OVERVIEW
This prospectus describes seven Portfolios offered by the Fund. Each is a
separate investment portfolio with its own investment objective or objectives,
policies, restrictions and risks. An investor should consider each Portfolio
separately to determine if it is an appropriate investment. There is no
assurance that a Portfolio will achieve its investment objective or objectives,
and investors should not consider any one Portfolio alone to be a complete
investment program. As with all mutual funds, there is a risk that an investor
could lose money by investing in a Portfolio.
The different types of securities, investments, and investment techniques used
by each Portfolio all have attendant risks of varying degrees. For example, with
respect to equity securities, there can be no assurance of capital appreciation
and an investment in any stock is subject to the risk that the stock market as a
whole may decline, thereby depressing the stock's price (market risk), or the
risk that the price of a particular issuer's stock may decline due to its
financial results (financial risk). With respect to debt securities, there
exists the risk that the issuer of a security may not be able to meet its
obligations on interest or principal payments at the time required by the
instrument (credit risk, a type of financial risk). In addition, the value of
debt and other income bearing securities generally rises and falls inversely
with prevailing current interest rates (interest rate risk, a type of market
risk). As described below, an investment in certain of the Portfolios entails
special additional risks as a result of their ability to invest a substantial
portion of their assets in foreign investments, or securities of issuers in new
or emerging industries. See "Risks of Investing in the Portfolios," below.
The following chart provides a brief outline of the relative principal
characteristics of each Portfolio:

Notwithstanding their investment objective(s), each Portfolio may, in unusual
market conditions, for temporary defensive purposes, invest all or part of their
assets in cash and/or money market instruments of the type in which the Money
Market Portfolio may invest. To the extent that a Portfolio adopts a temporary
defensive position, it may not achieve its investment objective.
SHARES OF THE FUND AND THE PORTFOLIOS ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR OBLIGATIONS OF, OR
GUARANTEED OR ENDORSED BY, ANY FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, AND ARE NOT INSURED BY THE
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY. AN
INVESTMENT IN THE FUND AND THE PORTFOLIOS IS SUBJECT TO INVESTMENT RISKS,
INCLUDING POSSIBLE LOSS OF MONEY INVESTED.
Shares of the Portfolios are only available through the purchase of certain
variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts (the "variable
contracts") issued by various life insurance companies, some of which may be
affiliated persons of the Portfolios. This prospectus should be read in
conjunction with the separate prospectus for each separate account and its
related policy and retained for future reference.
See "Appendix A -- Terms Used in This Prospectus" for more information about
some of the terms we use in this prospectus.

ABOUT THE PORTFOLIOS
[ ] THE MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
Maximum current income consistent with capital preservation and liquidity.
PRIMARY INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Money Market Portfolio invests exclusively in dollar-denominated money
market instruments that present minimal credit risks. These include U.S.
government securities, bank obligations, repurchase agreements, commercial
paper, and other corporate debt obligations. See Appendix A to the SAI for a
complete discussion of the money market instruments in which the Portfolio may
invest.
All of the Money Market Portfolio's money market instruments mature in 13 months
or less. The average maturity of such securities, based on their weighted dollar
value, does not exceed 90 days. The Portfolio intends to maintain a stable value
of $1.00 per share. All of the Portfolio's assets are rated in the two highest
short-term categories (or their unrated equivalents) by an NRSRO and 95% of its
assets are rated in the highest category (or its unrated equivalent) by an
NRSRO. A more detailed description of the rating categories is contained in the
SAI.
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIO
While the Money Market Portfolio only invests in high quality money market
instruments, these investments are not entirely without risk. High quality money
market instruments generally do not yield as high a level of income as
longer-term or lower-grade securities. In addition, the yield of the Portfolio
will vary with changes in interest rates. There is a remote possibility that the
Portfolio's share value could fall below $1.00, which could reduce the value of
an investment in the Portfolio.
To the extent that it invests in certain securities, the Money Market Portfolio
may be affected by additional risks relating to REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS (credit
risk) and WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES (market, opportunity, and leverage risks).
However, such risks are lessened by the high quality of the securities in which
the Portfolio invests.
These risks are described in more detail later in this Prospectus. SHARES OF THE
PORTFOLIO ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR OBLIGATIONS OF, OR GUARANTEED OR ENDORSED BY, ANY
FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, AND ARE NOT INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE
CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY. Investors should carefully read
"Risks of Investing in the Portfolios" and "Investment Techniques" below before
investing in this Portfolio.

[ ] THE GROWTH PORTFOLIO
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
Intermediate and long-term growth of capital. A reasonable level of income is an
important secondary objective.
PRIMARY INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Growth Portfolio invests primarily in common stocks of companies that the
Adviser believes offer above-average intermediate and long-term growth
potential. The Portfolio purchases securities only of companies that have:
- A minimum level of sales/revenue of $50 million per year in at least one
recent year
- Profitable operations (i.e., have some net income before non-recurring
gains or losses)
Generally, the Portfolio holds common stocks listed on national securities
exchanges but it can hold up to 20% of its total assets in stocks only traded
over-the-counter. The Portfolio also may invest in other equity securities and
nonconvertible debt obligations. Often, the Adviser follows a VALUE ORIENTED
investment strategy.
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIO
The Growth Portfolio is subject to MARKET RISK and FINANCIAL RISK. For equity
securities, market risk is the risk that the stock market as a whole may
decline, depressing the price of securities in which the Portfolio invests. For
equity securities, financial risk is the risk that the price of a particular
issuer's stock may decline because of its financial results.
In addition to these general risks, the Growth Portfolio may be subject to
greater volatility over short periods of time because of its intermediate and
long-term focus. Certain of its investments may rise or fall based on investor
perception and attitude rather than economic valuations.
These risks, and the risks associated with other higher-risk securities and
practices that the Portfolio may utilize, are described in more detail later in
this Prospectus. Investors should carefully read "Risks of Investing in the
Portfolios" and "Investment Techniques" below before investing in this
Portfolio.

Portfolio will perform in the future.

[ ] THE BOND PORTFOLIO
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
A high level of current income consistent with prudent investment risk.
PRIMARY INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Bond Portfolio invests in a diversified portfolio of marketable debt
securities of U.S. and foreign issuers. At least 75% of the value of the Bond
Portfolio's total investment in corporate debt securities (other than commercial
paper) consists of investment-grade securities, and the remaining 25% may be
invested in such securities rated one category below investment grade.
Securities of foreign issuers are purchased only if they are investment grade,
denominated in U.S. dollars, and pay any income in U.S. dollars.
The Bond Portfolio may purchase securities that carry certain equity features
such as conversion or exchange rights or warrants for the acquisition of stock
(of the same or of a different issuer) or participations based on revenues,
sales or profits.
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIO
The Bond Portfolio is subject to MARKET RISK, CREDIT RISK and INTEREST RATE
RISK. To the extent that it invests in certain securities, the Bond Portfolio
may assume additional risks relating to LOWER QUALITY DEBT INSTRUMENTS,
SHORT-TERM TRADING and SECURITIES OF FOREIGN ISSUERS. Lower quality debt
instruments are subject to above-average interest rate risk and credit risk,
tend to have a higher default rate, and are speculative with only an adequate
capacity to repay principal and interest. Short-term trading may result in
higher turnover and transaction expenses for the Portfolio. Securities of
foreign issuers entail risks not associated with domestic securities. For
example, foreign issuers often are subject to securities laws, and accounting
and reporting practices, less stringent than those in the U.S., and they may be
adversely impacted by political or economic instability or changes in currency
exchange rates.
These risks, and the risks associated other higher-risk securities and practices
that the Portfolio may utilize, are described in more detail later in this
Prospectus. Investors should carefully read "Risks of Investing in the
Portfolios" and "Investment Techniques" below before investing in this
Portfolio.

[ ] THE MANAGED PORTFOLIO
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
As high a level of long-term total rate of return as is consistent with prudent
investment risk.
PRIMARY INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Managed Portfolio invests in securities that are permissible investments of
the Money Market, Growth, Bond, Aggressive Growth, Sentinel Growth and
International Portfolios. The Adviser may invest the Managed Portfolio's assets
solely in common stocks, solely in debt securities, solely in money market
instruments, or in a combination of these types of investments. At least 75% of
the value of the Managed Portfolio's total investment in corporate debt
securities (other than commercial paper) consists of investment-grade
securities, and the remaining 25% may be invested in such securities rated one
category below investment grade. The Managed Portfolio also may invest in
securities of issuers located in countries with emerging economies and/or
securities markets.
The Managed Portfolio's investment strategies may result in the Portfolio having
a higher than average portfolio turnover rate. Higher portfolio turnover results
in correspondingly increased brokerage expenses and other acquisition costs to
the Portfolio.
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIO
The Managed Portfolio is subject to MARKET RISK, FINANCIAL RISK, CREDIT RISK and
INTEREST RATE RISK. To the extent that it invests in certain securities, the
Portfolio may assume additional risks relating to LOWER QUALITY DEBT
INSTRUMENTS, SHORT-TERM TRADING and SECURITIES OF FOREIGN ISSUERS AND NON-DOLLAR
SECURITIES. Lower quality debt instruments are subject to above-average interest
rate risk and credit risk, tend to have a higher default rate, and are
speculative with only an adequate capacity to repay principal and interest.
Short-term trading may result in higher turnover and transaction expenses for
the Portfolio. Securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities entail
risks not associated with domestic securities or dollar-denominated securities.
For example, foreign issuers often are subject to securities laws, and
accounting and reporting practices, less stringent than those in the U.S., and
they may be adversely impacted by political or economic instability or changes
in currency exchange rates.
In order to meet the Portfolio's investment objective, the adviser must
determine the proper mix of equity, debt and money market securities. It may not
properly ascertain the appropriate mix of securities for any particular economic
cycle. Also, the timing of movements from one type of security to another could
have a negative effect on the Portfolio's overall objective.
These risks, and the risks associated other higher-risk securities and practices
that the Portfolio may utilize, are described in more detail later in this
Prospectus. Investors should carefully read "Risks of Investing in the
Portfolios" and "Investment Techniques" below before investing in this
Portfolio.

<PAGE> 13
[ ] THE AGGRESSIVE GROWTH PORTFOLIO
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
A high level of long-term capital appreciation.
PRIMARY INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Aggressive Growth Portfolio invests primarily in:
- securities of companies in new or emerging industries
- securities of small capitalization companies and/or unseasoned companies
Substantially all of the Portfolio's assets consist of equity securities of
companies that the Adviser believes have better than average appreciation
potential. The Adviser selects such securities on the basis of their
appreciation potential without restriction as to their type.
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIO
The Aggressive Growth Portfolio invests in securities which generally entail
above-average MARKET RISK and FINANCIAL RISK. The Portfolio also is subject to
SMALL COMPANY RISK. Smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or
financial resources and their securities may trade less frequently and in more
limited volume than the securities of larger or more established companies. The
prices of securities of smaller companies may fluctuate to a greater degree than
the prices of securities of other issuers. Loss of money is a significant risk
of investing in this Portfolio.
To the extent that it invests in certain securities, the Portfolio may assume
additional risks relating to ADRs, GDRs and EDRs (i.e., the risks of investing
in the securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities). Securities of
foreign issuers and non-dollar securities entail risks not associated with
domestic securities or dollar-denominated securities. For example, foreign
issuers often are subject to securities laws, and accounting and reporting
practices, less stringent than those in the U.S., and they may be adversely
impacted by political or economic instability or changes in currency exchange
rates.
These risks, and the risks associated other higher-risk securities and practices
that the Portfolio may utilize, are described in more detail later in this
Prospectus. Investors should carefully read "Risks of Investing in the
Portfolios" and "Investment Techniques" below before investing in this
Portfolio.

[ ] THE SENTINEL GROWTH PORTFOLIO
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
Long-term growth of capital.
PRIMARY INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Sentinel Growth Portfolio invests in equity securities of well-established
companies that the Adviser believes have more favorable growth potential than
that of the U.S. economy as a whole. Such companies generally have favorable
growth potential and experienced managements. Under normal market conditions,
this Portfolio is fully invested in equity securities, however, the Portfolio
may temporarily invest in income-bearing securities.
The Adviser favors growth potential rather than portfolio diversification in
selecting securities for the Portfolio. The Adviser does not use income as a
factor in selecting the Portfolio's investments. If the Adviser believes it to
be appropriate, it may invest up to 25% of the Portfolio's total assets in
securities of companies within a single industry.
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIO
The Sentinel Growth Portfolio is subject to MARKET RISK and FINANCIAL RISK. To
the extent the Portfolio emphasizes investment in a single industry, economic
and market factors affecting that industry will have a greater impact on the
Portfolio. These risks, and the risks associated with other higher-risk
securities and practices that the Portfolio may utilize, are described in more
detail later in this Prospectus. Investors should carefully read "Risks of
Investing in the Portfolios" and "Investment Techniques" below before investing
in this Portfolio.

[ ] THE INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
Long-term growth of capital primarily through investments in a diversified
portfolio of marketable equity securities of established foreign issuer
companies.
PRIMARY INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The International Portfolio invests primarily in equity securities of
established foreign issuer companies and of companies organized in the United
States but having their principal activities and interests outside the United
States that the Adviser believes have potential for long-term capital growth.
Many such securities are non-dollar securities. The Portfolio also may invest in
other foreign issuer securities such as those of foreign governments or agencies
or instrumentalities of foreign governments.
Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio invests at least 75% of its total
assets in the securities of foreign issuers located (or, in the case of the
securities, traded) in at least five different countries other than the United
States. Nonetheless, under certain economic and business conditions the
Portfolio may invest up to 35% of its total assets in the securities of issuers
located (or, in the case of the securities, traded) in any one of the following
countries:
- Australia
- Canada
- France
- Japan
- The United Kingdom
- Germany
The International Portfolio also may invest in securities of foreign issuers in
the form of sponsored and unsponsored ADRs, EDRs and GDRs (see "Investment
Techniques"). The International Portfolio also may, under normal market
conditions, invest up to 35% of its total assets in investment-grade debt
securities of foreign issuers. See "Risks of Investing in the Portfolios,"
below. The Portfolio engages in a VALUE ORIENTED investing strategy.
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIO
The International Portfolio is subject to MARKET RISK and FINANCIAL RISK. The
International Portfolio is subject to a significant degree of FOREIGN ISSUER AND
NON-DOLLAR SECURITIES RISK. Securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar
securities entail risks not associated with domestic securities or dollar-
denominated securities. For example, foreign issuers often are subject to
securities laws, and accounting and reporting practices, less stringent than
those in the U.S., and they may be adversely impacted by political or economic
instability or changes in currency exchange rates.
The Portfolio's investments in securities of issuers located in countries with
emerging economies or securities markets entail EMERGING MARKETS RISK. The risks
of investing in securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities are even
greater in emerging markets than in Japan or most Western European countries.
Emerging market countries are undergoing rapid development, and may lack the
social, political and economic stability characteristic of more developed
countries.
These risks, and the risks associated other higher-risk securities and practices
that the Portfolio may utilize, are described in more detail later in this
Prospectus. Investors should carefully read "Risks of Investing in the
Portfolios" and "Investment Techniques" below before investing in this
Portfolio.

THE PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE
The bar chart and table shown below provide an indication of the risks of
investing in the International Portfolio by showing changes in the Portfolio's
performance from year to year over a 7-year period and by showing how the
Portfolio's average annual returns for one and five years, and the period since
inception, compare to those of the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe,
Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index. How the Portfolio has performed in the past
is not necessarily an indication of how the Portfolio will perform in the
future.

RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIOS
Each Portfolio is subject to the risk that it may not achieve its investment
objective, and an investor may lose money (including the principal invested) by
investing in it. No one Portfolio alone should be considered a complete
investment program, and any Portfolio's performance could fall below that of
other possible investments.
Because each Portfolio invests in a different mix of securities and employs a
unique strategy for achieving its goals, the risks associated with each
Portfolio will vary. While the actual performance of any mutual fund cannot be
predicted, investors should consider the possible risks associated with a
Portfolio's investments. Such risks include:
CORRELATION RISK. The risk that changes in the value of a hedging instrument or
hedging technique will not match those of the asset being hedged (hedging is the
use of one investment to offset the possible adverse effects of another
investment).
CREDIT RISK. The risk that the issuer of a security, or the counterparty to a
contract, will default or otherwise not honor a financial obligation.
CURRENCY RISK. The risk that fluctuations in the exchange rates between the
U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may adversely affect the value of an
investment. Currency fluctuations may negatively impact a Portfolio's portfolio
even if the foreign stock has not declined in value in its own currency. For
example:
- A decline in the dollar value of other currencies would reduce the value
of certain portfolio investments denominated in such currencies
- A Portfolio may have to sell portfolio securities to pay dividends to
shareholders if the exchange rate for the currency in which a Portfolio
receives interest payments declines against the U.S. dollar before such
interest is paid to shareholders.
EXTENSION RISK. The risk that an unexpected rise in prevailing interest rates
will extend the life of an outstanding mortgage-backed security by reducing the
expected number of mortgage prepayments, typically reducing the security's
value.
FINANCIAL RISK. For debt securities, credit risk. For equity securities, the
risk that the issuer's earning prospects and overall financial position will
deteriorate, causing a decline in the security's value.
RISKS OF INVESTING IN SECURITIES OF FOREIGN ISSUERS AND NON-DOLLAR
SECURITIES. Investments in the securities of foreign issuers or investments in
non-dollar securities involve significant risks that are not typically
associated with investing in U.S. dollar-denominated securities or securities of
domestic issuers. Such investments may be affected by changes in currency
exchange rates, changes in foreign or U.S. laws or restrictions applicable to
such investments and in currency exchange control regulations. Some foreign
stock markets (and other securities markets) may have substantially less volume
than, for example, the New York Stock Exchange (or other domestic markets) and
securities of some foreign issuers may be less liquid than securities of
comparable domestic issuers. Commissions and dealer mark-ups on transactions in
securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities may be higher than for
similar transactions in the United States. In addition, clearance and settlement
procedures may be different in foreign countries and, in certain markets, on
certain occasions, such procedures have been unable to keep pace with the volume
of securities transactions, thus making it difficult to conduct such
transactions. The inability of a Portfolio to make intended investments due to
settlement problems could cause it to miss attractive investment opportunities.
Inability to dispose of portfolio securities or other investments due to
settlement problems could result either in losses to a Portfolio due to
subsequent declines in value of the portfolio investment or, if the Portfolio
has entered into a contract to sell the investment, could result in possible
liability to the purchaser.
18
<PAGE> 20
Foreign issuers are not generally subject to uniform accounting, auditing and
financial reporting standards comparable to those applicable to domestic
companies, and there may be less publicly available information about a foreign
issuer than about a domestic one. In addition, there is generally less
government regulation of stock exchanges, brokers, and listed and unlisted
issuers in foreign countries than in the United States. Furthermore, with
respect to certain foreign countries, there is a possibility of expropriation or
confiscatory taxation, imposition of withholding taxes on dividend or interest
payments, limitations on the removal of cash or other assets of the Portfolio,
or political or social instability or diplomatic developments which could affect
investments in those countries. Individual foreign economies also may differ
favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of
gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-
sufficiency and balance of payments position.
The INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO and the MANAGED PORTFOLIO may invest in securities
of issuers located in countries with emerging economies and/or securities
markets. These countries are located in the Asia-Pacific region, Eastern Europe,
Central and South America and Africa. Political and economic structures and
institutions in many of these countries are undergoing significant evolution and
rapid development, 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 or expropriated assets of private companies. In addition,
unanticipated political or social developments may affect the values of
investments in these countries and the ability of a Portfolio to make additional
investments in them. The small size, inexperience and limited trading volume of
the securities markets in certain of these countries may also make investments
in such countries more volatile and less liquid than investments in securities
traded in markets in Japan and Western European countries. As a result, these
Portfolios may be required to establish special custody or other arrangements
before making certain investments in these countries. There may be little
financial or accounting information available with respect to issuers located in
certain of these countries, and it may be difficult as a result to assess the
value or prospects of an investment in such issuers. The laws of some foreign
countries may limit the ability of these Portfolios to invest in securities of
certain issuers located or doing business in these countries.
HEDGING RISK. When a Portfolio hedges an asset it holds, any gain or loss
generated by the hedge should be substantially offset by losses or gains on the
hedged asset. Hedging is a useful way to reduce or eliminate risk of loss, but
it also reduces or eliminates the potential for investment gains.
INFORMATION RISK. The risk that key information about a security or market is
inaccurate or unavailable.
INTEREST RATE RISK. The risk that the market value of a debt or other
income-bearing security will decline because of changes in prevailing interest
rates. Generally, a rise in interest rates typically causes the market values of
such securities to decline, particularly fixed-rate securities.
RISKS OF INVESTING IN LOWER QUALITY DEBT INSTRUMENTS. Lower quality debt
instruments usually pay a higher interest rate than investment-grade bonds, but
with the higher interest rate comes higher risks. Lower quality debt instruments
have the following characteristics:
- Speculative with only an adequate capacity to pay principal and
interest;
- Tend to react more to changes in interest rates than do higher-rated
securities;
- Have a higher risk of default, tend to be less liquid, and may be more
difficult to value;
- Are issued by entities whose ability to make principal and interest
payments is more likely to be affected by changes in economic conditions
or other circumstances;
- Have poor prospects for reaching investment-grade standing and may be in
default;
19
<PAGE> 21
- May be more severely affected than some other financial instruments by
economic recession or substantial interest rate increases, by changing
public perceptions of the market, or by legislation that limits their
use in connection with corporate reorganizations or limits their tax or
other advantages; and
- Are more likely to react to developments affecting market risk and
financial risk than are higher quality debt instruments, which react
primarily to movements in the general level of interest rates.
LEVERAGE RISK. The risks associated with securities or investment practices
that enhance return (or loss) without increasing the amount of investment, such
as buying securities on margin or using certain derivative contracts or
derivative securities. A Portfolio's gain or loss on a leveraged position may be
greater than the actual market gain or loss in the underlying security or
instrument. A Portfolio may also incur additional costs in taking a leveraged
position (such as interest on borrowings) that may not be incurred in taking a
non-leveraged position.
LIQUIDITY RISK. The risk that certain securities or other investments may be
difficult or impossible to sell at the time the Portfolio would like to sell
them or at the price the Portfolio values them.
MANAGEMENT RISK. The risk that a strategy used by a Portfolio's Adviser does
not produce the intended result. For example, the Adviser's judgment about the
value or potential appreciation of a particular stock may prove to be incorrect.
MARKET RISK. The risk that the market value of a security may increase or
decrease, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to factors unrelated to the
issuer. This risk is common to all stocks and bonds and the mutual funds that
invest in them.
NATURAL EVENT RISK. The risk of losses attributable to natural disasters, crop
failures and similar events.
OPPORTUNITY RISK. The risk of missing out on an investment opportunity because
the assets necessary to take advantage of it are tied up in less advantageous
investments.
POLITICAL RISK. The risk of losses directly attributable to government actions
or political events of any sort. Foreign countries may experience political or
social instability or diplomatic developments that could affect investments in
those countries.
PREPAYMENT RISK. The risk that an unexpected fall in prevailing interest rates
will shorten the life of an outstanding mortgage-backed security by increasing
the expected number of mortgage prepayments, thereby reducing the security's
return.
SMALL COMPANY RISK. The risk of investing in securities of smaller companies.
Such smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial
resources and their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited
volume than the securities of larger or more established companies. These
companies are typically subject to a greater degree of changes in earnings and
business prospects than are larger, more established issuers. As a result, the
prices of securities of smaller companies may fluctuate to a greater degree than
the prices of securities of other issuers. Although investing in securities of
smaller companies offers potential for above-average returns, the risk exists
that the companies will not succeed and the prices of the companies' shares
could significantly decline in value.
SPECULATION RISK. Speculation involves assuming a higher than average risk of
loss in anticipation of gain. If a Portfolio uses a derivative contract or
derivative security to speculate rather than hedge, it is directly exposed to
the risks of that derivative contract or security. Gains or losses from
speculative positions in a derivative contract or security may be substantially
greater than the derivative contract or security's original cost.
VALUATION RISK. The risk that the market value of an investment falls
substantially below the Portfolio's valuation of the investment.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND'S SHARES
GENERAL
The Fund issues a separate class of shares of common stock for each Portfolio.
The Fund may establish additional portfolios in the future and additional
classes of shares for such new portfolios.
Based on current federal securities law requirements, the Fund expects that its
insurance company shareholders will offer owners of their variable life
insurance contracts and variable annuity contracts the opportunity to instruct
such shareholders as to how to vote shares allocable to their contracts
regarding certain matters, such as the approval of investment advisory
agreements. Fund shares not attributable to variable life insurance or annuity
contracts, or for which no timely instructions are received by insurance company
shareholders, are voted by each insurance company in the same proportion as the
voting instructions that are received by that company for all contracts of the
company participating in each Portfolio. The voting instructions received from
contract holders may be disregarded in certain circumstances that are described
in the prospectuses for the variable contracts.
DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE
The net asset value per share of each Portfolio (except the Money Market
Portfolio) is normally determined once daily as of the close of regular trading
on the New York Stock Exchange, currently 4:00 p.m. New York time, on each day
when the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. The net asset value of
the Money Market Portfolio is normally determined once daily on each day that
both the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank are open for
business. The New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank each is
scheduled to be open Monday through Friday throughout the year, except for
certain respective federal and other holidays. The net asset value of each
Portfolio is computed by dividing the sum of the value of the Portfolio's
securities, cash, and other assets, minus all liabilities, by the total number
of outstanding shares of the Portfolio.
The value of each Portfolio's securities and assets, except those of the Money
Market Portfolio and certain short-term debt securities held by any of the other
Portfolios, is determined on the basis of their market values. All of the
securities and assets of the Money Market Portfolio and short-term debt
securities having remaining maturities of sixty days or less held by any of the
other Portfolios are valued by the amortized cost method, which approximates
market value. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available
are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by, or under
authority delegated by, the Fund's board of directors. A Portfolio may invest in
securities primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on days when the
Portfolio does not price its shares. Therefore, the net asset value of the
Portfolio's shares may change on days when shareholders may not be able to
redeem Portfolio shares. See "Determination of Net Asset Value" in the SAI.
OFFER, PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Shares of the Fund are not available directly to the public. Currently, shares
of the Fund are sold, without sales charge, at each Portfolio's net asset value
per share, only to variable life insurance and variable annuity separate
accounts of Provident Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Provident Mutual") and
Providentmutual Life and Annuity Company of America ("PLACA"); and to variable
life insurance separate accounts of National Life Insurance Company ("NLIC"). In
the future, the Fund may offer shares of one or more of the Portfolios
(including new portfolios that might be added to the Fund) to other separate
accounts of Provident Mutual, PLACA or NLIC to support variable life insurance
policies or variable annuity contracts, or shares may also be sold to other
insurance company separate accounts to fund variable life insurance policies and
variable annuity contracts. The price per share is based on the next daily
calculation of net asset value after an order is placed.
28
<PAGE> 30
Shares of the Portfolios are sold in a continuous offering and are authorized to
be offered to insurance company separate accounts to support variable life
insurance contracts and variable annuity contracts. Net premiums or net purchase
payments under the respective contracts or contract are placed in one or more
subaccounts of a separate account and the assets of each such separate account
are invested in the shares of the Portfolio corresponding to that subaccount. A
separate account purchases and redeems shares of the Portfolios for its
subaccounts at net asset value without sales or redemption charges.
On each day that a Portfolio's net asset value is calculated, a separate account
transmits to the Fund any orders to purchase or redeem shares of the
Portfolio(s) based on the premiums, purchase payments, redemption (surrender)
requests, and transfer requests from contract owners, annuitants, and
beneficiaries that have been processed on that day. A separate account purchases
and redeems shares of each Portfolio at the Portfolio's net asset value per
share calculated as of the same day, although such purchases and redemptions may
be executed the next morning. Money received by the Fund from a separate account
for the purchase of shares of the International Portfolio may not be invested by
that Portfolio until the day following the execution of such purchases.
Please refer to the separate prospectus for each separate account and its
related contract for a more detailed description of the procedures whereby a
contract owner, annuitant, or beneficiary may allocate his or her interest in a
separate account to a subaccount using the shares of one of the Portfolios as an
underlying investment medium.
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS, AND TAXES
The Fund intends that each of the Portfolios will continue to qualify as a
regulated investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), and will meet certain diversification requirements
applicable to mutual funds underlying variable insurance products. For a
discussion regarding what it means to qualify as a RIC and a general discussion
concerning some of the possible tax consequences associated with the operation
of the Fund, please refer to the section entitled "Taxes" in the SAI.
Shares of the Portfolios are offered only to insurance company separate
accounts. Under the Code, no tax is imposed on an insurance company with respect
to income of a qualifying separate account properly allocable to the value of
eligible variable life insurance or variable annuity contracts. Accordingly, no
gain or loss should be recognized on account of ordinary income or capital gains
distributions to the Fund's insurance company shareholders or upon the sale or
redemption of shares of the Portfolios. Please refer to the appropriate tax
disclosure in the respective prospectuses for a separate account and its related
contract for more information on the taxation of life insurance companies,
separate accounts, as well as the tax treatment of variable life insurance and
variable annuity contracts and the holders thereof.
For more information about the tax status of the Fund, see "Taxes" in the SAI.

OTHER INFORMATION
PREPARING FOR YEAR 2000
In providing investment advisory services to the Portfolios, each Adviser
utilizes systems that may be affected by Year 2000 transition issues. The
Advisers and the Portfolios also rely on service providers, including banks,
custodians, administrators, transfer agents and distributors, that also may be
affected. Each of the Advisers has developed, and is in the process of
implementing, a Year 2000 transition plan, and is confirming that its service
providers also are so engaged. The resources that are being devoted to this
effort are substantial. It is difficult to predict with precision whether the
amount of resources ultimately devoted, or the outcome of these efforts, will
have any negative impact on the Advisers or the Portfolios. As of the date of
this prospectus, it is not anticipated that a shareholder will experience
negative effects on the shareholder's investment, or on the services provided in
connection therewith, as a result of Year 2000 transition implementation.
However, there can be no assurance that the Advisers will be successful, or that
interaction with other service providers will not impair the Fund's or an
Adviser's services at that time.
EURO CONVERSION
On January 1, 1999, 11 participating countries in the European Economic Monetary
Union (Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,
the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain) adopted the Euro as their official
currency. As of January 1, 1999, governments in participating countries issued
new debt and redenominated existing debt in Euros, although corporations may
choose whether to issue stocks or bonds in Euros or the national currency. The
new European Central Bank (the "ECB") assumed responsibility for a uniform
monetary policy in participating countries. Currency conversion occurs through a
"triangulation" process whereby an amount denominated in one national currency
is converted into Euros, which are then converted into the second national
currency. The Euro conversion presents investors with unique risks and
uncertainties, including: (1) the readiness of Euro payment, clearing, and other
operational systems; (2) the legal treatment of debt instruments and financial
contracts denominated in or referring to existing national currencies rather
than the Euro; (3) exchange-rate fluctuations between the Euro and non-Euro
currencies during the transition period of January 1, 1999 through December 31,
2001 and beyond; (4) potential U.S. tax issues with respect to Portfolio
securities; and (5) the ECB's abilities to manage monetary policies among the
participating countries. Three other EU member countries (Denmark, Greece, and
the United Kingdom) may convert to the Euro at a later date. These and other
factors could adversely affect the value of or income from Portfolio securities.

APPENDIX A -- TERMS USED IN THIS PROSPECTUS
ADVISER: Any of the investment advisers to the Portfolios.
- Providentmutual Investment Management Company (PIMC) serves as investment
adviser to the International Portfolio
- The Boston Company Asset Management, Inc. (TBC) serves as investment
subadviser to the International Portfolio
- Sentinel Advisors Company (SAC) serves as investment adviser to the Money
Market, Growth, Bond, Managed, Aggressive Growth and Sentinel Growth
Portfolios
EQUITY SECURITIES: Equity securities include common stock, preferred stock,
securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, including convertible
debt securities, convertible preferred stock and warrants or rights to acquire
common stock.
FOREIGN ISSUERS: (1) Companies organized outside the United States, (2)
companies whose securities are principally traded outside of the United States
and (3) foreign governments and agencies or instrumentalities of foreign
governments.
INVESTMENT-GRADE SECURITIES: Securities rated, at the time of purchase,
"investment grade" by a nationally-recognized statistical rating organization
(NRSRO) (e.g. Baa or higher by Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") or BBB or
higher by Standard & Poor's ("S&P")) or unrated securities that the Adviser
determines to be of comparable quality. (See Appendix A to the statement of
additional information for an explanation of ratings.)
NON-DOLLAR SECURITIES: Securities denominated or quoted in a foreign currency.
PRIMARILY: Where the description of a Portfolio indicates that it invests
primarily in certain types of securities, this means that, under normal
circumstances, it invests at least 65% of its total assets in such securities.
SAI: The Fund's statement of additional information, or SAI, contains
additional information about the Fund and the Portfolios and has been filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors may obtain a free copy of the
SAI by contacting the Fund at the toll-free number or address shown on the back
cover page of this prospectus.
VALUE ORIENTED INVESTING: An investment strategy that involves seeking
securities that:
- Have low financial ratios (particularly stock price-to-book value, but
also stock price-to-earnings and stock price-to-cash flow);
- Can be acquired for less than what a subadviser believes is the issuer's
intrinsic value; or
- Appear attractive on a dividend discount model.
Value oriented investing entails a strong "sell discipline" in that it generally
requires the sale of securities that have reached their intrinsic value or a
target financial ratio. Value oriented investments may include securities of
companies in cyclical industries during periods when such securities appear to a
subadviser to have strong potential for capital appreciation or securities of
"special situation" companies. A special situation company is one that a
subadviser believes has potential for significant future earnings growth but has
not performed well in the recent past. These situations include companies with
management changes, corporate or asset restructuring or significantly
undervalued assets. For most subadvisers, identifying special situation
companies and establishing an issuer's intrinsic value involves fundamental
research about such companies and issuers.

APPENDIX B -- FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand each
Portfolio's (except the All Pro Portfolios) financial performance for the past 5
years and for each All Pro Portfolio's financial performance for its period of
operations (which commenced in 1998). Certain information reflects financial
results for a single Portfolio share. The total returns in the table represent
the rate that an investor would have earned on an investment in the Fund
(assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This information has
been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent accountants, whose
report, along with the Fund's financial statements, are included in the SAI,
which is available upon request.

OVERVIEW
This prospectus describes ten Portfolios offered by the Fund. Each is a separate
investment portfolio with its own investment objective or objectives, policies,
restrictions and risks. An investor should consider each Portfolio separately to
determine if it is an appropriate investment. There is no assurance that a
Portfolio will achieve its investment objective or objectives, and investors
should not consider any one Portfolio alone to be a complete investment program.
As with all mutual funds, there is a risk that an investor could lose money by
investing in a Portfolio.
The different types of securities, investments, and investment techniques used
by each Portfolio all have attendant risks of varying degrees. For example, with
respect to equity securities, there can be no assurance of capital appreciation
and an investment in any stock is subject to the risk that the stock market as a
whole may decline, thereby depressing the stock's price (market risk), or the
risk that the price of a particular issuer's stock may decline due to its
financial results (financial risk). With respect to debt securities, there
exists the risk that the issuer of a security may not be able to meet its
obligations on interest or principal payments at the time required by the
instrument (credit risk, a type of financial risk). In addition, the value of
debt and other income bearing securities generally rises and falls inversely
with prevailing current interest rates (interest rate risk, a type of market
risk). As described below, an investment in certain of the Portfolios entails
special additional risks as a result of their ability to invest a substantial
portion of their assets in foreign investments, or securities of issuers in new
or emerging industries. See "Risks of Investing in the Portfolios," below.
The following chart provides a brief outline of the relative principal
characteristics of each Portfolio:

The investment objective or objectives of each Portfolio are fundamental and may
not be changed unless authorized by the vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting shares of the Portfolio. The investment policies of each Portfolio are
not fundamental and may be changed by the Fund's board of directors without
shareholder approval, unless otherwise stated in this Prospectus or the
statement of additional information.
Notwithstanding their investment objective(s), each Portfolio may, in unusual
market conditions, for temporary defensive purposes, invest all or part of their
assets in cash and/or money market instruments of the type in which the Money
Market Portfolio may invest. To the extent that a Portfolio adopts a temporary
defensive position, it may not achieve its investment objective.
SHARES OF THE FUND AND THE PORTFOLIOS ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR OBLIGATIONS OF, OR
GUARANTEED OR ENDORSED BY, ANY FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, AND ARE NOT INSURED BY THE
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY. AN
INVESTMENT IN THE FUND AND THE PORTFOLIOS IS SUBJECT TO INVESTMENT RISKS,
INCLUDING POSSIBLE LOSS OF MONEY INVESTED.
Shares of the Portfolios are only available through the purchase of certain
variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts (the "variable
contracts") issued by various life insurance companies, some of which may be
affiliated persons of the Portfolios. This prospectus should be read in
conjunction with the separate prospectus for each separate account and its
related policy and retained for future reference.
See "Appendix A -- Terms Used in This Prospectus" for more information about
some of the terms we use in this prospectus.

ABOUT THE PORTFOLIOS
[ ] THE MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
Maximum current income consistent with capital preservation and liquidity.
PRIMARY INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Money Market Portfolio invests exclusively in dollar-denominated money
market instruments that present minimal credit risks. These include U.S.
government securities, bank obligations, repurchase agreements, commercial
paper, and other corporate debt obligations. See Appendix A to the SAI for a
complete discussion of the money market instruments in which the Portfolio may
invest.
All of the Money Market Portfolio's money market instruments mature in 13 months
or less. The average maturity of such securities, based on their weighted dollar
value, does not exceed 90 days. The Portfolio intends to maintain a stable value
of $1.00 per share. All of the Portfolio's assets are rated in the two highest
short-term categories (or their unrated equivalents) by an NRSRO and 95% of its
assets are rated in the highest category (or its unrated equivalent) by an
NRSRO. A more detailed description of the rating categories is contained in the
SAI.
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIO
While the Money Market Portfolio only invests in high quality money market
instruments, these investments are not entirely without risk. High quality money
market instruments generally do not yield as high a level of income as
longer-term or lower-grade securities. In addition, the yield of the Portfolio
will vary with changes in interest rates. There is a remote possibility that the
Portfolio's share value could fall below $1.00, which could reduce the value of
an investment in the Portfolio.
To the extent that it invests in certain securities, the Money Market Portfolio
may be affected by additional risks relating to REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS (credit
risk) and WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES (market, opportunity, and leverage risks).
However, such risks are lessened by the high quality of the securities in which
the Portfolio invests.
These risks are described in more detail later in this Prospectus. SHARES OF THE
PORTFOLIO ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR OBLIGATIONS OF, OR GUARANTEED OR ENDORSED BY, ANY
FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, AND ARE NOT INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE
CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY. Investors should carefully read
"Risks of Investing in the Portfolios" and "Investment Techniques" below before
investing in this Portfolio.

[ ] THE GROWTH PORTFOLIO
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
Intermediate and long-term growth of capital. A reasonable level of income is an
important secondary objective.
PRIMARY INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Growth Portfolio invests primarily in common stocks of companies that the
Adviser believes offer above-average intermediate and long-term growth
potential. The Portfolio purchases securities only of companies that have:
- A minimum level of sales/revenue of $50 million per year in at least one
recent year
- Profitable operations (i.e., have some net income before non-recurring
gains or losses)
Generally, the Portfolio holds common stocks listed on national securities
exchanges but it can hold up to 20% of its total assets in stocks only traded
over-the-counter. The Portfolio also may invest in other equity securities and
nonconvertible debt obligations. Often, the Adviser follows a VALUE ORIENTED
investment strategy, which is discussed below on page 15.
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIO
The Growth Portfolio is subject to MARKET RISK and FINANCIAL RISK. For equity
securities, market risk is the risk that the stock market as a whole may
decline, depressing the price of securities in which the Portfolio invests. For
equity securities, financial risk is the risk that the price of a particular
issuer's stock may decline because of its financial results.
In addition to these general risks, the Growth Portfolio may be subject to
greater volatility over short periods of time because of its intermediate and
long-term focus. Certain of its investments may rise or fall based on investor
perception and attitude rather than economic valuations.
These risks, and the risks associated with other higher-risk securities and
practices that the Portfolio may utilize, are described in more detail later in
this Prospectus. Investors should carefully read "Risks of Investing in the
Portfolios" and "Investment Techniques" below before investing in this
Portfolio.

[ ] THE BOND PORTFOLIO
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
A high level of current income consistent with prudent investment risk.
PRIMARY INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Bond Portfolio invests in a diversified portfolio of marketable debt
securities of U.S. and foreign issuers. At least 75% of the value of the Bond
Portfolio's total investment in corporate debt securities (other than commercial
paper) consists of investment-grade securities, and the remaining 25% may be
invested in such securities rated one category below investment grade.
Securities of foreign issuers are purchased only if they are investment grade,
denominated in U.S. dollars, and pay any income in U.S. dollars.
The Bond Portfolio may purchase securities that carry certain equity features
such as conversion or exchange rights or warrants for the acquisition of stock
(of the same or of a different issuer) or participations based on revenues,
sales or profits.
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIO
The Bond Portfolio is subject to MARKET RISK, CREDIT RISK and INTEREST RATE
RISK. To the extent that it invests in certain securities, the Bond Portfolio
may assume additional risks relating to LOWER QUALITY DEBT INSTRUMENTS,
SHORT-TERM TRADING and SECURITIES OF FOREIGN ISSUERS. Lower quality debt
instruments are subject to above-average interest rate risk and credit risk,
tend to have a higher default rate, and are speculative with only an adequate
capacity to repay principal and interest. Short-term trading may result in
higher turnover and transaction expenses for the Portfolio. Securities of
foreign issuers entail risks not associated with domestic securities. For
example, foreign issuers often are subject to securities laws, and accounting
and reporting practices, less stringent than those in the U.S., and they may be
adversely impacted by political or economic instability or changes in currency
exchange rates.
These risks, and the risks associated other higher-risk securities and practices
that the Portfolio may utilize, are described in more detail later in this
Prospectus. Investors should carefully read "Risks of Investing in the
Portfolios" and "Investment Techniques" below before investing in this
Portfolio.

[ ] THE MANAGED PORTFOLIO
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
As high a level of long-term total rate of return as is consistent with prudent
investment risk.
PRIMARY INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Managed Portfolio invests in securities that are permissible investments of
the Money Market, Growth, Bond, Aggressive Growth and International Portfolios.
The Adviser may invest the Managed Portfolio's assets solely in common stocks,
solely in debt securities, solely in money market instruments, or in a
combination of these types of investments. At least 75% of the value of the
Managed Portfolio's total investment in corporate debt securities (other than
commercial paper) consists of investment-grade securities, and the remaining 25%
may be invested in such securities rated one category below investment grade.
The Managed Portfolio also may invest in securities of issuers located in
countries with emerging economies and/or securities markets.
The Managed Portfolio's investment strategies may result in the Portfolio having
a higher than average portfolio turnover rate. Higher portfolio turnover results
in correspondingly increased brokerage expenses and other acquisition costs to
the Portfolio.
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIO
The Managed Portfolio is subject to MARKET RISK, FINANCIAL RISK, CREDIT RISK and
INTEREST RATE RISK. To the extent that it invests in certain securities, the
Portfolio may assume additional risks relating to LOWER QUALITY DEBT
INSTRUMENTS, SHORT-TERM TRADING, and SECURITIES OF FOREIGN ISSUERS AND
NON-DOLLAR SECURITIES. Lower quality debt instruments are subject to
above-average interest rate risk and credit risk, tend to have a higher default
rate, and are speculative with only an adequate capacity to repay principal and
interest. Short-term trading may result in higher turnover and transaction
expenses for the Portfolio. Securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar
securities entail risks not associated with domestic securities or
dollar-denominated securities. For example, foreign issuers often are subject to
securities laws, and accounting and reporting practices, less stringent than
those in the U.S., and they may be adversely impacted by political or economic
instability or changes in currency exchange rates.
In order to meet the Portfolio's investment objective, the adviser must
determine the proper mix of equity, debt and money market securities. It may not
properly ascertain the appropriate mix of securities for any particular economic
cycle. Also, the timing of movements from one type of security to another could
have a negative effect on the Portfolio's overall objective.
These risks, and the risks associated other higher-risk securities and practices
that the Portfolio may utilize, are described in more detail later in this
Prospectus. Investors should carefully read "Risks of Investing in the
Portfolios" and "Investment Techniques" below before investing in this
Portfolio.

<PAGE> 53
[ ] THE AGGRESSIVE GROWTH PORTFOLIO
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
A high level of long-term capital appreciation.
PRIMARY INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Aggressive Growth Portfolio invests primarily in:
- securities of companies in new or emerging industries
- securities of small capitalization companies and/or unseasoned companies
Substantially all of the Portfolio's assets consist of equity securities of
companies that the Adviser believes have better than average appreciation
potential. The Adviser selects such securities on the basis of their
appreciation potential without restriction as to their type.
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIO
The Aggressive Growth Portfolio invests in securities which generally entail
above-average MARKET RISK and FINANCIAL RISK. The Portfolio also is subject to
SMALL COMPANY RISK. Smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or
financial resources and their securities may trade less frequently and in more
limited volume than the securities of larger or more established companies. The
prices of securities of smaller companies may fluctuate to a greater degree than
the prices of securities of other issuers. Loss of money is a significant risk
of investing in this Portfolio.
To the extent that it invests in certain securities, the Portfolio assume by
additional risks relating to ADRs, GDRs and EDRs (i.e., the risks of investing
in the securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities). Securities of
foreign issuers and non-dollar securities entail risks not associated with
domestic securities or dollar-denominated securities. For example, foreign
issuers often are subject to securities laws, and accounting and reporting
practices, less stringent than those in the U.S., and they may be adversely
impacted by political or economic instability or changes in currency exchange
rates.
These risks, and the risks associated other higher-risk securities and practices
that the Portfolio may utilize, are described in more detail later in this
Prospectus. Investors should carefully read "Risks of Investing in the

Portfolio.

[ ] THE INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
Long-term growth of capital primarily through investments in a diversified
portfolio of marketable equity securities of established foreign issuer
companies.
PRIMARY INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The International Portfolio invests primarily in equity securities of
established foreign issuer companies and of companies organized in the United
States but having their principal activities and interests outside the United
States that the Adviser believes have potential for long-term capital growth.
Many such securities are non-dollar securities. The Portfolio also may invest in
other foreign issuer securities such as those of foreign governments or agencies
or instrumentalities of foreign governments.
Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio invests at least 75% of its total
assets in the securities of foreign issuers located (or, in the case of the
securities, traded) in at least five different countries other than the United
States. Nonetheless, under certain economic and business conditions the
Portfolio may invest up to 35% of its total assets in the securities of issuers
located (or, in the case of the securities, traded) in any one of the following
countries:
- Australia
- Canada
- France
- Japan
- The United Kingdom
- Germany
The International Portfolio also may invest in securities of foreign issuers in
the form of sponsored and unsponsored ADRs, EDRs and GDRs (see "Investment
Techniques"). The International Portfolio also may, under normal market
conditions, invest up to 35% of its total assets in investment-grade debt
securities of foreign issuers. See "Risks of Investing in the Portfolios,"
below. The Portfolio engages in a VALUE ORIENTED investing strategy, which is
discussed below on page 15.
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIO
The International Portfolio is subject to MARKET RISK and FINANCIAL RISK. The
International Portfolio is subject to a significant degree of FOREIGN ISSUER AND
NON-DOLLAR SECURITIES RISK. Securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar
securities entail risks not associated with domestic securities or
dollar-denominated securities. For example, foreign issuers often are subject to
securities laws, and accounting and reporting practices, less stringent than
those in the U.S., and they may be adversely impacted by political or economic
instability or changes in currency exchange rates.
The Portfolio's investments in securities of issuers located in countries with
emerging economies or securities markets entail EMERGING MARKETS RISK. The risks
of investing in securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities are even
greater in emerging markets than in Japan or most Western European countries.
Emerging market countries are undergoing rapid development, and may lack the
social, political and economic stability characteristic of more developed
countries.
These risks, and the risks associated other higher-risk securities and practices
that the Portfolio may utilize, are described in more detail later in this
Prospectus. Investors should carefully read "Risks of Investing in the
Portfolios" and "Investment Techniques" below before investing in this
Portfolio.

The EAFE Index is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of more than 900
companies from Europe, Australia, Asia and the Far East. The EAFE Index reflects
the prices of these common stocks translated into U.S. dollars with dividends
reinvested net of any foreign taxes.
The performance information presented does not include the fees and charges
associated with the variable contracts, and returns would have been lower if
those fees and charges were included.

INTRODUCTION TO THE ALL PRO PORTFOLIOS
All four All Pro Portfolios seek long-term capital appreciation. They differ
from the other Portfolios in that PIMC has selected a unique team of investment
subadvisers for each All Pro Portfolio, and each such subadviser manages a
segment of the relevant All Pro Portfolio's assets.
The All Pro Portfolios differ from each other in that two Portfolios -- the All
Pro Large Cap Growth Portfolio and the All Pro Small Cap Growth
Portfolio -- pursue their investment objective through GROWTH ORIENTED
investing, and two Portfolios -- the All Pro Large Cap Value Portfolio and the
All Pro Small Cap Value Portfolio -- pursue their objective through VALUE
ORIENTED investing. Within each pair, one Portfolio principally invests in
securities with relatively large market capitalizations while the other
principally invests in securities with relatively small market capitalizations.
VALUE ORIENTED INVESTING: An investment strategy that involves seeking
securities that:
- Exhibit low financial ratios (particularly stock price-to-book value, but
also stock price-to-earnings and stock price-to-cash flow);
- Can be acquired for less than what a subadviser believes is the issuer's
intrinsic value; or
- Appear attractive on a dividend discount model.
Value oriented investing entails a strong "sell discipline" in that it generally
requires the sale of securities that have reached their intrinsic value or a
target financial ratio. Value oriented investments may include securities of
companies in cyclical industries during periods when such securities appear to a
subadviser to have strong potential for capital appreciation or securities of
"special situation" companies. A special situation company is one that a
subadviser believes has potential for significant future earnings growth but has
not performed well in the recent past. These situations include companies with
management changes, corporate or asset restructuring or significantly
undervalued assets. For most subadvisers, identifying special situation
companies and establishing an issuer's intrinsic value involves fundamental
research about such companies and issuers.
GROWTH ORIENTED INVESTING: An investment approach that involves seeking
securities of issuers with above average recent earnings growth rates and a
reasonable likelihood of maintaining such rates in the foreseeable future.
Generally such securities are those of well-established issuers with a strong
competitive position within their industry or a competitive position within a
very strong industry. One strategy for acquiring earnings growth potential is to
acquire securities of companies that are in the early stages of establishing a
competitive position within their industry. For some subadvisers, growth
oriented investing also may involve fundamental research about particular
companies in order to identify and take advantage of potential short-term
earnings increases that are not reflected in the current price of their
securities.

Each All Pro Portfolio is designed to resemble a benchmark stock index created
by Wilshire Associates Incorporated. The indices are: Wilshire Large Growth
Benchmark, Wilshire Small Growth Benchmark, Wilshire Large Value Benchmark and
Wilshire Small Value Benchmark. The securities in each index, taken as a group,
reflect a particular equity investment style; with the styles being defined
according to both their growth orientation or value orientation and the range of
market capitalization represented in the group.
PIMC selects two or more subadvisers for each All Pro Portfolio that PIMC
believes can invest segments of the Portfolio in a manner such that the
Portfolio overall will have characteristics and performance dynamics similar to
its Wilshire Benchmark index. To this end, PIMC may select subadvisers that
specialize in one or more, but not all, of the types of securities comprising
the Benchmark index. By using several such subadvisers, PIMC can acquire the
expertise that it believes will result in optimal performance for the Portfolio.
PIMC has retained Wilshire Associates Incorporated to assist it in identifying
potential subadvisers and performing the quantitative analysis necessary to
assess such subadvisers' styles and performance.

[ ] ALL PRO LARGE CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
Long-term capital appreciation.
PRIMARY INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Portfolio invests primarily in equity securities of companies among the 750
largest by market capitalization at the time of purchase, which the Advisers
believe show potential for growth in future earnings.
Currently, different segments of the Portfolio's assets are managed as follows:
- Approximately 50% of its assets are managed by an investment subadviser
that uses economic analysis, quantitative modeling, and securities
analysis to identify securities of companies with potential for future
earnings growth, and uses in-depth fundamental research to narrow this
list and determine which securities to purchase for the Portfolio.
- Approximately 50% of its assets are managed by an investment subadviser
that uses financial quality, sustainable growth, and downside volatility
screens to eliminate issuers from consideration and purchases securities
from the remaining issuers (which usually number between 200-300).
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIO
The All Pro Large Cap Growth Portfolio is subject to MARKET RISK and FINANCIAL
RISK. These risks, and the risks associated other higher-risk securities and
practices that the Portfolio may utilize, are described in more detail later in
this Prospectus. Investors should carefully read "Risks of Investing in the
Portfolios" and "Investment Techniques" below before investing in this
Portfolio.
THE PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE
The All Pro Large Cap Growth Portfolio commenced operations in May 1998.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
Long-term capital appreciation.
PRIMARY INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Portfolio invests primarily in equity securities of companies included in
the Wilshire 4500 Equity Index at the time of purchase, which the Advisers
believe show potential for growth in future earnings.
Currently, different segments of the Portfolio's assets are managed as follows:
- Approximately 40% of the Portfolio's assets are managed by an investment
subadviser that seeks securities of companies with market capitalizations
below $500 million that have established above-average growth, superior
business positions and strong management.
- Approximately 60% of the Portfolio's assets are managed by an investment
subadviser that seeks securities of companies with market capitalizations
below $1 billion by attempting to identify changes in companies or
industries that often signal earnings growth, and companies most likely
to benefit from those changes.
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIO
The All Pro Small Cap Growth Portfolio is subject to MARKET RISK and FINANCIAL
RISK. Investments held by this Portfolio entail a significant degree of SMALL
COMPANY RISK. Smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or
financial resources and their securities may trade less frequently and in more
limited volume than the securities of larger or more established companies. The
prices of securities of smaller companies may fluctuate to a greater degree than
the prices of securities of other issuers.
These risks, and the risks associated other higher-risk securities and practices
that the Portfolio may utilize, are described in more detail later in this

<PAGE> 63
RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIOS
Each Portfolio is subject to the risk that it may not achieve its investment
objective, and an investor may lose money (including the principal invested) by
investing in it. No one Portfolio alone should be considered a complete
investment program, and any Portfolio's performance could fall below that of
other possible investments.
Because each Portfolio invests in a different mix of securities and employs a
unique strategy for achieving its goals, the risks associated with each
Portfolio will vary. While the actual performance of any mutual fund cannot be
predicted, investors should consider the possible risks associated with a
Portfolio's investments. Such risks include:
CORRELATION RISK. The risk that changes in the value of a hedging instrument or
hedging technique will not match those of the asset being hedged (hedging is the
use of one investment to offset the possible adverse effects of another
investment).
CREDIT RISK. The risk that the issuer of a security, or the counterparty to a
contract, will default or otherwise not honor a financial obligation.
CURRENCY RISK. The risk that fluctuations in the exchange rates between the
U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may adversely affect the value of an
investment. Currency fluctuations may negatively impact a Portfolio's portfolio
even if the foreign stock has not declined in value in its own currency. For
example:
- A decline in the dollar value of other currencies would reduce the value
of certain portfolio investments denominated in such currencies
- A Portfolio may have to sell portfolio securities to pay dividends to
shareholders if the exchange rate for the currency in which a Portfolio
receives interest payments declines against the U.S. dollar before such
interest is paid to shareholders.
EXTENSION RISK. The risk that an unexpected rise in prevailing interest rates
will extend the life of an outstanding mortgage-backed security by reducing the
expected number of mortgage prepayments, typically reducing the security's
value.
FINANCIAL RISK. For debt securities, credit risk. For equity securities, the
risk that the issuer's earning prospects and overall financial position will
deteriorate, causing a decline in the security's value.
RISKS OF INVESTING IN SECURITIES OF FOREIGN ISSUERS AND NON-DOLLAR
SECURITIES. Investments in the securities of foreign issuers or investments in
non-dollar securities involve significant risks that are not typically
associated with investing in U.S. dollar-denominated securities or securities of
domestic issuers. Such investments may be affected by changes in currency
exchange rates, changes in foreign or U.S. laws or restrictions applicable to
such investments and in currency exchange control regulations. Some foreign
stock markets (and other securities markets) may have substantially less volume
than, for example, the New York Stock Exchange (or other domestic markets) and
securities of some foreign issuers may be less liquid than securities of
comparable domestic issuers. Commissions and dealer mark-ups on transactions in
securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities may be higher than for
similar transactions in the United States. In addition, clearance and settlement
procedures may be different in foreign countries and, in certain markets, on
certain occasions, such procedures have been unable to keep pace with the volume
of securities transactions, thus making it difficult to conduct such
transactions. The inability of a Portfolio to make intended investments due to
settlement problems could cause it to miss attractive investment opportunities.
Inability to dispose of portfolio securities or other investments due to
settlement problems could result either in losses to a Portfolio due to
subsequent declines in value of the portfolio investment or, if the Portfolio
has entered into a contract to sell the investment, could result in possible
liability to the purchaser.
22
<PAGE> 64
Foreign issuers are not generally subject to uniform accounting, auditing and
financial reporting standards comparable to those applicable to domestic
companies, and there may be less publicly available information about a foreign
issuer than about a domestic one. In addition, there is generally less
government regulation of stock exchanges, brokers, and listed and unlisted
issuers in foreign countries than in the United States. Furthermore, with
respect to certain foreign countries, there is a possibility of expropriation or
confiscatory taxation, imposition of withholding taxes on dividend or interest
payments, limitations on the removal of cash or other assets of the Portfolio,
or political or social instability or diplomatic developments which could affect
investments in those countries. Individual foreign economies also may differ
favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of
gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource
self-sufficiency and balance of payments position.
The INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO and the MANAGED PORTFOLIO may invest in securities
of issuers located in countries with emerging economies and/or securities
markets. These countries are located in the Asia-Pacific region, Eastern Europe,
Central and South America and Africa. Political and economic structures and
institutions in many of these countries are undergoing significant evolution and
rapid development, 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 or expropriated assets of private companies. In addition,
unanticipated political or social developments may affect the values of
investments in these countries and the ability of a Portfolio to make additional
investments in them. The small size, inexperience and limited trading volume of
the securities markets in certain of these countries may also make investments
in such countries more volatile and less liquid than investments in securities
traded in markets in Japan and Western European countries. As a result, these
Portfolios may be required to establish special custody or other arrangements
before making certain investments in these countries. There may be little
financial or accounting information available with respect to issuers located in
certain of these countries, and it may be difficult as a result to assess the
value or prospects of an investment in such issuers. The laws of some foreign
countries may limit the ability of these Portfolios to invest in securities of
certain issuers located or doing business in these countries.
HEDGING RISK. When a Portfolio hedges an asset it holds, any gain or loss
generated by the hedge should be substantially offset by losses or gains on the
hedged asset. Hedging is a useful way to reduce or eliminate risk of loss, but
it also reduces or eliminates the potential for investment gains.
INFORMATION RISK. The risk that key information about a security or market is
inaccurate or unavailable.
INTEREST RATE RISK. The risk that the market value of a debt or other
income-bearing security will decline because of changes in prevailing interest
rates. Generally, a rise in interest rates typically causes the market values of
such securities to decline, particularly fixed-rate securities.
RISKS OF INVESTING IN LOWER QUALITY DEBT INSTRUMENTS. Lower quality debt
instruments usually pay a higher interest rate than investment-grade bonds, but
with the higher interest rate comes higher risks. Lower quality debt instruments
have the following characteristics:
- Speculative with only an adequate capacity to pay principal and interest;
- Tend to react more to changes in interest rates than do higher-rated
securities;
- Have a higher risk of default, tend to be less liquid, and may be more
difficult to value;
- Are issued by entities whose ability to make principal and interest
payments is more likely to be affected by changes in economic conditions
or other circumstances;
- Have poor prospects for reaching investment-grade standing and may be in
default;
- May be more severely affected than some other financial instruments by
economic recession or substantial interest rate increases, by changing
public perceptions of the market, or by legislation
23
<PAGE> 65
that limits their use in connection with corporate reorganizations or
limits their tax or other advantages; and
- Are more likely to react to developments affecting market risk and
financial risk than are higher quality debt instruments, which react
primarily to movements in the general level of interest rates.
LEVERAGE RISK. The risks associated with securities or investment practices
that enhance return (or loss) without increasing the amount of investment, such
as buying securities on margin or using certain derivative contracts or
derivative securities. A Portfolio's gain or loss on a leveraged position may be
greater than the actual market gain or loss in the underlying security or
instrument. A Portfolio may also incur additional costs in taking a leveraged
position (such as interest on borrowings) that may not be incurred in taking a
non-leveraged position.
LIQUIDITY RISK. The risk that certain securities or other investments may be
difficult or impossible to sell at the time the Portfolio would like to sell
them or at the price the Portfolio values them.
MANAGEMENT RISK. The risk that a strategy used by a Portfolio's Adviser does
not produce the intended result. For example, the Adviser's judgment about the
value or potential appreciation of a particular stock may prove to be incorrect.
MARKET RISK. The risk that the market value of a security may increase or
decrease, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to factors unrelated to the
issuer. This risk is common to all stocks and bonds and the mutual funds that
invest in them.
NATURAL EVENT RISK. The risk of losses attributable to natural disasters, crop
failures and similar events.
OPPORTUNITY RISK. The risk of missing out on an investment opportunity because
the assets necessary to take advantage of it are tied up in less advantageous
investments.
POLITICAL RISK. The risk of losses directly attributable to government actions
or political events of any sort. Foreign countries may experience political or
social instability or diplomatic developments that could affect investments in
those countries.
PREPAYMENT RISK. The risk that an unexpected fall in prevailing interest rates
will shorten the life of an outstanding mortgage-backed security by increasing
the expected number of mortgage prepayments, thereby reducing the security's
return.
SMALL COMPANY RISK. The risk of investing in securities of smaller companies.
Such smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial
resources and their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited
volume than the securities of larger or more established companies. These
companies are typically subject to a greater degree of changes in earnings and
business prospects than are larger, more established issuers. As a result, the
prices of securities of smaller companies may fluctuate to a greater degree than
the prices of securities of other issuers. Although investing in securities of
smaller companies offers potential for above-average returns, the risk exists
that the companies will not succeed and the prices of the companies' shares
could significantly decline in value.
SPECULATION RISK. Speculation involves assuming a higher than average risk of
loss in anticipation of gain. If a Portfolio uses a derivative contract or
derivative security to speculate rather than hedge, it is directly exposed to
the risks of that derivative contract or security. Gains or losses from
speculative positions in a derivative contract or security may be substantially
greater than the derivative contract or security's original cost.
VALUATION RISK. The risk that the market value of an investment falls
substantially below the Portfolio's valuation of the investment.

MANAGEMENT
ADVISERS
Under the terms of each investment advisory agreement, the Advisers, at their
own expense and subject to the supervision of the Fund's board of directors,
provide the appropriate Portfolio(s) with investment advice and manage the
investment and reinvestment of a Portfolio's assets. The Advisers also perform
research services and evaluate statistical and financial data relevant to a
Portfolio's investment policies, and provide the Fund's directors with regular
reports as to a Portfolio's overall investment plan, schedule of investments and
other assets, and recent purchases and sales by a Portfolio. The compensation
(as a percentage of each Portfolio's average daily net assets) paid monthly by

MONEY MARKET, GROWTH, BOND, MANAGED, AND AGGRESSIVE GROWTH PORTFOLIOS. Sentinel
Advisors Company serves as investment adviser for the Money Market, Growth,
Bond, Managed, and Aggressive Growth Portfolios. SAC is located at One National
Life Drive, Montpelier, Vermont 05604.
INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO. Providentmutual Investment Management Company serves

Westlakes Drive, Berwyn, Pennsylvania 19312. PIMC has engaged The Boston Company
Asset Management, Inc. to manage the investment and reinvestment of the
International Portfolio's assets, subject to monitoring by PIMC and supervision
by the Fund's board of directors. TBC is located at One Boston Place, Boston, MA
02108.
ALL PRO SMALL CAP GROWTH, ALL PRO LARGE CAP GROWTH, ALL PRO SMALL CAP VALUE, AND
ALL PRO LARGE CAP VALUE PORTFOLIOS. PIMC serves as investment adviser for the
All Pro Portfolios using a "manager of subadvisers" approach by which PIMC
allocates each All Pro Portfolio's assets among two or more "specialist"
investment subadvisers. PIMC selects investment subadvisers based on a
continuing quantitative and qualitative evaluation of their skills and proven
abilities in managing assets pursuant to a particular investment style.
Short-term performance is not by itself a significant factor in selecting or
terminating investment subadvisers, and therefore PIMC does not anticipate
frequent changes in investment subadvisers. Criteria for employment of
investment subadvisers includes, but is not limited to, proven discipline and
thoroughness in pursuit of stated investment objectives, consistently
above-average performance and an ability to preserve capital in declining
markets, and the expertise and level of service of the investment subadviser's
staff and organization. Investment subadvisers may have different investment
styles and security selection disciplines.
PIMC monitors the performance of each investment subadviser and of each All Pro
Portfolio and, to the extent it deems appropriate to achieve a Portfolio's
investment objective, reallocates Portfolio assets among individual subadvisers
or recommends to the Fund that a Portfolio employ or terminate particular
investment subadvisers. The Fund and PIMC may employ or terminate subadvisers
without shareholder approval. In the event that a new subadviser is employed for
a Portfolio, investors in that Portfolio will be sent additional information
about the subadviser.
PIMC has retained Wilshire Associates Incorporated ("Wilshire") as an investment
management consultant to assist it in identifying and evaluating the performance
of potential subadvisers for each of the All Pro Portfolios. Wilshire does not
participate in the selection of portfolio securities for any Portfolio or in any
way participate in the day-to-day management of the All Pro Portfolios or the
Fund. Wilshire assists PIMC in gathering data and performing the quantitative
analysis necessary to identify the styles and past performance of potential
subadvisers. Wilshire also assists PIMC in performing similar ongoing
quantitative analysis of the performance of each All Pro Portfolio's subadvisers
and in determining whether changes in a subadviser would be desirable for a
Portfolio. Wilshire is located at 1299 Ocean Avenue, Suite 700, Santa Monica CA
90401.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND'S SHARES
GENERAL
The Fund issues a separate class of shares of common stock for each Portfolio.
The Fund may establish additional portfolios in the future and additional
classes of shares for such new portfolios.
Based on current federal securities law requirements, the Fund expects that its
insurance company shareholders will offer owners of their variable life
insurance contracts and variable annuity contracts the opportunity to instruct
such shareholders as to how to vote shares allocable to their contracts
regarding certain matters, such as the approval of investment advisory
agreements. Fund shares not attributable to variable life insurance or annuity
contracts, or for which no timely instructions are received by insurance company
shareholders, are voted by each insurance company in the same proportion as the
voting instructions that are received by that company for all contracts of the
company participating in each Portfolio. The voting instructions received from
contract holders may be disregarded in certain circumstances that are described
in the prospectuses for the variable contracts.
DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE
The net asset value per share of each Portfolio (except the Money Market
Portfolio) is normally determined once daily as of the close of regular trading
on the New York Stock Exchange, currently 4:00 p.m. New York time, on each day
when the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. The net asset value of
the Money Market Portfolio is normally determined once daily on each day that
both the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank are open for
business. The New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank each is
scheduled to be open Monday through Friday throughout the year, except for
certain respective federal and other holidays. The net asset value of each
Portfolio is computed by dividing the sum of the value of the Portfolio's
securities, cash, and other assets, minus all liabilities, by the total number
of outstanding shares of the Portfolio.
The value of each Portfolio's securities and assets, except those of the Money
Market Portfolio and certain short-term debt securities held by any of the other
Portfolios, is determined on the basis of their market values. All of the
securities and assets of the Money Market Portfolio and short-term debt
securities having remaining maturities of sixty days or less held by any of the
other Portfolios are valued by the amortized cost method, which approximates
market value. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available
are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by, or under
authority delegated by, the Fund's board of directors. A Portfolio may invest in
securities primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on days when the
Portfolio does not price its shares. Therefore, the net asset value of the
Portfolio's shares may change on days when shareholders may not be able to
redeem Portfolio shares. See "Determination of Net Asset Value" in the SAI.
OFFER, PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Shares of the Fund are not available directly to the public. Currently, shares
of the Fund are sold, without sales charge, at each Portfolio's net asset value
per share, only to variable life insurance and variable annuity separate
accounts of Provident Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Provident Mutual") and
Providentmutual Life and Annuity Company of America ("PLACA"); and to variable
life insurance separate accounts of National Life Insurance Company ("NLIC"). In
the future, the Fund may offer shares of one or more of the Portfolios
(including new portfolios that might be added to the Fund) to other separate
accounts of Provident Mutual, PLACA or NLIC to support variable life insurance
policies or variable annuity contracts, or shares may also be sold to other
insurance company separate accounts to fund variable life insurance policies and
variable annuity contracts. The price per share is based on the next daily
calculation of net asset value after an order is placed.
Shares of the Portfolios are sold in a continuous offering and are authorized to
be offered to insurance company separate accounts to support variable life
insurance contracts and variable annuity contracts. Net
35
<PAGE> 77
premiums or net purchase payments under the respective contract or contracts are
placed in one or more subaccounts of a separate account and the assets of each
such separate account are invested in the shares of the Portfolio corresponding
to that subaccount. A separate account purchases and redeems shares of the
Portfolios for its subaccounts at net asset value without sales or redemption
charges.
On each day that a Portfolio's net asset value is calculated, a separate account
transmits to the Fund any orders to purchase or redeem shares of the
Portfolio(s) based on the premiums, purchase payments, redemption (surrender)
requests, and transfer requests from contract owners, annuitants, and
beneficiaries that have been processed on that day. A separate account purchases
and redeems shares of each Portfolio at the Portfolio's net asset value per
share calculated as of the same day, although such purchases and redemptions may
be executed the next morning. Money received by the Fund from a separate account
for the purchase of shares of the International Portfolio may not be invested by
that Portfolio until the day following the execution of such purchases.
Please refer to the separate prospectus for each separate account and its
related contract for a more detailed description of the procedures whereby a
contract owner, annuitant, or beneficiary may allocate his or her interest in a
separate account to a subaccount using the shares of one of the Portfolios as an
underlying investment medium.
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS, AND TAXES
The Fund intends that each of the Portfolios will continue to qualify as a
regulated investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), and will meet certain diversification requirements
applicable to mutual funds underlying variable insurance products. For a
discussion regarding what it means to qualify as a RIC and a general discussion
concerning some of the possible tax consequences associated with the operation
of the Fund, please refer to the section entitled "Taxes" in the SAI.
Shares of the Portfolios are offered only to insurance company separate
accounts. Under the Code, no tax is imposed on an insurance company with respect
to income of a qualifying separate account properly allocable to the value of
eligible variable life insurance or variable annuity contracts. Accordingly, no
gain or loss should be recognized on account of ordinary income or capital gains
distributions to the Fund's insurance company shareholders or upon the sale or
redemption of shares of the Portfolios. Please refer to the appropriate tax
disclosure in the respective prospectuses for a separate account and its related
contract for more information on the taxation of life insurance companies,
separate accounts, as well as the tax treatment of variable life insurance and
variable annuity contracts and the holders thereof.
For more information about the tax status of the Fund, see "Taxes" in the SAI.

OTHER INFORMATION
PREPARING FOR YEAR 2000
In providing investment advisory services to the Portfolios, each Adviser
utilizes systems that may be affected by Year 2000 transition issues. The
Advisers and the Portfolios also rely on service providers, including banks,
custodians, administrators, transfer agents and distributors, that also may be
affected. Each of the Advisers has developed, and is in the process of
implementing, a Year 2000 transition plan, and is confirming that its service
providers also are so engaged. The resources that are being devoted to this
effort are substantial. It is difficult to predict with precision whether the
amount of resources ultimately devoted, or the outcome of these efforts, will
have any negative impact on the Advisers or the Portfolios. As of the date of
this prospectus, it is not anticipated that a shareholder will experience
negative effects on the shareholder's investment, or on the services provided in
connection therewith, as a result of Year 2000 transition implementation.
However, there can be no assurance that the Advisers will be successful, or that
interaction with other service providers will not impair the Fund's or an
Adviser's services at that time.
EURO CONVERSION
On January 1, 1999, 11 participating countries in the European Economic Monetary
Union (Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,
the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain) adopted the Euro as their official
currency. As of January 1, 1999, governments in participating countries issued
new debt and redenominated existing debt in Euros, although corporations may
choose whether to issue stocks or bonds in Euros or the national currency. The
new European Central Bank (the "ECB") assumed responsibility for a uniform
monetary policy in participating countries. Currency conversion occurs through a
"triangulation" process whereby an amount denominated in one national currency
is converted into Euros, which are then converted into the second national
currency. The Euro conversion presents investors with unique risks and
uncertainties, including: (1) the readiness of Euro payment, clearing, and other
operational systems; (2) the legal treatment of debt instruments and financial
contracts denominated in or referring to existing national currencies rather
than the Euro; (3) exchange-rate fluctuations between the Euro and non-Euro
currencies during the transition period of January 1, 1999 through December 31,
2001 and beyond; (4) potential U.S. tax issues with respect to Portfolio
securities; and (5) the ECB's abilities to manage monetary policies among the
participating countries. Three other EU member countries (Denmark, Greece, and
the United Kingdom) may convert to the Euro at a later date. These and other
factors could adversely affect the value of or income from Portfolio securities.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY
The Market Street Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") was incorporated in the state of
Maryland on March 21, 1985. Each Portfolio of the Fund is an open-end
diversified management investment company as such terms are defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). As a "series" type
of mutual fund, the Fund issues separate classes (or series) of common stock for
each portfolio representing fractional undivided interests in that portfolio.
Currently there are eleven separate investment portfolios (each a "Portfolio,"
together, the "Portfolios"). An investor in a Portfolio is entitled to a
pro-rata share of all dividends and distributions arising from the net income
and capital gains on the investments of that Portfolio. An investor also shares
pro-rata in any losses of that Portfolio. The Portfolios do not intend to
concentrate their respective investments in a particular industry or group of
industries.
The Fund serves as an investment medium for variable life insurance contracts
and variable annuity contracts issued by Provident Mutual Life Insurance Company
("PMLIC"), Providentmutual Life and Annuity Company of America ("PLACA") and
National Life Insurance Company ("NLIC") of Montpelier, Vermont. NLIC is located
at One National Life Drive, Montpelier, Vermont 05604. Each of PMLIC and PLACA
is located at 1050 Westlakes Drive, Berwyn, PA 19312. Other than the shares sold
directly to PMLIC to seed the Managed, Aggressive Growth, International, All Pro
Large Cap Growth, All Pro Large Cap Value, All Pro Small Cap Growth and All Pro
Small Cap Value Portfolios, and to NLIC to seed the Sentinel Growth Portfolio,
shares of the Fund currently are sold only to separate accounts of Provident
Mutual and PLACA and to variable life insurance separate accounts of NLIC. In
the future, shares of the Fund may also be sold to separate accounts of other
affiliated or unaffiliated insurance companies in order to fund variable annuity
contracts or variable life insurance policies.
CONTROL PERSONS
As of the date of this SAI, NLIC and certain separate accounts supporting
variable contracts issued by PMLIC and PLACA, respectively, are the only
shareholders of the Portfolios. As the primary holders of the Portfolios'
shares, PMLIC, PLACA and NLIC together currently control the Fund. PMLIC and
PLACA will continue to control the Fund until other insurance companies, selling
significant amounts of variable life insurance and variable annuities, have made
substantial investments in Fund shares. For purposes of voting on matters
submitted to shareholders, any person who controls a mutual fund may be able to
significantly influence the outcome of any shareholder vote. However, each of
PMLIC, PLACA and NLIC generally votes the relevant shares at the shareholders'
meetings in accordance with the timely instructions received from owners of
variable contracts having contract values allocated to the relevant separate
accounts.
As of March 31, 1999, no policy holder owned a policy or contract which
individually or in the aggregate had a total interest in any Portfolio of more
than 5%. As of March 31, 1999, the officers and directors of the Fund as a group
did not beneficially own as policy holders more than a 1% interest in any
Portfolio.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES OF THE PORTFOLIOS
The investment objective or objectives of each Portfolio are set forth below.
They are fundamental and may not be changed unless authorized for each Portfolio
by the vote of a "1940 Act majority" of the outstanding voting shares of the
affected Portfolio, voting separately. Approval by a "1940 Act majority" of a
Portfolio's outstanding voting securities means the approval by the lesser of
(i) more than 50% of the Portfolio's outstanding voting securities, or (ii) 67%
or more of the Portfolio's outstanding voting securities present at a meeting if
the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the
Portfolio are present (in person or by proxy) (hereinafter referred to as a
"1940 Act Vote").

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
The following specific restrictions supplement the discussion of the Portfolios'
investment objectives and policies set forth in each Prospectus.
The Fund has adopted the following fundamental restrictions relating to the
investment of assets of the eleven Portfolios. These restrictions may not be
changed except by holders of a 1940 Act majority of outstanding voting shares of
each Portfolio affected. The Fund's fundamental investment restrictions provide
that no Portfolio of the Fund may:
(1) with respect to 75% of the Portfolio's total assets, purchase
securities of an issuer (other than the U.S. Government, its agencies or
instrumentalities), if (a) such purchase would cause more than 5% of the
Portfolio's total assets taken at market value to be invested in the
securities of such issuer, or (b) such purchase would at the time result in
more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer being
held by the Portfolio;
(2) invest 25% or more of its total assets in the securities of one or
more issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same
industry (excluding the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities);
(3) borrow money, except a Portfolio may (a) borrow from banks (as
defined in the 1940 Act) or through reverse repurchase agreements in
amounts up to 30% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed), (b)
to the extent permitted by applicable law, borrow up to an additional 5% of
its total assets for temporary purposes, (c) obtain such short-term credits
as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio
securities, and (d) purchase securities on margin to the extent permitted
by applicable law;
(4) make loans, except through (a) the purchase of debt obligations in
accordance with the Portfolio's investment objective and policies, (b)
repurchase agreements with banks, broker-dealers and other financial
institutions, and (c) loans of securities as permitted by applicable law;
(5) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that
the sale of portfolio securities by the Portfolio may be considered an
underwriting;

(6) purchase, hold or deal in real estate, although a Portfolio may
purchase and sell securities that are secured by real estate or interests
therein, securities of real estate investment trusts and mortgage-related
securities and may hold and sell real estate acquired by a Portfolio as a
result of the ownership of securities;
(7) invest in commodities or commodity contracts, except that the
Portfolio may invest in currency and financial instruments and contracts
that are commodities or commodity contracts; or
(8) issue senior securities to the extent such issuance would violate
applicable law.
The following restrictions are not fundamental policies and may be changed
without the approval of the outstanding voting shares of the affected Portfolio.
No Portfolio may:
(1) sell securities short or maintain a short position except for short
sales against the box; or
(2) invest more than 25% of the value of its total assets in the
securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities. This policy does
not apply to the International Portfolio; or
(3) acquire any security which is not readily marketable if more than
15% of the net assets of the Portfolio (other than the Money Market
Portfolio), and 10% of the net assets of the Money Market Portfolio, taken
at market value, would be invested in such securities.
Except for the limitations on borrowing from banks, if the above percentage
restrictions are adhered to at the time of investment, a later increase or
decrease in such percentage resulting from a change in values of securities or
amount of net assets will not be considered a violation of any of the foregoing
restrictions.
INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES AND RISKS
The following disclosure supplements the discussion of the Portfolios'
investment objectives and policies set forth in the Prospectus.
TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POSITIONS
Notwithstanding their investment objective(s), each of the Portfolios may, for
temporary defensive purposes to preserve capital, invest all or part of their
assets in cash and/or money market instruments of the type in which the Money
Market Portfolio may invest. For temporary defensive purposes to preserve
capital, the International Portfolio may hold part or all of its assets in
foreign currency or in non-dollar short-term debt securities.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
Each of the Portfolios may invest in repurchase agreements with member banks of
the Federal Reserve System or with dealers in U.S. Government securities. A
repurchase agreement customarily obligates the seller at the time it sells
securities to the Portfolio to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed
upon price and date (ordinarily a week or less). The total amount received on
repurchase would be calculated to exceed the price paid by the Portfolio,
reflecting an agreed upon market rate of interest for the period from the time
of the repurchase agreement to the settlement date, and would not necessarily be
related to the interest rate on the underlying securities. The underlying
securities are ordinarily U.S. Government securities, but may consist of other
securities in which the respective Portfolios may otherwise invest. Each
Portfolio (except the Money Market Portfolio) will not invest more than 15%, and
the Money Market Portfolio will not invest more than 10%, of its net assets in
repurchase agreements which have maturities of more than seven days and will not
invest in repurchase agreements with maturities of over 30 days. Repurchase
agreements will be fully collateralized at all times and interest on the
underlying security will not be taken into account for valuation purposes. Under
no circumstances will a Portfolio enter into a repurchase agreement with an
Adviser or an affiliate of an Adviser.
The primary risk of investing in repurchase agreements is that, to the extent
that the proceeds from any sale of the underlying securities and other
collateral relating to a repurchase agreement upon a default in the obligation
to repurchase were less than the repurchase price, the Portfolio would suffer a
loss. The
4
<PAGE> 95
Portfolio might also incur disposition costs in connection with liquidating its
collateral and, if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the
seller, realization upon the collateral by the Portfolio may be delayed or
limited and a loss (including loss of interest on or principal of the security)
may be incurred if the collateral securing the repurchase agreement declines in
value during the bankruptcy proceedings. To minimize the possibility of losses
due to the default or bankruptcy of the seller, the Fund has adopted standards
of credit worthiness for all parties with which the Fund enters into repurchase
agreements and will review compliance by such parties periodically.
BORROWING
Each of the Portfolios may borrow from banks or through reverse repurchase
agreements in amounts up to 30% of its total assets (including the amount
borrowed). Each Portfolio also may, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
borrow up to an additional 5% of its total assets for temporary purposes, and
may obtain such short-term credits as may be necessary for the clearance of
purchases and sales of portfolio securities and purchase securities on margin to
the extent permitted by applicable law. No Portfolio will borrow money for
leveraging purposes, and no Portfolio will purchase additional securities while
its borrowings exceed the above specified limits. As required by the Investment
Company Act of 1940, each Portfolio will maintain continuous asset coverage of
at least 300% of the amount borrowed. In the event that a Portfolio's asset
coverage falls below 300%, the Portfolio may be required to sell securities
within three days to reduce the amount of its borrowing and restore the 300%
asset coverage. Such sales of securities may occur at a time that is
disadvantageous for a Portfolio.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Portfolios may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with banks and
broker-dealers. These agreements have the characteristics of borrowing and
involve the sale of securities held by a Portfolio with an agreement to
repurchase the securities at an agreed upon date and price that reflects a rate
of interest paid for the use of funds for the period. Such transactions are
advantageous only if the Portfolios have the opportunity to earn a greater rate
of interest on the cash derived from the transaction than the interest cost of
obtaining that cash. The Portfolios may be unable to realize a rate of return
from the use of the proceeds equal to or greater than the interest expense of
the repurchase agreement. Thus, the Portfolios intend to enter into such
agreements only when it appears advantageous to do so. The use of reverse
repurchase agreements may magnify any increase or decrease in the value of the
Portfolios' investments. The Portfolios' custodian will maintain, in a
segregated account, fully liquid securities of each Portfolio that have a value
equal to or greater than the respective Portfolio's commitments under reverse
repurchase agreements. The value of securities subject to reverse repurchase
agreements will not exceed 30% of the value of the respective Portfolio's total
assets. Under no circumstances will a Portfolio enter into a reverse repurchase
agreement with an Adviser or any affiliate of an Adviser.
COVERED CALL OPTION CONTRACTS
The Growth, Managed, Aggressive Growth and All Pro Portfolios may engage in
certain limited options strategies. These options strategies are limited to
writing (selling) covered call options which are traded on a domestic securities
exchange with respect to securities in which a Portfolio may invest and entering
into "closing purchase transactions" in order to terminate its obligation as a
writer of a call option prior to the expiration of the option. A Portfolio will
not write a call option if the securities covered by such options exceed 25% of
the Portfolio's total assets at that time. Moreover, in order to maintain
qualification for treatment as a regulated investment company for federal income
tax law purposes, the writing of covered calls may be further limited.
A covered call option gives the purchaser of the option the right to purchase
the underlying security from a Portfolio at a fixed exercise price at any time
prior to the expiration of the option, regardless of the market price of the
security during the option period. As consideration for the option, the
purchaser pays the Portfolio a premium, which the Portfolio retains whether or
not the option is exercised. A covered call
5
<PAGE> 96
option will benefit a Portfolio if, over the option period, the underlying
security declines in value or does not appreciate above the aggregate value of
the exercise price plus the premium. However, the Portfolio risks the loss of
profits if the underlying security appreciates above the aggregate value of the
exercise price and premium.
So long as a Portfolio remains obligated as a writer of a call, it forgoes the
opportunity to profit from increases in the market price of the underlying
security above the call price. The Portfolio may close out a covered call option
position by purchasing on the same exchange a call option on the same security,
with the same exercise price and the same expiration date as the call previously
written on that security. Although writing only call options which are traded on
a national securities exchange increases the likelihood of being able to make
closing purchase transactions, there is no assurance that the Portfolio will be
able to do so at any particular time or at an acceptable price. Depending upon
the premium paid for the option relative to the premium received on the option
written, the Portfolio may realize a profit or loss on a closing transaction.
The writing of call options could result in increases in the turnover rate of
the Portfolio, especially during periods when market prices of the underlying
securities appreciate, which could result in higher brokerage costs. In
addition, brokerage commissions will be paid by the Portfolio on both the
establishment and closing out of an option position.
A Portfolio may write covered call options on particular portfolio securities
when it believes that the market value of those securities will either decline
or will not increase over the period covered by the option. In this manner, the
Portfolio hopes that the option price received (net of transaction costs) may
offset any decline in the market value of the security or otherwise generate
income for the Portfolio. To the extent income is generated, writing covered
call options generally will help to achieve the Growth Portfolio's secondary
objective of a reasonable level of income, but does not further the Portfolio's
primary objective of achieving intermediate and long-term growth of capital,
except to the extent that it "hedges" against capital losses. The investment
program for the Aggressive Growth Portfolio is expected to produce only modest
current income, if any, and such income will not be a basic part of the
Portfolio's objective but will be merely incidental.
SHORT-TERM TRADING
Other than the Bond Portfolio and the Managed Portfolio, the Portfolios do not
expect to trade in securities for short-term gains. Notwithstanding this, an
Adviser may, from time to time, make short-term investments when it believes
that such investments will benefit a Portfolio and may dispose of any investment
without regard to the length of time that the investment has been held. The Bond
Portfolio intends to use short-term trading of securities if it believes the
transactions net of costs (including any commission) will benefit its portfolio
for the purposes of:
(a) Avoiding potential depreciation in the value of a security held in
the portfolio where the Portfolio anticipates that it may decline in market
value as a result of unfavorable earnings trends and/ or unfavorable
investment environment; or
(b) Increasing the return by taking advantage of yield disparities
between various fixed-income securities in order to realize capital gains
or improved income on the portfolio.
ILLIQUID ASSETS
No Portfolio (other than the Money Market Portfolio) may invest more than 15%,
and the Money Market Portfolio may not invest more than 10%, of the value of its
net assets in securities that are not readily marketable. This limit does not
apply to a Portfolio's investment in securities purchased or sold pursuant to
Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 which the Board of Directors has
determined are liquid. This restriction does apply to repurchase agreements
maturing in more than seven days. This restriction also applies to securities
received as a result of a corporate reorganization or similar transaction
affecting readily marketable securities already held by the Fund's Portfolios.
6
<PAGE> 97
INVESTMENT-GRADE SECURITIES
Investment-grade securities include securities rated, at the time of purchase,
"investment grade" by a nationally-recognized statistical rating organization
("NRSRO") (e.g., Baa or higher by Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") or BBB
or higher by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("Standard & Poor's")) or unrated
securities that the Adviser determines to be of comparable quality. (See
Appendix A to this SAI for an explanation of ratings.) Unrated securities of a
quality comparable to rated securities may nonetheless trade in the market at a
discount from the price of comparable rated securities.
LOWER QUALITY DEBT INSTRUMENTS
Up to 25% of the total assets of each of the Bond and the Managed Portfolios may
be invested in lower quality debt instruments (rated BB by Standard & Poor's or
Ba by Moody's, or comparable unrated securities). Furthermore, debt instruments
with higher ratings, and especially those rated as investment-grade but not high
quality (i.e., rated BBB by Standard & Poors or Baa by Moody's) may, after
purchase by either Portfolio, have their ratings lowered due to the
deterioration of the issuer's financial position. In the event that the rating
of a bond held by either Portfolio drops below BBB or Baa, the decision whether
to retain or dispose of the bond will be made on a case by case basis. However,
in no event will the amount of assets held in lower quality debt instruments be
greater than that set forth above.
Lower quality debt instruments entail certain risks. Lower-rated debt
instruments are subject to market risk and are considered, on balance, as
predominantly speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay
principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation and will generally
involve more credit risk than securities in the higher rating categories. In
some cases such securities may be highly speculative, have poor prospects for
reaching investment-grade standing and be in default. The market values of such
securities tend to reflect market risk and credit risk, as well as individual
corporate developments, to a greater extent than do higher-rated securities,
which react primarily to fluctuations in the general level of interest rates.
Such lower-rated securities also tend to be more sensitive to economic
conditions than higher-rated securities. Adverse publicity and investor
perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, regarding lower-rated
bonds may depress prices and liquidity for such securities. To the extent a
Portfolio invests in these securities, factors adversely affecting the market
value of lower-quality, high-yielding securities will adversely affect a
Portfolio's net asset value.
Lower-rated, high-yielding securities may be issued by corporations in the
growth stage of their development. They may also be issued in connection with a
corporate reorganization or as part of a corporate takeover. Companies that
issue such high-yielding securities are often highly leveraged and may not have
available to them more traditional methods of financing. Therefore, the risk
associated with acquiring the securities of such issuers generally is greater
than is the case with higher-rated securities. For example, during an economic
downturn or a sustained period of rising interest rates, highly leveraged
issuers of high-yielding securities may experience financial stress. During such
periods, such issuers may not have sufficient revenues to meet their interest
payment obligations. The issuer's ability to service its debt obligations may
also be adversely affected by specific corporate developments, the issuer's
inability to meet specific projected business forecasts, or the unavailability
of additional financing. The risk of loss due to default by the issuer is
significantly greater for the holders of high-yielding securities because such
securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors
of the issuers.
A Portfolio may have difficulty disposing of certain high-yielding securities
for which there is a thin trading market. Because not all dealers maintain
markets in all high-yielding securities, there is no established retail
secondary market for many of these securities, and the Fund anticipates that
they could be sold only to a limited number of dealers or institutional
investors. To the extent there is a secondary trading market for high-yielding
securities, it is generally not as liquid as that for higher-rated securities.
The lack of a liquid secondary market for certain securities may make it more
difficult for the Fund and its Board of Directors to obtain accurate market
quotations for purposes of valuing a Portfolio's assets. Market
7
<PAGE> 98
quotations are generally available on many high-yield issues only from a limited
number of dealers and may not necessarily represent firm bids of such dealers or
prices for actual sales.
The market for high-yielding securities has not weathered a major economic
recession, and it is not known how one might affect that market. It is likely,
however, that any such recession could severely affect the market for and the
values of such securities, as well as the ability of the issuers of such
securities to repay principal and pay interest thereon. Moreover, such a
recession could also increase the incidence of defaults of high-yielding
securities.
A Portfolio may acquire high-yielding securities that are sold without
registration under the federal securities laws and therefore carry restrictions
on resale. A Portfolio may incur special costs in disposing of such securities,
but will generally incur no costs when the issuer is responsible for registering
the securities.
A Portfolio also may acquire high-yielding securities during an initial
underwriting. Such securities involve special risks because they are new issues.
The Fund has no arrangement with any person concerning the acquisition of such
securities, and the Adviser will carefully review the credit and other
characteristics pertinent to such new issues.
From time to time, there have been proposals for legislation designed to limit
the use of certain high-yielding securities in connection with leveraged
buy-outs, mergers and acquisitions, or to limit the deductibility of interest
payments on such securities. Such proposals, if enacted into law, could
generally reduce the market for such securities, could negatively affect the
financial condition of issuers of high-yielding securities by removing or
reducing a source of future financing, and could negatively affect the value of
specific high-yield issues. However, the likelihood of any such legislation or
the effect thereof is uncertain.
As savings and loan associations dispose of their portfolios of lower quality
debt instruments pursuant to the Financial Institutions Reform Recovery and
Enforcement Act of 1989, the general market and prices for such securities
should be adversely affected.
FOREIGN SECURITIES
FOREIGN SECURITIES GENERALLY. Investments in the securities of foreign issuers
or investments in non-dollar securities may offer potential benefits not
available from investments solely in securities of domestic issuers or dollar
denominated securities. Such benefits may include the opportunity to invest in
foreign issuers that appear to offer better opportunity for long-term capital
appreciation or current earnings than investments in domestic issuers, the
opportunity to invest in foreign countries with economic policies or business
cycles different from those of the United States, and the opportunity to reduce
fluctuations in portfolio value by taking advantage of foreign securities
markets that do not necessarily move in a manner parallel to U.S. markets.
Investing in non-dollar securities or in the securities of foreign issuers
involves significant risks that are not typically associated with investing in
U.S. dollar denominated securities or in securities of domestic issuers. Such
investments may be affected by changes in currency rates, changes in foreign or
U.S. laws, or restrictions applicable to such investments and in exchange
control regulations. For example, a decline in the currency exchange rate would
reduce the value of certain portfolio investments. In addition, if the exchange
rate for the currency in which a Portfolio receives interest payments declines
against the U.S. dollar before such interest is paid as dividends to
shareholders, the Portfolio may have to sell portfolio securities to obtain
sufficient cash to pay such dividends. A Portfolio may purchase or sell foreign
currency and forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge its foreign
currency exposure; however, such techniques also entail certain risks. Some
foreign stock markets may have substantially less volume than, for example, the
New York Stock Exchange and securities of some foreign issuers may be less
liquid than securities of comparable domestic issuers. Commissions and dealer
mark-ups on transactions in foreign investments may be higher than for similar
transactions in the United States. In addition, clearance and settlement
procedures may be different in foreign countries and, in certain markets, on
certain occasions,
8
<PAGE> 99
such procedures have been unable to keep pace with the volume of securities
transactions, thus making it difficult to conduct such transactions. For
example, delays in settlement could result in temporary periods when a portion
of the assets of a Portfolio are uninvested and no return is earned thereon. The
inability of a Portfolio to make intended investments due to settlement problems
could cause it to miss attractive investment opportunities. Inability to dispose
of portfolio securities or other investments due to settlement problems could
result either in losses to a Portfolio due to subsequent declines in value of
the portfolio investment or, if the Portfolio has entered into a contract to
sell the investment, could result in possible liability to the purchaser.
Foreign issuers are not generally subject to uniform accounting, auditing and
financial reporting standards comparable to those applicable to domestic
companies. There may be less publicly available information about a foreign
issuer than about a domestic one. In addition, there is generally less
government regulation of stock exchanges, brokers, and listed and unlisted
issuers in foreign countries than in the United States. Furthermore, with
respect to certain foreign countries, there is a possibility of expropriation or
confiscatory taxation, imposition of withholding taxes on dividend or interest
payments, limitations on the removal of funds or other assets of a Portfolio, or
political or social instability or diplomatic developments that could affect
investments in those countries. Individual foreign economies also may differ
favorably or unfavorably from the United States economy in such respects as
growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment,
resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments position.
INVESTMENTS IN ADRS, EDRS AND GDRS. Many securities of foreign issuers are
represented by ADRs, EDRs and GDRs. The Bond Portfolio, the International
Portfolio, the Managed Portfolio, the Aggressive Growth Portfolio and the All
Pro Portfolios may invest in ADRs, EDRs and GDRs. ADRs represent the right to
receive securities of foreign issuers deposited in a domestic bank or a foreign
correspondent bank. Prices of ADRs are quoted in U.S. dollars, and ADRs are
traded in the United States on exchanges or over-the-counter and are sponsored
and issued by domestic banks. ADRs do not eliminate all the risk inherent in
investing in the securities of foreign issuers. To the extent that a Portfolio
acquires ADRs through banks that do not have a contractual relationship with the
foreign issuer of the security underlying the ADR to issue and service such
ADRs, there may be an increased possibility that the Portfolio would not become
aware of and be able to respond to corporate actions such as stock splits or
rights offerings involving the foreign issuer in a timely manner. In addition,
the lack of information may result in inefficiencies in the valuation of such
instruments. However, by investing in ADRs rather than directly in the stock of
foreign issuers, a Portfolio will avoid currency risks during the settlement
period for either purchases or sales. In general, there is a large, liquid
market in the United States for ADRs quoted on a national securities exchange or
the National Association of Securities Dealers national market system. The
information available for ADRs is subject to the accounting, auditing and
financial reporting standards of the domestic market or exchange on which they
are traded, which standards are more uniform and more exacting than those to
which many foreign issuers may be subject.
EDRs and GDRs are receipts evidencing an arrangement with a non-U.S. bank
similar to that for ADRs and are designed for use in non-U.S. securities
markets. EDRs and GDRs are not necessarily quoted in the same currency as the
underlying security.
INVESTMENTS IN EMERGING MARKETS. The International Portfolio and the Managed
Portfolio may invest in securities of issuers located in countries with emerging
economies and or securities markets. These countries are located in the
Asia-Pacific region, Eastern Europe, Central and South America and Africa.
Political and economic structures in many of these countries may be undergoing
significant evolution and rapid development, and such countries may lack the
social, political and economic stability characteristic of more developed
countries. Certain of these countries may have in the past failed to recognize
private property rights and have at times nationalized or expropriated the
assets of private companies. As a result, the risks of foreign investment,
generally including the risks of nationalization or expropriation of assets, may
be heightened. In addition, unanticipated political or social developments may
affect the values of
9
<PAGE> 100
these Portfolios' investments in those countries and the availability to the
Portfolio of additional investments in those countries.
The small size and inexperience of the securities markets in certain of these
countries and the limited volume of trading in securities in those countries may
also make the International, Managed or an All Pro Portfolio's investments in
such countries illiquid and more volatile than investments in Japan or most
Western European countries, and a Portfolio may be required to establish special
custody or other arrangements before making certain investments in those
countries. There may be little financial or accounting information available
with respect to issuers located in certain of such countries, and it may be
difficult as a result to assess the value or prospects of an investment in such
issuers. The laws of some foreign countries may limit the ability of the
International or Managed Portfolio to invest in securities of certain issuers
located in those countries.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
To the extent that a Portfolio invests in foreign securities, the value of its
assets as measured in United States dollars may be affected favorably or
unfavorably by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and exchange control
regulations, and the Portfolio may incur costs in connection with conversions
between various currencies.
The Portfolios will conduct foreign currency exchange transactions either on a
spot (i.e., cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency
exchange market, or through the use of forward contracts to purchase or sell
foreign currencies. A forward foreign currency exchange contract will involve an
obligation by the Fund to purchase or sell a specific amount of 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 transferable in the interbank market conducted directly
between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. A
forward contract generally has no deposit requirements, and no commissions are
charged at any stage for trades. Neither type of foreign currency transaction
will eliminate fluctuations in the prices of each Portfolio's securities or
prevent loss if the prices of such securities should decline.
The Portfolios may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts only
under two circumstances. First, when a Portfolio enters into a contract for the
purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency, it may desire
to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of the security. A Portfolio will then enter
into a forward contract for the purchase or sale, for a fixed amount of dollars,
of the amount of foreign currency involved in the underlying securities
transactions. In this manner a Portfolio will be better able to protect itself
against a possible loss resulting from an adverse change in the relationship
between the U.S. dollar and the subject foreign currency during the period
between the date the securities are purchased or sold and the date on which
payment is made or received.
Second, when the Adviser believes that the currency of a particular foreign
country may suffer a substantial decline against the U.S. dollar, it may enter
into a forward contract to sell, for a fixed amount of dollars, the amount of
foreign currency approximating the value of some or all of a Portfolio's
securities denominated in such foreign currency. The precise matching of the
forward contract amounts and the value of the securities involved will not
generally be possible since the future value of such securities in foreign
currencies will change 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 short-term currency market movement is
extremely difficult, and the successful execution of a short-term hedging
strategy is highly uncertain. The Portfolios do not intend to enter into such
forward contracts under this second circumstance on a regular or continuous
basis. The Portfolios will also not enter into such forward contracts or
maintain a net exposure to such contracts when the consummation of the contracts
would obligate a Portfolio to deliver an amount of foreign currency in excess of
the value of the Portfolio's securities or other assets denominated in that
currency. The Adviser believes that it is important to have the flexibility to
enter into such forward contracts when it determines that to do so is in the
best interests of the respective
10
<PAGE> 101
Portfolio. The Portfolios' custodian bank segregates cash or equity or debt
securities in an amount not less than the value of each Portfolio's total assets
committed to forward foreign currency exchange contracts entered into under this
second type of transaction. If the value of the securities segregated declines,
additional cash or securities are added so that the segregated amount is not
less than the amount of the respective Portfolio's commitments with respect to
such contracts. Under normal circumstances, the Portfolios expect that any
appreciation (depreciation) on such forward exchange contracts will be
approximately offset by the (depreciation) appreciation in translation of the
underlying foreign investment arising from fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates.
The Portfolios will recognize the unrealized appreciation or depreciation from
the fluctuation in a foreign currency forward contract as an increase or
decrease in the respective Portfolio's net assets on a daily basis, thereby
providing an appropriate measure of each Portfolio's financial position and
changes in financial position.
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS
The Portfolios may invest in shares of real estate investment trusts ("REITs").
REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income producing
real estate or real estate related loans or interests. REITs generally are
classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs or a combination of equity and
mortgage REITs. Equity REITs invest the majority of their assets directly in
real property and derive income primarily from the collection of rents. Equity
REITs can also realize capital gains by selling properties that have appreciated
in value. Mortgage REITs invest the majority of their assets in real estate
mortgages and derive income from the collection of interest payments. REITs are
not taxed on income distributed to shareholders provided they comply with
several requirements of the Code. A Portfolio will indirectly bear its
proportionate share of any expenses paid by REITs in which it invests in
addition to the expenses paid by the Portfolio.
Investing in REITs involves certain unique risks. Equity REITs may be affected
by changes in the value of the underlying property owned by such REITs, while
mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended. REITs are
dependent upon management skills, are not diversified (except to the extent the
Code requires), and are subject to the risks of financing projects. REITs are
subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers, self-liquidation,
and the possibilities of failing to qualify for the exemption from tax for
distributed income under the Code and failing to maintain their exemptions from
the 1940 Act. REITs (especially mortgage REITs) are also subject to interest
rate risk.
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES AND DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES
Each Portfolio, except the Sentinel Growth Portfolio, may purchase securities on
a when-issued or delayed delivery basis in an amount up to 10% of such
Portfolio's net assets. When-issued securities transactions arise when
securities are purchased by a Portfolio with payment and delivery taking place
on a future date determined at the time of entering into the transaction
(transaction date) in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous
price and yield to the Portfolio on the transaction date. Once a Portfolio
commits to purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, it
records the transaction and thereafter reflects the daily value of such
securities in determining its net asset value. Although a Portfolio will
generally purchase when-issued securities with the intention of acquiring those
securities for its portfolio, the Portfolio may dispose of a when-issued
security prior to settlement if the Adviser deems it advantageous to do so. For
all when-issued securities transactions, the Fund's custodian bank will hold and
maintain in a segregated account until the settlement date, cash or fully liquid
securities of the Portfolio with a market value, determined daily, equal to or
greater than such commitments. If a Portfolio elects to dispose of the right to
acquire a when-issued security prior to its acquisition, it could experience a
gain or loss on the security due to market fluctuation.
11
<PAGE> 102
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
Each Portfolio has a different expected annual rate of portfolio turnover, which
is calculated by dividing the lesser of purchases or sales of Portfolio
securities during the fiscal year by the monthly average of the value of the
Portfolio's securities (excluding from the computation all securities, including
options, with maturities at the time of acquisition of one year or less).
Turnover rates may vary greatly from year to year as well as within a particular
year and may also be affected by cash requirements for redemptions of each
Portfolio's shares and by requirements which enable the Fund to receive certain
favorable tax treatments. The portfolio turnover rates will, of course, depend
in large part on the level of purchases and redemptions of shares of each
Portfolio. If a Portfolio's portfolio turnover rate exceeds 100%, it may result
in correspondingly increased brokerage expenses and other acquisition costs to
that Portfolio (see "Portfolio Transactions and Brokerage Allocation.").
However, because rate of portfolio turnover is not a limiting factor, particular
holdings may be sold at any time, if investment judgment or Portfolio operations
make a sale advisable.
No portfolio turnover rate is calculated for the Money Market Portfolio due to
the short maturities of the instruments the Portfolio purchases. Portfolio
turnover should not affect the income or net asset value of the Money Market
Portfolio because brokerage commissions are not normally charged on the purchase
or sale of money market instruments.
The annual portfolio turnover rates for 1998, 1997, and 1996 (as applicable) for
each of the Portfolios (except the Money Market Portfolio) is set forth below.
There is no portfolio turnover data for 1997 and 1996 for the All Pro Portfolios
because each such Portfolio commenced operations only in 1998.

Portfolios on January 29, 1993.

the Fund and PIMC respecting PIMC providing investment advisory services for the
All Pro Large Cap Growth, All Pro Large Cap Value, All Pro Small Cap Growth and
All Pro Small Cap Value Portfolios, which was effective May 1, 1998.
In voting to approve each of the foregoing advisory agreements PMLIC and/or
PLACA voted their Fund shares for or against such approvals, or withheld their
votes, in the same proportion as Policyholders having an interest in the
respective Portfolios, voted for, against or withheld their votes with respect
to the agreement for that Portfolio.
Each of the agreements terminates automatically in the event of its assignment
or, with respect to any Portfolio, upon 60 days' notice given by the Fund's
Board of Directors, by the Adviser or by majority vote (as defined in the 1940
Act and the rules thereunder) of the Portfolio's shares. Otherwise, the
investment advisory agreements will continue in force with respect to any
Portfolio so long as their continuance is approved at least annually by a
majority of the "non-interested" members of the Fund's Board of Directors, and
by (i) a 1940 Act vote of the Portfolio's shareholders or (ii) the Fund's Board
of Directors.
The Advisers manage the investment operations of the Fund and the composition of
each Portfolio, including the purchase, retention and disposition of the
investments, securities and cash contained therein, in accordance with each
Portfolio's investment objective(s) and policies as stated in the Fund's
Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, Prospectus and SAI as from time to time in
effect. In connection therewith, the Advisers provide investment research and
supervision of the Fund's investments and conduct a continuous program of
investment evaluation and, if appropriate, sales and reinvestment of the Fund's
assets. The Advisers furnish to the Fund such statistical information, with
respect to the investments which the Fund may hold or contemplate purchasing, as
the Fund may reasonably request. On the Advisers' own initiatives, the Advisers
apprise the Fund of important developments materially affecting each Portfolio
and furnish the Fund from time to time such information as the Advisers may
believe appropriate for this purpose. The Advisers also implement all purchases
and sales of investments for each Portfolio in a manner consistent with such
policies.

INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
As stated in the Prospectus, PIMC has entered into an Investment Sub-Advisory
Agreement with TBC whereby TBC provides subadvisory services to the
International Portfolio, under which PIMC receives recommendations, research and
other investment services upon which it may base its investment recommendation
to the Fund.
For its services to PIMC, TBC received compensation from PIMC equal to the
greater of: (i) a monthly fee at an effective annual rate of 0.375% of the first
$500 million of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio and 0.30% of the
average daily net assets in excess of $500 million; or (ii) $20,000 per year.
The Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement was approved by a majority of the Fund's
Board of Directors, including a majority of its "non-interested" directors, on
July 14, 1994 and became effective on July 18, 1994. On February 27, 1997, the
Fund's Board of Directors, including a majority of its "non-interested"
directors, unanimously voted to approve continuation of the Investment
Sub-Advisory Agreement with TBC. On November 15, 1994 the Investment
Sub-Advisory Agreement was approved by shareholders of the International
Portfolio. The Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will continue in effect from
year to year as long as such continuance is approved at least annually by a
majority of the "non-interested" members of the Fund's Board of Directors and by
(i) a 1940 Act vote of the Portfolio's shareholders or (ii) the Fund's Board of
Directors. The Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement may be terminated without
penalty on 60 days' prior written notice by the Fund's Board of Directors, by
PIMC or by TBC, as the case may be, and is terminated automatically in the event
of its assignment.
For 1998 and 1997 PIMC incurred $259,189 and $220,457, respectively for
investment advisory services rendered by TBC in connection with the
International Portfolio.
PIMC has retained Wilshire Associates Incorporated ("Wilshire") as an investment
management consultant to assist it in identifying and evaluating the performance
of potential sub-advisers for each of the All Pro Portfolios. Wilshire does not
participate in the selection of portfolio securities for any Portfolio or in any
way participate in the day-to-day management of the All Pro Portfolios or the
Fund. Wilshire assists PIMC in gathering data and performing the quantitative
analysis necessary to identify the styles and past performance of potential
sub-advisers. Wilshire also assists PIMC in performing similar ongoing quantita-
18
<PAGE> 109
tive analysis of the performance of each All Pro Portfolio's sub-advisers and in
determining whether changes in a sub-adviser would be desirable for a Portfolio.
As compensation for such services, PIMC pays Wilshire a sub-advisory fee equal
to .05% of the average daily net assets of the All Pro Portfolios.
On behalf of the All Pro Portfolios, and after consultation with Wilshire, PIMC
has selected, and has entered into Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements with, the
sub-advisers listed above under "Investment Advisory and Other Services." The
table below indicates the rate of compensation to be paid by PIMC to each
sub-adviser pursuant to the relevant Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement and the

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND BROKERAGE ALLOCATION
The Advisers, other than Wilshire, to the Fund place all portfolio orders on
behalf of each Portfolio and attempt, in all cases, to obtain the most favorable
prices and executions. The Advisers may place orders with brokers that are
affiliated persons of the Fund pursuant to procedures established by the Board
of Directors. However, in no event will persons affiliated with the Fund deal
with the Fund as principal in the purchase and sale of the Fund's portfolio
securities.
Equity securities are customarily traded on the stock exchange, but may also be
traded over-the-counter. Bonds and debentures are customarily traded
over-the-counter but may be traded on the bond exchange. Money market
instruments are traded primarily in the over-the-counter market. Purchases and
sales on the stock exchanges are effected by brokers and normally involve the
payment of brokerage commissions. Over-the-counter securities are purchased
directly from the issuer or dealers who are usually acting as principals for
their own accounts. These securities are generally traded on a net basis and do
not involve either brokerage commissions or transfer taxes. Consequently, the
cost of executing such transactions consists primarily of mark-ups on the value
of the securities or dealer spreads and underwriting commissions.
The Advisers to the Fund determine the brokers to be used for purchases and
sales of each Portfolio's securities. There are no arrangements whatsoever,
written or oral, relating to the allocation to specific brokers of orders for
portfolio transactions. Consideration is given to those firms providing
statistical and
20
<PAGE> 111
research services to the investment advisers, but it is generally not the policy
of any Portfolio, other than the All Pro Portfolios, to pay higher brokerage
commissions to a firm solely because it has provided such services. The
sub-advisers to the All Pro Portfolios are authorized to consider, in the
selection of brokers and dealers to execute portfolio transactions, not only the
available prices and rates of brokerage commissions but also other relevant
factors which may include, without limitation, the execution capabilities of
such brokers and dealers, research, custody and other services provided by such
brokers and dealers which the sub-adviser believes will enhance its general
portfolio management capabilities, the size of the transaction, the difficulty
of execution, the operational facilities of such brokers and dealers, the risk
to such a broker or dealer of positioning a block of securities, and the overall
quality of brokerage and research services provided by such brokers and dealers.
In connection with the foregoing, a sub-adviser to an All Pro Portfolio is
specifically authorized to pay those brokers and dealers who provide brokerage
and research services to it, a higher commission than that charged by other
brokers and dealers if the sub-adviser determines in good faith that the amount
of such commission is reasonable in relation to the value of such services in
terms of either the particular transaction or in terms of the sub-adviser's
overall responsibilities with respect to the relevant Portfolio segment and to
any other client accounts or portfolios which the sub-adviser advises. The
execution of such transactions shall not be considered to represent an unlawful
breach of any duty created by a sub-advisory agreement or otherwise. Statistical
and research services furnished by brokers typically include: analysts' reports
on companies and industries, market forecasts, economic analyses and the like.
Such services may tend to reduce the expenses of the Adviser and this has been
considered in setting the advisory fees paid by the Fund.
During the period from January 1, 1998 to December 31, 1998, the Fund paid
aggregate brokerage fees of $522,878 of which $214,842 was paid by the Growth

Aggressive Growth Portfolio, $19,438 was paid by the Sentinel Growth Portfolio,
$128,845 was paid by the International Portfolio, $11,433 was paid by the All

Portfolio, $23,232 was paid by the All Pro Large Cap Value Portfolio, and
$20,411 was paid by the All Pro Small Cap Value Portfolio.
During the period from January 1, 1997 to December 31, 1997, the Fund paid

Aggressive Growth Portfolio, $12,441 was paid by the Sentinel Growth Portfolio
and $116,234 was paid by the International Portfolio.
DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE
As stated in the Prospectus, the Fund will offer and sell its shares at each
Portfolio's per share net asset value. The net asset value of the shares of each
Portfolio (except the Money Market Portfolio) of the Fund is determined as of
the close of the New York Stock Exchange on each day when the New York Stock
Exchange is open for business for the day prior to the day on which a
transaction is to be effected. The net asset value of the Money Market Portfolio
is determined once daily on each day the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal
Reserve Bank both are open for business.
The New York Stock Exchange currently is open each day, Monday through Friday,
except the following holidays: New Year's Day, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,
Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving and Christmas, and on the preceding Friday or subsequent Monday
when one of these holidays falls on a Saturday or Sunday, respectively.

The Federal Reserve Bank is open each day, Monday through Friday, except the
following holidays: New Year's Day, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents'
Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day,
Thanksgiving Day and Christmas, and the preceding Friday or subsequent Monday
when one of these days follow on a Saturday or Sunday, respectively.
The Fund's Board of Directors has specifically approved the use of a pricing
service for debt securities with maturities generally exceeding one year. Prices
provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on
quoted prices and may take into account appropriate factors such as institution
size, trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate,
maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data.
Equity investments (including common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible
securities, and warrants) and call options written on all portfolio investments
listed or traded on a national exchange are valued at their last sale price on
that exchange prior to the time when such assets are valued. For days having no
exchange sales and for unlisted securities, such securities and call options
written on portfolio securities are valued at the last sale price on the NASDAQ
(National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations) National
Market System. If no National Market System sales occur on that day, equity
securities are valued at the last reported "bid" price and call options written
on all portfolio securities for which other over-the-counter market quotations
are readily available are valued at the last reported "asked" price. Debt
securities with maturities exceeding one year are valued on the basis of
valuations furnished by a pricing service when such prices are believed to
reflect such securities' fair value.
The value of a foreign security held by the International Portfolio is
determined based upon its sale price on the foreign exchange or market on which
it is traded and in the currency of that market, as of the close of the
appropriate exchange or, if there have been no sales during the day, at the mean
of the closing bid and asked prices. Trading in securities on exchanges and
over-the-counter markets in Europe and the Far East is normally completed at
various times prior to the current closing time of the New York Stock Exchange.
Trading on foreign exchanges may not take place on every day the New York Stock
Exchange is open. Conversely, trading in various foreign markets may take place
on days when the New York Stock Exchange is not open. Consequently, the net
asset value calculation for the Portfolio may not occur contemporaneously with
the determination of the most current market prices of the securities included
in such calculation. In addition, the value of the net assets held by the
Portfolio may be significantly affected on days when shares are not available
for purchase or redemption.
Any assets that are denominated in a foreign currency are converted into U.S.
dollar equivalents at the prevailing market rates as quoted by generally
recognized reliable sources.
Money market instruments with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less held by
any Portfolio, and all instruments held by the Money Market Portfolio (including
master demand notes) will be valued on an amortized cost basis. Under this
method of valuation, the instrument is initially valued at cost (or in the case
of instruments purchased with more than 60 days remaining to maturity, the
market value on the 61st day prior to maturity); thereafter, the Fund assumes a
constant proportionate amortization in value until maturity of any discount or
premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market
value of the instrument. For purposes of this method of valuation, the maturity
of a variable rate certificate of deposit is deemed to be the next coupon date
on which the interest rate is to be adjusted. While this method provides
certainty in valuation, it may result in periods during which value, as
determined by amortized cost, is higher or lower than the price that would be
received upon sale of the instrument. During period of declining interest rates,
the daily yield on shares of the Money Market Portfolio may tend to be higher
than a like computation made by a fund with identical investments utilizing a
method of valuation based upon market prices and estimates of market prices for
all of its portfolio instruments. Thus, if the use of amortized cost resulted in
a lower aggregate portfolio value on a particular day, a prospective investor
would be able to obtain a somewhat higher yield than would result from
investment in a fund utilizing
22
<PAGE> 113
solely market values, and existing investors would receive less investment
income. The converse would apply in a period of rising interest rates.
Use of the amortized cost valuation method by the Money Market Portfolio
requires that Portfolio to maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90
days or less and to only purchase obligations having remaining maturities of 13
months or less. In addition, the Portfolio can invest only in obligations
determined by the Directors to present minimal credit risks. When an eligible
security (described in the Prospectus) goes into default or has its rating
downgraded thereby causing it to no longer be an eligible security, the
Directors must promptly reassess whether such security presents a minimal credit
risk and whether continuing to hold the security is in the Portfolio's best
interest. In addition, as to certain types of investments, the Portfolio may
only invest in obligations meeting the quality requirements spelled out in the
Prospectus. Furthermore, investments in the securities of any one issuer may not
exceed 5% of the Portfolio's total assets at the time of such purchase, nor may
investments in "second-tier securities" (eligible securities which are not rated
in the highest short term rating category by at least two nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations (NRSRO) or one NRSRO if it is the only NRSRO
rating that security or comparable unrated securities), exceed 5% of the
Portfolio's total assets nor may investments in any one issuer exceed the
greater of 1% of the Portfolio's total assets or $1 million. The Directors have
established procedures designed to stabilize, to the extent reasonably possible,
the Money Market Portfolio's price per share as computed for the purpose of
sales and redemptions at $1.00. Such procedures include review of that
Portfolio's investment holdings by the Directors, at such intervals as they may
deem appropriate, to determine whether the net asset value calculated by using
available market quotations or equivalents deviates from $1.00 per share. If
such deviation exceeds 1/2 of 1%, the Directors will promptly consider what
action, if any, will be initiated. In the event the Directors determine that a
deviation exists which may result in material dilution or other unfair results
to new or existing investors, the Directors will take such corrective action as
they regard as necessary and appropriate, including: the sale of Portfolio
instruments prior to maturity; the withholding of dividends or payment of
distributions from capital or capital gains; redemptions of shares in kind or
the establishment of a net asset value per share based upon available market
quotations.
The methods used to value other assets of each Portfolio are described more
fully in the Prospectus.
REDEMPTION OF SHARES
The Fund is required to redeem all full and fractional shares of the Fund for
cash at the net asset value per share. Payment for shares redeemed will
generally be made within seven days after receipt of a proper notice of
redemption. The right to redeem shares or to receive payment with respect to any
redemption may only be suspended for any period during which (a) trading on the
New York Stock Exchange is restricted or such exchange is closed for other than
weekends and holidays; (b) an emergency exists, as determined by the Securities
and Exchange Commission, as a result of which disposal of Portfolio securities
or determination of the net asset value of a Portfolio is not reasonably
practicable; and (c) the Securities and Exchange Commission by order permits
postponement for the protection of shareholders.
TAXES
Each Portfolio of the Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income
tax purposes. Each Portfolio intends to elect and to qualify as a "regulated
investment company" under the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). As a regulated investment company, each
Portfolio is required to distribute to its shareholders for each taxable year at
least 90% of its investment company taxable income (consisting generally of net
investment income, net short-term capital gain, and net gains from certain
foreign currency transactions). To qualify for treatment as a regulated
investment company, a Portfolio must, among other things, derive in each taxable
year at least 90% of its gross income
23
<PAGE> 114
from dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities loans and gains
from the sale or other disposition of stock or securities or foreign currencies
(subject to the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury to exclude foreign
currency gains which are ancillary to the Fund's principal business of investing
in stock or securities or options and futures with respect to such stock or
securities), other income (including, but not limited to, gains from options,
futures, or forward contracts) derived with respect to its investing in such
stock, securities or currencies. Moreover, at the close of each quarter of each
Portfolio's taxable year, at least 50% of the value of its total assets must be
represented by cash and cash items, U.S. Government securities, securities of
other regulated investment companies, and other securities that, with respect to
any one issuer, do not exceed 5% of the value of the Portfolio's total assets
and that do not represent more than 10% of the outstanding securities of the
issuer. In addition, at the close of each quarter of each Portfolio's taxable
year, not more than 25% of the value of its total assets may be invested in
securities (other than U.S. Government securities or the securities of other
regulated investment companies) of any one issuer. If each Portfolio qualifies
as a "regulated investment company" and complies with the relevant provisions of
the Code, each Portfolio will be relieved of federal income tax on the part of
its net ordinary income and realized net capital gain which it distributes to
the separate accounts. If a Portfolio fails to qualify as a regulated investment
company, the Portfolio will be subject to federal, and possibly state, corporate
taxes on its taxable income and gains and distributions to its shareholders will
constitute ordinary dividend income to the extent of such Portfolio's available
earnings and profits, and policyholders could be subject to current tax on
distributions received with respect to Portfolio shares.
Each Portfolio must, and intends to, comply with the diversification
requirements imposed by section 817(h) of the Code and the regulations
thereunder. These requirements, which are in addition to the diversification
requirements mentioned above, place certain limitations on the proportion of
each Portfolio's assets that may be represented by any single investment (which
includes all securities of the same issuer). For these purposes, each U.S.
Government agency or instrumentality is treated as a separate issuer, while a
particular foreign government and its agencies, instrumentalities, and political
subdivisions are all considered the same issuer. For information concerning the
consequences of failure to meet the requirements of section 817(h), see the
respective prospectuses for the policies or the contracts.
A Portfolio will not be subject to the 4% Federal excise tax imposed on
regulated investment companies that do not distribute substantially all their
income and gains each calendar year because the tax does not apply to a
regulated investment company whose only shareholders are segregated asset
accounts of life insurance companies held in connection with variable annuity
contracts and/or variable life insurance policies.
FOREIGN TAXES. Investment income received from sources within foreign countries
may be subject to foreign income taxes. In this regard, withholding tax rates in
countries with which the United States does not have a tax treaty are often as
high as 30% or more. The United States has entered into tax treaties with many
foreign countries which entitle certain investors (such as the International
Portfolio) to a reduced rate of tax (generally 10-15%) or to certain exemptions
from tax. The International Portfolio will operate so as to qualify for such
reduced tax rates or tax exemptions whenever possible. While policyholder will
bear the cost of any foreign tax withholding, they will not be able to claim a
foreign tax credit or deduction for taxes paid by the International Portfolio.
The discussion of "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes" in the Prospectus, in
conjunction with the foregoing, is a general and abbreviated summary of the
applicable provisions of the Code and Treasury Regulations currently in effect
as interpreted by the Courts and the Internal Revenue Service. For further
information, consult the prospectuses and/or statements of additional
information for the respective policies and contracts, as well as your own tax
adviser.

CAPITAL STOCK
The Fund was incorporated in Maryland on March 21, 1985. The authorized capital
stock of the Fund consists of 1.2 billion shares of common stock $.01 par value.
The shares of common stock are divided into eleven series -- Money Market
Portfolio, Growth Portfolio, Bond Portfolio, Managed Portfolio, Aggressive
Growth Portfolio, International Portfolio, Sentinel Growth Portfolio, All Pro
Large Cap Growth Portfolio, All Pro Large Cap Value Portfolio, All Pro Small Cap
Growth Portfolio and All Pro Small Cap Value Portfolio common stock. The Growth
Portfolio consists of 75 million shares, the Money Market Portfolio consists of
150 million shares and each of the All Pro Portfolios consists of 50 million
shares; each of the remaining series consists of five million shares. The Fund
may establish additional portfolios and may allocate its shares either to such
new classes or to any of the eleven existing classes.
The balance of the shares may be issued to the existing Portfolios or to new
Portfolios having the number of shares and descriptions, powers, and rights, and
the qualifications, limitations, and restrictions as the Board of Directors may
determine. The Board of Directors also may change the designation of any
Portfolio and may increase or decrease the numbers of shares of any Portfolio,
but may not decrease the number of shares of any Portfolio below the number of
shares then outstanding.
Each issued and outstanding share is entitled to participate equally in
dividends and distributions declared by the respective Portfolio and, upon
liquidation or dissolution, in the net assets of such Portfolio remaining after
satisfaction of outstanding liabilities.
VOTING RIGHTS
As an investment company incorporated in Maryland, the Fund is not required to
hold routine annual shareholders' meetings. Shareholders' meetings will be
called whenever one or more of the following is required to be acted on by
shareholders pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940: (1) election of
directors; (2) approval of an investment advisory agreement; (3) ratification of
selection of independent accountants; or (4) approval of an underwriting
agreement.
All shares of common stock have equal voting rights (regardless of the net value
per share) except that on matters affecting only one Portfolio, only shares of
the respective Portfolio are entitled to vote. The shares do not have cumulative
voting rights. Accordingly, the holders of more than 50% of the shares of the
Fund voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors of the
Fund if they choose to do so, and in such event the holders of the remaining
shares would not be able to elect any directors.
Matters in which the interests of all the Portfolios are substantially identical
(such as the election of directors or the approval of independent public
accountants) will be voted on by all shareholders without regard to the separate
Portfolios. Matters that affect all the Portfolios but where the interests of
the Portfolios are not substantially identical (such as approval of an
Investment Advisory Agreement) would be voted on separately by each Portfolio.
Matters affecting only one Portfolio, such as a change in its fundamental
policies, are voted on separately by that Portfolio.
Matters requiring separate shareholder voting by a Portfolio shall have been
effectively acted upon with respect to any Portfolio if a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of that Portfolio votes for approval of the
matter, notwithstanding that: (1) the matter has not been approved by a majority
of the outstanding voting securities of any other Portfolios; or (2) the matter
has not been approved by a 1940 Act majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Fund.
CODE OF ETHICS
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted a Code of Ethics under Rule 17j-1
of the 1940 Act (the "Code of Ethics"). The Code of Ethics covers the conduct
(including the personal securities transactions) of each officer and director of
the Fund, as well as of any employees of the Fund who participate in the
25
<PAGE> 116
selection of the Fund's Portfolio securities or who have access to information
regarding the Fund's pending purchases and sales of Portfolio securities
(collectively referred to as "Advisory Persons"). The Code of Ethics also covers
the general conduct and personal securities transactions of (but does not impose
securities transaction reporting requirements on) any officer, director, and
employee of either NAM, PIMC, SAC, TBC, the sub-advisers of the All Pro
Portfolios or 1717 Capital Management Company ("1717"), the principal
underwriter of the Fund, who participates in the selection of the Fund's
portfolio securities or who has access to information regarding the Fund's
pending purchases and sales of portfolio securities (also "Advisory Persons").
In general, the Code of Ethics restricts purchases or sales of securities being
purchased or sold or being considered for purchase or sale by the Fund by any of
the directors, officers, or employees of any of the Fund, the Advisers, or 1717.
Advisory Persons are also prohibited from purchasing securities in an initial
public offering and are also restricted in their purchases of private offerings
of securities. The Code of Ethics also describes certain "blackout periods"
during which: (1) no Advisory Person or no director, officer, or employee of the
Fund may acquire ownership of a security on a day during which the Fund has a
pending order to purchase or sell that same security; and (2) no person
responsible for day-to-day portfolio management of any Portfolio shall purchase
or sell any security within seven days before or after the Fund trades in such
security. Certain specified transactions are exempt from the provisions of the
Code of Ethics. Each of the sub-advisers for the All Pro Portfolios has adopted
a similar code of ethics under Rule 17j-1, which codes impose substantially
identical restrictions on Advisory Persons of the Fund.
OTHER SERVICES
CUSTODIAN, TRANSFER AGENT AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT
Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Fund, PFPC Trust Company, located at
200 Stevens Drive, Lester, Pennsylvania 19113, serves as custodian of the Fund's
assets. Pursuant to a transfer agency agreement with the Fund, PFPC, which is
located at 103 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington, Delaware 19809, serves as the
Fund's transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent.
CUSTODIAN FOR INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO
The custodian for all foreign securities and assets of the International
Portfolio is Citibank, N.A., located at 111 Wall Street, New York, NY 10043.
Securities purchased for the Portfolio outside of the U.S. are maintained in the
custody of foreign banks and trust companies which are members of Citibank's
Global Custody Network and foreign depositories (foreign sub-custodians).
Citibank and each of the foreign custodial institutions holding securities of
the Portfolio has been approved by the Board in accordance with regulations
under the 1940 Act.
The Board reviews, at least annually, whether it is in the best interest of the
Portfolio and its shareholders to maintain Portfolio assets in each custodial
institution. However, with respect to foreign sub-custodians, there can be no
assurance that the Portfolio and the value of its shares will not be adversely
affected by acts of foreign governments, financial or operational difficulties
of the foreign sub-custodians, difficulties and costs of obtaining jurisdiction
over, or enforcing judgments against, the foreign sub-custodians, or application
of foreign law to the Portfolio's foreign sub-custodian arrangements.
Accordingly, an investor should recognize that the noninvestment risks involved
in holding assets abroad may be greater than those associated with investing in
the U.S.

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Market Street Fund, Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets of the Growth, Money
Market, Bond, Managed, Aggressive Growth, International, Sentinel Growth, Large
Cap Growth, Large Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, and Small Cap Value Portfolios,
of Market Street Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") and the related statements of
operations, and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Growth, Money
Market, Bond, Managed, Aggressive Growth, International, Sentinel Growth, Large
Cap Growth, Large Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, and Small Cap Value Portfolios of
the Fund at December 31, 1998, the results of their operations, the changes in
their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities owned at December 31, 1998 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.

Market Street Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements, December 31, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION
The Market Street Fund, Inc. (Fund) is registered as an open-end diversified
management company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. As a
"series" type of mutual fund, the Fund issues separate classes (or series) of
stock currently consisting of the Growth Portfolio, Money Market Portfolio, Bond
Portfolio, Managed Portfolio, Aggressive Growth Portfolio, International
Portfolio, Sentinel Growth Portfolio, Large Cap Growth Portfolio, Large Cap
Value Portfolio, Small Cap Growth Portfolio, and Small Cap Value Portfolio. The
Fund serves as an investment medium for modified premium and flexible premium
adjustable variable life insurance policies and individual flexible premium
deferred variable annuity contracts (Policies) issued by Provident Mutual Life
Insurance Company (PMLIC) and for flexible premium deferred variable annuity
contracts issued by Providentmutual Life and Annuity Company of America (PLACA)
and policies issued by National Life Insurance Company of Vermont (NLICV). The
Fund also serves as the investment medium for single premium and scheduled
premium variable life insurance policies which are no longer being issued.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by each
Fund in preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Valuation of Investments
Bonds are carried at market value based on the last bid price on a national
securities exchange or on quoted prices from a third-party pricing service.
Investments in common and preferred stocks primarily traded on recognized U.S.
or foreign securities exchanges are valued at the close of regular trading on
the New York Stock Exchange, currently 4:00 p.m. New York time on the last
business day of the period, or, if there was no sale, at the last bid price on
that day. Short-term investments with maturities of less than 90 days and Money
Market Portfolio investments are valued at amortized cost which approximates
market value.
Investments
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The cost of
investment securities sold is determined by use of the specific identification
method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Interest income is
recorded on the accrual basis; dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date.
Dollar Rolls
The Bond and Managed Portfolios may enter into dollar rolls in which the
Portfolio sells securities for delivery and simultaneously contracts to
repurchase the same security at a fixed price on a specified future date. During
the roll period the Portfolio forgoes accrued interest paid on the securities.
The Portfolio will be compensated by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of
the initial sale (which are invested in short-term investments) and by the lower
repurchase price at the future date (the "drop"). The drop, which is recorded as
deferred income, is amortized over the period between the trade date and the
settlement date. All realized gains are recorded at the beginning of each roll.
A portfolio engages in dollar rolls for the purpose of enhancing its yield.
Dollar Rolls involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be
repurchased declines prior to settlement date, which risk is in addition to the
risk of decline in the value of a Portfolio's other assets. The balance of
dollar rolls outstanding at December 31, 1998 was $3,965,702 in the Bond
Portfolio and $9,312,628 in the Managed Portfolio.

Notes to Financial Statements, December 31, 1998 -- Continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Foreign Currency Translations
Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. Dollars on the following
bases:
(i) Market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities, at the
daily rate of exchange;
(ii) Purchases and sales of investment securities, at the rate of exchange
prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Exchange gains or
losses are recognized upon settlement;
(iii) Income and expenses, at the rate of exchange prevailing on the
respective dates of such transactions. Exchange gains or losses are
recognized upon ultimate receipt or disbursement.
Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations
and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated
transactions as a result of, among other factors, the lack of governmental
supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of
political or economic instability.
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations derived from
changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising
from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included
with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Dividends to Shareholders
Dividends of investment income of the Money Market Portfolio are declared daily
and paid monthly. The Growth Portfolio, Bond Portfolio, and Managed Portfolio
declare and pay dividends of investment income quarterly. The Aggressive Growth
Portfolio, International Portfolio, Sentinel Growth Portfolio, Large Cap Growth
Portfolio, Large Cap Value Portfolio, Small Cap Growth Portfolio, and Small Cap
Value Portfolio declare and pay dividends of investment income annually. For all
Portfolios, distributions of capital gains are declared and paid annually.
Federal Income Taxes
No provision is made for Federal taxes as it is the Fund's intention to have
each Portfolio continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and to make
the requisite distributions to its shareholders which will be sufficient to
relieve it from Federal income taxes.
3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

APPENDIX A
DESCRIPTION OF MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS AND
COMMERCIAL PAPER AND BOND RATINGS
PERMITTED INVESTMENTS OF THE MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES: These are obligations issued by or guaranteed as to
interest and principal by the government of the United States or any agency or
instrumentality thereof. They may include instruments that are supported by the
full faith and credit of the United States, such as Treasury Bills, Notes and
Bonds; instruments that are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from
the Treasury, such as Home Loan Bank securities; and securities that are
supported only by the credit of the instrumentality, such as Federal National
Mortgage Association bonds.
BANK OBLIGATIONS: These are obligations (including certificates of deposit, time
deposits, and bankers' acceptances) of: (1) domestic banks (including savings
banks) and foreign branches of domestic banks that are members of the Federal
Reserve System or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and have
total assets of at least $1 billion; (2) domestic banks and foreign branches
thereof and savings and loan associations that have less than $1 billion of
total assets where the principal amount of the obligation is insured in full by
the FDIC. No more than 10% of the Portfolio's assets may be invested in
obligations of institutions in category (2).
Certificates of Deposit generally are certificates issued against funds
deposited in a bank, are for a definite period of time, earn a specified rate of
return, and are normally negotiable. Variable rate certificates of deposit are
certificates of deposit on which the interest rate is periodically adjusted
prior to their stated maturity, usually at 30, 90 or 180 day intervals ("coupon
dates") based upon a specified market rate. As a result of these adjustments,
the interest rate on these obligations may be increased or decreased
periodically. Typically, dealers selling variable rate certificates of deposit
agree to repurchase such instruments, at the purchaser's option, at par on the
coupon dates. The dealers' obligations to repurchase these instruments are
subject to conditions imposed by the various dealers. Such conditions typically
are the continued credit standing of the issuer and the existence of reasonably
orderly market conditions. Variable rate certificates of deposit may be sold in
the secondary market. Variable rate certificates of deposit normally carry a
higher interest rate at the time of issue than comparable fixed rate
certificates of deposit.
Bankers' Acceptances are short-term credit instruments issued by corporations to
finance the import, export, transfer or storage of goods. They are termed
"accepted" when a bank guarantees their payment at maturity. These instruments
reflect the obligation of both the bank and drawer to pay the face amount of the
instrument at maturity.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: Repurchase agreements with (1) banks or (2) government
securities dealers recognized as primary dealers by the Federal Reserve System,
provided that:
(a) at the time the repurchase agreement is entered into, and throughout
the duration of the repurchase agreement, the collateral has a market value
at least equal to the value of the repurchase agreement;
(b) the collateral consists of government securities or instruments
rated in the highest rating category by at least two nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations; and
(c) the maturity of the repurchase agreement does not exceed 30 days.
COMMERCIAL PAPER: Commercial paper consists of unsecured promissory notes issued
by corporations to finance short-term credit needs.
A-1
<PAGE> 179
OTHER CORPORATE DEBT OBLIGATIONS: These are outstanding nonconvertible corporate
debt obligations that were not issued as short-term obligations but have
thirteen months or less remaining until maturity and which, at the date of
investment, are rated AA or better by S&P or Aa or better by Moody's.
The Money Market Portfolio will only invest in instruments denominated in U.S.
dollars that the Adviser, under the supervision of the board of directors of the
Fund, determines present minimal credit risks and are, at the time of
acquisition, either:
(1) rated in the two highest rating categories by at least two NRSROs,
or by only one NRSRO if only one NRSRO has issued a rating with respect to
the instrument; or
(2) in the case of an unrated instrument, determined by the Adviser
under the supervision of the board of directors to be of comparable quality
to the above; or
(3) issued by an issuer that has received a rating of the type described
in (1) above on other securities that are comparable in priority and
security to the instrument.
All of the Money Market Portfolio's money market instruments mature in 13 months
or less. The average maturity of the Portfolio's portfolio securities based on
their dollar value will not exceed 90 days at the time of each investment. If
the disposition of a portfolio security results in a dollar-weighted average
portfolio maturity in excess of 90 days, the Portfolio will invest its available
cash in such a manner as to reduce its dollar-weighted average portfolio
maturity to 90 days or less as soon as reasonably practicable.
COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS
The rating A-1 is the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's Corporation
("S&P") to commercial paper which is considered by S&P to have the following
characteristics: liquidity ratios of the issuer are adequate to meet cash
requirements; long-term senior debt is rated "A" or better; the issuer has
access to at least two additional channels of borrowing; basic earnings and cash
flow have an upward trend with allowance made for unusual circumstances;
typically, the issuer's industry is well established and the issuer has a strong
position within the industry; the reliability and quality of management are
unquestioned.
The rating A-2 is the second highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's
Corporation. Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is
strong. However, the relative degree of safety is not as overwhelming as for
issues designated "A-1".
The rating P-1 is the highest commercial paper rating assigned by Moody's
Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"). Issuers rated P-1 have a superior capacity
for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. P-1 repayment capacity will
normally be evidenced by the following characteristics; leading market positions
in well-established industries; high rates of return on funds employed;
conservative capitalization structures with moderate reliance on debt and ample
asset protection; broad margins in earnings coverage of fixed financial charges
and high internal cash generation; and well established access to a range of
financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.
The rating P-2 is the second highest commercial paper rating assigned by
Moody's. Issuers rated P-2 have a strong capacity for repayment of short-term
promissory obligations. This will normally be evidenced by many of the
characteristics cited above but to a lesser degree. Earnings trends and coverage
ratios, while sound, will be more subject to variation. Capitalization
characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more affected by external
conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.
CORPORATE BOND RATINGS
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. describes its five highest ratings for corporate
bonds as follows:
Aaa--Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry
the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as 'gilt
edge'. Interest payments are protected by a large or by
A-2
<PAGE> 180
an exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure. While the various
protective elements are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are
most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.
Aa--Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as high-grade
bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection
may not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements
may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make
the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.
A--Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are
to be considered as upper medium-grade obligations. Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which
suggest a susceptibility to impairment some time in the future.
Baa--Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as medium-grade obligations, i.e.,
they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and
principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective
elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great
length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in
fact have speculative characteristics as well.
Ba--Bonds which are rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements; their
future cannot be considered as well as assured. Often the protection of interest
and principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded
during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position
characterizes bonds in this class.
Standard & Poor's Corporation describes its ratings for corporate bonds as
follows:
AAA--This is the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's to a debt
obligation and indicates an extremely strong capacity to pay principal and
interest.
AA--Bonds rated AA also qualify as high-quality debt obligations. Capacity to
pay principal and interest is very strong, and in the majority of instances they
differ from AAA issues only in small degree.
A--Bonds rated A have a strong capacity to pay principal and interest, although
they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in
circumstances and economic conditions.
BBB--Bonds rated BBB are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
principal and interest. Whereas they normally exhibit protection parameters,
adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to
a weakened capacity to pay principal and interest for bonds in this category
than for bonds in the A category.
BB, B, CCC, C--Bonds rated BB, B, CCC, C are regarded, on balance, as
predominantly speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay
principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. BB indicates the
lowest degree of speculation and CC the highest degree of speculation. While
such debt will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these
are outweighted by large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse
conditions.
