Supplement dated June 30, 2000 to Prospectus dated June 30, 2000
The following supplements the "Management of the Fund(s)" section in each Fund's
prospectus:
On March 11, 1999, Bankers Trust Company, each Fund's investment adviser,
announced that it had reached an agreement with the United States Attorney's
Office in the Southern District of New York to resolve an investigation
concerning inappropriate transfers of unclaimed funds and related record-keeping
problems that occurred between 1994 and early 1996. Bankers Trust pleaded guilty
to misstating entries in the bank's books and records and agreed to pay a $63.5
million fine to state and federal authorities. On July 26, 1999, the federal
criminal proceedings were concluded with Bankers Trust's formal sentencing. The
events leading up to the guilty pleas did not arise out of the investment
advisory or mutual fund management activities of Bankers Trust or its
affiliates.
As a result of the plea, absent an order from the SEC, Bankers Trust would not
be able to continue to provide investment advisory services to the Funds. The
SEC has granted a temporary order to permit Bankers Trust and its affiliates to
continue to provide investment advisory services to registered investment
companies. There is no assurance that the SEC will grant a permanent order.
