          1933 ACT REG. NO. 33-12
          1940 ACT FILE NO. 811-4401

          RULE 497(J) CERTIFICATION FOR DEFINITIVE PROSPECTUS AND STATEMENT OF
          ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN POST-EFFECTIVE AMENDMENTS NOS. 52
          AND 53 TO REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM N-1A

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     The Registrant has authorized us to certify to the Securities and Exchange
Commission, on its behalf, that the Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information that would have been filed pursuant to Rule 497(c) with respect to
Post-Effective Amendments Nos. 52 and 53 (the "Amendments") would not have
differed from the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information included in
such Amendments and, as permitted under Rule 497(j), the Registrant has elected
not to file a definitive Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information.

     For your information, the Amendments were filed for the purpose of
implementing a new Class of B Shares for the Registrant's Cash Reserve
Portfolio.  The Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information initially
were filed as parts of Post-Effective Amendment No. 52 to the Registrant's
Registration Statement on Form N-1A, which was filed on October 29, 1999
pursuant to Rule 485(a)(1).  The Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information were further amended in response to SEC staff comments with the
filing of Post-Effective Amendment No. 53 on December 10, 1999 pursuant to Rule
485(a)(1).  In response to the Registrant's written request for accelerated
effectiveness, the Commission declared these Amendments effective on December
15, 1999.

     If you have any questions or comments regarding this filing, please contact
me at (414) 277-5309.

                                   Very truly yours,

                                   QUARLES & BRADY LLP

                                   /s/ Fredrick G. Lautz
