At the Board of Directors meetings held on October -7-8, 1998, the following
investment policies were eliminated for the six-month period ending 12/31/98:
Pledge or mortgage its assets beyond 15% of total assets. If a Fund were ever to
do so, valuation of the pledged or mortgaged assets would be based on market
values. For purposes of this policy, collateral arrangements for margin deposits
on a futures contract are not deemed to be a pledge of assets.
Invest more than 5% of its total assets in securities whose issuer or grantor of
principal and interest has been in operation for less than three years.
The Fund will not invest more than 5% of its net assets in warrants.
Invest in voting securities, securities of investment companies or exploration
or development programs such as oil, gas or mineral leases.
