HIGHLIGHTS
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.
Investment Objectives and Management Policies
Each Fund's investment objective is set forth on page __ of
this Prospectus. The differences in objectives and policies among the Funds
determine the types of portfolio securities in which each Fund invests and can
be expected to affect each Fund's yield or rate of return and the degree of
risk to which each Fund is subject.
Investment Advisers
NBD and FCIMCO are the Investment Advisers to each of the
Funds. Each Fund has agreed to pay the Investment Advisers an annual fee as
set forth under "Management of the Funds."
Alternative Purchase Methods
Each Fund offers Class A shares, Class B shares and Class I
shares. Each share represents an identical pro rata interest in a Fund's
investment portfolio.
Class A shares are sold at net asset value per share plus an
initial sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. The initial sales charge
may be reduced or waived for certain purchases. Class A shares of each Fund
are subject to a shareholder servicing fee.
Class B shares are sold at net asset value per share with no
initial sales charge at the time of purchase; as a result, the entire purchase
price is immediately invested in the Fund. Class B shares may be subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") and are subject to a distribution
fee and shareholder servicing fee.
Class I shares are sold at net asset value with no sales charge
to qualified trust, custody and/or agency account clients of FNBC, NBD, ANB or
their affiliates and to certain qualified benefit plans or other programs.
See "How to Buy Shares" and "How to Redeem Shares."

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent (the "Transfer Agent").

FNBC, ANB and their affiliates, including First Chicago NBD Investment
Services, Inc. ("FNIS"), a registered broker-dealer, the Distributor and

investment advisers, accountants and estate planning firms (collectively,
"Service Agents").
Investors purchasing Class I shares through their Fiduciary
Accounts (as defined under "How to Buy Shares") at the Investment Advisers,
First Chicago NBD Corporation ("FCN"), FNBC, ANB or their affiliates should

THE AMOUNTS LISTED IN THE EXAMPLES SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS
REPRESENTATIVE OF FUTURE EXPENSES AND ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS
THAN THOSE INDICATED. THE MANAGED ASSETS GROWTH FUND IS NEW AND THE ABOVE
FIGURES ARE BASED ON ADJUSTMENTS AND EXPENSES EXPECTED TO BE INCURRED DURING
THE FUND'S CURRENT FISCAL YEAR. MOREOVER, WHILE EACH EXAMPLE ASSUMES A 5%
ANNUAL RETURN, A FUND'S ACTUAL PERFORMANCE MAY RESULT IN AN ACTUAL RETURN
GREATER OR LESS THAN 5%.
The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist investors in
understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor in a Fund will
bear, directly or indirectly, the payment of which will reduce investors'
return on an annual basis. Long-term investors in Class B shares of a Fund
could pay more in 12b-1 fees than the economic equivalent of paying a
front-end sales charge. The Investment Advisers, FNBC, ANB and their
affiliates and certain Service Agents may charge their clients fees which are
not reflected in the foregoing table in connection with an investment in the
Funds.

PEGASUS FUNDS
Asset Allocation Funds
These Funds will follow an asset allocation strategy by
investing in Equity Securities (as defined below), Debt Securities (as defined
below) and short-term obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government,
or its agencies or instrumentalities, "high quality" money market instruments
such as certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, time deposits,
repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, short-term obligations
issued by state and local governmental issuers which carry yields that are
competitive with those of other types of high quality money market
instruments, commercial paper, notes, other short-term obligations and
variable rate master demand notes of domestic and foreign issuers ("Cash
Equivalent Securities"). "High quality" money market instruments are money
market instruments which are rated at the time of purchase within the two
highest rating categories by a Rating Agency or which are unrated at such time
but are deemed by the Investment Advisers to be comparable in quality to
instruments that are so rated. Such investments may include obligations of
foreign banks and foreign branches of U.S. banks:
The Managed Assets Conservative Fund seeks to provide long-term
total return; capital appreciation is a secondary consideration.
The Managed Assets Balanced Fund seeks to achieve long-term
total return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income.
The Managed Assets Growth Fund seeks to achieve long-term total
return; current income is a secondary consideration.
Equity Funds
These Funds will invest principally in common stocks, preferred
stocks and convertible securities, including those in the form of depository
receipts, as well as warrants to purchase such securities (collectively,
"Equity Securities"):
The Equity Income Fund seeks to provide income; capital
appreciation and growth of earnings are secondary, but nonetheless important,
goals. In seeking to achieve its objective, this Fund will invest primarily in
income-producing Equity Securities of domestic issuers.
The Growth Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. In
seeking to achieve its objective, this Fund will invest primarily in equity
securities of domestic issuers believed by the Investment Advisers to have
above-average growth characteristics.
The Mid-Cap Opportunity Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital
appreciation. In seeking to achieve its objective, this Fund will invest
primarily in equity securities of companies with intermediate market
capitalizations.
The Small-Cap Opportunity Fund seeks long-term capital
appreciation. In seeking to achieve its objective, this Fund will invest
primarily in Equity Securities of companies with small capitalizations.
The Intrinsic Value Fund seeks to provide long-term capital
appreciation. In seeking to achieve its objective, this Fund will invest
primarily in equity securities believed by the Investment Advisers to
represent a value or potential worth which is not fully recognized by
prevailing market prices.
The Growth and Value Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital
growth, with income a secondary consideration. In seeking to achieve its
objective, this Fund will invest primarily in equity securities of larger
companies that are attractively priced relative to their growth potential.

<PAGE>
The Equity Index Fund seeks to provide an investment return
which substantially duplicates the price and yield performance of domestically
traded common stock in the aggregate, as represented by the Standard & Poor's
Composite Stock Price Index (the "S&P 500 Index").
The International Equity Fund seeks to achieve long-term
capital appreciation. In seeking to achieve its objective, this Fund will
invest primarily in equity securities of foreign issuers.
Bond Funds
These Funds will invest principally in a broad range of debt
securities ("Debt Securities"). Debt Securities in which the Bond Funds
normally invest include: (i) obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities; (ii) corporate, bank and
commercial obligations; (iii) securities issued or guaranteed by foreign
governments, their agencies or instrumentalities; (iv) securities issued by
supranational banks; (v) mortgage backed securities; (vi) securities
representing interests in pools of assets; and (vii) variable-rate bonds, zero
coupon bonds, debentures, and various types of demand instruments. Obligations
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities
may include mortgage backed securities, as well as "stripped securities" (both
interest-only and principal-only) and custodial receipts for Treasury
securities:
The Intermediate Bond Fund seeks to maximize total rate of
return while providing relative stability of principal by investing
predominately in intermediate-term Debt Securities. While the Fund may
purchase securities with maturities or average lives of up to 15 years, during
normal market conditions, its average portfolio maturity is expected to be
between 3 and 6 years.
The Bond Fund seeks to maximize total rate of return by
investing predominately in intermediate and long-term Debt Securities. During
normal market conditions, the Fund's average weighted portfolio maturity is
expected to be between 6 and 12 years.
The Short Bond Fund seeks to maximize total rate of return
while providing relative stability of principal. While the Fund may purchase
Debt Securities with maturities or average lives of up to 10 years, during
normal market conditions, its average weighted portfolio maturity will be
limited to a maximum of 3 years.
The Income Fund seeks to provide as high a level of current
income as is consistent with relative stability of principal. In seeking to
achieve its objective, this Fund will invest primarily in a portfolio of U.S.
dollar denominated investment grade Debt Securities of domestic and foreign
issuers which, under normal market conditions, will have a dollar-weighted
average maturity expected to range between 3 and 10 years.
The International Bond Fund seeks both long-term capital
appreciation and current income. In seeking to achieve its objective, the Fund
will invest primarily in investment grade Debt Securities of foreign issuers.
Municipal Bond Funds
These Funds will invest principally in obligations issued by or
on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the United States and the
District of Columbia and their respective political subdivisions, agencies
(including multi-state agencies), instrumentalities and authorities, the
interest from which is, in the opinion of bond counsel for the issuers, exempt
from regular federal income tax ("Municipal Obligations"):
The Municipal Bond Fund seeks to provide as high a level of
current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with relative
stability of principal. In seeking to achieve its objective, this Fund will
invest primarily in a portfolio of investment grade Municipal Obligations
without regard to maturity.
2
<PAGE>
The Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund seeks to provide as high a
level of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with
relative stability of principal. In seeking to achieve its objective, this
Fund will invest primarily in a portfolio of investment grade Municipal
Obligations which, under normal conditions, will have a dollar-weighted
average maturity expected to range between 3 and 10 years.
The Michigan Municipal Bond Fund seeks to provide as high a
level of current income exempt from federal, and to the extent possible, from
State of Michigan income taxes as is consistent with relative stability of
principal. In seeking to achieve its objective, this Fund will invest
primarily in a portfolio of investment grade debt obligations issued by the
State of Michigan, its political subdivisions, municipalities, corporations
and authorities, the interest on which is, in the opinion of bond counsel to
the issuers, exempt from federal and State of Michigan income taxes ("Michigan
Municipal Obligations") without regard to maturity.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNDS
General
The Trust is an open-end management investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act"). The Trust currently consists of twenty-six investment portfolios, each
of which consists of a separate pool of assets with separate investment
objectives and policies. This prospectus, however, contains only nineteen
portfolios. Under the 1940 Act, each Fund is classified as a diversified
investment portfolio (the "Diversified Funds") except for the International
Equity, International Bond, Municipal Bond, Intermediate Municipal Bond and
Michigan Municipal Bond Funds (the "Non-Diversified Funds"), which are each
classified as a non-diversified portfolio.
Investment Objectives and Policies
Each Fund's investment objective is set forth on page __ of
this Prospectus. The investment objective of a Fund may not be changed without
approval of the holders of a majority (as defined in the 1940 Act) of such
Fund's outstanding voting securities. See "General Information." Except as
noted below under "Investment Limitations," a Fund's investment policies may
be changed without a vote of shareholders. There can be no assurance that a
Fund will achieve its objective.
The following section should be read in conjunction with
"Certain Portfolio Securities" in the Appendix.
Asset Allocation Funds
Each Asset Allocation Fund follows an asset allocation strategy
by investing in Equity Securities, Debt Securities and Cash Equivalent
Securities of domestic and foreign issuers. For each Asset Allocation Fund,
the asset classes, market sectors, securities and portfolio strategies
selected will be those that the Investment Advisers believe prudent and offer
the greatest potential for achieving the relevant Asset Allocation Fund's
investment objective. The Investment Advisers have broad latitude in selecting
investments and portfolio strategies. See "Risk Factors-Foreign Securities"
below.
The equity portion of each of the Asset Allocation Fund's
investments will be invested primarily in publicly traded stocks of companies
incorporated in the United States, although up to 25% of its total assets may
be invested in the Equity Securities of foreign issuers, either directly or
through Depository Receipts.
The Asset Allocation Funds invest the fixed income portion of
their portfolios of investments in a broad range of Debt Securities rated
"investment grade" or higher at the time of purchase, (i.e., no lower than Baa
by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or BBB by Standard & Poor's
Ratings Group ("S&P"), Fitch Investors Service, L.P. ("Fitch") or Duff &
Phelps Credit Rating Co. ("Duff") (each a "Rating Agency")) or unrated
investments deemed by the Investment Advisers to be comparable in quality at
the time of purchase to instruments that are so rated. Most Debt Securities
acquired by an Asset Allocation Fund will be issued by companies or
governmental entities located within the United States. Up to 15% of the total
assets of a Fund may, however, be invested in dollar-denominated debt
obligations (including Cash Equivalent Securities) of foreign issuers,
including, as described by this Prospectus and to the extent permitted under
applicable law, shares of investment companies which invest primarily in
securities of foreign issuers.
An Asset Allocation Fund may also invest its cash balances in
securities issued by other investment companies. Under the 1940 Act, each
Fund's investment in such securities, subject to certain exceptions, currently
is limited to (i) 3% of the total voting stock of any one investment company,
(ii) 5% of
35
<PAGE>
the Fund's net assets with respect to any one investment company and (iii) 10%
of the Fund's net assets in the aggregate. As a shareholder of another
investment company, an Asset Allocation Fund would bear, along with other
shareholders, its pro rata portion of the other investment company's expenses,
including advisory fees. These expenses would be in addition to the advisory
and other expenses that an Asset Allocation Fund bears directly in connection
with its own operations.
The Asset Allocation Funds may also enter into futures
contracts and related options and utilize options as more fully described
below.
The following table sets forth for each Asset Allocation Fund
the asset classes, benchmark percentages and asset class strategy ranges
within which the Investment Advisers generally intend to manage the Fund's
assets:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

Debt
Securities &
Cash
Equivalent 45% to 25% to 5% to
Securities: 60% 75% 40% 55% 20% 35%
</TABLE>
Compliance with these percentage requirements may limit the
ability of a Fund to maximize total return. The actual percentage of assets
invested in Equity Securities, Debt Securities and Cash Equivalent Securities
will vary from time to time and may be outside the strategy range, depending
on the judgment of the Investment Advisers as to general market and economic
conditions, trends in yields, interest rates and changes in fiscal and
monetary developments. The Managed Assets Conservative Fund is deemed to be
more "conservative" than the Managed Assets Growth and Managed Assets Balanced
Funds because its benchmark and strategy have a heavier weighting in Debt
Securities and Cash Equivalent Securities and a lighter weighting in Equity
Securities related to the other Asset Allocation Funds.
Each Asset Allocation Fund also may engage in futures and
options transactions and other derivative instruments, such as interest rate
and equity index swaps and foreign exchange transactions, each of which
involves risk. Each Asset Allocation Fund may also lend its portfolio
securities. Each Asset Allocation Fund may also invest in foreign currency
transactions and options on foreign currency transactions and may invest in
currency futures and options on currency futures for investment or hedging
purposes. See "Risk Factors" below and "Supplemental Information - Certain
Portfolio Securities."
Equity Funds
The Equity Income, Growth, Mid-Cap Opportunity, Small-Cap
Opportunity, Intrinsic Value, Growth and Value and Equity Index Funds invest
primarily in publicly traded common stocks of companies incorporated in the
United States, although each such Fund may also invest up to 25% of its total
assets in the securities of foreign issuers, either directly or through
Depository Receipts. The International Equity Fund invests primarily in Equity
Securities of foreign issuers, either directly or through Depository Receipts
and
36
<PAGE>
similar securities which may be sponsored or unsponsored. See "Risk
Factors-Foreign Securities" below. In addition, each Equity Fund may invest in
securities convertible into common stock, such as certain bonds and preferred
stocks, and may invest up to 5% of their respective net assets in other types
of securities having common stock characteristics (such as rights and warrants
to purchase equity securities). The Equity Funds may also enter into futures
contracts and related options and may utilize options and other derivative
instruments such as equity index swaps, each of which involves risk. Each
Equity Fund may also lend its portfolio securities. In addition, the
International Equity Fund may invest in foreign currency and options on
foreign currency transactions. Under normal market conditions, each Fund
expects to invest at least 65% of the value of its total assets in Equity
Securities. Each Equity Fund may hold up to 35% of its total assets in
investment grade Debt Securities and Cash Equivalent Securities and, in the
case of the International Equity Fund, debt securities of foreign issuers,
foreign governments and agencies.
The Equity Income Fund will invest primarily in
income-producing Equity Securities of domestic issuers. The Investment
Advisers will be particularly alert to companies which pay above-average
dividends, yet offer opportunities for capital appreciation and growth of
earnings. In addition, the Fund may invest up to 35% of the value of its net
assets in convertible securities that generally have features similar to both
common stocks and bonds and offer the potential for current income and capital
appreciation over time.
The Growth Fund will invest primarily in Equity Securities of
domestic issuers believed by the Investment Advisers to have above-average
growth characteristics. The Investment Advisers may consider some of the
following factors in making their investment decisions: the development of new
or improved products or services, a favorable outlook for growth in the
industry, patterns of increasing sales and earnings, the probability of
increased operating efficiencies, cyclical conditions, or other signs that the
company is expected to show greater than average earnings growth and capital
appreciation.
The Mid-Cap Opportunity Fund invests in Equity Securities of
companies with market capitalizations of $500 million to $3 billion. The
Investment Advisers believe that there are many companies in this size range
that enjoy enhanced growth prospects, operate in more stable market niches,
and have greater ability to respond to new business opportunities, all of
which increase their likelihood of attaining superior levels of profitability
and investment returns. However, they may escape many investors' attention
because they are less well known than some larger companies. Shares of these
companies may also be more volatile than those of larger companies, so the
Fund can be expected to exhibit somewhat greater volatility than market
indices dominated by very large companies. The Investment Advisers will seek
to reduce the volatility and enhance the potential return of the Fund's
holdings by concentrating on companies which have demonstrated records of
superior profitability, maintain conservative balance sheets, and are, in
general, of above-average quality, although stocks of lesser quality may be
purchased by the Fund if the Investment Advisers believe they offer sufficient
opportunity for capital appreciation.
The Small-Cap Opportunity Fund invests in Equity Securities of
small domestic issuers with market capitalizations of $100 million to $1
billion. The Investment Advisers will consider some of the following factors
in making their investment decisions: high quality management, significant
equity ownership positions by management, a leading or dominant position in a
major product line, a sound financial position and a relatively high rate of
return on invested capital. The Fund also may invest in companies that offer
the possibility of accelerating earnings growth because of management changes,
new products or structural changes in industry or the economy.
The Intrinsic Value Fund invests primarily in Equity Securities
of companies believed by the Investment Advisers to represent a value or
potential worth which is not fully recognized by prevailing market prices. In
selecting investments for the Fund, screening techniques are employed to
isolate issues believed to be attractively priced. The Investment Advisers
then evaluate the underlying earning power and dividend paying ability of
these potential investments. The Fund's holdings are usually characterized by
lower price/earnings,
37
<PAGE>
price/cash flow and price/book value ratios and by above average current
dividend yields relative to the equity market. Companies purchased by the Fund
are often deemed by the Investment Advisers to be overlooked and out of favor
by the marketplace at the time of purchase. In general, the Fund's investments
are diversified among industry groups that meet the Fund's valuation criteria
to attempt to reduce certain of the risks inherent in common stock
investments.
The Growth and Value Fund invests primarily in Equity
Securities of companies believed by the Investment Advisers to represent a
value or potential worth which is not fully recognized by prevailing market
prices. The Investment Advisers believe that well managed, larger companies
historically have provided investors with attractive returns, high liquidity
and lower than average volatility. The Fund invests in companies which the
Investment Advisers believe have earnings growth expectations that exceed
those implied by the market's current valuation. In addition, the Fund seeks
to maintain a portfolio of companies whose earnings will increase at a faster
rate than within the general equity market. The equity portion of the
portfolio generally will be constructed in a "bottom-up" manner. "Bottom-up"
refers to an analytical approach to securities selection which first focuses
on the company and company-related matters as contrasted to a "top-down"
analysis which first focuses on the industry or the economy. In the Investment
Advisers' opinion, this procedure may generally be expected to result in a
portfolio characterized by lower price/earnings ratios, above average growth
prospects and average market risk.
The Equity Index Fund uses the S&P 500 Index as a benchmark for
comparison because it represents roughly two-thirds of the market value of all
publicly traded common stocks in the United States, is well known to investors
and is a widely accepted measure of common stock investment returns. The Index
contains a representative sample of common stocks that trade on the New York
and American Stock Exchanges and also contains over-the-counter stocks that
are a part of the National Market System. The S&P 500 Index is constructed
using a "bottom-up" approach through identification of important industry
categories and allocation of a representative sample of stocks to these
categories.
The Fund seeks to achieve a 95% correlation coefficient between
its performance and that of the Index. Therefore, the Fund's price changes are
expected to closely match movements in the underlying Index. In addition, the
total return of the Fund is expected to substantially match that of the Index.
However, there is no assurance that the Fund's objective will be attained.
Deviations from the performance of the Index ("tracking error") may result
from shareholder purchases and redemptions of shares of the Fund that occur
daily, as well as from the expenses borne by the Fund. To the extent that a
cash reserve is held to meet expected redemptions or pending investment in
securities, to the extent that securities must be sold to meet redemption
requests, and to the extent that purchases and sales are made to conform the
Fund's holdings more closely with that of the Index in response to cash
inflows or outflows and associated brokerage costs are incurred, these daily
inflows or outflows of cash may increase the Fund's tracking error. In
addition, tracking error may occur due to changes made in the S&P 500 Index
and the manner in which the Index is calculated by S&P among other factors. In
the event the performance of the Fund is not comparable to the performance of
the Index, the Board of Trustees will examine the reasons for the deviation
and the availability of corrective measures. These measures may include
adjustments to the Investment Advisers' portfolio management practices. If
substantial deviation in the Fund's performance were to continue for extended
periods, it is expected that the Board of Trustees would consider possible
changes to the Fund's investment objective.
The Fund will not be managed by using traditional economic,
financial or market analysis. Instead, the Fund utilizes a sampling
methodology to determine which stocks to purchase or sell in order to closely
replicate the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Stocks are selected for the
Fund based on both capitalization weighing in the Index and industry
representation. Larger market capitalization securities in the Index are added
to the Fund according to their relative weight. Smaller capitalization
securities are then added to the Fund in equal weights according to an
analysis of the industry diversification of the Index. Therefore, while all
industry weights in the Fund are essentially matched to those of the S&P 500
Index, not necessarily all
38
<PAGE>
500 stocks are held in the Fund. The Investment Advisers believe that a
sampling methodology allows the Fund to maintain a close correlation to the
performance of the S&P 500 Index while at the same time controlling the
portfolio turnover and transaction costs of the Fund.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests substantially
all of its total assets in the common stocks that comprise the Index in
accordance with their relative capitalization and sector weightings as
described above. It is possible, that if an issuer drops in ranking, or is
eliminated entirely from the Index, the Investment Advisers may be required to
sell some or all of the common stock of such issuer then held by the Fund.
Sales of portfolio securities may be made at times when, if the Investment
Advisers were not required to effect purchases and sales of portfolio
securities in accordance with the Index, such securities might not be sold.
Such sales may result in lower prices for such securities than may have been
realized or in losses that may not have been incurred if the Investment
Advisers were not required to effect the purchases and sales. The failure of
an issuer to declare or pay dividends, the institution against an issuer of
materially adverse legal proceedings, the existence or threat of defaults
materially and adversely affecting an issuer's future declaration and payment
of dividends, or the existence of other materially adverse credit factors will
not necessarily be the basis for the disposition of portfolio securities,
unless such event causes the issuer to be eliminated entirely from the Index.
The Fund may receive from time to time as part of a "spin-off" or corporate
restructuring of an issuer included in the Index, securities that are
themselves outside of the Index. Such securities will be disposed of by the
Fund in due course consistent with the Fund's investment objective. In
addition, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in the securities of
foreign issuers through Depository Receipts. An investment in the Fund
involves risks similar to those of investing in common stocks.
Pending investment and to meet anticipated redemption requests,
the Fund may hold up to 5% of its total assets in short-term obligations
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, or its agencies or
instrumentalities, money market instruments, repurchase agreements and cash.
In addition, up to 5% of the Fund's total assets may be invested in futures
contracts and related options in an effort to maintain exposure to price
movements in the Index pending investment of funds or while maintaining
liquidity to meet potential shareholder redemptions.
The International Equity Fund will invest primarily in Equity
Securities of foreign issuers located in but not limited to the United Kingdom
and European continent, Japan, other Far East areas and Latin America. The
Fund may also invest in other regions seeking to capitalize on investment
opportunities in other parts of the world.
The Investment Advisers' investment approach to managing the
Fund's assets emphasizes active country selection involving global economic
and political assessments together with valuation analysis of selected
countries' securities markets. This country allocation approach is based on
absolute/relative valuations, changing fundamentals and expected total returns
including currency. In situations where an investment's attractiveness
outweighs prospects for currency weakness, the Investment Advisers may take
suitable hedging measures. An index approach is typically used at the stock
selection level.
The Investment Advisers employ quantitative techniques in
conjunction with its judgment and experience to determine the foreign equity
markets that the Fund will be invested in and the percentage of total assets
the Fund will hold by country. This investment approach focuses on economic
developments in foreign countries, fundamental analysis at the country level
and the political environment. After the country weightings have been
determined, investments are typically made in country "baskets" of equity
securities. A country "basket" is comprised of equity securities of a
particular country and is constructed using a quantitatively-oriented
sampling technique to replicate the performance of an individual country's
stock market index. The Morgan Stanley Capital International Country Indexes
have, for some time, been the accepted benchmarks in the U.S. for
international equity fund country comparisons. The Fund may also invest in
individual Equity Securities which the Investment Advisers believe offer
opportunity for capital appreciation.
39
<PAGE>
The Fund's assets will be invested at all times in the
securities of issuers located in at least three different foreign countries.
Investments in a particular country may exceed 25% of the Fund's total assets,
thus making its performance more dependent upon the political and economic
circumstances of a particular country than a more widely diversified
portfolio.
Bond Funds
Each of the Bond Funds will invest at least 65% of the value of
its total assets under normal market conditions in Debt Securities. When the
Investment Advisers believe it advisable for temporary defensive purposes or
in anticipation of otherwise investing cash positions, each Bond Fund may
invest in Cash Equivalent Securities. In addition, each Bond Fund may invest
in custodial receipts for Treasury securities and in "stripped securities"
(both interest-only and principal-only). Most obligations acquired by the
Funds will be issued by companies or governmental entities located within the
United States. Up to 15% of the total assets of the Income Fund may be
invested in dollar denominated debt obligations (including Cash Equivalent
Securities) of foreign issuers. The International Bond Fund has no such
limitation on investments in foreign issuers.
Each Bond Fund also may engage in futures and options
transactions and other derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps and
forward contracts, and the International Bond Fund may engage in foreign
exchange transactions, each of which involves risk. Each Bond Fund may also
lend its portfolio securities. See "Risk Factors" below and "Supplemental
Information - Certain Portfolio Securities."
The Debt Securities in which the Income Fund may invest will be
rated investment grade, or if unrated, will be deemed by the Investment
Advisers to be comparable in quality at the time of purchase to instruments
that are so rated. By so restricting its investments, the Fund's ability to
maximize total rate of return will be limited. Under normal market conditions,
at least 65% of the value of the International Bond Fund's total assets will
consist of Debt Securities rated A or better by Moody's, S&P, Fitch or Duff.
The remainder of the International Bond Fund's assets may be invested in Debt
Securities rated no lower than B by Moody's, S&P, Fitch and Duff. The Fund
also may invest in Debt Securities which, while not rated, are determined by
the Investment Advisers to be of comparable quality to those rated securities
in which the Fund may invest. Obligations rated in the lowest of the top four
rating categories (Baa by Moody's or BBB by S&P, Fitch, Duff or IBCA) are
considered to have less capacity to pay interest and repay principal and have
certain speculative characteristics. See "Risk Factors--Lower Rated
Securities" below.
The Investment Advisers manage the Bond Funds based on
anticipated interest rate changes and the use of active management strategies
which may include sector rotation, intra-sector adjustments and yield curve
and convexity considerations. Sector rotation involves the Investment Advisers
selecting among different economic or industry sectors based upon apparent or
relative attractiveness. Thus at times a sector offers yield advantages
relative to other sectors. An intra-sector adjustment occurs when the
Investment Advisers determine to select a particular issue within a sector.
Yield curve considerations involve the Investment Advisers attempting to
compare the relationship between time to maturity and yield to maturity in
order to identify the relative value in the relationship. Convexity
considerations consist of the Investment Advisers seeking securities that rise
in price more quickly, or decline in price less quickly, than the typical
security of that price risk level and therefore enable the Investment Advisers
to obtain an additional return when interest rates change dramatically.
In acquiring particular Debt Securities, the Investment
Advisers may consider, among other things, historical yield relationships
between private and governmental debt securities, intermarket yield
relationships among various industry sectors, current economic cycles and the
attractiveness and creditworthiness of particular issuers. Depending upon the
Investment Advisers' analysis of these and other factors, a Fund's holdings of
issues in particular industry sectors may be overweighted or underweighted
when compared to the relative industry weightings in recognized indices. The
value of the Funds can be expected to vary inversely with changes in
prevailing interest rates.

The Intermediate Bond Fund invests in a portfolio of U.S.
dollar denominated Debt Securities of domestic and foreign issuers which,
under normal market conditions, will have maturities or average lives of up to
15 years. The Fund's average weighted portfolio maturity is expected to be
between 3 and 6 years.
The Bond Fund invests in a portfolio of U.S. dollar denominated
Debt Securities of domestic and foreign issuers. The Fund's average weighted
portfolio maturity is expected to be between 6 and 12 years.
The Short Bond Fund invests in a portfolio of U.S. dollar
denominated Debt Securities of domestic and foreign issuers which, under
normal market conditions, will have maturities or average lives of up to 10
years. The Fund's average weighted portfolio maturity will be limited to a
maximum of 3 years.
The Income Fund invests in a portfolio of U.S. dollar
denominated Debt Securities of domestic and foreign issuers which, under
normal market conditions, will have a dollar-weighted average maturity
expected to range between 3 and 10 years.
The International Bond Fund will invest in Debt Securities of
issuers located throughout the world, except the United States. The Fund also
may invest in convertible preferred stocks. The Fund may hold foreign
currency, and may purchase debt securities or hold currencies in combination
with forward currency exchange contracts. The Fund will be alert to
opportunities to profit from fluctuations in currency exchange rates. The Fund
will be particularly alert to favorable arbitrage opportunities (such as those
resulting from favorable interest rate differentials) arising from the
relative yields of the various types of securities in which the Fund may
invest and market conditions generally. The Fund may invest without
restriction in companies in, or governments of, developing countries.
Developing countries have economic structures that are generally less diverse
and mature, and political systems that are less stable, than those of
developed countries. The markets of developing countries may be more volatile
than the markets of more mature economies; however, such markets may provide
higher rates of return to investors. See "Risk Factors-Foreign Securities"
below.
Municipal Bond Fund
It is a fundamental policy of each of the Municipal Bond Funds
to invest (except when maintaining a temporary defensive position) at least
80% of the value of its net assets in Municipal Obligations. From time to
time, a Municipal Bond Fund may invest in an amount not to exceed 20% of the
value of its net assets, or without limitation for temporary defensive
purposes, in taxable Cash Equivalent Securities. Dividends paid by a Municipal
Bond Fund that are attributable to income earned by it from these securities
will be taxable to investors. See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."
Municipal Obligations in which the Municipal Bond Funds invest
will be rated at least Baa, MIG-2/VMIG-2 or Prime 2 (P-2) by Moody's, BBB,
SP-2 or A-2 by S&P, BBB or F-2 by Fitch or BBB or Duff-2 by Duff or, if
unrated, determined by the Investment Advisers to be comparable in quality to
instruments that are so rated. The Municipal Bond Funds also may engage in
futures and options transactions and other derivative instruments
transactions, such as interest rate swaps, each of which involves risk. The
Municipal Bond Funds are also permitted to lend their portfolio securities.
See "Risk Factors" below and "Certain Portfolio Securities" in the Appendix.
The Municipal Bond Fund invests in a portfolio of investment
grade Municipal Obligations without regard to maturity.
The Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund invests in a portfolio of
investment grade Municipal Obligations which, under normal market conditions,
will have a dollar-weighted average maturity expected to range between 3 and
10 years.
41
<PAGE>
The Michigan Municipal Bond Fund invests at least 65% of its
total assets under normal market conditions in investment grade Michigan
Municipal Obligations and the remainder may be invested in securities that are
not Michigan Municipal Obligations and therefore may be subject to Michigan
income taxes. (See "Taxes"). The Fund will invest in Michigan Municipal
Obligations and other securities without regard to maturity.
To the extent that acceptable Michigan Municipal Obligations
are at any time unavailable for investment by the Fund, the Fund will invest
primarily in other Municipal Obligations the interest on which is, in the
opinion of bond counsel, exempt from federal, but not Michigan income taxes.
Special Risk Considerations Applicable to the Michigan
Municipal Bond Fund
The Michigan Municipal Bond Fund will under normal market
conditions consist of Michigan Municipal Obligations to the extent of 65% or
more of its total assets. This concentration in securities issued by
governmental units of only one state exposes the Fund to risk of loss greater
than that of a more diversified portfolio holding securities issued by
governmental units of different states and different regions of the country.
Moreover, the economy of the State of Michigan is heavily
dependent upon the automobile manufacturing industry. This industry is highly
cyclical. This factor affects the revenue streams of the State of Michigan and
its political subdivisions because it impacts on tax sources, particularly
sales taxes, income taxes and Michigan single business taxes.
A state economy during a recessionary cycle would also, as a
separate matter, adversely affect the capacity of users of facilities
constructed or acquired through the proceeds of private activity bonds or
other "revenue" securities to make periodic payments for the use of those
facilities.
The heavy concentration of the Michigan Municipal Bond Fund in
Michigan Municipal Obligations and the cyclical nature of the economy of the
State of Michigan may adversely affect the liquidity of the Fund.
In 1993 and 1994, Michigan adopted complex statutory and
constitutional changes which, among several other changes in tax methods and
rates, have the effect of imposing limits on annual assessment increases and
of transferring a significant part of the operating cost of public education
from locally based property tax sources to state based sources, including
increased sales tax. These changes will affect state and local revenues of
Michigan governmental units in future years in differing ways, not all of
which can be presently known with certainty.
Investment Limitations
Each Fund is subject to a number of investment limitations.
Except as noted, the following investment limitations are matters of
fundamental policy and may not be changed with respect to a particular Fund
without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Fund's
outstanding shares. Other investment limitations that cannot be changed
without a vote of shareholders are contained in the Statement of Additional
Information under "Investment Objectives, Policies and Risk Factors."
Each Fund may not:
1. Purchase any securities which would cause 25% or more of the
value of a Fund's total assets at the time of purchase to be invested in the
securities of one or more issuers conducting their principal business
activities in the same industry, provided that (a) there is no limitation with
respect to
42
<PAGE>
obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, any state, territory
or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia or any of their
authorities, agencies, instrumentalities or political subdivisions and
repurchase agreements secured by such instruments, (b) wholly-owned finance
companies will be considered to be in the industries of their parents if their
activities are primarily related to financing the activities of the parents,
(c) utilities will be divided according to their services, for example, gas,
gas transmission, electric and gas, electric and telephone will each be
considered a separate industry, and (d) personal credit and business credit
businesses will be considered separate industries.
2. Make loans, except that each Fund may purchase and hold debt
instruments and enter into repurchase agreements in accordance with its
investment objective and policies and may lend portfolio securities in an
amount not exceeding one-third of its total assets.
3. Borrow money, issue senior securities or mortgage, pledge or
hypothecate its assets except to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act.
The Diversified Funds may not purchase securities of any one
issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its
agencies or instrumentalities) if, immediately after such purchase, more than
5% of the value of a Fund's total assets would be invested in the securities
of such issuer, or more than 10% of the issuer's outstanding voting securities
would be owned by a Fund, except that up to 25% of the value of a Fund's total
assets may be invested without regard to these limitations.
As a nonfundamental policy, for purposes of the Funds'
investments in borrowing, the 1940 Act currently permits borrowing up to 33
1/3% of the value of a Fund's total assets. No Fund intends to purchase
securities while its borrowings (including reverse repurchase agreements) in
excess of 5% of its assets are outstanding. Securities held in escrow or
separate accounts in connection with its investment practices are not deemed
to be pledging for purposes of a Fund's limitation on borrowing.
Generally, if a percentage limitation is satisfied at the time
of investment, a later increase or decrease in such percentage resulting from
a change in the value of a Fund's portfolio securities will not constitute a
violation of such limitation for purposes of the 1940 Act.
In order to permit the sale of a Fund's shares in certain
states, the Funds may make commitments more restrictive than the investment
policies and limitations described above. Should a Fund determine that any
such commitment is no longer in the best interests of the Fund, it will revoke
the commitment by terminating sales of its shares in the state involved.
Risk Factors
General
Since each Fund can pursue different types of investments, the
risks of investing will vary depending on the Fund selected for investment.
Before selecting a Fund in which to invest, the investor should assess the
risks associated with the types of investments made by the Fund. The net asset
value per share of each Fund is not fixed and should be expected to fluctuate.
Investors should consider each Fund as a supplement to an overall investment
program and should invest only if they are willing to undertake the risks
involved. See also Supplemental Information beginning on page A-1 for further
discussion of certain considerations.
Each Fund may engage in various investment techniques to the
extent described herein. The use of investment techniques such as engaging in
financial futures and options transactions, purchasing securities on a forward
commitment basis, and lending portfolio securities involves greater risk than
that incurred by many other funds with similar objectives that do not engage
in such techniques. See "Supplemental Information."
43
<PAGE>
Futures and options transactions involve the use of derivative instruments.
Using these techniques may produce higher than normal portfolio turnover and
may affect the degree to which a Fund's net asset value fluctuates. Higher
portfolio turnover rates are likely to result in comparatively greater
brokerage commissions or transaction costs. In addition, short-term gains
realized from portfolio transactions are taxable to shareholders as ordinary
gains.
Equity Securities
(Asset Allocation and Equity Funds only) Investors should be
aware that Equity Securities fluctuate in value, often based on factors
unrelated to the value of the issuer of the securities, and that fluctuations
can be pronounced. Changes in the value of a Fund's portfolio securities will
result in changes in the value of such Fund's shares and thus the Fund's yield
and total return to investors.
The securities of the smaller companies may be subject to more
abrupt or erratic market movements than larger, more established companies,
both because the securities typically are traded in lower volume and because
the issuers typically are subject to a greater degree to changes in earnings
and prospects.
Debt Securities
(All Funds) Investors should be aware that even though
interest-bearing securities are investments which promise a stable stream of
income, the prices of such securities generally are inversely affected by
changes in interest rates and, therefore, are subject to the risk of market
price fluctuations. The values of Debt Securities also may be affected by
changes in the credit rating or financial condition of the issuing entities.
Certain securities that may be purchased by these Funds, such as those rated
Baa by Moody's and BBB by S&P, Fitch and Duff, may be subject to such risk
with respect to the issuing entity and to greater market fluctuations than
certain lower yielding, higher rated Debt Securities. See "Lower Rated
Securities" below and "Supplemental Information-Certain Portfolio
Securities-Ratings" and the Appendix in the Statement of Additional
Information.
Municipal Obligations
(Asset Allocation, Bond and the Municipal Bond Funds only)
Investors should be aware that when a Fund's assets are concentrated in
obligations payable from revenues of similar projects or issued by issuers
located in the same state, or in industrial development bonds, it will be
subject to the particular risks (including legal and economic conditions)
relating to such securities to a greater extent than if its assets were not so
concentrated.
Payment on Municipal Obligations held by the Funds relating to
certain projects may be secured by mortgages or deeds of trust. In the event
of a default, enforcement of a mortgage or deed of trust will be subject to
statutory enforcement procedures and limitations on obtaining deficiency
judgments. Moreover, collection of the proceeds from that foreclosure may be
delayed and the amount of the proceeds received may not be enough to pay the
principal or accrued interest on the defaulted Municipal Obligations.
Lower Rated Securities
(International Bond Fund only) Investors should carefully
consider the relative risks of investing in the higher yielding (and,
therefore, higher risk) debt securities rated below investment grade by
Moody's, S&P, Fitch or Duff (commonly known as junk bonds). The International
Bond Fund may invest up to 35% of its net assets in debt securities rated as
low as B by Moody's, S&P, Fitch and Duff and unrated debt securities deemed by
the Investment Advisers to be comparable in quality at the time of purchase to
instruments that are so rated. The International Bond Fund intends to invest
less than 35% of the value of its net assets in such securities.
44
<PAGE>
The market price and yield of securities rated Baa or lower by
Moody's and BBB or lower by S&P, Fitch or Duff are more volatile than those of
higher rated securities and involve speculative characteristics. Factors
adversely affecting the market price and yield of these securities will
adversely affect the Fund's net asset value. In addition, the retail secondary
market for these securities may be less liquid than that of higher rated
securities; adverse conditions could make it difficult at times for the Fund
to sell certain securities or could result in lower prices than those used in
calculating such Fund's net asset value.
The market values of certain lower rated debt securities tend
to reflect specific developments with respect to the issuer to a greater
extent than do higher rated securities, which react primarily to fluctuations
in the general level of interest rates, and tend to be more sensitive to
economic conditions than are higher rated securities. Issuers of such debt
securities often are highly leveraged and may not have available to them more
traditional methods of financing. Therefore, the risk associated with
acquiring the securities of such issuers generally is greater than is the case
with higher rated securities.
Securities rated below investment grade generally are not meant
for short-term investing and may be subject to certain risks with respect to
the issuing entity and to greater market fluctuations than certain lower
yielding, higher rated Debt Securities. Securities rated BBB by S&P, Fitch or
Duff or Baa by Moody's are judged to have speculative elements; their future
cannot be considered as well assured and often the protection of interest and
principal payments may be very moderate and may face major ongoing
uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial or economic
conditions which could lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and
principal payments. Securities rated C by Moody's are regarded as having
extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing.
Securities rated D by S&P, Fitch and Duff are in default and the payment of
interest and/or repayment of principal is in arrears. Such securities, though
high yielding, are characterized by great risk. See the Appendix in the
Statement of Additional Information for a general description of securities
ratings.
The Investment Advisers will continually evaluate these
securities and the ability of the issuers of such securities to pay interest
and principal. The Fund's ability to achieve its investment objectives may be
more dependent on the Investment Advisers' credit analysis than might be the
case for a fund that invested in higher rated securities. See "Supplemental
Information-Certain Portfolio Securities-Ratings."
Foreign Securities
(Asset Allocation, Equity and Bond Funds) Foreign securities
markets generally are not as developed or efficient as those in the United
States. Investment in securities of foreign issuers, whether made directly or
indirectly, involve inherent risks, such as political or economic instability
of the issuer or the country of issue, the difficulty of predicting
international trade patterns, changes in exchange rates of foreign currencies,
the possibility of adverse changes in investment or exchange control
regulations, and may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of
comparable U.S. issuers. Similarly, volume and liquidity in most foreign
securities markets are less than in the United States and, at times,
volatility of price can be greater than in the United States. In addition,
there may be less publicly available information about a non-U.S. issuer, and
non-U.S. issuers generally are not subject to uniform accounting and
financial reporting standards, practices and requirements comparable to those
applicable to U.S. issuers. See "Supplemental Information-Certain Portfolio
Securities."
Foreign Currency Exchanges
(Asset Allocation Funds and the International Equity and
International Bond Funds only) Currency exchange rates may fluctuate
significantly over short periods of time. They generally are determined by the
forces of supply and demand in the foreign exchange markets and the relative
merits of investments in different countries, actual or perceived changes in
interest rates and other complex factors, as seen from an international
perspective. Currency exchange rates also can be affected unpredictably by
intervention by U.S.
45
<PAGE>
or foreign governments or central banks, or the failure to intervene, or by
currency controls or political developments in the United States or abroad.
The foreign currency market offers less protection against
defaults in the forward trading of currencies than is available when trading
currencies on an exchange. Since a forward currency contract is not guaranteed
by an exchange or clearinghouse, a default on the contract would deprive the
Fund of unrealized profits or force such Fund to cover its commitments for
purchase or resale, if any, at the current market price.
Foreign Commodity Transactions
(Asset Allocation Funds and the International Equity and
International Bond Funds only) Unlike trading on domestic commodity exchanges,
trading on foreign commodity exchanges is not regulated by the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC") and may be subject to greater risks
than trading on domestic exchanges. For example, some foreign exchanges are
principal markets so that no common clearing facility exists and an investor
may look only to the broker for performance of the contract. In addition, any
profits that the Fund might realize in trading could be eliminated by adverse
changes in the exchange rate, or such Fund could incur losses as a result of
those changes. Transactions on foreign exchanges may include both commodities
which are traded on domestic exchanges and those which are not.
Mortgage-Related Securities
(Asset Allocation and Bond Funds only) No assurance can be
given as to the liquidity of the market for certain mortgage-backed
securities, such as collateralized mortgage obligations and stripped
mortgage-backed securities. Determination as to the liquidity of interest-only
and principal-only fixed mortgage-backed securities issued by the U.S.
Government or its agencies and instrumentalities will be made in accordance
with guidelines established by the Board. Mortgage-related securities may be
considered a derivative instrument. See "Certain Portfolio
Securities-Asset-Backed Securities" and "Illiquid Securities" in Supplemental
Information.
Risk Factors Associated with Derivative Instruments
Each Fund may purchase certain "derivative instruments."
Derivative instruments are instruments that derive value from the performance
of underlying assets, interest or currency exchange rates, or indices, and
include, but are not limited to, futures contracts, options, forward currency
contracts and structured debt obligations (including collateralized mortgage
obligations and other types of asset backed securities, "stripped" securities
and various floating rate instruments, including inverse floaters).
Derivative instruments present, to varying degrees, market risk
that the performance of the underlying assets, exchange rates or indices will
decline; credit risk that the dealer or other counterparty to the transaction
will fail to pay its obligations; volatility and leveraging risk that, if
interest or exchange rates change adversely, the value of the derivative
instrument will decline more than the assets, rates or indices on which it is
based; liquidity risk that a Fund will be unable to sell a derivative
instrument when it wants because of lack of market depth or market disruption;
pricing risk that the value of a derivative instrument (such as an option)
will not correlate exactly to the value of the underlying assets, rates or
indices on which it is based; and operations risk that loss will occur as a
result of inadequate systems and controls, human error or otherwise. Some
derivative instruments are more complex than others, and for those instruments
that have been developed recently, data are lacking regarding their actual
performance over complete market cycles.
The Investment Advisers will evaluate the risks presented by
the derivative instruments purchased by the Funds, and will determine, in
connection with their day-to-day management of the Funds, how they will be
used in furtherance of the Funds' investment objectives. It is possible,
however, that the Investment Advisers' evaluations will prove to be inaccurate
or incomplete and, even when accurate and
46
<PAGE>
complete, it is possible that the Funds will, because of the risks discussed
above, incur loss as a result of their investments in derivative instruments.
Other Investment Considerations
Investment decisions for each Fund are made independently from
those of the other investment companies or investment advisory accounts that
may be advised by the Investment Advisers. However, if such other investment
companies or managed accounts are prepared to invest in, or desire to dispose
of, securities in which a fund invests at the same time as the Fund, available
investments or opportunities for sales will be allocated equitably to each of
them. In some cases, this procedure may adversely affect the size of the
position obtained for or disposed of by a Fund or the price paid or received
by a Fund.
The classification of the Municipal Bond Funds and the
International Equity and International Bond Funds as "non-diversified"
investment companies means that the proportion of each Fund's assets that may
be invested in the securities of a single issuer is not limited by the 1940
Act. A "diversified" investment company is required by the 1940 Act generally,
with respect to 75% of its total assets, to invest not more than 5% of such
assets in the securities of a single issuer and to hold not more than 10% of
the voting securities of any single issuer. Each Non-Diversified Fund,
however, intends to conduct its operations so as to qualify as a "regulated
investment company" for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), which requires that, at the end of each quarter of its
taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the market value of its total assets be
invested in cash, U.S. Government securities, the securities of other
regulated investment companies and other securities, with such other
securities of any one issuer limited for the purposes of this calculation to
an amount not greater than 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets and 10%
of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer, and (ii) not more than
25% of the value of its total assets be invested in the securities of any one
issuer (other than U.S. Government securities or the securities of other
regulated investment companies). Since a relatively high percentage of the
Fund's assets may be invested in the securities of a limited number of
issuers, some of which may be within the same industry or economic sector, its
portfolio securities may be more susceptible to any single economic, political
or regulatory occurrence than the portfolio securities of a diversified
investment company.
HOW TO BUY SHARES
Alternative Purchase Options
This Prospectus offers investors three Classes of shares of
each Fund for investment, Class A, Class B and Class I shares, each of which
represents an identical pro rata interest in a Fund's investment portfolio.
Class A shares and Class B shares are offered to any investor. Orders for
purchases of Class I shares, however, may be placed only for certain eligible
investors as described below. An investor who is not eligible to purchase
Class I shares may choose either Class A or Class B shares based on which
class best suits the investor's needs, given the offering price, the length of
time the investor expects to hold the shares and any other relevant
circumstances.
Class A shares are sold at net asset value per share plus an
initial sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. The initial sales charge
may be reduced or waived for certain purchases. Class A shares of each Fund
are subject to a shareholder servicing fee. Class B shares are sold at net
asset value per share with no initial sales charge at the time of purchase; as
a result, the entire purchase price is immediately invested in the Fund. Class
B shares may be subject to a CDSC and are subject to a distribution fee and
shareholder servicing fee.
47
<PAGE>
Class A and Class B shares are offered to the general public
and may be purchased through a number of institutions, including NBD, FCIMCO,
FNBC, ANB and their affiliates, other Service Agents, and directly through the
Distributor.
Class I shares are sold at net asset value with no sales charge
and are sold exclusively to qualified trust, custody and/or agency account
clients of FNBC, NBD or their affiliates ("Fiduciary Accounts"), to qualified
retirement, profit sharing or other employee benefit plans with plan assets of
at least $100 million invested in shares of the Funds or other investment
companies or accounts advised by either NBD or FCIMCO ("Eligible Retirement
Plans"). Class I shares are not subject to an annual service fee or
distribution fee.
Class B shares will receive lower per share dividends and at
any given time the performance of Class B should be expected to be lower than
for shares of each other Class because of the higher expenses borne by Class
B. Similarly, Class A shares will receive lower per share dividends, and the
performance of Class A should be expected to be lower, than Class I shares
because of the higher expenses borne by Class A.
An investor who is not eligible to purchase Class I shares
should consider whether, during the anticipated life of the investor's
investment in the Fund, the accumulated distribution fee and CDSC on Class B
shares prior to conversion would be less than the initial sales charge, if
any, on Class A shares purchased at the same time, and to what extent, if any,
such differential would be off-set by the return of Class A. Additionally,
investors qualifying for reduced initial sales charges who expect to maintain
their investment for an extended period of time might consider purchasing
Class A shares because the accumulated continuing distribution fees on Class B
shares may exceed the initial sales charge on Class A shares during the life
of the investment.
Information Applicable To All Purchasers
When purchasing Fund shares, an investor must specify the Class
of shares being purchased. If no Class of shares is specified, Class A shares
will be purchased.
The minimum initial investment for each Class is $1,000.
However, for IRAs and other retirement plans, the minimum initial purchase is
$250. All subsequent investments must be at least $100. The initial investment
must be accompanied by the Account Application. The Investment Advisers and
Service Agents may impose initial or subsequent investment minimums which are
higher or lower than those specified above and may impose different minimums
for different types of accounts or purchase arrangements. The Funds reserve
the right to reject any purchase order.
If an order is received by the Transfer Agent by the close of
trading on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"), or at
the Early Closing Time (as defined below), on any Business Day (as defined
below), shares will be purchased at the public offering price determined as of
the close of trading on the floor of the Exchange (currently 4:00 p.m.,
Eastern time) on that day. Otherwise, shares will be purchased at the public
offering price determined as of the close of trading on the floor of the
Exchange on the next Business Day.
Federal regulations require that an investor provide a
certified Taxpayer Identification Number ("TIN") upon opening or reopening an
account. See the Statement of Additional Information for information
concerning this requirement. Failure to furnish a certified TIN to the Fund
could subject an investor to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue
Service (the "IRS").
Share certificates will not be issued. It is not recommended
that the Municipal Bond Funds be used as vehicles for Keogh, IRA or other
qualified retirement plans.
48
<PAGE>
Net Asset Value
As to each Fund, net asset value per share of each Class is
computed by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets represented by such
Class (i.e., the value of its assets less liabilities) by the total number of
shares of such Class outstanding.
Shares for each Fund are sold on a continuous basis at the
public offering price (i.e., net asset value plus the applicable sales load,
if any, set forth below). Net asset value per share of the Funds is determined
as of the close of trading on the floor of the Exchange (currently 4:00 p.m.,
New York time), on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business
(the "Business Days") except: (i) those holidays which the Exchange observes
(currently New Year's Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day); and (ii)
those business days on which the Exchange closes prior to the close of its
regular trading hours ("Early Closing Time") in which event the net asset
value of each Fund will be determined and its shares will be priced as of such
Early Closing Time.
Securities held by the Funds which are traded on only
over-the-counter markets and securities for which there were no transactions
are valued at the average of the current bid and asked prices. Debt Securities
held by the Funds are valued according to the broadest and most representative
market, which ordinarily will be the over-the-counter markets, whether in the
United States or in foreign countries. Such securities are valued at the
average of the current bid and asked prices. Securities for which accurate
market quotations are not readily available, and other assets are valued at
fair value by the Investment Advisers under the supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Securities may be valued on the basis of prices provided by
independent pricing services when the Investment Advisers believe such prices
reflect the fair market value of such securities. The prices provided by
pricing services take into account institutional size trading in similar
groups of securities and any developments related to specific securities. For
valuation purposes, the value of assets and liabilities expressed in foreign
currencies will be converted to U.S. dollars equivalent at the prevailing
market rate on the day of valuation. A Fund's open futures contracts will be
"marked-to-market."
Class A Shares
Class A shares are sold at net asset value per share plus a
maximum initial sales charge of 3.00% for the Equity Index, Short Bond,
Income, Intermediate Bond and Intermediate Municipal Bond Funds, 4.50% for
each of the other Bond Funds and 5.00% for the remaining Funds of the public
offering price imposed at the time of purchase. Class A shares of each Fund
are subject to an annual service fee at the rate of up to 0.25% of the value
of the average daily net assets of Class A. See "Distribution Plans and
Shareholder Services Plans." Class A shares held by investors who after
purchasing Class A shares establish a Fiduciary Account will convert to Class
I shares automatically upon depositing such shares into such Account, based on

With respect to purchases of $1,000,000 or more of Class A
shares or other purchases of Class A shares made at net asset value (as
described below) of each Fund made through Service Agents, the Distributor may
pay such Service Agents from its own funds a fee of 1.00% for each Fund for
the first $2 million of the amount invested, 0.80% of the next $1 million and
0.50% thereafter to compensate Service Agents for their distribution
assistance in connection with such purchases. In addition, at its expense, the
Distributor may provide additional compensation and promotional incentives to
dealers in connection with the sales of shares of the Funds. Such compensation
will include financial assistance to dealers in connection with conferences,
sales or training programs for their employees, seminars for the public,
advertising campaigns regarding one or more of the Funds, and/or other special
events sponsored by dealers. In some instances, this compensation will be made
available only to certain dealers whose representatives have sold a
significant amount of Shares. Compensation may also include payment for travel
expenses, including lodging, incurred in connection with trips taken by
invited registered representatives and members of their families to locations
within or outside of the United States for meetings or seminars of a business
nature. Compensation will also include the following types of non-cash
compensation offered through sales contests: (1) trips, including the
provision of travel arrangements and lodging at vacation resorts, (2) tickets
for entertainment events (such as concerts, cruises, and sporting events) and
(3) merchandise (such as clothing, trophies, clocks, and pens). Dealers may
not use sales of shares to qualify for this compensation to the extent such
may be prohibited by the laws of any self-regulatory agency, such as the NASD.
None of the aforementioned is paid for by the Funds or their respective
shareholders.
Full-time employees of NASD member firms which have entered
into an agreement with the Distributor pertaining to the sale of Fund shares
(or which otherwise have a brokerage-related or clearing arrangement with an
NASD member firm with respect to sales of Fund shares), their spouses and
minor children, and accounts opened by a bank, trust company or thrift
institution, acting as a fiduciary or custodian, for accounts other than
401(k) and other defined contribution or other retirement plan accounts, may
purchase Class A shares for themselves or itself, as the case may be, at net
asset value, provided that they have furnished the Distributor appropriate
notification of such status at the time of the investment and such other
information as it may request from time to time in order to verify eligibility
for this privilege. In, addition, Class A shares may be purchased at net asset
value for accounts registered under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act or Uniform
Transfers to Minors Act which are opened through FNIS and 401(k) and other
defined contribution or other retirement plan accounts for which FNBC or its
subsidiaries or affiliates has served as custodian or trustee since at least
June 1, 1995 or NBD or its subsidiaries or affiliates, other than FNBC or ANB,
has served as administrator or trustee since January 1, 1996. Class A shares
are also offered at net asset value to directors
51
<PAGE>
and full-time or part-time employees of FCN, or any of its affiliates and
subsidiaries, retired employees of FCN, or any of its affiliates and
subsidiaries, Board members of a fund advised by the Investment Advisers,
including members of the Funds' Board of Trustees, or the spouses, children,
grandchildren, siblings, parents, grandparents and in-laws of any of the
foregoing individuals.
Class A shares may be purchased at net asset value through
certain broker-dealers, registered investment advisers and other financial
institutions which have entered into an agreement with the Distributor, which
includes a requirement that such shares be sold for the benefit of clients
participating in a "wrap account" or a similar program under which such
clients pay a fee to such broker-dealer, registered investment adviser or
other financial institution. The Investment Advisers will pay a fee of up to
1.5% of the amount invested by a participant in its Investment Architect
Account or any other wrap account to FNIS, FNBC or other third-parties.
Class A shares also may be purchased at net asset value,
without a sales charge, with the proceeds from the redemption of shares of an
investment company sold with a sales charge or commission or annuity contract
or guaranteed investment contract subject to a surrender charge. This also
includes shares of an investment company that were or would be subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption. The purchase must be made
within 60 days of the redemption, and the Transfer Agent must be notified in
writing by the investor at the time the purchase is made.
Class A shares also will be offered at net asset value without
a sales load to employees participating in accounts such as 401(k) and other
defined contribution or other retirement plan accounts where (i) the employers
or affiliated employers maintaining such plans or programs have a minimum of
200 employees eligible for participation in such plans or programs or (ii)
such plan's or program's assets exceed one million dollars ("Eligible Benefit
Plans").
If an investor purchases Class A shares without an initial
sales charge as part of an investment of at least $1,000,000 or other method
as described above, and redeems those shares within a certain period after
purchase, a CDSC will be imposed at the time of redemption as described below
unless the investor qualifies for a waiver of the CDSC as described below
under "Class B Shares - Waiver of CDSC." The terms set forth under "How to
Redeem Shares-Contingent Deferred Sales Charge--Class B" (other than the
amount of the CDSC and its time periods) are applicable to the Class A shares
subject to a CDSC. The following table sets forth the rates of such CDSC for
the indicated time periods:
CDSC as a % of
Amount Invested or Year Since Purchase

------------------- ----------------
1.00% First
0.50% Second
Class B Shares
The public offering price for Class B shares is the net asset
value per share of that Class. No initial sales charge is imposed at the time
of purchase. As a result, the entire purchase price is immediately invested in
the Fund. A CDSC is imposed, however, on certain redemptions of Class B
shares, as described under "How To Redeem Shares" below. Class B shares are
subject to an annual service fee and distribution fee. See "Distribution Plans
and Shareholder Services Plans."
The Distributor will compensate certain Service Agents for
selling Class B shares at the time of purchase from its own assets. Proceeds
of the CDSC and distribution fees payable to the Distributor, in part, would
be used to defray these expenses.
52
<PAGE>
Class I Shares
The public offering price for Class I shares is the net asset
value per share of that Class. No sales charge is imposed for Class I shares.
Class I shares held by investors who after purchasing Class I
shares for their Fiduciary Accounts withdraw from such Accounts will convert
to Class A shares automatically upon such withdrawal, based on the relative
net asset values for shares of each such Class, and will be subject to the
annual service fee charged to Class A shares.
Right of Accumulation-Class A Shares
Reduced sales loads apply to any purchase of Class A shares
where the dollar amount of shares being purchased, plus the value of shares of
such Fund, shares of other Funds and shares of certain other investment
companies advised by the Investment Advisers purchased with a sales load or
acquired by a previous exchange of shares purchased with a sales load
(hereinafter referred to as "Eligible Funds") held by an investor and any
related "purchaser" as defined in the Statement of Additional Information, is
$50,000 or more. If, for example, an investor previously purchased and still
holds Class A shares of the Equity Income Fund, or of any other Eligible Fund
or combination thereof, with an aggregate current market value of $40,000 and
subsequently purchases Class A shares of such Fund or an Eligible Fund having
a current value of $20,000, the sales load applicable to the subsequent
purchase would be reduced to 4.50% of the offering price (4.71% of the net
asset value). All present holdings of Eligible Funds may be combined to
determine the current offering price of the aggregate investment in
ascertaining the sales load applicable to each subsequent purchase.
To qualify for reduced sales loads, at the time of a purchase
an investor must notify the Transfer Agent. The reduced sales load is subject
to confirmation of the investor's holdings through a check of appropriate
records.
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES
The Exchange Privilege and Automatic Investment Plan are
available to shareholders of any Class. The Letter of Intent is available only
for Class A shareholders, and the Reinstatement Privilege is available only
for Class A and Class B shareholders. Such services and privileges may not be
available to clients of certain Service Agents and some Service Agents may
impose certain conditions on their clients which are different from those
described in this Prospectus. Each investor should consult his Service Agent
in this regard.
Exchange Privilege
The Exchange Privilege enables an investor to purchase, in
exchange for shares of a Fund which have been owned for at least 30 days,
shares of the same Class of the other Funds or the other investment portfolios
of the Trust. This privilege may be expanded to permit exchanges between a
Fund and other funds that, in the future, may be advised by the Investment
Advisers. Exchanges may be made to the extent the shares being received in the
exchange are offered for sale in the shareholder's state of residence.
Shares of the same Class of Funds and other investment
portfolios of the Trust purchased by exchange will be purchased on the basis
of relative net asset value per share as follows:
A. Shares of Funds purchased with or without a sales load may
be exchanged without a sales load for shares of other Funds and investment
portfolios of the Trust sold without a sales load.
53
<PAGE>
B. Shares of Funds purchased without a sales load may be
exchanged for shares of other Funds and investment portfolios of the Trust
sold with a sales load, and the applicable sales load will be deducted.
C. Shares of Funds purchased with a sales load, shares of Funds
acquired by a previous exchange from shares purchased with a sales load and
additional shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or distributions
of any such Funds (collectively referred to herein as "Purchased Shares") may
be exchanged for shares of other Funds sold with a sales load (referred to
herein as "Offered Shares"), provided that, if the sales load applicable to
the Offered Shares exceeds the maximum sales load that could have been imposed
in connection with the Purchased Shares (at the time the Purchased Shares were
acquired), without giving effect to any reduced loads, the difference will be
deducted. To accomplish such an exchange, shareholders must notify the
Transfer Agent of their prior ownership of Fund shares and their account
number.
D. Shares of Funds subject to a CDSC that are exchanged for
shares of another Fund or of the Trust's Money Market Fund will be subject to
the higher applicable CDSC of the two funds, and for purposes of calculating
CDSC rates and conversion periods, if any, will be deemed to have been held
since the date the shares being exchanged were initially purchased.
E. A qualified or non-qualified employee benefit plan with
assets of at least $1 million or 200 eligible participants may be exchanged
from Class B shares to Class A shares on or after January 1 of the year
following the year of the plan's eligibility, provided that the sponsor of the
plan has so notified the Service Agent of its eligibility and in turn, the
Service Agent has notified the Transfer Agent of such eligibility.
No fees currently are charged shareholders directly in
connection with exchanges although the Funds reserve the right, upon not less
than 60 days' written notice, to charge shareholders a nominal fee in
accordance with rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Funds reserve the right to reject any exchange request in whole or in
part. The Exchange Privilege may be modified or terminated at any time upon
notice to shareholders.
The exchange of shares of one Fund for shares of another is
treated for federal income tax purposes as a sale of the shares given in
exchange by the shareholder and, therefore, an exchanging shareholder may
realize a taxable gain or loss.
Letter Of Intent-Class A Shares
By signing a Letter of Intent form, available from the Transfer
Agent, the Investment Advisers, certain of their affiliates or certain Service
Agents, an investor becomes eligible for the reduced sales load applicable to
the total number of Eligible Fund shares purchased in a 13-month period
(beginning up to 30 days before the date of execution of the Letter of Intent)
pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Letter of Intent. A
minimum initial purchase of $10,000 is required. To compute the applicable
sales load, the offering price of shares the investor holds (on the date of
submission of the Letter of Intent) in any Eligible Fund that may be used
toward "Right of Accumulation" benefits described above may be used as a
credit toward completion of the Letter of Intent. However, the reduced sales
load will be applied only to new purchases.
The Transfer Agent will hold in escrow 5% of the amount
indicated in the Letter of Intent for payment of a higher sales load if the
investor does not purchase the full amount indicated in the Letter of Intent.
The escrow will be released when the investor fulfills the terms of the Letter
of Intent by purchasing the specified amount. Assuming completion of the total
minimum investment specified under a Letter of Intent, an adjustment will be
made to reflect any reduced sales load applicable to shares purchased during
the 30-day period before submission of the Letter of Intent. In addition, if
the investor's purchases qualify for a further sales load reduction, the sales
load will be adjusted to reflect the investor's total purchase at the end of
13
54
<PAGE>
months. If total purchases are less than the amount specified, the investor
will be notified that a deduction from escrow to cover the difference between
the sales load actually paid and the sales load applicable to the aggregate
purchases actually made will be assessed. Signing a Letter of Intent does not
bind the investor to purchase, or the Trust to sell, the total amount
indicated at the sales load in effect at the time of signing, but the investor
must complete the intended purchase to obtain the reduced sales load. At the
time an investor purchases Class A shares, the investor must indicate his or
her intention to do so under a Letter of Intent.
Automatic Investment Plan
The Automatic Investment Plan permits an investor to purchase
shares in amounts of at least $100 at regular intervals selected by the
investor. Provided the investor's bank or other financial institution allows
automatic withdrawals, shares may be purchased by transferring funds from the
bank account designated by the investor. At the investor's option, the account
designated will be debited in the specified amount, on any day between the
first and the twenty-fifth day of the month. Only an account maintained at a
domestic financial institution which is an Automated Clearing House member may
be so designated. To establish an Automatic Investment Plan account, the
investor must check the appropriate box and supply the necessary information
on the Account Application. Investors may obtain the necessary applications
from the Transfer Agent. Investors should be aware that periodic investment
plans do not guarantee a profit and will not protect an investor against loss
in a declining market. An investor may cancel his or her participation in the
Plan or change the amount of purchase at any time by mailing written
notification to the Transfer Agent and such notification will be effective
three business days following receipt. The Funds may modify or terminate the
Automatic Investment Plan at any time or charge a service fee. No such fee
currently is contemplated.
Reinstatement Privilege
The Reinstatement Privilege enables investors who have redeemed
Class A or Class B shares to purchase, within 120 days of such redemption,
Class A shares without the imposition of a sales load in an amount not to
exceed the redemption proceeds received. Class A shares so reinstated or
purchased will be offered at a purchase price equal to the then-current net
asset value of Class A determined after a reinstatement request and payment
for Class A shares are received by the Transfer Agent. This privilege also
enables such investors to reinstate their account for the purpose of
exercising the Exchange Privilege. To use the Reinstatement Privilege, an
investor must submit a written reinstatement request to the Transfer Agent.
The reinstatement request and payment must be received within 120 days of the
trade date of the redemption. There currently are no restrictions on the
number of times an investor may use this privilege.
Option to Make Systematic Withdrawals
The Systematic Withdrawal Plan permits investors who own shares
of a Fund having a minimum value of $15,000 at the time he elects under the
Systematic Withdrawal Plan to have a fixed sum distributed in redemption at
regular intervals. An application form and additional information regarding
this service may be obtained from an investor's financial institution or the
Transfer Agent by calling (800) 688-3350.
Cross Reinvestment of Dividend Plan
The Trust makes available to investors a Cross Reinvestment of
Dividend Plan pursuant to which an investor who owns shares of any Fund with a
minimum value of $10,000 at the time he elects may have dividends paid by such
Fund automatically reinvested into shares of another Fund or investment
portfolio of the Trust in which he has invested a minimum of $1,000. Investors
may obtain an application and additional information from their financial
institutions or the Transfer Agent by calling (800) 688-3350.

<PAGE>
Pegasus Funds Individual Retirement Custodial Account
Class A and Class B shares may be purchased in conjunction with
the Trust's Individual Retirement Custodial Account Program ("IRA") where NBD
acts as custodian. Investors should consult their institutions or the Transfer
Agent for information as to applications and annual fees. The minimum
investment for an IRA is $250. Investors should also consult their tax
advisers to determine whether the benefits of an IRA are available or
appropriate.
HOW TO REDEEM SHARES
In General
An investor may request redemption of his shares at any time.
Redemption requests should be transmitted to the Transfer Agent as described
below. An investor who has purchased shares through his Fiduciary Account or
as a participant in an Eligible Retirement Plan must redeem shares by
following instructions pertaining to such Account or Plan. It is the
responsibility of the entity authorized to act on behalf of such Account or
Plan to transmit the redemption order to the Transfer Agent and credit the
investor's account with the redemption proceeds on a timely basis. When a
request is received in proper form, the Fund will redeem the shares at the
next determined net asset value as described below. If an investor holds Fund
shares of more than one Class, any request for redemption must specify the
Class of shares being redeemed. If an investor fails to specify the Class of
shares to be redeemed, Class A shares will be redeemed first. If an investor
owns fewer shares of the Class than specified to be redeemed, the redemption
request may be delayed until the Transfer Agent receives further instructions
from the investor or his Service Agent.
The Funds impose no charges when shares are redeemed. However,
the Trust may impose a CDSC as described below. Service Agents may charge a
nominal fee for effecting redemptions of Fund shares. The value of the shares
redeemed may be more or less than their original cost, depending upon the
Fund's then-current net asset value.
A Fund ordinarily will make payment for all shares redeemed
within seven days after receipt by the Transfer Agent of a redemption request
in proper form, except as provided by the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. However, if an investor has purchased Fund shares by check or
through the Automatic Investment Plan and subsequently submits a written
redemption request to the Transfer Agent, the redemption proceeds will be
transmitted to the investor promptly upon bank clearance of the investor's
purchase check or Automatic Investment Plan order, which may take up to eight
business days or more. In addition, the Fund will not honor Redemption Checks
for a period of eight business days after receipt by the Transfer Agent of the
purchase check or Automatic Investment Plan order against which such
redemption is requested. These procedures will not apply if the investor
otherwise has a sufficient collected balance in his or her account to cover
the redemption request. Prior to the time any redemption is effective,
dividends on such shares will accrue and be payable, and the investor will be
entitled to exercise all other rights of beneficial ownership. Fund shares
will not be redeemed until the Transfer Agent has received the investor's
Account Application.
Each Fund reserves the right to redeem an investor's account at
the Fund's option upon not less than 30 days' written notice if, due to share
redemptions, the account's net asset value decreases to less than $1,000 and
remains so during the notice period.

Class B Shares
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
A CDSC payable to the Distributor may be imposed on redemptions
of Class B shares depending on the number of years such shares were held by
the investor. The following table sets forth the rates of the CDSC applied for
the Funds:

</TABLE>
In determining whether a CDSC is applicable to a redemption,
the calculation will be made in a manner that results in the lowest possible
rate. Class B shares redeemed will not be subject to a CDSC to the extent that
the value of such shares represents capital appreciation or reinvestment of
dividends or distributions. It will be assumed that the redemption is made
first of Class B shares acquired pursuant to the reinvestment of dividends and
distributions or representing any capital appreciation in the value of the
Class B shares held by the investor; then of Class B shares held for the
longest period of time.
Waiver Of CDSC
The CDSC will be waived in connection with (a) redemptions made
within one year after the death of the shareholder, (b) redemptions by
shareholders after age 70-1/2 for purposes of the minimum required
distribution from an IRA, Keogh plan or custodial account pursuant to Section
403(b) of the Code, (c) distributions from a qualified plan upon retirement or
termination of employment, (d) redemptions of shares acquired through a
contribution in excess of permitted amounts, (e) in-service withdrawals from
tax qualified plans by participants and (f) redemptions initiated by a Fund of
accounts with net assets of less than $1,000.
Conversion Of Class B Shares
Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares (and
thus become subject to the lower expenses borne by Class A shares) at the
beginning of the eighth year (seventh year in the case of the Equity Index,
Short Bond, Income, Intermediate Bond and Intermediate Municipal Bond Funds)
after the date of purchase, together with the pro rata portion of all Class B
shares representing dividends and other distributions paid in additional Class
B shares. The conversion will be effected at the relative net asset values per
share of the two Classes on the first business day of the month following the
seventh anniversary (sixth anniversary in the case of the Equity Index, Short
Bond, Income, Intermediate Bond and Intermediate Municipal Bond Funds) of the
original purchase. If any exchanges of Class B shares during the eight-year or
seven-year, as the case may be, period occurred, the holding period for the
shares exchanged will be counted toward the eight-year or seven-year, as the
case may be, period. At the time of the conversion the net asset value per
share of the Class
57
<PAGE>
A shares may be higher or lower than the net asset value per share of the
Class B shares; as a result, depending on the relative net asset values per
share, a shareholder may receive fewer or more Class A shares than the number
of Class B shares converted.
Upon conversion to Class A shares, Class B shares will no
longer be subject to the distribution fee. Class B shares that have been
acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions will be
converted on a pro rata basis together with other Class B shares, in the
proportion that a shareholder's Class B shares converting to Class A shares
bears to the total Class B shares not acquired through the reinvestment of
dividends and distributions.
Each Fund reserves the right to cease offering Class B shares
for sale at any time or reject any order for the purchase of Class B shares
and to cease offering any services provided by a Service Agent.
Redemption Procedures
An investor who has purchased shares through his account at
FCN, its affiliates or a Service Agent must redeem shares by following
instructions pertaining to such account. If an investor has given his Service
Agent authority to instruct the Transfer Agent to redeem shares and to credit
the proceeds of such redemption to a designated account at the Service Agent,
the investor may redeem shares only in this manner and in accordance with a
written redemption request described below. It is the responsibility of FCN,
the Investment Advisers or the Service Agent, as the case may be, to transmit
the redemption order and credit the investor's account with the redemption
proceeds on a timely basis.
If you sell shares having a net asset value of $50,000 or more,
the signatures of registered owners or their legal representatives must be
guaranteed by a bank, broker-dealer or certain other financial institutions.
See the Transfer Agent for more information about where to obtain a signature
guarantee. If you want your redemption proceeds sent to an address other than
your address as it appears on the Transfer Agent's records, a signature
guarantee is required. The Transfer Agent usually requires additional
documentation for the sale of shares by a corporation, partnership, agent or
fiduciary, or a surviving joint owner.
You may use the Transfer Agent's Telephone Redemption Privilege
to redeem shares from your account, unless you have notified the Transfer
Agent of an address change within the preceding 15 days. Unless an investor
indicates otherwise on the account application, the Transfer Agent will be
authorized to act upon redemption and transfer instructions received by
telephone from a shareholder, or any person claiming to act as his or her
representative, who can provide the Transfer Agent with his or her account
registration and address as it appears on the Transfer Agent's records. With
the telephone redemption or exchange privilege, an investor authorizes the
Transfer Agent to act on telephone instructions from any person representing
himself or herself to be the investor, or a representative of the investor's
Service Agent, and reasonably believed by the Transfer Agent to be genuine.
The Trust will require the Transfer Agent to employ reasonable procedures,
such as requiring a form of personal identification, to confirm that
instructions are genuine and, if it does not follow such procedures, the Trust
or the Transfer Agent may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or
fraudulent instructions. Neither the Trust nor the Transfer Agent will be
liable for following telephone instructions reasonably believed to be genuine.
During times of drastic economic or market conditions, an
investor may experience difficulty in contacting the Transfer Agent by
telephone to request a redemption or exchange of Fund shares. In such cases,
investors should consider using the other redemption procedures described
herein. Use of these other redemption procedures may result in the investor's
redemption request being processed at a later time than it would have been if
telephone redemption had been used. During the delay, the Fund's net asset
value may fluctuate.
58
<PAGE>
Written Redemption Requests
Investors may redeem shares by written request mailed to the
Transfer Agent at 4400 Computer Drive, Westborough, Massachusetts 01581-5120.
Redemption requests must be signed by each shareholder, including each owner
of a joint account, and each signature must be guaranteed for redemptions
greater than $50,000. The Transfer Agent has adopted standards and procedures
pursuant to which signature-guarantees in proper form generally will be
accepted from domestic banks, brokers, dealers, credit unions, national
securities exchanges, registered securities associations, clearing agencies
and savings associations, as well as from participants in the New York Stock
Exchange Medallion Signature Program, the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion
Program ("STAMP"), and the Stock Exchange's Medallion Program.

Although the fee payable by the International Equity Fund is
higher than the fee payable by other funds, the Investment Advisers believe
that it is within the range of fees payable by funds with comparable
investment objectives and policies.

FCIMCO, NBD and BISYS serve as the Trust's Co-Administrators
pursuant to an Administration Agreement with the Trust. Under the
Administration Agreement, FCIMCO, NBD and BISYS generally assist in all
aspects of the Trust's operations, other than providing investment advice,
subject to the overall authority of the Trust's Board in accordance with
Massachusetts law. Under the terms of the
62
<PAGE>
Administration Agreement, FCIMCO, NBD and BISYS are entitled jointly to a
monthly administration fee at the annual rate of .15% of each Fund's average
daily net assets.
Banking laws and regulations currently prohibit a bank holding
company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 or any affiliate
thereof from sponsoring, organizing, controlling or distributing the shares of
a registered open-end investment company continuously engaged in the issuance
of its shares, and prohibit banks generally from underwriting securities, but
do not prohibit such a bank holding company or affiliate from acting as
investment adviser, transfer agent, or custodian to such an investment company
or from purchasing shares of such a company as agent for and upon the order of
a customer. The Investment Advisers and the Trust believe that the Investment
Advisers may perform the advisory, administrative and custodial services for
the Trust described in this Prospectus, and that the Investment Advisers,
subject to such banking laws and regulations, may perform the shareholder
services contemplated by this Prospectus, without violation on such banking
laws or regulations. However, future changes in legal requirements relating to
the permissible activities of banks and their affiliates, as well as future
interpretations of present requirements, could prevent the Investment Advisers
from continuing to perform investment advisory or custodial services for the
Trust or require the Investment Advisers to alter or discontinue the services
provided by them to shareholders.
If the Investment Advisers were prohibited from performing
investment advisory or custodial services for the Trust, it is expected that
the Board of Trustees would recommend that shareholders approve new agreements
with another entity or entities qualified to perform such services and
selected by the Board. If the Investment Advisers or their affiliates were
required to discontinue all or part of its shareholder servicing activities,
their customers would be permitted to remain the beneficial owners of Fund
shares and alternative means for continuing the servicing of such customers
would be sought. The Trust does not anticipate that investors would suffer any
adverse financial consequences as a result of these occurrences.
Distributor
BISYS Fund Services, Inc., located at 3435 Stelzer Road,
Columbus, Ohio 43219-3035, serves as the Trust's principal underwriter and
distributor of the Funds' shares.
Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent and Custodian
First Data Investor Services Group, Inc., 4400 Computer Drive,
Westborough, Massachusetts 01581-5120, serves as the Trust's Transfer and
Dividend Disbursing Agent. NBD serves as the Trust's custodian (the
"Custodian").
Expenses
All expenses incurred in the operation of the Trust are borne
by such company, except to the extent specifically assumed by the Trust's
service providers. The expenses borne by the Trust include: organizational
costs, taxes, interest, loan commitment fees, interest and distributions paid
on securities sold short, brokerage fees and commissions, if any, fees of
Board members, Securities and Exchange Commission fees, state Blue Sky
qualification fees, advisory fees, charges of custodians, transfer and
dividend disbursing agents' fees, certain insurance premiums, industry
association fees, outside auditing and legal expenses, costs of maintaining
each Fund's existence, costs of independent pricing services, costs
attributable to investor services (including, without limitation, telephone
and personnel expenses), costs of shareholders' reports and meetings, costs of
preparing and printing prospectuses and statements of additional information
for regulatory purposes and for distribution to existing shareholders, and any
extraordinary expenses. In addition, Class B shares are subject to an annual
distribution fee for advertising, marketing and distributing such shares and
Class A and Class B shares are subject to an annual service fee for ongoing
personal services relating to shareholder accounts and services related to the
maintenance of shareholder accounts. See "Distribution and Shareholder
63
<PAGE>
Services Plans." Expenses attributable to a particular Fund or Class are
charged against the assets of that Fund or Class, respectively; other expenses
of the Trust are allocated among such Funds on the basis determined by the
Board, including, but not limited to, proportionately in relation to the net
assets of each such Fund.
The imposition of the advisory fee, as well as other operating
expenses, including the fees paid under any Distribution Plan and Shareholder
Services Plan, will have the effect of reducing the total return to investors.
From time to time, the Investment Advisers may waive receipt of their fees
and/or voluntarily assume certain expenses of a Fund, which would have the
effect of lowering that Fund's overall expense ratio and increasing total
return to investors at the time such amounts are waived or assumed, as the
case may be. The Fund will not pay the Investment Advisers at a later time for
any amounts which may be waived, nor will the Fund reimburse the Investment
Advisers for any amounts which may be assumed.
DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICES PLANS
Class B shares of each Fund are subject to an annual
distribution fee pursuant to a Distribution Plan. Class A and Class B shares
of each Fund are subject to an annual service fee pursuant to a Shareholder
Services Plan.
Distribution Plan
(Class B only) Under a Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to
Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Trust has agreed to pay the Distributor for
advertising, marketing and distributing shares of a Fund at an aggregate
annual rate not to exceed .75% of the value of the average daily net assets of
Class B shares. The Distributor may pay one or more Service Agents in respect
of these services. The Investment Advisers and their subsidiaries and
affiliates may act as Service Agents and receive fees under the Distribution
Plan. The Distributor determines the amount, if any, to be paid to Service
Agents under the Distribution Plan and the basis on which such payments are
made. The fees payable under the Distribution Plan are payable without regard
to actual expenses incurred.
Shareholder Services Plan
(Class A and Class B) Under a Shareholder Services Plan, the
Trust pays the Distributor for the provision of certain services to the
holders of Class A and Class B shares a fee at an annual rate of .25% of the
value of the average daily net assets of such shares. The services provided
may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as
answering shareholder inquiries regarding the Fund and providing reports and
other information and services related to the maintenance of shareholder
accounts. Under the Shareholder Services Plan, the Distributor may make
payments to Service Agents in respect of these services. The Investment
Advisers and their subsidiaries and affiliates may act as Service Agents and
receive fees under the Shareholder Services Plan. The Distributor determines
the amounts to be paid to Service Agents.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
The Managed Assets Balanced, Managed Assets Growth, Growth,
Small-Cap Opportunity, Mid-Cap Opportunity, Intrinsic Value, Growth and Value,
Equity Index and International Equity Funds declare and pay dividends from net
investment income quarterly, usually on the last Business Day of the quarter.
The Bond Funds, the Municipal Bond Funds and the Managed Assets Conservative
and Equity Income Funds declare and pay dividends from net investment income
monthly, usually on the last Business Day of the month.
64
<PAGE>
Each Fund will make distributions from net realized securities
gains, if any, once a year, but may make distributions on a more frequent
basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Code, in all events
in a manner consistent with the provisions of the 1940 Act. Dividends are
automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares of the same Class from
which they were paid at net asset value, unless payment in cash is requested.
If cash payment is requested, checks will be mailed within five days.
TAXES
Federal
Each Fund intends to qualify as a "regulated investment
company" under the Code. Such qualification generally will relieve the Funds
of liability for federal income taxes to the extent their earnings are
distributed in accordance with the Code.
Qualification as a regulated investment company under the Code
for a taxable year requires, among other things, that each Fund distribute to
its shareholders an amount equal to at least the sum of 90% of its investment
company taxable income and 90% of its net tax-exempt interest income for such
year. In general, a Fund's investment company taxable income will be its
taxable income, subject to certain adjustments and excluding the excess of any
net long-term capital gain for the taxable year over the net short-term
capital loss, if any, for such year. Each Fund intends to distribute as
dividends substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any
net tax-exempt interest income each year. Most such dividends will be taxable
as ordinary income to each Fund's shareholders who are not currently exempt
from federal income taxes regardless of whether a distribution is received in
cash or reinvested in additional shares. (Federal income taxes for
distributions to an IRA are deferred under the Code.) Such ordinary income
distributions will qualify for the dividends received deduction for
corporations to the extent of the total qualifying dividends received by the
distributing Fund from domestic corporations for the taxable year.
Dividends derived from tax-exempt interest income
("exempt-interest dividends") paid by the Municipal Bond Funds may be treated
by its shareholders as items of interest excludable from their gross income
under Section 103(a) of the Code unless under the circumstances applicable to
the particular shareholder the exclusion would be disallowed. (See Statement
of Additional Information under "Additional Information Concerning Taxes.") An
exempt-interest dividend is any dividend or part thereof (other than a capital
gain dividend) paid by the Municipal Bond Funds and designated as an
exempt-interest dividend in a written notice mailed to its shareholders not
later than sixty days after the close of such Fund's taxable year that when
combined with all other such distributions does not exceed the net Municipal
Obligations interest received by the Fund for the taxable year.
If the Municipal Bond Funds hold certain so-called "private
activity bonds," shareholders will need to include as an item of tax
preference for purposes of the Federal alternative minimum tax that portion of
the dividends paid by a Fund derived from interest received on such bonds. In
addition corporate shareholders will need to take into account all
exempt-interest dividends paid by a Municipal Bond Fund in determining certain
adjustments for the Federal alternative minimum tax.
Substantially all of each Fund's net realized long-term capital
gains, if any, will be distributed at least annually to its shareholders. The
Funds generally will have no tax liability with respect to such gains and the
distributions will be taxable to Fund shareholders who are not currently
exempt from federal income taxes as long-term capital gains, regardless of how
long the shareholders have held the shares and whether such gains are received
in cash or reinvested in additional shares.
Dividends declared in October, November or December of any year
payable to shareholders of record on a specified date in such months will be
deemed for federal tax purposes to have been paid by the
65
<PAGE>
Fund and received by the shareholders and paid by a Fund on December 31 of
such year if such dividends are paid during January of the following year.
Prior to purchasing shares of a Fund, the impact of dividends
or distributions which are expected to be declared or have been declared, but
not paid, should be carefully considered. Any such dividend or distribution,
although in effect a return capital, is subject to tax.
A taxable gain or loss may be realized by a shareholder upon
his redemption, transfer or exchange of shares of a Fund depending upon the
tax basis and their price at the time of redemption, transfer or exchange. If
a shareholder has held shares for six months or less and during that time
received an exempt-interest dividend attributable to those shares, any loss
realized on the sale or exchange of those shares will be disallowed to the
extent of the exempt-interest dividend. If a shareholder has held shares for
six months or less and during that time received a distribution taxable as a
long-term capital gain, then any loss the shareholder might realize on the
sale of those shares will be treated as a long-term loss to the extent of the
earlier capital gain distribution. Generally, a shareholder may include sales
charges incurred upon the purchase of Fund shares in his tax basis for such
shares for the purpose of determining gain or loss on a redemption, transfer
or exchange of such shares. However, if the shareholder effects an exchange of
such shares for shares of another Fund within 90 days of the purchase and is
able to reduce the sales charges applicable to the new shares (by virtue of
the Trust's exchange privilege), the amount equal to such reduction may not be
included in the tax basis of the shareholder's exchanged shares but may be
included under certain circumstances in the tax basis of the new shares.
It is expected that dividends and certain interest income
earned by the International Equity and International Bond Funds from foreign
securities will be subject to foreign withholding taxes or other taxes. So
long as more than 50% of the value of a Fund's total assets at the close of
any taxable year consists of equity securities of foreign corporations, the
Fund may elect, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to treat certain foreign
taxes paid by it, including generally any withholding taxes and other foreign
income taxes, as paid its shareholders. A Fund may make this election. As a
consequence, the amount of such foreign taxes paid by a Fund will be included
in its shareholders' income pro rata (in addition to taxable distributions
actually received by them), and each shareholder will be entitled (a) to
credit his proportionate amounts of such taxes against his U.S. federal income
tax liabilities, or (b) if he itemizes his deductions, to deduct such
proportionate amounts from his U.S. income.
Shareholders will be advised at least annually as to the
federal income tax consequences of distributions made to them each year.
The foregoing discussion summarizes some of the important tax
considerations generally affecting the Funds and their shareholders and is not
intended as a substitute for careful tax planning. Accordingly, potential
investors in the Funds should consult their tax advisers with specific
reference to their own tax situation.
State and Local
Dividends paid by Michigan Municipal Bond Fund that are derived
from interest attributable to tax-exempt Michigan Municipal Obligations will
be exempt from Michigan income tax, Michigan intangibles tax and Michigan
single business tax. Conversely, to the extent that the Fund's dividends are
derived from interest on obligations other than Michigan Municipal Obligations
or certain U.S. Government Obligations (or are derived from short term or long
term gains), such dividends will be subject to Michigan income tax, Michigan
intangibles tax and Michigan single business tax, even though the dividends
may be exempt for federal income tax purposes. The Fund is unable to predict
in advance the portion of its dividends that will be derived from interest on
Michigan Municipal Obligations, but will mail to its shareholders not later
than sixty days after the
66
<PAGE>
close of the Fund's taxable year a written notice containing information as to
the interest derived from Michigan Obligations and exempt from Michigan income
tax, Michigan intangibles tax and Michigan single business tax.
Except as noted above with respect to Michigan income taxation,
distributions of net income may be taxable to investors as dividend income
under other state or local laws even though a substantial portion of such
distributions may be derived from interest on tax-exempt obligations which, if
realized directly, would be exempt from such income taxes.
Miscellaneous
The Trust may be subject to state or local taxes in
jurisdictions in which the Trust may be deemed to be doing business. In
addition, in those states or localities which have income tax laws, the
treatment of the Trust and its shareholders under such laws may differ from
treatment under federal income tax laws. Shareholders are advised to consult
their tax advisers concerning the application of state and local taxes, which
may have different consequences from those of the federal income tax law
described above.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
From time to time, in advertisements or in reports to
shareholders the performance of the Funds may be compared to the performance
of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and to stock and
other relevant indices or to rankings prepared by independent services or
other financial or industry publications that monitor the performance of
mutual funds. For example, the performance of a Fund's shares may be compared
to data prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. In addition, the
performance of the Funds may be compared to the Standard & Poor's 500 Index,
an index of unmanaged groups of common stocks, the Consumer Price Index, or
the Dow Jones Industrial Average, a recognized unmanaged index of common
stocks of thirty industrial companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Performance data as reported in national financial publications such as Money
Magazine, Forbes, Barron's, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, or
in publications of a local or regional nature, may also be used in comparing
the performance of a Fund.
A Fund's "yield" refers to the income generated by an
investment in a Fund over a thirty-day period for the Asset Allocation, Bond
and Municipal Bond Funds identified in the advertisement. This income is then
"annualized," i.e., the income generated by the investment during the
respective period is assumed to be earned and reinvested at a constant rate
and compounded semi-annually and is shown as a percentage of the investment.
Each Municipal Bond Fund may from time to time advertise a "tax-equivalent
yield" to demonstrate the level of taxable yield necessary to produce an
after-tax yield equivalent to that achieved by the Fund. The "tax-equivalent
yield" will be computed by dividing the tax-exempt portion of the Fund's yield
by a denominator consisting of one minus a stated federal income tax rate and
adding the product to that portion, if any, of the Fund's yield which is not
tax-exempt.
The Funds calculate their total returns on an "average annual
total return" basis for various periods from the date they commenced
investment operations and for other periods as permitted under the rules of
the SEC. Average annual total return reflects the average annual percentage
change in value of an investment in the Funds over the measuring period. Total
returns may also be calculated on an "aggregate total return basis" for
various periods. Aggregate total return reflects the total percentage change
in value over the measuring period. Both methods of calculating total return
also reflect changes in the price of a Fund's shares and assume that any
dividends and capital gain distributions made by the Fund during the period
are reinvested in Fund shares. When considering average total return figures
for periods longer than one year, it is important to note that a Fund's annual
total return for any one year in the period might have been greater or less
than the average for the entire period.
67
<PAGE>
Performance of the Funds is based on historical earnings and
will fluctuate and is not intended to indicate future performance. The
investment performance of an investment in the Funds will fluctuate so that a
shareholder's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their
original cost. A Fund's performance data may not provide a basis for
comparison with bank deposits and other investments which provide a fixed
yield for a stated period of time. Performance data should also be considered
in light of the risks associated with a Fund's portfolio composition, quality,
maturity, operating expenses and market conditions. Any fees charged by
financial institutions directly to their customer accounts in connection with
investments in Fund shares will not be reflected in a Fund's performance
calculations.
Historical Performance Information
Composite performance for the Funds or predecessor funds, as
the case may be, for various periods ended December 31, 1995, except as noted.
Total returns for Class A and Class B shares are set forth at net asset value
("NAV") and the Fund's public offering price or maximum CDSC, as applicable.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on
April 21, 1987 under a Declaration of Trust. The Trust is a series fund having
twenty-six series of shares of beneficial interest, each of which evidences an
interest in a separate investment portfolio. The Declaration of Trust permits
the Board of Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional
shares and to create an unlimited number of series of shares ("Series")
representing interests in a portfolio and an unlimited number of classes of
shares within a Series. In addition to the Funds described herein, the Trust
offers the following investment portfolios: the Money Market, Treasury Money
Market, Municipal Money Market, Michigan Municipal Money Market, Cash
Management, U.S. Government Securities Cash Management and Treasury Prime Cash
Management Funds.
Each Fund contained herein and the Money Market Fund offer
three classes of shares; Class A, Class B and Class I. The Treasury Money
Market, Municipal Money Market and Michigan Money Market Funds offer two
classes of shares; Class A and Class I. The Cash Management, U.S. Government
Cash Management and Treasury Prime Cash Management Funds offer two Classes of
shares; Class S and Class I. A sales person and any other person or
institution entitled to receive compensation for selling or servicing shares
may receive different compensation with respect to different classes of shares
in the Series. Each share has $.10 par value, represents an equal
proportionate interest in the related Fund with other shares of the same class
outstanding, and is entitled to such dividends and distributions out of the
income earned on the assets belonging to such Fund as are declared in the
discretion of the Board of Trustees.
Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each full share held,
and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional share held, and each
Series entitled to vote on a matter will vote thereon in the aggregate and not
by Series, except as otherwise expressly required by law or when the Board of
Trustees determines that the matter to be voted on affects only the interests
of shareholders of a particular Series. In addition, shareholders of each of
the Series have equal voting rights except that only shares of a particular
class within a Series are entitled to vote on matters affecting only that
class. Voting rights are not cumulative, and accordingly the holders of more
than 50% of the aggregate number of shares of all Trust portfolios may elect
all of the Trustees.
As of June 18, 1996, NBD held beneficially of record
approximately 88.80%, 74.69%, 80.80%, 81.40%, 84.78%, 88.49%, 89.13%,
97.09%, 94.42%, 99.50%, 86.59% and 63.16%, respectively of the outstanding
shares of the Managed Assets Balanced, Growth, Mid-Cap Opportunity, Intrinsic
Value, Growth and Value, Equity Index, International Equity, Intermediate
Bond, Bond, Short Bond, Municipal Bond and Michigan Municipal Bond Funds,
respectively.
Because NBD serves the Trust as both Custodian and as an
Investment Adviser, the Trustees have established a procedure requiring three
annual verifications, two of which are unannounced, of all investments held
pursuant to the Custodian Agreement, to be conducted by the Trust's
independent accountants.
The Trust does not presently intend to hold annual meetings of
shareholders except as required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law. The
Trust's By-Laws provide that special meetings of shareholders of any Series
shall be called at the written request of shareholders entitled to cast at
least 10% of the votes of a Series entitled to be cast at such meeting. The
Trust also stands ready to assist shareholder communications in connection
with any meeting of shareholders as prescribed in Section 16(c) of the 1940
Act.
No person has been authorized to give any information or to
make any representations other than those contained in this Prospectus and in
the Funds' official sales literature in connection with the offer of the
Funds' shares, and, if given or made, such other information or
representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized. This
Prospectus does not constitute an offer in any State in which, or to any
person to whom, such offering may not lawfully be made.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Certain Portfolio Securities
Ratings - The ratings of Moody's, S&P, Fitch and Duff represent
their opinions as to the quality of the obligations which they undertake to
rate. It should be emphasized, however, that ratings are relative and
subjective and, although ratings may be useful in evaluating the safety of
interest and principal payments, they do not evaluate the market value risk of
such obligations. Therefore, although these ratings may be an initial
criterion for selection of portfolio investments, the Investment Advisers also
will evaluate such obligations and the ability of their issuers to pay
interest and principal. Each Fund will rely on the Investment Advisers'
judgment, analysis and experience in evaluating the creditworthiness of an
issuer. In this evaluation, the Investment Advisers will take into
consideration, among other things, the issuer's financial resources, its
sensitivity to economic conditions and trends, the quality of the issuer's
management and regulatory matters. It also is possible that a Rating Agency
might not timely change the rating on a particular issue to reflect subsequent
events. Once the rating of a security held by a Fund has been changed, the
Investment Advisers will consider all circumstances deemed relevant in
determining whether such Fund should continue to hold the security.
Short-Term Investments - Each Fund may hold the types of
short-term U.S. Government obligations described under Asset Allocation Funds
above.
U.S. Government Obligations - The Funds may invest in all types
of U.S. Government securities, including U.S. Treasury bonds, notes and bills,
and obligations of Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal Farm Credit Banks, Federal
Land Banks, the Federal Housing Administration, Farmers Home Administration,
Export-Import Bank of the United States, Small Business Administration,
Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage
Association, General Services Administration, Student Loan Marketing
Association, Central Bank for Cooperatives, Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, Tennessee Valley Authority,
Resolution Funding Corporation and Maritime Administration. The Funds may also
invest in interests in the foregoing securities, including collateralized
mortgage obligations guaranteed by a U.S. Government agency or
instrumentality, and in Government-backed trusts which hold obligations of
foreign governments that are guaranteed or backed by the full faith and credit
of the United States.
Obligations of certain U.S. agencies and instrumentalities such
as those of the Government National Mortgage Association, are supported by the
full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury; others, such as the Export-Import
Bank of the United States, are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow
from the Treasury; others, such as those of the Federal National Mortgage
Association, are supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S.
Government to purchase the agency's obligations; still others, such as those
of the Student Loan Marketing Association, are supported only by the credit of
the instrumentality.
Bank Obligations - Bank obligations in which the Funds may
invest include certificates of deposit, time deposits, bankers' acceptances
and other short-term obligations of domestic banks, foreign subsidiaries of
domestic banks, foreign branches of domestic banks, and domestic and foreign
branches of foreign banks, domestic savings and loan associations and other
banking institutions. With respect to such securities issued by foreign
branches of domestic banks, foreign subsidiaries of domestic banks, and
domestic and foreign branches of foreign banks, a Fund may be subject to
additional investment risks that are different in some respects from those
incurred by a fund which invests only in debt obligations of U.S. domestic
issuers. Such risks include possible future political and economic
developments, the possible imposition of foreign withholding taxes on interest
income payable on the securities, the possible establishment of exchange
controls or the adoption of other foreign governmental restrictions which
might adversely affect the payment of principal and interest on these
securities and the possible seizure or nationalization of foreign deposits.
A-1
<PAGE>
Certificates of deposit are negotiable certificates evidencing
the obligation of a bank to repay funds deposited with it for a specified
period of time.
Time deposits are non-negotiable deposits maintained in a
banking institution for a specified period of time at a stated interest rate.
Time deposits which may be held by each Fund will not benefit from insurance
from the Bank Insurance Fund or the Savings Association Insurance Fund
administered by the FDIC.
Bankers' acceptances are credit instruments evidencing the
obligation of a bank to pay a draft drawn on it by a customer. These
instruments reflect the obligation both of the bank and of the drawer to pay
the face amount of the instrument upon maturity. The other short-term
obligations may include uninsured, direct obligations bearing fixed, floating
or variable interest rates.
Certain Corporate Obligations - Commercial paper in which the
Funds may invest consists of short-term, unsecured promissory notes issued by
domestic or foreign entities to finance short-term credit needs.
Variable and Floating Rate Instruments - Each Fund may invest
in variable and floating instruments, including without limitation, inverse
floating rate debt instruments ("inverse floaters") some of which may be
leveraged. The interest rate of an inverse floater resets in the opposite
direction from the market rate of interest to which it is indexed. An inverse
floater may be considered to be leveraged to the extent that its interest rate
varies by a magnitude that exceeds the magnitude of the change in the index
rate of interest. The higher degree of leverage inherent in inverse floaters
is associated with greater volatility in their market values.
The absence of an active secondary market with respect to
particular variable and floating rate instruments could make it difficult for
a Fund to dispose of the instruments if the issuer defaulted on its payment
obligation or during periods that the Fund is not entitled to exercise demand
rights, and the Fund could, for these or other reasons, suffer a loss with
respect to such instruments. In the absence of an active secondary market,
variable and floating rate instruments (including inverse floaters) will be
subject to a Fund's limitation on illiquid investments. See "Illiquid
Securities."
Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreements - To increase its
income, each Fund may agree to purchase portfolio securities from financial
institutions subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase them at a
mutually agreed-upon date and price ("repurchase agreements"). No Fund will
enter into repurchase agreements with the Investment Advisers, the
Distributor, or any of their affiliates, except as may be permitted by the
SEC. The seller under a repurchase agreement will be required to maintain the
value of the securities subject to the agreement at not less than the
repurchase price, marked to market daily. Default by the seller would,
however, expose a Fund to possible loss because of adverse market action or
delay in connection with the disposition of the underlying obligations.
Each Fund may also obtain funds for temporary purposes by
entering into reverse repurchase agreements. Pursuant to such agreements, the
Funds will sell portfolio securities to financial institutions such as banks
and broker-dealers and agree to repurchase them at a particular date and
price. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of
the securities sold by a Fund may decline below the price of the securities it
is obligated to repurchase.
Lending Portfolio Securities - To increase income or offset
expenses, each Fund may lend its portfolio securities to financial
institutions such as banks and broker dealers in accordance with the
investment limitations described below. Agreements would require that the
loans be continuously secured by collateral equal at all times in value to at
least the market value of the securities loaned plus accrued interest.
Collateral for such loans could include cash or securities of the U.S.
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. Such loans will not be made if,
as a result, the aggregate of all outstanding loans of a particular Fund
exceeds one-
A-2
<PAGE>
third of the value of its total assets. Loans of securities involve risk of
delay in receiving additional collateral or in recovering the securities
loaned or possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the
securities become insolvent. Loans will be made only to borrowers that provide
the requisite collateral comprised of liquid assets and when, in the
Investment Advisers' judgment, the income to be earned from the loan justifies
the attendant risks.
Zero Coupon Obligations - Each Fund may invest in zero coupon
obligations which are discount debt obligations that do not make periodic
interest payments although income is generally imputed to the holder on a
current basis. Such obligations may have higher price volatility than those
which require the payment of interest periodically. The Investment Advisers
will consider the liquidity needs of the Funds when any investment in zero
coupon obligations is made.
Federal income tax law requires the holder of a zero coupon
security or of certain pay-in-kind bonds to accrue income with respect to
these securities prior to the receipt of cash payments. To maintain its
qualification as a regulated investment company and avoid liability for
Federal income taxes, each Fund that invests in such securities may be
required to distribute such income accrued with respect to these securities
and may have to dispose of portfolio securities under disadvantageous
circumstances in order to generate cash to satisfy these distribution
requirements. Such Fund will not be able to purchase additional income
producing securities with cash used to make such distributions and its current
income may be reduced as a result.
When Issued Purchases and Forward Commitments - The Funds may
purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis and may purchase or sell
securities on a "forward commitment" basis. These transactions, which involve
a commitment by a Fund to purchase or sell particular securities with payment
and delivery taking place at a future date (perhaps one or two months later),
permit the Fund to lock-in a price or yield on a security it owns or intends
to purchase, regardless of future changes in interest rates. When-issued and
forward commitment transactions involve the risk, however, that the yield
obtained in a transaction may be less favorable than the yield available in
the market when the securities delivery takes place. Each Fund's forward
commitments and when-issued purchases are not expected to exceed 25% of the
value of its total assets absent unusual market conditions. The Funds do not
earn income with respect to these transactions until the subject securities
are delivered to the Funds. The Funds do not intend to engage in when-issued
purchases and forward commitments for speculative purposes but only in
furtherance of their investment objectives.
Foreign Securities - Investments by the Asset Allocation,
Equity and Bond Funds in foreign securities, with respect to certain foreign
countries, exposes a Fund to the possibility of expropriation or confiscatory
taxation, limitations on the removal of funds or other assets or diplomatic
developments that could affect investment within those countries. Because of
these and other factors, securities of foreign companies acquired by a Fund
may be subject to greater fluctuation in price than securities of domestic
companies.
Since foreign securities often are purchased with and payable
in currencies of foreign countries, the value of these assets as measured in
U.S. dollars may be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in currency
rates and exchange control regulations. Some currency exchange costs may be
incurred when a Fund changes investments from one country to another.
Furthermore, some securities may be subject to brokerage taxes
levied by foreign governments, which have the effect of increasing the costs
of such investments and reducing the realized gain or increasing the realized
loss on such securities at the time of sale. Income received by the Funds from
sources within foreign countries may be reduced by withholding or other taxes
imposed by such countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the
United States, however, may reduce or eliminate such taxes. All such taxes
paid by a Fund will reduce its net income available for distribution to
investors.
A-3
<PAGE>
American Depository Receipts ("ADRs") - Each Asset Allocation
and Equity Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers in the forms of
ADRs or similar securities representing securities of foreign issuers. These
securities may not be denominated in the same currency as the securities they
represent. ADRs are receipts typically issued by a United States bank or trust
company evidencing ownership of the underlying foreign securities and are
denominated in U.S. dollars. Certain such institutions issuing ADRs may not be
sponsored by the issuer. A non-sponsored depository may not provide the same
shareholder information that a sponsored depository is required to provide
under its contractual arrangements with the issuer.
European Depository Receipts ("EDRs") - Each Asset Allocation
and Equity Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers in the form of
EDRs or similar securities representing securities of foreign issuers. These
securities may not be denominated in the same currency as the securities they
represent. EDRs are receipts issued by a European financial institution
evidencing ownership of the underlying foreign securities and are generally
denominated in foreign currencies. Generally, EDRs, in bearer form, are
designed for use in the European securities markets.
Supranational Bank Obligations - The Asset Allocation, Equity
and Bond Funds may invest in obligations of supranational banks. Supranational
banks are international banking institutions designed or supported by national
governments to promote economic reconstruction, development or trade between
nations (e.g., the World Bank). Obligations of supranational banks may be
supported by appropriated but unpaid commitments of their member countries and
there is no assurance that these commitments will be undertaken or met in the
future.
Convertible Securities - Each Fund may invest in convertible
securities. A convertible security is a security that may be converted either
at a stated price or rate within a specified period of time into a specified
number of shares of common stock. By investing in convertible securities, a
Fund seeks the opportunity, through the conversion feature, to participate in
the capital appreciation of the common stock into which the securities are
convertible, while earning higher current income than is available from the
common stock.
Warrants - Each Asset Allocation and Equity Fund may invest up
to 5% of its assets at the time of purchase in warrants and similar rights
(other than those that have been acquired in units or attached to other
securities). Warrants represent rights to purchase securities at a specified
price valid for a specified period of time. The prices of warrants do not
necessarily correlate with the prices of underlying securities.
Securities of Investment Companies - Each Fund may invest in
securities issued by open and closed-end investment companies which
principally invest in securities in which the Fund invests. Under the 1940
Act, a Fund's investment in such securities, subject to certain exceptions,
currently is limited to (i) 3% of the total voting stock of any one investment
company, (ii) 5% of the Fund's net assets with respect to any one investment
company and (iii) 10% of the Funds net assets in the aggregate. Such purchases
will be made in the open market where no commission or profit to a sponsor or
dealer results from the purchase other than the customary brokers'
commissions. As a shareholder of another investment company, a Fund would
bear, along with other shareholders, its pro rata portion of the other
investment company's expenses, including advisory fees. These expenses would
be in addition to the advisory and other expenses that the Fund bears directly
in connection with its own operations.
Asset Backed Securities - Asset backed securities held by the
Asset Allocation and Bond Funds arise through the grouping by governmental,
government-related and private organizations of loans, receivables and other
assets originated by various lenders ("Asset Backed Securities"), as described
below.
The yield characteristics of Asset Backed Securities differ
from traditional debt securities. A major difference is that the principal
amount of the obligations may be prepaid at any time because the
A-4
<PAGE>
underlying assets (i.e. loans) generally may be prepaid at any time. As a
result, if an Asset Backed Security is purchased at a premium, a prepayment
rate that is faster than expected will reduce yield to maturity, while a
prepayment rate that is slower than expected will have the opposite effect of
increasing yield to maturity. Conversely, if an Asset Backed Security is
purchased at a discount, faster than expected prepayments will increase, while
slower than expected prepayments will decrease, yield to maturity. In
calculating the average weighted maturity of the Funds, the maturity of Asset
Backed Securities will be based on estimates of average life.
Prepayments on Asset Backed Securities generally increase with
falling interest rates and decrease with rising interest rates. Prepayment
rates are also influenced by a variety of economic and social factors. In
general, the collateral supporting non-mortgage backed securities is of
shorter maturity than mortgage loans and is less likely to experience
substantial prepayments. Like other fixed income securities, when interest
rates rise the value of an Asset Backed Security with prepayment features may
not increase as much as that of other fixed income securities, and, as noted
above, changes in market rates of interest may accelerate or retard
prepayments and thus affect maturities.
These characteristics may result in higher level of price
volatility for these assets under certain market conditions. In addition,
while the trading market for short-term mortgages and Asset Backed Securities
is ordinarily quite liquid, in times of financial stress the trading market
for these securities sometimes becomes restricted.
Mortgage Backed Securities. Asset Backed Securities acquired by
the Asset Allocation and Bond Funds consist of both mortgage and non-mortgage
backed securities. Mortgage backed securities represent an ownership interest
in a pool of mortgages, the interest on which is in most cases issued and
guaranteed by an agency or instrumentality of the U.S. Government, although
not necessarily by the U.S. Government itself. Mortgage backed securities
include collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage pass-through
certificates.
Collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") provide the holder
with a specified interest in the cash flow of a pool of underlying mortgages
or other mortgage backed securities. Issuers of CMOs ordinarily elect to be
taxed as pass-through entities known as real estate mortgage investment
conduits ("REMICs"). CMOs are issued in multiple classes, each with a
specified fixed or floating interest rate and a final distribution date. The
relative payment rights of the various CMO classes may be structured in a
variety of ways. The multiple class securities may be issued or guaranteed by
U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities, including the Government
National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), Federal National Mortgage Association
("FNMA") and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), or issued by
trusts formed by private originators of, or investors in, mortgage loans.
Classes in CMOs which the Funds may hold are known as "regular" interests.
CMOs also issue "residual" interests, which in general are junior to and more
volatile than regular interests. The Funds do not intend to purchase residual
interests.
Mortgage pass-through certificates provide the holder with a
pro rata interest in the underlying mortgages. One type of such certificate in
which the Funds may invest is a GNMA Certificate which is backed as to the
timely payment of principal and interest by the full faith and credit of the
U.S. Government. Another type is a FNMA Certificate, the principal and
interest of which are guaranteed only by FNMA itself, not by the full faith
and credit of the U.S. Government. Another type is a FHLMC Participation
Certificate which is guaranteed by FHLMC as to timely payment of principal and
interest. However, like a FNMA security, it is not guaranteed by the full
faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Privately issued mortgage backed
securities will carry a rating at the time of purchase of at least A by S&P or
by Moody's or, if unrated, will be in the Investment Advisers' opinion
equivalent in credit quality to such rating. Mortgage backed securities issued
by private issuers, whether or not such obligations are subject to guarantees
by the private issuer, may entail greater risk than obligations directly or
indirectly guaranteed by the U.S. Government
A-5
<PAGE>
Non-Mortgage Backed Securities. The Asset Allocation and Bond
Funds may also invest in non-mortgage backed securities including interest in
pools of receivables, such as motor vehicle installment purchase obligations
and credit card receivables. Such securities are generally issued as
pass-through certificates, which represent undivided fractional ownership
interests in the underlying pools of assets. Such securities may also be debt
instruments, which are also known as collateralized obligations and are
generally issued as the debt of a special purpose entity organized solely for
the purpose of owning such assets and issuing such debt. Non-mortgage backed
securities are not issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies
or instrumentalities.
Non-mortgage backed securities involve certain risks that are
not presented by mortgage backed securities. Primarily, these securities do
not have the benefit of the same security interest in the underlying
collateral. Credit card receivables are generally unsecured and the debtors
are entitled to the protection of a number of state and federal consumer
credit laws. Most issuers of motor vehicle receivables permit the servicers to
retain possession of the underlying obligations. If the servicer were to sell
these obligations to another party, there is a risk that the purchaser would
acquire an interest superior to that of the holders of the related motor
vehicle receivables. In addition, because of the large number of vehicles
involved in a typical issuance and technical requirements under state laws,
the trustee for the holders of the motor vehicle receivables may not have an
effective security interest in all of the obligations backing such
receivables. Therefore, there is a possibility that recoveries on repossessed
collateral may not, in some cases, be able to support payments on these
securities.
Stripped Government Obligations - The Asset Allocation, Bond
and Municipal Bond Funds may purchase Treasury receipts and other "stripped"
securities that evidence ownership in either the future interest payments or
the future principal payments on U.S. Government obligations. These
participations, which may be issued by the U.S. Government (or a U.S.
Government agency or instrumentality) or by private issuers such as banks and
other institutions, are issued at a discount to their "face value," and may
include stripped mortgage backed securities ("SMBS"), which are derivative
multi-class mortgage securities. Stripped securities, particularly SMBS, may
exhibit greater price volatility than ordinary debt securities because of the
manner in which their principal and interest are returned to investors.
SMBS are usually structured with two classes that receive
different proportions of the interest and principal distributions from a pool
of mortgage backed obligations. A common type of SMBS will have one class
receiving all of the interest, while the other class will receive all of the
principal. However, in some instances, one class will receive some of the
interest and most of the principal while the other class will receive most of
the interest and the remainder of the principal. With respect to investments
in interest only securities, should the underlying obligations experience
greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a Fund may fail to fully
recoup its initial investment in these securities. The market value of the
class consisting entirely of principal payments may be more volatile in
response to change in interest rates. The yields on a class SMBS that receives
all or most of the interest are generally higher than prevailing market yields
on other mortgage backed obligations because their cash flow patterns are more
volatile. For interest only securities, there is a greater risk that the
initial investment will not be fully recouped.
Municipal and Related Obligations - Municipal Obligations that
may be acquired by the Asset Allocation, Bond and Municipal Bond Funds may
include general obligations, revenue obligations, notes and moral obligations
bonds. Each of these Funds, other than the Municipal Bond Funds, currently
intend to invest no more than 25% of its respective total assets in Municipal
Obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer's pledge of its
full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest.
Revenue obligations are payable only from the revenues derived from a
particular facility, class of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds
of a special excise or other specific revenue source such as the user of the
facility being financed. Private activity bonds (i.e. bonds issued by
industrial development authorities) are in most cases revenue securities and
are not payable from the unrestricted revenues of the issuer. Consequently,
the
A-6
<PAGE>
credit quality of a private activity bond is usually directly related to the
credit standing of the private user of the facility involved. Although
interest paid on private activity bonds is exempt from regular federal income
tax, it may be treated as a specific tax preference item under the federal
alternative minimum tax. From time to time, the Municipal Bond Funds may
invest more than 25% of the value of its total assets in industrial
development bonds which, although issued by industrial development
authorities, may be backed only by the assets and revenues of the
nongovernmental users. Where a regulated investment company receives such
interest, a proportionate share of any exempt-interest dividend paid by the
investment company may be treated as such a preference item to the
shareholder. The Municipal Bond Funds may invest without limitation in such
Municipal Obligations if the Investment Advisers determine that their purchase
is consistent with such Fund's investment objective. See "Description of the
Funds - Risk Factors-Municipal Obligations." (See also "Taxes").
Notes are short-term instruments which are obligations of the
issuing municipalities or agencies and are sold in anticipation of a bond
sale, collection of taxes or receipt of other revenues. Moral obligation bonds
are normally issued by a special purpose public authority. If the issuer of a
moral obligation bond is unable to meet its debt service obligations from
current revenues, it may draw on a reserve fund, the restoration of which is a
moral commitment but not a legal obligation of the state or municipality which
created the issuer. Municipal Obligations also include municipal
lease/purchase agreements which are similar to installment purchase contracts
for property or equipment issued by municipalities. The Investment Advisers
will only invest in rated municipal lease/purchase agreements.
There are, of course, variations in the quality of Municipal
Obligations both within a particular classification and between
classifications, and the yields on Municipal Obligations depend upon a variety
of factors, including general money market conditions, the financial condition
of the issuer, general conditions of the municipal bond market, the size of a
particular offering, the maturity of the obligation and the rating of the
issue.
Each Municipal Bond Fund may invest more than 25% of the value
of its total assets in Municipal Obligations which are related in such a way
that an economic, business or political development or change affecting one
such security also would affect the other securities; for example, securities
the interest upon which is paid from revenues of similar types of projects, or
securities of issuers that are located in the same state. As a result, a
Municipal Bond Fund may be subject to greater risk as compared to a fund that
does not follow this practice.
Certain municipal lease/purchase obligations in which the
Municipal Bond Funds may invest may contain "non-appropriation" clauses which
provide that the municipality has no obligation to make lease payments in
future years unless money is appropriated for such purpose on a yearly basis.
Although "non-appropriation" lease/purchase obligations are secured by the
leased property, disposition of the leased property in the event of
foreclosure might prove difficult. In evaluating the credit quality of a
municipal lease/purchase obligation that is unrated, the Investment Advisers
will consider, on an ongoing basis, a number of factors including the
likelihood that the issuing municipality will discontinue appropriating
funding for the leased property.
Among other securities, the Municipal Bond Funds may purchase
short-term Tax Anticipation Notes. Bond Anticipation Notes, Revenue
Anticipation Notes and other forms of short-term loans. Such notes are issued
with a short-term maturity in anticipation of the receipt of tax or other
funds, the proceeds of bonds or other revenues.
Opinions relating to the validity of Municipal Obligations and
to the exemption of interest thereon from federal income tax are rendered by
bond counsel to the respective issues at the time of issuance. Neither the
Funds nor the Investment Advisers will review the proceedings relating to the
issuance of Municipal Obligations or the bases for such opinions.
A-7
<PAGE>
Certain provisions in the Code relating to the issuance of
Municipal Obligations may reduce the volume of Municipal Obligations
qualifying for Federal tax exemption. One effect of these provisions could be
to increase the cost of the Municipal Obligations available for purchase by
the Municipal Bond Funds and thus reduce the available yield. Shareholders of
the Municipal Bond Funds should consult their tax advisers concerning the
effect of these provisions on an investment in the Fund. Proposals that may
restrict or eliminate the income tax exemption for interest on Municipal
Obligations may be introduced in the future. If any such proposal were enacted
that would reduce the availability of Municipal Obligations for investment by
any of these Funds so as to adversely affect its shareholders, the Board would
reevaluate the affected Fund's investment objective and policies and submit
possible changes in the Fund's structure to shareholders for their
consideration. If legislation were enacted that would treat a type of
Municipal Obligation as taxable, the Municipal Bond Funds would treat such
security as a permissible taxable investment within the applicable limits set
forth herein.
Custodial Receipts and Certificates of Participation - The
Asset Allocation, Bond and Municipal Bond Funds may purchase participations in
trusts that hold U.S. Treasury securities (such as TIGRs and CATs) where the
trust participations evidence ownership in either the future interest payments
or the future principal payments on the U.S. Treasury obligations. These
participations are normally issued at a discount to their "face value," and
may exhibit greater price volatility than ordinary debt securities because of
the manner in which their principal and interest are returned to investors.
Securities acquired by the Municipal Bond Funds may be in the
forms of custodial receipts evidencing rights to receive a specific future
interest payment, principal payment or both on certain Municipal Obligations.
Such securities are held in custody by a bank on behalf of holders of the
receipts. These custodial receipts are known by various names, including
"Municipal Receipts," "Municipal Certificates of Accrual on Tax-Exempt
Securities" ("M-CATs") and "Municipal Zero-Coupon Receipts." The Intermediate
Municipal Bond Fund may also purchase from time to time certificates of
participation that, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer, are exempt from
Federal income tax. A certificate of participation gives the Fund an undivided
interest in a pool of Municipal Obligations. Certificates of participation may
have fixed, floating or variable rates of interest. If a certificate of
participation is unrated, the Investment Advisers will have determined that
the instrument is of comparable quality to those instruments in which the
Investment Advisers may invest pursuant to guidelines approved by the Board of
Trustees. For certain certificates of participation, the Fund will have the
right to demand payment, on not more than 30 days' notice, for all or any part
of such Fund's participation interest, plus accrued interest. As to these
instruments, the Fund intends to exercise its right to demand payment as
needed to provide liquidity, to maintain or improve the quality of its
investment portfolio or upon a default (if permitted under the terms of the
instrument).
Tender Option Bonds - The Municipal Bond Funds may hold tender
option bonds, which are Municipal Obligations (generally held pursuant to a
custodial arrangement) having a relatively long maturity and bearing interest
at a fixed rate substantially higher than prevailing short-term tax exempt
rates, that has been coupled with the agreement of a third party, such as a
bank, broker-dealer or other financial institution, pursuant to which such
institution grants the security holders the option, at periodic intervals, to
tender their securities to the institution and receive the face value thereof.
As consideration for providing the option, the financial institution receives
periodic fees equal to the difference between the Municipal Obligation's fixed
coupon rate and the rate, as determined by a remarketing or similar agent at
or near the commencement of such period, that would cause the securities,
coupled with the tender option, to trade at par on the date of such
determination. Thus, after payment of this fee, the security holder
effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at the prevailing
short-term tax exempt rate. The Investment Advisers, on behalf of a Fund, will
consider on an ongoing basis the creditworthiness of the issuer of the
underlying Municipal Obligation, of any custodian and of the third party
provider of the tender option. In certain instances and for certain tender
option bonds, the option may be terminable in the event of a default in
payment of principal or interest on the underlying Municipal Obligations and
for other reasons. No Fund will invest more than 15% of the value of its
A-8
<PAGE>
net assets in securities that are illiquid, which would include tender option
bonds as to which it cannot exercise the tender feature on not more than seven
days' notice if there is no secondary market available for these obligations.
Stand-By Commitments - The Asset Allocation Bond and Municipal
Bond Funds may acquire "stand-by commitments" with respect to Municipal
Obligations held in its portfolio. Under a stand-by commitment, a Fund
obligates a broker, dealer or bank to repurchase, at the Fund's option,
specified securities at a specified price and, in this respect, stand-by
commitments are comparable to put options. The exercise of a stand-by
commitment therefore is subject to the ability of the seller to make payment
on demand. A Fund will acquire stand-by commitments solely to facilitate
portfolio liquidity and does not intend to exercise its rights thereunder for
trading purposes. A Fund may pay for stand-by commitments if such action is
deemed necessary, thus increasing to a degree the cost of the underlying
Municipal Obligation and similarly decreasing such securities yield to
investors.
Options Transactions - Each Fund is permitted to invest up to
5% of their respective assets, represented by the premium paid, in the
purchase of call and put options. Options transactions are a form of
derivative security.
Each Fund is permitted to purchase call and put options in
respect of specific securities (or groups or "baskets" of specific securities)
in which the Fund may invest. Each Fund may write (i.e., sell) covered call
option contracts on securities owned by the Fund not exceeding 25% of the
market value of its net assets at the time such option contracts are written.
Each Fund also may purchase call options to enter into closing purchase
transactions. Each Fund also may write covered put option contracts to the
extent of 25% of the value of its net assets at the time such option contracts
are written. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy,
and obligates the writer to sell, the underlying security at the exercise
price at any time during the option period. Conversely, a put option gives the
purchaser of the option the right to sell, and obligates the writer to buy,
the underlying security at the exercise price at any time during the option
period. A covered put option sold by a Fund exposes the Fund during the term
of the option to a decline in price of the underlying security or securities.
A put option sold by a Fund is covered when, among other things, cash or
liquid securities are placed in a segregated account with the Fund's custodian
to fulfill the obligation undertaken.
Each Fund also may purchase and sell call and put options on
foreign currency for the purpose of hedging against changes in future currency
exchange rates. Call options convey the right to buy the underlying currency
at a price which is expected to be lower than the spot price of the currency
at the time the option expires. Put options convey the right to sell the
underlying currency at a price which is anticipated to be higher than the spot
price of the currency at the time the option expires.
Each Fund also may purchase cash-settled options on interest
rate swaps, interest rate swaps denominated in foreign currency and equity
index swaps. See "Interest Rate and Equity Index Swaps" below. A cash-settled
option on a swap gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, in
return for the premium paid, to receive an amount of cash equal to the value
of the underlying swap as of the exercise date. These options typically are
purchased in privately negotiated transactions from financial institutions,
including securities brokerage firms.
Each Fund may purchase and sell call and put options on stock
indexes listed on U.S. securities exchanges or traded in the over-the-counter
market. A stock index fluctuates with changes in the market values of the
stocks included in the index. Because the value of an index option depends
upon movements in the level of the index rather than the price of a particular
stock, whether a Fund will realize a gain or loss from the purchase or writing
of options on an index depends upon movements in the level of stock prices in
the stock market generally or, in the case of certain indexes, in an industry
or market segment, rather than movements in the price of a particular stock.
A-9
<PAGE>
Successful use by a Fund of options will be subject to the
Investment Advisers' ability to predict correctly movements in the direction
of individual stocks, the stock market generally, foreign currencies or
interest rates. To the extent the Investment Advisers' predictions are
incorrect, the Fund may incur losses which could adversely affect the value of
a shareholder's investment.
Futures Contracts and Options on Futures Contracts - Each Fund
may enter into futures contracts and options on future contracts. The Asset
Allocation and Equity Funds may enter into stock index futures contracts and
all Funds may enter into interest rate futures contracts and currency futures
contracts, and options with respect thereto. See "Options Transactions" above.
These transactions will be entered into as a substitute for comparable market
positions in the underlying securities or for hedging purposes. Although none
of these Funds would be a commodity pool, each would be subject to rules of
the CFTC limiting the extent to which it could engage in these transactions.
Futures and options transactions are a form of derivative security.
Each of these Funds' commodities transactions must constitute
bona fide hedging or other permissible transactions pursuant to regulations
promulgated by the CFTC. In addition, a Fund may not engage in such
transactions if the sum of the amount of initial margin deposits and premiums
paid for unexpired commodity options, other than for bona fide hedging
transactions, would exceed 5% of the liquidation value of the Fund's assets,
after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on such
contracts it has entered into; provided, however, that in the case of an
option that is in-the-money at the time of purchase, the in-the-money amount
may be excluded in calculating the 5%. To the extent a Fund engages in the use
of futures and options on futures for other than bona fide hedging purposes,
the Fund may be subject to additional risk.
Successful use of futures by a Fund also is subject to the
Investment Advisers' ability to predict correctly movements in the direction
of the market, interest rates or foreign currencies and, to the extent the
transaction is entered into for hedging purposes, to ascertain the appropriate
correlation between the transaction being hedged and the price movements of
the futures contract. For example, if a Fund has hedged against the
possibility of a decline in the market adversely affecting the value of
securities held in its portfolio and prices increase instead, the Fund will
lose part or all of the benefit of the increased value of securities which it
has hedged because it will have offsetting losses in its futures positions. In
addition, in such situations, if the Fund has insufficient cash, it may have
to sell securities to meet daily variation margin requirements. Such sales of
securities may, but will not necessarily, be at increased prices which reflect
the rising market. A Fund may have to sell securities at a time when it may be
disadvantageous to do so.
Pursuant to regulations and/or published positions of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, each of these Funds may be required to
segregate cash or high quality money market instruments in connection with its
commodities transactions in an amount generally equal to the value of the
underlying commodity. The segregation of such assets will have the effect of
limiting the Fund's ability otherwise to invest those assets.
Foreign Currency Transactions - The Asset Allocation Funds and
the International Equity and International Bond Funds may engage in currency
exchange transactions either on a spot (i.e., cash) basis at the rate
prevailing in the currency exchange market, or through entering into forward
contracts to purchase or sell currencies. A forward currency exchange contract
involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future
date, which must be more than two days from the date of the contract, at a
price set at the time of the contract. These contracts are entered into in the
interbank market conducted directly between currency traders (typically
commercial banks or other financial institutions) and their customers. They
may be used to reduce the level of volatility caused by changes in foreign
currency exchange rates or when such transactions are economically appropriate
for the reduction of risks in the ongoing management of the Funds. Although
forward currency exchange contracts may be used to minimize the risk of loss
due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, at the same time they
tend to limit any potential gain that might be realized should the
A-10
<PAGE>
value of such currency increase. The Funds also may combine forward currency
exchange contracts with investments in securities denominated in other
currencies.
Each of these Funds also may maintain short positions in
forward currency exchange transactions, which would involve it agreeing to
exchange an amount of a currency it did not currently own for another currency
at a future date in anticipation of a decline in the value of the currency
sold relative to the currency such Fund contracted to receive in the exchange.
Options on Foreign Currency - The Asset Allocation Funds and
the International Equity and International Bond Funds may purchase and sell
call and put options on foreign currency for the purpose of hedging against
changes in future currency exchange rates. Call options convey the right to
buy the underlying currency at a price which is expected to be lower than the
spot price of the currency at the time the option expires. Put options convey
the right to sell the underlying currency at a price which is anticipated to
be higher than the spot price of the currency at the time the option expires.
The Funds may use foreign currency options for the same purposes as forward
currency exchange and futures transactions, as described herein. See also
"Options" and "Currency Futures and Options on Currency Futures" below.
Risks Associated with Futures, Options and Currency and Options
- - - To the extent a Fund is engaging in a futures transaction as a hedging
device, due to the risk of an imperfect correlation between securities in its
portfolio that are the subject of a hedging transaction and the futures
contract used as a hedging device, it is possible that the hedge will not be
fully effective. For example, losses on the portfolio securities may be in
excess of gains on the futures contract or losses on the futures contract may
be in excess of gains on the portfolio securities that were the subject of the
hedge. In futures contracts based on indices, the risk of imperfect
correlation increases as the composition of the Fund varies from the
composition of the index. In an effort to compensate for the imperfect
correlation of movements in the price of the securities being hedged and
movements in the price of contracts, the Fund may buy or sell futures
contracts in a greater or lesser dollar amount than the dollar amount of the
securities being hedged if the historical volatility of the futures contract
has been less or greater than that of the securities. Such "over hedging" or
"under hedging" may adversely affect the Fund's net investment results if
market movements are not as anticipated when the hedge is established.
Successful use of futures by a Fund also is subject to the
Investment Advisers' ability to predict correctly movements in the direction
of securities prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and other
economic factors. For example, if the Fund has hedged against the possibility
of a decline in the market adversely affecting the value of securities held in
its portfolio and prices increase instead, the Fund will lose part or all of
the benefit of the increased value of securities which it has hedged because
it will have offsetting losses in its futures positions. In addition, in such
situations, if the Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities
to meet daily variation margin requirements. Such sales of securities may, but
will not necessarily, be at increased prices which reflect the rising market.
The Fund may have to sell securities at a time when it may be disadvantageous
to do so.
Although a Fund intends to enter into futures contracts and
options transactions only if there is an active market for such contracts, no
assurance can be given that a liquid market will exist for any particular
contract at any particular time. See "Illiquid Securities" above. Many futures
exchanges and boards of trade limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in
futures contract prices during a single trading day. Once the daily limit has
been reached in a particular contract, no trades may be made that day at a
price beyond that limit or trading may be suspended for specified periods
during the trading day. Futures contracts prices could move to the limit for
several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby preventing
prompt liquidation of futures positions and potentially subjecting the Fund to
substantial losses. If it is not possible, or the Fund determines not, to
close a futures position in anticipation of adverse price movements, the Fund
will be required
A-11
<PAGE>
to make daily cash payments of variation margin. In such circumstances, an
increase in the value of the portion of the portfolio being hedged, if any,
may offset partially or completely losses on the futures contract.
Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short
periods of time. They generally are determined by the forces of supply and
demand in the foreign exchange markets and the relative merits of investments
in different countries, actual or perceived changes in interest rates and
other complex factors as seen from an international perspective. Currency
exchange rates also can be affected unpredictably by intervention by U.S. or
foreign governments or central banks, or the failure to intervene, or by
currency controls or political developments in the United States or abroad.
The foreign currency market offers less protection against defaults in the
forward trading of currencies than is available when trading in currencies
occurs on an exchange. Since a forward currency contract is not guaranteed by
an exchange or clearinghouse, a default on the contract would deprive the Fund
of unrealized profits or force the Fund to cover its commitments for purchase
or resale, if any, at the current market price.
Unlike trading on domestic commodity exchanges, trading on
foreign commodity exchanges is not regulated by the CFTC and may be subject to
greater risks than trading on domestic exchanges. For example, some foreign
exchanges are principal markets so that no common clearing facility exists and
a trader may look only to the broker for performance on the contract. In
addition, unless the Fund hedges against fluctuations in the exchange rate
between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which trading is done on foreign
exchanges, any profits that the Fund might realize in trading could be
eliminated by adverse changes in the exchange rate, or the Fund could incur
losses as a result of those changes. Transactions on foreign exchanges may
include both commodities which are traded on domestic exchanges and those
which are not.
Future Developments - Each Fund may take advantage of
opportunities in the area of options and futures contracts, options on futures
contracts and any other derivative investments which are not presently
contemplated for use by a Fund or which are not currently available but which
may be developed, to the extent such opportunities are both consistent with a
Fund's investment objective and legally permissible for such Fund. Before
entering into such transactions or making any such investment, the Fund will
provide appropriate disclosure in its prospectus.
Interest Rate and Equity Index Swaps - Each Fund may enter into
interest rate swaps and equity index swaps, to the extent described under
"Description of the Funds-Management Policies," in pursuit of their respective
investment objectives. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by a Fund with
another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest (for
example, an exchange of floating-rate payments for fixed-rate payments).
Equity index swaps involve the exchange by a Fund with another party of cash
flows based upon the performance of an index or a portion of an index which
usually includes dividends. In each case, the exchange commitments can involve
payments to be made in the same currency or in different currencies. Swaps are
a form of derivative security.
Each Fund usually will enter into swaps on a net basis. In so
doing, the two payment streams are netted out, with the Fund receiving or
paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. If a Fund
enters into a swap, it would maintain a segregated account in the full amount
accrued on a daily basis of the Fund's obligations with respect to the swap.
Each of these Funds will enter into swap transactions with counterparties only
if: (i) for transactions with maturities under one year, such counterparty has
outstanding short-term paper rated at least A-1 by S&P, Prime-1 by Moody's,
F-1 by Fitch or Duff-1 by Duff, or (ii) for transactions with maturities
greater than one year, the counterparty has outstanding debt securities rated
at least Aa by Moody's or AA by S&P, Fitch or Duff.
The use of swaps is a highly specialized activity which
involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with
ordinary portfolio security transactions. There is no limit on the amount of
swap transactions that may be entered into by a Fund. These transactions do
not involve the delivery
A-12
<PAGE>
of securities or other underlying assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk
of loss with respect to swaps is limited to the net amount of payments that a
Fund is contractually obligated to make. If the other party to a swap
defaults, the relevant Fund's risk of loss consists of the net amount of
payments that such Fund contractually is entitled to receive.
Illiquid Securities - Each Fund will not knowingly invest more
than 15% of the value of its respective total assets in securities that are
illiquid. Securities having legal or contractual restrictions on resale or no
readily available market, and instruments (including repurchase agreements,
variable and floating rate instruments and time deposits) that do not provide
for payment to the Funds within seven days after notice are subject to this
limitation. Securities that have legal or contractual restrictions on resale
but have a readily available market are not deemed to be illiquid for purposes
of this limitation.
The Funds may purchase securities which are not registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), but which can
be sold to "qualified institutional buyers" in accordance with Rule 144A under
the 1933 Act. Any such security will not be considered to be illiquid so long
as it is determined by the Board of Trustees or the Investment Advisers,
acting under guidelines approved and monitored by the Board, that an adequate
trading market exists for that security. This investment practice could have
the effect of increasing the level of illiquidity in a Fund during any period
that qualified institutional buyers become uninterested in purchasing these
restricted securities. The ability to sell to qualified institutional buyers
under Rule 144A is a recent development, and it is not possible to predict how
this market will develop. The Board of Trustees will carefully monitor any
investments by a Fund in these securities.
Portfolio Turnover - Generally, the Funds will purchase
securities for capital appreciation or investment income, or both, and not for
short-term trading profits. However, a Fund may sell a portfolio investment
soon after its acquisition if the Investment Advisers believe that such a
disposition is consistent with or in furtherance of the Fund's investment
objective. Fund investments may be sold for a variety of reasons, such as more
favorable investment opportunities or other circumstances. As a result, such
Funds are likely to have correspondingly greater brokerage commissions and
other transaction costs which are borne indirectly by shareholders. Fund
turnover may also result in the realization of substantial net capital gains.
(See "Taxes-Federal" in the Prospectus and "Additional Information Concerning
Taxes" in the Statement of Additional Information.) While it is not possible
to accurately predict portfolio turnover rates, the annual turnover rate for
the Managed Assets Growth Fund is not expected to exceed 100%.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND RISK FACTORS
The following policies supplement the Funds' respective
investment objectives and policies as set forth in the Prospectus.
Additional Information on Fund Instruments
Attached to this Additional Statement is Appendix A which
contains descriptions of the rating symbols used by Rating Agencies for
securities in which the Funds may invest.
Portfolio Transactions
Subject to the general supervision of the Trust's Board of
Trustees, the Investment Advisers are responsible for, make decisions with
respect to, and place orders for all purchases and sales of portfolio
securities for each Fund.
The annualized portfolio turnover rate for each Fund is
calculated by dividing the lesser of purchases or sales of portfolio
securities for the reporting period by the monthly average value of the
portfolio securities owned during the reporting period. The calculation
excludes all securities, including options, whose maturities or expiration
dates at the time of acquisition are one year or less. Portfolio turnover of
the Funds may vary greatly from year to year as well as within a particular
year, and may be affected by cash requirements for redemption of shares and by
requirements which enable the Funds to receive favorable tax treatment.
Portfolio turnover will not be a limiting factor in making portfolio
decisions, and the Funds may engage in short term trading to achieve their
respective investment objectives.
Purchases of money market instruments by the Funds are made
from dealers, underwriters and issuers. The Funds currently do not expect to
incur any brokerage commission expense on such transactions because money
market instruments are generally traded on a "net" basis acting as principal
for their own accounts without a stated commission. The price of the security,
however, usually includes a profit to the dealer. Securities purchased in
underwritten offerings include a fixed amount of compensation to the
underwriter, generally referred to as the underwriter's concession or
discount. When securities are purchased directly from or sold directly to an
issuer, no commissions or discounts are paid.
Transactions on U.S. stock exchanges involve the payment of
negotiated brokerage commissions. On exchanges on which commissions are
negotiated, the cost of transactions may vary among different brokers.
Transactions in the over-the-counter market are generally on a net basis
(i.e., without commission) through dealers, or otherwise involve transactions
directly with the issuer of an instrument.
<PAGE>
The Funds may participate, if and when practicable, in bidding
for the purchase of portfolio securities directly from an issuer in order to
take advantage of the lower purchase price available to members of a bidding
group. A Fund will engage in this practice, however, only when the Investment
Advisers, in their sole discretion, believe such practice to be otherwise in
the Fund's interests.
Total brokerage commissions paid by the Funds for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were as follows:

</TABLE>
The Bond Funds and Municipal Bond Funds incurred no brokerage
commissions for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. The
Managed Assets Growth Fund is expected to commence operations in or after
September __, 1996.
The Advisory Agreement for the Funds provides that, in executing
portfolio transactions and selecting brokers or dealers, the Investment
Advisers will seek to obtain the best overall terms available for each Fund.
In assessing the best overall terms available for any transaction, the
Investment Advisers shall consider factors they deem relevant, including the
breadth of the market in the security, the price of the security, the
financial condition and execution capability of the broker or dealer, and the
reasonableness of the commission, if any, both for the specific transaction
and on a continuing basis. In addition, the Agreement authorizes the
Investment Advisers to cause a Fund to pay a broker-dealer which furnishes
brokerage and research services a higher commission than that which might be
charged by another broker-dealer for effecting the same transaction, provided
that the Investment Advisers determine in good faith that such commission is
reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services
provided by such broker-dealer, viewed in terms of either the particular
transaction or the overall responsibilities of the Investment
-2-
<PAGE>
Advisers to the Funds. Such brokerage and research services might consist of
reports and statistics relating to specific companies or industries, general
summaries of groups of stocks or bonds and their comparative earnings and
yields, or broad overviews of the stock, bond and government securities
markets and the economy.
Supplementary research information so received is in addition
to, and not in lieu of, services required to be performed by the Investment
Advisers and does not reduce the advisory fees payable by the Funds. The
Trustees will periodically review any commissions paid by the Funds to
consider whether the commissions paid over representative periods of time
appear to be reasonable in relation to the benefits inuring to the Funds. It
is possible that certain of the supplementary research or other services
received will primarily benefit one or more other investment companies or
other accounts for which investment discretion is exercised by the Investment
Advisers. Conversely, a Fund may be the primary beneficiary of the research or
services received as a result of portfolio transactions effected for such
other account or investment company.
The Trust will not execute portfolio transactions through,
acquire portfolio securities issued by, make savings deposits in or enter into
repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements with the Investment Advisers, the
Distributor or an affiliated person of any of them (as such term is defined in
the 1940 Act) acting as principal, except to the extent permitted under the
1940 Act. In addition, a Fund will not purchase securities during the
existence of any underwriting or selling group relating thereto of which the
Distributor or the Investment Advisers, or an affiliated person of any of
them, is a member, except to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act. Under
certain circumstances, the Funds may be at a disadvantage because of these
limitations in comparison with other investment companies which have similar
investment objectives but are not subject to such limitations.
Investment decisions for each Fund are made independently from
those for the other Funds and for any other investment companies and accounts
advised or managed by the Investment Advisers. Such other investment companies
and accounts may also invest in the same securities as the Funds. To the
extent permitted by law, the Investment Advisers may aggregate the securities
to be sold or purchased for the Funds with those to be sold or purchased for
other investment companies or accounts in executing transactions. When a
purchase or sale of the same security is made at substantially the same time
on behalf of one or more of the Funds and another investment company or
account, the transaction will be averaged as to price and available
investments allocated as to amount, in a manner which the Investment Advisers
believe to be equitable to each Fund and such other investment company or
account. In some instances, this investment procedure may adversely affect the
price paid or received by a Fund or the size of the position obtained or sold
by the Fund.

Stripped U.S. Government Obligations
Within the past several years, the Treasury Department has
facilitated transfers of ownership of zero coupon securities by accounting
separately for the beneficial ownership of particular interest coupon and
principal payments on Treasury securities through the Federal Reserve
book-entry record-keeping system. The Federal Reserve program as established
by the Treasury Department is known as "STRIPS" or "Separate Trading of
Registered Interest and Principal of Securities." To the extent consistent
with their respective investment objectives, the Asset Allocation, Bond and
Municipal Bond Funds may purchase securities registered in the STRIPS program.
Under the STRIPS program, the Funds will be able to have their beneficial
ownership of zero coupon securities recorded directly in the book-entry
record-keeping system in lieu of having to hold certificates or other
evidences of ownership of the underlying U.S. Treasury securities.
In addition, the Asset Allocation, Bond and Municipal Bond Funds
may acquire U.S. Government obligations and their unmatured interest coupons
that have been separated ("stripped") by their holder, typically a custodian
bank or investment brokerage firm. Having separated the interest coupons from
the underlying principal of the U.S. Government obligations, the holder will
resell the stripped securities in custodial receipt programs with a number of
different names, including "Treasury Income Growth Receipts" ("TIGRs") and
"Certificate of Accrual on Treasury Securities" ("CATS"). The stripped coupons
are sold separately from the underlying principal, which is usually sold at a
deep discount because the buyer receives only the right to receive a future
fixed payment on the security and does not receive any rights to periodic
interest (cash) payments. The underlying U.S. Treasury bonds and notes
themselves are held in book-entry form at the Federal Reserve Bank or, in the
case of bearer securities (i.e., unregistered securities which are ostensibly
owned by the bearer or holder), in trust on behalf of the owners. Counsel to
the underwriters of these certificates or other evidences of ownership of U.S.
Treasury securities have stated that, in their opinion, purchasers of the
stripped securities most likely will be deemed the beneficial holders of the
underlying U.S. Government obligations for federal tax purposes. The Trust is
not aware of any binding legislative, judicial or administrative authority on
this issue.
As described in the Prospectus, such Funds may also purchase
stripped mortgage-backed securities ("SMBS"). SMBS that are interest only or
principal only and not issued by the U.S. Government may be considered
illiquid securities if they can not be disposed of promptly in the ordinary
course of business at a value reasonably close to that used in the calculation
of net asset value per share.
Bank Obligations
In accordance with their respective investment objectives, each
Fund may purchase bank obligations, which include bankers' acceptances,
negotiable certificates of deposit and non-negotiable time deposits, including
U.S. dollar-denominated instruments
-4-
<PAGE>
issued or supported by the credit of U.S. or foreign banks or savings
institutions. Although the Funds invest in obligations of foreign banks or
foreign branches of U.S. banks only where the Investment Advisers deem the
instrument to present minimal credit risks, such investments may nevertheless
entail risks that are different from those of investments in domestic
obligations of U.S. banks due to differences in political, regulatory and
economic systems and conditions. All investments in bank obligations are
limited to the obligations of financial institutions having more than $1.0
billion in total assets at the time of purchase.
Commercial Paper
Commercial paper, including variable and floating rate notes and
other short term corporate obligations, must be rated in one of the two
highest categories by at least two Rating Agencies, or if not rated, have been
issued by a corporation having an outstanding bond issue rated A or higher by
a Rating Agency. Except as provided in the Prospectus for the International
Bond Fund, bonds and other short term obligations (if not rated as commercial
paper) purchased by the Funds must be rated BBB or Baa, or higher, by a Rating
Agency, respectively, or if unrated, be of comparable investment quality in
the judgment of the Investment Advisers.
Variable and Floating Rate Instruments
With respect to variable and floating rate obligations that may
be acquired by each Fund, the Investment Advisers will consider the earning
power, cash flows and other liquidity ratios of the issuers and guarantors of
such notes and will continuously monitor their financial status to meet
payment on demand. The absence of an active secondary market with respect to
particular variable and floating rate instruments could make it difficult for
a Fund to dispose of instruments if the issuer defaulted on its payment
obligation or during periods that the Fund is not entitled to exercise its
demand rights, and the Fund could, for these or other reasons, suffer a loss
with respect to such instruments.
Lending Securities
When a Fund lends its securities, it continues to receive
interest or dividends on the securities loaned and may simultaneously earn
interest on the investment of the cash collateral. Although voting rights, or
rights to consent, attendant to securities on loan pass to the borrower, such
loans will be called so that the securities may be voted by a Fund if a
material event affecting the investment is to occur.
Repurchase Agreements and Reverse Repurchase Agreements
The repurchase price under the repurchase agreements described
in the Prospectus generally equals the price paid by a Fund plus interest
negotiated on the basis of current short term rates (which may be more or less
than the rate on the securities underlying the repurchase agreement).
Securities subject to repurchase agreements are held
-5-
<PAGE>
by the Trust's Custodian, in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system or
by another authorized securities depository. Repurchase agreements are
considered to be loans under the 1940 Act.
Reverse repurchase agreements are considered to be borrowings by
a Fund under the 1940 Act. At the time a Fund enters into a reverse repurchase
agreement, it will place in a segregated custodial account liquid assets such
as U.S. Government securities or other liquid high-grade debt securities
having a value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including
accrued interest) and will subsequently monitor the account to ensure that
such value is maintained. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that
the market value of the securities sold by the Fund may decline below the
price of the securities it is obligated to repurchase.
American Depository Receipts ("ADRs")
The Asset Allocation and Equity Funds may invest in ADRs, which
are receipts issued by an American bank or trust company evidencing ownership
of underlying securities issued by a foreign issuer. ADRs may be listed on a
national securities exchange or may trade in the over-the-counter market.
Although ADR prices are denominated in U.S. dollars, the underlying security
may be denominated in a foreign currency. The underlying security may be
subject to foreign government taxes which would reduce the yield on such
securities.
When-Issued Purchases and Forward Commitments
A Fund will purchase securities on a when-issued basis or
purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis only with the
intention of completing the transaction and actually purchasing or selling the
securities. If deemed advisable as a matter of investment strategy, however, a
Fund may dispose of or renegotiate a commitment after it is entered into, and
may sell securities it has committed to purchase before those securities are
delivered to the Fund on the settlement date. In these cases the Fund may
realize a capital gain or loss.
When a Fund engages in when-issued and forward commitment
transactions, it relies on the other party to consummate the trade. Failure of
such party to do so may result in the Fund's incurring a loss or missing an
opportunity to obtain a price considered to be advantageous.
Mortgage Backed Securities
Mortgage Backed Securities Generally. Mortgage backed securities
held by the Asset Allocation and Bond Funds represent an ownership interest in
a pool of residential mortgage loans. These securities are designed to provide
monthly payments of interest and principal to the investor. The mortgagor's
monthly payments to his lending institution are
-6-
<PAGE>
"passed-through" to an investor such as the Funds. Most issuers or poolers
provide guarantees of payments, regardless of whether or not the mortgagor
actually makes the payment. The guarantees made by issuers or poolers are
supported by various forms of credit, collateral, guarantees or insurance,
including individual loan, title, pool and hazard insurance purchased by the
issuers or poolers so that they can meet their obligations under the policies.
Mortgage backed securities issued by private issuers or poolers, whether or
not such securities are subject to guarantees, may entail greater risk than
securities directly or indirectly guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
Interests in pools of mortgage backed securities differ from
other forms of debt securities, which normally provide for periodic payment of
interest in fixed amounts with principal payments at maturity or specified
call dates. Instead, these securities provide a monthly payment which consists
of both interest and principal payments. In effect, these payments are a
"pass-through" of the monthly payments made by the individual borrowers on
their residential mortgage loans, net of any fees paid. Additional payments
are caused by repayments resulting from the sale of the underlying residential
property, refinancing or foreclosure net of fees or costs which may be
incurred. Some mortgage backed securities are described as "modified
pass-through". These securities entitle the holders to receive all interest
and principal payments owed on the mortgages in the pool, net of certain fees,
regardless of whether or not the mortgagors actually make the payments.
Residential mortgage loans are pooled by the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"). FHLMC is a corporate instrumentality of the
U.S. Government and was created by Congress in 1970 for the purpose of
increasing the availability of mortgage credit for residential housing. Its
stock is owned by the twelve Federal Home Loan Banks. FHLMC issues
Participation Certificates ("PCs"), which represent interests in mortgages
from FHLMC's national portfolio. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of
interest and ultimate collection of principal.
The Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") is a U.S.
Government sponsored corporation owned entirely by private stockholders. It is
subject to general regulation by the Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development. FNMA purchases residential mortgages from a list of approved
seller/servicers which include state and federally-chartered savings and loan
credit unions and mortgage bankers. Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are
guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA.
The principal guarantor of mortgage-backed securities is the
Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"). GNMA is a wholly-owned U.S.
Government corporation within the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
GNMA is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S
Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued
by approved institutions and backed by pools of FHA-insured or VA-guaranteed
mortgages.
-7-
<PAGE>
Commercial banks, savings and loan institutions, private
mortgage insurance companies, mortgage bankers and other secondary market
issuers also create pass-through pools of conventional residential mortgage
loans. Pools created by such non-governmental issuers generally offer a higher
rate of interest than government and government-related pools because there
are no direct or indirect government guarantees of payments in the former
pools. However, timely payment of interest and principal of these pools is
supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, including individual
loan, title, pool and hazard insurance purchased by the issuer. The insurance
and guarantees are issued by governmental entities, private insurers and the
mortgage poolers. There can be no assurance that the private insurers or
mortgage poolers can meet their obligations under the policies.
The Trust expects that governmental or private entities may
create mortgage loan pools offering pass-through investments in addition to
those described above. The mortgages underlying these securities may be
alternative mortgage instruments, that is, mortgage instruments whose
principal or interest payment may vary or whose terms to maturity may be
shorter than previously customary. As new types of mortgage backed securities
are developed and offered in the market, the Trust may consider making
investments in such new types of securities.
Underlying Mortgages. Pools consist of whole mortgage loans or
participations in loans. The majority of these loans are made to purchasers of
one to four family homes. The terms and characteristics of the mortgage
instruments are generally uniform within a pool but may vary among pools. For
example, in addition to fixed-rate, fixed-term mortgages, the Asset Allocation
and Bond Funds may purchase pools of variable rate mortgages ("VRM"), growing
equity mortgages ("GEM"), graduated payment mortgages ("GPM") and other types
where the principal and interest payment procedures vary. VRMs are mortgages
which reset their interest rate periodically with changes in open market
interest rates. To the extent that a Fund is actually invested in VRMs, its
interest income will vary with changes in the applicable interest rate on
pools of VRMs. GPM and GEM pools maintain constant interest rates, with
varying levels of principal repayment over the life of the mortgage.
All poolers apply standards for qualification to local lending
institutions which originate mortgages for the pools. Poolers also establish
credit standards and underwriting criteria for individual mortgages included
in the pools. In addition, some mortgages included in pools are insured
through private mortgage insurance companies.
Average Life. The average life of pass-through pools varies with
the maturities of the underlying mortgage instruments. In addition, a pool's
term may be shortened by unscheduled or early payments of principal and
interest on the underlying mortgages. The occurrence of mortgage prepayments
is affected by factors including the level of interest rates, general economic
conditions, the location and age of the mortgage and other social and
demographic conditions.
-8-
<PAGE>
Returns on Mortgage Backed Securities. Yields on mortgage backed
pass-through securities are typically quoted based on the maturity of the
underlying instruments and the associated average life assumption.
Reinvestment of prepayments may occur at higher or lower
interest rates than the original investment, thus affecting the yields of a
Fund. The compounding effect from reinvestments of monthly payments received
by a Fund will increase its yield to shareholders, compared to bonds that pay
interest semi-annually.
Real Estate Investment Trusts
The Asset Allocation and Bond Funds may invest in equity real
estate investment trusts ("REITs"). REITs pool investors' funds for investment
primarily in commercial real estate properties. Investments in REITs may
subject a Fund to certain risks. REITs may be affected by changes in the value
of the underlying property owned by the trust. REITs are dependent upon
specialized management skill, may not be diversified and are subject to the
risks of financing projects. REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow
dependency, defaults by borrowers, self liquidation and the possibility of
failing to qualify for the beneficial tax treatment available to REITs under
the Code and to maintain exemption from the 1940 Act. As a shareholder in a
REIT, a Fund would bear, along with other shareholders, its pro rata portion
of the REIT's operating expenses. These expenses would be in addition to the
advisory and other expenses a Fund bears directly in connection with its own
operations.
Foreign Currency Transactions
When the Asset Allocation Funds and the International Equity and
International Bond Funds enter into a currency transaction, it will deposit,
if so required by applicable regulations, with its custodian cash or readily
marketable securities in a segregated account of a Fund in an amount at least
equal to the value of the Fund's total assets committed to the consummation of
the forward contract, the value of the cash or securities will be placed in
the account so that the value of the account will equal the amount of the
Fund's commitment with respect to the contract.
At or before the maturity of a forward contract, a Fund either
may sell a security and make delivery of the currency, or retain the security
and offset its contractual obligation to deliver the currency by purchasing a
second contract pursuant to which the Fund will obtain, on the same maturity
date, the same amount of the currency which it is obligated to deliver. If the
Fund retains the security and engages in an offsetting transaction, at the
time of execution of the offsetting transaction, the Fund will incur a gain or
loss to the extent movement has occurred in forward contract prices. Should
forward prices decline during the period between the Fund's entering into a
forward contract for the sale of a currency and the date it enters into an
offsetting contract for the purchase of the currency, it will realize a gain
to the extent the price of the currency it has agreed to sell
-9-
<PAGE>
exceeds the price of the currency it has agreed to purchase. Should forward
prices increase, the Fund will suffer a loss to the extent the price of the
currency it has agreed to purchase exceeds the price of the currency it has
agreed to sell.
The cost of currency transactions varies with factors such as
the currency involved, the length of the contract period and the market
conditions then prevailing. Because transactions in currency exchange usually
are conducted on a principal basis, no fees or commissions are involved. The
use of forward currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in
the underlying prices of the securities, but it does establish a rate of
exchange that can be achieved in the future. If a devaluation generally is
anticipated, a Fund may not be able to contract to sell the currency at a
price above the devaluation level it anticipates. The requirements for
qualification as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), may cause the Fund to restrict the
degree to which it engages in currency transactions. See "Additional
Information Concerning Taxes."
Futures Contracts and Related Options
See Appendix B to this Additional Statement for a discussion of
futures contracts and related options.
Options Trading
As stated in the Prospectus, each Fund may purchase and sell put
and call options listed on a national securities exchange and issued by the
Options Clearing Corporation. Such transactions may be effected on a principal
basis with primary reporting dealers in U.S. Government securities in an
amount not exceeding 5% of a Fund's net assets. This is a highly specialized
activity which entails greater than ordinary investment risks. Regardless of
how much the market price of the underlying security increases or decreases,
the option buyer's risk is limited to the amount of the original investment
for the purchase of the option. However, options may be more volatile than the
underlying securities, and therefore, on a percentage basis, an investment in
options may be subject to greater fluctuation than an investment in the
underlying securities. A listed call option gives the purchaser of the option
the right to buy from a clearing corporation, and a writer has the obligation
to sell to the clearing corporation, the underlying security at the stated
exercise price at any time prior to the expiration of the option, regardless
of the market price of the security. The premium paid to the writer is in
consideration for undertaking the obligations under the option contract. A
listed put option gives the purchaser the right to sell to a clearing
corporation the underlying security at the stated exercise price at any time
prior to the expiration date of the option, regardless of the market price of
the security. Put and call options purchased by a Fund will be valued at the
last sale price or, in the absence of such a price, at the mean between bid
and asked prices.
-10-
<PAGE>
A Fund's obligation to sell a security subject to a covered call
option written by it, or to purchase a security subject to a secured put
option written by it, may be terminated prior to the expiration date of the
option by the Fund executing a closing purchase transaction, which is effected
by purchasing on an exchange an option of the same series (i.e., same
underlying security, exercise price and expiration date) as the option
previously written. Such a purchase does not result in the ownership of an
option. A closing purchase transaction will ordinarily be effected to realize
a profit on an outstanding option, to prevent an underlying security from
being called, to permit the sale of the underlying security or to permit the
writing of a new option containing different terms on such underlying
security. The cost of such a liquidation purchase plus transaction costs may
be greater than the premium received upon the original option, in which event
the Fund will have incurred a loss in the transaction. An option position may
be closed out only on an exchange which provides a secondary market for an
option of the same series. There is no assurance that a liquid secondary
market on an exchange will exist for any particular option. A covered call
option writer, unable to effect a closing purchase transaction, will not be
able to sell the underlying security until the option expires or the
underlying security is delivered upon exercise with the result that the writer
in such circumstances will be subject to the risk of market decline in the
underlying security during such period. A Fund will write an option on a
particular security only if the Investment Advisers believe that a liquid
secondary market will exist on an exchange for options of the same series
which will permit the Fund to make a closing purchase transaction in order to
close out its position.
When a Fund writes a covered call option, an amount equal to the
net premium (the premium less the commission) received by the Fund is included
in the liability section of the Fund's statement of assets and liabilities as
a deferred credit. The amount of the deferred credit will be subsequently
marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. The
current value of the traded option is the last sale price or, in the absence
of a sale, the average of the closing bid and asked prices. If an option
expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing
purchase transaction, it will realize a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing
purchase transaction exceeds the net premium received when the option is sold)
and the deferred credit related to such option will be eliminated. Any gain on
a covered call option may be offset by a decline in the market price of the
underlying security during the option period. If a covered call option is
exercised, the Fund may deliver the underlying security held by it or purchase
the underlying security in the open market. In either event, the proceeds of
the sale will be increased by the net premium originally received and the Fund
will realize a gain or loss. If a secured put option is exercised, the amount
paid by the Fund involved for the underlying security will be partially offset
by the amount of the premium previously paid to the Fund. Premiums from
expired options written by a Fund and net gains from closing purchase
transactions are treated as short-term capital gains for federal income tax
purposes, and losses on closing purchase transactions are short-term capital
losses.
-11-
<PAGE>
Stock Index Options
The Asset Allocation and Equity Funds may purchase and write put
and call options on stock indices listed on U.S. securities exchanges or
traded in the over-the-counter market. The International Equity Fund may also
purchase and write put and call options on stock indices listed on foreign
securities exchange. A stock index fluctuates with changes in the market
values of the stocks included in the index.
Options on stock indices are similar to options on stock except
that (a) the expiration cycles of stock index options are generally monthly,
while those of stock options are currently quarterly, and (b) the delivery
requirements are different. Instead of giving the right to take or make
delivery of a stock at a specified price, an option on a stock index gives the
holder the right to receive a cash "exercise settlement amount" equal to (i)
the amount, if any, by which the fixed exercise price of the option exceeds
(in the case of a put) or is less than (in the case of a call) the closing
value of the underlying index on the date of exercise, multiplied by (ii) a
fixed "index multiplier." Receipt of this cash amount will depend upon the
closing level of the stock index upon which the option is based being greater
than, in the case of a call, or less than, in the case of a put, the exercise
price of the option. The amount of cash received will be equal to such
difference between the closing price of the index and the exercise price of
the option expressed in dollars times a specified multiple. The writer of the
option is obligated, in return for the premium received, to make delivery of
this amount. The writer may offset its position in stock index options prior
to expiration by entering into a closing transaction on an exchange or it may
let the option expire unexercised.
Convertible Securities
In general, the market value of a convertible security is the
higher of its "investment value" (i.e., its value as a fixed-income security)
or its "conversion value" (i.e., the value of the underlying shares of common
stock if the security is converted). As a fixed-income security, the market
value of a convertible security generally increases when interest rates
decline and generally decreases when interest rates rise. However, the price
of a convertible security also is influenced by the market value of the
security's underlying common stock. Thus, the price of a convertible security
generally increases as the market value of the underlying stock increases, and
generally decreases as the market value of the underlying stock declines.
Municipal and Related Obligations
To the extent consistent with its investment objective, the
Asset Allocation, Bond and Municipal Bond Funds may invest in Municipal
Obligations. There are, of course, variations in the quality of Municipal
Obligations, both within a particular classification and between
classifications, and the yields on Municipal Obligations depend in part on a
variety of factors, including general market conditions, the financial
condition of
-12-
<PAGE>
the issuer, general conditions of the municipal bond market, the size of a
particular offering, the maturity of the obligation and the rating of the
issue. The ratings of Municipal Obligations by Rating Agencies represent their
opinions as to the quality of Municipal Obligations. It should be emphasized,
however, that ratings are general and are not absolute standards of quality,
and Municipal Obligations with the same maturity, interest rate and rating may
have different yields while Municipal Obligations with the same maturity and
interest rate with different ratings may have the same yield. Subsequent to
its purchase by a Fund, a Municipal Obligation may cease to be rated or its
rating may be reduced below the minimum rating required for purchase by the
Fund. The Investment Advisers may consider such an event in determining
whether the Fund should continue to hold the obligation.
The payment of principal and interest on most Municipal
Obligations purchased by a Fund will depend upon the ability of the issuers to
meet their obligations. For the purpose of diversification under the 1940 Act,
the identification of the issuer of Municipal Obligations depends on the terms
and conditions of the security. When the assets and revenues of an agency,
authority, instrumentality or other political subdivision are separate from
those of the government creating the subdivision and the security is backed
only by the assets and revenues of the subdivision, such subdivision would be
deemed to be the sole issuer. Similarly, in the case of an industrial
development bond, if that bond is backed only by the assets and revenues of
the non-governmental user, then such non-governmental user would be deemed to
be the sole issuer. If, however, in either case, the creating government or
some other entity guarantees a security, such a guaranty would be considered a
separate security and will be treated as an issue of such government or other
entity.
An issuer's obligations under its Municipal Obligations are
subject to the provisions of bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting
the rights or remedies of creditors, such as the Federal Bankruptcy Code, and
any laws, that may be enacted by federal or state legislatures extending the
time for payment of principal or interest, or both, or imposing other
constraints upon enforcement of such obligations or upon the ability of
municipalities to levy taxes. The power or ability of an issuer to meet its
obligations for the payment of interest or principal of its Municipal
Obligations may be materially adversely affected by litigation or other
conditions.
Certain Municipal Obligations are subject to redemption at a
date earlier than their stated maturity pursuant to call options, which may be
separated from the related Municipal Obligation and purchased and sold
separately.
Certain of the Municipal Obligations held by the Funds may be
insured at the time of issuance as to the timely payment of principal and
interest. The insurance policies will usually be obtained by the issuer of the
Municipal Obligations at the time of original issuance. There is, however, no
guarantee that the insurer will meet its obligations. In
-13-
<PAGE>
addition, such insurance will not protect against market fluctuations caused
by changes in interest rates and other factors.
The Municipal Bond Funds will purchase tender option bonds only
when the Investment Advisers are satisfied that the custodial and tender
option arrangements, including the fee payment arrangements, will not
adversely affect the tax exempt status of the underlying Municipal Obligations
and that payment of any tender fees will not have the effect of creating
taxable income for the Fund. Based on the tender option bond agreement, that
Fund expects to be able to value the tender option bond at par; however, the
value of the instrument will be monitored by the Investment Advisers to assure
that is valued at fair value.
From time to time proposals have been introduced before Congress
for the purpose of restricting or eliminating the federal income tax exemption
for interest on Municipal Obligations. For example, pursuant to federal tax
legislation passed in 1986 interest on certain private activity bonds must be
included in an investor's federal alternative minimum taxable income, and
corporate investors must include all tax-exempt interest in their federal
alternative minimum taxable income. The Trust cannot predict what legislation,
if any, may be proposed in Congress in the future as regards the federal
income tax status of interest on Municipal Obligations in general, or which
proposals, if any, might be enacted. Such proposals, if enacted, might
materially adversely affect the availability of Municipal Obligations for
investments by the Funds and their liquidity and value. In such event, the
Board of Trustees would re-evaluate the Funds' investment objectives and
policies and consider changes in their structure or possible dissolution.
Stand-By Commitments
The Asset Allocation, Bond and Municipal Bond Funds may acquire
"stand-by commitments" with respect to Municipal Obligations it holds. Under a
stand-by commitment, a dealer agrees to purchase at the Fund's option
specified Municipal Obligations at a specified price. Stand-by commitments may
be exercisable by the Funds at any time before the maturity of the underlying
Municipal Obligations and may be sold, transferred or assigned only with the
instruments involved.
The Funds expect that stand-by commitments will generally be
available without the payment of any direct or indirect consideration.
However, if necessary or advisable, the Funds may pay for a stand-by
commitment either separately in cash or by paying a higher price for Municipal
Obligations which are acquired subject to the commitment (thus reducing the
yield to maturity otherwise available for the same securities). The Funds may
acquire a stand-by commitment unless immediately after the acquisition, with
respect to 75% of its assets not more than 5% of its total assets will be
invested in instruments subject to a demand feature, including stand-by
commitments, with the same institution.
-14-
<PAGE>
The Funds intends to enter into stand-by commitments only with
dealers, banks and broker-dealers which, in the Investment Advisers opinion,
present minimal credit risks. A Fund's reliance upon the credit of these
dealers, banks and broker-dealers will be secured by the value of the
underlying Municipal Obligations that are subject to the commitment. Thus, the
risk of loss to the Funds in connection with a "stand-by commitment" will not
be qualitatively different from the risk of loss faced by a person that is
holding securities pending settlement after having agreed to sell the
securities in the ordinary course of business.
The Funds will acquire stand-by commitments solely to facilitate
portfolio liquidity and do not intend to exercise their rights thereunder for
trading purposes. The acquisition of a stand-by commitment will not affect the
valuation or assumed maturity of the underlying Municipal Obligations which
will continue to be valued in accordance with the amortized cost method. The
actual stand-by commitment will be valued at zero in determining net asset
value. Where a Fund pays directly or indirectly for a stand-by commitment, its
cost will be reflected as an unrealized loss for the period during which the
commitment is held by the Fund and will be reflected in realized gain or loss
when the commitment is exercised or expires.
Additional Investment Limitations
In addition to the investment limitations disclosed in the
Prospectus, the Funds are subject to the following investment limitations
which may not be changed without approval of the holders of the majority of
the outstanding shares of the affected Fund (as defined under "Description of
Shares" below).
None of the Funds may:
1. Purchase or sell real estate, except that each Fund may
purchase securities of issuers which deal in real estate and may purchase
securities which are secured by interests in real estate.
2. Invest in commodities, except that as consistent with a
Fund's investment objective and policies: each Fund may purchase and sell
options, forward contracts, futures contracts, including without limitation
those relating to indices, and options on futures contracts or indices; and
each Fund may purchase publicly traded securities of companies engaging in
whole or in part in such activities.
3. Act as an underwriter of securities within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933 except insofar as a Fund might be deemed to be an
underwriter upon the disposition of portfolio securities acquired within the
limitation on purchases of restricted securities and except to the extent that
the purchase of obligations directly from
-15-
<PAGE>
the issuer thereof in accordance with the Fund's investment objective,
policies and limitations may be deemed to be underwriting.
In addition to the above fundamental limitations, the Funds are
subject to the following non-fundamental limitations, which may be changed
without a shareholder vote:
None of the Funds may:
1. Acquire any other investment company or investment company
security except in connection with a merger, consolidation, reorganization or
acquisition of assets or where otherwise permitted by the 1940 Act.
2. Write or sell put options, call options, straddles, spreads,
or any combination thereof, except for transactions in options on securities
or indices of securities, futures contracts and options on futures contracts
and in similar investments.
3. Purchase securities on margin, make short sales of securities
or maintain a short position, except that (a) this investment limitation shall
not apply to a Fund's transactions in futures contracts and related options
and in options on securities or indices of securities and similar instruments,
and (b) each Fund may obtain short-term credit as may be necessary for the
clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio securities.
4. Purchase securities of companies for the purpose of
exercising control.
5. Invest more than 15% of its total assets in illiquid
securities.
In order to permit the sale of a Fund's shares in certain
states, the Trust may make commitments with respect to a Fund more restrictive
than the investment policies and limitations described above and in its
Prospectus. Should the Trust determine that any such commitment is no longer
in the best interests of a particular Fund, it will revoke the commitment by
terminating sales of the Fund's shares in the state involved and, in the case
of investors in Texas, give notice of such action.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
Shares of the Funds are offered and sold on a continuous basis
by the Trust's distributor, BISYS Fund Services, Inc. ("BISYS"), acting as
agent.

Under the 1940 Act, the Trust may suspend the right of
redemption or postpone the date of payment for shares during any period when:
(a) trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted by applicable rules
and regulations of the SEC; (b) the Exchange is closed for other than
customary weekend and holiday closings; (c) the SEC has by order permitted
such suspension; or (d) an emergency exists as determined by the SEC. (The
Trust may also suspend or postpone the recordation of the transfer of shares
upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing conditions).
-18-
<PAGE>
In addition to the situations described in the Prospectus under
"Redemption of Shares," the Trust may redeem shares involuntarily to reimburse
the Funds for any loss sustained by reason of the failure of a shareholder to
make full payment for shares purchased by the shareholder or to collect any
charge relating to a transaction effected for the benefit of a shareholder
which is applicable to Fund shares as provided in the Prospectus from time to
time.
The Trust normally redeems shares for cash. However, the
Trustees can determine that conditions exist making cash payments undesirable.
If they should so determine, redemption payments could be made in securities
valued at the value used in determining net asset value. There may be
brokerage and other costs incurred by the redeeming shareholder in selling
such securities. The Trust has elected to be covered by Rule 18f-1 under the
1940 Act, pursuant to which the Trust is obligated to redeem shares solely in
cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of net asset value during any 90-day
period for any one shareholder.
Total sales charges paid by shareholders of the Funds for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were as follows:

DESCRIPTION OF SHARES
The Trust is an unincorporated business trust organized under
Massachusetts law on April 21, 1987. The Trust's Declaration of Trust
authorizes the Board of Trustees to divide shares into two or more series,
each series relating to a separate portfolio of investments, and divide the
shares of any series into two or more classes. The number of shares of each
series and/or of a class within each series shall be unlimited. The Trust does
not intend to issue share certificates.
In the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the Trust or an
individual Fund, shareholders of a particular Fund would be entitled to
receive the assets available for distribution belonging to such Fund. If there
are any assets, income, earnings, proceeds, funds or payments, which are not
readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Fund, the Trustees shall
allocate them among any one or more of the Funds as they, in their sole
discretion, deem fair and equitable.
Rule 18f-2 under the 1940 Act provides that any matter required
to be submitted to the holders of the outstanding voting securities of an
investment company such as the Trust shall not be deemed to have been
effectively acted upon unless approved by the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of each Fund affected by the matter. A Fund is affected by
a matter unless it is clear that the interests of each Fund in the matter are
substantially identical or that the matter does not affect any interest of the
Fund. Under the Rule, the approval of an investment advisory agreement or any
change in a fundamental investment policy would be effectively acted upon with
respect to a Fund only if approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of
such Fund. However, the Rule also provides that the ratification of the
appointment of independent accountants, the approval of principal underwriting
contracts and the election of Trustees may be effectively acted upon by
shareholders of the Trust voting together in the aggregate without regard to
particular Funds.
When used in the Prospectus or in this Additional Statement, a
"majority" of shareholders means, with respect to the approval of an
investment advisory agreement, a distribution plan or a change in a
fundamental investment policy, the vote of the lesser of (1) 67% of the shares
of the Trust, or the applicable Fund, present at a meeting if the holders of
more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present in person or by proxy, or
(2) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Trust or the applicable
Fund.
As of May 31, 1996, the name and address and percentage of
class ownership of each person who owned of record 5% or more of any class
of shares of the Managed Assets Conservative, Equity Income, Growth,
Small-Cap Opportunity, Income, International Bond and Intermediate Municipal
Bond Funds is set forth below.

When issued for payment as described in the Funds' Prospectus
and this Additional Statement, shares of the Funds will be fully paid and
non-assessable by the Trust.
The Declaration of Trust provides that the Trustees, officers,
employees and agents of the Trust will not be liable to the Trust or to a
shareholder, nor will any such person be liable to any third party in
connection with the affairs of the Trust, except as such liability may arise
from his or its own bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence, or
reckless disregard of duties. It also provides that all third parties shall
look solely to the Trust property for satisfaction of claims arising in
connection with the affairs of the Trust. With the exceptions stated, the
Declaration of Trust provides that a Trustee, officer, employee or agent is
entitled to be indemnified against all liability in connection with the
affairs of the Trust.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING TAXES
Taxes In General
The following summarizes certain additional tax considerations
generally affecting the Funds and their shareholders that are not described in
the Prospectus. No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation of the
tax treatment of the Funds or their shareholders, and the discussion here and
in the Prospectus is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning and
is based on tax laws and regulations which are in effect on the date hereof;
such laws and regulations may be changed by legislative or administrative
action. Investors are advised to consult their tax advisers with specific
reference to their own tax situations.
Each Fund is treated as a separate corporate entity under the
Code and intends to qualify as a regulated investment company. In order to so
qualify, each Fund must satisfy, in addition to the distribution requirement
described in the Prospectus, certain requirements with respect to the source
of its income for a taxable year. At least 90% of the gross income of each
Fund must be derived from dividends, interest, payments with respect to
securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of stocks,
securities or foreign currencies, and other income (including but not limited
to gains from options, futures, or forward contracts) derived with respect to
the Fund's business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies. The
Treasury Department may by regulation exclude from
-26-
<PAGE>
qualifying income foreign currency gains which are not directly related to the
Fund's principal business of investing in stock or securities, or options and
futures with respect to stock or securities. Any income derived by a Fund from
a partnership or trust is treated as derived with respect to the Fund's
business of investing in stock, securities or currencies only to the extent
that such income is attributable to items of income which would have been
qualifying income if realized by the Fund in the same manner as by the
partnership or trust.
Another requirement for qualification as a regulated investment
company under the Code is that less than 30% of a Fund's gross income for a
taxable year must be derived from gains realized on the sale or other
disposition of the following investments held for less than three months: (1)
stock and securities (as defined in Section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act); (2)
options, futures and forward contracts other than those on foreign currencies;
and (3) foreign currencies (and options, futures and forward contracts on
foreign currencies) that are not directly related to a Fund's principal
business of investing in stock and securities (and options and futures with
respect to stocks and securities). Interest (including original issue discount
and accrued market discount) received by a Fund upon maturity or disposition
of a security held for less than three months will not be treated as gross
income derived from the sale or other disposition of such security within the
meaning of this requirement. However, any other income which is attributable
to realized market appreciation will be treated as gross income from the sale
or other disposition of securities for this purpose.
Each Fund will designate any distribution of long term capital
gains as a capital gain dividend in a written notice mailed to shareholders
within 60 days after the close of the Fund's taxable year. Upon the sale or
exchange of Fund shares, if a shareholder has not held such shares for at
least six months, any loss on the sale or exchange of those shares will be
treated as long term capital loss to the extent of the capital gain dividends
received with respect to the shares.
Ordinary income of individuals is taxable at a maximum nominal
rate of 39.6%; however, because of limitations on itemized deductions
otherwise allowable and the phase-out of personal exemptions, the maximum
effective marginal rate of tax for some taxpayers may be higher. An
individual's long term capital gains are taxable at a maximum nominal rate of
28%. For corporations, long term capital gains and ordinary income are both
taxable at a maximum nominal rate of 35% (or at a maximum effective marginal
rate of 39% in the case of corporations having taxable income between $100,000
and $335,000).
A 4% nondeductible excise tax is imposed on regulated
investment companies that fail to currently distribute an amount equal to
specified percentages of their ordinary taxable income and capital gain net
income (excess of capital gains over capital losses). Each Fund intends to
make sufficient distributions or deemed distributions of its ordinary taxable
income and any capital gain net income prior to the end of each calendar year
to avoid liability for this excise tax.
-27-
<PAGE>
If for any taxable year a Fund does not qualify for the special
federal income tax treatment afforded regulated investment companies, all of
its taxable income will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate
rates (without any deduction for distributions to its shareholders). In such
event, dividend distributions (whether or not derived from interest on
Municipal Obligations) would be taxable as ordinary income to shareholders to
the extent of the Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits and
would be eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations.
Each Fund may be required in certain cases to withhold and
remit to the U.S. Treasury 31% of taxable dividends or gross proceeds realized
upon sale paid to shareholders who have failed to provide a correct tax
identification number in the manner required, who are subject to withholding
by the Internal Revenue Service for failure properly to include on their
return payments of taxable interest or dividends, or who have failed to
certify to the Fund that they are not subject to backup withholding when
required to do so or that they are "exempt recipients."
Depending upon the extent of the Funds' activities in states
and localities in which their offices are maintained, in which their agents or
independent contractors are located or in which they are otherwise deemed to
be conducting business, the Funds may be subject to the tax laws of such
states or localities. In addition, in those states and localities which have
income tax laws, the treatment of the Funds and their shareholders under such
laws may differ from their treatment under federal income tax laws.
As described above and in the Prospectus, the Municipal Bond
Funds are designed to provide investors with current tax-exempt interest
income. The Funds are not intended to constitute a balanced investment program
and is not designed for investors seeking capital appreciation or maximum
tax-exempt income irrespective of fluctuations in principal. Shares of the
Funds would not be suitable for tax-exempt institutions and may not be
suitable for retirement plans qualified under Section 401 of the Code, H.R. 10
plans and IRAs since such plans and accounts are generally tax-exempt and,
therefore, would not only fail to gain any additional benefit from the Fund's
dividends being tax-exempt, but such dividends would be ultimately taxable to
the beneficiaries when distributed to them. In addition, the Fund may not be
appropriate investments for entities which are "substantial users" of
facilities financed by private activity bonds or "related persons" thereof.
"Substantial user" is defined under U.S. Treasury Regulations to include a
non-exempt person who regularly uses a part of such facilities in his trade or
business and whose gross revenues derived with respect to the facilities
financed by the issuance of bonds are more than 5% of the total revenues
derived by all users of such facilities, or who occupies more than 5% of the
usable area of such facilities or for whom such facilities or a part thereof
were specifically constructed, reconstructed or acquired. "Related persons"
include certain related natural persons, affiliated corporations, a
partnership and its partners and an S Corporation and its shareholders.
-28-
<PAGE>
Each Municipal Bond Fund's policy is to pay each year as
federal exempt-interest dividends substantially all of its Municipal
Obligations interest income net of certain deductions. In order for the Fund
to pay exempt-interest dividends with respect to any taxable year, at the
close of each quarter of its taxable year at least 50% of the aggregate value
of the Fund's assets must consist of exempt-interest obligations. After the
close of its taxable year, the Fund will notify its shareholders of the
portion of the dividends paid by it which constitutes an exempt-interest
dividend with respect to such taxable year. However, the aggregate amount of
dividends so designated by the Fund cannot exceed the excess of the amount of
interest exempt from tax under Section 103 of the Code received by the Fund
during the taxable year over any amounts disallowed as deductions under
Sections 265 and 171(a)(2) of the Code. The percentage of total dividends paid
by the Fund with respect to any taxable year which qualify as federal
exempt-interest dividends will be the same for all shareholders receiving
dividends for such year.
A percentage of the interest on indebtedness incurred by a
shareholder to purchase or carry a Municipal Bond Fund's shares, equal to the
percentage of the total non-capital gain dividends distributed during the
shareholder's taxable year that are exempt-interest dividends, is not
deductible for federal income tax purposes.
MANAGEMENT
Trustees and Officers of the Trust
The Trustees and executive officers of the Trust, their ages
and their principal occupations for the last five years are set forth in the
Prospectus. Each Trustee has an address at The Woodward Funds, c/o NBD Bank,
611 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, Michigan 48226. Each Trustee also serves as a
trustee of The Woodward Variable Annuity Fund, a registered investment Company
advised by the Investment Advisers.
For so long as the plan described in the section captioned
"Distribution and Shareholder Services Plans" remains in effect, the Trustees
of the Trust who are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as defined in the
1940 Act, will be selected and nominated by the Trustees who are not
"interested persons" of the Trust.
Each Trustee receives from the Trust and The Woodward Variable
Annuity Fund a total annual fee of $17,000 and a fee of $2,000 for each Board
of Trustees meeting attended. The Chairman is entitled to additional
compensation of $4,250 per year for his services to the Trusts in that
capacity. These fees are allocated among the investment portfolios of the
Trust and The Woodward Variable Annuity Fund based on their relative net
assets. All Trustees are reimbursed for out of pocket expenses incurred in
connection with attendance at meetings. Drinker Biddle & Reath, of which Mr.
McConnel is a partner, receives legal fees as counsel to the Trust.

Prior to January 17, 1995, FNBC provided management services to
the Managed Assets Conservative, Income, Municipal Bond and Intermediate
Municipal Bond Funds pursuant to a management agreement (the "Prior Management
Agreement"). Under the terms of the Prior Management Agreement, the Funds
agreed to pay FNBC a monthly fee at the annual rate of .65%, .60%, .40% and
..40% of the value of each respective Fund's average daily net assets. For the
fiscal years ended January 31, 1993 and 1994 and the period from February 1,
1994 through January 17, 1995, no fees were paid by the Funds to FNBC pursuant
to various undertakings by FNBC.
Investment decisions for the Trust and other fiduciary accounts
are made by NBD and FCIMCO's respective trust investment divisions solely from
the standpoint of the independent interest of the Trust and such other
fiduciary accounts. NBD and FCIMCO's respective trust investment divisions
perform independent analyses of publicly available information, the results of
which are not made publicly available. In making investment decisions for the
Trust, personnel of NBD and FCIMCO's respective trust investment divisions do
not obtain information from any other division or department of the Investment
Advisers or otherwise, which is not publicly available. NBD and FCIMCO's
respective trust investment divisions executes transactions for the Trust only
with unaffiliated dealers but such dealers may be customers of other divisions
of the Investment Advisers. The Investment Advisers may make bulk purchases of
securities for the Trust and for other customer accounts (but not for its own
investment portfolio), in which case the Trust will be charged a pro rata
share of the transaction costs incurred in making the bulk purchase. See
"Investment Objectives, Policies and Risk Factors - Portfolio Transactions"
above.
NBD and FCIMCO have agreed as Investment Advisers that they will
reimburse the Trust such portions of its fees as may be required to satisfy
any expense limitations imposed by state securities laws or other applicable
laws. Restrictive limitations may be imposed on the Trust as a result of
changes in current state laws and regulations in those states where the Trust
has qualified its shares, or by a decision of the Trustees to qualify the
shares in other states having restrictive expense limitations. To the Trust's
knowledge, of the expense limitations in effect on the date of this Additional
Statement none is more restrictive than two and one-half percent (2-1/2%) of
the first $30 million of a Fund's average annual net assets, two percent (2%)
of the next $70 million of the average
-32-
<PAGE>
annual net assets and one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) of the remaining
average annual net assets.
Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Investment
Advisers are obligated to manage the investment of each Fund's assets in
accordance with applicable laws and regulations, including, to the extent
applicable, the regulations and rulings of the various regulatory governmental
bank agencies.
The Investment Advisers will not accept Trust shares as
collateral for a loan which is for the purpose of purchasing Trust shares, and
will not make loans to the Trust. Inadvertent overdrafts of the Trust's
account with the Custodian occasioned by clerical error or by failure of a
shareholder to provide available funds in connection with the purchase of
shares will not be deemed to be the making of a loan to the Trust by the
Investment Advisers.
Under the Advisory Agreement, the Investment Advisers are not
liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by
the Trust in connection with the performance of such Agreement, except a loss
resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of
compensation for services or a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence on the part of the Investment Advisers in the
performance of their duties or from its reckless disregard of its duties and
obligations under the Agreement.
Administrators
Pursuant to an Administration Agreement dated as of April 12,
1996 with the Trust, FCIMCO, NBD and BISYS assist in all aspects of the
Trust's operations, other than providing investment advice, subject to the
overall authority of the Trust's Board in accordance with Massachusetts law.
Under the terms of the Administration Agreement, FCIMCO, NBD and BISYS are
entitled jointly to a monthly administration fee at the annual rate of .15% of
each Fund's average daily net assets.
For the fiscal period ended December 31, 1995, except as
otherwise noted, each of the Managed Assets Conservative, Equity Income,
Growth, Small-Cap Opportunity, Income, International Bond, Managed Bond and
Intermediate Managed Bond Funds paid FCIMCO fees for administrative services,
under the Funds' prior administration agreement, as follows:

-33-
<PAGE>
Municipal Bond Fund $310,972 $0

</TABLE>
The Trust has agreed that neither FCIMCO, NBD nor BISYS will be
liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by
the Trust in connection with the matters to which the agreement with FCIMCO,
NBD or BISYS relates, except for a loss resulting from willful misfeasance,
bad faith or gross negligence on the part of FCIMCO, NBD or BISYS in the
performance of their obligations or from reckless disregard by any of them of
their obligations and duties under the Administration Agreement.
In addition, the Administration Agreement provides that if, in
any fiscal year, the aggregate expenses of a Fund exceed the expense
limitation of any state having jurisdiction over the Fund, FCIMCO, NBD and
BISYS will bear such excess expense to the extent required by state law.
The aggregate of the fees payable to FCIMCO, NBD and BISYS is not
subject to reduction as the value of the Fund's net assets increases.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plans
As stated in the Prospectus, the Trust may enter into Servicing
Agreements with Service Agents which may include the Investment Advisers and
their affiliates. The Servicing Agreements provide that the Service Agents
will render shareholder administrative support services to their customers who
are the beneficial owners of Fund shares in consideration for the Funds'
payment of up to .25% (on an annualized basis) of the average daily net asset
value of the shares beneficially owned by such customers and held by the
Service Agents and, at the Trust's option, it may reimburse the Service
Agents' out-of-pocket expenses. Such services may include: (i) processing
dividend and distribution payments from a Fund; (ii) providing information
periodically to customers showing their share positions; (iii) arranging for
bank wires; (iv) responding to customer inquiries; (v) providing subaccounting
with respect to shares beneficially owned by customers or the information
necessary for such subaccounting; (vi) forwarding shareholder communications;
(vii) processing share exchange and redemption requests from customers; (viii)
assisting customers in changing dividend options, account designations and
addresses; and (ix) other similar services requested by the Trust. Banks
acting as Service Agents are prohibited from engaging in any activity
primarily intended to result in the sale of Fund shares. However, Service
Agents other than banks may be requested to provide marketing assistance
(e.g., forwarding sales literature and advertising to their customers) in
connection with the distribution of Fund shares.
Rule 12b-1 (the "Rule") adopted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the 1940 Act provides, among other things, that an investment
company may bear expenses of distributing its shares only pursuant to a plan
adopted in accordance with the Rule. The Trust's Board of Trustees has adopted
such a plan (the "Plan") with respect to
-34-
<PAGE>
each Fund's Class B Shares, pursuant to which each Fund pays the Distributor a
fee of up to 0.75% of the average daily net asset value attributable to such
Shares for advertising, marketing and distributing such Shares and for the
provision of certain services to the holders of such Shares. Under the Plan,
the Distributor may make payments to certain financial institutions,
securities dealers and other financial industry professionals (collectively,
"Service Agents") in respect of these services. The Board of Trustees believes
that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit each Fund and
the holders of such Shares.
The Board of Trustees reviews, at least quarterly, a written
report of the amounts expended under the Plan and in connection with the
Trust's arrangements with Service Agents and the purposes for which the
expenditures were made. In addition, such arrangements are approved annually
by a majority of the Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are
not "interested persons" of the Trust as defined in the 1940 Act and have no
direct or indirect financial interest in such arrangements (the "Disinterested
Trustees").
Any material amendment to the Plan and the Trust's arrangements
with Service Agents under the Shareholder Servicing Agreements must be
approved by a majority of the Board of Trustees (including a majority of the
Disinterested Trustees).
As stated in the Prospectus for the Funds, the Trust has
implemented the Servicing Plan described above with respect to Class A and
Class B shares of the Funds only and the Plan with respect to Class B shares
of the Funds only. The Trust will enter into shareholder servicing agreements

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON PERFORMANCE
From time to time, the total return of each class of shares of
each Fund and the yield of each class of shares of the Asset Allocation, Bond
and Municipal Bond Funds for various periods may be quoted in advertisements,
shareholder reports or other communications to shareholders. Performance
information is generally available by calling (800) 688-3350.
Yield Calculations. A Fund's yield is calculated by dividing
the Fund's net investment income per share (as described below) earned during
a 30-day period by the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the
period and annualizing the result on a semi-annual basis by adding one to the
quotient, raising the sum to the power of six, subtracting one from the result
and then doubling the difference. A Fund's net investment income per share
earned during the period is based on the average daily number of shares
outstanding during the period entitled to receive dividends and includes
dividends and interest earned during the period minus expenses accrued for the
period, net of reimbursements.
This calculation can be expressed as follows:
a-b
6
Yield = 2 [(----- + 1) - 1]
cd
Where: a = dividends and interest earned during the period.
b = expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements).
c = the average daily number of shares
outstanding during the period that were
entitled to receive dividends.
d = maximum offering price per share on the last day of the
period.
For the purpose of determining net investment income earned
during the period (variable "a" in the formula), dividend income on equity
securities held by a Fund is recognized by accruing 1/360 of the stated
dividend rate of the security each day that the security is in the portfolio.
Each Fund calculates interest earned on any debt obligations held in its
portfolio by computing the yield to maturity of each obligation held by it
based on the market value of the obligation (including actual accrued
interest) at the close of business on
-38-
<PAGE>
the last business day of each month, or, with respect to obligations purchased
during the month, the purchase price (plus actual accrued interest), and
dividing the result by 360 and multiplying the quotient by the market value of
the obligation (including actual accrued interest) in order to determine the
interest income on the obligation for each day of the subsequent month that
the obligation is in the portfolio. For purposes of this calculation, it is
assumed that each month contains 30 days. The maturity of an obligation with a
call provision is the next call date on which the obligation reasonably may be
expected to be called or, if none, the maturity date. With respect to debt
obligations purchased at a discount or premium, the formula generally calls
for amortization of the discount or premium. The amortization schedule will be
adjusted monthly to reflect changes in the market values of such debt
obligations.
Undeclared earned income may be subtracted from the maximum
offering price per share (variable "d" in the formula). Undeclared earned
income is the net investment income which, at the end of the 30-day base
period, has not been declared as a dividend, but is reasonably expected to be
and is declared as a dividend shortly thereafter.
For the 30-day period ended December 31, 1995, the yields,
calculated as set forth above, for the Managed Assets Conservative, Managed
Assets Balanced, Equity Income, Intermediate Bond, Bond, Short Bond, Income,
International Bond, Municipal Bond, Intermediate Municipal Bond and Michigan
Municipal Bond Funds were as follows:

In addition, the Municipal Bond Funds may advertise their
standardized "tax-equivalent yield," which is computed by: (a) dividing the
portion of the yield (as calculated above) that is exempt from income tax by
one minus a stated income tax rate; and (b) adding the figure resulting from
(a) above to that portion, if any, of the yield that is not tax-exempt.

The tax-equivalent yields for the Municipal Bond Funds for the
30-day period ended December 31, 1995 (assuming a 39.6% federal tax rate for
each Fund and a 4.4% Michigan income tax rate for the Michigan Municipal Fond
Fund) were as follows:

</TABLE>
Total Return Calculations. Each Fund computes its "average
annual total return" for a class by determining the average annual compounded
rates of return during specified periods that equate the initial amount
invested to the ending redeemable value of such investment. This is done by
dividing the ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 initial payment
by $1,000 and raising the quotient to a power equal to one divided by the
number of years (or fractional portion thereof) covered by the computation and
subtracting one from the result. This calculation can be expressed as follows:
ERV 1/n
T = [(-----) - 1]
P
Where: T = average annual total return.
ERV = ending redeemable value at the end of
the period covered by the computation of a
hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the
beginning of the period.
P = hypothetical initial payment of $1,000.
n = period covered by the computation, expressed in
terms of years.
The Funds compute their aggregate total returns for each class
by determining the aggregate rates of return during specified periods that
likewise equate the initial amount invested to the ending redeemable value of
such investment. The formula for calculating aggregate total return is as
follows:
ERV
T = (------) - 1
P
-40-
<PAGE>
The calculations of average annual total return and aggregate
total return assume the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain
distributions on the reinvestment dates during the period, and include all
recurring fees charged to all shareholder accounts, assuming an account size
equal to a Fund's mean (or median) account size for any fees that vary with
the size of the account. The ending redeemable value (variable "ERV" in each
formula) is determined by assuming complete redemption of the hypothetical
investment and the deduction of all nonrecurring charges at the end of the
period covered by the computation. Each Fund's average annual total return may
reflect the deduction of the maximum sales load imposed on purchases.
The average annual total returns for the Funds for the one year
period ended December 31, 1995 (if applicable) and the period since
commencement of operations are shown below:

The Funds may also from time to time include in advertisements,
sales literature, communications to shareholders and other materials
("Literature") total return figures that are not calculated according to the
formulas set forth above in order to compare more accurately a Fund's
performance with other measures of investment return. For example, in
comparing the Funds' total returns with data published by Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc., CDA Investment Technologies, Inc. or Weisenberger Investment
Company Service, or with the performance of an index, the Funds may calculate
their returns for the period of time specified in the advertisement or
communication by assuming the investment of $10,000 in shares and assuming the
reinvestment date. Percentage increases are determined by subtracting the
initial value of the investment from the ending value and by dividing the
remainder by the beginning value. The Funds do not, for these purposes, deduct
from the initial value invested any amount representing sales charges. The
Funds will, however, disclose the maximum sales charge and will also disclose
that the performance data does not reflect sales charges and that inclusion of
sales charges would reduce the performance quoted.
From time to time, references to the Funds may appear in
advertisements and sales literature for certain products or services, offered
by the Investment Advisers, their affiliates or others, through which it is
possible to invest in one or more of the Funds, such as the Investment
Architect wrap account, the Pathmaker variable annuity, and First Choice and
First Choice Select 401(k) products.
The Funds may also from time to time include discussions or
illustrations of the effects of compounding in advertisements. "Compounding"
refers to the fact that, if dividends or other distributions on a Fund
investment are reinvested by being paid in additional Fund shares, any future
income or capital appreciation of a Fund would increase the value, not only of
the original Fund investment, but also of the additional Fund shares received
through reinvestment. As a result, the value of the Fund investment would
increase more quickly than if dividends or other distributions had been paid
in cash.
The Funds may also include discussions or illustrations of the
potential investment goals of a prospective investor, investment management
strategies, techniques, policies or investment suitability of a Fund (such as
value investing, market timing, dollar cost averaging, asset allocation,
constant ratio transfer, automatic accounting rebalancing, the advantages and
disadvantages of investing in tax-deferred and taxable instruments), economic
conditions, the relationship between sectors of the economy and the economy as
a whole,
-43-
<PAGE>
various securities markets, the effects of inflation and historical
performance of various asset classes, including but not limited to, stocks,
bonds and Treasury bills. From time to time advertisements or communications
to shareholders may summarize the substance of information contained in
shareholder reports (including the investment composition of a Fund), as well
as the view of the Trust as to current market, economy, trade and interest
rate trends, legislative, regulatory and monetary developments, investment
strategies and related matters believed to be of relevance to a Fund. The
Funds may also include in advertisements charts, graphs or drawings which
compare the investment objective, return potential, relative stability and/or
growth possibilities of the Fund and/or other mutual funds, or illustrate the
potential risks and rewards of investment in various investment vehicles,
including but not limited to, stocks, bonds, treasury bills and shares of a
Fund. In addition, advertisements or shareholder communications may include a
discussion of certain attributes or benefits to be derived by an investment in
a Fund and/or other mutual funds, shareholder profiles and hypothetical
investor scenarios, timely information on financial management, tax and
retirement planning and investment alternatives to certificates of deposit and
other financial instruments. Such advertisements or communicators may include
symbols, headlines or other material which highlight or summarize the
information discussed in more detail therein.

APPENDIX A
Commercial Paper Ratings
A Standard & Poor's commercial paper rating is a current assessment
of the likelihood of timely payment of debt considered short-term in the
relevant market. The following summarizes the rating categories used by
Standard and Poor's for commercial paper:
"A-1" - Issue's degree of safety regarding timely payment is
strong. Those issues determined to possess extremely strong safety
characteristics are denoted "A-1+."
"A-2" - Issue's capacity for timely payment is satisfactory.
However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues designated
"A-1."
"A-3" - Issue has an adequate capacity for timely payment. It is,
however, somewhat more vulnerable to the adverse effects of changes in
circumstances than an obligation carrying a higher designation.
"B" - Issue has only a speculative capacity for timely payment.
"C" - Issue has a doubtful capacity for payment.
"D" - Issue is in payment default.
Moody's commercial paper ratings are opinions of the ability of
issuers to repay punctually promissory obligations not having an original
maturity in excess of 9 months. The following summarizes the rating categories
used by Moody's for commercial paper:
"Prime-1" - Issuer or related supporting institutions are
considered to have a superior capacity for repayment of short-term promissory
obligations. Prime-1 repayment capacity will normally be evidenced by the
following characteristics: leading market positions in well established
industries; high rates of return on funds employed; conservative
capitalization structures with moderate reliance on debt and ample asset
protection; broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial charges and
high internal cash generation; and well established access to a range of
financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.
"Prime-2" - Issuer or related supporting institutions are
considered to have a strong capacity for repayment of short-term promissory
obligations. This will normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics
cited above but to a lesser degree. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while
sound, will be more subject to variation. Capitalization

characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more affected by external
conditions. Ample alternative liquidity is maintained.
"Prime-3" - Issuer or related supporting institutions have an
acceptable capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. The
effects of industry characteristics and market composition may be more
pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result in changes in
the level of debt protection measurements and the requirement for relatively
high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is maintained.
"Not Prime" - Issuer does not fall within any of the Prime rating
categories.
The three rating categories of Duff & Phelps for investment grade
commercial paper and short-term debt are "D-1," "D-2" and "D-3." Duff & Phelps
employs three designations, "D-1+," "D-1" and "D-1-," within the highest
rating category. The following summarizes the rating categories used by Duff &
Phelps for commercial paper:
"D-1+" - Debt possesses highest certainty of timely payment.
Short-term liquidity, including internal operating factors and/or access to
alternative sources of funds, is outstanding, and safety is just below
risk-free U.S. Treasury short-term obligations.
"D-1" - Debt possesses very high certainty of timely payment.
Liquidity factors are excellent and supported by good fundamental protection
factors. Risk factors are minor.
"D-1-" - Debt possesses high certainty of timely payment. Liquidity
factors are strong and supported by good fundamental protection factors. Risk
factors are very small.
"D-2" - Debt possesses good certainty of timely payment. Liquidity
factors and company fundamentals are sound. Although ongoing funding needs may
enlarge total financing requirements, access to capital markets is good. Risk
factors are small.
"D-3" - Debt possesses satisfactory liquidity, and other protection
factors qualify issue as investment grade. Risk factors are larger and subject
to more variation.
Nevertheless, timely payment is expected.
"D-4" - Debt possesses speculative investment characteristics.
Liquidity is not sufficient to ensure against disruption in debt service.
Operating factors and market access may be subject to a high degree of
variation.
"D-5" - Issuer has failed to meet scheduled principal and/or
interest payments.
Fitch short-term ratings apply to debt obligations that are payable
on demand or have original maturities of generally up to three years. The
following summarizes the rating categories used by Fitch for short-term
obligations:
A-2
<PAGE>
"F-1+" - Securities possess exceptionally strong credit quality.
Issues assigned this rating are regarded as having the strongest degree of
assurance for timely payment.
"F-1" - Securities possess very strong credit quality. Issues
assigned this rating reflect an assurance of timely payment only slightly less
in degree than issues rated "F-1+."
"F-2" - Securities possess good credit quality. Issues assigned
this rating have a satisfactory degree of assurance for timely payment, but
the margin of safety is not as great as the "F-1+" and "F-1" categories.
"F-3" - Securities possess fair credit quality. Issues assigned
this rating have characteristics suggesting that the degree of assurance for
timely payment is adequate; however, near-term adverse changes could cause
these securities to be rated below investment grade.
"F-S" - Securities possess weak credit quality. Issues assigned
this rating have characteristics suggesting a minimal degree of assurance for
timely payment and are vulnerable to near-term adverse changes in financial
and economic conditions.
"D" - Securities are in actual or imminent payment default.
Fitch may also use the symbol "LOC" with its short-term ratings to
indicate that the rating is based upon a letter of credit issued by a
commercial bank.
Thomson BankWatch short-term ratings assess the likelihood of an
untimely or incomplete payment of principal or interest of unsubordinated
instruments having a maturity of one year or less which are issued by United
States commercial banks, thrifts and non-bank banks; non-United States banks;
and broker-dealers. The following summarizes the ratings used by Thomson
BankWatch:
"TBW-1" - This designation represents Thomson BankWatch's highest
rating category and indicates a very high degree of likelihood that principal
and interest will be paid on a timely basis.
"TBW-2" - This designation indicates that while the degree of
safety regarding timely payment of principal and interest is strong, the
relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues rated "TBW-1."
"TBW-3" - This designation represents the lowest investment grade
category and indicates that while the debt is more susceptible to adverse
developments (both internal and external) than obligations with higher
ratings, capacity to service principal and interest in a timely fashion is
considered adequate.
A-3
<PAGE>
"TBW-4" - This designation indicates that the debt is regarded as
non-investment grade and therefore speculative.
IBCA assesses the investment quality of unsecured debt with an
original maturity of less than one year which is issued by bank holding
companies and their principal bank subsidiaries. The following summarizes the
rating categories used by IBCA for short-term debt ratings:
"A1+" - Obligations supported by the highest capacity for timely
repayment.
"A1" - Obligations are supported by the highest capacity for timely
repayment.
"A2" - Obligations are supported by a satisfactory capacity for
timely repayment, although such capacity may be susceptible to adverse changes
in business, economic or financial conditions.
"A3" - Obligations are supported by a satisfactory capacity for
timely repayment. Such capacity is more susceptible to adverse changes in
business, economic or financial conditions than for obligations in higher
categories.
"B" - Obligations for which the capacity for timely repayment is
susceptible to adverse changes in business, economic or financial conditions.
"C" - Obligations for which there is an inadequate capacity to
ensure timely repayment.
"D" - Obligations which have a high risk of default or which are
currently in default.
Corporate and Municipal Long-Term Debt Ratings
The following summarizes the ratings used by Standard & Poor's for
corporate and municipal debt:
"AAA" - This designation represents the highest rating assigned by
Standard & Poor's to a debt obligation and indicates an extremely strong
capacity to pay interest and repay principal.
"AA" - Debt is considered to have a very strong capacity to pay
interest and repay principal and differs from AAA issues only in small degree.
"A" - Debt is considered to have a strong capacity to pay interest
and repay principal although such issues are somewhat more susceptible to the
adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt
in higher-rated categories.
A-4
<PAGE>
"BBB" - Debt is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
interest and repay principal. Whereas such issues normally exhibit adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances
are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay
principal for debt in this category than in higher-rated categories.
"BB," "B," "CCC," "CC" and "C" - Debt is regarded, on balance, as
predominantly speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay
principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. "BB" indicates the
lowest degree of speculation and "C" the highest degree of speculation. While
such debt will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these
are outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse
conditions.
"BB" - Debt has less near-term vulnerability to default than other
speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure
to adverse business, financial or economic conditions which could lead to
inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments. The "BB"
rating category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is
assigned an actual or implied "BBB-" rating.
"B" - Debt has a greater vulnerability to default but currently has
the capacity to meet interest payments and principal repayments. Adverse
business, financial or economic conditions will likely impair capacity or
willingness to pay interest and repay principal. The "B" rating category is
also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or
implied "BB" or "BB-" rating.
"CCC" - Debt has a currently identifiable vulnerability to default,
and is dependent upon favorable business, financial and economic conditions to
meet timely payment of interest and repayment of principal. In the event of
adverse business, financial or economic conditions, it is not likely to have
the capacity to pay interest and repay principal. The "CCC" rating category is
also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or
implied "B" or "B-" rating.
"CC" - This rating is typically applied to debt subordinated to
senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied "CCC" rating.
"C" - This rating is typically applied to debt subordinated to
senior debt which is assigned an actual or implied "CCC-" debt rating. The "C"
rating may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition has been
filed, but debt service payments are continued.
"CI" - This rating is reserved for income bonds on which no
interest is being paid.
"D" - Debt is in payment default. This rating is used when interest
payments or principal payments are not made on the date due, even if the
applicable grace period has not expired, unless S & P believes that such
payments will be made during such grace
A-5
<PAGE>
period. "D" rating is also used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition if
debt service payments are jeopardized.
PLUS (+) OR MINUS (-) - The ratings from "AA" through "CCC" may be
modified by the addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing
within the major rating categories.
"r" - This rating is attached to highlight derivative, hybrid, and
certain other obligations that S & P believes may experience high volatility
or high variability in expected returns due to non-credit risks. Examples of
such obligations are: securities whose principal or interest return is indexed
to equities, commodities, or currencies; certain swaps and options; and
interest only and principal only mortgage securities.
The following summarizes the ratings used by Moody's for corporate and
municipal long-term debt:
"Aaa" - Bonds are judged to be of the best quality. They carry the
smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as "gilt
edged." Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally
stable margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements
are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to
impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.
"Aa" - Bonds are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
Together with the "Aaa" group they comprise what are generally known as
high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of
protection may not be as large as in "Aaa" securities or fluctuation of
protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements
present which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in "Aaa"
securities.
"A" - Bonds possess many favorable investment attributes and are to
be considered as upper medium-grade obligations. Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present
which suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.
"Baa" - Bonds considered medium-grade obligations, i.e., they are
neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and principal
security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may
be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of
time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have
speculative characteristics as well.
"Ba," "B," "Caa," "Ca," and "C" - Bonds that possess one of these
ratings provide questionable protection of interest and principal ("Ba"
indicates some speculative elements; "B" indicates a general lack of
characteristics of desirable investment; "Caa" represents a poor standing;
"Ca" represents obligations which are speculative in a high degree; and "C"
represents the lowest rated class of bonds). "Caa," "Ca" and "C" bonds may be
in default.
A-6
<PAGE>
Con. (---) - Bonds for which the security depends upon the
completion of some act or the fulfillment of some condition are rated
conditionally. These are bonds secured by (a) earnings of projects under
construction, (b) earnings of projects unseasoned in operation experience, (c)
rentals which begin when facilities are completed, or (d) payments to which
some other limiting condition attaches. Parenthetical rating denotes probable
credit stature upon completion of construction or elimination of basis of
condition.
(P)... - When applied to forward delivery bonds, indicates that the
rating is provisional pending delivery of the bonds. The rating may be revised
prior to delivery if changes occur in the legal documents or the underlying
credit quality of the bonds.
The following summarizes the long-term debt ratings used by Duff &
Phelps for corporate and municipal long-term debt:
"AAA" - Debt is considered to be of the highest credit quality. The
risk factors are negligible, being only slightly more than for risk-free U.S.
Treasury debt.
"AA" - Debt is considered of high credit quality. Protection
factors are strong. Risk is modest but may vary slightly from time to time
because of economic conditions.
"A" - Debt possesses protection factors which are average but
adequate. However, risk factors are more variable and greater in periods of
economic stress.
"BBB" - Debt possesses below average protection factors but such
protection factors are still considered sufficient for prudent investment.
Considerable variability in risk is present during economic cycles.
"BB," "B," "CCC," "DD," and "DP" - Debt that possesses one of these
ratings is considered to be below investment grade. Although below investment
grade, debt rated "BB" is deemed likely to meet obligations when due. Debt
rated "B" possesses the risk that obligations will not be met when due. Debt
rated "CCC" is well below investment grade and has considerable uncertainty as
to timely payment of principal, interest or preferred dividends. Debt rated
"DD" is a defaulted debt obligation, and the rating "DP" represents preferred
stock with dividend arrearages.
To provide more detailed indications of credit quality, the "AA,"
"A," "BBB," "BB" and "B" ratings may be modified by the addition of a plus (+)
or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within these major categories.
The following summarizes the highest four ratings used by Fitch for
corporate and municipal bonds:
"AAA" - Bonds considered to be investment grade and of the highest
credit quality. The obligor has an exceptionally strong ability to pay
interest and repay principal, which is unlikely to be affected by reasonably
foreseeable events.
A-7
<PAGE>
"AA" - Bonds considered to be investment grade and of very high
credit quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is
very strong, although not quite as strong as bonds rated "AAA." Because bonds
rated in the "AAA" and "AA" categories are not significantly vulnerable to
foreseeable future developments, short-term debt of these issuers is generally
rated "F-1+."
"A" - Bonds considered to be investment grade and of high credit
quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is
considered to be strong, but may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in
economic conditions and circumstances than bonds with higher ratings.
"BBB" - Bonds considered to be investment grade and of satisfactory
credit quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is
considered to be adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions and
circumstances, however, are more likely to have an adverse impact on these
bonds, and therefore, impair timely payment. The likelihood that the ratings
of these bonds will fall below investment grade is higher than for bonds with
higher ratings.
"BB," "B," "CCC," "CC," "C," "DDD," "DD," and "D" - Bonds that
possess one of these ratings are considered by Fitch to be speculative
investments. The ratings "BB" to "C" represent Fitch's assessment of the
likelihood of timely payment of principal and interest in accordance with the
terms of obligation for bond issues not in default. For defaulted bonds, the
rating "DDD" to "D" is an assessment of the ultimate recovery value through
reorganization or liquidation.
To provide more detailed indications of credit quality, the Fitch
ratings from and including "AA" to "C" may be modified by the addition of a
plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within these major rating
categories.
IBCA assesses the investment quality of unsecured debt with an
original maturity of more than one year which is issued by bank holding
companies and their principal bank subsidiaries. The following summarizes the
rating categories used by IBCA for long-term debt ratings:
"AAA" - Obligations for which there is the lowest expectation of
investment risk. Capacity for timely repayment of principal and interest is
substantial such that adverse changes in business, economic or financial
conditions are unlikely to increase investment risk substantially.
"AA" - Obligations for which there is a very low expectation of
investment risk. Capacity for timely repayment of principal and interest is
substantial. Adverse changes in business, economic or financial conditions may
increase investment risk albeit not very significantly.
A-8
<PAGE>
"A" - Obligations for which there is a low expectation of
investment risk. Capacity for timely repayment of principal and interest is
strong, although adverse changes in business, economic or financial conditions
may lead to increased investment risk.
"BBB" - Obligations for which there is currently a low expectation
of investment risk. Capacity for timely repayment of principal and interest is
adequate, although adverse changes in business, economic or financial
conditions are more likely to lead to increased investment risk than for
obligations in other categories.
"BB," "B," "CCC," "CC," and "C" - Obligations are assigned one of
these ratings where it is considered that speculative characteristics are
present. "BB" represents the lowest degree of speculation and indicates a
possibility of investment risk developing. "C" represents the highest degree
of speculation and indicates that the obligations are currently in default.
IBCA may append a rating of plus (+) or minus (-) to a rating to
denote relative status within major rating categories.
Thomson BankWatch assesses the likelihood of an untimely repayment
of principal or interest over the term to maturity of long term debt and
preferred stock which are issued by United States commercial banks, thrifts
and non-bank banks; non-United States banks; and broker-dealers. The following
summarizes the rating categories used by Thomson BankWatch for long-term debt
ratings:
"AAA" - This designation represents the highest category assigned
by Thomson BankWatch to long-term debt and indicates that the ability to repay
principal and interest on a timely basis is extremely high.
"AA" - This designation indicates a very strong ability to repay
principal and interest on a timely basis with limited incremental risk
compared to issues rated in the highest category.
"A" - This designation indicates that the ability to repay
principal and interest is strong. Issues rated "A" could be more vulnerable to
adverse developments (both internal and external) than obligations with higher
ratings.
"BBB" - This designation represents Thomson BankWatch's lowest
investment grade category and indicates an acceptable capacity to repay
principal and interest. Issues rated "BBB" are, however, more vulnerable to
adverse developments (both internal and external) than obligations with higher
ratings.
"BB," "B," "CCC," and "CC," - These designations are assigned by
Thomson BankWatch to non-investment grade long-term debt. Such issues are
regarded as having speculative characteristics regarding the likelihood of
timely payment of principal and interest. "BB" indicates the lowest degree of
speculation and "CC" the highest degree of speculation.
A-9
<PAGE>
"D" - This designation indicates that the long-term debt is in
default.
PLUS (+) OR MINUS (-) - The ratings from "AAA" through "CC" may
include a plus or minus sign designation which indicates where within the
respective category the issue is placed.
Municipal Note Ratings
A Standard and Poor's rating reflects the liquidity concerns and
market access risks unique to notes due in three years or less. The following
summarizes the ratings used by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group for municipal
notes:
"SP-1" - The issuers of these municipal notes exhibit very strong
or strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Those issues determined to
possess overwhelming safety characteristics are given a plus (+) designation.
"SP-2" - The issuers of these municipal notes exhibit satisfactory
capacity to pay principal and interest.
"SP-3" - The issuers of these municipal notes exhibit speculative
capacity to pay principal and interest.
Moody's ratings for state and municipal notes and other short-term
loans are designated Moody's Investment Grade ("MIG") and variable rate demand
obligations are designated Variable Moody's Investment Grade ("VMIG"). Such
ratings recognize the differences between short-term credit risk and long-term
risk. The following summarizes the ratings by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
for short-term notes:
"MIG-1"/"VMIG-1" - Loans bearing this designation are of the best
quality, enjoying strong protection by established cash flows, superior
liquidity support or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for
refinancing.
"MIG-2"/"VMIG-2" - Loans bearing this designation are of high
quality, with margins of protection ample although not so large as in the
preceding group.
"MIG-3"/"VMIG-3" - Loans bearing this designation are of favorable
quality, with all security elements accounted for but lacking the undeniable
strength of the preceding grades. Liquidity and cash flow protection may be
narrow and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well
established.
"MIG-4"/"VMIG-4" - Loans bearing this designation are of adequate
quality, carrying specific risk but having protection commonly regarded as
required of an investment security and not distinctly or predominantly
speculative.
A-10
<PAGE>
"SG" - Loans bearing this designation are of speculative quality
and lack margins of protection.
Fitch and Duff & Phelps use the short-term ratings described under
Commercial Paper Ratings for municipal notes.

APPENDIX B
As stated in their Prospectus, each of the Funds may enter into
futures contracts and related options for hedging purposes.
I. Interest Rate Futures Contracts
Use of Interest Rate Futures Contracts. Bond prices are established
in both the cash market and the futures market. In the cash market, bonds are
purchased and sold with payment for the full purchase price of the bond being
made in cash, generally within five business days after the trade. In the
futures market, only a contract is made to purchase or sell a bond in the
future for a set price on a certain date. Historically, the prices for bonds
established in the futures markets have tended to move generally in the
aggregate in concert with the cash market prices and have maintained fairly
predictable relationships. Accordingly, a Fund may use interest rate futures
as a defense, or hedge, against anticipated interest rate changes and not for
speculation. As described below, this would include the use of futures
contract sales to hedge against expected increases in interest rates and
futures contract purchases to offset the impact of interest rate declines.
Description of Interest Rate Futures Contracts. An interest rate
futures contract sale would create an obligation by a Fund, as seller, to
deliver the specific type of financial instrument called for in the contract
at a specific future time for a specified price. A futures contract purchase
would create an obligation by a Fund, as purchaser, to take delivery of the
specific type of financial instrument at a specific future time at a specific
price. The specific securities delivered or taken, respectively, at settlement
date, would not be determined until at or near that date. The determination
would be in accordance with the rules of the exchange on which the futures
contract sale or purchase was made.
Although interest rate futures contracts by their terms call for
actual delivery or acceptance of securities, in most cases the contracts are
closed out before the settlement date without the making or taking of delivery
of securities. Closing out a futures contract sale is effected by a Fund's
entering into a futures contract purchase for the same aggregate amount of the
specific type of financial instrument and the same delivery date. If the price
in the sale exceeds the price in the offsetting purchase, the Fund is paid the
difference and thus realizes a gain. If the offsetting purchase price exceeds
the sale price, the Fund pays the difference and realizes a loss. Similarly,
the closing out of a futures contract purchase is effected by the Fund's
entering into a futures contract sale. If the offsetting sale price exceeds
the purchase price, the Fund realizes a gain, and if the purchase price
exceeds the offsetting sale price, the Fund realizes a loss.
Interest rate futures contracts are traded in an auction
environment on the floors of several exchanges - principally, the Chicago
Board of Trade, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the New York Futures
Exchange. The Fund would deal only in standardized contracts on recognized
exchanges. Each exchange guarantees performance
B-1
<PAGE>
under contract provisions through a clearing corporation, a nonprofit
organization managed by the exchange membership.
A public market now exists in futures contracts covering various
financial instruments including long-term United States Treasury Bonds and
Notes; three-month United States Treasury Bills; and ninety-day commercial
paper. A Fund may trade in any futures contract for which there exists a
public market, including, without limitation, the foregoing instruments.
Examples of Futures Contract Sale. A Fund would engage in an
interest rate futures contract sale to maintain the income advantage from
continued holding of a long-term bond while endeavoring to avoid part or all
of the loss in market value that would otherwise accompany a decline in
long-term securities prices. Assume that the market value of a certain
security in a Fund tends to move in concert with the futures market prices of
long-term United States Treasury bonds ("Treasury bonds"). The Investment
Advisers wish to hedge the current market value of this portfolio security
until some point in the future. Assume the portfolio security has a market
value of 100, and the Investment Advisers believe that, because of an
anticipated rise in interest rates, the value will decline to 95. The Fund
might enter into futures contract sales of Treasury bonds for an equivalent of
98. If the market value of the portfolio security does indeed decline from 100
to 95, the equivalent futures market price for the Treasury bonds might also
decline from 98 to 93.
In that case, the five-point loss in the market value of the
portfolio security would be offset by the five-point gain realized by closing
out the futures contract sale. Of course, the futures market price of Treasury
bonds might well decline to more than 93 or to less than 93 because of the
imperfect correlation between cash and futures prices mentioned below.
The Investment Advisers could be wrong in their forecast of
interest rates and the equivalent futures market price could rise above 98. In
this case, the market value of the portfolio securities, including the
portfolio security being hedged, would increase. The benefit of this increase
would be reduced by the loss realized on closing out the futures contract
sale.
If interest rate levels did not change, the Fund in the above
example might incur a loss of 2 points (which might be reduced by an
offsetting transaction prior to the settlement date). In each transaction,
transaction expenses would also be incurred.
Examples of Futures Contract Purchase. A Fund might engage in an
interest rate futures contract purchase when it is not fully invested in
long-term bonds but wishes to defer for a time the purchase of long-term bonds
in light of the availability of advantageous interim investments, e.g.,
shorter-term securities whose yields are greater than those available on
long-term bonds. A Fund's basic motivation would be to maintain for a time the
income advantage from investing in the short-term securities; the Fund would
be
B-2
<PAGE>
endeavoring at the same time to hedge the effect of all or part of an expected
increase in market price of the long-term bonds that the Fund may purchase.
For example, assume that the market price of a long-term bond that
the Fund may purchase, currently yielding 10%, tends to move in concert with
futures market prices of Treasury bonds. The Investment Advisers wish to hedge
the current market price (and thus 10% yield) of the long-term bond until the
time (four months away in this example) when it may purchase the bond. Assume
the long-term bond has a market price of 100, and the Investment Advisers
believe that, because of an anticipated fall in interest rates, the price will
have risen to 105 (and the yield will have dropped to about 9 1/2%) in four
months. A Fund might enter into futures contracts purchases of Treasury bonds
for an equivalent price of 98. At the same time, the Fund could, for example,
assign a pool of investments in short-term securities that are either maturing
in four months or earmarked for sale in four months, for purchase of the
long-term bond at an assumed market price of 100. Assume these short-term
securities are yielding 15%. If the market price of the long-term bond does
indeed rise from 100 to 105, the equivalent futures market price for Treasury
bonds might also rise from 98 to 103. In that case, the 5-point increase in
the price that the Fund pays for the long-term bond would be offset by the
5-point gain realized by closing out the futures contract purchase.
The Investment Advisers could be wrong in their forecast of
interest rates; long-term interest rates might rise to above 10%; and the
equivalent futures market price could fall below 98. If short-term rates at
the same time fall to 10% or below, it is possible that a Fund would continue
with its purchase program for long-term bonds. The market price of available
long-term bonds would have decreased. The benefit of this price decrease, and
thus yield increase, will be reduced by the loss realized on closing out the
futures contract purchase.
If, however, short-term rates remained above available long-term
rates, it is possible that a Fund would discontinue its purchase program for
long-term bonds. The yield on short-term securities in the portfolio,
including those originally in the pool assigned to the particular long-term
bond, would remain higher than yields on long-term bonds. The benefit of this
continued incremental income will be reduced by the loss realized on closing
out the futures contract purchase.
In each transaction, expenses would also be incurred.
II. Index Futures Contracts
A stock or bond index assigns relative values to the stocks or
bonds included in the index and the index fluctuates with changes in the
market values of the stocks or bonds included. Some stock index futures
contracts are based on broad market indices, such as the Standard & Poor's 500
or the New York Stock Exchange Composite Index. In contrast, certain exchanges
offer futures contracts on narrower market indices, such as the Standard &
Poor's 100 or indices based on an industry or market segment, such as oil and
gas stocks.
B-3
<PAGE>
Futures contracts are traded on organized exchanges regulated by the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission. Transactions on such exchanges are cleared through
a clearing corporation, which guarantees the performance of the parties to
each contract.
The Asset Allocation and Equity Funds may sell index futures
contracts in order to hedge against a decrease in market value of its
portfolio securities that might otherwise result from a market decline. A Fund
may do so either to hedge the value of its portfolio as a whole, or to hedge
against declines, occurring prior to sales of securities, in the value of the
securities to be sold. Conversely, the Funds may purchase index futures
contracts in anticipation of purchases of securities. In a substantial
majority of these transactions, the Funds may purchase such securities upon
termination of the long futures position, but a long futures position may be
terminated without a corresponding purchase of securities.
In addition, the Funds may utilize index futures contracts in
anticipation of changes in the composition of their portfolio holdings. For
example, in the event that a Fund expects to narrow the range of industry
groups represented in its holdings it may, prior to making purchases of the
actual securities, establish a long futures position based on a more
restricted index, such as an index comprised of securities of a particular
industry group. The Fund may also sell futures contracts in connection with
this strategy, in order to hedge against the possibility that the value of the
securities to be sold as part of the restructuring of the portfolio will
decline prior to the time of sale.
The following are examples of transactions in stock index futures
(net of commissions and premiums, if any).

III. Margin Payments
Unlike when a Fund purchases or sells a security, no price is
paid or received by the Fund upon the purchase or sale of a futures contract.
Initially, the Fund will be required to deposit with the broker or in a
segregated account with the Fund's Custodian an amount of cash or cash
equivalents, the value of which may vary but is generally equal to 10% or less
of the value of the contract. This amount is known as initial margin. The
nature of initial margin in futures transactions is different from that of
margin in security transactions in that futures contract margin does not
involve the borrowing of funds by the customer to finance the transactions.
Rather, the initial margin is in the nature of a performance bond or good
faith deposit on the contract which is returned to the Fund upon termination
of the futures contract assuming all contractual obligations have been
satisfied. Subsequent payments, called variation margin, to and from the
broker, will be made on a daily basis as the price of the underlying security
or index fluctuates making the long and short positions in the futures
contract more or less valuable, a process known as marking to the market. For
example, when a Fund has purchased a futures contract and the price of the
contract has risen in response to a rise in the underlying instruments, that
position will have increased in value and the Fund will be entitled to receive
from the broker a variation margin payment equal to that increase in value.
Conversely, where a Fund has purchased a futures contract and the price of the
future contract has declined in response to a decrease in the underlying
instruments, the position would be less valuable and the Fund would be
required to make a variation margin payment to the broker. At any time prior
to expiration of the futures contract, the Investment Advisers may elect to
close the position by taking an opposite position, subject to the availability
of a secondary market, which will operate to terminate the Fund's position in
the futures contract. A final determination of variation margin is then made,
additional cash is required to be paid by or released to the Fund, and the
Fund realizes a loss or gain.
IV. Risks of Transactions in Futures Contracts
There are several risks in connection with the use of futures
by a Fund as a hedging device. One risk arises because of the imperfect
correlation between movements in the price of the future and movements in the
price of the securities which are the subject of the hedge. The price of the
future may move more than or less than the price of the securities being
hedged. If the price of the future moves less than the price of the securities
which are the subject of the hedge, the hedge will not be fully effective but,
if the price of the securities being hedged has moved in an unfavorable
direction, the Fund would be in a better position than if it had not hedged at
all. If the price of the securities being hedged has moved in a favorable
direction, this advantage will be partially offset by the loss on the future.
If the price of the future moves more than the price of the hedged securities,
the Fund involved will experience either a loss or gain on the future which
will not be completely offset by movements in the price of the securities
which are the subject of the hedge. To compensate for the imperfect
correlation of movements in the price of securities being hedged and movements
in the price of futures contracts, a Fund may buy or sell futures contracts in
a greater dollar amount than the dollar amount of securities being hedged
B-7
<PAGE>
if the volatility over a particular time period of the prices of such
securities has been greater than the volatility over such time period of the
future, or if otherwise deemed to be appropriate by the Investment Advisers.
Conversely, a Fund may buy or sell fewer futures contracts if the volatility
over a particular time period of the prices of the securities being hedged is
less than the volatility over such time period of the futures contract being
used, or if otherwise deemed to be appropriate by the Investment Advisers. It
is also possible that, where a Fund has sold futures to hedge its portfolio
against a decline in the market, the market may advance and the value of
securities held by the Fund may decline. If this occurred, the Fund would lose
money on the future and also experience a decline in value in its portfolio
securities.
Where futures are purchased to hedge against a possible
increase in the price of securities before a Fund is able to invest its cash
(or cash equivalents) in securities (or options) in an orderly fashion, it is
possible that the market may decline instead; if the Fund then concludes not
to invest in securities or options at that time because of concern as to
possible further market decline or for other reasons, the Fund will realize a
loss on the futures contract that is not offset by a reduction in the price of
securities purchased.
In instances involving the purchase of futures contracts by a
Fund, an amount of cash and cash equivalents, equal to the market value of the
futures contracts (or options), will be deposited in a segregated account with
the Fund's Custodian and/or in a margin account with a broker to collateralize
the position and thereby ensure that the use of such futures is unleveraged.
In addition to the possibility that there may be an imperfect
correlation, or no correlation at all, between movements in the futures and
the securities being hedged, the price of futures may not correlate perfectly
with movement in the cash market due to certain market distortions. Rather
than meeting additional margin deposit requirements, investors may close
futures contracts through off-setting transactions which could distort the
normal relationship between the cash and futures markets. With respect to
financial futures contracts, the liquidity of the futures market depends on
participants entering into off-setting transactions rather than making or
taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery,
liquidity in the futures market could be reduced thus producing distortions.
From the point of view of speculators, the deposit requirements in the futures
market are less onerous than margin requirements in the securities market.
Therefore, increased participation by speculators in the futures market may
also cause temporary price distortions. Due to the possibility of price
distortion in the futures market, and because of the imperfect correlation
between the movements in the cash market and movements in the price of
futures, a correct forecast of general market trends or interest rate
movements by the Investment Advisers may still not result in a successful
hedging transaction over a short time frame.
Positions in futures may be closed out only on an exchange or
board of trade which provides a secondary market for such futures. Although a
Fund intends to purchase or sell futures only on exchanges or boards of trade
where there appear to be active secondary markets, there is no assurance that
a liquid secondary market on any exchange or board of
B-8
<PAGE>
trade will exist for any particular contract or at any particular time. In
such event, it may not be possible to close a futures investment position, and
in the event of adverse price movements, a Fund would continue to be required
to make daily cash payments of variation margin. However, in the event futures
contracts have been used to hedge portfolio securities, such securities will
not be sold until the futures contract can be terminated. In such
circumstances, an increase in the price of the securities, if any, may
partially or completely offset losses on the futures contract. However, as
described above, there is no guarantee that the price of the securities will
in fact correlate with the price movements in the futures contract and thus
provide an offset on a futures contract.
Further, it should be noted that the liquidity of a secondary
market in a futures contract may be adversely affected by "daily price
fluctuation limits" established by commodity exchanges which limit the amount
of fluctuation in a futures contract price during a single trading day. Once
the daily limit has been reached in the contract, no trades may be entered
into at a price beyond the limit, thus preventing the liquidation of open
futures positions.
Successful use of futures by a Fund is also subject to the
Investment Advisers' ability to predict correctly movements in the direction
of the market. For example, if a Fund has hedged against the possibility of a
decline in the market adversely affecting securities held in its portfolio and
securities prices increase instead, the Fund will lose part or all of the
benefit to the increased value of its securities which it has hedged because
it will have offsetting losses in its futures positions. In addition, in such
situations, if the Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities
to meet daily variation margin requirements. Such sales of securities may be,
but will not necessarily be, at increased prices which reflect the rising
market. A Fund may have to sell securities at a time when it may be
disadvantageous to do so.
V. Options on Futures Contracts
Each Fund may purchase options on the futures contracts
described above. A futures option gives the holder, in return for the premium
paid, the right to buy (call) from or sell (put) to the writer of the option a
futures contract at a specified price at any time during the period of the
option. Upon exercise, the writer of the option is obligated to pay the
difference between the cash value of the futures contract and the exercise
price. Like the buyer or seller of a futures contract, the holder, or writer,
of an option has the right to terminate its position prior to the scheduled
expiration of the option by selling, or purchasing, an option of the same
series, at which time the person entering into the closing transaction will
realize a gain or loss.
Investments in futures options involve some of the same
considerations that are involved in connection with investments in futures
contracts (for example, the existence of a liquid secondary market). In
addition, the purchase of an option also entails the risk that changes in the
value of the underlying futures contract will not be fully reflected in the
value of the option purchased. Depending on the pricing of the option compared
to either the
B-9
<PAGE>
futures contract upon which it is based, or upon the price of the securities
being hedged, an option may or may not be less risky than ownership of the
futures contract or such securities. In general, the market prices of options
can be expected to be more volatile than the market prices on the underlying
futures contract. Compared to the purchase or sale of futures contracts,
however, the purchase of call or put options on futures contracts may
frequently involve less potential risk to a Fund because the maximum amount at
risk is the premium paid for the options (plus transaction costs). Although
permitted by their investment policies, the Funds do not currently intend to
write futures options, and will not do so in the future absent any necessary
regulatory approvals.
VI. Accounting and Tax Treatment
Accounting for futures contracts and options will be in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Generally, futures contracts held by a Fund at the close of the
Fund's taxable year will be treated for federal income tax purposes as sold
for their fair market value on the last business day of such year, a process
known as "marking-to-market." Forty percent of any gain or loss resulting from
such constructive sale will be treated as short-term capital gain or loss and
60% of such gain or loss will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss
without regard to the length of time the Fund holds the futures contract ("the
40%-60% rule"). The amount of any capital gain or loss actually realized by a
Fund in a subsequent sale or other disposition of those futures contracts will
be adjusted to reflect any capital gain or loss taken into account by the Fund
in a prior year as a result of the constructive sale of the contracts. With
respect to futures contracts to sell, which will be regarded as parts of a
"mixed straddle" because their values fluctuate inversely to the values of
specific securities held by the Fund, losses as to such contracts to sell will
be subject to certain loss deferral rules which limit the amount of loss
currently deductible on either part of the straddle to the amount thereof
which exceeds the unrecognized gain (if any) with respect to the other part of
the straddle, and to certain wash sales regulations. Under short sales rules,
which will also be applicable, the holding period of the securities forming
part of the straddle will (if they have not been held for the long-term
holding period) be deemed not to begin prior to termination of the straddle.
With respect to certain futures contracts, deductions for interest and
carrying charges will not be allowed. Notwithstanding the rules described
above, with respect to futures contracts to sell which are properly identified
as such, a Fund may make an election which will exempt (in whole or in part)
those identified futures contracts from being treated for federal income tax
purposes as sold on the last business day of the Fund's taxable year, but
gains and losses will be subject to such short sales, wash sales, loss
deferral rules and the requirement to capitalize interest and carrying
charges. Under temporary regulations, a Fund would be allowed (in lieu of the
foregoing) to elect either (1) to offset gains or losses from portions which
are part of a mixed straddle by separately identifying each mixed straddle to
which such treatment applies, or (2) to establish a mixed straddle account for
which gains and losses would be recognized and offset on a periodic basis
during the taxable year. Under either election, the 40%-60% rule will apply to
the net gain or loss attributable to the futures contracts, but in the case of
a mixed straddle account election, not
B-10
<PAGE>
more than 50% of any net gain may be treated as long-term and no more than 40%
of any net loss may be treated as short-term. Options on futures generally
receive federal tax treatment similar to that described above.
Certain foreign currency contracts entered into by a Fund may
be subject to the "marking-to-market" process and the 40%-60% rule in a manner
similar to that described in the preceding paragraph for futures contracts. To
receive such federal income tax treatment, a foreign currency contract must
meet the following conditions: (1) the contract must require delivery of a
foreign currency of a type in which regulated futures contracts are traded or
upon which the settlement value of the contract depends; (2) the contract must
be entered into at arm's length at a price determined by reference to the
price in the interbank market; and (3) the contract must be traded in the
interbank market. The Treasury Department has broad authority to issue
regulations under the provisions respecting foreign currency contracts. As of
the date of this Additional Statement, the Treasury Department has not issued
any such regulations. Other foreign currency contracts entered into by a Fund
may result in the creation of one or more straddles for federal income tax
purposes, in which case certain loss deferral, short sales, and wash sales
rules and the requirement to capitalize interest and carrying charges may
apply.
Some of the Funds' investments may be subject to special rules
which govern the federal income tax treatment of certain transactions
denominated in terms of a currency other than the U.S. dollar or determined by
reference to the value of one or more currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
The types of transactions covered by the special rules include the following:
(1) the acquisition of, or becoming the obligor under, a bond or other debt
instrument (including, to the extent provided in Treasury regulations,
preferred stock); (2) the accruing of certain trade receivables and payables;
and (3) the entering into or acquisition of any forward contract, futures
contract, option or similar financial instrument. The disposition of a
currency other than the U.S. dollar by a U.S. taxpayer is also treated as a
transaction subject to the special currency rules. However, foreign
currency-related regulated futures contracts and nonequity options are
generally not subject to the special currency rules if they are or would be
treated as sold for their fair market value at year-end under the
marking-to-market rules, unless an election is made to have such currency
rules apply. With respect to transactions covered by the special rules,
foreign currency gain or loss is calculated separately from any gain or loss
on the underlying transaction and is normally taxable as ordinary gain or
loss. A taxpayer may elect to treat as capital gain or loss foreign currency
gain or loss arising from certain identified forward contracts, futures
contracts and options that are capital assets in the hands of the taxpayer and
which are not a part of a straddle. In accordance with Treasury regulations,
certain transactions that are part of a "section 988 hedging transaction" (as
defined in the Code and the Treasury regulations) may be integrated and
treated as a single transaction or otherwise treated consistently for purposes
of the Code. "Section 988 hedging transactions" are not subject to the
mark-to-market or loss deferral rules under the Code. Gain or loss
attributable to the foreign currency component of transactions engaged in by a
Fund which are not subject to the special currency rules (such as foreign
equity investments other than certain preferred stocks) will be
B-11
<PAGE>
treated as capital gain or loss and will not be segregated from the gain or
loss on the underlying transaction.
As described more fully in "Additional Information Concerning
Taxes", a regulated investment company must derive less than 30% of its gross
income from gains realized on the sale or other disposition of securities and
certain other investments held for less than three months. With respect to
futures contracts and other financial instruments subject to the
marking-to-market rules, the Internal Revenue Service has ruled in private
letter rulings that a gain realized from such a futures contract or financial
instrument will be treated as being derived from a security held for three
months or more (regardless of the actual period for which the contract or
instrument is held) if the gain arises as a result of a constructive sale
under the marking-to-market rules, and will be treated as being derived from a
security held for less than three months only if the contract or instrument is
terminated (or transferred) during the taxable year (other than by reason of
marking-to-market) and less than three months have elapsed between the date
the contract or instrument is acquired and the termination date. In
determining whether the 30% test is met for a taxable year, increases and
decreases in the value of each Fund's futures contracts and other investments
that qualify as part of a "designated hedge," as defined in the Code, may be
netted.

THE WOODWARD FUNDS
BALANCED FUND
PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS (Continued)
Notes to Portfolio of Investments
The Fund invests in securities whose value is derived from an underlying pool
of mortgages or consumer loans. Some of these securities are collateralized
mortgage obligations (CMOs). CMOs are debt securities issued by U.S.
government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders
which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture.
Descriptions of certain collateralized mortgage obligations are as follows:
Adjustable Rate (AR)
Inverse Floaters (IF) represent securities that pay interest at a rate that
increases (decreases) with a decline (increase) in a specified index.
Interest Only (IO) represent the right to receive the monthly interest
payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The face amount shown
represents the par value on the underlying pool. The yields on these
securities are generally higher than prevailing market yields on other
mortgage-backed securities because their cash flow patterns are more volatile
and there is a greater risk that the initial investment will not be fully
recouped. These securities are subject to accelerated principal paydowns as a
result of prepayments or refinancing of the underlying pool of mortgage
instruments. As a result, interest income may be reduced considerably.
High Coupon Bonds (HB) (a.k.a. "IOettes") represent the right to receive
interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgages with similar risks as
those associated with IO securities. Unlike IO's, the owner also has a right
to receive a very small portion of principal. The high interest rate results
from taking interest payments from other classes in the REMIC Trust and
allocating them to the small principal of the HB class.
Principal Only (PO) represents the right to receive the principal portion only
on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The market value of these securities
is extremely volatile in response to changes in market interest rates. As
prepayments on the underlying mortgages of these securities increase, the
yield on these securities increases.

THE WOODWARD FUNDS
EQUITY FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Organization and Commencement of Operations
The Woodward Funds (Woodward) was organized as a Massachusetts business
trust on April 21, 1987, and registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company. As of December 31, 1995,
Woodward consisted of seventeen separate series. The five Equity Funds (Equity
Funds) included in these financial statements are described below.
Woodward Growth/Value Fund
Woodward Opportunity Fund
Woodward Intrinsic Value Fund
Woodward Capital Growth Fund
Woodward Balanced Fund
The Growth/Value, Opportunity and Intrinsic Value Funds commenced
operations on June 1, 1991, the Balanced Fund commenced operations on
January 1, 1994, and the Capital Growth Fund commenced operations on
July 2, 1994.
The remaining two Woodward Equity Funds, the Equity Index and
International Equity Funds, are each included on separate stand alone
financial statements.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Equity Funds in preparation of the financial statements. The policies are
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for investment
companies. Following generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Investments
The Equity Funds value investment securities at market value which is
determined by a pricing service based upon quoted market prices or dealer
quotes. Securities for which market prices or dealer quotes are not readily
available are valued by the investment advisor, NBD Bank (NBD) in accordance
with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
Investment security purchases and sales are accounted for on the day
after trade date.
Woodward invests in securities subject to repurchase agreements. Such
transactions are entered into only with institutions included on the Federal
Reserve System's list of institutions with whom the Federal Reserve open
market desk will do business. NBD, acting under the supervision of the Board
of Trustees, has established the following additional policies and procedures
relating to Woodward's investments in securities subject to repurchase
agreements: 1) the value of the underlying collateral is required to equal or
exceed 102% of the funds advanced under the repurchase agreement including
accrued interest; 2) collateral is marked to market daily by NBD to assure its
value remains at least equal to 102% of the repurchase agreement amount; and
3) funds are not disbursed by Woodward or its agent unless collateral is
presented or acknowledged by the collateral custodian.
Investment Income
Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis adjusted for
amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt instruments. Bond
premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted as required by the Internal
Revenue Code. Premiums and discounts on mortgage-backed securities are
amortized/accreted using the effective interest rate method. As prepayments on
the underlying mortgages increase or decrease the expected life, the yield is
adjusted to amortize/accrete the security to its new expected life. Dividends
are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Federal Income Taxes
It is Woodward's policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M
of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute net investment income and realized gains to
its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required in
the accompanying financial statements.
FS-25
<PAGE>
Net realized gains differ for financial statement and tax purposes
primarily because of the recognition of wash sale transactions and
post-October 31 capital losses. Also, due to the timing of dividend
distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ
from the year that the income or realized gains were recorded by the Fund.
Certain book-to-tax timing differences for the funds are reflected as excess
distributions in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. These distributions
do not constitute a tax return of capital.
Shareholder Dividends
Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly by
the Equity Funds. Net realized capital gains are distributed annually.
Distributions from net investment income and net realized gains are made
during each year to avoid the 4% excise tax imposed on regulated investment
companies by the Internal Revenue Code.
Deferred Organization Costs
Organization costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the
five year period beginning with the commencement of operations of each series.
Expenses
Expenses are charged daily as a percentage of the respective Fund's net
assets. Woodward monitors the rate at which expenses are charged to ensure
that a proper amount of expense is charged to income each year. This
percentage is subject to revision if there is a change in the estimate of the
future net assets of Woodward or a change in expectations as to the level of
actual expenses.
(3) Transactions with Affiliates
First of Michigan Corporation (FoM) and Essex National Securities, Inc.
(Essex) act as sponsors and co-distributors of Woodward's shares. Pursuant to
their Distribution Agreement with Woodward, FoM is entitled to receive a fee
at the annual rate of .005% of the Equity Funds' average net assets and Essex
is entitled to receive a fee at the annual rate of .10% of the aggregate
average net assets of Woodward's investment portfolios attributable to
investments by clients of Essex.
NBD is the investment advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. For
its advisory services to Woodward, NBD is entitled to a fee, computed daily
and payable monthly. Under the Advisory Agreement, NBD also provides Woodward
with certain administrative services, such as maintaining Woodward's general
ledger and assisting in the preparation of various regulatory reports. NBD
receives no additional compensation for such services.
A reorganization of Woodward and The Prairie Funds is being considered
by the Board of Trustees of both funds. In connection with the proposed
reorganization, the Board of Trustees of Woodward and the Board of Trustees of
Prairie must approve certain reorganization agreements. The transaction is
intended to be effected as a tax-free reorganization under the Internal
Revenue Code, so that none of the Funds' shareholders will recognize taxable
gains or losses as a result of the reorganization. A proxy
statement/prospectus describing the reorganization and the reasons therefore
will be sent to shareholders.
NBD, FoM, and Essex have agreed that they may waive their fees in whole
or in part; and, if in part, may specify the particular fund to which such
waiver relates as may be required to satisfy any expense limitation imposed by
state securities laws or other applicable laws. At present, no restrictive
expense limitation is imposed on Woodward. Restrictive limitations could be
imposed as a result of changes in current state laws and regulations in those
states where Woodward has qualified its shares, or by a decision of the
Trustees to qualify the shares in other states having restrictive expense
limitations. For the period ended December 31, 1995, NBD reimbursed the
Capital Growth Fund and Balanced Fund for certain expenses in the amounts of
$58,424 and $136,954, respectively.
NBD is also compensated for its services as Woodward's Custodian,
Transfer Agent and Dividend Disbursing Agent, and is reimbursed for certain
out of pocket expenses incurred on behalf of Woodward.
FS-26
<PAGE>
On March 10, 1994, Woodward adopted The Woodward Funds Deferred
Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), an unfunded, nonqualified deferred
compensation plan. The Plan allows an individual Trustee to elect to defer
receipt of all or a percentage of fees which otherwise would be payable for
services performed.
See Note 5 for a summary of fee rates and expenses pursuant to these
agreements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees and Shareholders of
The Woodward Equity Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolios of investments, of the Equity Funds of THE WOODWARD
FUNDS (comprising, as indicated in Note 1, the Growth/Value, Opportunity,
Intrinsic Value, Capital Growth and Balanced Funds) as of December 31, 1995,
and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the
statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period
then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods from
inception (as indicated in Note 1) through December 31, 1995. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included physical counts and
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1995, by inspection and
correspondence with custodians, banks and brokers. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of each of the respective funds constituting the Equity Funds of The
Woodward Funds as of December 31, 1995, the results of their operations for
the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years
in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods
from inception (as indicated in Note 1) through December 31, 1995 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

THE WOODWARD FUNDS
INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Organization and Commencement of Operations
The Woodward Funds (Woodward) was organized as a Massachusetts business
trust on April 21, 1987, and registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company. As of December 31, 1995,
Woodward consisted of seventeen separate series. The Woodward International
Equity Fund (International Fund) commenced operations on December 3, 1994.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed
in the preparation of the financial statements. The policies are in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies.
Following generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investments
The International Fund values investment securities at market value
which is determined by a pricing service based upon quoted market prices or
dealer quotes at the close of the respective foreign securities exchange.
Securities for which market prices or dealer quotes are not readily available
are valued by the investment advisor, NBD Bank, (NBD) in accordance with
procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
Investment security purchases and sales are accounted for on the day
after trade date.
Woodward invests in securities subject to repurchase agreements. Such
transactions are entered into only with institutions included on the Federal
Reserve System's list of institutions with whom the Federal Reserve open
market desk will do business. NBD, acting under the supervision of the Board
of Trustees, has established the following additional policies and procedures
relating to Woodward's investments in securities subject to repurchase
agreements: 1) the value of the underlying collateral is required to equal or
exceed 102% of the funds advanced under the repurchase agreement including
accrued interest; 2) collateral is marked to market daily by NBD to assure its
value remains at least equal to 102% of the repurchase agreement amount; and
3) funds are not disbursed by Woodward or its agent unless collateral is
presented or acknowledged by the collateral custodian.
Investment Income
Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis. Dividends are
recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of ex-dividend notification
in the case of certain foreign securities. Investment income is recorded net
of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
The International Fund may enter into a forward foreign currency
contract which is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency
at a set price on a future date. The market value of the contract will
fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is
"marked-to-market" daily using the prevailing exchange rate and the change in
market value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is
closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between
the value of the contract at the time it was entered into and the value at the
time it was closed.
The International Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts
with the objective of minimizing its risk from adverse changes in the
relationship between currencies or to enhance income. The International Fund
may also enter into a forward contract in relation to a security denominated
in a foreign currency when it anticipates receipt in a foreign currency of
dividend payments in order to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of a security or
the U.S. dollar equivalent of such dividend payments.
These contracts involve market risk in excess of the amounts reflected
in the International Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The face or
contract amount in U.S. dollars, as reflected in Footnote 6, reflects the
total exposure the fund has in that particular currency contract. Losses may
arise due to changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the
counterparty does not perform under the contract.
FS-47
<PAGE>
Foreign Currency Translations
The accounting records of the International Fund are maintained in U.S.
dollars. Foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are
"marked-to-market" daily using the prevailing exchange rate and the change in
value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Upon receipt or payment, a
realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the original
value and the settlement value of the asset or liability. Purchases and sales
of securities, income, and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at
prevailing exchange rate on the respective date of the transaction.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent
gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward foreign currency
contracts, disposition of foreign currencies and currency gains and losses
realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and
between the ex, pay and settlement dates on dividend income. Exchange rate
fluctuations on investments are not segregated in the statement of operations
from changes arising in market price movements. The effects of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included
within the net realized gain or loss on securities sold and net unrealized
appreciation or depreciation on investment securities held.
Federal Income Taxes
It is Woodward's policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M
of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute net investment income and realized gains to its
shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required in the
accompanying financial statements.
Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) may differ for
financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to differing treatments for
foreign currency transactions, wash sales and post October 31 capital losses.
Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which
amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the net investment
income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by the Fund. Certain
book-to-tax timing differences for the Fund are reflected as excess
distributions in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. These distributions
do not constitute a tax return of capital.
Shareholder Dividends
Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid annually. Net
realized capital gains are distributed annually. Distributions from net
investment income and net realized gains are made during each year to avoid
the 4% excise tax imposed on regulated investment companies by the Internal
Revenue Code.
Deferred Organization Costs
Organization costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the
five year period beginning with the commencement of operations of the Fund.
Expenses
Expenses are charged daily as a percentage of the Fund's assets.
Woodward monitors the rate at which expenses are charged to ensure that a
proper amount of expense is charged to income each year. This percentage is
subject to revision if there is a change in the estimate of the future net
assets of the International Fund or change in expectations as to the level of
actual expenses.
Concentration of Risk
Investing in securities of foreign issuers and currency transactions may
involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with
investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks
include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency
values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments,
including those particular to a specific industry, country or region, which
could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and price more
volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government
securities.
FS-48
<PAGE>
(3) Transactions with Affiliates
First of Michigan Corporation (FoM) and Essex National Securities, Inc.
(Essex) act as sponsors and co-distributors of Woodward's shares. Pursuant to
their Distribution Agreement with Woodward, FoM is entitled to receive
a fee at the annual rate of .005% of the International Fund's average net
assets and Essex is entitled to receive a fee at the annual rate of .10% of
the aggregate average net assets of Woodward's investment portfolios,
attributable to investments by clients of Essex.
NBD is the investment advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. For
its advisory services to Woodward, NBD is entitled to a fee, computed daily
and payable monthly. Under the Advisory Agreement, NBD also provides Woodward
with certain administrative services, such as maintaining Woodward's general
ledger and assisting in the preparation of various regulatory reports. NBD
receives no additional compensation for such services.
A reorganization of Woodward and The Prairie Funds is being considered
by the Board of Trustees of both funds. In connection with the proposed
reorganization, the Board of Trustees of Woodward and the Board of Trustees of
Prairie must approve certain reorganization agreements. The transaction is
intended to be effected as a tax-free reorganization under the Internal
Revenue Code, so that none of the Fund's shareholders will recognize taxable
gains or losses as a result of the reorganization. A proxy
statement/prospectus describing the reorganization and the reasons therefore
will be sent to shareholders.
NBD, FoM, and Essex have agreed that they may waive their fees in whole
or in part; and, if in part, may specify the particular fund to which such
waiver relates as may be required to satisfy any expense limitation imposed by
state securities laws or other applicable laws. At present, no restrictive
expense limitation is imposed on Woodward. Restrictive limitations could be
imposed as a result of changes in current state laws and regulations in those
states where Woodward has qualified its shares, or by a decision of the
Trustees to qualify the shares in other states having restrictive expense
limitations. For the year ended December 31, 1995, NBD reimbursed the
International Fund for certain expenses in the amount of $51,707.
NBD is also compensated for its services as Woodward's Custodian,
Transfer Agent and Dividend Disbursing Agent, and is reimbursed for certain
out of pocket expenses incurred on behalf of Woodward.
On March 10, 1994, Woodward adopted the Woodward Funds Deferred
Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), an unfunded, nonqualified deferred
compensation plan. The Plan allows an individual trustee to elect to defer
receipt of all or a percentage of fees which otherwise would be payable for
services performed.
See Note 5 for a summary of fee rates and expenses pursuant to these
agreements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included physical counts and
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1995, by inspection and
correspondence with custodians, banks and brokers. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of The Woodward International Equity Fund as of December 31, 1995,
the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net

THE WOODWARD FUNDS
EQUITY INDEX FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Organization and Commencement of Operations
The Woodward Funds (Woodward) was organized as a Massachusetts business
trust on April 21, 1987, and registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company. As of December 31, 1995,
Woodward consisted of seventeen separate series. The Woodward Equity Index
Fund (Equity Index Fund) commenced operations on July 10, 1992.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Equity Index Fund in the preparation of the financial statements. The
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies. Following generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Investments
The Equity Index Fund values investment securities at market value which
is determined by a pricing service based upon quoted market prices or dealer
quotes. Securities for which market prices or dealer quotes are not readily
available are valued by the investment advisor, NBD Bank (NBD) in accordance
with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
Investment security purchases and sales are accounted for on the day
after trade date.
Woodward invests in securities subject to repurchase agreements. Such
transactions are entered into only with institutions included on the Federal
Reserve System's list of institutions with whom the Federal Reserve open
market desk will do business. NBD, acting under the supervision of the Board
of Trustees, has established the following additional policies and procedures
relating to Woodward's investments in securities subject to repurchase
agreements: 1) the value of the underlying collateral is required to equal or
exceed 102% of the funds advanced under the repurchase agreement including
accrued interest; 2) collateral is marked to market daily by NBD to assure its
value remains at least equal to 102% of the repurchase agreement amount; and
3) funds are not disbursed by Woodward or its agent unless collateral is
presented or acknowledged by the collateral custodian.
Investment Income
Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis adjusted for
amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt instruments.
Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Federal Income Taxes
It is Woodward's policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M
of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute net investment income and realized gains to its
shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required in the
accompanying financial statements.
Net realized gains differ for financial statement and tax purposes
primarily because of the recognition of wash sale transactions and
post-October 31 capital losses. Also, due to the timing of dividend
distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ
from the year that the income or realized gains were recorded by the Fund.
Certain book-to-tax timing differences for the funds are reflected as excess
distributions in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. These distributions
do not constitute a tax return of capital.
Shareholder Dividends
Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly by
the Equity Index Fund. Net realized capital gains are distributed annually.
Distributions from net investment income and net realized gains are made
during each year to avoid the 4% excise tax imposed on regulated investment
companies
FS-66
<PAGE>
by the Internal Revenue Code.
Deferred Organization Costs
Organization costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the
five year period beginning with the commencement of operations of the Equity
Index Fund.
Expenses
Expenses are charged daily as a percentage of the Fund's net assets.
Woodward monitors the rate at which expenses are charged to ensure that a
proper amount of expense is charged to income each year. This percentage is
subject to revision if there is a change in the estimate of the future net
assets of Woodward or a change in expectations as to the level of actual
expenses.
(3) Transactions with Affiliates
First of Michigan Corporation (FoM) and Essex National Securities, Inc.
(Essex) act as sponsors and co-distributors of Woodward's shares. Pursuant to
their Distribution Agreement with Woodward, FoM is entitled to receive a fee
at the annual rate of .005% of the Equity Index Fund's average net assets and
Essex is entitled to receive a fee at the annual rate of .10% of the aggregate
average net assets of Woodward's investment portfolios attributable to
investments by clients of Essex.
NBD is the investment advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. For its
advisory services to Woodward, NBD is entitled to a fee, computed daily and
payable monthly. Under the Advisory Agreement, NBD also provides Woodward with
certain administrative services, such as maintaining Woodward's general ledger
and assisting in the preparation of various regulatory reports. NBD receives
no additional compensation for such services.
A reorganization of Woodward and The Prairie Funds is being considered by
the Board of Trustees of both funds. In connection with the proposed
reorganization, the Board of Trustees of Woodward and the Board of Trustees of
Prairie must approve certain reorganization agreements. The transaction is
intended to be effected as a tax-free reorganization under the Internal
Revenue Code, so that none of the Fund's shareholders will recognize taxable
gains or losses as a result of the reorganization. A proxy
statement/prospectus describing the reorganization and the reasons therefore
will be sent to shareholders.
NBD, FoM, and Essex have agreed that they may waive their fees in whole
or in part; and, if in part, may specify the particular fund to which such
waiver relates as may be required to satisfy any expense limitation imposed by
state securities laws or other applicable laws. At present, no restrictive
expense limitation is imposed on Woodward. Restrictive limitations could be
imposed as a result of changes in current state laws and regulations in those
states where Woodward has qualified its shares, or by a decision of the
Trustees to qualify the shares in other states having restrictive expense
limitations.
NBD is also compensated for its services as Woodward's Custodian,
Transfer Agent and Dividend Disbursing Agent, and is reimbursed for certain
out of pocket expenses incurred on behalf of Woodward.
On March 10, 1994, Woodward adopted The Woodward Funds Deferred
Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), an unfunded, nonqualified deferred
compensation plan. The Plan allows an individual Trustee to elect to defer
receipt of all or a percentage of fees which otherwise would be payable for
services performed.
See Note 5 for a summary of fee rates and expenses pursuant to these
agreements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees and Shareholders of
The Woodward Equity Index Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolio of investments, of The Woodward Equity Index Fund as
of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of operations for the year
then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years
in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods
from inception (as indicated in Note 1) through December 31, 1995. These
financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the
Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included physical counts and
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1995, by inspection and
correspondence with custodians, banks and brokers. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of The Woodward Equity Index Fund as of December 31, 1995, the
results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net
assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial
highlights for each of the periods from inception (as indicated in Note 1)
through December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

THE WOODWARD FUNDS
BOND FUND
PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 1995
Notes to Portfolio of Investments
(a) The Funds invest in securities whose value is derived from an underlying
pool of mortgages or consumer loans. Some of these securities are
collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). CMOs are debt securities
issued by U.S. government agencies or by financial institutions and other
mortgage lenders which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held
under an indenture. Descriptions of certain collateralized mortgage
obligations are as follows:
Adjustable Rate (AR)
Inverse Floaters (IF) represent securities that pay interest at a rate
that increases (decreases) with a decline (increase) in a specified index.
Interest Only (IO) represent the right to receive the monthly interest
payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The face amount shown
represents the par value on the underlying pool. The yields on these
securities are generally higher than prevailing market yields on other
mortgage-backed securities because their cash flow patterns are more
volatile and there is a greater risk that the initial investment will not
be fully recouped. These securities are subject to accelerated principal
paydowns as a result of prepayments or refinancing of the underlying pool
of mortgage instruments. As a result, interest income may be reduced
considerably.
High Coupon Bonds (HB) (a.k.a. "IOettes") represent the right to receive
interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgages with similar risks as
those associated with IO securities. Unlike IO's, the owner also has a
right to receive a very small portion of principal. The high interest rate
results from taking interest payments from other classes in the REMIC
Trust and allocating them to the small principal of the HB class.
Principal Only (PO) represents the right to receive the principal portion
only on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The market value of these
securities is extremely volatile in response to changes in market interest
rates. As prepayments on the underlying mortgages of these securities
increase, the yield on these securities increases.
(b) Based upon estimated future cash flows, income is currently not being
recognized on certain IO, HB, and CMO securities with an aggregate market
value of $1,496,849. The book cost of certain IO and HB securities
includes a write down in the amount of $6,056,100 taken during 1993 to
properly state the net realizable value of the securities. The write down
results in a lower cost of investments than the tax cost disclosed in Note
4 in Notes to Financial Statements.

THE WOODWARD FUNDS
INTERMEDIATE BOND FUND
PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 1995
Notes to Portfolio of Investments
(a) The Funds invest in securities whose value is derived from an underlying
pool of mortgages or consumer loans. Some of these securities are
collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). CMOs are debt securities
issued by U.S. government agencies or by financial institutions and other
mortgage lenders which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held
under an indenture. Descriptions of certain collateralized mortgage
obligations are as follows:
Adjustable Rate (AR)
Inverse Floaters (IF) represent securities that pay interest at a rate
that increases (decreases) with a decline (increase) in a specified index.
Interest Only (IO) represent the right to receive the monthly interest
payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The face amount shown
represents the par value on the underlying pool. The yields on these
securities are generally higher than prevailing market yields on other
mortgage-backed securities because their cash flow patterns are more
volatile and there is a greater risk that the initial investment will not
be fully recouped. These securities are subject to accelerated principal
paydowns as a result of prepayments or refinancing of the underlying pool
of mortgage instruments. As a result, interest income may be reduced
considerably.
High Coupon Bonds (HB) (a.k.a. "IOettes") represent the right to receive
interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgages with similar risks as
those associated with IO securities. Unlike IO's, the owner also has a
right to receive a very small portion of principal. The high interest rate
results from taking interest payments from other classes in the REMIC
Trust and allocating them to the small principal of the HB class.
Principal Only (PO) represents the right to receive the principal portion
only on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The market value of these
securities is extremely volatile in response to changes in market interest
rates. As prepayments on the underlying mortgages of these securities
increase, the yield on these securities increases.
(b) Based upon estimated future cash flows, income is currently not being
recognized on certain IO, HB, and CMO securities with an aggregate market
value of $1,408,358. The book cost of certain IO and HB securities
includes a write down in the amount of $2,639,653 taken during 1993 to
properly state the net realizable value of the securities. The write down
results in a lower cost of investments than the tax cost disclosed in Note
4 in Notes to Financial Statements.

THE WOODWARD FUNDS
SHORT BOND FUND
PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 1995
Notes to Portfolio of Investments
The Funds invest in securities whose value is derived from an underlying
pool of mortgages or consumer loans. Some of these securities are
collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). CMOs are debt securities
issued by U.S. government agencies or by financial institutions and other
mortgage lenders which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held
under an indenture. Descriptions of certain collateralized mortgage
obligations are as follows:
Adjustable Rate (AR)
Inverse Floaters (IF) represent securities that pay interest at a rate
that increases (decreases) with a decline (increase) in a specified index.
Interest Only (IO) represent the right to receive the monthly interest
payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The face amount shown
represents the par value on the underlying pool. The yields on these
securities are generally higher than prevailing market yields on other
mortgage-backed securities because their cash flow patterns are more
volatile and there is a greater risk that the initial investment will not
be fully recouped. These securities are subject to accelerated principal
paydowns as a result of prepayments or refinancing of the underlying pool
of mortgage instruments. As a result, interest income may be reduced
considerably.
High Coupon Bonds (HB) (a.k.a. "IOettes") represent the right to receive
interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgages with similar risks as
those associated with IO securities. Unlike IO's, the owner also has a
right to receive a very small portion of principal. The high interest rate
results from taking interest payments from other classes in the REMIC
Trust and allocating them to the small principal of the HB class.
Principal Only (PO) represents the right to receive the principal portion
only on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The market value of these
securities is extremely volatile in response to changes in market interest
rates. As prepayments on the underlying mortgages of these securities
increase, the yield on these securities increases.

THE WOODWARD FUNDS
BOND FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Organization and Commencement of Operations
The Woodward Funds (Woodward) was organized as a Massachusetts business
trust on April 21, 1987, and registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company. As of December 31, 1995,
Woodward consisted of seventeen separate series of which there were five Bond
Funds, as described below. Woodward Bond Fund Woodward Intermediate Bond Fund
Woodward Short Bond Fund Woodward Municipal Bond Fund Woodward Michigan
Municipal Fund
The Bond and Intermediate Bond Funds commenced operations on June 1,
1991. The Municipal Bond and Michigan Municipal Bond Funds commenced
operations February 1, 1993. The Short Bond Fund commenced operations on
September 17, 1994.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Bond Funds in the preparation of the financial statements. The policies
are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for investment
companies. Following generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Investments
The Bond Funds value investment securities at market value which is
determined by a pricing service based upon quoted market prices or dealer
quotes. Securities for which market prices or dealer quotes are not readily
available are valued by the investment advisor, NBD Bank (NBD) in accordance
with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
Investment security purchases and sales are accounted for on the day
after trade date.
Woodward invests in securities subject to repurchase agreements. Such
transactions are entered into only with institutions included on the Federal
Reserve System's list of institutions with whom the Federal Reserve open
market desk will do business. NBD, acting under the supervision of the Board
of Trustees, has established the following additional policies and procedures
relating to Woodward's investments in securities subject to repurchase
agreements: 1) the value of the underlying collateral is required to equal or
exceed 102% of the funds advanced under the repurchase agreement including
accrued interest; 2) collateral is marked to market daily by NBD or its third
party custodian to assure its value remains at least equal to 102% of the
repurchase agreement amount; and 3) funds are not disbursed by Woodward or its
agent unless collateral is presented or acknowledged by the collateral
custodian.
Investment Income
Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis adjusted for
amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt instruments. Bond
premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted as required by the Internal
Revenue Code. Premiums and discounts on mortgage-backed securities are
amortized/accreted using the effective interest rate method. As prepayments on
the underlying mortgages increase or decrease the expected life, the yield is
adjusted to amortize/accrete the security to its new expected life.
Federal Income Taxes
It is Woodward's policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M
of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute net investment income and realized gains to its
shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required in the
accompanying financial statements.
FS-100
<PAGE>
Net realized gains differ for financial statement and tax purposes
primarily because of the recognition of wash sale transactions for all Funds
and write downs for book purposes on the Bond and Intermediate Bond funds (See
notes to Portfolio of Investments). Also, due to the timing of dividend
distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ
from the year the income or realized gains were recorded by the Fund.
As of December 31, 1995, the Bond Funds had capital loss carryforwards
and related expiration dates as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Fund 2002 2003 Total
- - ---- ---- ---- -----
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Bond $19,955,806 $1,041,792 $20,997,598
Intermediate Bond 3,916,956 2,190,497 6,107,453
Municipal Bond 96,878 333,098 429,976
Michigan Municipal Bond 29,400 -- 29,400
</TABLE>
Shareholder Dividends
Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly by the
Bond Funds. Net realized capital gains are distributed annually. Distributions
from net investment income and net realized gains are made during each year to
avoid the 4% excise tax imposed on regulated investment companies by the
Internal Revenue Code.
Deferred Organization Costs
Organization costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the
five year period beginning with the commencement of operations of each series.
When Issued/To Be Announced (TBA) Securities.
The Bond Funds may purchase securities on a "when issued" basis. These
securities have been registered by a municipality or government agency, but
have not yet been issued to the public. These transactions involve a
commitment by the Funds to purchase particular securities, with payment and
delivery taking place at a future date, for which all specific information,
such as the face amount and maturity date of such investment security, is not
known at the time of the trade. These transactions are subject to market
fluctuations and the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than
the purchase price at which the transactions were entered. The current value
of these securities is determined in the same manner as that of other
portfolio securities. Although the Bond Funds generally purchase these
securities with the intention of acquisition, such securities may be sold
before the settlement date.
Expenses
Expenses are charged daily as a percentage of the Fund's assets. Woodward
monitors the rate at which expenses are charged to ensure that a proper amount
of expense is charged to income each year. This percentage is subject to
revision if there is a change in the estimate of the future net assets of
Woodward or a change in expectations as to the level of actual expenses.
(3) Transactions with Affiliates
First of Michigan Corporation (FoM) and Essex National Securities, Inc.
(Essex) act as sponsors and co-distributors of Woodward's shares. Pursuant to
their Distribution Agreement with Woodward, FoM is entitled to receive a fee
at the annual rate of .005% of the Bond Funds's average net assets and Essex
is entitled to receive a fee at the annual rate of .10% of the aggregate
average net assets of Woodward's investment portfolios attributable to
investments by clients of Essex.
NBD is the investment advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. For its
advisory services to Woodward, NBD is entitled to a fee, computed daily and
payable monthly. Under the Advisory Agreement, NBD also provides Woodward with
certain administrative services, such as maintaining Woodward's general ledger
and assisting in the preparation of various regulatory reports. NBD receives
no additional compensation for such services.
A reorganization of Woodward and The Prairie Funds is being considered by
the Board of Trustees of both funds. In connection with the proposed
reorganization, the Board of Trustees of Woodward and the Board of Trustees of
Prairie must approve certain reorganization agreements. The transaction is
intended to be effected as a tax-free reorganization under the Internal
Revenue Code, so that none of the Funds' shareholders will recognize taxable
gains or losses as a result of the reorganization. A proxy
statement/prospectus describing the reorganization and the reasons therefore
will be sent to shareholders.
FS-101<PAGE>
NBD, FoM, and Essex have agreed that they may waive their fees in whole
or in part; and, if in part, may specify the particular fund to which such
waiver relates as may be required to satisfy any expense limitation imposed by
state securities laws or other applicable laws. At present, no restrictive
expense limitation is imposed on Woodward. Restrictive limitations could be
imposed as a result of changes in current state laws and regulations in those
states where Woodward has qualified its shares, or by a decision of the
Trustees to qualify the shares in other states having restrictive expense
limitations. For the year ended December 31, 1995, NBD reimbursed the Short
Bond, Municipal Bond, and Michigan Municipal Bond Funds for certain expenses
in the amount of $65,761, $88,071, and $119,481 respectively.
On March 10, 1994, Woodward adopted the Woodward Funds Deferred
Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), an unfunded, nonqualified deferred
compensation plan. The Plan allows an individual Trustee to elect to defer
receipt of all or a percentage of fees which otherwise would be payable for
services performed.
NBD is also compensated for its services as Woodward's Custodian,
Transfer Agent and Dividend Disbursing Agent, and is reimbursed for certain
out of pocket expenses incurred on behalf of Woodward.
See Note 5 for a summary of fee rates and expenses pursuant to these
agreements.

(6) Portfolio Composition
Although the Municipal Bond Fund has a diversified investment portfolio,
the Fund has investments greater than 10% of its total investments in the
state of Illinois. The Michigan Municipal Bond Fund does not have a
diversified portfolio since all of its investments are within the state of
Michigan. Such concentrations within particular states may subject the Funds
more significantly to economic changes occuring within those states.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees and Shareholders of
The Woodward Bond Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolios of investments, of the Bond Funds of THE WOODWARD
FUNDS (comprising, as indicated in Note 1, the Bond, Intermediate Bond, Short
Bond, Municipal Bond and Michigan Municipal Bond Funds) as of December 31,
1995, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the
statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period
then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods from
inception (as indicated in Note 1) through December 31, 1995. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included physical counts and
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1995, by inspection and
correspondence with custodians, banks and brokers. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of each of the respective funds constituting the Bond Funds of The
Woodward Funds as of December 31, 1995, the results of their operations for
the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years
in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods
from inception (as indicated in Note 1) through December 31, 1995 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1--GENERAL
Prairie Funds (the "Trust") is an open-end management investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"). At
December 31, 1995, the Trust consisted of twelve separate investment
portfolios. The accompanying financial statements include the results of
operations for the following portfolios of the Trust: Managed Assets Income
Fund, Managed Assets Fund, Equity Income Fund, Growth Fund, Special
Opportunities Fund, International Equity Fund, Bond Fund, International Bond
Fund, Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, U.S. Government Money Market Fund,
Money Market Fund, and Municipal Money Market Fund. Additionally, the
accompanying financial statements include the results of operations for the
Prairie Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. and the Prairie Intermediate Bond Fund, two
open-end management investment companies registered under the Act (together
with the Trust's portfolios, the "Funds").
First Chicago Investment Management Company ("FCIMCO"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of The First National Bank of Chicago ("FNBC"), serves as each
Fund's investment adviser and administrator. FCIMCO has engaged ANB Investment
Management and Trust Company ("ANB") to serve as sub-investment adviser for the
International Equity Fund. Additionally, FCIMCO has engaged Concord Holding
Corporation ("Concord"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The BISYS Group, Inc., to
assist it in providing certain administrative services for the Funds. Concord
Financial Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Concord, serves as the
principal underwriter and distributor of each Fund's shares.
The Funds (except for the U.S. Government Money Market Fund and Municipal
Money Market Fund, which offer Class A shares only, and the Money Market Fund
which offers Class A shares and Class B shares) each offer Class A shares,
Class B shares and Class I shares. Class A shares, Class B shares and Class I
shares are substantially the same except that Class A shares are subject to a
sales charge imposed at the time of purchase and are subject to fees charged
pursuant to a Shareholder Services Plan. Class B shares are subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge imposed at the time of redemption and are
subject to fees charged pursuant to a Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to
Rule 12b-1 under the Act and fees charged pursuant to the Shareholder Services
Plan. Class I shares are not subject to any sales charge, shareholder services
fees or distribution fees.
During the period January 27, 1995 through March 3, 1995, various common
trust funds and collective trust funds managed by FNBC transferred cash and
securities to certain Funds in exchange for Class I shares of the corresponding
Fund. The following table sets forth the date on which such transfers occurred,
the transferring entity, the corresponding Fund, the market value of the
securities and cash transferred and the amount of Class I shares issued in
connection with such transfer:

</TABLE>
NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These principles
require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
(A) Portfolio Valuation: Bonds, debentures, notes, mortgage-related
securities, asset-backed securities, municipal obligations and convertible debt
obligations ("Fixed Income Securities") are valued daily using available market
quotations or at fair value as determined by one or more independent pricing
services (the "Service") approved by the Board of Trustees (or the "Board").
Fixed Income Securities for which quoted bid prices are readily available and
are representative of the bid side of the market, in the judgment of the
Service, are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by
the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by
the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other
Fixed Income Securities are carried at fair value as determined by the Service,
based upon methods which include consideration of yields or prices of
securities of comparable quality, coupon rate, maturity and type, indications
as to values from dealers, and general market conditions. Fixed Income
Securities with maturities less than 60 days are carried at amortized cost,
which approximates market value.
Common stocks, preferred stocks and convertible securities, as well as
warrants to purchase such securities ("Equity Securities"), and call options
written by a Fund are valued at the last sale price on the securities exchange
or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded.
Equity securities not
FS-216
<PAGE>
PRAIRIE FUNDS
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
listed on an exchange or national securities market, or securities for which
there were no transactions, are valued at the most recent bid prices. Any
securities or other assets for which recent market quotations are not readily
available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.
Restricted securities, illiquid securities and securities for which market
quotations are not readily available, if any, are valued at fair value using
methods approved by the Board.
Investments of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund, Money Market Fund and
Municipal Money Market Fund (the "money market funds") are valued at amortized
cost, which approximates market value. Under the amortized cost method,
discount or premium is amortized on a constant basis to the maturity of the
security. In addition, the money market funds may not (a) purchase any
instruments with a remaining maturity greater that thirteen months unless such
instrument is subject to a demand feature, or (b) maintain a dollar-weighted
average maturity which exceeds 90 days.
(B) Foreign currency translations: The books and records of the International
Bond Fund and the International Equity Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars.
Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on
the following basis: (i) investment securities, other assets and liabilities
initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into
U.S. dollars at the midpoint of the New York interbank market spot exchange
rate as quoted on the day of such translation by the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York or at such other quoted market exchange rate as may be determined to
be appropriate by the investment adviser; (ii) purchases and sales of foreign
securities, income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based upon
currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such
transactions. The Funds generally do not isolate that portion of the results of
operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from
the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such
fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss
from investments.
Reported net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency
represent: (i) foreign exchange gains and losses from the sale and holding of
foreign currencies, forward contracts and foreign currency denominated debt
obligations; (ii) gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on
investment securities transactions and forward exchange contracts; and (iii)
gains and losses from the difference between amounts of dividends and interest
recorded and the amounts actually received.
(C) Futures contracts: The International Equity Fund may engage in futures
contracts for the purpose of hedging against changes in the value of its
portfolio securities and in the value of securities it intends to purchase.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the
broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to a certain percentage of
the contract amount. This is known as the "initial margin". Subsequent payments
("variation margin") are made
FS-217
<PAGE>
PRAIRIE FUNDS
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation of the
value of the contract. The daily changes in the value of the contract are
recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes, when the contract
is closed, a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of
the contract at the time it was opened and the time it was closed. Futures
contracts open at December 31, 1995 and their related unrealized market
appreciation (depreciation) are set forth in the notes to the Portfolio of
Investments of the International Equity Fund.
There are several risks in connection with the use of futures contracts as a
hedging device. The change in value of futures contracts primarily corresponds
with the value of their underlying instruments or indices, which may not
correlate with the change in value of the hedged investments. In addition,
there is the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing
transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.
(D) Forward foreign currency contracts--The International Bond Fund may enter
into forward foreign currency contracts in order to hedge its exposure to
changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings.
When executing forward foreign currency contracts, the Fund is obligated to buy
or sell a foreign currency at a specified rate on a certain date in the future.
With respect to sales of forward foreign currency contracts, the Fund would
incur a loss if the value of the contract increases between the date the
forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed. The
Fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract decreases between those
dates. With respect to purchases of forward foreign currency contracts, the
Fund would incur a loss if the value of the contract decreases between the date
the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed. The
Fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract increases between those
dates. The Fund is also exposed to credit risk associated with counter party
nonperformance on these forward foreign currency contracts which is typically
limited to the unrealized gains on such contracts that are recognized in the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
(E) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions
are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities
transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is
recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, adjusted for
amortization of premiums and, when appropriate, discounts on investments, is
earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities
purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a
month or more after the trade date.
Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions
deemed to be creditworthy by FCIMCO, subject to the seller's agreement to
repurchase and the Fund's agreement to resell such securities at a mutually
agreed upon price. Securities purchased subject to repurchase agreements are
deposited with the Fund's custodian and, pursuant to the terms of the
repurchase agreement, must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal
to the repurchase price
FS-218
<PAGE>
PRAIRIE FUNDS
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
plus accrued interest at all times. If the value of the underlying securities
falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest, the Fund
will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business
day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the seller
defaults on its repurchase obligation, the Fund maintains the right to sell the
underlying securities at market value and may claim any resulting loss against
the seller.
(F) Expenses: Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that
Fund's operations; expenses which are applicable to all Funds are allocated
among them on the basis of relative net assets. Fund expenses directly
attributable to a class of shares are charged to that class; expenses which are
applicable to all classes are allocated among them.
(G) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of Managed Assets Income Fund
and Equity Income Fund to declare and pay dividends from net investment income
monthly while the Managed Assets Fund, Growth Fund, Special Opportunities Fund
and International Equity Fund declare and pay dividends quarterly. The Bond
Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, International Bond Fund, Municipal Bond Fund,
Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, U.S. Government Money Market Fund, Money
Market Fund and Municipal Money Market Fund declare dividends daily from net
investment income, payable monthly. Distributions from net realized capital
gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but each Fund may make
distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). However, to the extent
that net realized capital gains of a Fund can be reduced by capital loss
carryovers, if any, such gains will not be distributed.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and of distributions from
net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax
regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. To
the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are
reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-
basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Dividends and distributions to shareholders which exceed net investment income
and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes but not for tax
purposes are reported as distributions in excess of net investment income or
net realized capital gains. To the extent they exceed net investment income and
net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of
capital.
(H) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a
regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to
certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Code,
and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gains sufficient
to relieve it from all, or substantially all, Federal income and excise taxes.
Capital losses incurred after October 31 ("Post-October losses") within the
taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Fund's next
taxable year. The Municipal Money Market Fund and the Special Opportunities
Fund

incurred and may elect to defer net capital losses of approximately $50 and
$113,000, respectively.
At December 31, 1995, the Managed Asset Income Fund had unused capital loss
carryovers of approximately $317,000, which are available for Federal income
tax purposes to be applied against future net capital gains, if any, realized
subsequent to December 31, 1995. If not applied, the carryover expires in
2003.
At December 31, 1995, the U.S. Government Money Market Fund had unused
capital loss carryovers of approximately $16,000, which are available for
Federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net capital gains, if
any, realized subsequent to December 31, 1995. If not applied, the carryover
expires in 2002.
At December 31, 1995, the Municipal Money Market Fund had unused capital
loss carryovers of approximately $40,000, which are available for Federal
income tax purposes to be applied against future net capital gains, if any,
realized subsequent to December 31, 1995. If not applied, $1,000 of the
carryover expires in 1999, $2,000 expires in 2001, $1,000 expires in 2002 and
$36,000 expires in 2003.
At December 31, 1995, with the exception of the Growth Fund, the cost of the
Funds' investments for Federal income tax purposes was substantially the same
as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see Portfolios of Investments).
(I) Other: Organization expenses incurred by the Funds are being amortized
to operations over the period during which it is expected that a benefit will
be realized, not to exceed five years.
(J) Concentration of risk: Investing in securities of foreign issuers and
foreign currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not
typically associated with investments in the United States. These risks
include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency
values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments,
including those particular to a specific industry, country or region, which
could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more
volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities. These risks are greater
with respect to securities of issuers located in emerging market countries in
which certain Funds are authorized to invest. The ability of the issuers of
debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by
economic and political developments particular to a specific industry, country
or region.

NOTE 6--MERGER AND SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On December 1, 1995, FCIMCO's ultimate parent company, First Chicago
Corporation, merged with NBD Bancorp., Inc., with the combined company renamed
First Chicago NBD Corporation (FCNBD). FCNBD has now begun the process of
reorganizing their proprietary mutual funds: Prairie Funds, Prairie
Institutional Funds and the Woodward Funds (whose investment adviser is NBD
Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of FCNBD).
On February 20, 1996, the Board of Trustees of The Woodward Funds and the
Board of Trustees/Directors of the Prairie Funds, Prairie Municipal Bond Fund,
Inc. and Prairie Intermediate Bond Fund approved Reorganization Agreements,
which are subject to shareholder approval. The expenses incurred in connection
with entering into and carrying out provisions of the Reorganization
Agreements, whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are
consummated, will be paid by FCNBD. The reorganization is intended to be
effected on a tax-free basis, so that none of the Fund's shareholders will
recognize taxable gains or losses as a result of the reorganization.
A proxy statement/prospectus describing the reorganization and the reasons
therefore will be sent to shareholders.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Prairie Funds
Prairie Municipal Bond Fund, Inc.
Prairie Intermediate Bond Fund
The Members of the Boards and Shareholders
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolios of investments, of Prairie Funds (comprising,
respectively, the Managed Assets Income, Managed Assets, Equity Income,
Growth, Special Opportunities, International Equity, Bond, International Bond,
Intermediate Municipal Bond, U.S. Government Money Market, Money Market and
Municipal Money Market Funds), Prairie Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. and Prairie
Intermediate Bond Fund (collectively, the "Funds") as of December 31, 1995 and
the related statements of operations for the periods then ended, and the
statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of
the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial
highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of investments
owned as of December 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodians and
others. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each
of the respective funds constituting the Prairie Funds, Prairie Municipal Bond
Fund, Inc. and Prairie Intermediate Bond Fund at December 31, 1995, the
results of their operations for the periods then ended, and the changes in
their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the indicated
periods, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

ITEM 27. INDEMNIFICATION
Indemnification of Registrant's current principal underwriters
against certain losses is provided for in Section 11 of the Distribution
Agreement incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit (6)(b). Indemnification
of Registrant's proposed principal underwriter against certain losses is
provided for in Section 10 of the Distribution Agreement filed as Exhibit
(6)(a). Indemnification of Registrant's Custodian is provided for in Article
XII of the Amended and Restated Custodian Agreement incorporated herein by
reference as Exhibit (8)(a). Indemnification of Registrant's Transfer Agent
and Dividend Disbursing Agent is provided for in Article III of the Amended
and Restated Transfer Agency and Dividend Disbursing Agreement incorporated
herein by reference as Exhibit (9)(b). Registrant has obtained from a major
insurance carrier a trustees' and officers' liability policy covering certain
types of errors and omissions. In addition, Section 5.4 of the Registrant's
Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust incorporated herein by reference as
Exhibit (1)(a), provides as follows:
5.4 Mandatory Indemnification.
(a) Subject only to the provisions hereof, every person
who is or has been a Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust
and every person who serves at the Trust's request as director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise shall be indemnified by the Trust
to the fullest extent permitted by law against all liabilities and
against all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him in connection
with any debt, claim, action, demand, suit, proceeding, judgment,
decree, liability or obligation of any kind in which he becomes
involved as a party or otherwise or is threatened by virtue of his
being or having been a Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the
Trust or of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise at the request of the Trust and against amounts paid
or incurred by him in the compromise or settlement thereof.
(b) The words "claim," "action," "suit," or "proceeding"
shall apply to all claims, actions, suits or proceedings (civil,
criminal, administrative, legislative, investigative or other,
including appeals), actual or threatened, and the words "liabilities"
and "expenses" shall
C-14
<PAGE>
include, without limitation, attorneys' fees, costs, judgments,
amounts paid in settlement, fines, penalties and other liabilities.
(c) No indemnification shall be provided here-
under to a Trustee or officer:
(i) against any liability to the Trust or the
Shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the
duties involved in the conduct of his office ("disabling
conduct");
(ii) with respect to any matter as to which he
shall, by the court or other body by or before which the
proceeding was brought or engaged, have been finally
adjudicated to be liable by reason of disabling conduct;
(iii) in the absence of a final adjudication on
the merits that such Trustee or officer did not engage
in disabling conduct, unless a reasonable determination,
based upon a review of the facts that the person to be
indemnified is not liable by reason of such conduct, is
made:
(A) by vote of a majority of a quorum of
the Trustees who are neither Interested Persons
nor parties to the proceedings; or
(B) by independent legal counsel, in a
written opinion.
(d) The rights of indemnification herein provided may be
insured against by policies maintained by the Trust, shall be
severable, shall not affect any other rights to which any Trustee,
officer, employee or agent may now or hereafter be entitled, shall
continue as to a person who has ceased to be such Trustee, officer,
employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person; provided, however, that
no person may satisfy any right of indemnity or reimbursement granted
herein except out of the property of the Trust, and no other person
shall be personally liable to provide indemnity or reimbursement
hereunder (except an insurer or surety or person otherwise bound by
contract).
(e) Expenses in connection with the preparation and
presentation of a defense to any claim, action, suit or proceeding of
the character described in paragraph (a) of this Section 5.4 may be
paid by the Trust prior to final disposition thereof upon receipt of a
written undertaking by
C-15
<PAGE>
or on behalf of the Trustee, officer, employee or agent to reimburse
the Trust if it is ultimately determined under this Section 5.4 that
he is not entitled to indemnification. Such undertaking shall be
secured by a surety bond or other suitable insurance or such security
as the Trustees shall require unless a majority of a quorum of the
Trustees who are neither Interested Persons nor parties to the
proceeding, or independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall
have determined, based on readily available facts, that there is
reason to believe that the indemnitee ultimately will be found to be
entitled to indemnification.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under
the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and
controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, Registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
Section 5.1 of the Registrant's Declaration of Trust,
incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit (1), also provided
indemnification of shareholders of the Registrant.
Section 5.1 states as follows:
5.1 Limitation of Personal Liability and Indemnification of
Shareholders. The Trustees, officers, employees or agents of the Trust
shall have no power to bind any Shareholder personally or to call upon
any Shareholder for the payment of any sum of money or assessment
whatsoever, other than such as the Shareholder may at any time agree
to pay by way of subscription to any Shares or otherwise.
No Shareholder or former Shareholder of the Trust shall
be liable solely by reason of his being or having been a Shareholder
for any debt, claim, action, demand, suit, proceeding, judgment,
decree, liability or obligation of any kind, against, or with respect
to, the Trust arising out of
C-16
<PAGE>
any action taken or omitted for or on behalf of the Trust, and the
Trust shall be solely liable therefor and resort shall be had solely
to the Trust Property for the payment or performance thereof.
Each Shareholder or former Shareholder of the Trust (or
their heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives
or, in case of a corporate entity, its corporate or general successor)
shall be entitled to indemnity and reimbursement out of the Trust
Property to the full extent of such liability and the costs of any
litigation or other proceedings in which such liability shall have
been determined, including, without limitation, the fees and
disbursements of counsel if, contrary to the provisions hereof, such
Shareholder or former Shareholder of the Trust shall be held to
personal liability.
