    SUPPLEMENT DATED DECEMBER 30, 1999 TO PROSPECTUS DATED FEBRUARY 23, 1999
                INCORPORATING SUPPLEMENT DATED OCTOBER 27, 1999

1) Effective October 27, 1999, Wood, Struthers & Winthrop Management Corp.
changed its name to DLJ Asset Management Group, Inc. ('DLJAM'). In addition,
effective January 1, 2000, DLJ Investment Management Corp. will merge into
DLJAM. The purpose of this change is to create a more accurate perception in the
marketplace of the full range of asset management services offered by Donaldson,
Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc. All investment personnel will remain with the combined
entity, and none of the DLJ Winthrop Funds' portfolio managers will change as a
result of the merger.

2) For the period November 1, 1999 through October 31, 2000, the adviser of each
of the below referenced DLJ Winthrop Funds has undertaken in writing to reduce
its management fees and reimburse operating expenses in order to limit the Total
Fund Operating Expenses to the below referenced percentage of daily net assets.
After October 31, 2000, the adviser may, in its sole discretion, determine to
discontinue this practice with respect to any Fund.
