AND NQDC

ISSUED BY

THE MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK ("MONY")
1740 BROADWAY, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10019; (914) 697-8000

The Group Variable Annuity Contracts ("Contracts") described in this
Prospectus are designed and offered as funding vehicles for retirement plans
maintained by state educational organizations, certain tax-exempt organizations,
IRA Contractholders, taxed organizations in the case of the Section 401(a)
and/or Section 401(k) Contracts and corporate nonqualified deferred compensation
contracts ("NQDC"). The Section 401(k) Contract will fund the benefits for tax
qualified pension and profit-sharing plans from employee contributions of such
organizations and employer contributions, if any. The Section 403(b) Contract
will purchase tax-deferred annuities for the employees of these same
organizations. The Section 457 Contract will provide deferred compensation
eligible for deferred tax treatment and the Section 457(f) Contract will provide
deferred compensation which is not eligible for deferred tax treatment to these
same organizations. The Section 72 (flexible annuity) Contract will fund
after-tax benefits. The Section 401(a) Contract will fund benefits for
tax-qualified pension and profit-sharing plans of such organizations as well as
taxed subsidiaries of such organizations and stand-alone taxed organizations.
The Section 408 (Individual Retirement Account ("IRA")) Contract is a Group
Variable Annuity Contract which will provide for on-going or rollover
contributions, from employees of tax-exempt or taxed organizations and from
members and employees of associations. The NQDC Contract will provide deferred
compensation eligible for deferred tax treatment to employees of taxed
organizations. Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.

Insofar as possible, the provisions of the Contracts are identical, and the
information provided in this Prospectus is generally applicable to all
Contracts. However, whenever statutory or administrative considerations require
significant differences among the Contracts, such differences are explained
separately for each.

Purchase Payments under the Contracts are allocated to a segregated
investment account of The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York ("MONY"),
which account has been designated Keynote. Purchase Payments directed to Keynote
may be allocated among such of the Subaccounts in Keynote as are made available
under the Contracts. The assets in each Subaccount are invested in a series of
Diversified Investors Portfolios or in the Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced
Portfolio ("Calvert Series") at their net asset value. (See "Diversified
Investors Portfolios" at page 13 and Calvert Series at page 12.) The six
currently available Series of Diversified Investors Portfolios are the Money
Market Series, Intermediate Government Bond Series, Government/Corporate Bond
Series, Balanced Series, Equity Income Series and Equity Growth Series. The
Calvert Series is an actively managed, diversified portfolio of common and
preferred stocks, bonds, and money market instruments which offer income and
capital growth opportunity and which satisfy the social concern criteria
established by the Calvert Series. A copy of the Calvert Series Prospectus
appears at the end of this Keynote Prospectus.

KEYNOTE SUBACCOUNTS WHICH INVEST IN DIVERSIFIED INVESTORS PORTFOLIOS DO SO
UNDER A "HUB AND SPOKE(R)" ARRANGEMENT. UNLIKE OTHER FUNDING VEHICLES INTO WHICH
PURCHASE PAYMENTS MAY BE INVESTED THROUGH VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS ISSUED BY
INSURANCE COMPANIES, DIVERSIFIED INVESTORS PORTFOLIOS OFFERS ITS INTERESTS FOR
SALE TO OTHER TYPES OF COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT VEHICLES IN ADDITION TO INSURANCE
COMPANY SEPARATE ACCOUNTS REGISTERED AS INVESTMENT COMPANIES UNDER THE
INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940. SUCH INVESTORS MAY INCLUDE MUTUAL FUNDS, BANK
COLLECTIVE TRUSTS AND UNREGISTERED INSURANCE COMPANY SEPARATE ACCOUNTS. SEE
"DIVERSIFIED INVESTORS PORTFOLIOS -- HUB AND SPOKE(R) STRUCTURE" ON PAGE 31
HEREIN. HUB AND SPOKE(R) IS A REGISTERED SERVICE MARK OF SIGNATURE FINANCIAL
GROUP, INC.

The value of the Accumulation Accounts maintained in Keynote will vary based
upon the investment experience of the Subaccounts to which Purchase Payments are
allocated. The investment experience of the Subaccounts will vary based on the
underlying investment performance of the series of Diversified Investors
Portfolios and the Calvert Series.

This Prospectus sets forth the basic information that a prospective
purchaser should know before investing. Please keep this Prospectus for future
reference.

by reference, and containing additional information about the Contracts and

THE CONTRACTS

The Group Variable Annuity Contract(s) ("Contract(s)") described in this
Prospectus are designed and offered as funding vehicles for retirement Plans
maintained by state educational organizations, certain tax-exempt organizations,
IRA Contractholders and for taxed organizations for Section 401(a) and/or
Section 401(k) Contracts and corporate nonqualified deferred compensation
Contracts ("NQDC"). The Section 401(k) Contract will fund the benefits for
tax-qualified pension and profit-sharing plans from employee/employer
contributions of such organizations. The Section 403(b) Contract will purchase
tax-deferred annuities for employees of these same organizations. The Section
457 Contract will provide deferred compensation eligible for deferred tax
treatment and the Section 457(f) Contract will provide deferred compensation
which is not eligible for deferred tax treatment to these same organizations.
The Section 72 (flexible annuity) Contract will fund after-tax benefits. The
Section 401(a) Contract will fund benefits for tax-qualified pension and
profit-sharing Plans of such tax-exempt organizations as well as taxed
subsidiaries of these organizations and stand-alone taxed organizations; the
non-qualified deferred compensation Contracts ("NQDC") will fund benefits for
taxed organizations. The Section 408 (Individual Retirement Account ("IRA"))
Contract is a Group Variable Annuity Contract which will provide for on-going or
rollover contributions from employees of tax-exempt or taxed organizations and
from members and employees of associations. Section references are to the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

<PAGE> 9

considerations require significant differences among the Contracts, such
differences are explained separately for each.

With respect to Section 401(a), Section 401 (k) and NQDC Contracts, the
employer and/or the employee will make contributions pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the underlying retirement Plan. As to the Section 403(b), Section
457 and Section 457(f) Contracts, the employer will make Purchase Payments for
each participating employee pursuant to either a salary reduction agreement or
an agreement to forego a salary increase under which the employee decides the
level and number of Purchase Payments to his/her Accumulation Account, except
with respect to employer-sponsored Section 401(a) Plans under which the employer
will make contributions pursuant to the underlying retirement Plan. As to the
Section 72 flexible annuities Contract, the employer will make Purchase Payments
for each participating employee pursuant to a salary deduction agreement. In the
case of the Section 408 IRA Contract, the employer will make Purchase Payments
on behalf of and as determined by each participating employee pursuant to a
salary deduction agreement.

KEYNOTE

Purchase Payments under the Contract(s) are allocated to Keynote which is a
separate account of MONY. Keynote is divided into Subaccounts, six of which
correspond to Diversified Investors Portfolios' Money Market, Intermediate
Government Bond, Government/Corporate Bond, Balanced, Equity Income, and Equity
Growth Series, respectively. The Calvert Series Subaccount invests in the
Calvert Series. The assets in each Subaccount are invested in the corresponding
series of Diversified Investors Portfolios or the Calvert Series at their net
asset value (See "Diversified Investors Portfolios" at page 13 and "Calvert
Series" at page 12.) Each series of Diversified Investors Portfolios is managed
by Diversified Investment Advisors, Inc. ("Diversified"). MONY Securities Corp.,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of MONY, is the principal underwriter and distributor.
The Calvert Series is a series of Acacia Capital Corporation, a diversified
open-end management company whose investment adviser is Calvert Asset Management
Company, Inc.

The value of a Participant's Accumulation Account maintained in Keynote
will vary based upon the investment experience of the series of Diversified
Investors Portfolios or the Calvert Series to which Purchase Payments are
allocated.

The Calvert Series is an actively managed portfolio of common and preferred
stocks, bonds, and money market instruments which offer income and capital
growth opportunity and which satisfy the social concern criteria established by
the Calvert Series. A copy of the Calvert Series Prospectus appears at the end
of this Keynote Prospectus. Diversified Investors Portfolios is an open-end,
diversified management investment company which has six series with differing
investment objectives available under the Contracts. See "Diversified Investors
Portfolios" at page 13 herein.

CHARGES

MONY makes daily charges against the net assets of Keynote at a maximum
annual rate of 1.25%, consisting of .80% for mortality risks and .45% for
administrative expense risks. Effective May 1, 1993, the annual rate charged is
.90% consisting of .60% for mortality risks and .30% for administrative expense
risk. However, MONY reserves the right to charge a maximum fee of 1.25% upon
notice thereafter. (See "Charges -- Charges for Mortality and Expense Risks" on
page 13.) In addition, MONY reserves the right to deduct an annual contract
charge, not to exceed $50, from a Participant's Accumulation Account (See
"Charges -- Annual Contract Charge" on page 15.)

In addition to the charges set forth above, Diversified, which serves as an
investment adviser to each series of Diversified Investors Portfolios, and
Calvert Asset Management Company, Inc., which serves as investment adviser to
the Calvert Series, impose a charge against the net asset value of each series
of Diversified Investors Portfolios or the Calvert Series, as appropriate,
computed daily, for investment advisory services and other expenses.

<PAGE> 10

Premium taxes may be payable on annuity considerations. (See "Premium Tax"
on page 16.)

CREDIT AND ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS

Purchase Payments will be credited to the Subaccounts designated by the
Participant in the form of Units. The number of Units credited will not change
but the dollar value of a Unit will vary depending upon the investment
experience of the series of Diversified Investors Portfolios or the Calvert
Series, as appropriate. (See "Credit of Purchase Payments" on page 19.)

REDEMPTION

A Participant may redeem at any time prior to the time an annuity benefit
takes effect and prior to his death all or a portion of the Units credited to
his Accumulation Account without any charge, subject to any limitations in the
underlying Plan. There are no redemption charges. (See "Restrictions Under the
Texas Optional Retirement Program" on page 21, for withdrawal restrictions
applicable to Contracts issued under the Texas Optional Retirement Program.)

A penalty tax may be payable under the Code upon the redemption of amounts
from an Accumulation Account under the Contract and other significant withdrawal
restrictions may be imposed by the Code. (See, "Section 403(b) Annuities" on
page 25 and "Section 408 IRA Contracts" on page 27.)

TRANSFERS

A Participant may transfer all or a portion of his/her Accumulation Account
in Keynote among the various Subaccounts. No transfer charges are imposed, and
there is no limit to the number of transfers. While MONY has no present
intention to do so, it reserves the right to impose transfer charges at a later
date. Transfers may be made in writing or by telephone by calling (914)
697-8000. (See "Transfers" on page 18.) MONY reserves the right to discontinue
allowing telephone transfers.

PAYMENT OPTIONS

Unless a Fixed Annuity is elected, a Participant will receive a lump sum
payment at the end of the Accumulation Period. The Contracts may provide for
several Fixed Annuity options: Life Annuity, Life Annuity With Period Certain,
Specified Fixed Period Annuity, Contingent Annuity and Contingent Annuity With
Period Certain. For NQDC, an installment payment option may also be available.
(See "Payment Options" on page 21.)

SUBSTITUTION OF SHARES OF DIVERSIFIED INVESTORS PORTFOLIOS

Subaccounts formerly investing Purchase Payments allocated by Participants
in shares of the Money Market, Intermediate Government Bond, Long Term Bond,
Diversified/Balanced, Equity Income, and Equity Growth Portfolios of the MONY
Series Fund, Inc. effected the redemption of all such shares. The proceeds
received by the respective Subaccounts were used to purchase beneficial
interests in corresponding series of Diversified Investors Portfolios in
accordance with an order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission dated
June 8, 1994. (See "The Substitution" on page 30.)

VOTING RIGHTS

To the extent required by law, MONY will vote the interests in Diversified
Investors Portfolios and the Calvert Series held in Keynote in accordance with
the instructions received from Contractholders, IRA Contractholders and NQDC
Contractholders; the Contractholders will instruct MONY in accordance with the
instructions received from Participants. (See "Voting Rights" on page 23.)

<PAGE> 11

DEATH BENEFIT

If a Participant dies before the Annuity Purchase Date, the Accumulation
Account value will be paid to his/her beneficiary in a lump sum. (See "Death
Benefit" on page 20.)

DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS

MONY Securities Corp. ("MSC") will be the principal underwriter and
distributor of the Contracts which will be sold by registered representatives
who are also licensed insurance agents of MONY. The Contracts may also be sold
through other broker-dealers authorized by MSC and applicable law and who may be

* Keynote Series Account commenced operations on May 23, 1988 and, from that
date until the effective date of the Substitution, each Keynote Subaccount
(other than the Calvert Series Subaccount) invested in shares of a
corresponding portfolio of MONY Series Fund, Inc. The first five Subaccounts
shown above became available for allocation on November 22, 1988. The
Intermediate Government Bond Subaccount became available on May 1, 1991. The
Calvert Series Subaccount became available on May 1, 1990.

** Effective June 1994, the Keynote Diversified/Balanced Subaccount was renamed
the "Keynote Balanced Subaccount" and the Keynote Long Term Bond Subaccount
was renamed the "Keynote Government/Corporate Bond Subaccount".

*** No change in unit values occurred at the time of the Substitution. See "The
Substitution" at page 30.

Further information about the performance of Keynote is contained in the
Annual Report of Keynote which is available, free of charge, by contacting
MONY at the address or at the telephone number set forth on the cover of this
Prospectus.

MONY

The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York is a mutual life insurance
company which was organized under the laws of the State of New York in 1842. Its
principal place of business is 1740 Broadway, New York, N.Y. 10019. MONY is
currently licensed to sell life insurance and annuities in all states of the
United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and all Provinces of
Canada.

KEYNOTE SERIES ACCOUNT

Keynote was established by MONY under New York Insurance Law on December
16, 1987 as a separate account. Keynote will hold assets that are segregated
from all of MONY's other assets and at present is used only to support the
Contracts. MONY is the legal holder of the assets in Keynote and will at all
times maintain assets in Keynote with a total market value at least equal to the
contract liabilities for Keynote. The obligations under the Contracts are
obligations of MONY. Income, gains, and losses, whether or not realized, from
assets allocated to Keynote, are, in accordance with the Contracts, credited to
or charged against Keynote without regard to other income, gains, or losses of
MONY. The assets in Keynote may not be charged with liabilities which arise from
any other business MONY conducts. Keynote assets may include accumulation of the
charges MONY makes against a Contract participating in Keynote. From time to
time, any such additional assets may be transferred in cash to MONY's general
account.

Keynote is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") as a unit investment
trust, which is a type of investment company. This does not involve any
supervision by the SEC of the management or investment policies or practices of
Keynote. For state law purposes, Keynote is treated as a part or division of
MONY.

There are currently seven Subaccounts within Keynote which are available
for allocation of Purchase Payments under the Contracts. The Calvert Series
Subaccount invests only in the Calvert Responsibly Invested Balanced Portfolio
(the "Calvert Series"), a series of Acacia Capital Corporation, an open-end
management investment company registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act. The
six other Subaccounts invest in six respective series of Diversified Investors
Portfolios, an open-end diversified management investment company registered
with the SEC under the 1940 Act. Set forth below is a brief description of the
Calvert Series and Diversified Investors Portfolios. A full description of the
Calvert Series, its investment objectives, policies and restrictions, its
expenses, the risks attendant in investing therein and other aspects of its
operations is contained in the accompanying prospectus for the Calvert Series.
Full descriptions of the six series of Diversified Investors Portfolios, their
investment objectives, policies and restrictions, their expenses, the risks
attendant to investing therein and other aspects of their operations are set
forth herein under "Diversified Investors Portfolios" at page 12. Further
disclosure appears in the Statement of Additional Information. Each Participant
should periodically consider his/her allocation among the Subaccounts in light
of current market conditions and the investment risks attendant to investment in
the various series of Diversified Investors Portfolios and the Calvert Series.

CALVERT SERIES

The Calvert Series is a series of Acacia Capital Corporation ("Acacia"), a
Maryland corporation registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act as an open-end
management company, whose investment adviser is Calvert Asset Management
Company, Inc. The shares of Acacia are currently sold only to insurance
companies for allocation to their separate accounts to fund the benefits under
certain variable annuity and variable life insurance policies issued by such
companies. Because the Calvert Series sellsits shares to insurance companies
offering both variable annuity and variable life insurance policies, potential
for conflict between the interests of Contractholders of these contracts may
arise. The Board of Directors of Acacia will monitor the Calvert Series for the
existence of any material irreconcilable conflict between interests of
Contractholders of all separate accounts investing in the Calvert Series. If it
is determined by a majority of the Board of Acacia that such conflict exists
then MONY will take

12
<PAGE> 14

whatever steps are necessary to eliminate the material conflict, including
withdrawing the assets allocable to some of the separate accounts from Calvert
Series and reinvesting them in a different investment medium. For additional
risk exposure, see the Calvert Series prospectus which is contained in the last
section of this Prospectus. Keynote will purchase and redeem shares from the
Calvert Series at net asset value.

The investment objective of the Calvert Series is set forth in the
prospectus for the Calvert Series which appears at the end of this Prospectus.
Briefly, the objective is to achieve a total return above the rate of inflation
through an actively managed, diversified portfolio of common and preferred
stocks, bonds and money market instruments which offer income and capital growth
opportunity and which satisfy the social concern criteria established for the
Calvert Series. There can be no assurance that the objective of the Calvert
Series will be realized.

DIVERSIFIED INVESTORS PORTFOLIOS

Each of the other six Subaccounts of Keynote listed below invests
exclusively in the corresponding series of Diversified Investors Portfolios set
forth below:

</TABLE>

Diversified Investors Portfolios is registered with the SEC under the 1940
Act as an open-end diversified management investment company. This registration
does not involve supervision by the SEC of the management or investment
practices or policies of Diversified Investors Portfolios.

Diversified acts as investment adviser and administrator to each series of
Diversified Investors Portfolios. With respect to each series of Diversified
Investors Portfolios, Diversified has contracted for certain investment advisory
services with one or more subadvisers. Diversified and the subadviser or
subadvisers for a particular series of Diversified Investors Portfolios are
referred to herein collectively as the "Advisers". The investment objectives of
the series of Diversified Investors Portfolios currently available under the
Contracts through Subaccounts are described briefly below. There can be no
assurance that the investment objectives of any of the series will be met.

Money Market Series: To provide liquidity and as high a level of current
income as is consistent with the preservation of capital through investment in
domestic and foreign U.S. dollar-denominated money market obligations with
maturities of 397 days or less. An investor's interest in the Keynote Money
Market Subaccount is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government.

Intermediate Government Bond Series: To provide as high a level of current
income as is consistent with the preservation of capital through investment in
U.S. Government and U.S. Government agency and instrumentality securities with
short and intermediate maturities and high quality short-term obligations.

13
<PAGE> 15

Government/Corporate Bond Series: To achieve the maximum total return
through investment in investment grade debt securities, U.S. Government and U.S.
Government agency and instrumentality securities, collateralized mortgage
obligations guaranteed by these agencies and instrumentalities and high quality
short-term obligations.

Balanced Series: To provide a high total return consistent with a broad
diversified mix of stocks, bonds and money market instruments.

Equity Income Series: To provide a high level of current income through
investment in a diversified portfolio of common stocks with relatively high
current yields; capital appreciation is a secondary objective.

Equity Growth Series: To provide a high level of capital appreciation
through investment in a diversified portfolio of common stocks with potential
for above average growth in earnings; current income is a secondary objective.

See "Diversified Investors Portfolios" at page 13 and the Statement of
Additional Information for more information on each series.

THE TRANSACTION

On December 31, 1993, MONY and AEGON USA, Inc. ("AEGON") entered into a
transaction pursuant to which MONY sold its group pension operation to AEGON
(the "Transaction"). As a part of the Transaction, the Contracts may be
transferred through assumption reinsurance to AUSA Life Insurance Company, Inc.
("AUSA"), a New York domiciled stock life insurance company and an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of AEGON. Subject to the receipt of any necessary state
insurance department approvals and authorizations each Contractholder will
receive materials relating to this assumption.

In addition, as a result of the Transaction, the group fixed annuity
contracts which have been issued by MONY to Contractholders may also be
transferred to AUSA through assumption reinsurance. Based upon regulatory and
other consideration, the transfer of any fixed contract may occur before,
concurrent with, or after the transfer of the companion variable Contract which
is offered through this Prospectus. Accordingly, all references in this
Prospectus to a companion fixed annuity contract shall refer to the fixed
contract issued by MONY or the fixed contract which has been assumed by AUSA, as
appropriate.

AUSA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of First AUSA Life Insurance Company, a
stock life insurance company which is whollyowned by AEGON. AEGON is a financial
services holding company whose primary emphasis is on life and health insurance
and annuity and investment products. AEGON is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary
of AEGON nv, a Netherlands corporation which is a publicly traded international
insurance group.

CHARGES

CHARGES FOR MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISKS

The maximum daily charges against Keynote for mortality and expense risks
assumed by MONY are computed and deducted from the value of the net assets of
Keynote. This maximum daily charge will be at the rate of 0.003425% (equivalent
to an annual rate of 1.25%) of the average daily net assets of Keynote. The
daily charge will be deducted from the net asset value of Keynote, and therefore
the Subaccounts, on each Valuation Date. Where the previous day (or days) was
not a Valuation Date, the deduction on the Valuation Date will be 0.003425%
multiplied by the number of days since the last Valuation Date. The sum of these
charges on an annual basis will not exceed 1.25% of the average net assets
invested in Keynote. Of this charge, MONY estimates that .80% is for mortality
risk and .45% is for expense risk. (The daily charge from Keynote based on an
annual mortality and expense risk rate of .90%, .60% for mortality risks and
.30% for administrative expense risks, which was effective May 1, 1994, is
0.002466%.)

The mortality risk is that individuals may live for a longer period of time
than projected and therefore a greater amount of annuity benefits than projected
will be payable. The expense risk is that expenses incurred in issuing and
administering the Contract will exceed the administrative expense charge
provided in the Contract. MONY believes that this level of charge is within the
range of industry practice for comparable group variable annuity contracts.

Sales distribution expenses and any other expenses in excess of the
described charges will be paid from MONY's general account and not directly from
Keynote or from the mortality and expense risk charges. However, asset charges
for MONY's assumption of mortality and expense risks might be a source of
contribution to the surplus in MONY's general account.

ANNUAL CONTRACT CHARGE

MONY reserves the right to deduct an annual contract charge from a
Participant's Accumulation Account to reimburse MONY for administrative expenses
relating to the maintenance of the Contracts. MONY has no present intention to
impose such a charge; however, MONY may, in the future, impose such a charge in
accordance with the provisions of the Contracts. Any such annual charge will not
exceed $50. MONY also reserves the right, if such a charge is imposed, to waive,
on a temporary or permanent basis, all or part of such charge for certain
classes of Contracts or for certain new classes of Contracts which may be sold
in the future. If imposed, this charge would represent reimbursement for
administrative costs expected to be incurred over the life of the Contracts.
MONY does not anticipate any profit from this charge.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE

Because Keynote purchases interests in certain series of Diversified
Investors Portfolios and the Calvert Series, the net assets of Keynote will
reflect the investment management fee and other expenses incurred by those
series of Diversified Investors Portfolios and the Calvert Series.

Diversified serves as the investment adviser to each series of Diversified
Investors Portfolios. For information with respect to the arrangements under
which Diversified provides such advisory services,including charges and
arrangements with subadvisers, reference is made to the information set forth
under "Management of Diversified Investors Portfolios" at page 44.

The Calvert Series' investment adviser is the Calvert Asset Management Company,
Inc. ("Investment Adviser") which is located at 4550 Montgomery Avenue, Suite
1000N, Bethesda, Maryland 20814. The Investment Adviser is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Calvert Group, Ltd., which is in turn a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Acacia Mutual Life Insurance Company. Pursuant to its investment advisory
agreement with the Calvert Series, the Investment Adviser manages the fixed
income investment of the Calvert Series and is responsible for the overall
management of the business affairs of the Calvert Series subject to the
direction and authority of the Board of Directors of Acacia. The sub-adviser to
the Calvert Series is NCM Capital Management Group, Inc. ("NCM"). Pursuant to
its Investment Subadvisory Agreement with the Investment Adviser, NCM manages
the equity portion of investments for the Calvert Series. NCM is an
employee-owned subsidiary of Sloan Financial Group. Sloan

15
<PAGE> 17

Financial Group is controlled by Maceo K. Sloan and Justin F. Beckett and is one
of the largest minority-owned investment management firms in the country. The
Investment Adviser receives from the Calvert Series a monthly base fee, computed
on a daily basis at an annual rate of 0.70% of the average daily net assets of
the Calvert Series. The Investment Adviser pays NCM a base fee of 0.25% of
one-half of the Calvert Series' net assets. In addition, the Investment Adviser
and NCM may earn (or have their fees reduced by) performance fee adjustments
based on the extent to which performance of the Calvert Series exceeds or trails
the Lipper Balanced Funds Index. Payment of the performance fee adjustment
begins July 1, 1996. The specific adjustments are as follows:

INVESTMENT ADVISER'S PERFORMANCE FEE ADJUSTMENT

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
PERFORMANCE VERSUS THE PERFORMANCE FEE
LIPPER BALANCED FUND INDEX ADJUSTMENT
-------------------------- ---------------
<S> <C> <C>
6% to <12% 0.05%
12% to <18% 0.10%
18% or more 0.15%
</TABLE>

NCM'S PERFORMANCE FEE ADJUSTMENT

The performance fee adjustment to NCM is paid out of the fee the Investment
Adviser receives from the Calvert Series. The initial performance period will be
the twelve month period between July 1, 1995 and July 1, 1996. Each month an
additional month's performance will be factored into the calculation until a
total of 36 months comprises the performance computation period. Payment by the
Calvert Series of the performance fee adjustment will be conditioned on (i) the
performance of the Calvert Series as a whole having exceeded the Lipper Balanced
Fund Index and (ii) payment of the performance fee adjustment not causing the
Calvert Series' performance to fall below the Lipper Balanced Fund Index.

PREMIUM TAX

Under the laws of certain jurisdictions, premium taxes are payable on
annuity considerations which can include Purchase Payments or the Accumulation
Account under the Contracts. Any applicable premium taxes will generally be
deducted when the Accumulation Account under a Contract is applied to purchase
an annuity. Under present laws, the range of premium taxes is from 5% to 4.0%.
Attached as an Appendix to this Prospectus is a schedule of applicable premium
taxes payable upon annuitization which are in effect as of the date of this
Prospectus. The laws of the various jurisdictions relating to annuity taxes and
the interpretations of such laws are subject to changes which may affect the
deductions, if any, under the Contracts for such taxes.

SUMMARY OF THE CONTRACTS

ELIGIBLE PURCHASERS

State educational organizations and organizations that qualify for
tax-exempt status under Code Section 501(c)(3), including associations thereof
that qualify for tax-exempt status under Code Section 501(c)(3), are eligible
purchasers. In addition, any organization qualifying as an IRA Contractholder
may purchase an IRA Contract. Any type of non-profit organization as well as
taxed subsidiaries of tax-exempt organizations and taxed stand-alone
organizations may purchase a Section 401(a) and/or a Section 401(k) or an NQDC
Contract(s).

OWNERSHIP

The employer or association purchasing a Contract is the owner of the
Contract for the benefit of the Participants. The Contract will cover all
eligible Participants under a Plan. Each Participant will receive a certificate
at the time his/her first annuity payment becomes payable, or earlier, if
required by applicable law. The certificate summarizes the Participant's
benefits under the Contract.

PURCHASE PAYMENTS

With respect to the Section 401(a) Contract, the employer and/or employee
will make contributions pursuant to the underlying retirement Plan. The Section
401(k) and NQDC Contracts will accept employer and/or employee contributions
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the underlying Plan. As to the Section
403(b) Contract, the employer will make Purchase Payments in accordance with a
salary reduction agreement or an agreement to forego a salary increase, except
with respect to employer-sponsored Section 403(b) Plans under which the employer
will make contributions pursuant to the underlying retirement Plan. As to the
Section 72 flexible annuities Contract, the employer will make Purchase Payments
for each participating employee pursuant to a salary deduction agreement. In the
case of the Section 408 IRA Contract, the employer will make Purchase Payments
on behalf of and as determined by each participating employee pursuant to a
salary reduction agreement. An Accumulation Account will be established for each
Participant which will record the number of Units held in each Subaccount.
Purchase Payments may be allocated among any of the Subaccounts.

All Purchase Payments in Keynote credited to an Accumulation Account are
vested and nonforfeitable. However, Purchase Payments made by employers,
including all such payments made under a Section 401(a) Contract, which are not
the result of a reduction in salary or a give up in salary agreement, under an
employer-sponsored Plan may be forfeitable but are generally subject to the
vesting requirements, where applicable, of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended. In general, all Purchase Payments made to the
NQDC, Section 457 and Section 457(b) Contracts may be forfeitable even though
partially or fully vested.

EMPLOYER SPONSORED PLAN REQUIREMENTS

Since the Contracts are intended to implement the Plans of state
educational organizations, organizations that qualify for tax-exempt status
under Code Section 501(c)(3), IRA Contractholders and, in the case of Section
401(a) and/or Section 401(k) and NQDC Contracts, for taxed subsidiaries ofsuch
organizations and stand-alone taxed organizations and since such Plans may be
sponsored by employers or associations who may have their own desires regarding
certain Plan details and the manner in which the Plan is to be administered,
there will be some variations in details in the Contract and Plan to reflect
such desires. Reference to the provisions of the Plan in which the individual is
a Participant must be made in all cases for particulars.

RIGHTS OF THE PARTICIPANT UNDER THE CONTRACT

There are no stipulated or required Purchase Payments to be made under the
Contract. Except for the 15 days prior to a Participant's Annuity Purchase Date
(See "Annuity Purchase Date" at page 20) during which no Purchase Payments will
be accepted by MONY, an employer may make Purchase Payments during a
Participant's Accumulation Period in the amount authorized by the Participant.
The Contract permits the Participant to elect his/her Annuity Purchase Date, to
allocate Purchase Payments, to redeem all or a portion of the Units in his/her
Accumulation Account, to designate

17
<PAGE> 19

beneficiaries, and to elect Fixed Annuity options, except that
employer-sponsored Plans may affect these rights.

During a Participant's Accumulation Period, one's rights and those of the
Contractholder or IRA Contractholder shall be as set forth in the Contract and
Plan. On and after the Annuity Purchase Date, or on the Participant's death, if
earlier, all rights, as specified in the Contract and Plan, shall belong to the
Participant or beneficiary as the case may be.

RIGHTS UPON SUSPENSION OF CONTRACT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN

403(b) Contract

In the event that the making or receipt of all Purchase Payments under
certain 403(b) Contracts is discontinued or a Contractholder terminates its Plan
or discontinues Purchase Payments for a Participant, MONY shall give written
notice thereof to the appropriate Participant(s) together with notice of the
right of the Participant to elect to have the value of his/her Accumulation
Account applied under one of the following options: (1) to be held and
distributed by MONY in accordance with the terms of the Contract, (2) to be paid
to him/her in cash, or (3) in the event of suspension of the Contract or
termination of the Plan, to be transferred to an alternate funding agency (e.g.,
another insurance company). Certain other 403(b) Contracts require the
Contractholder, not AUSA, to give written notice thereof to Participants.

401(a) Contract/401(k) Contract and NQDC Contracts

If the Contractholder terminates its Plan or discontinues Purchase
Payments, it is the Contractholder's responsibility, and not MONY's, to give
written notice thereof to the affected Participants. In such cases, the
Contractholder shall elect to have the entire balance held under the Contract
applied under one of the following options: (1) to be held and distributed by
MONY in accordance with the terms of the Contract; (2) to be transferred to an
alternate funding agency (e.g., another insurance company); or (3) to purchase
deferred, paid-up life annuity benefits for Participants.

457, 457(f), Flexible Annuity, and 408(IRA) Contracts

If the Contractholder or IRA Contractholder terminates its Plan or
discontinues Purchase Payments for a Participant, MONY shall give written notice
thereof to the appropriate Participant(s) together with notice of the right of
the Participant to elect to have the value of his/her Accumulation Account
applied under either of the following options: (1) to be held and distributed by
MONY in accordance with the terms of the Contract or (2) to be paid to him/her
in cash, except that, under the terms of certain 457 Contracts, the
Contractholder, not AUSA, shall give notice to affected Participants.

FAILURE OF QUALIFICATION

In the event that a Plan, Contractholder or IRA Contractholder or a
Participant thereunder becomes ineligible for any previously applicable tax
benefits under the Code, MONY upon notice thereof shall refuse during the period
of such ineligibility to accept Purchase Payments with respect to that Plan or
Participant. A failure of qualification under a particular Contract shall have
no effect on other issued and outstanding Contracts.

TRANSFERS

No transfers may be made between any of the Contracts; however, the
following transfers are permissible with respect to each Contract.

401(a), 401(k), 403(b), 457, 457(f), Flexible Annuity, 408(IRA) and NQDC
Contracts

Transfers from the MONY Section 403(b), Section 401(a), Section 401(k) and
NQDC Group Fixed Annuity Contracts to a Participant's Accumulation Account under
the Keynote Contracts are permitted only to the Subaccounts which invest in the
Balanced Series, Equity Income Series, Equity Growth Series or Calvert Series.
Certain other restrictions which apply to transfers from the MONY Sec-

18
<PAGE> 20

tion 403(b), Section 401(a), Section 401(k) and NQDC Group Fixed Annuity and
408(IRA) Contracts to the Keynote Contracts are contained in the MONY Section
403(b), Section 401(a), Section 401(k) and NQDC Group Fixed Annuity and Section
408(IRA) Contracts.

Transfers may be made in writing or by telephoning (914) 697-8000.
Transfers are effective within 48 hours of receipt of instructions. All
Participants should be aware that a transfer authorized by telephone and
reasonably believed to be genuine by MONY may subject the Participant to risk of
loss if such instruction is subsequently found not to be genuine. MONY will
employ reasonable procedures, including requiring Participants to give certain
identification information and tape recording of telephone instructions, to
confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine. To the extent
that MONY fails to use reasonable procedures to verify the genuineness of
telephone instructions, MONY may be liable for any losses due to telephone
instructions that prove to be fraudulent or unauthorized.

RIGHTS RESERVED BY MONY

Subject to compliance with applicable laws and, when required by law,
approval of the Contractholders, IRA Contractholders, NQDC Contractholders
and/or Participants and any appropriate regulatory authority, MONY reserves the
right to make the following changes:

(1) To operate Keynote in any form permitted under the 1940 Act or in any
other form permitted by law;

(2) To take any action necessary to comply with or obtain and continue any
exemptions from the 1940 Act;

(3) To transfer any assets in a Subaccount of Keynote to another Subaccount
of Keynote, or to one or more separate accounts, or to MONY's general
account to the extent permitted by law or to add, combine or remove
Subaccounts in a separate account;

(4) To substitute, for the interests in a series of Diversified Investors
Portfolios or the Calvert Series held in any Subaccount, interests in
another series of Diversified Investors Portfolios or interests in
another investment company or any other investment permitted by law;
and

(5) To make any necessary technical changes in the Contracts in order to
conform with any of the above-described actions or as may be required
or permitted by applicable laws affecting Keynote or the Contracts.

CREDIT OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS

A Participant's initial Purchase Payment will be credited to the
Participant's Accumulation Account to provide Units as of a Valuation Date for
the Valuation Period, not later than (1) two business days after receipt of the
Purchase Payment by MONY at 4 Manhattanville Road, Purchase, New York 10577, if
the contract application and/or Participant's enrollment form is complete upon
receipt, or (2) two business days after an application and/or enrollment form
which is incomplete upon receipt by MONY is made complete, provided that if such
information is not made complete within five business days after receipt, (i)
the prospective Participant will be informed of the reasons for the delay, and
(ii) the initial Purchase Payment will be returned immediately and in full,
unless the prospective Participant specifically consents to MONY retaining the
Purchase Payment until such information is made complete.

Subsequent Purchase Payments will be credited to the Participant's
Accumulation Account to provide Units as of the Valuation Date for the Valuation
Period in which the Purchase Payment is received in good order by MONY.

ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS

Upon receipt of a Purchase Payment, it will be credited to the Subaccount
designated by the Participant in the form of Units. The number of Units to be
credited is determined by dividing the dollar amount allocated to the particular
Subaccount(s) by the Unit value of that Subaccount for the Valuation Date for
the Valuation Period on which the Purchase Payment is received. The number of
Units shall not be changed by any subsequent change in the value of a Unit, but
the dollar allocation

19
<PAGE> 21

value of a Unit will vary in amount depending upon the investment experience of
the applicable Subaccount.

Allocation instructions may be changed at any time by sending to MONY a
correctly completed allocation form. Any change in allocations will be effective
within 10 business days following receipt of the allocation form by MONY. If an
allocation form is incorrectly completed, Purchase Payments will be credited in
accordance with the most recent allocation form on record. MONY reserves the
right to limit a Participant's right to change allocation instructions to four
times a calendar year.

DETERMINATION OF UNIT VALUE

The Unit value for each of the Subaccounts was established at $10 for the
first Valuation Date. The Unit value for a Subaccount for any subsequent
Valuation Date is determined by subtracting (b) from (a) and dividing the result
by (c), where

(a) is the aggregate net asset value on the Valuation Date of all
investments by the Subaccount in the series of Diversified Investors
Portfolios or the Calvert Series in which the Subaccount invests, and

(b) is the mortality and expense risk charge accrued as of that Valuation
Date, and

(c) is the total number of Units held in the Subaccount on the Valuation
Date before the purchase or redemption of any Units on that Date.

DEATH BENEFIT

Under a Section 403(b), Section 457, Section 457(f), flexible annuity and
Section 408(IRA) Contract, if a Participant dies before the Annuity Purchase
Date (See "Annuity Purchase Date" on page 21), the value of his/her Accumulation
Account will be paid to the beneficiary in a lump sum. If the beneficiary is
under the age of 75 at the time of the Participant's death, the beneficiary may
elect to have this lump sum applied to provide a Fixed Annuity. A lump sum
payment to some extent may be taxed as ordinary income to the beneficiary in the
year received. A beneficiary should consider the possible tax advantages to
electing an annuity. (See "Section 403(b) Annuities" on page 25). Under a
Section 401(a) and/or Section 401(k) Contract, however, the underlying
tax-qualified Plan is generally required to provide that in the case of a
married Participant, a survivorship annuity death benefit will be paid to the
surviving spouse if the Participant dies prior to retirement. In each case
involving a Section 401(a) and/or Section 401(k) Contract, reference must be
made to the underlying Plan for particulars.

If the Participant dies before the Annuity Purchase Date, his/her entire
interest must generally be distributed within five (5) years after the date of
death, or if payable to a designated beneficiary must be annuitized over the
life of that designated beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the
life expectancy of that beneficiary, within one year after the date of death. If
the beneficiary is the Participant's spouse, distributions are not required to
be made until the April 1st after the end of the calendar year in which the
Participant would have attained age 70 1/2; if the spouse dies before
distributions begin, the rules discussed above will apply as if the spouse were
the Participant (owner).

If a lump sum payment is elected, the Accumulation Account value will be
determined on the Valuation Date for the Valuation Period in which a certified
copy of the death certificate evidencing the Participant's death is received by
MONY. If a Fixed Annuity is elected, the Accumulation Account value will be
determined on the Valuation Date for the Valuation Period of the beneficiary's
Annuity Purchase Date. For Section 401(a) and/or Section 401(k) and NQDC
Contracts, the underlying Plan should be consulted to determine the options
available.

For NQDC Contracts, the remaining value will be paid to a designated
beneficiary. If no such beneficiary is so designated or in existence, the
remaining value will be paid in the following order: Participant's (1) spouse,
(2) children, (3) parents, (4) siblings and (5) estate.

For all Contracts except NQDC Contracts, the death benefit is guaranteed to
be not less than the total amount of all contributions, less any withdrawals,
made by the Participant.

20
<PAGE> 22

REDEMPTION DURING THE ACCUMULATION PERIOD

For Section 403(b), Section 457, Section 457(f), flexible annuity and
Section 408(IRA) Contracts and subject to applicable federal tax law
restrictions, a Participant at any time during his/her Accumulation Period and
prior to his/her death may redeem all or a portion of the Units credited to the
Accumulation Account. There is no redemption charge. (See "Federal Tax Status"
on page 25.)

The Accumulation Account value redeemed or the Units remaining after a
partial redemption will be determined on the Valuation Date for the Valuation
Period in which a written request for a redemption on a form approved by MONY is
received by MONY. The Accumulation Account will be reduced by the lesser of the
number of Units obtained by dividing the amount of the redemption request by the
Unit value for that day or the number of Units remaining in the Accumulation
Account.

A full or partial redemption payment will be made within seven days after
receipt of the written request. A request for a partial redemption must specify
the Subaccount(s) from which the partial withdrawal is to be made. Payment may
be postponed as permitted by the 1940 Act. Currently, deferment is permissible
only when the New York Stock Exchange is closed or trading is restricted, when
an emergency exists as a result of which disposal of the interests in
Diversified Investors Portfolios or Calvert Series held by Keynote is not
reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine fairly
the value of these assets, or when the SEC has provided for such deferment for
the protection of Participants.

A withdrawal will generally have federal income tax consequences which may
include penalties. (See "Federal Tax Status" on page 25.)

With respect to Section 401(a) and Section 401(k) or NQDC Contracts, the
ability to withdraw funds during the Accumulation Period is generally more
limited; however, in each instance the underlying Plan document should be
consulted to determine what options, if any, are available.

RESTRICTIONS UNDER THE TEXAS OPTIONAL RETIREMENT PROGRAM

The Teacher Retirement System of Texas permits Participants in the Texas
Optional Retirement Program ("ORP") to redeem their interest in a variable
annuity contract issued under the ORP only upon termination of employment in the
Texas public institutions of higher education, retirement or death. Accordingly,
a Participant in the ORP will be required to obtain a certificate of termination
from his/her employer before he/she can redeem his/her Accumulation Account.

PAYMENT OPTIONS

With respect to Section 403(b), Section 457, Section 457(f), flexible
annuity and Section 408(IRA) Contracts, unless a Fixed Annuity as described at
page 22 is elected, payment to the Participant shall be made at the end of
his/her Accumulation Period in a lump sum calculated in the same manner as if a
total withdrawal request of one's Accumulation Account had been received by MONY
on his/her Annuity Purchase Date. (See page 19 for, "Redemption During the
Accumulation Period".) However, Section 401(a) and Section 401(k) and NQDC
Contracts provide the funding for the Plans and reference to the particular Plan
must be made in each case for details. For example, tax-qualified Plans must
generally provide by law that in the case of a married Participant who does not
properly elect otherwise, retirement annuity benefits will be paid in the form
of a contingent annuity with a survivorship annuity benefit for his surviving
spouse at least equal to 50% of the amount which would have been payable if the
Participant were living. For NQDC Contracts, the employer may also provide for
installment payments without the purchase of an annuity.

ANNUITY PURCHASE DATE

The Annuity Purchase Date is the first day of the month coincident with or
following the receipt by MONY of written notice, submitted through the
Participant's employer, of the Participant's retirement (i.e., the termination
of employment with his/her employer). Subject to the terms of the Plan, a
Participant may elect to retire at any time and receive annuity benefits. As a
general rule, benefits must begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year
following the year in which the

21
<PAGE> 23

Participant attains age 70 at which time an election to receive an annuity or
lump sum benefit must be made.

In the case of a beneficiary who elects a Fixed Annuity, the Annuity
Purchase Date will be the first day of the month following receipt by MONY of
the election of a Fixed Annuity; however, if any election is received during the
last 15 days of a month, the Annuity Purchase Date will be the first day of the
second month after receipt of the election.

For Section 408(IRA) Contracts, the Annuity Purchase Date is the date the
annuity first begins under the terms of the IRA Contract.

FIXED ANNUITY

Fixed Annuity payments are not made from Keynote but are made from the
general account of MONY which supports insurance and annuity obligations.
Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, Fixed Annuity payments and
interests in the general account have not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, nor is the general account registered as an investment company
under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, neither the general account nor any interests
therein are generally subject to the provisions of the 1933 or 1940 Acts. The
SEC staff has not reviewed the disclosures in this Prospectus that relate to the
Fixed Annuity payments and interests in the general account. Disclosures
regarding Fixed Annuity payments and the general account in this Prospectus,
however, may be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the
federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements
made in prospectuses.

A Fixed Annuity may not be elected if the initial monthly payment under the
form elected would be less than $20. Fixed Annuity payments will be made monthly
unless the annuitant elects to receive payments annually, semi-annually or
quarterly. Any such election must be made at the same time that the annuitant
elects to receive a Fixed Annuity and cannot be changed during the annuity
period. Once a Fixed Annuity takes effect, it may not be redeemed, surrendered
or changed to any other form of annuity.

FIXED ANNUITY OPTIONS

The following Fixed Annuity options may be available:

(i) Life Annuity -- Annuity payments will be made during the lifetime of
the annuitant. It would be possible for the annuitant to receive no
annuity payment if he/she died prior to the date of the first annuity
payment.

(ii) Life Annuity With Period Certain -- Annuity payments will be made
during the lifetime of the annuitant with the guarantee that if the
annuitant dies before a period certain elected, the beneficiary will
receive payments for the duration of the period. The period certain
may be any number of years between 5 and 20 inclusive.

(iii) Specified Fixed Period Annuity -- Annuity payments will be made for a
specified fixed period elected by the annuitant. If the annuitant
dies during the specified fixed period, the annuity payments for the
remainder of the period will be paid to the beneficiary. No annuity
payments are made after the expiration of the specified fixed period
even if the annuitant survives. The specified fixed period may be for
any number of years between 10 and 30 years inclusive.

(iv) Contingent Annuity -- Annuity payments will be made during the joint
lifetimes of the annuitant and a designated second person ("contingent
annuitant") with payments continued during the remaining lifetime of
the contingent annuitant. Annuity payments to the contingent annuitant
may be made in the same amount paid while both annuitants lived or a
lesser percentage of this amount. For Section 401(a) and/or Section
401(k) Contracts, in the absence of a proper election by the
Participant, a contingent annuity with a survivorship annuity benefit
for the surviving spouse at least equal to 50% of the amount which
would have been payable if the Participant were living will be the
normal form of benefit.

If the contingent annuitant dies before the first annuity payment to
the annuitant, the contingent annuity election will be void and the
annuitant will receive a Life Annuity. If the

22
<PAGE> 24

contingent annuitant dies after the first annuity payment to the
annuitant, but before the death of the annuitant, annuity payments under
the Contingent Annuity election will be made to the annuitant during
his/her lifetime. If the annuitant and the contingent annuitant die
before the date of the first annuity payment, no annuity payments will
be made.

(v) Contingent Annuity With Period Certain -- Annuity payments will be
made during the joint lifetimes of the annuitant and a designated
second person ("contingent annuitant"). Annuity payments to the
contingent annuitant may be in the same amount as paid to the
annuitant or a lessor percentage of that amount and will be made for a
period certain of any number of years between 5 and 20 years
inclusive.

The Life Annuity With Period Certain and the Specified Fixed Period Annuity
may only be elected for a number of years that will not exceed an annuitant's
life expectancy. The annuity benefit option elected by the Participant will
affect the level of annuity payments the Participant will receive. The longer
annuity payments are projected to continue based upon actuarial possibilities,
the lower annuity payments will be.

The annuity purchase rates for these Fixed Annuity benefits shall not
exceed, during the first 10 years of the Contracts, the maximum rates set forth
in the Contracts. Thereafter, the annuity purchase rate will be the rate
declared by MONY for all Fixed Annuity benefits purchased under the applicable
Contract in the same Contract Year in which the Annuity Purchase Date occurs.
The guaranteed level of Fixed Annuity payments will be determined based upon (i)
a Participant's Accumulation Account value on the Annuity Purchase Date, (ii)
the applicable annuity purchase rate on the Annuity Purchase Date which will
reflect the age of the Participant and (iii) the type of Fixed Annuity option
elected.

PAYMENTS TO A BENEFICIARY FOLLOWING THE ANNUITANT'S DEATH

If any annuity payment is payable to the beneficiary after the death of an
annuitant on or after his/her Annuity Purchase Date but during a period certain,
it shall be payable as each payment becomes due to the beneficiary. If the
benefit is payable to more than one beneficiary, it shall be paid in equal
shares to such beneficiaries, the survivors or survivor, unless the annuitant
has elected otherwise. Upon the death of the last surviving beneficiary, MONY
shall pay the commuted value of any remaining payments in a lump sum cash
payment to the estate of such last surviving beneficiary in lieu of any further
income payments.

The annuitant's beneficiary may direct in writing to MONY that any income
payable after the death of the annuitant or contingent annuitant be terminated
and a single commuted value be paid to the beneficiary. The commuted values
referred to above shall be based upon the value of the payments for the balance
of the period certain determined as of the date MONY receives written notice of
thebeneficiary's election to receive the commuted value on the basis of the
interest rate (compounded annually) inherent in the annuity purchase rate
applied to provide the annuitant's Fixed Annuity.

VOTING RIGHTS

The assets held in the Subaccounts of Keynote will be invested in the
corresponding series of Diversified Investors Portfolios or the Calvert Series.
MONY is the legal holder of these interests and shares held in a Subaccount and
as such has the right to vote to elect the governing Boards of Diversified
Investors Portfolios and Acacia, to vote upon certain matters that are required
by the 1940 Act to be approved or ratified by the shareholders of a mutual fund,
and to vote upon any other matter that may be voted upon at a shareholders'
meeting. To the extent required by law, MONY will vote at regular and special
shareholder meetings in accordance with the instructions received from
Contractholders, IRA Contractholders and NQDC Contractholders. The record date
for any such vote shall be selected by the governing Boards of Diversified
Investors Portfolios or the Calvert Series. MONY will furnish Contractholders,
IRA Contractholders and NQDC Contractholders with the proper forms to enable
them to give it these instructions.

Each Contractholder, IRA Contractholder and NQDC Contractholder will have
the equivalent of one vote per $100 of the dollar value of the Accumulation
Accounts in a Contract held in each

23
<PAGE> 25

Subaccount of Keynote, with fractional votes for amounts less than $100. These
votes, represented as votes per $100 of Accumulation Account value in each
Subaccount of Keynote, are converted into a proportionate number of votes in
beneficial interests in a series of Diversified Investors Portfolios or shares
of the Calvert Series. Interests held in each Subaccount for which no timely
instructions from Contractholders, IRA Contractholders or NQDC Contractholders
are received will be voted by MONY in the same proportion as those interests in
that Subaccount for which instructions are received. Should applicable federal
securities laws or regulations permit, MONY may elect to vote in its own right.

A Participant will have the right to instruct the Contractholder, IRA
Contractholder or NQDC Contractholder with respect to interests in the series of
Diversified Investors Portfolios or the Calvert Series attributable to his/her
portion of the Accumulation Account held in each Subaccount of Keynote. Each
Participant under the Contract shall receive a statement of the amount
attributable to his/her participation in each Subaccount of Keynote and stating
his/her right to instruct the Contractholder as to how to vote such interest.
MONY will provide voting instruction materials to the Contractholder, IRA
Contractholder or NQDC Contractholder and to the Participants.

The Contractholder, IRA Contractholder and NQDC Contractholder shall
provide voting instructions to MONY with respect to interests attributable to
the Accumulation Account values held in a Subaccount in accordance with
instructions received by Participants. For interests for which no timely
instructions from Participants are received, the Contractholder, IRA
Contractholder or NQDC Contractholder will instruct MONY to vote these interests
in the same proportion as those shares for which instructions from Participants
are received.

Matters on which the Contractholder, IRA Contractholder or NQDC
Contractholder may give voting instructions include the following: (1) election
of the governing Boards Diversified Investors Portfolios or Acacia; (2)
ratification of the independent accountant of Diversified Investors Portfolios
or the Calvert Series; (3) approval of any change in the Investment Advisory
Agreement or any Subadvisory Agreement for a series of Diversified Investors
Portfolios or the Calvert Series corresponding to the Contractholder's, IRA
Contractholder's or NQDC Contractholder's selected Subaccount(s); (4) any change
in the fundamental investment policies of a series of Diversified Investors
Portfolios or the Calvert Series corresponding to the Contractholder's, IRA
Contractholder's or NQDC Contractholder's selected Subaccount(s); and (5) any
other matter requiring a vote of the shareholders of Diversified Investors
Portfolios or the Calvert Series. With respect to approval of the Investment
Advisory Agreements or Subadvisory Agreements or any change in a fundamental
investment policy, Contractholders, IRA Contractholders and NQDC Contractholders
participating in that Subaccount will vote separately on the matter pursuant to
the requirements of Rule 18f-2 under the 1940 Act.

MONY may, if required by state insurance officials, disregard voting
instructions if those instructions would require voting to cause a change in the
subclassification or investment objectives or policies of one or more of the
series of Diversified Investors Portfolios or the Calvert Series, or to approve
or disapprove an investment adviser or principal underwriter for one or more
series of Diversified Investors Portfolios or the Calvert Series. In addition,
MONY may disregard voting instructions that would require changes in the
investment objectives or policies of any series of Diversified Investors
Portfolios or the Calvert Series or in an investment adviser or principal
underwriter for Diversified Investors Portfolios or the Calvert Series, if MONY
reasonably disapproves those changes in accordance with applicable federal
regulations. If MONY disregards voting instructions, it will advise
Contractholders, IRA Contractholders, NQDC Contractholders and Participants of
that action and its reasons for the action in the next semiannual report to
Contractholders, IRA Contractholders, NQDC Contractholders and Participants.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS

MSC will act as the principal underwriter and the distributor of the
Contracts pursuant to an underwriting agreement, on behalf of Keynote, with
Diversified Investors Portfolios and the Calvert Series. MSC will perform all
sales, marketing and administrative functions relative to the Contracts which
participate in Keynote, with certain exceptions in connection with the use of
other authorized broker-dealers. MSC is registered as a broker-dealer under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a

24
<PAGE> 26

member of the National Association of Securities Dealers. The Contracts are sold
by individuals who are registered representatives of MSC and who are also
licensed as insurance agents for the Company. The Contracts may also be sold
through registered representatives of other broker-dealers authorized by MSC and
applicable law who may be insurance agents licensed by an insurance company
other than MONY. Commissions and other expenses directly related to the sale of
the Contracts will not
exceed 8 percent of Purchase Payments. Additional expense allowance may be paid
for other services not directly related to the sale of the Contracts. Such
services include the training of personnel and the production of promotional
literature.

FEDERAL TAX STATUS

The ultimate effect of federal income taxes on Fixed Annuity payments and
on the economic benefit to the Participant, annuitant, payee and beneficiary
depends on the tax and employment status of the individual concerned.

The discussion which follows on the treatment of MONY and of the Contracts
under federal income tax law is general in nature, is based upon MONY's
understanding of current federal income tax laws, and is not intended as tax
advice. No representation is made regarding the likelihood of continuation of
the present federal income tax law or of the current interpretations by the
Internal Revenue Service. No attempt is made to consider any applicable state or
other tax laws. Each Contractholder, IRA Contractholder, NQDC Contractholders
and Participant contemplating investment in the Contracts should consult a
qualified tax adviser.

Participants receiving large distributions (generally those in excess of
$150,000 per year; or lump sum distributions in excess of $150,000) from
qualified retirement Plans, including those funded throughSection 401(a),
Section 408(IRA) and Section 403(b) Contracts, may be subject to a 15% excise
tax on their distributions in excess of a specified amount.

TAX TREATMENT OF MONY

MONY is taxed as a life insurance company under Part I, Subchapter L of the
Code. Investment income from the assets of Keynote are reinvested and taken into
account in determining the value of Keynote. Under existing federal income tax
law, the investment income of Keynote, including realized capital gains, is
substantially not taxed to MONY.

TAXATION OF DIVERSIFIED INVESTORS PORTFOLIOS

Diversified Investors Portfolios is organized as a New York trust. None of
its series are subject to any income or franchise tax in the State of New York.
Each of its series, since it is taxed as a partnership, is not subject to
federal income taxation. MONY, as an investor in a series of Diversified
Investors Portfolios, will be taxable on its share (as determined in accordance
with the governing instruments of Diversified Investors Portfolios) of such
series' ordinary income and capital gain in determining its income tax
liability. The determination of such share will be made in accordance with the
Code and regulations promulgated thereunder. See "Tax Treatment of MONY" above.

SECTION 403(B) ANNUITIES

Purchase Payments made under a Contract meeting the requirements of Section
403(b) of the Code afford certain federal income tax benefits to employees of
state educational organizations, and organizations which are tax-exempt under
Section 501(c)(3) of the Code.

The employer may make contributions to the Contract or the employer may
agree with the Participant that in return for employer contributions to the
Contract, the Participant will take a reduction in salary or give up a salary
increase. The agreement may not be changed with respect to earnings of the
Participant while the agreement is in effect. The Participant can only make one
agreement with his/her employer during the year, but the Participant may
terminate the agreement at any time with respect to amounts not yet earned. No
federal income tax is payable by the Participant on increases in the value of
his/her Accumulation Account until payments are received by the Participant.

Purchase Payments meeting the requirements of Sections 402(g), 403(b) and
415 of the Code are not includable in the gross income of the Participant at the
time they are made. Under Sec-

25
<PAGE> 27

tion 402(g) of the Code, Purchase Payments made under a reduction in salary or a
give up in salary increase agreement ("elective deferrals") are excluded from a
Participant's gross income to the extent of the lesser of $9,500 or the
Participant's exclusion allowance. The $9,500 limit will be reduced on a dollar
for dollar basis by employee pre-tax elective deferrals made by that individual
under a Section 401(k) Plan, a simplified employee pension plan, or other tax
deferred annuity. Under Section 403(b) of the Code, Purchase Payments made under
a reduction in salary or a give up in salary agreement and/or contributed by the
employer are excluded from a Participant's gross income to the extent of the
applicable "exclusion allowance". The "exclusion allowance" is equal to 20% of a
Participant's includable compensation (taxable earnings) for the tax year,
multiplied by the number of years of employment, reduced by the total of
Purchase Payments made in prior tax years.

When Fixed Annuity payments commence, or if the Participant obtains a
partial or full redemption of the Units credited to his/her Accumulation Account
under the Contract, the amount received will be includable as ordinary income in
the year received, except that such portion of any amount received as is deemed
to represent a return of Purchase Payments originally included as gross income
made by the Participant will not be taxed. Full redemptions do not qualify for
special capital gains treatment nor 5-year income averaging applicable to
qualified plan lump sum distributions. However if a Participant makes a full
redemption after attaining age 59 1/2 or on account of a separation from
service, he/she may delay including the distribution in income by making a
rollover transfer, subject to requirements set by the Code, to an Individual
Retirement Account or another Section 403(b) annuity. A partial redemption of at
least 50% of the balance to the credit of a Participant on account of a
separation from service may be rolled over to an Individual Retirement Account,
subject to requirements set by the Code.

If the Participant receives any amount under the Contract, the Participant
must pay an additional tax of 10% of the amount of the distribution includable
in gross income for the taxable year. This additional tax shall not apply to
distributions which are (1) made after the date on which the Participant attains
age 59 1/2, (2) made to a beneficiary on or after the death of the Participant,
(3) attributable to the Participant's becoming permanently disabled, (4) made
after separation from service in a series of substantially equal periodic
payments made for the life (or life expectancy) of the Participant or the joint
lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Participant and his beneficiary, (5)
made to a Participant after separation of service after attainment of age 55,
(6) made to a Participant for medical care (not to exceed the amount deductible
by the employee), or (7) paid to alternate payees under a qualified domestic
relations order.

Restrictions on Withdrawals of Elective Contributions. Effective January
1, 1989 and thereafter, any funds in the Participant's account balance other
than funds attributable to assets held at the close of the last year beginning
before January 1, 1989 will be restricted from withdrawal except upon attainment
of age 59 1/2, separation from service, death, disability or hardship (hardship
withdrawals are to be limited to the amount of the Participant's own
contributions exclusive of earnings). However, any funds in the Participant's
account balance attributable to employer contributions, if any, and the earnings
thereon will not be restricted unless specifically provided for by the
employer's plan.

In tax years beginning after 1988, Section 403(b) Plans (other than church
plans) will be subject to nondiscrimination and coverage requirements, as well
as special rules with respect to minimum distributions.

SECTION 401(A) PLANS

An employer maintaining a pension or profit sharing Plan which satisfies
the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code may make contributions to the
Contract which are generally currently deductible by the employer and are not
currently taxed to the Participants. The Code prescribes various limitations on
the maximum amount which may be contributed on behalf of any Participant. In
addition, Participants may make after-tax contributions to the Contract if their
Section 401(a) Plan permits.

When Fixed Annuity payments commence, or if the Participant obtains a
partial redemption of the units credited to his/her Accumulation Account under
the Contract, the amount received will be

26
<PAGE> 28

includable as ordinary income in the year received, except that such portion of
any amount received as is deemed to represent a return of Participant after-tax
Purchase Payments will not be taxed. Full redemptions may qualify for special
capital gains treatment or 5-year or 10-year income averaging if the payment
constitutes a "lump sum distribution," as that term is defined in the Code.

The rules governing rollovers of distributions from a Section 401(a) Plan
are parallel to those dealing with distributions from Section 403(b) annuities.
In addition, the 10% penalty on premature distributions from Section 403(b)
annuities is also applicable to Section 401(a) Plan distributions.

SECTION 408 (IRA) CONTRACTS

An individual, participating under a Contract which satisfies the
requirements of Section 408 of the Code, may make contributions to the Contract.
The Code prescribes various limitations on the maximum amounts which may be
contributed by or on behalf of the Participant and on the deductibility of the
contributions for federal income tax purposes. No federal income tax is payable
by the Participant on increases in the value of his/her Accumulation Account
until payments are received by the Participant.

When Fixed Annuity payments commence, or if the Participant obtains a
partial redemption of the units credited to his/her Accumulation Account under
the Contract, the amount received will be includable as ordinary income in the
year received, except that such portion of any amount received which is deemed
to represent a return of Participant nondeductible Purchase Payments will not be
taxed. Full or partial redemptions do not qualify for special capital gains
treatment nor 10-year income averaging applicable to certain qualified plan
distributions.

If the Participant receives any amount under the Contract prior to
attainment of age 59 1/2, the Participant must pay an additional excise tax of
10% of the amount of the distribution includable in gross income for the taxable
year. The additional tax shall not apply to distributions which are (1) made to
a beneficiary on or after the death of the Participant, (2) attributable to the
Participant's becoming permanently disabled or (3) made in a series of
substantially equal periodic payments made for the life (or life expectancy) of
the Participant or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
Participant and his/her beneficiary. Any full or partial redemption will not be
includable in ordinary income if the Participant rolls over the distribution
within 60 days to another IRA.

MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS

If the actual distributions from a qualified retirement plan, eligible
state or local government deferred compensation plan or an IRA are less than the
minimum required to be distributed commencing by April 1 in the calendar year
following the year the Participant attains age 70 1/2 (see "Annuity Purchase
Date" on page 21) the difference is considered to be an excess accumulation and
the IRS may impose a 50% excise tax on this excess amount.

SECTION 457 PLANS

Section 457 of the Code allows employees of or independent contractors who
furnish services to a state or local government to establish a deferred
compensation plan allowing the deferral of certain limited amounts of
compensation by way of salary reduction. State and local government includes a
state, a political subdivision of a state, any agency or instrumentality of
either of them, a tax-exempt rural electric cooperative or its tax-exempt
affiliates. Contributions are based on a special definition of compensation and
include any amounts contributed to a Section 403(b) tax sheltered annuity for
determining the contribution limits. All amounts deferred, property bought with
those amounts or income earned on those amounts remain the property of the
employer and are subject to the claims of its general creditors. Distributions
from a Section 457 plan are subject to Section 401(a)(9) of the Code in addition
to the rules applicable under Section 457 of the Code and must begin no later
than the April 1st of the calendar year following the year in which the
participant attains age 70 1/2.

SECTION 457(F) PLANS

In the case of a Plan for an eligible employer providing for the deferral
of compensation for an employee but which is not eligible for deferred tax
treatment, the compensation shall be included in the gross income of the
participant or beneficiary for the first taxable year in which there is no
substantial

27
<PAGE> 29

risk of forfeiture of the rights to such compensation and taxed in accordance
with Section 72 of the Code.

SECTION 72 FLEXIBLE ANNUITIES

The term annuity includes all periodic payments resulting from the
systematic liquidation of a principal sum. Section 72 determines what portion of
each payment is excludable from gross income as a return of the purchaser's
investment and what portion is taxed as interest earned on that investment.

Section 72 of the Code places a penalty on premature distributions but
generally exempts qualified distributions from a qualified retirement plan.

NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION CONTRACTS

Taxed employers may establish a non-qualified deferred compensation
arrangement funded by non-qualified deferred compensation contracts allowing the
deferral of compensation through salary reduction. Such plans include, but are
not limited to, excess benefit plans, plans maintained by an employer primarily
for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, as well as
rabbi and secular trusts. Taxed employers for these non-qualified deferred
compensation plans include corporations, partnerships, S corporations and any of
their affiliates or subsidiaries. Contributions are determined on the plan's
definition of compensation. All amounts deferred by employees and any income
earned thereon remain the property of the employer and are subject to the claims
of its general creditors. In-service withdrawals from non-qualified deferred
compensation plans may be permitted for reasons of hardship under certain
conditions as specified in the plans. Distributions from these plans are
permitted when the Participant terminates employment, becomes permanently
disabled, retires, dies or as otherwise specified in the plan. As a general
rule, the Participant is subject to taxation upon receipt of the funds, and
there is usually no tax consequences to the employer, i.e., no deduction is
available for an employee's salary reduction agreement until paid out.

Such non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements for taxable employers
may be funded by either a Keynote Contract alone or by a Keynote Contract in
combination with a Fixed Annuity Contract.

INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING

Unless the Participant or payee elects to have no withholding, the taxable
portion of distributions under a Contract will be subject to income tax
withholding under federal and certain state laws. MONY will notify recipients of
taxable distributions under a Contract of their right to elect not to have
withholding apply.

For NQDC Contracts, no withholding is made and no election is needed.

Effective January 1, 1992, distributions from qualified retirement plans
and Section 403(b) Contracts, other than individual retirement arrangements
("IRAs"), generally will be subject to mandatory federal income tax withholding
unless they either are:

1. Part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (at
least annually) for the participant's life or life expectancy, the joint
lives or life expectancies of the participant and his/her beneficiary, or a
period certain of not less than 10 years, or

2. Required by the Code upon the participant's attainment of age 70
1/2 or death.

Such withholding will apply even if the distribution is rolled over into
another qualified plan including an IRA. The withholding can be avoided if the
participant's interest is directly transferred by the old plan to another
eligible qualified plan including an IRA. A direct transfer to the new plan can
be made only in accordance with the terms of the old plan. If withholding is not
avoided, the amount withheld may be subject to income tax and penalties.

Pursuant to Revenue Ruling 90-24 of the Code, an exchange of a Section
403(b) annuity contract for another Section 403(b) annuity contract may qualify
as a tax-free exchange.

PERFORMANCE DATA

From time to time the performance of one or more of the Subaccounts may be
advertised. The performance data contained in these advertisements is based upon
historical earnings and is not indicative of future performance. The data for
each Subaccount reflects the results of the corresponding series of Diversified
Investors Portfolios or the Calvert Series and recurring charges and deductions
borne by or imposed on the Subaccount and on the corresponding series of the
Diversified Investors Portfolios or the Calvert Series. Set forth below for each
Subaccount is the manner in which the data contained in such advertisements will
be calculated.

Money Market Subaccount. The performance data for this Subaccount will
reflect the "yield", "effective yield" and "total return". The "yield" of the
Subaccount refers to the income generated by an investment in the Subaccount
over the seven day period stated in the advertisement. This income is
"annualized", that is, the amount of income generated by the investment during
that week is assumed to be generated each week over a 52-week period and is
shown as a percentage of the investment. The "effective yield" is calculated
similarly, but, when annualized, the income earned by an investment in the
Subaccount is assumed to be reinvested. The "effective yield" will be slightly
higher than the "yield" because of the compounding effect of this assumed
reinvestment. The total return is calculated as shown below.

Intermediate Government Bond, Government/Corporate Bond, Balanced, Equity
Income, Equity Growth and Calvert Series Subaccounts. The performance data for
these Subaccounts will reflect the "yield" and "total return". The "yield" of
each of these Subaccounts refers to the income generated by an investment in
that Subaccount over the 30 day period stated in the advertisement and is the
result of dividing that income by the value of the Subaccount. The value of each
Subaccount is the average daily number of Units outstanding multiplied by the
Unit Value on the last day of the period. The "yield" reflects deductions for
all charges, expenses, and fees of both the Series and the Subaccount Variable.
"average annual total return" for each of these Subaccounts and the Money Market
Subaccount refers to the return a Contractholder would receive during the period
indicated if a $1,000 Purchase Payment was made the indicated number of years
ago. It reflects historical investment results less charges and deductions of
both the Series and the Subaccount, with the distribution being made in cash
rather than in the form of one of the settlement options, at the close of the
period for which the "annualized total return" data is given.

Total return is historical in nature and is not intended to indicate future
performance. Total return will be quoted for the most recent one-year period,
and the average annual total return will be quoted for the most recent five- and
ten-year periods, or the period from the commencement of the public offering of
the Contracts, if shorter. Actual total return quotations may also be advertised
for other specified periods, such as calendar years and calendar quarters.
Cumulative total return for periods of more than one year may also be quoted.
These figures will be accompanied by the standard, average annual total return
quotations.

From time to time, any series of Diversified Investors Portfolios or the
Calvert Series may provide information concerning general economic conditions
and supply comparative performance data and rankings, with respect to comparable
investments for the same period, for unmanaged market indices such as the Dow
Jones Industrial Average and the Standard and Poor's 500, and from recognized
independent sources such as Donoghue's Money Fund Report, Bank Rate Monitor,
Money, Forbes, Barron's, Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., CDA Investment
Technologies, Inc., Frank Russell Universe Data, Wiesenberger Investment
Companies Service, Mutual Fund Values, Mutual Fund Forecaster, VARDS and
Morningstar.

In addition, reference may be made in advertisements to various indices
including, without limitation, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index, Salomon
Brothers Broad Investment Grade Index and Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate
Bond Index, and Russell Price Driven Index, in order to provide the reader a
basis of comparison for performance.

THE SUBSTITUTION

Prior to the Substitution, Purchase Payments allocated by Participants to
the Subaccounts set forth below were invested in shares of the portfolios of
MONY Series Fund, Inc. set forth below:

On June 8, 1994, the SEC issued an order pursuant to certain provisions of
the 1940 Act approving the proposed Substitution within each Subaccount listed
above of interests in a corresponding series of Diversified Investors Portfolios
for the shares of the MONY Series Fund, Inc. held by each such Subaccount. In
accordance with such SEC order, each such Subaccount effected the redemption of
the shares of MONY Series Fund, Inc. held by it and immediately invested the
proceeds received from such redemptions in corresponding series of Diversified
Investors Portfolios. The following series of Diversified Investors Portfolios
were substituted for the following portfolios of MONY Series Fund, Inc. under
the terms of the Substitution.

At the time of the Substitution, the Keynote Long Term Bond Subaccount was

DIVERSIFIED INVESTORS PORTFOLIOS

Six Subaccounts of Keynote invest exclusively in corresponding series of
Diversified Investors Portfolios. Diversified Investors Portfolios is a trust
organized on September 1, 1993 under the laws of the State of New York and is
registered under the 1940 Act as an open-end, diversified management investment
company. The investment objectives of the series of Diversified Investors
Portfolios currently available under the Contracts through such Subaccounts are
as follows:

Money Market Series: To provide liquidity and as high a level of income as
is consistent with the preservation of capital, through investment in domestic
and foreign U.S. dollar-denominated money market obligations with maturities of
397 days or less. An investor's interest in the Money Market Series is neither
insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government.

Intermediate Government Bond Series: To provide as high a level of current
income as is consistent with preservation of capital, through investment in U.S.
Government and U.S. Government agency and instrumentality securities with short
and intermediate maturities, and high quality short-term obligations.

Government/Corporate Bond Series: To achieve the maximum total return
through investment in investment grade debt securities, U.S. Government and U.S.
Government agency and instrumentality securities, collateralized mortgage
obligations guaranteed by these agencies or instrumentalities and high quality
short-term obligations.

Balanced Series: To provide a high total return consistent with a broad
diversified mix of stocks, bonds and money market instruments.

30
<PAGE> 32

Equity Growth Series: To provide a high level of capital appreciation
through investment in a diversified portfolio of common stocks with potential
for above-average growth in earnings; current income is a secondary objective.

There can, of course, be no assurance that any series of Diversified
Investors Portfolios will achieve its investment objectives.

CARE/FEEDER STRUCTURE

MONY and Diversified Investors Portfolios have licensed certain proprietary
rights, know-how and financial services referred to as Hub and Spoke(R) from
Signature Financial Group, Inc. ("Signature"). Each Subaccount which invests in
Diversified Investors Portfolios (the care/feeder fund) invests in a
corresponding series of Diversified Investors Portfolios (the care or master
fund) through Signature's Hub and Spoke(R) method. Hub and Spoke(R) employs a
two-tier, master/feeder fund structure. Hub and Spoke is a registered service
mark of Signature.

In addition to selling beneficial interests to such Subaccounts,
Diversified Investors Portfolios may sell beneficial interests of its series to
other insurance company separate accounts, mutual funds, collective investment
vehicles or institutional investors. Such investors will invest in a series of
Diversified Investors Portfolios on the same terms and conditions as the
applicable Subaccount and will pay a proportionate share of the Series'
expenses. However, the other investors investing in such series are not required
to sell their shares at the same public offering price as the Subaccount due to
variations in sales commissions and other operating expenses. Therefore,
Contractholders should be aware that these differences may result in differences
in returns experienced by investors in the different entities that invest in
each series of Diversified Investors Portfolios.

Smaller entities investing in a series of Diversified Investors Portfolios
may be materially affected by the actions of larger entities investing in that
series. For example, if a large fund withdraws from a series of Diversified
Investors Portfolios, the remaining investors may experience higher pro rata
operating expenses, thereby producing lower returns. Additionally, the affected
series may become less diverse, resulting in increased portfolio risk. (However,
this possibility also exists for any type of collective investment vehicle which
has institutional or other large investors.) Also, investors with a greater pro
rata ownership in a series of Diversified Investors Portfolios could have
effective voting control of the operations of that series. Whenever a Subaccount
is requested to vote on matters pertaining to a series of the Diversified
Investors Portfolios (other than a vote to continue a series upon the withdrawal
of an investor in the series), MONY, as the legal owner of all assets in the
Subaccount, shall vote in accordance with the procedures set forth under "Voting
Rights" at page 23, including, to the extent required by law, procedures through
which MONY shall receive instructions with respect to such vote from
Contractholders and/or Participants. Certain changes in the investment
objectives, policies or restrictions of a series of Diversified Investors
Portfolios may require that MONY withdraw a Subaccount's interest in that
series. Any such withdrawal could result in a distribution "in kind" of
portfolio securities (as opposed to a cash distribution from the series). If
securities are distributed, the Subaccount could incur brokerage or other
charges in converting the securities to cash. In addition, the distribution in
kind may result in a less diversified portfolio of investments or adversely
affect the liquidity of the Subaccount. Notwithstanding the above, there are
other ways for Diversified Investors Portfolios to meet redemption requests from
its investors, such as temporary borrowings.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

Each of the Subaccounts described above seeks to achieve its investment
objective by investing all of its assets in a corresponding series of
Diversified Investors Portfolios, which is a diversified, open-end management
investment company. The investment objective of each series of Diversified
Investors Portfolios may be changed without the approval of the investors in
that series, but not without written notice thereof to its investors (including
a Subaccount) 30 days prior to implementing the change.

31
<PAGE> 33

MONY may withdraw the investment of a Subaccount from its corresponding series
of Diversified Investors Portfolios on any Portfolio Business Day (see page 46).
Upon any such withdrawal, MONY would consider what action might be taken,
including the investment of all the assets of the Subaccount in another pooled
investment entity having the same investment objective.

Each series of Diversified Investors Portfolios has a different investment
objective which it pursues through the investment policies described below.
Since each series of Diversified Investors Portfolios has a different investment
objective, each can be expected to have different investment results and be
subject to different market and financial risks. See "Investment Techniques and
Restrictions" herein and in the Statement of Additional Information for a
description of the fundamental policies of each series of Diversified Investors
Portfolios that cannot be changed without approval by the holders of a "majority
of the outstanding voting securities" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of such
series. Except as stated otherwise, all investment guidelines, policies and
restrictions of each series described herein and in the Statement of Additional
Information are non-fundamental.

Each series of Diversified Investors Portfolios has a different portfolio
turnover rate which is the percentage computed by dividing the lesser of
portfolio purchases or sales by the average value of the series in each case
excluding securities with maturities at the time of acquisition of one year or
less. Brokerage expenses can be expected to be higher as a result of higher
portfolio turnover rates. The rate of portfolio turnover is not a limiting
factor when it is deemed appropriate to purchase or sell securities of a series.

With respect to each series of Diversified Investors Portfolios,
Diversified has contracted for certain investment advisory services with one or
more subadvisers. Diversified and the subadviser(s) for a particular series of
Diversified Investors Portfolios are referred to herein collectively as the
"Advisers". There can be no guarantee that the investment objective of any of
the series of Diversified Investors Portfolios will be met. The following
sections describe the investment objective and policies of each series of
Diversified Investors Portfolio currently available under the Contracts through
Subaccounts.

MONEY MARKET SERIES. The investment objective of the Money Market Series
is to provide liquidity and as high a level of current income as is consistent
with the preservation of capital. The Money Market Series invests in high
quality short-term money market instruments. Securities in which the Money
Market Series invests may not earn as high a level of current income as
long-term or lower quality securities which generally have less liquidity,
greater market risk and more fluctuation in market value.

To achieve its investment objective, the Money Market Series invests in
U.S. dollar-denominated short-term money market obligations, including
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or
instrumentalities, certificates of deposit, time deposits, bankers' acceptances
and other short-term obligations issued by domestic banks and domestic branches
and subsidiaries of foreign banks, and high quality commercial paper and other
short-term corporate obligations, including those with floating or variable
rates of interest. In addition, the Money Market Series may lend its portfolio
securities, enter into repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements,
and invest in securities issued by foreign banks and corporations outside the
United States. The Money Market Series reserves the right to concentrate 25% or
more of its total assets in obligations of banks.

In accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Money Market Series
will maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less,
purchase only instruments having remaining maturities of 397 days or less and
invest only in U.S. dollar-denominated securities determined in accordance with
procedures established by the Board of Trustees of Diversified Investors
Portfolios (the "Board of Trustees") to present minimal credit risks and which
are rated in one of the two highest rating categories for debt obligations by at
least two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (an "NRSRO")
(or one NRSRO if the instrument was rated by only one such organization) or, if
unrated, are of comparable quality as determined in accordance with procedures
established by the Board of Trustees (collectively, "Eligible Securities").

Eligible Securities include "First Tier Securities" and "Second Tier
Securities." First Tier Securities include those that possess a rating in the
highest category in the case of a single-rated security or at

32
<PAGE> 34

least two ratings in the highest rating category in the case of multiple-rated
securities or, if the securities do not possess a rating, are determined to be
of comparable quality by the Advisers pursuant to the guidelines adopted by the
Board of Trustees. All other Eligible Securities are Second Tier Securities. The
Money Market Series will invest at least 95% of its total assets in First Tier
Securities.

The NRSROs currently rating instruments of the type the Money Market Series
may purchase are Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), Standard & Poor's
Corporation ("S&P"), Duff & Phelps, Inc., Fitch Investors Service, Inc., IBCA
Limited, IBCA Inc. and Thomson BankWatch, Inc., and their rating criteria are
described in the Appendix to the Statement of Additional Information. The
Statement of Additional Information contains further information concerning the
rating criteria and other requirements governing the Money Market Series'
investments, including information relating tothe treatment of securities
subject to a tender or demand feature and securities deemed to possess a rating
based on comparable rated securities of the same issuer.

In addition, the Money Market Series will not invest more than 5% of its
total assets in the securities (including the securities collateralizing a
repurchase agreement) of, or subject to puts (including letters of credit,
guaranties or other credit support) issued by, a single issuer, except that (i)
the Money Market Series may invest more than 5% of its total assets in a single
issuer for a period of up to three business days in certain limited
circumstances, (ii) the Money Market Series may invest in obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government without any such limitation, and (iii) the
limitation with respect to puts does not apply to unconditional puts if no more
than 10% of the Money Market Series' total assets is invested in securities
issued or guaranteed by the issuer of the unconditional put. Investments in
Second Tier Securities will be limited to 5% of the Money Market Series' total
assets, with the investment in any one such issuer being limited to no more than
the greater of 1% of the Money Market Series' total assets or $1,000,000. As to
each security, these percentages are measured at the time the Money Market
Series purchases the security.

The Money Market Series seeks to achieve its investment objective through
investments in the following types of U.S. dollar-denominated money market
instruments.

BANK OBLIGATIONS. The Money Market Series may invest in U.S.
dollar-denominated certificates of deposit, time deposits, bankers'
acceptances and other short-term obligations issued by banks. Certificates
of deposit are certificates evidencing the obligation of a bank to repay
funds deposited with it for a specified period of time. Such instruments
include Yankee Certificates of Deposit, which are certificates of deposit
denominated in U.S. dollars and issued in the United States by the domestic
branch of a foreign bank. Time deposits are non-negotiable deposits
maintained in a banking institution for a specified period of time at a
stated interest rate. Time deposits which may be held by the Money Market
Series are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other agency of the U.S. Government. The Money Market Series will not
invest more than 10% of the value of its net assets in time deposits
maturing in longer than seven days and other instruments which are illiquid
or not readily marketable. The Money Market Series may also invest in
certificates of deposit and time deposits issued by foreign banks outside
the United States.

The Money Market Series may also invest in bankers' acceptances and other
short-term obligations. Bankers' acceptances are credit instruments
evidencing the obligation of a bank to pay a draft drawn on it by a
customer. These instruments reflect the obligation both of the bank and of
the drawer to pay the face amount of the instrument upon maturity. The
other short-term obligations may include uninsured, direct obligations
which have either fixed, floating or variable interest rates.

To the extent the Money Market Series' investments are concentrated in the
banking industry, the Money Market Series will have correspondingly greater
exposure to the risk factors which are characteristic of such investments.
Sustained increases in interest rates can adversely affect the availability
or liquidity and cost of capital funds for a bank's lending activities, and
a deterioration in general economic conditions could increase the exposure
to credit losses. In addition, the value of and the investment return on
investments in the Money Market Series could be affected by economic or
regulatory developments in or related to the banking industry, which
industry also is subject to the effects of the concentration of loan
portfolios in leveraged transactions and in

33
<PAGE> 35

particular businesses, and competition within the banking industry, as well
as with other types of financial institutions. The Money Market Series,
however, will seek to minimize its exposure to such risks by investing only
in debt securities which are determined to be of high quality.

U.S. GOVERNMENT AND AGENCY SECURITIES. Securities issued or guaranteed by
the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities include U.S.
Treasury securities, which differ only in their interest rates, maturities
and times of issuance. Treasury Bills have initial maturities of one year
or less; Treasury Notes have initial maturities of one to ten years; and
Treasury Bonds generally have initial maturities of greater than ten years.
Some obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies and
instrumentalities, for example, Government National Mortgage Association
pass-through certificates, are supported by the full faith and credit of
the U.S. Treasury; others, such as those of the Federal Home Loan Banks, by
the right of the issuer to borrow from the Treasury; others, such as those
issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association, by discretionary
authority of the U.S. Government to purchase certain obligations of the
agency or instrumentality; and others, such as those issued by the Student
Loan Marketing Association, only by the credit of the agency or
instrumentality. While the U.S. Government provides financial support to
such U.S. Government-sponsored agencies or instrumentalities, no assurance
can be given that it will always do so, since it is not so obligated by
law. The Money Market Series will invest in such securities only when the
Advisers are satisfied that the credit risk with respect to the issuer is
minimal. The Money Market Series itself, and its share price and yield, are
not guaranteed by the U.S. Government. For additional information on U.S.
Government securities, see "Diversified Investors Portfolios" in the
Statement of Additional Information.

COMMERCIAL PAPER. Commercial paper consists of short-term, unsecured
promissory notes issued to finance short-term credit needs. The commercial
paper purchased by the Money Market Series will consist only of U.S.
dollar-denominated direct obligations issued by domestic and foreign
entities. The other corporate obligations in which the Money Market Series
may invest consist of high quality, U.S. dollar-denominated short-term
bonds and notes issued by domestic corporations.

The Money Market Series may invest in commercial paper issued by major
corporations in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by
Section 3(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act").
Such commercial paper may be issued only to finance current transactions
and must mature in nine months or less. Trading of such commercial paper is
conducted primarily by institutional investors through investment dealers,
and individual investor participation in the commercial paper market is
very limited.

UNSECURED PROMISSORY NOTES. The Money Market Series also may purchase
unsecured promissory notes ("Notes") which are not readily marketable and
have not been registered under the 1933 Act, provided such investments are
consistent with the Money Market Series' investment objective. The Notes
purchased by the Money Market Series will have remaining maturities of 13
months or less and will be deemed by the Board of Trustees of Diversified
Investors Portfolios, or by the Advisers on its behalf, to present minimal
credit risks and will meet the quality criteria set forth above. The Money
Market Series will invest no more than 10% of its net assets in such Notes
and in other securities that are not readily marketable (which securities
would include floating and variable rate demand obligations as to which the
Money Market Series cannot exercise the demand feature described in the
Statement of Additional Information and as to which there is no secondary
market).

RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The Money Market Series may invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities may be illiquid and, thus, the Money Market Series may not
purchase them to the extent that more than 10% of the value of its net
assets would be invested in illiquid securities. However, if a substantial
market of qualified institutional buyers develops pursuant to Rule 144A
under the 1933 Act for such securities held by the Money Market Series, the
Money Market Series intends to treat such securities as liquid securities
in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of
Diversified Investors Portfolios. To the extent that for a period of time,
qualified institutional buyers cease purchasing such restricted

34
<PAGE> 36

securities pursuant to Rule 144A, the Money Market Series' investing in
such securities may have the effect of increasing the level of illiquidity
in the Money Market Series during such period.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Repurchase
agreements involve the acquisition by the Money Market Series of an
underlying debt instrument subject to an obligation of the seller to
repurchase, and the Money Market Series to resell, the instrument at a
fixed price, usually not more than one week after its purchase. The Money
Market Series or a sub-custodian will have custody of securities acquired
by the Money Market Series under a repurchase agreement.

Repurchase agreements may be entered into for the Series with sellers which
are usually member banks of the Federal Reserve System or member firms of
the New York Stock Exchange (or a subsidiary thereof). Such transactions
afford an opportunity for the Series to earn a return on available cash
with minimal market risk. Certain costs may be incurred by the Money Market
Series in connection with the sale of the securities if the seller does not
repurchase them in accordance with the repurchase agreement. In addition,
if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the
securities, realization on the securities by the Money Market Series may be
delayed or limited. The Money Market Series will consider on an ongoing
basis the creditworthiness of the institutions with which it enters into
repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are considered collateralized
loans under the 1940 Act.

The Money Market Series may borrow funds for temporary or emergency
purposes, such as meeting larger than anticipated redemption requests, and not
for leverage. One means of borrowing is by agreeing to sell portfolio securities
to financial institutions such as banks and broker-dealers and to repurchase
them at a mutually agreed date and price (a "reverse repurchase agreement"). At
the time the Money Market Series enters into a reverse repurchase agreement it
will place in a segregated custodial account cash, U.S. Government securities or
high-grade debt obligations having a value equal to the repurchase price,
including accrued interest. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that
the market value of the securities sold by the Money Market Series may decline
below the repurchase price of those securities.

FOREIGN SECURITIES. The Money Market Series may invest in U.S.
dollar-denominated foreign securities issued outside the United States,
such as obligations of foreign branches and subsidiaries of domestic banks
and foreign banks, including Eurodollar certificates of deposit, Eurodollar
time deposits and Canadian time deposits, commercial paper of Canadian and
other foreign issuers, and U.S. dollar-denominated obligations issued or
guaranteed by one or more foreign governments or any of their agencies or
instrumentalities. Foreign securities may represent a greater degree of
risk than do securities of domestic issuers due to possible exchange rate
fluctuations, possible exchange controls, less publicly available
information, more volatile markets, less securities regulation, less
favorable tax provisions (including possible withholding taxes), changes in
governmental administration or economic or monetary policy (in the United
States or abroad), war or expropriation. For a complete description of
foreign securities the Money Market Series may purchase, see "Diversified
Investors Portfolios -- Investment Policies" in the Statement of Additional
Information.

CERTAIN OTHER OBLIGATIONS. In order to allow for investments in new
instruments that may be created in the future, upon MONY supplementing this
Prospectus, the Money Market Series may invest in obligations other than
those listed previously, provided such investments are consistent with the
investment objective, policies and restrictions of the Money Market Series.

The Statement of Additional Information includes a discussion of additional
investment techniques such as zero coupon obligations, variable rate and
floating rate securities, participation interests, guaranteed investment
contracts and when-issued and forward commitment securities. The Statement
of Additional Information also includes a discussion of non-fundamental
investment policies, as well as a listing of specific investment
restrictions which constitute fundamental policies of the Money Market
Series and which cannot be changed without the approval of the holders of a
"majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as defined in the 1940
Act) of the

35

Money Market Series. See "Diversified Investors Portfolios -- Investment
Restrictions" in the Statement of Additional Information.

INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT BOND SERIES. The investment objective of the
Intermediate Government Bond Series is to provide as high a level of current
income as is consistent with the preservation of capital. The yield of the
Intermediate Government Bond Fund Series normally is expected to be higher than
a money market fund but lower than a longer-term or lower quality bond fund. The
Intermediate Government Bond Series pursues its investment objective by
investing in U.S. Government obligations and high quality short-term obligations
(including repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements).

The Advisers attempt to maintain the Intermediate Government Bond Series'
"duration" between one and five years, which means that the Intermediate
Government Bond Fund Series' overall sensitivity to interest rates should be
similar to that of bonds and notes with remaining average maturities from one to
five years. The Intermediate Government Bond Series' dollar-weighted average
maturity (or dollar-weighted average life in the case of mortgage-backed
securities) may be longer than four years from time to time, but will not exceed
ten years under normal conditions. The Intermediate Government Bond Series may
hold individual securities with remaining maturities of up to thirty years.

Since the value of fixed income securities generally fluctuates inversely
with changes in interest rates, the duration of the Intermediate Government Bond
Series will vary to reflect the Advisers' assessments of prospective changes in
interest rates. The Advisers' strategy will be to adjust the duration of the
Intermediate Government Bond Fund Series so that the Intermediate Government
Bond Series may benefit from relative price appreciation when interest rates
decline and may protect capital value when interest rates rise. The success of
this strategy will depend on the Advisers' ability to manage the Intermediate
Government Bond Fund Series through changes in interest rates, and there is a
risk that the value of the securities held by the Intermediate Government Bond
Series will decline.

The following is a discussion of the various investments of and techniques
employed by the Intermediate Government Bond Series. Additional information
about the investment policies of the Intermediate Government Bond Series appears
under "Diversified Investors Portfolios" in the Statement of Additional
Information.

U.S. GOVERNMENT AND AGENCY SECURITIES. The Intermediate Government Bond
Series may invest in U.S. Government securities. See "U.S. Government and
Agency Securities" above under Money Market Series.

The Intermediate Government Bond Series may invest a portion of its assets
in short-term U.S. Government securities with remaining maturities of one
year or less and repurchase agreements relating thereto. When the Advisers
believe market conditions warrant a temporary defensive position, the
Intermediate Government Bond Series may invest up to 100% of its assets in
these instruments.

SHORT-TERM INSTRUMENTS. Cash, commercial paper, short-term obligations,
repurchase agreements or other forms of debt securities may be held to
provide a reserve for future purchases of securities during periods of
unusual market conditions or in order to reduce volatility, or as a
temporary defensive measure when the Advisers determine securities markets
to be overvalued. The Intermediate Government Bond Series limits its
short-term investments to those U.S. dollar-denominated instruments which
are determined by or on behalf of the Board of Trustees to present minimal
credit risks and which are of "high quality" as determined by a major
rating service or, in the case of instruments which are not rated, are of
comparable quality pursuant to procedures established by the Board of
Trustees. Investments in high quality short-term instruments may, in many
circumstances, result in a lower yield than would be available from
investments in instruments with a lower quality or longer term.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Repurchase
agreements and reverse repurchase agreements may be entered into for the
Intermediate Government Bond Series. See "Repurchase Agreements and Reverse
Repurchase Agreements" under Money Market Series.

36
<PAGE> 38

The Intermediate Government Bond Series may borrow funds for temporary or
emergency purposes, such as meeting larger than anticipated redemption
requests, and not for leverage.

RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The Intermediate Government Bond Series may not
invest more than 15% of its net assets in securities that are subject to
legal or contractual restrictions on resale unless a dealer or
institutional trading market in such securities exists, in which case such
restricted securities would be considered exempt from such 15% limit. Under
the supervision of the Board of Trustees, the Advisers determine the
liquidity of restricted securities and, through reports from the Advisers,
the Board of Trustees will monitor trading activity in restricted
securities. Because Rule 144A is relatively new, it is not possible to
predict how these markets will develop. If institutional trading in
restricted securities were to decline, the liquidity of the Intermediate
Government Bond Series could be adversely affected. See "Restricted
Securities" above under Money Market Series.

OPTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS. The Intermediate Government Bond Series may
buy and sell options and futures contracts to manage its exposure to
changing interest rates and securities prices. Some options and futures
strategies, including selling futures, buying puts, and writing calls,
hedge the Intermediate Government Bond Series' investments against price
fluctuations. Other strategies, including buying futures, writing puts and
buying calls, tend to increase market exposure. The Intermediate Government
Bond Series may invest in options (including over-the-counter options) and
futures contracts based on any type of security or index related to its
investments.

Options and futures can be volatile investments, and involve certain risks.
If the Advisers apply a hedge at an inappropriate time or judge interest
rates incorrectly, options and futures strategies may lower the
Intermediate Government Bond Series' return. The costs of hedging are not
reflected in the Intermediate Government Bond Series' yield but are
reflected in the Intermediate Government Bond Series' total return. The
Intermediate Government Bond Series' could also experience losses if its
options and futures positions were poorly correlated with its other
investments, or if it could not close out its positions because of an
illiquid secondary market.

The Intermediate Government Bond Series currently does not intend to engage
in the writing of options, except for the purpose of terminating an
existing position or under the limited circumstances described under
"Diversified Investors Portfolios" in the Statement of Additional
Information. Nevertheless, the Intermediate Government Bond Series has the
authority to write options and may do so in the future if the Advisers
determine that such transactions are in the best interests of the
Intermediate Government Bond Series.

DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. In order to help ensure the availability of
suitable securities for the Intermediate Government Bond Series, the
Advisers may purchase securities for the Intermediate Government Bond
Series on a "when-issued" or on a "forward delivery" basis, which means
that the obligations would be delivered to the Intermediate Government Bond
Series at a future date beyond customary settlement time. Under normal
circumstances, the Intermediate Government Bond Series would take delivery
of such securities. In general, the Intermediate Government Bond Series
would not pay for the securities until they are received, and would not
start earning interest on the obligations until the contractual settlement
date. While awaiting delivery of the obligations purchased on such basis,
the Intermediate Government Bond Series would establish a segregated
account consisting of cash, cash equivalents or high grade liquid debt
securities equal to the amount of its commitments to purchase "when-issued"
securities. An increase in the percentage of the Intermediate Government
Bond Series' assets committed to the purchase of securities on a
"when-issued" basis may increase the volatility of its net asset value.

OTHER INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES. The Intermediate Government
Bond Series may also utilize the following investments and investment
techniques and practices: investments in foreign securities, options on
futures contracts, foreign currency exchange transactions, options on
foreign currencies. The Intermediate Government Bond Series does not intend
to utilize any of these investment practices to the extent of more than 5%
of its assets. See "Diversified Investors Portfolios" in the Statement of
Additional Information for further information.

GOVERNMENT/CORPORATE BOND SERIES. The investment objective of the
Government/Corporate Bond Series is to achieve the maximum total return. The
Government/Corporate Bond Series' yield normally is expected to be higher than a
money market fund but lower than a longer-term or lower quality bond fund. The
Government/Corporate Bond Series pursues its investment objective by investing
in investment grade debt securities, U.S. Government obligations, including U.S.
Government agency and instrumentality obligations and collateralized mortgage
obligations guaranteed by these agencies and high quality short-term obligations
(including repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements). At least
65% of the Series' assets is invested in U.S. Government securities, corporate
bonds and short-term instruments.

The Advisers attempt to maintain the Government/Corporate Bond Series'
"duration" between three and ten years, which means that the
Government/Corporate Bond Series' overall sensitivity to interest rates should
be slightly more then that of bonds and notes with remaining average maturities
from three to fifteen years. The Government/Corporate Bond Government/Corporate
Bond Series' dollar-weighted average maturity (or dollar-weighted average life
in the case of mortgage-backed securities) may be longer than fifteen years from
time to time, but will not exceed thirty years under normal conditions.

Since the value of fixed income securities generally fluctuates inversely
with changes in interest rates, the duration of the Government/Corporate Bond
Series will vary to reflect the Advisers' assessments of prospective changes in
interest rates. The Advisers' strategy will be to adjust the duration of the
Government/Corporate Bond Series so that the Government/Corporate Bond Series
may benefit from relative price appreciation when interest rates decline and may
protect capital value when interest rates rise. The success of this strategy
will depend on the Advisers' ability to manage the Government/Corporate Bond
Series through changes in interest rates, and there is a risk that the value of
the securities held by the Government/Corporate Bond Series will decline.

The following is a discussion of the various investments of and techniques
employed by the Government/Corporate Bond Series. Additional information about
the investment policies of the Government/Corporate Bond Series appears under
"Diversified Investors Portfolios" in the Statement of Additional Information.

U.S. GOVERNMENT AND AGENCY SECURITIES. The Government/Corporate Bond
Series may invest in U.S. Government securities. See "U.S. Government and
Agency Securities" above under Money Market Series.

The Government/Corporate Bond Series may invest a portion of its assets in
short-term U.S. Government securities with remaining maturities of one year
or less and repurchase agreements relating thereto. When the Advisers
believe market conditions warrant a temporary defensive position, the
Government/Corporate Bond Series may invest up to 100% of its assets in
these instruments.

CORPORATE BONDS. The Government/Corporate Bond Series may purchase debt
securities of United States corporations only if they carry a rating of at
least Baa from Moody's or BBB from S&P or which, if not rated by these
rating agencies, are judged by the Advisers to be of comparable quality.
Securities rated Baa by Moody's or BBB by S&P may have speculative
characteristics. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are
more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to make principal and interest
payments than is the case for higher grade securities. See the Appendix to
the Statement of Additional Information for an explanation of these
ratings.

FOREIGN SECURITIES. The Government/Corporate Bond Series may invest in
securities of foreign issuers. The Government/Corporate Bond Series'
investments in unlisted foreign securities are subject to the overall
restrictions applicable to investments in illiquid securities. Foreign
securities may represent a greater degree of risk than do securities of
domestic issuers due to possible exchange rate fluctuations, possible
exchange controls, less publicly available information, more volatile
markets, less securities regulation, less favorable tax provisions
(including possible withholding taxes), changes in governmental
administration or economic or monetary policy (in the United States or
abroad), war or expropriation. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts

38
<PAGE> 40

may also be entered into for the purchase or sale of foreign currency
solely for hedging purposes against adverse rate changes. A currency
exchange contract allows a definite price in dollars to be fixed for
foreign securities that have been purchased or sold (but not settled) for
the Government/Corporate Bond Series. Entering into such exchange contracts
may result in the loss of all or a portion of the benefits which otherwise
could have been obtained from favorable movements in exchange rates. In
addition, entering into such contracts means incurring certain transaction
costs and bearing the risks of incurring losses if rates do not move in the
direction anticipated.

SHORT-TERM INSTRUMENTS. Cash, commercial paper, short-term obligations,
repurchase agreements, bank certificates of deposit or other forms of debt
securities may be held to provide a reserve for future purchases of
securities, during periods of unusual market conditions or in order to
reduce volatility, or as a temporary defensive measure when the Advisers
determine securities markets to be overvalued. See "Short-Term Instruments"
above under Intermediate Government Bond Series.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The
Government/Corporate Bond Series may enter into repurchase agreements and
reverse repurchase agreements. See "Repurchase Agreements and Reverse
Repurchase Agreements" above under Money Market Series. The
Government/Corporate Bond Series may borrow Funds for temporary or
emergency purposes, such as meeting larger then anticipated redemption
requests, and not for leverage.

RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The Government/Corporate Bond Series may not invest
more than 15% of its net assets in securities that are subject to legal or
contractual restrictions on resale. See "Restricted Securities" above under
Money Market Series.

OPTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS. The Government/Corporate Bond Series may
buy and sell options and futures contracts to manage its exposure to
changing interest rates and securities prices. See "Options and Futures
Contracts" above under Intermediate Government Bond Series.

The Government/Corporate Bond Series currently does not intend to engage in
the writing of options, except for the purpose of terminating an existing
position or under the limited circumstances described in the Statement of
Additional Information. Nevertheless, the Government/Corporate Bond Series
has the authority to write options and may do so in the future if the
Advisers determine that such transactions are in the best interests of the
Government/Corporate Bond Series.

DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. In order to help ensure the availability of
suitable securities for the Government/Corporate Bond Series, the Advisers
may purchase securities for the Government/Corporate Bond Series on a
"when-issued" or on a "forward delivery" basis, which means that the
Securities would be delivered to the Government/Corporate Bond Series at a
future date beyond customary settlement times. See "Delayed Delivery
Transactions" above under Intermediate Government Bond Series.

OTHER INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES. The Government/Corporate Bond
Series may also utilize the following investments and investment techniques
and practices: options on futures contracts and options on foreign
currencies. The Government/Corporate Bond Series does not intend to utilize
any of these investments or techniques to the extent of more than 5% of its
assets. See the Statement of Additional Information for further
information.

BALANCED SERIES. The investment objective of the Balanced Series is to
provide a high total investment return consistent with a broad diversified mix
of stocks, bonds and money market instruments. The Balanced Series pursues its
investment objective by investing in a managed mix of common stocks (and/or
equivalents including American Depository Receipts), preferred stocks, debt
securities of U.S. domiciled corporations, U.S. government securities,
commercial paper of U.S. corporations, and bank obligations. The Advisers will
determine the proportions of each type of investment to achieve an asset mix
they believe appropriate for an investor who desires diversification of
investment. The Balanced Series will vary the proportion of each type of asset
purchased according to the Advisers' interpretations of changes in economic
conditions and the sensitivity of each type of investment to those changes. The
Advisers seek to shift emphasis among stocks, bonds and short-term

39
<PAGE> 41

instruments to maximize participation in positive markets and preservation of
capital in negative markets and otherwise in response to market conditions.

The Balanced Series policy is to invest its assets in a broad list of
equity and fixed income securities, such as common stocks, preferred stocks and
bonds, including short-term obligations. The list may be diversified not only by
companies and industries, but also by type of security. Some fixed income
securities may also have a right to purchase common stock by means of a
conversion privilege or attached warrants. The Balanced Series may vary the
percentage of assets invested in any one type of security in accordance with the
Advisers' interpretation of economic and market conditions, fiscal and monetary
policy, and underlying securities values. However, at least 25% of the total
assets of the Balanced Series are always invested in fixed income senior
securities including debt securities and preferred stock. In selecting common
stocks, emphasis is placed on investing in established companies with market
capitalizations of $100,000,000 or more and seasoned management teams. Most of
the Balanced Series' non-convertible long-term debt investments consist of
"investment grade" securities (rated Baa or better by Moody's or BBB or better
by S&P), although unrated debt securities may be purchased and held if they are
judged by the Advisers to be of equivalent quality. Securities rated Baa by
Moody's or BBB by S&P may have speculative characteristics. Changes in economic
conditions or other circumstances may weaken more severely the capacity of
issuers of Baa or BBB securities to make principal and interest payments than in
the case for issuers of higher grade bonds. Less than 5% of the Balanced Series
investments consist of securities rated Baa by Moody's or BBB by S&P. For a
description of these ratings, see the Appendix to the Statement of Additional
Information.

The Balanced Series may invest a portion of its assets in short-term U.S.
Government securities with remaining maturities of one year or less and
repurchase agreements relating thereto. When the Advisers believe market
conditions warrant a temporary defensive position, the Balanced Series may
invest up to 100% of its assets in these instruments or other money market
instruments.

EQUITY INCOME SERIES. The investment objective of the Equity Income Series
is to provide a high level of current income through investment in a diversified
portfolio of common stocks with relatively high current yields; capital
appreciation is a secondary objective. The Equity Income Series seeks to achieve
its investment objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of
stocks of companies which, in the opinion of the Advisers, are fundamentally
sound financially and which pay relatively high dividends on a consistent basis.
The Advisers attempt to manage the Equity Income Series so that it will
out-perform other equity income funds in negative markets. As a result of this
objective, the Equity Income Series may underperform relative to other equity
income funds in positive markets. The Equity Income Series invests primarily in
common stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange and on other national
securities exchanges and, to a lesser extent, in stocks that are traded
over-the-counter. The Equity Income Series also invests in bonds and short-term
obligations as well as securities convertible into common stocks, preferred
stocks, debt securities and short-term obligations. The Equity Income Series
allocates its investments among different industries and companies, and changes
its portfolio securities for investment considerations and not for trading
purposes.

The Equity Income Series' policy is to invest in a broad list of equity and
fixed income securities, including short-term obligations. The list may be
diversified not only by companies and industries, but also by type of security.
Some fixed income securities may also have a call on common stock by means of a
conversion privilege or attached warrants. The Equity Income Series may vary the
percentage of assets invested in any one type of security in accordance with the
Advisers' interpretation of economic and market conditions, fiscal and monetary
policy, and underlying security values. It is contemplated that most of the
Equity Income Series' non-convertible long-term debt investments will consist of
"investment grade" securities (rated Baa or better by Moody's or BBB or better
by S&P). However, the Equity Income Series may also invest not more than 25% of
its assets in fixed income securities which either are rated in lower than
"investment grade" categories by either Moody's or S&P or are unrated when, in
the opinion of the Advisers, such an investment presents a greater opportunity
to achieve the Equity Income Series' investment objective with comparable risk
to an investment in "investment grade" securities. Securities rated Baa by
Moody's or BBB by S&P may have speculative risk characteristics.

40
<PAGE> 42

Non-Investment Grade Obligations. Non-investment grade obligations (those
that are rated Ba or lower by Moody's or BB or lower by S&P or comparable
unrated obligations), commonly referred to as "junk bonds", are speculative in
nature. Risks associated with junk bonds are (a) the relative youth and growth
of the market for such securities, (b) the sensitivity of such securities to
interest rate and economic changes, (c) the lower degree of protection of
principal and interest payments, (d) the relatively low trading market liquidity
for the securities, (e) the impact that legislation may have on the high yield
bond market (and, in turn, on the Equity Income Series' net asset value and
investment practices), and (f) the creditworthiness of the issuers of such
securities. During an economic downturn or substantial period of rising interest
rates, highly leveraged issuers may experience financial stress which would
adversely affect their ability to service their principal and interest payment
obligations, to meet projected business goals and to obtain additional
financing. An economic downturn could also disrupt the market for junk bonds and
adversely effect the value of outstanding bonds and the ability of the issuers
to repay principal and interest. If the issuer of a debt obligation held by the
Equity Income Series defaulted, the Equity Income Series could incur additional
expenses to seek recovery. Adverse publicity and investor perceptions, whether
or not based on fundamental analysis, may also decrease the values and liquidity
of junk bonds held by the Equity Income Series, especially in a thinly traded
market. For a description of ratings of debt obligations which may be purchased
by the Equity Income Series, see the Appendix to the Statement of Additional
Information.

EQUITY GROWTH SERIES. The investment objective of the Equity Growth Series
is to provide a high level of capital appreciation through investment in a
diversified portfolio of common stocks with potential for above average growth
in earnings and dividends; current income is a secondary objective. The Equity
Income seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in a
diversified portfolio of common stocks, but may also invest in other types of
securities such as preferred stocks, convertible and non-convertible bonds,
warrants and foreign securities including American Depository Receipts. Under
normal circumstances, at least 65% of the assets of the Equity Income are
invested in equity securities. This is a fundamental investment policy and may
not be changed without investor approval. The Equity Growth Series invests
primarily in stocks of companies that have a market value of all their issued
and outstanding common stock of $10 to $15 billion and preferred stocks and
common stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange and on other national
securities exchanges and, to a lesser extent, in stocks that are traded
over-the-counter. The Equity Growth Series also invests in bonds and short-term
obligations as well as securities convertible into common stocks, preferred
stocks, debt securities and short-term obligations. The Equity Growth Series
allocates its investments among different industries and companies, and changes
its portfolio securities for investment considerations and not for trading
purposes.

The Equity Growth Series' policy is to invest in a broad list of equity and
fixed income securities, including short-term obligations. The list may be
diversified not only by companies and industries, but also by type of security.
Some fixed income securities may also have a call on common stock by means of a
conversion privilege or attached warrants. The Equity Growth Series may vary the
percentage of assets invested in any one type of security in accordance with the
Adviser's interpretation of economic and market conditions, fiscal and monetary
policy, and underlying security values. It is contemplated that most of the
Equity Growth Series' non-convertible long-term debt investments will consist of
"investment grade" securities (rated Baa or better by Moody's or BBB or better
by S&P). However, the Equity Growth Series may also invest not more than 25% of
its assets in fixed income securities which either are rated in lower than
"investment grade" categories by either Moody's or S&P or are unrated when, in
the opinion of the Adviser, such an investment presents a greater opportunity to
achieve the Equity Growth Series' investment objective with comparable risk to
an investment in "investment grade" securities. Such lower rated or unrated
fixed income securities have speculative risk characteristics. See
"Non-Investment Grade Obligations" above under Equity Income Series.

INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES AND RESTRICTIONS

INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES FOR THE BALANCED SERIES, EQUITY INCOME SERIES AND EQUITY
GROWTH SERIES (COLLECTIVELY, THE "SERIES").

Foreign Securities. Each Series' current policy is not to invest more than
25% of its assets in securities of foreign issuers, including investments in
sponsored American Depository Receipts ("ADRs"). ADRs are receipts typically
issued by an American bank or trust company evidencing ownership of the
underlying foreign securities. Each Series' investments in unlisted foreign
securities, not including ADRs, are subject to the overall restrictions
applicable to investments in illiquid securities. Foreign securities, including
ADRs, may represent a greater degree of risk than do securities of domestic
issuers due to possible exchange rate fluctuations, possible exchange controls,
less publicly available information, more volatile markets, less securities
regulation, less favorable tax provisions (including possible withholding
taxes), changes in governmental administration or economic or monetary policy
(in the United States or abroad), war or expropriation. Each Series may invest
up to 5% of its assets in closed-end investment companies which primarily hold
foreign securities. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts may also be
entered into for the purchase or sale of foreign currency solely for hedging
purposes against adverse rate changes. A currency exchange contract allows a
definite price in dollars to be fixed for foreign securities that have been
purchased or sold (but not settled) for each Series. Entering into such exchange
contracts may result in the loss of all or a portion of the benefits which
otherwise could have been obtained from favorable movements in exchange rates.
In addition, entering into such contracts means incurring certain transaction
costs and bearing the risk of incurring losses if rates do not move in the
direction anticipated.

Options and Futures Contracts. Each Series may enter into transactions in
futures contracts, options on futures contracts, options on securities indexes
and options on securities, for the purpose of hedging each Series' securities,
which would have the effect of reducing the volatility of its net asset value.
In general, each such transaction involves the establishment of a position which
is expected to move in a direction opposite to that of the security or
securities being hedged.

For example, each Series may sell futures contracts, or purchase put
options on futures contracts, securities indexes or securities for the purpose
of protecting against an anticipated decline in the value of securities held by
that Series. In the event that such decline occurs, and the hedging transaction
is successful, the reduced value of portfolio securities will be offset, in
whole or in part, by a corresponding gain on the futures or option position.
Conversely, when the Series is not fully invested in the securities market, and
it expects a significant market advance, it may purchase futures contracts or
call options on futures contracts, securities indexes or securities in order to
gain rapid market exposure that may in part or entirely offset increases in the
cost of securities that that Series intends to purchase.

The Statement of Additional Information includes further information about
the transactions in futures and option contracts that may be entered into by
each Series.

Gain or loss to each Series on transactions in security index futures or
options will depend on price movements in the stock market generally (or in a
particular industry or segment of the market), rather than price movements of
individual securities. A securities index assigns relative values to the
securities included in the index and the index fluctuates with changes in the
market values of the securities so included. Some securities index futures or
options are based on broad market indexes, such as the Standard & Poor's 500 or
the New York Stock Exchange Composite Index. In contrast, certain exchanges
offer futures or options on narrower market indexes, such as the Standard &
Poor's 100 or indexes based on an industry or market segment, such as oil and
gas stocks. Options on indexes and options on securities are traded on
securities exchanges regulated by the SEC. Futures contracts and options on
futures contracts are traded only on designated contract markets regulated by
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and through a registered futures
commission merchant which is a member of such contract market. A commission must
be paid on each completed purchase and sale transaction. Transactions on such
exchanges are cleared through a clearing corporation, which guarantees
performance between the clearing members which are parties to each contract.

42
<PAGE> 44

Each Series currently does not intend to engage in the writing of options,
except for the purpose of terminating an existing position or under the limited
circumstances described in the Statement of Additional Information.
Nevertheless, each Series has the authority to write options and may do so in
the future if the Advisers determine that such transactions are in the best
interests of the Series.

Short-Term Instruments. Each of the Series may invest in cash, commercial
paper, short-term obligations, repurchase agreements or other forms of debt
securities. See "Short-Term Instruments" above under Intermediate Government
Bond Series.

Repurchase Agreements and Reverse Repurchase Agreements. Each of the
Series may enter into repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements
and may borrow funds for temporary or emergency purposes, such as meeting larger
than expected redemption requests, and not for leverage. See "Repurchase
Agreements and Reverse Repurchase Agreements" above under Intermediate
Government Bond Series.

Restricted Securities. Each of the Series may not invest more than 15% of
its net assets in securities that are subject to legal or contractual
restrictions on resale. See "Restricted Securities" above under Money Market
Bond Series.

Delayed Delivery Transactions. In order to help insure the availability of
suitable securities for each of the Series the Advisers may purchase securities
for each such Series on a "when-issued" or on a "forward delivery" basis. See
"Delayed Delivery Transactions" above under Intermediate Government Bond Series.

Changes to the securities of each Series are generally made without regard
to the length of time a security has been held, or whether a sale would result
in the recognition of a profit or loss. Therefore, the rate of portfolio
turnover is not a limiting factor to trading when such trading is deemed
appropriate. Each Series engages in trading if it believes a transaction net of
costs (including custodian charges) will help it achieve its investment
objectives. The amount of brokerage commissions and realized capital gains will
tend to increase as the level of portfolio activity increases. The primary
consideration in placing portfolio security transactions with broker-dealers for
execution is to obtain, and maintain the availability of, execution at the most
favorable prices and in the most effective manner possible. See "Portfolio
Transactions and Brokerage Commissions" in the Statement of Additional
Information.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS FOR ALL SERIES OF DIVERSIFIED INVESTORS PORTFOLIOS

As "diversified" funds, no more than 5% of the assets of any series of
Diversified Investors Portfolios may be invested in the securities of one issuer
(other than U.S. Government securities), except that up to 25% of each series'
assets may be invested without regard to this limitation. No series of
Diversified Investors Portfolios will invest more than 25% of its assets in the
securities of issuers in any one industry. These are fundamental investment
policies which may not be changed without investor approval. As a nonfundamental
operating policy, no more than 15% (10% in the case of the Money Market Series)
of the net assets of any series may be invested in (i) securities the resale of
which is restricted under federal securities laws and (ii) illiquid or not
readily marketable securities (including repurchase agreements maturing in more
than seven days). Additional fundamental and operating policies of Diversified
Investors Portfolios are contained in the Statement of Additional Information.

LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

The Series have the authority to lend portfolio securities to brokers,
dealers and other financial organizations. By lending its securities, a Series
can increase its income by continuing to receive interest on the loaned
securities as well as by either investing the cash collateral in short-term
securities or obtaining yield in the form of interest paid when U.S. Government
obligations are used as collateral. There may be risks of delay in receiving
additional collateral or risks of delay in recovery of the securities or even
loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail
financially. A Series will adhere to the following conditions whenever its
securities are loaned: (i) the Series must receive at least 100% cash collateral
or equivalent securities from the borrower; (ii) the borrower must increase this
collateral whenever the market value of the loaned securities including accrued
interest exceeds the level of the collateral; (iii) the Series must be able to
terminate the loan at any time; (iv) the Series must receive reasonable interest
on the loan, as well as any dividends, interest or other

43
<PAGE> 45

distributions on the loaned securities, and any increase in market value; (v)
the Series may pay only reasonable custodian fees in connection with the loan;
and (vi) voting rights on the loaned securities may pass to the borrower.
However, if a material event adversely affecting the loaned securities were to
occur, the Series would terminate the loan and regain the right to vote the
securities.

MANAGEMENT OF DIVERSIFIED INVESTORS PORTFOLIOS

The Board of Trustees of Diversified Investors Portfolios provides broad
supervision over the affairs of Diversified Investors Portfolios. For further
information about the Trustees of Diversified Investors Portfolios, see
"Diversified Investors Portfolios" in the Statement of Additional Information. A
majority of the Trustees of Diversified Investors Portfolios are not affiliated
with the Advisers.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES. Diversified Investment Advisors, Inc.
("Diversified") manages the assets of each series of Diversified Investors
Portfolios pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory
Agreement") with Diversified Investors Portfolios with respect to each series

OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING
DIVERSIFIED INVESTORS PORTFOLIOS

PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF INTERESTS IN DIVERSIFIED INVESTORS
PORTFOLIOS. Beneficial interests in the series of Diversified Investors
Portfolios described in this Prospectus are currently being offered by DISC to
MONY for allocation to Subaccounts to fund benefits payable under the Contracts.
Investments in Diversified Investors Portfolios may only be made by investment
companies, insurance company separate accounts, common or commingled trust funds
or similar organizations or entities that are "accredited investors" within the
meaning of Regulation D under the 1933 Act. This Prospectus does not constitute
an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any beneficial
interests in the series of Diversified Investors Portfolios.

The net asset value of each series of Diversified Investors Portfolios is
determined each day during which the Advisers of that series are open for
business ("Portfolio Business Day"). This determination is made once each day as
of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, currently 4:00
p.m., New York time (the "Valuation Time").

Each investor in a series of Diversified Investors Portfolios may add to or
reduce its investment in such series on each Portfolio Business Day. As of the
Valuation Time on each such day, the value of each investor's beneficial
interest in a series will be determined by multiplying the net asset value of
the series by the percentage, effective for that day, which represents that
investor's share of the aggregate beneficial interests in the series. Any
additions or reductions, which are to be effected as of the Valuation Time on
such day, will then be effected. The investor's percentage of the aggregate
beneficial interests in a series will then be recomputed as the percentage equal
to the fraction (i) the numerator of which is the value of such investor's
investment in the series as of the Valuation Time on such day plus or minus, as
the case may be, the amount of net additions to or reductions in the investor's
investment in the series effected as of the Valuation Time, and (ii) the
denominator of which is the aggregate net asset value of the series as of the
Valuation Time on such day, plus or minus, as the case may be, the amount of net
additions to or reductions in the aggregate net asset value of the series as of
the Valuation Time on such day, plus or minus as the case may be, the amount of
net additions to or reductions in the aggregate investments in the series by all
investors in such series. The percentage so determined will then be applied to
determine the value of the investor's interest in the series as of the Valuation
time on the following Portfolio Business Day.

An investor in a series of Diversified Investors Portfolios may withdraw
all or any portion of its investment at the net asset value next determined if a
withdrawal request in proper form is furnished

46
<PAGE> 48

by the investor to Diversified Investors Portfolios by the designated cut-off
time for each accredited investor. The proceeds of a reduction or a withdrawal
will be paid by Diversified Investors Portfolios in federal funds normally on
the Portfolio Business Day the withdrawal is effected, but in any event within
seven days. Diversified Investors Portfolios, on behalf of each of its series,
reserves the right to pay redemptions in kind. Unless requested by an investor,
Diversified Investors Portfolios will not make a redemption in kind to the
investor, except in situations where that investor may make redemptions in kind.
Diversified Investors Portfolios, on behalf of each of its series, has elected,
however, to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act, as a result of which
Diversified Investors Portfolios is obligated to redeem beneficial interests in
each series with respect to any one investor during any 90 day period, solely in
cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net asset value of the series at
the beginning of the period. Investments in a series may not be transferred.

The right to redeem beneficial interests or to receive payment with respect
to any redemption may be suspended only (i) for any period during which trading
on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as determined by the Securities and
Exchange Commission or when the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than
customary weekend and holiday closings), (ii) for any period during which an
emergency exists as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission as a
result of which disposal of a series' securities or determination of the net
asset value of each series is not reasonably practicable, and (iii) for such
other periods as the Securities and Exchange Commission may by order permit for
the protection of investors in any series of Diversified Investors Portfolios.

NET ASSET VALUE. Diversified Investors Portfolios values the securities of
the Money Market Series based on the amortized cost method of valuation.
Securities of other series of Diversified Investors Portfolios are valued based
on their current market value when market quotations are available. Where market
quotations are not available, assets are valued at fair value as determined in
good faith under the direction of Diversified Investors Portfolios' Board of
Trustees. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining to maturity may be
valued by the amortized cost method, which the Diversified Investor Portfolios'
Trustees have determined to constitute fair value for such securities. For more
information on the valuation of portfolio securities, see "Diversified Investors
Portfolios" in the Statement of Additional Information.

TAXATION OF DIVERSIFIED INVESTORS PORTFOLIOS. Diversified Investors
Portfolios is organized as a New York trust. None of its series is subject to
any income or franchise tax in the State of New York. However, each investor in
a series will be taxable on its share (as determined in accordance with the
governing instruments of Diversified Investors Portfolio) of the series'
ordinary income and capital gain in determining its income tax liability. The
determination of such share will be made in accordance with the Code, and
regulations promulgated thereunder.

Diversified Investors Portfolios, since it is taxed as a partnership, is
not subject to federal income taxation. Instead, any investor in Diversified
Investors Portfolios must take into account, in computing its federal income tax
liability, its share of Diversified Investors Portfolios' income, gains, losses,
deductions, credits and tax preference items, without regard to whether it has
received any cash distributions from Diversified Investors Portfolios.

Withdrawals by any investor in Diversified Investors Portfolios from its
corresponding series generally will not result in recognizing any gain or loss
for federal income tax purposes, except that (1) gain will be recognized to the
extent that any cash distributed exceeds the basis of such investor's interest
in the series prior to the distribution, (2) income or gain will be realized if
the withdrawal is in liquidation of such investor's entire interest in the
series and includes a disproportionate share of any unrealized receivables held
by the series and (3) loss will be recognized if the distribution is in
liquidation of that entire interest and consists solely of cash and/or
unrealized receivables. The basis of any investor's interest in Diversified
Investors Portfolios generally equals the amount of cash and the basis of any
property that such investor invests in a series, increased by such investor's
share of income from that series and decreased by the amount of any cash
distributions and the basis of any property distributed from that series.

DESCRIPTION OF BENEFICIAL INTERESTS, VOTING RIGHTS AND
LIABILITIES. Diversified Investors Portfolios is organized as a series trust
under the laws of the State of New York. Under the Declaration of

47
<PAGE> 49

Trust, the Trustees are authorized to issue beneficial interests in one or more
series (each a "Series"). Investment in each series may not be transferred, but
an investor may withdraw all or any portion of its investment at any time at net
asset value. Investors in a series (e.g., investment companies, insurance
company separate accounts and common and commingled trust funds) will each be
liable for all obligations of that series (and of no other series). However, the
risk of an investor in a series incurring financial loss on account of such
liability is limited to circumstances in which both inadequate insurance existed
and the series itself was unable to meet its obligations. Investments in each
series have no preemptive or conversion rights and are fully paid and
nonassessable, except as set forth below.

Each investor is entitled to a vote in proportion to the amount of its
investment in each series. Investors in a series will vote as a separate class,
except as to voting for election of Trustees of Diversified Investors
Portfolios, as otherwise required by the 1940 Act, or if determined by the
Trustees of Diversified Investors Portfolios to be a matter which affects all
series. As to any matter which does not affect a particular series, only
investors in the one or more affected series are entitled to vote. Diversified
Investors Portfolios is not required and has no current intention of holding
special meetings of investors, but special meetings of investors will be held
when in the judgment of the Trustees of Diversified Investors Portfolios, it is
necessary or desirable to submit matters for an investor vote. Changes in
fundamental policies will be submitted to investors for approval. Investors
under certain circumstances (e.g., upon application and submission of certain
specified documents to the Trustees of Diversified Investors Portfolios by a
specified number of investors) have the right to communicate with other
investors in connection with requesting a meeting of investors for the purpose
of removing one or more Trustees of Diversified Investors Portfolios. Investors
also have the right to remove one or more Trustees of Diversified Investors
Portfolios without a meeting by a declaration in writing by a specified number
of investors. Upon liquidation of a series, investors would be entitled to share
pro rata in the net assets of that series (and no other series) available for
distribution to investors. See "Voting Rights" at page 23.

Each series determines its net income and realized capital gains, if any,
on each Portfolio Business Day and allocates all such income and gain pro rata
among the investors in such series at the time of such determination.

The "net income" of each series shall consist of (i) all income accrued,
less the amortization of any premium, on the assets of the series, less (ii) all
actual and accrued expenses of the series determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. Interest income includes discount
earned (including both original issue and market discount) on discount paper
accrued ratably to the date of maturity and any net realized gains or losses on
the assets of a series. All the net income of each series is allocated pro rata
among the investors in the series (and no other series).

PERFORMANCE DATA

MONEY MARKET SUBACCOUNT

For the seven day period ended December 31, 1996, the yield for the Money
Market Subaccount was % and the effective yield was %.

The yield is calculated by dividing the result of subtracting the value of
one Unit at the end of the seven day period ("Seventh Day Value") from the value
of one Unit at the beginning of the seven day period (""First Day Value") by the
First Day Value (the resulting quotient being the "Base Period Return") and
multiplying the Base Period Return by 365 divided by 7 to obtain the annualized
yield.

The effective yield is calculated by compounding the Base Period Return
calculated in accordance with the preceding paragraph, adding 1 to Base Period
Return, raising that sum to a power equal to 365 divided by 7 and subtracting 1
from the result.

As the Money Market Subaccount invests only in the Money Market Series (the
"Money Market Series") of Diversified Investors Portfolios, the First Day Value
reflects the net asset value of the interest in the Money Market Series held in
the Money Market Subaccount. The Seventh Day Value reflects increases or
decreases in the net asset value of the interest in the Money Market Series held
in the Money Market Subaccount due to the declaration of dividends, net
investment income and the daily charges and deductions from the Subaccount for
mortality and expense risk. Net investment income reflects earnings on
investments less expenses of the Money Market Series including the investment
management fee.

advice to the corresponding Series of Diversified Investors Portfolios
invested in by the Subaccount. Such commencement dates are November 1978
for the Money Market Subaccount, July 1990 for the Intermediate Government
Bond Subaccount, January 1978 for the Government/Corporate Bond Subaccount,
December 1992 for the Balanced Subaccount and January 1978 for the Equity
Income Subaccount, and February 1993 for the Equity Growth Subaccount. All
total return percentages reflect the historical rates of return for such
period adjusted to assume that all charges, expenses and fees of the
applicable Subaccount and the corresponding series of Diversified Investors
Portfolios which are presently in effect were deducted during such period.

(2) The average annual total returns for the Calvert Series Subaccount reflect
the average annual total returns of the Calvert Series. The commencement
date of the Calvert Series is September 30, 1986.

The table above assumes that a $1,000 payment was made to each Subaccount
at the beginning of the period shown, that no further payments were made, that
any distribution from the corresponding series (or its predecessor investment
vehicle) were reinvested, and that a Contractholder surrendered the Contract for
cash, rather than electing commencement of annuity benefits in the form of one
of the

Settlement Options available, at the end of the period shown. The annualized
total return percentages shown in the table reflect the annualized historical
rates of return and deductions for all charges, expenses, and fees which would
be imposed on the payment assumed by both the corresponding series and Keynote.

OTHER SUBACCOUNTS

The yield for each of the Subaccounts other than the Money Market
Subaccount and the Calvert Subaccount is shown for the periods indicated in the
table below.

* The 30 day yield is not indicative of future performance.

The yield shown in the table above is computed by subtracting from the net
investment income of the underlying investment vehicle all charges, expenses and
fees as well as expenses imposed by Keynote and dividing the result by the value
of the Subaccount. For the underlying investment vehicle of the Equity Growth,
Equity Income and for the equity portion of the Balanced Subaccount, net
investment income is the net of the dividends accrued (1/360 of the stated
dividend rate multiplied by the number of days the particular security is in the
underlying investment vehicle) on all equity securities during the 30-day period
and expenses accrued for the period. It does not reflect capital gains or
losses. For the fixed income portion of the Balanced Subaccount, as well as the
Government/Corporate Bond and Intermediate Government Bond Subaccounts, net
investment income is the net of interest earned on the obligations held by the
underlying investment vehicle of the applicable Subaccount and expenses accrued
for the period determined by (i) computing the yield to maturity based on the
market value of each obligation held in the underlying investment vehicle at the
close of business on the thirtieth day of the period, based on the purchase
price plus accrued interest); (ii) dividing the yield to maturity for each
obligation by 360; (iii) multiplying that quotient by the market value of each
obligation (including actual accrued interest) for each day of the subsequent
30-day month that the obligation is in the underlying investment vehicle; and
(iv) totaling the interest on each obligation. Discount or premium amortization
is recomputed at the beginning of each 30-day period and with respect to
discount and premium on mortgage or other receivables-backed obligations subject
to monthly payment of principal and interest, discount and premium is amortized
on the remaining security, based on the cost of the security, to the weighted
average maturity date, if available, or to the remaining term of the security,
if the weighted average maturity date is not available. Gain or loss
attributable to actual monthly paydowns is reflected as an increase or decrease
in interest income during that period.

The yield shown for each Subaccount reflects deductions for all charges,
expenses, and fees of both its underlying investment vehicle and Keynote.

Net investment income of the underlying investment vehicle less all charges
and expenses imposed by Keynote is divided by the product of the average daily
number of Units outstanding and the value of one Unit on the last day of the
period. The sum of the quotient and 1 is raised to the 6th power, 1 is
subtracted from the result, and then multiplied by 2.

DIVERSIFIED INVESTORS PORTFOLIOS

Six series of Diversified Investors Portfolios are presently available for
investment under the Contracts through Subaccounts of Keynote. This section of
the Statement of Additional Information describes each such series, including
Diversified Investors Money Market Portfolio (the "Money Market Series"),
Diversified Investors Intermediate Government Bond Portfolio (the "Intermediate
Government Bond Series"), Diversified Investors Government/Corporate Bond
Portfolio (the "Government/Corporate Bond Series"), Diversified Investors
Balanced Portfolio (the "Balanced Series"), Diversified Investors Equity Income
Portfolio (the "Equity Income Series") and Diversified Investors Equity Growth
Portfolio (the "Equity Growth Series"). The series of Diversified Investors
Portfolios available under the Contracts may be collectively referred to herein
as the "Series".

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

The investment objective of each Series is described in the Prospectus of
Keynote Series Account. There can, of course, be no assurance that a Series will
achieve its investment objective.

INVESTMENT POLICIES

The following discussion supplements the information regarding the
investment objective of each Series and the policies to be employed to achieve
this objective as set forth in the Prospectus of Keynote Series Account.

BANK OBLIGATIONS

Domestic commercial banks organized under Federal law are supervised and
examined by the Comptroller of the Currency and are required to be members of
the Federal Reserve System. Domestic banks organized under state law are
supervised and examined by state banking authorities but are members of the
Federal Reserve System only if they elect to join. In addition, state banks are
subject to Federal examination and to a substantial body of Federal law and
regulation. As a result of Federal or state laws and regulations, domestic
banks, among other things, generally are required to maintain specified levels
of reserves, are limited in the amounts which they can loan to a single
borrower, and are subject to other regulations designed to promote financial
soundness. However, not all of such laws and regulations apply to the foreign
branches of domestic banks.

Obligations of foreign branches and subsidiaries of domestic banks and
domestic and foreign branches of foreign banks, such as Certificates of Deposit
("CDs") and time deposits ("TDs"), may be general obligations of the parent
banks in addition to the issuing branch, or may be limited by the terms of a
specific obligation and governmental regulation. Such obligations are subject to
different risks than are those of domestic banks. These risks include foreign
economic and political developments, foreign governmental restrictions that may
adversely affect payment of principal and interest on the obligations, foreign
exchange controls and foreign withholding and other taxes on interest income.
These foreign branches and subsidiaries are not necessarily subject to the same
or similar regulatory requirements that apply to domestic banks, such as
mandatory reserve requirements, loan limitations, and accounting, auditing and
financial record keeping requirements. In addition, less information may be
publicly available about a foreign branch of a domestic bank or about a foreign
bank than about a domestic bank.

Obligations of United States branches of foreign banks may be general
obligations of the parent bank in addition to the issuing branch, or may be
limited by the terms of a specific obligation and by Federal or state regulation
as well as governmental action in the country in which the foreign bank has its
head office. A domestic branch of a foreign bank with assets in excess of $1
billion may be subject to

5
<PAGE> 59

reserve requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve System or by the state in
which the branch is located if the branch is licensed in that state.

In addition, branches licensed by the Comptroller of the Currency and
branches licensed by certain states may be required to: (1) pledge to the
regulator, by depositing assets with a designated bank within the state, a
certain percentage of their assets as fixed from time to time by the appropriate
regulatory authority; and (2) maintain assets within the state in an amount
equal to a specified percentage of the aggregate amount of liabilities of the
foreign bank payable at or through all of its agencies or branches within the
state.

In view of the foregoing factors associated with the purchase of CDs and
TDs issued by foreign branches of domestic banks, by foreign subsidiaries of
domestic banks, by foreign branches of foreign banks or by domestic branches of
foreign banks, the Advisers carefully evaluate such investments on a
case-by-case basis.

U.S. GOVERNMENT AND AGENCY SECURITIES

Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or
instrumentalities include U.S. Treasury securities, which differ only in their
interest rates, maturities and times of issuance. Treasury Bills have initial
maturities of one year or less; Treasury Notes have initial maturities of one to
ten years; and Treasury Bonds generally have initial maturities of greater than
ten years. Some obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies and
instrumentalities, for example, Government National Mortgage Association
pass-through certificates, are supported by the full faith and credit of the
U.S. Treasury; others, such as those of the Federal Home Loan Banks, by the
right of the issuer to borrow from the Treasury; others, such as those issued by
the Federal National Mortgage Association, by discretionary authority of the
U.S. Government to purchase certain obligations of the agency or
instrumentality; and others, such as those issued by the Student Loan Marketing
Association, only by the credit of the agency or instrumentality. While the U.S.
Government provides financial support to such U.S. Government-sponsored agencies
or instrumentalities, no assurance can be given that it will always do so, since
it is not so obligated by law. A Series will invest in such securities only when
the Advisers are satisfied that the credit risk with respect to the issuer is
minimal.

COMMERCIAL PAPER

Commercial paper consists of short-term (usually from 1 to 270 days)
unsecured promissory notes issued by corporations in order to finance their
current operations. A variable amount master demand note (which is a type of
commercial paper) represents a direct borrowing arrangement involving
periodically fluctuating rates of interest under a letter agreement between a
commercial paper issuer and an institutional lender pursuant to which the lender
may determine to invest varying amounts.

Each Series may invest in commercial paper issued by major corporations in
reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 3(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). Such commercial paper may
be issued only to finance current transactions and must mature in nine months or
less. Trading of such commercial paper is conducted primarily by institutional
investors through investment dealers, and individual investor participation in
the commercial paper market is very limited.

LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

All Series have the authority to lend portfolio securities to brokers,
dealers and other financial organizations. By lending its securities, a Series
can increase its income by continuing to receive interest on the loaned
securities as well as by either investing the cash collateral in short-term
securities or obtaining yield in the form of interest paid by the borrower when
U.S. Government obligations are used as collateral. There may be risks of delay
in receiving additional collateral or risks of delay in recovery of the
securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the
securities fail financially. A Series will adhere to the following conditions
whenever its securities are loaned: (i) the

6
<PAGE> 60

Series must receive at least 100 percent cash collateral or equivalent
securities from the borrower; (ii) the borrower must increase this collateral
whenever the market value of the securities including accrued interest rises
above the level of the collateral; (iii) the Series must be able to terminate
the loan at any time; (iv) the Series must receive reasonable interest on the
loan, as well as any dividends, interest or other distributions on the loaned
securities, and any increase in market value; (v) the Series may pay only
reasonable custodian fees in connection with the loan; and (vi) voting rights on
the loaned securities may pass to the borrower. However, if a material event
adversely affecting the investment were to occur, the Series would terminate the
loan and regain the right to vote the securities.

VARIABLE RATE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES

Each Series may purchase floating and variable rate demand notes and bonds,
which are obligations ordinarily having stated maturities in excess of 397 days,
but which permit the holder to demand payment of principal at any time, or at
specified intervals not exceeding 397 days, in each case upon not more than 30
days' notice. Variable rate demand notes include master demand notes which are
obligations that permit a Series to invest fluctuating amounts, which may change
daily without penalty, pursuant to direct arrangements between the Series, as
lender, and the borrower. The interest rates on these notes fluctuate from time
to time. The issuer of such obligations normally has a corresponding right,
after a given period, to prepay in its discretion the outstanding principal
amount of the obligations plus accrued interest upon a specified number of days'
notice to the holders of such obligations. The interest rate on a floating rate
demand obligation is based on a known lending rate, such as a bank's prime rate,
and is adjusted automatically each time such rate is adjusted. The interest rate
on a variable rate demand obligation is adjusted automatically at specified
intervals. Frequently, such obligations are secured by letters of credit or
other credit support arrangements provided by banks. Because these obligations
are direct lending arrangements between the lender and borrower, it is not
contemplated that such instruments generally will be traded, and there generally
is no established secondary market for these obligations, although they are
redeemable at face value. Accordingly, where these obligations are not secured
by letters of credit or other credit support arrangements, a Series' right to
redeem is dependent on the ability of the borrower to pay principal and interest
on demand. Such obligations frequently are not rated by credit rating agencies
and a Series may invest in obligations which are not so rated only if the
Advisers determine that at the time of investment the obligations are of
comparable quality to the other obligations in which the Series may invest. The
Advisers, on behalf of a Series, will consider on an ongoing basis the
creditworthiness of the issuers of the floating and variable rate demand
obligations held by the Series. A Series will not invest more than 15% (10% in
the case of the Money Market Series) of the value of its net assets in floating
or variable rate demand obligations as to which it cannot exercise the demand
feature on not more than seven days' notice if there is no secondary market
available for these obligations, and in other securities that are not readily
marketable. See "Investment Restrictions" below.

PARTICIPATION INTERESTS

A Series may purchase from financial institutions participation interests
in securities in which such Series may invest. A participation interest gives a
Series an undivided interest in the security in the proportion that the Series'
participation interest bears to the total principal amount of the security.
These instruments may have fixed, floating or variable rates of interest, with
remaining maturities of 13 months or less. If the participation interest is
unrated, or has been given a rating below that which is permissible for purchase
by the Series, the participation interest will be backed by an irrevocable
letter of credit or guarantee of a bank, or the payment obligation otherwise
will be collateralized by U.S. Government securities, or, in the case of unrated
participation interests, the Advisers must have determined that the instrument
is of comparable quality to those instruments in which a Series may invest. For
certain participation interests, a Series will have the right to demand payment,
on not more than seven days' notice, for all or any part of the Series'
participation interest in the security, plus accrued interest. As to these
instruments, a Series intends to exercise its right to demand payment only

7
<PAGE> 61

upon a default under the terms of the security, as needed to provide liquidity
to meet redemptions, or to maintain or improve the quality of its investment
portfolio. A Series will not invest more than 15% (10% in the case of the Money
Market Series) of its net assets in participation interests that do not have
this demand feature, and in other securities that are not readily marketable.
See "Investment Restrictions" below.

ILLIQUID SECURITIES

Historically, illiquid securities have included securities subject to
contractual or legal restrictions on resale because they have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"),
securities which are otherwise not readily marketable and repurchase agreements
having a maturity of longer than seven days. Securities which have not been
registered under the 1933 Act are referred to as private placements or
restricted securities and are purchased directly from the issuer or in the
secondary market. Mutual funds do not typically hold a significant amount of
these restricted or other illiquid securities because of the potential for
delays on resale and uncertainty in valuation. Limitations on resale may have an
adverse effect on the marketability of portfolio securities and a mutual fund
might be unable to dispose of restricted or other illiquid securities promptly
or at reasonable prices and might thereby experience difficulty satisfying
redemptions within seven days. A mutual fund might also have to register such
restricted securities in order to dispose of them resulting in additional
expense and delay. Adverse market conditions could impede such a public offering
of securities.

In recent years, however, a large institutional market has developed for
certain securities that are not registered under the 1933 Act, including
repurchase agreements, commercial paper, foreign securities, municipal
securities and corporate bonds and notes. Institutional investors depend on an
efficient institutional market in which the unregistered security can be readily
resold or on an issuer's ability to honor a demand for repayment. The fact that
there are contractual or legal restrictions on resale of such investments to the
general public or to certain institutions may not be indicative of their
liquidity.

The SEC has recently adopted Rule 144A, which allows a broader
institutional trading market for securities otherwise subject to restriction on
their resale to the general public. Rule 144A establishes a "safe harbor" from
the registration requirements of the 1933 Act of resales of certain securities
to qualified institutional buyers. The Advisers anticipate that the market for
certain restricted securities such as institutional commercial paper will expand
further as a result of this new regulation and the development of automated
systems for the trading, clearance and settlement of unregistered securities of
domestic and foreign issuers, such as the PORTAL System sponsored by the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

The Advisers will monitor the liquidity of Rule 144A securities for each
Series under the supervision of the Diversified Investors Portfolio's Board of
Trustees. In reaching liquidity decisions, the Advisers will consider, among
other things, the following factors: (1) the frequency of trades and quotes for
the security, (2) the number of dealers and other potential purchasers wishing
to purchase or sell the security, (3) dealer undertakings to make a market in
the security and (4) the nature of the security and of the marketplace trades
(e.g., the time needed to dispose of the security, the method of soliciting
offers and the mechanics of the transfer).

UNSECURED PROMISSORY NOTES

A Series also may purchase unsecured promissory notes ("Notes") which are
not readily marketable and have not been registered under the 1933 Act, provided
such investments are consistent with the Series' investment objective. The Notes
purchased by a Series will have remaining maturities of 13 months or less and
will be deemed by the Board of Trustees of Diversified Investors Portfolios to
present minimal credit risks and will meet the quality criteria set forth above
under "Investment Policies." A Series will invest no more than 15% (10% in the
case of the Money Market Series) of its

8
<PAGE> 62

net assets in such Notes and in other securities that are not readily
marketable(which securities would include floating and variable rate demand
obligations as to which the Series cannot exercise the demand feature described
above and as to which there is no secondary market). See "Investment
Restrictions" below.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Repurchase agreements are agreements by which a person purchases a security
and simultaneously commits to resell that security to the seller (which is
usually a member bank of the Federal Reserve System or a member firm of the New
York Stock Exchange (or a subsidiary thereof)) at an agreed-upon date within a
number of days (usually not more than seven) from the date of purchase. The
resale price reflects the purchase price plus an agreed-upon market rate of
interest which is unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased
security. A repurchase agreement involves the obligation of the seller to pay
the agreed-upon price, which obligation is in effect secured by the value of the
underlying security, usually U.S. Government or Government agency issues. Under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), repurchase
agreements may be considered to be loans by the buyer. A Series' risk is limited
to the ability of the seller to pay the agreed upon amount on the delivery date.
If the seller defaults, the underlying security constitutes collateral for the
seller's obligation to pay although a Series may incur certain costs in
liquidating this collateral and in certain cases may not be permitted to
liquidate this collateral. All repurchase agreements entered into by a Series
are fully collateralized, with such collateral being marked to market daily.

A Series may borrow funds for temporary or emergency purposes, such as
meeting larger than anticipated redemption requests, and not for leverage, and
by agreeing to sell portfolio securities to financial institutions such as banks
and broker-dealers and to repurchase them at a mutually agreed date and price (a
"reverse repurchase agreement"). At the time a Series enters into a reverse
repurchase agreement it will place in a segregated custodial account cash, U.S.
Government securities or high-grade debt obligations having a value equal to the
repurchase price, including accrued interest. Reverse repurchase agreements
involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by the Series may
decline below the repurchase price of those securities. Reverse repurchase
agreements are considered to be borrowings by a Series.

FOREIGN SECURITIES - ALL SERIES

Each Series may invest its assets in securities of foreign issuers.
Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities
are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in
domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available
information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the
disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Foreign
issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing and financial
reporting requirements comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers.
Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse
changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or
confiscatory taxation, brokerage or other taxation, limitation on the removal of
funds or other assets of a Series, political or financial instability or
diplomatic and other developments which would affect such investments. Further,
economies of particular countries or areas of the world may differ favorably or
unfavorably from the economy of the U.S.

It is anticipated that in most cases the best available market for foreign
securities would be on exchanges or in over-the-counter markets located outside
the U.S. Foreign stock markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are
generally not as developed as those in the U.S., and securities of some foreign
issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid
and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. Foreign security
trading practices, including those involving securities settlement where a
Series' assets may be released prior to receipt of payment, may expose a Series
to increased risk in the event of a failed trade or the insolvency of a foreign
broker-dealer. In addition, foreign brokerage commissions are generally higher
than commis-

9
<PAGE> 63

sions on securities traded in the U.S. and may be non-negotiable. In general,
there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign
securities exchanges, brokers and listed companies than in the U.S.

FOREIGN SECURITIES - MONEY MARKET SERIES

The Money Market Series may invest in foreign securities, including only
U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of foreign branches and subsidiaries of
domestic banks and foreign banks, such as Eurodollar certificates of deposit,
which are U.S. dollar-denominated certificates of deposit issued by branches of
foreign and domestic banks located outside the United States, and Yankee CDs,
which are certificates of deposit issued by a U.S. branch of a foreign bank
denominated in U.S. dollars and held in the United States; Eurodollar time
deposits ("ETDs"), which are U.S. dollar-denominated deposits in a foreign
branch of a foreign or domestic bank, and Canadian time deposits, which are
essentially the same as ETDs except they are issued by branches of major
Canadian banks; high quality, U.S. dollar-denominated short-term bonds and notes
(including variable amount master demand notes) issued by foreign corporations,
including Canadian commercial paper, which is commercial paper issued by a
Canadian corporation or a Canadian counterpart of a U.S. corporation, and
Europaper, which is U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper of a foreign
issuer; and U.S. dollar-denominated obligations issued or guaranteed by one or
more foreign governments or any of their political subdivisions, agencies or
instrumentalities that are determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality
to the other obligations in which the Money Market Series may invest. Such
securities also include debt obligations of supranational entities.
Supranational entities include international organizations designated or
supported by governmental entities to promote economic reconstruction or
development and international banking institutions and related government
agencies. Examples include the International Bank for Reconstruction and
Development (the World Bank), the European Coal and Steel Community, the Asian
Development Bank and the InterAmerican Development Bank.

FOREIGN SECURITIES - SERIES OTHER THAN MONEY MARKET SERIES

Each Series' policy is not to invest more than 25% of its assets in
securities of foreign issuers; not more than 5% of a Series' assets may be
invested in closed-end investment companies which primarily hold foreign
securities. Investments in such companies may entail the risk that the market
value of such investments may be substantially less than their net asset value
and that there would be duplication of investment management and other fees and
expenses. Securities of foreign issuers include investments in sponsored
American Depository Receipts ("ADRs"). ADRs are depository receipts for
securities of foreign issuers and provide an alternative method for a Series to
make foreign investments. These securities will not be denominated in the same
currency as the securities into which they may be converted. Generally, ADRs, in
registered form, are designed for use in U.S. securities markets. ADRs are
receipts typically issued by a U.S. bank or trust company evidencing ownership
of the underlying securities.

Each Series may invest in foreign securities that impose restrictions on
transfer within the United States or to United States persons. Although
securities subject to such transfer restrictions may be marketable abroad, they
may be less liquid than foreign securities of the same class that are not
subject to such restrictions.

FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS

Because some Series may buy and sell securities denominated in currencies
other than the U.S. dollar and receive interest, dividends and sale proceeds in
currencies other than the U.S. dollar, such Series from time to time may enter
into foreign currency exchange transactions to convert to and from different
foreign currencies and to convert foreign currencies to and from the U.S.
dollar. Such Series either enter into these transactions on a spot (i.e., cash)
basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or use
forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies.

10
<PAGE> 64

A forward foreign currency exchange contract is an obligation by a Series
to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed
number of days from the date of the contract. Forward foreign currency exchange
contracts establish an exchange rate at a future date. These contracts are
transferable in the interbank market conducted directly between currency traders
(usually large commercial banks) and their customers. A forward foreign currency
exchange contract generally has no deposit requirement and is traded at a net
price without commission. A Series maintains with its custodian a segregated
account of high grade liquid assets in an amount at least equal to its
obligations under each forward foreign currency exchange contract. Neither spot
transactions nor forward foreign currency exchange contracts eliminate
fluctuations in the prices of the Series' securities or in foreign exchange
rates, or prevent loss if the prices of these securities should decline.

The Series may enter into foreign currency hedging transactions in an
attempt to protect against changes in foreign currency exchange rates between
the trade and settlement dates of specific securities transactions or changes in
foreign currency exchange rates that would adversely affect a portfolio position
or an anticipated investment position. Since consideration of the prospect for
currency parities will be incorporated into the Advisers' long-term investment
decisions, the Series will not routinely enter into foreign currency hedging
transactions with respect to security transactions; however, the Advisers
believe that it is important to have the flexibility to enter into foreign
currency hedging transactions when they determine that the transactions would be
in a Series' best interest. Although these transactions tend to minimize the
risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, at the same
time they tend to limit any potential gain that might be realized should the
value of the hedged currency increase. The precise matching of the forward
contract amounts and the value of the securities involved will not generally be
possible because the future value of such securities in foreign currencies will
change as a consequence of market movements in the value of such securities
between the date the forward contract is entered into and the date it matures.
The projection of currency market movements is extremely difficult, and the
successful execution of a hedging strategy is highly uncertain.

While these contracts are not presently regulated by the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission ("CFTC"), the CFTC may in the future assert authority to
regulate forward contracts. In such event a Series' ability to utilize forward
contracts in the manner set forth herein and in the Prospectus may be
restricted. Forward contracts may reduce the potential gain from a positive
change in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies.
Unanticipated changes in currency prices may result in poorer overall
performance for a Series than if it had not entered into such contracts. The use
of foreign currency forward contracts may not eliminate fluctuations in the
underlying U.S. dollar equivalent value of the prices of or rates of return on a
Series' foreign currency denominated portfolio securities and the use of such
techniques will subject a Series to certain risks.

The matching of the increase in value of a forward contract and the decline
in the U.S. dollar equivalent value of the foreign currency denominated asset
that is the subject of the hedge generally will not be precise. In addition, a
Series may not always be able to enter into foreign currency forward contracts
at attractive prices and this will limit a Series' ability to use such contract
to hedge or cross-hedge its assets. Also, with regard to a Series' use of
cross-hedges, there can be no assurance that historical correlations between the
movement of certain foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will
continue. Thus, at any time poor correlation may exist between movements in the
exchange rates of the foreign currencies underlying a Series' cross-hedges and
the movements in the exchange rates of the foreign currencies in which a Series'
assets that are the subject of such cross-hedges are denominated.

GUARANTEED INVESTMENT CONTRACTS

Each Series may invest in guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs") issued
by insurance companies. Pursuant to such contracts, a Series makes cash
contributions to a deposit fund of the insurance company's general account. The
insurance company then credits to the fund guaranteed interest. The GICs provide
that this guaranteed interest will not be less than a certain minimum rate. The
insurance company may assess periodic charges against a GIC for expenses and
service costs

11
<PAGE> 65

allocable to it, and the charges will be deducted from the value of the deposit
fund. Because a Series may not receive the principal amount of a GIC from the
insurance company on seven days' notice or less, the GIC is considered an
illiquid investment and, together with other instruments in a Series which are
not readily marketable, will not exceed 15% (10% in the case of the Money Market
Series) of the Series' net assets. The term of a GIC will be thirteen months or
less. In determining average weighted portfolio maturity, a GIC will be deemed
to have a maturity equal to the longer of the period of time remaining until the
next readjustment of the guaranteed interest rate or the period of time
remaining until the principal amount can be recovered from the issuer through
demand.

WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES

Each Series may purchase securities on a "when-issued" or on a "forward
delivery" basis. It is expected that, under normal circumstances, a Series would
take delivery of such securities. When a Series commits to purchase a security
on a "when-issued" or on a "forward delivery" basis, the Series establishes
procedures consistent with the relevant policies of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Since those policies currently recommend that an amount of a Series'
assets equal to the amount of the purchase be held aside or segregated to be
used to pay for the commitment, the Series expects always to have cash, cash
equivalents, or high quality debt securities sufficient to cover any commitments
or to limit any potential risk. However, although a Series does not intend to
make such purchases for speculative purposes and intends to adhere to the
provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission policies, purchases of
securities on such bases may involve more risk than other types of purchases.
For example, a Series may have to sell assets which have been set aside in order
to meet redemptions. Also, if a Series determines it is advisable as a matter of
investment strategy to sell the "when-issued" or "forward delivery" securities,
the Series would be required to meet its obligations from the then available
cash flow or the sale of securities, or, although it would not normally expect
to do so, from the sale of the "when-issued" or "forward delivery" securities
themselves (which may have a value greater or less than the Series' payment
obligation).

ZERO COUPON OBLIGATIONS

Each Series may acquire zero coupon obligations when consistent with its
investment objective and policies. Such obligations have greater price
volatility than coupon obligations and will not result in payment of interest
until maturity. Since dividend income is accrued throughout the term of the zero
coupon obligation but is not actually received until maturity, a Series may have
to sell other securities to pay said accrued dividends prior to maturity of the
zero coupon obligation.

FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS - SERIES OTHER THAN MONEY
MARKET SERIES

GENERAL. The successful use of such instruments draws upon the Advisers'
skill and experience with respect to such instruments and usually depends on the
Advisers' ability to forecast interest rate and currency exchange rate movements
correctly. Should interest or exchange rates move in an unexpected manner, a
Series may not achieve the anticipated benefits of futures contracts or options
on futures contracts or may realize losses and thus will be in a worse position
than if such strategies had not been used. In addition, the correlation between
movements in the price of futures contracts or options on futures contracts and
movements in the price of the securities and currencies hedged or used for cover
will not be perfect and could produce unanticipated losses.

FUTURES CONTRACTS. A Series may enter into contracts for the purchase or
sale for future delivery of fixed-income securities or foreign currencies, or
contracts based on financial indices including any index of U.S. Government
securities, foreign government securities or corporate debt securities. U.S.
futures contracts have been designed by exchanges which have been designated
"contracts markets" by the CFTC, and must be executed through a futures
commission merchant, or brokerage firm, which is a member of the relevant
contract market. Futures contracts trade on a number of exchange markets, and,
through their clearing corporations, the exchanges guarantee performance of the
contracts as between the clearing members of the exchange. A Series may enter
into futures contracts which are

12
<PAGE> 66

based on debt securities that are backed by the full faith and credit of the
U.S. Government, such as long-term U.S. Treasury Bonds, Treasury Notes,
Government National Mortgage Association modified pass-through mortgage-backed
securities and three-month U.S. Treasury Bills. A Series may also enter into
futures contracts which are based on bonds issued by entities other than the
U.S. Government.

At the same time a futures contract is purchased or sold, the Series must
allocate cash or securities as a deposit payment ("initial deposit"). It is
expected that the initial deposit would be approximately 1/2% to 5% of a
contract's face value. Daily thereafter, the futures contract is valued and the
payment of "variation margin" may be required, since each day the Series would
provide or receive cash that reflects any decline or increase in the contract's
value.

At the time of delivery of securities pursuant to such a contract,
adjustments are made to recognize differences in value arising from the delivery
of securities with a different interest rate from that specified in the
contract. In some (but not many) cases, securities called for by a futures
contract may not have been issued when the contract was written.

Although futures contracts by their terms call for the actual delivery or
acquisition of securities, in most cases the contractual obligation is fulfilled
before the date of the contract without having to make or take delivery of the
securities. The offsetting of a contractual obligation is accomplished by buying
(or selling, as the case may be) on a commodities exchange an identical futures
contract calling for delivery in the same month. Such a transaction, which is
effected through a member of an exchange, cancels the obligation to make or take
delivery of the securities. Since all transactions in the futures market are
made, offset or fulfilled through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange
on which the contracts are traded, a Series will incur brokerage fees when it
purchases or sells futures contracts.

The purpose of the acquisition or sale of a futures contract, in the case
of a Series which holds or intends to acquire fixed-income securities, is to
attempt to protect the Series from fluctuations in interest or foreign exchange
rates without actually buying or selling fixed-income securities or foreign
currencies. For example, if interest rates were expected to increase, a Series
might enter into futures contracts for the sale of debt securities. Such a sale
would have much the same effect as selling an equivalent value of the debt
securities owned by the Series. If interest rates did increase, the value of the
debt securities in a Series would decline, but the value of the futures
contracts to the Series would increase at approximately the same rate, thereby
keeping the net asset value of the Series from declining as much as it otherwise
would have. The Series could accomplish similar results by selling debt
securities and investing in bonds with short maturities when interest rates are
expected to increase. However, since the futures market is more liquid than the
cash market, the use of futures contracts as an investment technique allows a
Series to maintain a defensive position without having to sell its portfolio
securities.

Similarly, when it is expected that interest rates may decline, futures
contracts may be purchased to attempt to hedge against anticipated purchases of
debt securities at higher prices. Since the fluctuations in the value of futures
contracts should be similar to those of debt securities, a Series could take
advantage of the anticipated rise in the value of debt securities without
actually buying them until the market had stabilized. At that time, the futures
contracts could be liquidated and the Series could then buy debt securities on
the cash market. To the extent a Series enters into futures contracts for this
purpose, the assets in the segregated asset account maintained to cover the
Series' obligations with respect to such futures contracts will consist of cash,
cash equivalents or high quality liquid debt securities from its portfolio in an
amount equal to the difference between the fluctuating market value of such
futures contracts and the aggregate value of the initial and variation margin
payments made by the Series with respect to such futures contracts.

The ordinary spreads between prices in the cash and futures market, due to
differences in the nature of those markets, are subject to distortions. First,
all participants in the futures market are subject to initial deposit and
variation margin requirements. Rather than meeting additional variation margin
requirements, investors may close futures contracts through offsetting
transactions which could distort the normal relationship between the cash and
futures markets. Second, the liquidity of the

13
<PAGE> 67

futures market depends on participants entering into offsetting transactions
rather than making or taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make
or take delivery, liquidity in the futures market could be reduced, thus
producing distortion. Third, from the point of view of speculators, the margin
deposit requirements in the futures market are less onerous than margin
requirements in the securities market. Therefore, increased participation by
speculators in the futures market may cause temporary price distortions. Due to
the possibility of distortion, a correct forecast of general interest rate
trends by the Advisers may still not result in a successful transaction.

In addition, futures contracts entail risks. Although the Advisers believe
that use of such contracts will benefit the Series, if the Advisers' investment
judgment about the general direction of interest rates is incorrect, a Series'
overall performance would be poorer than if it had not entered into any such
contract. For example, if a Series has hedged against the possibility of an
increase in interest rates which would adversely affect the price of debt
securities held by it and interest rates decrease instead, the Series will lose
part or all of the benefit of the increased value of its debt securities which
it has hedged because it will have offsetting losses in its futures positions.
In addition, in such situations, if a Series has insufficient cash, it may have
to sell debt securities to meet daily variation margin requirements. Such sales
of bonds may be, but will not necessarily be, at increased prices which reflect
the rising market. A Series may have to sell securities at a time when it may be
disadvantageous to do so.

OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS. The Series intend to purchase and write
options on futures contracts for edging purposes. The purchase of a call option
on a futures contract is similar in some respects to the purchase of a call
option on an individual security. Depending on the pricing of the option
compared to either the price of the futures contract upon which it is based or
the price of the underlying debt securities, it may or may not be less risky
than ownership of the futures contract or underlying debt securities. As with
the purchase of futures contracts, when a Series is not fully invested it may
purchase a call option on a futures contract to hedge against a market advance
due to declining interest rates.

The writing of a call option on a futures contract constitutes a partial
hedge against declining prices of the security or foreign currency which is
deliverable upon exercise of the futures contract. If the futures price at
expiration of the option is below the exercise price, a Series will retain the
full amount of the option premium which provides a partial hedge against any
decline that may have occurred in the Series' portfolio holdings. The writing of
a put option on a futures contract constitutes a partial hedge against
increasing prices of the security or foreign currency which is deliverable upon
exercise of the futures contract. If the futures price at expiration of the
option is higher than the exercise price, the Series will retain the full amount
of the option premium which provides a partial hedge against any increase in the
price of securities which the Series intends to purchase. If a put or call
option the Series has written is exercised, the Series will incur a loss which
will be reduced by the amount of the premium it receives. Depending on the
degree of correlation between changes in the value of its portfolio
securitiesand changes in the value of its futures positions, the Series' losses
from existing options on futures may to some extent be reduced or increased by
changes in the value of portfolio securities.

The purchase of a put option on a futures contract is similar in some
respects to the purchase of protective put options on portfolio securities. For
example, a Series may purchase a put option on a futures contract to hedge its
portfolio against the risk of rising interest rates.

The amount of risk a Series assumes when it purchases an option on a
futures contract is the premium paid for the option plus related transaction
costs. In addition to the correlation risks discussed above, the purchase of an
option also entails the risk that changes in the value of the underlying futures
contract will not be fully reflected in the value of the option purchased.

The Board of Trustees of Diversified Investors Portfolios has adopted the
requirement that futures contracts and options on futures contracts be used
either (i) as a hedge without regard to any quantitative limitation, or (ii) for
other purposes to the extent that immediately thereafter the aggregate

14
<PAGE> 68

amount of margin deposits on all (non-hedge) futures contracts of the Series and
premiums paid on outstanding (non-hedge) options on futures contracts owned by
the Series does not exceed 5% of the market value of the total assets of a
Series. In addition, the aggregate market value of the outstanding futures
contracts purchased by a Series may not exceed 50% of the market value of the
total assets of the Series. Neither of these restrictions will be changed by the
Board of Trustees of Diversified Investors Portfolios withhout considering the
policies and concerns of the various applicable federal and state regulatory
agencies.

OPTIONS ON FOREIGN CURRENCIES. A Series may purchase and write options on
foreign currencies for hedging purposes in a manner similar to that in which
futures contracts on foreign currencies, or forward contracts, will be utilized.
For example, a decline in the dollar value of a foreign currency in which
portfolio securities are denominated will reduce the dollar value of such
securities, even if their value in the foreign currency remains constant. In
order to protect against such diminutions in the value of portfolio securities,
a Series may purchase put options on the foreign currency. If the value of the
currency does decline, the Series will have the right to sell such currency for
a fixed amount in dollars and will thereby offset, in whole or in part, the
adverse effect on its portfolio which otherwise would have resulted.

Conversely, where a rise in the dollar value of a currency in which
securities to be acquired are denominated is projected, thereby increasing the
cost of such securities, a Series may purchase call options thereon. The
purchase of such options could offset, at least partially, the effects of the
adverse movements in exchange rates. As in the case of other types of options,
however, the benefit to a Series deriving from purchases of foreign currency
options will be reduced by the amount of the premium and related transaction
costs. In addition, where currency exchange rates do not move in the direction
or to the extent anticipated, a Series could sustain losses on transactions in
foreign currency options which would require it to forego a portion or all of
the benefits of advantageous changes in such rates.

A Series may write options on foreign currencies for the same types of
hedging purposes. For example, where a Series anticipates a decline in the
dollar value of foreign currency denominated securities due to adverse
fluctuations in exchange rates it could, instead of purchasing a put option,
write a call option on the relevant currency. If the expected decline occurs,
the options will most likely not be exercised, and the diminution in value of
portfolio securities will be offset by the amount of the premium received.

Similarly, instead of purchasing a call option to hedge against an
anticipated increase in the dollar cost of securities to be acquired, the Series
could write a put option on the relevant currency which, if rates move in the
manner projected, will expire unexercised and allow the Series to hedge such
increased cost up to the amount of the premium. As in the case of other types of
options, however, the writing of a foreign currency option will constitute only
a partial hedge up to the amount of the premium, and only if rates move in the
expected direction. If this does not occur, the option may be exercised and the
Series would be required to purchase or sell the underlying currency at a loss
which may not be offset by the amount of the premium. Through the writing
ofoptions on foreign currencies, the Series also may be required to forego all
or a portion of the benefits which might otherwise have been obtained from
favorable movements in exchange rates.

The Series intend to write covered call options on foreign currencies. A
call option written on a foreign currency by a Series is "covered" if the Series
owns the underlying foreign currency covered by the call or has an absolute and
immediate right to acquire that foreign currency without additional cash
consideration (or for additional cash consideration held in a segregated account
by its custodian) upon conversion or exchange of other foreign currency held in
its portfolio. A call option is also covered if the Series has a call on the
same foreign currency 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 Series in cash, U.S. Government
securities and other high quality liquid debt securities in a segregated account
with its custodian.

15
<PAGE> 69

The Series also intend to write call options on foreign currencies that are
not covered for cross-hedging purposes. A call option on a foreign currency is
for cross-hedging purposes if it is not covered, but is designed to provide a
hedge against a decline in the U.S. dollar value of a security which the Series
owns or has the right to acquire and which is denominated in the currency
underlying the option due to an adverse change in the exchange rate. In such
circumstances, a Series collateralizes the option by maintaining in a segregated
account with its custodian, cash or U.S. Government securities or other high
quality liquid debt securities in an amount not less than the value of the
underlying foreign currency in U.S. dollars marked to market daily.

ADDITIONAL RISKS OF OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS, FORWARD CONTRACTS AND
OPTIONS ON FOREIGN CURRENCIES. Unlike transactions entered into by a Series in
futures contracts, options on foreign currencies and forward contracts are not
traded on contract markets regulated by the CFTC or (with the exception of
certain foreign currency options) by the SEC. To the contrary, such instruments
are traded through financial institutions acting as market-makers, although
foreign currency options are also traded on certain national securities
exchanges, such as the Philadelphia Stock Exchange and the Chicago Board Options
Exchange, subject to SEC regulation. Similarly, options on currencies may be
traded over-the-counter. In an over-the-counter trading environment, many of the
protections afforded to exchange participants will not be available. For
example, there are no daily price fluctuation limits, and adverse market
movements could therefore continue to an unlimited extent over a period of time.
Although the purchaser of an option cannot lose more than the amount of the
premium plus related transaction costs, this entire amount could be lost.
Moreover, the option writer and a trader of forward contracts could lose amounts
substantially in excess of their initial investments, due to the margin and
collateral requirements associated with such positions.

Options on foreign currencies traded on national securities exchanges are
within the jurisdiction of the SEC, as are other securities traded on such
exchanges. As a result, many of the protections provided to traders on organized
exchanges will be available with respect to such transactions. In particular,
all foreign currency option positions entered into on a national securities
exchange are cleared and guaranteed by the Options Clearing Corporation ("OCC"),
thereby reducing the risk of counterparty default. Further, a liquid secondary
market in options traded on a national securities exchange may be more readily
available than in the over-the-counter market, potentially permitting a Series
to liquidate open positions at a profit prior to exercise or expiration, or to
limit losses in the event of adverse market movements.

The purchase and sale of exchange-traded foreign currency options, however,
is subject to the risks of the availability of a liquid secondary market
described above, as well as the risks regarding adverse market movements,
margining of options written, the nature of the foreign currency market,
possible intervention by governmental authorities and the effects of other
political and economic events. In addition, exchange-traded options on foreign
currencies involve certain risks not presented by the over-the-counter market.
For example, exercise and settlement of such options must be made exclusively
through the OCC, which has established banking relationships in applicable
foreign countries for this purpose. As a result, the OCC may, if it determines
that foreign governmental restrictions or taxes would prevent the orderly
settlement of foreign currency option exercises, or would result in undue
burdens on the OCC or its clearing member, impose special procedures on exercise
and settlement, such as technical changes in the mechanics of delivery of
currency, the fixing of dollar settlement prices or prohibitions on exercise.

As in the case of forward contracts, certain options on foreign currencies
are traded over-the-counter and involve liquidity and credit risks which may not
be present in the case of exchange-traded currency options. A Series' ability to
terminate over-the-counter options will be more limited than with
exchange-traded options. It is also possible that broker-dealers participating
in over-the-counter options transactions will not fulfill their obligations.
Until such time as the staff of the SEC changes its position, each Series will
treat purchased over-the-counter options and assets used to cover written
over-the-counter options as illiquid securities. With respect to options written
with primary dealers in U.S. Government Securities pursuant to an agreement
requiring a closing purchase transaction at a

16
<PAGE> 70

formula price, the amount of illiquid securities may be calculated with
reference to the repurchase formula.

In addition, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, forward
contracts and options on foreign currencies may be traded on foreign exchanges.
Such transactions are subject to the risk of governmental actions 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 the Series'
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, and (v) lesser trading volume.

OPTIONS ON SECURITIES - SERIES OTHER THAN MONEY MARKET SERIES

The Series may write (sell) covered call and put options to a limited
extent on its portfolio securities ("covered options") in an attempt to increase
income. However, a Series may forgo the benefits of appreciation on securities
sold or may pay more than the market price on securities acquired pursuant to
call and put options written by the Series.

When a Series writes a covered call option, it gives the purchaser of the
option the right to buy the underlying security at the price specified in the
option (the "exercise price") by exercising the option at any time during the
option period. If the option expires unexercised, the Series will realize income
in an amount equal to the premium received for writing the option. If the option
is exercised, a decision over which a Series has no control, the Series must
sell the underlying security to the option holder at the exercise price. By
writing a covered call option, a Series forgoes, in exchange for the premium
less the commission ("net premium"), the opportunity to profit during the option
period from an increase in the market value of the underlying security above the
exercise price.

When a Series writes a covered put option, it gives the purchaser of the
option the right to sell the underlying security to the Series at the specified
exercise price at any time during the option period. If the option expires
unexercised, the Series will realize income in the amount of the premium
received for writing the option. If the put option is exercised, a decision over
which a Series has no control, the Series must purchase the underlying security
from the option holder at the exercise price. By writing a covered put option, a
Series, in exchange for the net premium received, accepts the risk of a decline
in the market value of the underlying security below the exercise price. A
Series will only write put options involving securities for which a
determination is made at the time the option is written that the Series wishes
to acquire the securities at the exercise price.

A Series may terminate its obligation as the writer of a call or put option
by purchasing an option with the same exercise price and expiration date as the
option previously written. This transaction is called a "closing purchase
transaction." Where a Series cannot effect a closing purchase transaction, it
may be forced to incur brokerage commissions or dealer spreads in selling
securities it receives or it may be forced to hold underlying securities until
an option is exercised or expires.

When a Series writes an option, an amount equal to the net premium received
by the Series is included in the liability section of the Series' Statement of
Assets and Liabilities as a deferred credit. The amount of the deferred credit
will be subsequently marked to market to reflect the current market value of the
option written. The current market value of a traded option is the last sale
price or, in the absence of a sale, the mean between the closing bid and asked
price. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Series
enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Series will realize a gain (or
loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received
when the option was sold), and the deferred credit related to such option will
be eliminated. If a call option is exercised, the Series will realize a gain or
loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale will
be increased by the premium originally received. The writing of covered call
options may be deemed to involve the pledge of the securities against which the
option is being

17
<PAGE> 71

written. Securities against which call options are written will be segregated on
the books of the custodian for the Series.

A Series may purchase call and put options on any securities in which it
may invest. A Series would normally purchase a call option in anticipation of an
increase in the market value of such securities. The purchase of a call option
would entitle the Series, in exchange for the premium paid, to purchase a
security at a specified price during the option period. A Series would
ordinarily have a gain if the value of the securities increased above the
exercise price sufficiently to cover the premium and would have a loss if the
value of the securities remained at or below the exercise price during the
option period.

A Series would normally purchase put options in anticipation of a decline
in the market value of securities in its portfolio ("protective puts") or
securities of the type in which it is permitted to invest. The purchase of a put
option would entitle a Series, in exchange for the premium paid, to sell a
security, which may or may not be held in the Series' portfolio, at a specified
price during the option period. The purchase of protective puts is designed
merely to offset or hedge against a decline in the market value of the Series'
portfolio securities. Put options also may be purchased by a Series for the
purpose of affirmatively benefiting from a decline in the price of securities
which the Series does not own. A Series would ordinarily recognize a gain if the
value of the securities decreased below the exercise price sufficiently to cover
the premium and would recognize a loss if the value of the securities remained
at or above the exercise price. Gains and losses on the purchase of protective
put options would tend to be offset by countervailing changes in the value of
underlying portfolio securities.

The Series have adopted certain other nonfundamental policies concerning
option transactions which are discussed below. A Series' activities in options
may also be restricted by the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"), for qualification as a regulated investment company.

The hours of trading for options on securities may not conform to the hours
during which the underlying securities are traded. To the extent that the option
markets close before the markets for the underlying securities, significant
price and rate movements can take place in the underlying securities markets
that cannot be reflected in the option markets. It is impossible to predict the
volume of trading that may exist in such options, and there can be no assurance
that viable exchange markets will develop or continue.

The Series may engage in over-the-counter options transactions with
broker-dealers who make markets in these options. At present, approximately ten
broker-dealers, including several of the largest primary dealers in U.S.
Government securities, make these markets. The ability to terminate over-the-
counter option positions is more limited than with exchange-traded option
positions because the predominant market is the issuing broker rather than an
exchange, and may involve the risk that broker-dealers participating in such
transactions will not fulfill their obligations. To reduce this risk, the Series
will purchase such options only from broker-dealers who are primary government
securities dealers recognized by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and who
agree to (and are expected to be capable of) entering into closing transactions,
although there can be no guarantee that any such option will be liquidated at a
favorable price prior to expiration. The Advisers will monitor the
creditworthiness of dealers with whom a Series enters into such options
transactions under the general supervision of the Trustees of Diversified
Investors Portfolios.

OPTIONS ON SECURITIES INDICES - SERIES OTHER THAN MONEY MARKET SERIES

In addition to options on securities, the Series may also purchase and
write (sell) call and put options on securities indices. Such options give the
holder the right to receive a cash settlement during the term of the option
based upon the difference between the exercise price and the value of the index.
Such options will be used for the purposes described above under "Options on
Securities."

18
<PAGE> 72

Options on securities indices entail risks in addition to the risks of
options on securities. The absence of a liquid secondary market to close out
options positions on securities indices is more likely to occur, although the
Series generally will only purchase or write such an option if the Advisers
believe the option can be closed out.

Use of options on securities indices also entails the risk that trading in
such options may be interrupted if trading in certain securities included in the
index is interrupted. The Series will not purchase such options unless the
Advisers believe the market is sufficiently developed such that the risk of
trading in such options is no greater than the risk of trading in options on
securities.

Price movements in the Series may not correlate precisely with movements in
the level of an index and, therefore, the use of options on indices cannot serve
as a complete hedge. Because options on securities indices require settlement in
cash, the Advisers may be forced to liquidate portfolio securities to meet
settlement obligations.

SHORT SALES "AGAINST THE BOX" - SERIES OTHER THAN MONEY MARKET SERIES

In a short sale, a Series sells a borrowed security and has a corresponding
obligation to the lender to return the identical security. A Series may engage
in short sales only if at the time of the short sale it owns or has the right to
obtain, at no additional cost, an equal amount of the security being sold short.
This investment technique is known as a short sale "against the box".

In a short sale, the seller does not immediately deliver the securities
sold and is said to have a short position in those securities until delivery
occurs. If a Series engages in a short sale, the collateral for the short
position will be maintained by its custodian or qualified sub-custodian. While
the short sale is open, a Series maintains in a segregated account an amount of
securities equal in kind and amount to the securities sold short or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for such equivalent securities. These
securities constitute the Series' long position.

The Series will not engage in short sales against the box for investment
purposes. A Series may, however, make a short sale as a hedge, when it believes
that the price of a security may decline, causing a decline in the value of a
security (or a security convertible or exchangeable for such security), or when
a Series wants to sell the security at an attractive current price, but also
wishes to defer recognition of gain or loss for federal income tax purposes or
for purposes of satisfying certain tests applicable to regulated investment
companies under the Code. In such case, any future losses in a Series' long
position should be reduced by a gain in the short position. Conversely, any gain
in the long position should be reduced by a loss in the short position. The
extent to which such gains or losses are reduced depends upon the amount of the
security sold short relative to the amount a Series owns. There are certain
additional transaction costs associated with short sales against the box, but
the Series endeavor to offset these costs with the income from the investment of
the cash proceeds of short sales.

As a non-fundamental operating policy, the Advisers do not expect that more
than 40% of a Series' total assets would be involved in short sales against the
box. The Advisers do not currently intend to engage in such sales.

CERTAIN OTHER OBLIGATIONS

In order to allow for investments in new instruments that may be created in
the future, a Series may, upon supplementing this Statement of Additional
Information, invest in obligations other than those listed previously, provided
such investments are consistent with a Series' investment objective, policies
and restrictions.

RATING SERVICES

The ratings of rating services represent their opinions as to the quality
of the securities that they undertake to rate. It should be emphasized, however,
that ratings are relative and subjective and are

19
<PAGE> 73

not absolute standards of quality. Although these ratings are an initial
criterion for selection of portfolio investments, the Advisers also make their
own evaluations of these securities, subject to review by the Board of Trustees
of Diversified Investors Portfolios. After purchase by a Series, an obligation
may cease to be rated or its rating may be reduced below the minimum required
for purchase by the Series. Neither event would require a Series to dispose of
the obligation, but the Advisers will consider such an event in their
determination of whether a Series should continue to hold the obligation. A
description of the ratings used herein and in the Prospectus is set forth in the
Appendix to this Statement of Additional Information.

Except as stated otherwise, all investment policies and restrictions
described herein are non-fundamental, and may be changed without prior
shareholder approval.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The following investment restrictions are "fundamental policies" of each
Series and may not be changed without the approval of a "majority of the
outstanding voting securities" of the Series. "Majority of the outstanding
voting securities" under the 1940 Act and as used in this Statement of
Additional Information and the Prospectus, means, with respect to a Series, the
lesser of (i) 67% or more of the total beneficial interests of the Series
present at a meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the total beneficial
interests of the Series are present or represented by proxy or (ii) more than
50% of the total beneficial interests of the Series. If a percentage or a rating
restriction on investment or utilization of assets is adhered to at the time an
investment is made or assets are so utilized, a later change in such percentage
resulting from changes in a Series' total assets or the value of a Series'
securities, or a later change in the rating of a portfolio security, will not be
considered a violation of the relevant policy.

As a matter of fundamental policy, no Series may:

(1) borrow money or mortgage or hypothecate assets of the Series,
except that in an amount not to exceed 1/3 of the current value of the
Series' assets (including such borrowing) less liabilities (not including
such borrowing), it may borrow money and enter into reverse repurchase
agreements, and except that it may pledge, mortgage or hypothecate not more
than 1/3 of such assets to secure such borrowings or reverse repurchase
agreements, provided that collateral arrangements with respect to options
and futures, including deposits of initial deposit and variation margin,
are not considered a pledge of assets for purposes of this restriction and
except that assets may be pledged to secure letters of credit solely for
the purpose of participating in a captive insurance company sponsored by
the Investment Company Institute;

(2) underwrite securities issued by other persons except insofar as
Diversified Investors Portfolios or a Series may technically be deemed an
underwriter under the 1933 Act in selling a portfolio security;

(3) make loans to other persons except (a) through the lending of
portfolio securities and provided that any such loans not exceed 30% of the

(5) concentrate its investments in any particular industry (excluding
U.S. Government Securities), but if it is deemed appropriate for the
achievement of the Series' investment objective(s), up to 25% of its total

Money Market Series reserves the right to concentrate 25% or more of its
assets in obligations of domestic branches of domestic banks);

(6) issue any senior security (as that term is defined in the 1940
Act) if such issuance is specifically prohibited by the 1940 Act or the

of a senior security for purposes of this restriction; or

(7) enter into repurchase agreements providing for settlement in more
than seven days after notice or purchase securities which are not readily
marketable (which securities would include participation interests and
floating and variable rate demand obligations as to which no secondary

than seven days' notice), if, in the aggregate, more than 15% (10% in the
case of the Money Market Series) of its net assets would be so invested. A
Series may not invest in time deposits maturing in more than seven days.

State and Federal Restrictions. In order to comply with certain state and
federal statutes and policies each Series will not as a matter of operating
policy:

<TABLE>

at cost), except that the Series may borrow for temporary or emergency purposes
up to 1/3 of its assets;
(ii) pledge, mortgage or hypothecate for any purpose in excess of 10% of the Series'
net assets (taken at market value), provided that collateral arrangements with

variation margin, reverse repurchase agreements, when-issued securities and
other similar investment techniques are not considered a pledge of assets for
purposes of this restriction;
(iii) purchase any security or evidence of interest therein on margin, except that
such short-term credit as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and
sales of securities may be obtained and except that deposits of initial deposit
and variation margin may be made in connection with the purchase, ownership,
holding or sale of futures;
(iv) invest for the purpose of exercising control or management;
(v) purchase securities issued by any other investment company except by purchase in
the open market where no commission or profit to a sponsor or dealer results
from such purchase other than the customary broker's commission, or except when
such purchase, though not made in the open market, is part of a plan of merger
or consolidation; provided, however, that securities of any investment company
will not be purchased for a Series if such purchase at the time thereof would
cause (a) more than 10% of the Series' total assets (taken at the greater of
cost or market value) to be invested in the securities of such issuers; (b) more
that 5% of the Series' total assets (taken at the greater of cost or market

outstanding voting securities of any such issuer to be held for the Series; and
provided further that a Series may not purchase any security from any open-end
investment company;
(vi) purchase securities of any issuer if such purchase at the time thereof would
cause the Series to hold more than 10% of any class of securities of such
issuer, for which purposes all indebtedness of an issuer shall be deemed a
single class and all preferred stock of an issuer shall be deemed a single
class, except that futures or option contracts shall not be subject to this
restriction;

(vii) purchase or retain in a Series' portfolio any securities issued by an issuer any
of whose officers, directors, trustees or security holders is an officer or
Trustee of Diversified Investors Portfolios or is an officer or partner of the
Adviser or Subadviser, if after the purchase of the securities of such issuer
for a Series one or more of such persons owns beneficially more than 1/2 of 1%
of the shares or securities, or both, all taken at market value, of such issuer,
and such persons owning more than 1/2 of 1% of such shares or securities
together own beneficially more than 5% of such shares or securities, or both,
all taken at market value;
(viii) invest more than 5% of a Series' net assets in warrants (valued at the lower of
cost or market), but not more than 2% of a Series' net assets may be invested in
warrants not listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock
Exchange; or
(ix) make short sales of securities or maintain a short position (excluding short
sales if the Series owns an equal amount of such securities or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for, without payment of any further
consideration, securities of equivalent kind and amount) if such short sales
represent more than 25% of the Series' net assets (taken at market value);
provided, however, that the value of the Series' short sales of securities
(excluding U.S. Government Securities) of any one issuer may not be greater than
2% of the value (taken at market value) of the Series' net assets or more than
2% of the securities of any class of any issuer.
</TABLE>

Policies (i) through (ix) may be changed by the Board of Trustees of
Diversified Investors Portfolios.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS

Portfolio changes are made without regard to the length of time a security
has been held, or whether a sale would result in the recognition of a profit or
loss. Therefore, the rate of portfolio turnover is not a limiting factor when
changes are appropriate. Portfolio trading is engaged in for a Series if the
Advisers believe that a transaction net of costs (including custodian charges)
will help achieve the Series' investment objectives.

A Series' purchases and sales of securities may be principal transactions,
that is, securities may be purchased directly from the issuer or from an
underwriter or market maker for the securities. There usually are no brokerage
commissions paid for such purchases and, therefore, the Series do not anticipate
paying brokerage commissions in such transactions. Any transactions for which a
Series pays a brokerage commission will be effected at the best price and
execution available. Purchases from underwriters of securities include a
commission or concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter, and purchases
from dealers serving as market makers include the spread between the bid and the
asked price.

Allocations of transactions, including their frequency, to various dealers
is determined by the Subadvisers in their best judgement and in a manner deemed
to be in the best interest of the investors in a Series rather than by any
formula. The primary consideration is prompt execution of orders in an effective
manner at the most favorable price.

Investment decisions for a Series will be made independently from those for
any other account or investment company that is or may in the future become
managed by the Advisers or their affiliates. If, however, a Series and other
investment companies or accounts managed by the Subadvisers are
contemporaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security, the
transactions may be averaged as to price and allocated equitably to each
account. In some cases, this policy might adversely affect the price paid or
received by a Series or the size of the position obtainable for the Series. In
addition, when purchases or sales of the same security for a Series and for
other investment companies managed by the Subadvisers occur contemporaneously,
the purchase or sale orders may be aggregated in order to obtain any price
advantages available to large denomination purchases or sales. Further-

22
<PAGE> 76

more, in certain circumstances affiliates of the Subadvisers whose investment
portfolios are managed internally, rather than by the Subadvisers, might seek to
purchase or sell the same type of investments at the same time as a Series. Such
an event might also adversely affect that Series.

DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE; VALUATION OF SECURITIES

Beneficial interests in each Series of Diversified Investors Portfolios are
issued solely in private placement transactions that do not involve any "public
offering" within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Act. of 1933 Act.

Portfolio securities are valued on the basis of market quotations when they
are readily available. Each Series values mortgage-backed and other debt
securities for which market quotations are not readily available at their fair
value as determined in good faith, utilizing procedures approved by the Board of
Trustees of Diversified Investors Portfolios, on the basis of valuations
provided either by dealers or a pricing service. Debt securities having a
remaining maturity of sixty days or less when purchased and debt securities
originally purchased with maturities in excess of sixty days but which currently
have maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.

Interest rate futures contracts held by a Series are valued on the basis of
closing market quotations, which are normally available daily. When market
quotations are not readily available, the fair value of these contracts will be
determined in good faith utilizing procedures approved by the Board of Trustees
of Diversified Investors Portfolios.

A determination of value used in calculating net asset value must be a fair
value determination made in good faith utilizing procedures approved by
Diversified Investors Portfolios Board of Trustees. While no single standard for
determining fair value exists, as a general rule, the current fair value of a
security would appear to be the amount which a Series could expect to receive
upon its current sale. Some, but not necessarily all, of the general factors
which may be considered in determining fair value include: (i) the fundamental
analytical data relating to the investment; (ii) the nature and duration of
restrictions on disposition of the securities; and (iii) an evaluation of the
forces which influence the market in which these securities are purchased and
sold. Without limiting or including all of the specific factors which may be
considered in determining fair value, some of the specific factors include: type
of security, financial statements of the issuer, cost at date of purchase, size
of holding, discount from market value, value of unrestricted securities of the
same class at the time of purchase, special reports prepared by analysts,
information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security,
existence of merger proposals or tender offers affecting the securities, price
and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable
companies, and other relevant matters.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES

The Diversified Investment Advisors, Inc. ("Diversified") manages the
assets of each Series pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (the
"Advisory Agreement") with Diversified Investors Portfolios with respect to that
Series and the investment policies described herein and in the Prospectus.
Subject to such further policies as the Diversified Investors Portfolios' Board
of Trustees may determine, the Diversified provides general investment advice to
each Series. For its services under each Advisory Agreement, Diversified
receives from each Series fees accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate
equal to the percentages specified in the table set forth in the Prospectus of
the corresponding Series' average daily net assets.

For each Series of Diversified Investors Portfolios, Diversified has
entered into an Investment Subadvisory Agreement (each a "Subadvisory
Agreement") with one or more of the subadvisers (each "Subadviser," and
collectively the "Subadvisers"). It is the responsibility of a Subadviser to
make the day to day investment decisions for its Series and to place the
purchase and sales orders for securities

24
<PAGE> 78

transactions of such Series, subject in all cases to the general supervision of
Diversified. Each Subadviser furnishes at its own expense all services,
facilities and personnel necessary in connection with managing the corresponding
Series' investments and effecting securities transactions for a Series.

Each Advisory Agreement provides that Diversified or a Subadviser, as the
case may be, may render services to others. Each agreement is terminable without
penalty on not more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written notice by a
Series when authorized either by majority vote of the investors in the Series
(with the vote of each being in proportion to the amount of their investment) or
by a vote of a majority of its Board of Trustees of Diversified Investors
Portfolios, or by Diversified or a Subadviser on not more than 60 days' nor less
than 30 days' written notice, as the case may be, and will automatically
terminate in the event of its assignment. Each agreement provides that neither
Diversified nor Subadviser nor their personnel shall be liable for any error of
judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or for
any act or omission in the execution of security transactions for the
corresponding Series, except for willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of its or their obligations and duties under
the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement, as the case may be.

Diversified's and Subadviser's fees are described in to the Prospectus.
Diversified, if required by applicable state law, shall reimburse a Series or
waive all or part of its fees up to, but not exceeding, its investment advisory
fees from the Series. Such reimbursement, if required, will be equal to the
combined aggregate annual expenses which exceed that expense limitation with the
lowest threshold prescribed by any state in which such Series is qualified for
offer or sale. Management of Diversified Investors Portfolios has been advised
that the lowest such threshold currently in effect is 2 1/2% of net assets up to
$30,000,000, 2% of the next $70,000,000 of net assets and 1/2% of net assets in
excess of that amount.

ADMINISTRATOR

The Administrative Services Agreement between Diversified, as
Administrator, and Diversified Investors Portfolios is described in the
Prospectus. The agreement provides that Diversified may render services to
others as administrator. In addition, the agreement terminates automatically if
it is assigned and may be terminated without penalty by majority vote of the
investors in Diversified Investors Portfolios (with the vote of each being in
proportion to the amount of their investment). The Administrative Services
Agreement also provides that neither Diversified nor its personnel shall be
liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any act or omission in
connection with any Series, except for willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance of its or their duties or by reason of reckless
disregard of its or their duties or obligations under said agreements.

CUSTODIAN AND TRANSFER AGENT

Pursuant to a Custodian Contract, Investors Bank & Trust Company acts as
the custodian of each Series' assets (the "Custodian"). The Custodian's business
address is 89 South Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02205-1537. The Custodian's
responsibilities include safeguarding and controlling cash and securities,
handling the receipt and delivery of securities, determining income and
collecting interest on the Series' investments, maintaining books of original
entry for portfolio accounting and other required books and accounts, and
calculating the daily net asset value of beneficial interests in each Series.
Securities held by a Series may be deposited into the Federal Reserve-Treasury
Department Book Entry System or the Depository Trust Company and may be held by
a subcustodian bank if such arrangements are reviewed and approved by the Board
of Trustees of Diversified Investors Portfolios. The Custodian does not
determine the investment policies of any Series or decide which securities any
Series will buy or sell. A Series may, however, invest in securities of the
Custodian and may deal with the Custodian as principal in securities and foreign
exchange transactions. For its services, the Custodian will receive such
compensation as may from time to time be agreed upon by it and Diversified
Investors Portfolios.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., serves as the independent accountants for
Diversified Investors Portfolios providing audit and accounting services
including (i) audit of the annual financial statements, (ii) assistance and
consultation with respect to the preparation of filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and (iii) preparation of annual income tax returns.

The financial statements of Diversified Investors Portfolios included herein
have been so included in reliance on the report of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P.,
independent accountants, given on the authority of said firm as experts in
auditing and accounting.

CAPITAL STOCK AND OTHER SECURITIES

Diversified Investors Portfolios is organized as a trust under the law of
the State of New York. Under Diversified Investors Portfolios Declaration of
Trust, the Trustees are authorized to issue beneficial interest in one or more
Series. Currently there are nine active Series of Diversified Investors
Portfolios. Investors in a Series will be held personally liable for the
obligations and liabilities of that Series (and of no other Series), subject,
however, to indemnification by Diversified Investors Portfolios in the event
that there is imposed upon an investor a greater portion of the liabilities and
obligations of the Series than its proportionate beneficial interest in the
Series. The Declaration of Trust also provides that Diversified Investors
Portfolios shall maintain appropriate insurance (for example, a fidelity bond
and errors and omissions insurance) for the protection of Diversified Investors
Portfolios, its investors, Trustees, officers, employees and agents, and
covering possible tort and other liabilities. Thus, the risk of an investor
incurring financial loss on account of investor liability is limited to
circumstances in which both inadequate insurance existed and Diversified
Investors Portfolios itself was unable to meet its obligations.

Investors in a Series are entitled to participate pro rata in distributions
of taxable income, loss, gain and credit of their respective Series only. Upon
liquidation or dissolution of a Series, investors are entitled to share pro rata
in that Series' (and no other Series) net assets available for distribution to
its investors. Diversified Investor Portfolios reserves the right to create and
issue additional Series of beneficial interest, in which case the beneficial
interests in each new Series would participate equally in the earnings,
dividends and assets of that particular Series only (and no other Series). Any
property of Diversified Investors Portfolios is allocated and belongs to a
specific Series to the exclusion of all other Series. All consideration received
by Diversified Investors Portfolios for the issuance and sale of beneficial
interests in a particular Series, together with all assets in which such
consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings and proceeds
thereof, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such
proceeds, is held by the Trustees of Diversified Investors Portfolios in a
separate subtrust (a Series) for the benefit of investors in that Series and
irrevocably belongs to that Series for all purposes. Neither a Series no
investors in that Series possess any right to or interest in the assets
belonging to any other Series.

Investments in a Series have no preference, preemptive, conversion or
similar rights and are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth below.
Investments in a Series may not be transferred.

Each investor is entitled to a vote in proportion to the amount of its
investment in each Series. Investors in a Series do not have cumulative voting
rights, and investors holding more than 50% of the aggregate beneficial
interests in all outstanding Series may elect all of the Trustees if they choose
to do so and in such event other investors would not be able to elect any
Trustees. Investors in each Series will vote as a separate class except as to
voting for the election of Trustees, as otherwise required by the 1940 Act, or
if determined by the Trustees to be a matter which affects all Series. As to any
matter which does not affect the interest of a particular Series, only investors
in the one or more affected Series are entitled to vote. Diversified Investors
Portfolios is not required and has no current intention of holding annual
meetings of investors, but will hold special meetings of investors when in the
judgment of Trustees it is necessary or desirable to submit matters for an
investor vote. The Declaration of Trust may be amended without the vote of
investors, except that investors have the right to approve by

26
<PAGE> 80

affirmative majority vote any amendment which would affect their voting rights,
alter the procedures to amend the Declaration of Trust, or as required by law or
by Diversified Investors Portfolios registration statement, or as submitted to
them by the Trustees. Any amendment submitted to investors which the Trustees
determine would affect the investors of any Series shall be authorized by vote
of the investors of such Series and no vote will be required of investors in a
Series not affected.

Diversified Investors Portfolios or any Series may enter into a merger or
consolidation, or sell all or substantially all of its assets, if approved (a)
at a meeting of investors by investors representing the lesser of (i) 67% or
more of the beneficial interest in the affected Series present or represented at
such meeting, if investors in more that 50% of all such beneficial interests are
present or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of all such beneficial
interests, or (b) by an instrument in writing without a meeting, consented to by
investors representing not less than a majority of the beneficial interest in
the affected Series. Diversified Investors Portfolios or any Series may also be
terminated (i) upon liquidation and distribution of its assets if approved by
the vote of two thirds of its investors (with the vote of each being in
proportion to the amount of its investment), (ii) by the Trustees by written
notice to its investors, or (iii) upon the bankruptcy or expulsion of an
investor in the affected Series, unless the investors in such Series, by
majority vote, agree to continue the Series. Diversified Investors Portfolios
will be dissolved upon the dissolution of the last remaining Series.

The Declaration of Trust provides that obligations of Diversified Investors
Portfolios are not binding upon the Trustees individually but only upon the
property of Diversified Investors Portfolios and that the Trustees will not be
liable for any action or failure to act, but nothing in the Declaration of Trust
protects a Trustee against any liability to which he would otherwise be subject
by reason of wilful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless
disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

The Declaration of Trust further provides that it will indemnify its
Trustees and officers against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection
with litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices with
Diversified Investors Portfolios, unless, as to liability to Diversified
Investors Portfolios or its investors, it is finally adjudicated that they
engaged in wilful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard
of the duties involved in their offices, or unless with respect to any other
matter it is finally adjudicated that they did not act in good faith in the
reasonable belief that their actions were in the best interests of Diversified
Investors Portfolios. In the case of settlement, such indemnification will not
be provided unless it has been determined by a court or other body approving the
settlement or other disposition, or by a reasonable determination, based upon a
review of readily available facts, by vote of a majority of disinterested
Trustees or in a written opinion of independent counsel, that such officers or
Trustees have not engaged in wilful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or
reckless disregard of their duties.

TAXATION

Diversified Investors Portfolios is organized as a New York trust. The
Trust and each Series are not subject to any income or franchise tax in the
State of New York or the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. However, each investor
in a Series will be taxable on its share (as determined in accordance with the
governing instruments of the Trust) of the Series' ordinary income and capital
gain in determining its income tax liability. The determination of such share
will be made in accordance with the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Each Series, since it is taxed as a partnership, is not subject to federal
income taxation. Instead, and investor must take into account, in computing its
federal income tax liability, its share of the Series' income, gains, losses,
deductions, credits and tax preference items, without regard to whether it has
received any cash distributions from the Series.

Withdrawals by investors from each Series generally will not result in
their recognizing any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes, except that
(1) gain will be recognized to the extent that any cash distributed exceeds the
basis of the investor's interest in the Series prior to the distribution, (2)
income

27
<PAGE> 81

or gain will be realized if the withdrawal is in liquidation of the investor's
entire interest in the Series and includes a disproportionate share of any
unrealized receivables held by the Series, and (3) loss will be recognized if
the distribution is in liquidation of that entire interest and consists solely
of cash and/or unrealized receivables. The basis of an investor's interest in a
Series generally equals the amount of cash and the basis of any property that
the investor invests in the Series, increased by the investor's share of income
from the Series and decreased by the amount of any cash distributions and the
basis of any property distributed from the Series.

Each Series' taxable year-end will be December 31. Although, as described
above, the Series will not be subject to federal income tax, each will file
appropriate income tax returns.

It is intended that each Series' assets, income and distributions will be
managed in such a way that an investor in each Series will be able to satisfy
the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code.

HEDGING STRATEGIES

The use of hedging strategies, such as a Series' entering into interest
rate futures contracts and purchasing options thereon, involves complex rules
that will determine for income tax purposes the character and timing of
recognition of the income received in connection therewith. Income from the
disposition of futures contracts and options thereon will be subject to the
limitation that a Series must derive less than 30% of its gross income from the
sale or other disposition of securities, options or futures contracts held for
less than three months (the "Short-Short Limitation").

If certain requirements are satisfied, any increase in value on a position
that is part of a "designated hedge" will be offset by an decrease in value
(whether realized or not) of the offsetting hedging position during the period
of the hedge for purposes of determining whether the Short-Short Limitation is
satisfied. Thus, only the net gain (if any) from the designated hedge will be
included in gross income for purposes of that limitation. Each Series intends to
qualify for this treatment when it engages in hedging transactions, but at the
present time it is not clear whether this treatment will be available for all of
a Series' hedging transactions. To the extent this treatment is not available, a
Series may be forced to defer the closing out of certain options and futures
contracts beyond the time when it otherwise would be advantageous to do so, in
order for an investor in the Series to qualify as a Regulated Investment
Company.

OTHER TAXATION

The investment by an investor in a Series does not cause the investor to be
liable for any income or franchise tax in the State of New York. Investors are
advised to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the particular tax
consequences to them of an investment in a Series.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF MONY

The financial statements of MONY that are included in this Statement of
Additional Information are different from the financial statements of Keynote.
The financial statements of MONY should be considered only as bearing upon the
ability of MONY to meet its obligations under the Contracts and should not be
considered as bearing on the investment performance of the assets held in
Keynote.

APPENDIX

BOND AND COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

STANDARD & POOR'S BOND RATINGS

A Standard & Poor's corporate debt rating is a current assessment of the
creditworthiness of an obligor with respect to a specific obligation. Debt rated
"AAA" has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's. Capacity to pay
interest and repay principal is extremely strong. Debt rated "AA" has a very
strong capacity to pay interest and to repay principal and differs from the
highest rated issues only in small degree.

The rating "AA" may be modified by the addition of a plus or minus sign to
show relative standing within such category.

MOODY'S BOND RATINGS

Excerpts from Moody's description of its corporate bond ratings: Aaa -
judged to be the best quality, carry the smallest degree of investment risk; Aa
- -judged to be of high quality by all standards.

FITCH INVESTORS SERVICE BOND RATINGS

AAA. Securities of this rating are regarded as strictly high-grade,
broadly marketable, suitable for investment by trustees and fiduciary
institutions, an liable to but slight market fluctuation other than through
changes in the money rate. The factor last named is of importance varying with
the length of maturity. Such securities are mainly senior issues of strong
companies, and are most numerous in the railway and public utility fields,
though some industrial obligations have this rating. The prime feature of an AAA
rating is showing of earnings several times or many times interest requirements
with such stability of applicable earnings that safety is beyond reasonable
question whatever changes occur in conditions. Other features may enter in, such
as a wide margin of protection through collateral security or direct lien on
specific property as in the case of high class equipment certificates or bonds
that are first mortgages on valuable real estate. Sinking funds or voluntary
reduction of the debt by call or purchase are often factors, while guarantee or
assumption by parties other than the original debtor may also influence the
rating.

AA. Securities in this group are of safety virtually beyond question, and
as a class are readily salable while many are highly active. Their merits are
not greatly unlike those of the AAA class, but a security so rated may be of
junior though strong lien--in many cases directly following an AAA security--or
the margin of safety is less strikingly broad. The issue may be the obligation
of a small company, strongly secured but influenced as to ratings by the lesser
financial power of the enterprise and more local type of market.

STANDARD & POOR'S COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

A is the highest commercial paper rating category utilized by S&P, which
uses the numbers 1+, 1, 2 and 3 to denote relative strength within its A
classification. Commercial paper issues rated A by S&P have the following
characteristics: Liquidity ratios are better than industry average. Long-term
debt rating is A or better. The issuer has access to at least two additional
channels of borrowing. Basic earnings and cash flow are in an upward trend.
Typically, the issuer is a strong company in a well-established industry and has
superior management.

A-1 MOODY'S COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

Issuers rated Prime-1 (or related supporting institutions) have a superior
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. Prime-1 repayment
capacity will normally be evidenced by the following characteristics: leading
market positions in well-established industries; high rates of return on funds
employed; conservative capitalization structures with moderate reliance on debt
and ample asset

A-1
<PAGE> 83

protection; broad margins in earnings coverage of fixed financial charges and
high internal cash generation; well-established access to a range of financial
markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.

Issuers rated Prime-2 (or related supporting institutions) have a strong
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. This will normally
be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser degree.
Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject to
variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more
affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

Issuers rated Prime-3 (or related supporting institutions) have an
acceptable capacity for repayment of short term promissory obligations. The
effect of industry characteristics and market composition may be more
pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result in changes in
the level of debt protection measurements and the requirement for relatively
high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is maintained.

FITCH-1, FITCH-2, DUFF 1 AND DUFF 2 COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

Commercial paper rated "Fitch-1" is considered to be the highest grade
paper and is regarded as having the strongest degree of assurance for timely
payment. "Fitch-2" is considered very good grade paper and reflects an assurance
of timely payment only slightly less in degree than the strongest issue.

Commercial paper issues rate "Duff 1" by Duff & Phelps, Inc. have the
following characteristics: very high certainty of timely payment, excellent
liquidity factors supported by strong fundamental protection factors, and risk
factors which are very small. Issues rated "Duff 2" have a good certainty of
timely payment, sound liquidity factors and company fundamentals, small risk
factors, and good access to capital markets.

ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION

The By-Laws of The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York provide, in
Article XVI, as follows:

Each person (and the heirs, executors and administrators of such
person) made or threatened to be made a party to any action, civil or
criminal, by reason of being or having been a trustee, officer, or employee
of the corporation (or by reason of serving any other organization at the
request of the corporation) shall be indemnified to the extent permitted by
the law of the State of New York and in the manner prescribed therein. To
this end, and as authorized by Chapter 513, 1986 Laws of New York, the
Board of Trustees may adopt all resolutions, authorize all agreements and
take all actions with respect to the indemnification of trustees and
officers, and the advance payment of their expenses in connection
therewith.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 ("1933 Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons, if any, of the Registrant pursuant to the above paragraph, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person, if any, of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will
(unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 29. PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITERS

(a) MONY Securities Corp. ("MSC") is the principal underwriter of the
Registrant. The names, titles and principal business addresses of the officers
