ADDITION TO PROXY STATEMENT
DATED APRIL 3, 2000
ON BEHALF OF THE IDEX AEGON TAX EXEMPT FUND
MAY 2, 2000
Proxy materials for the special meeting of shareholders of IDEX AEGON Tax Exempt
(to be held June 5, 2000) have already been distributed to you. This is a
REMINDER requesting your vote. We encourage you to complete your proxy card and
return it in the enclosed envelope. Act now to help the Fund avoid additional
expense! (If you have any questions regarding the proxy materials, please call
IDEX Customer Service at 1-888-233-4339.)

As the date of the Meeting approaches, certain shareholders of the Fund that
have not yet returned proxies may receive a call from a representative of the
Fund, seeking authorization to permit the representative to execute the
shareholder's proxy by telephonic instructions. Proxies that are obtained
telephonically during the solicitation process will be recorded in accordance
with the procedures set forth below. Management believes that these procedures
are reasonably designed to ensure the identity of the shareholder casting the
vote is accurately determined and that the voting instructions of the
shareholder are accurately reflected. Furthermore, Management of the Fund
believes that the telephonic voting procedures comply with applicable state law.
When the telephonic proxy is solicited by the Fund's representative, the
representative is required to ask the shareholder for the shareholder's full
name, address, social security or employer identification number, title (if the
person giving the proxy is authorized to act on behalf of an entity, such as a
corporation), the number of shares owned, and to confirm that the shareholder
has received the Proxy Statement in the mail.
If the information solicited agrees with the information provided to the
representative by the Fund, then the representative has the responsibility to
explain the process, read the proposals listed on the proxy card, and ask for
the shareholder's instructions on each proposal. The representative, although he
or she is permitted to answer questions about the solicitation process, is not
permitted to recommend to the shareholder how to vote, other than to read any
recommendations set forth in the Proxy Statement. The representative will record
the shareholder's instructions on the card. Within 72 hours, the Fund will send
the shareholder a letter or mailgram to confirm the shareholder's vote and ask
the shareholder to call the Fund immediately if the shareholder's instructions
are not correctly reflected on the confirmation.
If a shareholder wishes to participate in the Meeting, but does not wish to give
a proxy by telephone, such shareholder may still submit the proxy card
originally sent with the Proxy Statement or in the supplemental mailing, or
attend the Meeting in person. Any proxy given by a shareholder, whether in
writing or by telephone, is revocable. A shareholder may revoke the accompanying
proxy or proxy given telephonically at any time prior to its use by filing with
the Fund a written revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date. In
addition, any shareholder who attends the Meeting in person may vote by ballot
at the Meeting, thereby canceling any proxy previously given.
