QUEST FOR VALUE-SM-

FUNDS

Quest for Value Funds is a family of mutual funds (the "Funds") managed by Quest
       for Value Advisors ("Quest Advisors"). The Global Income Fund is a
       non-diversified fund. The other Funds covered by this Prospectus are
diversified funds. Total assets under the management of Quest Advisors and its
parent, Oppenheimer Capital, amounted to approximately $33 billion on May 31,
1995. The Funds covered by this prospectus are:

Equity:     QUEST FOR VALUE FUND, INC.
            SMALL CAPITALIZATION FUND
            GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
Fixed
Income:     U.S. GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND
            INVESTMENT QUALITY INCOME FUND
Flexible:   OPPORTUNITY FUND
Global:
  Equity:   QUEST FOR VALUE GLOBAL EQUITY FUND,
            INC.
  Income:   GLOBAL INCOME FUND

  This Prospectus sets forth basic information about the Funds, including
applicable sales and distribution fees, that you should understand before
investing. You should read it carefully and retain it for future reference.
Statements of Additional Information dated March 1, 1995 for each of the Quest
for Value Global Equity Fund, Inc., Global Income Fund, Quest for Value Family
of Funds, and Quest for Value Fund, Inc.

(the "SAIs"), have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
are incorporated by reference in this Prospectus. You can obtain a copy of the
SAIs without charge by contacting Quest for Value Distributors, at the address
or telephone number listed on the back cover. SHARES IN THE FUNDS ARE NOT
DEPOSITS OR OBLIGATIONS OF, OR GUARANTEED OR ENDORSED BY ANY BANK AND THE SHARES
OF THE FUNDS ARE NOT FEDERALLY INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE
CORPORATION, THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD OR ANY OTHER AGENCY AND ARE SUBJECT TO
INVESTMENT RISKS, INCLUDING POSSIBLE LOSS OF THE PRINCIPAL INVESTED.
  The Funds offer three separate classes of shares: Class A, B and C shares.
Shares of each Class represent an identical interest in the investment portfolio
of a Fund, and generally have the same rights, but are offered under different
sales charge and distribution fee arrangements. The offering of Class A, B and C
shares presents the investor with the opportunity to choose the sales charge and
distribution fee arrangement which is most beneficial, depending on the amount
of purchase, the length of time the investor expects to hold the shares, and
other circumstances.
  Shares of each Class are offered at the net asset value next determined after
receipt of your purchase order plus an initial ("front-end") sales charge for
purchases of Class A shares, or a deferred sales charge for purchases of Class B
or Class C shares. (See "How to Buy Shares," p. 17) Class B and C shares bear a
higher ongoing distribution fee than Class A shares, and investors should
understand that over time the accumulated distribution charges on Class B and C
shares may exceed the amount of the initial sales charge and ongoing
distribution fee on Class A shares. (See "Distribution Plan," p. 35)

THE EXAMPLES SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED INDICATIONS OF PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES OR
PERFORMANCE, AND ACTUAL EXPENSES OR PERFORMANCE MAY VARY FROM THOSE SHOWN.

  The  purpose of the table is to  assist you in understanding the various costs
and expenses  that you  would bear,  whether directly  or indirectly.  For  more
complete  descriptions  of  the various  costs  and  expenses, see  "How  to Buy
Shares," "Investment Management Agreement" and "Distribution Plan".

  Investors should be aware that over time,  Class B and C shareholders may  pay
more than the equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charges permitted by the
National Association of Securities Dealers Rules of Fair Practice.

    (1)  Certain  purchases of  Class A  shares of  $1 million  or more  are not
subject to  front-end sales  charges,  but a  contingent deferred  sales  charge
("CDSC") is imposed on the proceeds of such shares equal to 1% if the shares are
redeemed within the first 12 months after the end of the calendar month of their
purchase,  and .5 of 1% if redeemed within the next 12 months. Purchases made on
or  after  July  1,  1994  of  the  Quest  for  Value  Fund,  Inc.,  the   Small
Capitalization  Fund, the Growth  and Income Fund, the  Opportunity Fund and the
Global Equity Fund are subject to a CDSC of 1% if the shares are redeemed within
the first 12 months after the end  of the calendar month of their purchase.  See
"How to Buy Shares."

    (2) Includes an administration fee of .25% of average net assets.

    (3)  The expenses for certain funds  have been restated to reflect voluntary
expense limitations currently in effect.  Currently, expenses of the Growth  and
Income and Global Income Funds are voluntarily limited by Quest Advisors so that
annualized  operating Fund  Expenses (as  defined on  p. 33)  exclusive of Class
Expenses (as defined  on p.  33) do not  exceed 1.50%  and 1.45%,  respectively.
These  Fund Expense  limitations may be  discontinued at any  time. Without such
limitations, annual  operating expenses  as a  percentage of  average daily  net
assets would have been as follows: Growth and Income Fund: Class A: 2.32%, Class
B:  2.93% and Class C:  3.10%; and Global Income Fund:  Class A: 2.09%, Class B:
2.88% and Class C: 2.84%.  Certain expenses of the  Growth and Income Fund  were
waived  in  order to  comply with  a state's  expense limitations.  The expenses
stated for  the U.S.  Government Income,  Investment Quality  Income and  Global
Equity  Funds reflect what the expenses of those Funds would have been for their
respective fiscal years if Quest Advisors had not waived a portion of its fee.

    (4) See "Distribution Plan." Although the Global Income Fund's  Distribution
Plan  and Agreement  ("Plan") for Class  A shares  authorizes the Fund  to pay a
maximum service fee of .25% of average  daily net assets and a distribution  fee
of  .05% of average daily net assets, the Board of Directors of the Fund has set
a maximum .25% service fee under the Plan.

                                                                               3

 INTRODUCTION

The Quest for Value Funds are a family of open-end mutual funds offering many
     different investment objectives to select from ranging from funds that
     invest primarily in bonds or other fixed income securities to funds that
invest in common stocks of large or small companies. You can select from all of
these funds in order to meet your long term investment objectives. This
introduction is designed to provide an overview of the funds. More information
and greater detail is provided in the remainder of this Prospectus.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF INVESTING IN QUEST FOR VALUE FUNDS? Quest for Value
Funds offer the individual investor or qualified retirement plans access to
professional money managers that are normally available only to investors with
several millions to invest. The Quest for Value Funds are managed by Quest for
Value Advisors ("Quest Advisors"), a subsidiary of Oppenheimer Capital, one of
the nation's largest institutional money managers, which has been in business
since 1968.

  In addition to professional money management, the Funds offer the benefit of
diversification. Your investment is spread over many different securities in
many different industries. Diversification is so important in reducing risk that
the law requires all qualified retirement plans to diversify their investments.
Professional management and diversification offers you the opportunity to
improve your returns and reduce the risk that you would incur if you
concentrated your investments in just a limited number of securities.

WHAT FUNDS CAN I INVEST IN? There are many Quest for Value Funds that you can
choose from to meet your investment objectives. We have funds that invest in
stocks, bonds or a combination of stocks and bonds, as well as funds that invest
in foreign securities. See "Investment Objectives of the Funds," following this
Introduction, for a description of the specific investment objectives of each of
the Funds:

FUNDS INVESTING IN COMMON STOCKS
   Quest for Value Fund
   Small Capitalization Fund

FUNDS INVESTING IN STOCKS AND BONDS
   Opportunity Fund
   Growth and Income Fund

FUNDS INVESTING IN BONDS

FUNDS INVESTING IN FOREIGN SECURITIES
   Global Equity Fund
   Global Income Fund

  In addition, Quest for Value manages and distributes money market funds and
tax-exempt funds. Ask your broker or dealer for a prospectus.

HOW CAN I PURCHASE SHARES? You can purchase shares through your broker or dealer
who has a sales agreement with Quest for Value Distributors ("Quest
Distributors"). The Funds offer Class A, B and C shares. Class A shares have an
initial sales charge that declines for larger orders. Purchases of $1 million or
more of Class A shares of the U.S. Government Income Fund and the Investment
Quality Income Fund have no initial sales charge but are subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge ("CDSC") if held for less than two years. Purchases of $1
million or more of Class A shares of the Quest for Value Fund, Inc., the Small
Capitalization Fund, the Growth and Income Fund, the Opportunity Fund and the
Global Equity Fund made on or after July 1, 1994 have no initial sales charge
but are subject to a CDSC if held for less than one year; if such purchases were
made before July 1, 1994 they are subject to a CDSC if held for less than two
years. Class A shares are also subject to an ongoing distribution fee pursuant
to the

6
<PAGE>
Distribution Plan and Agreement for Class A shares ("Plan") at the following
annual rates of each Fund's average daily net assets: U.S. Government Income
Fund--.05%, Investment Quality Income and Growth and Income Fund--.15%, all
other Funds except Global Income Fund--.25%. Each Fund's Class A Shares also pay
a service fee at the annual rate of .25% of average daily net assets. Although
the Global Income Fund is authorized to pay a distribution fee of .05% and a
service fee of .25% under its Plan, the Board of Directors of that Fund has set
a maximum fee under the Plan of .25%.

  Class B shares incur no initial sales charge but are subject to a CDSC that
declines over time for shares held less than six years; Class B shares are only
available to investors purchasing less than $250,000. Class B shares are also
subject to an ongoing distribution fee pursuant to the Distribution Plan and
Agreement for Class B shares at the annual rate of .75% of each Fund's average
daily net assets and a service fee at the annual rate of .25% of average daily
net assets. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares of the
same Fund eight years after the end of the calendar month in which the purchase
order for such Class B shares was accepted, on the basis of the relative net
asset values of the two classes, subject to the terms described under
"Conversion of Class B Shares," p. 20.

  Class C shares incur no initial sales charge but are subject to a CDSC for
shares held less than one year. Class C shares of each Fund are subject to an
ongoing distribution fee pursuant to the Distribution Plan and Agreement for
Class C shares at the annual rate of .75% of each Fund's average daily net
assets and a service fee at the annual rate of .25% of average daily net assets.

  In determining which class of shares to purchase, investors should consider
whether during the anticipated life of their investment in a Fund the
accumulated distribution fees and deferred sales charges on Class B or C shares
would be more or less than the amount of the initial sales charges and
distribution fees paid on Class A shares held for the same amount of time.
Investors who qualify for significantly reduced sales charges for Class A shares
or who expect to hold their investment for an extended period of time might find
the initial sales charge alternative preferable. However, because the initial
sales charge is deducted at the time of purchase, investors should consider the
extent to which any return might otherwise be realized on the additional funds
invested under the deferred sales charge alternative and weigh such
consideration against the higher per share return of Class A shares afforded by
the lower distribution fees of such shares. Other investors might determine it
more advantageous to have all their funds invested initially, although they
would be subject to higher ongoing distribution fees and, possibly, a CDSC.

ARE THERE SPECIAL SALES CHARGES FOR QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS? The Funds offer
qualified retirement plans several different ways of buying shares at reduced
sales charges. Class A shares offer a special lower sales charge structure based
on the number of eligible employees in the plan, and do not have a sales charge
for sales over $1,000,000 or for retirement plans covering at least 50
employees. Class B shares currently are not being offered to non-qualified
retirement plans and qualified retirement plans under Internal Revenue Code
Sections 401(a), 401(k), 403(b) and 457 but are being offered to qualified
retirement plans under Internal Revenue Code Section 408(a). The CDSC is waived
for certain benefit payments from these plans. See "Exemptions from Class A, B
and C CDSC" p. 21. Your broker or dealer can help you establish an IRA, 401(k),
403(b) or pension and profit sharing plan using the Quest for Value Funds.

                                                                               7

HOW  DO I GET  MONEY OUT OF A  FUND? You can  receive periodic income dividends.
Some of our Funds distribute income  monthly, some quarterly and some for  which
income is not a primary goal, annually. You can establish a withdrawal plan that
will send you a set amount or percentage of your account on a regular basis.

  You can redeem shares through your broker or dealer or through Quest
Distributors directly. Some of the Funds offer the ability to redeem shares by
writing a check on the shares in your account. For convenience, you can also
redeem shares by telephone. When you redeem shares you will receive the value of
the shares that are redeemed (less any applicable CDSC). This value can be more
or less than your purchase price depending on the results of the investments
that the fund holds. A check will be mailed to you for your redemption (or the
proceeds wired to your bank) on the day after a redemption request is received.

WHERE CAN I GET INFORMATION ABOUT MY INVESTMENT? The Funds send all shareholders
an annual and semi-annual report. The annual report contains information about
the Funds' investment management strategies and performance; you can receive a
copy of this report from your broker or dealer or from the Fund free of charge.
You will receive a confirmation from the Funds' transfer agent, State Street
Bank and Trust Company, after every transaction (purchase, redemption, exchange
or distribution). The confirmation will show you the number of shares that you
own. You can determine the value of your shares by looking up the price in the
mutual fund pages of most daily newspapers. You can also get current information
from your broker or dealer or by calling the Fund at 800-232-FUND
(800-232-3863).

WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF INVESTING IN MUTUAL FUNDS? The Funds are not fixed
investments and their net asset values will fluctuate because the values of the
securities that they own will fluctuate. On redemption the value of your shares
may be more or less than your investment. See "Risk Factors."

- ---------------------------------------------

 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES OF THE FUNDS

Quest Advisors manages the Funds in accordance with their investment objectives
       described below. Quest Advisors' equity investment policy is overseen by
       George Long, Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer for
Oppenheimer Capital, the parent of Quest Advisors. Mr. Long has been with
Oppenheimer Capital since 1982. Fixed income investment policy is overseen by
Robert J. Bluestone, Managing Director and Director of Fixed Income Management
for Oppenheimer Capital. Mr. Bluestone has been with the firm since 1986.

QUEST FOR VALUE FUND seeks capital appreciation through investment in securities
(primarily equity securities) of companies believed by Quest Advisors to be
undervalued in the marketplace in relation to factors such as the companies'
assets, earnings, growth potential and cash flows. For the purposes of this
Prospectus the term equity securities is defined as common stocks and preferred
stocks; bonds, debentures and notes convertible into common stocks; and
depository receipts for such securities. Investments of the Quest for Value Fund
are managed by Eileen Rominger, Managing Director of Oppenheimer Capital. She
has been portfolio manager and Vice President of this Fund since 1989. Ms.
Rominger has been an analyst and portfolio manager at Oppenheimer Capital since
1981.

SMALL CAPITALIZATION FUND seeks capital appreciation through investments in a
diversified portfolio which under normal conditions will have at least 65% of
its assets invested in equity securities of companies with market
capitalizations under $1

8
<PAGE>
billion. The Fund's investment approach will attempt to identify securities of
companies whose prices are favorable in relation to their book values and/or
sales and securities of companies which have limited operating leverage
(relatively stable business with below average sensitivity to changes in the
general economy) and/or limited financial leverage (a ratio of debt to assets,
or cost of debt service to income, which is meaningfully below those of their
competitors). The Small Capitalization Fund is managed by Jenny Beth Jones,
Senior Vice President of Oppenheimer Capital, and Louis Goldstein, Vice
President of Oppenheimer Capital . Ms. Jones has been portfolio manager and Vice
President of this Fund since 1990. Previously Ms. Jones was a portfolio manager
and analyst with Mutual of America. Mr. Goldstein has been portfolio manager of
the Fund since January 3, 1995. He has been a security analyst with Oppenheimer
Capital since 1991. From 1988 to 1991 he was a security analyst with David J.
Greene & Co.

U.S. GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND seeks to provide shareholders with a high level of
current income together with protection of capital by investing exclusively in
debt obligations, including mortgage-backed securities, issued or guaranteed by
the United States government, its agencies or instrumentalities ("U.S.
government securities"), and in related futures, options and repurchase
agreements. The Fund will attempt to enhance its income and reduce the impact of
changing interest rates on the value of its shares by engaging in options and
financial futures transactions. Such transactions will tend to limit
opportunities for appreciation during periods of declining interest rates. The
average maturity of the Fund's investments will vary based on market conditions.
It is estimated that the average dollar weighted maturity of the Fund will be
between five and ten years. The U.S. Government Income Fund is managed by Vikki
Hanges, Vice President of Oppenheimer Capital. Ms. Hanges has been portfolio
manager and Vice President of this Fund since 1993. Ms. Hanges assisted with the
management of Quest Cash Reserves, Inc., a money market fund with five
portfolios managed by Quest Advisors, from 1987 through 1992. Ms. Hanges has
been on the fixed income trading desk at Oppenheimer Capital since 1982. Howard
Potter, President and Chief Executive of New Castle Advisers, Inc., advises the
Fund on investment strategies for options and financial futures. From 1986-1991
he was a Vice President in the Fixed Income Department at Oppenheimer & Co.,
Inc. ("Opco") and while Opco acted as subadvisor to this Fund from 1988 to 1991,
Mr. Potter was responsible for advising this Fund regarding options and
financial futures.

INVESTMENT QUALITY INCOME FUND seeks to provide shareholders with as high a
level of current income as is consistent with conservation of principal through
a portfolio consisting primarily of fixed income obligations. Under normal
conditions, at least 80% of the Fund's assets will be invested in corporate
bonds, U.S. government securities and/or mortgage backed debt securities rated A
or better by Moody's Investor Services Inc. (Moody's) or Standard & Poors
Corporation ("S&P"), or, if unrated, considered to be of comparable quality by
Quest Advisors. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in the lowest
category of investment-grade corporate bonds, those which are rated Baa3 by
Moody's or BBB - by S&P or, if unrated, considered to be of comparable quality
by Quest Advisors. The term bonds includes debentures but does not include
bills, commercial paper or notes. The average maturity of the Fund's investments
will vary based on market conditions. It is anticipated, however, that the
average dollar weighted maturity of the Fund will be greater than 20 years. The
Investment Quality Income Fund is managed by George H. Tilghman, Jr., Vice
President of Oppenheimer Capital. Mr. Tilghman has been responsible for the
management of this fund's portfolio since its inception. He was named Vice
President of the

                                                                               9
<PAGE>
Fund in 1993. He was previously a fixed income portfolio manager in
International Investment Management at Brown Brothers Harriman & Co.

OPPORTUNITY FUND seeks growth of capital over time through investments in a
diversified portfolio of common stocks, bonds and cash equivalents, the
proportions of which will vary based upon management's assessment of the
relative values of each investment under prevailing market conditions. The
Fund's portfolio will normally be invested primarily in common stocks and
securities convertible into common stock. During periods when common stocks
appear to be overvalued and when value differentials are such that fixed-income
obligations appear to present meaningful capital growth opportunities relative
to common stocks or pending investment in securities with capital growth
opportunities, up to 50% or more of the Fund's assets may be invested in bonds
and other fixed-income obligations. This may include cash equivalents which do
not generate capital appreciation. The bonds in which the Fund invests will be
limited to U.S. government obligations, mortgage-backed securities,
investment-grade corporate debt obligations and unrated obligations, including
those of foreign issuers, which management believes to be of comparable quality.
The investments of the Opportunity Fund are managed by Richard J. Glasebrook II,
Managing Director of Oppenheimer Capital. Mr. Glasebrook has been portfolio
manager and Vice President of this Fund since 1991. Previously, he was a Partner
with Delafield Asset Management where he served as a portfolio manager and
analyst.

GROWTH AND INCOME FUND seeks to achieve a combination of growth of capital and
investment income with growth of capital as the primary objective, by investing
in securities that are believed by Quest Advisors to be undervalued in the
marketplace and to offer the possibility of increased value. The Fund invests in
marketable securities traded on national securities exchanges and in the
over-the-counter market. Ordinarily, the Fund invests its assets in common
stocks (with emphasis on dividend paying stocks), preferred stocks, securities
convertible into common stock, and debt securities. The Fund may invest in
lower-quality, high-yielding convertible debt securities and other debt
securities and currently intends to limit its investments in these securities to
up to 25% of its assets. See "Risk Factors." By focusing its purchases of equity
securities on those issued by mature companies which it believes to be
under-valued, the Fund seeks to achieve both its objectives of obtaining capital
appreciation as well as income from dividends. The Fund's purchases of
convertible securities similarly affords it the potential of capital growth
through the conversion option and greater investment income prior to conversion.
The Fund's purchases of debt securities furthers the objective of investment
income and offers potential for capital appreciation in an economic environment
of declining interest rates or as a result of improved issuer credit quality. It
is anticipated that the Fund, as a result of its investment approach, will be
less volatile than the market in general. The Growth and Income Fund is managed
by Colin Glinsman, Vice President of Oppenheimer Capital. Mr. Glinsman has been
portfolio manager and Vice President of this Fund since 1992. Since 1991, Mr.
Glinsman has assisted with the management of the Quest for Value Dual Purpose
Fund, Inc., a closed-end mutual fund managed by Quest Advisors, and has been a
securities analyst with Oppenheimer Capital since 1989. He was previously an
investment banker with Prudential Securities and Morgan Grenfell, and qualified
as a certified public accountant while with Coopers & Lybrand.

GLOBAL EQUITY FUND seeks long-term capital appreciation through pursuit of a
global investment strategy primarily involving equity securities. The Fund may
invest anywhere in the world with no requirement that any specific percentage of
its assets be committed to any given country. Under

10
<PAGE>
normal circumstances, at least 65% of the Fund's total assets will be invested
in equity securities in at least three different countries, one of which may be
the United States. Opportunities for capital appreciation may also be presented
by debt securities. The Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in debt
obligations with remaining maturities of one year or more of U.S. or foreign
corporate, governmental or bank issuers. It is the present intention of the
Fund, although not a fundamental policy, not to invest more than 5% of its total
assets in debt securities rated below investment-grade. Domestic investments of
this Fund are managed by Richard J. Glasebrook II, Managing Director of
Oppenheimer Capital. Mr. Glasebrook has been portfolio manager and Vice
President and of this Fund since 1991. Effective January 1, 1994, the Fund's
investments in foreign securities are managed by Pierre Daviron, President and
Chief Investment Officer of Oppenheimer Capital International, a division of
Oppenheimer Capital created in 1993. Mr. Daviron was named portfolio manager and
Vice President of this Fund in 1993. Previously, he was Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer at Indosuez Gartmore Asset Management, a division of Banque
Indosuez, Paris, France. Prior thereto he was a Managing Director in Mergers and
Acquisitions at J.P. Morgan.

GLOBAL INCOME FUND seeks investment income as its primary objective, with
capital appreciation as a secondary objective through a non-diversified
portfolio. The Fund invests primarily in investment-grade debt securities of
foreign and domestic corporations and foreign governments, or their agencies and
instrumentalities, and in U.S. government securities. Generally, the debt
securities in which the Global Income Fund will invest will be those believed by
Quest Advisors to offer potential for capital appreciation in addition to
investment income, because of such factors as anticipated changes in the
comparative level of interest rates in different countries or anticipated
improvements in the issuer's credit rating. Under normal circumstances the Fund
will invest at least 65% of its total assets in the securities of issuers
located in not less than three different countries, one of which may be the
United States. The Fund may also invest in preferred stocks, securities
convertible into common stock and short-term money market instruments.
Investments in preferred stocks and securities convertible into common stock
will be limited to 10% of the total assets of the Fund at the time of purchase.
The Fund may invest in lower-quality high-yielding debt securities (also known
as "junk bonds") of foreign issuers which may be located in countries with
"emerging markets" (as defined under "Emerging Market Countries," below). The
Fund's current intention is to limit its investment in these securities to up to
35% of its net assets. See "Risk Factors" and "Investment Restrictions and
Techniques." The Fund also may engage in certain transactions in options and
futures. See "Risk Factors" and "Investment Restrictions and Techniques." The
Fund's limitations respecting options and futures transactions, preferred stock,
convertible securities, lower-rated debt secu-
rities and foreign currency are non-fundamental policies and can be changed
without a vote of shareholders. It is anticipated that the average dollar
weighted maturity of the Fund will be between 5 and 10 years. The Global Income
Fund is managed by Richard A. Gluck, Vice President of Oppenheimer Capital. Mr.
Gluck was named portfolio manager and Vice President of this Fund in 1993. He
was previously a global fixed income portfolio manager with Dean Witter
InterCapital and Clemente Capital.
                             ---------------------

  To provide liquidity for the purchase of new instruments and to effect
redemptions of shares, the Funds typically invest a part of their assets in
various types of U.S. government securities and

                                                                              11
<PAGE>
high quality, short-term debt securities with remaining maturities of one year
or less such as government obligations, certificates of deposit, bankers'
acceptances, commercial paper, short-term corporate securities and repurchase
agreements ("money market instruments"). For temporary defensive purposes, the
Funds may invest up to 100% of their assets in such securities and, in the case
of the Growth and Income Fund, preferred stock. At any time that a Fund for
temporary defensive purposes invests in such securities, to the extent of such
investments, it is not pursuing its investment objectives. In the case of the
Global Equity Fund and Global Income Fund, such money market instruments may be
issued by entities organized in the U.S. or any foreign country, denominated in
dollars or in the currency of any foreign country.

  In the future, each of the Quest for Value, U.S. Government Income, Growth and
Income, Global Equity and Global Income Funds may endeavor to achieve its
respective investment objective by investing its assets in a no-load diversified
open-end management investment company which has the same portfolio manager and
substantially the same investment objective as that Fund. This possible
investment has been approved by shareholder vote. Shareholders will receive
prior notice with respect to the commencement of any such investment.

  Except as indicated, the investment objectives and policies described above
are fundamental and may not be changed without a vote of the shareholders.

- ---------------------------------------------

 RISK FACTORS

The value of the Funds' shares will fluctuate and on redemption the value of
     your shares may be more or less than your investment.

  There are two types of risk generally associated with owning equity
securities: market risk and financial risk. Market risk is the risk associated
with the movement of the stock market in general. Financial risk is associated
with the financial condition and profitability of the underlying company.
Smaller capitalization companies may experience higher growth rates and higher
failure rates than do larger capitalization companies. The trading volume of
securities of smaller capitalization companies is normally less than that of
larger capitalization companies and, therefore, may disproportionately affect
their market price, tending to make them rise more in response to buying demand
and fall more in response to selling pressure than is the case with larger
capitalization companies.

  There are two types of risk associated with owning debt securities: interest
rate risk and credit risk. Interest rate risk relates to fluctuations in market
value arising from changes in interest rates. If interest rates rise, the value
of debt securities will normally decline and if interest rates fall, the value
of debt securities will normally increase. All debt securities, including U.S.
government securities, which are generally considered to be the most
creditworthy of all debt obligations, are subject to interest rate risk.
Securities with longer maturities generally will have a more pronounced reaction
to interest rate changes than shorter term securities.

  Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to make periodic interest
payments and ultimately repay principal at maturity. Bonds rated Baa3 by Moody's
or BBB- by S&P, which the Quest for Value, Small Capitalization, Investment
Quality Income, Opportunity, Growth and Income, Global Equity and Global Income
Funds may acquire, are described by those rating agencies as having speculative
elements. If a debt security is rated below investment grade by one rating
agency and as investment grade by a different rating agency, Quest Advisors will
make a determination as to the debt security's investment grade quality. It is
the present intention of the Quest for Value, Small

12
<PAGE>
Capitalization and Global Equity Funds to invest no more than 5% of their
respective assets in bonds rated below Baa3 by Moody's or BBB- by S&P (commonly
known as "high yield" or "junk bonds"). In the event that any of those Funds
intends in the future to invest more than 5% of its assets in such bonds,
appropriate disclosures will be made to existing and prospective shareholders.
The Growth and Income Fund may invest up to 25% of the value of net assets in
convertible debt and other debt securities rated not lower than Caa by Moody's
or CCC by S&P, Fitch Investors Service, Inc. ("Fitch") or Duff & Phelps, Inc.
("Duff") or, if unrated, deemed to be of comparable quality by Quest Advisors.
The Global Income Fund may invest up to 35% of its net assets in lower-quality
high-yielding debt securities of government and corporate issuers including
securities of issuers located in emerging market countries. Such securities may
be rated Ca or C by Moody's or CI or D by S&P, or if unrated, deemed to be of
comparable quality in the opinion of Quest Advisors. As used in this Prospectus,
an "emerging market country" is any country considered to be an emerging market
country by the World Bank at the time of the Fund's investment. Such securities
may be subject to higher risks and greater market fluctuations than are
lower-yielding higher-rated securities. Securities rated Ba 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. Securities rated BB by S&P, Fitch or Duff are regarded as having
predominantly speculative characteristics and, while such obligations have less
near-term vulnerability to default than other speculative grade debt, they 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 payment. Securities rated Caa by Moody's or CCC by S&P,
Fitch and Duff are considered to have predominantly speculative characteristics
with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal and to be of poor
standing. Securities rated Ca by Moody's are speculative to a high degree; such
issues are often in default or have other marked shortcomings. A security rated
C by Moody's has extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment
standing. Securities rated CI by S&P are income bonds on which no interest is
being paid, and securities rated D by S&P are in payment default. Debt
obligations of issuers outside the United States and its territories are rated
on substantially the same basis as domestic corporate and municipal issues. The
ratings measure the creditworthiness of the issuer but do not take into account
potential actions by the government controlling the currency of denomination
which might have a negative effect on exchange rates. The Growth and Income and
Global Income Funds do not intend to hold such lower-rated securities unless the
opportunities for capital appreciation and income, combined, remain attractive.
See the Appendix in the SAI for a more complete general description of Moody's,
S&P, Fitch and Duff 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 risk of these
securities. Therefore, although these ratings may be an initial criterion for
selection of such investments, Quest Advisors also will evaluate these
securities and the ability of the issuers of such securities to pay interest and
principal. The Growth and Income and Global Income Funds' ability to achieve
their investment objectives may be more dependent on Quest Advisors' credit
analysis than might be the case for a fund that invested in higher rated
securities. Once the rating of a security has been changed, the Growth and
Income and

                                                                              13
<PAGE>
Global Income Funds will consider all circumstances deemed relevant in
determining whether to continue to hold the security. The market price and yield
of securities rated Ba or lower by Moody's and BB or lower by S&P, Fitch or Duff
are more volatile than those of higher rated securities. Factors adversely
affecting the market price and yield of these securities will adversely affect
the Growth and Income or Global Income 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 market conditions could make it difficult at
times for the Growth and Income and Global Income Funds to sell certain
securities. The market values of certain lower rated debt securities tend to
reflect individual corporate developments 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 higher
rated securities. Companies that issue such securities are often highly
leveraged and may not have available to them more traditional methods of
financing. Consequently, the risk associated with acquiring the securities of
such issuers is greater than with higher rated securities. The Funds are not
obliged to dispose of securities due to changes by the rating agencies. Although
there is no minimum rating for the investments of the Quest for Value, Small
Capitalization, Global Equity, or Growth and Income Funds, the Funds do not
intend to invest in bonds which are in default. The Global Income Fund may
invest in bonds which are in default, which could result in increased costs
associated with the sale or recovery of such bonds. To the extent the Funds
invest in mortgage-backed securities, they will be subject to prepayment risks.
Prepayments of mortgage principal reduce the stream of future payments and
generate cash which must be reinvested. Prepayments tend to increase following
declines in interest rates, resulting in reinvestment in a lower interest rate
environment. The ability of the Investment Quality Income Fund to generate
income is limited by its policy to invest at least 80% of its assets in
investment-grade securities.

  The Global Income Fund is non-diversified as that term is defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940 but intends to continue to qualify as a
"regulated investment company" for Federal income tax purposes. This means
generally that more than 5% of such Fund's total assets may be invested in any
one issuer, but only if at the close of each fiscal quarter the aggregate amount
of such holdings does not exceed 50% of the value of its total assets and no
more than 25% of the value of its total assets is invested in the securities of
a single issuer. As a non-diversified investment company, the Global Income Fund
may present greater risks than diversified companies because the Fund can invest
in a smaller number of issuers.

  The nature and degree of market and financial risk affecting an investment in
each of the Opportunity Fund and Growth and Income Fund will depend on the
relative amounts of the Fund's assets committed to equity, longer-term debt or
money market securities at any particular time.

  Higher portfolio turnover can be expected to result in a higher incidence of
short-term capital gains upon which taxes will be payable and will also result
in correspondingly higher transaction costs. Certain of the Funds may have
turnover rates of up to 250%.

ADDITIONAL RISKS OF FOREIGN SECURITIES: All Funds (except the U.S. Government
Income Fund) may purchase foreign securities that are listed on a domestic or
foreign securities exchange, traded in domestic or foreign over-the counter
markets or represented by American Depository Receipts. There is no limit to the
amount of such foreign securities the Funds may acquire. It will be the general
practice of the Global Equity Fund to invest

14
<PAGE>
in foreign equity securities and the general practice of the Global Income Fund
to invest in foreign debt securities. Certain factors and risks are presented by
investment in foreign securities which are in addition to the usual risks
inherent in domestic securities. Foreign companies are not necessarily subject
to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards or other
regulatory requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies. Thus,
there may be less available information concerning non-U.S. issuers of
securities held by a Fund than is available concerning U.S. companies. In
addition, with respect to some foreign countries, there is the possibility of
nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation; income earned in the
foreign nation being subject to taxation, including withholding taxes on
interest and dividends (see "Tax Status"), or other taxes imposed with respect
to investments in the foreign nation; limitations on the removal of securities,
property or other assets of a fund; difficulties in pursuing legal remedies and
obtaining judgments in foreign courts, or political or social instability or
diplomatic developments which could affect U.S. investments in those countries.
For a description of the risks of possible losses through holding of securities
in foreign custodian banks and depositories, see "Risk Factors and Special
Considerations" in the SAI.

  Securities of many non-U.S. companies may be less liquid and their prices more
volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. Non-U.S. stock exchanges
and brokers are generally subject to less governmental supervision and
regulation than in the U.S. and commissions on foreign stock exchanges are
generally higher than negotiated commissions on U.S. transactions. In addition,
there may in certain instances be delays in the settlement of non-U.S. stock
exchange transactions. Certain countries restrict foreign investments in their
securities markets. These restrictions may limit or preclude investment in
certain countries, industries or market sectors, or may increase the cost of
investing in securities of particular companies. Purchasing the shares of
investment companies which invest in securities of a given country may be the
only or the most efficient way to invest in that country. This may require the
payment of a premium above the net asset value of such investment companies and
the return will be reduced by the operating expenses of those investment
companies.

  A decline in the value of the U.S. dollar against the value of any particular
currency will cause an increase in the U.S. dollar value of a Fund's holdings
denominated in such currency. Conversely, a decline in the value of any
particular currency against the U.S. dollar will cause a decline in the U.S.
dollar value of the Fund's holdings of securities denominated in such currency.
Some foreign currency values may be volatile and there is the possibility of
governmental controls on currency exchange or governmental intervention in
currency markets which could adversely affect a Fund. The Funds do not intend to
speculate in foreign currency in connection with the purchase or sale of
securities on a foreign securities exchange but may enter into foreign currency
contracts to hedge their foreign currency exposure. While those transactions may
minimize the impact of currency appreciation and depreciation, the Funds will
bear a cost for entering into the transaction and such transactions do not
protect against a decline in the security's value relative to other securities
denominated in that currency.

  The Global Equity Fund may invest its assets in American Depository Receipts
("ADRs"), European Depository Receipts ("EDRs") or Global Depository Receipts
("GDRs") which are U.S. dollar-denominated receipts that represent and may be
converted into the underlying foreign security. ADRs, GDRs or EDRs are issued by
persons other

                                                                              15
<PAGE>
than the underlying issuer, typically a domestic bank or trust company. Issuers
of the stock of ADRs, EDRs or GDRs sponsored by banks or trust companies are not
obligated to disclose material information in the United States and therefore,
there may not be a correlation between such information and the market value of
such ADRs, GDRs or EDRs.

EMERGING MARKET COUNTRIES: Certain developing countries may have relatively
unstable governments, economies based on only a few industries that are
dependent upon international trade and reduced secondary market liquidity.
Foreign investment in certain emerging market countries is restricted or
controlled in varying degrees. In the past, securities in these countries have
experienced greater price movement, both positive and negative, than securities
of companies located in developed countries. Lower-rated high-yielding emerging
market securities may be considered to have speculative elements.

SOVEREIGN DEBT OBLIGATIONS: The Global Income Fund and the Global Equity Fund
may purchase sovereign debt instruments issued or guaranteed by foreign
governments or their agencies, including those located in emerging market
countries. Sovereign debt may be in the form of conventional securities or other
types of debt instruments such as loans or loan participations. Sovereign debt
of emerging market countries may involve a high degree of risk and may be in
default or present the risk of default. Certain emerging market countries have
historically experienced, and may continue to experience, high inflation and
interest rates, large fluctuations in exchange rates, large amounts of external
debt, trade difficulties and extreme poverty and unemployment. Governmental
entities responsible for repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to
repay principal and interest when due. In the event of a default, the Funds may
have limited legal recourse against the issuer or guarantor. Remedies must in
some cases be pursued in the courts of the defaulting party itself and the
ability of holders of foreign government debt securities to obtain recourse may
depend on the political climate in the relevant country. No assurance can be
given that the holders of commercial bank debt will not contest payments to
holders of other sovereign debt obligations in the event of a default under
their commercial bank loan agreements.

EASTERN EUROPE: The Global Equity Fund presently intends not to invest more than
5% of its net assets in companies located in Eastern European countries, but may
invest in companies located outside of such countries which conduct business in
such countries.

OPTIONS AND FUTURES: Different uses of futures and options have different risk
and return characteristics. Generally, selling futures contracts, purchasing put
options and writing call options are strategies designed to protect against
falling security prices and can limit potential gains if prices rise. Purchasing
futures contracts, purchasing call options and writing put options are
strategies whose returns tend to rise and fall together with securities prices
and can cause losses if prices fall. If securities prices remain unchanged over
time, option writing strategies tend to be profitable while option buying
strategies tend to be unprofitable. The U.S. Government Income Fund will write
covered put and call options on U.S. Government securities to generate
additional income through the receipt of options premiums. CURRENTLY, EACH OF
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT INCOME, INVESTMENT QUALITY INCOME, GLOBAL INCOME, GLOBAL
EQUITY, GROWTH AND INCOME, SMALL CAPITALIZATION AND QUEST FOR VALUE FUNDS INTEND
TO ENGAGE ONLY IN FUTURES CONTRACTS, OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS OR OPTIONS ON
STOCK INDEXES FOR BONA FIDE HEDGING OR OTHER NON-SPECULATIVE PURPOSES. The
Global Income Fund may also write covered call options and purchase

16
<PAGE>
put options. The Small Capitalization Fund may write covered call options on
individual securities. The Funds will not enter into any leveraged futures
transactions.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: All Funds may acquire
securities subject to repurchase agreements. The Global Income Fund may enter
into reverse repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase
agreements involve certain risks.

  For a further description of options and futures, repurchase agreements and
reverse repurchase agreements and other investment techniques used by the Funds,
see "Investment Restrictions and Techniques."

- ---------------------------------------------

 HOW TO BUY SHARES

The Funds offer Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Class A shares are sold
     with an initial sales charge that declines for larger orders. Purchases of
     $1 million or more of Class A shares of the U.S. Government Income Fund and
the Investment Quality Income Fund are sold without an initial sales charge but
are subject to a CDSC if held less than two years. Purchases of $1 million or
more of Class A shares of the Quest for Value Fund, Inc., the Small
Capitalization Fund, the Growth and Income Fund, the Opportunity Fund and the
Global Equity Fund made on or after July 1, 1994 are sold without an initial
sales charge but are subject to CDSC if held less than one year; if such
purchases were made prior to July 1, 1994 they are subject to a CDSC if held for
less than two years. Class B shares are sold without an initial sales charge but
are subject to a CDSC if held for less than six years. Class B shares are
available only to investors purchasing less than $250,000 in the aggregate and
currently are not being offered to non-qualified deferred compensation plans and
qualified retirement plans under Internal Revenue Code Sections 401(a), 401(k),
403(b) and 457 but are being offered to qualified retirement plans under
Internal Revenue Code Section 408(a). Class C shares are sold without an initial
sales charge but are subject to a CDSC if held less than one year. Each class is
described below in greater detail. The different classes provide you with
alternative methods of acquiring shares and you should determine which class
best meets your individual needs. Dealers may be compensated at different rates
for selling Class A, Class B or Class C shares.

  Your initial purchase of either Class A, B or C shares must be made through a
broker or dealer having a sales agreement with Quest Distributors, an affiliate
of Quest Advisors. Subsequent purchases of shares may also be made through your
broker or dealer by mailing your payment to the Fund's Transfer Agent, State
Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"), P.O. Box 8505, Boston, MA 02266.
Your initial investment must be at least $1,000 and subsequent investments must
be at least $250. There are no minimums for shares purchased under an Automatic
Investment Plan or under employee benefit plans.

  Some investors may qualify to purchase Class A shares at net asset value
without a sales charge. (See "Reduced Sales Charges--Net Asset Value Purchases,"
and "Additional Information--Purchases by Former Shareholders of AMA Family of
Funds and Unified Funds.") Class B and C shares will not be sold to investors
who qualify to purchase Class A shares at net asset value, as described on pages
20 and 38.

  Sales of all classes of shares will be suspended during any period when the
determination of net asset value is suspended, and may be suspended by the Board
of a Fund whenever the Board judges it to be in the best interest of the Fund to
do so. Quest Distributors, in its sole discretion, may accept or reject any
purchase order.

                                                                              17

*The entire sales charge may be re-allowed to dealers who achieve certain levels
of  sales or who  have rendered coordinated sales  support efforts. Such dealers
may be deemed to be "underwriters."

**PURCHASES OF CLASS A SHARES OF $1 MILLION OR MORE (all funds except Global
  Income Fund)
On purchases by a single purchaser aggregating $1 million or more, the investor
will not pay an initial sales charge, and Quest Distributors will pay authorized
dealers an amount equal to .9 of 1% of the first $2 million of such purchases,
plus .8 of 1% of the next $1 million, plus .50 of 1% of the next $2 million,
plus .35 of 1% on amounts over $6 million. A CDSC will be imposed on the
proceeds of the redemption of shares of the U.S. Government Income Fund and the
Investment Quality Income Fund purchased in amounts aggregating $1 million or
more or of shares of the Quest for Value Fund, Inc., the Small Capitalization
Fund, the Growth and Income Fund, the Opportunity Fund and the Global Equity
Fund purchased prior to July 1, 1994 in amounts aggregating $1 million or more
if they are redeemed within 24 months of the end of the calendar month of their
purchase, in an amount equal to 1% if the redemption occurs within the first 12
months and equal to .5 of 1% if the redemption occurs in the next 12 months, of
the lesser of (a) the net asset value of the shares at the time of purchase or
(b) the net asset value of the shares at the time of redemption. A CDSC will be
imposed on the proceeds of the redemption of shares of the Quest for Value Fund,
the Small Capitalization Fund, the Growth and Income Fund, the Opportunity Fund
and the Global Equity Fund purchased on or after July 1, 1994 in amounts
aggregating $1 million or more if they are redeemed within 12 months of the end
of the calendar month of their purchase in an amount equal to 1% of the lesser
of (a) the net asset value of the shares at the time of purchase or (b) the

18
<PAGE>
net asset value of the shares at the time of redemption. The CDSC will be
deducted from the redemption proceeds otherwise payable to the shareholder and
will be retained by Quest Distributors. For the period of 13 months from the
date of the sales of Class A shares of $1 million or more, the distribution fee
payable by a Fund to Quest Distributors pursuant to the Fund's Distribution Plan
in connection with such shares will be retained by Quest Distributors.

REDUCED SALES CHARGES: There are several ways you may qualify for reduced sales
charges when buying Class A Shares. You should notify the Transfer Agent or your
Dealer if you qualify.

COMBINED PURCHASE: Purchases by related accounts may be combined to determine
the appropriate sales charge. Related accounts are: all accounts in your name
and/or of your spouse or children under 21 years of age, all accounts of a
fiduciary purchasing for a single trust, and all accounts for which a single
person (e.g., investment advisor, trust department, etc.) exercises investment
discretion. Qualified employee benefit trusts of an employer and its
consolidated subsidiaries will be considered a single trust.

RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATION: In determining the applicable level of sales charge, the
value of shares you purchase will be added to the greater of cost or market
value of the Class A, B or C shares you hold of any Quest Fund, provided that
any such Class A shares were purchased with a sales charge, were acquired by
exchange for shares on which a sales charge was paid, or were subject to a CDSC.

LETTER OF INTENT: If you intend to purchase shares valued at $50,000 or more
during a 13-month period, you may make the purchase under a Letter of Intent so
that the initial shares you purchase qualify for the reduced sales charge
applicable to the aggregate amount of your projected purchase. Your initial
purchase must be at least 5% of the intended purchase. An appropriate number of
shares will be held by the Transfer Agent to cover any sales charge due if you
purchase less than the indicated amount during the 13-month period.

GROUP AND ASSOCIATION PURCHASES AND PURCHASES BY QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS: The
following table sets forth the applicable sales charge for purchases of Class A
shares made through a single broker or dealer by qualified retirement plans
including 401(k), 403(b) plans, SEP/IRA and IRA plans of a single employer, and
by members of associations formed for any purpose other than the purchase of
securities:

</TABLE>

  Purchases made under the Group Purchase provision will qualify for the lower
of the sales charge computed according to the table based on the number of
eligible employees in a plan or members of an association or the sales charge
level under the Rights of Accumulation described above. Purchases by retirement
plans covering 50 or more employees or by associations or groups with 50 or more
members shall be entitled to the sales charge waiver applicable to purchases of
$1 million or more described above. In addition, purchases by 401(k) plans can
qualify for this sales charge waiver if, in the opinion of Quest Distributors,
the initial purchase plus projected contributions to be invested in the plan for
the following 12 months will exceed $1,000,000. Individuals who qualify for
reduced sales charges as members of associations,

                                                                              19
<PAGE>
groups or eligible employees in plans as set forth in the above table may also
purchase shares for their individual or custodial accounts at the same sales
charge level.

NET ASSET VALUE PURCHASES: No sales charge will be applied to the following
transactions in Class A shares: purchases by persons who for the prior 90 days
have been directors, trustees, officers or full-time employees of any of the
Funds distributed by Quest Distributors, or of Quest Advisors, Quest
Distributors, or of their affiliates, their relatives or any trust, pension,
profit sharing or other benefit plan for any of them; purchases by any account
advised by Oppenheimer Capital, the parent of Quest Advisors, or by persons who
are directors or trustees of such accounts; purchases made with the proceeds of
maturing principal of any Quest Unit Investment Laddered Trust Series
("QUILTS"); purchases by an employee of a broker-dealer or bank having a dealer
or agency agreement pertaining to Fund shares; purchases by trust companies and
bank trust departments for funds over which they exercise exclusive
discretionary investment authority and charge an account management fee and
which are held in a fiduciary, agency, advisory, custodial or similar capacity;
purchases by registered investment advisors for their clients for whom they
charge an account management fee; accounts opened for shareholders by dealers
where the amounts invested represent the redemption proceeds from investment
companies distributed by an entity other than Quest Distributors if such
redemption has occurred no more than 60 days prior to the purchase of shares of
the Funds and the shareholder paid an initial sales charge or a contingent
deferred sales charge on the redeemed account. Shares sold at net asset value
will be included in the asset base upon which payments under a Fund's
Distribution Plan and Agreement are determined. The CDSC does not apply to
purchases of Class A shares at net asset value described herein.

BUYING CLASS B SHARES. Purchases of Class B shares will be processed at the net
asset value next determined after receipt of your purchase order for less than
$250,000. While not subject to a front-end sales charge, Class B shares may be
subject to a CDSC upon redemption. Dealers who sell Class B shares are paid a
commission by Quest Distributors equal to 4.00% of the purchase price of the
shares. CLASS B SHARES CURRENTLY ARE NOT BEING OFFERED TO NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED
COMPENSATION PLANS AND QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE
SECTIONS 401(A), 401(K), 403(B) AND 457 BUT ARE BEING OFFERED TO QUALIFIED
RETIREMENT PLANS UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 408(A).

  If Class B Shares of any Fund are redeemed within six years after the end of
the calendar month in which a purchase order for Class B shares was accepted, a
CDSC will be imposed by applying the appropriate percentage indicated below to
the lesser of: (1) the net asset value of such shares at the time of purchase or
(2) the net asset value of such shares at the time of redemption. The CDSC will
be deducted from the redemption proceeds otherwise payable to the shareholder
and will be retained by Quest Distributors. The CDSC to be imposed on such share
redemptions will be assessed according to the following schedule:

CONVERSION OF CLASS B SHARES. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class
A shares of the same Fund eight years after the end of the calendar month in
which the purchase order for Class B shares was accepted, on the basis of the
relative net asset values of the two classes and subject to the following terms:
Class B shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions
("reinvested Class B shares") will be converted to Class A shares on a pro-rata
basis only when Class B

20
<PAGE>
shares not acquired through reinvestment of dividends or distributions
("purchased Class B shares") are converted. The portion of reinvested Class B
shares to be converted will be determined by the ratio that the purchased Class
B shares eligible for conversion bear to the total amount of purchased Class B
shares in the shareholder's account. For the purposes of calculating the holding
period, Class B shares will be deemed to have been issued on the sooner of: (a)
the date on which the issuance of Class B shares occurred, or (b) for Class B
shares obtained by an exchange or series of exchanges, the date on which the
issuance of the original Class B shares occurred. This conversion to Class A
shares will relieve Class B shares that have been outstanding for at least eight
years (a period of time sufficient for Quest Distributors to have been
compensated for distribution expenses related to such Class B shares) from the
higher ongoing distribution fee paid by Class B shares. Only Class B shares have
this conversion feature. Conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares is
contingent on the continuing availability of a private letter revenue ruling
from the Internal Revenue Service affirming that such conversion does not
constitute a taxable event for the shareholder under the Internal Revenue Code.
If such revenue ruling or an opinion of counsel is no longer available,
conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares would have to be suspended, and
Class B shares would continue to be subject to the Class B distribution fee
until redeemed.

BUYING CLASS C SHARES. Purchases of Class C shares will be processed at the net
asset value next determined after receipt of your purchase order. Class C shares
are not subject to a front-end sales charge, but may be subject to a CDSC upon
redemption. Dealers who sell Class C shares are paid a commission by Quest
Distributors equal to .85% of the purchase price of the shares.

  If Class C shares are redeemed within one year after the end of the calendar
month in which a purchase order for Class C shares was accepted, a CDSC of 1.00%
would be imposed on the lesser of (1) the net asset value of such shares at the
time of purchase or (2) the net asset value of such shares at the time of
redemption. The CDSC will be deducted from the redemption proceeds otherwise
payable to the shareholder and will be retained by Quest Distributors.

EXEMPTIONS FROM CLASS A, B AND C CDSC. No CDSC will be imposed when a
shareholder redeems Class A, B or C shares in the following instances: (a)
shares or amounts representing increases in the value of an account above the
net cost of the investment due to increases in the net asset value per share;
(b) shares acquired through reinvestment of income dividends or capital gains
distributions; (c) shares acquired by exchange from any Quest Fund, other than a
money market fund, where the exchanged shares would not have been subject to a
CDSC upon redemption; and (d) Class A shares of the U.S. Government Income Fund
or the Investment Quality Income Fund purchased in the amount of $1 million or
more held for more than 24 months, Class A shares of the Quest for Value Fund,
Inc., the Small Capitalization Fund, the Growth and Income Fund, the Opportunity
Fund and Global Equity Fund purchased in the amount of $1 million or more prior
to July 1, 1994 held for more than 24 months and Class A shares purchased in the
amount of $1 million or more on or after July 1, 1994 if held for more than 12
months, Class B shares held for more than six years or Class C shares held for
more than one year from the end of the calendar month in which the purchase
order was accepted.

PURCHASES PRIOR TO MARCH 6, 1995. The CDSC does not apply to purchases of Class
A shares at net asset value described under "Net Asset Value Purchases" above
and will be waived in the case of redemptions of Class A, B or C shares
purchased prior to March 6, 1995 in connection with (i) distributions to
participants or beneficiaries of

                                                                              21
<PAGE>
plans qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") or
from custodial accounts under IRC Section 403(b)(7), individual retirement
accounts under IRC Section 408(a), deferred compensation plans under IRC section
457 and other employee benefit plans ("plans"), and returns of excess
contributions made to these plans, (ii) withdrawals under an automatic
withdrawal plan where the annual withdrawal does not exceed 10% of the opening
value of the account (only for Class B and C shares); and (iii) liquidation of a
shareholder's account if the aggregate net asset value of shares held in the
account is less than the required minimum.

PURCHASES ON OR AFTER MARCH 6, 1995. The CDSC will be waived in the case of
redemptions of Class A, B or C shares purchased on or after March 6, 1995 in
connection with 1) distributions to participants or beneficiaries from
individual retirement accounts under Section 408(a) of the IRC, and retirement
plans under Section 401(a), 401(k), 403(b) and 457 of the IRC, which
distributions are made either (a) to an individual participant as a result of
separation from service or (b) following the death or disability (as defined in
the IRC) of the participant or beneficiary; 2) returns of excess contributions
to such retirement plans; 3) redemptions other than from retirement plans
following the death or disability of the shareholder(s) (as evidenced by a
determination of total disability by the U.S. Social Security Administration);
4) withdrawals under an automatic withdrawal plan where the annual withdrawals
do not exceed 10% of the opening value of the account (only for Class B and C
shares); and 5) liquidation of a shareholder's account if the aggregate net
asset value of shares held in the account is less than the required minimum. A
shareholder will be credited with any CDSC paid in connection with the
redemption of any Class A, B or C shares if within 90 days after such
redemption, the proceeds are invested in the same Class of shares in the same
and/or another Quest Fund.

  In determining whether the Class A, B or C CDSC is payable, it will be assumed
that shares not subject to a CDSC are redeemed first and that other shares are
then redeemed in the order purchased. No CDSC will be imposed on exchanges to
purchase shares of another Quest Fund although a CDSC will be imposed on shares
of the acquired Quest Fund purchased by exchange of shares subject to a CDSC if
the acquired shares are then redeemed within 24 months if the exchanged shares
were Class A Shares (12 months with respect to Class A shares of the Quest for
Value Fund, Inc., the Small Capitalization Fund, the Growth and Income Fund, the
Opportunity Fund, or the Global Equity Fund purchased on or after July 1, 1994),
six years if the exchanged shares were Class B Shares or one year if the
exchanged shares were Class C shares of the end of the calendar month in which
the exchanged shares were purchased.

SPECIAL FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIPS. The CDSC will not apply with respect to
purchases of Class A shares for which the selling dealer is not permitted to
receive a sales load or redemption fee imposed on a shareholder with whom such
dealer has a fiduciary relationship in accordance with provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act and regulations thereunder. If such
dealer agrees to the reimbursement provision described below, no sales charge
will be imposed on sales of $1,000,000 or more and Quest Distributors will pay
to the selling dealer a commission described above in "Purchases of Class A
Shares of $1 Million or More."

  For the period of 13 months from the date of the sales referred to in the
above paragraph, the distribution fee payable by a Fund to Quest Distributors
pursuant to the Fund's Distribution Plan in

22
<PAGE>
connection with such shares will be retained by Quest Distributors. In the event
of a redemption of any such shares within 24 months of purchase, the selling
dealer will reimburse Quest Distributors for the amount of commission paid less
the amount of the distribution fee with respect to such shares.

PURCHASES BY STRATEGIC ALLIANCES. The CDSC will not apply with respect to
purchases of Class A shares by participants in qualified retirement plans that
are part of strategic alliances. No sales charge will be imposed on such
purchases and Quest Distributors will pay to the selling dealer a commission
described above in "Purchases of Class A Shares of $1 Million or More." For the
period of 13 months from the date of such sales, the distribution fee payable by
a Fund to Quest Distributors pursuant to the Fund's Distribution Plan in
connection with such shares will be retained by Quest Distributors.

OTHER DEALER COMPENSATION. Quest Distributors will provide additional
compensation to dealers in connection with sales of shares of the Funds and
other mutual funds distributed by Quest Distributors ("Quest Funds") including
promotional gifts (which may include gift certificates, dinners and other
items), financial assistance to dealers in connection with conferences, sales or
training programs for their employees, seminars for the public and advertising
campaigns. In some instances, these incentives may be made available only to
dealers whose representatives have sold or are expected to sell significant
amounts of shares. If a registered representative of a securities dealer sells
more than $500,000 or $1 million (net of redemptions) of any open-end investment
company distributed by Quest Distributors and managed by Quest Advisors other
than Quest Cash Reserves, Inc. in the 1995 calendar year, the dealer firm is
eligible to send the representative and a guest to a sales conference at a
luxury resort; individual sales of Class A shares in the amount of $1 million or
more that are purchased at net asset value and sales of Class C shares will
count as one-half their amount for determining eligibility.

- ---------------------------------------------

 DETERMINING NET ASSET VALUE

The value of shares is determined by adding up the value of all security
     holdings and other assets of the Fund, deducting the value of the
     liabilities, and dividing the result by the number of shares outstanding.
The value of a Fund's portfolio securities and other assets is based on market
values determined by procedures established by the Board of the Fund. Securities
listed on a national securities exchange or designated as national market system
securities are valued at the last sale price or, if there has been no sale that
day, at the last bid price. Debt and equity securities actively traded in the
over-the-counter market but not designated as national market system securities
are valued at the most recent bid price. Valuations may be provided by a pricing
service or from independent securities dealers. Short-term investments with
remaining maturities of less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost so long
as the Board determines in good faith that such method reflects fair value.
Other securities are valued by methods that the Board of a Fund believes
accurately reflect fair value. The calculation is made at the close of the
regular trading session ("Close") of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE")
(currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) each day the NYSE is open. The value that is
calculated is known as the net asset value per share, which will fluctuate
daily. Although the legal rights of Class A, B and C shares are identical, the
different expenses borne by each class may result in differing net asset values
and dividends for each Class.

  Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day
at various times prior to the Close of the NYSE. The values of such securities

                                                                              23
<PAGE>
used in computing the net asset value of a Fund's shares are determined as of
such times. Foreign currency exchange rates are also generally determined prior
to the Close of the NYSE. If events materially affecting the value of such
securities and exchange rates occur between the time of such determination
and/or the Close of the NYSE, then these securities will be valued at their fair
value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the
supervision of the Fund's Board. See "Determination of Net Asset Value" in the
SAIs.
- ---------------------------------------------

 HOW TO REDEEM SHARES

You may redeem shares on any day the Funds are open for business--normally when
     the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open-- using the Procedures
     described below. See "Determination of Net Asset Value" in the SAI for the
days on which the NYSE will be closed.

DEALER REDEMPTION: Your redemption requests may be handled by your securities
dealer who is responsible for providing the necessary documentation to the
Transfer Agent and who may impose a charge for its services. Requests received
by your dealer prior to the Close of the NYSE and transmitted to the Transfer
Agent by its close of business that day will receive that day's net asset value
per share.

REGULAR REDEMPTION: You may send a redemption request by mail to the Transfer
Agent and will receive the net asset value of the shares being redeemed which is
next determined after your request is received in "good form". "Good form" means
the request is signed in the name in which the account is registered and the
signature is guaranteed by an eligible guarantor. Eligible guarantors include
member firms of a national securities exchange, banks, savings associations and
credit unions, as defined by the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Special
requirements may exist for corporations, trusts and similar accounts. If you
hold stock certificates, you should call the Transfer Agent for instructions on
the appropriate redemption procedure.

EXPEDITED REDEMPTIONS: You and your account representative will automatically
receive the ability to redeem or exchange shares by telephone unless you
indicate otherwise on the application. You may also authorize certain other
expedited redemption procedures. BY TELEPHONE (minimum $1,000). The proceeds of
redemption will either be mailed to you or wired to the account of any bank that
is a member of the Federal Reserve wire system. This account must be designated
on your application. If you change the bank account, you must let us know in
writing with a signature guarantee. BY AUTOMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN (minimum $50).
If your account has a value of at least $5,000 you may arrange an automatic
withdrawal plan so that the amount you specify (minimum $50) will be sent to you
on a monthly or quarterly basis. Dividends and distributions on your shares must
be reinvested. BY CHECK DRAFT (U.S. Government Income Fund only--$250 minimum).
A service fee of $10 is imposed for drafts under $250. Your checks are drafts
drawn on State Street. When your draft is presented, State Street as your agent
redeems a sufficient number of whole and fractional shares to cover the amount
of the draft. You cannot close out your account by check redemption, because
your shares continue to earn dividends and fluctuate in value until the draft is
presented.

  Your redemption proceeds, from which any applicable CDSC will have been
deducted, will normally be mailed or wired the day after your redemption is
processed. Payments for redemption of shares that you purchased by check may be
delayed until the

24
<PAGE>
check has cleared, which may take up to 15 days. To avoid this collection
period, you can wire federal funds to pay for purchases.

REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGE: If you reinvest in a Quest Fund within 60 days of
redemption, you will be reinstated as a shareholder with the same privileges
regarding the non-payment of sales charges that apply to exchanges. You may
exercise this privilege only once each calendar year. The redemption may produce
a gain or loss for tax purposes.

  The Funds may suspend redemption procedures and postpone redemption payments
during any period when the NYSE is closed other than for customary weekend or
holiday closing or the SEC has determined an emergency exists or has otherwise
permitted such suspension or postponement. The Funds reserve the right to redeem
your account if its value is less than $500 due to redemptions. Your Fund will
give you 30 days' notice to increase your account value to at least $500.
Redemption proceeds will be mailed.
- ---------------------------------------------

 EXCHANGING SHARES

An exchange represents the sale of shares of one fund and the purchase of shares
      of another, which may produce a gain or loss for tax purposes.

  Your exchange will be processed at the net asset value next determined after
the Transfer Agent receives your exchange request. A service fee (currently $5)
will be charged for administrative services in connection with an exchange. You
will receive a prospectus along with your confirmation if you exchange into a
Fund not offered in this Prospectus. The exchange feature may be modified or
discontinued at any time, upon notice to shareholders in accordance with
applicable rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Your
exchange may be processed only if the shares of the fund to be acquired are
eligible for sale in your state and if the amount of your transaction meets the
minimum requirements for that fund. The exchange privilege is only available in
states in which it may be legally offered.

EXCHANGES OF CLASS A SHARES: You may exchange your Class A shares for Class A
shares of any mutual fund (except as described below with respect to exchanges
from the Global Income Fund) distributed by Quest Distributors ("Quest Fund")
and for shares of Quest Cash Reserves, Inc. ("QCR"), a single-class money market
fund with five different portfolios. You need not pay any sales charge
differential between Quest Funds on the exchange of Class A shares purchased
with a front-end sales charge if:
1.  You have held the shares being exchanged for
    at least 31 days;
2.  The shares being exchanged were acquired
    through the reinvestment of dividends or distributions; or
3.  The shares being exchanged were themselves
    the proceeds of an exchange from a fund with the same or higher sales
    charge.

  If you exchange Class A shares of the Global Income Fund into another Quest
Fund within six months of your purchase of Class A shares of the Global Income
Fund, you will have to pay the difference between the sales charge paid on your
purchase of Class A shares of the Global Income Fund and the sales charge that
would have been charged if you had originally purchased Class A shares of the
Fund into which you are exchanging.

EXCHANGES OF CLASS B SHARES: Class B shares of all Quest Funds are exchangeable
for Class B shares of any other Quest Fund. Class B shares of any Quest Fund
cannot be exchanged for Class A or C shares of any Quest Fund.

                                                                              25
<PAGE>
EXCHANGES OF CLASS C SHARES: Class C shares of all Quest Funds are exchangeable
for Class C shares of any other Quest Fund. Class C shares of any Quest Fund
cannot be exchanged for Class A or B shares of any Quest Fund.

  Because excessive trading (including short-term "market timing" trading) can
hurt a Fund's performance, each Fund may refuse any exchange orders (1) if they
appear to be market-timing transactions involving significant portions of a
Fund's assets or (2) from any shareholder account if the shareholder or his or
her broker-dealer has been advised that previous use of the exchange privilege
is considered excessive. Accounts under common ownership or control, including
those with the same taxpayer ID number and those administered so as to redeem or
purchase shares based upon certain predetermined market indicators, will be
considered one account for this purpose.

                             ---------------------

  Quest Distributors and the Fund's transfer agent will employ reasonable
procedures for telephone redemptions and exchanges to confirm that the
instructions received from shareholders or their account representatives are
genuine, and if they do not, Quest Distributors or the transfer agent may be
liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions.
Shareholders will be required to provide their name, address, social security
number and other identifying information. Account representatives must identify
themselves and their firm and Quest Distributors will confirm that such firm has
a valid selling agreement with Quest Distributors and that the representative is
authorized to act on behalf of the firm.

  IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON EXCHANGE OR REDEMPTION PROCEDURES, CALL YOUR
DEALER OR OUR TRANSFER AGENT.

 INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS AND TECHNIQUES

The Funds are subject to certain investment restrictions which are fundamental
     policies changeable only by shareholder vote. The restrictions in a, b and
     c below do not apply to U.S. government securities. The restrictions apply
to each Fund unless otherwise noted. A Fund may not (except that in the future
the Quest for Value, U.S. Government Income, the Growth and Income, the Global
Income and the Global Equity Funds may invest all or part of their respective
assets in an open-end management investment company with substantially the same
respective investment objective and restrictions): (a) Purchase more than 10% of
the voting securities of any one issuer (for Global Equity, Global Income and
Growth and Income only with respect to 75% of their respective total assets;
except that to comply with a state's securities laws, Global Income has adopted
this restriction with respect to 100% of its total assets, although this
restriction is not a fundamental policy of the Global Income Fund); (b) Purchase
more than 10% of any class of security of any issuer, with all outstanding debt
securities and all preferred stock of an issuer each being considered as one
class (all Funds except Global Equity, Global Income and Growth and Income); (c)
Concentrate its investments in any particular industry, but if deemed
appropriate for attaining its investment objective, a Fund may invest up to 25%
of its total assets (valued at the time of investment) in any one industry
classification used by the Fund for investment purposes (for this purpose, a
foreign government is considered an industry). Concentration of investment in
securities of one issuer may tend to increase a Fund's financial risk (See "Risk
Factors," p. 12);(d) Borrow money in excess of: 10% of the value of the Fund's
total assets in the case of the Small Capitalization, U.S. Government Income,
Investment Quality Income and Opportunity Funds;

26
<PAGE>
33 1/3% of the value of the Fund's total assets in the case of the Quest for
Value, Global Equity, Global Income and Growth and Income Funds; each Fund
(except for Quest for Value Fund) may borrow only from banks and only as a
temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes and will make no
additional investments while such borrowings exceed 5% of the total assets;
Quest for Value Fund may, but has no present intention to, borrow for leveraging
purposes; (e) Invest more than 10% of the Fund's total assets in illiquid
securities (15% for Quest for Value Fund, the Growth and Income Fund, the Global
Income Fund and the Global Equity Fund), including securities for which there is
no readily available market, repurchase agreements which have a maturity of
longer than seven days, securities subject to legal or contractual restrictions
and certain over-the-counter options (it is the opinion of the Wisconsin
Securities Commission that investments in restricted securities in excess of 5%
of a Fund's total assets may be considered a speculative activity and therefore
involve greater risk and increase the Fund's expenses; to comply with
Wisconsin's securities laws, all Funds except Global Income have agreed to limit
investments in restricted securities to 5% of their respective total assets,
although the restriction is not a fundamental policy of such Funds); and (f)
Invest more than 5% (15% for Quest for Value Fund) of the Fund's total assets in
securities of issuers having a record, together with predecessors, of less than
three years of continuous operation. (This restriction is not a fundamental
policy of each of the Global Equity, Global Income or Growth and Income Funds,
but was adopted to comply with a state's securities laws). Notwithstanding
investment restriction (e) above, the Funds each may purchase securities which
are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 ("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 illiquid so long as it is
determined by the Board of Directors or Quest Advisors, acting under guidelines
approved and monitored by the Board, which has the ultimate responsibility for
any determination regarding liquidity, that an adequate trading market exists
for that security. This investment practice could have the effect of increasing
the level of illiquidity in each of the Funds 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 relatively recent development and it is not possible to predict how
this market will develop. The Board will carefully monitor any investments by
each of the Funds in these securities. Other investment restrictions are
described in the SAIs.

  The investment techniques or instruments described below are used for
investment programs of the Funds.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: All Funds may acquire
securities subject to repurchase agreements. Under a typical repurchase
agreement, a Fund acquires a debt security for a relatively short period
(usually for one day and very seldom for more than one week) subject to an
obligation of the seller to repurchase (and the Fund's obligation to resell) the
security at an agreed-upon higher price, thereby establishing a fixed investment
return during the holding period. Pending such repurchase, the seller of the
instrument maintains securities as collateral equal in market value to the
repurchase price.

  In the event a seller defaulted on its repurchase obligation, a Fund might
suffer a loss to the extent that the proceeds from the sale of the collateral
were less than the repurchase price. In the event of a seller's bankruptcy, a
Fund might be delayed in, or prevented from, selling the collateral for the
Fund's benefit. Each Fund's Board of Directors/ Trustees has established
procedures, which are

                                                                              27
<PAGE>
periodically reviewed by the Board, pursuant to which Quest Advisors will
monitor the creditworthiness of the dealers and banks with which the Funds enter
into repurchase agreement transactions.

  The Global Income Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. Under a
reverse repurchase agreement, a Fund sells securities and agrees to repurchase
them at a mutually agreed date and price. At the time the Global Income Fund
enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it will establish and maintain a
segregated account with an approved custodian containing liquid high grade
securities having a value not less than the repurchase price (including accrued
interest). Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value
of the securities retained in lieu of sale by the Fund may decline more than or
appreciate less than the securities the Fund has sold but is obligated to
repurchase. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase
agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, such buyer or its trustee
or receiver may receive an extension of time to determine whether to enforce the
Fund's obligation to repurchase the securities and the Fund's use of the
proceeds of the reverse repurchase agreements may effectively be restricted
pending such decisions. Reverse repurchase agreements create leverage, a
speculative factor, and will be considered borrowings for purposes of the Global
Income Fund's limitation on borrowing.

LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES: All Funds may lend portfolio securities if
collateral (cash, U.S. Government or agency obligations or letters of credit)
securing such loans is maintained daily in an amount at least equal to the
market value of the securities loaned and if the Funds do not incur any fees
(except transaction fees of the custodian bank) in connection with such loans. A
Fund may call the loan at any time on five days' notice and reacquire the loaned
securities. The Fund would receive the cash equivalent of the interest or
dividends paid by the issuer on the securities loan and would have the right to
receive the interest on investment of the cash collateral in short-term debt
instruments. A portion of either or both kinds of such interest may be paid to
the borrower of such securities. The Fund would continue to retain any voting
rights with respect to the securities. The value of the securities loaned, if
any, is not expected to exceed 10% of the value of the total assets of Quest for
Value, Small Capitalization, Opportunity or Investment Quality Income Funds and
33 1/3% of the value of the total assets of U.S. Government Income, Global
Equity, Global Income or Growth and Income Funds. There is a risk that the
borrower of the securities may default and the Funds may have difficulty in
reacquiring the loaned securities.

BRADY BONDS. The Global Income Fund and the Global Equity Fund may purchase
Brady Bonds and other sovereign debt of countries that have restructured or are
in the process of restructuring their sovereign debt. Brady Bonds are debt
securities issued under the Brady Plan, a mechanism whereby debtor nations can
restructure their indebtedness by negotiating with lenders and exchanging
existing commercial bank debt for Brady Bonds. Brady Bonds may also be issued in
respect of new money being advanced by existing lenders in connection with the
debt restructuring. The Brady Plan only sets forth general guidelines for
economic reform and debt reduction, emphasizing that solutions must be
negotiated on a case-by-case basis between debtor nations and their creditors.
Brady Bonds have been issued only recently and consequently do not have a long
payment history. The principal of certain Brady Bonds has been collateralized by
Treasury zero coupon bonds with maturities equal to the final maturity of such
Brady Bonds. In addition, the first two or three interest payments on certain
Brady Bonds may be collateralized by cash

28
<PAGE>
or securities agreed upon by creditors. See "Risk Factors and Special
Considerations" in the SAI for a more complete description of Brady Bonds.

MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES: The U.S. Government Income, Investment Quality
Income, Opportunity, Growth and Income and Global Income Funds may invest in a
type of mortgage-backed security known as modified pass-through certificates.
Each certificate evidences an interest in a specific pool of mortgages that have
been grouped together for sale and provides investors with payments of interest
and principal. The issuer of modified pass-through certificates guarantees the
payment of the principal and interest whether or not the issuer has collected
such amounts on the underlying mortgage.

  The average life of these securities varies with the maturities of the
underlying mortgage instruments (generally up to 30 years) and with the extent
of prepayments or the mortgages themselves. Any such prepayments are passed
through to the certificate holder, reducing the stream of future payments.
Prepayments tend to rise in periods of falling interest rates, decreasing the
average life of the certificate and generating cash which must be invested in a
lower interest rate environment. This could also limit the appreciation
potential of the certificates when compared to similar debt obligations which
may not be paid down at will, and could cause losses on certificates purchased
at a premium or gains on certificates purchased at a discount. Government
National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae") certificates represent pools of
mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or the Farmers Home
Administration or guaranteed by the Veteran's Administration. The guarantee of
payments under these certificates is backed by the full faith and credit of the
United States. Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") is a
government-sponsored corporation owned entirely by private stockholders. The
guarantee of payments under these instruments is that of Fannie Mae only. They
are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States but the U.S.
Treasury may extend credit to Fannie Mae through discretionary purchases of its
securities. The U.S. Government has no obligation to assume the liabilities of
Fannie Mae. Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. ("Freddie Mac") is a corporate
instrumentality of the United States government whose stock is owned by the
Federal Home Loan Banks. Certificates issued by Freddie Mac represent interest
in mortgages from its portfolio. Freddie Mac guarantees payments under its
certificates but this guarantee is not backed by the full faith and credit of
the United States and Freddie Mac does not have authority to borrow from the
U.S. Treasury.

  The coupon rate of these instruments is lower than the interest rate on the
underlying mortgages by the amount of fees paid to the issuing agencies, usually
approximately 1/2 of 1%. It is not anticipated that the Funds' investments will
have any particular maturity. Mortgage-backed securities, due to the scheduled
periodic repayment of principal, and the possibility of accelerated repayment of
underlying mortgage obligations, fluctuate in value in a different manner than
other, non-redeemable debt securities. The U.S. Government Income, Investment
Quality Income, Opportunity, Growth and Income and Global Income Funds also may
invest in "collateralized mortgage obligations" ("CMO's") which are debt
obligations secured by mortgage-backed securities where the investor looks only
to the issuer of the security for payment of principal and interest.

OPTIONS AND FUTURES: The U.S. Government Income Fund may buy and sell futures
contracts and options, write covered put and call options on U.S. government
securities to generate additional income, purchase put and call options to
close-out or off-set options it has written and to hedge its investments against
changes in value or as a temporary substitute for purchases or sales of actual

                                                                              29
<PAGE>
securities. The U.S. Government Income Fund also may purchase put and call
options on financial futures and write put and call options on such contracts.
The Global Income Fund may write covered call options and the Global Equity and
Global Income Funds may purchase and sell financial futures contracts (including
bond futures contracts and index futures contracts), foreign currency forward
contracts, foreign currency futures contracts, options on futures contracts and
options on currencies. In addition, the Global Income Fund is authorized to
write covered put options but does not presently intend to do so. The Quest for
Value, Small Capitalization and Growth and Income Funds may buy and sell options
on stock indexes, futures contracts and options on futures to hedge their
investments against changes in value or as a temporary substitute for purchases
or sales of actual securities. The Small Capitalization Fund may write covered
call options on individual securities. The Investment Quality Income Fund may
purchase or sell financial futures contracts and options on such contracts for
similar purposes. When each such Fund anticipates a significant market or market
sector advance, the purchase of a futures contract affords a hedge against not
participating in the advance at a time when the Fund is not fully invested
("anticipatory hedge"). Such a purchase of a futures contract would serve as a
temporary substitute for the purchase of individual securities, which may be
purchased in an orderly fashion once the market has stabilized. As individual
securities are purchased, an equivalent amount of futures contracts could be
terminated by offsetting sales. A Fund may sell futures contracts in
anticipation of or in a general market or market sector decline or increase in
interest rates that may adversely affect the market value of the Fund's
securities ("defensive hedge"). To the extent that a Fund's portfolio of
securities changes in value in correlation with the underlying security or
index, the sale of futures contracts would substantially reduce the risk to the
Fund of a market decline and by so doing, provide an alternative to the
liquidation of securities positions in the Fund with attendant transaction
costs. All options purchased or sold by a Fund will be traded on a U.S. or
foreign commodities exchange or will result from separate, privately negotiated
transactions with a primary government securities dealer recognized by the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or with other broker-dealers approved
by the Fund's Board. Options on securities, futures contracts and options on
futures contracts that are traded on foreign exchanges are subject to the risk
of governmental action affecting trading in or the prices of foreign currencies
or securities. The value of such positions also could be adversely affected by
(i) other complex foreign political and economic factors, (ii) lesser
availability than in the United States of data on which to make trading
decisions (iii) delays in a Fund's ability to act upon economic events occurring
in foreign markets during nonbusiness hours in the United States, (iv) the
imposition of different exercise and settlement terms and procedures and margin
requirements than in the United States, (v) lesser trading volume and (vi) in
certain circumstances, currency fluctuations. In addition, the Small
Capitalization Fund may write covered call options on individual securities.

  So long as Commodities Futures Trading Commission rules so require, a Fund
will not enter into any financial futures or options contract unless such
transactions are for bona-fide hedging purposes or for other purposes only if
the aggregate initial margins and premiums required to establish such
non-hedging positions would not exceed 5% of the liquidation value of the Fund's
total assets. A call option written by a Fund is "covered" if the Fund owns the
underlying security covered by the call or has an absolute and immediate right
to acquire that security without additional cash consideration (or

30
<PAGE>
for additional cash consideration held in a segregated account by its custodian)
upon conversion or exchange of other securities held in its portfolio. A call
option is also covered if the Fund holds a call on the same security and in the
same principal amount as the call written where the exercise price of the call
held (a) is equal to or less than the exercise price of the call written or (b)
is greater than the exercise price of the call written if the difference is
maintained by the Fund in cash, U.S. Government Securities or other liquid
high-grade debt securities in a segregated account with its custodian. A put
option written by a Fund is "covered" if the Fund maintains cash, U.S.
Government securities or other liquid high-grade debt securities with a value
equal to the exercise price in a segregated account with its custodian, or else
holds a put on the same security and in the same principal amount as the put
written where the exercise price of the put held is equal to or greater than the
exercise price of the put written. As a result, the Fund forgoes the opportunity
of trading the segregated assets or writing calls against those assets. There
may not be a complete correlation between the price of options or futures and
the market prices of the underlying securities. The Fund may lose the ability to
profit from an increase in the market value of the underlying securities or may
lose its premium payment. If due to a lack of a market the Fund could not effect
a closing purchase transaction with respect to an OTC option, it would have to
hold the callable securities until the call lapsed or was exercised.

WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES AND FIRM COMMITMENTS: All Funds may
purchase securities on a "when-issued" or "delayed delivery" basis or may either
purchase or sell securities on a "firm commitment basis", whereby the price is
fixed at the time of commitment but delivery and payment may be as much as a
month or more later. The underlying securities are subject to market
fluctuations and no interest accrues prior to delivery of the securities.

RIGHTS AND WARRANTS (GLOBAL EQUITY, GLOBAL INCOME AND GROWTH AND INCOME
FUNDS): Each of these Funds may invest up to 5% of its total assets in rights or
warrants which entitle the holder to buy equity securities at a specific price
for a specific period of time. The 5% limitation is not a fundamental policy for
the Global Equity and Global Income Funds.

- ---------------------------------------------

 DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

The U.S. Government Income, Investment Quality Income and Global Income Funds
     declare dividends of their net investment income, consisting of interest
     earned less estimated expenses, on a daily basis. These dividends are paid
monthly. You are entitled to receive the dividend declared on the day after the
Transfer Agent receives payment for your shares of these funds. Dividends from
net investment income are declared and paid quarterly for the Growth and Income
Fund. The Quest for Value, Small Capitalization, Opportunity and Global Equity
Funds declare and pay dividends from net investment income on an annual basis
following the end of their fiscal years (October 31, except for the Global
Equity and Global Income Funds, which is November 30). The Funds may at times
make payments from sources other than income or net capital gains. Payments from
such sources would, in effect, represent a return of each shareholder's
investment. All or a portion of such payments would not be taxable to
shareholders.

  Distributions from net long-term capital gains, if any, for all Funds normally
are declared and paid annually, subsequent to the end of their respective

                                                                              31
<PAGE>
fiscal years. Distributions from net short-term capital gains, if any, for the
U.S. Government Income Fund will be made quarterly and for all other Funds will
be made annually. Short-term capital gains include the gains from the
disposition of securities held less than one year, a portion of the premiums
from expired put and call options written by a Fund and net gains from closing
transactions with respect to such options. If required by tax laws to avoid
excise or other taxes, dividends and/or capital gains distributions may be made
more frequently.

  Dividends paid by any Fund with respect to Class A, B and C shares, to the
extent any dividends are paid, will be calculated in the same manner at the same
time on the same day, with each class bearing its own distribution and other
class-related expenses. Accordingly, the higher distribution fees paid by Class
B and C shares and the higher resulting expense ratio will cause such shares to
be paid lower per share dividends than those paid on Class A shares. However, a
Class B or C shareholder will receive more shares at the time of purchase than a
Class A shareholder investing the same dollar amount since no sales charge is
deducted from the amount invested in Class B or C shares.

REINVESTMENT OPTIONS: You can receive your dividends and capital gains
distributions either in cash or in additional Fund shares without a sales
charge. You will be subject to tax on such distributions. See the SAI for a
description of how to change your election.
- ---------------------------------------------

 TAX STATUS

The Funds intend to qualify for taxation as regulated investment companies under
     the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As such, the
     Funds will not be taxed on their net investment income or net realized
capital gains, if any, to the extent they have been distributed to their
shareholders. Distributions from the Funds' income and short-term capital gains
are taxed as ordinary income while long-term capital gains distributions by the
Fund are taxed to you as long-term capital gains, regardless of how long you
have held your shares. While tax treatment varies from state to state, some
portion of the dividends of the U.S. Government Income Fund should be exempt
from income taxes in most states depending, in part, on the percentage of income
that is derived from direct U.S. Government obligations. The U.S. Government
Income Fund will send you its best information on the tax status of dividends
under the laws of each state and will provide information regarding the source
(including the percentage of income derived from direct U.S. Government
obligations) of all its dividends and distributions. For purposes of Federal
income tax, futures contracts and certain options, if any, held by the Funds at
the end of their respective fiscal years generally will be treated as having
been sold at market value. As a general rule any gain or loss on such contracts
will be treated as 60% long-term and 40% short-term. See the SAI for more detail
on the tax aspects of Hedging Instruments. Dividends will qualify for the
dividends received deduction for corporations only to the extent of a Fund's
qualifying dividend income. Since the income received by the U.S. Government
Income, Investment Quality Income and Global Income Funds will be derived from
interest income rather than dividend income, their dividends normally will not
qualify for this deduction. Shortly after the end of each calendar year, the
Funds will send you a statement of the amount and nature of net income and
capital gains. Dividends, interest and gains on foreign securities may give rise
to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries, reducing the amount
distributable to you. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United
States may reduce or eliminate such taxes. The Global Equity and Global Income
Funds may each qualify to make an election

32
<PAGE>
to allow you either to claim United States foreign tax credits with respect to
such foreign taxes withheld or paid, or to deduct such amounts as an itemized
deduction on your tax return. This would increase your taxable income (in
addition to income you actually received) by the amount of such taxes and these
Funds would not be able to deduct such taxes in computing their taxable income.

  The above information is a summary of the tax treatment that will be applied
to a Fund and its distributions. You should contact your tax adviser,
particularly in connection with state and local taxes.
- ---------------------------------------------

 INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

The day-to-day management of the Funds is the responsibility of Quest Advisors,
     operating under the supervision of the Board of Directors or Trustees of
     each Fund. Quest Advisors is a majority-owned subsidiary of Oppenheimer
Capital, a registered investment advisor, whose employees perform all investment
advisory services provided to the Funds by Quest Advisors. For its services each
Fund is authorized to pay Quest Advisors a monthly fee at the following annual
rates, based on each Fund's daily net assets: Quest for Value, Small
Capitalization and Opportunity--1.00%; Growth and Income--.85%; Global
Equity--.75%; U.S. Government Income and Investment Quality Income--.60%; and
Global Income-- .50%. The fees paid by the Quest for Value, Small
Capitalization, Opportunity and Growth and Income Funds are higher than that
paid by most other investment companies. The fee of the Global Equity Fund
combined with the administration fee described below, is also higher than that
paid by most other investment companies. Each of the Funds except Quest for
Value, Global Income and Global Equity also reimburses Quest Advisors on a cost
basis for bookkeeping and accounting services performed on behalf of each Fund.
The U.S. Government Income Fund, the Small Capitalization Fund, the Opportunity
Fund, the Investment Quality Income Fund and the Growth and Income Fund have
retained State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"), the custodian of
each of the Funds, to calculate the net asset value of each class of the Fund's
shares and prepare the Fund's books and records. State Street also performs such
services for the Quest for Value Fund, the Global Income Fund and the Global
Equity Fund but the fees for such services are paid by Quest Advisors.

  Pursuant to Administration Agreements with the Global Equity and Global Income
Funds, Quest Advisors provides administrative services and manages the business
affairs of each Fund. Such services include maintenance of the Fund's books and
records, monitoring the activities of entities providing services to the Fund,
furnishing office space, facilities, equipment, clerical help and bookkeeping
and legal services required in the conduct of the Fund's business, including the
preparation of proxy statements and reports filed with federal and state
securities commissions (except to the extent that the participation of
independent accountants and attorneys is, in the opinion of Quest Advisors,
necessary or desirable). Quest Advisors bears the cost of telephone service,
heat, light, power and other utilities provided to the Fund. For these services,
the Fund pays Quest Advisors a fee at the annual rate of .25% of average daily
net assets of the respective Fund.

  Each Fund is responsible for bearing certain expenses attributable to the Fund
but not to a particular class ("Fund Expenses"), including deferred organization
expenses; taxes; registration fees; typesetting of prospectuses and financial
reports required for distribution to shareholders; brokerage commissions; fees
and related expenses of trustees or directors who are not interested persons;
legal, accounting and audit expenses;

                                                                              33
<PAGE>
custodian fees; insurance premiums; and trade association dues. Fund Expenses
will be allocated based on the total net assets of each class.

  Each class of shares of each Fund will also be responsible for certain
expenses attributable only to that class ("Class Expenses"). These Class
Expenses may include distribution and service fees, transfer and shareholder
servicing agent fees, professional fees, printing and postage expenses for
materials distributed to current shareholders, state registration fees and
shareholder meeting expenses. Such items are considered Class Expenses provided
such fees and expenses relate solely to such Class.

  A portion of printing expenses, such as typesetting costs, will be divided
equally among the Funds, while other printing expenses, such as the number of
copies printed, will be considered Class Expenses.

  Quest Advisors will assume expenses of each class of the Funds in the event
that aggregate ordinary operating expenses incurred in any fiscal year exceed
the most restrictive expense limitations imposed upon the Funds in states in
which shares are then eligible for sale. Currently the most restrictive expense
limitation, which excludes certain distribution fees from operating expenses, is
2 1/2% of the first $30 million of average net assets, 2% of the next $70
million of average net assets and 1 1/2% of the remaining average net assets.
Quest Advisors has agreed to limit Fund Expenses (as defined above) of the
Growth and Income and Global Income Funds so that annualized operating Fund
Expenses, exclusive of Class Expenses (as defined above), do not exceed 1.50%
and 1.45%, respectively, of each Fund's average daily net assets; this expense
limitations are voluntary and may be discontinued at any time. Quest Advisors
may make additional waivers of its management fee and/or assume Fund expenses on
a voluntary basis.

  Quest Advisors has retained New Castle Advisers Inc. ("New Castle") as the
Subadvisor for the U.S. Government Income Fund pursuant to an agreement with
Quest Advisors whereby New Castle provides advice and assistance in connection
with the options and financial futures investments of the U.S. Government Income
Fund. New Castle, a registered investment advisor, maintains an office at 1
Barker Avenue, White Plains, New York, and has been in business since 1991.
Howard Potter is the President and Chief Executive Officer of New Castle and is
the sole stockholder. Prior to establishing New Castle, Mr. Potter was the
individual responsible for developing investment strategies for options and
financial futures for Oppenheimer & Co., Inc, subadvisor to the U.S. Government
Income Fund from April 29, 1988 to November 1, 1991. Quest Advisors will pay New
Castle 20% of the advisory fee paid by the U.S. Government Income Fund to the
Advisor, subject to certain reimbursements. There is no additional cost to the
U.S. Government Income Fund from this agreement.

  Prior to January 1, 1994, Quest Advisors had retained Clay Finlay Inc.
(formerly Globe Finlay Inc.) as the Subadvisor for the Global Equity Fund
pursuant to an agreement with Quest Advisors whereby Clay Finlay had the primary
responsibility for selecting non-U.S. securities, subject to the overall review
of Quest Advisors. This agreement was terminated effective December 31, 1993 and
management of the non-U.S. portion of the Fund's portfolio was assumed by Quest
Advisors.

  Oppenheimer Financial Corp., a holding company holds a 33% interest in
Oppenheimer Capital, a registered investment advisor, and Oppenheimer Capital,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership whose units are traded on the New York
Stock Exchange and of which Oppenheimer Financial Corp. is the sole general
partner, owns the remaining 67% interest. Oppenheimer Capital has operated as an
investment advisor since 1968.

 DISTRIBUTION PLAN

Each Class of shares of each Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan and Agreement
     (the "Plan(s)") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 adopted under the Investment Company
     Act of 1940. Under the Plans, Class A, B and C shares of each of the Funds
are authorized to pay Quest Distributors a distribution fee for expenses
incurred in connection with the distribution of shares of the Fund and for
shareholder servicing.

CLASS A SHARES. Class A shares of each Fund pay Quest Distributors a
distribution fee at the following annual rates of each Fund's average daily net
assets: U.S. Government Income Fund--.05%, Investment Quality Income and Growth
and Income Fund--.15%, all other Funds except Global Income Fund --.25%. Each
Fund's Class A Shares also pay a service fee at the annual rate of .25% of
average daily net assets. Although the Global Income Fund is authorized under
its Plan to pay a distribution fee of .05% and a service fee of .25%, the Board
of Directors of the Global Income Fund has set a maximum fee under the Plan of
 .25%.

CLASS B AND C SHARES. Class B and C shares of each Fund pay Quest Distributors a
distribution fee at the annual rate of .75% of each Fund's average daily net
assets. Class B and C shares of each Fund will also pay a service fee at the
annual rate of .25% of each Fund's average daily net assets. The Class B Plans
were amended and restated in December 1994, without changing the fees each Fund
pays to Quest Distributors under such Plans, to reflect the intention of Quest
Distributors to assign its right to payments under the Plans in order to finance
Quest Distributors' costs in distributing Plan B Shares.

USE OF DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES. All or a portion of the distribution fees
paid by either Class A, B or C shares may be used by Quest Distributors to pay
costs of printing reports and prospectuses for potential investors and all or a
portion of the distribution and/or service fees may be paid to broker-dealers or
others for the provision of personal continuing services to shareholders,
including such matters as responding to shareholder inquiries concerning the
status of their accounts and assistance in account maintenance matters such as
changes in address. Payments under the Plan are not limited to amounts actually
paid or expenses actually incurred by Quest Distributors but cannot exceed the
maximum rate set by the Plan or by the Board. It is, therefore, possible that
Quest Distributors may realize a profit in a particular year as a result of
these payments. The Plans have the effect of increasing the Funds' expenses from
what they otherwise would be. The Board of each Fund reviews that Fund's
distribution payments and may reduce or eliminate the fee at any time without
further obligation of the Fund. Investors should understand that the purpose and
function of the distribution fee and CDSC applicable to Class B and C shares are
the same as the sales charge and distribution fee applicable to Class A shares,
i.e., to compensate Quest Distributors for expenses incurred in distributing
shares of the Funds. The SAIs contain more information about the Investment
Management Agreement and the Plans.

- ---------------------------------------------

 PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND TURNOVER

Quest Advisors may select its affiliate Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. ("Opco"), a
       registered broker-dealer to execute transactions for the Funds, provided
       that the commissions, fees or other remuneration received by Opco are
reasonable and fair compared to those paid to other brokers in connection with
comparable transactions. When selecting broker-dealers other than Opco,

                                                                              35
<PAGE>
Quest Advisors may consider their record of sales of shares of the Funds. (For a
further discussion of portfolio trading, see the SAIs, "Investment Objectives,
Policies and Restrictions"). Although Quest Advisors cannot accurately predict a
Fund's annual turnover rate, it is anticipated that the Small Capitalization,
Global Equity and Growth and Income Funds each will have an annual turnover rate
(excluding turnover of securities having a maturity of one year or less) of 100%
or less and that the U.S. Government Income, Opportunity, Investment Quality
Income and Global Income Funds each will have an annual turnover rate of 250% or
less. For the year ended October 31, 1994, the annual turnover rate of the
Growth and Income Fund was 113%, which was higher than anticipated, as a result
of asset allocation shifts made in reaction to interest rate changes and the
overall market outlook. To the extent that higher portfolio turnover increases
capital gains, more taxes will be payable. See "Tax Status".
- ---------------------------------------------

 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

ORGANIZATION OF THE FUNDS. The Small Capitalization, U.S. Government Income,
       Investment Quality Income, Opportunity and Growth and Income Funds are
       portfolios of Quest for Value Family of Funds (the "Trust"), an open-end
management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on
April 17, 1987. The Trust's other portfolios are National Tax-Exempt, California
Tax-Exempt and New York Tax-Exempt Funds and the Officers Fund. The Trust may
establish additional portfolios which may have different investment objectives
from those stated in this prospectus. Quest for Value Fund, Inc. and Quest for
Value Global Equity Fund, Inc. are each open-end diversified management
investment companies organized as Maryland corporations. Global Income Fund, an
open-end non-diversified management investment company, is a portfolio of Quest
for Value Global Funds, Inc., a company organized as a Maryland corporation.

  None of the Funds is required to hold annual shareholder meetings, although
special meetings may be called for a specific Fund or group of Funds as a whole
as required by applicable law or as requested in writing by holders of 10% or
more of the outstanding shares of the Fund for the purpose of voting upon the
question of removal of a director or trustee. Each Fund will assist shareholders
in communicating with one another in connection with such a meeting. For matters
affecting only one portfolio of Quest for Value Family of Funds or Quest for
Value Global Funds, Inc., only the shareholders of that portfolio are entitled
to vote. For matters affecting all the portfolios, but affecting them
differently, separate votes by portfolio are required. No stock certificates
will be issued unless specifically requested in writing.

  Under Massachusetts law shareholders of the Trust could, in certain
circumstances, be held personally liable as partners for obligations of the
Trust. The Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder
liability for acts or obligations of the Trust and its portfolios and requires
that notice of such disclaimer be given in each instrument entered into or
executed by the Trust on behalf of its portfolios. The Declaration of Trust also
provides indemnification out of the Trust's property for any shareholder held
personally liable for any of the obligations of the Trust. Thus, the risk of
loss to a shareholder from being held personally liable for the obligations of
the Trust is limited to the unlikely circumstance in which the Trust would be
unable to meet its obligations. There is a remote possibility that one Fund
might become liable for a misstatement in this Prospectus about another Fund.

<PAGE>
  Each class of shares represents identical interests in the applicable Fund's
investment portfolio. As such, they have the same rights, privileges and
preferences, except with respect to the: (a) designation of each class, (b)
effect of the respective sales charges, if any, for each class, (c) distribution
fees borne by each class, (d) expenses allocable exclusively to each class, (e)
voting rights on matters exclusively affecting a single class and (f) exchange
privilege of each class.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION: From time to time the Funds may advertise yield and
total return figures, based on historical earnings. The figures are not intended
to indicate future performance. "Yield" is calculated by dividing the net
investment income for the stated period (exclusive of gains, if any, from
options and financial futures transactions) by the value, at maximum offering
price on the last day of the period, of the average number of shares entitled to
receive dividends during the period. The yield formula assumes that net
investment income is earned at a constant rate and reinvested semi-annually.
"Total Return" refers to the average annual compounded rates of return over some
representative period that would equate an initial amount invested at the
beginning of a stated period to the ending redeemable value of the investment,
after giving effect to the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions and
deductions of expenses during the period. A Fund also may advertise its total
return over different periods of time by means of aggregate, average, year by
year or other types of total return figures. In addition, reference in
advertisements may be made to ratings and rankings among similar funds by
independent evaluators such as Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. or Morningstar
and the performance of the Funds may be compared to recognized indices of market
performance. Performance data will be computed separately for each Class of
shares in accordance with formulas specified by the SEC.

POSSIBLE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST BETWEEN CLASSES. The Boards of the Funds have
determined that currently no conflict of interest exists between Class A, B
and/or C shares of any Fund. On an ongoing basis, the Boards shall monitor the
Funds for the existence of any material conflicts between the interests of the
classes of outstanding shares. The Boards shall take such action as is
reasonably necessary to eliminate any such conflicts that may develop, up to and
including establishing a new Fund.

CUSTODIAN, TRANSFER AGENT AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AGENT. The custodian of the
assets, transfer agent and shareholder servicing agent for the Funds is State
Street Bank and Trust Company, whose principal business address is P.O. Box
8505, Boston, MA 02266. Cash balances of the Funds with the Custodian in excess
of $100,000 are unprotected by Federal deposit insurance. Such uninsured
balances may at times be substantial.

the Funds, including purchase and sale of shares of the Funds, as well as
inquiries concerning dividends and account statements. If you prefer, you may

                        APPLICATION TERMS AND CONDITIONS

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS. Because of
important changes made to the Internal Revenue Code, we must be certain that we
have a record of your correct Social Security Number or other taxpayer
identification number. If you have not certified that you have provided us with
the correct number, your account will be subject to special Federal income tax
withholding (called "backup withholding"); the law will then require us to
withhold 31% of each taxable dividend or capital gain distribution paid to you
in cash or reinvested in your account and will require us to withhold 31% of any
redemption. The amount withheld is paid to the Internal Revenue Service toward
the amount of Federal income taxes you owe. The Funds will not return to you an
amount withheld due to your failure to provide a correct certified number. In
addition, you may be subject to a $50.00 I.R.S. penalty. THEREFORE, PLEASE
INCLUDE YOUR CORRECT SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER OR TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER ON
EACH FUND APPLICATION.

  The following sets forth examples of what identification number to list:

TYPE OF ACCOUNT
REGISTRATION                         TAXPAYER NUMBER TO BE USED
- -----------------------------------  -----------------------------------
Individual Account                   Social Security Number of Applicant
Joint Account                        Social Security Number of Person
                                     Reporting Tax
Custodian Account for a Minor        Social Security Number of Minor
Corporation, Partnership, Trust,     Taxpayer Identification Number
Estate, Pension, Broker, Etc.
Nonresident Alien                    None Required

LETTER OF INTENT. Shares currently owned can be applied toward completion of a
Letter of Intent and will be valued at net asset value on the effective date.
That value will remain as such for the life of this Letter of Intent. Only
shares purchased after the effective date (which can be up to 90 days prior to
signing) can qualify for the reduced offering price.

  Shares equal to 5% of the dollar amount specified in the Letter of Intent will
be retained by the Transfer Agent by placing a restriction against transfer or
redemption of such shares, until the total purchases equal the aggregate amount
specified in the Letter, or, if the total purchases are less than such amount,
until the additional sales charge is paid. At that time, the shares will be
released. However, purchases of shares disposed of prior to completion of the
purchase requirement under the Letter of Intent will be disregarded in
determining the amount required to complete the Investment Commitment.

  If the intended investment is not completed, the purchaser must pay Quest
Distributors an amount equal to the difference between the amounts paid for
these purchases and the amounts that would have been paid in applicable sales
charges. If the shareholder does not pay the additional amount within 20 days
after written request by Quest Distributors or the Investor's broker, Quest
Distributors will redeem an appropriate number of the retained shares that will
realize the additional amount. Quest Distributors is hereby and irrevocably
appointed attorney to give instructions to redeem any or all of such retained
shares, with full power of substitution in the premises.

  The registered owner, whether or not the person who signed the Letter or
purchased the shares (for

                                                                              39

example, the donee of a gift), holds the shares registered in his or her name
subject to the terms of the Letter of Intent.

  Share purchases of Quest Cash Reserves, Inc. and those of other Quest funds
made without a sales charge are not eligible to be included.

  A Letter Of Intent must be referred to by any broker when placing orders for
the purchaser or any related parties. Quest Distributors must be notified of any
change in the broker of record.

WITHDRAWAL PLAN PROVISIONS. Periodic withdrawal payments will be made by
redemption of shares held in uncertificated form two business days before the
end of the month. Payments will be mailed on the first business day of the next
month. Redemption of shares will reduce or may even liquidate your account. For
this reason, payments cannot be considered a yield or income on the Investment.
Income dividends and capital gains distributions will be received in shares at
net asset value. Total payout option involves payments of varying amounts. Each
payment is calculated by dividing the current net asset value of the shares in
the account by the number of payments remaining to the end of the period
selected. Payments from the total payout option will cease at the end of the
period selected and the account will be completely exhausted.

  You may terminate the Plan at any time by written notice to State Street Bank
and Trust Company ("State Street"), or State Street may terminate the Plan at
any time upon receiving directions to that effect from the Fund. State Street
will also terminate the Plan upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to it of your
death or legal incapacity. Upon termination of the Plan by you, State Street, or
the Fund, shares remaining unredeemed will be held in an uncertificated account
in your name, and the account will continue as a dividend-reinvestment
uncertificated account unless and until proper instructions are received from
you, your executor or guardian, or as otherwise appropriate.

  State Street shall incur no liability to you for any action taken or omitted
by State Street in good faith. In the event that State Street shall cease to act
as transfer agent for the Fund, you will be deemed to have appointed any
successor transfer agent as your Agent in administering the Plan.

MISCELLANEOUS. These terms shall be construed according to the laws of the State
of New York.

  The broker-dealer represented on the Application must have an effective sales
agreement with Quest for Value Distributors signed by a principal of the firm.
The broker further represents that it has informed the investor of the terms and
conditions relating to the options elected.

  If the investor does not sign the Application, the broker represents that the
form is completed in accordance with the investor's instructions and agrees to
indemnify the Fund, its servicing agent, and Quest for Value for any loss or
liability resulting from acting upon such instructions.
