Supplement to Prospectus dated August 1, 1999
1. Each State Limited Maturity Municipals Fund is now diversified, which means
that with respect to 75% of its total assets it may not invest more than 5%
of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer (except the U.S.
Government or its corresponding Portfolio).
2. Service fees will now be paid from the time of sale of Class A and Class B
shares. This will result in slightly higher Total Operating Expenses for
these classes than that shown in the "Annual Fund Operating Expenses" table
in each Fund Summary.
3. The following replaces "Distribution and Service Fees" under "Sales
Charges":
Distribution and Service Fees. Class B shares of the California, New Jersey
and Ohio Limited Maturity Municipals Funds and Class B and Class C shares
of the other Funds have in effect plans under Rule 12b-1 that allow each
Fund to pay distribution fees for the sale and distribution of shares
(so-called "12b-1 fees"). Class B and Class C shares pay distribution fees
of 0.75% of average daily net assets annually. Because these fees are paid
from Fund assets on an ongoing basis, they will increase your cost over
time and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges. All
Classes pay service fees for personal and/or account services equal to
0.15% of average daily net assets annually. Although there is no present
intention to do so, each Class could pay service fees of up to 0.25%
annually upon Trustee approval.
The distribution fees paid by Class B and Class C shares are subject to
termination when payments under the Rule 12b-1 plans are sufficient to
extinguish uncovered distribution charges. As described more fully in the
Statement of Additional Information, uncovered distribution charges of a
Class are increased by sales commissions payable by the Class to the
principal underwriter in connection with sales of shares of that Class and
by an interest factor tied to the U.S. Prime Rate. Uncovered distribution
charges are reduced by the distribution fees paid by the Class and by CDSCs
paid to the Fund by redeeming shareholders. The amount of the sales
commissions payable by Class B to the principal underwriter in connection
with sales of Class B shares is significantly less than the maximum
permitted by the sales charge rule of the National Association of
Securities Dealer, Inc. To date, neither Class B nor Class C uncovered
distribution charges have been fully covered.
