Dear Variable Life Select Policyowner:

The information below supplements Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company's
Variable Life Select Prospectus dated July 24, 1995. Please place this
supplement with your prospectus and retain it for future reference.

VARIABLE LIFE SELECT
Supplement dated September 14, 1995
to the Prospectus dated July 24, 1995

The following should be read in conjunction with the information under the
heading MassMutual on page 9 of the Variable Life Select Prospectus:

As of September 13, 1995, the Boards of Directors of Massachusetts Mutual Life
Insurance Company and Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company had approved the
merger of Connecticut Mutual into MassMutual. The companies plan to execute a
definitive merger agreement in the near future. The merger is subject to
certain conditions, including member and regulatory approvals and is expected to
be completed as soon thereafter as possible. As a result of the merger,
MassMutual would become the nation's fifth largest mutual life insurance company
with estimated consolidated assets of $49 billion and estimated consolidated
contingency reserves of $2.5 billion. The companies believe that the merger of
MassMutual and Connecticut Mutual would be in the best interests of
policyholders because the combined enterprise will enjoy a strong capital
position, a diverse product portfolio and a competitive cost structure. The
merger will not affect any terms of contracts issued by MassMutual.

FLEXIBLE PREMIUM VARIABLE WHOLE LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES*

ISSUED BY

MASSACHUSETTS MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

This Prospectus describes a flexible premium variable whole life insurance
policy (the "Policy") offered by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company
("MassMutual"). The Policy, for so long as it remains in force, provides
lifetime insurance protection on the Insured named in the Policy. The Policy is
designed to provide maximum flexibility in connection with premium payments and
Death Benefits by permitting the Policyowner, subject to certain restrictions,
to vary the frequency and amount of Planned Premium Payments and to increase or
decrease the Death Benefit payable under the Policy. This flexibility allows a
Policyowner to provide for changing insurance needs under a single insurance
policy. A Policy may also be surrendered for its Cash Surrender Value.

The Policyowner may allocate Net Premiums and Account Value among the divisions
(the "Divisions") of the designated segment of Massachusetts Mutual Variable
Life Separate Account I (the "Separate Account") and a Guaranteed Principal
Account (the "GPA"). The assets of each Division will be used to purchase, at
net asset value, shares of a designated investment fund. Currently, the
available funds include the following funds of either MML Series Investment Fund
(the "MML Trust") or Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds (the "Oppenheimer
Trust"):

MML Trust: Oppenheimer Trust:
--------- -----------------
MML Equity Fund Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund
MML Money Market Fund Oppenheimer Global Securities Fund
MML Managed Bond Fund Oppenheimer Growth Fund
MML Blend Fund Oppenheimer Strategic Bond Fund

The Policyowner bears the investment risk of any Account Value allocated to the
Separate Account. The Death Benefit may, and the Cash Surrender Value will, vary
up and down depending on the investment performance of the Divisions. While
there is no guaranteed minimum Cash Surrender Value for funds invested in the
Separate Account, a Policy's Death Benefit will never be less than the Selected
Face Amount less any Policy Debt and any unpaid Monthly Charges. Furthermore,
the Policy will not lapse provided there are sufficient funds available to pay
certain monthly charges.

All Policies are serviced through MassMutual's Home Office, located at 1295
State Street, Springfield, Massachusetts 01111-0001. The telephone number is
(413) 788-8411.

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE
ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A
CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

THIS PROSPECTUS IS VALID ONLY WHEN ACCOMPANIED BY THE PROSPECTUSES FOR MML
SERIES INVESTMENT FUND AND OPPENHEIMER VARIABLE ACCOUNT FUNDS.

THIS PROSPECTUS SHOULD BE READ AND RETAINED FOR FURTHER REFERENCE.

THE PURPOSE OF THE POLICY WE ARE OFFERING IS TO PROVIDE INSURANCE PROTECTION FOR
THE BENEFICIARY OF A POLICY. WE DO NOT CLAIM THAT THE POLICY IS IN ANY WAY
SIMILAR TO OR COMPARABLE WITH A MUTUAL FUND'S SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN.

REPLACING EXISTING INSURANCE WITH THE POLICY DESCRIBED IN THIS PROSPECTUS MAY
NOT BE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE.

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of, or solicitation of, an offer to
acquire any interest or participation in the flexible premium variable life
insurance policies offered by this Prospectus in any jurisdiction to anyone to
whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction.

I. Summary Of The Policy

This summary is intended to provide a brief overview of the more significant
aspects of the Policy. Further detail is provided elsewhere in this Prospectus.
Additionally, You should consult Your Policy for a further understanding of its
terms and conditions.

The Policy

The Policy is a life insurance contract providing a death benefit, cash values,
surrender rights, policy loan privileges, and other features traditionally
associated with life insurance. It provides that the Policyowner may, subject
to certain limitations, make premium payments in any amount and at any frequency
while the Insured is living.

The Policy is a "flexible premium" policy because, unlike traditional insurance
policies, there is no fixed schedule of premium payments. Although the
Policyowner may establish a schedule of premium payments ("Planned Premium
Payments"), failure to make a Planned Premium Payment will not necessarily cause
a Policy to lapse nor will making the Planned Premium payments guarantee that a
Policy will remain in force. Thus, a Policyowner may, but is not required to,
pay additional premiums after making an initial premium payment. This
flexibility permits a Policyowner to provide for changing insurance needs within
a single insurance policy.

The Policy is "variable" because, unlike the fixed benefits of traditional
insurance policies, the Death Benefits may, and the Cash Surrender Value most
likely will, vary in relation to the investment experience of the Divisions to
which a Policyowner has allocated Net Premiums. Additionally, the GPA's
crediting rate, although it will not go below 3%, may be adjusted periodically.

The Policy will enter a grace period when the Account Value less any Policy Debt
is insufficient to pay the Monthly Charges on a particular Monthly Calculation
Date. At the beginning of the grace period, We will mail You a notice stating
the amount of premium needed to cover the difference between the Account Value,
less any Policy Debt, and the Monthly Charges. During the grace period, the
Policy remains in force. The grace period ends the later of 61 days after the
Monthly Calculation Date on which the Account Value, less any Policy Debt is
insufficient to pay the Monthly Charges, or 30 days after We mail the notice. If
the required premium is not paid within the grace period, the Policy will lapse
and terminate without value.

The Separate Account And The
Guaranteed Principal Account

The Policyowner may allocate Net Premiums to one or more Divisions and to the
GPA. Each Division invests in shares of a designated fund. Currently these
funds include the following MML Trust and Oppenheimer Trust Funds:

MML Trust Oppenheimer Trust
--------- -----------------
MML Equity Fund Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund
MML Money Market Fund Oppenheimer Growth Fund
MML Managed Bond Fund Oppenheimer Global Securities Fund
MML Blend Fund Oppenheimer Strategic Bond Fund

Although a Policy has no guaranteed minimum Cash Surrender Value for amounts
invested in the Separate Account, the Death Benefit will not be less than the
Selected Face Amount so long as the Policy has not lapsed. Furthermore, the
Policy will not lapse while there is sufficient value to cover applicable
Monthly Charges.

Availability Of The Policy

The Policy may be issued on an Insured up to [or through] Issue Age 80. The
minimum Selected Face Amount is $50,000. Before issuing the Policy, MassMutual
will require satisfactory evidence of insurability, which may include a medical
examination.

The Death Benefit

While the Policy remains in force, MassMutual will pay the Death Benefit of the
Policy to the Beneficiary upon receipt of due proof of the death of the Insured.
The Death Benefit will be the amount of the benefit provided under the Death
Benefit Option then in effect, reduced by any Policy Debt and any unpaid Monthly
Charges.

The Policy provides a choice of two Death Benefit Options. The benefit
provided under Option 1 is the Policy's Selected Face Amount or, if greater, the
Policy's Minimum Face Amount. The benefit provided under Option 2 is the sum of
the Policy's Selected Face Amount and the Account Value or, if greater, the
Policy's Minimum Face Amount.

In order for the Policy to qualify as life insurance under current federal tax
laws, the Policy must have a Minimum Face Amount. The Minimum Face Amount is
equal to an applicable percentage of the Account Value. The applicable
percentages depend on the sex, smoking classification, and Attained Age of the
Insured, and are set forth in the Policy.

Flexibility To Adjust The
Amount Of Death Benefit

Subject to certain restrictions, the Policyowner may request a change in the
Death Benefit Option or an increase or decrease in the Selected Face Amount of
the Policy.

After the first Policy Year, the Policyowner may change the Death Benefit
Option. Changes from Option 2 to Option 1 may be made without submitting
satisfactory evidence of insurability. Changes from Option 1 to Option 2,
however, will require evidence of insurability satisfactory to MassMutual. To
cover the cost of processing this type of change, a $75 charge is deducted on a
pro rata basis among the Divisions and the GPA. The Policyowner may not change
from Option 1 to Option 2 after reaching Attained Age 80.

7
<PAGE>

Additional evidence of insurability is required for an increase in the Selected
Face Amount. An increase cannot be for less than $15,000 and will not be
permitted after the Insured reaches an Attained Age of 80. To cover the cost of
processing a requested increase, a $75 charge is deducted, on a pro rata basis
among the Divisions and the GPA, from the Account Value.

Decreases in coverage are allowed after the first Policy Year, although
MassMutual believes such decreases are not in the best interest of a
Policyowner. A decrease will not be allowed if the Death Benefit Option amount
would fall below $50,000. A decrease may result in the imposition of surrender
charges applied on a pro-rata basis among the Divisions and the GPA on the
effective date of the increase.

Premium Features

MassMutual requires You to pay a minimum initial premium. Thereafter, subject to
certain limitations, You may pay premiums at any time and in any amount.

When applying for a Policy, You select a planned annual premium and a payment
frequency. According to this schedule, MassMutual will send You a premium
notice. You may change the Planned Premium and payment frequency by sending a
written notice requesting such change to our Home Office.

There is no penalty if the Planned Premium is not paid, nor does payment of the
Planned Premium guarantee coverage for any period of time. Instead, the
duration of the Policy depends upon the Policy's Account Value. Even if Planned
Premiums are paid, the Policy will lapse whenever the Account Value less Policy
Debt becomes insufficient to pay current Monthly Charges and a grace period
expires without sufficient payment.

Transfers

By written request, You may transfer all or part of the value of Your
Accumulation Units in a Division to one or more other Divisions or to the GPA.
Although under current practice we impose no limitations on your right to make
transfers, we reserve the right to limit transfers to not more than one every 90
days to comply with Section 404(c) of ERISA. Any limitation would not apply to
a transfer of the entire Variable Account Value to the GPA and to automated
transfers in connection with any program we have put in place.

Transfers of values from the GPA to the Separate Account are limited to one per
Policy Year. Any transfer from the GPA to a Division cannot exceed 25% of the
Fixed Account Value (less any Policy Debt) at the time of the transfer.

Charges And Deductions

Deductions from Premiums. A Sales Charge and a Premium Tax Charge will be
deducted from each premium payment prior to allocation to the Separate Account
and GPA. The Sales Charge is 2.0% of premium payments and the Premium Tax Charge
is 2.0% of premium payments. The Premium Tax Charge is intended to compensate
MassMutual for taxes imposed by various states and local jurisdictions on
MassMutual's receipt of premiums from Policyowners. Premium taxes vary from
state to state, and, in some instances, among localities; the range of premium
taxes is .75% to 3.5%. The 2.0% rate approximates the average tax rate expected
to be paid on premiums from all states. The Premium Tax Charge may be higher or
lower than the actual premium tax imposed by the jurisdiction in which the
Policy is written. MassMutual does not expect to make a profit from this charge.
MassMutual currently intends to waive both charges after Policy Year 20;
however, MassMutual reserves the right not to waive the charge(s), or to
reimpose such charge(s) after initially waiving such charges.

Monthly Charges. On each Monthly Calculation Date, the Account Value will be
reduced by a Monthly Charge, consisting of an Administrative Charge, a Mortality
Charge and a charge for any additional benefits added by Rider. The
Administrative Charge is currently $6 and it is guaranteed not to exceed $9.
The Mortality Charge will be determined by multiplying the "amount at risk under
the Policy" (that is, the Death Benefit, discounted at the monthly equivalent
rate of 3% per year, less the Account Value) by the monthly mortality rate,
which will depend on the sex, rate class and Issue Age of the Insured, the
duration of the Policy, and MassMutual's expectations as to future mortality and
expense experience. The monthly mortality rates will not exceed the guaranteed
maximum monthly mortality rates set forth in the Policy which are based on the
sex, rate class, and Attained Age of the Insured and the "1980 Commissioners
Standard Ordinary Mortality Table."

Surrender Charge. During the first 15 Policy Years and during the first 15
years following any increase in the Selected Face Amount, MassMutual will impose
a Surrender Charge if the Policyowner surrenders the Policy or decreases the
Selected Face Amount under the Policy. The surrender charge has two parts - an
Administrative Surrender Charge and a Sales Load Surrender Charge.

Administrative Surrender Charge. This charge is $5 for each $1,000 of Selected
Face Amount. It remains level for the first five Policy Years, then grades down
to zero over the next five policy years. This charge reimburses MassMutual for
expenses incurred in issuing the Policy (or increase in the Selected Face
Amount), such as processing the applications (including underwriting) and
setting up computer records. It is not designed to produce a profit.

Sales Load Surrender Charge. This charge is equal to 26% of the premiums paid
up to the Surrender Charge Band, plus 4% of premiums paid in excess of the
Surrender Charge Band but less than three times the Surrender Charge Band. The
Surrender Charge Band is set forth in the Policy and is an amount generally
calculated on the basis of the Selected Face Amount and varies by the age and
sex of the Insured at the time of purchase.

Example of Surrender Charge Bands per $1,000
Age 25 Age 40 Age 55
$6.26 $9.91 $28.49

The Sales Load Surrender Charge remains level for the first 10 years, then
grades down to zero over the next five Policy Years in accordance with the
percentages set forth in the Policy.

8
<PAGE>

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. MassMutual assesses a charge against each of
the Divisions for the mortality and expense risk it assumes. Currently, the
charge is equal, on an annual basis, to 0.55% of the daily net asset value of
the Separate Account. MassMutual reserves the right to increase the charge up
to a maximum effective annual rate of 0.90%. This charge is not deducted from
the GPA.

Other Charges. If the Policyowner requests and MassMutual accepts an increase
in Selected Face Amount or a change in the Death Benefit Option from Option 1 to
Option 2, a charge of $75 will be deducted from the Account Value on the
effective date of the increase or option change to cover processing costs.

Policy Loan Privilege

After the first Policy Year (or sooner if required by law), the Policyowner may
at any time borrow from the Policy an amount up to 90% of the Account Value less
any Surrender Charge, reduced by any outstanding Policy Debt.

At time of application, the Policyowner may elect a fixed loan rate of 6% or (in
all jurisdictions except Arkansas) an adjustable loan rate, based on the monthly
average of the corporate yield on seasoned corporate bonds as published by
Moody's Investors Service, Inc.

If interest is not paid when due, it will be added to the outstanding loan
balance. The capitalization of unpaid loan interest may have tax consequences
upon surrender or lapse of the Policy (See Policy Proceeds, Premiums and Loans,
page 24). Policy loans may be repaid at any time while the Insured is living.

Surrender Of The Policy

The Policyowner may at any time fully surrender the Policy and receive its Cash
Surrender Value. The Cash Surrender Value will equal the Account Value less any
applicable Surrender Charge and less any Policy Debt and any unpaid Monthly
Charges. Surrender of the Policy with outstanding Policy Debt may have tax
consequences. (See Policy Proceeds, Premiums and Loans, page 24.)

Withdrawal Of Cash
Surrender Value

After the first Policy Year, the Policyowner may, subject to certain
restrictions, request a withdrawal of up to 75% of the Policy's Cash Surrender
Value. For each withdrawal, a fee of $25 (or 2% of the amount withdrawn, if
less) is deducted from the amount withdrawn. This fee is guaranteed not to
increase for the duration of the Policy and is intended to compensate MassMutual
for processing associated with the withdrawal. MassMutual does not intend to
make a profit from this fee. The minimum amount of a withdrawal is $100 (before
deducting the withdrawal fee). If Death Benefit Option 1 is in effect,
MassMutual will reduce the Selected Face Amount by the amount of the withdrawal
unless satisfactory evidence of insurability is provided. A surrender charge is
not assessed if a withdrawal is taken. Withdrawal of the Cash Surrender Value
may have tax consequences. (See Policy Proceeds, Premiums and Loans, page 24.)

II. Information About
MassMutual And The Separate
Account

MassMutual

Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company ("MassMutual"), a mutual life
insurance company, was chartered in Massachusetts in 1851. MassMutual's home
office is located in Springfield, Massachusetts. MassMutual had total
consolidated assets of over $35.7 billion as of December 31, 1994. It is
authorized to transact life, health, and accident business in all states.
Additionally, it is licensed to transact all such businesses, except variable
life business in the District of Columbia. MassMutual (or its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Concert Capital Management, Inc. "Concert Capital") serves as
investment advisor to the MML Trust.

Oppenheimer
Management Corporation

Oppenheimer Management Corporation ("OMC") is an investment advisor organized
under the laws of Colorado as a corporation; it was initially organized in 1959.
It (including a subsidiary) advises U.S. investment companies with assets
aggregating over $29 billion as of December 31, 1994, and with more than 2.4
million shareholder accounts. OMC is owned by Oppenheimer Acquisition
Corporation, a holding company owned in part by senior management of OMC and
ultimately controlled by MassMutual. OMC serves as investment advisor to the
Oppenheimer Trust.

The Separate Account

The Separate Account was established on July 13, 1988, as a separate investment
account of MassMutual by MassMutual's Board of Directors in accordance with the
provisions of Chapter 132G of Chapter 175 of the Massachusetts General Laws.
The Separate Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
as a unit investment trust pursuant to the provisions of the Investment Company
Act of 1940. Registration does not involve supervision of the management or
investment practices of either the Separate Account or of MassMutual. Under
Massachusetts law, however, both MassMutual and the Separate Account are subject
to regulation by the Division of Insurance of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The Separate Account meets the definition of a "Separate Account" under the
federal securities laws.

MassMutual owns the assets in the Separate Account and is required to maintain
sufficient assets in the Separate Account to meet anticipated obligations of the
Policies funded by the Separate Account. The Separate Account is divided into
subaccounts called Divisions. The income, gains, or losses, realized or
unrealized, of each Division are credited to or charged against the assets held
in the Division without regard to the other income, gains, or losses of
MassMutual. Assets in the

9
<PAGE>

Separate Account attributable to the reserves and other liabilities under the
Policies are not chargeable with liabilities arising from any other business
conducted by MassMutual. MassMutual may transfer to its General Account,
however, any assets which exceed anticipated obligations of the Separate
Account. All obligations arising under the Policy are general corporate
obligations of MassMutual. MassMutual may accumulate in the Separate Account
proceeds from various Policy charges and investment results applicable to those
assets.

The Separate Account is currently divided into eight Divisions. Each Division
invests in a corresponding series of shares of a designated Fund of either MML
Trust or Oppenheimer Trust. MassMutual may in the future establish additional
divisions within the Separate Account, which may invest in other investment
funds, including those of MML Trust or Oppenheimer Trust, or in any other
investment fund MassMutual deems to be appropriate.

MML Trust And
Oppenheimer Trust

The MML Trust and the Oppenheimer Trust are open-end, diversified, management
investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

MassMutual established the MML Trust for the purpose of providing a vehicle for
the investment of assets of various separate investment accounts, including the
Separate Account, established by MassMutual and other life insurance company
subsidiaries of MassMutual. Similarly, OMC established the Oppenheimer Trust to
provide an investment vehicle for the separate investment accounts of variable
life and variable annuity contracts offered by companies such as MassMutual.
Shares of the MML Trust and the Oppenheimer Trust are not offered to the general
public.

The assets of certain variable annuity separate accounts for which MassMutual or
an affiliate is the depositor are invested in shares of the MML Trust's Funds.
Because these separate accounts are invested in the same underlying MML Funds,
it is possible that material irreconcilable conflicts could arise between
Policyowners and owners of the variable annuity contracts. Possible conflicts
could arise if: (i) state insurance regulators should disapprove or require
changes in investment policies, investment advisors or principal underwriters or
if MassMutual should be permitted to act contrary to actions approved by holders
of the Policies under rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission; (ii)
adverse tax treatment of the Policies or the variable annuity contracts would
result from utilizing the same underlying funds; (iii) different investment
strategies would be more suitable for the variable annuity contracts than for
the Policies; or (iv) state insurance laws or regulations or other applicable
laws would prohibit the funding of both the Separate Account and other
investment accounts by the same Funds. The Board of Trustees of the Trust will
follow monitoring procedures which have been developed to determine whether
material conflicts have arisen. Such Board will have a majority of trustees who
are not interested persons of the Trust or MassMutual and determinations whether
or not a material conflict exists will be made by a majority of such
disinterested trustees. If a material irreconcilable conflict exists,
MassMutual will take such action at its own expense as may be required to cause
the Separate Account to be invested solely in shares of mutual funds which offer
their shares exclusively to variable life insurance separate accounts unless, in
certain cases, the holders of both the Policies and the variable annuity
contracts vote not to effect such segregation.

MassMutual purchases the shares of each Fund for the corresponding Division at
net asset value. All dividends and capital gain distributions received from a
Fund are automatically reinvested in such Fund at net asset value, unless
MassMutual, on behalf of the Separate Account, elects otherwise. Shares of the
MML Trust and the Oppenheimer Trust will be redeemed by MassMutual at their net
asset value to the extent necessary to make payments under the Policies.

The following is a summary of the investment objective of each Fund. Please
note that there can be no assurance that any Fund will achieve its objectives.
More detailed information concerning these investment objectives is contained in
the accompanying prospectuses of the MML Trust and Oppenheimer Trust, including
information on the risks associated with the investments and investment
techniques of each of the Funds.

THE PROSPECTUSES FOR MML TRUST AND OPPENHEIMER TRUST ACCOMPANYING THIS
PROSPECTUS SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INVESTING.

MML Equity Fund

MML Equity Fund seeks to achieve a superior total rate of return over an
extended period of time from both capital appreciation and current income. A
secondary objective is the preservation of capital when business and economic
conditions indicate that investing for defensive purposes is appropriate. This
Fund normally invests primarily in equity-type securities, including common
stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, and warrants.

MML Money Market Fund

MML Money Market Fund seeks to achieve high current income, while preserving
capital, and liquidity. This Fund invests in short-term debt instruments,
including but not limited to commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers'
acceptances, and obligations of the United States government, its agencies and
instrumentalities.

MML Managed Bond Fund

MML Managed Bond Fund seeks to achieve as high a total rate of return on an
annual basis as is considered consistent with the preservation of capital
values. This Fund invests primarily in publicly issued, readily marketable,
fixed income securities of such maturities as MassMutual deems appropriate from
time to time in light of market conditions and prospects.

MML Blend Fund

MML Blend Fund seeks to achieve as high a level of total rate of return over an
extended period of time as is considered consistent with prudent investment risk
and the preservation of capital values. This Fund invests in a portfolio of
common stocks and other equity-type securities, bonds and other debt

10
<PAGE>

securities with maturities generally exceeding one year, and money market
instruments and other debt securities with maturities generally not exceeding
one year.

Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund

Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund seeks capital appreciation. The type of
securities in which this Fund invests will be primarily common stocks, as well
as securities having the investment characteristics of common stocks, such as
convertible preferred stock and convertible bonds. In seeking this objective
the Fund will emphasize investment in securities of "growth-type" companies.
Such companies are believed to have relatively favorable long-term prospects for
an increased demand for the particular companies, products or services.

Oppenheimer Global Securities Fund

Oppenheimer Global Securities Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through
investing a substantial portion of its invested assets in securities of foreign
issuers, growth-type companies and special investment opportunities, such as
anticipated acquisitions, mergers or other unusual developments, which are
considered by OMC, in its capacity as investment manager of the Funds, to have
appreciation possibilities. The type of securities in which this Fund invests
will be primarily common stocks, as well as securities having the investment
characteristics of common stocks, such as convertible preferred stock,
convertible bonds and American Depository Receipts. Current income is not an
investment objective of the Oppenheimer Global Securities Fund.

Oppenheimer Growth Fund

Oppenheimer Growth Fund seeks to achieve capital appreciation by investing in
securities of well-known established companies (securities which have a history
of earnings and dividends, and are issued by seasoned companies, namely those
having an operating history of at least five years, including predecessors).
The type of securities in which this Fund invests will be primarily common
stocks, as well as securities having the investment characteristics of common
stocks, such as convertible preferred stock and convertible bonds.

Oppenheimer Strategic Bond Fund

Oppenheimer Strategic Bond Fund seeks a high level of current income principally
derived from interest on debt securities and seeks to enhance such income by
writing covered call options on debt securities. The Fund invests principally
in: (i) foreign government and corporate debt securities; (ii) U.S. Government
securities; and (iii) lower-rated, high-risk high-yield debt securities. This
Fund's investments may be considered to be speculative.

For information concerning the risks associated with this Fund's investments,
please refer to the accompanying prospectus for the Oppenheimer Trust.

The Investment Advisors And Portfolio Managers

MassMutual serves as investment manager of each of the MML Funds pursuant to
investment management agreements. Pursuant to such agreements, MassMutual is
paid a quarterly fee at the annual rate of 0.50% of the first $100,000,000 of
the Fund's average daily net asset value, 0.45% of the next $200,000,000, 0.40%
of the next $200,000,000 and 0.35% of any excess over $500,000,000. Concert
Capital, pursuant to an Investment Sub-advisory Agreement, serves as the
investment sub-advisor for MML Equity Fund and for the assets of the Equity
Sector of MML Blend Fund.

OMC receives a monthly management fee in its capacity as investment advisor to
the Oppenheimer Funds. This fee is computed separately on the net assets of
each Fund as of the close of each business day. Except as stated below, the
management fee rate is .75% of the first $200 million of net assets, .72% of the
next $200 million, .69% of the next $200 million, .66% of the next 200 million
and .60% of net assets in excess of $800 million. Strategic Bond Fund's
management fee rate is .75% on the first $200 million of net assets, .72% on the
next $200 million, .69% on the next $200 million, .66% on the next $200 million,
.60% on the next $200 million, and .50% of net assets in excess of $1 billion.

Citibank N.A., New York, New York, acts as custodian for the MML Trust. Bank of
New York, New York, New York acts as custodian for the Oppenheimer Trust.

MassMutual is also the investment advisor to MassMutual Corporate Investors and
MassMutual Participation Investors, closed-end investment companies, certain
wholly-owned subsidiaries of MassMutual, and various employee benefit plans.
MassMutual is the investment sub-advisor to Oppenheimer Investment Grade Bond
Fund and Oppenheimer Value Stock Fund, open-end management investment companies.

Rates of Return. The following tables show the Effective Annual Rates of Return
based on the actual investment performance (after deduction of investment
management fees and direct operating expenses) of the Fund underlying each
Division of the Separate Account. Tables I and II show figures for periods
ended December 31, 1994, while Tables III and IV show annualized figures. These
rates do not reflect the mortality and expense risk charges assessed against the
Separate Account. Also, they do not reflect deductions from premiums or Monthly
Charges assessed against the Account Value of the Policies, nor do they reflect
the Policy's Surrender Charges. (For a discussion of these charges, please see
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS). Therefore, these rates are not illustrative of how
actual investment performance will affect the benefits under the Policy (see,
however, Performance Illustration). The rates of return shown are not
necessarily indicative of future performance. These rates of return may be
considered, however, in assessing the competence and performance of MassMutual
and OMC as investment advisors. An individualized hypothetical illustration may
be avail-
11

able. An individualized hypothetical illustration is a document that shows how
Death Benefits and Cash Surrender Values will develop based on certain
assumptions. The assumptions used are the sex, Issue Age, rate class and
contract state of the applicant, and the Death Benefit Option and premium
frequency proposed by the registered representative or the applicant. The
individualized hypothetical illustrations reflect both current and guaranteed
charges and all basic policy charges are reflected (rider charges may also be
reflected if so requested). These illustrations will also assume certain
interest rates within the limits prescribed by federal and state law. An
applicant or Policyowner may obtain an individualized hypothetical illustration
at no charge by requesting one from his registered representative or from
MassMutual at its Home Office.

OPPENHEIMER STRATEGIC BOND FUND

These illustrations are not indicative of future performance. They assume the
Policies were issued based on full underwriting and that there have been no
increases or decreases in Selected Face Amounts, no Policy loans and no
transaction charges incurred. Further, they assume that Death Benefit Option 1
was selected. The Cash Surrender Values shown reflect all Deductions from
Premiums, Charges, Surrender Charges, and Mortality and Expense Risk Charges.

Illustrations of Death Benefits, Cash Surrender Values and Accumulated Premiums
based on assumed hypothetical gross annual investment returns of 0%, 6% and 12%
are shown in APPENDIX A. APPENDIX A also describes, in more detail, the
assumptions underlying these illustrations.

III. Detailed Information
About The Policy

Availability Of Policy

Individuals wishing to purchase a Policy must send a completed application to
MassMutual's Home Office. Under our current rules, the minimum Selected Face
Amount of a Policy is $50,000. The Policy can be issued for Insureds with Issue
Ages 0 through 80. Before issuing a Policy, however, MassMutual will require
satisfactory evidence of insurability, which may include a medical examination.

The Policy is available to Policyowners who are purchasing a Policy in
connection with employee benefit plans which qualify for tax benefits under the
Internal Revenue Code (the "qualified market") and other Policyowners (the
"nonqualified market").

Unisex Policies

Policies issued in states requiring "unisex" policies (currently Montana;
MassMutual has retained "unisex" rates in Massachusetts where they were
previously required) provide for policy values which do not vary by the sex of
the Insured. In addition, Policies issued in conjunction with employee benefit
plans provide for policy values which do not vary by the sex of the insured.
Thus, references in this Prospectus to sex-distinct policy values which vary by
the sex of the Insured are not applicable to Policies issued in Montana or
Massachusetts, or issued in conjunction with employee benefit plans.
Illustrations showing the effect of these unisex rates on premiums, Cash
Surrender Values, and Death Benefits are available from MassMutual on request.

Death Benefit

As long as the Policy remains in force, MassMutual will, upon due proof of the
Insured's death, pay the Death Benefit of the Policy to the named Beneficiary.
Although MassMutual will normally pay the Death Benefit within seven days of
receiving satisfactory proof of the Insured's death, the Company may delay
payments under certain circumstances. All or part of the Death Benefit can be
paid in cash or under one or more of the payment options set forth in the
Policy.

The Death Benefit is the amount of the benefit provided under Death Benefit
Option 1 or Death Benefit Option 2, whichever is in effect on the date of the
Insured's death, less any outstanding Policy Debt and less any unpaid Monthly
Deduction.

Death Benefit Options. The Policyowner may choose one of two Death Benefit
Options: Option 1 (a level amount option) and Option 2 (a variable amount
option). The Policyowner designates the Death Benefit Option in the application
and may subsequently change the option subject to certain restrictions described
in CHANGES IN THE DEATH BENEFIT OPTION.

Options 1 and 2 provide the following benefits:

Option 1 - Under Option 1, the Account Value is included in the Selected Face
Amount. The benefit provided under Option 1 is the greater of: (a) the Selected
Face Amount on the date of death; and (b) the Minimum Face Amount on the date of
death of the Insured.

Option 2 - Under Option 2, the Account Value is not included in the Selected
Face Amount. The benefit provided under Option 2 is the greater of: (a) the
Selected Face Amount plus the Account Value on the date of death; and (b) the
Minimum Face Amount on the date of death of the Insured.

Minimum Face Amount. In order to qualify as life insurance under current federal
tax laws, the Policy has a Minimum Face Amount. The Minimum Face Amount is equal
to an applicable percentage of the Account Value. This applicable percentage
depends on the sex, smoking classification and Attained Age of the Insured. The
applicable percentages are set forth in the Policy.

The following examples illustrate how changes in the Account Value may affect
the Death Benefits under Options 1 and 2.

Example I

Assume that the Policyowner has selected Option 1 with a Selected Face Amount of
$100,000 and that the Account Value equals $5,000. The Death Benefit in this
case is $100,000. If the Account Value increases to $8,000, the Death Benefit
remains at $100,000. If the Account Value decreases to $3,000, the Death Benefit
still remains at $100,000.

Under Option 1, the Death Benefit will remain at the Selected Face Amount, in
this example $100,000, until the applicable percentage of the Account Value
exceeds the Selected Face Amount.

Example II

Assume the Policyowner has selected Option 2 with a Selected Face Amount of
$100,000 and the Account Value is equal to $5,000. The Death Benefit in this
case is $105,000 (Selected Face Amount plus Account Value). If the Account Value
increases to $8,000, the Death Benefit will increase to $108,000. If the
Account Value decreases to $3,000, the Death Benefit will decrease to $103,000.

Under Option 2, the Death Benefit will be the Selected Face Amount plus the
Account Value (only if greater than $0.00), until the Minimum Face Amount
exceeds the sum of the Selected Face Amount plus the Account Value.

If the Policyowner seeks to have premium payments and favorable investment
performance reflected partly in the form of an increasing Death Benefit, the
Policyowner should choose Option 2. If a Policyowner is satisfied with the
amount of the Insured's existing insurance coverage and instead seeks to have
premium payments and investment performance reflected to the maximum extent in
the Policy's Account Value, the Policyowner should choose Option 1.

Changes in Death Benefit Option. After the first Policy Year, the Policyowner
may change the Death Benefit Option. A change from Option 2 to Option 1 may be
made without submitting satisfactory evidence of insurability. A

17
<PAGE>

change from Option 1 to Option 2, however, will require evidence of insurability
satisfactory to MassMutual. In addition, a charge of $75 will be deducted from
the Account Value on the effective date of the change. This charge will be
deducted from the Division(s) and the GPA in proportion to the non-loaned values
in each Division(s) and the GPA. The Policyowner may not change from Option 1 to
Option 2 after reaching Attained Age 80. The effective date of any change will
be the Monthly Calculation Date on or which next follows the date MassMutual
approves the change.

A change in the Death Benefit Option will not in and of itself result in an
immediate change in the amount of a Policy's Death Benefit. For a change from
Option 2 to Option 1, the Selected Face Amount is increased by the amount of the
Account Value on the effective date of the change. For a change from Option 1
to Option 2, the Selected Face Amount will be decreased by the amount of Account
Value on the effective date of the change. This change will not be permitted if
it would reduce the Selected Face Amount below $50,000.

An increase or decrease in Selected Face Amount resulting from a change in the
Death Benefit Option will affect the Monthly Charges, as the monthly mortality
charge depends on the Selected Face Amount. The charge for certain additional
benefits may also be affected. The Surrender Charge, however, will not be
affected by an increase or decrease in Selected Face Amount resulting from a
change in the Death Benefit Option.

Changes in Selected Face Amount. The Policyowner may request an increase or
decrease in the Selected Face Amount subject to the approval of MassMutual. Any
request for an increase or decrease must be submitted in writing to MassMutual's
Home Office. It will become effective on the Monthly Calculation Date on or
which next follows MassMutual's acceptance of the request.

Increases in Selected Face Amount. For an increase in the Selected Face Amount,
MassMutual requires satisfactory evidence of insurability. An increase may not
be less than $15,000, and no increase will be permitted after Attained Age 80.
To cover the cost of processing the request, a charge of $75 will be deducted
from the Account Value on the effective date of the increase in the Selected
Face Amount. The charge will be deducted from the Divisions and the GPA in
proportion to the non-loaned value in each Division(s) and the GPA.

Decreases in Selected Face Amount. Decreases in coverage are allowed after the
first Policy Year, although MassMutual believes such decreases generally are not
in the best interests of a Policyowner. A decrease will not generally be
permitted if the Death Benefit Option amount would fall below $50,000. No
processing charge is applied to decreases in coverage.

A decrease may result in the imposition of Surrender Charges. (For a discussion
of the Surrender Charges associated with a decrease, see Surrender Charges).
Any Surrender Charge applicable to a decrease will be deducted from the
Division(s) and the GPA in proportion to the non-loaned values in each.

For purpose of determining Surrender Charges and mortality charges, a decrease
will reduce the Selected Face Amount in the following order: (a) the Selected
Face Amount provided by the most recent increase; (b) the Selected Face Amounts
provided by the next most recent increases successively; and finally (c) the
initial Selected Face Amount.

A decrease may result in the Policy becoming a "modified endowment contract"
(See Policy Proceeds, Premiums and Loans, page 24).

Premiums

Subject to certain limitations, the Policyowner has flexibility in determining
the frequency and amount of premium payments.

Premium Flexibility

Unlike traditional insurance policies, this Policy frees the Policyowner from
the requirement that premiums be paid in accordance with a rigid and inflexible
premium schedule. Instead, MassMutual requires a Policyowner to pay a minimum
initial premium at the time of application or at any time before delivery of the
Policy. After the first premium has been paid, subject to certain limitations,
premiums may be paid in any amount and at any interval.

The minimum initial premium depends on the planned frequency of premium
payments, and the Issue Age, sex, and rating class of the Insured, as well as
the initial Death Benefit Option and Selected Face Amount of the Policy.

Planned Annual Premium

When applying for a Policy, the Policyowner will select a planned annual premium
and payment frequency (annual, semiannual, quarterly, or monthly). The planned
annual premium is shown on the schedule page of the Policy. MassMutual will
send premium notices for the planned premium according to the amount and
frequency selected. The Policyowner may change the amount and frequency of
planned premiums at any time by sending written notice to MassMutual's Home
Office.

A Policyowner may elect to pay premiums by means of a pre-authorized check
procedure called MassMutual Monthly ("Triple M"). Under Triple M, premium
payments are deducted automatically on a monthly basis from a designated bank
account. A Policyowner does not receive a "bill" for these payments, and
confirmation of payments is provided in the Policy's quarterly statement.

There is no penalty if the planned premium is not paid, nor does payment of this
amount guarantee coverage for any period of time. Instead, the duration of the
Policy depends upon the Policy's Account Value. Even if planned premiums are
paid, the Policy terminates when the Account Value becomes insufficient to pay
the Monthly Charges and the grace period expires without sufficient payment.

Premium Limitations

The minimum premium payment is $10. The maximum premium which may be paid in any
Policy Year without evidence of insurability is the greater of: (a) the premium
which will not increase the net amount at risk under the Policy; (b) twice the
Policy's basic premium plus $100; (c) the annual premium

18
<PAGE>

paid in the preceding Policy Year; and (d) the minimum annual premium under a
Death Benefit Guarantee Rider, if part of the Policy. Premium payments should be
sent either to MassMutual's Home Office or to the address indicated on the
billing notice.

Allocation of Net Premium Payments. The Net Premium equals the premium paid
less the Premium Expense Charge. (See, Deductions from Premiums, page 20). In
the Application, the Policyowner indicates how Net Premiums are to be allocated
among the Divisions and the GPA. The allocation percentages must be in whole
numbers and the sum of the allocation percentages must equal 100%. During the
Free Look Period, New Premiums are allocated as requested by the Policyowner.
(See, Free Look Period, page 23).

The allocation percentages may be changed without charge at any time by
providing written notice to MassMutual's Home Office.

Transfers

By written request, the Policyowner may transfer all or part of the Variable
Value of a Division to any other Division or to the GPA. Although MassMutual
currently imposes no limitation of the right of the Insured to make transfers,
we reserve the right to limit transfers to not more than one every 90 days in
connection with compliance with Section 404(c) of ERISA. Any limitation would
not apply to a transfer of all funds in the Separate Account to the GPA and to
automated transfers made in connection with any program MassMutual has in place.

Transfers of values from the GPA to the Separate Account are limited to one each
Policy Year. Any transfer from the GPA cannot exceed 25% of the Fixed Account
Value (less any Policy Debt) at the time of the transfer.

Any transfer is effective on the Valuation Date on next or following the date we
receive a written request in good order at our Home Office. There are no
charges for transfers.

Dollar Cost Averaging

The Policyowner may specify a specific dollar amount to be periodically
transferred from any Division of the Separate Account to any combination of
Divisions and the GPA. Once elected, these transfers occur automatically. The
Policyowner will specify the specific dollar amounts to be transferred and the
Division to transfer money from, the Division(s) and/or GPA to transfer money
to, the date on which transfers will be made (subject to MassMutual rules), the
frequency of transfers, which may be either monthly, quarterly, semiannually or
annually, and the amount of time that such dollar cost averaging will continue.
The minimum allowable transfer to any Division or the GPA is $50. This process
is called Dollar Cost Averaging. Dollar Cost Averaging transfers are not
available for transfers from the GPA, but these transfers may be made into the
GPA. To elect Dollar Cost Averaging transfers, the Account Value in the
Division from which transfers will be made must be at least $5,000.

The main objective of Dollar Cost Averaging is to shield the Policyowner's
investment from short-term price fluctuations. Since the same dollar amount is
transferred to a Division with each transfer, more units are purchased in a
Division if the value per unit is low and fewer units are purchased if the value
per unit is high. Therefore, a lower than average cost per unit may be achieved
over the long term. This plan of investing allows investors to take advantage
of market fluctuations but does not assure a profit or protect against a loss in
declining markets.

MassMutual will make all Dollar Cost Averaging transfers either on the day of
each calendar month specified by the Policyowner, or on the next Business Day.
The Policyowner may specify any day of the month up through the 28th day. In
order to process a Dollar Cost Averaging transfer, MassMutual must have received
a request in writing no later than one week prior to the date Dollar Cost
Averaging transfers are to commence.

The Dollar Cost Averaging option can be started, changed or canceled at any
time; however, we must be given seven business days notice to change any
transfer arrangement. If the value of the Division from which transfers are
being made falls below the total transfer amount, the remaining value in that
Division will be transferred on a pro rata basis to all the designated Divisions
and the GPA, and no more automated transfers will be processed.

Dollar Cost Averaging transfers are not subject to any transfer charges or any
limitations on the number of transfers in a Policy Year.

Policy Lapse And Reinstatement

Policy Lapse

This Policy does not lapse for failure to pay premiums since payments, other
than the initial premium, are not specifically required. Rather, if the Account
Value less any Policy Debt is not enough to cover the Monthly Charges on a
Monthly Calculation Date, the Policy will enter a 61-day grace period.

At the beginning of the grace period, MassMutual will mail a notice, to the
Policyowner's last known address, stating the amount of premium needed to cover
the shortfall in Account Value. During the grace period, the Policy remains in
force. If the required premium is not paid within 61 days after the Monthly
Calculation Date (or, if later, within 30 days after we mail the written
notice), the Policy terminates without value.

Reinstatement Option

For a period of five years after a Policy terminates, the Policyowner can
request that We reinstate the Policy during the lifetime of the Insured. The
Policy cannot be reinstated if it has been surrendered for its Cash Surrender
Value. Please note that a termination or reinstatement may cause the Policy to
become a modified endowment contract. (See, Modified Endowment Contracts, page
25).

19
<PAGE>

Before We will reinstate the Policy, We must receive the following:

(a) Evidence of insurability satisfactory to MassMutual;

(b) A premium payment at least equal to the amount necessary to produce an
Account Value equal to three times the Monthly Charges on the Monthly
Calculation Date on or next following the date of reinstatement; and

If We do reinstate the Policy, the Selected Face Amount for the reinstated
Policy will be the same as it would have been if the Policy had not terminated.
Charges And Deductions

Charges And Deductions

Charges will be deducted in connection with the Policy to compensate MassMutual
for: (a) providing the insurance benefits under the Policy (including any
riders); (b) administering the Policy; (c) assuming certain risks in connection
with the Policy (including any riders); and (d) expenses incurred in
distributing the Policy.

Deductions from Premiums

MassMutual deducts a Sales Charge and a Premium Tax Charge from each Premium
Payment. The total of these charges is called the Premium Expense Charge. The
amount remaining after MassMutual has deducted the Premium Expense Charge is
referred to as the Net Premium. The Net Premium is allocated to the Division(s)
and the GPA according to the allocation instructions of the Policyowner.

Sales Charge. A Sales Charge of 2.0% of each premium payment made will be
deducted to partially compensate MassMutual for the expenses relating to the
distribution of the Policy, including commissions, advertising, and the printing
of the prospectuses and sales literature. MassMutual currently intends to waive
this charge after Policy Year 20; however, MassMutual reserves the right not to
waive the charge, or to reimpose it once it has been waived.

Premium Tax Charge. A Premium Tax Charge of 2.0% of each premium payment will
be deducted to pay applicable state and local premium taxes. The Premium Tax
Charge is intended to compensate MassMutual for taxes imposed by various states
and local jurisdictions on MassMutual's receipt of premiums from Policyowners.
Premium taxes vary from state to state, and, in some instances, among
localities. The 2.0% rate approximates the average tax rate expected to be paid
on premiums from all states. The Premium Tax Charge may be higher or lower than
the actual premium tax imposed by the jurisdiction in which the contract is
written. MassMutual does not expect to make a profit from this charge.
MassMutual currently intends to waive this charge after Policy Year 20; however,
MassMutual reserves the right not to waive the charge, or to reimpose it once it
has been waived.

Monthly Charge. Charges will be deducted from the Account Value on each Monthly
Calculation Date. The Monthly Charge consists of: (a) an administrative charge;
(b) a mortality charge; and (c) a rider charge for any additional benefits
provided by rider. The Monthly Charges will be deducted from the Division(s) and
the GPA in proportion to the non-loaned values in the Division(s) and the GPA.

Administrative Charge. This monthly charge is currently $6. This charge
reimburses MassMutual for expenses incurred in administering the Policy, such as
processing claims, maintaining records and communicating with Policyowners. This
charge is not designed to make a profit. MassMutual reserves the right to
change this charge in the future, but guarantees it will never exceed $9 per
month.

Mortality Charge. The mortality charge for a Policy is equal to the "amount at
risk" under the Policy, multiplied by the monthly mortality charge rate for that
Policy month. The amount at risk is determined on the first day of the Policy
month and is the amount by which the Death Benefit (discounted at the monthly
equivalent of 3% per year) exceeds the Account Value.

Monthly mortality rates will be based on the sex, Issue Age, and rate class of
the Insured, and the length of time the Policy has been in force. The actual
monthly mortality rates will be based on MassMutual's expectations as to future
mortality and expense experience. They will not, however, be greater than the
guaranteed mortality rates set forth in the Policy. These guaranteed rates are
based on the 1980 Standard Commissioners Standard Ordinary (CSO) Mortality
Tables, and the sex, Attained Age, and rate class of the Insured. For standard
rate classes, these will not exceed the rates contained in the 1980 CSO Tables.

The rate class of an Insured will affect the monthly mortality rates.
MassMutual currently places Insureds into the following three standard rate
classes: Preferred Nonsmoker, Nonsmoker, and Smoker; as well as substandard rate
classes involving a higher mortality risk. In an otherwise identical Policy,
the monthly mortality rate is generally higher for smokers than for nonsmokers
and higher for nonsmokers than for preferred nonsmokers.

Rider Charge. The Monthly Charge will include charges for any additional
benefits provided by Rider.

Daily Charges Against
The Separate Account

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. MassMutual assesses a daily charge against
net asset value of the Separate Account for the mortality and expense risks it
assumes. Currently, the charge is at the rate of 0.55% on an annual basis.
MassMutual reserves the right to increase the charge rate, up to a maximum
equivalent annual rate of 0.90%. This charge is not deducted from the assets in
the GPA.

The mortality risk we assume is that the group of lives insured under our
Policies may, on average, live for shorter periods of time than we estimated.
The expense risk we assume is

20
<PAGE>

that our costs of issuing and administering Policies may be more than we
estimated.

If all the money MassMutual collects from this charge is not needed to cover
death benefits and expenses, it will be our gain and will be used for any proper
purpose, including payment of sales commissions. Conversely, even if the money
we collect is insufficient, we will provide for all death benefits and expenses.

Charges for Federal Taxes. MassMutual does not currently make any charge
against the Separate Account for federal income taxes attributable to them. We
may make such a charge eventually in order to provide for the future federal
income tax liability of the Separate Account.

Investment Management Fee and Other Expenses. Because the Divisions purchase
shares of either MML Trust or Oppenheimer Trust, the value of Accumulation Units
of the Divisions will reflect the investment management fee and other expenses
incurred by MML Trust and Oppenheimer Trust. The Prospectuses of MML Trust and
Oppenheimer Trust contain additional information concerning such fees and
expenses.

Surrender Charges

General. The Surrender Charge has two parts -- an Administrative Surrender
Charge and a Sales Load Surrender Charge. The Administrative Surrender Charge
will be imposed by MassMutual during the first 10 Policy Years, and during the
first 10 Policy Years following any requested increase in the Selected Face
Amount if the Policyowner surrenders the Policy or decreases the Selected Face
Amount. The Sales Load Surrender Charge will be imposed by MassMutual for the
first 15 Policy Years, and during the first 15 years following any requested
increase in the Selected Face Amount if the Policyowner surrenders or decreases
the Selected Face Amount.

Administrative Surrender Charge. This charge is $5 for each $1,000 of Selected
Face Amount. It remains level for five years, then grades down to zero over the
next five years. This charge reimburses MassMutual for expenses incurred in
issuing the Policy, such as processing the applications (including underwriting)
and setting up computer records. It is not designed to generate a profit.

Example of Surrender Charge Bands per $1,000

Age 25 Age 40 Age 55

$6.26 $9.91 $28.49

The Sales Load Surrender Charge remains level for the first 10 years, then
grades down to zero over the next five years in accordance with the percentages
set forth in the Policy.

Surrender Charges are calculated separately for the initial Selected Face Amount
and for each increase in the Selected Face Amount. Premiums are allocated to
the original Selected Face Amount and any subsequent increases in Selected Face
Amount in proportion to the respective guideline annual premiums.

Surrender Charge Upon Decrease in Selected Face Amount. A Surrender Charge may
be deducted on a decrease in the Selected Face Amount. In the event of a
decrease in Selected Face Amount, the Surrender Charge deducted is a fraction of
the charge that would apply to a full surrender of the Policy. If there have
been no increases in the Selected Face Amount, the fraction will be determined
by dividing the amount of the decrease by the current Selected Face Amount and
multiplying the result by the Surrender Charge. If more than one Surrender
Charge is in effect (pursuant to one or more increases in the Selected Face
Amount), the Surrender Charge will be applied in the following order: (1) the
most recent increase followed by (2) the next most recent increases,
successively, and (3) the initial Selected Face Amount. Where a decrease causes
a partial reduction in an increase or in the initial Selected Face Amount, a
proportionate share of the Surrender Charge for that increase or for the initial
Selected Face Amount will be deducted from the Account Value.

Other Charges

Withdrawal Fee. For each Withdrawal, a charge of $25 (or 2% of the amount
withdrawn, if less) will be deducted from the amount withdrawn. This fee is
guaranteed not to increase for the duration of the Policy. MassMutual does not
anticipate making a profit on this fee.

Charge for Increase in Selected Face Amount. For each increase in Selected Face
Amount, a charge of $75 will be deducted from the Account Value. The charge is
designed to reimburse us for underwriting and administrative costs associated
with the increase. This fee is guaranteed not to increase for the duration of
the Policy. MassMutual does not expect to make a profit on this charge.

Charge for Change from Option 1 to Option 2. For each change in the Death
Benefit Option from Option 1 to Option 2, a charge of $75 will be deducted from
the Account Value. The charge is designed to reimburse Us for the underwriting
and administrative costs associated with the change. This fee is guaranteed not
to increase for the duration of the Policy. MassMutual does not expect to make
a profit on this charge.

<PAGE>

Account Value And Cash
Surrender Value

Account Value. The Account Value of the Policy is the sum of all Net Premium
payments adjusted by periodic charges and credits and by Withdrawals. The
Account Value of the Policy is held in one or more Divisions and the GPA.
Initially, this value equals the net amount of the first premium paid under the
Policy. This amount is allocated among the Divisions and the GPA according to
the allocation requested in the Application.

Investment Return. The investment return of a Policy is based on:

(a) The Account Value held in each Division for that Policy;

(b) The investment experience of each Division as measured by its actual net
rate of return; and

The investment experience of a Division reflects increases and decreases in the
net asset value of the shares of the underlying Fund, any dividend or capital
gains distributions declared by the Fund, and any charges assessed against
assets of the Division. The investment experience is determined each day on
which the net asset value of the underlying Fund is determined that is, on
each Valuation Date. The actual net rate of return for a Division measures the
investment experience from the end of one Valuation Date to the end of the next
Valuation Date.

Cash Surrender Value. The Policy may be fully surrendered for its Cash
Surrender Value at any time during the life of the Insured. The Cash Surrender
Value is equal to the Account Value less any applicable Surrender Charges and
less any Policy Debt.

A Policyowner may surrender a Policy by sending a written request together with
the Policy to MassMutual's Home Office. The proceeds will be determined as of
the end of the Valuation Period during which the request for surrender is
received.

Withdrawals. After the first Policy Year, the Policyowner may, subject to
certain restrictions, withdraw up to 75% of the Cash Surrender Value. For each
Withdrawal, a fee of $25 (or 2% of the amount withdrawn, if less) is deducted
from the amount withdrawn. The minimum amount of a partial Withdrawal is $100
(before deducting the Withdrawal fee). We reserve the right to prohibit
Withdrawals that would cause Selected Face Amount to be reduced to an amount
less than $25,000. The Policyowner specifies the GPA or the Division(s) from
which the Withdrawal is to be made. The Withdrawal amount attributable to a
Division or the GPA may not exceed the non-loaned Account Value of the Division
or GPA. If Death Benefit Option 1 is in effect, MassMutual will reduce the
Selected Face Amount by the amount of the Withdrawal unless satisfactory
evidence of insurability is provided. A Surrender Charge is not assessed for a
Withdrawal.

Policy Loan Privilege

General. After the first Policy Year (or sooner if required by law), the
Policyowner may obtain a loan from the Policy by sending a written request in a
form satisfactory to us. The maximum amount that can be borrowed at any time is
90% (unless a greater amount is required by law) of the Policy's Account Value
less any Surrender Charge, reduced by any outstanding Policy Debt. The Policy
must be assigned to MassMutual as collateral for the loan.

Source of Loan. The loan amount requested is taken from Divisions and the GPA
in proportion to the non-loaned Account Value of each Division and the GPA on
the date of the loan. Shares taken from the Divisions are liquidated and the
resulting dollar amounts are transferred to the GPA. The Policy loan is then
taken against the value in the GPA. We may delay the granting of any loan
attributable to the GPA for up to six months. We may also delay the granting of
any loan attributable to the Separate Account during any period that: (1) the
New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday
closings); or (ii) trading is restricted; or (iii) the SEC determines that a
state of emergency exists; or (iv) during any period in which the Securities and
Exchange Commission permits MassMutual to delay payment for the protection of
our Policyowners.

Whenever total Policy Debt (which includes accrued interest) exceeds the Account
Value less Surrender Charges, MassMutual will send a notice to the Policyowner.
This notice will state the amount necessary to bring the Policy Debt back within
the limit. If we do not receive payment of that amount within 31 days after the
date we mailed the notice, and if Policy Debt exceeds the Account Value less any
Surrender Charges at the end of those 31 days, the Policy terminates without
value.

Interest Charged. At time of Application, the Policyowner may select a loan
interest rate of 6% or (in all jurisdictions except Arkansas) an adjustable loan
rate. MassMutual each year will set the adjustable rate that will apply for the
next Policy Year. The maximum loan rate is based on the monthly average of the
composite yield on seasoned corporate bonds as published by Moody's Investors
Service, Inc., or, if it is no longer published, a substantially similar
average. The maximum rate is the published monthly average for the calendar
month ending two months before the Policy Year begins, or 4%, whichever is
higher. If the maximum limit is not at least 1/2% higher than the rate in
effect for the previous year, we will not increase the rate. If the maximum
limit is at least 1/2% lower than the rate in effect for the previous year, we
will decrease the rate. Currently, this rate is equal to 1 1/2%.

Interest accrues daily and becomes part of the Policy Debt as it accrues. It is
due on each Policy Anniversary. If not paid when due, the interest will be
added to the loan and, as part of the loan, will bear interest at the same rate.
Any interest capitalized on a Policy Anniversary will be treated the same as a
new loan and will be taken from the Divisions and the GPA in proportion to the
non-loaned Account Value in each.

Repayment. All or part of any Policy Debt may be repaid at any time while the
Insured is living and while the Policy is in force. Any loan repayment will
first be allocated to

22
<PAGE>

the GPA until the Policyowner has repaid all loan amounts that originated from
the GPA. Any additional loan repayments will be allocated according to the
premium allocation factors in effect.

Any outstanding Policy Debt will be deducted from the proceeds payable upon the
death of the Insured or the surrender of the Policy.

Interest on Loaned Value. Any loaned amount is held in the GPA and earns
interest at a rate determined by MassMutual, equal to the greater of 3% and
Policy loan rate less not more than 2%.

Effect of Loan. A Policy loan affects the Policy since the Death Benefit and
Cash Surrender Value under a Policy are reduced by the amount of the loan.
Repayment of the loan increases the Death Benefit and Cash Surrender Value under
the Policy by the amount of the repayment. Surrender of a Policy with
outstanding Policy Debt may have tax consequences. (See Policy Proceeds,
Premiums and Loans, page 24).

As long as a loan is outstanding, a portion of the Policy's Account Value equal
to the loan is held in the GPA. This amount is not affected by the Separate
Account's investment performance. The Account Value is also affected because
the portion of the Account Value equal to the Policy loan is credited with an
interest rate declared by MassMutual rather than a rate of return reflecting the
investment performance of the Separate Account.

Free Look Provision

The Policyowner may cancel the Policy within 10 days (or longer if required by
state law) after the Policyowner receives it, or 10 days after MassMutual mails
or delivers a written notice of withdrawal right to the Policyowner, or within
45 days after signing Part I of the Application, whichever is latest. The
Policyowner may cancel increases in the Selected Face Amount under the same time
limitations.

The Policyowner should mail or deliver the Policy and Policy delivery receipt
either to MassMutual's Home Office or to the agent who sold the Policy or to one
of our agency offices. If the Policy is canceled in this fashion, a refund will
be made to the Policyowner. The refund equals the sum of: (i) the difference
between the premiums paid and the amounts allocated to any Division(s) and the
GPA under the Policy; (ii) the total amount of monthly deductions made and any
other charges imposed on amounts allocated to the Division(s) and the GPA; and
(iii) the value of amounts allocated to the Division(s) or the GPA on the date
we receive the returned Policy. For canceled increases in the Selected Face
Amount, the refund equals the sum of: (i) the difference between the premiums
paid attributable to the increase and the amounts allocated to any Division(s)
and the GPA under the Policy; (ii) the total amount of monthly deductions and
any other charges imposed on amounts attributable to the increase allocated to
the Division(s) and the GPA; and (iii) the value on the day we receive the
returned Policy of any amounts attributable to the increase allocated to the
Division(s) for the GPA. If state law does not authorize the calculation above,
the refund equals the total of all premiums paid for the Policy or increase,
reduced by any amounts borrowed or withdrawn.

The Guaranteed
Principal Account

A Policyowner may allocate some or all of the Net Premium and transfer some or
all of the Account Value, to the Guaranteed Principal Account ("GPA"). Because
of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in MassMutual's general
account (which include interests in the Guaranteed Principal Account) are not
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and the general account is not
registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Accordingly, neither the general account nor any interests therein are subject
to the provisions of these Acts, and MassMutual has been advised that the staff
of the Securities and Exchange Commission has not reviewed the disclosures in
the Prospectus relating to the general account. Disclosures regarding the
general account may, however, be subject to certain generally applicable
provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and
completeness of statements made in prospectuses.

Amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Principal Account become part of the General
Account of MassMutual, which consists of all assets owned by MassMutual other
than those in the Separate Account and other separate accounts of MassMutual.
Subject to applicable law, MassMutual has sole discretion over the investment of
the assets of its General Account.

The Policyowner may allocate some or all of the Net Premium to the Guaranteed
Principal Account. MassMutual guarantees that those amounts allocated to the
GPA in excess of any Policy Debt (which includes accrued interest) will accrue
interest daily at an effective annual rate at least equal to 3%. For amounts in
the GPA equal to any Policy Debt, the guaranteed minimum interest rate is an
effective annual rate of 3% or, if greater, the Policy loan rate less a
MassMutual declared charge for expenses and taxes. This charge will not be
greater than 2% per year. Such interest will be paid regardless of the actual
investment experience of the GPA. Although MassMutual is not obligated to
credit interest at a rate higher than the guaranteed minimum, it may declare a
higher rate applicable for such periods as it deems appropriate.

Federal Income Tax
Considerations

The ultimate effect of federal income taxes on values under this Policy and on
the economic benefit to the Policyowner or Beneficiary depends on MassMutual's
tax status and upon the tax status of the individual concerned. The discussion
contained herein is general in nature and is not an exhaustive discussion of all
tax questions that might arise under the Policy, and is not intended as tax
advice. Moreover, no representation is made as to the likelihood of
continuation of current federal income tax laws and Treasury Regulations or of
the current interpretations of the Internal Revenue Service. MassMutual
reserves the right to make changes in the Policy to assure that it continues to
qualify as life insurance for tax purposes.

23
<PAGE>

For complete information on federal and state tax law considerations, a
qualified tax advisor should be consulted. No attempt is made herein to consider
any applicable state or other tax laws.

MassMutual's Tax Status. MassMutual is taxed as a life insurance company under
Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). The Separate
Account is not a separate entity from MassMutual and its operations form a part
of MassMutual.

Investment income and realized capital gains on the assets of the Separate
Account are reinvested and taken into account in determining Account Value. The
investment income and realized capital gains are automatically applied to
increase book reserves associated with the Policy. Under existing federal
income tax law, the Separate Account's investment income, including net capital
gains, is not taxed to MassMutual to the extent applied to increase reserves
associated with the Policy. The reserve items taken into account at the close
of the taxable year for purposes of determining net increases and net decreases
must be adjusted for tax purposes by subtracting an amount attributable to
appreciation in the value of assets and by adding any amount attributable to
depreciation. MassMutual's basis in the Policy's share of the assets underlying
the Separate Account will be adjusted for appreciation or depreciation, to the
extent the reserves are adjusted. Thus, corporate-level capital gains and
losses, and the tax effect thereof, are eliminated.

Due to MassMutual's current tax status, no charge is made to the Separate
Account for MassMutual's federal income taxes that may be attributable to the
Separate Account. Periodically, MassMutual reviews the question of a charge to
the Separate Account for MassMutual's federal income taxes. A charge may be
made for any federal income taxes incurred by MassMutual that are attributable
to the Separate Account. Depending on the method of calculating interest on
Policy values allocated to the Guaranteed Principal Account (see preceding
section), a charge may be imposed for the Policy's share of MassMutual's federal
income taxes attributable to that account.

Under current laws, MassMutual may incur state or local taxes (in addition to
premium taxes) in several states. At present, these taxes are not significant.
If there is a material change in applicable state or local tax laws, MassMutual
reserves the right to charge the Separate Account for such taxes, if any,
attributable to the Separate Account.

Policy Proceeds, Premiums and Loans. MassMutual believes that the Policy meets
the statutory definition of life insurance under Code Section 7702 and hence
receives the same tax treatment as that accorded to fixed benefit life
insurance. Thus, the Death Benefit under the Policy is generally excludible
from the gross income of the Beneficiary under Section 101(a)(1) of the Code.
As an exception to this general rule, where a Policy has been transferred for
value, only the portion of the Death Benefit which is equal to the total
consideration paid for the Policy may be excluded from gross income. The
Policyowner is not deemed to be in constructive receipt of the cash values,
including increments thereon, under the Policy until a full surrender or partial
withdrawal is made (unless the Policy is a "modified endowment contract," as
discussed below).

Upon a full surrender of a Policy for its Cash Surrender Value, the Policyowner
may recognize ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Ordinary income
is computed to be the amount by which the Account Value, unreduced by any
outstanding Policy Debt but less any Surrender Charges assessed, exceeds the
premiums paid but not previously recovered and any other consideration paid for
the Policy.

Decreases in Selected Face Amount and Withdrawals may be taxable depending on
the circumstances. Code Section 7702(f)(7) provides that where a reduction of
future benefits occurs during the first 15 years after a Policy is issued and
where there is a cash distribution associated with that reduction, the
Policyowner may be taxed on all or a part of the amount distributed. After 15
years, such cash distributions are not subject to federal income tax, except to
the extent they exceed the total amount of premiums paid but not previously
recovered. MassMutual suggests that you consult with your tax advisor in
advance of a proposed decrease in Selected Face Amount or withdrawal as to the
portion, if any, which would be subject to federal income tax.

A change of the Policyowner or the Insured or an exchange or assignment of the
Policy may have tax consequences depending on the circumstances.

MassMutual also believes that under current law any loan received under the
Policy will be treated as Policy Debt of a Policyowner, and that no part of any
loan under a Policy will constitute income to the Policyowner unless the Policy
has become a "modified endowment contract." If the Policy is a modified
endowment contract under Code Section 7702A, loans will be fully taxable to the
extent of income in the Policy and could be subject to an additional 10 percent
tax. See the discussion on modified endowment contracts below. Under the
"personal" interest limitation provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986,
interest on Policy loans used for personal purposes, which otherwise meet the
requirements of Code Section 264, will no longer be tax-deductible. However,
other rules may apply to allow all or part of the interest expense as a
deduction if the loan proceeds are used for "trade or business" or "investment"
purposes. See your tax advisor for further guidance.

If the Policy is owned by a business or corporation, the 1986 Act may impose
additional restrictions. The Act limits the interest deduction available for
loans against a business-owned Policy. It imposes an indirect tax upon the gain
in corporate-owned life insurance policies by way of the corporate alternative
minimum tax, for those corporations subject to the alternative minimum tax. The
corporate alternative minimum tax could also apply to a portion of the amount by
which Death Benefits received exceed the Policy's date-of-death cash surrender
value.

Federal estate and state and local estate, inheritance, and other tax
consequences of ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds depend on the
circumstances of each Policyowner or Beneficiary.

MassMutual cannot make any guarantee regarding the future tax treatment of any
Policy. For complete information on the impact of changes with respect to the
Policy and federal and state tax considerations, a qualified tax advisor should
be consulted.

<PAGE>

Modified Endowment Contracts. Contrary to the rules described above, loans,
collateral assignments, and other amounts distributed under a "modified
endowment contract" are taxable to the extent of any accumulated income in the
Policy. In general, the amount which may be subject to taxation is the excess
of the Account Value (both loaned and unloaned) over the previously unrecovered
premiums paid. Death benefits paid under a modified endowment contract,
however, are not taxed any differently from death benefits payable under other
life insurance contracts.

A Policy is a modified endowment contract if it satisfies the definition of life
insurance set out in the Internal Revenue Code but fails the additional "7-pay
test." A Policy fails this test if the accumulated amount paid under the
contract at any time during the first seven contract years exceeds the total
premiums that would have been payable under a policy providing for guaranteed
benefits upon the payment of seven level annual premiums. A Policy which would
otherwise satisfy the 7-pay test will still be taxed as a modified endowment
contract if it is received in exchange for a modified endowment contract.

Certain changes will require a Policy to be retested to determine whether it has
become a modified endowment contract. For example, a reduction in death benefits
during the first seven contract years will cause the Policy to be retested as if
it had originally been issued with the reduced death benefit. If the premiums
actually paid into the Policy exceed the limits under the 7-pay test for a
policy with the reduced death benefit, the Policy will become a modified
endowment contract. This change is effective retroactively to the Policy Year
in which the actual premiums paid exceed the new 7-pay limits.

In addition, a "material change" occurring at any time while the Policy is in
force will require the Policy to be retested to determine whether it continues
to meet the 7-pay test.

A material change starts a new 7-pay test period. The term "material change"
includes many increases in death benefits. A material change does not include
an increase in death benefits which is attributable to the payment of premiums
necessary to fund the lowest level of death benefits payable during the first
seven contract years, or which is attributable to the crediting of interest with
respect to such premiums.

Since the Policy provides for flexible premium payments, the Company has
instituted procedures to monitor whether increases in death benefits or
additional premium payments cause either the start of a new seven-year test
period or the taxation of distributions and loans. All additional premium
payments will have to be considered.

If any amount is taxable as a distribution of income under a modified endowment
contract, it will also be subject to a 10% penalty tax. Limited exceptions from
the additional penalty tax are available for individual Policyowners. The
penalty tax will not apply to distributions: (i) that are made on or after the
date the taxpayer attains age 59 1/2; or (ii) that are attributable to the
taxpayer's becoming disabled; or (iii) that are part of a series of
substantially equal periodic payments (made not less frequently than annually)
made for the life or life expectancy of the taxpayer. For complete information
with respect to modified endowment contract status, a qualified tax advisor
should be consulted.

Once a Policy fails the 7-pay test, loans and distributions occurring in the
year of failure and thereafter become subject to the rules for modified
endowment contracts. In addition, a recapture provision applies to loans and
distributions received in anticipation of failing the 7-pay test. Any
distribution or loan made within two years prior to failing the 7-pay test is
considered to have been made in anticipation of the failure.

Under certain circumstances, a loan, collateral assignment, or other
distribution under a modified endowment contract may be taxable even though it
exceeds the amount of income accumulated in the Policy. For purposes of
determining the amount of income received from a modified endowment contract,
the law requires the aggregation of all modified endowment contracts issued to
the same Policyowner by an insurer and its affiliates within the same calendar
year. Therefore, loans, collateral assignments, and distributions from any one
such Policy are taxable to the extent of the income accumulated in all the
Policies required to be aggregated.

Qualified Plans. The Policy may be used in conjunction with certain
tax-qualified employee benefit plans. Since the rules governing such use are
complex, a purchaser should not use the Policy in conjunction with any such
qualified plan until he has consulted a competent tax advisor. The Policy may
not be used in conjunction with an Individual Retirement Account (IRA).

Diversification Standards. To comply with final regulations under Code Section
817(h) ("Final Regulations"), each Fund of the Trusts is required to diversify
its investments. The Final Regulations generally require that on the last day
of each quarter of a calendar year no more than 55% of the value of a Fund's
assets is represented by any one investment, no more than 70% is represented by
any two investments, no more than 80% is represented by any three investments,
and no more than 90% is represented by any four investments. A "look-through"
rule applies to treat a pro-rata portion of each asset of a Fund as an asset of
the Separate Account. All securities of the same issuer are treated as a single
investment. However, each government agency or instrumentality is treated as a
separate issuer.

With respect to variable life insurance contracts, the general diversification
requirements are modified if any of the assets of the Separate Account are
direct obligations of the United States Treasury. In this case, there is no
limit on the investment that may be made in United States Treasury securities,
and for purposes of determining whether assets other than United States Treasury
securities are adequately diversified, the generally applicable percentage
limitations are increased based on the value of the Separate Account's
investment in United States Treasury securities. Notwithstanding this
modification of the general diversification requirements, the Funds of the
Trusts will be structured to comply with the general diversification standards
because they serve as an investment vehicle for certain variable annuity
contracts which must comply with the general standards.

In connection with the issuance of the temporary regulations prior to the Final
Regulations, the Treasury announced that such temporary regulations did not
provide guidance concerning the extent to which Policyowners may direct their
investments to particular Divisions of a separate account. Regula-

25
<PAGE>

tions in this regard were not issued in connection with the Final Regulations,
however. It is not clear, at this time, what future regulations might provide.
It is possible that, if future regulations are issued, the Policy may need to be
modified to comply with such regulations. For these reasons, MassMutual reserves
the right to modify the Policy, as necessary, to prevent the Policyowner from
being considered the owner of the assets of the Separate Account.

MassMutual intends to comply with the Final Regulations to assure that the
Policy continues to qualify as life insurance for federal income tax purposes.

Your Voting Rights

As long as the Separate Account continues to operate as a unit investment trust
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Policyowner is entitled to give
instructions as to how shares of the Funds held in the Separate Account (or
other securities held in lieu of such shares) deemed attributable to the Policy
shall be voted at meetings of shareholders of the Funds or the Trusts. Those
persons entitled to give voting instructions are determined as of the record
date for the meeting.

The number of shares of the Funds held in the Separate Account deemed
attributable to the Policy during the lifetime of the Insured are determined by
dividing the Policy's Account Value held in each Division of the Separate
Account, if any, by $100. Fractional votes are counted.

Policyowners receive proxy material and a form with which such instructions may
be given. Shares of the Funds held by the Separate Account as to which no
effective instructions have been received are voted for or against any
proposition in the same proportion as the shares as to which instructions have
been received.

Reservation Of Rights

We reserve the right to take certain actions in connection with our operations
and the operations of the Separate Account. These actions will be taken in
accordance with applicable laws (including obtaining any required approval of
the Securities and Exchange Commission). If necessary, we will seek approval by
Policyowners.

Specifically, we reserve the right to:

. Create new Divisions of the Separate Account;

. Create new Separate Accounts;

. Combine any two or more Separate Accounts;

. Make available additional Divisions of the Separate Account investing in
additional investment companies;

. Invest the assets of the Separate Account in securities other than shares
of the Funds as a substitute for such shares already purchased or as the
securities to be purchased in the future;

. Operate the Separate Account as a management investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 or in any other form permitted by law; and

. De-register the Separate Account under the Investment Company Act of 1940
in the event such registration is no longer required.

MassMutual also reserves the right to change the name of the Separate Account.

We have reserved all rights to the name MassMutual Life Insurance Company or any
part of it. We may allow the Separate Account and other entities to use our
name or part of it, but we may also withdraw this right.

Additional Provisions
Of The Policy

Additional Benefits You Can Get by Rider

The Policy can include additional benefits that we approve based on our
standards and limits for issuing insurance and classifying risks. An additional
benefit is provided by rider and is subject to the terms of both the rider and
the Policy. The cost of any rider is deducted as part of the Monthly Charges.
Subject to state availability, the following riders are available.

Disability Benefit Rider. This rider provides that, in the event of the
Insured's total disability that begins before Attained Age 65 and continues for
at least six months, MassMutual will apply a premium payment to the Policy on
each Monthly Calculation Date while the Insured remains totally disabled (but
not after Attained Age 70 if the disability occurred after Attained Age 60).

At the time of application, a Specified Monthly Amount is selected by the
Policyowner. In the event of the Insured's total disability, the amount of the
premium payment applied on each Monthly Calculation Date will be the greater of:
(a) the Specified Monthly Amount; or (b) the Monthly Charge (increased by the
current Premium Expense Charge) on that Monthly Calculation Date.

Accidental Death Benefit Rider. This rider provides for an addition to the
Death Benefit in the event the Insured's death was caused by accidental bodily
injury occurring within six months before the Insured's death. No benefit is
provided under this rider if the Insured dies before his or her first birthday
or after Attained Age 70.

Insurability Protection Rider. This rider allows the Policyowner to increase
the Selected Face Amount of the Policy for a specified amount on specified
dates, without evidence of insurability.

Death Benefit Guarantee Rider. Until Attained Age 70 or 40 years from the
Policy Date, whichever is sooner, the Policy will not terminate when the Account
Value is insufficient to cover the Monthly Charge on a Monthly Calculation Date
if (a) exceeds (b) where:

(a) is the sum of all premiums paid, minus any withdrawals, and minus any Policy
Debt; and

(b) is the sum of Minimum Monthly Premiums, for this rider since the Policy
Date.

26
<PAGE>

Minimum Monthly Premiums may be paid on other than a monthly basis as long as
the sum of premiums paid is at least equal to the total required Minimum Monthly
Premiums on each Monthly Calculation Date. The Minimum Monthly Policy Premium
may change if the Policy's Selected Face Amount is increased or decreased or if
riders are added, changed, or terminated. The new Minimum Monthly Premium will
apply from the effective date of the change.

If, on a Monthly Calculation Date, the Policy premium requirement has not been
met, the Policyowner will be given an additional 61 days to pay a premium
sufficient to maintain the death benefit guarantee. The required payment will
be equal to (a) the smallest amount needed to meet the Policy premium
requirement as of that date; plus (b) two times the Minimum Monthly Premium for
that date. If the required payment is not received within this period, the
rider will terminate and the death benefit guarantee will be lost. Once the
rider is terminated, it cannot be reinstated.

Accelerated Death Benefit Rider. This rider advances the Policyowner a portion
of the Death Benefit when MassMutual receives proof, satisfactory to Us, the
insured is terminally ill and is not expected to live more than 12 months. In
return for the advanced payment, a lien is established against the Policy, equal
to the amount of the Death Benefit accelerated under the Policy. Interest is
not charged on the Lien.

Right to Exchange Insured Endorsement. Upon request, the Policy may include a
Right to Exchange Insured Endorsement. Under this endorsement, the Policy may be
exchanged for a new Policy on the life of a new Insured, subject to certain
conditions and satisfactory evidence of insurability.

Exchange Privilege

The Policyowner may transfer the entire Account Value held in the Separate
Account to the GPA at any time. The transfer will take effect following receipt
by MassMutual of a written request.

Beneficiary

A Beneficiary is any person named on our records to receive insurance proceeds
after the Insured dies. The Policyowner names the Beneficiary in the
application for the Policy. There may be different classes of beneficiaries,
such as primary and secondary. These classes set the order of payment. There
may be more than one Beneficiary in a class.

Any Beneficiary may be named an irrevocable Beneficiary. An irrevocable
Beneficiary is one whose consent is needed to change that Beneficiary. The
consent of any irrevocable Beneficiary is needed to exercise any Policy right
except the right to:

Change the frequency of Planned Premiums;

Change the premium payment plan; and

Reinstate the Policy after termination.

The Beneficiary may be changed during the Insured's lifetime by writing to our
Home Office. Generally, the change will take effect as of the date of the
request. If no Beneficiary is living when the Insured dies, unless provided
otherwise the Death Benefit is paid to the Policyowner or, if deceased, to the
Policyowner's estate.

Assignment

The Policy may be assigned as collateral for a loan or other obligation. For
any assignment to be binding on MassMutual, however, We must receive a signed
copy of it at our Home Office. We are not responsible for the validity of any
assignment.

Limits on Our Right to
Challenge the Policy

Except for any increases in Selected Face Amount, we must bring any legal action
to contest the validity of a Policy within two years from its Issue Date. After
that We cannot contest its validity, except for failure to pay premiums. For
any increase in the Selected Face Amount, We must bring legal action to contest
that increase within two years after the effective date of the increase or
within two years after the Issue Date of the Insurability Protection Rider, if
the increase is provided by that rider.

Error of Age or Sex

If the Insured's age or sex is misstated in the Policy application, the Death
Benefit payable under the Policy will be adjusted based on what the Policy would
provide according to the most recent Monthly Charge for the correct date of
birth and correct sex.

Suicide

Suicide within two years of the Policy Date is not covered by the Policy. If
the Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, within two years from the
Issue Date (or less where required by law), the amount payable to the
Beneficiary will be limited to premiums paid, less any withdrawals and Policy
Debt. If the Insured, while sane or insane, dies by suicide within two years
after the effective date of any increase in the Selected Face Amount, the death
benefit for that increase will be limited to the amount of the Monthly Charges
for that increase.

When We Pay Proceeds

If the Policy has not terminated, payment of the Cash Surrender Value, loan
proceeds, or the Death Benefit are made within 7 days after we receive all
required documents in a form satisfactory to us at our Home Office. But we can
delay payment of the Cash Surrender Value or any withdrawal from the Separate
Account, loan proceeds attributable to the Separate Account, or the Death
Benefit during any period that: it is not reasonably practicable to determine
the amount because the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary
week-end and holiday closings), trading is restricted by the SEC, or the SEC
declares that an emergency exists; or the SEC, by order, permits us to delay
payment in order to protect our policyowners.

27
<PAGE>

We may delay paying any Cash Surrender Value, any withdrawal, or any loan
proceeds based on the GPA for up to 6 months from the date the request is
received at our Home Office.

We can delay payment of the entire Death Benefit if payment is contested. We
investigate all death claims arising within the two-year contestable period.
Upon receiving the information from a completed investigation, we generally make
a determination within five days as to whether the claim should be authorized
for payment. Payments are made promptly after authorization.

If payment of a Death Benefit, Cash Surrender Value, or withdrawal is delayed
for 30 days or more, we add interest to the date of payment at the same rate as
is paid under the interest payment option.

Payment Options

The Policy proceeds can be paid in cash, or if elected, all or part of these
proceeds can be placed under one or more of the following payment options. The
minimum amount that can be applied under a payment option is $2,000. If the
periodic payment under any option is less than $20, we reserve the right to make
payments at less-frequent intervals. None of these benefits depends on the
performance of the Separate Account or the GPA. For additional information
concerning these options, see the Policy. The following payment options are
currently available.

Fixed Amount Payment Option. Each monthly payment is for an agreed fixed amount
not less than $10 for each $1,000 applied under the option. Interest of at
least 2.5% per year is credited each month on the unpaid balance and added to
it. Payments continue until the amount We hold runs out.

Fixed Time Payment Option. Equal monthly payments are made for any period
selected, up to 30 years. The amount of each payment depends on the total
amount applied, the period selected, and the rate We credit interest to the
unpaid balance. This interest rate will not be less than 2.5% per year.

Interest Payment Option. We hold amounts under this option and pay interest on
the unpaid balance of at least 2.5% per year.

Lifetime Payment Option. Equal monthly payments are based on the life of a
named person. Payments continue for the lifetime of that person. Three
variations are available:

. Payments for life only;

. Payments guaranteed for five, ten or twenty years; and

. Payments guaranteed for the amount applied.

Joint Lifetime Payment Option. Equal monthly payments are based on the lives of
two named persons. While both named persons are living, one payment will be
made each month. When one of the named persons dies, the same payment continues
for the lifetime of the other. Two variations are available:

. Payments guaranteed for 10 years; and

. Payments for two lives only. No specific number of payments is guaranteed.
Under this option there may be one payment if the two named persons die prior to
the second payment.

Joint Lifetime Payment Option with Reduced Payments. Monthly payments are based
on the lives of two named persons. While both named persons are living, one
payment will be made each month. When one dies, payments are reduced by
one-third and will continue for the lifetime of the other.

Withdrawal Rights Under Payment Options. If provided in the payment option
election, all or part of the unpaid balance under the Fixed Amount or Interest
payment option may be withdrawn or applied under any other option. Payments
which are based on a named person's life may not be withdrawn.

Records And Reports

All records and accounts relating to the Separate Account and the GPA are
maintained by MassMutual. Each year within 30 days after the Policy
Anniversary, MassMutual will mail you a report showing the Account Value at the
beginning of the previous Policy Year, all premiums paid since that time, all
additions to and deductions from the Account Value during the year, and the
Account Value, Death Benefit, Cash Surrender Value and Policy Debt as of the
latest Policy Anniversary. This report contains any additional information
required by any applicable law or regulation.

Sales And Other Agreements

MML Investors Services, Inc.("MMLISI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MassMutual,
is the principal underwriter of the Policy pursuant to a Service Agreement
between MMLISI and MassMutual. MMLISI is registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

MassMutual sells the Policy through individuals who are licensed as life
insurance agents for MassMutual, and are also registered representatives of
MMLISI or of broker-dealers who have entered into written sales agreements with
MMLISI.

When an application for a Policy is completed, it is submitted to MassMutual.
MassMutual performs suitability and insurance underwriting and determines
whether to accept or reject the application. If the application is not
accepted, MassMutual will refund any premium that has been paid.

Commission Schedule

Writing agents will receive commissions based on a commission schedule and
rules. Some commissions are paid as a percentage of the premium payable in each
Policy Year. The maximum commission percentages are as follows:

For Policy Year 1, 50% for basic premium and 2% for amount paid above basic
premium; for Policy Years 2 through 10, 6.5%

28
<PAGE>

of basic premium and 2% for amounts paid above basic premium, and 2% for basic
premium and amounts above basic premium for Policy Years 11 and after.

Basic premium is an amount established by MassMutual for the purposes of
determining commissions payable on a Policy.

Agents under financing agreements with a general agent of MassMutual may be
compensated differently. Agents who meet certain productivity and persistency
standards in selling MassMutual policies are eligible for additional
compensation.

General agents and brokers receive commissions based on different schedules and
rules.

Bonding Arrangement

An insurance company blanket bond is maintained providing $15,000,000 coverage
for officers and employees of MassMutual (subject to a $500,000 deductible) and
$5,000,000 for MassMutual's general agents and agents (also subject to a
$500,000 deductible).

Report Of Independent Accountants

To the Board of Directors and Policyholders of
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company as of December 31, 1994 and 1993,
and the related statements of income, changes in policyholders' contingency
reserves, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Massachusetts Mutual Life
Insurance Company at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and
1992 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes To Financial Statements

1. Summary of Accounting Practices

The accompanying financial statements of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance
Company, except as to form, have been prepared in conformity with the practices
of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and the accounting
practices prescribed or permitted by the Division of Insurance of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts ("the Division of Insurance") which are currently
considered generally accepted accounting principles for mutual life insurance
companies and their life insurance subsidiaries.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board, which has no role in establishing
regulatory accounting practices, issued Interpretation 40, Applicability of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles to Mutual Life Insurance and Other
Enterprises, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 120, Accounting
and Reporting by Mutual Life Insurance Enterprises and by Insurance Enterprises
for Certain Long-Duration Participating Contracts. The American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, which also has no role in establishing regulatory
accounting practices, issued Statement of Position 95-1, Accounting for Certain
Insurance Activities of Mutual Life Insurance Enterprises. These pronouncements
will require mutual life insurance companies to modify their financial
statements in order to continue to be in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, effective for 1996 financial statements. The manner in
which policy reserves, new business acquisition costs, asset valuations and the
related tax effects are recorded will change. Management has not determined the
impact of such changes on the Company's Statements of Financial Position or
Income.

The following is a description of the Company's current principal accounting
policies and practices.

A. Investments

Bonds and stocks are valued in accordance with rules established by the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners. Generally, bonds are valued at
amortized cost, preferred stocks in good standing at cost, and common stocks,
except for unconsolidated subsidiaries, at fair value. Premium and discount on
bonds are amortized into investment income over the stated lives of the
securities through December 31, 1994.

As promulgated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, the
Company adopted the retrospective method of accounting for amortization of
premium and discount on mortgage backed securities as of December 31, 1994.
Prepayment assumptions for mortgage backed securities were obtained from a
prepayment model, which factors in mortgage type, seasoning, coupon, current
interest rate and the economic environment. The effect of this change, $44.5
million, is recorded as an increase to policyholders' contingency reserves.

Mortgage loans are valued at principal less unamortized discount. Real estate
is valued at cost less accumulated depreciation, impairments and mortgage
encumbrances. Encumbrances totaled $14.8 million in 1994 and $15.7 million in
1993. Depreciation on investment real estate is calculated using the
straight-line and constant yield methods.

Policy loans are carried at the outstanding loan balance less amounts unsecured
by the cash surrender value of the policy. Short-term investments are stated at
amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries, joint ventures and other forms of
partnerships are included in other investments on the Statement of Financial
Position and are accounted for using the equity method.

In compliance with regulatory requirements, the Company maintains an Asset
Valuation Reserve and an Interest Maintenance Reserve. The Asset Valuation
Reserve and other investment reserves, as prescribed and permitted by the
Division of Insurance, stabilize the policyholders' contingency reserves against
fluctuations in the value of stocks, as well as declines in the value of bonds,
mortgage loans and real estate investments.

The Interest Maintenance Reserve captures after-tax realized capital gains and
losses which result from changes in the overall level of interest rates for all
types of fixed income investments, as well as other financial instruments,
including financial futures, U.S. Treasury purchase commitments, options,
interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and interest rate floors. These
interest rate related gains and losses are amortized into income over the
remaining life of the investment sold or over the remaining life of the
underlying asset. Net realized after-tax capital losses of $155.6 million in
1994 and net realized after-tax capital gains of $152.6 million in 1993 and
$82.5 million in 1992 were charged to the Interest Maintenance Reserve. The
gains credited for certain government securities were limited by regulation to
75 percent of the gains realized in 1993 and 50 percent of the gains realized in
1992. The remaining portion of the realized capital gains and losses on other
financial instruments relating to income earned during the year is fully
recognized. Amortization of the Interest Maintenance Reserve into net income
amounted to $45.0 million in 1994, $66.6 million in 1993 and $27.4 million in
1992. In 1993, the Interest Maintenance Reserve resulted in a net gain deferral
which was included in other liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position.
In 1994, the Interest Maintenance Reserve resulted in a net loss deferral. In
accordance with the practices of the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners, the 1994 balance was recorded as a reduction of policyholders'
contingency reserves.

37
<PAGE>

Notes To Financial Statements (Continued)

Realized capital gains and losses, less taxes, not includable in the Interest
Maintenance Reserve, are recognized in net income. Realized capital gains and
losses are determined using the specific identification method. Unrealized
capital gains and losses are included in policyholders' contingency reserves.

B. Separate Accounts

Separate account assets and liabilities represent segregated funds administered
and invested by the Company for the benefit of pension, variable annuity and
variable life insurance contract holders. Assets consist principally of
marketable securities reported at fair value. Premiums, benefits and expenses
of the separate accounts are reported in the Statement of Income. The Company
receives administrative and investment advisory fees from these accounts.

C. Non-admitted Assets

Assets designated as "non-admitted" (principally certain fixed assets,
receivables and Interest Maintenance Reserve, when in a net loss deferral
position) are excluded from the Statement of Financial Position by an adjustment
to policyholders' contingency reserves. In accordance with provisions permitted
by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Company elected to admit electronic
data processing equipment totalling $20.0 million in 1992.

D. Policyholders' Reserves and Funds

Policyholders' reserves for life contracts are developed using accepted
actuarial methods computed principally on the net level premium and the
Commissioners' Reserve Valuation Method bases using the American Experience and
the 1941, 1958 and 1980 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary mortality tables with
assumed interest rates ranging from 2.5 to 6.0 percent.

Reserves for individual annuities, guaranteed investment contracts and deposit
administration and immediate participation guarantee funds are based on accepted
actuarial methods principally at interest rates ranging from 2.25 to 11.25
percent. Reserves for policies and contracts considered investment contracts
have a carrying value of $10,001.8 million (fair value of $9,672.3 million as
determined by discounted cash flow projections). Accident and health policy
reserves are generally calculated using the two-year preliminary term, net level
premium and fixed net premium methods and various morbidity tables.

During 1994, the Company changed its valuation basis for certain contracts. The
effect on the beginning of the year reserves, $45.3 million, was recorded as a
decrease to policyholders' contingency reserves. The effect of changes in
valuation bases for previously established policyholders' reserves, approved by
the Division of Insurance were included as adjustments to policyholders'
contingency reserves as of January 1, 1992.

E. Premium and Related Expense Recognition

Life premium revenue is recognized annually on the anniversary date of the
policy. Annuity premium is recognized when received. Accident and health
premiums are recognized as revenue when due. Commissions and other costs
related to issuance of new policies, maintenance and settlement costs are
charged to current operations.

F. Policyholders' Dividends

The Board of Directors annually approves dividends to be paid in the following
year. These dividends are allocated to reflect the relative contribution of each
group of policies to policyholders' contingency reserves and consider investment
and mortality experience, expenses and federal income tax charges.

G. Cash and Short-term Investments

For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid short-term investments purchased with a maturity of twelve months or less
to be cash equivalents.

2. Policyholders' Contingency Reserves

Policyholders' contingency reserves represent surplus of the Company as reported
to regulatory authorities and are intended to protect policyholders against
possible adverse experience.

A. Surplus Notes

The Company issued surplus notes of $100.0 million at 7 1/2 percent and $250.0
million at 7 5/8 percent in 1994 and 1993, respectively. These notes are
unsecured and subordinate to all present and future indebtedness of the Company,
policy claims

38
<PAGE>

Notes To Financial Statements (Continued)

and prior claims against the Company as provided by the Massachusetts General
Laws. Issuance was approved by the Commissioner of Insurance of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts ("the Commissioner").

All payments of interest and principal are subject to the prior approval of the
Commissioner. Sinking fund payments are due as follows: $62.5 million in 2021,
$87.5 million in 2022, $150.0 million in 2023 and $50.0 million in 2024.

Interest on the notes issued in 1994 is scheduled to be paid on March 1 and
September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 1994, to holders of record
on the preceding February 15 or August 15, respectively. Interest on the notes
issued in 1993 is scheduled to be paid on May 15 and November 15 of each year,
beginning on May 15, 1994, to holders of record on the preceding May 1 or
November 1, respectively. In accordance with regulations of the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners, interest expense is not recorded until
approval for payment is received from the Commissioner. In 1994, interest of
$22.8 million was approved and paid.

The proceeds of the notes, less a $35 million reserve in 1994 and a $25 million
reserve in 1993 for contingencies associated with the issuance of the notes, are
recorded as a component of the Company's policyholders' contingency reserves as
approved by the Commissioner. These reserves, as permitted by the Division of
Insurance, are included in investment reserves on the Statement of Financial
Position.

B. Other Policyholders' Contingency Reserves

As required by regulatory authorities, contingency reserves established to
protect group life and annuity policyholders are $36.3 million in 1994 and $34.7
million in 1993.

3. Employee Benefit Plans

A. Pension

The Company has a non-contributory defined benefit plan covering substantially
all of its employees. Benefits are based on the employees' years of service,
compensation during the last five years of employment and estimated social
security retirement benefits. The Company accounts for this plan following
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 87, Employers' Accounting for
Pensions. Accordingly, as permitted by the Division of Insurance, the Company
has recognized a pension asset of $25.3 million and $31.0 million in 1994 and
1993, respectively. Company policy is to fund pension costs in accordance with
the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and,
based on such requirements, no funding was required for the years ended December
31, 1994, 1993 and 1992. The assets of the Plan are invested in the Company's
general account and separate accounts.

The benefit status of the defined benefit plan as of December 31 is as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1994 1993
------ ------
(In Millions)
<S> <C> <C>
Accumulated benefit obligation $271.1 $261.9
Projected benefit obligation 321.1 316.0
Plan assets at fair value 421.7 430.5
</TABLE>

The discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value of both the
accumulated and projected benefit obligation was 8.0 percent and 7.5 percent at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The increase in future compensation
levels used was 5.0 percent. The long-term rate of return on assets is
projected to be 10.0 percent.

The Company also has defined contribution plans for employees and agents. The
expense charged to operations for all pension plans is $10.8 million in 1994, as
compared to $5.5 million in 1993 and $6.9 million in 1992.

B. Life and Health

Certain life and health insurance benefits are provided to retired employees and
agents through group insurance contracts. Substantially all of the Company's
employees may become eligible for these benefits if they reach retirement age
while working for the Company. In 1993, the Company adopted the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners' accounting standard for postretirement
benefit costs, requiring these benefits to be accounted for using the accrual
method for employees and agents eligible to retire and current retirees. The
discount rate used to determine the accumulated postretirement benefit liability
was 8.0 percent in 1994 and 7.5 percent in 1993. The assumed increases in
medical cost rates were 8.0 percent for the first year, declining to 5.0 percent
within 6 years at December 31, 1994 and 13.0 percent for the first year,
declining to 6.0 percent within 7 years at December 31, 1993. The net unfunded
accumulated benefit obligation for these benefits was $97.2 million and $87.5
million at January 1, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The initial transition
obligation of $100.4 million is being amortized over twenty years through 2012.
At December 31, 1994, the net unfunded accumulated benefit obligation was $66.8
million for

39
<PAGE>

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

employees and agents eligible to retire or currently retired and $24.0 million
for participants not eligible to retire. A Retired Lives Reserve Trust was
funded to pay life insurance premiums for certain retired employees. Trust
assets available for benefits were $12.9 million in 1994.

The expense for 1994 and 1993 under the new standard was $12.2 million and $15.8
million, respectively. In 1992, $4.3 million of retiree life and health
benefits were charged to income when paid. A one percent increase in the annual
assumed increase in medical cost rates would increase the 1994 accumulated
postretirement benefit liability and benefit expense by $4.9 million and $0.7
million, respectively.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

At the end of 1994, the Company executed two reinsurance agreements with its
subsidiary, MML Pension Insurance Company ("MML Pension"). In the first of
these contracts, the Company assumed all of the single premium immediate annuity
business written by MML Pension through either an assumption provision or a
coinsurance provision. The second contract ceded the Company's group life,
accident and health business to MML Pension. Additionally, a reinsurance
agreement previously in place, ceding all of the Company's single premium
annuity business, was terminated. These contracts were concurrently executed at
the end of business on December 31, 1994 and were accounted for as a bulk
reinsurance transaction. Accordingly, assets were transferred at fair value and
liabilities were transferred at statutory carrying value. These transfers did
not impact the Summary of Operations of either company. The net effect of these
transactions decreased the Company's assets and liabilities by $174.6 million in
1994.

5. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Provision for unpaid federal income taxes is based upon the Company's best
estimate of its tax liability. The Internal Revenue Service has completed
examining the Company's income tax returns through the year 1989, and is
currently examining the years 1990 through 1992. The Company believes any
adjustments resulting from such examinations will not materially affect its
financial statements.

Components of the formula authorized by the Internal Revenue Service for
determining deductible policyholder dividends have not been finalized for 1993
and 1994. The Company records the estimated effects of anticipated revisions in
the Statement of Income.

The Company intends to file its 1994 federal income tax return on a consolidated
basis with its life and non-life affiliates. The Company and its life and
non-life affiliates are subject to a written tax allocation agreement which
allocates tax liability in a manner permitted under Treasury regulations and
provides that loss members shall be compensated for the use of their losses and
credits by other members.

No deferred tax effect is recognized for temporary differences that may exist
between financial reporting and taxable income. The Company made federal tax
payments of $13.3 million in 1994, $206.6 million in 1993 and $119.3 million in
1992. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company established a liability for
federal income taxes of $229.9 and $208.1 million, respectively.

6. INVESTMENTS

The Company maintains a diversified investment portfolio. Investment policies
limit concentration in any asset class, geographic region, industry group,
economic characteristic, investment quality or individual investment.

Proceeds from sales of investments in bonds were $4,880.2 million during 1994,
$4,136.6 million during 1993 and $9,026.4 million during 1992. Gross capital
gains of $78.9 million in 1994, $271.1 million in 1993 and $231.1 million in
1992 and gross capital losses of $189.3 million in 1994, $88.3 million in 1993
and $92.9 million in 1992 were realized on those sales, a portion of which were
included in the Interest Maintenance Reserve. The estimated fair value of
non-publicly traded bonds is determined by the Company using a pricing matrix.

B. Stocks

Preferred stocks in good standing had fair values of $136.3 million in 1994,
$121.1 million in 1993, using a pricing matrix for non-publicly traded stocks
and quoted market prices for publicly traded stocks. Common stocks, except for
unconsolidated subsidiaries, had a cost of $181.1 million in 1994, $122.6
million in 1993.

C. Mortgages

The fair value of mortgage loans, as determined from a pricing matrix for
performing loans and the estimated underlying real estate value for
non-performing loans, approximated carrying value less valuation reserves held.

The Company acts as mortgage servicing agent and guarantor for $91.3 million of
mortgage loans sold in 1985. As guarantor, the Company is obligated to advance
unpaid principal and interest on any delinquent loans and to repurchase mortgage
loans under certain circumstances including mortgagor default.

D. Other

The carrying value of investments which were non-income producing for the
preceding twelve months was $82.9 million and $96.1 million at December 31, 1994
and 1993, respectively. The Company had restructured loans with book values of
$371.0 million and $437.1 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The Company made voluntary contributions to the Asset Valuation Reserve of $52.7
million in 1994, $51.5 million in 1993 and $38.4 million in 1992 for these
restructured loans.

41
<PAGE>

Notes To Financial Statements (Continued)

The loans typically have been modified to defer a portion of the contracted
interest payments to future periods. Interest deferred to future periods
totaled $2.2 million in 1994, $3.0 million in 1993 and $4.8 million in 1992.

It is not practicable to determine the fair value of policy loans as they do not
have a stated maturity.

7. PORTFOLIO RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company manages its investment risks to reduce interest rate and duration
imbalances determined in asset/liability analyses. The fair values of these
instruments, which are not recorded in the financial statements, are based upon
market prices or prices obtained from brokers. The Company does not hold or
issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

The notional amounts described do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties
and, thus, are not a measure of the exposure of the Company. The amounts
exchanged are calculated on the basis of the notional amounts and the other
terms of the instruments, which relate to interest rates, exchange rates,
security prices or financial or other indexes.

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance
by counterparties to financial instruments. This exposure is limited to
contracts with a positive fair value. The amounts at risk in a net gain
position were $88.4 million and $120.1 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The Company monitors exposure to ensure counterparties are credit
worthy and concentration of exposure is minimized.

The Company enters into financial futures contracts for the purpose of managing
interest rate exposure. The Company's futures contracts are exchange traded
with minimal credit risk. Margin requirements are met with the deposit of
securities. Futures contracts are generally settled with offsetting
transactions. Gains and losses on financial futures contracts are recorded when
the contract is closed and amortized through the Interest Maintenance Reserve
over the remaining life of the underlying asset. As of December 31, 1994, the
Company had entered into financial futures contracts with contractual amounts of
$558.9 million and a fair value of $559.1 million.

The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements, options, and purchased
caps and floors to reduce interest rate exposures arising from mismatches
between assets and liabilities and to modify portfolio profiles to manage other
risks identified.

Under interest rate swaps, the Company agrees to exchange, at specified
intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest rates calculated
by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. Net amounts
receivable and payable are accrued as adjustments to interest income and
included in investment and insurance amounts receivable on the Statement of
Financial Position. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company had swaps with
notional amounts of $2,799.1 million and $1,910.1 million, respectively. The
fair values of these instruments were $49.6 million and $9.9 million at December
31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Options grant the purchaser the right to buy or sell a security at a stated
price within a stated period. The Company's option contracts have terms of up
to two years. The amounts paid for options purchased are included in other
investments on the Statement of Financial Position. Gains and losses on these
contracts are recorded at the expiration or termination date and are amortized
through the Interest Maintenance Reserve over the remaining life of the
underlying asset. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company had option
contracts with notional amounts of $2,187.5 million and $2,647.5 million,
respectively. The Company's exposure was limited to the unamortized costs of
$24.4 million and $30.0 million, which had fair values of $10.4 million and
$73.3 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Interest rate cap agreements grant the purchaser the right to receive the excess
of a referenced interest rate over a given rate. Interest rate floor agreements
grant the purchaser the right to receive the excess of a given rate over a
referenced interest rate. Amounts paid for interest rate caps and floors are
amortized into interest income over the life of the asset on a straight-line
basis. Unamortized costs are included in other investments on the Statement of
Financial Position. Amounts receivable and payable are accrued as adjustments
to interest income and included in the Statement of Financial Position as
investment and insurance amounts receivable. Gains and losses on these
contracts, including any unamortized cost, are recognized upon termination and
are amortized through the Interest Maintenance Reserve over the remaining life
of the associated cap or floor agreement. The company has agreements with
notional amounts of $2,617.0 million and $1,712.0 million at December 31, 1994
and 1993, respectively. The Company's exposure on these agreements is limited
to the unamortized costs of $12.1 million and $10.1 million at December 31, 1994
and 1993, respectively. The fair values of these instruments were $6.0 million
and $29.0 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

The Company enters into asset swap agreements to reduce exposures, such as
currency risk and prepayment risk, built into certain assets acquired.
Cross-currency interest rate swaps allow investment in foreign currencies,
increasing access to additional investment opportunities, while limiting foreign
exchange risk. Notional amounts relating to asset and currency swaps totalled
$220.0 million and $249.8 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The fair values of these instruments were an unrecognized gain of $2.8 million
at December 31, 1994 and an unrecognized loss of $14.9 million at December 31,
1993.

42
<PAGE>

Notes To Financial Statements (Continued)

The Company enters into forward U.S. Treasury commitments for the purpose of
managing interest rate exposure. The Company generally does not take delivery
on forward commitments. These commitments are instead settled with offsetting
transactions. Gains and losses on forward commitments are recorded when the
commitment is closed and amortized through the Interest Maintenance Reserve over
the remaining life of the asset. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company had
U.S. Treasury purchase commitments which will settle during the following year
with contractual amounts of $1,000.0 million and $1,161.8 million and fair
values of $989.2 million and $1,159.1 million, respectively.

</TABLE>

9. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to insurance guaranty fund laws in the states in which it
does business. These laws assess insurance companies amounts to be used to pay
benefits to policyholders and claimants of insolvent insurance companies. Many
states allow these assessments to be credited against future premium taxes. The
Company believes such assessments in excess of amounts accrued will not
materially affect its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company is involved in litigation arising out of the normal course of its
business. Management intends to defend these actions vigorously. While the
outcome of litigation cannot be foreseen with certainty, it is the opinion of
management, after consultation with legal counsel, that the ultimate resolution
of these matters will not materially affect its financial position, results of
operations or liquidity.

10. Reclassification
Certain 1993 and 1992 balances have been reclassified to conform to current year
presentation.

11. Subsidiary and Affiliated Companies

Appendix A

Illustration of Death Benefits, Cash Surrender
Values and Accumulated Premiums

The following tables illustrate the way in which a Policy operates. They show
how the Death Benefit and Cash Surrender Value could vary over an extended
period of time, assuming the Funds experience hypothetical gross rates of
investment return (i.e., investment income and capital gains and losses,
realized or unrealized), equivalent to constant gross annual rates of 0%, 6%,
and 12%. The tables are based on annual premium of $1,200 for a nonsmoker male
and female age 35 both issued standard based on full underwriting. Separate
tables are shown for the current and guaranteed schedule of charges. These
tables will assist in comparison of Death Benefits and Cash Surrender Values for
the Policy with those under other variable life policies which may be issued by
MassMutual or other companies.

1. The illustration on page 47 is for a Policy issued to a male nonsmoker age
35 for a Selected Face Amount of $100,000 using Death Benefit Option 1.
The premium payment is $1,200 using a current schedule of charges.

2. The illustration on page 48 is for a Policy issued to a male nonsmoker age
35 for a Selected Face Amount of $100,000 using Death Benefit Option 1.
The premium payment is $1,200 using a guaranteed schedule of charges.

3. The illustration on page 49 is for a Policy issued to a male nonsmoker age
35 for a Selected Face Amount of $100,000 using Death Benefit Option 2.
The premium payment is $1,200 using a current schedule of charges.

4. The illustration on page 50 is for a Policy issued to a male nonsmoker age
35 for a Selected Face Amount of $100,000 using Death Benefit Option 2.
The premium payment is $1,200 using a guaranteed schedule of charges.

5. The illustration on page 51 is for a Policy issued to a female nonsmoker
age 35 for a Selected Face Amount of $100,000 using Death Benefit Option 1.
The premium payment is $1,200 using a current schedule of charges.

6. The illustration on page 52 is for a Policy issued to a female nonsmoker
age 35 for a Selected Face Amount of $100,000 using Death Benefit Option 1.
The premium payment is $1,200 using a guaranteed schedule of charges.

7. The illustration on page 53 is for a Policy issued to a female nonsmoker
age 35 for a Selected Face Amount of $100,000 using Death Benefit Option 2.
The premium payment is $1,200 using a current schedule of charges.

8. The illustration on page 54 is for a Policy issued to a female nonsmoker
age 35 for a Selected Face Amount of $100,000 using Death Benefit Option 2.
The premium payment is $1,200 using a guaranteed schedule of charges.

The Death Benefits and Cash Surrender Values for a Policy would be different
from the amount shown if the rates of return averaged 0%, 6%, and 12% over a
period of years but varied above and below that average in individual Policy
Years. They would also differ if any Policy loan were made during the period of
time illustrated. They would also be different depending upon the allocation of
investment value to each Division. They would also be different depending upon
the allocation of investment value to each Division, if the rates of return for
all the Funds averaged 0%, 6%, and 12% but varied above or below that average
for particular Funds.

The Death Benefits and Cash Surrender Values should, in illustrations 1, 3, 5
and 7, reflect the following current charges:

1. Administrative Charges equal to $6.00 per Policy charge for nonqualified
policies.

2. Cost of Insurance Charge, based on the current rates being charged by the
Company for standard, fully underwritten risks.

3. Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, which is equal to .55% on an annual
basis, of the net asset value of the Fund shares held by the Separate
Account.

4. Fund level expenses of .67% on an annual basis, of the net assets value of
the Fund shares held by the Separate Account. These fund level expenses
represent the unweighted average of all fund expenses.

The Death Benefits and Cash Surrender Values show in illustrations 2, 4, 6 and 8
reflect these guaranteed maximum charges*:

1. Administrative Charges equal to $9.00 per Policy.

2. Cost of Insurance Charge based on 1980 CSO Mortality Table.

3. Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, which is equal to .90% on an annual
basis, of the net asset value of the Fund shares held by the Separate
Account.

4. Fund level expenses of .74% on an annual basis, of the net assets value of
the Fund shares held by the Separate Account. These fund level expenses
represent the unweighted average of all fund expenses. The Oppenheimer
Trust does not have a guaranteed maximum for Fund expenses; therefore, the
figure includes current charges for the Oppenheimer Trust.

Cash Surrender Values shown in the tables reflect the deduction of the
applicable Administrative Surrender Charge (during the first 15 Policy Years)
and the applicable Sales Load Surrender Charge (also during the first 15 Policy
Years.) Taking into account the current Mortality and Expense Risk Charge and
the Fund level expenses, the effect is that for gross annual rates of return of
0%, 6%, and 12%, the actual rate of return would be -- 1.241, 4.685 and 10.611%
respectively.

MassMutual has agreed to bear the expenses of the Funds(other than the
management fee, interest taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses) in excess of .11% of average daily net assets value of each MML Fund
through April 30, 1996.

Currently no charge is made against the Separate Account for federal income
taxes but the Company reserves the right to charge

45
<PAGE>

the Separate Account for federal income taxes attributable to the Separate
Account if such taxes are imposed in the future.

The second column of each table shows the amount which would accumulate if an
amount equal to the annual premium were invested to earn interest after taxes of
5% per year, compounded annually.

The tables are based on the assumptions that the Policyowner has not requested
an increase or decrease in the Selected Face Amount, that no Policy loans have
been made, and no transaction charges have been incurred, and that the entire
Account Value under the Policy is allocated to the Funds.

PROSPECTUS

DATED MAY 1, 1995

MML SERIES INVESTMENT FUND
1295 STATE STREET
SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS
(413) 788-8411

MML Series Investment Fund (the "MML Trust") is a no-load, diversified, open-end
management investment company having four separate series of shares (the
"Funds"), each of which has different investment objectives and is designed to
meet different investment needs.

THE FUNDS

MML EQUITY FUND - The investment objectives are primarily to achieve a superior
total rate of return over an extended period of time from both capital
appreciation and current income and secondarily, depending upon business and
economic conditions, to preserve capital. The Fund invests primarily in
equity-type securities.

MML MONEY MARKET FUND - The investment objectives are to achieve high current
income, the preservation of capital, and liquidity. The Fund invests in
short-term debt instruments, including commercial paper, certificates of
deposit, bankers' acceptances, and obligations of the United States, its
agencies and instrumentalities. AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND IS NEITHER INSURED NOR
GUARANTEED BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE FUND
WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN A STABLE NET ASSET VALUE OF $1.00 PER SHARE.

MML MANAGED BOND FUND - The investment objective is to achieve as high a total
rate of return on an annual basis as is considered consistent with the
preservation of capital. The Fund invests primarily in investment grade,
publicly-traded, fixed income securities.

MML BLEND FUND - The investment objective is to achieve as high a level of total
rate of return over an extended period of time as is considered consistent with
prudent investment risk and the preservation of capital. The Fund invests in a
portfolio of common stocks and other equity-type securities, bonds and other
debt securities with maturities generally exceeding one year, and money market
instruments and other debt securities with maturities not exceeding one year.

For further information about each Fund's investment objectives and policies,
see "THE FUNDS" on page 8. There is no assurance that the investment objectives
of the Funds will be realized.

This Prospectus sets forth concisely the information about MML Trust and the
Funds that a prospective investor ought to know before investing. Certain
additional information about MML Trust and the Funds is contained in a Statement
of Additional Information dated May 1, 1995, which has been filed with the

II. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

A. ECONOMIC AND INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT

The U.S. economy turned in a strong economic performance during 1994 with real
Gross Domestic Product growth in the 3.5 to 4 percent range. The force behind
the expansion continued to be the consumer, whose confidence rose early during
the year and remained high throughout the period. This performance is
especially impressive given that the growth occurred against a background of
sharply rising interest rates and a Federal Reserve Board (``Fed'') determined
to keep the economy from overheating. The Fed moved strongly during 1994,
raising the discount rate 3 times and the Fed funds' target 6 times. Reflecting
this tightening, yields on three month Treasury bills climbed more than 2.5
percent during the year.

One of the most notable economic statistics for 1994 was the growth in nonfarm
payrolls. Approximately $3.5 million new additions were made to nonfarm
payrolls throughout the year. This figure clearly benefited the consumer
causing personal incomes to rise at a pace around 6 percent. Another strong
point for the U.S. economy last year was the price picture which remained calm
as the Consumer Price Index moved up at roughly a 2.7 percent pace. Housing
starts remained high during 1994, despite an almost 2 percent increase in
mortgage rates. Other bright spots last year included business investment, auto
and truck sales, consumer durables and productivity in the manufacturing sector.

A notable drag on the economy was the performance of the trade deficit which
widened during the year. Our strong economy, combined with slower than expected
recoveries in other parts of the world, caused our net imports to rise. Another
drag on the economy, as noted above, was the 1994 performance of interest rates.
Three month Treasury bills climbed by more than 2.5 percent, while 30 year
Treasury bonds rose by more than 1.5 percent. Price increases were also evident
last year with base commodities climbing at double digit rates. Another concern
with regard to pricing is the level of capacity utilization (a measure of
producer output), which is at levels where price increases have historically
developed.

B. INVESTMENT OUTLOOK

In response to the Fed's tightening, interest rates moved significantly higher
during 1994, resulting in poorly performing bond markets. As an example, the
total return of the Lehman Government/Corporate index was a negative 3.5 percent
for 1994. Despite increasing corporate profits, the stock markets were hampered
by the sharp increase in rates. As a result, the 1994 total return for the
Standard & Poor's 500 index was only 1.3 percent.

During the first quarter of 1995, the bond market will likely be impacted by the
actions of the Federal Reserve. It seems reasonable to assume that the Fed will
continue to increase rates in early-mid 1995. This should cause economic growth
to moderate over the second half, which would be more beneficial to bonds. The
stock market will take its cue from the interaction of interest rate moves and
corporate profits.

C. MML EQUITY

The Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index closed out 1994 with the third consecutive
year of very low volatility. However, the narrow trading range for the S & P
500 masked considerable volatility within the market. This internal volatility,
although possibly detrimental to investment performance, is not totally
unwelcome because it creates opportunities for value-oriented investors.

In the second half of 1994, we repurchased two portfolio companies previously
sold a few years ago, and implemented three new equity positions. In an effort
to increase the portfolio's exposure to the health care area, Schering-Plough, a
pharmaceutical and personal care products company, was repurchased after being
sold in 1990. Roadway Services, a diversified transportation company, was
repurchased at an attractive price after being sold off in 1992 at a substantial
gain. New companies to the portfolio included Honeywell, a leading factor in
commercial avionic systems and industrial process controls, Kerr-McGee, a medium
sized integrated energy company, and Pepsico, the leading producer of salty
snacks in the U. S. and the number two producer of soft drink concentrates in
the world.

Three stocks were eliminated from the portfolio during the period. Gerber
Products was sold at a substantial gain subsequent to a tender offer; Crane
Company, a relatively small holding in the fund, was sold at a more modest
profit, and Lehman Brothers Holdings was sold. Fourteen positions were reduced
in size during the fourth quarter, while 16 were increased through additional
purchases. For the full year, eleven new stocks were added to the portfolio
while ten were eliminated.

EQUITY FUND

D. MML MONEY MARKET

The Fed aggressively tightened monetary policy throughout 1994 as it strived to
maintain economic expansion at a sustainable pace. During 1994 the Fed raised
the Federal funds target rate on six occasions between February and November for
an increase of 250 basis points to 5.50 percent. Additionally, the Fed
increased the discount rate three times for a total of 175 basis points to 4.75
percent.

As anticipation of the Fed's actions continued to convey uncertainty to the
market, the portfolio's average life fluctuated in the range of 32 to 52 days.
The Fund ended the year with an average life of 36 days as the portfolio was
continually monitored and adjusted to optimize return. Appropriately, given the
higher interest rate environment, the portfolio's seven-day yield increased
nearly 240 basis points to end the year at 5.31 percent.

MONEY MARKET FUND

[MONEY MARKET FUND GRAPH APPEARS HERE]

E. MML MANAGED BOND

This past calendar year was one of the worst in the bond market's history.
Negative returns were posted across almost the entire maturity spectrum and
across almost all market sectors. Only short maturities posted positive returns
for the year. Short-term rates responded dramatically to the Fed's actions as
they increased between 261 and 350 basis points. Intermediate-term Treasuries
rose approximately 250 basis points. The long-end of the market, thirty-year
bonds, reacted modestly in comparison by rising only 153 basis points. The
Treasury yield curve flattened dramatically during the year as short-term
interest rates rose more than long rates. The bulk of the flattening of the
curve occurred beyond the two year area.

The Managed Bond Fund has remained relatively consistent in its sector
allocations over the course of the year. Early in the first quarter, we
increased our position in the corporate sector, however by year-end we moved
this position back slightly. The reduction in our corporate holdings was made as
spreads declined to historically low levels. During the later part of the third
quarter and the first part of the fourth quarter, additional purchases of
asset-backed securities were made. Our mortgage position, however, was
relatively unchanged over the year. The remaining holdings are invested in
Treasuries, U.S. government agencies, and money market instruments.

F. MML BLEND

The Blend Fund combines the profiles of the MML Equity, Bond, and Money Market
Funds into a single portfolio. The specific allocation of stocks, bonds, and
money market issues is based upon the interrelation of current economic and
financial conditions and the values available in the stock and bond markets. As
these relationships change, the exposure to each capital market is gradually
adjusted within the designated ranges. On December 31, 1994, 53 percent of the
Fund was invested in common stocks, 19 percent in marketable bonds, and 28
percent in short-term securities.

III. GENERAL INFORMATION

MML Trust is a no-load, diversified, open-end management investment company,
objectives and policies. MML Trust was organized as a business trust under the
laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts pursuant to an Agreement and
Declaration of Trust dated December 19, 1984, as most recently amended on or
about April 16, 1993. MML Trust was established by Massachusetts Mutual Life
Insurance Company ("MassMutual") for the purpose of providing a vehicle for the
investment of assets of various separate investment accounts established by
MassMutual and its life insurance company subsidiaries, including MML Bay State
Life Insurance Company ("MML Bay State").

Shares of the Funds are offered solely to separate investment accounts
established by MassMutual and any life insurance company subsidiary.

MassMutual is responsible for providing all investment advisory, management, and
administrative services needed by the Funds pursuant to investment management
agreements. MassMutual has entered into investment sub-advisory agreements with
Concert Capital Management, Inc. ("Concert"), a second tier, wholly-owned
subsidiary of MassMutual. These agreements provide that Concert will manage the
equity investments of MML Equity Fund ("MML Equity") and the Equity Sector (the
"Equity Sector") of MML Blend Fund ("MML Blend"). Both MassMutual and Concert
are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") as
investment advisers (MassMutual and Concert referred to hereafter as
"Advisers"). For further information, see "Investment Managers" p.13.

IV. THE FUNDS

The investment objectives of each Fund discussed below are fundamental policies
and may not be changed without the vote of a majority of that Fund's outstanding
voting shares (as used in this Prospectus, a majority of the outstanding voting
shares of any Fund means the lesser of (1) 67% of that Fund's outstanding shares
present at a meeting of the shareholders if more than 50% of the outstanding
shares are present in person or by proxy, or (2) more than 50% of that Fund's
outstanding shares). There is no assurance that the investment objectives of the
Funds will be realized. The success of these objectives depends to a great
extent upon managements' ability to assess changes in business and economic
conditions. For further information about investment policies and techniques,
see "Investment Practices of the Fund and Related Risks," at page 10.

A. MML EQUITY FUND

THE PRIMARY INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE OF MML EQUITY FUND ("MML EQUITY") IS TO
ACHIEVE A SUPERIOR TOTAL RATE OF RETURN OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME FROM
BOTH CAPITAL APPRECIATION AND CURRENT INCOME.

A secondary investment objective is the preservation of capital when business
and economic conditions indicate that investing for defensive purposes is
appropriate. Occasional investments may be made with the objective of short-term
appreciation when in the judgment of Concert general economic conditions dictate
that they may benefit MML Equity and are consistent with sound investment
procedure.

Normally, the assets of MML Equity will be invested primarily in common stocks
and other equity-type securities such as preferred stocks, securities
convertible into common stocks and warrants. Investments are made in securities
of companies which, in the opinion of Concert Capital, are of high quality,
offer above-average dividend growth potential and are attractively valued in the
marketplace. Investment quality and dividend growth potential are evaluated
using fundamental analysis emphasizing each issuer's historical financial
performance, balance sheet strength, management capability and competitive
position. Various valuation parameters are examined to determine the
attractiveness of individual securities. On average, the Fund's portfolio
securities will have price/earnings ratios and price/book value ratios below
those of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index (the "S&P 500
Stock Index"). Consideration is also given to securities of companies whose
current prices do not adequately reflect, in the opinion of Concert Capital, the
ongoing business value of the enterprise. These investments may be maintained in
both rising and declining markets. Concert intends to engage in the active
management of MML Equity's portfolio. The portfolio of the Fund is managed by
David B. Salerno, Managing Director of the Value Equity Group of Concert
Capital. He has been associated with MassMutual since 1975 and with Concert
Capital since January 1, 1993.

B. MML MONEY MARKET FUND

THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES OF MML MONEY MARKET FUND ("MML MONEY MARKET") ARE TO
ACHIEVE HIGH CURRENT INCOME, THE PRESERVATION OF CAPITAL, AND LIQUIDITY. THESE
OBJECTIVES ARE OF EQUAL IMPORTANCE.

MML Money Market will invest only in short-term (i.e., 397 days or less
remaining to maturity) debt instruments, including but not limited to commercial
paper; certificates of deposit; bankers' acceptances; short-term corporate
obligations; obligations issued, sponsored, assumed or guaranteed as to
principal and interest by the government of the United States, its agencies or
instrumentalities ("U.S. Government securities"); and certain repurchase
agreements with respect to any of the securities listed above (which underlying
securities must be of the highest quality at the time the repurchase agreement
is entered into but which securities may have maturities of more than one year).
MML Money Market's dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity will be maintained
at 90 days or less.

MML Money Market's non-fundamental investment policy is that, at the time it
acquires a security, it will invest 100% of its net assets in Tier 1 Securities,
but it retains the right to invest no more than 5% of its net assets in Tier 2
Securities. A Tier 1 Security is one that is rated in the highest rating
category by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization
("NRSRO") such as Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") or Moody's Investors
Service, Inc. ("Moody's"). MML Money Market will invest no more than 5% of its
total assets in Tier 2 Securities. A Tier 2 Security is one that is rated in the
second highest rating category by at least one NRSRO. Securities which are
unrated may also qualify as

8
<PAGE>

Tier 1 and Tier 2 Securities if so determined by the Board of Trustees of MML
Trust (the "Board of Trustees"). For a description of S&P and Moody's ratings,
see the Statement of Additional Information.

Certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances will be limited to obligations
of banks having deposits of at least $1,000,000,000 as of their most recently
published financial statements. The obligations of U.S. banks in which MML Money
Market may invest include Eurodollar obligations of their foreign branches. In
the case of foreign banks, the $1,000,000,000 deposit requirement will be
computed using exchange rates in effect at the time of their most recently
published financial statements.

Obligations of foreign issuers, including foreign branches of U.S. banks, will
not be acquired if MML Money Market's investment in such obligations would
exceed in the aggregate 25% of its net assets. Foreign obligations may be
affected by foreign governmental action, including imposition of currency
controls, interest limitations, withholding taxes, seizure of assets or the
declaration of a moratorium or restriction on payments of principal or interest.
Foreign branches of U.S. banks and foreign banks may provide less public
information than, and may not be subject to the same accounting, auditing and
financial record-keeping standards, as domestic banks.

MML Money Market will make portfolio investments primarily in anticipation of or
in response to changing economic and money market conditions and trends. Trading
activity is expected to be relatively low. However, it is anticipated that from
time to time, MML Money Market will take advantage of temporary disparities in
the yield relationships among the different segments of the money market or
among particular instruments within the same segment of the market to make
purchases and sales when MassMutual deems that such transactions will improve
the yield or the quality of the portfolio.

The high quality debt instruments in which MML Money Market invests may not
offer as high a yield as may be achieved from lower quality instruments having
less safety. While MML Money Market invests exclusively in First and Second Tier
Securities, investment in MML Money Market is not without risk. If MML Money
Market disposes of an obligation prior to maturity, it may realize a loss or
gain. An increase in interest rates will generally reduce the value of portfolio
investments. In addition, investments are subject to the ability of the issuer
to make payment at maturity. MML Money Market will reassess whether a particular
security presents minimal credit risks in certain circumstances. For example, if
a security ceases to be a Second Tier Security, MML Money Market would dispose
of any such security as soon as practical.

C. MML MANAGED BOND FUND

THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE OF MML MANAGED BOND FUND ("MML MANAGED BOND") IS TO
ACHIEVE AS HIGH A TOTAL RATE OF RETURN ON AN ANNUAL BASIS AS IS CONSIDERED
CONSISTENT WITH THE PRESERVATION OF CAPITAL.

Normally, the assets of MML Managed Bond will be invested primarily in
investment grade, publicly-traded, fixed income securities of such maturities as
MassMutual deems appropriate from time to time in light of market conditions and
prospects. Except when invested for defensive purposes, at least 80% of total
invested assets at market value at the time of a purchase will consist of U.S.
Government securities and investment grade quality debt securities which have
been rated in the top four rating categories by S&P (AAA, AA, A or BBB) or
Moody's (Aaa, Aa, A or Baa) or, if unrated, which are judged by MassMutual to be
of equivalent quality to securities so rated. While debt securities rated BBB or
Baa are investment grade securities, they have speculative characteristics and
are subject to greater credit risk, and may be subject to greater market risk,
than higher-rated investment grade securities.

The remaining 20% of MML Managed Bond's total invested assets may be invested in
lower quality debt instruments and preferred stocks. Lower quality debt
instruments generally provide higher yields but are generally subject to greater
market fluctuations and risk of loss of income and principal than higher quality
debt securities. MassMutual seeks to reduce these risks through diversification,
credit analysis and attention to current developments and trends in both the
economy and the financial markets. During 1994, no debt securities were acquired
by MML Managed Bond which were not rated at least BBB/-/ by S&P or Baa/3/ by
Moody's.

In implementing the policies set forth in the preceding two paragraphs, MML
Managed Bond may also invest in the following:

(1) obligations (payable in U.S. dollars) issued or guaranteed as to principal
and interest by the Government of Canada, a Province of Canada, or any
instrumentality or political subdivision thereof, provided that no such
investment will be made if it would result in more than 25% of MML Managed
Bond's net assets being invested in such securities;

(2) publicly-traded debt securities issued or guaranteed by a national or state
bank holding company (as defined in the Federal Bank Holding Company Act, as
amended) having a rating within the three highest grades as determined by
Moody's (Aaa, Aa, or A) or S&P (AAA, AA, or A), and certificates of deposit of
such banks; and

(3) securities of foreign issuers, provided however, MML Managed Bond may invest
not more than 10% of its net assets in such securities, except as provided in
(1) above.

If MML Managed Bond disposes of an obligation prior to maturity, it may realize
a loss or a gain. An increase in interest rates will generally reduce the value
of portfolio investments, and a decline in interest rates will generally
increase the value of portfolio investments. In addition, investments are
subject to the ability of the issuer to make payment at maturity.

Normally, the Fund's duration will range from four to seven years. Portfolio
changes will be accomplished primarily through the reinvestment of cash flows
and selective trading.

The portfolio of the Fund is managed by Mary E. Wilson, Vice President and
Managing Director of MassMutual, with which she has been associated since 1982.
As such, she oversees all public fixed income trading for MassMutual and its
related subsidiaries and affiliates.

D. MML BLEND FUND

THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE OF MML BLEND FUND ("BLEND") IS TO ACHIEVE AS HIGH
A LEVEL OF TOTAL RATE OF RETURN OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AS IS CONSIDERED
CONSISTENT WITH PRUDENT INVESTMENT RISK AND THE PRESERVATION OF CAPITAL.

The Advisers will adjust the mix of investments among its three market sectors
to capitalize on perceived variations in return potential produced by the
interaction of changing financial market and economic conditions. The Advisers
expects that such adjustments will normally be made in a gradual manner over a
period of time. No investment will be made that would result in more than 90% of
MML Blend's net assets being invested in the Equity Sector or in more than 50%
of MML Blend's net assets being invested in the Bond Sector. Up to 100% of MML
Blend's net assets may be invested in the Money Market Sector. No minimum
percentage has been established for any of the sectors.

In addition to MML Blend's investment objective, each of its market sectors has
a specific investment objective. Within the Equity Sector, MML Blend will
attempt to achieve a superior total rate of return over an extended period of
time from both capital appreciation and current income. Within the Bond Sector,
MML Blend will attempt to achieve as high a total rate of return on an annual
basis as is considered consistent with the preservation of capital. Within the
Money Market Sector, MML Blend will attempt to achieve high current income, the
preservation of capital, and liquidity. The portfolio of the Fund is managed by
committee.

In seeking a high rate of return from dividends, interest income and capital
appreciation as well as in seeking to preserve capital, Advisers intend to
engage in the active management of MML Blend's portfolio. (See "Portfolio
Management" on page 12).

The portfolio of MML Blend will be invested in the following three market
sectors:

1. EQUITY SECTOR

The Equity Sector generally invests in equity-type securities in a substantially
similar manner as described in the discussion of MML Equity Fund on page 8.

2. BOND SECTOR

The Bond Sector generally invests in the types of bonds and other debt
securities described in the discussion of MML Managed Bond on page 9 with
maturities usually exceeding one year. The Bond Sector may also invest in debt
securities not described above, including lower quality securities and non-rated
securities acquired directly from issuers in direct placement transactions,
provided no such transaction shall cause such debt securities to exceed 10% of
MML Blend's total assets. Lower quality debt instruments generally provide
higher yields but are generally subject to greater market fluctuations and risk
of loss of income and principal than higher quality debt securities. During
1994, no debt securities were acquired by MML Blend which were not rated at
least BBB by S&P or Baa by Moody's.

3. MONEY MARKET SECTOR

The Money Market Sector invests in money market instruments and other debt
securities with maturities generally not exceeding one year, including:

(a) U.S. Treasury Bills and other U.S. Government securities;

(b) obligations (payable in U.S. dollars) issued or guaranteed as to principal
and interest by the Government of Canada, a Province of Canada, or any
instrumentality or political subdivision thereof, provided such obligations do
not exceed 25% of MML Blend Fund's total assets;

(c) obligations payable in U.S. dollars (including certificates of deposit, time
deposits or bankers' acceptances) of U.S. or Canadian chartered banks having
total deposits in excess of $1,000,000,000, U.S. branches of foreign banks where
said foreign banks have total deposits in excess of $1,000,000,000, U.S. savings
and loan associations having total deposits in excess of $1,000,000,000, and
Eurodollar certificates of deposit issued by foreign branches of U.S. banks
where said U.S. banks have total deposits in excess of $1,000,000,000;

Obligations of foreign banks and of foreign branches of U.S. banks may be
affected by foreign governmental action, including imposition of currency
controls, interest limitations, withholding taxes, seizure of assets or the
declaration of a moratorium or restriction on payments of principal or interest.
Foreign banks and foreign branches of U.S. banks may provide less public
information than, and may not be subject to the same accounting, auditing and
financial record-keeping standards as, domestic banks;

(d) commercial paper, including variable amount master notes, having a rating at
the time of purchase within the two highest grades as determined by Moody's (P-1
or P-2) or S&P (A-1 or A-2), or commercial paper or notes issued by companies
with an unsecured debt issue outstanding having a rating at the time of purchase
within the three highest grades as determined by Moody's (Aaa, Aa or A) or S&P
(AAA, AA or A) and U.S. dollar denominated foreign commercial paper;

(e) publicly-traded bonds, debentures and notes having a rating within the four
highest grades as determined by Moody's (Aaa, Aa, A or Baa) or S&P (AAA, AA, A
or BBB);

(f) repurchase agreements on any of the securities listed in paragraphs (a)
through (e) above, and

(g) securities of foreign issuers; provided, however, MML Blend may invest not
more than 10% of its net assets in such securities except as provided in (b) and
(c) above.

While debt securities rated BBB or Baa are investment grade securities, they
have speculative characteristics and are subject to greater credit risk, and may
be subject to greater market risk, than higher-rated investment grade
securities.

V. INVESTMENT PRACTICES
OF THE FUNDS AND
RELATED RISKS

In managing their portfolios of investments, the Funds, pursuant to policies
adopted by the Board of Trustees or where considered appropriate by Advisers,
may engage in various investment-related practices. The Funds' significant
investment practices, which are pursuant to non-fundamental policies and
therefore may be changed by the Board of Trustees without consent of
shareholders, regarding these investment transactions and practices are
discussed below. For further information see the Statement of Additional
Information.

A. DERIVATIVES TRANSACTIONS

Each Fund is authorized to engage in transactions involving derivatives, as more
fully described in the Statement of Additional Information. For example, the
Funds may enter into financial futures transactions, write and purchase call and
put options, including call options on securities and futures, enter into
forward contracts and swap agreements, and other similar instruments
(collectively referred to as "Derivatives").

The Funds may use Derivatives to attempt to: (a) protect against possible
declines in the market value of a Fund's portfolio resulting from downward
trends in the debt securities markets generally due to increasing interest
rates, (b) protect a Fund's unrealized gains or limit unrealized losses in the
value of its securities, (c) to establish a position in the debt securities
markets as a temporary substitute for purchasing or selling particular debt
securities, (d) to manage the effective maturity or duration of fixed-income
securities in a Fund's portfolio, or (e) to manage its exposure to changing
security prices (collectively, "Derivatives Transactions"). Most, if not all, of
the hedging activity will involve the portfolios of MML Managed Bond and the
Bond Sector of MML Blend as MML Trust has no present intent to enter into
derivatives transactions with regard to MML Money Market, MML Equity, or the
Equity or Money Market Sectors of MML Blend. The Funds will not use Derivatives
for speculative purposes.

1. DERIVATIVES

Some of the Derivatives a Fund may use in Derivatives Transactions are described
below.

a. FINANCIAL FUTURES: Each Fund may enter into exchange-traded futures contracts
for the purchase or sale of debt obligations in order to hedge against
anticipated changes in interest rates. The purpose of hedging in debt
obligations is to establish with more certainty than would otherwise be possible
the effective rate of return on portfolio securities. A futures contract on debt
obligations is a binding contractual commitment which, if held to maturity, will
result in an obligation to make or accept delivery, during a particular month,
of obligations having a standardized face value and rate of return. However,
positions taken in the futures markets are not normally held to maturity, but
are instead liquidated through offsetting transactions which may result in a
gain or a loss.

b. CALL AND PUT OPTIONS: Each Fund may write covered call options which are
traded on a national securities exchange with respect to securities in its
portfolio, provided that at all times it will have in its portfolio the
securities which it may be obligated to deliver if the option is exercised or
securities currently convertible into those securities. Each Fund may write call
options on securities in its portfolio in an attempt to realize a greater
current return than would be realized on the securities alone. The Fund may also
enter into "closing purchase transactions" in order to terminate its obligation
as a writer of a call option prior to the expiration of the option.

Each Fund may write covered put options. Put options are "covered" by a Fund,
for example, when it has established a segregated account of cash, short-term
money market instruments or high quality debt securities that can be liquidated
quickly to satisfy any obligation of the Fund to purchase the underlying
security. Each Fund may also write straddles (combinations of calls and puts on
the same underlying security). The writing of straddles generates additional
premium income but may present greater risk.

c. FORWARD CONTRACTS: Each Fund may purchase or sell securities on a "when
issued" or delayed delivery or on a forward commitment basis ("forward
contracts"). When such transactions are negotiated, the price is fixed at the
time of commitment, but delivery and payment for the securities can take place a
month or more after the commitment date. The securities so purchased or sold are
subject to market fluctuations, and no interest accrues to the purchaser during
this period. At the time of delivery, the securities may be worth more or less
than the purchase or sale price.

If a Fund enters into a forward contract, it will establish a segregated account
consisting of cash or high-grade obligations having a current market value equal
to or greater than the aggregate amount of that Fund's commitment under forward
contracts (that is, the purchase price of the underlying security on the
delivery date). While the Funds may also enter into forward contracts with the
initial intention of acquiring securities for its portfolio, they may dispose of
a commitment prior to settlement if Advisers deems it appropriate to do so. The
Funds may realize short-term gains or losses upon the sale of forward contracts.
As an alternative to maintaining all or part of the segregated account, a Fund
could buy call or put options to "cover" the forward contracts.

d. INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS: Each Fund may enter into interest rate swap
agreements and related products, such as interest rate caps and floors, in an
attempt to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of
its portfolio, or, to protect against any increase in the price of securities a
Fund might consider purchasing at a later date. Interest rate swaps involve the
exchange by a Fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or
receive interest, such as an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate
payments.

e. CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS: The Bond Fund and the Bond Sector of MML Blend may
invest in foreign securities that are not denominated in U.S. dollars only if
the Fund contemporaneously enters into a foreign currency transaction to hedge
the currency risk associated with the particular foreign security.

11
<PAGE>

f. OTHER INSTRUMENTS: Each Fund may use other Derivatives and enter into other
Derivatives transactions that are, or become, appropriate in the context of each
Fund's investment objectives and policies - and in a manner and to the extent
permitted by law and authorized by the Board of Trustees.

2. DERIVATIVES - RISK FACTORS

There can be no assurance that the use of Derivatives by any of the Funds will
assist it in achieving its investment objectives. Risks inherent in the use of
Derivatives include: (1) the risk that interest rates and securities prices will
not move in the direction anticipated; (2) imperfect correlation between the
prices of futures, options, and forward contracts and the prices of the
securities being hedged; (3) the fact that skills needed to use these strategies
are different from those needed to select portfolio securities; (4) the possible
absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument at any time;
(5) futures contracts and options can be highly volatile; (6) the writing of
call options could result in increases in the Funds' portfolio turnover rate,
especially during periods when market prices of the underlying securities
appreciate; (7) the possible need to defer closing out certain hedged positions
to avoid adverse tax consequences; (8) the risk that a Fund will not be able to
effect closing purchase transactions as to call options it has written at any
particular time or at any acceptable price; (9) forward contracts involve a risk
of a loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the
settlement date, which is in addition to the risk of decline of the Funds' other
assets, and (10) the inability of counterparties to perform.

3. DERIVATIVES - LIMITATIONS

MML Trust has imposed certain specific limitations on its use of derivatives.
For example: (1) a Fund would not enter into a futures contract if, as a result,
more than 5% of the Fund's total assets would be committed to initial margin
deposits on such contracts; (2) a Fund will not purchase a put or call option on
securities or investment related instruments if as a result more than 5% of its
total assets would be attributable to premiums paid for such options; (3) a Fund
would not write a covered call or put option if as a result more than 20% of the
Fund's total assets would be in one or more segregated accounts covering call
and put options; and (4) a Fund would not enter into a forward contract if as a
result more than 25% of the Fund's total assets would be in one or more
segregated accounts covering forward contracts.

B. PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Advisers intend to use trading as a means of managing the portfolios of the
Funds in seeking to achieve their investment objectives. Advisers, on behalf of
the Funds, will engage in trading when they believe that the trade, net of
transaction costs, will improve interest income or capital appreciation
potential, or will lessen capital loss potential.

Whether the goals discussed above will be achieved through trading depends on
Advisers' ability to evaluate particular securities and anticipate relevant
market factors, including interest rate trends and variations from such trends.
Such trading places a premium on Advisers' ability to obtain relevant
information, evaluate it properly and take advantage of their evaluations by
completing transactions on a favorable basis. If Advisers' evaluations and
expectations prove to be incorrect, a Fund's income or capital appreciation may
be reduced and its capital losses may be increased. Portfolio trading involves
transaction costs, but, as explained above, will be engaged in when Advisers
believe that the result of the trading, net of transaction costs, will benefit
the Funds.

C. RESTRICTED AND ILLIQUID SECURITIES

The Funds may invest in illiquid securities up to 15% (10% in the case of MML
Money Market) of each Fund's net assets. Each Fund currently expects to invest,
if anything, no more than 10% of its net assets in such securities. This policy
does not limit purchases of securities eligible for resale to qualified
institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 that
are determined to be liquid by the Board of Trustees or by Advisers pursuant to
Board approved guidelines. Such guidelines take into account trading activity
for such securities and the availability of reliable pricing information, among
other factors. If there is a lack of trading interest in particular Rule 144A
securities, a Fund's holdings of those securities may be illiquid. There may be
undesirable delays in selling these securities at prices representing fair
value.

D. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

MML Money Market, MML Managed Bond and MML Blend may engage in repurchase
agreements and MML Blend may engage in reverse repurchase agreements. A
repurchase agreement is a contract pursuant to which a Fund agrees to purchase a
security and simultaneously agrees to resell it at an agreed-upon price at a
stated time, thereby determining the yield during the Fund's holding period. A
reverse repurchase agreement is a contract pursuant to which a Fund agrees to
sell a security and simultaneously agrees to repurchase it at an agreed-upon
price at a stated time. For a more detailed description of repurchase agreements
and reverse repurchase agreements, see the Statement of Additional Information.

E. SECURITIES LENDING

MML Managed Bond and MML Blend may make loans of portfolio securities of not
more than 10% of their respective total assets taken at current value, thereby
realizing additional income. Although lending portfolio securities may involve
the risk of delay in recovery of the securities loaned or possible loss of
rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially, loans will be
made only to borrowers deemed by MassMutual to be of good standing.

F. FEDERAL TAXES

The extent to which the Funds may enter into Derivatives transactions and engage
in portfolio trading may be limited by the Internal Revenue Code's requirements
for qualification for regulated investment companies. It is each Fund's
intention to qualify as such. See "Certain Tax and Accounting Information" in
the Statement of Additional Information.

12
<PAGE>

G. CASH POSITIONS

Each Fund, other than MML Money Market, may hold cash or cash equivalents to
provide for liquidity (e.g. expenses and anticipated redemption payments) and so
that an orderly investment program may be carried out in accordance with the
Fund's investment policies. To provide liquidity or for temporary defensive
purposes, each Fund may invest any portion of its assets in investment grade
debt securities and MML Equity may also invest in non-convertible preferred
stocks.

VI. INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The following is a description of certain investment restrictions, and
exceptions to such restrictions, that apply to each Fund which may not be
changed without a vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of such Fund.
(For a description of additional investment restrictions, reference should be
made to the Statement of Additional Information.)

A. INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

Each Fund will not:

(1) Pledge or mortgage assets taken at market to an extent greater than 15% of
the total assets of the Fund taken at cost;

(2) Borrow money, except from banks as a temporary measure for extraordinary or
emergency purposes (but not for the purpose of making investments), and except
to the extent that each Fund engages in financial futures transactions (as
described on page 11) and in reverse repurchase agreements (as described on page
12), provided (a) that the aggregate amount of all such borrowings at the time
of borrowing does not exceed 10% of the total assets of the Fund taken at cost,
and (b) that immediately after the borrowing, and at all times thereafter, there
will be an asset coverage of at least 300% for all of the Fund's borrowings
(including all obligations under financial futures contracts on debt
obligations); and

(3) Concentrate its investments in any one industry, as determined by the Board
of Trustees, and in this connection it will not acquire securities of companies
in any one industry if, immediately after giving effect to any such acquisition,
more than 25% of the value of the total assets of the Fund would be invested in
such industry, with the following exceptions:

(a) In the case of MML Money Market there is no limitation in respect of
certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances (see "The Funds - MML Money
Market Fund" on pages 8-9).

(b) MML Money Market, MML Managed Bond and the Bond Sector of MML Blend each
may invest up to 40% of the value of their respective total assets in each
of the electric utility and telephone industries. However, it currently is
MassMutual's intent not to invest more than 25% of any one of these funds
total assets in either the electric utility or telephone industries.

B. EXCEPTIONS

(1) Notwithstanding any of the above investment restrictions or those set forth
in the Statement of Additional Information, and in addition to the authority
each Fund had as of April 30, 1993, each Fund may engage in derivatives
transactions, techniques, and practices using futures, options, swap agreements,
and similar instruments, to the extent and in a manner permitted by law.

(2) Notwithstanding any of the above investment restrictions or those set forth
in the Statement of Additional Information, each Fund may invest in any security
or investment related instrument, or engage in any investment related
transaction or practice, such as newly developed debt securities or hedging
programs, provided that the Board of Trustees has determined that to do so is
consistent with the Fund's investment objectives and policies, has adopted
reasonable guidelines for use by the Fund's Advisers and provided further that
at the time of entering into such investment or transaction such investments or
instruments account for no more than 10% of the Fund's total assets.

VII. INVESTMENT MANAGERS

MassMutual serves as investment manager of each Fund pursuant to a separate
investment management agreement executed by MassMutual and each Fund. Under the
agreements, which are substantially identical, MassMutual is authorized to
engage in portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds, subject to such general
or specific instructions as may be given by the Board of Trustees. MassMutual
also acts as the transfer agent and the dividend paying agent.

The investment management agreements between MassMutual and the Funds provide
that MassMutual will perform all administrative functions relating to the Funds
and will bear all expenses of the Funds except (1) taxes and corporate fees
payable to government agencies, (2) brokerage commissions (which may be higher
than other brokers charge if paid to a broker which provides brokerage and
research services to Advisers or for use in providing investment advice and
management to the Funds and other accounts over which Advisers exercise
investment discretion) and other capital items payable in connection with the
purchase or sale of Fund investments, (3) interest on account of any borrowings
by the Funds, (4) fees and expenses of Trustees of MML Trust who are not
interested persons, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the "1940 Act"), of the Advisers or MML Trust, and (5) fees of the Funds'
independent certified public accountants.

For providing the services described above, MassMutual is paid a quarterly fee
at the annual rate of .50% of the first $100,000,000 of the average daily net
asset value of each Fund, .45% of the next $200,000,000, .40% of the next
$200,000,000 and .35% of any excess over $500,000,000. MassMutual has agreed to
bear expenses of each Fund (other than the management fee, interest, taxes,
brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) in excess of .11% of average
daily net asset value through April 30, 1996. In 1994 MML Equity, MML Money
Market, MML Managed Bond, and MML Blend paid fees to MassMutual amounting to
.41%, .50%, .49% and .38%, respectively, of their average daily net assets
during the year.

13
<PAGE>

The investment management agreement between MassMutual and each Fund
automatically terminates: (1) unless its continuance is specifically approved at
least annually by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees,
which affirmative vote shall include a majority of the members of the Board who
are not interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of MassMutual or of MML
Trust, or (2) upon its assignment. Under the terms of each investment management
agreement, each Fund recognizes MassMutual's control of the initials "MML" and
each Fund agrees that its right to use these initials is non-exclusive and can
be terminated by MassMutual at any time. Under each agreement, MassMutual's
liability regarding its investment management obligations and duties is limited
to situations involving its willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or
reckless disregard of such obligations and duties.

MassMutual is a mutual life insurance company organized in 1851 under the laws
of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. MassMutual is licensed to transact a life,
accident and health insurance business in all states of the United States, the
District of Columbia and certain Provinces of Canada. At December 31, 1994
MassMutual had total assets of approximately $35.2 billion, including
approximately $17.7 billion in debt securities, $3.0 billion in mortgage loans,
$197.0 million in common stocks (excluding investments in subsidiaries), $1.3
billion in real estate and $2.4 billion in other investments. The persons who
are responsible for the management of the bond and money market portfolios of
MassMutual are also responsible for managing investments of the Funds.

As of January 1, 1993, MassMutual transferred its equity investment advisory
operations to Concert. All of the senior investment professionals of
MassMutual's Equity Management Department transferred to and became employees of
Concert. MassMutual indirectly owns 100% of Concert's voting stock and a
majority of Concert's Directors are officers and employees of MassMutual.
Concert manages institutional investment advisory accounts pursuant to written
contracts. As of December 31, 1994, Concert had $4.4 billion of assets under
management.

Pursuant to two investment sub-advisory agreements with MassMutual, Concert
manages the investment of the assets of MML Equity and the Equity Sector of MML
Blend and MassMutual pays Concert a quarterly fee equal to an annual rate of
.13% of the average daily net asset value. The agreements provide that they
automatically terminate upon the termination of the respective investment
management agreements between MassMutual and MML Equity and MML Blend. Concert
also serves as the investment sub-adviser to Oppenheimer Value Stock Fund which
had net assets of $104 million as of December 31, 1994.

Securities held by the Funds are also frequently held by Advisers in their
investment accounts and by other investment companies for which Advisers act as
investment advisers. If the same security is purchased or sold for any Fund and
such investment account or companies at the same time, such purchases or sales
normally will be combined, to the extent practicable, and will be allocated as
nearly as practicable on a pro rata basis in proportion to the amounts to be
purchased or sold for each. In determining the amounts to be purchased or sold,
the main factors to be considered will be the investment objectives of the
respective portfolios, the relative size of portfolio holdings of the same or
comparable security, availability of cash for investment by the various
portfolios and the size of their respective investment commitments. It is
believed that the ability of the Funds to participate in larger volume
transactions will, in most cases, produce better execution for the Funds. In
some cases, however, this procedure could have a detrimental effect on the price
and amount of a security available to a Fund or the price at which a security
may be sold. It is the opinion of MML Trust's management that, such execution
advantage and the desirability of retaining Advisers as investment managers of
the Funds outweigh the disadvantages, if any, which might result from this
procedure.

VIII. CAPITAL SHARES

MML Trust is a "series" company which is authorized to issue shares in separate
series of the same class. Shares of four series have been authorized,
constituting the interests in the four Funds described in this Prospectus. Under
MML Trust's Declaration of Trust, however, the Board of Trustees is authorized
to create new shares in addition to the Funds without the necessity of a vote of
shareholders of MML Trust. MML Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares of
the same class, in one or more series as MML Trustees may authorize, with or
without par value as MML Trustees may prescribe. Each share of a particular
series represents an equal proportionate interest in that series with each other
share of the same series, none having priority or preference over another. Each
series shall be preferred over all other series in respect of the assets
allocated to that series. Each share of a particular series is entitled to a pro
rata share of any distributions declared by that series and, in the event of
liquidation, a pro rata share of the net assets of that series remaining after
satisfaction of outstanding liabilities. When issued, shares are fully paid and
nonassessable and have no preemptive, conversion or subscription rights.

MML Trust is not required to hold annual meetings of shareholders. Special
meetings may be called for purposes such as electing MML Trustees, voting on
management agreements, and with respect to such additional matters relating to
MML Trust as may be required by MML Trust's Declaration of Trust and the 1940
Act. Shareholders holding 10% of the shares of MML Trust may call a meeting to
be held to consider removal of MML Trustees. On any matter submitted to
shareholders, shares of each Fund entitle their holder to one vote per share
(with proportionate voting for fractional shares), irrespective of the relative
net asset values of the Funds' shares. On any matters submitted to a vote of
shareholders, all shares of MML Trust then entitled to vote shall be voted by
individual Fund, except that (i) when required by the 1940 Act, shares shall be
voted in the aggregate and not by individual Fund, and (ii) when MML Trustees
have determined that any matter affects only the interests of one or more Funds,
then only shareholders of such Fund or Funds shall be entitled to vote thereon.
Shareholder inquiries should be made by contacting the Secretary, MML Series
Investment Fund, 1295 State Street, Springfield, Massachusetts 01111.

The assets of certain variable annuity and variable life insurance separate
accounts for which MassMutual or an affiliate is the depositor are invested in
shares of the Funds. Because these separate accounts are invested in the same
underlying Funds it is possible that material conflicts could arise between
owners of the variable life insurance contracts and owners

14
<PAGE>

of the variable annuity contracts. Possible conflicts could arise if (i) state
insurance regulators should disapprove or require changes in investment
policies, investment advisers or principal underwriters or if the depositor
should be permitted to act contrary to actions approved by holders of the
variable life or variable annuity contracts under rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, (ii) adverse tax treatment of the variable life or variable
annuity contracts would result from utilizing the same underlying Funds, (iii)
different investment strategies would be more suitable for the variable annuity
contracts than the variable life contracts, or (iv) state insurance laws or
regulations or other applicable laws would prohibit the funding of both variable
life and variable annuity separate accounts by the same Funds.

The Board of Trustees will follow monitoring procedures which have been
developed to determine whether material conflicts have arisen and what action,
if any, should be taken in the event of such conflicts. If a material
irreconcilable conflict should arise between owners of the variable life
insurance contracts and owners of the variable annuity contracts, one or the
other group of owners may have to terminate its participation in the Funds. More
information regarding possible conflicts between variable annuity and variable
life insurance contracts is contained in the prospectuses for those contracts.

Under Massachusetts law, shareholders could, under certain circumstances, be
held personally liable for the obligations of MML Trust. However, MML Trust's
Declaration of Trust disclaims liability of the shareholders, MML Trustees, or
officers of MML Trust for acts or obligations of MML Trust, which are binding
only on the assets and property of MML Trust, and requires that notice of such
disclaimer be given in each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or
executed by MML Trust or MML Trustees. MML Trust's Declaration of Trust provides
for indemnification out of MML Trust property for all loss and expense of any
shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of MML Trust. Thus, the
risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder
liability is considered remote since it is limited to circumstances in which the
disclaimer is inoperative and MML Trust itself would be unable to meet its
obligations.

IX. NET ASSET VALUE

The net asset value of each Fund's shares is determined once daily as of the
normal close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (presently 4:00 p.m.) on
each day on which the Exchange is open for trading.

A. MML MONEY MARKET FUND

It is the intention of MML Money Market to maintain a per share net asset value
of $1.00, although this cannot be assured. Since the net income of MML Money
Market is declared as a dividend each time it is determined, the net asset value
per share of MML Money Market remains at $1.00 per share immediately after each
determination and dividend declaration. Any increase in the value of a
shareholder's investment in MML Money Market representing the reinvestment of
dividend income is reflected by an increase in the number of shares of MML Money
Market in the shareholder's account, which increase is recorded promptly after
the end of each calendar month. MML Money Market's portfolio instruments are
valued on the basis of amortized cost.

B. OTHER FUNDS

Generally, the other Funds value portfolio securities on the basis of market
value. For example, equity securities, including those traded on national
securities exchanges, the NASDAQ national market system, or over-the-counter
securities not so listed, are valued by one or more pricing services, as
authorized by the Board of Trustees. Normally, the values are based upon the
last reported sale price of the security. Long-term bonds are valued on the
basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, authorized by the Board of
Trustees, which determines valuations taking into account appropriate factors
such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield,
quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other
market data. Debt obligations with less than one year but more than sixty days
to maturity are valued on the basis of their market value, and debt obligations
having a maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost
when the Board of Trustees believes that amortized cost approximates market
value. If acquired, preferred stocks will be valued on the basis of their market
value if market quotations are readily available. Futures contracts are valued
based on market prices unless such prices do not reflect the fair value of the
contract, in which case they will be valued by or under the direction of the
Board of Trustees. In all other cases, assets (including restricted securities)
will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of
Trustees, although the actual calculations may be made by persons acting
pursuant to the direction of the Board of Trustees.

X. SALE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES

The shares of each Fund are sold at their net asset value (which in the case of
MML Money Market is expected to remain at $1.00) as next computed after receipt
of the purchase order, without the deduction of any selling commission or "sales
load."

Each Fund redeems its shares at their net asset value (which in the case of MML
Money Market is expected to remain at $1.00) as next computed after receipt of
the request for redemption. The redemption price for shares of MML Equity, MML
Managed Bond and MML Blend may be more or less than the shareholder's cost. No
fee is charged on redemption.

Redemption payments will be made within seven days after receipt of the written
request therefore by MML Trust, except that the right of redemption may be
suspended or payments postponed when permitted by applicable law and
regulations.

XI. TAX STATUS

It is the policy of each Fund to comply, and in 1994 each Fund did comply, with
the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. As a result, none of the Funds will be subject to federal income tax
on

15
<PAGE>

any net income or any capital gains to the extent they are distributed or are
deemed to have been distributed to shareholders.

Regulations issued under Internal Revenue Code Section 817(h) require each of
the Funds to be adequately diversified in order for a variable annuity and
variable life contract funded by MML Trust to receive favorable tax treatment as
an annuity or life insurance contract. Among other requirements, the regulations
limit each Fund's investment in a single issuer to 55% of its assets; while this
requirement applies to U.S. Government securities, each government agency or
instrumentality is treated for this purpose as a separate issuer. The Funds
intend to comply with these diversification requirements. For further
information, see the Statement of Additional Information.

Tax consequences to investors in the separate investment accounts which are
invested in the Funds are described in the prospectuses for such accounts.

XII. DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS

The Funds intend to declare capital gain and ordinary income dividends and to
distribute such dividends in a manner designed to avoid a 4% excise tax on
undistributed regulated investment company income, imposed by the Tax Reform Act
of 1986. The declaration and distribution policies specific to each Fund are
outlined below.

A. MML EQUITY FUND

Distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. Distributions may be
taken either in cash or in additional shares of MML Equity at net asset value on
the day after the record date for the distribution, at the option of the
shareholder.

B. MML MONEY MARKET FUND

The net income of MML Money Market, as defined below, is determined as of the
normal close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day on which the
Exchange is open, and all the net income so determined is declared as a dividend
to shareholders of record as of that time. Dividends are distributed promptly
after the end of each calendar month in additional shares of MML Money Market at
the then current net asset value, or in cash, at the option of the shareholder.

For this purpose the net income of MML Money Market (from the time of the
immediately preceding determination thereof) consists of all interest income
accrued on its portfolio, plus realized gains or minus realized losses, and less
all expenses and liabilities chargeable against income. Interest income includes
discount earned (including both original issue and market discount) on paper
purchased at a discount, less amortization of premium, accrued ratably to the
date of maturity. Expenses, including the compensation payable to MassMutual,
are accrued each day.

Should MML Money Market incur or anticipate any unusual expense, or loss or
depreciation which would adversely affect its net asset value per share or
income for a particular period, the Board of Trustees would at that time
consider whether to adhere to the present dividend policy described above or to
revise it in the light of the then prevailing circumstances. For example, if MML
Money Market's net asset value per share were reduced, or were anticipated to be
reduced, below $1.00, the Board of Trustees might suspend further dividend
payments until the net asset value returned to $1.00. Thus, such expenses or
losses or depreciation might result in an investor receiving no dividends for
the period during which he held his shares and in his receiving upon redemption
a price per share lower than that which he paid.

C. MML MANAGED BOND AND MML BLEND FUNDS

Dividends out of net investment income are declared and paid quarterly. Capital
gains declarations and distributions of net capital gains, if any, for the year
are made annually. Distributions may be taken either in cash or in additional
shares of the applicable Fund at net asset value on the day after the record
date for the distribution, at the option of the shareholder.

XIII. INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

Each of the Funds may from time to time advertise certain investment performance
figures. These figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to
indicate future performance.

MML Money Market may quote its yield and its effective yield. The yield of MML
Money Market refers to the income generated by the Fund over a seven-day period
(which period will be stated in the advertisement). This income is then assumed
to be earned each week over a 52-week period. The effective yield is calculated
similarly, but the income earned by an investment in the Fund is assumed to be
reinvested.

MML Managed Bond, MML Blend and MML Equity may also quote yield. The yield for
each of these Funds refers to the net investment income earned by the Fund over
a 30-day period (which period will be stated in the advertisement). This income
is then assumed to be earned for a full year and to be reinvested each month for
six months. The resulting semi-annual yield is doubled.

Each of the Funds may advertise its total return and its holding period return
for various periods of time. Total return is calculated by determining, over a
period of time, which will be stated in the advertisement, the average annual
compounded rate of return that an investment in the Fund earned over that
period, assuming reinvestment of all distributions. Holding period return refers
to the percentage change in the value of an investment in a Fund over a period
of time (which period will be stated in the advertisement), assuming
reinvestment of all distributions. Total return and holding period return differ
from yield in that the return figures include capital changes in an investment
while yield measures the rate of net income generated by a Fund. Total return
differs from holding period return principally in that total return is an
average annual figure while holding period return is an aggregate figure for the
entire period.

These investment performance figures may be of limited use for comparative
purposes because they do not reflect charges imposed by the separate investment
accounts invested in the Funds which, if included, would decrease the
performance fig-

16
<PAGE>

ures. For more information about the investment performance of the Funds, see
the Statement of Additional Information.

XIV. MANAGEMENT OF MML TRUST

The affairs of MML Trust are generally supervised by its Board of Trustees and
officers. As stated previously, MassMutual acts as investment manager of each of
the Funds and Concert is the sub-adviser to MML Equity and the Equity Sector of
MML Blend. In those capacities, MassMutual and Concert are part of the
management of MML Trust. For more information concerning the management of MML
Trust, reference should be made to the Statement of Additional Information.

The name MML Series Investment Fund is the designation of Trustees under a
Declaration of Trust dated December 19, 1984, as amended from time to time. The
obligations of MML Trust are not personally binding upon, nor shall resort be
had to the property of, any of the Trustees, shareholders, officers, employees
or agents of MML Trust, but MML Trust's property only shall be bound.

OPPENHEIMER VARIABLE ACCOUNT FUNDS
Prospectus dated May 1, 1995

OPPENHEIMER VARIABLE ACCOUNT FUNDS (the "Trust") is a diversified open-end
investment company consisting of nine separate funds, four of which
(collectively, the "Funds"), are as follows:

OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND ("Capital Appreciation Fund") seeks to
achieve capital appreciation by investing in "growth-type" companies.

OPPENHEIMER GROWTH FUND ("Growth Fund") seeks to achieve capital appreciation by
investing in securities of well-known established companies.

OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL SECURITIES FUND ("Global Securities Fund") seeks long-term
capital appreciation by investing a substantial portion of assets in securities
of foreign issuers, "growth-type" companies, cyclical industries and special
situations which are considered to have appreciation possibilities. Current
income is not an objective. These securities may be considered to be
speculative.

OPPENHEIMER STRATEGIC BOND FUND ("Strategic Bond Fund") seeks a high level of
current income principally derived from interest on debt securities and seeks to
enhance such income by writing covered call options on debt securities. The
Fund intends to invest principally in: (i) foreign government and corporate debt
securities, (ii) U.S. Government securities, and (iii) lower-rated high yield
domestic debt securities, commonly known as "junk bonds", which are subject to a
greater risk of loss of principal and nonpayment of interest than higher-rated
securities. These securities may be considered to be speculative.

THIS PROSPECTUS MAY BE USED TO OFFER OR SELL SHARES OF ONLY THOSE FUNDS LISTED
ABOVE.

Shares of the Funds are sold only to provide benefits under variable life
insurance policies and variable annuity contracts (collectively, the
"Accounts"). The Accounts invest in shares of one or more of the Funds in
accordance with allocation instructions received from Account owners. Such
allocation rights are further described in the accompanying Account Prospectus.
Shares are redeemed to the extent necessary to provide benefits under an
Account.

This Prospectus explains concisely what you should know before investing in the
Trust and the Funds. Please read this Prospectus carefully and keep it for
future reference. You can find more detailed information about the Funds in the
May 1, 1995 Statement of Additional Information. For a free copy, call
Oppenheimer Shareholder Services, the Funds' Transfer Agent, at 1-800-525-7048,
or write to the Transfer Agent at the address on the back cover. The Statement
of Additional Information has been filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and is incorporated into this Prospectus by reference (which means
that it is legally part of this Prospectus).

ABOUT THE FUNDS

OVERVIEW OF THE FUNDS

Some of the important facts about the Funds are summarized below, with
references to the section of this Prospectus where more complete information can
be found. You should carefully read the entire Prospectus before making a
decision about investing. Keep the Prospectus for reference after you invest.

WHAT ARE THE FUNDS' INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES? The CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND'S
investment objective is to achieve capital appreciation by investing in "growth-
type" companies. The GROWTH FUND'S investment objective is to seek to achieve
capital appreciation by investing in securities of well-known established
companies. The GLOBAL SECURITIES FUND'S investment objective is to seek long-
term capital appreciation by investing a substantial portion of assets in
securities of foreign issuers, "growth-type" companies, cyclical industries and
special situations which are considered to have appreciation possibilities. The
STRATEGIC BOND FUND'S investment objective is to seek a high level of current
income principally derived from interest on debt securities and seeks to enhance
such income by writing covered call options on debt securities.

WHAT DO THE FUNDS INVEST IN? To seek their respective investment objectives, the
Funds invest as follows. CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND primarily invests in "growth-
type" companies. GROWTH FUND primarily invests in securities of well-known
established companies. GLOBAL SECURITIES FUND primarily invests in securities of
foreign issuers, "growth-type" companies, cyclical industries and special
situations. STRATEGIC BOND FUND primarily invests in foreign government and
corporate debt securities, U.S. Government securities, and lower-rated high
yield domestic and foreign debt securities, commonly known as "junk bonds."
These investments are more fully explained for each Fund in "Investment
Objectives and Policies," starting on page 8.

WHO MANAGES THE FUNDS? The Funds' investment adviser is Oppenheimer Management
Corporation, which (including a subsidiary) advises investment company
portfolios having over $29 billion in assets. Each Fund's portfolio manager is
primarily responsible for the selection of securities of that Fund. The
portfolio managers are as follows: for STRATEGIC BOND FUND, David Negri and
Arthur Steinmetz; for CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND, Paul LaRocco; for GROWTH FUND,
Jane Putnam; and for GLOBAL SECURITIES FUND, George Evans. The Manager is paid
an advisory fee by each Fund, based on its assets. The Trust's Board of
Trustees, elected by shareholders, oversees the investment adviser and the
portfolio manager. Please refer to "How The Funds Are Managed," starting on page
14 for more information about the Manager and its fees.

HOW RISKY ARE THE FUNDS? While different types of investments have risks that
differ in type and magnitude, all investments carry risk to some degree. Changes
in overall market movements or interest rates, or factors affecting a particular
industry or issuer, can affect the value of the Funds' investments and their
price per share. Equity investments are generally subject to a number of risks
including the risk that values will fluctuate as a result of changing
expectations for the economy and individual issuers. For both equity and income
investments, foreign investments are subject to the risk of adverse currency
fluctuation and additional risks and expenses in comparison to domestic
investments. In comparing levels of risk among the equity funds, Growth Fund is
most conservative, followed by Capital Appreciation Fund and Global Securities
Fund. Fixed-income investments are generally subject to the risk that values
will fluctuate with inflation, with lower-rated fixed-income investments being
subject to a greater risk that the issuer will default in its interest or
principal payment obligations. Fixed income funds such as Strategic Bond Fund
are less conservative than money market funds.

HOW CAN I BUY OR SELL SHARES? Shares of each Fund are offered only for purchase
by Accounts as an investment medium for variable life insurance policies and
variable annuity contracts. Account owners should refer to the accompanying
Account Prospectus on how to buy or sell shares of the Funds.

HOW HAVE THE FUNDS PERFORMED? Strategic Bond Fund measures its performance by
quoting its yield. All of the Funds may measure their performance by quoting
average annual total return and cumulative total return, which measure
historical performance. Those returns can be compared to the returns (over
similar periods) of other funds. Of course, other funds may have different
objectives, investments, and levels of risk. The performance of all but one of
the Funds can also be compared to broad market indices, which we have done
starting on page 16. Please remember that past performance does not guarantee
future results.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES - STRATEGIC BOND FUND.

The investment objective of Strategic Bond Fund is to seek a high level of
current income principally derived from interest on debt securities and to
enhance such income by writing covered call options on debt securities. Although
the premiums received by Strategic Bond Fund from writing covered calls are a
form of capital gain, the Fund generally will not make investments in securities
with the objective of seeking capital appreciation.

The Fund intends to invest principally in: (i) lower-rated high yield domestic
debt securities; (ii) U.S. Government securities, and (iii) foreign government
and corporate debt securities. Under normal circumstances, the Fund's assets
will be invested in each of these three sectors. However, Strategic Bond Fund
may from time to time invest up to 100% of its total assets in any one sector
if, in the judgment of the Manager, the Fund has the opportunity of seeking a
high level of current income without undue risk to principal. Accordingly, the
Fund's investments should be considered speculative. Distributable income will
fluctuate as the Fund assets are shifted among the three sectors.

. High Yield Securities. The higher yields and high income sought by Strategic
Bond Fund are generally obtainable from securities in the lower rating
categories of the established rating services, commonly known as "junk bonds."
Such securities are rated "Baa" or lower by Moody's or "BBB" or lower by
Standard & Poor's. Strategic Bond Fund may invest in securities rated as low
as "C" by Moody's or "D" by Standard & Poor's. Such ratings indicate that the
obligations are speculative in a high degree and may be in default. Risks of
high yield, high risk securities are discussed under "Risk Factors" below.
Strategic Bond Fund's portfolio at December 31, 1994, contained securities in
the following rating categories as rated by Standard & Poor's (the percentages
relate to the weighted average of the bonds in each rating category as a
percentage of that Fund's total assets): AAA, 22.53%; AA, 2.41%; BBB, .41%;
BB, 5.32%; B, 20.57%; CCC, 3.17%; D, .62%; unrated, 17.76%. If a bond was not
rated by Standard & Poor's but was rated by Moody's, it is included in the
comparable category. The Manager will not rely principally on the ratings
assigned by rating services. Strategic Bond Fund is not obligated to dispose
of securities whose issuers subsequently are in default or if the rating of
such securities is reduced. Appendix B of this Prospectus describes these
rating categories. Strategic Bond Fund may also invest in unrated securities
which, in the opinion of the Manager, offer yields and risks comparable to
those of securities which are rated.

. International Securities. The Fund may invest in foreign government and
foreign corporate debt securities (which may be denominated in U.S. dollars or
in non-U.S. currencies) issued or guaranteed by foreign corporations, certain
supranational entities (such as the World Bank) and foreign governments
(including political subdivisions having taxing authority) or their agencies
or instrumentalities. These investments may include (i) U.S. dollar-
denominated debt obligations known as "Brady Bonds," which are issued for the
exchange of existing commercial bank loans to foreign entities for new
obligations that are generally collateralized by zero coupon Treasury
securities having the same maturity, (ii) debt obligations such as bonds
(including sinking fund and callable bonds), (iii) debentures and notes
(including variable rate and floating rate instruments), and (iv) preferred
stocks and zero coupon securities. Further information about investments in
foreign securities is set forth below under "Other Investment Techniques and
Strategies - Foreign Securities."

. U.S. Government Securities. U.S. Government Securities are debt obligations
issued by or guaranteed by the United States Government or one of its agencies
or instrumentalities. Although U.S. Government Securities are considered
among the most creditworthy of fixed-income investments and their yields are
generally lower than the yields available from corporate debt securities, the
values of U.S. Government Securities (and of fixed-income securities
generally) will vary inversely to changes in prevailing interest rates. To
compensate for the lower yields available on U.S. Government securities,
Strategic Bond Fund will attempt to augment these yields by writing covered
call options against them. See "Hedging," below. Certain of these obligations,
including U.S. Treasury notes and bonds, and mortgage-backed securities
guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Maes"),
are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. Certain other
U.S. Government Securities, issued or guaranteed by Federal agencies or
government-sponsored enterprises, are not supported by the full faith and
credit of the United States. These latter securities may include obligations
supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, such as
obligations of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Macs"), and
obligations supported by the credit of the instrumentality, such as Federal
National Mortgage Association bonds ("Fannie Maes"). U.S. Government
Securities in which the Fund may invest include zero coupon U.S. Treasury
securities, mortgage-backed securities and money market instruments.

Zero coupon Treasury securities are: (i) U.S. Treasury notes and bonds which
have been stripped of their unmatured interest coupons and receipts; or (ii)
certificates representing interests in such stripped debt obligations or
coupons. Because a zero coupon security pays no interest to its holder during
its life or for a substantial period of time, it usually trades at a deep
discount from its face or par value and will be subject to greater
fluctuations of market value in response to changing interest rates than debt
obligations of comparable maturities which make current distributions of
interest. Because the Fund accrues taxable income from these securities
without receiving cash, the Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities
in order to pay cash dividends or to meet redemptions. The Fund may invest up
to 50% of its total assets at the time of purchase in zero coupon securities
issued by either corporations or the U.S. Treasury.

. Domestic Securities. The Fund's investments in domestic securities may include
preferred stocks, participation interests and zero coupon securities. Domestic
investments include fixed-income securities and dividend-paying common stocks
issued by domestic corporations in any industry which may be denominated in
U.S. dollars or non-U.S. currencies.

The Fund's investments may include securities which represent participation
interests in loans made to

8
<PAGE>

corporations (see "Participation Interests," below) and in pools of
residential mortgage loans which may be guaranteed by agencies or
instrumentalities of the U.S. Government (e.g. Ginnie Maes, Freddie Macs and
Fannie Maes), including collateralized mortgage-backed obligations ("CMOs"),
or which may not be guaranteed. Such securities differ from conventional debt
securities which provide for periodic payment of interest in fixed amounts
(usually semi-annually) with principal payments at maturity or specified call
dates. Mortgage-backed securities provide monthly payments which are, in
effect, a "pass-through" of the monthly interest and principal payments
(including any prepayments) made by the individual borrowers on the pooled
mortgage loans. The Fund's reinvestment of scheduled principal payments and
unscheduled prepayments it receives may occur at lower rates than the original
investment, thus reducing the yield of the Fund. CMOs in which the Fund may
invest are securities issued by a U.S. Government instrumentality or private
corporation that are collateralized by a portfolio of mortgages or mortgage-
backed securities which may or may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
The issuer's obligation to make interest and principal payments is secured by
the underlying portfolio of mortgages or mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage-
backed securities may be less effective than debt obligations of similar
maturity at maintaining yields during periods of declining interest rates.

The Fund may also invest in CMOs that are "stripped." That means that the
security is divided into two parts, one of which receives some or all of the
principal payments (and is known as a "P/O") and the other which receives some
or all of the interest (and is known as an "I/O"). P/Os and I/Os are generally
referred to as "derivative investments," discussed further below.

The yield to maturity on the class that receives only interest is extremely
sensitive to the rate of payment of the principal on the underlying mortgages.
Principal prepayments increase that sensitivity. Stripped securities that pay
"interest only" are therefore subject to greater price volatility when
interest rates change, and they have the additional risk that if the
underlying mortgages are prepaid, the Fund will lose the anticipated cash flow
from the interest on the prepaid mortgages. That risk is increased when
general interest rates fall, and in times of rapidly falling interest rates,
the Fund might receive back less than its investment.

The value of "principal only" securities generally increases as interest rates
decline and prepayment rates rise. The price of these securities is typically
more volatile than that of coupon-bearing bonds of the same maturity.

Stripped securities are generally purchased and sold by institutional
investors through investment banking firms. At present, established trading
markets have not yet developed for these securities. Therefore, some stripped
securities may be deemed "illiquid." If the Fund holds illiquid stripped
securities, the amount it can hold will be subject to the Fund's investment
policy limiting investments in illiquid securities to 15% of the Fund's
assets.

The Fund may also enter into "forward roll" transactions with mortgage-backed
securities. The Fund sells mortgage-backed securities it holds to banks or
other buyers and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a similar security from
that party at a later date at an agreed-upon price. Forward rolls are
considered to be a borrowing. The Fund is required to place liquid assets in a
segregated account with its custodian bank in an amount equal to its
obligation under the forward roll. The main risk of this investment strategy
is risk of default by the counterparty.

The Fund may also invest in asset-backed securities, which are securities that
represent fractional undivided interests in pools of consumer loans and trade
receivables, similar in structure to the mortgage-backed securities in which
the Fund may invest, described above. Payments of principal and interest are
passed through to holders of asset-backed securities and are typically
supported by some form of credit enhancement, such as a letter of credit,
surety bond, limited guarantee by another entity or having a priority to
certain of the borrower's other securities. The degree of credit enhancement
varies, and generally applies to only a fraction of the asset-backed
security's par value until exhausted.

RISK FACTORS. The securities in which Strategic Bond Fund principally invest
are considered speculative and involve greater risk than lower yielding, higher
rated fixed-income securities, while providing higher yields than such
securities. Lower rated securities may be less liquid, and significant losses
could be experienced if a substantial number of other holders of such securities
decide to sell at the same time. Other risks may involve the default of the
issuer or price changes in the issuer's securities due to changes in the
issuer's financial strength or economic conditions. Issuers of lower rated or
unrated securities are generally not as financially secure or creditworthy as
issuers of higher-rated securities. These Funds are not obligated to dispose of
securities when issuers are in default or if the rating of the security is
reduced. These risks are discussed in more detail in the Statement of
Additional Information.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES - CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND, GROWTH FUND AND
GLOBAL SECURITIES FUND.

CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND. In seeking its objective of capital appreciation,
Capital Appreciation Fund will emphasize investments in securities of "growth-
type" companies. Such companies are believed to have relatively favorable long-
term prospects for increasing demand for their goods or services, or to be
developing new products, services or markets, and normally retain a relatively
larger portion of their earnings for research, development and investment in
capital assets. "Growth-type" companies may also include companies developing
applications for recent scientific advances. Capital Appreciation Fund may also
invest in cyclical industries and in "special situations" that the Manager
believes present opportunities for capital growth. "Special situations" are
anticipated acquisitions, mergers or other unusual developments which, in the
opinion of the Manager, will increase the value of an issuer's securities,
regardless of general business conditions or market movements. An additional
risk is present in this type of investment since the price of the security may
be expected to decline if the anticipated development fails to occur.

9
<PAGE>

GROWTH FUND. In seeking its objective of capital appreciation, Growth Fund will
emphasize investments in securities of well-known and established companies.
Such securities generally have a history of earnings and dividends and are
issued by seasoned companies (having an operating history of at least five
years, including predecessors). Current income is a secondary consideration in
the selection of Growth Fund's portfolio securities.

GLOBAL SECURITIES FUND. The objective of Global Securities Fund is to seek
long-term capital appreciation. Current income is not an objective. In seeking
its objective, the Fund will invest a substantial portion of its invested assets
in securities of foreign issuers, "growth-type" companies (those which, in the
opinion of the Manager, have relatively favorable long-term prospects for
increasing demand or which develop new products and retain a significant part of
earnings for research and development), cyclical industries (e.g. base metals,
paper and chemicals) and special investment situations which are considered to
have appreciation possibilities (e.g., private placements of start-up
companies). The Fund may invest without limit in "foreign securities" (as
defined below in "Other Investment Techniques and Strategies - Foreign
Securities") and thus the relative amount of such investments will change from
time to time. It is currently anticipated that Global Securities Fund may
invest as much as 80% or more of its total assets in foreign securities. Under
normal market conditions, the Fund will invest its total assets in securities of
issuers traded in markets of at least three countries (which may include the
United States). See "Other Investment Techniques and Strategies - Foreign
Securities," below, for further discussion as to the possible rewards and risks
of investing in foreign securities and as to additional diversification
requirements for the Fund's foreign investments.

CAN THE FUNDS' INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES CHANGE? The Funds have
investment objectives, described above, as well as investment policies each
follows to try to achieve its objectives. Additionally, the Funds use certain
investment techniques and strategies in carrying out those investment policies.
The Funds' investment policies and techniques are not "fundamental" unless this
Prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information says that a particular
policy is "fundamental." Each Fund's investment objectives are fundamental
policies.

The Trust's Board of Trustees may change non-fundamental policies without
shareholder approval, although significant changes will be described in
amendments to this Prospectus. Fundamental policies are those that cannot be
changed without the approval of a "majority" of the Fund's outstanding voting
shares. The term "majority" is defined in the Investment Company Act to be a
particular percentage of outstanding voting shares (and this term is explained
in the Statement of Additional Information).

OTHER INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES AND STRATEGIES. Some of the Funds can also use the
investment techniques and strategies described below. These techniques involve
certain risks. The Statement of Additional Information contains more information
about these practices, including limitations on their use that are designed to
reduce some of the risks.

SPECIAL RISKS - BORROWING FOR LEVERAGE. From time to time, Capital Appreciation
Fund, Strategic Bond Fund, Growth Fund and Global Securities Fund may borrow
money from banks to buy securities. These Funds will borrow only if they can do
so without putting up assets as security for a loan. This is a speculative
investment method known as "leverage." This investing technique may subject the
Fund to greater risks and costs than funds that do not borrow. These risks may
include the possibility that a Fund's net asset value per share will fluctuate
more than funds that don't borrow, since a Fund pays interest on borrowings and
interest expense affects a Fund's share price and yield. Growth Fund may borrow
only up to 5% of the value of its total assets and Global Securities Fund may
borrow up to 10% of the value of its total assets. Global Securities Fund will
not borrow, if as a result of such borrowing more than 25% of its total assets
would consist of investments in when-issued or delayed delivery securities or
borrowed funds. Borrowing for Leverage is subject to regulatory limits
described in more detail in "Borrowing" in the Statement of Additional
Information.

Pursuant to an undertaking by Capital Appreciation Fund, Strategic Bond Fund and
Global Securities Fund, borrowing by each such Fund is limited to 25% of the
value of its net assets, which is further limited to 10% if the borrowing is for
a purpose other than to facilitate redemptions. Neither percentage limitation
is a fundamental policy.

INVESTMENTS IN SMALL, UNSEASONED COMPANIES. Capital Appreciation Fund, Growth
Fund, Global Securities Fund and Strategic Bond Fund may each invest in
securities of small, unseasoned companies. These are companies that have been
in operation for less than three years, counting the operations of any
predecessors. Securities of these companies may have limited liquidity (which
means that the Fund may have difficulty selling them at an acceptable price when
it wants to) and the prices of these securities may be volatile. It is not
currently intended that investments in securities of companies (including
predecessors) that have operated less than three years will exceed 5% of the net
assets of Growth Fund. Capital Appreciation Fund, Global Securities Fund and
Strategic Bond Fund are not subject to this restriction.

PARTICIPATION INTERESTS. Strategic Bond Fund and Global Securities Fund may
acquire participation interests in U.S. dollar-denominated loans that are made
to U.S. or foreign companies (the "borrower"). They may be interests in, or
assignments of, the loan, and are acquired from the banks or brokers that have
made the loan or are members of the lending syndicate. No more than 5% of a
Fund's net assets can be invested in participation interests of the same
borrower. The Manager has set certain creditworthiness standards for issuers of
loan participations, and monitors their creditworthiness. The value of loan
participation interests primarily depends upon the creditworthiness of the
borrower, and its ability to pay interest and principal. Borrowers may have
difficulty making payments. If a borrower fails to make scheduled interest or
principal payments, the Fund could experience a decline in the net asset value
of its shares. Some borrowers may have senior securities rated as low as "C" by
Moody's or "D" by Standard & Poor's, but may be deemed acceptable credit risks.
Participation interests are subject to each Fund's limitations on investments in
illiquid securities. See "Illiquid and Restricted Securities" below.

FOREIGN SECURITIES. Each Fund may purchase "foreign securities" that is,
securities of companies organized under the laws of countries other than the
United States that are traded

10
<PAGE>

on foreign securities exchanges or in the foreign over-the-counter markets.
Securities of foreign issuers that are represented by American Depository
Receipts ("ADRs"), or that are listed on a U.S. securities exchange or are
traded in the United States over-the-counter markets are not considered "foreign
securities" for this purpose because they are not subject to many of the special
considerations and risks (discussed below and in the Statement of Additional
Information) that apply to foreign securities traded and held abroad. If a
Fund's securities are held abroad, the countries in which such securities may be
held and the sub-custodians holding them must be approved by the Fund's Board of
Trustees under applicable SEC rules. Each Fund may also invest in debt
obligations issued or guaranteed by foreign corporations, certain supranational
entities (such as the World Bank) and foreign governments (including political
subdivisions having taxing authority) or their agencies or instrumentalities,
subject to the investment policies described above. Foreign securities which the
Funds may purchase may be denominated in U.S. dollars or in non-U.S. currencies.
The Funds may convert U.S. dollars into foreign currency, but only to effect
securities transactions and not to hold such currency as an investment, other
than in hedging transactions (see "Hedging" below).

It is currently intended that each Fund (other than Global Securities Fund or
Strategic Bond Fund) will invest no more than 25% of its total assets in foreign
securities or in government securities of any foreign country or in obligations
of foreign banks. Global Securities Fund and Strategic Bond Fund have no
restrictions on the amount of their assets that may be invested in foreign
securities. Investments in securities of issuers in non-industrialized
countries generally involve more risk and may be considered highly speculative.

The Funds have undertaken to comply with the foreign country diversification
guidelines of Section 10506 of the California Insurance Code, as follows:
Whenever a Fund's investment in foreign securities exceeds 25% of its net
assets, it will invest its assets in securities of issuers located in a minimum
of two different foreign countries; this minimum is increased to three foreign
countries if foreign investments comprise 40% or more of a Fund's net assets, to
four if 60% or more and to five if 80% or more. In addition, no such Fund will
have more than 20% of its net assets invested in securities of issuers located
in any one foreign country; that limit is increased to 35% for Australia,
Canada, France, Japan, the United Kingdom or Germany.

The percentage of each Fund's assets that will be allocated to foreign
securities will vary depending on the relative yields of foreign and U.S.
securities, the economies of foreign countries, the condition of their financial
markets, the interest rate climate of such countries, and the relationship of
such countries' currencies to the U.S. dollar. These factors are judged on the
basis of fundamental economic criteria (e.g., relative inflation levels and
trends, growth rate forecasts, balance of payments status, and economic
policies) as well as technical and political data. Subsequent foreign currency
losses may result in a Fund having previously distributed more income in a
particular period than was available from investment income, which could result
in a return of capital to shareholders. Each such Fund's portfolio of foreign
securities may include those of a number of foreign countries or, depending upon
market conditions and subject to the above diversification requirements those of
a single country. In summary, foreign securities markets may be less liquid and
more volatile than the markets in the U.S. Risks of foreign securities
investing may include foreign withholding taxation, changes in currency rates or
currency blockage, currency exchange costs, difficulty in obtaining and
enforcing judgments against foreign issuers, relatively greater brokerage and
custodial costs, risk of expropriation or nationalization of assets, less
publicly available information, and differences between domestic and foreign
legal, auditing, brokerage and economic standards. See "Investment Objectives
and Policies - Foreign Securities" in the Statement of Additional Information
for further details.

WARRANTS AND RIGHTS. Warrants basically are options to purchase stock at set
prices that are valid for a limited period of time. Rights are options to
purchase securities, normally granted to current holders by the issuer. Each of
the Funds may invest up to 5% of its total assets in warrants and rights. That
5% does not apply to warrants and rights that have been acquired as part of
units with other securities or that were attached to other securities. No more
than 2% of each such Fund's total assets may be invested in warrants that are
not listed on either the New York or American Stock Exchanges. For further
details about these investments, see "Warrants and Rights" in the Statement of
Additional Information.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Each Fund may acquire securities that are subject to
repurchase agreements to generate income while providing liquidity. In a
repurchase transaction, the Fund buys a security and simultaneously sells it to
the vendor for delivery at a future date. Repurchase agreements must be fully
collateralized. However, if the vendor fails to pay the resale price on the
delivery date, the Fund may incur costs in disposing of the collateral and may
experience losses if there is any delay in its ability to do so. No Fund will
enter into a repurchase agreement that causes more than 15% of its net assets to
be subject to repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days. There
is no limit on the amount of a Fund's net assets that may be subject to
repurchase agreements of seven days or less.

ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Under the policies and procedures
established by the Board of Trustees, the Manager determines the liquidity of a
Fund's investments. Investments may be illiquid because of the absence of a
trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at
an acceptable price. A restricted security is one that has a contractual
restriction on resale or cannot be sold publicly until it is registered under
the Securities Act of 1933. No Fund will invest more than 15% of its net assets
in illiquid or restricted securities; no Fund presently intends to invest more
than 10% of its net assets in illiquid or restricted securities. This policy
applies to participation interests, bank time deposits, master demand notes and
repurchase transactions maturing in more than seven days, over-the-counter
("OTC") options held by any Fund and that portion of assets used to cover such
OTC options [Global Securities and Strategic Bond Funds]; it does not apply to
certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified
institutional purchasers.

LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. To attempt to increase its income, each Fund may
lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial
institutions. These loans

11
<PAGE>

are limited to 25% of the Fund's net assets and are subject to other conditions
described in the Statement of Additional Information. The Funds presently do not
intend to lend portfolio securities, but if any Fund does, the value of
securities loaned is not expected to exceed 5% of the value of that Fund's total
assets.

"WHEN-ISSUED" OR DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. Each Fund may purchase
securities on a "when-issued" basis and may purchase or sell securities on a
"delayed delivery" basis. These terms refer to securities that have been created
and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate
delivery. There may be a risk of loss to a Fund if the value of the security
changes prior to the settlement date.

HEDGING. As described below, the Funds may purchase and sell certain kinds of
futures contracts, put and call options, forward contracts, and options on
futures and broadly-based stock or bond indices, or enter into interest rate
swap agreements. These are all referred to as "hedging instruments." The Funds
do not use hedging instruments for speculative purposes, and have limits on the
use of them, described below. The hedging instruments the Funds may use are
described below and in greater detail in "Other Investment Techniques and
Strategies" in the Statement of Additional Information.

The Funds may buy and sell options, futures and forward contracts for a number
of purposes. They may do so to try to manage their exposure to the possibility
that the prices of their portfolio securities may decline, or to establish a
position in the securities market as a temporary substitute for purchasing
individual securities. Strategic Bond Fund may do so to try to manage its
exposure to changing interest rates. Some of these strategies, such as selling
futures, buying puts and writing covered calls, hedge the Funds' portfolio
against price fluctuations.

Other hedging strategies, such as buying futures and call options, tend to
increase the Funds' exposure to the securities market. Forward contracts are
used to try to manage foreign currency risks on Funds' foreign investments.
Foreign currency options are used to try to protect against declines in the
dollar value of foreign securities the Funds own, or to protect against an
increase in the dollar cost of buying foreign securities. Writing covered call
options may also provide income to the Funds for liquidity purposes or to raise
cash to distribute to shareholders.

FUTURES. Global Securities Fund, Capital Appreciation Fund, Growth Fund and
Strategic Bond Fund may buy and sell futures contracts that relate to broadly-
based stock indices (these are referred to as Stock Index Futures). Strategic
Bond Fund and Global Securities Fund may buy and sell futures contracts that
relate to interest rates (these are referred to as Interest Rate Futures).
These types of Futures are described in "Hedging" in the Statement of Additional
Information.

PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. The Funds may buy and sell certain kinds of put options
(puts) and call options (calls).

The Funds may buy calls only on securities, broadly-based stock and bond
indices, foreign currencies and Futures that the Fund is permitted to buy and
sell (as explained above) or to terminate their obligation on a call that the
Fund previously wrote. The Funds may write (that is, sell) covered call options
on up to 100% of each Fund's assets. When a Fund writes a call, it receives
cash (called a premium). The call gives the buyer the ability to buy the
investment on which the call was written from that Fund at the call price during
the period in which the call may be exercised. If the value of the investment
does not rise above the call price, it is likely that the call will lapse
without being exercised, while the Fund keeps the cash premium (and the
investment).

The Funds may purchase put options. Buying a put on an investment gives that
Fund the right to sell the investment at a set price to a seller of a put on
that investment. The Funds can buy only those puts that relate to (1)
securities (whether or not that Fund owns such securities), (2) Futures that the
Fund is permitted to buy and sell (as explained above), (3) broadly-based stock
or bond indices or (4) foreign currencies. A Fund can buy a put on a Future
whether or not that Fund owns the particular Future in its portfolio. A Fund
may not sell a put other than a put that it previously purchased.

The Funds may buy and sell puts and calls only if certain conditions are met:
(1) calls the Funds buy or sell must be listed on a securities or commodities
exchange, or quoted on the Automated Quotation System of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASDAQ"); (2) in the case of puts and
calls on foreign currency, they must be traded on a securities or commodities
exchange, or in the over-the-counter market, or quoted by recognized dealers in
those options; (3) none of the Funds will write puts if, as a result, more than
50% of its net assets would be required to be segregated liquid assets; (4) each
call the Funds write must be "covered" while it is outstanding: that means a
Fund must own the investment on which the call was written or it must own other
securities that are acceptable for the escrow arrangements required for calls;
(5) a Fund may write calls on Futures contracts it owns, but these calls must be
covered by securities or other liquid assets the Fund owns and segregates to
enable it to satisfy its obligations if the call is exercised; (6) a call or put
option may not be purchased if the value of all of a Fund's put and call options
would exceed 5% of that Fund's total assets.

If a call written by a Fund is exercised, the Fund forgoes any possible profit
from an increase in the market price of the underlying security over the
exercise price less the commissions paid on the sale. In addition, the Fund
could experience capital losses which might cause previously distributed short-
term capital gains to be recharacterized as non-taxable return of capital to
shareholders.

FORWARD CONTRACTS. Forward contracts are foreign currency exchange contracts.
They are used to buy or sell foreign currency for future delivery at a fixed
price. The Funds use them to "lock-in" the U.S. dollar price of a security
denominated in a foreign currency that a Fund has bought or sold, or to protect
against losses from changes in the relative values of the U.S. dollar and a
foreign currency. Such Funds may also use "cross hedging," where a Fund hedges
against changes in currencies other than the currency in which a security it
holds is denominated.

INTEREST RATE SWAPS. Strategic Bond Fund can also enter into interest rate swap
transactions. In an interest rate swap, a Fund and another party exchange their
right to receive or their obligation to pay interest on a security. For
example, they may swap a right to receive floating rate payments for fixed rate
payments. A Fund enters into swaps only on securities it owns. Each of these
Funds may not enter into

12
<PAGE>

swaps with respect to more than 50% of its total assets. Also, each Fund will
segregate liquid assets (such as cash or U.S. Government securities) to cover
any amounts it could owe under swaps that exceed the amounts it is entitled to
receive, and it will adjust that amount daily, as needed.

Hedging instruments can be volatile investments and may involve special risks.
The use of hedging instruments requires special skills and knowledge of
investment techniques that are different than what is required for normal
portfolio management. If the Manager uses a hedging instrument at the wrong time
or judges market conditions incorrectly, hedging strategies may reduce that
Fund's return. A Fund could also experience losses if the prices of its futures
and options positions were not correlated with its other investments or if it
could not close out a position because of an illiquid market for the future or
option.

Options trading involves the payment of premiums and has special tax effects on
the Funds. There are also special risks in particular hedging strategies. If a
covered call written by a Fund is exercised on a security that has increased in
value, that Fund will be required to sell the security at the call price and
will not be able to realize any profit if the security has increased in value
above the call price. The use of forward contracts may reduce the gain that
would otherwise result from a change in the relationship between the U.S. dollar
and a foreign currency. To limit its exposure in foreign currency exchange
contracts, each Fund limits its exposure to the amount of its assets denominated
in the foreign currency. Interest rate swaps are subject to credit risks (if the
other party fails to meet its obligations) and also to interest rate risks. The
Funds could be obligated to pay more under their swap agreements they receive
under them, as a result of interest rate changes. These risks are described in
greater detail in the Statement of Additional Information.

DERIVATIVE INVESTMENTS. Each Fund can invest in a number of different kinds of
"derivative investments." Such Funds may use some types of derivatives for
hedging purposes, and may invest in others because they offer the potential for
increased income and principal value. In general, a "derivative investment" is a
specially-designed investment whose performance is linked to the performance of
another investment or security, such as an option, future, index or currency. In
the broadest sense, derivative investments include exchange-traded options and
futures contracts (please refer to "Hedging").

One risk of investing in derivative investments is that the company issuing the
instrument might not pay the amount due on the maturity of the instrument. There
is also the risk that the underlying investment or security might not perform
the way the Manager expected it to perform. The performance of derivative
investments may also be influenced by interest rate changes in the U.S. and
abroad. All of these risks can mean that a Fund will realize less income than
expected from its investments, or that it can lose part of the value of its
investments, which will affect that Fund's share price. Certain derivative
investments held by the Funds may trade in the over-the-counter markets and may
be illiquid. If that is the case, the Funds' investment in them will be limited,
as discussed in "Illiquid and Restricted Securities."

Another type of derivative the Funds may invest in is an "index-linked" note. On
the maturity of this type of debt security, payment is made based on the
performance of an underlying index, rather than based on a set principal amount
for a typical note. Another derivative investment such Funds may invest in are
currency-indexed securities. These are typically short-term or intermediate-term
debt securities. Their value at maturity or the interest rates at which they pay
income are determined by the change in value of the U.S. dollar against one or
more foreign currencies or an index. In some cases, these securities may pay an
amount at maturity based on a multiple of the amount of the relative currency
movements. This variety of index security offers the potential for greater
income but at a greater risk of loss.

Other derivative investments the Funds may invest in include "debt exchangeable
for common stock" of an issuer or "equity-linked debt securities" of an issuer.
At maturity, the debt security is exchanged for common stock of the issuer or is
payable in an amount based on the price of the issuer's common stock at the time
of maturity. In either case there is a risk that the amount payable at maturity
will be less than the principal amount of the debt (because the price of the
issuer's common stock is not as high as was expected).

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER. A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as
"portfolio turnover." The Funds may engage frequently in short-term trading to
try to achieve their objectives. High turnover and short-term trading involve
correspondingly greater commission expenses and transaction costs for Capital
Appreciation Fund, Growth Fund and Global Securities Fund and to a lesser
extent, higher transaction costs for Strategic Bond Fund. The "Financial
Highlights," above show the portfolio turnover for the past fiscal years for
each Fund which is not expected to exceed a portfolio turnover rate of 200% in
the current fiscal year. If any Fund derives 30% or more of its gross income
from the sale of securities held less than three months, it may fail to qualify
under the tax laws as a regulated investment company (see "Dividends, Capital
Gains and Taxes," below).

SHORT SALES AGAINST-THE-BOX. In a short sale, the seller does not own the
security that is sold, but normally borrows the security to fulfill its delivery
obligation. The seller later buys the security to repay the loan, in the
expectation that the price of the security will be lower when the purchase is
made, resulting in a gain. The Funds may not sell securities short except that
each Fund may sell securities short in collateralized transactions referred to
as "short sales against-the-box." No more than 15% of any Fund's net assets will
be held as collateral for such short sales at any one time.

OTHER INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

Each of the Funds has certain investment restrictions which, together with its
investment objective, are fundamental policies. Under some of those
restrictions, each Fund cannot: (1) with respect to 75% of its total assets,
invest in securities (except those of the U.S. Government or its agencies or
instrumentalities) of any issuer if immediately thereafter, either (a) more than
5% of that Fund's total assets would be invested in securities of that issuer,
or (b) that Fund would then own more than 10% of that issuer's voting securities
or 10% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that issuer
(the latter limitation on debt securities does not apply to Strategic Bond
Fund); (2) lend money except in connection with the acquisition of debt
securities which a Fund's

13
<PAGE>

investment policies and restrictions permit it to purchase; the Funds may also
make loans of portfolio securities (see "Loans of Portfolio Securities"); (3)
pledge, mortgage or hypothecate any assets to secure a debt; the escrow
arrangements which are involved in options trading are not considered to involve
such a mortgage, hypothecation or pledge; (4) concentrate investments in any
particular industry; therefore these Funds will not purchase the securities of
issuers primarily engaged in the same industry if more than 25% of the total
value of that Fund's assets would (in the absence of special circumstances)
consist of securities of companies in a single industry; and (5) deviate from
the percentage requirements and other restrictions listed under "Warrants and
Rights," and the first paragraph under "Special Risks-Borrowing for Leverage."
None of the percentage limitations and restrictions described above and in the
Statement of Additional Information for the Funds with respect to writing
covered calls, hedging, short sales and derivatives is a fundamental policy.

All of the percentage restrictions described above and elsewhere in this
Prospectus, other than those described under "Other Investment Techniques and
Strategies--Special Risks-Borrowing for Leverage," apply only at the time a Fund
purchases a security. A Fund need not dispose of a security merely because the
size of the Fund's assets has changed or the security has increased in value
relative to the size of the Fund. There are other fundamental policies
discussed in the Statement of Additional Information. The Trustees of the Trust
are required to monitor events to identify any irreconcilable conflicts which
may arise between the variable life insurance policies and variable annuity
contracts that invest in the Funds. Should any conflict arise which ultimately
requires that any substantial amount of assets be withdrawn from any Fund, its
operating expenses could increase.

HOW THE FUNDS ARE MANAGED

ORGANIZATION AND HISTORY. The Trust was organized in 1984 as a Massachusetts
business trust. The Trust is an open-end, diversified management investment
company, with an unlimited number of authorized shares of beneficial interest.
It consists of nine separate Funds. As noted above, this Prospectus describes
four of those Funds: Growth Fund, organized in 1984, Capital Appreciation Fund,
organized in 1986, Global Securities Fund, organized in 1990 and Strategic Bond
Fund, organized in 1993.

The Trust is governed by a Board of Trustees, which is responsible for
protecting the interests of shareholders under Massachusetts law. The Trustees
meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the Funds' activities, review
performance, and review the actions of the Manager. "Trustees and Officers of
the Trust" in the Statement of Additional Information names the Trustees and
provides more information about them and the officers of the Trust. Although
the Trust is not required by law to hold annual meetings, it may hold
shareholder meetings from time to time on important matters, and shareholders
have the right to call a meeting to remove a Trustee or to take other action
described in the Trust's Declaration of Trust.

THE MANAGER AND ITS AFFILIATES. The Funds are managed by the Manager,
Oppenheimer Management Corporation, which is responsible for selecting the
Funds' investments and handles its day-to-day business. The Manager carries out
its duties, subject to the policies established by the Board of Trustees, under
Investment Advisory Agreements for each Fund which state the Manager's
responsibilities. The Agreements set forth the fees paid by each Fund to the
Manager and describe the expenses that each Fund is responsible to pay to
conduct its business.

The Manager has operated as an investment adviser since 1959. The Manager
(including a subsidiary) currently manages investment companies, including other
OppenheimerFunds, with assets of more than $29 billion as of December 31, 1994,
and with more than 2.4 million shareholder accounts. The Manager is owned by
Oppenheimer Acquisition Corp., a holding company that is owned in part by senior
officers of the Manager and controlled by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance
Company, a mutual life insurance company.

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS. The Portfolio Managers of Strategic Bond Fund are David P.
Negri and Arthur P. Steinmetz. They are the persons principally responsible for
the day-to-day management of those Funds since May 1993. During the past five
years, Messrs. Steinmetz and Negri have also served as officers of other
OppenheimerFunds. The Portfolio Manager of Global Securities Fund is George
Evans. He has been the person principally responsible for the day-to-day
management of that Fund since February, 1991. During the past five years, he
has also served as an Associate Portfolio Manager for other OppenheimerFunds and
formerly served as an international equities portfolio manager/analyst with
Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. The Portfolio Manager of Growth Fund is Jane
Putnam. She has been the person principally responsible for the day-to-day
management of that Fund's portfolio since May 1994. During the past five years,
Ms. Putnam has also served as an Associate Portfolio Manager for other
OppenheimerFunds and formerly served as a portfolio manager and equity research
analyst for Chemical Bank. The Portfolio Manager of Capital Appreciation Fund
is Paul LaRocco. He has been the person principally responsible for the day-to-
day management of that Fund's portfolio since January 1994. During the past
five years, he has also served as an Associate Portfolio Manager for other
OppenheimerFunds and formerly served as a securities analyst with Columbus
Circle Investors, prior to which he was an investment analyst for Chicago Title
& Trust Co. Messrs. Negri and Evans are Vice Presidents of the Manager, Mr.
Steinmetz is a Senior Vice President of the Manager, and Ms. Putnam and Mr.
LaRocco are Assistant Vice Presidents of the Manager. Each of the Portfolio
Managers named above are also Vice Presidents of the Trust.

FEES AND EXPENSES. The monthly management fee payable to the Manager is computed
separately on the net assets of each Fund as of the close of business each day.
The management fee rates that became effective September 1, 1994 are as follows:
(i) for Capital Appreciation Fund, Growth Fund and Global Securities Fund: 0.75%
of the first $200 million of net assets, 0.72% of the next $200 million, 0.69%
of the next $200 million, 0.66% of the next $200 million, and 0.60% of net
assets over $800 million; and (ii) for Strategic Bond Fund: 0.75% of the first
$200 million of net assets, 0.72% of the next $200 million, 0.69% of the next
$200 million, 0.66% of the next $200 million, 0.60% of the next $200 million,
and 0.50% of net assets over $1 billion. The management fee rates in effect
prior to September 1, 1994 are contained in note 8 to the Funds' financial
statements included in the Statement of Additional Information.

<PAGE>

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, the management fee (computed on
an annualized basis as a percentage of the net assets of all the Funds as of the
close of business each day) and the total operating expenses as a percentage of
average net assets of each Fund, when restated to reflect the current management
fee rates described above and the current limitation on expenses described in
the Statement of Additional Information, were as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
TOTAL

FEES EXPENSES(1)
<S> <C> <C>
Capital Appreciation Fund .75% .80%
Growth Fund .75% .81%
Global Securities Fund .75% .95%
Strategic Bond Fund .75% .93%
</TABLE>

--------------------
(1) This table does not reflect expenses that apply at the separate account
level or to related insurance products.

The Funds pay expenses related to their daily operations, such as custodian
fees, Trustees' fees, transfer agency fees, legal and auditing costs. Those
expenses are paid out of the Funds' assets and are not paid directly by
shareholders. However, those expenses reduce the net asset value of shares, and
therefore are indirectly borne by shareholders through their investment. More
information about the investment advisory agreement is contained in the
Statement of Additional Information.

There is also information about the Funds' brokerage policies and practices in
"Brokerage Policies of the Funds" in the Statement of Additional Information.
That section discusses how brokers and dealers are selected for the Funds'
portfolio transactions. When deciding which brokers to use, the Manager is
permitted by the investment advisory agreements to consider whether brokers have
sold shares of the Funds or any other funds for which the Manager serves as
investment adviser.

SHAREHOLDER INQUIRIES. Inquiries by policyowners for Account information are to
be directed to the insurance company issuing the Account at the address or
telephone number shown in the accompanying Account Prospectus.

PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS

EXPLANATION OF PERFORMANCE TERMINOLOGY. Strategic Bond Fund uses the terms
"yield," "total return," and "average annual total return" to illustrate
performance. All the Funds use the terms "average annual total return" and
"total return" to illustrate their performance. This performance information
may be useful to help you see how well your investment has done and to compare
it to other funds or market indices, as we have done below.

It is important to understand that the Funds' total returns and yields represent
past performance and should not be considered to be predictions of future
returns or performance. This performance data is described below, but more
detailed information about how total returns and yields are calculated is
contained in the Statement of Additional Information, which also contains
information about other ways to measure and compare the Funds' performance.
Each Fund's investment performance will vary over time, depending on market
conditions, the composition of the portfolio and expenses.

YIELDS. Yield for Strategic Bond Fund will be computed in a standardized manner
for mutual funds, by dividing that Fund's net investment income per share earned
during a 30-day base period by the maximum offering price (equal to the net
asset value) per share on the last day of the period. This yield calculation is
compounded on a semi-annual basis, and multiplied by 2 to provide an annualized
yield. The Statement of Additional Information describes a dividend yield and a
distribution return that may also be quoted for these Funds.

TOTAL RETURNS. There are different types of total returns used to measure each
Fund's performance. Total return is the change in value of a hypothetical
investment in the Fund over a given period, assuming that all dividends and
capital gains distributions are reinvested in additional shares. The cumulative
total return measures the change in value over the entire period (for example,
ten years). An average annual total return shows the average rate of return for
each year in a period that would produce the cumulative total return over the
entire period. However, average annual total returns do not show the Funds'
actual year-by-year performance.

HOW HAVE THE FUNDS PERFORMED? Below is a discussion by the Manager of the Funds'
performance during their last fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, followed by a
graphical comparison of each Fund's performance to an appropriate broad-based
market index.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF PERFORMANCE. During the Funds' fiscal year ended
December 31, 1994, the Manager emphasized the following investment strategies
and techniques. For CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND, stocks of well-managed,
innovative companies in sectors with high potential were emphasized, including
technology, health care and consumer cyclicals, such as specialty retailing.
For GROWTH FUND, consumer and industrial company stocks were emphasized,
including financial, technology and health care issues. For GLOBAL SECURITIES
FUND, emerging markets such as Latin America were emphasized, including stocks
with strong earnings potential driven by corporate restructurings and the
privatization of state-owned industries. For STRATEGIC BOND FUND, corporate
bonds in U.S. companies that derive a large percentage of their earnings from
Europe were emphasized, foreign fixed-income securities were emphasized in Latin
American, Asian and Eastern European countries, and U.S. government securities
of a longer term were emphasized.

COMPARING EACH FUND'S PERFORMANCE TO THE MARKET. The charts below show the
performance of hypothetical $10,000 investments in each Fund held until December
31, 1994. Performance information does not reflect charges that apply to
separate accounts investing in the Funds and is not restated to reflect the
increased management fee rates that took effect September 1, 1994. If these
charges and expenses were taken into account, performance would be lower.

The performance of Capital Appreciation Fund and Growth Fund is compared to the
performance of the S&P 500 Index, a broad-based index of equity securities
widely regarded as a general measurement of the performance of the U.S. equity
securities market. Global Securities Fund's performance is compared to the
Morgan Stanley World Index, an unmanaged index of issuers listed on the stock
exchanges of 20 foreign countries and the U.S., and is widely recognized as a
measure of global stock market performance. Strategic Bond Fund's

15
<PAGE>

performance is compared to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index and the
Salomon Brothers World Government Bond Index. The Salomon Brothers World
Government Bond Index is an unmanaged index of fixed-rate bonds having a
maturity of one year or more, and is widely recognized as a benchmark of fixed
income performance on a world-wide basis. Index performance reflects the
reinvestment of dividends but does not consider the effect of capital gains or
transaction costs, and none of the data below shows the effect of taxes. Also,
a Fund's performance reflects the effect of that Fund's business and operating
expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for a
Fund's performance, it must be noted that the Fund's investments are not limited
to the securities in the one index. Moreover, the index performance data does
not reflect any assessment of the risk of the investments included in the index.

ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT

HOW TO BUY SHARES

Shares of each Fund are offered only for purchase by Accounts as an investment
medium for variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts, as
described in the accompanying Account Prospectus. The sale of shares will be
suspended during any period when the determination of net asset value is
suspended and may be suspended by the Board of Trustees whenever the Board
judges it in that Fund's best interest to do so. Shares of each Fund are
offered at their respective offering price, which (as used in this Prospectus
and the Statement of Additional Information) is net asset value (without sales
charge).

All purchase orders are processed at the offering price next determined after
receipt by the Trust of a purchase order in proper form. The offering price
(and net asset value) is determined as of the close of The New York Stock
Exchange, which is normally 4:00 P.M., New York time, but may be earlier on some
days. Net asset value per share of each Fund is determined by dividing the
value of that Fund's net assets by the number of its shares outstanding. The
Board of Trustees has established procedures for valuing each Fund's securities.
In general, those valuations are based on market value.

HOW TO SELL SHARES

Payment for shares tendered by an Account for redemption is made ordinarily in
cash and forwarded within seven days after receipt by the Trust's transfer
agent, Oppenheimer Shareholder Services (the "Transfer Agent"), of redemption
instructions in proper form, except under unusual circumstances as determined by
the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Trust understands that payment to
the Account owner will be made in accordance with the terms of the accompanying
Account Prospectus. The redemption price will be the net asset value next
determined after the receipt by the Transfer Agent of a request in proper form.
The market value of the securities in the portfolio of the Funds is subject to
daily fluctuations and the net asset value of the Funds' shares will fluctuate
accordingly. Therefore, the redemption value may be more or less than the
investor's cost.

DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS AND TAXES

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS OF STRATEGIC BOND FUND. The Trust intends to
declare Strategic Bond Fund dividends quarterly, payable in March, June,
September and December.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS OF CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND, GROWTH FUND AND GLOBAL
SECURITIES FUND. The Trust intends to declare Capital Appreciation Fund, Growth
Fund and Global Securities Fund dividends on an annual basis.

CAPITAL GAINS. Any Fund may make a supplemental distribution annually in
December out of any net short-term or long-term capital gains derived from the
sale of securities, premiums from expired calls written by the Fund, and net
profits from hedging transactions. Each such Fund may also make a supplemental
distribution of capital gains and ordinary income following the end of its
fiscal year. All dividends and capital gains distributions paid on shares of
any of the Funds are automatically reinvested in additional shares of that Fund
at net asset value determined on the distribution date. There are no fixed
dividend rates and there can be no assurance as to payment of any dividends or
the realization of any capital gains.

TAX TREATMENT TO THE ACCOUNT AS SHAREHOLDER. Dividends paid by each Fund from
its ordinary income and distributions of each Fund's net realized short-term or
long-term capital gains are includable in gross income of the Accounts holding
such shares. The tax treatment of such dividends and distributions depends on
the tax status of that Account.

TAX STATUS OF THE FUNDS. If the Funds qualify as "regulated investment
companies" under the Internal Revenue Code, the Trust will not be liable for
Federal income taxes on amounts paid as dividends and distributions from any of
the Funds. The Funds did qualify during their last fiscal year and the Trust
intends that they will qualify in current and future years. However, the Code
contains a number of complex tests relating to qualification which any Fund
might not meet in any particular year (see, e.g., "Other Investment Techniques
and Strategies - Portfolio Turnover"). If any Fund does not so qualify, it
would be treated for tax purposes as an ordinary corporation and would receive
no tax deduction for payments made to shareholders of that Fund. The above
discussion relates solely to Federal tax laws. This discussion is not
exhaustive and a qualified tax adviser should be consulted.

APPENDIX A - DESCRIPTION OF TERMS

Some of the terms used in the Prospectus and the Statement of Additional
Information are described below:

BANK OBLIGATIONS include CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT which are negotiable
certificates evidencing the indebtedness of a commercial bank to repay funds
deposited with it for a definite period of time (usually 14 days to one year) at
a stated interest rate. BANKERS' ACCEPTANCES are credit instruments evidencing
the obligation of a bank to pay a draft which has been 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. TIME DEPOSITS are
non-negotiable deposits maintained in a banking institution for a specified
period of time at a stated interest rate. BANK NOTES are short-term direct
credit obligations of the issuing bank or bank holding company.

COMMERCIAL PAPER consists of short-term (usually 1 to 270 days) unsecured
promissory notes issued by corporations in order to finance their current
operations. VARIABLE RATE MASTER DEMAND NOTES are obligations that permit the
investment of fluctuating amounts at varying rates of interest pursuant to
direct arrangement between the holder and the borrower. The holder has the
right to increase the amount under the note at any time up to the face amount,
or to decrease the amount borrowed, and the borrower may repay up to the face
amount of the note without penalty.

CORPORATE OBLIGATIONS are bonds and notes issued by corporations and other
business organizations, including business trusts, in order to finance their
long-term credit needs.

LETTERS OF CREDIT are obligations by the issuer (a bank or other person) to
honor drafts or other demands for payment upon compliance with specified
conditions.

SECURITIES ISSUED OR GUARANTEED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT OR ITS AGENCIES
OR INSTRUMENTALITIES include issues of the United States Treasury, such as
bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes and bonds, and issues of agencies and
instrumentalities established under the authority of an act of Congress. Such
agencies and instrumentalities include, but are not limited to, Bank for
Cooperatives, Federal Financing Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal
Intermediate Credit Banks, Federal Land Banks, Federal National Mortgage
Association and Tennessee Valley Authority. Issues of the United States Treasury
are direct obligations of the United States Government. Issues of agencies or
instrumentalities are (i) guaranteed by the United States Treasury, or (ii)
supported by the issuing agency's or instrumentality's right to borrow from the
United States Treasury, or (iii) supported by the issuing agency's or
instrumentality's own credit.

APPENDIX B - DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES RATINGS

This is a description of (i) the two highest rating categories for Short Term
Debt and Long Term Debt and (ii) additional rating categories that apply
principally to investments by Strategic Bond Fund. The rating descriptions are
based on information supplied by the Rating Organizations to subscribers.

SHORT TERM DEBT RATINGS.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"): The following rating designations
for commercial paper (defined by Moody's as promissory obligations not having
original maturity in excess of nine months), are judged by Moody's to be
investment grade, and indicate the relative repayment capacity of rated issuers:

PRIME-1: Superior capacity for repayment. Capacity will normally be evidenced
by the following characteristics: (a) leveling market positions in
well-established industries; (b) high rates of return on funds employed; (c)
conservative capitalization structures with moderate reliance on debt and ample
asset protection; (d) broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial
charges and high internal cash generation; and (e) well established access to a
range of financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.

PRIME-2: Strong capacity for repayment. 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.

Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P"): The following ratings by S&P for
commercial paper (defined by S&P as debt having an original maturity of no more
than 365 days) assess the likelihood of payment:

A-1: Strong capacity for timely payment. Those issues determined to possess
extremely strong safety characteristics are denoted with a plus sign (+)
designation.

A-2: Satisfactory capacity for timely payment. However, the relative degree of
safety is not as high as for issues designated "A-1".

Fitch Investors Service, Inc. ("Fitch"): Fitch assigns the following short-term
ratings to debt obligations that are payable on demand or have original
maturities of generally up to three years, including commercial paper,
certificates of deposit, medium-term notes, and municipal and investment notes:

F-1+: Exceptionally strong credit quality; the strongest degree of assurance
for timely payment.

F-1: Very strong credit quality; assurance of timely payment is only slightly
less in degree than issues rated "F-1+".

F-2: Good credit quality; satisfactory degree of assurance for timely payment,
but the margin of safety is not as great as for issues assigned "F-1+" or "F-1"
ratings.

Duff & Phelps, Inc. ("Duff & Phelps"): The following ratings are for commercial
paper (defined by Duff & Phelps as obligations with maturities, when issued, of
under one year), asset-backed commercial paper, and certificates of deposit (the
ratings cover all obligations of the institution with maturities, when issued,
of under one year, including bankers' acceptance and letters of credit):

DUFF 1+: Highest certainty of timely payment. Short-term liquidity, including
internal operating factors and/or access to alternative sources of funds, is
outstanding, and safety is just below risk-free U.S. Treasury short-term
obligations.

DUFF 1: Very high certainty of timely payment. Liquidity factors are excellent
and supported by good fundamental protection factors. Risk factors are minor.

DUFF 1-: High certainty of timely payment. Liquidity factors are strong and
supported by good fundamental protection factors. Risk factors are very small.

DUFF 2: Good certainty of timely payment. Liquidity factors and company
fundamentals are sound. Although ongoing funding needs may enlarge total
financing requirements, access to capital markets is good. Risk factors are
small.

IBCA Limited or its affiliate IBCA Inc. ("IBCA"): Short-term ratings, including
commercial paper (with maturities up to 12 months), are as follows:

A1+: Obligations supported by the highest capacity for timely repayment.

A1: Obligations supported by a very strong capacity for timely repayment.

A2: Obligations supported by a strong capacity for timely repayment, although
such capacity may be susceptible to adverse changes in business, economic, or
financial conditions.

Thomson BankWatch, Inc. ("TBW"): The following short-term ratings apply to
commercial paper, certificates of deposit, unsecured notes, and other securities
having a maturity of one year or less.

TBW-1: The highest category; indicates the degree of safety regarding timely
repayment of principal and interest is very strong.

TBW-2: The second highest rating category; while the degree of safety regarding
timely repayment of principal and interest is strong, the relative degree of
safety is not as high as for issues rated "TBW-1".

LONG TERM DEBT RATINGS.

These rating categories apply principally to investments by Strategic Bond Fund.
Moody's: Bonds (including municipal bonds) are rated as follows:

Aaa: Judged to be the best quality. They carry the smallest degree of
investment risk and are generally referred to as "gilt edge." Interest payments
are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin, and principal is
secure. While the various protective elements are likely to change, such
changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally
strong positions of such issues.

Aa: Judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with the "Aaa"
group, they comprise what are generally known as high-grade bonds. They are
rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may not be as
large as in "Aaa" securities or fluctuations of protective elements

B-1
<PAGE>

may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make
the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in "Aaa" securities.

A: Possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered as
upper-medium grade obligations. Factors giving security to principal and
interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which suggest a
susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.

Baa: Considered medium grade obligations, i.e., they are neither highly
protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and principal security appear
adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may
be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack
outstanding investment characteristics and have speculative characteristics as
well.

Ba: Judged to have speculative elements; their future cannot be considered
well-assured. Often the protection of interest and principal payments may be
very moderate and not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the
future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class.

B: Bonds rated "B" generally lack characteristics of desirable investment.
Assurance of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of other terms of
the contract over any long period of time may be small.

Caa: Of poor standing and may be in default or there may be present elements of
danger with respect to principal or interest.

Ca: Represent obligations which are speculative in a high degree and are often
in default or have other marked shortcomings.

C: Bonds rated "C" can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever
attaining any real investment standing.

Moody's applies numerical modifiers "1", "2" and "3" in each generic rating
classification from "Aa" through "B" in its corporate bond rating system. The
modifier "1" indicates that the security ranks in the higher end of its generic
rating category; the modifier "2" indicates a mid-range ranking; and the
modifier "3" indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of its generic
rating category.

Standard & Poor's: Bonds are rated as follows:

AAA: The highest rating assigned by S&P. Capacity to pay interest and repay
principal is extremely strong.

AA: A strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal and differ from "AAA"
rated issues only in small degree.

A: Have a strong capacity to pay principal and interest, although they are
somewhat more susceptible to adverse effects of change in circumstances and
economic conditions.

BBB: Regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay principal and interest.
Whereas they normally exhibit protection parameters, adverse economic conditions
or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay
principal and interest for bonds in this capacity than for bonds in the "A"
category.

BB, B, CCC, CC: Regarded, on balance, as predominantly speculative with respect
to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with
the terms of the obligation. "BB" indicates the lowest degree of speculation
and "CC" the highest degree. While such bonds will likely have some equality and
protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties or major
risk exposures to adverse conditions.

C, D: Bonds on which no interest is being paid are rated "C." Bonds rated "D"
are in default and payment of interest and/or repayment of principal is in
arrears.

Fitch:

AAA: Considered to be investment grade and of the highest credit quality. The
obligor has an exceptionally strong ability to pay interest and repay principal,
which is unlikely to be affected by reasonably foreseeable events.

AA: Considered to be investment grade and of very high credit quality. The
obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is very strong, although
not quite as strong as bonds rated "AAA". Plus (+) and minus (-) signs are used
in the "AA" category to indicate the relative position of a credit within that
category.

Because bonds rated in the "AAA" and "AA" categories are not significantly
vulnerable to foreseeable future developments, short-term debt of these issuers
is generally rated "F-1+".

Duff & Phelps:

AAA: The highest credit quality. The risk factors are negligible, being only
slightly more than the risk-free U.S. Treasury debt.

AA: High credit quality. Protection factors are strong. Risk is modest but
may vary slightly from time to time because of economic conditions. Plus (+)
and minus (-) signs are used in the "AA" category to indicate the relative
position of a credit within that category.

IBCA: Long-term obligations (with maturities of more than 12 months) are rated
as follows:

AAA: The lowest expectation for investment risk. Capacity for timely repayment
of principal and interest is substantial such that adverse changes in business,
economic, or financial conditions are unlikely to increase investment risks
significantly.

AA: A very low expectation for investment risk. Capacity for timely repayment
of principal and interest is substantial. Adverse changes in business,
economic, or financial conditions may increase investment risk albeit not very
significantly.

A plus (+) or minus (-) sign may be appended to a long term rating to denote
relative status within a rating category.

TBW: TBW issues the following ratings for companies. These ratings assess the
likelihood of receiving payment of principal and interest on a timely basis and
incorporate TBW's opinion as to the vulnerability of the company to adverse
developments, which may impact the market's perception of the company, thereby
affecting the marketability of its securities.

A: Possesses an exceptionally strong balance sheet and earnings record,
translating into an excellent reputation and unquestioned access to its natural
money markets. If weakness or vulnerability exists in any aspect of the
company's business, it is entirely mitigated by the strengths of the
organization.

A/B: The company is financially very solid with a favorable track record and no
readily apparent weakness. Its overall risk profile, while low, is not quite as
favorable as for companies in the highest rating category.
