 PROSPECTUS SYNOPSIS

THE TRUST

   
The  GCG  Trust  (the "Trust")  is  an open-end  management  investment company,
organized as a Massachusetts business trust  on August 3, 1988. This  Prospectus
offers  shares of thirteen portfolios (the "Series") of the Trust, each with its
own investment objective or objectives and investment policies. There can be  no
assurance that any particular Series' investment objective or objectives will be
attained.  The Board of Trustees may establish additional Series at any time and
may discontinue offering a Series at any time.
    

The purpose of the Trust  is to serve as an  investment medium for (i)  variable
life  insurance policies  and variable annuity  contracts ("Variable Contracts")
offered  by  insurance  companies,  and  (ii)  certain  qualified  pension   and
retirement  plans,  as permitted  under the  federal tax  rules relating  to the
Series serving as investment  mediums for Variable  Contracts. See "Purchase  of
Shares."  In the  case of  Variable Contracts,  the various  Series may  be used
independently or  in  combination.  Within  the  limitations  described  in  the
Prospectus for the applicable Variable Contract, an owner of a Variable Contract
("Variable  Contract  Owner") may  allocate  premiums and  reallocate investment
value under  his  or  her  Variable Contract  among  various  divisions  of  the
applicable  separate account, which, in turn,  invest in the various Series. The
assets of each Series are segregated and a Variable Contract Owner's interest is
limited to the Series in which  the divisions selected by the Variable  Contract
Owner have invested.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

The investment objective or objectives of each of the Series are as follows:

The  MULTIPLE ALLOCATION  SERIES seeks the  highest total  return, consisting of
capital appreciation and  current income,  consistent with  the preservation  of
capital  and elimination of  unnecessary risk. The Series  seeks to achieve this
objective through  investment in  debt  and equity  securities  and the  use  of
certain sophisticated investment strategies and techniques.

The  FULLY MANAGED  SERIES seeks,  over the long  term, a  high total investment
return, consistent with the preservation of capital and prudent investment risk.
The Series seeks  to achieve  this objective  by investing  primarily in  common
stocks.  The Series may also invest in  fixed income securities and money market
instruments to preserve its principal value during uncertain or declining market
conditions. The Series'  strategy is  based on the  premise that,  from time  to
time,  certain  asset classes  are more  attractive  long term  investments than
others.

The LIMITED MATURITY  BOND SERIES  seeks the highest  current income  consistent
with  low risk  to principal  and liquidity.  The Series  seeks to  achieve this
objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of limited  maturity
debt  securities.  The Series  also seeks  to enhance  its total  return through
capital appreciation when market factors indicate that capital appreciation  may
be available without significant risk to principal.

The  NATURAL RESOURCES SERIES  seeks long-term capital  appreciation. The Series
seeks to achieve this  objective by investing in  equity and debt securities  of
companies  engaged in the exploration, development, production, and distribution
of natural resources.

The REAL ESTATE SERIES seeks capital  appreciation. The Series seeks to  achieve
this  objective  through  investment  in publicly  traded  equity  securities of
companies in the real estate industry. Current income is a secondary objective.

The ALL-GROWTH SERIES seeks  capital appreciation. The  Series seeks to  achieve
this  objective through  investment in  securities selected  for their long-term
growth prospects.

The CAPITAL APPRECIATION SERIES seeks to generate long-term capital growth.  The
Series  seeks  to  achieve  this  objective by  investing  in  common  stock and
preferred stock that  will be  allocated between categories  or "components"  of
stocks referred to as the growth component and the value component.

The  RISING DIVIDENDS  SERIES seeks  capital appreciation.  The Series  seeks to
achieve this  objective  by  investing  in equity  securities  of  high  quality
companies  that meet the following four criteria: consistent dividend increases;
substantial dividend  increases;  reinvested  profits;  and  an  under-leveraged
balance sheet.

The  EMERGING MARKETS SERIES seeks long-term growth of capital. The Series seeks
to achieve  this  objective  by  investing primarily  in  equity  securities  of
companies that are considered to be in emerging market countries.

The  VALUE EQUITY SERIES  seeks capital appreciation  and, secondarily, dividend
income by  investing  primarily in  equity  securities which  meet  quantitative
standards  believed by the Portfolio Manager to indicate above average financial
soundness and high intrinsic value relative to price.

 PROSPECTUS SYNOPSIS (CONTINUED)

The STRATEGIC  EQUITY SERIES  seeks to  achieve capital  appreciation  primarily
through  investment in equity  securities based on  various equity market timing
techniques. The amount of  the Series' assets allocated  to equities shall  vary
from  time to time to seek positive investment performance from advancing equity
markets and to reduce exposures to equities when the Portfolio Manager  believes
that their risk/reward characteristics are less attractive.

   
The  SMALL  CAP  SERIES  seeks  to  acheive  long-term  capital  appreciation by
investing in equity securities of companies that, at the time of purchase,  have
total  market capitalization of less than $1  billion. Many of the securities in
which the Series invests may be those of new companies in a developmental  stage
or  more seasoned companies believed  by the Portfolio Manager  to be entering a
new stage of growth.
    

The LIQUID ASSET SERIES seeks a high level of current income consistent with the
preservation of capital and liquidity.

THE MANAGER AND PORTFOLIO MANAGERS

   
The Manager of the Series is  Directed Services, Inc. (the "Manager"), which  is
an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bankers Trust Company. The Trust and the
Manager  have retained several investment  advisory firms ("Portfolio Managers")
to manage the  assets of  the Series. The  thirteen Series  and their  Portfolio
Managers are as follows:

As  Manager of the  Series, Directed Services,  Inc. has overall responsibility,
subject to the  supervision of  the Board  of Trustees,  for engaging  portfolio
managers  and for monitoring and evaluating the management of the assets of each
Series by  the  Portfolio Managers,  for  administering all  operations  of  the
Series,  and for providing or procuring  all services necessary for the ordinary
operation of the Series. Pursuant to a Management Agreement, the Trust currently
pays the Manager for its  services a monthly fee at  the annual rate of 1.0%  of
the  value of  the average  daily net assets  of the  Multiple Allocation, Fully
Managed, Natural  Resources,  Real  Estate,  All-Growth,  Capital  Appreciation,
Rising  Dividends, Value Equity, Strategic Equity,  and Small Cap Series, in the
aggregate; 0.60% of the  value of the  average daily net  assets of the  Limited
Maturity  Bond and Liquid Asset Series, in the aggregate; and 1.50% of the value
of the average daily net assets of the Emerging Markets Series.
    

Each Portfolio Manager of each Series  has full investment discretion and  makes
all  determinations with respect to the investment of the Series' assets and the
purchase and  sale  of  portfolio  securities  consistent  with  the  investment
objectives,  policies, and restrictions for  such Series. The Portfolio Managers
are compensated by the Manager (and not the Trust).

The Trust is distinct in that the expense structure of the Series is simpler and
more predictable than most mutual funds.  Many of the ordinary expenses for  the
Trust's  Series, including custodial, administrative, transfer agency, portfolio
accounting, auditing,  and ordinary  legal  expenses are  paid by  the  Manager;
whereas,  most  mutual funds  pay  for these  expenses  directly from  their own
assets.

PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES

Shares of each Series are offered at the net asset value of each Series.  Shares
of  each Series may be redeemed without cost at the net asset value per share of
the Series  next  determined  after  receipt  of  the  redemption  request.  The
redemption price may be more or less than the purchase price.

SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS AND
INVESTMENT RISKS

   
Certain  of the Series may engage  in investment techniques that involve certain
risks that are described  more fully in the  section "Description of  Securities
and  Investment  Techniques."  For  instance,  the  Multiple  Allocation,  Fully
Managed,  Limited  Maturity   Bond,  Natural   Resources,  All-Growth,   Capital
Appreciation,  Emerging Markets, Value  Equity, Strategic Equity,  and Small Cap
Series may engage in  various types of futures  transactions. All these  Series,
except  the All-Growth  Series, may  also lend  their portfolio  securities. The
Multiple  Allocation,  Fully  Managed,  All-Growth,  Natural  Resources,  Rising
Dividends,  Value Equity, Strategic  Equity, and Small Cap  Series may invest in
non-U.S. dollar-denominated  securities of  foreign  issuers, and  the  Emerging
Markets  Series will normally invest primarily  in such securities. The Multiple
Allocation,  Fully  Managed,  Natural  Resources,  Rising  Dividends,   Emerging
Markets, Value

Equity,  Strategic Equity, and  Small Cap Series may  engage in foreign currency
transactions and options on foreign  currencies. The Multiple Allocation,  Fully
Managed,  Limited  Maturity Bond,  Natural  Resources, Real  Estate, All-Growth,
Capital Appreciation,  Emerging Markets,  Value  Equity, Strategic  Equity,  and
Small  Cap Series may engage  in various put and  call options transactions. The
Fully Managed and Emerging Markets Series may invest in high yield bonds and the
Real Estate  Series may  invest in  high yield  convertible bonds.  The  Natural
Resources Series may invest in precious metals and futures contracts on precious
metals  and the  Multiple Allocation and  Strategic Equity Series  may invest in
gold futures contracts. In addition, the Multiple Allocation, Natural Resources,
All-Growth, Capital Appreciation,  Strategic Equity,  and Small  Cap Series  may
engage in short sales of securities.
    

 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

   
The  following tables  present condensed  financial information  with respect to
each of the Series. Information in the  tables for the years ended December  31,
1994  and 1993 is derived  from the Trust's financial  statements for the Series
that have been audited by Ernst &  Young LLP. Information in the tables for  the
years  ended December 31, 1992, 1991, 1990, and 1989 is derived from the Trust's
financial  statements  for  the  Series  that  have  been  audited  by   another
independent  auditor. Information for  the six-month period  ended June 30, 1995
has not been audited. The condensed financial information below does not include
deductions at the Separate  Account level or  contract specific deductions  that
may  be incurred  under a  Variable Contract  for which  the Trust  serves as an
underlying investment vehicle. These  charges would reduce  the total return  to
any  owner  of a  Variable  Contract. The  following  tables should  be  read in

 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

Each of the Series has a  different investment objective or objectives that  are
described below. Each Series' portfolio is managed by its own Portfolio Manager.
There  can be no  assurance that any  of the Series  will achieve its investment
objective or  objectives.  Because  each Series  seeks  a  different  investment
objective  or objectives and has different  policies, each is subject to varying
degrees of financial, market,  and credit risks. Each  Series is subject to  the
risk  of changing economic conditions.  As with any security,  a risk of loss is
inherent  in  investment  in  a  Series'  shares.  Therefore,  investors  should
carefully  consider the investment objective or objectives, investment policies,
and potential risks of any Series before investing.

The different  types  of  securities  and  investment  techniques  used  by  the
individual Series all have attendant risks of varying degrees. For example, with
respect  to equity securities, there can be no assurance of capital appreciation
and there is  a substantial risk  of decline. With  respect to debt  securities,
there  exists the risk that the issuer of a security may not be able to meet its
obligations on interest  or principal  payments at the  time called  for by  the
instrument. In addition, the value of debt instruments generally rises and falls
inversely with interest rates.

Certain  types of  investments and investment  techniques common to  one or more
Series are described  in greater detail,  including the risks  of each, in  this
Prospectus  under "Description of  Securities and Investment  Techniques" and in
the Statement of Additional Information.

Each Series is diversified, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.  A
diversified  Series may not invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets
in any one  issuer and  it may  not purchase more  than 10%  of the  outstanding
voting  securities of any  one issuer with  respect to 75%  of its total assets,
exclusive of amounts held in cash,  cash items, and U.S. Government  securities.
Each  Series' policy on diversification  is a fundamental policy  and may not be
changed without approval of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of  that
Series.

The  Series are  subject to  investment restrictions  that are  described in the
Statement of Additional Information.  The investment restrictions so  designated
and,  unless otherwise  noted, the  investment objective  or objectives  of each
Series, are "fundamental policies" of each Series, which means that they may not
be changed  without a  majority vote  of shareholders  of the  affected  Series.
Except  for these  fundamental policies,  all investment  policies and practices
described in this Prospectus and in the Statement of Additional Information  are
not  fundamental, meaning  that the  Board of  Trustees may  change them without
shareholder approval.

MULTIPLE ALLOCATION SERIES

The investment  objective of  the  Multiple Allocation  Series  is to  seek  the
highest  total return,  consisting of  capital appreciation  and current income,
consistent with the preservation of capital and elimination of unnecessary risk.
The Series seeks to achieve this objective through investment in debt and equity
securities and  the  use  of certain  sophisticated  investment  strategies  and
techniques. The Portfolio Manager for the Series is Zweig Advisors Inc.

In  seeking to maximize total return, the Series will follow an asset allocation
strategy contemplating shifts  (which may  be frequent)  among a  wide range  of
investments  and market  sectors. The  Series' investments  will be  designed to
maximize total return during all economic and financial environments, consistent
with the  preservation  of  capital  and elimination  of  unnecessary  risk,  as
determined by the Portfolio Manager.

The  Series  will  invest up  to  60% of  its  total assets  in  U.S. Government
securities and investment grade debt securities of domestic and foreign issuers,
and up to 50%  of its total  assets in equity  securities, including common  and
preferred  stocks, convertible debt  securities, and warrants.  If the Portfolio
Manager deems stock market conditions to be favorable or debt market  conditions
to be uncertain or unfavorable, a substantially higher percentage (but generally
not  more than 60%) of  the Series' total assets may  be invested in such equity
securities. If, however, the  Portfolio Manager believes  that the stock  market
investment  environment is  uncertain or  unfavorable and  justifies a defensive
position, then the Series may decrease its investments in equity securities  and
increase  its investments  in debt  securities and/or  money market instruments.
During periods when the Portfolio Manager believes an overall defensive position
is advisable, greater than 50% (and under certain circumstances perhaps all)  of
the Series' total assets may be invested in money market instruments and cash.

Furthermore,  if the  Portfolio Manager  believes that  inflationary or monetary
conditions warrant  a  significant  investment in  companies  involved  in  gold
operations,  the Series may invest  up to 10% of its  total assets in the equity
securities  of   companies   exploring,  mining,   developing,   producing,   or
distributing gold or other precious metals.

                                       13
<PAGE>
 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)

The  Portfolio Manager  will determine the  extent of the  Series' investment in
debt and equity securities,  primarily on the basis  of various debt and  equity
market  timing techniques developed  by Dr. Martin Zweig  (Ph.D. in Finance) and
his staff. The  debt market  timing techniques  incorporate various  indicators,
including  the  momentum  of  bond  prices,  short-term  interest  rate  trends,
inflation indicators and general economic  and liquidity indicators, as well  as
other market indicators and statistics which the Portfolio Manager believes tend
to  point to significant trends  in the overall performance  and the risk of the
debt markets. The  equity market  timing techniques  incorporate general  market
indicators,  including  interest rate  and  monetary analysis,  market sentiment
indicators, price and trading volume  statistics, and measures of valuation,  as
well  as  other market  indicators and  statistics  which the  Portfolio Manager
believes tend to point to significant trends in the overall performance and  the
risk of the stock market. There is no assurance that these debt or equity market
timing  techniques  will eliminate  the risks  of  debt and  equity investments,
correctly predict market trends, or enable the Series to achieve its  investment
objective.

The  Series  may  use  various investment  strategies  and  techniques  when the
Portfolio Manager determines that such use  is appropriate in an effort to  meet
the  Series' investment  objective including:  writing "covered"  listed put and
call equity options,  including options  on stock indexes,  and purchasing  such
options; short sales of securities; purchasing and selling stock index, interest
rate,  gold, and other futures contracts, and purchasing options on such futures
contracts; borrowing from banks to purchase securities; investing in  securities
of  "special  situation"  companies, "gold  operations"  companies,  and foreign
issuers; entering  into foreign  currency transactions  and options  on  foreign
currencies;   entering   into  repurchase   agreements  or   reverse  repurchase
agreements; and  lending portfolio  securities to  brokers, dealers,  banks,  or
other  recognized  institutional borrowers  of securities.  The debt  and equity
components of the Series' portfolio may include such investments.

The maturities of the debt securities in the Series'
portfolio will vary based in large part on the Portfolio Manager's  expectations
as  to future changes in interest  rates. However, the Portfolio Manager expects
that the  debt component  of the  Series' portfolio  will normally  be  invested
primarily in intermediate debt securities, I.E., those with remaining maturities
of  five  to  ten years,  and/or  long-term  debt securities,  I.E.,  those with
remaining maturities in excess of ten years. The Portfolio Manager expects  that
the  equity portion of the Series' portfolio  will be widely diversified by both
industry and  the number  of issuers.  The Portfolio  Manager expects  that  the
majority of the stocks in the Series' portfolio will be selected on the basis of
a  proprietary computer-driven  stock selection  model that  evaluates and ranks
higher dividend yield stocks. The Portfolio  Manager will consider, from a  list
of  approximately 1,500 of the most liquid stocks, approximately 750 stocks with
the highest  dividend yields.  The  Portfolio Manager  will  then use,  for  the
selection  of stocks, a  proprietary computer-driven stock  selection model that
evaluates and ranks such  higher dividend yield stocks  on the basis of  various
factors,  which may  include earnings  momentum, earnings  growth, price-to-book
value, price-to-earnings,  price-to-cash flow,  cash  flow trend,  payout  ratio
trend and other market measurements. Such stock selection model may evolve or be
replaced  by other  stock selection techniques  intended to  achieve the Series'
objective.

From time to time the Series may invest in companies that are determined by  the
Portfolio  Manager  to  represent  a "special  situation."  A  special situation
reflects securities which are expected  to be accorded favorable or  unfavorable
market  recognition  within  a  reasonably  estimable  period  of  time,  at  an
appreciated  or  depreciated  value,  respectively,   solely  by  reason  of   a
development   particularly  or  uniquely  applicable  to  the  issuing  company.
Developments that may  create special  situations include, among  others: a  buy
out;   expected  market  recognition  of   asset  value;  asset  reorganization;
recapitalization, tender  offer or  merger; material  litigation;  technological
breakthrough;  and  new management  or management  policies. However,  since the
situations may  not  develop  as  anticipated,  E.G.,  a  tender  offer  may  be
successfully  defended against  or a merger  may fall through,  the Series could
incur losses.

The Series may also invest in the equity securities (particularly common stocks)
of companies involved in the  exploration, mining, development, production,  and
distribution  of gold. The Series  may invest in issuers  located in any part of
the world.  The Portfolio  Manager  believes that  the securities  of  companies
involved  in gold operations may offer protection against inflation and monetary
instability and, thus,  when deemed  appropriate by the  Portfolio Manager,  the
Series  may invest up to 10% of its  total assets in such securities. The Series
may also invest in  the securities of other  companies primarily engaged in  the
exploration,  mining, processing, fabrication, or  distribution of other natural
resources, including  minerals and  metals such  as silver,  platinum,  uranium,
strategic  metals, diamonds, coal,  oil, and phosphates,  but the Series expects
that such investments would be secondary to investments in companies involved in
gold operations,

                                       14
<PAGE>
 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)
as protection against inflation and monetary instability. Investment in gold and
other natural resources presents risks because the prices of gold and such other
resources have fluctuated substantially over  short periods of time. Prices  may
be  affected by unpredictable monetary and  political policies, such as currency
devaluations  or  revaluations,  economic   and  social  conditions  within   an
individual  country, trade imbalances, or trade or currency restrictions between
countries. The  prices  of  gold  shares  and  other  mining  shares  frequently
fluctuate  even more dramatically  than the prices of  gold and other resources.
The unstable  political and  social  conditions in  South Africa  and  unsettled
political  conditions prevailing  in neighboring  countries may  have disruptive
effects on the market prices of securities in South African companies.

The Series may make short sales of securities. A short sale is a transaction  in
which  the Series sells a security it does  not own in anticipation of a decline
in market price. The Series may make  short sales to offset a potential  decline
in  a long position  or a group of  long positions, or  if the Series' Portfolio
Manager believes that a decline in the  price of a particular security or  group
of  securities is likely  as a result  of an unfavorable  "special situation" or
other reasons.  The  Portfolio  Manager  expects that,  even  during  normal  or
favorable  market conditions, the Series  may make short sales  in an attempt to
maintain portfolio  flexibility  and  facilitate  the  rapid  implementation  of
investment  strategies if  the Portfolio  Manager believes  that the  price of a
particular security or group of securities is likely to decline. For  additional
information,  see "Description of Securities  and Investment Techniques -- Short
Sales."

The Series may from time to time increase its ownership of securities above  the
amounts  otherwise possible  by borrowing from  banks on an  unsecured basis and
investing the borrowed  funds. As  further described under  "Borrowing," in  the
discussion  on "Description of  Securities and Investment  Techniques," any such
borrowing will be  made only  from banks and  is subject  to certain  percentage
limitations described under "Borrowing."

FULLY MANAGED SERIES

The Fully Managed Series' investment objective is to earn, over the long term, a
high  total investment return,  consistent with the  preservation of capital and
prudent investment  risk.  It  seeks  to achieve  this  objective  by  investing
primarily  in  common  stocks.  The  Series  may  also  invest  in  fixed income
securities and money market instruments  to preserve its principal value  during
uncertain  or declining market conditions. The  Series' strategy is based on the
premise that, from time to time, certain asset classes are more attractive  long
term  investments  than  others.  Total investment  return  consists  of current
income,  including  dividends,  interest  and  discount  accruals,  and  capital
appreciation.  Current  income will  be an  important  component of  the Series'
effort to maximize total return. The Portfolio Manager for the Series is T. Rowe
Price Associates, Inc.

The Portfolio Manager expects that  equity securities generally will  constitute
25%  to 85% of the Series' overall portfolio, and that the equity portfolio will
be widely diversified by number of  issuers. The Portfolio Manager expects  that
investment   opportunities  generally   will  be  sought   among  securities  of
large-capitalization, established  companies,  although securities  of  smaller,
less  well-known companies may also be selected. The Series may invest up to 25%
of its total assets in preferred stock.

In  selecting  investments  for  the  Series,  the  Portfolio  Manager  uses   a
"valuation"   discipline   to  identify   stocks   whose  prospects   for  price
appreciation, over  time, are  believed to  exceed the  risk of  loss of  market
value.  Through  this process,  a security's  current  market value  is analyzed
relative to  each  of the  following:  the  company's assets,  such  as  natural
resources  and  real  estate;  the  company's  replacement  cost  of  plant  and
equipment;  the   company's  consumer   or   commercial  franchises,   such   as
well-recognized  trademarks  or  established  brand  names;  and  the  company's
earnings or  growth potential.  The  Portfolio Manager  also seeks  to  identify
securities  that  have been  over-discounted due  to adverse  operating results,
deteriorating economic  or industry  conditions,  or unfavorable  publicity.  By
investing  after  the  adverse conditions  are  reflected  in the  price  of the
company's securities, the  risks associated with  such out-of-favor  investments
may  be  limited. The  utilization  of this  contrarian  approach may  result in
investment selections which are counter to those of most investors.

It is anticipated that debt  securities, including convertible bonds, may  often
constitute between 25% and 50% of the Series' overall portfolio. Debt securities
purchased  by the  Series may  be of  any maturity.  It is  anticipated that the
weighted average maturity of the debt  portfolio generally will be between  four
and ten years, but may be shorter or longer. The Portfolio Manager may invest up
to  5%  of the  Series'  assets, measured  at the  time  of investment,  in debt
securities that are rated below investment grade or, if not rated, of equivalent
quality. See "High Yield Bonds" in this Prospectus.

 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)

The balance of the Series' portfolio will generally be invested in the following
money market instruments which have remaining maturities not exceeding one year:
(i) obligations issued  or guaranteed by  the U.S. Government,  its agencies  or
instrumentalities; (ii) negotiable certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances
and  fixed  time deposits  and other  obligations  of domestic  banks (including
foreign branches) that have more than $1 billion in total assets at the time  of
investment  and are members of the Federal Reserve System or are examined by the
Comptroller of the Currency or whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation; (iii) commercial paper rated  at the date of purchase  in
the  two highest rating  categories; and (iv)  repurchase agreements. The Series
also may invest  in short-term  U.S. dollar-denominated  obligations of  foreign
banks (including U.S. branches) at the time of purchase, if such banks have more
than $1 billion in total assets.

To  maximize potential return,  the Portfolio Manager  may utilize the following
investment methods:  writing  "covered"  listed put  and  call  equity  options,
including  options on stock indices, and purchasing such options; purchasing and
selling, for hedging  purposes, stock  index, interest rate,  and other  futures
contracts,  and  purchasing options  on  such futures;  purchasing  warrants and
preferred and convertible preferred stocks; entering into repurchase  agreements
and  reverse  repurchase agreements;  lending  portfolio securities  to brokers,
dealers, banks,  or  other  recognized institutional  borrowers  of  securities;
purchasing  restricted  securities;  purchasing securities  of  foreign issuers;
entering into forward currency contracts and currency exchange transactions  for
hedging  purposes; and borrowing  from banks to  purchase securities. The Series
will not engage in short sales of securities other than short sales "against the
box." See  "Description of  Securities and  Investment Techniques"  for  further
discussion of these investment methods.

LIMITED MATURITY BOND SERIES

The  Limited Maturity Bond  Series' primary investment  objective is the highest
current income  consistent  with low  risk  to  principal and  liquidity.  As  a
secondary  objective, the Series also seeks  to enhance its total return through
capital appreciation when  market factors,  such as falling  interest rates  and
rising  bond prices, indicate that capital appreciation may be available without
significant risk to principal. The Portfolio Manager for this Series is  Bankers
Trust Company.

The  Series  pursues  its objectives  primarily  by investing  in  a diversified
portfolio of limited maturity debt securities. These are
short-to-intermediate-term debt securities with  actual remaining maturities  of
seven  years or  less, and  other debt  securities with  special features (e.g.,
puts, variable  or  floating  coupon  rates,  maturity  extension  arrangements,
mortgage  pass-throughs, etc.) producing price  characteristics similar to those
of short-to-intermediate-term debt securities. Generally, the Series'  portfolio
securities  are selected from as many as ten sectors of the fixed income market,
each representing a different type of  fixed income investment. The ten  sectors
are as follows:

(i)  U.S. Treasury obligations;

(ii) U.S. Government agency and instrumentality
     securities;

(iii)repurchase agreements with respect to U.S.
     Treasury   obligations  and  U.S.  Government  agency  and  instrumentality
     securities;

(iv) asset-backed securities, including mortgage-
     backed securities  issued  or guaranteed  by  U.S. Government  agencies  or
     collateralized  by  U.S.  Treasury obligations  or  U.S.  government agency
     securities, mortgages pooled  by high-quality  financial institutions,  and
     other  asset-backed securities representing  pools of receivables unrelated
     to mortgage loans;

(v)  banking industry obligations, including
certificates of  deposit,  time deposits,  and  bankers' acceptances  issued  by
     commercial banks;

(vi) savings industry obligations, including
certificates   of  deposit  and  time  deposits   issued  by  savings  and  loan
     associations;

(vii)corporate debt securities;

(viii)
     corporate commercial paper, consisting
primarily of unsecured notes  with maturities of nine  months or less issued  to
     finance short-term credit needs;

(ix) variable or floating rate securities, the coupon
     rates of which vary with a designated money market index; and

(x)  foreign securities denominated in U.S. dollars.

For additional information as to the characteristics and risks of investments in
several  of these  sectors, see  the "Description  of Securities  and Investment
Techniques" in this Prospectus.

The Portfolio Manager conducts  a continuing review of  sector yields and  other
information. These data are analyzed in light of market conditions and trends in
order  to determine which  investment sectors offer  the best values  on a total
return basis. Where the yield of a

                                       16
<PAGE>
 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)
sector exceeds that of comparable U.S. Treasury obligations, the excess yield or
"premium" is  analyzed to  determine  whether and  to  what extent  it  reflects
additional  risk  in  that  sector.  During  periods  that  yield  differentials
available  in  the  non-governmental  sectors  do  not  appear  to  justify  the
additional  risks involved, the Series will invest more heavily in U.S. Treasury
obligations and U.S. Government agency and instrumentality securities.

Ordinarily, the Series' portfolio will include  securities from five or more  of
the investment sectors. The Series does not intend to concentrate 25% or more of
its total assets in debt securities of issuers in any single industry.

After  the sectors  for investment have  been chosen,  individual securities are
selected from within these sectors on the basis of yield, creditworthiness,  and
liquidity.  The Series will invest in  corporate debt securities and variable or
floating rate securities  only if  such securities are  rated Baa  or better  by
Moody's  or BBB or better by  Standard & Poor's, or, if  not rated by Moody's or
Standard &  Poor's,  if  the  Portfolio Manager  determines  that  they  are  of
equivalent quality. The Series will invest in corporate commercial paper only if
rated  Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody's or A-1  or A-2 by Standard & Poor's, or, if
not rated by Moody's or Standard  & Poor's, if the Portfolio Manager  determines
that  the commercial paper is of equivalent quality. For additional information,
see "Appendix 1: Description of Bond Ratings" in the SAI.

The Series seeks to reduce risk, increase income, and preserve or enhance  total
return  by actively managing  the maturity of  its portfolio in  light of market
conditions and trends.  When, in the  opinion of the  Portfolio Manager,  market
indicators  point  to  higher  interest rates  and  lower  bond  prices, average
maturity generally will  be shortened.  When falling interest  rates and  rising
bond  prices are indicated, a longer average portfolio maturity generally can be
expected.

During periods of rising or falling interest rates, the Series may also seek  to
hedge  all or  a part  of its  portfolio against  related changes  in securities
prices by buying or selling interest rate futures contracts and options thereon.
Such a strategy  involves using the  contracts as a  maturity management  device
that  reduces risk and preserves total  return while the Series is restructuring
its portfolio  in  response  to  the changing  interest  rate  environment.  For
information  on such  contracts, see  "Description of  Securities and Investment
Techniques."

The dollar-weighted average maturity  of the Series'  portfolio will not  exceed
five  years, and, in periods of rapidly  rising interest rates, may be shortened
to one year  or less. For  these purposes, (i)  the maturity of  mortgage-backed
securities  is determined on an "expected life" basis, (ii) variable or floating
rate securities are deemed to mature at the next interest rate adjustment  date,
and (iii) debt securities with put features are deemed to mature at the next put
exercise date. Positions in interest rate futures contracts (long or short) will
be reflected in average portfolio maturity on the basis of the maturities of the
securities underlying the futures contracts.

The  Series may invest in private placements  of debt securities. The Series may
also purchase  securities (including  mortgage-backed securities  such as  GNMA,
FNMA,  and FHLMC  Certificates) on a  when-issued basis. A  description of these
techniques and  their  attendant risks  is  contained  in the  section  of  this
Prospectus entitled "Description of Securities and Investment Techniques."

NATURAL RESOURCES SERIES

The  Natural Resources Series  seeks long-term capital  appreciation. The Series
seeks this objective  by investing primarily  in equity and  debt securities  of
companies  engaged in the exploration, development, production, and distribution
of natural resources such as gold  and other precious metals, strategic  metals,
minerals,  oil, natural gas, and coal. The  Series may also invest in equity and
debt securities of  companies which  themselves invest in  companies engaged  in
these  activities.  Although  current  income  may be  realized,  it  is  not an
investment objective; it  is anticipated  that the  Series will  realize only  a
nominal  amount  of current  income. The  Series' Portfolio  Manager is  Van Eck
Associates Corporation.

The Series'  Portfolio Manager  believes securities  of some  natural  resources
companies, sometimes referred to as "hard asset" companies, offer an opportunity
to  protect  wealth  against  eroding  monetary  values.  The  Portfolio Manager
believes that recent history  indicates that the  policies of many  governments,
particularly  persistent budget deficits and high  rates of money supply growth,
have, at  times,  had  long-term inflationary  consequences.  Generally,  during
periods  of accelerating inflation, the prices  of many natural resources equity
securities sometimes  have risen  faster than  the rate  of inflation;  and  the
Portfolio  Manager believes  that they  will continue  to do  so in  the future.
During such periods, interest rates and yields on industrial shares have  risen,
causing  the prices of fixed income and industrial equity securities to decline.
The Portfolio  Manager  anticipates that  inflation  and the  price  of  certain
natural resources will

                                       17
<PAGE>
 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)
continue  on  a long-term  upward  trend with  alternating  cycles as  credit is
overexpanded and subsequently tightened.  Since the market  action of shares  of
companies  engaged in certain  natural resources activities  may move against or
independently of the  market trend of  industrial shares, the  addition of  such
shares  to  an  overall  portfolio  may  increase  the  return  and  reduce  the
fluctuations of such portfolio. There can be no assurance that an increased rate
of return  or reduced  fluctuation of  a portfolio  will be  achieved. Thus,  an
investment  in  the  Series' shares  should  be  considered part  of  an overall
investment program rather than a complete investment program.

The Series may invest in securities of foreign issuers, including securities  of
South  African issuers. The relative amount of the Series' investment in foreign
issuers will change  from time to  time, and  the Series is  subject to  certain
guidelines  for diversification of foreign  security investments. Investments by
the Series in securities  of foreign issuers  may involve particular  investment
risks.  See  "Description  of  Securities  and  Investment  Techniques"  in this
Prospectus. Political  and social  conditions  in South  Africa, due  to  former
segregation  policies of  the South  African government  and unsettled political
conditions prevailing  in  South  Africa and  neighboring  countries,  may  pose
certain   risks  to  the   Series'  investments.  If   aggravated  by  local  or
international  developments,  such  risks  could  have  an  adverse  effect   on
investments  in  South  Africa,  including the  Series'  investments  and, under
certain conditions, on the liquidity of the Series' portfolio and its ability to
meet shareholder redemption requests.  The ability of the  Series to invest,  or
hold  its investments,  in South  African companies  may be  further affected by
changes in United  States or  South African laws  or regulations.  In the  past,
legislation  has been proposed  in Congress which  would require U.S. investors,
including the Series, to sell their investments in South Africa. Notwithstanding
these  considerations,  the  recent  liberalization  respecting  South  Africa's
segregationist  policies could reduce  the legislative risks  described above in
the future.

The Series will normally invest at least  65% of its total assets in  securities
of  companies engaged in  the above-described natural  resources activities. The
Series reserves the right to invest up to 10% of its net assets, taken at market
value at the time of  investment, in gold bullion  and coins and other  precious
metal  (silver and  platinum) bullion.  The Series  may invest  over 25%  of its
assets in  securities of  companies predominantly  engaged in  gold  operations,
although  the Series will not invest in any such security or in gold bullion and
coins if, after such acquisition, more than 50% of the Series' assets (taken  at
market  value at the time of such investment) would be invested in securities of
companies predominantly  engaged in  gold  operations and  in gold  bullion  and
coins.  The  Series  may also  invest  directly in  other  commodities including
petroleum and strategic metals. The Series may invest up to 35% of the value  of
its  total  assets in:  (a) common  stock  of companies  not engaged  in natural
resources  activities,  (b)  investment-grade  corporate  debt  securities,  (c)
obligations  issued  or guaranteed  by U.S.  or  foreign governments,  (d) money
market instruments, and (e) repurchase agreements.

During periods of less favorable  economic and/or market conditions, the  Series
may make substantial investments for temporary defensive purposes in obligations
of   the  U.S.  Government,  certificates   of  deposit,  bankers'  acceptances,
investment grade commercial paper, and repurchase agreements.

The Series may  engage in short  sales, and may  lend portfolio securities.  The
Series  may  also invest  up to  5% of  its assets  at the  time of  purchase in
warrants, and may purchase or sell put or call options on securities and foreign
currencies. The Series  may engage  in futures  contracts and  options on  those
contracts.  These  techniques are  described in  "Description of  Securities and
Investment Techniques."

Since the Series  may invest substantially  all of its  assets in securities  of
companies engaged in natural resources/hard asset activities and may concentrate
in securities of companies engaged in gold operations, the Series may be subject
to  greater risks and  market fluctuations than  other investment companies with
more diversified portfolios. At the present  time, many major producers of  gold
bullion  are located in  foreign countries, and the  production and marketing of
gold, precious metals, and other natural resources may be affected by the  risks
of  investing  in  foreign  countries,  including  actions  of  and  changes  in
governments. Gold and natural  resources securities may  be cyclical in  nature.
Based  upon  historical  experience,  during periods  of  economic  or financial
instability, the securities of some  gold and other natural resources  companies
may be subject to broad price fluctuations, reflecting volatility of prices and,
in  some instances,  instability of  supply of  precious and  other metals, oil,
coal, timber,  or other  natural  resources. Instability  of prices  may  affect
earnings  of gold and other natural resources companies and may adversely affect
the financial condition of such  companies. In addition, some natural  resources
companies  may also be subject to the risks generally associated with extraction
of   gold   and   natural   resources,    such   as   the   risks   of    mining

                                       18
<PAGE>
 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)

and  oil  drilling,  and  the  risks  of  the  hazards  associated  with natural
resources, such as fire, drought, and others.

REAL ESTATE SERIES

The  primary  investment  objective  of  the  Real  Estate  Series  is   capital
appreciation.  Current income is  a secondary objective.  The Series seeks these
objectives primarily through investment in publicly traded equity securities  of
companies  in the real estate industry that  are listed on national exchanges or
the National  Association  of  Securities  Dealers  Automated  Quotation  System
("NASDAQ").  Securities are selected  for long-term investment.  It is generally
not the policy of the Series to purchase securities merely for short-term  gain,
although there may be a limited number of short-term transactions. The Portfolio
Manager for the Series is E.I.I. Realty Securities, Inc.

The  Series will  invest not  less than 65%  of its  total assets  in common and
preferred stocks and convertible preferred securities of companies which have at
least 50% of the value of their assets in, or which derive at least 50% of their
revenues from, the ownership, construction, management, or sale of  residential,
commercial,  or industrial real estate, which  include listed equity real estate
investment  trusts  which  own  properties,  and  listed  mortgage  real  estate
investment  trusts which  make short-term construction  and development mortgage
loans or which invest in long-term  mortgages or mortgage pools. The Series  may
invest  more than 25% of its total assets in any of the foregoing sectors of the
real estate industry.  The Series'  assets may,  however, be  invested in  money
market  instruments and  U.S. Government  securities if,  in the  opinion of the
Portfolio Manager, market  conditions warrant a  temporary defensive  investment
strategy.

The  Series  may invest  up  to 35%  of  its total  assets  in equity,  debt, or
convertible securities of issuers whose products and services are related to the
real estate  industry,  such  as  manufacturers  and  distributors  of  building
supplies,  and up  to 25%  of its total  assets in  financial institutions which
issue or service mortgages, such as  savings and loans or mortgage bankers.  The
Series  also may  invest in  the securities of  companies unrelated  to the real
estate industry but which have significant  real estate holdings believed to  be
undervalued relative to the price of the companies' securities.

In  addition to the common and preferred  stocks described above, the Series may
invest up to 35%  of its total  assets in securities  believed by the  Portfolio
Manager  to be  undervalued and  have capital  appreciation potential, including
warrants and other  rights to purchase  securities (up to  5% of total  assets),
bonds,  convertible securities, and publicly  traded limited partnerships listed
on national securities exchanges or  NASDAQ. The Series may  invest up to 5%  of
its  total  assets in  bonds, convertible  securities, and  limited partnerships
traded on the Toronto or London Stock  Exchanges. The Series may also invest  up
to  20%  of  its assets,  measured  at the  time  of investment,  in  high yield
convertible bonds that are  rated below investment grade  by one of the  primary
rating  agencies (or  if not rated,  deemed to  be of comparable  quality by the
Portfolio Manager). See "High Yield Bonds."

There are risks inherent in the  Series' investment policies. The Series may  be
subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate because
of  its  policy  of concentration  in  the  securities of  companies  which own,
construct, manage, or sell residential,  commercial, or industrial real  estate.
These  risks include: declines in  the value of real  estate, adverse changes in
the climate  for  real estate,  risks  related  to general  and  local  economic
conditions, over-building and increased competition, increases in property taxes
and operating expenses, changes in zoning laws, casualty or condemnation losses,
limitations  on rents, changes in neighborhood  values, the appeal of properties
to tenants, leveraging of  interests in real estate,  and increases in  interest
rates.  The  value of  securities  of companies  which  service the  real estate
industry may also be affected by such risks.

In addition to the risks discussed  above, equity real estate investment  trusts
may  be affected by any changes in the value of the underlying property owned by
the trusts, while mortgage real estate investment trusts may be affected by  the
quality  of  any  credit  extended. Further,  equity  and  mortgage  real estate
investment trusts are dependent upon management skill, are not diversified,  and
are  therefore subject to  the risk of  financing single or  a limited number of
projects. Such trusts are also subject  to heavy cash flow dependency,  defaults
by  borrowers, self liquidation,  and the possibility of  failing to qualify for
special tax treatment  under Subchapter M  of the Internal  Revenue Code and  to
maintain an exemption under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Finally, certain
real estate investment trusts may be self-liquidating in that a specific term of
existence  is provided for  in the trust  document. Such trusts  run the risk of
liquidating at an economically inopportune time.

                                       19

 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)

ALL-GROWTH SERIES

The All-Growth Series' investment objective is capital appreciation. The  Series
seeks  to achieve its objective through investment in securities selected on the
basis of fundamental investment research  for their long-term growth  prospects.
The Portfolio Manager for the Series is Warburg, Pincus Counsellors, Inc.

In  considering securities for the Series, the Portfolio Manager (1) selects for
investment  those  companies   whose  unique   characteristics  or   proprietary
advantages, it believes, offer the best prospects for above average increases in
revenues  and  earnings;  (2)  selects  companies that  tend  to  be  grouped in
industries that, from time to time, are judged to be less likely to be  affected
by  the business cycle  and/or have already experienced  the negative effects of
the capital markets;  and (3) monitors  both companies and  their industries  to
make  certain they retain the characteristics that led to their selection in the
first place.

The Series'  policy  stresses  flexibility and  adaptability  in  arranging  its
portfolio to seek the desired results. Common stocks will generally constitute a
majority  of the portfolio,  but the Series  may invest in  preferred stocks and
debt securities (including money  market obligations) when,  in the judgment  of
the Portfolio Manager, a more conservative investment position seems appropriate
in  light  of anticipated  market  conditions. The  Series  will not  invest for
purposes of exercising management or control.

Assets of  the Series  will be  subject to  the risks  of investment  in  equity
securities,  I.E., there is no assurance of  capital appreciation and there is a
substantial  risk  of  decline.  Investment  in  the  securities  of  unseasoned
companies may in some instances involve a higher degree of risk than investments
in  securities of companies with longer  operating histories. Any current income
from dividends received from  such securities will  be entirely incidental.  The
Series  is not suitable for investors  seeking a consistent and/or minimum level
of income.

The Series may invest up to 10% of its assets in securities of foreign  issuers.
The  Series may also engage in short sales, subject to Shareholder approval of a
change in the investment restrictions applicable  to the Series. The Series  may
also  write "covered"  listed put and  call equity options  including options on
stock indices,  and  purchase  such  options; purchase  and  sell  stock  index,
interest  rate,  and  other  futures contracts;  and  purchase  options  on such
futures. It is not the policy of the Series to invest in securities of companies
with no operating history. The Series is permitted to borrow for the purpose  of
making leveraged investments, subject to regulatory restrictions. For discussion
of  the  risks  involved in  these  investment techniques,  see  "Description of
Securities and Investment Techniques."

CAPITAL APPRECIATION SERIES

The investment objective of the Series is to generate long-term capital  growth.
In  seeking this objective, the Series will invest primarily in common stock and
preferred stock  that  will  be  allocated  between  two  categories  of  stocks
described  below and  referred to as  "components." The components  in which the
Series will  invest  are the  growth  component  and the  value  component.  The
Portfolio Manager for the Series is Chancellor Trust Company.

The  Portfolio  Manager  will  allocate  the  Series'  assets  between  the  two
components in an  effort to  maximize the  potential for  achieving the  Series'
overall  objective. The  Portfolio Manager may  allocate the  assets between the
components in its discretion  in any proportion that  it deems appropriate.  The
Portfolio Manager is free to allocate the Series' assets such that, at any point
in  time, there may be  little or no assets allocated  to one of the components.
The Portfolio Manager  may select a  particular security for  inclusion in  both
components,  provided  that  it  meets  the  criteria  for  each  component. The
Portfolio Manager  will select  securities  for each  component based  upon  the
criteria for each component as described below:

THE GROWTH COMPONENT.  The securities eligible for this component are those that
the  Portfolio Manager  believes have  the following  characteristics: they have
stability and quality of earnings and positive earnings momentum; have  dominant
competitive positions; and demonstrate above-average growth rates as compared to
published S&P 500 earnings projections.

THE  VALUE COMPONENT.  Securities eligible for this component are those that the
Portfolio Manager regards as fundamentally undervalued, I.E., securities selling
at a discount to asset value and securities with a relatively low price/earnings
ratio. The securities eligible for this component may include real estate  stock
such  as securities of publicly-owned companies that, in the Portfolio Manager's
judgment, offer  an  optimum combination  of  current dividend  yield,  expected
dividend  growth, and discount to current  real estate value. Real estate stocks
may also include those issued by companies in industries related to real estate,
including companies that  own, develop or  provide services to  income-producing
real  estate,  and commercial  and community  developers,  and may  include real
estate investment trusts and "land rich"

                                       20
<PAGE>
 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)
companies, which are companies that are not in the real estate industry but that
have significant  real  estate related  assets  and  whose stock  price  may  be
affected by the real estate assets they hold.

If  the Portfolio  Manager believes that  the expected market  return for equity
securities over a twelve-month period is less than a premium over U.S.  Treasury
bills  that equity securities  have historically provided, the  Series may, as a
temporary defensive measure,  invest up  to 40% of  its assets  in money  market
instruments  and  short-term  investment  grade  debt  securities  until  market
conditions improve. Investment  grade securities  are generally  those rated  at
least Baa by Moody's or BBB by Standard & Poor's, or unrated securities that the
Portfolio  Manager determines are of comparable quality. The Series from time to
time may invest in money market  instruments to the extent appropriate,  pending
investment in the types of securities in which the Series normally invests or in
anticipation  of redemptions. Money  market instruments in  which the Series may
invest include  U.S. Government  securities, certificates  of deposit,  bankers'
acceptances,  time deposits, commercial paper  and other U.S. dollar-denominated
obligations of domestic and foreign corporations, and repurchase agreements.

To maximize  potential  return, the  Portfolio  Manager may  use  the  following
investment  methods:  writing  "covered"  listed  put  and  call  equity options
including options on stock indices, and purchasing such options; purchasing  and
selling  stock index, interest rate, and other futures contracts, and purchasing
options on such futures; entering into repurchase agreements; and borrowing from
banks to purchase securities. The Series may also invest up to 20% of its  total
assets  in Depositary Receipts. The  Series may engage in  short sales and short
sales  "against  the  box."  See  "Description  of  Securities  and   Investment
Techniques" for further discussion of these investment methods. For a discussion
of  investment in investment grade debt securities, see "Debt Securities." For a
description of the risks of investment in industries related to real estate, see
"Investment Objectives and Policies -- Real Estate Series."

RISING DIVIDENDS SERIES

The investment objective of the Rising Dividends Series is capital appreciation.
Dividend income is a secondary objective.  The Portfolio Manager for the  Series
is Kayne, Anderson Investment Management, L.P.

In  seeking these objectives the Series normally invests at least 80% of its net
assets in equity securities of companies determined to be of high quality by the
Portfolio Manager that meet the following four criteria:

(i) Consistent  dividend  increases  --  The company  must  have  increased  its
    dividends in seven of the last ten years.

(ii)  Substantial dividend increases  -- The company must  have at least doubled
    its dividends in the last ten years.

(iii) Reinvested  profits --  The company  must  reinvest at  least 35%  of  its
    profits annually.

(iv) Under-leveraged balance sheet -- The company must have less than 35% of its
    total capitalization in long term debt.

In  selecting securities, the Portfolio Manager screens a universe of over 7,000
companies for those companies that meet the above criteria. From this  universe,
the  Portfolio Manager anticipates  that only a few  hundred companies will meet
the criteria, each of which is individually analyzed by the Portfolio Manager to
consider its  past  and  present  competitive  position  within  its  respective
industry.  Each security is analyzed on  a proprietary computer matrix, based on
the Portfolio Manager's projections of  each company's growth in earnings,  cash
flow,  and dividends.  Target prices  and value  ranges are  developed from this
analysis. The securities are ranked based  on their potential total return,  and
their  risk/reward ratio. Portfolio  selection is made from  among the top rated
securities.

It is  anticipated that  the Series'  portfolio  will contain  a minimum  of  25
issues. In addition, it is the policy of the Series that no equity security will
be acquired if, after its acquisition, more than 15% of the Series' total assets
would  be invested in any one industry or  more than 5% would be invested in any
one issuer. The Portfolio Manager does not  intend to invest any of the  Series'
assets  in  securities  that, at  the  time  of investment,  it  believes  to be
illiquid.  The  Portfolio  Manager  periodically  monitors  the  Series'  equity
securities  to assure they  meet the four  criteria. A security  usually will be
eliminated from the Portfolio  when it reaches its  target price, when  negative
changes  occur in either the company or its industry, or when any one or more of
the four criteria are no longer satisfied. There may from time to time be  other
equity  securities  in  the Portfolio  which  meet  most, but  not  all,  of the
criteria, but which the  Portfolio Manager deems  a suitable investment.  Equity
securities  are  deemed to  include common  stocks, securities  convertible into
common stocks, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase common stocks.

                                       21

 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)

The Portfolio Manager  may enter  into forward currency  contracts and  currency
exchange  transactions  for hedging  purposes.  During those  times  when equity
securities that  meet  the Portfolio  Manager's  investment criteria  cannot  be
found,  for temporary defensive purposes  or pending longer-term investment, the
Series may invest any amount of its assets in short-term fixed income securities
or in cash or cash equivalents.

EMERGING MARKETS SERIES

The investment objective of the Emerging  Markets Series is long-term growth  of
capital.  The  Series  seeks this  objective  by investing  primarily  in equity
securities of companies that are considered to be in emerging market  countries.
Income  is not an objective, and any  production of current income is considered
incidental to the objective of growth of capital. The Series will be diversified
by issuer, and normally will  be invested in companies  located in at least  six
different  emerging market countries. The investment philosophy of the Series is
to attempt to capitalize upon emerging capital markets in developing nations and
other nations  in  which  the  Portfolio  Manager  believes  that  economic  and
political  factors are likely to produce above average growth rates. The Series'
Portfolio Manager is Bankers  Trust Company. Bankers  Trust Company has  entered
into  a  sub-advisory agreement  with BT  Fund Managers  (International) Limited
pursuant to which BT Fund Managers (International) Limited provides advisory and
management services with respect to the Series' assets allocated for  investment
in the Pacific Basin.

At  least 65%  of the  Series' assets  normally will  be invested  in the equity
securities of  issuers  in countries  that  are identified  as  emerging  market
countries  in  the Morgan  Stanley Capital  International Emerging  Markets Free
Index or  the International  Finance  Corporation Emerging  Market Index,  or  a
country  that the  Portfolio Manager  otherwise believes  is an  emerging market
country because it has a developing economy or because its markets have begun  a
process of change and are growing in size and/or sophistication.

The  Portfolio  Manager  will  allocate the  Series'  assets  for  investment in
emerging market countries in  its discretion, taking  into account economic  and
political  factors that  may include,  among others,  relative market valuation,
earnings momentum, supply and  demand, the prospects  for relative growth  among
the   regions  and  the   countries  therein,  expected   levels  of  inflation,
governmental policies influencing business conditions, the outlook for  currency
relationships,   and  the  range  of   alternative  opportunities  available  to
international investors.  The  Portfolio Manager  may  determine to  change  its
allocation at any time.

For purposes of allocating the Series' investments, a company will be considered
located  in  the country  in  which the  company is  domiciled,  in which  it is
primarily traded, from which it derives  a significant portion of its  revenues,
or  in which a significant portion of its goods or services are produced. Equity
securities that may be acquired include  common stock and other securities  with
equity   characteristics,  including  preferred   stock,  rights  and  warrants,
convertible securities, which may consist of debt securities or preferred  stock
that  may be  converted into common  stock or  that carry the  right to purchase
common stock, and shares of investment companies.

In selecting  securities in  emerging market  countries, the  Portfolio  Manager
seeks  undervalued investment  opportunities for  growth. The  Portfolio Manager
uses a disciplined, value-oriented investment philosophy that generally stresses
the inherent value of companies under examination, usually based upon the medium
term outlook for such companies. Securities may be considered for the  company's
fundamental  financial characteristics, its earnings potential, or the potential
for economic  development of  the country  or  region in  which the  company  is
located.

To the extent that the Series' assets are not invested in emerging market equity
securities,  the remainder of the Series' assets, which normally will not exceed
35% of net assets, may  be invested in debt  securities issued or guaranteed  by
corporate or governmental issuers in an emerging market country (including Brady
Bonds)  or  an  industrialized country,  including  the United  States;  in bank
deposits or bank obligations (including certificates of deposit, time  deposits,
and  bankers'  acceptances)  of  banks  in  emerging  market  or  industrialized
countries, including  the United  States;  instruments issued  by  international
development  agencies; and  in high-quality money  market instruments, including
commercial paper and other short-term  corporate debt obligations of issuers  in
industrialized  and emerging market countries.  The Portfolio Manager may invest
up to 10% of  the Series' assets,  measured at the time  of investment, in  debt
securities that are rated below investment grade or, if not rated, of equivalent
quality.  See "High Yield Bonds" in this Prospectus and "Debt Securities" in the
Statement of Additional Information.

For temporary  defensive purposes,  the Series  may decrease  its investment  in
emerging  market  country equity  securities, and  may  invest to  a significant
degree

                                       22
<PAGE>
 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)
in debt securities and bank and money market instruments as described above.  In
addition,  the Series may invest significantly  in such securities after receipt
of new monies.

Most of the foreign securities in  which the Series invests will be  denominated
in foreign currencies. The Series may engage in foreign currency transactions in
anticipation  of or to protect itself  against fluctuations in currency exchange
rates in relation  to the U.S.  dollar. Such foreign  currency transactions  may
include  forward foreign currency contracts, currency exchange transactions on a
spot (i.e., cash) basis, put and call options on foreign currencies, and foreign
exchange  futures  contracts.  For  a  description  on  these  techniques,   see
"Description  of  Securities  and  Investment  Techniques  --  Foreign  Currency
Transactions" in this Prospectus.

The Emerging Markets Series may use various investment strategies and techniques
to meet its  investment objectives, including  purchasing options on  securities
and  writing (selling)  secured put and  covered call options  on securities and
securities indexes. The Series may purchase and sell futures contracts, and  may
purchase  and  write options  on  such futures  contracts.  The Series  may also
purchase and sell stock index futures contracts. When deemed appropriate by  the
Portfolio  Manager, the Series may enter  into reverse repurchase agreements and
may invest cash balances in  repurchase agreements and money market  instruments
in  an amount necessary to maintain liquidity,  in an amount to meet expenses or
for day-to-day operating  purposes. The  Series may  invest in  shares of  other
investment   companies,  provided  that  such   investment  companies  invest  a
significant portion of assets in emerging capital markets. The Series may invest
in restricted securities and warrants. These investment techniques are described
under the heading "Description of Securities and Investment Techniques" in  this
Prospectus or in the Statement of Additional Information.

Investment  in  the securities  of foreign  issuers  involves special  risks and
considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. For  a
description  of  these  risks,  see "Description  of  Securities  and Investment
Techniques -- Foreign  Securities" in this  Prospecutus. Investment in  emerging
markets  countries presents risks in a greater  degree than, and in addition to,
those presented  by  investment in  foreign  issuers  in general.  A  number  of
emerging  market countries restrict,  to varying degrees,  foreign investment in
stocks. Repatriation of  investment income,  capital, and proceeds  of sales  by
foreign  investors may require governmental registration and/or approval in some
emerging market countries. A  number of the  currencies of developing  countries
have  experienced significant declines against the  U.S. dollar in recent years,
and devaluation may occur subsequent to  investments in those currencies by  the
Series.  Inflation and  rapid fluctuations in  inflation rates have  had and may
continue to have  negative effects on  the economies and  securities markets  of
certain emerging market countries.

Many  of the emerging securities markets  are relatively small, have low trading
volumes, suffer  periods  of  relative illiquidity,  and  are  characterized  by
significant  price volatility. There is a risk in emerging market countries that
a future  economic or  political crisis  could lead  to price  controls,  forced
mergers   of  companies,   expropriation  or   confiscatory  taxation,  seizure,
nationalization, foreign exchange controls (which may include suspension of  the
ability  to transfer  currency from a  given country) or  creation of government
monopolies,  any  of  which  may  have  a  detrimental  effect  on  the  Series'
investment.  In addition,  in many  countries there  is less  publicly available
information about  issuers  than is  available  in the  United  States.  Foreign
companies  are  not  generally  subject  to  uniform  accounting,  auditing, and
financial reporting standards, and auditing  practices and requirements may  not
be  comparable to  those applicable to  U.S. companies. Further,  the Series may
encounter  difficulties  or  be  unable  to  pursue  legal  remedies  or  obtain
judgements in foreign courts.

VALUE EQUITY SERIES

The  investment objective  of the Value  Equity Series  is capital appreciation.
Dividend income is a secondary objective.  The Portfolio Manager for the  Series
is Eagle Asset Management, Inc. At least 65% of the Series' assets normally will
be invested in equity securities.

In seeking these objectives the Series invests primarily in equity securities of
U.S.  and  foreign issuers  which, when  purchased, meet  quantitative standards
believed by the Portfolio Manager to indicate above average financial  soundness
and  high intrinsic value relative to price. In selecting equity securities, the
Portfolio Manager analyzes  companies using the  four criteria described  below.
While  some companies  selected for  investment may  meet more  than one  of the
criteria described below, the Series' investment policy is to primarily  invest,
under normal circumstances, in

                                       23
<PAGE>
 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)
companies  that, at the time  of investment, meet at  least one of the criteria.
The criteria used by the Portfolio Manager are as follows:

1.  Price/earnings or price/book value ratio approximates or falls below 75%  of
    that  of the average of the companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite
    Stock Price Index ("S&P 500");

2.  Dividend yield approximates at least 66% of the prevailing average yield  to
    maturity of the five most actively traded long-term U.S. Government bonds;

3.    Per  share going-concern  value  (I.E.,  a company's  value  if  its major
    subsidiaries and assets are  sold), as estimated  by the Portfolio  Manager,
    exceeds market value; or

4.   Long-term debt of the company  approximates or falls below its tangible net
    worth.

In selecting securities, the Portfolio Manager screens a universe of over  2,500
companies  for those companies that meet the above criteria. From this universe,
the Portfolio Manager anticipates  that only a few  hundred companies will  meet
one or more of the criteria. Each company identified by the initial screening is
individually  analyzed by the Portfolio Manager to consider its past and present
competitive position within its respective  industry. Each security is  analyzed
based  on  the  Portfolio  Manager's projections  of  each  company's  growth in
earnings and  dividends,  earnings  momentum,  and  undervaluation  based  on  a
discount  dividend model. Target prices and value ranges are developed from this
analysis and portfolio selection is made from among the top rated securities.

The Series  may also  invest in  debt  securities, and  intends to  limit  those
investments  to U.S.  Government and  agency obligations.  The portion  of total
assets invested in  common stocks  and debt securities  will vary  based on  the
availability  of common stocks meeting the  selection criteria and the Portfolio
Manager's judgment of  the investment merit  of common stocks  relative to  debt
securities. The Series may also invest cash balances in certificates of deposit,
bankers'  acceptances, high quality commercial paper, Treasury bills, repurchase
agreements,  and  other   money  market  instruments.   During  adverse   market
conditions,   as  a  temporary   investment  posture,  the   Series  may  invest
significantly in  the debt  securities and  money market  instruments  described
above.

The  Series may  invest without limit  in equity securities  of foreign issuers,
including American  Depositary  Receipts. However,  it  is expected  that  under
ordinary  circumstances, the Series will not invest  more than 25% of its assets
in foreign issuers, measured at the time of investment. For a description of the
risks associated  with  investment  in  foreign  issuers,  see  "Description  of
Securities and Investment Techniques -- Foreign Securities" in this Prospectus.

It  is  anticipated that  the Series'  portfolio  will contain  a minimum  of 50
issues. In addition, it is the policy of the Series that no equity security will
be acquired if, after its acquisition, more than 25% of the Series' total assets
would be invested in any one industry or  more than 5% would be invested in  any
one  issuer.  The Portfolio  Manager  periodically monitors  the  Series' equity
securities to assure they meet the  selection criteria. A security usually  will
be  eliminated from the Series' portfolio when it reaches its target price, when
negative changes occur in either the company or its industry, or when there is a
significant change in one or more of the selection criteria. From time to  time,
the  Series  may invest  in equity  securities  that do  not meet  the selection
criteria described  above, but  which  the Portfolio  Manager deems  a  suitable
investment.  For purposes of the  Series' investment policies, equity securities
are deemed to include common stocks, securities convertible into common  stocks,
options  on  equity  securities, and  rights  or  warrants to  subscribe  for or
purchase common  stocks.  The  Series  may also  invest  in  Standard  &  Poor's
Depositary  Receipts, which are  publicly traded interests  in a unit investment
trust that invests in substantially all of the common stocks in the S&P 500.

The Series may also  invest in restricted or  illiquid securities; however,  the
Portfolio  Manager does not intend to invest more than 15% of the Series' assets
in securities that, at the  time of investment, it  believes to be illiquid.  In
pursuing  its investment objective or for  hedging purposes, the Series may, but
is not required to, utilize  the following investment techniques: entering  into
stock  index,  interest  rate,  foreign  currency  and  other  financial futures
contracts, and  purchasing options  on such  futures contracts;  purchasing  and
writing  "covered" listed put and call options on securities, stock indices, and
currencies; entering  into  forward  currency contracts  and  currency  exchange
transactions;  and borrowing from banks to purchase securities. See "Description
of  Securities  and  Investment  Techniques"  for  a  discussion  of  the  risks
associated with these investment techniques.

STRATEGIC EQUITY SERIES

The  investment objective of  the Strategic Equity Series  is to achieve capital
appreciation. The  Series  seeks to  achieve  this objective  primarily  through
investment

                                       24
<PAGE>
 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)
   
in  equity securities.  The amount of  the Series' assets  allocated to equities
shall vary  from time  to  time to  seek  positive investment  performance  from
advancing  equity markets and to reduce  exposure to equities when the Portfolio
Manager believes that  their risk/ reward  characteristics are less  attractive.
The  Series' investments in equities include  both (1) stocks that the Portfolio
Manager selects for their "growth"  characteristics (which may include  positive
earnings  momentum and above average earnings growth rates), and (2) stocks that
the Portfolio  Manager selects  for their  "income" characteristics  (which  may
include  above average  dividend yields and  favorable dividend  growth). To the
extent not invested in equity securities,  the Series' assets generally will  be
invested in money market instruments or held as cash. The Series may also invest
in  debt securities for defensive purposes. The Portfolio Manager for the Series
is Zweig Advisors Inc.
    

   
The extent  of  the  Series'  investment in  equity  securities  will  be  based
primarily  on various  equity market timing  techniques developed  by Dr. Martin
Zweig (Ph.D. in  Finance) and  his staff.  The equity  market timing  techniques
incorporate  general  market indicators,  including  interest rate  and monetary
analysis, market sentiment indicators, price and trading volume statistics,  and
measures  of valuation, as well as  other market indicators and statistics which
the Portfolio  Manager believes  tend  to point  to  significant trends  in  the
overall  performance  and the  risk of  the  stock market.  For example,  if the
Portfolio Manager  believes  that the  stock  market investment  environment  is
uncertain or unfavorable and justifies a defensive position, then the Series may
decrease  its investments in  equity securities and  increase its investments in
money market instruments. During periods when the Portfolio Manager believes  an
overall  defensive position  is advisable, greater  than 50%  (and under certain
circumstances perhaps all) of the Series' total assets may be invested in  money
market  instruments and cash. The Portfolio Manager expects that the Series will
be fully invested in equity securities only when the Portfolio Manager  believes
that  there is  very low risk  in the stock  market. There is  no assurance that
these equity  market  timing  techniques  will eliminate  the  risks  of  equity
investments,  correctly predict market  trends, or enable  the Series to achieve
its investment objective.
    

The Portfolio Manager expects that the  equity portion of the Series'  portfolio
will  generally be divided equally between  "growth" stocks and "income" stocks.
Although the  Portfolio  Manager expects  to  invest assets  proportionately  in
growth  stocks and  income stocks  in order  to maintain  an approximately equal
weighting between growth  stocks and  income stocks, the  relative weighting  of
growth  stocks and income  stocks will fluctuate  from time to  time because of,
among other things, changes in the market value of the growth stocks and  income
stocks.  The Portfolio Manager may change  the relative weightings of the growth
stocks and income stocks from time  to time if the Portfolio Manager  determines
that  such  changes  are  appropriate  in  view  of  the  then  existing  market
conditions.  The  equity  portion  of  the  Series'  portfolio  will  be  widely
diversified  by the  number of  issues. The  Portfolio Manager  expects that the
majority of the stocks in the Series' portfolio will be selected on the basis of
proprietary computer-driven  stock  selection  models  that  evaluate  and  rank
approximately  1,500 of the most liquid stocks  on the basis of various factors,
which may  include  earnings  momentum, earnings  growth,  price-to-book  value,
price-to-earnings, price-to-cash flow, cash flow trend, price momentum, earnings
estimate revisions, payout ratio trend and other market measurements. Such stock
selection  models may evolve or be  replaced by other stock selection techniques
intended to achieve the Series' objective.

The Series  may  use  various  investment strategies  and  techniques  when  the
Portfolio  Manager determines that such use is  appropriate in an effort to meet
the Series' investment objective including:  buying "covered" listed put  equity
options  and writing "covered" listed call  equity options, including options on
stock indexes; short sales of securities; purchasing and selling stock index and
other futures  contracts,  and purchasing  options  on such  futures  contracts;
purchasing  and selling interest rate and gold futures contracts; borrowing from
banks to  purchase  securities;  investing in  securities  of  foreign  issuers;
entering  into foreign currency transactions  and options of foreign currencies;
entering into  repurchase  agreements  or  reverse  repurchase  agreements;  and
lending  portfolio securities  to brokers,  dealers, banks,  or other recognized
institutional borrowers of securities.

   
SMALL CAP SERIES
    

   
The investment objective of the Small Cap Series is to acheive long-term capital
appreciation. Except during temporary defensive periods, the Series will  invest
at  least 65% of its total assets in equity securities of companies that, at the
time of purchase, have total market  capitalization -- present market value  per
share  multiplied by the total  number of shares outstanding  -- of less than $1
billion. The  Series  may  invest up  to  35%  of its  total  assets  in  equity
securities  of  companies  that, at  the  time  of purchase,  have  total market
capitalization of $1 billion or greater and in
    

                                       25
<PAGE>
 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)
   
excess of that  amount (up  to 100% of  its assets)  during temporary  defensive
periods. The Portfolio Manager for the Series is Fred Alger Management, Inc.
    

   
The  Series seeks  to achieve its  objective by investing  in equity securities,
such  as  common  or  preferred  stocks,  or  securities  convertible  into   or
exchangeable  for equity securities,  including warrants and  rights. The Series
will invest primarily in companies whose securities are traded on domestic stock
exchanges or in the over-the-counter market. These companies may still be in the
developmental stage, may  be older companies  that appear to  be entering a  new
stage  of growth owing to  factors such as management  changes or development of
new technology, products or markets, or  may be companies providing products  or
services  with a high unit volume growth rate. In order to afford the Series the
flexibility to take advantage of new opportunities for investments in accordance
with its investment objective, it may hold up to 15% of its net assets in  money
market instruments and repurchase agreements and in excess of that amount (up to
100%  of its  assets) immediately  after the  commencement of  operations, after
receipt of new monies, or during temporary defensive periods. This amount may be
higher than that maintained by other funds with similar investment objectives.
    

   
Investing in  smaller,  newer  issuers  generally  involves  greater  risk  than
investing  in larger, more established issuers. Companies in which the Series is
likely to invest may have limited product lines, markets or financial  resources
and may lack management depth. The securities of such companies may have limited
marketability and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than
securities  of  larger, more  established companies  or  the market  averages in
general. Accordingly, an investment in the Series may not be appropriate for all
investors.
    

   
The Series may use  the following various  investment strategies and  techniques
when  the Portfolio Manager determines that such use is appropriate in an effort
to meet the Series' investment  objective: short sales of securities;  investing
in  securities  of  foreign issuers,  including  foreign  government securities;
engaging in  futures contracts,  including purchasing  and selling  stock  index
futures  contracts and interest  rate futures contracts;  purchasing and selling
options on  securities; purchasing  options on  stock index  futures  contracts,
interest  rate  futures  contracts,  and  foreign  currency  futures  contracts;
entering into foreign currency transactions  and options on foreign  currencies;
entering  into  repurchase  agreements and  reverse  repurchase  agreements; and
lending portfolio securities to brokers, dealers, bankers, and other  recognized
institutional borrowers of securities.
    

LIQUID ASSET SERIES

The  investment objective of the Liquid Asset  Series is to achieve a high level
of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. The
Portfolio Manager for the Series is Bankers Trust Company.

In managing the Series, the Portfolio  Manager employs a number of  professional
money  management techniques,  including varying the  composition of investments
and the average  maturity of the  portfolio based upon  the Portfolio  Manager's
assessment  of the  relative values of  the various money  market securities and
future interest  rate patterns.  These assessments  will change  in response  to
changing  economic  and money  market  conditions and  to  shifts in  fiscal and
monetary policy. The  Portfolio Manager also  seeks to improve  yield by  taking
advantage  of yield disparities  that regularly occur in  the money markets. For
example, market conditions  frequently result in  similar securities trading  at
different  prices. Also, there  are frequently differences  in the yield between
the various types of money market securities. The Series seeks to enhance  yield
by purchasing and selling securities based upon these yield disparities.

The Series invests in one or more of the following:

(i)  U.S. Government  Securities.   Obligations of  the U.S.  Government and its
    agencies and instrumentalities maturing in 13  months or less from the  date
    of  acquisition or purchased pursuant  to repurchase agreements that provide
    for repurchase by the seller within 13 months from the date of acquisition;

(ii) Bank  Obligations.   Obligations  of  commercial banks  (including  foreign
    branches),  savings and loan associations, and foreign banks with maturities
    not exceeding 13 months. Such obligations include negotiable certificates of
    deposit, variable rate certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances,  fixed
    time  deposits, and commercial paper. Bank money market instruments in which
    the Series may invest must be  issued by depository institutions with  total
    assets  of at least $1 billion, except that up to 10% of total assets may be
    invested  in  certificates  of  deposit  of  smaller  institutions  if  such
    certificates  of deposit are federally  insured. Fixed time deposits, unlike
    negotiable certificates

                                       26
<PAGE>
 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    of deposit, generally do not have a  market and may be subject to  penalties
    for early withdrawal of funds;

(iii)  Commercial Paper.  Short-term  unsecured promissory notes with maturities
    not exceeding nine months issued in  bearer form by bank holding  companies,
    corporations, and finance companies; and

(iv)  Short-Term Corporate  Debt Securities.   Corporate  debt securities (other
    than commercial paper) maturing in 13 months or less.

The Series may invest only in  U.S. dollar denominated money market  instruments
that  present minimal credit risk and, with respect to at least 95% of its total
assets, measured at the time of investment, that are of the highest quality. The
Portfolio Manager shall  determine whether  a security  presents minimal  credit
risk  under procedures adopted by the Trust's  Board of Trustees. A money market
instrument will be considered to be  highest quality under standards adopted  by
the  Board of  Trustees and consistent  with applicable  Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") rules relating to money market funds. With respect to no more
than 5% of its total assets, measured at the time of investment, the Series  may
also  invest in money  market instruments that are  in the second-highest rating
category for  short-term debt  obligations. A  money market  instrument will  be
considered  to  be in  the second-highest  rating  category under  the standards
described above.

The Series may not invest more than 5% of its total assets, measured at the time
of investment, in securities of any one issuer that are of the highest  quality,
except  that this limitation  shall not apply to  U.S. Government securities and
repurchase agreements thereon. The Series may  not invest more than the  greater
of  1% of its total assets or $1,000,000, measured at the time of investment, in
securities of any  one issuer that  are in the  second-highest rating  category,
except  that this limitation  shall not apply to  U.S. Government securities. In
the event that an instrument acquired  by the Series is downgraded or  otherwise
ceases  to be  of the  quality that  is eligible  for the  Series, the Portfolio
Manager, under procedures  approved by the  Board of Trustees  (or the Board  of
Trustees  itself if the  Portfolio Manager becomes aware  an unrated security is
downgraded below high quality and the Portfolio Manager does not dispose of  the
security  or  such security  does not  mature within  five business  days) shall
promptly reassess  whether  such  security  presents  minimal  credit  risk  and
determine whether or not to retain the instrument.

From  time to time, in the ordinary  course of business, the Series may purchase
securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. The Series may also enter
into repurchase  agreements  and may  borrow  under certain  circumstances.  See
"Description  of Securities and Investment Techniques" for descriptions of these
techniques.

The Series seeks to maintain a net  asset value of $1.00 per share for  purposes
of  purchases and redemptions; however,  there can be no  assurance that the net
asset value will not  vary. The Series  will be affected  by general changes  in
interest  rates  resulting  in  increases  or  decreases  in  the  value  of the
obligations held by the Series.

 MANAGEMENT OF THE TRUST (CONTINUED)
As of December  31, 1994,  Bankers Trust New  York Corporation  was the  seventh
largest  bank holding company in the U.S. with total assets of approximately $98
billion. Bankers Trust Company conducts a  variety of general banking and  trust
activities  and is  a leading  wholesale supplier  of financial  services to the
domestic and international markets.

United States banking laws and regulations, including the Glass-Steagall Act  as
currently  interpreted by the  Board of Governors of  the Federal Reserve System
(the "Board"), prohibit a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding
Company Act  of 1956,  or any  affiliate thereof,  from sponsoring,  organizing,
controlling,  or  distributing the  shares of  a registered  open-end investment
company, such as the Trust, continuously  engaged in the issuance of its  shares
and,  except  as  otherwise  provided  by order  of  the  Board,  prohibit banks
generally from issuing,  underwriting, selling or  distributing securities.  The
same  laws and regulations generally  permit a bank or  bank affiliate to act as
investment adviser,  transfer,  dividend disbursing  and  shareholder  servicing
agent  and custodian  to an  investment company and  to purchase  such shares as
agent for and upon the order of a customer.

DSI performs the activities described above  in this Prospectus and below  under
the  caption "Distributor." On September 30,  1992, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Bankers Trust Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Golden
American and DSI, and related assets,  in a transaction involving settlement  of
pre-existing claims of Bankers Trust Company against the former parent of Golden
American  and DSI. Under applicable banking law, stock so acquired is subject to
various divestiture requirements. While Bankers  Trust Company has no  immediate
intent to divest its ownership of the stock of DSI, such a divestiture may occur
in   the  future.   In  addition,   judicial  or   administrative  decisions  or
interpretations, as well  as changes  in either  U.S. Federal  or state  banking
statutes  or regulations, could prevent Bankers Trust Company from continuing to
own stock of DSI or prevent Bankers Trust Company or DSI from performing certain
of the activities contemplated by this Prospectus. In such event, changes in the
operation of the Series might occur. It is not expected, however, that the Trust
would suffer adverse financial consequences as a result of such occurrence.

Under the Management Agreement, DSI  has overall responsibility, subject to  the
supervision  of the Board  of Trustees, for engaging  portfolio managers and for
monitoring and evaluating  the management of  the assets of  each Series by  the
Portfolio   Managers.  The  Manager  is  also  responsible  for  monitoring  and
evaluating the Portfolio Managers on a  periodic basis, and will consider  their
performance  records with respect  to the investment  objectives and policies of
each Series.  The  Manager may,  if  appropriate, recommend  that  the  Trustees
consider a change in the Portfolio Manager, although the Manager does not expect
to  recommend frequent  changes in Portfolio  Managers as a  matter of operating
procedure for the Series.

As Manager,  DSI is  responsible, subject  to the  supervision of  the Board  of
Trustees,  for  providing administrative  and other  services necessary  for the
ordinary operation of the Series in  addition to advisory services. The  Manager
provides  the overall business management  and administrative services necessary
for the Series' operation and provides or procures the services and  information
necessary  to the proper conduct  of the business of  the Series. The Manager is
responsible for providing or procuring,  at the Manager's expense, the  services
reasonably  necessary  for  the  ordinary  operation  of  the  Series, including
custodial,  administrative,  transfer  agency,  portfolio  accounting,  dividend
disbursing,  auditing, and  ordinary legal  services. The  Manager also  acts as
liaison among  the  various  service  providers to  the  Series,  including  the
custodian,  portfolio accounting  agent, Portfolio  Managers, and  the insurance
company or companies to which the Series offer their shares. The Manager is also
responsible for ensuring that the  Series operate in compliance with  applicable
legal requirements and for monitoring the Portfolio Managers for compliance with
requirements   under  applicable  law  and  with  the  investment  policies  and
restrictions of the Series. DSI does not bear the expense of brokerage fees  and
other transactional expenses for securities or other assets (which are generally
considered  part of the cost  for the assets), taxes (if  any) paid by a Series,
interest on  borrowing,  fees and  expenses  of the  independent  trustees,  and
extraordinary expenses, such as litigation or indemnification expenses.

Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager is authorized to exercise full
investment discretion and make all determinations with respect to the investment
of a Series' assets and the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for one or
more  Series in the  event that at any  time no Portfolio  Manager is engaged to
manage the  assets of  a  Series. The  Management  Agreement may  be  terminated
without  penalty by the vote of the Board of Trustees or the Shareholders of the
Series, or by  the Manager, upon  60 days' written  notice by the  Board or  the
Manager,  and will terminate automatically if assigned as that term is described
in the 1940 Act.

</TABLE>
    

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

   
As compensation for its services during the most recent fiscal year, the  Trust,
pursuant  to the Management  Agreement, paid the  Manager fees which represented
the following  percentage of  each Series'  average daily  net assets:  Multiple
Allocation Series -- 1.00%; Fully Managed Series -- 1.00%; Limited Maturity Bond
Series -- 0.60%; Natural Resources Series -- 1.00%; Real Estate Series -- 1.00%;
All-Growth  Series  --  1.00%;  Capital  Appreciation  Series  --  1.00%; Rising
Dividends Series -- 1.00%;  Emerging Markets Series --  1.50%; and Liquid  Asset
Series -- 0.60%. The Value Equity Series, Strategic Equity Series, and Small Cap
Series  had not  commenced operations as  of the  end of the  most recent fiscal
year. For more  information on the  Management Agreement, see  the Statement  of
Additional Information.
    

The Trust is distinct in that the expense structure of the Series is simpler and
more  predictable than most mutual funds. Many  of the ordinary expenses for the
Trust's Series, including custodial, administrative, transfer agency,  portfolio
accounting,  auditing,  and ordinary  legal expenses  are  paid by  the Manager;
whereas, most  mutual funds  pay  for these  expenses  directly from  their  own
assets.

THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS

The Trust and the Manager have entered into Portfolio Management Agreements with
each of the Portfolio Managers. Under these Agreements, the Portfolio Manager of
each  Series has  full investment discretion  and makes  all determinations with
respect to the  investment of  a Series'  assets and  the purchase  and sale  of
portfolio  securities and other investments. The Portfolio Management Agreements
may be terminated without penalty  by the vote of the  Board of Trustees or  the
Shareholders  of a Series,  by the Portfolio  Manager, or by  the Manager, on 60
days' written notice by any party  to a Portfolio Management Agreement and  will
terminate automatically if assigned as that term is described in the 1940 Act. A
description of each Portfolio Manager follows.

 DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES

The  following discussion  describes potential  risks associated  with different
types of securities and investment techniques used by the individual Series,  as
described in "Investment Objectives and Policies."

For  more  detailed  information  on these  investment  techniques,  as  well as
information on some types of securities in  which some or all of the Series  may
invest,  including information  on U.S.  Government securities,  debt securities
generally, variable and floating rate securities, reverse repurchase agreements,
lending portfolio securities,  warrants, other investment  companies, and  short
sales,  including short sales  against the box, see  the Statement of Additional
Information.

MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

All Series may invest in mortgage-backed securities.

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH SECURITIES
  Many mortgage-backed securities  are mortgage  pass-through securities,  which
  are  securities  representing  interests  in  "pools"  of  mortgages  in which
  payments  of  both  interest  and   principal  on  the  securities  are   made
  periodically,  in  effect  "passing  through" periodic  payments  made  by the
  individual borrowers  on the  residential mortgage  loans which  underlie  the
  securities  (net of fees paid to the issuer or guarantor of the securities and
  possibly others). Such instruments differ from typical bonds because principal
  is repaid monthly over the term of the loan rather than returned in a lump sum
  at maturity.  Timely  payment  of  principal and  interest  on  some  mortgage
  pass-through  securities may be guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the
  U.S. Government, as  in the case  of securities guaranteed  by the  Government
  National  Mortgage  Association,  or  "GNMA",  or  guaranteed  by  agencies or
  instrumentalities of  the  U.S.  Government,  as in  the  case  of  securities
  guaranteed  by  the  Federal  National Mortgage  Association  ("FNMA")  or the
  Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), which are supported only  by
  the  discretionary authority of  the U.S. Government  to purchase the agency's
  obligations and not by the full faith  and credit of the U.S. Government.  For
  more  information  on GNMA  certificates  and FNMA  and  FHLMC mortgage-backed
  obligations, see "Mortgage-Backed Securities"  in the Statement of  Additional
  Information.

OTHER MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES
  All   Series  other  than  the  Liquid  Asset,  Capital  Appreciation,  Rising
  Dividends, and Emerging Markets Series may purchase mortgage-backed securities
  issued by financial institutions  such as commercial  banks, savings and  loan
  associations,  mortgage banks, and securities broker-dealers (or affiliates of
  such institutions established to issue these securities) in the form of either
  collateralized mortgage obligations  ("CMOs") or  mortgage-backed bonds.  CMOs
  are  obligations  fully collateralized  directly or  indirectly  by a  pool of
  mortgages on which payments of principal and interest are dedicated to payment
  of principal and  interest on  the CMOs. Payments  are passed  through to  the
  holders, although not necessarily on a pro rata basis, on the same schedule as
  they are received. Mortgage-backed bonds are general obligations of the issuer
  fully  collateralized  directly  or indirectly  by  a pool  of  mortgages. The
  mortgages serve  as collateral  for the  issuer's payment  obligations on  the
  bonds  but interest  and principal  payments on  the mortgages  are not passed
  through either  directly  (as  with  GNMA  certificates  and  FNMA  and  FHLMC
  pass-through securities) or on a modified basis (as with CMOs). Accordingly, a
  change  in the rate of  prepayments on the pool  of mortgages could change the
  effective maturity of a CMO but not that of a mortgage-backed bond  (although,
  like  many bonds, mortgage-backed bonds can  provide that they are callable by
  the issuer  prior  to  maturity).  Although  the  mortgage-related  securities
  securing  these obligations may be subject to a government guarantee or third-
  party support, the obligation itself is  not so guaranteed. Therefore, if  the
  collateral  securing the  obligation is  insufficient to  make payment  on the
  obligation, a holder could sustain a loss.

RISKS OF MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES
  Although mortgage  loans  constituting a  pool  of mortgages,  such  as  those
  underlying  GNMA  certificates, may  have maturities  of up  to 30  years, the
  actual  average  life  of  a   mortgage-backed  security  typically  will   be
  substantially  less because the mortgages will  be subject to normal principal
  amortization and may  be prepaid prior  to maturity. In  the case of  mortgage
  pass-through   securities  such  as  GNMA   certificates  or  FNMA  and  FHLMC
  mortgage-backed obligations,  or  modified  pass-through  securities  such  as
  collateralized  mortgage obligations issued by various financial institutions,
  early repayment  of principal  arising from  prepayments of  principal on  the
  underlying  mortgage loans  due to  the sale  of the  underlying property, the
  refinancing of the loan, or foreclosure may expose a Series to a lower rate of
  return upon reinvestment of  the principal. Prepayment  rates vary widely  and
  may  be affected by  changes in market  interest rates. In  periods of falling
  interest rates, the rate of  prepayment tends to increase, thereby  shortening
  the actual average life of the mortgage-backed security.

                                       35
<PAGE>
 DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES (CONTINUED)
  Conversely,  when interest rates  are rising, the rate  of prepayment tends to
  decrease, thereby lengthening the actual  average life of the  mortgage-backed
  security.  Accordingly, it is  not possible to  accurately predict the average
  life of a particular pool. Reinvestment of prepayments may occur at higher  or
  lower rates than the original yield on the certificates. Therefore, the actual
  maturity   and  realized  yield  on   pass-through  or  modified  pass-through
  mortgage-backed securities will vary based  upon the prepayment experience  of
  the underlying pool of mortgages.

  With  respect to  GNMA certificates,  although GNMA  guarantees timely payment
  even if homeowners delay or default, tracking the "pass-through" payments may,
  at times, be difficult. Expected payments may be delayed due to the delays  in
  registering  the newly traded  paper securities. The  custodian's policies for
  crediting missed payments  while errant  receipts are tracked  down may  vary.
  Other  mortgage-backed securities  such as  those of  FHLMC and  FNMA trade in
  book-entry form and are not subject to  this risk of delays in timely  payment
  of income.

OTHER ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES

Any  Series other than the Liquid Asset, Capital Appreciation, Rising Dividends,
and  Emerging  Markets  Series   may  purchase  other  asset-backed   securities
(unrelated  to mortgage loans) such  as "CARS-SM-" ("Certificates for Automobile
Receivables") and Credit Card Receivable  Securities and any other  asset-backed
securities  that may be developed in the future. See the Statement of Additional
Information for a description of these instruments.

HIGH YIELD BONDS

The Real  Estate Series  may  invest up  to  20% of  its  assets in  high  yield
convertible  bonds and the Fully Managed  Series and Emerging Markets Series may
invest up to  5% and 10%  of their  assets, respectively, in  high yield  bonds.
Generally,  high yield/high risk debt securities  are those rated lower than Baa
or BBB, or, if not rated by Moody's or S&P, of equivalent quality and which  are
commonly  referred to as  "junk bonds." Investment  in such securities generally
provides greater income and increased opportunity for capital appreciation  than
investments  in higher quality  debt securities, but  they also typically entail
greater potential price volatility and principal and income risk.

In general, high yield bonds are not considered to be investment grade. They are
regarded as  predominately speculative  with respect  to the  issuing  company's
continuing  ability to meet principal and  interest payments. The prices of high
yield bonds have been found to be  less sensitive to interest rate changes  than
higher-rated  investments, but more  sensitive to adverse  economic downturns or
individual corporate developments. A projection of an economic downturn or of  a
period  of rising  interest rates,  for example, could  cause a  decline in high
yield bond prices. In the case of high yield bonds structured as zero-coupon  or
pay-in-kind  securities, their market prices are affected to a greater extent by
interest rate changes, and  therefore tend to be  more volatile than  securities
which pay interest periodically and in cash.

The  secondary market  on which  high yield bonds  are traded  is generally less
liquid than the market for higher  grade bonds. Less liquidity in the  secondary
trading  market could adversely affect the price  at which a Series could sell a
high yield bond, and  could adversely affect  the daily net  asset value of  the
Series'  shares. At times of  less liquidity, it may  be more difficult to value
the high  yield bonds  because such  valuation may  require more  research,  and
elements  of judgment may play a greater  role in the valuation because there is
less reliable, objective data available.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

All Series may enter into repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements permit an
investor to maintain liquidity and earn income over periods of time as short  as
overnight. Repurchase agreements may be characterized as loans collateralized by
the  underlying securities. In these transactions, a Series purchases securities
such as U.S. Treasury obligations or U.S. Government securities (the "underlying
securities") from a broker  or bank, which agrees  to repurchase the  underlying
securities  on a certain  date or on demand  and at a  fixed price calculated to
produce a previously  agreed-upon return to  the Series. If  the broker or  bank
were  to default on its repurchase obligation and the underlying securities were
sold for  a lesser  amount,  the Series  would realize  a  loss, and  may  incur
disposition  costs in connection  with liquidating the  collateral. In the event
bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller, realization  of
the collateral by a Series may be delayed or limited, and a loss may be incurred
if the collateral securing the repurchase agreement declines in value during the
bankruptcy proceedings.

A  Series may  engage in repurchase  transactions in  accordance with guidelines
approved by the Board of

                                       36
<PAGE>
 DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES (CONTINUED)
Trustees of  the Trust,  which include  monitoring the  creditworthiness of  the
parties  with  which the  Series engages  in repurchase  transactions, obtaining
collateral at least equal in value to the repurchase obligation, and marking the
collateral to  market  on  a  daily  basis.  See  the  Statement  of  Additional
Information  "Description of  Securities and Investment  Techniques" for further
information regarding repurchase agreements.

RESTRICTED AND ILLIQUID SECURITIES

   
All Series except the Liquid  Asset, Capital Appreciation, and Rising  Dividends
Series  may invest in restricted securities such as private placements, although
a Series may not invest  in any restricted security  that is illiquid if,  after
its  acquisition, more than 10%  of the Series' assets  are invested in illiquid
securities, or, with respect  to the Emerging  Markets, Value Equity,  Strategic
Equity,  and Small Cap Series, more than  15% of the Series' assets are invested
in illiquid  securities. Restricted  securities may  be sold  only in  privately
negotiated   transactions,  in  a  public  offering  with  respect  to  which  a
registration statement is in effect  under the Securities Act  of 1933, or in  a
transaction  that  is  exempt  from  such  registration.  Where  registration is
required, a Series  may be  obligated to  pay all  or part  of the  registration
expenses  and a considerable period may elapse  between the time of the decision
to sell and the  time the Series may  be permitted to sell  a security under  an
effective  registration  statement. If,  during  such a  period,  adverse market
conditions were to develop, the Series might obtain a less favorable price  than
prevailed  when it decided to sell. Restricted  securities may be priced at fair
value as determined in good faith by the Series' Portfolio Manager.
    

SHORT SALES

   
The Multiple Allocation,  Natural Resources,  All-Growth, Capital  Appreciation,
Strategic  Equity, and Small  Cap Series may  make short sales  of securities. A
short sale is a transaction in which the Series sells a security it does not own
in anticipation of a  decline in market price.  The Multiple Allocation  Series'
Portfolio   Manager  expects  that,  even  during  normal  or  favorable  market
conditions, the Series may make short sales in an attempt to maintain  portfolio
flexibility  and facilitate the rapid implementation of investment strategies if
the Portfolio Manager believes that the price of a particular security or  group
of securities is likely to decline.
    

When  a Series makes a short sale, the  proceeds it receives are retained by the
broker until the Series replaces the borrowed security. In order to deliver  the
security  to the buyer, the  Series must arrange through  a broker to borrow the
security and, in so doing, the Series becomes obligated to replace the  security
borrowed at its market price at the time of replacement, whatever that price may
be. The Series may have to pay a premium to borrow the security. The Series must
also  pay any  dividends or  interest payable on  the security  until the Series
replaces the security.

The Series' obligation to replace the  security borrowed in connection with  the
short  sale will be secured by  collateral deposited with the broker, consisting
of cash or  U.S. Government  securities or  other securities  acceptable to  the
broker.  In addition,  with respect  to any short  sale, other  than short sales
against the box, the Series will be required to deposit collateral consisting of
cash, cash items, or U.S. Government securities in a segregated account with its
custodian in  an amount  such  that the  value of  the  sum of  both  collateral
deposits  is at all times equal to at  least 100% of the current market value of
the securities sold  short. The deposits  do not necessarily  limit the  Series'
potential  loss  on a  short sale,  which may  exceed the  entire amount  of the
collateral.

The Series may make a short sale only if, at the time the short sale is made and
after giving effect thereto,  the market value of  all securities sold short  is
25%  or less of the value  of its net assets and  the market value of securities
sold short  which are  not listed  on a  national securities  exchange does  not
exceed  10% of  the Series' net  assets. In  addition, the Series  will not make
short sales of the securities of any one issuer to the extent of more than 2% of
the Series' net assets, nor will the Series make short sales of more than 2%  of
the  outstanding  securities of  one  class of  any  issuer. The  Series  is not
required to liquidate an existing short sale position solely because a change in
market values  has caused  one or  more of  these percentage  limitations to  be
exceeded.  For more information on short  sales, see the Statement of Additional
Information.

FOREIGN SECURITIES

   
The Multiple Allocation,  Fully Managed, Natural  Resources, All-Growth,  Rising
Dividends,  Emerging  Markets, Value  Equity,  Strategic Equity,  and  Small Cap
Series may invest  in equity securities  of foreign issuers.  The Fully  Managed
Series may invest up to 20% of its net assets in such securities. The All-Growth
Series  may invest up to 10% of its  net assets in such securities. The Emerging
Markets Series will normally  invest at least  65% of its  net assets in  equity
securities  of foreign issuers. The Value Equity Series may invest without limit
in equity securities  of foreign  issuers; however,  it is  expected that  under
ordinary
    

                                       37

 DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES (CONTINUED)
   
circumstances, the Series will not invest more than 25% of its assets in foreign
issuers,  measured at  the time  of investment.  The Multiple  Allocation, Fully
Managed, Natural Resources, All-Growth, Capital Appreciation, Rising  Dividends,
Emerging  Markets,  Value Equity,  Strategic Equity,  and  Small Cap  Series may
invest in American  Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"),  European Depositary  Receipts
("EDRs")  and  Global  Depositary Receipts  ("GDRs")  (collectively, "Depositary
Receipts") which are described below. The Capital Appreciation Series may invest
up to 20% of its total assets in Depositary Receipts and the Value Equity Series
may invest without limit  in Depositary Receipts, although  it is expected  that
under  ordinary circumstances, the Series  will not invest more  than 25% of its
assets  in  foreign  issuers,   including  Depositary  Receipts.  The   Multiple
Allocation,  Limited Maturity  Bond, Liquid  Asset, Emerging  Markets, Strategic
Equity, and Small Cap  Series may invest in  foreign government securities  that
are  denominated  in U.S.  dollars,  although the  Multiple  Allocation, Limited
Maturity Bond, Liquid  Asset, Strategic Equity,  and Small Cap  Series will  not
purchase  foreign government securities  if, as a  result, more than  10% of the
value of its  total assets would  be invested in  such securities. The  Emerging
Markets  Series  may  also  invest  in  foreign  government  and  corporate debt
securities that are not  denominated in U.S.  dollars. The Multiple  Allocation,
Liquid Asset, Emerging Markets, Strategy Equity, and Small Cap Series may invest
in  foreign branches  of commercial  banks and  foreign banks.  See the "Banking
Industry and  Savings  Industry  Obligations" discussion  in  the  Statement  of
Additional Information for further description of these securities.
    

Each  Series  is  subject to  the  following guidelines  for  diversification of
foreign security investments. If  a Series has  less than 20%  of its assets  in
foreign  issuers, then all of  such investment may be  in issuers located in one
country. If a Series has at least 20% but less than 40% of its assets in foreign
issuers, then such investment must be  allocated to issuers located in at  least
two  different countries. Similarly, if a Series  has at least 40% but less than
60% of its assets in  foreign issuers, such investment  must be allocated in  at
least  three different  countries. Foreign investments  must be  allocated to at
least four different countries if at least 60% of a Series' assets is in foreign
issuers, and to at least five different countries if at least 80% is in  foreign
issuers.  For purposes  of allocating a  Series' investments, a  company will be
considered located in  the country  in which  it is  domiciled, in  which it  is
primarily  traded, from which it derives  a significant portion of its revenues,
or in which a significant portion of its goods or services are produced.

A Series may have no more than 20%  of its net assets invested in securities  of
issuers  located in any one country, except that a Series may have an additional
15% of its net assets  invested in securities of issuers  located in any one  of
the  following countries: Australia, Canada,  France, Japan, the United Kingdom,
or Germany. In addition, the  Natural Resources Series may  invest up to 35%  of
its  net assets  in securities  of issuers  located in  South Africa.  A Series'
investments in United  States issuers  are not  subject to  the foreign  country
diversification guidelines.

Investments  in foreign securities offer potential benefits not available solely
in securities  of domestic  issuers by  offering the  opportunity to  invest  in
foreign  issuers that appear to offer  growth potential, or in foreign countries
with economic policies  or business cycles  different from those  of the  United
States,  or to  reduce fluctuations  in portfolio  value by  taking advantage of
foreign stock markets that may  not move in a  manner parallel to U.S.  markets.
Investments   in  securities  of  foreign  issuers  involve  certain  risks  not
ordinarily associated with investments in  securities of domestic issuers.  Such
risks  include  fluctuations in  foreign  exchange rates,  future  political and
economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other
foreign governmental laws or restrictions. Since each of these Series may invest
in securities denominated or  quoted in currencies other  than the U.S.  dollar,
changes  in foreign currency exchange rates  will affect the value of securities
in the portfolio and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation of  investments
so  far as U.S.  investors are concerned.  In addition, with  respect to certain
countries, there is  the possibility  of expropriation  of assets,  confiscatory
taxation, other foreign taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic
developments that could adversely affect investments in those countries.

There  may be less  publicly available information about  a foreign company than
about a U.S. company,  and foreign companies may  not be subject to  accounting,
auditing, and financial reporting standards and requirements comparable to or as
uniform as those of U.S. companies. Foreign securities markets, while growing in
volume,  have, for the  most part, substantially less  volume than U.S. markets.
Securities of  many foreign  companies are  less liquid  and their  prices  more
volatile  than securities of  comparable U.S. companies.  Transactional costs in
non-U.S. securities  markets  are  generally  higher  than  in  U.S.  securities

                                       38

 DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES (CONTINUED)
markets.  There  is  generally  less government  supervision  and  regulation of
exchanges, brokers, and issuers than  there is in the  U.S. A Series might  have
greater  difficulty  taking appropriate  legal  action with  respect  to foreign
investments in non-U.S.  courts than with  respect to domestic  issuers in  U.S.
courts. In addition, transactions in foreign securities may involve greater time
from  the trade date until settlement  than domestic securities transactions and
involve the  risk  of possible  losses  through  the holding  of  securities  by
custodians and securities depositories in foreign countries.

The Emerging Markets Series may invest in debt obligations ("sovereign debt") of
governmental  issuers in emerging market countries and industrialized countries.
The sovereign debt issued or guaranteed by certain emerging market  governmental
entities  and  corporate  issuers in  which  the Series  may  invest potentially
involves a high  degree of risk  and may be  deemed the equivalent  in terms  of
quality  to high risk, low rated securities (I.E., high yield bonds) and subject
to many of the  same risks as  such securities. Similarly,  the Series may  have
difficulty disposing of certain of these debt obligations because there may be a
thin  trading market  for such  securities. In  the event  a governmental issuer
defaults on its obligations, the Series may have limited legal recourse  against
the issuer or guarantor, if any. Remedies must, in some cases, be pursued in the
courts  of the defaulting party itself, and the ability of the holder of foreign
government debt securities to  obtain recourse may be  subject to the  political
climate  in the relevant country. The  issuers of the government debt securities
in which  the  Series  may  invest have  in  the  past  experienced  substantial
difficulties  in servicing  their external  debt obligations,  which has  led to
defaults on certain obligations and  the restructuring of certain  indebtedness.
See "Description of Securities and Investment Techniques -- High Yield Bonds" in
this  Prospectus and  "Debt Securities  -- Sovereign  Debt" in  the Statement of
Additional Information.

Dividend and interest income from foreign securities may generally be subject to
withholding taxes by the country in which  the issuer is located and may not  be
recoverable by a Series or its investors.

ADRs  are Depositary Receipts typically  issued by a U.S.  bank or trust company
which  evidence  ownership  of  underlying   securities  issued  by  a   foreign
corporation.  EDRs  and GDRs  are  typically issued  by  foreign banks  or trust
companies, although they also  may be issued by  U.S. banks or trust  companies,
and  evidence ownership of  underlying securities issued by  either a foreign or
U.S. corporation. Generally, Depositary Receipts in registered form are designed
for use in the U.S. securities market and Depositary Receipts in bearer form are
designed for use  in securities  markets outside the  United States.  Depositary
Receipts  may  not  necessarily  be  denominated in  the  same  currency  as the
underlying securities into which they may be converted. In addition, the issuers
of the securities underlying unsponsored  Depositary Receipts are not  obligated
to  disclose material information in the United States and, therefore, there may
be less information  available regarding  such issuers and  there may  not be  a
correlation  between such  information and  the market  value of  the Depositary
Receipts. Depositary Receipts  also involve  the risks of  other investments  in
foreign securities.

INVESTMENT IN GOLD AND
OTHER PRECIOUS METALS

The  Natural Resources Series may  invest up to 10% of  its total assets in gold
bullion and coins and other precious metals (silver or platinum) bullion and  in
futures  contracts  with respect  to such  metals.  The Multiple  Allocation and
Strategic Equity Series may engage in gold futures contracts. (See "Gold Futures
Contracts" for further explanation of this investment technique.) The Series may
further restrict the level  of their metal investments  in order to comply  with
applicable   regulatory  requirements.  In  order  to  qualify  as  a  regulated
investment company under Subchapter M of  the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,  as
amended (the "Code"), each Series intends to manage its metal investments and/or
futures  contracts on metals  so that less than  10% of the  gross income of the
Series for tax purposes during any  fiscal year (the current limit on  so-called
non-qualifying income) is derived from these and other sources that produce such
non-qualifying income.

Metals  will not be  purchased in any  form that is  not readily marketable, and
gold coins will be  purchased for their intrinsic  value only, I.E., coins  will
not  be purchased for their numismatic value. Any metals purchased by the Series
will be  delivered  to  and  stored  with  a  qualified  custodian  bank.  Metal
investments do not generate interest or dividend income.

Metal  investments  are  considered  speculative  and  are  affected  by various
worldwide economic,  financial,  and  political factors.  Prices  may  fluctuate
sharply  over short  time periods  due to  changes in  inflation expectations in
various countries, metal sales by central banks of governments or  international
agencies,   speculation,  changes  in  industrial  and  commercial  demand,  and
governmental prohibitions or restriction

                                       39

 DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES (CONTINUED)
on the private ownership of certain precious metals or minerals. Furthermore, at
the present time, there are four  major producers of gold bullion: the  Republic
of  South  Africa,  the  United States,  Canada,  and  Australia.  Political and
economic conditions in these countries will  have a direct effect on the  mining
and  distribution of gold and,  consequently, on its price.  Many of these risks
also may  affect the  value of  securities of  companies engaged  in  operations
respecting gold and other precious metals.

FUTURES CONTRACTS

   
The   Multiple  Allocation,  Fully  Managed,   Limited  Maturity  Bond,  Natural
Resources, All-Growth,  Capital Appreciation,  Emerging Markets,  Value  Equity,
Strategic  Equity, and  Small Cap  Series may  engage in  futures contracts. The
Multiple Allocation, Limited Maturity Bond, Natural Resources, Emerging Markets,
Value Equity,  Strategic Equity,  and Small  Cap Series  may purchase  and  sell
interest  rate futures contracts.  The Limited Maturity  Bond, Emerging Markets,
and Value Equity  Series may  also purchase and  write options  on such  futures
contracts  and the Small  Cap Series may  only purchase options  on such futures
contracts.  The   Multiple  Allocation,   Fully  Managed,   Natural   Resources,
All-Growth,  Capital  Appreciation,  Emerging Markets,  Value  Equity, Strategic
Equity, and Small Cap Series may purchase and sell stock index futures contracts
and futures  contracts  based upon  other  financial instruments,  and  purchase
options  on  such contracts.  The  Multiple Allocation,  Natural  Resources, and
Strategic Equity Series may also engage in gold and other futures contracts. The
Fully Managed Series  will not  write options on  any futures  contracts. For  a
general  description of these  futures contracts and  options thereon, including
information on margin requirements, see the Statement of Additional Information.
    

These Series may  engage in  such futures transactions  as an  adjunct to  their
securities  activities. The  transactions in  futures contracts  must constitute
bona fide  hedging or  other  strategies under  regulations promulgated  by  the
Commodities  Futures  Trading  Commission  (the "CFTC"),  under  which  a Series
engaging in futures transactions would not be a "commodity pool."

At the time  a Series  purchases a  futures contract,  an amount  of cash,  U.S.
Government  securities, or  money market  instruments equal  to the  fair market
value less  initial  and  variation  margin of  the  futures  contract  will  be
deposited  in a segregated  account with the  Trust's custodian to collateralize
the position  and thereby  ensure  that such  futures  contract is  covered.  In
addition,  each  Series will  comply  with certain  regulations  of the  CFTC to
qualify for an exclusion from being  a "commodity pool," which require a  Series
to set aside cash and short-term obligations with respect to long positions in a
futures  contract or a  futures option. These requirements  are described in the
Statement of Additional Information.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH
FUTURES AND FUTURES OPTIONS
  There are  several  risks associated  with  the  use of  futures  and  futures
  options.  The  value  of  a  futures contract  may  decline.  While  a Series'
  transactions in futures may  protect the Series  against adverse movements  in
  the  general  level  of  interest rates  or  other  economic  conditions, such
  transactions could also preclude  the Series from  the opportunity to  benefit
  from  favorable movements  in the  level of  interest rates  or other economic
  conditions. With  respect  to  transactions  for  hedging,  there  can  be  no
  guarantee  that  there  will be  correlation  between price  movements  in the
  hedging vehicle and  in the  portfolio securities being  hedged. An  incorrect
  correlation  could result in a loss on  both the hedged securities in a Series
  and the hedging vehicle so that the  Series' return might have been better  if
  hedging  had not  been attempted.  The degree  of imperfection  of correlation
  depends on circumstances such as  variations in speculative market demand  for
  futures  and futures options on  securities, including technical influences in
  futures trading and  futures options,  and differences  between the  financial
  instruments being hedged and the instruments underlying the standard contracts
  available  for trading in  such respects as  interest rate levels, maturities,
  and creditworthiness of issuers.  A decision as to  whether, when, and how  to
  hedge  involves the exercise  of skill and judgment  and even a well-conceived
  hedge may  be  unsuccessful to  some  degree  because of  market  behavior  or
  unexpected interest rate trends.

  There  can be no  assurance that a liquid  market will exist at  a time when a
  Series seeks to  close out a  futures contract or  a futures option  position.
  Most  futures exchanges  and boards of  trade limit the  amount of fluctuation
  permitted in futures contract prices during a single day; once the daily limit
  has been reached on a particular contract, no trades may be made that day at a
  price beyond  that  limit.  In  addition, certain  of  these  instruments  are
  relatively  new and without a significant  trading history. As a result, there
  is no assurance that  an active secondary market  will develop or continue  to
  exist.  The  daily  limit governs  only  price movements  during  a particular
  trading day and therefore does not

                                       40
<PAGE>
 DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES (CONTINUED)
  limit potential losses because the limit  may work to prevent the  liquidation
  of  unfavorable positions. For example, futures prices have occasionally moved
  to the daily  limit for  several consecutive trading  days with  little or  no
  trading,  thereby preventing  prompt liquidation  of positions  and subjecting
  some holders of  futures contracts  to substantial  losses. Lack  of a  liquid
  market  for any reason may prevent  the Series from liquidating an unfavorable
  position and the Series would remain obligated to meet margin requirements and
  continue to incur losses until the position is closed.

  Any Series,  other than  the  Emerging Market  Series,  will only  enter  into
  futures  contracts or futures  options which are standardized  and traded on a
  U.S. exchange or board of trade, or, in the case of futures options, for which
  an established over-the-counter market exists. A Series will not enter into  a
  futures  contract or purchase  a futures option  if immediately thereafter the
  initial margin deposits for futures contracts held by the Series plus premiums
  paid by it for open  futures options positions, less  the amount by which  any
  such  positions  are  "in-the-money," would  exceed  5% of  the  Series' total
  assets.

  The Emerging Markets  Series may engage  in futures contracts  and options  on
  futures contracts not only on U.S. domestic markets, but also on exchanges and
  other  markets  outside  of  the  United  States.  Foreign  markets  may offer
  advantages such as  trading in indices  that are not  currently traded in  the
  United  States. Foreign markets, however, may have greater risk potential than
  domestic markets. Unlike trading on  domestic commodity exchanges, trading  on
  foreign  commodity markets is not regulated by  the CFTC and may be subject to
  greater risk than  trading on  domestic exchanges. For  example, some  foreign
  exchanges are principal markets so that no common clearing facility exists and
  a  trader may look only to the broker for performance of the contract. Trading
  in foreign futures or foreign options contracts may not be afforded certain of
  the protective measures  provided by  the Commodity Exchange  Act, the  CFTC's
  regulations,  and  the  rules  of the  National  Futures  Association  and any
  domestic exchange, including the right  to use reparations proceedings  before
  the  CFTC  and  arbitration  proceedings  provided  by  the  National  Futures
  Association or any  domestic futures  exchange. Amounts  received for  foreign
  futures  or  foreign  options  transactions  may  not  be  provided  the  same
  protections as  funds received  in respect  of transactions  on United  States
  futures exchanges. In addition, the Emerging Markets Series could incur losses
  or  lose any profits that  had been realized in  trading by adverse changes in
  the exchange rate  of the currency  in which the  transaction is  denominated.
  Transactions on foreign exchanges may include both commodities that are traded
  on domestic exchanges and boards of trade and those that are not.

  The  Trust reserves the right to engage in other types of futures transactions
  in the future and to  use futures and related  options for other than  hedging
  purposes to the extent permitted by regulatory authorities.

OPTIONS ON SECURITIES

   
The  following Series may  engage in transactions on  options on securities: the
Multiple  Allocation,  the  Fully   Managed,  Limited  Maturity  Bond,   Natural
Resources,  Real  Estate,  All-Growth, Capital  Appreciation,  Emerging Markets,
Value Equity, Strategic Equity, and  Small Cap Series. The Multiple  Allocation,
Fully Managed, All-Growth, Capital Appreciation, Emerging Markets, Value Equity,
and  Small Cap Series may purchase and  write put and call options on securities
and on  stock indexes  at such  times  as the  Series' Portfolio  Manager  deems
appropriate  and consistent with  the Series' investment  objective. The Natural
Resources and Real Estate Series may purchase and write put and call options  on
securities.  These  Series will  write call  and  put options  only if  they are
covered or  secured,  and  may  purchase  or  sell  options  to  effect  closing
transactions.  The Strategic  Equity Series  may buy  covered listed  put equity
options and sell covered listed call equity options, including options on  stock
indices.  The Multiple  Allocation Series will  not purchase listed  put or call
options if, immediately  after such  purchase, the  premiums paid  for all  such
options  owned at that time would exceed 2% of the Series' net assets. The Fully
Managed, All-Growth, Capital  Appreciation, and  Value Equity  Series may  write
covered call or put options with respect to not more than 25% of its net assets,
may  purchase protective puts with a  value of up to 25%  of its net assets, and
may purchase calls and puts other than protective puts with a value of up to  5%
of  the Series' net  assets. The Emerging  Markets Series may  engage in options
transactions not only on U.S. domestic  markets but also on exchanges and  other
markets outside the United States.
    

The Limited Maturity Bond Series may write covered call options and purchase put
options, and purchase call and write put options to close out options previously
written by the Series. The Series may engage in

                                       41
<PAGE>
 DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES (CONTINUED)
options  transactions to reduce  the effect of  price fluctuations of securities
owned by the Series (and involved in the options) on the Series' net asset value
per share. This Series will purchase put options involving portfolio  securities
only  when the Portfolio Manager believes that a temporary defensive position is
desirable in  light  of market  conditions,  but does  not  desire to  sell  the
portfolio security.

Any  of these Series may  enter into closing transactions  in order to terminate
its obligations either  as a writer  or a purchaser  of an option  prior to  the
expiration  of the option.  For a general description  of purchasing and writing
options on securities  and securities  indexes, see "Options  on Securities  and
Securities Indexes" in the Statement of Additional Information.

RISKS OF OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS
  The  purchase and writing of options involves certain risks. During the option
  period, the covered call writer has, in return for the premium on the  option,
  given  up the opportunity  to profit from  a price increase  in the underlying
  securities above  the exercise  price, but,  as long  as its  obligation as  a
  writer  continues,  has retained  the risk  of  loss should  the price  of the
  underlying security decline. The writer of  an option has no control over  the
  time  when it  may be required  to fulfill its  obligation as a  writer of the
  option. Once  an option  writer has  received an  exercise notice,  it  cannot
  effect  a closing  purchase transaction in  order to  terminate its obligation
  under the option and  must deliver the underlying  securities at the  exercise
  price. If a put or call option purchased by the Series is not sold when it has
  remaining  value, and if the  market price of the  underlying security, in the
  case of a put, remains equal to or greater than the exercise price or, in  the
  case  of a call, remains less than or  equal to the exercise price, the Series
  will lose its  entire investment  in the  option. Also,  where a  put or  call
  option  on a particular security is purchased to hedge against price movements
  in a related security, the  price of the put or  call option may move more  or
  less than the price of the related security.

  There  can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when a Series seeks
  to close  out an  option  position. Furthermore,  if trading  restrictions  or
  suspensions  are imposed  on the  options markets, a  Series may  be unable to
  close out a position. If a Series cannot effect a closing transaction, it will
  not be  able to  sell the  underlying security  while the  previously  written
  option  remains outstanding, even though it might otherwise be advantageous to
  do so. Possible  reasons for the  absence of  a liquid secondary  market on  a
  national  securities  exchange could  include: insufficient  trading interest,
  restrictions imposed  by  national  securities  exchanges,  trading  halts  or
  suspensions  with  respect to  call  options or  their  underlying securities,
  inadequacy of the facilities of  national securities exchanges or The  Options
  Clearing  Corporation  due to  a high  trading  volume or  other event,  and a
  decision by  one or  more  national securities  exchanges to  discontinue  the
  trading of call options or to impose restrictions on types of orders.

  Since  option premiums paid or received by a Series, as compared to underlying
  investments, are small in  relation to the market  value of such  investments,
  buying and selling put and call options offer large amounts of leverage. Thus,
  the  leverage offered by  trading in options  could result in  the Series' net
  asset value being  more sensitive to  changes in the  value of the  underlying
  securities.

  No  Series except  the Multiple  Allocation Series  will write  a covered call
  option or purchase a put option if, as a result, the aggregate market value of
  all portfolio  securities covering  call  options or  subject to  put  options
  exceeds  25% of the market  value of the Series'  net assets. Unless otherwise
  indicated above, as in the case of the Emerging Markets Series, a Series  will
  enter  only into options which are standardized  and traded on a U.S. exchange
  or board of trade, or for which an established over-the-counter market exists.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

   
The Multiple  Allocation, Fully  Managed, Natural  Resources, Emerging  Markets,
Rising Dividends, Value Equity, Strategic Equity, and Small Cap Series may enter
into forward currency contracts and enter into currency exchange transactions on
a  spot (I.E.,  cash) basis.  A forward  currency contract  is an  obligation to
purchase or sell a currency against another currency at a future date and  price
as  agreed upon by the  parties. A Series may either  accept or make delivery of
the currency at  the maturity  of the forward  contract or,  prior to  maturity,
enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting
contract.  A Series will engage in forward currency transactions in anticipation
of or to  protect itself  against fluctuations  in currency  exchange rates,  as
further described in the Statement of Additional Information. None of the Series
will  commit more than 15% of the total  assets of the Series computed at market
value at the time of commitment  to forward contracts for hedging purposes,  and
none will purchase and sell foreign currency as an investment.
    

                                       42
<PAGE>
 DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES (CONTINUED)

A  Series will not enter into a forward contract with a term of greater than one
year. At  the maturity  of a  forward contract,  a Series  may either  sell  the
portfolio  security and make delivery of the  foreign currency, or it may retain
the security and  terminate its  contractual obligation to  deliver the  foreign
currency  by purchasing an  "offsetting" contract with  the same currency trader
obligating it to purchase,  on the same  maturity date, the  same amount of  the
foreign currency. If the Series retains the portfolio security and engages in an
offsetting  transaction, the Series  will incur a  gain or a  loss to the extent
that there has been movement in forward contract prices. For more information on
closing a forward currency position, including information on associated  risks,
see the Statement of Additional Information.

Forward  contracts are not traded on  regulated commodities exchanges. There can
be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when a Series seeks to close out
a forward currency position, in which case a Series might not be able to  effect
a  closing purchase  transaction at any  particular time. In  addition, a Series
entering into a forward foreign currency contract incurs the risk of default  by
the counter party to the transaction.

While  forward foreign currency contracts tend to  minimize the risk of loss due
to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, at the same time, they tend to
limit any potential gain  which might result should  the value of such  currency
increase.

Although  the Series values its  assets daily in terms  of U.S. dollars, it does
not intend physically to  convert its holdings of  foreign currencies into  U.S.
dollars  on a daily basis. The Series may do so from time to time, and investors
should be aware of the costs  of currency conversion. Although foreign  exchange
dealers  do not charge a  fee for conversion, they do  realize a profit based on
the difference (the "spread")  between the prices at  which they are buying  and
selling  various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to sell a foreign currency
to the Series at one rate, while  offering a lesser rate of exchange should  the
Series desire to resell that currency to the dealer.

OPTIONS ON FOREIGN CURRENCIES

   
The  Multiple  Allocation, Natural  Resources,  Emerging Markets,  Value Equity,
Strategic Equity, and Small Cap Series may engage in transactions in options  on
foreign  currencies. The  Natural Resources  Series may invest  up to  5% of its
assets, taken at market value at the time of investment, in call and put options
on domestic and foreign securities and foreign currencies. For a description  of
options on securities, see "Options on Securities."
    

A  Series may  purchase call and  put options  on foreign currencies  as a hedge
against changes  in  the value  of  the U.S.  dollar  (or another  currency)  in
relation  to a foreign currency in which  portfolio securities of the Series may
be denominated. For a  general description and other  information on options  on
foreign  currencies, see  "Options on  Foreign Currencies"  in the  Statement of
Additional Information.  Hedging against  a change  in the  value of  a  foreign
currency  does not eliminate fluctuations in  the prices of portfolio securities
or prevent losses if  the prices of such  securities decline. Furthermore,  such
hedging transactions reduce or preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of
the hedged currency should change relative to the U.S. dollar. A Series will not
speculate  in options on foreign  currencies. A Series may  invest in options on
foreign currency which are  either listed on a  domestic securities exchange  or
traded on a recognized foreign exchange.

An  option  position may  be closed  out only  on an  exchange which  provides a
secondary market  for an  option of  the  same series.  Although a  Series  will
purchase  only  exchange-traded options,  there is  no  assurance that  a liquid
secondary market on an exchange will exist for any particular option, or at  any
particular time. In the event no liquid secondary market exists, it might not be
possible  to  effect closing  transactions in  particular  options. If  a Series
cannot close out an  exchange- traded option  which it holds,  it would have  to
exercise its option in order to realize any profit and would incur transactional
costs on the sale of the underlying assets.

BORROWING

Each  Series may borrow up to 10% of  the value of its net assets. For temporary
purposes,  such  as  to  facilitate  redemptions,  a  Series  may  increase  its
borrowings  up to 25% of  its net assets. Leveraging  by means of borrowing will
exaggerate the effect  of any  increase or decrease  in the  value of  portfolio
securities  on a  Series' net  asset value;  money borrowed  will be  subject to
interest and other costs (which may  include commitment fees and/or the cost  of
maintaining  minimum average balances),  which may or may  not exceed the income
received from the securities purchased with borrowed funds. The use of borrowing
tends to result in a faster than average movement, up or down, in the net  asset
value  of the Series' shares. A Series  also may be required to maintain minimum
average balances in  connection with such  borrowing or to  pay a commitment  or
other  fee to  maintain a  line of  credit; either  of these  requirements would
increase the cost of borrowing over the stated interest rate.

                                       43
<PAGE>
 DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES (CONTINUED)

   
Reverse repurchase agreements,  short sales  of securities, and  short sales  of
securities  against  the  box  will  be included  as  borrowing  subject  to the
borrowing limitations  described  above,  except that  the  Multiple  Allocation
Series,  Natural Resources  Series, Strategic Equity,  and Small  Cap Series are
permitted to engage in short sales  of securities with respect to an  additional
15%  of the Series' net  assets in excess of  the limits otherwise applicable to
borrowing. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis  will
not  be subject to the Series' borrowing limitations to the extent that a Series
establishes and maintains liquid assets in a segregated account with the Trust's
custodian equal  to the  Series' obligations  under the  when-issued or  delayed
delivery arrangement.
    

   
The  Multiple  Allocation,  Fully Managed,  Limited  Maturity  Bond, All-Growth,
Capital Appreciation, Strategic Equity, Small Cap, and Liquid Asset Series  may,
in  connection with  permissible borrowings,  transfer as  collateral securities
owned by the Series.
    

 INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The Series are  subject to  investment restrictions  that are  described in  the
Statement of Additional Information. Those investment restrictions so designated
and  the investment objective  of each Series are  "fundamental policies" of the
Series, which means that they may not be changed without a majority vote of  the
shareholders  of the affected Series. Except for those restrictions specifically
identified as  fundamental and  each Series's  investment objective,  all  other
investment policies and practices described in this Prospectus and the Statement
of  Additional  Information  are  not fundamental,  meaning  that  the  Board of
Trustees may change them without shareholder approval. The vote of a majority of
the outstanding voting securities of  a Series means the  vote, at an annual  or
special  meeting, of (a)  67% or more  of the voting  securities present at such
meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of
such Series are present  or represented by  proxy; or (b) more  than 50% of  the
outstanding voting securities of such Series, whichever is less.

The  investment restrictions are  stated in full in  the Statement of Additional
Information, and a brief description of some of them follows. A Series will not,
with respect to 75% of its assets, invest  more than 5% of its assets (taken  at
market  value at the time  of such investment) in  securities of any one issuer,
except that this  restriction does not  apply to U.S.  Government securities.  A
Series  will not, with respect to 75% of its assets, invest more than 10% (taken
at market value at the time of such investment) of any one issuer's  outstanding
voting  securities,  except  that  this  restriction  does  not  apply  to  U.S.
Government securities. No Series will concentrate more than 25% of its assets in
any particular industry, except that this restriction does not apply to (a) U.S.
Government  securities,  (b)  with  respect  to  the  Liquid  Asset  Series,  to
securities or obligations issued by U.S. banks, and (c) with respect to the Real
Estate  Series, which will normally invest more  than 25% of its total assets in
securities of issuers in the real estate and related industries, or with respect
to the Natural Resources Series, which will normally invest more than 25% of its
total assets in the group of industries engaged in natural resources activities,
provided that such concentration for these two Series is permitted under tax law
requirements for regulated investment companies that are investment vehicles for
variable contracts.

 PURCHASE OF SHARES

Shares of  the  Series may  be  offered for  purchase  by separate  accounts  of
insurance  companies to serve as an investment medium for the Variable Contracts
issued  by  the  insurance  companies  and  to  certain  qualified  pension  and
retirement  plans,  as permitted  under the  federal tax  rules relating  to the
Series serving  as investment  mediums  for Variable  Contracts. Shares  of  the
Series  are sold  to insurance company  separate accounts  funding both variable
annuity contracts  and variable  life insurance  contracts and  may be  sold  to
insurance  companies  that  are not  affiliated.  The Trust  currently  does not
foresee any disadvantages to Variable Contract Owners or other investors arising
from offering the Trust's shares to separate accounts of unaffiliated  insurers,
separate accounts funding both life insurance policies and annuity contracts, or
certain  qualified pension and retirement plans;  however, due to differences in
tax treatment or  other considerations,  it is theoretically  possible that  the
interests  of  owners  of  various contracts  or  pension  and  retirement plans
participating in the Trust might at some time be in conflict. However, the Board
of Trustees and insurance companies whose separate accounts invest in the  Trust
are  required  to monitor  events in  order to  identify any  material conflicts
between variable  annuity  contract  owners and  variable  life  policy  owners,
between separate accounts of unaffiliated insurers, and between various contract
owners  and pension and  retirement plans. The Board  of Trustees will determine
what action, if any, should be taken in the event of such a conflict. If such  a
conflict  were to occur,  one or more insurance  company separate accounts might

                                       44

 PURCHASE OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
withdraw their  investment in  the Trust.  This might  force the  Trust to  sell
securities at disadvantageous prices.

Shares  of each Series are sold at  their respective net asset values (without a
sales charge) next computed  after receipt of a  purchase order by an  insurance
company whose separate account invests in the Trust.

 NET ASSET VALUE

A  Series' net asset value  is determined by dividing  the value of each Series'
net assets by the number of  its shares outstanding. That determination is  made
once  each business day, Monday through Friday,  at or about 4:00 p.m., New York
City time, on each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. The
Board of Trustees  has established procedures  to value each  Series' assets  to
determine  net asset value. In general, these  valuations are based on actual or
estimated market value, with  special provisions for  assets not having  readily
available market quotations and short-term debt securities. The net asset values
per  share  of each  Series  will fluctuate  in  response to  changes  in market
conditions and other factors, except that the  net asset value of the shares  of
the  Liquid Asset  Series will  not fluctuate in  response to  changes in market
conditions for so  long as  the Series  is using  the amortized  cost method  of
valuation.

The  Liquid Asset  Series' portfolio securities  are valued  using the amortized
cost method of valuation. This involves valuing  a security at cost on the  date
of  acquisition and  thereafter assuming a  constant accretion of  a discount or
amortization  of  a  premium  to  maturity.  See  the  Statement  of  Additional
Information  for a description of certain  conditions and procedures followed by
the Series in connection with amortized cost valuation.

All other Series are valued as follows:

Portfolio securities  for  which market  quotations  are readily  available  are
stated at market value. Market value is determined on the basis of last reported
sales  price, or, if no sales are  reported, the mean between representative bid
and asked  quotations  obtained  from  a  quotation  reporting  system  or  from
established  market makers. In other cases,  securities are valued at their fair
value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees, although the  actual
calculations will be made by persons acting under the direction of the Board and
subject  to the  Board's review. Money  market instruments are  valued at market
value, except that  instruments maturing  in sixty days  or less  may be  valued
using the amortized cost method of valuation. The value of a foreign security is
determined in its national currency based upon the price on the foreign exchange
as  of  its  close of  business  immediately  preceding the  time  of valuation.
Securities traded  in over-the-counter  markets outside  the United  States  are
valued  at the last available price in  the over-the-counter market prior to the
time of valuation.

Debt  securities,  including  those  to  be  purchased  under  firm   commitment
agreements (other than obligations having a maturity sixty days or less at their
date of acquisition valued under the amortized cost method), are normally valued
on  the basis of quotes  obtained from brokers and  dealers or pricing services,
which take 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 having a
maturity of  sixty days  or less  may be  valued at  amortized cost  unless  the
Portfolio  Manager  believes that  amortized  cost does  not  approximate market
value.

When a Series writes a put or call option, the amount of the premium is included
in the Series' assets and  an equal amount is  included in its liabilities.  The
liability  thereafter is adjusted to the current market value of the option. The
premium paid for an option purchased by  the Series is recorded as an asset  and
subsequently  adjusted to  market value. Futures  and options  thereon which are
traded on  commodities exchanges  or boards  of trade  will be  valued at  their
closing  settlement price on such exchange or board of trade. Foreign securities
quoted in foreign  currencies generally are  valued at appropriately  translated
foreign market closing prices.

Trading  in securities on exchanges and over-the-counter markets in European and
Pacific Basin countries is  normally completed well before  4:00 p.m., New  York
City  time.  Trading on  these  exchanges may  not take  place  on all  New York
business days and in addition, trading takes place in various foreign markets on
days which are not business days in New York and on which the Trust's net  asset
value  is not calculated. As a result, the calculation of the net asset value of
a Series investing in  foreign securities may  not take place  contemporaneously
with  the  determination  of  the  prices  of  the  securities  included  in the
calculation. Further,  under  the  Trust's procedures,  the  prices  of  foreign
securities  are determined using  information derived from  pricing services and
other sources. Prices derived under these procedures will be used in determining
daily net asset value. Information that becomes known to the Trust or its agents
after the time

                                       45
<PAGE>
 REDEMPTION OF SHARES (CONTINUED)

that  the net asset value  is calculated on any business  day may be assessed in
determining net  asset  value  per  share  after the  time  of  receipt  of  the
information,  but will  not be  used to  retroactively adjust  the price  of the
security so determined earlier  or on a  prior day. Events  that may affect  the
value  of  these  securities  that  occur  between  the  time  their  prices are
determined and the time  the Series' net  asset value is  determined may not  be
reflected in the calculation of net asset value of the Series unless the Manager
or  the  Portfolio Manager,  acting under  authority delegated  by the  Board of
Trustees, deems  that the  particular event  would materially  affect net  asset
value.  In this event,  the securities would  be valued at  fair market value as
determined in good  faith by the  Board of  Trustees of the  Fund, although  the
actual  calculations will be made by the Manager or the Portfolio Manager acting
under the direction of the Board and subject to the Board's review.

 REDEMPTION OF SHARES

Shares of  any Series  may be  redeemed  on any  business day.  Redemptions  are
effected  at the per share net asset  value next determined after receipt of the
redemption request by an insurance company whose separate account invests in the
Series. Redemption proceeds normally  will be paid  within seven days  following
receipt of instructions in proper form. The right of redemption may be suspended
by  the Trust or the payment date postponed  beyond seven days when the New York
Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings)  or
for  any period during which trading  thereon is restricted because an emergency
exists, as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, making disposal
of   portfolio   securities    or   valuation   of    net   assets   not    rea-
sonably  practicable, and whenever the Securities and Exchange Commission has by
order  permitted  such  suspension  or   postponement  for  the  protection   of
shareholders.

If  the Board of Trustees  should determine that it  would be detrimental to the
best interests of the remaining shareholders of a Series to make payment  wholly
or partly in cash, the Series may pay the redemption price in whole or part by a
distribution  in kind of securities from the portfolio of the Series, in lieu of
cash, in  conformity  with  applicable  rules of  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.  If shares  are redeemed  in kind,  the redeeming  shareholder might
incur brokerage costs in converting the assets into cash.

 EXCHANGES

Shares of any one Series may be exchanged for shares of any of the other  Series
described in this Prospectus. Exchanges are treated as a redemption of shares of
one  Series and a purchase of shares of one  or more of the other Series and are
effected at the respective net asset values per share of each Series on the date
of the  exchange. The  Trust reserves  the right  to modify  or discontinue  its
exchange  privilege at any time without  notice. Variable Contract Owners do not
deal directly  with the  Trust  with respect  to  the purchase,  redemption,  or
exchange  of shares of  the Series, and  should refer to  the prospectus for the
applicable Variable Contract for  information on allocation  of premiums and  on
transfers  of account value  among divisions of  the pertinent insurance company
separate account that invest in the Series.

The Trust  reserves the  right to  discontinue offering  shares of  one or  more
Series  at any time. In the event that  a Series ceases offering its shares, any
investments allocated by an insurance company to such Series will be invested in
the Liquid Asset Series or any successor to such Series.

 PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

BROKERAGE SERVICES

Pursuant to the  Portfolio Management Agreements,  the Portfolio Manager  places
orders  for  the purchase  and  sale of  portfolio  investments for  the Series'
accounts with  brokers or  dealers  selected by  the  Portfolio Manager  in  its
discretion.  In executing  transactions, the  Portfolio Manager  will attempt to
obtain the best  execution for  a Series, taking  into account  such factors  as
price  (including the applicable brokerage commission or dollar spread), size of
order, the nature of the market for the security, the timing of the transaction,
the reputation,  the experience  and financial  stability of  the  broker-dealer
involved,  the quality  of the service,  the difficulty  of execution, execution
capabilities, and operational facilities of  the firms involved, and the  firm's
risk in positioning a block of securities. In transactions on stock exchanges in
the  United  States,  payments  of  brokerage  commissions  are  negotiated.  In
effecting purchases and sales  of portfolio securities  in transactions on  U.S.
stock  exchanges for  the account  of a  Series, the  Portfolio Manager  may pay
higher commission rates  than the  lowest available when  the Portfolio  Manager
believes   it  is  reasonable   to  do  so   in  light  of   the  value  of  the

                                       46
<PAGE>
 PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
brokerage  and  research   services  provided  by   the  broker  effecting   the
transaction.  In the case of securities  traded on some foreign stock exchanges,
brokerage commissions may be  fixed and the Portfolio  Manager may be unable  to
negotiate  commission rates  for these transactions.  In the  case of securities
traded on the over-the-counter markets, there is generally no stated commission,
but the price includes an undisclosed commission or markup.

Some securities considered for investment by the Series may also be  appropriate
for  other clients served by  the Portfolio Manager and/or  its affiliates. If a
purchase or sale  of securities  consistent with  the investment  policies of  a
Series  and one or more of these  clients served by the Portfolio Manager and/or
its affiliates is  considered at or  about the same  time, transactions in  such
securities  will be allocated  among the Series  and clients in  a manner deemed
fair and reasonable  by the  Portfolio Manager and/or  its affiliates.  Although
there  is no  specified formula  for allocating  such transactions,  the various
allocation methods  used by  the  Portfolio Manager,  and  the results  of  such
allocations,  are subject to periodic review by the Trust's Manager and Board of
Trustees.

The Portfolio  Manager for  a Series  may receive  research services  from  many
broker-dealers  with which  the Portfolio  Manager places  the Series' portfolio
transactions. These services,  which in  some cases  may also  be purchased  for
cash,  include such  matters as  general economic  and security  market reviews,
industry and company reviews, evaluations of securities, and recommendations  as
to  the purchase and sale of securities. Some  of these services may be of value
to the Portfolio  Manager and  its affiliates  in advising  its various  clients
(including  the  Series), although  not all  of  these services  are necessarily
useful and of value in managing a Series.

A Portfolio Manager  may place  orders for the  purchase and  sale of  portfolio
securities with itself, acting as broker-dealer, or with a broker-dealer that is
an affiliate of the Portfolio Manager or the Trust where, in the judgment of the
Portfolio  Manager, such firm  will be able  to obtain a  price and execution at
least as favorable as other qualified brokers.

   
Securities and Exchange Commission rules further require that commission paid to
such an affiliated broker-dealer  or Portfolio Manager by  a Series on  exchange
transactions   not  exceed  "usual  and  customary  brokerage  commissions."  BT
Brokerage Corporation, Watermark  Securities, Inc., Zweig  Securities Corp.,  KA
Associates, Inc., Counsellors Securities Inc., Raymond James & Associates, Inc.,
and Fred Alger & Company, Incorporated are registered broker-dealers and each is
affiliated  with  a  Portfolio  Manager. Certain  affiliates  of  Robert Fleming
Holdings Limited and Jardine Fleming Group Limited are broker-dealers affiliated
with T.  Rowe  Price.  Any  of  the  above  firms  may  retain  compensation  on
transactions effected for a Series in accordance with these rules and procedures
adopted by the Board of Trustees. During the Trust's fiscal years ended December
31,  1994, 1993, and 1992, the Fully Managed  Series paid to Weiss, Peck & Greer
(a broker-dealer affiliated with the Series' prior Portfolio Manager)  brokerage
commissions of $78,271 (50.0% of total brokerage commissions), $68,311 (57.3% of
total  brokerage commissions), and $33,597 (92% of total brokerage commissions).
During the fiscal  years ended December  31, 1994, 1993  and 1992, the  Multiple
Allocation  Series paid to  Watermark Securities, Inc.  brokerage commissions of
$51,764  (17.2%  of  total  brokerage  commissions),  $49,242  (18.6%  of  total
brokerage  commissions)  and  $8,977  (9% of  total  brokerage  commissions). In
addition, during the fiscal years ended  December 31, 1994 and 1993, the  Rising
Dividends  Series paid  to KA Associates,  Inc. brokerage  commissions of $2,330
(2.2% of  total brokerage  commissions) and  $20,641 (71.1%  of total  brokerage
commissions).
    

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

For  reporting purposes, each  Series' portfolio turnover  rate is calculated by
dividing the value of the lesser  of purchases or sales of portfolio  securities
for  the fiscal year by the monthly average of the value of portfolio securities
owned by  the Series  during  the fiscal  year.  In determining  such  portfolio
turnover,  all securities whose  maturities at the time  of acquisition were one
year or  less are  excluded. A  100% portfolio  turnover rate  would occur,  for
example,  if  all of  the  securities in  the  portfolio (other  than short-term
securities) were replaced once  during the fiscal  year. The portfolio  turnover
rate for each of the Series will vary from year to year, and depending on market
conditions,  turnover could be greater in periods of unusual market movement and
volatility. A higher turnover rate would result in heavier brokerage commissions
or other transactional expenses which must be borne, directly or indirectly,  by
a  Series and  ultimately by  the Series'  shareholders. The  portfolio turnover
rates for each Series are presented in the data shown in "Financial  Highlights"
in this Prospectus.

 DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Net investment income of the Liquid Asset Series is declared as a dividend daily
and paid monthly. For all

                                       47
<PAGE>
 DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS (CONTINUED)
other  Series,  net investment  income will  be paid  annually, except  that the
Limited Maturity Bond Series  may declare a dividend  monthly or quarterly.  Any
net  realized long-term capital gains (the excess of net long-term capital gains
over net short-term capital losses) for any Series will be declared and paid  at
least  once annually. Net realized short-term  capital gains may be declared and
paid more frequently.

Any distributions  made  by  any  Series will  be  automatically  reinvested  in
additional shares of that Series, unless an election is made by a shareholder to
receive distributions in cash. Dividends or distributions by a Series other than
the  Liquid Asset Series (which attempts to  maintain a constant $1.00 per share
net asset value)  will reduce the  per share net  asset value by  the per  share
amount so paid.

 FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

Each  Series intends to qualify each year and elect to be treated as a regulated
investment company  under  Subchapter  M  of the  Code.  Accordingly,  a  Series
generally  expects not to be  subject to federal income  tax if it meets certain
source of  income, diversification  of assets,  income distribution,  and  other
requirements, to the extent it distributes its investment company taxable income
and  its net capital  gains. Distributions of  investment company taxable income
and net realized capital gains are automatically reinvested in additional shares
of the  Series,  unless  an  election  is  made  by  a  shareholder  to  receive
distributions  in cash.  Tax consequences  to the  Variable Contract  Owners are
described in the prospectuses for the pertinent Separate Accounts.

Certain requirements relating to  the qualification of a  Series as a  regulated
investment company under the Code may limit the extent to which a Series will be
able  to  engage  in  transactions in  options,  futures  contracts,  or forward
contracts.

To comply  with  regulations under  Section  817(h)  of the  Code,  each  Series
generally will be required to diversify its investments, so that on the last day
of  each quarter of a calendar year, no more than 55% of the value of its 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.  For  this purpose,
securities of  a single  issuer are  treated  as one  investment and  each  U.S.
Government  agency  or  instrumentality is  treated  as a  separate  issuer. Any
security issued, guaranteed, or insured (to the extent so guaranteed or insured)
by the U.S. or an agency or instrumentality of the U.S. is treated as a security
issued by the  U.S. Government or  its agency or  instrumentality, whichever  is
applicable.  These regulations will limit the ability of a Series to invest more
than 55%  of  its assets  in  direct obligations  of  the U.S.  Treasury  or  in
obligations   which  are  deemed  to  be   issued  by  a  particular  agency  or
instrumentality  of  the  U.S.  Government.  If  a  Series  fails  to  meet  the
diversification  requirements under Code Section  817(h), income with respect to
Variable Contracts  invested in  the  Series at  any  time during  the  calendar
quarter  in which  the failure  occurred could  become currently  taxable to the
owners of such Variable Contracts and  income for prior periods with respect  to
such  Contracts also would be taxable, most likely in the year of the failure to
achieve the required diversification. Other adverse tax consequences also  could
ensue.  If a  Series failed  to qualify as  a regulated  investment company, the
results would be substantially the same as a failure to meet the diversification
requirements under Code Section 817(h).

In connection with  the issuance  of the  regulations governing  diversification
under  Section 817(h)  of the  Code, the  Treasury Department  announced that it
would issue future regulations or rulings addressing the circumstances in  which
a Variable Contract Owner's control of the investments of a separate account may
cause  the contract owner, rather  than the insurance company,  to be treated as
the owner of the assets held by  the separate account. If the Variable  Contract
Owner is considered the owner of the securities underlying the separate account,
income and gains produced by those securities would be included currently in the
Variable  Contract Owner's gross income. Although it is not known what standards
will be incorporated in future regulations or other pronouncements, the Treasury
staff has indicated informally that it is  concerned that there may be too  much
contract  owner control where the fund (or series) underlying a separate account
invests solely  in  securities  issued  by companies  in  a  specific  industry.
Similarly,  the  ability  of a  contract  owner  to select  a  fund  (or series)
representing a specific economic risk may also be proscribed.

These future rules and regulations proscribing investment control may  adversely
affect the ability of certain Series to operate as described in this Prospectus.
There  is, however,  no certainty  as to what  standards, if  any, Treasury will
ultimately adopt,  and there  can be  no  certainty that  the future  rules  and
regulations will not be given retroactive application.

 FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS (CONTINUED)

In  the event that unfavorable rules or regulations are adopted, there can be no
assurance that the Series will be able to operate as currently described in  the
Prospectus,  or that a Series will not have to change its investment objectives,
investment policies,  or investment  restrictions.  While a  Series'  investment
objective  is fundamental and may be changed only by a vote of a majority of its
outstanding  shares,  the  Trustees  have  reserved  the  right  to  modify  the
investment  policies of  a Series as  necessary to prevent  any such prospective
rules and regulations from causing the Variable Contract Owners to be considered
the owners of the Series underlying the Separate Accounts.

See "Taxation"  in the  Trust's  Statement of  Additional Information  for  more
information  on taxes,  including information  on the  taxation of distributions
from a Series. Reference is made to the prospectus or offering memorandum of the
applicable Separate Account  for information  regarding the  federal income  tax
treatment respecting a Variable Contract.

 OTHER INFORMATION

CAPITALIZATION

   
The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on August 3, 1988, and
currently consists of fifteen portfolios that are operational, thirteen of which
are  described in this Prospectus. Other portfolios may be offered by means of a
separate prospectus. The Board of  Trustees may establish additional  portfolios
in  the future. The capitalization of the  Trust consists solely of an unlimited
number of shares of beneficial  interest with a par  value of $0.001 each.  When
issued  in accordance with the terms of the Trust's Agreement and Declaration of
Trust ("Declaration  of Trust"),  shares of  the Trust  are fully  paid,  freely
transferable, and non-assessable by the Trust.
    

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

VOTING RIGHTS

Shareholders  of the Series are given certain  voting rights. Each share of each
Series will be given one vote, unless a different allocation of voting rights is
required under applicable law for a mutual fund that is an investment medium for
variable insurance products.

Massachusetts business  trust law  does not  require the  Trust to  hold  annual
shareholder  meetings, although  special meetings may  be called  for a specific
Series, or for the Trust as a  whole, for purposes such as electing or  removing
Trustees,  changing fundamental policies, or approving a contract for investment
advisory services. In the case of Variable Contracts, in accordance with current
laws, it is anticipated  that an insurance company  issuing a Variable  Contract
funded  by a Separate  Account that invests  in a Series  and that is registered
with the SEC as  a unit investment trust  will request voting instructions  from
Variable  Contract Owners and will vote shares  or other voting interests in the
separate account in proportion to the voting instructions received.

CHANCELLOR ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER

On October 18, 1994, Chancellor Capital Management, Inc. ("CCM"), the parent  of
Chancellor  Trust Company, Parag Saxena, one  of CCM's managing directors in his
capacity as a CCM employee  and who has no  involvement in managing the  Trust's
assets, and James A. Long, IV, in his capacity as CCM employee, consented to the
filing of an administrative order by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC")  without admitting or denying the  allegations or substance of the order.
SEE IN THE MATTER OF CHANCELLOR CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC., PARAG SAXENA AND JAMES
A. LONG, IV, Investment Advisers Act of 1940 Release No. 1447, October 18, 1994.

The SEC's order  alleges that,  during the  period October  1988 through  August
1992,  CCM and Messrs. Saxena and Long  did not adequately disclose the conflict
of interest arising from certain personal trades by Mr. Saxena and that CCM  did
not maintain all required records of Mr. Saxena's personal trades. Specifically,
the  SEC order  states that  (i) CCM  should have  disclosed that  its employees
purchased  privately  issued   securities  for  their   personal  accounts   and
subsequently  invested for  clients in  publicly traded  securities of  the same
issuers, and (ii) CCM and Mr.  Saxena should have disclosed, when investing  for
clients in

                                       49
<PAGE>
 OTHER INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
companies  founded by a venture capitalist that  over a year earlier, Mr. Saxena
had invested for his  own account, at  nominal prices, in  securities of two  of
those  companies and  a third  company founded  by the  venture capitalist after
providing advice to the  venture capitalist. The SEC  did not allege that  these
acts  were intended to harm CCM's clients and acknowledged that clients profited
from the transactions examined.

The order censured CCM and  Messrs. Saxena and Long  and ordered them to  comply
with certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act and fined Mr. Saxena.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

The  Trust may, from time to time, include  the yield and effective yield of its
Liquid Asset Series, the  current yield of the  remaining Series, and the  total
return  of all  Series in  advertisements and sales  literature. In  the case of
Variable  Contracts,  performance  information  for  the  Series  will  not   be
advertised  or  included in  sales literature  unless accompanied  by comparable
performance information for a separate account to which the Series offers  their
shares.

Current  yield for the Liquid Asset Series will be based on income received by a
hypothetical investment over a given 7-day period (less expenses accrued  during
the period), and then "annualized" (I.E., assuming that the 7-day yield would be
received  for 52 weeks,  stated in terms  of an annual  percentage return on the
investment). "Effective yield" for  the Liquid Asset Series  is calculated in  a
manner  similar to  that used to  calculate yield, but  reflects the compounding
effect of earnings on reinvested dividends.
For the  remaining  Series,  any  quotations  of yield  will  be  based  on  all
investment  income  per share  earned during  a  given 30-day  period (including
dividends  and  interest),  less  expenses  accrued  during  the  period   ("net
investment  income"), and will be computed  by dividing net investment income by
the maximum public offering price per share on the last day of the period.

Quotations of average annual  total return for any  Series will be expressed  in
terms  of  the  average  annual  compounded rate  of  return  on  a hypothetical
investment in the Series over a period of one, five, or ten years (or, if  less,
up  to the  life of the  Series), will  reflect the deduction  of a proportional
share of  Series  expenses  (on an  annual  basis),  and will  assume  that  all
dividends and distributions are reinvested when paid. Quotations of total return
may also be shown for other periods.

Quotations  of yield or total  return for the Series  will not take into account
charges or deductions against any separate  account to which the Series'  shares
are  sold or  charges and  deductions against  the pertinent  Variable Contract,
although comparable performance information for  the separate account will  take
such  charges into account. Performance information for any Series reflects only
the performance of a hypothetical investment in the Series during the particular

                                  INTRODUCTION

     This Statement of Additional Information is designed to elaborate upon
information contained in the Prospectuses for the Series, including the
discussion of certain securities and investment techniques. The more detailed
information contained herein is intended solely for investors who have read the
Prospectuses and are interested in a more detailed explanation of certain
aspects of some of the Series' securities and some investment techniques. Some
of the Series' investment techniques are described only in the Prospectuses and
are not repeated herein. Captions and defined terms in this Statement of
Additional Information generally correspond to like captions and terms in the
Series' Prospectuses.

               DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES

U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES

     All of the Series may invest in U.S. Government securities. U.S. Government
securities are obligations of, or are guaranteed by, the U.S. Government, its
agencies or instrumentalities. Treasury bills, notes, and bonds are direct
obligations of the U.S. Treasury. Securities guaranteed by the U.S. Government
include: federal agency obligations guaranteed as to principal and interest by
the U.S. Treasury (such as GNMA certificates, described in the section on
"Mortgage-Backed Securities," and Federal Housing Administration debentures). In
guaranteed securities, the payment of principal and interest is unconditionally
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, and thus they are of the highest credit
quality. Such direct obligations or guaranteed securities are subject to
variations in market value due to fluctuations in interest rates, but, if held
to maturity, the U.S. Government is obligated to or guarantees to pay them in
full.

     Securities issued by U.S. Government instrumentalities and certain federal
agencies are neither direct obligations of nor guaranteed by the Treasury.
However, they involve federal sponsorship in one way or another: some are backed
by specific types of collateral; some are supported by the issuer's right to
borrow from the Treasury; some are supported by the discretionary authority of
the Treasury to purchase certain obligations of the issuer; others are supported
only by the credit of the issuing government agency or instrumentality. These
agencies and instrumentalities include, but are not limited to, Federal Land
Banks, Farmers Home Administration, Federal National Mortgage Association
("FNMA"), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), Student Loan
Mortgage Association, Central Bank for Cooperatives, Federal Intermediate Credit
Banks, and Federal Home Loan Banks.

     All Series except the Market Manager Series may also purchase obligations
of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which, while
technically not a U.S. Government agency or instrumentality, has the right to
borrow from the participating countries, including the United States.

DEBT SECURITIES

   
     All Series may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated corporate debt securities
of domestic issuers and the Multiple Allocation, Fully Managed, Limited Maturity
Bond, Natural Resources, Liquid Asset, Capital Appreciation, Emerging Markets,
Strategic Equity, Small Cap, and Market Manager Series may invest in debt
securities of foreign issuers that are denominated in U.S. dollars. The
Multiple Allocation, Fully Managed, Natural Resources, Emerging Markets,
Strategic Equity

                                        1
<PAGE>

and Small Cap Series may invest in non-U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities
of foreign issuers. The debt securities in which the Series may invest are
limited to corporate debt securities (corporate bonds, debentures, notes, and
other similar corporate debt instruments) which meet the minimum ratings
criteria set forth for that particular Series, or, if not so rated, are, in the
Portfolio Manager's determination, comparable in quality to corporate debt
securities in which a Series may invest.
    

   
     Those Series that do not specify any particular ratings criteria, i.e., the
Multiple Allocation, Natural Resources, All-Growth, Strategic Equity and
Small Cap Series, may invest only in debt securities that are investment-grade,
i.e., rated BBB or better by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("Standard &
Poor's") and Baa or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or,
if not rated by Standard & Poor's or Moody's, of similar quality as determined
by the Portfolio Manager.
    

     The investment return on a corporate debt security reflects interest
earnings and changes in the market value of the security. The market value of
corporate debt obligations may be expected to rise and fall inversely with
interest rates generally. There also exists the risk that the issuers of the
securities may not be able to meet their obligations on interest or principal
payments at the time called for by an instrument. Bonds rated BBB or Baa, which
are considered medium-grade category bonds, do not have economic characteristics
that provide the high degree of security with respect to payment of principal
and interest associated with higher rated bonds, and generally have some
speculative characteristics. A bond will be placed in this rating category where
interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the present, but
economic characteristics that provide longer term protection may be lacking. Any
bond, and particularly those rated BBB or Baa, may be susceptible to changing
conditions, particularly to economic downturns, which could lead to a weakened
capacity to pay interest and principal.

     New issues of certain debt securities are often offered on a when-issued or
firm-commitment basis; that is, the payment obligation and the interest rate are
fixed at the time the buyer enters into the commitment, but delivery and payment
for the securities normally take place after the customary settlement time. The
value of when-issued securities or securities purchased on a firm-commitment
basis may vary prior to and after delivery depending on market conditions and
changes in interest rate levels. However, the Series will not accrue any income
on these securities prior to delivery. The Series will maintain in a segregated
account with its custodian an amount of cash or high quality debt securities
equal (on a daily marked-to-market basis) to the amount of its commitment to
purchase the when-issued securities or securities purchased on a firm-commitment
basis.

     Many securities of foreign issuers are not rated by Moody's or Standard and
Poor's; therefore, the selection of such issuers depends, to a large extent, on
the credit analysis performed or used by the Series' Portfolio Manager.

HIGH YIELD BONDS

     The Real Estate Series may invest up to 20% of its assets in convertible
bonds and the Fully Managed Series and Emerging Markets Series may invest up to
5% and 10% of their assets, respectively, in bonds rated lower than Baa or BBB,
or, if not rated by Moody's or S&P, of equivalent quality ("high yield bonds,"
which are commonly referred to as "junk bonds"). In general, high yield bonds
are not considered to be investment grade, and investors should consider the
risks associated with high yield bonds before investing in the pertinent Series.
Investment in such securities generally provides greater income and increased
opportunity for capital

                                        2
<PAGE>

appreciation than investments in higher quality securities, but they also
typically entail greater price volatility and principal and income risk.

     Investment in high yield bonds involves special risks in addition to the
risks associated with investments in higher rated debt securities. High yield
bonds are regarded as predominately speculative with respect to the issuer's
continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments. The high yield bond
market is relatively new, and many of the outstanding high yield bonds have not
endured a lengthy business recession. A long-term track record on bond default
rates, such as that for investment grade corporate bonds, does not exist for the
high yield market. Analysis of the creditworthiness of issuers of debt
securities, and the ability of a Series to achieve its investment objective may,
to the extent of investment in high yield bonds, be more dependent upon such
creditworthiness analysis than would be the case if the Series were investing in
higher quality bonds.

     High yield bonds may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse
economic and competitive industry conditions than investment grade bonds. The
prices of high yield bonds have been found to be less sensitive to interest rate
changes than higher-rated investments, but more sensitive to adverse economic
downturns or individual corporate developments. A projection of an economic
downturn or of a period of rising interest rates, for example, could cause a
decline in high yield bond prices because the advent of a recession could lessen
the ability of a highly leveraged company to make principal and interest
payments on its debt securities. If an issuer of high yield bonds defaults, in
addition to risking payment of all or a portion of interest and principal, the
Series may incur additional expenses to seek recovery. In the case of high yield
bonds structured as zero-coupon or pay-in-kind securities, their market prices
are affected to a greater extent by interest rate changes, and therefore tend to
be more volatile than securities which pay interest periodically and in cash.

     The secondary market on which high yield bonds are traded may be less
liquid than the market for higher grade bonds. Less liquidity in the secondary
trading market could adversely affect the price at which the Series could sell a
high yield bond, and could adversely affect and cause large fluctuations in the
daily net asset value of the Series' shares. Adverse publicity and investor
perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, may decrease the
values and liquidity of high yield bonds, especially in a thinly traded market.
When secondary markets for high yield bonds are less liquid than the market for
higher grade bonds, it may be more difficult to value the securities because
such valuation may require more research, and elements of judgment may play a
greater role in the valuation because there is less reliable, objective data
available.

     There are also certain risks involved in using credit ratings for
evaluating high yield bonds. For example, credit ratings evaluate the safety of
principal and interest payments, not the market value risk of high yield bonds.
Also, credit rating agencies may fail to timely reflect subsequent events.

BRADY BONDS

     The Emerging Markets Series may invest in certain debt obligations
customarily referred to as "Brady Bonds," which are created through the exchange
of existing commercial bank loans to sovereign entities for new obligations in
connection with debt restructuring under a plan introduced by former U.S.
Secretary of the Treasury, Nicholas F. Brady (the "Brady Plan"). Brady Bonds are
not considered U.S. Government securities and are considered speculative.


                                        3
<PAGE>

Brady Plan debt restructurings have been implemented to date in several
countries, including Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, Uruguay, Costa Rica, Brazil,
Bulgaria, the Dominican Republic, Jordan, Nigeria and the Philippines
(collectively, the "Brady Countries"). Ecuador has reached an agreement with its
lending banks, but the full consummation of Ecuador's Brady Plan is still
pending. It is expected that other countries will undertake a Brady Plan debt
restructuring in the future, including Peru, Poland and Panama. Brady Bonds have
been issued only recently, and accordingly, do not have a long payment history.
They may be collateralized or uncollateralized and issued in various currencies
(although most are U.S. dollar-denominated) and they are actively traded in the
over-the-counter secondary market.

     U.S. dollar-denominated, collateralized Brady Bonds, which may be fixed
rate par bonds or floating rate discount bonds, are generally collateralized in
full as to principal by U.S. Treasury zero coupon bonds which have the same
maturity as the Brady Bonds. Interest payments on these Brady Bonds generally
are collateralized on a one-year or longer rolling-forward basis by cash or
securities in an amount that, in the case of fixed rate bonds, is equal to at
least one year of interest payments or, in the case of floating rate bonds,
initially is equal to at least one year's interest payments based on the
applicable interest rate at the time and is adjusted at regular intervals
thereafter.

     Certain Brady Bonds are entitled to "value recovery payments" in certain
circumstances, which in effect constitute supplemental interest payments but
generally are not collateralized. Brady Bonds are often viewed as having three
or four valuation components: (i) the collateralized repayment of principal at
final maturity; (ii) the collateralized interest payments; (iii) the
uncollateralized interest payments; and (iv) any uncollateralized repayment of
principal at maturity (these uncollateralized amounts constitute the "residual
risk").

     Most Mexican Brady Bonds issued to date have principal repayments at final
maturity fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury zero coupon bonds (or comparable
collateral denominated in other currencies) and interest coupon payments
collateralized on an 18-month rolling-forward basis by funds held in escrow by
an agent for the bondholders. A significant portion of the Venezuelan Brady
Bonds and the Argentine Brady Bonds issued to date have principal repayments at
final maturity collateralized by U.S. Treasury zero coupon bonds (or comparable
collateral denominated in other currencies) and/or interest coupon payments
collateralized on a 14-month (for Venezuela) or 12-month (for Argentina)
rolling-forward basis by securities held by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
as collateral agent.

     Brady Bonds involve various risk factors including residual risk and the
history of defaults with respect to commercial bank loans by public and private
entities of countries issuing Brady Bonds. There can be no assurance that Brady
Bonds in which the Series may invest will not be subject to restructuring
arrangements or to requests for new credit, which may cause the Series to suffer
a loss of interest or principal on any of its holdings.

SOVEREIGN DEBT

     The Emerging Markets Series may invest in debt obligations ("sovereign
debt") of governmental issuers in emerging market countries and industrialized
countries. Certain emerging market countries are among the largest debtors to
commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority
that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to
repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance


                                        4
<PAGE>

with the terms of such obligations. A governmental entities' willingness or
ability to repay principal and pay interest due in a timely manner may be
affected by, among other factors, its cash flow situation, the extent of its
foreign reserves,the availability of sufficient foreign exchange on the date a
payment is due, the relative size of the debt service burden to the economy as a
whole, the government's dependence on expected disbursements from third parties,
the government's policy toward the International Monetary Fund and the political
constraints to which a government may be subject. Governmental entities may also
be dependent on expected disbursements from foreign governments, multilateral
agencies and others abroad to reduce principal and interest arrearages on their
debt. The commitment on the part of these governments, agencies and others to
make such disbursements may be conditioned on a debtor's implementation of
economic reforms or economic performance and the timely service of such debtor's
obligations. Failure to implement such reforms, achieve such levels of economic
performance or repay principal or interest when due may result in the
cancellation of such third parties' commitments to lend funds to the government
debtor, which may further impair such debtor's ability or willingness to timely
service its debts. Holders of sovereign debt may be requested to participate in
the rescheduling of such debt and to extend further loans to governmental
entities. In addition, no assurance can be given that the holders of commercial
bank debt will not contest payments to the holders of other foreign government
debt obligations in the event of default under their commercial bank loan
agreements.

     The issuers of the government debt securities in which the Series may
invest have in the past experienced substantial difficulties in servicing their
external debt obligations, which led to defaults on certain obligations and the
restructuring of certain indebtedness. Restructuring arrangements have included,
among other things, reducing and rescheduling interest and principal payments by
negotiating new or amended credit agreements or converting outstanding principal
and unpaid interest to Brady Bonds, and obtaining new credit to finance interest
payments. There can be no assurance that the Brady Bonds and other foreign
government debt securities in which the Series may invest will not be subject to
similar restructuring arrangements or to requests for new credit which may
adversely affect the Series' holdings. Furthermore, certain participants in the
secondary market for such debt may be directly involved in negotiating the terms
of these arrangements and may therefore have access to information not available
to other market participants.

MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

     All Series except the Market Manager Series may invest in mortgage-backed
securities.

     GNMA CERTIFICATES. Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA")
certificates are mortgage-backed securities representing part ownership of a
pool of mortgage loans on which timely payment of interest and principal is
guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. GNMA is a wholly
owned U.S. Government corporation within the Department of Housing and Urban
Development. GNMA is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of
the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities
issued by institutions approved by GNMA (such as savings and loan institutions,
commercial banks, and mortgage bankers) and backed by pools of FHA-insured or
VA-guaranteed mortgages.

     Interests in pools of mortgage-backed securities differ from other forms of
debt securities, which normally provide for periodic payment of interest in
fixed amounts with principal payments at maturity or specified call dates.
Instead, these securities provide a periodic payment which consists


                                        5
<PAGE>

of both interest and principal payments. In effect, these payments are a "pass-
through" of the periodic payments made by the individual borrowers on the
residential mortgage loans, net of any fees paid to the issuer or guarantor of
such securities. Additional payments are caused by repayments of principal
resulting from the sale of the underlying residential property, refinancing or
foreclosure, net of fees or costs which may be incurred. Mortgage-backed
securities issued by GNMA are described as "modified pass-through" securities.
These securities entitle the holder to receive all interest and principal
payments owed on the mortgage pool, net of certain fees, at the scheduled
payment dates, regardless of whether or not the mortgagor actually makes the
payment. Although GNMA guarantees timely payment even if homeowners delay or
default, tracking the "pass-through" payments may, at times, be difficult.
Expected payments may be delayed due to the delays in registering the newly
traded paper securities. The custodian's policies for crediting missed payments
while errant receipts are tracked down may vary. Other mortgage-backed
securities, such as those of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
("FHLMC") and the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), trade in book-
entry form and should not be subject to the risk of delays in timely payment of
income.

     Although the mortgage loans in the pool will have maturities of up to 30
years, the actual average life of the GNMA certificates typically will be
substantially less because the mortgages will be subject to normal principal
amortization and may be prepaid prior to maturity. Early repayments of principal
on the underlying mortgages may expose a Series to a lower rate of return upon
reinvestment of principal. Prepayment rates vary widely and may be affected by
changes in market interest rates. In periods of falling interest rates, the rate
of prepayment tends to increase, thereby shortening the actual average life of
the GNMA certificates. Conversely, when interest rates are rising, the rate of
prepayment tends to decrease, thereby lengthening the actual average life of the
GNMA certificates. Accordingly, it is not possible to accurately predict the
average life of a particular pool. Reinvestment of prepayments may occur at
higher or lower rates than the original yield on the certificates. Due to the
prepayment feature and the need to reinvest prepayments of principal at current
rates, GNMA certificates can be less effective than typical bonds of similar
maturities at "locking in" yields during periods of declining interest rates,
although they may have comparable risks of decline in value during periods of
rising interest rates.

     FNMA AND FHLMC MORTGAGE-BACKED OBLIGATIONS. Government-related guarantors
(i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include
the FNMA and the FHLMC. FNMA, a federally chartered and privately owned
corporation, issues pass-through securities representing interests in a pool of
conventional mortgage loans. FNMA guarantees the timely payment of principal and
interest, but this guarantee is not backed by the full faith and credit of the
U.S. Government. FNMA also issues REMIC Certificates, which represent an
interest in a trust funded with FNMA Certificates. REMIC Certificates are
guaranteed by FNMA, and not by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.


     FNMA is a government-sponsored corporation owned entirely by private
stockholders. It is subject to general regulation by the Secretary of Housing
and Urban Development. FNMA purchases conventional (i.e., not insured or
guaranteed by any government agency) residential mortgages from a list of
approved seller/servicers which include state and federally chartered savings
and loan associations, mutual savings banks, commercial banks, credit unions,
and mortgage bankers. FHLMC, a corporate instrumentality of the United States,
was created by Congress in 1970 for the purpose of increasing the availability
of mortgage credit for residential housing. Its stock is owned by the twelve
Federal Home Loan Banks. FHLMC issues Participation Certificates ("PCs") which
represent interests in conventional mortgages from FHLMC's national portfolio.


                                        6
<PAGE>

FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of
principal and maintains reserves to protect holders against losses due to
default. PCs are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
As is the case with GNMA certificates, the actual maturity and realized yield on
particular FNMA and FHLMC pass-through securities will vary based on the
prepayment experience of the underlying pool of mortgages.

     COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS (CMOS). A CMO is a hybrid between a
mortgage-backed bond and a mortgage pass-through security. Similar to a bond,
interest and prepaid principal are paid, in most cases, semiannually. CMOs may
be collateralized by whole mortgage loans, but are more typically collateralized
by portfolios of mortgage pass-through securities guaranteed by GNMA, FHLMC, or
FNMA, and their income streams.

     CMOs are structured into multiple classes, each bearing a different stated
maturity. Actual maturity and average life will depend upon the prepayment
experience of the collateral. CMOs provide for a modified form of call
protection through a de facto breakdown of the underlying pool of mortgages
according to how quickly the loans are repaid. Monthly payment of principal
received from the pool of underlying investors, including prepayments, is first
returned to investors holding the shortest maturity class. Investors holding the
longer maturity classes receive principal only after the first class has been
retired. An investor is partially guarded against a sooner-than-desired return
of principal because of the sequential payments.

     In a typical CMO transaction, a corporation ("issuer") issues multiple
Series (e.g., A, B, C, Z) of CMO bonds ("Bonds"). Proceeds of the Bond offering
are used to purchase mortgages or mortgage pass-through certificates
("Collateral"). The Collateral is pledged to a third-party trustee as security
for the Bonds. Principal and interest payments from the Collateral are used to
pay principal on the Bonds in the order A, B, C, Z. The Series A, B, and C Bonds
all bear current interest. Interest on the Series Z Bond is accrued and added to
the principal; a like amount is paid as principal on the Series A, B, or C Bond
currently being paid off. When the Series A, B, and C Bonds are paid in full,
interest and principal on the Series Z Bond begin to be paid currently. With
some CMOs, the issuer serves as a conduit to allow loan originators (primarily
builders or savings and loan associations) to borrow against their loan
portfolios.

     OTHER MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES. Commercial banks, savings and loan
institutions, private mortgage insurance companies, mortgage bankers, and other
secondary market issuers also create pass-through pools of conventional
residential mortgage loans. In addition, such issuers may be the originators
and/or servicers of the underlying mortgage loans as well as the guarantors of
the mortgage-backed securities. Pools created by such non-governmental issuers
generally offer a higher rate of interest than government and government-related
pools because there are no direct or indirect government or agency guarantees of
payments in the former pools. Timely payment of interest and principal of these
pools may be supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, including
individual loan, title, pool and hazard insurance, and letters of credit. The
insurance and guarantees are issued by governmental entities, private insurers,
and the mortgage poolers. Such insurance, guarantees, and the creditworthiness
of the issuers thereof will be considered in determining whether a mortgage-
backed security meets a Series' investment quality standards. There can be no
assurance that the private insurers or guarantors can meet their obligations
under the insurance policies or guarantee arrangements.

     All Series other than the Liquid Asset Series, the Capital Appreciation
Series, the Rising Dividends Series, the Emerging Markets Series, and the Market
Manager Series may buy mortgage-


                                        7
<PAGE>

backed securities without insurance or guarantees, if the Portfolio Manager
determines that the securities meet a Series' quality standards. Although the
market for such securities is becoming increasingly liquid, securities issued by
certain private organizations may not be readily marketable. A Series will not
purchase mortgage-backed securities or any other assets which, in the opinion of
the Portfolio Manager, are illiquid if, as a result, more than 10% of the value
of a Series' total assets will be illiquid. As new types of mortgage-backed
securities are developed and offered to investors, the Portfolio Manager will,
consistent with a Series' investment objectives, policies, and quality
standards, consider making investments in such new types of mortgage-backed
securities.

     It is expected that governmental, government-related, or private entities
may create mortgage loan pools and other mortgage-backed securities offering
mortgage pass-through and mortgage-collateralized investments in addition to
those described above. As new types of mortgage-backed securities are developed
and offered to investors, investments in such new types of mortgage-backed
securities may be considered for the Series.

OTHER ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES

     All Series other than the Liquid Asset Series, the Capital Appreciation
Series, the Rising Dividends Series, the Emerging Markets Series, and the Market
Manager Series may purchase other asset-backed securities (unrelated to mortgage
loans) such as "CARS-SM-" ("Certificates for Automobile Receivables-SM-") and
Credit Card Receivable Securities.

     CARS-SM- represent undivided fractional interests in a trust ("trust")
whose assets consist of a pool of motor vehicle retail installment sales
contracts and security interests in the vehicles securing the contracts.
Payments of principal and interest on CARS-SM- are "passed-through" monthly to
certificate holders, and are guaranteed up to certain amounts by a letter of
credit issued by a financial institution unaffiliated with the trustee or
originator of the trust. Underlying sales contracts are subject to prepayment,
which may reduce the overall return to certificate holders. Certificate holders
may also experience delays in payment or losses on CARS-SM- if the full amounts
due on underlying sales contracts are not realized by the trust because of
unanticipated legal or administrative costs of enforcing the contracts, or
because of depreciation, damage, or loss of the vehicles securing the contracts,
or other factors.

     If consistent with its investment objective and policies, a Series may
invest in "Credit Card Receivable Securities." Credit Card Receivable Securities
are asset-backed securities backed by receivables from revolving credit card
agreements. Credit balances on revolving credit card agreements ("Accounts") are
generally paid down more rapidly than are Automobile Contracts. Most of the
Credit Card Receivable Securities issued publicly to date have been Pass-Through
Certificates. In order to lengthen the maturity of Credit Card Receivable
Securities, most such securities provide for a fixed period during which only
interest payments on the underlying Accounts are passed through to the security
holder and principal payments received on such Accounts are used to fund the
transfer to the pool of assets supporting the related Credit Card Receivable
Securities of additional credit card charges made on an Account. The initial
fixed period usually may be shortened upon the occurrence of specified events
which signal a potential deterioration in the quality of the assets backing the
security, such as the imposition of a cap on interest rates. The ability of the
issuer to extend the life of an issue of Credit Card Receivable Securities thus
depends upon the continued generation of additional principal amounts in the
underlying Accounts during the initial period and the non-occurrence of
specified events. The Tax Reform Act of 1986, pursuant to which a taxpayer's
ability to deduct consumer interest in his or her federal income tax calculation
was


                                        8
<PAGE>

completely phased out for taxable years beginning in 1991, as well as
competitive and general economic factors, could adversely affect the rate at
which new receivables are created in an Account and conveyed to an issuer,
shortening the expected weighted average life of the related Credit Card
Receivable Security, and reducing its yield. An acceleration in cardholders'
payment rates or any other event which shortens the period during which
additional credit card charges on an Account may be transferred to the pool of
assets supporting the related Credit Card Receivable Security could have a
similar effect on the weighted average life and yield.

     Credit card holders are entitled to the protection of a number of state and
federal consumer credit laws, many of which give such holder the right to set
off certain amounts against balances owed on the credit card, thereby reducing
amounts paid on Accounts. In addition, unlike most other asset-backed
securities, Accounts are unsecured obligations of the cardholder.

VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES

     All Series may invest in variable and floating rate securities.

     Variable rate securities provide for automatic establishment of a new
interest rate at fixed intervals (e.g., daily, monthly, semi-annually, etc.).
Floating rate securities provide for automatic adjustment of the interest rate
whenever some specified interest rate index changes. The interest rate on
variable or floating rate securities is ordinarily determined by reference to or
is a percentage of a bank's prime rate, the 90-day U.S. Treasury bill rate, the
rate of return on commercial paper or bank certificates of deposit, an index of
short-term interest rates, or some other objective measure.

     Variable or floating rate securities frequently include a demand feature
entitling the holder to sell the securities to the issuer at par value. In many
cases, the demand feature can be exercised at any time on 7 days' notice; in
other cases, the demand feature is exercisable at any time on 30 days' notice or
on similar notice at intervals of not more than one year. Some securities which
do not have variable or floating interest rates may be accompanied by puts
producing similar results and price characteristics.

BANKING INDUSTRY AND SAVINGS INDUSTRY OBLIGATIONS

   
     All Series may invest in (i) certificates of deposit, time deposits,
bankers' acceptances, and other short-term debt obligations issued by commercial
banks and in (ii) certificates of deposit, time deposits, and other short-term
obligations issued by savings and loan associations ("S&L"). The Multiple
Allocation, Limited Maturity Bond, Liquid Asset, Emerging Markets, Value Equity,
Strategic Equity, and Small Cap Series may invest in obligations of foreign
branches of commercial banks and foreign banks so long as the securities are
U.S. dollar-denominated, and the Emerging Markets Series may also invest in
obligations of foreign branches of commercial banks and foreign banks if the
securities are not U.S. dollar-denominated. See "Foreign Securities" discussion
in The GCG Trust Prospectus for further information regarding risks attending
investment in foreign securities.
    

     Certificates of deposit are negotiable certificates issued against funds
deposited in a commercial bank for a definite period of time and earning a
specified return. Bankers' acceptances are negotiable drafts or bills of
exchange, which are normally drawn by an importer or exporter to pay for
specific merchandise, and which are "accepted" by a bank, meaning, in effect,
that the bank unconditionally agrees to pay the face value of the instrument on
maturity. Fixed-time deposits are

                                        9
<PAGE>
bank obligations payable at a stated maturity date and bearing interest at a
fixed rate. Fixed-time deposits may be withdrawn on demand by the investor,
but may be subject to early withdrawal penalties which vary depending upon
market conditions and the remaining maturity of the obligation. There are no
contractual restrictions on the right to transfer a beneficial interest in a
fixed-time deposit to a third party, because there is no market for such
deposits. A Series will not invest in fixed-time deposits (i) which are not
subject to prepayment or (ii) which provide for withdrawal penalties upon
prepayment (other than overnight deposits), if, in the aggregate, more than 10%
of its assets would be invested in such deposits, in repurchase agreements
maturing in more than seven days, and in other illiquid assets, except that the
Rising Dividends Series, Emerging Markets Series, and Market Manager Series may
invest up to 15% of assets in such deposits, repurchase agreements, and other
illiquid assets.

     Obligations of foreign banks involve somewhat different investment risks
than those affecting obligations of U.S. banks, which include: (i) the
possibility that their liquidity could be impaired because of future political
and economic developments; (ii) their obligations may be less marketable than
comparable obligations of U.S. banks; (iii) a foreign jurisdiction might impose
withholding taxes on interest income payable on those obligations; (iv) foreign
deposits may be seized or nationalized; (v) foreign governmental restrictions,
such as exchange controls, may be adopted which might adversely affect the
payment of principal and interest on those obligations; and (vi) the selection
of those obligations may be more difficult because there may be less publicly
available information concerning foreign banks and/or because the accounting,
auditing, and financial reporting standards, practices and requirements
applicable to foreign banks may differ from those applicable to U.S. banks.
Foreign banks are not generally subject to examination by any U.S. Government
agency or instrumentality.

     Certain of the Series, including the Fully Managed Series and Liquid Asset
Series, invest only in bank and S&L obligations as specified in that Series'
investment policies. Other Series will not invest in obligations issued by a
commercial bank or S&L unless:

          (i)   the bank or S&L has total assets of least $1 billion, or the
     equivalent in other currencies, and the institution has outstanding
     securities rated A or better by Moody's or Standard and Poor's, or, if the
     institution has no outstanding securities rated by Moody's or Standard &
     Poor's, it has, in the determination of the Portfolio Manager, similar
     creditworthiness to institutions having outstanding securities so rated;

          (ii)  in the case of a U.S. bank or S&L, its deposits are insured by
     the FDIC or the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), as the case
     may be; and

          (iii) in the case of a foreign bank, the security is, in the
     determination of the Series' Portfolio Manager, of an investment quality
     comparable with other debt securities which may be purchased by the Series.
     These limitations do not prohibit investments in securities issued by
     foreign branches of U.S. banks, provided such U.S. banks meet the foregoing
     requirements.

COMMERCIAL PAPER

     All of the Series may invest in commercial paper (including variable amount
master demand notes), denominated in U.S. dollars, issued by U.S. corporations
or foreign corporations. Unless otherwise indicated in the investment policies
for a Series, a Series may invest in commercial paper

                                       10
<PAGE>
(i) rated, at the date of investment, Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody's or A-1 or
A-2 by Standard & Poor's; (ii) if not rated by either Moody's or Standard &
Poor's, issued by a corporation having an outstanding debt issue rated Aa or
better by Moody's or AA or better by Standard & Poor's; or (iii) if not rated,
are determined to be of an investment quality comparable to rated commercial
paper in which a Series may invest.

     Commercial paper obligations may include variable amount master demand
notes. These notes are obligations that permit the investment of fluctuating
amounts at varying rates of interest pursuant to direct arrangements between a
Series, as lender, and the borrower. These notes permit daily changes in the
amounts borrowed. The lender has the right to increase or to decrease the amount
under the note at any time up to the full amount provided by the note agreement;
and the borrower may prepay up to the full amount of the note without penalty.
Because variable amount master demand notes are direct lending arrangements
between the lender and borrower, and because no secondary market exists for
those notes, such instruments will probably not be traded. However, the notes
are redeemable (and thus immediately repayable by the borrower) at face value,
plus accrued interest, at any time. In connection with master demand note
arrangements, the Portfolio Manager will monitor, on an ongoing basis, the
earning power, cash flow, and other liquidity ratios of the borrower and its
ability to pay principal and interest on demand. The Portfolio Manager also will
consider the extent to which the variable amount master demand notes are backed
by bank letters of credit. These notes generally are not rated by Moody's or
Standard & Poor's; the Series may invest in them only if the Portfolio Manager
believes that at the time of investment the notes are of comparable quality to
the other commercial paper in which the Series may invest. Master demand notes
are considered by the Series to have a maturity of one day, unless the Portfolio
Manager has reason to believe that the borrower could not make immediate
repayment upon demand. See the Appendix for a description of Moody's and
Standard & Poor's ratings applicable to commercial paper.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

     All Series may invest in repurchase agreements. The term of such an
agreement is generally quite short, possibly overnight or for a few days,
although it may extend over a number of months (up to one year) from the date of
delivery. The resale price is in excess of the purchase price by an amount which
reflects an agreed-upon market rate of return, effective for the period of time
the Series is invested in the security. This results in a fixed rate of return
protected from market fluctuations during the period of the agreement. This rate
is not tied to the coupon rate on the security subject to the repurchase
agreement.

     The Portfolio Manager to a Series monitors the value of the underlying
securities at the time the repurchase agreement is entered into and at all times
during the term of the agreement to ensure that its value always equals or
exceeds the agreed-upon repurchase price to be paid to the Series. The Portfolio
Manager, in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Trustees,
also evaluates the creditworthiness and financial responsibility of the banks
and brokers or dealers with which the Series enters into repurchase agreements.

     A Series may engage in repurchase transactions in accordance with
guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust, which include
monitoring the creditworthiness of the parties with which a Series engages in
repurchase transactions, obtaining collateral at least equal in value to the
repurchase obligation, and marking the collateral to market on a daily basis.


                                       11
<PAGE>

   
     A Series may not enter into a repurchase agreement having more than seven
days remaining to maturity if, as a result, such agreements, together with any
other securities that are not readily marketable, would exceed 10% of the net
assets of the Series, except that the Rising Dividends, Emerging Markets, Value
Equity, Strategic Equity, Small Cap, and Market Manager Series may invest up to
15% of assets in such securities and repurchase agreements. If the seller should
become bankrupt or default on its obligations to repurchase the securities, a
Series may experience delay or difficulties in exercising its rights to the
securities held as collateral and might incur a loss if the value of the
securities should decline. A Series also might incur disposition costs in
connection with liquidating the securities.
    

REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

   
     A reverse repurchase agreement may be entered into by the Multiple
Allocation, Fully Managed, Capital Appreciation, Emerging Markets, Value Equity,
Strategic Equity and Small Cap Series and involves the sale of a security by the
Series and its agreement to repurchase the instrument at a specified time and
price. A Series will use the proceeds of a reverse repurchase agreement to
purchase other money market instruments which either mature at a date
simultaneous with or prior to the expiration of the reverse repurchase agreement
or which are held under an agreement to resell maturing as of that time. A
Series will maintain a segregated account consisting of cash, U.S. Government
securities, or high-grade debt obligations to cover its obligations under
reverse repurchase agreements. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, reverse
repurchase agreements may be considered to be borrowings by the seller;
accordingly, a Series will limit its investments in reverse repurchase
agreements consistent with the borrowing limits applicable to the Series.
See "Borrowing" for further information on these limits. The use of reverse
repurchase agreements by a Series creates leverage which increases a Series'
investment risk. If the income and gains on securities purchased with the
proceeds of reverse repurchase agreements exceed the cost of the agreements,
the Series' earnings or net asset value will increase faster than otherwise
would be the case; conversely, if the income and gains fail to exceed the
costs, earnings or net asset value would decline faster than otherwise would
be the case.
    

LENDING PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

   
     The Multiple Allocation, Fully Managed, Limited Maturity Bond, Natural
Resources, Capital Appreciation, Rising Dividends, Emerging Markets, Stragegic
Equity and Small Cap Series may lend portfolio securities to broker-dealers or
institutional investors for the purpose of realizing additional income.
    

     A Series will only enter into this transaction if (1) the loan is fully
collateralized at all times with U.S. Government securities, cash, or cash
equivalents (cash, U.S. Government securities, negotiable certificates of
deposit, bankers' acceptances, or letters of credit) maintained on a daily
marked-to-market basis, in an amount at least equal to the value of the
securities loaned; (2) it may at any time call the loan and obtain the return of
the securities loaned within five business days; (3) it will receive any
interest or dividends paid on the loaned securities; and (4) the aggregate
market value of securities loaned will not at any time exceed 30% of the total
assets of the Series. As with other extensions of secured credit, loans of
portfolio securities involve some risk of loss of rights in the collateral
should the borrower fail financially. Accordingly, the Series' Portfolio Manager
will monitor the value of the collateral, which will be marked-to-market daily,
and will monitor the creditworthiness of the borrowers. There is no assurance
that a borrower will return any securities loaned; however, as discussed above,
a borrower of securities from a Series must maintain with the


                                       12
<PAGE>

Series cash or U.S. Government securities equal to at least 100% of the market
value of the securities borrowed. Voting rights attached to the loaned
securities may pass to the borrower with the lending of portfolio securities;
however, a Series lending such voting securities may call them if important
shareholder meetings are imminent. A Series may only lend portfolio securities
to entities that are not affiliated with either the Manager or a Portfolio
Manager.

WARRANTS

   
     Each of the following Series may invest in warrants: the Multiple
Allocation, Fully Managed, Natural Resources, Real Estate, All-Growth, Emerging
Markets, Value Equity, Strategic Equity and Small Cap Series. Each of these
Series may invest up to 5% of its net assets in warrants (not including those
that have been acquired in units or attached to other securities), measured at
the time of acquisition, and none of these Series may acquire a warrant not
listed on the New York or American Stock Exchanges if, after the purchase, more
than 2% of the Series' assets would be invested in such warrants.
    

     The holder of a warrant has the right to purchase a given number of shares
of a particular issuer at a specified price until expiration of the warrant.
Such investments can provide a greater potential for profit or loss than an
equivalent investment in the underlying security. Prices of warrants do not
necessarily move in tandem with the prices of the underlying securities, and are
speculative investments. They pay no dividends and confer no rights other than a
purchase option. If a warrant is not exercised by the date of its expiration,
the Series will lose its entire investment in such warrant.

OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES

     All Series may invest in shares issued by other investment companies. A
Series is limited in the degree to which it may invest in shares of another
investment company in that it may not, at the time of the purchase, (1) acquire
more than 3% of the outstanding voting shares of the investment company, (2)
invest more than 5% of the Series' total assets in the investment company, or
(3) invest more than 10% of the Series' total assets in all investment company
holdings. As a shareholder in any investment company, a Series will bear its
ratable share of the investment company's expenses, including management fees in
the case of a management investment company.

SHORT SALES

   
     The Multiple Allocation, Natural Resources, All-Growth, Capital
Appreciation, Strategic Equity and Small Cap Series may make short sales of
securities. A short sale is a transaction in which the Series sells a security
it does not own in anticipation of a decline in market price. A Series may make
short sales to offset a potential decline in a long position or a group of long
positions, or if the Series' Portfolio Manager believes that a decline in the
price of a particular security or group of securities is likely. The Multiple
Allocation Series' Portfolio Manager expects that, even during normal or
favorable market conditions, the Series may make short sales in an attempt to
maintain portfolio flexibility and facilitate the rapid implementation of
investment strategies if the Portfolio Manager believes that the price of a
particular security or group of securities is likely to decline.
    

     Under current income tax laws, any capital gains realized by the Series
from short sales will generally be treated and distributed as short-term capital
gains. If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the
short sale and the time the Series replaces the borrowed security,


                                       13
<PAGE>

the Series will incur a loss, and if the price declines during this period, the
Series will realize a capital gain. Any realized gain will be decreased, and any
incurred loss increased, by the amount of transactional costs and any premium,
dividend, or interest which the Series may have to pay in connection with such
short sale.


SHORT SALES AGAINST THE BOX

     All Series, except the Limited Maturity Bond Series, Liquid Asset Series,
and Market Manager Series, may make short sales "against the box." A short sale
"against the box" is a short sale where, at the time of the short sale, the
Series owns or has the immediate and unconditional right, at no added cost, to
obtain the identical security. The Series would enter into such a transaction to
defer a gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes on the security owned by
the Series. Short sales against the box are not subject to the percentage
limitations on short sales described above.

FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS

   
     The Multiple Allocation, Fully Managed, Limited Maturity Bond, Natural
Resources, All-Growth, Capital Appreciation, Emerging Markets, Value Equity,
Strategic Equity, Small Cap, and Market Manager Series may engage in futures
contracts. The Multiple Allocation, Fully Managed, Limited Maturity Bond,
Natural Resources, Capital Appreciation, Emerging Markets, Value Equity,
Strategic Equity, and Small Cap Series may purchase and sell interest-rate
futures contracts. The Limited Maturity Bond Series may also purchase and write
options on interest rate futures contracts, and the Value Equity Series may also
purchase options on interest rate futures contracts. The Multiple Allocation,
Fully Managed, Natural Resources, All-Growth, Capital Appreciation, Emerging
Markets, Value Equity, Strategic Equity and Small Cap Series may purchase and
sell stock index futures contracts and futures contracts based upon other
financial instruments, and purchase options on such contracts. The Market
Manager Series may purchase futures contracts on securities or stock indexes and
purchase options on such contracts, but will not sell futures contracts. The
Multiple Allocation, Natural Resources, and Strategic Equity Series may engage
in gold and other futures contracts. The Fully Managed Series will not write
options on any futures contracts.
    

     GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF FUTURES CONTRACTS. A futures contract provides for
the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount
of a particular financial instrument (debt security) or commodity for a
specified price at a designated date, time, and place. Although futures
contracts by their terms require actual future delivery of and payment for
financial instruments, commodities futures contracts are usually closed out
before the delivery date. Closing out an open futures contract position is
effected by entering into an offsetting sale or purchase, respectively, for the
same aggregate amount of the same financial instrument or commodities and the
same delivery date. Where a Series has sold a futures contract, if the
offsetting purchase price is less than the original futures contract sale price,
the Series realizes a gain; if it is more, the Series realizes a loss. Where a
Series has purchased a futures contract, if the offsetting price is more than
the original futures contract purchase price, the Series realizes a gain; if it
is less, the Series realizes a loss.

   
     INTEREST RATE FUTURES CONTRACTS. The Multiple Allocation, Fully Managed,
Limited Maturity Bond, Natural Resources, Capital Appreciation, Emerging
Markets, Value Equity, Strategic Equity, and Small Cap Series may purchase and
sell interest rate futures contracts. An interest rate futures contract is an
obligation traded on an exchange or board of trade that requires


                                       14
<PAGE>

the purchaser to accept delivery, and the seller to make delivery, of a
specified quantity of the underlying financial instrument, such as U.S. Treasury
bills and bonds, in a stated delivery month, at a price fixed in the contract.
    

     The Series may purchase and sell interest rate futures as a hedge against
adverse changes in debt instruments and other interest rate sensitive securities
held in the Series' portfolio. As a hedging strategy a Series might employ, a
Series would purchase an interest rate futures contract when it is not fully
invested in long-term debt securities but wishes to defer their purchase for
some time until it can orderly invest in such securities or because short-term
yields are higher than long-term yields. Such a purchase would enable the Series
to earn the income on a short-term security while at the same time minimizing
the effect of all or part of an increase in the market price of the long-term
debt security which the Series intends to purchase in the future. A rise in the
price of the long-term debt security prior to its purchase either would be
offset by an increase in the value of the futures contract purchased by the
Series or avoided by taking delivery of the debt securities under the futures
contract.

     A Series would sell an interest rate futures contract in order to continue
to receive the income from a long-term debt security, while endeavoring to avoid
part or all of the decline in market value of that security which would
accompany an increase in interest rates. If interest rates did rise, a decline
in the value of the debt security held by the Series would be substantially
offset by the ability of the Series to repurchase at a lower price the interest
rate futures contract previously sold. While the Series could sell the long-term
debt security and invest in a short-term security, ordinarily the Series would
give up income on its investment, since long-term rates normally exceed short-
term rates.

   
     OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS. The Multiple Allocation, Fully Managed,
Natural Resources, All-Growth, Capital Appreciation, and Emerging Markets Series
may purchase options on interest rate futures contracts, although these Series
will not write options on any such contracts. The Strategic Equity and Market
Manager Series may purchase options on futures contracts and stock index futures
contracts, but will not write options on such contracts. The Value Equity and
Small Cap Series may purchase options on stock index futures contracts, interest
rate futures contracts, and foreign currency futures contracts, but will not
write options on such contracts. The Limited Maturity Bond Series may purchase
and write options on interest-rate futures contracts. A futures option gives the
Series the right, in return for the premium paid, to assume a long position (in
the case of a call) or short position (in the case of a put) in a futures
contract at a specified exercise price prior to the expiration of the option.
Upon exercise of a call option, the purchaser acquires a long position in the
futures contract and the writer of the option is assigned the opposite short
position. In the case of a put option, the converse is true. A futures option
may be closed out (before exercise or expiration) by an offsetting purchase or
sale of a futures option by the Series.
    

     The Series may use options on futures contracts in connection with hedging
strategies. Generally these strategies would be employed under the same market
conditions in which a Series would use put and call options on debt securities,
as described hereafter in "Options on Securities and Securities Indexes."

   
     STOCK INDEX FUTURES CONTRACTS. The Multiple Allocation, Fully Managed,
Natural Resources, All-Growth, Capital Appreciation, Emerging Markets, Value
Equity, Strategic Equity and Small Cap Series may purchase and sell stock
index futures contracts, and the Market Manager Series may purchase stock index
futures contracts. A "stock index" assigns relative values to the


                                       15
<PAGE>

common stock included in an index (for example, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index
of Composite Stocks or the New York Stock Exchange Composite Index), and the
index fluctuates with changes in the market values of such stocks. A stock index
futures contract is a bilateral agreement to accept or make payment, depending
on whether a contract is purchased or sold, of an amount of cash equal to a
specified dollar amount multiplied by the difference between the stock index
value at the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at
which the futures contract is originally purchased or sold.
    

   
     To the extent that changes in the value of the Multiple Allocation, Fully
Managed, Natural Resources, All-Growth, Capital Appreciation, Emerging Markets,
Value Equity, Strategic Equity and Small Cap Series' portfolio corresponds to
changes in a given stock index, the sale of futures contracts on that index
("short hedge") would substantially reduce the risk to the portfolio of a market
decline and, by so doing, provide an alternative to a liquidation of securities
position, which may be difficult to accomplish in a rapid and orderly fashion.
Stock index futures contracts might also be sold:
    

     (1) when a sale of portfolio securities at that time would appear to be
     disadvantageous in the long-term because such liquidation would:

          (a) forego possible price appreciation,

          (b) create a situation in which the securities would be difficult to
          repurchase, or

          (c) create substantial brokerage commissions;

     (2) when a liquidation of the portfolio has commenced or is contemplated,
     but there is, in the Series' Portfolio Manager's determination, a
     substantial risk of a major price decline before liquidation can be
     completed; or

     (3) to close out stock index futures purchase transactions.

     Where a Series anticipates a significant market or market sector advance,
the purchase of a stock index futures contract ("long hedge") affords a hedge
against not participating in such advance at a time when the Series is not fully
invested. Such purchases would serve as a temporary substitute for the purchase
of individual stocks, which may then be purchased in an orderly fashion. As
purchases of stock are made, an amount of index futures contracts which is
comparable to the amount of stock purchased would be terminated by offsetting
closing sales transactions. Stock index futures might also be purchased:

     (1) if the Series is attempting to purchase equity positions in issues
     which it had or was having difficulty purchasing at prices considered by
     the Series' Portfolio Manager to be fair value based upon the price of the
     stock at the time it qualified for inclusion in the portfolio, or

     (2) to close out stock index futures sales transactions.


     GOLD FUTURES CONTRACTS. The Multiple Allocation, Natural Resources, and
Strategic Equity Series may enter into futures contracts on gold. A gold
futures contract is a standardized contract which is traded on a regulated
commodity futures exchange, and which provides for the future

                                       16
<PAGE>
delivery of a specified amount of gold at a specified date, time, and price.
When the Series purchases a gold futures contract it becomes obligated to take
delivery of and pay for the gold from the seller, and when the Series sells a
gold futures contract, it becomes obligated to make delivery of precious metals
to the purchaser, in each case at a designated date and price. A Series will
enter into gold futures contracts only for the purpose of hedging its holdings
or intended holdings of gold stocks and, with regard to the Natural Resources
Series, gold bullion. The Series will not engage in these contracts for
speculation or for achieving leverage. The Series' hedging activities may
include purchases of futures contracts as an offset against the effect of
anticipated increases in the price of gold or sales of futures contracts as an
offset against the effect of anticipated declines in the price of gold.


     As long as required by regulatory authorities, each investing Series will
limit its use of futures contracts and futures options to hedging transactions
and other strategies as described under the heading "Limitations" in this
section, in order to avoid being deemed a commodity pool. For example, a Series
might use futures contracts to hedge against anticipated changes in interest
rates that might adversely affect either the value of the Series' securities or
the price of the securities which the Series intends to purchase. The Series'
hedging may include sales of futures contracts as an offset against the effect
of expected increases in interest rates and purchases of futures contracts as an
offset against the effect of expected declines in interest rates. Although other
techniques could be used to reduce that Series' exposure to interest rate
fluctuations, a Series may be able to hedge its exposure more effectively and
perhaps at a lower cost by using futures contracts and futures options. See the
Prospectuses for a discussion of other strategies involving futures and futures
options.

     If a purchase or sale of a futures contract is made by a Series, the Series
is required to deposit with its custodian a specified amount of cash or U.S.
Government securities ("initial margin"). The margin required for a futures
contract is set by the exchange or board of trade on which the contract is
traded and may be modified during the term of the contract. The initial margin
is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith deposit on the futures
contract which is returned to the Series upon termination of the contract,
assuming all contractual obligations have been satisfied. Each investing Series
expects to earn interest income on its initial margin deposits. A futures
contract held by a Series is valued daily at the official settlement price of
the exchange on which it is traded. Each day the Series pays or receives cash,
called "variation margin" equal to the daily change in value of the futures
contract. This process is known as "marking to market." The payment or receipt
of the variation margin does not represent a borrowing or loan by a Series but
is settlement between the Series and the broker of the amount one would owe the
other if the futures contract expired. In computing daily net asset value, each
Series will mark-to-market its open futures positions.

     A Series is also required to deposit and maintain margin with respect to
put and call options on futures contracts it writes. Such margin deposits will
vary depending on the nature of the underlying futures contract (including the
related initial margin requirements), the current market value of the option,
and other futures positions held by the Series.

     Although some futures contracts call for making or taking delivery of the
underlying securities, generally these obligations are closed out prior to
delivery by offsetting purchases or sales of matching futures contracts (same
exchange, underlying security, and delivery month). If an offsetting purchase
price is less than the original sale price, the Series realizes a capital gain,
or if it is more, the Series realizes a capital loss. Conversely, if an
offsetting sale price is more than the

                                       17

<PAGE>

original purchase price, the Series realizes a capital gain, or if it is less,
the Series realizes a capital loss. The transaction costs must also be included
in these calculations.

     LIMITATIONS. When purchasing a futures contract, a Series must maintain
with its custodian cash or cash equivalents (including any margin) equal to the
market value of such contract. When writing a call option on a futures contract,
the Series similarly will maintain with its custodian, cash or cash equivalents
(including any margin) equal to the amount such option is "in-the-money" until
the option expires or is closed out by the Series. A call option is "in-the-
money" if the value of the futures contract that is the subject of the option
exceeds the exercise price.

     A Series may not maintain open short positions in futures contracts or call
options written on futures contracts if, in the aggregate, the market value of
all such open positions exceeds the current value of its portfolio securities,
plus or minus unrealized gains and losses on the open positions, adjusted for
the historical relative volatility of the relationship between the Series and
the positions. For this purpose, to the extent the Series has written call
options on specific securities it owns, the value of those securities will be
deducted from the current market value of the securities portfolio.

     In compliance with the requirements of the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission ("CFTC") under which an investment company may engage in futures
transactions, the Trust will comply with certain regulations of the CFTC to
qualify for an exclusion from being a "commodity pool." The regulations require
that the Trust enter into futures and options (1) for "bona fide hedging"
purposes, without regard to the percentage of assets committed to initial margin
and options premiums, or (2) for other strategies, provided that the aggregate
initial margin and premiums required to establish such positions do not exceed
5% of the liquidation value of a Series' portfolio, after taking into account
unrealized profits and unrealized gains on any such contracts entered into.

OPTIONS ON SECURITIES AND SECURITIES INDEXES

   
     In pursuing their investment objectives, the Multiple Allocation, Fully
Managed, Limited Maturity Bond, Natural Resources, Real Estate, All-Growth,
Capital Appreciation, Emerging Markets, Value Equity, Strategic Equity and
Small Cap Series may engage in transactions on options on securities. The
Multiple Allocation Series, All-Growth Series, Emerging Markets, Value Equity,
Strategic Equity and Small Cap Series may engage in transactions on options on
securities indexes. The Market Manager Series may purchase put and call options
on securities and on securities indexes, but will not write such options. See
"Description of Securities and Investment Techniques" in the Prospectuses for
a description of the options transactions in which each Series may engage.
    

     PURCHASING OPTIONS ON SECURITIES. An option on a security is a contract
that gives the purchaser of the option, in return for the premium paid, the
right to buy a specified security (in the case of a call option) or to sell a
specified security (in the case of a put option) from or to the seller
("writer") of the option at a designated price during the term of the option. A
Series may purchase put options on securities to protect holdings in an
underlying or related security against a substantial decline in market value.
Securities are considered related if their price movements generally correlate
to one another. For example, the purchase of put options on debt securities held
by a Series would enable a Series to protect, at least partially, an unrealized
gain in an appreciated security without actually selling the security. In
addition, the Series would continue to receive interest income on such security.


                                       18
<PAGE>

     A Series may purchase call options on securities to protect against
substantial increases in prices of securities the Series intends to purchase
pending its ability to invest in such securities in an orderly manner. A Series
may sell put or call options it has previously purchased, which could result
in a net gain or loss depending on whether the amount realized on the sale is
more or less than the premium and other transactional costs paid on the put or
call option which is sold.

     WRITING COVERED CALL AND SECURED PUT OPTIONS. In order to earn additional
income on its portfolio securities or to protect partially against declines in
the value of such securities, a Series may write covered call options. The
exercise price of a call option may be below, equal to, or above the current
market value of the underlying security at the time the option is written.
During the option period, a covered call option writer may be assigned an
exercise notice by the broker-dealer through whom such call option was sold
requiring the writer to deliver the underlying security against payment of the
exercise price. This obligation is terminated upon the expiration of the option
period or at such earlier time in which the writer effects a closing purchase
transaction. Closing purchase transactions will ordinarily be effected to
realize a profit on an outstanding call option, to prevent an underlying
security from being called, to permit the sale of the underlying security, or to
enable the Series to write another call option on the underlying security with
either a different exercise price or expiration date or both.

     In order to earn additional income or to facilitate its ability to purchase
a security at a price lower than the current market price of such security, a
Series may write secured put options. During the option period, the writer of a
put option may be assigned an exercise notice by the broker-dealer through whom
the option was sold requiring the writer to purchase the underlying security at
the exercise price.

     A Series may write a call or put option only if the option is "covered" or
"secured" by the Series holding a position in the underlying securities. This
means that so long as the Series is obligated as the writer of a call option, it
will own the underlying securities subject to the option or if the Series holds
a call at the same exercise price, for the same exercise period, and on the same
securities as the written call. Alternatively, a Series may maintain, in a
segregated account with the Trust's custodian, cash, cash equivalents, or U.S.
Government securities with a value sufficient to meet its obligation as writer
of the option. A put is secured if the Series maintains cash, cash equivalents,
or U.S. Government securities with a value equal to the exercise price in a
segregated account, or holds a put on the same underlying security at an equal
or greater exercise price. Prior to exercise or expiration, an option may be
closed out by an offsetting purchase or sale of an option of the same series.

     OPTIONS ON SECURITIES INDEXES. Call and put options on securities indexes
also may be purchased or sold by the Series for the same purposes as the
purchase or sale of options on securities. The Market Manager Series may only
purchase options on securities indexes. Options on securities indexes are
similar to options on securities, except that the exercise of securities index
options requires cash payments and does not involve the actual purchase or sale
of securities. In addition, securities index options are designed to reflect
price fluctuations in a group of securities or segment of the securities market
rather than price fluctuations in a single security. When such options are
written, the Series is required to maintain a segregated account consisting of
cash, cash equivalents or high grade obligations or the Series must purchase a
like option of greater value that will expire no earlier than the option sold.
Purchased options may not enable the Series to hedge effectively against stock
market risk if they are not highly correlated with the value of the Series'


                                       19
<PAGE>

portfolio securities. Moreover, the ability to hedge effectively depends upon
the ability to predict movements in the stock market.

     GENERAL. If an option written by a Series expires unexercised, the Series
realizes a capital gain equal to the premium received at the time the option was
written. If an option purchased by a Series expires unexercised, the Series
realizes a capital loss equal to the premium paid.

     Prior to the earlier of exercise or expiration, an option may be closed out
by an offsetting purchase or sale of an option of the same series (type,
exchange, underlying security, exercise price, and expiration). There can be no
assurance, however, that a closing purchase or sale transaction can be effected
when the Series desires.

     A Series will realize a capital gain from a closing purchase transaction if
the cost of the closing option is less than the premium received from writing
the option, or if it is more, the Series will realize a capital loss. If the
premium received from a closing sale transaction is more than the premium paid
to purchase the option, the Series will realize a capital gain or, if it is
less, the Series will realize a capital loss. The principal factors affecting
the market value of a put or a call option include supply and demand, interest
rates, the current market price of the underlying security in relation to the
exercise price of the option, the volatility of the underlying security, and the
time remaining until the expiration date.

     The premium paid for a put or call option purchased by a Series is recorded
as an asset of the Series and subsequently adjusted. The premium received for an
option written by a Series is included in the Series' assets and an equal amount
is included in its liabilities. The value of an option purchased or written is
marked to market daily and valued at the closing price on the exchange on which
it is traded or, if not traded on an exchange or no closing price is available,
at the mean between the last bid and asked prices.

WHEN-ISSUED OR DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES

     All Series except the Market Manager Series may purchase securities on a
when-issued or delayed delivery basis if the Series holds, and maintains until
the settlement date in a segregated account, cash, U.S. Government securities,
or high-grade debt obligations in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase
price, or if the Series enters into offsetting contracts for the forward sale of
other securities it owns. Purchasing securities on a when-issued or delayed
delivery basis involves a risk of loss if the value of the security to be
purchased declines prior to the settlement date, which risk is in addition to
the risk of decline in value of the Series' other assets. Although a Series
would generally purchase securities on a when-issued basis or enter into forward
commitments with the intention of acquiring securities, the Series may dispose
of a when-issued or delayed delivery security prior to settlement if the
Portfolio Manager deems it appropriate to do so. The Series may realize short-
term profits or losses upon such sales.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

   
     The Multiple Allocation, Fully Managed, Natural Resources, Rising
Dividends, Emerging Markets, Value Equity, Strategic Equity and Small Cap
Series may enter into forward currency contracts and enter into currency
exchange transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) basis. A forward currency contract
is an obligation to purchase or sell a currency against another currency at a
future date and price as agreed upon by the parties. A Series may either accept
or make delivery of the
                                       20
<PAGE>

currency at the maturity of the forward contract or, prior to maturity, enter
into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting
contract. A Series will engage in forward currency transactions in anticipation
of or to protect itself against fluctuations in currency exchange rates. A
Series might sell a particular currency forward, for example, when it wanted to
hold bonds or bank obligations denominated in that currency but anticipated or
wished to be protected against a decline in the currency against the dollar.
Similarly, it might purchase a currency forward to "lock in" the dollar price
of securities denominated in that currency which it anticipated purchasing.
    

     A Series may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in two
circumstances. When a Series enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of
a security denominated in a foreign currency, the Series may desire to "lock in"
the U.S. dollar price of the security. By entering into a forward contract for a
fixed amount of dollars for the purchase or sale of the amount of foreign
currency involved in the underlying transactions, the Series will be able to
protect itself against a possible loss resulting from an adverse change in the
relationship between the U.S. dollar and such foreign currency during the period
between the date on which the security is purchased or sold and the date on
which payment is made or received.

     Second, when the Series' Portfolio Manager believes that the currency of a
particular foreign country may suffer a substantial decline against the U.S.
dollar, it may enter into a forward contract for a fixed amount of dollars to
sell the amount of foreign currency approximating the value of some or all of
the Series' portfolio securities denominated in such foreign currency. The
precise matching of the forward contract amounts and the value of the securities
involved will not generally be possible since the future value of securities in
foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements in the value
of these securities between the date on which the forward contract is entered
into and the date it matures. The projection of short-term currency market
movement is extremely difficult, and the successful execution of a short-term
hedging strategy is highly uncertain. None of the Series will enter into such
forward contracts or maintain a net exposure to such contracts where the
consummation of the contracts would obligate the Series to deliver an amount of
foreign currency in excess of the value of the Series' portfolio securities or
other assets denominated in that currency.

     At the maturity of a forward contract, a Series may either sell the
portfolio security and make delivery of the foreign currency, or it may retain
the security and terminate its contractual obligation to deliver the foreign
currency by purchasing an "offsetting" contract with the same currency trader
obligating it to purchase, on the same maturity date, the same amount of the
foreign currency.

     It is impossible to forecast the market value of a particular portfolio
security at the expiration of the contract. Accordingly, if a decision is made
to sell the security and make delivery of the foreign currency, it may be
necessary for the Series to purchase additional foreign currency on the spot
market (and bear the expense of such purchase) if the market value of the
security is less than the amount of foreign currency that the Series is
obligated to deliver.

     If the Series retains the portfolio security and engages in an offsetting
transaction, the Series will incur a gain or a loss (as described below) to the
extent that there has been movement in forward contract prices. Should forward
prices decline during the period between the Series' entering into a forward
contract for the sale of a foreign currency and the date it enters into an
offsetting contract for the purchase of the foreign currency, the Series will
realize a gain to the extent that the price of the currency it has agreed to
sell exceeds the price of the currency it has agreed to purchase. Should

                                       21

<PAGE>

forward prices increase, the Series will suffer a loss to the extent that the
price of the currency it has agreed to purchase exceeds the price of the
currency it has agreed to sell.

     Forward contracts are not traded on regulated commodities exchanges. There
can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when a Series seeks to close
out a forward currency position, and in such an event, a Series might not be
able to effect a closing purchase transaction at any particular time. In
addition, a Series entering into a forward foreign currency contract incurs the
risk of default by the counter party to the transaction. The CFTC has indicated
that it may in the future assert jurisdiction over certain types of forward
contracts in foreign currencies and attempt to prohibit certain entities from
engaging in such foreign currency forward transactions.

     For more information on forward currency contracts, including limits upon
the Series with respect to such contracts, see "Foreign Currency Transactions"
in The GCG Trust Prospectus.

OPTIONS ON FOREIGN CURRENCIES

   
     The Multiple Allocation, Natural Resources, Emerging Markets, Value Equity,
Strategic Equity and Small Cap Series may engage in transactions in options on
foreign currencies. A call option on a foreign currency gives the buyer the
right to buy, and a put option the right to sell, a certain amount of foreign
currency at a specified price during a fixed period of time. Currently, options
are traded on the following foreign currencies on a domestic exchange: British
Pound, Canadian Dollar, German Mark, Japanese Yen, French Franc, and Swiss
Franc. A Series may enter into closing sale transactions with respect to such
options, exercise them, or permit them to expire.
    

     A Series may employ hedging strategies with options on currencies before
the Series purchases a foreign security denominated in the hedged currency that
the Series anticipates acquiring, during the period the Series holds the foreign
security, or between the date the foreign security is purchased or sold and the
date on which payment therefor is made or received.

     In those situations where foreign currency options may not be readily
purchased (or where such options may be deemed illiquid) in the currency in
which the hedge is desired, the hedge may be obtained by purchasing or selling
an option on a "surrogate" currency, i.e., a currency where there is tangible
evidence of a direct correlation in the trading value of the two currencies. A
surrogate currency is a currency that can act, for hedging purposes, as a
substitute for a particular currency because the surrogate currency's exchange
rate movements parallel that of the primary currency. Surrogate currencies are
used to hedge an illiquid currency risk, when no liquid hedge instruments exist
in world currency markets for the primary currency.

                          INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

     Each Series' investment objective as set forth under "Investment Objectives
and Policies" in the Prospectus, together with the investment restrictions set
forth below, are, unless otherwise noted, fundamental policies of each Series
and may not be changed with respect to any Series without the approval of a
majority of the outstanding voting shares of that Series. The vote of a majority
of the outstanding voting securities of a Series means the vote, at an annual or
special meeting, of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting securities
present at such meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding
voting securities of such Series are present or represented by proxy; or (b)
more

                                       22
<PAGE>

than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of such Series. Under these
restrictions, a Series may not:

     (1) Invest in a security if, with respect to 75% of its total assets, more
     than 5% of the total assets (taken at market value at the time of such
     investment) would be invested in the securities of any one issuer, except
     that this restriction does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by
     the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities, and except that
     this restriction shall not apply to the Market Manager Series;


     (2) Invest in a security if, with respect to 75% of its assets, it would
     hold more than 10% (taken at the time of such investment) of the
     outstanding voting securities of any one issuer, except securities issued
     or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, or its agencies or instrumentalities;

     (3) Invest in a security if more than 25% of its total assets (taken at
     market value at the time of such investment) would be invested in the
     securities of issuers in any particular industry, except that this
     restriction does not apply: (a) to securities issued or guaranteed by the
     U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities (or repurchase
     agreements with respect thereto), (b) with respect to the Liquid Asset

     to the restrictions described in the Prospectus and in the Statement of
     Additional Information, purchase securities on margin;

     connection with the disposition of portfolio securities, a Series may be
     deemed to be an underwriter under the federal securities laws;

     Information;

     (10) Borrow money or pledge, mortgage, or hypothecate its assets, except
     that a Series may: (a) borrow from banks, but only if immediately after
     each borrowing and continuing thereafter there is asset coverage of 300%;
     and (b) enter into reverse repurchase agreements and transactions in

     pledges of a Series' assets);

     (11) With respect to the Multiple Allocation, Fully Managed, Limited
     Maturity Bond, Natural Resources, Real Estate, All-Growth, Capital
     Appreciation, and Liquid Asset Series, invest in securities that are
     illiquid because they are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on
     resale, in repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days, or other
     securities which in the determination of the Portfolio Manager are illiquid

     the Series (taken at market value at the time of such investment) would be
     invested in such securities;

     (12) Purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts (which, for the
     purpose of this restriction, shall not include foreign currency or forward
     foreign currency contracts), except:

          (a) any Series may engage in interest rate futures contracts, stock
          index futures contracts, futures contracts based on other financial
          instruments, and on options on such futures contracts;

                                       24
<PAGE>

          (b) the Natural Resources Series may invest in gold bullion and coins
          and other precious metals bullion and engage in futures contracts with
          respect to such commodities; and

          (c) the Multiple Allocation, Natural Resources and Strategic Equity
          Securities Series may engage in futures contracts on gold; and

     (13) Invest in puts, calls, straddles, spreads, or any combination thereof,
     provided that this restriction does not apply to puts that are a feature of
     variable or floating rate securities or to puts that are a feature of other
     corporate debt securities, and except that any Series may engage in
     transactions in options, futures contracts, and options on futures.

   
     The Rising Dividends Series, Emerging Markets Series, Value Equity Series,
Strategic Equity Series, Small Cap Series, and Market Manager Series are also
subject to the following restrictions and policies that are not fundamental and
may, therefore, be changed by the Board of Trustees (without shareholder

     Series, which may make short sales within the limitations described in the
     Prospectus and elsewhere in this Statement of Additional Information); and
    

     (2) Invest in securities that are illiquid because they are subject to
     legal or contractual restrictions on resale, in repurchase agreements
     maturing in more than seven days, or other securities which in the
     determination of the Portfolio Manager are illiquid if, as a result of such
     investment, more than 15% of the total assets of the Series (taken at
     market value at the time of such investment) would be invested in such
     securities.

THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

     Directed Services, Inc. ("DSI" or the "Manager") serves as Manager to the
Series pursuant to a Management Agreement (the "Management Agreement") between
the Manager and the Trust.  DSI's address is 280 Park Avenue, New York, New York
10017.  DSI is a New York corporation that is a wholly owned subsidiary of BT
Variable, Inc. which, in turn, is an indirect subsidiary of Bankers Trust
Company. DSI is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an
investment adviser and a broker-dealer. The Trust currently offers the shares
of its operating Series to, among others, separate accounts of Golden American
Life Insurance Company ("Golden American") to serve as the investment medium for
Variable Contracts issued by Golden American. DSI is the principal underwriter
and distributor of the Variable Contracts issued by Golden American. Golden
American is a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of the State
of Delaware. Prior to December 30, 1993, Golden American was a Minnesota
corporation. Golden American is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Bankers
Trust Company.

     Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager, subject to the direction
of the Board of Trustees, is responsible for providing all supervisory,
management, and administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation
of the Trust and its Series other than the investment advisory services
performed by the Portfolio Managers. These services include, but are not limited
to, (i) coordinating all matters relating to the operation of the Series,
including any necessary coordination among the Series' Portfolio Managers,
Custodian, Dividend Disbursing Agent, Portfolio Accounting Agent (including
pricing and valuation of the Series' portfolios), accountants, attorneys, and
other parties performing services or operational functions for the Trust; (ii)
providing the Trust and the Series, at the Manager's expense, with the services
of a sufficient number of persons competent to perform such administrative and
clerical functions as are necessary to ensure compliance with federal securities
laws and to provide effective supervision and administration of the Trust; (iii)
maintaining or supervising the maintenance by third parties selected by the
Manager of such books and records of the Trust and the Series as may be required
by applicable federal or state law; (iv) preparing or supervising the
preparation by third parties selected by the Manager of all federal, state, and
local tax returns and reports of the Trust relating to the Series required by
applicable law; (v) preparing and filing and arranging for the distribution of
proxy materials and periodic reports to shareholders of the Series as required
by applicable law in connection with the Series; (vi) preparing and arranging
for the filing of such registration statements and other documents with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and other federal and state regulatory
authorities as may be required by applicable law in connection with the Series;
(vii) taking such other action with respect to the Trust, as may be required by
applicable law, including without limitation the rules and regulations of the
SEC and other regulatory agencies; and (viii) providing the Trust at the
Manager's expense, with adequate personnel, office space, communications
facilities, and other facilities necessary for operation of the Series
contemplated in the Management Agreement. Other responsibilities of the Manager
are described in the Prospectus.

     The Manager shall make its officers and employees available to the Board of
Trustees and Officers of the Trust for consultation and discussions regarding
the supervision and administration of the Series.

     Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager is authorized to exercise
full investment discretion and make all determinations with respect to the
investment of a Series' assets and the purchase and sale of portfolio securities
for one or more Series in the event that at any time no Portfolio Manager is
engaged to manage the assets of such Series.

                                       28
<PAGE>

     The Management Agreement shall continue in effect until October 1, 1995,
and from year to year thereafter, provided such continuance after October 1,
1995 is approved annually by (i) the holders of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Trust or by the Board of Trustees, and (ii) a majority
of the Trustees who are not parties to such Management Agreement or "interested
persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act")) of
any such party. The Management Agreement, dated October 1, 1993, was approved by
shareholders at a meeting held on August 31, 1993, and was last approved by the
Board of Trustees, including the Trustees who are not parties to the Management
Agreement or interested persons of such parties, at a meeting held on September
27, 1994. The Management Agreement may be terminated without penalty by vote of
the Trustees or the shareholders of the Series or by the Manager, on 60 days'
written notice by either party to the Management Agreement, and will terminate
automatically if assigned as that term is described in the 1940 Act.

     Prior to October 1, 1993, DSI served as manager to the then operational
Series pursuant to a management agreement that was effective as of September 30,
1992. The Manager's fees for supervisory and management services under the prior
management agreement were 0.20% of the average daily net assets of each of the
Series, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly. Under the prior management
agreement, the Manager was not responsible, as it is under the current
Management Agreement, for providing or procuring services necessary for the
ordinary operation of the Series, including portfolio management, custodial,
administrative, transfer agency, portfolio accounting, dividend disbursing,
auditing and ordinary legal expenses.

     Prior to September 30, 1992, DSI served as manager to the operational
Series pursuant to a management agreement that was effective as of March 21,
1991, and, with respect to the Capital Appreciation Series, pursuant to an
addendum to such management agreement. This agreement terminated automatically
on September 30, 1992, upon the acquisition of DSI by BT Variable, Inc. The fees
under such agreement were identical to those fees paid under the management
agreement dated September 30, 1992.

     Gross fees paid to the Manager under the current Management Agreement
(pursuant to which the Manager provides all services reasonably necessary for
the operation of the Trust) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 were as

management fee payable to the Manager for the Market Manager Series for the
fiscal period November 14, 1994 to December 31, 1994 was waived by the Manager.
Gross fees paid to the Manager for the period October 1, 1993 to December 31,
1993 were as follows: Multiple Allocation Series -- $641,069, Fully Managed

     Prior to September 30, 1992, the Portfolio Managers served as portfolio
managers to the operational Series pursuant to portfolio management agreements
that were effective prior to that date. The fees payable to the Portfolio
Managers for advisory services to certain of Series under the prior portfolio
management agreements in effect until September 30, 1992 varied from the fees
provided in the current Portfolio Management Agreements. The prior portfolio
management agreements have been deemed by the Trust to have terminated upon the
acquisition of DSI by BT Variable, Inc.

to October 1, 1993, the Trust bore the expenses of portfolio management fees.
Pursuant to the addenda to the Portfolio Management Agreements, the Manager (and
not the Trust) pays each Portfolio Manager for its services a monthly fee at
annual rates which are expressed as percentages of the average daily net assets

not the Trust) paid the Portfolio Managers the following amounts: Zweig Advisors
Inc. -- $1,656,915 for the Multiple Allocation Series; Weiss, Peck & Greer
Advisers, Inc. -- $734,134 for the Fully Managed Series; Bankers Trust Company

DISTRIBUTION OF TRUST SHARES

     Directed Services, Inc. ("DSI") serves as the Series' Distributor. DSI is
not obligated to sell a specific amount of the Series' shares. DSI bears all
expenses of providing distribution services including the costs of sales
presentations, mailings, advertising, and any other marketing efforts by DSI in
connection with the distribution or sale of the shares.

PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS

     For information on purchase and redemption of shares, see "Purchase of
Shares" and "Redemption of Shares" in the Prospectuses. The Trust may suspend
the right of redemption of shares of any Series and may postpone payment beyond
seven days for any period: (i) during which the New York Stock Exchange is
closed other than customary weekend and holiday closing or during which trading
on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted; (ii) when the Securities and
Exchange Commission determines that a state of emergency exists which may make
payment or transfer not reasonably practicable; (iii) as the Securities and
Exchange Commission may by order permit for the protection of the security
holders of the Trust; or (iv) at any other time when the Trust may, under
applicable laws and regulations, suspend payment on the redemption of its
shares. If the Board of Trustees should determine that it would be detrimental
to the best interests of the remaining shareholders of a Series to make payment
wholly or partly in cash, the Series may pay the redemption price in whole or in
part by a distribution in kind of securities from the portfolio of the Series,
in lieu of cash, in conformity with applicable rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. If shares are redeemed in kind, the redeeming shareholder
might incur brokerage costs in converting the assets into cash.

                      PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND BROKERAGE

INVESTMENT DECISIONS

     Investment decisions for each Series are made by the Portfolio Manager of
each Series. Each Portfolio Manager has investment advisory clients other than
the Series. A particular security may be bought or sold by a Portfolio Manager
for certain clients even though it could have been bought or sold for other
clients at the same time. It also sometimes happens that two or more clients
simultaneously purchase or sell the same security, in which event each day's
transactions in such security are, insofar as possible, allocated between such
clients in a manner deemed fair and reasonable by the Portfolio Manager.
Although there is no specified formula for allocating such transactions, the
various allocation methods used by the Portfolio Manager, and the results of
such allocations, are subject to periodic review by the Trust's Manager and
Board of Trustees. There may
                                       33

<PAGE>

be circumstances when purchases or sales of portfolio securities for one or
more clients will have an adverse effect on other clients.

BROKERAGE AND RESEARCH SERVICES

     The Portfolio Manager for a Series places all orders for the purchase and
sale of portfolio securities, options, and futures contracts for a Series
through a substantial number of brokers and dealers or futures commission
merchants. In executing transactions, the Portfolio Manager will attempt to
obtain the best execution for a Series taking into account such factors as price
(including the applicable brokerage commission or dollar spread), size of order,
the nature of the market for the security, the timing of the transaction, the
reputation, experience and financial stability of the broker-dealer involved,
the quality of the service, the difficulty of execution and operational
facilities of the firms involved, and the firm's risk in positioning a block of
securities. In transactions on stock exchanges in the United States, payments of
brokerage commissions are negotiated. In effecting purchases and sales of
portfolio securities in transactions on United States stock exchanges for the
account of the Trust, the Portfolio Manager may pay higher commission rates than
the lowest available when the Portfolio Manager believes it is reasonable to do
so in light of the value of the brokerage and research services provided by the
broker effecting the transaction, as described below. In the case of securities
traded on some foreign stock exchanges, brokerage commissions may be fixed and
the Portfolio Manager may be unable to negotiate commission rates for these
transactions. In the case of securities traded on the over-the-counter markets,
there is generally no stated commission, but the price includes an undisclosed
commission or markup.

     There is generally no stated commission in the case of fixed-income
securities, which are generally traded in the over-the-counter markets, but the
price paid by the Series usually includes an undisclosed dealer commission or
mark-up. In underwritten offerings, the price paid by the Series includes a
disclosed, fixed commission or discount retained by the underwriter or dealer.
Transactions on U.S. stock exchanges and other agency transactions involve the
payment by the Series of negotiated brokerage commissions. Such commissions vary
among different brokers. Also, a particular broker may charge different
commissions according to such factors as the difficulty and size of the
transaction.

     It has for many years been a common practice in the investment advisory
business for advisers of investment companies and other institutional investors
to receive research services from broker-dealers which execute portfolio
transactions for the clients of such advisers. Consistent with this practice,
the Portfolio Manager for a Series may receive research services from many
broker-dealers with which the Portfolio Manager places the Series' portfolio
transactions. These services, which in some cases may also be purchased for
cash, include such matters as general economic and security market reviews,
industry and company reviews, evaluations of securities and recommendations as
to the purchase and sale of securities. Some of these services may be of value
to the Portfolio Manager and its affiliates in advising its various clients
(including the Series), although not all of these services are necessarily
useful and of value in managing a Series. The advisory fee paid by the Series to
the Portfolio Manager is not reduced because the Portfolio Manager and its
affiliates receive such services.

     As permitted by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Portfolio Manager may cause a Series to pay a broker-dealer, which provides
"brokerage and research services" (as defined in the Act) to the Portfolio
Manager, a disclosed commission for effecting a

                                       34
<PAGE>

securities transaction for the Series in excess of the commission which another
broker-dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction.

     A Portfolio Manager may place orders for the purchase and sale of exchange-
listed portfolio securities with a broker-dealer that is an affiliate of the
Portfolio Manager where, in the judgment of the Portfolio Manager, such firm
will be able to obtain a price and execution at least as favorable as other
qualified brokers.

     Pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a broker-
dealer that is an affiliate of the Manager or a Portfolio Manager or, if it is
also a broker-dealer, the Portfolio Manager may receive and retain compensation
for effecting portfolio transactions for a Series on a national securities
exchange of which the broker-dealer is a member if the transaction is "executed"
on the floor of the exchange by another broker which is not an "associated
person" of the affiliated broker-dealer or Portfolio Manager, and if there is
in effect a written contract between the Portfolio Manager and the Trust
expressly permitting the affiliated broker-dealer or Portfolio Manager to
receive and retain such compensation. The Portfolio Management Agreements
provide that each Portfolio Manager may retain compensation on transactions
effected for a Series in accordance with the terms of these rules. The Fully
Managed Series and Rising Dividends Series currently intend to use a broker-
dealer that is an affiliate of the Portfolio Manager.

     Securities and Exchange Commission rules further require that commissions
paid to such an affiliated broker-dealer or Portfolio Manager by a Series on
exchange transactions not exceed "usual and customary brokerage commissions."
The rules define "usual and customary" commissions to include amounts which are
"reasonable and fair compared to the commission, fee or other remuneration
received or to be received by other brokers in connection with comparable
transactions involving similar securities being purchased or sold on a
securities exchange during a comparable period of time." The Board of Trustees
has adopted procedures for evaluating the reasonableness of commissions paid to
broker-dealers that are affiliated with Portfolio Managers or to Portfolio
Managers that are broker-dealers and will review these procedures periodically.
BT Brokerage Corporation, Watermark Securities, Inc., Zweig Securities Corp., KA
Associates, Inc., Counsellors Securities Inc., Raymond James & Associates,
Inc., and Fred Alger & Company, Incorporated are registered broker-dealers,
and each is an affiliate of a Portfolio Manager. Certain affiliates of Robert
Fleming Holdings Limited and Jardine Fleming Group Limited are broker-dealers
affiliated with T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. Any of the above firms may
retain compensation on transactions effected for a Series in accordance with
these rules and procedures.

     During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, the Multiple Allocation
Series, Fully Managed Series, Natural Resources Series, Real Estate Series, All-
Growth Series, Capital Appreciation Series, Rising Dividends Series, Emerging
Markets Series, and Market Manager Series paid brokerage commissions of
$301,480, $157,580, $69,954, $69,376, $260,691, $183,029, $106,828, $589,210,
and $975, respectively. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993, the
Multiple Allocation Series, Fully Managed Series, Natural Resources Series, Real
Estate Series, All-Growth Series, and Capital Appreciation Series paid brokerage
commissions of $265,151, $119,201, $42,006, $54,079, $30,669, and $157,757,
respectively. During the fiscal period from October 4, 1993 (commencement of
operations) to December 31, 1993, the Rising Dividends Series and Emerging
Markets Series paid brokerage commissions of $29,028 and $77,618, respectively.
The Fully Managed Series paid brokerage commissions of $68,311 (57.3% of its
total brokerage commissions) to Weiss, Peck & Greer Advisers, Inc. The Multiple
Allocation Series paid brokerage commissions of $49,242 (18.6% of its total
brokerage commissions) to
                                       35
<PAGE>

Watermark Securities, Inc. The Rising Dividends Series paid brokerage
commissions of $20,641 (71.1% of its total brokerage commissions) to KA
Associates, Inc. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1992, the Multiple
Allocation Series, Fully Managed Series, Natural Resources Series, Real Estate
Series, All-Growth Series, and Capital Appreciation Series paid brokerage
commissions of $97,955, $36,607, $1,948, $4,157, $6,000, and $20,494,
respectively. The Fully Managed Series paid brokerage commissions of $33,597
(92% of its total brokerage commissions) to Weiss, Peck & Greer Advisers, Inc.
The Multiple Allocation Series paid brokerage commissions of $8,977 (9% of its
total brokerage commissions) to Watermark Securities, Inc.

                                 NET ASSET VALUE

     As indicated under "Net Asset Value" in the Prospectuses, the Series' net
asset value per share for the purpose of pricing purchase and redemption orders
is determined at or about 4:00 P.M., New York City time, on each day the New
York Stock Exchange is open for trading, exclusive of federal holidays.

     The Liquid Asset Series' portfolio securities are valued using the
amortized cost method of valuation. This involves valuing a security at cost on
the date of acquisition and thereafter assuming a constant accretion of a
discount or amortization of a premium to maturity, regardless of the impact of
fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instrument. While this
method provides certainty in valuation, it may result in periods during which
value, as determined by amortized cost, is higher or lower than the price the
Series would receive if it sold the instrument. During such periods the yield to
investors in the Series may differ somewhat from that obtained in a similar
investment company which uses available market quotations to value all of its
portfolio securities.

     The Securities and Exchange Commission's regulations require the Liquid
Asset Series to adhere to certain conditions. The Trustees, as part of their
responsibility within the overall duty of care owed to the shareholders, are
required to establish procedures reasonably designed, taking into account
current market conditions and the Series' investment objectives, to stabilize
the net asset value per share as computed for the purpose of distribution and
redemption at $1.00 per share. The Trustees' procedures include a requirement to
periodically monitor, as appropriate and at such intervals as are reasonable in
light of current market conditions, the relationship between the amortized cost
value per share and the net asset value per share based upon available
indications of market value. The Trustees will consider what steps should be
taken, if any, in the event of a difference of more than 1/2 of 1% between the
two. The Trustees will take such steps as they consider appropriate (e.g.,
selling securities to shorten the average portfolio maturity) to minimize any
material dilution or other unfair results which might arise from differences
between the two. The Series also is required to maintain a dollar-weighted
average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less, to limit its investments to
instruments having remaining maturities of 13 months or less (except securities
held subject to repurchase agreements having 13 months or less to maturity) and
to invest only in securities determined by the Portfolio Manager under
procedures established by the Board of Trustees to be of high quality with
minimal credit risks.

                             PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

     The Trust may, from time to time, include the current yield and effective
yield of its Liquid Asset Series, the yield of the remaining Series, and the
total return of all Series in advertisements or sales literature. In the case of
Variable Contracts, performance information for the Series will not be

                                       36
<PAGE>

advertised or included in sales literature unless accompanied by comparable
performance information for a separate account to which the Series offer their
shares.

     Current yield for Liquid Asset Series will be based on the change in the
value of a hypothetical investment (exclusive of capital charges) over a
particular seven-day period, less a pro-rata share of Series expenses accrued
over that period (the "base period"), and stated as a percentage of the
investment at the start of the base period (the "base period return"). The base
period return is then annualized by multiplying by 365/7, with the resulting
yield figure carried to at least the nearest hundredth of one percent.
"Effective yield" for the Liquid Asset Series assumes that all dividends
received during an annual period have been reinvested. Calculation of "effective
yield" begins with the same "base period return" used in the calculation of
yield, which is then annualized to reflect weekly compounding pursuant to the
following formula:

          Effective Yield = [ ( (Base Period Return) + 1 )(365/7)] - 1

     Quotations of yield for the remaining Series will be based on all
investment income per share earned during a particular 30-day period (including
dividends and interest and calculated in accordance with a standardized yield
formula adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission), less expenses
accrued during the period ("net investment income"), and are computed by
dividing net investment income by the maximum offering price per share on the
last day of the period, according to the following formula:

                      YIELD  =  2 [ (a - b  +  1 )(6) - 1 ]
                                     -----
                                       cd
     where,
          a = dividends and interest earned during the period,
          b = expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements),
          c = the average daily number of shares outstanding during the period
          that were entitled to receive dividends, and
          d = the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the
          period.

     Quotations of average annual total return for a Series will be expressed in
terms of the average annual compounded rate of return of a hypothetical
investment in the Series over certain periods that will include periods of one,
five, and ten years (or, if less, up to the life of the Series), calculated
pursuant to the following formula: P (1 + T)(n) = ERV (where P = a hypothetical
initial payment of $1,000, T = the average annual total return, n = the number
of years, and ERV = the ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment
made at the beginning of the period). Quotations of total return may also be
shown for other periods. All total return figures reflect the deduction of a
proportional share of Series expenses on an annual basis, and assume that all
dividends and distributions are reinvested when paid.

     For the period of January 3, 1989 (inception of the Trust) to December 31,
1994 and for the five- and one-year periods ended December 31, 1994, the average
annual total return for each Series was as follows: 7.46%, 7.06%, and -1.18% for
the Multiple Allocation Series; 5.51%, 5.76%, and -7.27% for the Fully Managed
Series; 6.45%, 5.72%, and -1.19% for the Limited Maturity Bond Series; 3.91%,
3.21%, and -10.77% for the All-Growth Series; 6.95%, 8.57%, and 6.34% for the
Real Estate Series; 6.93%, 4.58%, and 2.53% for the Natural Resources Series;

                                       37

and 5.31%, 4.56%, and 3.89% for the Liquid Asset Series. For the period of May
4, 1992 (inception of the Capital Appreciation Series) to December 31, 1994 and
the one-year period ended December 31, 1994, the average total return for the
Capital Appreciation Series was 6.46% and -1.59%. For the period of October 1,
1993 (inception of the Rising Dividends and Emerging Markets Series) to December
31, 1994 and the one-year period ended December 31, 1994, the average total
return for the Rising Dividends Series was 3.02% and 0.59% and the average
annual total return for the Emerging Markets Series was 4.43% and -15.18%. For
the period of November 14, 1994 (inception of the Market Manager Series) to
December 31, 1994, the average total return for the Market Manager Series was
0.44%.

     Performance information for a Series may be compared, in advertisements,
sales literature, and reports to shareholders to: (i) the Standard & Poor's 500
Stock Index ("S & P 500"), the Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DJIA"), the Lehman
Brothers Government Bond Index, the Donoghue Money Market Institutional
Averages, the Lehman Brothers Government Corporate Index, the Salomon High Yield
Index, or other indices that measure performance of a pertinent group of
securities, (ii) other groups of mutual funds tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc., a widely used independent research firm which ranks mutual funds
by overall performance, investment objectives, and assets, or tracked by other
services, companies, publications, or persons who rank mutual funds on overall
performance or other criteria; and (iii) the Consumer Price Index (measure for
inflation) to assess the real rate of return from an investment in the Series.
Unmanaged indices may assume the reinvestment of dividends but generally do not
reflect deductions for administrative and management costs and expenses.

     Reports and promotional literature may also contain other information
including (i) the ranking of any Series derived from rankings of mutual funds or
other investment products tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. or by
other rating services, companies, publications, or other persons who rank mutual
funds or other investment products on overall performance or other criteria, and
(ii) the effect of tax deferred compounding on a Series' investment returns, or
returns in general, which may be illustrated by graphs, charts, or otherwise,
and which may include a comparison, at various points in time, of the return
from an investment in a Series (or returns in general) on a tax-deferred basis
(assuming one or more tax rates) with the return on a taxable basis.

     In addition, reports and promotional literature may contain information
concerning the Manager, the Portfolio Managers, or affiliates of the Trust, the
Manager, or the Portfolio Managers, including (i) performance rankings of other
mutual funds managed by a Portfolio Manager, or the individuals employed by a
Portfolio Manager who exercise responsibility for the day-to-day management of a
Series, including rankings of mutual funds published by Morningstar, Inc., Value
Line Mutual Fund Survey, or other rating services, companies, publications, or
other persons who rank mutual funds or other investment products on overall
performance or other criteria; (ii) lists of clients, the number of clients, or
assets under management; and (iii) information regarding services rendered by
the Manager to the Trust, including information related to the selection and
monitoring of the Portfolio Managers. Reports and promotional literature may
also contain a description of the type of investor for whom it could be
suggested that a Series is intended, based upon each Series' investment
objectives.

     In the case of Variable Contracts, quotations of yield or total return for
a Series will not take into account charges and deductions against any Separate
Accounts to which the Series shares are sold or charges and deductions against
the life insurance policies or annuity contracts issued by Golden American,
although comparable performance information for the Separate Account will take

                                       38
<PAGE>

such charges into account. Performance information for any Series reflects only
the performance of a hypothetical investment in the Series during the particular
time period on which the calculations are based. Performance information should
be considered in light of the Series' investment objective or objectives and
investment policies, the characteristics and quality of the portfolios, and the
market conditions during the given time period, and should not be considered as
a representation of what may be achieved in the future.

                                    TAXATION

     The following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal tax considerations
incident to an investment in a Series.

     Each Series intends to qualify annually and to elect to be treated as a
regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code").

     To qualify as a regulated investment company, each Series generally must,
among other things: (i) derive in each taxable year at least 90% of its gross
income from dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities loans, and
gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign
currencies, or other income derived with respect to its business of investing in
such stock, securities, or currencies (to satisfy this requirement, it is
intended that the Series investing in gold and other commodities will be managed
so that the gross income derived from its investments in gold and other
commodities and future contracts on gold and other commodities, when combined
with any other gross income of the Series which is not derived from qualifying
sources, will not exceed 10% of the Series' gross income during any fiscal
year); (ii) derive in each taxable year less than 30% of its gross income from
the sale or other disposition of certain assets held less than three months
(namely (a) stock or securities, (b) options, futures, and forward contracts
(other than those on foreign currencies), and (c) foreign currencies (including
options, futures, and forward contracts on such currencies) not directly related
to a Series' principal business of investing in stocks or securities (or options
and futures with respect to stocks and securities)); (iii) diversify its
holdings so that, at the end of each quarter of the taxable year, (a) at least
50% of the market value of the Series' assets is represented by cash, cash
items, U.S. Government securities, the securities of other regulated investment
companies, and other securities, with such other securities of any one issuer
limited for the purposes of this calculation to an amount not greater than 5% of
the value of the Series' total assets and 10% of the outstanding voting
securities of such issuer, and (b) not more than 25% of the value of its total
assets is invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S.
Government securities or the securities of other regulated investment
companies), or of two or more issuers which the Series controls (as that term is
defined in the relevant provisions of the Code) and which are determined to be
engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses or related trades or
businesses; and (iv) distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable
income (which includes, among other items, dividends, interest, and net short-
term capital gains in excess of any net long-term capital losses) each taxable
year.

     A Series qualifying as a regulated investment company generally will not be
subject to U.S. federal income tax on its investment company taxable income and
net capital gains (any net long-term capital gains in excess of the net short-
term capital losses), if any, that it distributes to shareholders. Each Series
intends to distribute to its shareholders, at least annually, substantially all
of its investment company taxable income and any net capital gains.

                                       39
<PAGE>

    Generally, regulated investment companies, like the Series, must distribute
amounts on a timely basis in accordance with a calendar year distribution
requirement in order to avoid a nondeductible 4% excise tax. Generally, to avoid
the tax, a regulated investment company must distribute during each calendar
year, an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income (not
taking into account any capital gains or losses) for the calendar year, (ii) 98%
of its capital gains in excess of its capital losses (adjusted for certain
ordinary losses) for the twelve-month period ending on October 31 of the
calendar year, and (iii) all ordinary income and capital gains for previous
years that were not distributed during such years. To avoid application of the
excise tax, each Series intends to make its distributions in accordance with
the calendar year distribution requirement. A distribution is treated as paid
on December 31 of the calendar year if it is declared by a Series in October,
November, or December of that year to shareholders of record on a date in such
a month and paid by the Series during January of the following calendar year.
Such distributions are taxable to shareholders in the calendar year in which the
distributions are declared, rather than the calendar year in which the
distributions are received. The excise tax provisions described above do not
apply to a regulated investment company, like a Series, all of whose
shareholders at all times during the calendar year are (i) segregated asset
accounts of life insurance companies where the shares are held in connection
with variable contracts or (ii) tax-exempt retirement trusts described in Code
Section 401(a). (For this purpose, any shares of a Series attributable to an
investment in the Series not exceeding $250,000 made in connection with the
organization of the Series shall not be taken into account.) Accordingly, if
this condition regarding the ownership of shares of a Series is met, the excise
tax will be inapplicable to that Series.

     Some of the Series may invest in stocks of foreign companies that are
classified under the Code as passive foreign investment companies ("PFICs"). In
general, a foreign company is classified as a PFIC if at least one-half of its
assets constitutes investment-type assets or 75% or more of its gross income is
investment-type income. Under the PFIC rules, an "excess distribution" received
with respect to PFIC stock is treated as having been realized ratably over the
period during which a Series held the PFIC stock. A Series itself will be
subject to tax on the portion, if any, of the excess distribution that is
allocated to a Series' holding period in prior taxable years (an interest factor
will be added to the tax, as if the tax had actually been payable in such prior
taxable years) even though a Series distributes the corresponding income to
shareholders. Excess distributions include any gain from the sale of PFIC stock
as well as certain distributions from a PFIC. All excess distributions are
taxable as ordinary income.

     A Series may be able to elect alternative tax treatment with respect to
PFIC stock. Under an election that currently may be available, a Series
generally would be required to include in its gross income its share of the
earnings of a PFIC on a current basis, regardless of whether any distributions
are received from the PFIC. If this election is made, the special rules,
discussed above, relating to the taxation of excess distributions, would not
apply. In addition, another election may be available that would involve marking
to market a Series' PFIC stock at the end of each taxable year (and on certain
other dates prescribed in the Code), with the result that unrealized gains are
treated as though they were realized. If this election were made, tax at the
Series level under the PFIC rules would be eliminated, but a Series could, in
limited circumstances, incur nondeductible interest charges. A Series' intention
to qualify annually as a regulated investment company may limit a Series'
elections with respect to PFIC stock.

     Because the application of the PFIC rules may affect, among other things,
the character of gains, the amount of gain or loss and the timing of the
recognition of income with respect to PFIC stock, as well as subject a Series
itself to tax on certain income from PFIC stock, the amount that

                                       40
<PAGE>

must be distributed to shareholders, and which will be taxed to shareholders as
ordinary income or long-term capital gain, may be increased or decreased
substantially as compared to a fund that did not invest in PFIC stock.

     Certain options, futures contracts, and forward contracts in which a Series
may invest are "Section 1256 contracts." Gains or losses on Section 1256
contracts generally are considered 60% long-term and 40% short-term capital
gains or losses; however, foreign currency gains or losses arising from certain
Section 1256 contracts may be treated as ordinary income or loss. Also, Section
1256 contracts held by a Series at the end of each taxable year (and at certain
other times as prescribed pursuant to the Code) are "marked to market" with the
result that unrealized gains or losses are treated as though they were realized.

     Generally, the hedging transactions undertaken by a Series may result in
"straddles" for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The straddle rules may affect
the character of gains (or losses) realized by a Series. In addition, losses
realized by a Series on positions that are part of a straddle may be deferred
under the straddle rules, rather than being taken into account in calculating
the taxable income for the taxable year in which such losses are realized.
Because only a few regulations implementing the straddle rules have been
promulgated, the tax consequences to a Series of hedging transactions are not
entirely clear. The hedging transactions may increase the amount of short-term
capital gain realized by a Series which is taxed as ordinary income when
distributed to shareholders.

     A Series may make one or more of the elections available under the Code
which are applicable to straddles. If a Series makes any of the elections, the
amount, character and timing of the recognition of gains or losses from the
affected straddle positions will be determined under rules that vary according
to the election(s) made. The rules applicable under certain of the elections may
operate to accelerate the recognition of gains or losses from the affected
straddle positions.

     Because application of the straddle rules may affect the character of gains
or losses, defer losses and/or accelerate the recognition of gains or losses
from the affected straddle positions, the amount which must be distributed to
shareholders, and which will be taxed to shareholders as ordinary income or
long-term capital gain, may be increased or decreased as compared to a fund that
did not engage in such hedging transactions.

     Income received by a Series from sources within a foreign country may be
subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by that country. Tax conventions
between certain countries and the U.S. may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

     Under the Code, gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in exchange
rates which occur between the time a Series of the Trust accrues income or other
receivables or accrues expenses or other liabilities denominated in a foreign
currency and the time that Series actually collects such receivables or pays
such liabilities generally are treated as ordinary income or ordinary loss.
Similarly, on disposition of debt securities denominated in a foreign currency
and on disposition of certain futures contracts, forward contracts and options,
gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in the value of foreign currency
between the date of acquisition of the security or contract and the date of
disposition also are treated as ordinary gain or loss. These gains or losses,
referred to under the Code as "section 988" gains or losses, may increase or
decrease the amount of a Series' investment company taxable income to be
distributed to its shareholders as ordinary income.

                                       41

<PAGE>

     To comply with regulations under Section 817(h) of the Code, each Series of
the Trust generally will be required to diversify its investments so that on the
last day of each quarter of a calendar year, no more than 55% of the value of
its 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. For
additional information on the application of the asset diversification
requirements under Code Section 817(h), and the asset diversification
requirements applicable to regulated investment companies, potential investors
in the Market Manager Series should see "Federal Income Tax Status" in the
Market Manager Series' Prospectus.

     Generally, securities of a single issuer are treated as one investment and
obligations of each U.S. Government agency and instrumentality (such as the
Government National Mortgage Association) are treated for purposes of Section
817(h) as issued by separate issuers.

     In connection with the issuance of the diversification regulations, the
Treasury Department announced that it would issue future regulations or rulings
addressing the circumstances in which a variable contract owner's control of the
investments of a separate account may cause the contract owner, rather than the
insurance company, to be treated as the owner of the assets held by the separate
account. If the variable contract owner is considered the owner of the
securities underlying the separate account, income and gains produced by those
securities would be included currently in the contract owner's gross income.
Among the areas in which Treasury has indicated informally that it is concerned
that there may be too much contract owner control is where a mutual fund (or
series) underlying a separate account invests solely in securities issued by
companies in a specific industry.

     These future rules and regulations proscribing investment control may
adversely affect the ability of certain Series of the Trust to operate as
described in this Prospectus. There is, however, no certainty as to what
standards, if any, Treasury will ultimately adopt.

     In the event that unfavorable rules, regulations or positions are adopted,
there can be no assurance that the Series will be able to operate as currently
described in the Prospectus, or that a Series will not have to change its
investment objective or objectives, investment policies, or investment
restrictions. While a Series' investment objective is fundamental and may be
changed only by a vote of a majority of its outstanding shares, the Trustees
have reserved the right to modify the investment policies of a Series as
necessary to prevent any such prospective rules, regulations and positions from
causing the Variable Contract Owners to be considered the owners of the assets
underlying the Separate Accounts.

     The requirements applicable to a Series' qualification as a regulated
investment company and its compliance with the diversification test under Code
Section 817(h) may limit the extent to which a Series will be able to engage
in transactions in options, futures contracts or forward contracts, investments
in precious metals, and in short sales.

     Debt securities purchased by the Series (such as zero coupon bonds) may be
treated for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as having original issue discount.
Original issue discount is treated as interest for Federal income tax purposes
and can generally be defined as the excess of the stated redemption price at
maturity over the issue price. Original issue discount, whether or not cash
payments actually are received by the Series, is treated for Federal income tax
purposes as income earned by the Series, and therefore is subject to the
distribution requirements of the Code. Generally, the amount of original issue
discount included in the income of the Series each year is determined on

                                       42
<PAGE>

the basis of a constant yield to maturity which takes into account the
compounding of accrued interest.

     In addition, debt securities may be purchased by the Series at a discount
which exceeds the original issue discount remaining on the securities, if any,
at the time the Series purchased the securities. This additional discount
represents market discount for income tax purposes. Treatment of market discount
varies depending upon the maturity of the debt security. Generally, in the case
of any debt security having a fixed maturity date of more than one year from the
date of issue and having market discount, the gain realized on disposition will
be treated as ordinary income to the extent it does not exceed the accrued
market discount on the security (unless the Series elects for all its debt
securities having a fixed maturity date of more than one year from the date of
issue to include market discount in income in tax years to which it is
attributable). Generally, market discount accrues on a daily basis. For any debt
security having a fixed maturity date of not more than one year from the date of
issue, special rules apply which may require in some circumstances the ratable
inclusion of income attributable to discount at which the bond was acquired as
calculated under the Code. The Series may be required to capitalize, rather than
deduct currently, part or all of any net direct interest expense on indebtedness
incurred or continued to purchase or carry any debt security having market
discount (unless the Series makes the election to include market discount
currently).

DISTRIBUTIONS

     Distributions of investment company taxable income (which includes among
other items, interest, dividends, and net realized short-term capital gains in
excess of net realized long-term capital losses) and of net realized capital
gains, whether received in cash or additional shares are includable in the gross
income of the shareholder. Distributions of investment company taxable income
are treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. Net capital gains designated as
capital gains dividends by a Series will, to the extent distributed, be treated
as long-term capital gains regardless of the length of time a shareholder may
have held the shares. A distribution will be treated as paid on December 31 of
the calendar year if it is declared by a Series in October, November, or
December of that year to shareholders of record on a date in such a month and
paid by the Series during January of the following calendar year. Such
distributions will be taxable to shareholders in the calendar year in which they
are declared, rather than the calendar year in which they are received.
Distributions received by tax-exempt shareholders will not be subject to federal
income tax to the extent permitted under the applicable tax exemption.

OTHER TAXES

     Distributions may also be subject to additional state, local and foreign
taxes, depending on each shareholder's particular situation. Shareholders are
advised to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the particular tax
consequences to them of an investment in a Series. Depending upon the nature and
extent of a Series' contacts with a state or local jurisdiction, the Series may
be subject to the tax laws of such jurisdiction if it is regarded under
applicable law as doing business in, or as having income derived from, the
jurisdiction.

                                OTHER INFORMATION

CAPITALIZATION


     The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust established under an Agreement
and Declaration of Trust dated August 3, 1988 and currently consists of twenty-
six Series. The fourteen Series that are discussed in this Statement of
Additional Information and accompanying prospectuses and a Series that is
described in an additional prospectus and statement of additional information
are operational. The capitalization of the Trust consists of an unlimited number
of shares of beneficial interest with a par value of $0.001 each. The Board of
Trustees may establish additional Series (with different investment objectives
and fundamental policies) at any time in the future. Establishment and offering
of additional Series will not alter the rights of the Trust's shareholders, the
Separate Accounts. When issued in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and
Declaration of Trust, shares are fully paid, redeemable, freely transferable,
and non-assessable by the Trust. Shares do not have preemptive rights or
subscription rights. In liquidation of a Series of the Trust, each shareholder
is entitled to receive his or her pro rata share of the net assets of that
Series.

     On January 31, 1992, the name of the Trust was changed to The GCG Trust.
Prior to that change, the name of the Trust was The Specialty Managers Trust.

VOTING RIGHTS

     Shareholders of the Series are given certain voting rights. Each share of
each Series will be given one vote, unless a different allocation of voting
rights is required under applicable law for a mutual fund that is an investment
medium for variable insurance products.

     Massachusetts business trust law does not require the Trust to hold annual
shareholder meetings, although special meetings may be called for a specific
Series, or for the Trust as a whole, for purposes such as electing or removing
Trustees, changing fundamental policies, or approving a contract for investment
advisory services. The Trust will be required to hold a meeting to elect
Trustees to fill any existing vacancies on the Board if, at any time, fewer than
a majority of the Trustees have been elected by the shareholders of the Trust.
In addition, the Agreement and Declaration of Trust provides that the holders of
not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares or other voting interests of
the Trust may remove a person serving as Trustee either by declaration in
writing or at a meeting called for such purpose. The Trust's shares do not have
cumulative voting rights. The Trustees are required to call a meeting for the
purpose of considering the removal of a person serving as Trustee, if requested
in writing to do so by the holders of not less than 10% of the outstanding
shares of the Trust. The Trust is required to assist in shareholders'
communications.

CUSTODIAN AND OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS

     The Custodian for the Series is Bankers Trust Company, 280 Park Avenue, New
York, New York 10017. The Shareholders Services Group, Inc., One Exchange Place,

APPENDIX 1:  DESCRIPTION OF BOND RATINGS


Excerpts from Moody's Investors Service, Inc.'s ("Moody's") description of its
bond ratings:

     Aaa - judged to be the best quality; they carry the smallest degree of
investment risk. 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.
A - possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered as
"upper medium grade obligations." Baa - considered as 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. Ba - judged to have speculative elements; their future cannot be
considered as well assured. B - generally lack characteristics of the desirable
investment. Caa - are of poor standing; such issues may be in default or there
may be present elements of danger with respect to principal or interest. Ca -
speculative in a high degree; often in default. C - lowest rate class of bonds;
regarded as having extremely poor prospects.

     Moody's also applies numerical indicators 1, 2, and 3 to rating categories.
The modifier 1 indicates that the security is in the higher end of its rating
category; 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and 3 indicates a ranking toward the
lower end of the category.

     Excerpts from Standard & Poor's Corporation's ("S&P") description of its
bond ratings:

     AAA - highest grade obligations; capacity to pay interest and repay
principal is extremely strong. AA - also qualify as high grade obligations; a
very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal and differs from AAA
issues only in small degree. A - regarded as upper medium grade; they have a
strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal although it is somewhat more
susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic
conditions than debt in higher rated categories. BBB - regarded as having an
adequate capacity to pay interest and repay principal; whereas it normally
exhibits adequate protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity than in higher
rated categories - this group is the lowest which qualifies for commercial bank
investment. BB, B, CCC, CC, C- predominately speculative with respect to
capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with terms of the
obligation: BB indicates the lowest degree of speculation and C the highest.

     S&P applies indicators "+", no character, and "-" to its rating categories.
The indicators show relative standing within the major rating categories.

Item 25.  PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER CONTROL WITH REGISTRANT.

          As the date of this Post-Effective Amendment, a separate account of
          The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company ("MBL"), separate accounts
          of Hartford Life Insurance Company, separate accounts of Security
          Equity Life Insurance Company, and Golden American Life Insurance
          Company and its separate accounts own all of the outstanding shares of
          Registrant.

          MBL, Hartford Life Insurance Company, Security Equity Life Insurance
          Company, and Golden American Life Insurance Company are required to
          vote fund shares in accordance with instructions received from owners
          of variable life insurance and annuity contracts funded by separate
          accounts of that company.

Item 26.  NUMBER OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES.

          As of the date of this Registration Statement, there are 9
          shareholders of record of Registrant's shares.

Item 27.  INDEMNIFICATION.

          Reference is made to Article V, Section 5.4 of the Registrant's
          Agreement and Declaration of Trust, which is incorporated be reference
          herein.

          Pursuant to Indemnification Agreements between the Trust and each
          Independent Trustee, the Trust indemnifies each Independent Trustee
          against any liabilities resulting from the Independent Trustee's
          serving in such capacity, provided that the Trustee has not engaged in
          certain disabling conduct.

          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
          Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors,
          officers and controlling persons of the Registrant by the Registrant
          pursuant to the Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, its By-
          laws or otherwise, the Registrant is aware that in the opinion of the
          Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against
          public policy as expressed in the Act and, therefore, is
          unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against
          such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
          incurred or paid by directors, officers or controlling persons or the
          Registrant in connection with the successful defense of any act, suit
          or proceeding) is asserted by such directors, officers or controlling
          persons in connection with the shares being registered, the Registrant
          will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
          by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
          jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
          against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by
          the final adjudication of such issues.

               REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Board of Trustees
THE GCG TRUST

    We  have  audited the  accompanying  statements of  assets  and liabilities,
including the statements  of investments,  of the Liquid  Asset Series,  Limited
Maturity  Bond Series, Natural Resources  Series, All-Growth Series, Real Estate
Series, Fully Managed Series,  Multiple Allocation Series, Capital  Appreciation
Series,  Rising  Dividends Series,  Emerging Markets  Series and  Market Manager
Series (eleven of the Series comprising The GCG Trust) as of December 31,  1994,
and  the  related statements  of operations  for  the year  then ended,  and the
statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the two
years in  the  period  then  ended. These  financial  statements  and  financial
highlights  are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial  highlights
based on our audits. The financial highlights for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1992 were audited by other auditors whose report dated
February   1,  1993,  expressed  an   unqualified  opinion  on  those  financial
highlights.

    We conducted  our  audits in  accordance  with generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance  about  whether  the  financial  statements  and  financial
highlights  are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining on a
test basis, evidence  supporting the  amounts and disclosures  in the  financial
statements.  Our procedures  included verification by  examination of securities
held by the custodian as of December 31, 1994 and confirmation of securities not
held by the  custodian by  correspondence with  others. An  audit also  includes
assessing  the  accounting principles  used  and significant  estimates  made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement  presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In  our opinion, the financial  statements and financial highlights referred
to above  and  audited by  us  present fairly,  in  all material  respects,  the
financial  position of each of the  respective Series constituting The GCG Trust
at December 31,  1994, and the  results of  their operations for  the year  then
ended, and the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each
of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                                 THE GCG TRUST

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    The  GCG Trust, ("the Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 as a diversified, open-end series investment company and is intended  to
be  a funding vehicle for variable  annuity contracts ("contracts") and variable
life insurance policies ("policies")  offered by the  separate accounts of  life
insurance  companies. The Trust  currently functions as  the funding vehicle for
contracts and  policies  offered  by  Golden  American  Life  Insurance  Company
("Golden  American"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BT Variable, Inc. ("BTV"), an
indirect subsidiary  of  Bankers  Trust  Company, by  the  Mutual  Benefit  Life
Insurance   Company  in  Rehabilitation  and  by  The  Hartford  Life  Insurance
Companies. These financial statements include the following series of the Trust:
Liquid Asset ("LA"),  Limited Maturity Bond  ("LMB"), Natural Resources  ("NR"),
All-Growth ("AG"), Real Estate ("RE"), Fully Managed ("FM"), Multiple Allocation
("MA"),  Capital Appreciation ("CA"), Rising  Dividends ("RD"), Emerging Markets
("EM") and Market Manager ("MM"). The Trust's Manager is Directed Services, Inc.
("DSI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BTV (see Note 4). As of December 31, 1994,
the Portfolio Managers  of each  of the Series  above were  as follows:  Bankers
Trust  Company (LA,  LMB, EM  and MM), Van  Eck Associates  Corp. (NR), Warburg,
Pincus Counsellors, Inc. (AG), Chancellor Capital Management, Inc. (RE and  CA),
Weiss,  Peck & Greer Advisors, Inc. (FM),  Zweig Advisors, Inc. (MA), and Kayne,
Anderson Investment Management, Inc. (RD). Effective June 30, 1994, the Board of
Trustees of the Trust terminated the Portfolio Management Agreement between  DSI
and  J.M. Hartwell  & Company,  Inc., the  Portfolio Manager  of the  AG Series.
Effective July  1, 1994,  the Board  of Trustees  appointed Warburg  as the  new
Portfolio  Manager for such Series. Also  effective December 31, 1994, the Board
of Trustees  terminated  the Portfolio  Management  Agreements between  DSI  and
Weiss,  Peck and Greer  Advisors, Inc. and  Chancellor Capital Management, Inc.,
the Portfolio Managers  of the  FM and  the RE  Series, respectively.  Effective
January  1, 1995, the Board of Trustees appointed T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc.
and E.I.I. Realty Securities, Inc. as the new Portfolio Managers for the FM  and
the RE Series, respectively.

    All  Series commenced operations on January 24, 1989, except for the Capital
Appreciation Series  which  commenced operations  on  May 4,  1992,  the  Rising
Dividends  and the Emerging Markets Series which commenced operations on October
4, 1993, and the  Market Manager Series which  commenced operations on  November
14, 1994.

    The  following is a summary  of significant accounting policies consistently
followed in the preparation  of the Trust's  financial statements. The  policies
are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

    INVESTMENTS  VALUATION:  The  valuation of the  Trust's assets is determined
once each business day, Monday through Friday,  at or about 4:00 p.m., New  York
City time, on each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.

    Portfolio  securities for which market  quotations are readily available are
stated at market value. Market value is determined on the basis of last reported
sales price at  which domestic  and foreign securities  were traded,  or, if  no
sales  are  reported, the  mean between  representative  bid and  ask quotations
obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. In
other cases, securities  are valued at  their fair value  as determined in  good
faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

    The value of a foreign security is determined in its national currency based
upon  the price on the pertinent foreign exchange immediately preceding the time
of valuation.  Debt  securities, including  those  to be  purchased  under  firm
commitment  agreements are normally valued on  the basis of quotes obtained from
brokers and dealers or pricing services.  Debt obligations having a maturity  of
sixty days

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
or  less may be valued  at amortized cost unless  the Portfolio Manager believes
that amortized cost does not approximate market value. The Portfolio  securities
of  the Liquid Asset  Series are valued  using the amortized  cost method, which
approximates market value.

    CURRENCY  TRANSLATION:    Assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign
currencies and commitments under forward foreign currency exchange contracts are
translated  into U.S. dollars at the mean of  the quoted bid and asked prices of
such currencies against the U.S. dollar as of the close of business  immediately
preceding the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities are
translated  at  the  rates  of exchange  prevailing  when  such  securities were
acquired or  sold. Income  and  expenses are  translated  at rates  of  exchange
prevailing when accrued.

    The  Trust  does  not isolate  that  portion  of the  results  of operations
resulting from  changes  in  foreign  exchange rates  on  investments  from  the
fluctuations  arising from  changes in  market prices  of securities  held. Such
fluctuations are included with  the net realized and  unrealized gain (loss)  on
investments and foreign currency transactions.

    Net  realized foreign  exchange gains  and losses  arising from  the sale of
forward contracts,  currency gains  or  losses realized  between the  trade  and
settlement  dates  on securities  transactions, and  the difference  between the
amount of dividends,  interest and  foreign withholding taxes  recorded and  the
U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid were $25,156 for
the  Emerging Markets Series.  Net unrealized foreign  exchange gains and losses
arising from  changes  in  the  value of  assets  and  liabilities,  other  than
investments  in securities  at December 31, 1994  resulting from  changes in the
exchange rate  were $8,696  for the  Emerging Markets  Series. For  the  Natural
Resource  Series, All-Growth  Series, Fully Managed  Series, Multiple Allocation
Series and Rising  Dividends Series,  realized and  unrealized foreign  exchange
gains and losses were not material.

    REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS:  Each Series may enter into repurchase agreements in
accordance with guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust.  Each
Series  bears a risk of loss  in the event that the  other party to a repurchase
agreement defaults on  its obligations and  the Series is  delayed or  prevented
from  exercising its right to dispose of the underlying securities including the
risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during  the
period while the Series seeks to assure its rights. Each Series takes possession
of   the  collateral,  and   reviews  the  value  of   the  collateral  and  the
creditworthiness of those banks  and dealers with which  the Series enters  into
repurchase  agreements  to evaluate  potential risks.  The  market value  of the
underlying securities received as collateral must be at least equal to the total
amount of the repurchase obligation. In  the event of counterparty default,  the
Series has the right to use the underlying securities to offset the loss.

    FORWARD  CONTRACTS:   Certain  Series of  the Trust  may enter  into forward
foreign exchange  contracts in  order  to hedge  their  exposure to  changes  in
foreign  currency exchange rates on their  foreign portfolio holdings. A forward
exchange contract is a commitment  to purchase or sell  a foreign currency at  a
future  date at  a negotiated forward  rate. The  gain or loss  arising from the
difference between the cost  of the original contracts  and the amount  realized
upon  the closing of such contracts is included in realized gains or losses from
investment transactions. Fluctuations in the  value of forward foreign  currency
exchange  contracts  held  are  recorded  for  financial  reporting  purposes as
unrealized gains or losses by the Trust  on a daily basis. Risks may arise  from
the  potential inability of a  counterparty to meet the  terms of a contract and
from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to  the
U.S.  dollar. At December 31, 1994, there  were no open forward foreign exchange
contracts in any of the Series.

    FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- Each  Series of the Trust  is a separate entity  for
federal income tax purposes. No provision for federal income taxes has been made
since each Series of the Trust has

complied  and  intends to  continue to  comply with  provisions of  the Internal
Revenue Code available to regulated  investment companies and to distribute  its
taxable   income  to  shareholders   sufficient  to  relieve   it  from  all  or
substantially all Federal income taxes.

    Dividends from net investment income  and distributions from realized  gains
from  investment transactions have been determined in accordance with income tax
regulations and  may  differ  from  net investment  income  and  realized  gains
recorded   by  the  Trust.  These   differences  may  include  temporary  timing
differences related to recognition of income and gains or losses from investment
transactions and different treatment in wash sales.

    OTHER -- Investment transactions are recorded on trade date. Dividend income
and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest
income (including  amortization  of  premium and  discount  on  securities)  and
expenses   are  accrued  daily.  Realized   gains  and  losses  from  investment
transactions are recorded on  an identified cost basis  which is the same  basis
the  Trust uses for  federal income tax purposes.  Purchases of securities under
agreements to resell are  carried at cost, and  the related accrued interest  is
included in interest receivable.

2.  COST OF INVESTMENTS, UNREALIZED APPRECIATION AND DEPRECIATION, AND PURCHASES
    AND SALES OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES.
    At  December  31,  1994, the  cost  of  investments for  federal  income tax
purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes
(see the  Statements  of Investments).  The  gross unrealized  appreciation  and
depreciation  of investments  at December  31, 1994  and purchases  and sales of
investment securities  excluding  short  term  securities  for  the  year  ended
December 31, 1994 consisted of the following:
