The discussion under "RICK FACTORS" is amended by adding the following test:
Hong Kong is scheduled to revert to the sovereignty of China on July 1, 1997.
As with any major political transfer of power, this could result in political,
social economic, market or other developments in Hong Kong, China or other
countries that could affect the value of Fund investments.
