THE SIRACH PORTFOLIOS
INSTITUTIONAL CLASS SHARES
Sirach Short-Term Reserves Portfolio
Supplement dated June 16, 1997 to the
Prospectus dated January 3, 1997
The information under the headings "FUND EXPENSES" on Pages 1 and
2 and "INVESTMENT ADVISER" on Page 29 is amended to reflect that
the Adviser, as of June 30, 1997, will no longer waive its
advisory fee or assume expenses otherwise payable by the Short-
Term Reserves Portfolio (the "Portfolio") in order to keep the
Portfolio's expense ratio from exceeding 0.50% of average daily
net assets.
