PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

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

   
THE FUND: This Prospectus describes CitiFunds Large Cap Growth Portfolio (the
"Fund"). The Fund is a diversified mutual fund.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES: The Fund's investment objective is long-
term capital growth. Dividend income, if any, is incidental to this investment
objective. Through Large Cap Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), the Fund
invests primarily in common stocks of U.S. issuers, with an emphasis on
securities issued by established companies with medium to large
capitalizations (i.e. those issuers with market capitalizations within the top
1,000 stocks that comprise the large and mid-range capitalization sector of
the equity market) and seasoned management teams ("Established Companies").
Because the Fund invests through the Portfolio, all references in this
Prospectus to the Fund include the Portfolio, except as otherwise noted.

INVESTMENT MANAGER AND DISTRIBUTOR: Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank" or the
"Manager"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citicorp, is the investment manager.
Citibank and its affiliates manage more than $88 billion in assets worldwide.
CFBDS, Inc. ("CFBDS" or the "Distributor") is the distributor of shares of the
Fund. See "Management."
    

PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS: Investors may purchase and redeem shares of the
Fund through a Service Agent on any day the New York Stock Exchange is open
for trading. See "Purchases" and "Redemptions."

   
PRICING: Shares of the Fund are purchased and redeemed at net asset value,
without a sales load or redemption fees. Shares are subject to a fee of up to
0.25% per annum of the Fund's average daily net assets for distribution, sales
and marketing and shareholder services. See "Purchases" and "Management --
Distribution Arrangements."
    

EXCHANGES: Shares may be exchanged for shares of the CitiSelect(R) Portfolios
and other CitiFunds. See "Exchanges."

DIVIDENDS: Dividends, if any, are declared and paid semi-annually. Net capital
gains, if any, are distributed annually. See "Dividends and Distributions."

REINVESTMENT: All dividends and capital gains distributions may be received
either in cash or in Fund shares at net asset value. See "Dividends and
Distributions."

WHO SHOULD INVEST: Investing primarily in common stock of U.S. issuers, the
Fund is designed for investors seeking long-term capital growth and for whom
current income is not a primary consideration. The Fund is 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 the Fund will achieve its
investment objective, and the 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 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.

The 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 Fund's 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. The 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. See "Risk Considerations"
and the Appendix for more information.

EXPENSE SUMMARY

   
The following table summarizes estimated shareholder transaction and annual
operating expenses for shares of the Fund. For more information on costs and
expenses, see "Management" -- page 15 and "General Information -- Expenses" --
page 20.*

                                                                       CITIFUNDS

                                                                GROWTH PORTFOLIO
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES                                            None
ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES
  (AS A PERCENTAGE OF AVERAGE NET ASSETS):
Management Fees (after fee waivers)(1)(3)                                  0.70%
12b-1 Fees (including service fees) (2)                                    0.25%
Other Expenses (after fee waivers and reimbursements) (3)                  0.10%
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Fund Operating Expenses (3)                                          1.05%
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*    This table is intended to assist investors in understanding the various
     costs and expenses that a shareholder of the Fund will bear, either
     directly or indirectly. The table shows the fees paid to various service
     providers after giving effect to expected voluntary partial fee waivers
     and reimbursements. There can be no assurance that the fee waivers and
     reimbursements reflected in the table will continue at these levels. The
     information in the table and in the example below is based on the Fund's
     expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, as revised to
     reflect current fees.
(1)  A combined fee for investment advisory and administrative services.
(2)  12b-1 distribution fees are asset-based sales charges. Long-term
     shareholders in the Fund could pay more in sales charges than the
     economic equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charges permitted by
     the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
(3)  Absent fee waivers and reimbursements "Management Fees" and "Total Fund
     Operating Expenses" would be 0.90% and 1.25%, respectively, as revised to
     reflect the Fund's current fees and expense structure.

EXAMPLE: A shareholder would pay the following expenses on a $1,000
investment, assuming a 5% annual return and redemption at the end of each
period indicated below:

                                                     ONE   THREE    FIVE     TEN
                                                    YEAR   YEARS   YEARS   YEARS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CITIFUNDS LARGE CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO                 $11     $33    $ 58    $128
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The Example assumes that all dividends are reinvested and reflects certain
      voluntary fee waivers. If fee waivers were not made the amounts in the
      example would be $13, $40, $69 and $151. 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 the Fund's future performance.
      THE EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE
      EXPENSES OF THE FUND. ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE
      SHOWN.

INVESTMENT INFORMATION

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The investment objective of the Fund is long-term
capital growth. Dividend income, if any, is incidental to this investment
objective.

The investment objective of the Fund may be changed by its Trustees without
approval by the 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 the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

   
INVESTMENT POLICIES:  The 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 issued by Established Companies with
medium to large capitalizations (i.e., those issuers with market
capitalizations within the top 1,000 stocks that comprise the large and mid-
range capitalization sector of the equity market).

In selecting equity securities the Manager emphasizes securities issued by
Established Companies which the Manager believes possess above-average
prospects for growth. The Manager 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 securities which the Manager believes to be of
comparable quality. Less than 5% of the Fund's investments consist of
securities rated Baa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or BBB by Standard &
Poor's Ratings Group.

CERTAIN ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT POLICIES:
Non-U.S. Securities. While the Fund emphasizes U.S. securities, the Fund may
invest a portion of its assets in non-U.S. equity and debt securities,
including depository receipts. The Fund does not intend 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. The Fund may invest up
to 5% of its assets in closed-end investment companies which primarily hold
non-U.S. securities.

Futures. The Fund may purchase or sell stock index futures in order to protect
against declines in the value of portfolio securities or increases in the cost
of securities or other assets to be acquired and, subject to applicable law,
to enhance potential gain. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by
one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a security at
a specified future time and price, or for making payment of a cash settlement
based on changes in the value of a security, an index of securities or other
assets. In many cases, the futures contracts that may be purchased or sold by
the Fund are standardized contracts traded on commodities exchanges or boards
of trade.

Temporary Investments. During periods of unusual economic or market conditions
or for temporary defensive purposes or liquidity, the 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 Fund's
permitted investments and investment practices, see the Appendix -- Permitted
Investments and Investment Practices on page 20. The Fund will not necessarily
invest or engage in each of the investments and investment practices in the
Appendix but reserves 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 Fund, including a limitation that the Fund may borrow money from banks
in an amount not to exceed  1/3 of the Fund's net assets for extraordinary or
emergency purposes (e.g., to meet redemption requests). Except as otherwise
indicated, the Fund's investment objective 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 the Fund's
securities will not be a violation of policy.

   
Portfolio Turnover. Securities of the Portfolio will be sold whenever the
Manager believes it is appropriate to do so in light of the Fund's investment
objective, without regard to the length of time a particular security may have
been held. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, and for the
period from January 1, 1997 to October 31, 1997, the turnover rates for the
Portfolio were 67%, 90% and 103%, respectively. 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 the 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 the 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. The 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 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 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.

   
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 Fund. Prices at which the
Fund may acquire securities may be affected by trading by persons with
material information and by securities transactions by brokers in anticipation
of transactions by the Fund.
    

Because non-U.S. securities often are denominated in currencies other than the
U.S. dollar, changes in currency exchange rates will affect the 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.

   
Equity securities traded in certain foreign countries may trade at price-
earnings multiples higher than those of comparable companies trading on
securities markets in the United States, which may not be sustainable. Rapid
increases in money supply in certain countries may result in speculative
investment in equity securities which may contribute to volatility of trading
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 ratio of
the Fund may be higher than those of investment companies investing
exclusively in U.S. securities.
    

The 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
Fund may entail certain risks. These risks are in addition to risks described
above and are described in the Appendix. See the Appendix -- Permitted
Investments and Investment Practices on page 20.

   
Special Information Concerning Investment Structure. The Fund does not invest
directly in securities. Instead, the Fund is permitted to invest all or a
portion of its assets in one or more investment companies to the extent not
prohibited by the Investment Company Act of 1940, the rules and regulations
thereunder, and exemptive orders granted under such Act. Currently, the Fund
invests all of its investable assets in the Portfolio, which is a mutual fund
having the same investment objective and policies as the Fund. The Portfolio,
in turn, buys, holds and sells securities in accordance with this objective
and these policies. Of course, there can be no assurance that the Fund or the
Portfolio will achieve its objective. The Trustees of the Fund believe that
the aggregate per share expenses of the Fund and the Portfolio will be less
than or approximately equal to the expenses that the Fund would incur if the
assets of the Fund were invested directly in the types of securities held by
the Portfolio. The Fund may withdraw its investment in the Portfolio at any
time, and will do so if the Fund's Trustees believe it to be in the best
interest of the Fund's shareholders. If the Fund were to withdraw its
investment in the Portfolio the Fund could either invest directly in
securities in accordance with the investment policies described above or
invest in one or more mutual funds or pooled investment vehicles having the
same investment objective and policies. If the Fund were to withdraw, the Fund
could receive securities from the Portfolio instead of cash causing the Fund
to incur brokerage, tax and other charges or leaving it with securities which
may or may not be readily marketable or widely diversified.
    

The Portfolio may change its investment objective and certain of its
investment policies and restrictions without approval by its investors, but
the Portfolio will notify the Fund (which in turn will notify its
shareholders) and its other investors at least 30 days before implementing any
change in its investment objective. A change in investment objective, policies
or restrictions may cause the Fund to withdraw its investment in the
Portfolio.

Certain investment restrictions of the Portfolio cannot be changed without
approval by the investors in the Portfolio. These policies are described in
the Statement of Additional Information. When the Fund is asked to vote on
certain matters concerning the Portfolio, the Fund will hold a shareholder
meeting and vote in accordance with shareholder instructions. Of course, the
Fund could be outvoted, or otherwise adversely affected, by other investors in
the Portfolio.

The Portfolio may sell interests to investors in addition to the Fund. These
investors may be mutual funds which offer shares to their shareholders with
different costs and expenses than the Fund. Therefore, the investment returns
for all investors in funds investing in the Portfolio may not be the same. The
differences in returns are also present in other mutual fund structures.

   
Information about other holders of interests in the Portfolio is available
from the Fund's distributor, CFBDS, at (617) 423-1679
    

VALUATION OF SHARES

   
Net asset value per share of the 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
(normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) by adding the market value of all securities
and other assets of the Fund (including the Fund's interest in the Portfolio),
then subtracting the Fund's liabilities, and then dividing the result by the
number of the Fund's outstanding shares. The net asset value per share is
effective for orders received and accepted by the Transfer Agent 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 the Fund's investments, trading may
take place in securities held by the Fund on days which are not Business Days
and on which it will not be possible to purchase or redeem shares of the
Fund.

PURCHASES

Shares of the Fund are offered continuously and may be purchased on any
Business Day at the public offering price. The public offering price is the
net asset value next determined after an order is transmitted to and accepted
by the Transfer Agent. The Fund and the Transfer Agent reserve the right to
reject any purchase order and to suspend the offering of Fund shares for a
period of time.

   
Shares may be purchased through certain financial institutions (which may
include banks), securities dealers and other industry professionals (called
Service Agents) that have entered into service agreements with the
Distributor. Service Agents may receive certain fees from the Distributor and/
or the Fund. See "Management -- Distribution Arrangements." Investors should
contact their Service Agents for information on purchases. Each Service 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 Service Agent.
Each Service Agent has agreed to transmit to its customers who are
shareholders of the Fund appropriate prior written disclosure of any fees that
it may charge them directly. Each Service Agent is responsible for
transmitting promptly orders of its customers.
    

From time to time the Distributor may make payments for distribution and/or
shareholder servicing activities out of its past profits and other sources
available to it. The Distributor also may make payments for marketing,
promotional or related expenses to dealers who engage in marketing efforts on
behalf of the Fund. The amounts of these payments will be determined by the
Distributor in its sole discretion and may vary among different dealers.

EXCHANGES

Shares may be exchanged for shares of the CitiSelect Portfolios and other
CitiFunds, or may be acquired through an exchange of shares of those funds.

   
Shareholders must place exchange orders through the Transfer Agent or, if they
are customers of a Service Agent, though their Service Agent, 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 and accepted by the Transfer Agent. See "Valuation of
Shares." Shares of the Fund may be exchanged only after payment in federal
funds for the shares has been received by the Transfer Agent.

This exchange privilege may be modified or terminated at any time, upon at
least 60 days' notice when such notice is required by Securities and Exchange
Commission rules, and is available only in those jurisdictions where such
exchanges legally may be made. See the Statement of Additional Information for
further details. 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 the Transfer Agent. Each
Service Agent is responsible for the prompt transmission of redemption orders
to the Fund on behalf of its customers. A Service Agent may establish
requirements or procedures regarding submission of redemption requests by its
customers that are different from those described below. Shareholders should
consult their Service Agents for details. 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 the Transfer Agent or a
shareholder's Service Agent) to the Transfer Agent or, if shareholders are
customers of a Service Agent, their Service Agent. 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 the Transfer
Agent or, if they are customers of a Service Agent, their Service Agent.
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 Fund, the Transfer Agent and each Service 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 the
shareholder's name, address, telephone number, Social Security number, and
account number. If these or other reasonable procedures are not followed, the
Fund, the Transfer Agent or the Service 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, the
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
Redemption Information" in the Statement of Additional Information regarding
the Fund's right to pay the redemption price in kind with securities (instead
of cash).
    

Questions about redemption requirements should be referred to the Transfer
Agent or, for customers of a Service Agent, their Service 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 the Fund's net income from dividends and interest, if
any, is paid to its shareholders of record as a dividend  semiannually.

The Fund's net realized short-term and long-term capital gains, if any, will
be distributed to the Fund's shareholders at least annually. The 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.

   
A shareholder may elect to receive dividends and capital gains distributions
in either cash or additional shares of the Fund issued at net asset value.
    

MANAGEMENT

TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS: The Fund is supervised by the Board of Trustees of
CitiFunds Trust II. The Portfolio is supervised by the Board of Trustees of
The Premium Portfolios. In each case, a majority of the Trustees are not
affiliated with Citibank. In addition, a majority of the disinterested
Trustees of the Fund are different from a majority of the disinterested
Trustees of the Portfolio. More information on the Trustees and officers of
the Fund and Portfolio appears under "Management" in the Statement of
Additional Information.

INVESTMENT MANAGER: 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 $88 billion in assets worldwide. Citibank is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Citicorp. Citibank also serves as investment
adviser to other registered investment companies. Citibank's address is 153
East 53rd Street, New York, New York 10043.

   
Subject to policies set by the Trustees, Citibank is responsible for overall
management of the Fund pursuant to a Management Agreement with the Fund.
Citibank also provides certain administrative services to the Fund. These
administrative services include providing general office facilities and
supervising the overall administration of the Fund. Pursuant to a sub-
administrative services agreement with Citibank, the Distributor performs such
sub-administrative duties for the Fund as from time to time are agreed upon by
Citibank and the Distributor. The Distributor's compensation as sub-
administrator is paid by Citibank.
    

Grant D. Hobson and Richard Goldman have managed the Fund since January 1996.
Mr. Hobson is responsible for managing U.S. equity portfolios for mutual
funds, trust and pension accounts of Citibank Global Asset Management and
currently manages, or co-manages, more than $4 billion of total assets at
Citibank. Prior to joining Citibank in 1993, Mr. Hobson was a securities
analyst and sector manager for pension accounts and mutual funds for Axe
Houghton, formerly a division of USF&G. Mr. Goldman is responsible for
managing U.S. equity portfolios for mutual funds and institutional accounts,
and for quantitative equity research for the U.S. institutional business of
Citibank Global Asset Management. He currently manages, or co-manages,
approximately $4 billion of total assets at Citibank. He joined Citicorp's
Investment Management Division in 1985 and from 1988 to 1994 was responsible
for running Citicorp's Institutional Investor Relations Department.

   
Management's discussion of the Fund's performance is included in the Fund's
Annual Report to Shareholders, which investors may obtain without charge by
calling 1-800-625-4554.
    

Management Fees. For its services under the Management Agreements with respect
to the Fund and the Portfolio, Citibank receives fees, which are computed
daily and paid monthly, at annual rates equal to 0.30% of the Fund's average
net assets, and 0.60% of the Portfolio's average net assets. These combined
management fees are higher than the management fees paid by most mutual funds.

   
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, the investment advisory fees paid
to Citibank under a prior investment advisory agreement were 0.50% of the
Fund's average daily net assets for that fiscal year. For the period from
January 1, 1997 to October 31, 1997, the management fees paid to Citibank
under its investment advisory agreement were 0.50% of the Fund's average daily
net assets for that period.
    

Banking Relationships. Citibank and its affiliates may have deposit, loan and
other relationships with the issuers of securities purchased on behalf of the
Fund, 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 Fund 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 Fund. Citibank believes that its services
under the Management Agreements and the activities performed by it or its
affiliates as Service Agents 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 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 Manager or a Service Agent,
the Fund would seek alternative means for obtaining these services. The Fund
does not expect that shareholders would suffer any adverse financial
consequences as a result of any such occurrence.

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

DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS: CFBDS, 6 St. James Avenue, Boston, MA 02116
(telephone: (617) 423-1679), is the distributor of the Fund's shares. Under a
Service Plan which has been adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the
1940 Act, the Fund may pay monthly fees at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%
of the average daily net assets of the Fund. These fees may be used to make
payments to the Distributor for distribution services and to Service Agents
and others as compensation for the sale of shares of the Fund, for
advertising, marketing or other promotional activity, and for preparation,
printing and distribution of prospectuses, statements of additional
information and reports for recipients other than regulators and existing
shareholders. The Fund also may make payments to the Distributor, Service
Agents and others for providing personal service or the maintenance of
shareholder accounts. In those states where CFBDS is not a registered broker-
dealer, shares of the Fund are sold through Signature Broker-Dealer Services,
Inc., as dealer.

The amounts paid by the Distributor to each Service Agent and other recipient
may vary based upon certain factors, including, among other things, the levels
of sales of Fund shares and/or shareholder services provided by the Service
Agent.
    

The Fund and the Distributor provide to the Trustees quarterly a written
report of amounts expended pursuant to the Service Plan and the purposes for
which the expenditures were made.

   
During the period they are in effect, the Service Plan and related
Distribution Agreement obligate the Fund to pay fees to the Distributor,
Service Agents and others as compensation for their services, not as
reimbursement for specific expenses incurred. Thus, even if these entities'
expenses exceed the fees provided for under the Service Plan, the Fund will
not be obligated to pay more than those fees and, if their expenses are less
than the fees paid to them, they will realize a profit. The Fund will pay the
fees to the Distributor, Service Agents and others until the Service Plan or
Distribution Agreement is terminated or not renewed. In that event, the
Distributor's or Service Agent's expenses in excess of fees received or
accrued through the termination date will be the Distributor's or Service
Agent's sole responsibility and not obligations of the Fund.
    

TAX MATTERS

This discussion of taxes is for general information only. Investors should
consult their own tax advisers about their particular situations.

   
The 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 or state income or federal excise taxes. The Fund may pay
withholding or other taxes to foreign governments during the year, however,
and these taxes may reduce the Fund's 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
the 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 long-term net capital gains will be taxed as such regardless
of how long the shares of the Fund have been held. Such capital gains may be
taxable to shareholders that are individuals, estates, or trusts at maximum
rates of 20%, 25%, or 28%, depending upon the source of the gains.

Fund distributions will reduce the Fund's net asset value per share.
Shareholders who buy shares just before the 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, the 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 the Fund's shares when redeemed
may be more or less than their original cost.

The 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, 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.

   
The Fund may provide annualized "yield" and "effective yield" quotations. The
"yield" of the 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 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. The Fund may also provide yield and
effective yield quotations for longer periods.
    

Of course, any fees charged by a shareholder's Service Agent will reduce that
shareholder'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 Fund.

GENERAL INFORMATION

   
ORGANIZATION: The Fund is a series of CitiFunds Trust II, a Massachusetts
business trust which was organized on April 13, 1984. The Trust is also an
open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. Prior to
March 2, 1998, the Fund was called Landmark Equity Fund. Prior to January 7,
1998, CitiFunds Trust II was called Landmark Funds II.
    

The 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.

   
The Fund is permitted to invest all or a portion of its assets in one or more
investment companies. The Fund currently invests in the Portfolio. The
Portfolio is a series of The Premium Portfolios, a New York trust. Prior to
November 1, 1997, the Portfolio was called Equity Portfolio.

VOTING AND OTHER RIGHTS: CitiFunds Trust II 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 the Fund gives the shareholder one vote in Trustee
elections and other matters submitted to shareholders for vote. All shares of
each series of CitiFunds Trust II have equal voting rights except that, in
matters affecting only a particular series or class, only shares of that
particular series or class are entitled to vote.
    

At any meeting of shareholders of the Fund, a Service 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 Service Agent is the holder of
record.

   
As a Massachusetts business trust, CitiFunds Trust II is not required to hold
annual shareholder meetings. Shareholder approval will usually be sought only
for changes in the 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 the Fund is
entitled to participate equally in dividends and other distributions and the
proceeds of any liquidation of the Fund.
    

CERTIFICATES: The Fund's Transfer Agent maintains a share register for
shareholders of record. Share certificates are not issued.

RETIREMENT PLANS: Investors may be able to establish new accounts in the 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 Service Agents and tax and retirement advisers.

   
EXPENSES: In addition to amounts payable under its Management Agreement and
Service Plan, the 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 Citibank or the Distributor, government
fees, taxes, accounting and legal fees, expenses of communicating with
shareholders, interest expense, and insurance premiums.

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

Counsel and Independent Auditors: Bingham Dana LLP, 150 Federal Street, Boston,
MA 02110 is counsel for the Fund. Price Waterhouse LLP, 160 Federal Street, 
Boston, MA 02110, serves as independent auditor for the Fund.

APPENDIX

PERMITTED INVESTMENTS AND
INVESTMENT PRACTICES

Repurchase Agreements. The 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. The 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 the 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, the 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 the 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 or cash. To the extent
that, in the meantime, the value of the securities loaned or sold has
increased or the value of the securities purchased has decreased, the Fund
could experience a loss.

   
Rule 144A Securities. The Fund may purchase restricted securities that are not
registered for sale to the general public. If it is determined that there is a
dealer or institutional market in the securities, 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.
    

Convertible Securities. The Fund may invest in convertible securities. A
convertible security is a fixed-income security (a bond or preferred stock)
which may be converted at a stated price within a specified period of time
into a certain quantity of common stock or other equity securities of the same
or a different issuer. Convertible securities rank senior to common stock in a
corporation's capital structure but are usually subordinated to similar non-
convertible securities. While providing a fixed-income stream (generally
higher in yield than the income derivable from common stock but lower than
that afforded by a similar non-convertible security), a convertible security
also affords an investor the opportunity, through its conversion feature, to
participate in the capital appreciation attendant upon a market price advance
in the convertible security's underlying common stock.

In general, the market value of a convertible security is at least the higher
of its "investment value" (i.e., its value as a fixed-income security), or its
"conversion value" (i.e., its value upon conversion into its underlying
stock). As a fixed-income security, a convertible security tends to increase
in market value when interest rates decline and tends to decrease in value
when interest rates rise. However, the price of a convertible security is also
influenced by the market value of the security's underlying common stock. The
price of a convertible security tends to increase as the market value of the
underlying stock rises, whereas it tends to decrease as the market value of
the underlying stock declines. While no securities investment is without some
risk, investments in convertible securities generally entail less risk than
investments in the common stock of the same issuer.

Private Placements and Illiquid Investments. The 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, the 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.

   
Futures Contracts. The Fund may purchase stock index futures in order to
protect against declines in the value of portfolio securities or increases in
the cost of securities or other assets to be acquired and, subject to
applicable law, to enhance potential gain. Futures contracts provide for the
future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount
of a security at a specified future time and price, or for making payment of a
cash settlement based on changes in the value of a security, an index of
securities or other assets. In many cases, the futures contracts that may be
purchased by the Fund are standardized contracts traded on commodities
exchanges or boards of trade.

Because the value of a futures contract changes based on the price  of the
underlying security or other asset, futures contracts are considered to be
"derivatives." Futures contracts are a generally accepted part of modern
portfolio management and are regularly utilized by many mutual funds and other
institutional investors. When the Fund purchases or sells a futures contract,
it is required to make an initial margin deposit. Although the amount may
vary, initial margin can be as low as 1% or less of the face amount of the
contract. Additional margin may be required as the contract fluctuates in
value. Since the amount of margin is relatively small compared to the value of
the securities covered by a futures contract, the potential for gain or loss
on a futures contract is much greater than the amount of the Fund's initial
margin deposit. The Fund does not currently intend to enter into a futures
contract if, as a result, the initial margin deposits on all of the Fund's
futures contracts would exceed approximately 5% of the Fund's net assets.
Also, the Fund intends to limit its futures contracts so that the value of the
securities covered by its futures contracts would not generally exceed 50% of
the Fund's total assets other than its futures contracts and to segregate
sufficient assets to meet its obligations under outstanding futures contracts.
    

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

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

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

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 the 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. Such characteristics can be expected to continue in the future.

Currency Exchange Contracts. Forward currency exchange contracts may be
entered into for the 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. The 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.

Commercial Paper. The Fund may invest in commercial paper, which is unsecured
debt of corporations usually maturing in 270 days or less from its date of
issuance.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

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

   
THE FUND: This Prospectus describes CitiFunds Small Cap Growth Portfolio (the
"Fund"). The Fund is a diversified mutual fund.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES: The Fund's objective is long-term capital
growth. Dividend income, if any, is incidental to this investment objective.
Through Small Cap Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), the Fund invests
primarily in stocks of U.S. issuers that have small market capitalizations
(i.e., those issuers with market capitalizations below the top 1,000 stocks
that comprise the large and mid-range capitalization sector of the equity
market). In addition, the Fund may invest in companies that are believed to be
emerging companies relative to their potential markets. In selecting equity
securities, the Manager emphasizes securities of small cap companies with strong
management teams. Because the Fund invests through the Portfolio, all references
in this Prospectus to the Fund include the Portfolio, except as otherwise noted.

INVESTMENT MANAGER AND DISTRIBUTOR: Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank" or the
"Manager"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citicorp, is the investment manager.
Citibank and its affiliates manage more than $88 billion in assets worldwide.
CFBDS, Inc. ("CFBDS" or the "Distributor") is the distributor of shares of the
Fund. See "Management."
    

PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS: Investors may purchase and redeem shares of the
Fund through a Service Agent on any day the New York Stock Exchange is open
for trading. See "Purchases" and "Redemptions."

   
PRICING: Shares of the Fund are purchased and redeemed at net asset value,
without a sales load or redemption fees. Shares are subject to a fee of up to
0.25% per annum of the Fund's average daily net assets for distribution, sales
and marketing and shareholder services. See "Purchases" and "Management --
Distribution Arrangements."
    

EXCHANGES: Shares may be exchanged for shares of the CitiSelect(R) Portfolios
and other CitiFunds. See "Exchanges."

DIVIDENDS: Dividends, if any, are declared and paid semi-annually. Net capital
gains, if any, are distributed annually. See "Dividends and Distributions."

REINVESTMENT: All dividends and capital gains distributions may be received
either in cash or in Fund shares at net asset value. See "Dividends and
Distributions."

WHO SHOULD INVEST: Investing primarily in common stock of U.S. issuers, the
Fund is designed for investors seeking long-term capital growth and for whom
current income is not a primary consideration. The Fund is 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 the Fund will achieve its
investment objective, and the 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 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 Fund,
therefore, may be subject to greater fluctuation in value than shares of an
equity fund investing primarily in securities of larger, more established
companies.

The 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 Fund's 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. The 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. See "Risk Considerations"
and the Appendix for more information.

EXPENSE SUMMARY

   
The following table summarizes estimated shareholder transaction and annual
operating expenses for shares of the Fund. For more information on costs and
expenses, see "Management" -- page 14 and "General Information -- Expenses" --
page 19.
                                                                     CITIFUNDS

                                                              GROWTH PORTFOLIO
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES                                          None
ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES
  (AS A PERCENTAGE OF AVERAGE NET ASSETS):
Management Fees (after fee waivers)(1)(3)                                0.85%
12b-1 Fees (including service fees)(2)                                   0.25%
Other Expenses (after fee waivers and reimbursements)(3)                 0.25%
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Fund Operating Expenses(3)                                         1.35%
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*    This table is intended to assist investors in understanding the various
     costs and expenses that a shareholder of the Fund will bear, either
     directly or indirectly. The table shows the fees paid to various service
     providers after giving effect to expected voluntary partial fee waivers
     and reimbursements. There can be no assurance that the fee waivers and
     reimbursements reflected in the table will continue at these levels. The
     information in the table and in the example below is based on the Fund's
     expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, as revised to
     reflect current fees.
(1)  A combined fee for investment advisory and administrative services.
(2)  12b-1 distribution fees are asset-based sales charges. Long-term
     shareholders in the Fund could pay more in sales charges than the
     economic equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charges permitted by
     the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
(3)  After voluntary fee waivers and reimbursements. Absent fee waivers and
     reimbursements "Management Fees", "Other Expenses" and "Total Fund
     Operating Expenses" would be 1.10%, 0.38%, and 1.73%, respectively,
     revised to reflect the Fund's current fees and expense structure.

EXAMPLE: A shareholder would pay the following expenses on a $1,000
investment, assuming a 5% annual return and redemption at the end of each
period indicated below:
                                                     ONE   THREE    FIVE     TEN
                                                    YEAR   YEARS   YEARS   YEARS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CITIFUNDS SMALL CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO                 $14     $43     $74    $162
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Example assumes that all dividends are reinvested and reflects certain
voluntary fee waivers and reimbursements. If fee waivers and reimbursements
were not made, the amounts in the example would be $18, $54, $94 and $204. 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 the Fund's future
performance. THE EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR
FUTURE EXPENSES OF THE FUND. ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE
SHOWN.

INVESTMENT INFORMATION

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The investment objective of the Fund is long-term
capital growth. Dividend income, if any, is incidental to this investment
objective.

The investment objective of the Fund may be changed by its Trustees without
approval by the 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 the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

   
INVESTMENT POLICIES:  The 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 below the top 1,000 stocks that comprise the large and mid-
range capitalization sector of the equity market. In addition, the Fund may
invest in companies that are believed to be emerging companies relative to
their potential markets. In selecting equity securities to invest in, the 
Manager emphasizes securities of small cap companies with strong management
teams.

The Manager 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 Investors
Service, Inc. or BBB by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group.

The Fund will not sell the equity securities of an issuer solely due to the
fact that the issuer's market capitalization has grown above the small cap
level. Rather, the Fund will evaluate the continued appropriateness of such
securities within its investment criteria.

CERTAIN ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT POLICIES:
Non-U.S. Securities. While the Fund emphasizes U.S. securities, the Fund may
invest a portion of its assets in non-U.S. equity and debt securities,
including depository receipts. The Fund does not intend 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. The Fund may invest up
to 5% of its assets in closed-end investment companies which primarily hold
non-U.S. securities.

Futures. The Fund may purchase or sell stock index futures in order to protect
against declines in the value of portfolio securities or increases in the cost
of securities or other assets to be acquired and, subject to applicable law,
to enhance potential gain. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by
one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a security at
a specified future time and price, or for making payment of a cash settlement
based on changes in the value of a security, an index of securities or other
assets. In many cases, the futures contracts that may be purchased or sold by
the Fund are standardized contracts traded on commodities exchanges or boards
of trade.
    

Temporary Investments. During periods of unusual economic or market conditions
or for temporary defensive purposes or liquidity, the 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 Fund's
permitted investments and investment practices, see the Appendix -- Permitted
Investments and Investment Practices on page 19. The Fund will not necessarily
invest or engage in each of the investments and investment practices in the
Appendix but reserves 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 Fund, including a limitation that the Fund may borrow money from banks
in an amount not to exceed  1/3 of the Fund's net assets for extraordinary or
emergency purposes (e.g., to meet redemption requests). Except as otherwise
indicated, the Fund's investment objective 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 the Fund's
securities will not be a violation of policy.

   
Portfolio Turnover. Securities of the Portfolio will be sold whenever the
Manager believes it is appropriate to do so in light of the Fund's investment
objective, without regard to the length of time a particular security may have
been held. For the period from June 2, 1995 (commencement of operations) to
December 31, 1995, the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, and the period
from January 1, 1997 to October 31, 1997, the turnover rates for the Portfolio
were 41%, 89% and 108%, respectively. 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 the 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 the 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. The 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 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 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.

   
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 Fund. Prices at which the Fund may
acquire securities may be affected by trading by persons with material non-
public information and by securities transactions by brokers in anticipation
of transactions by the Fund.
    

Because non-U.S. securities often are denominated in currencies other than the
U.S. dollar, changes in currency exchange rates will affect the 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.

   
Equity securities traded in certain foreign countries may trade at price-
earnings multiples higher than those of comparable companies trading on
securities markets in the United States, which may not be sustainable. Rapid
increases in money supply in certain countries may result in speculative
investment in equity securities which may contribute to volatility of trading
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 ratio of
the Fund may be higher than those of investment companies investing
exclusively in U.S. securities.

The 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
Fund may entail certain risks. These risks are in addition to risks described
above and are described in the Appendix. See the Appendix -- Permitted
Investments and Investment Practices on page 20.

   
Special Information Concerning Investment Structure: The Fund does not invest
directly in securities. Instead, the Fund is permitted to invest all or a
portion of its assets in one or more investment companies to the extent not
prohibited by the Investment Company Act of 1940, the rules and regulations
thereunder, and exemptive orders granted under such Act. Currently, the Fund
invests all of its investable assets in the Portfolio, which is a mutual fund
having the same investment objective and policies as the Fund. The Portfolio,
in turn, buys, holds and sells securities in accordance with this objective
and these policies. Of course, there can be no assurance that the Fund or the
Portfolio will achieve its objective. The Trustees of the Fund believe that
the aggregate per share expenses of the Fund and the Portfolio will be less
than or approximately equal to the expenses that the Fund would incur if the
assets of the Fund were invested directly in the types of securities held by
the Portfolio. The Fund may withdraw its investment in the Portfolio at any
time, and will do so if the Fund's Trustees believe it to be in the best
interest of the Fund's shareholders. If the Fund were to withdraw its
investment in the Portfolio the Fund could either invest directly in
securities in accordance with the investment policies described above or
invest in one or more mutual funds or pooled investment vehicles having the
same investment objective and policies. If the Fund were to withdraw, the Fund
could receive securities from the Portfolio instead of cash causing the Fund
to incur brokerage, tax and other charges or leaving it with securities which
may or may not be readily marketable or widely diversified.
    

The Portfolio may change its investment objective and certain of its
investment policies and restrictions without approval by its investors, but
the Portfolio will notify the Fund (which in turn will notify its
shareholders) and its other investors at least 30 days before implementing any
change in its investment objective. A change in investment objective, policies
or restrictions may cause the Fund to withdraw its investment in the
Portfolio.

Certain investment restrictions of the Portfolio cannot be changed without
approval by the investors in the Portfolio. These policies are described in
the Statement of Additional Information. When the Fund is asked to vote on
certain matters concerning the Portfolio, the Fund will hold a shareholder
meeting and vote in accordance with shareholder instructions. Of course, the
Fund could be outvoted, or otherwise adversely affected, by other investors in
the Portfolio.

The Portfolio may sell interests to investors in addition to the Fund. These
investors may be mutual funds which offer shares to their shareholders with
different costs and expenses than the Fund. Therefore, the investment returns
for all investors in funds investing in the Portfolio may not be the same. The
differences in returns are also present in other mutual fund structures.

   
Information about other holders of interests in the Portfolio is available
from the Fund's distributor, CFBDS, at (617) 423-1679.
    

VALUATION OF SHARES

   
Net asset value per share of the 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
(normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) by adding the market value of all securities
and other assets of the Fund (including the Fund's interest in the Portfolio),
then subtracting the Fund's liabilities, and then dividing the result by the
number of the Fund's outstanding shares. The net asset value per share is
effective for orders received and accepted by the Transfer Agent 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 the Fund's investments, trading may
take place in securities held by the Fund on days which are not Business Days
and on which it will not be possible to purchase or redeem shares of the
Fund.

PURCHASES

Shares of the Fund are offered continuously and may be purchased on any
Business Day at the public offering price. The public offering price is the
net asset value next determined after an order is transmitted to and accepted
by the Transfer Agent. The Fund and the Transfer Agent reserve the right to
reject any purchase order and to suspend the offering of Fund shares for a
period of time.

   
Shares may be purchased through certain financial institutions (which may
include banks), securities dealers and other industry professionals (called
Service Agents) that have entered into service agreements with the
Distributor. Service Agents may receive certain fees from the Distributor and/
or the Fund. See "Management -- Distribution Arrangements." Investors should
contact their Service Agents for information on purchases. Each Service 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 Service Agent.
Each Service Agent has agreed to transmit to its customers who are
shareholders of the Fund appropriate prior written disclosure of any fees that
it may charge them directly. Each Service Agent is responsible for
transmitting promptly orders of its customers.
    

From time to time the Distributor may make payments for distribution and/or
shareholder servicing activities out of its past profits and other sources
available to it. The Distributor also may make payments for marketing,
promotional or related expenses to dealers who engage in marketing efforts on
behalf of the Fund. The amounts of these payments will be determined by the
Distributor in its sole discretion and may vary among different dealers.

EXCHANGES

Shares may be exchanged for shares of the CitiSelect Portfolios and other
CitiFunds, or may be acquired through an exchange of shares of those funds.

   
Shareholders must place exchange orders through the Transfer Agent or, if they
are customers of a Service Agent, though their Service Agent, 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 and accepted by the Transfer Agent. See "Valuation of
Shares." Shares of the Fund may be exchanged only after payment in federal
funds for the shares has been received by the Transfer Agent.

This exchange privilege may be modified or terminated at any time, upon at
least 60 days' notice when such notice is required by Securities and Exchange
Commission rules, and is available only in those jurisdictions where such
exchanges legally may be made. See the Statement of Additional Information for
further details. 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 the Transfer Agent. Each
Service Agent is responsible for the prompt transmission of redemption orders
to the Fund on behalf of its customers. A Service Agent may establish
requirements or procedures regarding submission of redemption requests by its
customers that are different from those described below. Shareholders should
consult their Service Agents for details. 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 the Transfer Agent or a
shareholder's Service Agent) to the Transfer Agent or, if shareholders are
customers of a Service Agent, their Service Agent. 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 the Transfer
Agent or, if they are customers of a Service Agent, their Service Agent.
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 Fund, the Transfer Agent and each Service 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 the
shareholder's name, address, telephone number, Social Security number, and
account number. If these or other reasonable procedures are not followed, the
Fund, the Transfer Agent or the Service 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, the
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
Redemption Information" in the Statement of Additional Information regarding
the Fund's right to pay the redemption price in kind with securities (instead
of cash).
    

Questions about redemption requirements should be referred to the Transfer
Agent or, for customers of a Service Agent, their Service 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 the Fund's net income from dividends and interest, if
any, is paid to its shareholders of record as a dividend semiannually.

The Fund's net realized short-term and long-term capital gains, if any, will
be distributed to the Fund's shareholders at least annually. The 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.

   
A shareholder may elect to receive dividends and capital gains distributions
in either cash or additional shares of the Fund issued at net asset value.

MANAGEMENT

TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS: The Fund is supervised by the Board of Trustees of
CitiFunds Trust II. The Portfolio is supervised by the Board of Trustees of
The Premium Portfolios. In each case, a majority of the Trustees are not
affiliated with Citibank. In addition, a majority of the disinterested
Trustees of the Fund are different from a majority of the disinterested
Trustees of the Portfolio. More information on the Trustees and officers of
the Fund and Portfolio appears under "Management" in the Statement of
Additional Information.
    

INVESTMENT MANAGER: 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 $88 billion in assets worldwide. Citibank is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Citicorp. Citibank also serves as investment
adviser to other registered investment companies. Citibank's address is 153
East 53rd Street, New York, New York 10043.

   
Subject to policies set by the Trustees, Citibank is responsible for overall
management of the Fund pursuant to a Management Agreement with the Fund.
Citibank also provides certain administrative services to the Fund. These
administrative services include providing general office facilities and
supervising the overall administration of the Fund. Pursuant to a sub-
administrative services agreement with Citibank, the Distributor performs such
sub-administrative duties for the Fund as from time to time are agreed upon by
Citibank and the Distributor. The Distributor's compensation as sub-
administrator is paid by Citibank.

Linda J. Intini has managed the Fund since February 1997. Ms. Intini has over
nine years of experience specializing in the management of small cap equities,
including over $300 million of Citibank's small cap portfolios for trusts and
individuals. Ms Intini has managed small cap equities since joining Citibank
in 1992. Prior to joining Citibank, she was a Portfolio Manager and Research
Analyst with Manufacturers Hanover in the Special Equity area. She also
specialized in equity research at Eberstadt Fleming.

Management's discussion of the Fund's performance is included in the Fund's
Annual Report to Shareholders, which investors may obtain without charge by
calling 1-800-625-4554.
    

Management Fees. For its services under the Management Agreements with respect
to the Fund and the Portfolio, Citibank receives fees, which are computed
daily and paid monthly, at annual rates equal to 0.35% of the Fund's average
net assets, and 0.75% of the Portfolio's average net assets. These combined
management fees are higher than the management fees paid by most mutual funds.

   
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, the investment advisory fees paid
to Citibank under a prior investment advisory agreement (after waivers) were
0.24% of the Fund's average daily net assets for that fiscal year. For the
period from January 1, 1997 to October 31, 1997, the management fees paid to
Citibank under its investment advisory agreement (after waivers) were 0.60% of
the Fund's average daily net assets for that period.
    

Banking Relationships. Citibank and its affiliates may have deposit, loan and
other relationships with the issuers of securities purchased on behalf of the
Fund, 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 Fund 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 Fund. Citibank believes that its services
under the Management Agreements and the activities performed by it or its
affiliates as Service Agents 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 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 Manager or a Service Agent,
the Fund would seek alternative means for obtaining these services. The Fund
does not expect that shareholders would suffer any adverse financial
consequences as a result of any such occurrence.

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

DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS: CFBDS, 6 St. James Avenue, Boston, MA 02116
(telephone: (617) 423-1679), is the distributor of the Fund's shares. Under a
Service Plan which has been adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the
1940 Act, the Fund may pay monthly fees at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%
of the average daily net assets of the Fund. These fees may be used to make
payments to the Distributor for distribution services and to Service Agents
and others as compensation for the sale of shares of the Fund, for
advertising, marketing or other promotional activity, and for preparation,
printing and distribution of prospectuses, statements of additional
information and reports for recipients other than regulators and existing
shareholders. The Fund also may make payments to the Distributor, Service
Agents and others for providing personal service or the maintenance of
shareholder accounts. In those states where CFBDS is not a registered broker-
dealer, shares of the Fund are sold through Signature Broker-Dealer Services,
Inc., as dealer.

The amounts paid by the Distributor to each Service Agent and other recipient
may vary based upon certain factors, including, among other things, the levels
of sales of Fund shares and/or shareholder services provided by the Service
Agent.

The Fund and the Distributor provide to the Trustees quarterly a written
report of amounts expended pursuant to the Service Plan and the purposes for
which the expenditures were made.

During the period they are in effect, the Service Plan and related
Distribution Agreement obligate the Fund to pay fees to the Distributor,
Service Agents and others as compensation for their services, not as
reimbursement for specific expenses incurred. Thus, even if these entities'
expenses exceed the fees provided for under the Service Plan, the Fund will
not be obligated to pay more than those fees and, if their expenses are less
than the fees paid to them, they will realize a profit. The Fund will pay the
fees to the Distributor, Service Agents and others until the Service Plan or
Distribution Agreement is terminated or not renewed. In that event, the
Distributor's or Service Agent's expenses in excess of fees received or
accrued through the termination date will be the Distributor's or Service
Agent's sole responsibility and not obligations of the Fund.
    

TAX MATTERS

This discussion of taxes is for general information only. Investors should
consult their own tax advisers about their particular situations.

   
The 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 or state income or federal excise taxes. The Fund may pay
withholding or other taxes to foreign governments during the year, however,
and these taxes may reduce the Fund's 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
the 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 long-term net capital gains will be taxed as such regardless
of how long the shares of the Fund have been held. Such capital gains may be
taxable to shareholders that are individuals, estates, or trusts at maximum
rates of 20%, 25% or 28%, depending upon the source of the gains.

Fund distributions will reduce the Fund's net asset value per share.
Shareholders who buy shares just before the 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, the 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 the Fund's shares when redeemed
may be more or less than their original cost.

The 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, 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.

   
The Fund may provide annualized "yield" and "effective yield" quotations. The
"yield" of the 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 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. The Fund may also provide yield and
effective yield quotations for longer periods.
    

Of course, any fees charged by a shareholder's Service Agent will reduce that
shareholder'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 Fund.

GENERAL INFORMATION

   
ORGANIZATION: The Fund is a series of CitiFunds Trust II, a Massachusetts
business trust which was organized on April 13, 1984. The Trust is also an
open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. Prior to
March 2, 1998, the Fund was called Landmark Small Cap Equity Fund. Prior to
January 7, 1998, CitiFunds Trust II was called Landmark Funds II.
    

The 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.

   
The Fund is permitted to invest all or a portion of its assets in one or more
investment companies. The Fund currently invests in the Portfolio. The
Portfolio is a series of The Premium Portfolios, a New York trust. Prior to
November 1, 1997, the Portfolio was called Small Cap Equity Portfolio.

VOTING AND OTHER RIGHTS: CitiFunds Trust II 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 the Fund gives the shareholder one vote in Trustee
elections and other matters submitted to shareholders for vote. All shares of
each series of CitiFunds Trust II have equal voting rights except that, in
matters affecting only a particular series or class, only shares of that
particular series or class are entitled to vote.
    

At any meeting of shareholders of the Fund, a Service 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 Service Agent is the holder of
record.

   
As a Massachusetts business trust, CitiFunds Trust II is not required to hold
annual shareholder meetings. Shareholder approval will usually be sought only
for changes in the 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 the Fund is
entitled to participate equally in dividends and other distributions and the
proceeds of any liquidation of the Fund.
    

CERTIFICATES: The Fund's Transfer Agent maintains a share register for
shareholders of record. Share certificates are not issued.

RETIREMENT PLANS: Investors may be able to establish new accounts in the 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 Service Agents and tax and retirement advisers.

   
EXPENSES: In addition to amounts payable under its Management Agreement and
Service Plan, the 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 Citibank or the Distributor, government
fees, taxes, accounting and legal fees, expenses of communicating with
shareholders, interest expense, and insurance premiums.

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

COUNSEL AND INDEPENDENT AUDITORS: Bingham Dana LLP, 150 Federal Street, Boston,
MA 02110 is counsel for the Fund. Price Waterhouse LLP, 160 Federal Street,
Boston, MA 02110, serves as independent auditor for the Fund.

APPENDIX

PERMITTED INVESTMENTS AND
INVESTMENT PRACTICES

   
Repurchase Agreements. The 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. The 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 the 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, the 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 the 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 or cash. To the extent
that, in the meantime, the value of the securities loaned or sold has
increased or the value of the securities purchased has decreased, the Fund
could experience a loss.

Convertible Securities. The Fund may invest in convertible securities. A
convertible security is a fixed-income security (a bond or preferred stock)
which may be converted at a stated price within a specified period of time
into a certain quantity of common stock or other equity securities of the same
or a different issuer. Convertible securities rank senior to common stock in a
corporation's capital structure but are usually subordinated to similar non-
convertible securities. While providing a fixed-income stream (generally
higher in yield than the income derivable from common stock but lower than
that afforded by a similar non-convertible security), a convertible security
also affords an investor the opportunity, through its conversion feature, to
participate in the capital appreciation attendant upon a market price advance
in the convertible security's underlying common stock.

In general, the market value of a convertible security is at least the higher
of its "investment value" (i.e., its value as a fixed-income security), or its
"conversion value" (i.e., its value upon conversion into its underlying
stock). As a fixed-income security, a convertible security tends to increase
in market value when interest rates decline and tends to decrease in value
when interest rates rise. However, the price of a convertible security is also
influenced by the market value of the security's underlying common stock. The
price of a convertible security tends to increase as the market value of the
underlying stock rises, whereas it tends to decrease as the market value of
the underlying stock declines. While no securities investment is without some
risk, investments in convertible securities generally entail less risk than
investments in the common stock of the same issuer.

   
Rule 144A Securities. The Fund may purchase restricted securities that are not
registered for sale to the general public. If it is determined that there is a
dealer or institutional market in the securities, 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. The 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, the 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.

Futures Contracts. The Fund may purchase stock index futures in order to
protect against declines in the value of portfolio securities or increases in
the cost of securities or other assets to be acquired and, subject to
applicable law, to enhance potential gain. Futures contracts provide for the
future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount
of a security at a specified future time and price, or for making payment of a
cash settlement based on changes in the value of a security, an index of
securities or other assets. In many cases, the futures contracts that may be
purchased by the Fund are standardized contracts traded on commodities
exchanges or boards of trade.

Because the value of a futures contract changes based on the price of the
underlying security or other asset, futures contracts are considered to be
"derivatives." Futures contracts are a generally accepted part of modern
portfolio management and are regularly utilized by many mutual funds and other
institutional investors. When the Fund purchases or sells a futures contract, it
is required to make an initial margin deposit. Although the amount may vary,
initial margin can be as low as 1% or less of the face amount of the contract.
Additional margin may be required as the contract fluctuates in value. Since the
amount of margin is relatively small compared to the value of the securities
covered by a futures contract, the potential for gain or loss on a futures
contract is much greater than the amount of the Fund's initial margin deposit.
The Fund does not currently intend to enter into a futures contract if, as a
result, the initial margin deposits on all of the Fund's futures contracts would
exceed approximately 5% of the Fund's net assets. Also, the Fund intends to
limit its futures contracts so that the value of the securities covered by its
futures contracts would not generally exceed 50% of the Fund's total assets
other than its futures contracts and to segregate sufficient assets to meet its
obligations under outstanding futures contracts.

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

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

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

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 the 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. Such characteristics can be expected to continue in the future.

Currency Exchange Contracts. Forward currency exchange contracts may be
entered into for the 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. The 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.

Commercial Paper. The Fund may invest in commercial paper, which is unsecured
debt of corporations usually maturing in 270 days or less from its date of
issuance.

                                1.  THE TRUST

    CitiFunds Trust II is an investment company organized as a business trust
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on April 13, 1984. The
Trust was called Landmark Funds II until its name was changed effective
January 7, 1998. This Statement of Additional Information describes shares of
CitiFunds Large Cap Growth Portfolio (the "Large Cap Growth Fund") and
CitiFunds Small Cap Growth Portfolio (the "Small Cap Growth Fund"), each of
which is a separate series of the Trust. Prior to March 2, 1998, the Large Cap
Growth Fund was called Landmark Equity Fund, and the Small Cap Growth Fund was
called Landmark Small Cap Equity Fund. References in this Statement of
Additional Information to the "Prospectus" of a Fund are to the Prospectus,
dated March 2, 1998, of such Fund.

    Each Fund is permitted to seek its investment objective by investing all
or a portion of its assets in one or more investment companies to the extent
not prohibited by the Investment Company Act of 1940, the rules and
regulations thereunder, and exemptive orders granted under such Act.
Currently, each of the Large Cap Growth Fund and the Small Cap Growth Fund
invests its assets in Large Cap Growth Portfolio and Small Cap Growth
Portfolio, respectively. Prior to November 1, 1997, Large Cap Growth Portfolio
was called Equity Portfolio and Small Cap Growth Portfolio was called Small
Cap Equity Portfolio. The Portfolios are series of The Premium Portfolios and
are open-end, diversified management investment companies. Each Portfolio has
the same investment objective and policies as the Fund that invests in it.
Because each Fund invests through its corresponding Portfolio, all references
in this Statement of Additional Information to a Fund include such Fund's
corresponding Portfolio, except as otherwise noted. In addition, references to
the Trust include the Portfolio Trust, except as otherwise noted.

    Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank" or the "Manager") is the Manager of each
Portfolio. Citibank manages the investments of the Portfolios from day to day
in accordance with each Portfolio's investment objective 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 Boards of Trustees of the 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 CFBDS, Inc., the Funds'
distributor ("CFBDS" or the "Distributor"). Shares of the Funds are sold at
net asset value. CFBDS may receive distribution fees from the Funds pursuant
to a Service Plan adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

                    2.  INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES

    The investment objective of each of the Funds is long-term capital growth.
Dividend income, if any, is incidental to this investment objective.

    The investment objective 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 objective.

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

    While it is the policy of each of the Funds 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 Trust has 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. The 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
Trust 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 Trust may withdraw the investment of any Fund from its corresponding
Portfolio at any time, if the Board of Trustees of the 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 the Fund. The policies
described above and those described below are not fundamental and may be
changed without shareholder approval.

       3. DESCRIPTION OF PERMITTED INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES

FUTURES CONTRACTS

    Each of the Funds may enter into stock index futures contracts. This
investment strategy will be used for hedging purposes and for nonhedging
purposes, subject to applicable law.
    

    A futures contract is an agreement between two parties for the purchase or
sale for future delivery of securities or for the payment or acceptance of a
cash settlement based upon changes in the value of the securities or of an
index of securities. A "sale" of a futures contract means the acquisition of a
contractual obligation to deliver the securities called for by the contract at
a specified price, or to make or accept the cash settlement called for by the
contract, on a specified date. A "purchase" of a futures contract means the
acquisition of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities called for
by the contract at a specified price, or to make or accept the cash settlement
called for by the contract, on a specified date. Futures contracts have been
designed by exchanges which have been designated "contract markets" by the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") and must be executed through a
futures commission merchant, or brokerage firm, which is a member of the
relevant contract market. Futures contracts trade on these markets, and the
exchanges, through their clearing organizations, guarantee that the contracts
will be performed as between the clearing members of the exchange.

   
    While futures contracts do provide for the delivery and acceptance of
securities, such deliveries and acceptances are very seldom made. Generally, a
futures contract is terminated by entering into an offsetting transaction.
Brokerage fees will be incurred when the Fund purchases or sells a futures
contract. At the same time such a purchase or sale is made, the Fund must
provide cash or securities as a deposit ("initial deposit") known as "margin."
The initial deposit required will vary, but may be as low as 1% or less of a
contract's face value. Daily thereafter, the futures contract is valued
through a process known as "marking to market," and the Fund may receive or be
required to pay additional "variation margin" as the futures contract becomes
more or less valuable. At the time of delivery of securities pursuant to such
a contract, adjustments are made to recognize differences in value arising
from the delivery of securities with a different interest rate than the
specific security that provides the standard for the contract. In some (but
not many) cases, securities called for by a futures contract may not have been
issued when the contract was entered into.
    

    Each of the Funds may enter into stock index futures contracts to gain
stock market exposure while holding cash available for investments and
redemptions.

    Although the use of futures for hedging should tend to minimize the risk
of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged position, at the same time
the futures contracts limits any potential gain which might result from an
increase in value of a hedged position.

    In addition, the ability effectively to hedge all or a portion of a Fund's
investments through transactions in futures contracts depends on the degree to
which movements in the value of the securities underlying such contracts
correlate with movements in the value of the Fund's securities. If the
security underlying a futures contract is different than the security being
hedged, they may not move to the same extent or in the same direction. In that
event, the Fund's hedging strategy might not be successful and the Fund could
sustain losses on these hedging transactions which would not be offset by
gains on the Fund's other investments or, alternatively, the gains on the
hedging transaction might not be sufficient to offset losses on the Fund's
other investments. It is also possible that there may be a negative
correlation between the security underlying a futures contract and the
securities being hedged, which could result in losses both on the hedging
transaction and the securities. In these and other instances, the Fund's
overall return could be less than if the hedging transactions had not been
undertaken. Similarly, even where a Fund enters into futures transactions
other than for hedging purposes, the effectiveness of its strategy may be
affected by lack of correlation between changes in the value of the futures
contracts and changes in value of the securities which the Fund would
otherwise buy and sell.

    The ordinary spreads between prices in the cash and futures markets, due
to differences in the nature of those markets, are subject to distortions.
First, all participants in the futures market are subject to initial deposit
and variation margin requirements. Rather than meeting additional variation
margin requirements, investors may close out futures contracts through
offsetting transactions which could distort the normal relationship between
the cash and futures markets. Second, there is the potential that the
liquidity of the futures market may be lacking. Prior to expiration, a futures
contract may be terminated only by entering into a closing purchase or sale
transaction, which requires a secondary market on the contract market on which
the futures contracts was originally entered into. While a Fund will establish
a futures position only if there appears to be a liquid secondary market
therefor, there can be no assurance that such a market will exist for any
particular futures contract at any specific time. In that event, it may not be
possible to close out a position held by the Fund, which could require the
Fund to purchase or sell the instrument underlying the futures contract or to
meet ongoing variation margin requirements. The inability to close out futures
positions also could have an adverse impact on the ability effectively to use
futures transactions for hedging or other purposes.

    The liquidity of a secondary market in a futures contract may be adversely
affected by "daily price fluctuation limits" established by the exchanges,
which limit the amount of fluctuation in the price of a futures contract
during a single trading day and prohibit trading beyond such limits once they
have been reached. The trading of futures contracts also is subject to the
risk of trading halts, suspensions, exchange or clearing house equipment
failures, government intervention, insolvency of a brokerage firm or clearing
house or other disruptions of normal trading activity, which could at times
make it difficult or impossible to liquidate existing positions or to recover
excess variation margin payments.

    Investments in futures contracts also entail the risk that if the
Manager's investment judgment about the general direction of the market is
incorrect, the Fund's overall performance may be poorer than if any such
contract had not been entered into.

    Each contract market on which futures contracts are traded has established
a number of limitations governing the maximum number of positions which may be
held by a trader, whether acting alone or in concert with others. The Manager
does not believe that these trading and position limits would have an adverse
impact on a Fund's hedging strategies.

    CFTC regulations require compliance with certain limitations in order to
assure that a Fund is not deemed to be a "commodity pool" under such
regulations. In particular, CFTC regulations prohibit a Fund from purchasing
or selling futures contracts (other than for bona fide hedging transactions)
if, immediately thereafter, the sum of the amount of initial margin required
to establish that Fund's non-hedging futures positions would exceed 5% of that
Fund's net assets.

    Each Fund will comply with this CFTC requirement, and each Fund currently
intends to adhere to the additional policies described below. First, an amount
of cash or cash equivalents will be maintained by each Fund in a segregated
account with the Fund's custodian so that the amount so segregated, plus the
initial margin held on deposit, will be approximately equal to the amount
necessary to satisfy the Fund's obligations under the futures contract. The
second is that the Fund will not enter into a futures contract if immediately
thereafter the amount of initial margin deposits on all the futures contracts
held by the Fund would exceed approximately 5% of the net assets of the Fund.
The third is that the aggregate market value of the futures contracts held by
a Fund not exceed approximately 50% of the market value of the Fund's total
assets other than its futures contracts. For purposes of this third policy,
"market value" of a futures contract is deemed to be the amount obtained by
multiplying the number of units covered by the futures contract times the per
unit price of the securities covered by that contract.

   
    The use of futures contracts may increase the amount of taxable income of
a Fund and may affect the amount, timing and character of a Fund's income for
tax purposes, as more fully discussed herein in the section entitled "Certain
Additional Tax Matters."
    

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 a 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 a Fund 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. securities 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.

   
    ADRs, EDRs, and GDRs may be issued pursuant to sponsored or unsponsored
programs. In sponsored programs, an issuer has made arrangements to have its
securities traded in the form of depositary receipts. In unsponsored programs,
the issuer may not be directly involved in the creation of the program.
Although regulatory requirements with respect to sponsored and unsponsored
programs are generally similar, in some cases it may be easier to obtain
financial information from an issuer that has participated in the creation of
a sponsored program. Accordingly, there may be less information available
regarding issuers of securities underlying unsponsored programs and there may
not be a correlation between such information and the market value of the
depositary receipts.

    The Funds may invest in securities of non-U.S. issuers that impose
restrictions on transfer within the U.S. or to U.S. 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.

    The risks described above, including the risks of nationalization or
expropriation of assets, are typically increased to the extent that a Fund
invests in issuers located in less developed and developing nations, whose
securities markets are sometimes referred to as "emerging securities markets."
Investments in securities located in such countries are speculative and
subject to certain special risks. Political and economic structures in many of
these countries may be in their infancy and developing rapidly, and such
countries may lack the social, political and economic stability characteristic
of more developed countries. Certain of these countries have in the past
failed to recognize private property rights and have at times nationalized and
expropriated the assets of private companies.

    In addition, unanticipated political or social developments may affect the
value of a Fund's investments in these countries and the availability to the
Fund of additional investments in these countries. The small size, limited
trading volume and relative inexperience of the securities markets in these
countries may make the Fund's investment in such countries illiquid and more
volatile than investments in more developed countries, and the Fund may be
required to establish special custodial or other arrangements before making
investments in these countries. There may be little financial or accounting
information available with respect to issuers located in these countries, and
it may be difficult as a result to assess the value or prospects of an
investment in such issuers.

FOREIGN 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
Trust does 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 may 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 Manager 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 Manager 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 and other depositary receipts 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 these receipts are traded primarily in non-U.S. currencies, changes
in currency exchange rates will affect the value of these receipts. 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 receipts 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 depositary receipts.

   
    Of course, a Fund is not required to enter into such transactions and does
not do so unless deemed appropriate by the Manager. 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.

   
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. Either party has the right to
terminate a loan at any time on customary industry settlement notice (which
will not usually exceed three business 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 with respect to cash
collateral would also receive compensation based on investment of the
collateral (subject to a rebate payable to the borrower). Where the borrower
provides a Fund with collateral consisting of U.S. Treasury obligations, the
borrower is also obligated to pay the Fund a fee for use of the borrowed
securities. 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 Manager to be of good standing, and when, in the judgment of the
Manager, the consideration which can be earned currently from loans of this
type justifies the attendant risk. In addition, a Fund could suffer loss if
the borrower terminates the loan and the Fund is forced to liquidate
investments in order to return the cash collateral to the buyer. If the
Manager determines to make loans, it is not intended that the value of the
securities loaned by a Fund would exceed 30% 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 expects always to 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 Manager 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).

CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES

    The Funds may invest in convertible securities. A convertible security is
a fixed-income security (a bond or preferred stock) which may be converted at
a stated price within a specified period of time into a certain quantity of
common stock or other equity securities of the same or a different issuer.
Convertible securities rank senior to common stock in a corporation's capital
structure but are usually subordinated to similar non-convertible securities.
While providing a fixed-income stream (generally higher in yield than the
income derivable from common stock but lower than that afforded by a smaller
non-convertible security), a convertible security also affords an investor the
opportunity, through its conversion feature, to participate in the capital
appreciation attendant upon a market price advance in the convertible
security's underlying common stock.

    In general, the market value of a convertible security is at least the
higher of its "investment value" (i.e., its value as a fixed-income security)
or its "conversion value" (i.e., its value upon conversion into its underlying
stock). As a fixed-income security, a convertible security tends to increase
in market value when interest rates decline and tends to decrease in value
when interest rates rise. However, the price of a convertible security is also
influenced by the market value of the security's underlying common stock. The
price of a convertible security tends to increase as the market value of the
underlying stock rises, whereas it tends to decrease as the market value of
the underlying stock declines. While no securities investment is without some
risk, investments in convertible securities generally entail less risk than
investments in the common stock of the same issuer.

RULE 144A SECURITIES

    Consistent with applicable investment restrictions, each of the Funds may
purchase securities that are not registered ("restricted 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, no Fund will invest 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
restricted securities, unless the Board of Trustees of the Trust determines,
based on the trading markets for the specific restricted security, that it is
liquid. The Trustees have adopted guidelines and delegated to the Manager the
daily function of determining and monitoring liquidity of restricted
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 restricted securities will develop, the Trustees will carefully monitor
each Fund's investments in these securities, focusing on such factors, among
others, as valuation, liquidity and availability of information.

                         4.  INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

    The Trust, 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; or
    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 fixed time deposits 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; provided that, for purposes of this restriction,
    the issuer of an option or futures contract shall not be deemed to be the
    issuer of the security or securities underlying such contract; and
    provided further that each Fund and Portfolio may invest all or any
    portion of its assets in one or more investment companies, to the extent
    not prohibited by the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations thereunder, and
    exemptive orders granted under such Act.

        (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); provided that, for
    purposes of this restriction, the issuer of an option or futures contract
    shall not be deemed to be the issuer of the security or securities
    underlying such contract; and provided further that each Fund and
    Portfolio may invest all or any portion of its assets in one or more
    investment companies, to the extent not prohibited by the 1940 Act, the
    rules and regulations thereunder, and exemptive orders granted under such
    Act.
    

        (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 objective, up to 25% of its assets, at market value at the time
    of each investment, may be invested in any one industry, except that
    positions in futures contracts shall not be subject to this restriction.

   
        (6) Underwrite securities issued by other persons, except that all or
    any portion of the assets of the Fund or Portfolio may be invested in one
    or more investment companies, to the extent not prohibited by the 1940
    Act, the rules and regulations thereunder, and exemptive orders granted
    under such Act, and except insofar as the Fund or Portfolio may
    technically be deemed an underwriter under the Securities 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 (the foregoing
    shall not be deemed to preclude the Fund or Portfolio from purchasing or
    selling futures contracts or options thereon, and each Fund and 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 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.

   
    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.

                         5.  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.

    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 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 shares of each
Fund for the periods indicated, assuming that dividends and capital gains
distributions, if any, were reinvested.

    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.

              6.  DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE; VALUATION OF
                SECURITIES; ADDITIONAL REDEMPTION INFORMATION

    The net asset value per share 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 Exchange is open for
trading every weekday except for the following holidays (or the days on which
they are observed): New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. 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 (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) by adding
the market value of all securities and other assets of a Fund (including the
Fund's interest in its corresponding Portfolio), then subtracting the Fund's
liabilities, and then dividing the result by the number of outstanding shares
of the Fund. The net asset value per share is effective for orders received
and accepted by the Transfer Agent 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 the 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 the 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 the Trust.

    Trading in securities on most foreign 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 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 may be
valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under
the general supervision of the Board of Trustees of the 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 premiums.

    Subject to compliance with applicable regulations, the Trust has reserved
the right to pay the redemption price of shares of a Fund, 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 being
sold. If a holder of shares received a distribution in kind, such holder could
incur brokerage or other charges in converting the securities to cash.

    The Trust may suspend the right of redemption or postpone the date of
payment for shares of a Fund 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 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.

- ----------
(1) For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997.
(2) Information relates to the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997. Messrs.
    Coolidge, Gilley, Morong, Warren and Woods, and Mses. Harrington and
    Kerley are Trustees of 55, 31, 28, 28, 30, 29 and 29 funds and portfolios,
    respectively, in the family of open-end registered investment companies
    advised or managed by Citibank.
(3) Mr. Alvord retired as a Trustee on May 31, 1997.

    As of February 28, 1998, all Trustees and officers as a group owned less
than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund. As of the same date, more than
95% of the outstanding shares of each Fund were held of record by Citibank,
N.A. or its affiliates as Service Agents of the Fund for the accounts of their
respective clients.

    The Declaration of each of the Trust and the Portfolio Trust provides that
the Trust or the Portfolio Trust, as the case may be, 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 Trust or the Portfolio Trust, as the case may be, unless, as to liability
to the Trust, 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 Trust 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 Trust
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.
    

MANAGER

   
    Citibank manages the assets of each Portfolio and provides certain
administrative services to the Trust and the Portfolio Trust pursuant to
separate management agreements (the "Management Agreements"). Subject to such
policies as the Board of Trustees of the Portfolio Trust may determine,
Citibank manages the securities of each Portfolio and makes investment
decisions for each Portfolio. Citibank 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. The Management Agreement with the Portfolio Trust provides that
Citibank may delegate the daily management of the securities of each Portfolio
to one or more subadvisers. The Management Agreement with the Portfolio Trust
will continue in effect until August 8, 1999 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
Management Agreement or interested persons of any such party, at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on the Management Agreement. The Management
Agreement with the Trust will continue in effect until August 8, 1999 and
thereafter as long as such continuance is specifically approved at least
annually by the Board of Trustees of the Trust or by a vote of a majority of
the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Fund, and, in either case,
by a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not parties to the
Management Agreement or interested persons of any such party, at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on the Management Agreement.
    

    Citibank provides the Trust and the Portfolio Trust with general office
facilities and supervises the overall administration of the Trust and the
Portfolio Trust, including, among other responsibilities, the negotiation of
contracts and fees with, and the monitoring of performance and billings of,
the Trust's or the Portfolio Trust's independent contractors and agents; the
preparation and filing of all documents required for compliance by the Trust
or the Portfolio Trust with applicable laws and regulations; and arranging for
the maintenance of books and records of the Trust or the Portfolio Trust.
Trustees, officers, and investors in the Trust and the Portfolio Trust are or
may be or may become interested in Citibank, as directors, officers,
employees, or otherwise and directors, officers and employees of Citibank are
or may become similarly interested in the Trust and the Portfolio Trust.

    Each Management Agreement provides that Citibank may render services to
others. Each Management Agreement is terminable without penalty on not more
than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written notice by the Portfolio Trust or
the Trust, as the case may be, when authorized either by a vote of a majority
of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Portfolio or Fund or by
a vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Portfolio Trust or the
Trust, or by Citibank on not more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written
notice, and will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment. The
Management Agreement with the Portfolio Trust provides that neither Citibank
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 Management Agreement with the
Portfolio Trust. The Management Agreement with the Trust provides that neither
Citibank nor its personnel shall be liable for any error of judgment or
mistake of law or for any omission in the administration or management of the
Trust or the performance of its duties under the Management Agreement, except
for willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence or reckless disregard
of its or their obligations and duties under the Management Agreement with the
Trust.

   
    The Prospectus for each Fund contains a description of the fees payable to
Citibank for services under each of the Management Agreements. Citibank may
reimburse any Fund or Portfolio or waive all or a portion of its management
fees.

    Pursuant to a sub-administrative services agreement with Citibank, CFBDS

as from time to time are agreed upon by Citibank and CFBDS. For performing
such sub-administrative services, CFBDS receives compensation as from time to
time is agreed upon by Citibank, not in excess of the amount paid to Citibank
for its services under the Management Agreements with the Trust and the
Portfolio Trust.  All such compensation is paid by Citibank.
    

DISTRIBUTOR

   
    CFBDS, 6 St. James Avenue, Boston, MA  02116, serves as the Distributor of
each Fund's shares pursuant to a Distribution Agreement with the Trust (the

Agreement will continue from year to year upon annual approval by the Trust's
Board of Trustees, or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the particular Fund and by the vote of a majority of the Board
of Trustees of the Trust who are not parties to the Distribution Agreement or
interested persons of any party to the Distribution Agreement, cast in person
at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. The
Distribution Agreement will terminate in the event of its assignment, as
defined in the 1940 Act.
    

    Under a Service Plan for shares of the Funds (the "Service Plan") which
has been adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Funds
may pay monthly fees at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average
daily net assets of each Fund. Such fees may be used to make payments to the
Distributor for distribution services, to securities dealers and other
industry professionals (called Service Agents) that have entered into service
agreements with the Distributor and others in respect of the sale of shares of
the Funds, and to other parties in respect of the sale of shares of the Funds,
and to make payments for advertising, marketing or other promotional activity,
and payments for preparation, printing, and distribution of prospectuses,
statements of additional information and reports for recipients other than
regulators and existing shareholders. The Funds also may make payments to the
Distributor, Service Agents and others for providing personal service or the
maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Funds and the Distributor provide to
the Trustees quarterly a written report of amounts expended pursuant to
Service Plan and the purposes for which the expenditures were made.

    The Service Plan obligates the Funds to pay fees to the Distributor,
Service Agents and others as compensation for their services, not as
reimbursement for specific expenses incurred. Thus, even if their expenses
exceed the fees provided for by the Service Plan for any Fund, the Fund will
not be obligated to pay more than those fees and, if their expenses are less
than the fees paid to them, they will realize a profit. Each Fund will pay the
fees to the Distributor, Service Agents and others until the Service Plan or
Distribution Agreement is terminated or not renewed. In that event, the
Distributor's or Service Agent's expenses in excess of fees received or
accrued through the termination date will be the Distributor's or Service
Agent's sole responsibility and not obligations of the Fund. In their annual
consideration of the continuation of the Service Plan for each Fund, the
Trustees will review the Service Plan and the expenses for each Fund
separately.

    From time to time the Distributor may make payments for distribution out
of its past profits or any other sources available to it.

    The Service Plan continues in effect if such continuance is specifically
approved at least annually by a vote of both a majority of the Trust's
Trustees and a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of
the Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the
operation of the Service Plan or in any agreement related to the Plan (for
purposes of this paragraph "Qualified Trustees"). The Service Plan requires
that the 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 Service Plan. The Service 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 Service Plan may be terminated with respect
to any Fund at any time by a vote of a majority of the Trust's Qualified
Trustees or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
that Fund. The Service Plan 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 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 the Service Plan for a period of not less
than six years, and for the first two years the Distributor will preserve such
copies in an easily accessible place.

   
    As contemplated by the Service Plan, CFBDS acts as the agent of the Trust
in connection with the offering of shares of the Funds pursuant to the
Distribution Agreement. The Prospectus contains a description of fees payable
to the Distributor under the Distribution Agreement. For the fiscal years
ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, the fees payable to CFBDS under a
prior distribution agreement with respect to Large Cap Growth Portfolio were
$96,083, $98,112 and $336,950 (of which $224,633 was voluntarily waived),
respectively, no portion of which was applicable to reimbursement for expenses
incurred in connection with print or electronic media advertising. For the
period from January 1, 1997 to October 31, 1997, the fees payable to CFBDS
under a prior distribution agreement and the current Distribution Agreement
with respect to Large Cap Growth Portfolio were $101,807. For the period from
June 21, 1995 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1995 and for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, the fees payable to CFBDS under a prior
distribution agreement with respect to Small Cap Growth Fund were $687 and
$23,974 (all of which was voluntarily waived), respectively, no portion of
which was applicable to reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection with
print or electronic media advertising. For the period from January 1, 1997 to
October 31, 1997, the fees payable to CFBDS under a prior distribution
agreement and the current Distribution Agreement with respect to Small Cap
Growth Fund were $31,537 (all of which was voluntarily waived). The foregoing
amounts were spent on advertising, printing and mailing expenses.
    

    The Distributor may enter into agreements with Service Agents and may pay
compensation to such Service Agents for accounts for which the Service Agents
are holders of record. Payments may be made to the Service Agents out of the
distribution fees received by the Distributor and out of the Distributor's
past profits or any other source available to it.

   
TRANSFER AGENT AND CUSTODIAN

    The Trust has entered into a Transfer Agency and Service Agreement with
State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") pursuant to which State
Street acts as transfer agent for each Fund. The Trust also has entered into a
Custodian Agreement and a Fund Accounting Agreement with State Street,
pursuant to which custodial and fund accounting services, respectively, are

each Prospectus for additional information.

    The Portfolio Trust, on behalf of the Portfolios, has entered into
Custodian Agreements with State Street pursuant to which State Street acts as
custodian for each Portfolio. The Portfolio Trust, on behalf of the
Portfolios, also has entered into Fund Accounting Agreements with State Street
Cayman Trust Company, Ltd. ("State Street Cayman") pursuant to which State
Street Cayman provides fund accounting services for each Portfolio. State
Street Cayman also provides transfer agency services to the Portfolio Trust.

    The principal business address of State Street is 225 Franklin Street,
Boston, Massachusetts 02110. The principal business address of State Street
Cayman is P.O. Box 2508 GT, Grand Cayman, British West Indies.

chartered accountants for the Portfolio Trust. The address of Price Waterhouse
is Suite 3000, Box 82, Royal Trust Towers, Toronto Dominion Center, Toronto,
Ontario, Canada M5K 1G8.

                          8.  PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

    The 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 objective. 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.  Specific decisions to
purchase or sell securities for each Fund are made by a portfolio manager who
is an employee of Citibank and who is appointed and supervised by its senior
officers. The portfolio manager may serve other clients of Citibank in a
similar capacity.

    In connection with the selection of brokers or dealers and the placing of
portfolio securities transactions, brokers or dealers may be selected who also
provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to a Fund and/or the other
accounts over which Citibank or its affiliates exercise investment discretion.
Citibank is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage
and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for a
Fund which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer
would have charged for effecting that transaction if Citibank determines in
good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the
value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or
dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular
transaction or the overall responsibilities which Citibank and its affiliates
have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion.
The Trustees of the Trust periodically review the commissions paid by a Fund
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were
reasonable in relation to the benefits to a Fund.

    The management fees that a Fund pays to Citibank will not be reduced as a
consequence of Citibank's receipt of brokerage and research services. While
such services are not expected to reduce the expenses of Citibank, Citibank
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 or obtain such services independently.

    In certain instances there may be securities that are suitable as an
investment for a Fund as well as for one or more of Citibank's other clients.
Investment decisions for a Fund and for Citibank'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 Citibank 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 period from May 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994, for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 and for the period from January 1, 1997 to
October 31, 1997, the Large Cap Growth Portfolio paid brokerage commissions of
$342,356, $418,145, $586,248 and $643,728, respectively. For the period from
June 21, 1995 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1995, for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 and for the period from January 1, 1997 to
October 31, 1997, the Small Cap Growth Portfolio paid brokerage commissions in
the amount of $6,544, $84,320 and $77,226, respectively.

           9.  DESCRIPTION OF SHARES, VOTING RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES

    The 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 and to divide
such series into classes. The Trust has reserved the right to create and issue
additional series and classes of shares. Each share of a Fund represents an
equal proportionate interest in the Fund with each other share. Shares of each
series of the Trust participate equally in the earnings, dividends and
distribution of net assets of the particular series upon liquidation or
dissolution. 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 Trust. In matters affecting only a particular series or class, only shares
of that particular series 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 the Trust do not have
cumulative voting rights, and shareholders owning more than 50% of the
outstanding shares of the 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. The Trust is not required and has no
present intention of holding, annual meetings of shareholders but the Trust
will hold special meetings of a Fund's shareholders when in the judgment of
the Trust's 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 the 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 Restrictions.")

    The 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 the Trust recommend such sale of assets, merger or consolidation,
the approval by vote of the holders of a majority of the Trust's or the
affected series' outstanding shares would be sufficient. The Trust or any
series of the 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.

   
    The 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 the
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 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.

    The 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 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.

    The Portfolios are series of the Portfolio Trust, organized as a trust
under the laws of the State of New York. Each investor in a Portfolio,
including the applicable 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.

                     10.  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 of the Fund's
portfolio assets. Provided all such requirements are met, no U.S. federal or
state income or federal excise taxes generally will be required to be paid by
a Fund, although non-U.S. source income earned by a Fund may be subject to
non-U.S. withholding or other taxes. If any 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 to 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.
    

    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.

   
    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; a
long-term capital gain realized by an individual shareholder will be eligible
for reduced tax rates if the shares were held for more than eighteen months.
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.

    Each Fund's transactions in options, futures contracts and 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 options,
futures contracts and forward contracts to the extent necessary to meet the
requirements of Subchapter M of the Code.

    The Funds may make non-U.S. investments. Special tax considerations apply
with respect to such investments. Foreign exchange gains and losses realized
by a Fund will generally be treated as ordinary income and loss. Use of non-
U.S. currencies for non-hedging purposes may be limited in order to avoid a
tax on a Fund. A Fund may elect to mark to market any investments in "passive
foreign investment companies" on the last day of each taxable year. This
election may cause the Fund to recognize ordinary income prior to the receipt
of cash payments with respect to those investments; in order to distribute
this income and avoid a tax on the Fund, the Fund may be required to liquidate
portfolio securities that it might otherwise have continued to hold.
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. taxes.
The U.S. 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. Each Fund intends to qualify for treaty reduced rates where
applicable. It is not possible, however, to determine a Fund's effective rate
of non-U.S. tax in advance since the amount of the Fund's assets to be
invested within various countries is not known.

    If a Fund holds more than 50% of its assets in foreign stock and
securities at the close of its taxable year, the Fund may elect to "pass
through" to the Fund's shareholders foreign income taxes paid. If a Fund so
elects, shareholders will be required to treat their pro rata portion of the
foreign income taxes paid by the Fund as part of the amounts distributed to
them by the Fund and thus includable in their gross income for federal income
tax purposes. Shareholders who itemize deductions would then be allowed to
claim a deduction or credit (but not both) on their federal income tax returns
for such amounts, subject to certain limitations. Shareholders who do not
itemize deductions would (subject to such limitations) be able to claim a
credit but not a deduction. No deduction for such amounts will be permitted to
individuals in computing their alternative minimum tax liability. If a Fund
does not qualify or elect to "pass through" to its shareholders foreign income
taxes paid by it, shareholders will not be able to claim any deduction or
credit for any part of the foreign taxes paid by the Fund.

    Each Fund will withhold tax payments at a rate of 30% (or any lower
applicable tax treaty rate) on taxable dividends and other payments subject to
withholding taxes that are made to persons who are not citizens or residents
of the U.S. Distributions received from a Fund by non-U.S. persons also may be
subject to tax under the laws of their own jurisdiction.

    The account application asks each new shareholder to certify that the
shareholder's Social Security or taxpayer identification number is correct and
that the shareholder is not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to
report income to the IRS. Each Fund may be required to withhold (and pay over
to the IRS for the shareholder's credit) tax at the rate of 31% on certain
distributions and redemption proceeds paid to shareholders who fail to provide
this information or who otherwise violate IRS regulations.
