 of Class A shares
of a Fund,  the sales  charge for the $25,000  purchase  would be at the rate of
4.00% (the rate  applicable to single  transactions  of $50,000).  A shareholder
must provide the Shareholder Servicing Agent with information to verify that the
quantity sales charge discount is applicable at the time the investment is made.

         The Trustees and  officers of the Trusts and the  Portfolio  Trust also

         As of February  28,  1995,  all  Trustees and officers as a group owned
less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Balanced Fund and the Equity Fund.
As of the same date,  more than 95% of the  outstanding  shares of the  Balanced
Fund and the Equity Fund were held of record by Citibank, N.A. or its affiliates
as Shareholder Servicing Agents of the Fund for the accounts of their respective
clients. As of the date of this Statement of Additional  Information,  there are
no shareholders of the Small Cap Equity Fund.

         The  Declaration of Trust of each of the Trusts and the Portfolio Trust
provides that each of the Trusts and the  Portfolio  Trust,  respectively,  will
indemnify its Trustees and officers against liabilities and expenses incurred in
connection  with  litigation  in which  they may be  involved  because  of their
offices with the Trusts or the Portfolio  Trust, as the case may be, unless,  as
to liability to the Trusts,  the Portfolio Trust or their respective  investors,
it is finally adjudicated that they engaged in willful  misfeasance,  bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless  disregard of the duties involved in their offices,
or unless with respect to any other matter it is finally  adjudicated  that they
did not act in good faith in the  reasonable  belief that their  actions were in
the best interests of the Trusts or the Portfolio  Trust, as the case may be. In
the case of settlement,  such indemnification will not be provided unless it has
been  determined  by a court or other body  approving  the  settlement  or other
disposition,  or by a reasonable  determination,  based upon a review of readily
available facts, by vote of a majority of  disinterested  Trustees of the Trusts
or the Portfolio  Trust,  or in a written opinion of independent  counsel,  that
such  officers or Trustees have not engaged in willful  misfeasance,  bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of their duties.

ADVISER

         Citibank  manages  the assets of each  Portfolio  pursuant  to separate
investment  advisory  agreements  (the "Advisory  Agreements").  Subject to such
policies as the Board of  Trustees of the  Portfolio  Trust may  determine,  the
Adviser manages the securities of each Portfolio and makes investment  decisions
for each  Portfolio.  The Adviser  furnishes  at its own  expense all  services,
facilities and personnel  necessary in connection with managing each Portfolio's
investments and effecting  securities  transactions for each Portfolio.  Each of
the  Advisory  Agreements  will  continue  in effect  until  August 19, 1996 and
thereafter  as  long as such  continuance  is  specifically  approved  at  least
annually  by the  Board of  Trustees  of the  Portfolio  Trust or by a vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Portfolio,  and,
in either case, by a majority of the Trustees of the Portfolio Trust who are not
parties to the Advisory  Agreement or interested persons of any such party, at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Advisory Agreement.

         Each of the Advisory  Agreements  provides  that the Adviser may render
services to others. Each Advisory Agreement is terminable without penalty on not
more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written notice by the Portfolio  Trust
when  authorized  either  by a vote  of a  majority  of the  outstanding  voting
securities of the  applicable  Portfolio or by a vote of a majority of the Board
of Trustees of the Portfolio  Trust, or by the Adviser on not more than 60 days'
nor less than 30 days' written notice, and will  automatically  terminate in the
event of its  assignment.  Each  Advisory  Agreement  provides  that neither the
Adviser nor its  personnel  shall be liable for any error of judgment or mistake
of law or for any loss arising out of any  investment or for any act or omission
in the execution of security transactions for the applicable  Portfolio,  except
for willful misfeasance,  bad faith or gross negligence or reckless disregard of
its or their obligations and duties under the Advisory Agreement.

         The  Prospectus  contains  a  description  of the fees  payable  to the
Adviser for services under the Advisory  Agreements.  For the fiscal years ended
December  31, 1992 and December 31, 1993 and for the four months ended April 30,
1994,  the fees paid to Citibank  under a prior  investment  advisory  agreement
between the Balanced  Fund and Citibank  were  $53,821,  $575,229 and  $340,160,
respectively.  For the period from May 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994 the fee paid
to Citibank under the Advisory  Agreement with respect to the Balanced Portfolio
was $640,795.

         For the fiscal years ended  December 31, 1992 and December 31, 1993 and
for the four months ended April 30,  1994,  the fees paid or payable to Citibank
under a prior investment advisory agreement between the Equity Fund and Citibank
were $50,399,  $532,148 (of which amount  $100,942 was  voluntarily  waived) and
$326,242 (of which $62,569 was voluntarily waived), respectively. For the period
from  May 1,  1994 to  December  31,  1994 the fee paid to  Citibank  under  the
Advisory Agreement with respect to the Equity Portfolio was $639,933.

ADMINISTRATOR

         Pursuant to  administrative  services  agreements (the  "Administrative
Services Agreements"), LFBDS and SFG provide the Trusts and the Portfolio Trust,
respectively,  with general  office  facilities  and LFBDS and SFG supervise the
overall  administration of the Trusts or the Portfolio Trust,  including,  among
other  responsibilities,  the  negotiation  of contracts and fees with,  and the
monitoring of performance and billings of, each Trust's or the Portfolio Trust's
independent  contractors and agents; the preparation and filing of all documents
required for  compliance  by the Trusts or the Portfolio  Trust with  applicable
laws and regulations;  and arranging for the maintenance of books and records of
the  Trusts  or  the  Portfolio  Trust.  The  Administrator  and  the  Portfolio
Administrator  provide  persons  satisfactory  to the Board of  Trustees  of the
Trusts or the  Portfolio  Trust to serve as Trustees  and officers of the Trusts
and the Portfolio Trust,  respectively.  Such Trustees and officers,  as well as
certain other employees and Trustees of the Trusts and the Portfolio  Trust, may
be directors, officers or employees of LFBDS, SFG or their affiliates.

         The  Prospectus  contains  a  description  of the fees  payable  to the
Administrator and the Portfolio  Administrator under the Administrative Services
Agreements.  For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1992, December 31, 1993 and
December  31,  1994,  the fees  paid by the  Balanced  Fund to LFBDS  under  the
Administrative  Services Agreement and a prior administrative services agreement
with  respect  to  the  Balanced  Fund  were  $10,080,  $212,727  and  $409,258,
respectively.  For the fiscal years ended  December 31, 1992,  December 31, 1993
and  December  31,  1994,  the fees paid by the Equity  Fund to LFBDS  under the
Administrative  Services Agreement and a prior administrative services agreement
with  respect to the Equity Fund were  $13,455,  $287,615 and $320,872 (of which
$126,917 was voluntarily waived),  respectively. For the period from May 1, 1994
through December 31, 1994, the Portfolio Trust paid the Portfolio  Administrator
$80,099 and $63,999 under the Administrative  Services Agreement with respect to
the Balanced Portfolio and the Equity Portfolio, respectively.

         The Administrative Services Agreement with each Trust acknowledges that
the names "Landmark" and "Landmark Funds" are the property of the  Administrator
and provides that if LFBDS ceases to serve as the  Administrator  of each Trust,
the Trust  would  change  its name and the name of the Fund so as to delete  the
word  "Landmark" or the words  "Landmark  Funds".  The  Administrative  Services
Agreements  with the Trusts also  provide  that LFBDS may render  administrative
services to others and may permit  other  investment  companies  to use the word
"Landmark" or the words "Landmark Funds" in their names.

         The  Administrative  Services  Agreement  with each Trust  continues in
effect with respect to each Fund if such continuance is specifically approved at
least annually by the Board of Trustees of each Trust or by a vote of a majority
of the  outstanding  voting  securities  of each Trust and, in either case, by a
majority  of the  Trustees  who are not parties to the  Administrative  Services
Agreement or interested persons of any such party. The  Administrative  Services
Agreement with each Trust terminates  automatically if it is assigned and may be
terminated  without  penalty by vote of a  majority  of the  outstanding  voting
securities  of each Trust or by either  party on not more than 60 days' nor less
than 30 days' written notice.  The  Administrative  Services Agreement with each
Trust also provides that neither LFBDS, as the Administrator,  nor its personnel
shall be liable  for any error of  judgment  or mistake of law or for any act or
omission in the  administration  or management of the Trust,  except for willful
misfeasance,  bad faith or gross  negligence in the  performance of its or their
duties or by reason of reckless disregard of its or their obligations and duties
under the Trust's Administrative Services Agreement.

         The Administrative Services Agreement with the Portfolio Trust provides
that SFG may  render  administrative  services  to  others.  The  Administrative
Services  Agreement with the Portfolio Trust  terminates  automatically if it is
assigned and may be  terminated  without  penalty by a vote of a majority of the
outstanding  voting  securities of the Portfolio Trust or by either party on not
more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days'  written  notice.  The  Administrative
Services  Agreement with the Portfolio  Trust also provides that neither SFG, as
the Portfolio Administrator,  nor its personnel shall be liable for any error of
judgment or mistake of law or for any act or omission in the  administration  or
management of the Portfolio Trust, except for willful misfeasance,  bad faith or
gross  negligence  in the  performance  of its or their  duties  or by reason of
reckless  disregard of its or their  obligations  and duties under the Portfolio
Trust's Administrative Services Agreement.

         LFBDS and SFG are  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  of  Signature  Financial
Group, Inc. SFG is a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Its
principal  place of business  is in George  Town,  Grand  Cayman,  British  West
Indies.

         Pursuant to a sub-administrative services agreement,  Citibank performs
such  sub-administrative  duties for each Trust and the Portfolio  Trust as from
time to time  are  agreed  upon by  Citibank  and,  respectively,  LFBDS or SFG.
Citibank's   sub-administrative  duties  may  include  providing  equipment  and
clerical  personnel  necessary  for  maintaining  each Trust's and the Portfolio
Trust's organization, participation in the preparation of documents required for
compliance  by each  Trust and the  Portfolio  Trust  with  applicable  laws and
regulations, the preparation of certain documents in connection with meetings of
Trustees  and  shareholders,  and  other  functions  which  would  otherwise  be
performed by the Administrator. For performing such sub-administrative services,
Citibank  receives  compensation as from time to time is agreed upon by LFBDS or
SFG, not in excess of the amount paid to LFBDS or SFG for its services under the
Administrative  Services Agreements with the Trusts and the Portfolio Trust. All
such compensation is paid by LFBDS or SFG.

DISTRIBUTOR

         LFBDS  serves as the  Distributor  of each  Fund's  shares  pursuant to
Distribution  Agreements with each Trust with respect to each class of shares of
each Fund. Unless otherwise terminated,  each Distribution  Agreement remains in
effect until August 19, 1996,  and  thereafter  will  continue from year to year
upon annual  approval by each  Trust's  Board of  Trustees,  or by the vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of each Trust and by the vote of a
majority  of the Board of  Trustees  of each  Trust who are not  parties  to the
Agreement or interested  persons of any such party,  cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on such approval. Each Agreement will terminate
in the event of its assignment, as defined in the 1940 Act.

         Each Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Distribution Plan") in
accordance  with Rule  12b-1  under the 1940 Act with  respect  to each class of
shares of the Funds constituting series of the Trust after concluding that there
is a reasonable  likelihood that the  Distribution  Plans will benefit each such
Fund and its shareholders. Each Distribution Plan with respect to Class A shares
provides that each Fund shall pay a  distribution  fee to the  Distributor at an
annual  rate not to  exceed  0.15%  of each  Fund's  average  daily  net  assets
represented by the Class A shares.  Each Distribution Plan with respect to Class
B shares provides that each Fund will pay the Distributor a distribution  fee at
annual rate not to exceed 0.75% of the average daily net assets  represented  by
the Class B shares.  The  Distributor  receives  the  distribution  fees for its
services under the  Distribution  Agreements in connection with the distribution
of each  Fund's  shares of each class  (exclusive  of any  advertising  expenses
incurred by the  Distributor  in  connection  with the sale of Class A shares of
each Fund). The Distributor may use all or any portion of such  distribution fee
to pay for  expenses  of  printing  prospectuses  and  reports  used  for  sales
purposes,  expenses  of  the  preparation  and  printing  of  sales  literature,
commissions to dealers who sell shares of the  applicable  class of the Fund and
other such distribution-related expenses.

         Each Fund is also  permitted to pay the  Distributor a service fee with
respect  to the  Class A shares at an  annual  rate not to exceed  0.25% of each
Fund's  average  daily  net  assets  represented  by the  Class A shares  and an
additional  service fee with respect to the Class B shares at an annual rate not
to exceed 0.25% of each Fund's average daily net assets represented by the Class
B shares.

         Each  Distribution Plan with respect to the Class A Shares also permits
the Fund to pay the  Distributor  an additional  fee (not to exceed 0.05% of the
average  daily  net  assets  of the Class A  shares)  in  anticipation  of or as
reimbursement  for print or electronic media  advertising  expenses  incurred in
connection with the sale of Class A shares.

         The  Distribution  Plans  continue  in  effect if such  continuance  is
specifically  approved  at least  annually  by a vote of both a majority of each
Trust's Trustees and a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons"
of each  Trust and who have no  direct or  indirect  financial  interest  in the
operation of the  Distribution  Plans or in any  agreement  related to the Plans
(for purposes of this paragraph  "Qualified  Trustees").  Each Distribution Plan
requires that the respective  Trust and the Distributor  provide to the Board of
Trustees, and the Board of Trustees review, at least quarterly, a written report
of the amounts expended (and the purposes therefor) under the Distribution Plan.
Each Distribution Plan further provides that the selection and nomination of the
Qualified Trustees is committed to the discretion of the disinterested  Trustees
(as  defined  in the 1940 Act) then in  office.  The  Distribution  Plans may be
terminated with respect to any class of shares of any Fund at any time by a vote
of a majority of the  respective  Trust's  Qualified  Trustees or by a vote of a
majority of the  outstanding  voting  securities  of that class of shares of the
Fund. The Distribution  Plan applicable to a class of shares of any Fund may not
be amended to  increase  materially  the amount of a Fund's  permitted  expenses
thereunder  without the approval of a majority of the outstanding  securities of
that class of shares of that Fund and may not be materially  amended in any case
without a vote of a majority of both the Trustees and  Qualified  Trustees.  The
Distributor will preserve copies of any plan,  agreement or report made pursuant
to each  Distribution Plan for a period of not less than six years from the date
of the Plan,  and for the first two years the  Distributor  will  preserve  such
copies in an easily accessible place.

         As contemplated by the Distribution  Plans,  LFBDS acts as the agent of
each Trust in  connection  with the offering of shares of the Funds  pursuant to
the Distribution Agreements.  After the prospectuses and periodic reports of the
Funds have been prepared, set in type and mailed to existing  shareholders,  the
Distributor  pays for the printing and  distribution of copies thereof which are
used in  connection  with the  offering  of shares  of the Funds to  prospective
investors.  The  Prospectus  contains  a  description  of  fees  payable  to the
Distributor  under  the  Distribution  Agreement.  For the  fiscal  years  ended
December  31,  1992,  December  31, 1993 and  December 31, 1994 the fees paid to
LFBDS under the  Distribution  Agreement  with respect to the Balanced Fund were
$20,183, $71,904 and $122,246,  respectively, no portion of which was applicable
to  reimbursement  for expenses  incurred in connection with print or electronic
media  advertising.  For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1992,  December 31,
1993 and  December  31,  1994,  the fees paid to LFBDS  under  the  Distribution
Agreement  with  respect to the Equity Fund were  $15,120,  $53,215 and $96,083,
respectively,  no portion of which was applicable to reimbursement  for expenses
incurred in connection with print or electronic media advertising.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AGENTS, TRANSFER AGENT AND CUSTODIAN

         Each  Trust  has   adopted  an   administrative   services   plan  (the
"Administrative   Services  Plan")  after  having  concluded  that  there  is  a
reasonable  likelihood  that the  Administrative  Services Plan will benefit the
Funds and their  shareholders.  The  Administrative  Services Plans provide that
each Trust may obtain the  services of an  administrator,  a transfer  agent,  a
custodian  and one or more  Shareholder  Servicing  Agents,  and may enter  into
agreements  providing  for the  payment  of fees for such  services.  Under each
Trust's Administrative  Services Plan, the total of the fees paid from a Fund to
the Trust's  Administrator and Shareholder Servicing Agents may not exceed 0.65%
of the Fund's  average  daily net assets on an  annualized  basis for the Fund's
then-current  fiscal year. Any distribution fees or service fees (other than any
fee  concerning  electronic  or  other  media  advertising)  payable  under  the
Distribution  Plans for the Class A shares of the  Balanced and Equity Funds are
included in this  percentage  limitation for those shares.  This limitation with
respect to the Class A shares of the Small Cap  Equity  Fund and for the Class B
shares of each Fund, does not include any amounts payable under the Distribution
Plans for such shares. Each Administrative  Services Plan continues in effect if
such continuance is specifically  approved at least annually by a vote of both a
majority of the Trustees and a majority of the Trustees who are not  "interested
persons" of the  respective  Trust and who have no direct or indirect  financial
interest  in  the  operation  of  the  Administrative  Services  Plan  or in any
agreement  related  to such  Plan (for  purposes  of this  paragraph  "Qualified
Trustees"). Each Administrative Services Plan requires that the respective Trust
provide to its Board of  Trustees  and the Board of  Trustees  review,  at least
quarterly,  a written report of the amounts expended (and the purposes therefor)
under the Administrative Services Plan. Each Administrative Services Plan may be
terminated at any time by a vote of a majority of the Qualified  Trustees of the
respective  Trust or as to each Fund by a vote of a majority of the  outstanding
voting  securities  of the Fund.  Each  Administrative  Services Plan may not be
materially  amended  in any  case  without  a vote of the  majority  of both the
Trustees and the Qualified Trustees.

         Each  Trust has  entered  into a  shareholder  servicing  agreement  (a
"Servicing  Agreement")  with each  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent and a Transfer
Agency and Service  Agreement  with State Street Bank and Trust Company  ("State
Street")  pursuant to which State Street (or its affiliate  State Street Canada,
Inc.) acts as  transfer  agent for each  Fund.  Each  Trust has  entered  into a
Custodian  Agreement  with  Investors  Bank & Trust  Company  ("IBT") and a Fund
Accounting  Agreement with Signature Financial Services,  Inc. ("SFSI") pursuant
to which custodial and fund accounting services,  respectively, are provided for
each Fund. See "Shareholder Servicing Agents" and "Transfer Agent, Custodian and
Fund  Accountant"  in the Prospectus  for  additional  information,  including a
description of fees paid to the Shareholder Servicing Agents under the Servicing
Agreements.  For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1993 and December 31, 1994,
the  aggregate   fees  payable  to  Shareholder   Servicing   Agents  under  the
Administrative Services Plan with respect to the Balanced Fund were $575,229 (of
which  $215,711 was  voluntarily  waived) and  $977,967  (of which  $366,738 was
voluntarily waived),  respectively. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1993
and December 31,  1994,  the  aggregate  fees payable to  Shareholder  Servicing
Agents under the  Administrative  Services  Plan with respect to the Equity Fund
were $425,718 (of which $159,645 was voluntarily  waived) and $768,306 (of which
$287,894 was voluntarily waived), respectively.

         The Portfolio  Trust has also adopted an  administrative  services plan
(the "Portfolio  Administrative  Plan"), which provides that the Portfolio Trust
may obtain the services of an  administrator,  a transfer  agent and a custodian
and may  enter  into  agreements  providing  for the  payment  of fees  for such
services.  Under the Portfolio  Administrative Plan, the administrative services
fee payable to the Portfolio Administrator from a Portfolio may not exceed 0.05%
of the  Portfolio's  average  daily net  assets on an  annualized  basis for its
then-current fiscal year.

         The  Portfolio   Administrative   Plan  continues  in  effect  if  such
continuance  is  specifically  approved  at least  annually  by a vote of both a
majority of the  Portfolio  Trust's  Trustees  and a majority  of the  Portfolio
Trust's Trustees who are not "interested  persons" of the Portfolio and who have
no direct or indirect  financial  interest  in the  operation  of the  Portfolio
Administrative  Plan or in any  agreement  related to such Plan (for purposes of
this paragraph "Qualified Trustees"). The Portfolio Administrative Plan requires
that the  Portfolio  Trust  provide  to the Board of  Trustees  and the Board of
Trustees review,  at least  quarterly,  a written report of the amounts expended
(and the  purposes  therefor)  under  the  Portfolio  Administrative  Plan.  The
Portfolio  Administrative  Plan may not be amended to  increase  materially  the
amount of permitted  expenses  thereunder  without the approval of a majority of
the  outstanding  voting  securities  of the  Portfolio  Trust  and  may  not be
materially  amended  in any  case  without  a vote of the  majority  of both the
Portfolio Trust's Trustees and the Portfolio Trust's Qualified Trustees.

         The  Portfolio  Trust,  on behalf of the  Portfolios,  has entered into
Custodian  Agreements  with IBT pursuant to which IBT acts as custodian for each
Portfolio.  The Portfolio  Trust, on behalf of the Portfolios,  has entered into
Fund  Accounting  Agreements  with SFSI  pursuant  to which SFSI  provides  fund
accounting services for each Portfolio. Pursuant to separate Transfer Agency and
Service  Agreements with the Portfolio Trust, on behalf of the Portfolios,  SFSI
provides transfer agency services to each Portfolio.  See "Shareholder Servicing
Agents" and "Transfer  Agent,  Custodian and Fund  Accountant" in the Prospectus
for additional information.

         The principal  business  address of IBT is One Lincoln  Plaza,  Boston,
Massachusetts  02111.  The  principal  business  address of SFSI is 6 St.  James
Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02116.

AUDITORS

         Price Waterhouse LLP are the independent  certified public  accountants
for the Trusts,  providing audit services and assistance and  consultation  with
respect  to the  preparation  of  filings  with the SEC.  The  address  of Price
Waterhouse  LLP  is 160  Federal  Street,  Boston,  Massachusetts  02110.  Price
Waterhouse are the chartered accountants for the Portfolio Trust. The address of
Price  Waterhouse is Suite 3000, 1 First Canadian  Place,  Toronto,  Ontario M5X
1H7, Canada.

                           6. PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

         Each  Trust  trades  securities  for a  Fund  if  it  believes  that  a
transaction  net of costs  (including  custodian  charges) will help achieve the
Fund's investment objectives. Changes in the Fund's investments are made without
regard to the length of time a security  has been held,  or whether a sale would
result in the recognition of a profit or loss.  Therefore,  the rate of turnover
is not a limiting factor when changes are appropriate. The turnover rate for the
common stock portion of the Balanced Fund is expected to be  approximately  100%
annually.  The turnover  rate for the Equity Fund is not expected to exceed 100%
annually.  The  turnover  rate for the Small Cap Equity Fund is not  expected to
exceed 200% annually. Specific decisions to purchase or sell securities for each
Fund are made by a  portfolio  manager who is an employee of the Adviser and who
is appointed and supervised by its senior  officers.  The portfolio  manager may
serve other clients of the Adviser in a similar capacity.

         The primary consideration in placing portfolio securities  transactions
with  broker-dealers for execution is to obtain and maintain the availability of
execution  at  the  most  favorable  prices  and in the  most  effective  manner
possible.   The   Adviser   attempts  to  achieve   this  result  by   selecting
broker-dealers to execute  transactions on behalf of each Fund and other clients
of the  Adviser  on the basis of their  professional  capability,  the value and
quality  of  their  brokerage  services,   and  the  level  of  their  brokerage
commissions.  In the case of securities  traded in the  over-the-counter  market
(where no stated  commissions  are paid but the prices include a dealer's markup
or  markdown),  the Adviser  normally  seeks to deal  directly  with the primary
market makers, unless in its opinion, best execution is available elsewhere.  In
the case of securities purchased from underwriters,  the cost of such securities
generally includes a fixed underwriting  commission or concession.  From time to
time,  soliciting  dealer fees are  available  to the Adviser on the tender of a
Fund's securities in so-called tender or exchange offers. Such soliciting dealer
fees are in effect  recaptured for the Fund by the Adviser.  At present no other
recapture arrangements are in effect.

         Under the Advisory Agreements, in connection with the selection of such
brokers or dealers  and the placing of such  orders,  the Adviser is directed to
seek for each Fund in its best judgment, prompt execution in an effective manner
at the most  favorable  price.  Subject to this  requirement of seeking the most
favorable  price,  securities may be bought from or sold to  broker-dealers  who
have furnished  statistical,  research and other  information or services to the
Adviser or the Funds, subject to any applicable laws, rules and regulations.

         The investment advisory fee that each Fund pays to the Adviser will not
be reduced as a consequence  of the Adviser's  receipt of brokerage and research
services.  While such  services  are not  expected to reduce the expenses of the
Adviser,  the  Adviser  would,  through  the  use of  the  services,  avoid  the
additional  expenses  which would be  incurred  if it should  attempt to develop
comparable information through its own staff.

         In certain  instances  there may be securities  that are suitable as an
investment for a Fund as well as for one or more of the Adviser's other clients.
Investment  decisions for each Fund and for the Adviser's other clients are made
with a view to achieving their respective investment objectives.  It may develop
that a particular  security is bought or sold for only one client even though it
might be held by, or bought or sold for, other clients.  Likewise,  a particular
security  may be bought for one or more  clients  when one or more  clients  are
selling the same security.  Some  simultaneous  transactions are inevitable when
several clients  receive  investment  advice from the same  investment  adviser,
particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment objectives of
more than one client. When two or more clients are simultaneously engaged in the
purchase  or sale of the same  security,  the  securities  are  allocated  among
clients in a manner  believed to be equitable to each. It is recognized  that in
some cases this system  could  adversely  affect the price of or the size of the
position  obtainable  in a security for a Fund.  When  purchases or sales of the
same security for a Fund and for other  portfolios  managed by the Adviser occur
contemporaneously,  the  purchase or sale orders may be  aggregated  in order to
obtain any price advantages available to large volume purchases or sales.

         For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1992 and December 31, 1993, the
Balanced Fund paid brokerage  commissions in the amounts of $24,930 and $97,999,
respectively;  for the period  January 1, 1994 to April 30,  1994,  the Balanced
Fund paid  brokerage  commissions  of $8,940  and for the  period May 1, 1994 to
December  31,  1994,  the  Balanced  Portfolio  paid  brokerage  Commissions  of
$280,300.  For the fiscal  years ended  December 31, 1992 and December 31, 1993,
the Equity  Fund paid  brokerage  commissions  in the  amounts  of  $28,867  and
$124,360,  respectively;  for the period  January 1, 1994 to April 30, 1994, the
Equity Fund paid brokerage  commissions of $9,780 and for the period May 1, 1994
to December  31,  1994,  the Equity  Portfolio  paid  brokerage  Commissions  of
$342,356.

            7. DESCRIPTION OF SHARES, VOTING RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES

         Each  Trust's  Declaration  of Trust  permits the  Trustees to issue an
unlimited number of full and fractional  Shares of Beneficial  Interest (without
par value) of each series and to divide or combine the shares of any series into
a greater or lesser number of shares of that series without thereby changing the
proportionate beneficial interests in that series. While there are at present no
series of Trust I other than the Balanced Fund, and one series of Trust II other
than the Equity and Small Cap Equity Funds, each Trust has reserved the right to
create and issue  additional  series and  classes of shares.  Each share of each
class of each Fund represents an equal  proportionate  interest in the Fund with
each other share of that class. Shares of each series participate equally in the
earnings, dividends and distribution of net assets of the particular series upon
liquidation or dissolution  (except for any differences  among classes of shares
in a series).  Shares of each series are entitled to vote  separately to approve
advisory  agreements or changes in investment  policy,  but shares of all series
may vote together in the election or selection of Trustees and  accountants  for
the Trusts. In matters affecting only a particular Fund or class, only shares of
that particular Fund or class are entitled to vote.

         Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share held on matters on
which  they  are  entitled  to  vote.  Shareholders  in each  Trust  do not have
cumulative  voting  rights,  and  shareholders  owning  more  than  50%  of  the
outstanding  shares of each Trust may elect all of the  Trustees of the Trust if
they choose to do so and in such event the other shareholders in the Trust would
not be able to elect any Trustee. Each Trust is not required to hold, and has no
present  intention of holding,  annual meetings of  shareholders  but each Trust
will hold special meetings of shareholders  when in the judgment of the Trustees
it  is  necessary  or  desirable  to  submit  matters  for a  shareholder  vote.
Shareholders have, under certain  circumstances  (e.g., upon the application and
submission of certain specified  documents to the Trustees by a specified number
of shareholders), the right to communicate with other shareholders in connection
with  requesting  a meeting of  shareholders  for the purpose of removing one or
more Trustees.  Shareholders also have under certain  circumstances the right to
remove one or more Trustees  without a meeting by a declaration  in writing by a
specified  number of  shareholders.  No material  amendment  may be made to each
Trust's  Declaration of Trust without the  affirmative  vote of the holders of a
majority of the  outstanding  shares of each series  affected by the  amendment.
(See    "Investment    Objectives,    Policies   and    Restrictions--Investment
Restrictions".)  At any  meeting  of  shareholders  of any Fund,  a  Shareholder
Servicing  Agent may vote any shares of which it is the holder of record and for
which it does not receive voting instructions proportionately in accordance with
the  instructions  it received  for all other  shares of which that  Shareholder
Servicing Agent is the holder of record. Shares have no preference, pre-emptive,
conversion  or  similar  rights.   Shares,  when  issued,  are  fully  paid  and
non-assessable, except as set forth below.

         Each  Trust may enter  into a merger or  consolidation,  or sell all or
substantially  all of its  assets  (or all or  substantially  all of the  assets
belonging  to any series of the Trust),  if approved by a vote of the holders of
two-thirds of the Trust's  outstanding  shares,  voting as a single class, or of
the  affected  series  of the  Trust,  as the  case may be,  except  that if the
Trustees of each Trust recommend such sale of assets,  merger or  consolidation,
the  approval by vote of the  holders of a majority  of the Trust's  outstanding
shares would be sufficient.  Each Trust or any series of each Trust, as the case
may be, may be terminated (i) by a vote of a majority of the outstanding  voting
securities  of the  Trust or the  affected  series  or (ii) by the  Trustees  by
written notice to the shareholders of the Trust or the affected  series.  If not
so terminated, each Trust will continue indefinitely.

         Share certificates will not be issued.

         Each Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a  "Massachusetts
business trust". Under Massachusetts law,  shareholders of such a business trust
may, under certain circumstances,  be held personally liable as partners for its
obligations  and  liabilities.  However,  the Declaration of Trust of each Trust
contains an express disclaimer of shareholder  liability for acts or obligations
of the Trust and provides for  indemnification and reimbursement of expenses out
of Trust property for any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations
of the Trust.  The  Declaration  of Trust of each Trust also  provides  that the
Trust may maintain appropriate  insurance (e.g., fidelity bonding and errors and
omissions  insurance)  for  the  protection  of  the  Trust,  its  shareholders,
Trustees,  officers,  employees  and  agents  covering  possible  tort and other
liabilities. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account
of shareholder  liability is limited to  circumstances  in which both inadequate
insurance existed and the Trust itself was unable to meet its obligations.

         Each Trust's  Declaration of Trust further provides that obligations of
the Trust  are not  binding  upon the  Trustees  individually  but only upon the
property of the Trust and that the Trustees will not be liable for any action or
failure to act, but nothing in the Declaration of Trust of each Trust protects a
Trustee  against any liability to which he or she would  otherwise be subject by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard
of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

         By virtue of the combined Prospectus for the Funds, a Fund organized as
a series of one of the Trusts might share in liabilities,  if any, arising under
federal and state  securities  laws with respect to disclosure in the Prospectus
concerning another Fund organized as a series of the other Trust.

         The Portfolios are series of the Portfolio Trust,  organized as a trust
under the laws of the State of New York.  The Portfolio  Trust's  Declaration of
Trust  provides  that  investors  in  the  Portfolios  (e.g.,  other  investment
companies  (including  the  corresponding  Funds),  insurance  company  separate
accounts  and  common  and  commingled  trust  funds)  are each  liable  for all
obligations  of the  Portfolios.  However,  the  risk of any Fund  that  invests
through a Portfolio  incurring  financial  loss on account of such  liability is
limited to  circumstances  in which both  inadequate  insurance  existed and the
applicable  Portfolio  itself  was  unable  to meet its  obligations.  It is not
expected that the liabilities of any Portfolio would ever exceed its assets.

         Each investor in a Portfolio, including the corresponding Fund, may add
to or withdraw from its investment in the applicable  Portfolio on each Business
Day. As of the close of regular  trading on each Business Day, the value of each
investor's  beneficial  interest in each  Portfolio is determined by multiplying
the net asset value of the Portfolio by the percentage,  effective for that day,
that represents that investor's share of the aggregate  beneficial  interests in
the Portfolio.  Any additions or withdrawals that are to be effected on that day
are  then  effected.  The  investor's  percentage  of the  aggregate  beneficial
interests in the Portfolio is then  re-computed as the  percentage  equal to the
fraction (i) the numerator of which is the value of such  investor's  investment
in the  Portfolio as of the close of regular  trading on such day plus or minus,
as the case may be,  the  amount of any  additions  to or  withdrawals  from the
investor's  investment  in the  Portfolio  effected  on such  day,  and (ii) the
denominator of which is the aggregate net asset value of the Portfolio as of the
close of  regular  trading  on such day plus or minus,  as the case may be,  the
amount of the net additions to or withdrawals from the aggregate  investments in
the Portfolio by all investors in the Portfolio. The percentage so determined is
then applied to determine the value of the investor's  interest in the Portfolio
as of the close of regular trading on the next following Business Day.

                       8. CERTAIN ADDITIONAL TAX MATTERS

         Each Fund has elected to be treated,  and intends to qualify each year,
as a "regulated  investment  company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), by meeting all applicable requirements of
Subchapter  M,  including  requirements  as to the  nature of the  Fund's  gross
income, the amount of Fund distributions, and the composition and holding period
of the Fund's portfolio assets.  Provided all such requirements are met, no U.S.
federal  income or excise  taxes  generally  will be  required to be paid by the
Funds,  although  non-U.S.  source  income earned by each Fund may be subject to
non-U.S.  withholding  taxes.  If a Fund should fail to qualify as a  "regulated
investment  company"  for any year,  the Fund  would  incur a regular  corporate
federal  income  tax upon  its  taxable  income  and  Fund  distributions  would
generally be taxable as ordinary  income to  shareholders.  The Portfolio  Trust
believes the Portfolios also will not be required to pay any U.S. federal income
or excise taxes on their income.

         The portion of each Fund's  ordinary income  dividends  attributable to
dividends  received in respect of equity  securities of U.S. issuers is normally
eligible for the dividends received  deduction for corporations  subject to U.S.
federal income taxes.  Availability of the deduction for particular shareholders
is subject to certain  limitations,  and deducted  amounts may be subject to the
alternative  minimum  tax and  result in  certain  basis  adjustments.  Any Fund
dividend that is declared in October, November or December of any calendar year,
that is payable to shareholders of record in such a month,  and that is paid the
following January will be treated as if received by the shareholders on December
31 of the year in which the dividend is declared.

         In general,  any gain or loss  realized upon a taxable  disposition  of
shares of a Fund by a shareholder that holds such shares as a capital asset will
be treated as a long-term  capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for
more than twelve  months and  otherwise  as a  short-term  capital gain or loss.
However,  any loss realized upon a disposition  of shares in a Fund held for six
months or less will be treated as a long-term  capital loss to the extent of any
distributions  of net capital gain made with respect to those  shares.  Any loss
realized  upon a  disposition  of  shares  may also be  disallowed  under  rules
relating  to  wash  sales.  Gain  may be  increased  (or  loss  reduced)  upon a
redemption of shares of a Fund within 90 days after their  purchase  followed by
any purchase  (including  purchases by exchange or by reinvestment) of shares of
that Fund or of another  Landmark Fund without  payment of any additional  sales
charge.

         Each  Fund's  transactions  in  forward  contracts  will be  subject to
special  tax rules that may  affect the  amount,  timing and  character  of Fund
income and distributions to shareholders. For example, certain positions held by
each Fund on the last business day of each taxable year will be marked to market
(i.e.,  treated as if closed out) on that day,  and any gain or loss  associated
with the positions will be treated as 60% long-term and 40%  short-term  capital
gain or loss. Certain positions held by a Fund that  substantially  diminish its
risk of loss with respect to other  positions in its  portfolio  may  constitute
"straddles,"  and may be subject to special tax rules that would cause  deferral
of Fund  losses,  adjustments  in the holding  periods of Fund  securities,  and
conversion of short-term into long-term  capital  losses.  Certain tax elections
exist for  straddles  that may alter the effects of these rules.  Each Fund will
limit its  activities in forward  contracts to the extent  necessary to meet the
requirements of Subchapter M of the Code.

         Any Fund  distribution  will have the effect of reducing  the per share
net  asset  value of  shares  in the  Fund by the  amount  of the  distribution.
Shareholders   purchasing   shares   shortly  before  the  record  date  of  any
distribution  may thus pay the full price for the  shares  and then  effectively
receive a portion of the purchase price back as a taxable distribution.

         Special tax considerations  apply with respect to non-U.S.  investments
of the Funds. Use of non-U.S. currencies for non-hedging purposes may be limited
in order to avoid a tax on the Funds.  Investment by a Fund in certain  "passive
foreign investment companies" may also be limited in order to avoid a tax on the
Fund.  Investment  income  received by a Fund from  non-U.S.  securities  may be
subject to non-U.S.  income taxes withheld at the source.  The United States has
entered into tax treaties with many other countries that may entitle a Fund to a
reduced rate of tax or an exemption from tax on such income. The Funds intend to
qualify for treaty reduced rates where available.  It is not possible,  however,
to determine  the Funds'  effective  rate of non-U.S.  tax in advance  since the
amount of the Funds'  respective  assets to be invested within various countries
is not known. Shareholders will not be able to claim any deduction or credit for
any part of the foreign taxes paid by the Funds.

              9. INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         Price Waterhouse LLP are the independent  certified public  accountants
for the Funds,  providing  audit services and assistance and  consultation  with
respect  to  the  preparation  of  filings  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.  Price  Waterhouse are the chartered  accountants  for the Portfolio
Trust.  Deloitte & Touche LLP were the independent  certified public accountants
for the  Balanced  Fund and the Equity  Fund  through  December  31,  1993.  The
selection  of Price  Waterhouse  LLP was  based on  management's  decision  with
respect to certain  areas of expertise  and service  capabilities.  There was no
disagreement  between  the Funds and  Deloitte & Touche LLP with  respect to the
accounting and audit services provided by such firm.

         The audited  financial  statements  of the Balanced Fund and the Equity
Fund  (Statement of Assets and  Liabilities  at December 31, 1994,  Statement of
